Chapter 372 BBL Project (1)
What a person's public image is can be designed!
"Group photo of Usy Airport", "Usy sniffing Bodhi", "Usy picking Bodhi", these three plays are all planned by Old Mark, and Ussi is just the executor. Together, Usse's image in Germany has become bigger and more intimate!
Things on the surface are easy to solve, but things in the secret are a bit of a headache!
In order to acquire Adidas (North America) Company, Mark Sr. coerced German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in the name of "National Glory" and "Usy is enough to participate"; And Schroeder naturally found his way back to the field.
So, the money that old Mark made on Adidas stock must be taken out, and Usi must also contribute to the sports cause of his country! Otherwise, a notice of conscription for Ussey would have been sent to New York!
"You must know that the smoke of gunpowder in Israel and the Middle East is still burning, and Germany is likely to need to send a peacekeeping force over, if Ussi is requisitioned, hehe, it is likely that he will not be able to come back alive!"
This is the threat of Chi Guoguo, but Old Mark has to choose to compromise,
Frank Steinmeier, Jampner and others will wait patiently in the living room on the first floor, drinking red wine and chatting.
Old Mark led Usilis into the conference room on the second floor, pointed to the stack of contracts on the table, smiled bitterly, and slowly explained.
Usilis was furious in his heart, but he could only endure it, and after carefully reading all the contracts, he sighed and sat down.
The general terms of the contract are very simple: the Frederick family is to invest in the construction of at least four large stadiums for 20,000 people (the most luxurious) in Germany, and they can have priority to occupy a controlling stake; The government is responsible for bidding and supervision, etc., and Deutsche Bank is responsible for loans; Excluding land at an unknown price, the total investment is expected to be $600 million, of which the Frederick family will contribute no less than $400 million.
The good thing is that the German government will unconditionally support the annexation of the BBL (German Bundesliga) by the Frederick family (or the Rorsted family) in the future; Priority is given to supporting the Frederick family (or the Rorsted family) in the gradual annexation of EL (European Basketball Champions Cup) and ULEB (European Basketball League League).
The first benefit can be realized, but making money is not necessarily, and the upfront investment is a super pit!
The second and third benefit, don't be kidding, whether it's EL or ULEB, it involves the whole of Europe, and no one's mouth can open so wide!
Of course, Mark Frederick wasn't the only unlucky man, Caspar Rorsted also fell into the pit.
Some time ago, in order to compete for Adidas, the two fought openly and secretly, and the whole of Germany could not be quiet, which gave Schroeder a headache; Now, it's a headache to switch to the former!
Power is good, it can handle everyone!
All in all, what is the good thing about this, it is clearly to roast the Frederick family on the stove!
The first point is to explain the difference between a stadium and a stadium.
(1) The stadiums are all open-topped, the playing field is large, artificial turf or sand, and the field is open air, usually used for football, rugby, and baseball; Even if it was raining and windy, the game could still continue, and the fans were even more excited.
Soccer, football, and baseball are all spiked shoes that can be tossed on turf sand.
(2) The gymnasium is closed, the competition venue is small, the wooden floor, and the large screen lights and other equipment are hung over the field, which is usually used for basketball, ice hockey, boxing and so on.
Basketball and ice hockey are all nailless sneakers, roller skates, and ice skates, which can only slide on the wooden floor, and once it encounters rain, 100% falls, the consequences are unimaginable, what kind of career are you talking about?!
The second point is that due to the different directions of construction use and the different steel structure frames, there is a huge difference in the final construction cost.
The stadium does not need to be capped, and the difficulty of construction is lower, it can be large or small, from 3,000 to 70,000 people, and the construction cost is almost ordinary and increasing.
Stadiums are different, in the world, there are only three common ones, one is 500 people, one is 3,000 people, and the other is 20,000 people; However, the cost of construction is increasing several times, and the budget is extremely irregular.
For example, an ordinary 20,000-person gymnasium covers an area of about 60,000 square meters, and the total investment is about 150 million US dollars, excluding the land.
If you build some luxurious gymnasiums, conference rooms, locker rooms, training rooms, and install various advanced electronic equipment inside, you will need to invest 50 million - hundreds of millions of dollars in it, and there is no upper limit!
The third point is that the investment in the stadium is too large, and the investment cannot ensure profitability, so not many tycoons are willing to participate.
In Europe, it's very easy to find a stadium with a size of 20,000 people, because there are so many football giants!
On the other hand, if you look for a 20,000-person gymnasium in Europe dedicated to basketball games, I'm sorry, there aren't any!
Except for countries that have hosted the Olympics, which may have reluctantly built a 3,000-seat stadium in order to bid for the Olympics, the others are 500-seat or even smaller.
In most cases, basketball games in Europe are made do on the football field, which is to sell a few more tickets, but the perception is extremely poor, and the fans do not buy it at all, and over time, it is dragged half-dead.
If you look at the NBA, except for the Spurs, the other 28 teams have their own home stadiums, all of which are 20,000 people; Specifically, due to the different design concepts and different steel structure frames, the number of seats will be somewhat different, and the actual capacity is between 17,000 and 20,000 people.
Example: The supersonic Key Arena, with 17,074 seats, is the smallest arena in the NBA.
Examples: MSG (Madison Square Garden) has 19,763 seats, Spoutes Center has 18,997 seats; Combined with the temporary placement of seats for players, as well as seats for insiders' relatives and friends, business tycoons, and political tycoons, it is definitely enough for 20,000 people.
It can be said that the NBA relies on more than 20 stadiums with a scale of 20,000 people to support it!
By analogy, if you want to create a basketball league similar to the NBA in a certain country, you need at least 10 large sports institutes!
Do the math, how much of an investment is this?!
Aside from the land, the initial investment in the stadium alone will be $1.5 billion, and the minimum estimate for the second additional capital is $500 million. (To be continued.) )
