Chapter 145: Opposition from Nina (Part I)

Led by Evan, Edward walked into the infield and took a good time to visit.

Edward Ireland is forty-three years old and has been promoting basketball at the gym for more than a decade.

He loves his job.

Last year, he and 10 others founded the National Basketball Association in an attempt to make basketball professional, but the results were not ideal. In addition to the reason for the existence of competitors, the competition itself is not brilliant, and the key is that it cannot attract audiences.

"What, you don't charge for admission?"

When Evan introduced that everyone would be able to enter tomorrow's Rubik's Cube competition for free, Edward was surprised, "So what do you rely on to recover the cost?"

Evan shook his head and explained with a smile, "Mr. Edward, we don't need to get money from tickets. ”

"Essentially, this contest is a big marketing campaign, an advertisement, for the sale of products. ”

"In order to maximize the publicity effect and promote the sales of our products, we want to have as many people as possible who walk into the venue, and charging tickets is not in line with this fundamental starting point. ”

"I see......" Edward nodded thoughtfully, and then he sighed, "It's a pity we can't do this......"

Seeing Edward's embarrassed face, Evan casually asked, "Mr. Edward, you seem to have a problem?"

"Yes!"

Edward graciously admitted.

"Mind talking about it?"

Edward smiled, "What can't be said about this......"

In a few words, Edward said the current predicament of the BAA League.

After listening to this, Evan helped analyze: "If you want the league to survive, the key is how to attract people into the stadium. ”

"That'...... true," Edward looked at Evan expectantly, hoping he would give a good suggestion.

"I think it's a good idea to make the game more enjoyable. ”

Edward was a little disappointed when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Do you mean to follow the Harlem Globetrotters, which combine sports with drama and comedy?"

The Harlem Basketball Team is a performance-based team that originated in Chicago and is made up of African-American teams.

"No, no, no!" Evan waved his hand and denied, "Although this is also a kind of ornamentation, I don't mean this. ”

"Basketball is a confrontational sport, and the intensity of the confrontation is also a kind of spectacle, think about it, if the scores of the two teams alternate rising, will you want to see the end, if the game is not decided until the last minute, will the people who are not there regret that they did not witness this moment......"

"That's what I mean by ornamentality......"

"However, this kind of spectacle usually requires two strong teams of similar strength to have a strong conversation to show it...... Therefore, in fact, it can only be achieved by strengthening the overall strength of the alliance team......"

"Well, it always feels like I'm talking nonsense, and you must know all about this Mr. Edward. ”

At this, Evan smiled embarrassedly at Edward.

Unexpectedly, Edward shook his head and said, "No, Evan, you are very right, it has inspired me a lot. ”

"yes, it's great to be able to help. ”

Evan laughed, he thought Edward was saying polite things.

Unbeknownst to Evan, Edward was telling the truth.

Immediately after Edward returned, he made a proposal to the Alliance.

One way to strengthen the strength of the league team can be said to be immediate, and that is to poach the strong teams of competitors.

As long as a strong team is poached, the league's average strength rises by one point.

It's much faster than building your own team.

……

At six o'clock, Nina took the three siblings to the lobby of the Albert Hotel.

The three siblings all changed into formal attire for the banquet.

Evan waited in the hall.

Nina's expression was much better, and Evan was finally relieved to see this.

However, when he saw Dora, who was a few steps behind Nina and looked reluctant, Evan asked curiously, "What's wrong with this girl?"

Nina glanced back at Dora and said angrily, "She instigated Robert to take her out to play, and I caught her." ”

Dora said angrily at this time: "Robert is the worst, he doesn't know how to keep it secret for his sister!"

Robert said helplessly: "Dora, I really don't blame me, it's you yourself who is too loud." ”

Evan listened and felt angry and funny.

He always felt that Dora had a tendency to become a bear child, which was not good.

Evan walked over to Dora and held out his hand for her to hold him. Then he turned to Nina and said, "I think my sisters are not inferior in music, and when I return to Sacramento, I can hire an extra tutor for them." ”

"Summer vacation is so long, it can't be wasted!"

"You don't have to worry about the money, just send me the bill. ”

Hearing this, Nina nodded and said, "Indeed, time cannot be wasted. ”

Hearing Evan's words, Dora's face immediately changed.

"Evan, you're the biggest villain!"

"Uh......h I don't want to go to a musical anymore!"

Half an hour later, 932 Seventh Avenue, Manhattan, outside the New Century Theater.

Two black Ford cars pulled up to the side of the road, Bob in a black suit pulled the door, Evan got out of the car first, and then carried Dora and Dorothy out of the car.

Dora, who had just lost her temper, was smiling all over her face at this time, as if the person who said "I'm not going" was not her.

At the entrance of the theater, director Abbott and a group of main creators greeted the guests and audiences.

Evan led Nina and his siblings towards the entrance.

He wanted to go inside in a low-key manner, but he was still caught by Abbott's afterlook.

"Evan!welcome, welcome!"

One of the crowds, Evan couldn't pretend he didn't hear, so he had to stop.

"Good evening, Mr. Abbott!"

"This is my mother, Nina, they are my brothers and sisters!"

Abbott respectfully saluted Nina, "Good evening, Mrs. Warren, it's been a pleasure to meet you. ”

"I hope you enjoy this play. ”

Nina replied with a few kind words, and then took the children to the theater.

Abbott wanted to lead the way himself, but Evan declined.

"Mr. Abbott, it doesn't have to be so grand, just treat us as ordinary spectators. ”

"Hmm...... It's better not to be sniffed by the media, or it will be very troublesome. ”

"You know more about this than I do, don't you?"

As he said this, Evan kept an eye out for a camera filming them.

Abbott naturally understood the meaning of Evan's words, nodded and said, "Understood, I'll pay attention." ”

He just knows about the governor's wife in the theater, and being known by the media will only cause trouble, and there will be no benefit.
