The 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain was the 12th edition of the FIFA World Cup.

The tournament was held in Spain from June 13 to July 11, 1982, and it was the first time that the World Cup was held in Spain.

Fans who have watched La Liga in the past know that the Spanish league, regardless of the level, has always been at the forefront of the construction of stadiums in Europe and even the world.

The most famous stadium in Madrid, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, was built on December 14, 1947 as the Stadio Chamartín Nova until January 4, 1955, when it was renamed in honour of the former president of the Real Madrid club, Santiago Bernabéu.

The stadium is currently being renovated for the 1982 World Cup final in Spain!

Now, just the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium requires more than 200 cubic meters of high-quality marble!

But how many stadiums were there for the 1982 World Cup in Spain?

17 pcs!

They are spread across 14 cities in Spain, with the capital Madrid, the harbour city of Barcelona and Seville each boasting two stadiums!

The amount of high-quality marble needed to renovate the 17 stadiums is staggering, with a conservative estimate of at least 2,000 cubic meters!

And that's just the marble needs for the stadium repairs!

For Spain, who wanted to make the World Cup a national event, in 1982 they still had a lot of renovation and new construction projects, such as churches or attractions, where the demand for high-quality marble was like a huge black hole!

It's not that Europe doesn't have so much high-quality marble, but this thing is usually produced in small quantities - because the usual demand is not as short as the time, and relatively much, so the old Europeans' slow marble production is obviously unable to meet this demand, and Spain has to import heavily from other countries, the first of which is Italy and Greece, which are also in the Mediterranean trade circle.

But it's clear that Italy and Greece don't produce that much at all, so their export prices have skyrocketed, even to Turkish marble, which has a bad relationship.

You know, Turkey, as a country across the Eurasian continent, has always been untreated by Western European countries, commercial barriers and trade blockades have always existed, and tariffs have been high, but for this time's demand, Spain has even lowered the import tariffs on high-quality marble to facilitate imports from Ankara and several other Turkish cities that produce marble.

It can be seen that now as long as you have marble in your hands and the quality is good enough, you don't have to worry about the Spaniards having no money to buy it!

In order to let Zhong Bai know the news as soon as possible, Yu Dongfeng even did not hesitate to call the duty office of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, and directly asked the staff on duty to go downstairs and call Zhong Bai, who was about to take the commuter car of the unit, back!

“…… Brother, this time I feel that it is a great opportunity, I inquired, as long as the quality is not low, the texture is clear, the pressure resistance is strong, and the radiation dose does not exceed the average European standard of high-quality marble, the import price in Spain is equivalent to about 800 yuan a cubic meter, which still includes import duties! The uncontrollable excitement in Yu Dongfeng's voice, his voice shouted extremely loudly, which shook the eardrum on the other end of the phone, and even hurt a little!

This information was heard by Yu Dongfeng non-stop in the local building materials market in Athens.

In fact, it was not as difficult as he had anticipated to inquire about this information.

Because those enthusiastic Greek businessmen don't want to hide anything from Yu Dongfeng - anyway, everyone has no stock in their hands, and they are all waiting for whether there is an overseas source of goods, as long as a foreign face who looks like a businessman, Greek businessmen are not hesitant to talk to them, who knows if they can decide to make a big deal in a few words?

“…… So you can be sure that because of the World Cup, Spain's domestic demand for high-quality marble has been soaring since March? Zhong Bai also couldn't believe the news, so he confirmed with Yu Dongfeng again.

In his previous life, Zhong Bai, who was a senior scientific researcher, was not a football fan, and he had never studied the World Cup economy, after all, it was more than 108,000 miles away from his professional work, so after hearing the news brought by Yu Dongfeng, he was still a little dizzy.

"That's right, it's a sure thing! Before I came to Greece, I didn't know that there were so many countries and so many people in the world who were so fanatical about the game of football! Yu Dongfeng also replied excitedly: "Zhong Bai, I dare to say that as long as there is stock, there must be as much to eat as there is in Spain!" You don't have to wait there, immediately go to Heyuan City and let them set up a marble mining and processing plant, from now until July, there will be absolutely no worries about sales! And as long as this wave can open the Spanish market, I believe that after the reputation of domestic marble is made, it will definitely be able to flow for a long time! ”

I have to say that Yu Dongfeng's business acumen has evolved N grades now, and he definitely has a considerable international vision!

As an export product of a strange country, it is undoubtedly the right time to open the door to the market of an unfamiliar overseas country and meet the World Cup, which is an excellent opportunity once every four years!

As an old maritime trade power, Spain's foreign trade reached its peak in the 17th century, ranking first in the world in the Age of Discovery.

Hanging up the phone, Zhong Bai felt that time was a little insufficient.

The "conservative estimate" I said to Lu Xudong today is 600 yuan a cubic meter, but the price Yu Dongfeng just gave is 800 yuan a cubic meter, and the difference alone is as much as 200 yuan a cubic meter, not to mention that Baifeng Trading Company also needs to extract at least 10% of the agent export fee in accordance with industry regulations!

Even Zhong Bai has already begun to think about whether to let Baifeng Trading Company just act as an export agent, or simply have a bigger appetite and directly let it eat the spot, and then export it himself!

The former method is less profitable, but less risky, and does not require much money.

The latter method is more profitable, but it is much riskier, because it is inevitable to buy from the processing plant yourself and then export it, and pay a large amount of money in advance.
