Chapter 754 - Strict with others, lenient with oneself

Many people may not know that the Atlanta Olympics in '96, the United States made a lot of money. How good is the political axe over there? They outsourced the Olympics to some businessmen.

That's right, it's the package to the merchant. And those general contractors are then subcontracted to other businessmen.

For example, the project of the basketball game is contracted to some businessmen, who are responsible for building a basketball stadium that meets the requirements, formulating a ticket sales strategy, etc., and the merchants also participate in the sharing of the income from the sale of tickets.

A grand sporting event that attracts global attention makes them feel like a sports league competition in their country.

As many people know, there are four major sports leagues in North America, which are football, ice hockey, baseball, and basketball. Among them, ice hockey is the most popular in Ghana, football is the most popular in the United States, baseball is good in both countries, and the same is true for basketball.

The four major sports leagues are called the big four because of their large scale, many participating teams, and a lot of money. Many businessmen also compete to become team owners because of the increased exposure.

If their team wins the league, they can be on the cover of the world's top magazines like Time Magazine, and they can become city heroes, which they couldn't do in business before.

Sports competitions, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, are as developed as the entertainment industry, and sports competitions are still very intense, which can involve the hearts of those sports fans.

Of course, the reason for borrowing may also have something to do with the fact that Americans don't like to save.

In short, both the American and Atlanta political axes believe that the Olympics is nothing more than a global sports league, with more types and more intensive events, and everything else is more or less the same.

Those businessmen have experience in hosting other sports leagues, and they will certainly have no problem organizing the Olympics, and they will be able to reduce expenses and increase income for the political axe, so they don't have to worry so much.

So at the '96 Olympics, many people who went to Atlanta didn't watch much of the Olympics, but they watched a lot of concerts. Including singers' concerts, operas, stage plays, etc.

None of them are supposedly authorized by the Organising Committee, but they have the support of the Atlanta Axe, especially many of the organizers, who are affiliated with the same company that organizes some of the Olympic events.

They came up with a package of tickets, which can be regarded as blinding many people.

Let's say you buy a ticket to a basketball game, but the other party recommends a package ticket to you, buys a basketball game ticket, and gives away a ticket to a concert. It is said to be a gift, but in fact, the ticket price of the basketball game is much higher than the announcement, and the ticket price of the concert has long been included.

In addition, because of the lack of attention to the American political axe, the Atlanta political axe has not held such a large-scale event, and many situations are not well considered.

The traffic here is not smooth, and many people from other states in the United States have driven here to play, which has caused frequent traffic jams here, and even athletes, referees, and reporters have been stuck in traffic jams on the road more than once.

There is also a serious shortage of taxis here, and they don't care about some language barriers. The taxi driver also worked part-time as a scalper, and the ticket for the reverse** race was high-priced.

Many Chinese people think that only China has scalpers, but in fact, there are them in most countries, including those developed countries. Because there is demand, there will be a market, the punishment is not large, and the benefits obtained may be very high, of course, there will be some people who like to take risks.

In fact, not only the Atlanta Olympics, but also the previous Los Angeles Olympics were also hosted by private companies, but at that time it was somewhat better, and the global media was not as developed as it is now, and there were not so many criticisms.

But in any case, the companies and cities in the United States have made money, and they don't care if others are not satisfied, they are very satisfied anyway.

The IOC is not happy about this, we are the largest international sports competition organization, aspiring to sports competitions and cultural exchanges, and promoting global solidarity, not for you to make money.

Besides, if you accept sponsorship for the Olympics, you can already make a lot of money, and you will be too much to develop your surroundings to the extreme, which will affect the Olympics.

So the IOC communicated with other countries that the Olympics can't be so commercial anymore, we are not here to make a profit.

The American side was the first to agree, even raising its hands in the air. In this way, it is as if they recognize a previous mistake, and that mistake is meant to remind other fraternal countries not to make mistakes.

In fact, they also know that they will not be able to hold the Olympics again in a short period of time, and the money is almost gone, so in order to let more people remember the Olympics they held, other countries should do a bad job.

In many things, the American government follows a principle, strict with others and lenient with oneself.

We did something wrong, at most apologize, anyway, it's already in the past, so don't take it to heart. But others can't do that anymore, and we, as seniors, have already told you that it's not good.

You say that we have benefited before? No, no, these are all rumors, but we have been working hard for global peace and development!

As a result, the Sydney Olympics in the millennium was held in a very regular manner, whether it was a variety of pre-competition and post-game inspections, or transportation planning, competition accommodation planning, etc., all of which were very good, and Sydney also built a new Olympic main stadium for this purpose.

And then...... The Sydney Olympics lost money!

Others make money by hosting the Olympics, but Sydney loses money because Sydney was forced to improve its hardware facilities, forced to increase its spending in many other aspects, and reduced some peripheral income.

Of course, some of Sydney's Olympic buildings will still be preserved in the future and can still be used, and there are also some infrastructures that belong to the political axe that should have been invested, just because the Olympics were advanced.

The loss of money in the Sydney Olympics also made the multiple rounds of bidding with Huaxia Beijing more vigilant.

Duolunduo originally planned to outsource to some professional companies like Atlanta, let them organize it, and hand it over to the political axe to make a difference.

But now it can't be done, it must be organized by the National Olympic Organizing Committee, the political axe must be vigorously cooperated, and some commercial activities have also been banned.

Atlanta has made a breakthrough at least in terms of competition results, of course, it has something to do with the lax inspection before and after the game, but now the inspection is strict, and when I didn't watch the Sydney Olympics, how many athletes were directly banned.

Many rounds of hatred of the American political axe, why do you eat and wipe it clean, and then withdraw the plate, what should we do?

Therefore, the multi-round multi-political axe is not so active, from the propaganda slogan to the commitment to supporting investment, it is far inferior to the Huaxia political axe. Duolunduo also thinks that some of their old venues can be used without repairs, and it is a waste of money to invest more.

With the combination of various reasons, Wang Haoan determined that this bid for the Olympic Games will be a success in the capital of China, and when it is held, it will also be successful!
