Chapter 14: Here comes the opportunity! (2nd Update)

"Go on!"

The chubby Xiaoquan, obviously very interested in Sun Yifu's statement, continued to ask.

"So now the only way we can do it is for Qingdao High School to re-engage in Chunjia."

"Have they been eliminated?"

Koizumi asked.

Don't look at it as the president of a news agency, but he's not a fan himself. The real top rich man also has very few fans.

"It's been eliminated, and it was previously lost to Tokyo's giant Inagi Industrial High School."

"Can't you use a wild card slot?"

First of all, Koizumi thought of a wild card slot.

"I'm afraid not."

Sun Yifu shook his head: "According to our previous regulations, the wild card can only be used for those teams that have the strength but do not have the qualifications to play in Koshien. Seido High School had just shown itself in Koshien two months ago, and it was not a case where a wild card could be used. ”

Although I am very eager to let Seido High School participate in the Spring League, for the sake of this team, breaking the rules set by the news agency before, the people of the Mainichi Shimbun will not do this.

This is also a typical island country personality, whether it is their people or businesses. Once a certain thing is decided, it is very rigid and not flexible at all.

If you put it in our place, we will come up with 10,000 ways to solve it. But in the island country, they can't think of a way, or should say so, and even if they do, they won't do that.

Such a personality has its strengths and weaknesses. To use an analogy, there is no shortage of people in this country who have the spirit of craftsmanship. And our country has never lacked the kind of generals who dare to break new ground, but there have never been a few people who can achieve the pinnacle in a certain thing.

Pull away, and continue to tell the story.

"If you can't use the wild card slot, is there no other way?"

Executives, you look at me, I look at you.

In the end, no one spoke.

There is no way.

"Why did those advertisers terminate their contracts?"

Since there is no way to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, it is not impossible to treat only the surface.

Koizumi asked after changing his perspective.

"There are many reasons for this, such as the Grandland Group. They themselves were sponsored for Sawamura's sake, and if Sawamura's Eisun could not participate in the spring Koshien period, then the Hirota Group would lose the meaning of sponsorship. I've talked to those Chinese advertisers. It seems that because of a reality show, they specially came to sponsor it. If Seido High School is not able to participate, their sponsorship seems to be meaningless. ”

Reality TV!

As soon as he said this, Koizumi understood.

It is precisely because he understands that his heart is more uncomfortable.

Today's Shenzhou is not what it used to be. The baseball career, although it has not yet fully risen, has faintly begun to emerge.

Soon it will become the largest baseball market in Asia.

Koizumi is more confident in this than anyone else.

Let's take football as an example, how much more are they and the strength of the stick country than that of Shenzhou?

To put it mildly, the two sides are not on the same level at all.

But even so, Asia's largest football market is still the Chinese Super League.

There's no way around it. Who makes people have a lot of family and money.

The stars of the year in Europe and the Americas were stunned to be able to wave money and buy them.

You can't accept this.

It's the same with baseball!

Once it does become a trend, it will soon be a boom in baseball.

At that time, if Chunjia can cooperate with them, how much benefit will it have?

It's hard to imagine.

Even if it doesn't cause a sensation, people just drop a small hair, and that money is a lot. Koizumi has heard that the production cost of variety shows in the mainland has not been launched at all!

What a terrible thing to do.

Such a good opportunity, just let it go.

It's really a sigh of relief.

But the rigid character limits their imagination. Although they thought it was a good opportunity and it would be a pity to let it go, they still didn't change their rules for the sake of this opportunity.

It wasn't until two weeks later that things took a turn for the better.

On the Jingu Stadium, Daocheng Industrial High School, as the host, passed all the way and won the championship.

Especially in the final game, they battled 12 rounds and finally relied on Carl Ross to seal the final victory.

Because of the experience of playing with Sawamura Rongjun, the people of Daocheng Industry have a good experience on how to attack these demon king-level pitchers.

That's what set them up for victory.

The champion of the Jingu Tournament directly advanced to Koshien.

Yakushi, who originally had to compete for the fifth place in Kanto, took the position of Tokyo champion and also advanced.

In this way, both teams in Tokyo have already qualified.

In accordance with the default rules of the General Assembly in the past, this is a time for balance. Now that the second place in Tokyo has been promoted, the last half of the place will definitely go to the fifth place in the Kanto convention.

"How's that going to work? A place in Tokyo is a place in Tokyo, and it must be given to Tokyo. ”

When Koizumi held a meeting, he set the tone.

Everyone knows what their boss wants to do? As employees under the boss, they just think about what to do.

In the affairs of this world, after avoiding the rules, the results that can be obtained are nothing more than two sentences.

If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can do it.

If you say no, you can't, and you can't.

Let's have another horizontal batch, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!

When these people at the Daily News Agency, after carefully summing it up, they finally came up with an idea that was not too bad and barely said in the past.

That's the playoff.

In the quarterfinals in Tokyo, three more rounds of eliminations will be held to decide who will compete with the fifth place in the Kanto region for the half of the promotion spots.

This rule, as soon as it is spoken. The voices of online support and scolding are on par.

Supporters believe that the Mainichi Shimbun is really iron-faced and selfless, and does things according to the rules.

The scolding people think that the Daily News is a stinky foot that holds Qingdao High School with an iron heart.

You're the so-called Tokyo quarter-finals, and two of them have already qualified. I deliberately picked two refills to come in.

One of them is Seido High School.

This approach is actually not shameless, no matter how you choose, Qingdao can be chosen.

But why isn't the other one the most powerful Didong? Rather, a team of fish belly?

"It's ridiculous!"

The Daily News' breaking of the default rules has caused some backlash. But the default rules are not those iron rules after all, and no one can really say anything.

And the Mainichi Shimbun will not take this matter seriously.

Jokes aside, the more heated the online discussion, the more successful their strategy is.

The attention that is received for free in this way is even better than the deliberate advertising.

They are stupid to disagree.
