Chapter 80 The Sports Industry

On the way back, Fan Wuxian and Fan Ting met a young man from the United States.

A tall American boy carrying a canvas bag and riding a mountain bike, with a propaganda slogan posted on the back of his clothes, bilingual in English and Chinese, on which it was written that Fan Wuxian did not see too clearly, but the sign of the five rings was still very eye-catching.

By the way, I almost forgot about it.

Fan Wuxi patted his head and laughed, it's time to hold the Summer Games again this year, it seems to be in Los Angeles! This is a good opportunity to take a closer look!

"What do you think of again?" As soon as Fan Ting saw Fan Wuxi's action, she immediately knew that he was going to do some new tricks, so she asked.

"It's going to be the Olympics!" Fan Wuxian said happily.

"The Olympics? What does it have to do with us? Fan Ting asked with some puzzlement.

"Of course it has a relationship, and it has a big relationship!" Fan replied with an oath.

Fan Ting is a college student anyway, and there are records about the Olympics in the history books she usually studies, but because there has been no participation in the Olympic Games before, it has also led to the fact that ordinary people in China have a very general understanding of it, and many people don't know what these five rings are for, and their images are easily reminiscent of the circus Colosseum.

The Olympics are a money-spending business that requires a lot of money to support.

The 1972 Munich Olympics cost $1 billion, the 1976 Montreal Olympics cost more than $2 billion, and the 1980 Moscow Olympics cost more than $9 billion.

The Los Angeles Olympics to be held this summer is the first time since the establishment of the Olympic Games in 16 years that the Games will be hosted by the private sector, and there is no political axe subsidy, and it cannot increase the burden on taxpayers, and the US law also prohibits the issuance of lottery tickets, so all funds must be raised by themselves.

To this end, the Americans have entered into funding agreements with conglomerates, sold television broadcasting rights and tickets to games, reduced various expenses, made full use of existing facilities, tried not to build stadiums, did not build new Olympic villages, rented two university dormitories in California for athletes and officials, and recruited volunteers to volunteer for the conference.

In this way, the political axe not only does not have to pay a high expense for it, but can even benefit greatly from it.

From the beginning of this Olympic Games, the bid for the Olympic Games will become hot, it can be said that the Los Angeles Olympics has provided a new way of thinking for everyone, and it turns out that this kind of large-scale event can also make money!

Of course, there are many people who curse, and the most humiliating thing for the sports people is that the Olympic Games are too commercial, especially the torch relay in the United States, for which participants have to pay $3,000 for every mile they run, which is a blatant desecration of the Olympic spirit!

"I remember, it seems that Jianlibao drink made a name for itself from this Olympic Games! This sports industry has a lot to offer! And the clothing problem also needs to be solved, if you can take down the business of Olympic Games with running clothing, it is a great stimulus for your own garment factory! As soon as Fan Wuxian thought of this question, his mind immediately became flexible.

The clothing problem is easy to solve, it is nothing more than tailor-made, at most the use of some domestic high-end fabrics, now the main thing is not to rely on this to make money, but to win a good reputation! With popularity and reputation, you can be recognized by users, you can get the country's policy tilt, and the future business is not a bright future?

But the issue of sports drinks, another pillar industry of the Olympic Games, is worth scrutinizing.

It seems that it is necessary for me to go to Guangdong to take a look, has Jianlibao come up with it, and is there a production line for canned drinks, is there a ready-made one? If you want to temporarily invest in the construction of a production line by yourself, it is estimated that it is too late in time.

After Fan Wuxian returned to the hotel, he immediately went to Lao Chen of CCTV and asked him for various information about the Olympic Games.

"What do you want these things for?" Lao Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"I want to be a sponsor of the Olympics for a while, at least to solve the problem of clothing for our athletes! As you know, this is the first time that our new China's sports delegation has participated in the Olympic Games, which is of great significance. Fan replied with a grin.

"I know you make small household appliances, and I heard your father say that you have a pig farm, do you even have clothes?" Lao Chen felt a little surprised and couldn't help asking.

Fan Wuxian nodded in response, "Yes! We have a clothing company, mainly for export projects, and there will be no problem in making sportswear series, besides, we are willing to provide it to the Chinese delegation for free! ”

"Free?" Lao Chen scratched his head, thought for a while, and then replied, "I can help you ask about this, I heard that the delegation's funds are not relaxed, if you really have the heart, it is better to cover this cost!" ”

"You really think I'm a rich man!" Fan Wuxian smiled bitterly, "I've worked hard to make money!" Now I can think of doing something for the country, which is already the result of my family's parent education, and it is impossible to do it because there are too many loss-making transactions. Even if I want to, I have to feed so many people in my company first! ”

"The richer the master, the more he likes to be careful." Lao Chen pursed his lips and said.

Fan Wuxi suddenly stopped, "You're sorry for saying this, right?" ”

"I didn't say this first, it's Mr. Lu Xun." Lao Chen raised his head and said.

That being said, Chen worked hard to help Fan Wuxian gather information about the Chinese delegation's participation in the Olympics. CCTV is worthy of the title of the largest official media in China, these things are there, but they need to be sorted out, Lao Chen Suo lent out all the things that were not confidential and showed them to Fan Wuxi.

During this period, the management of some business information is not strict, if it is put in the next few decades, these things can be sold for money, and no one will do what Lao Chen gave to Fan Wuxian for nothing.

To Fan Wuxian's delight, he didn't find any news about Jianlibao, which means that this orange drink has not yet been released, and the Chinese sports industry uses a variety of drinks on various sports fields, but none of them are filled like Coca-Cola.

However, Fan Wuzhi also learned that Pepsi-Cola has a factory in Guangdong, and before he has time to set up a filling beverage production line, he can use the other party's production line to OEM.

In terms of sponsorship of clothing, it is much smoother, because at this time, there is still more than half a year before the official start of the Olympic Games, and the National Sports Commission has not made it clear what clothing the Chinese delegation must wear to enter the stadium at that time, and the sportswear is only required to choose a manufacturer with guaranteed quality.

Through Lao Chen's matchmaking, Fan Wuxian contacted the people of the Sports Committee and explained what he was willing to sponsor, and the people of the Sports Committee were still a little uncertain, but when Fan Wuxian hinted that his garment factory was attached to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, things were much easier, and between comrades, anything could be discussed.

According to the type of contestants in the Chinese delegation, Fan Wuxian designed several different sportswear for them, and indicated what kind of materials should be selected, what kind of movements should be encountered in various sports, and what should be unique in the clothing design.

After seeing Fan Wuxi's design description, the people of the sports committee were very happy, thinking that such a design is undoubtedly very forward-looking and targeted compared to the same domestic sportswear, and agreed in principle to adopt the sportswear sponsorship plan proposed by Fan Wuxi, and the formal cooperation agreement can only be finalized after the sample comes out.

In fact, although Fan Wuxian knows something about sportswear, he can't talk about being proficient, and the reason why he noticed many details is because he watched the schedule of the Yanjing Olympics and was very impressed by the Chinese team's clothing.

But when Fan Wuxian sent his design drawings back to the garment factory urgently, it really made the two masters busy for a while, which was a custom-made costume for the national team! And it's going to be worn when you're going to the U.S. for the Olympics! The two masters have been tailors for most of their lives, and they didn't expect that there would be such a great glory now!

It is conceivable that when the Chinese athletes appear on the podium in a foreign country, the clothes they wear are officially from the hands of our tailors at Versace Clothing Co., Ltd., or by the hands of my Master Feng and Master Cheng, and they must not envy those peers to death!

"These clothes are the focus of our work for most of the year!" Master Feng said sternly to the group of apprentices, "It is about the honor of our Chinese, everyone must raise the spirit of 120,000 points!" If you smash it, you don't have to wait for me to say you, you can put your head in the toilet yourself! ”

The whole factory up and down the 100 people suddenly put into the vigorous sportswear production boom, from the custom raw materials, size comparison, drawing, cloth samples, cutting, sewing, icon sewing, etc., are all in an orderly manner.

At this time, the signing representative of the Pingyuan Factory also came to Yanjing to meet with Fan Hengfan and his son.
