Chapter 205: NBA China Game
The whole team has been training for about a month and a half, and those netizens in the online sports forum have been arguing for a month and a half.
Some netizens said, "Li Hao is messing around like this, he is hurting the Oriental Sharks! He actually poached two unknown newcomers from the American college league! Sooner or later, he will take pills like this!"
"The boss of Yihao Entertainment Group, this is unwilling to pay, so I found two unknown college newcomers? It seems that the Dongguan men's basketball team will not watch the game in the future, I am afraid that the new season will also be at the bottom. ”
"Mr. Li, this is some negative news collected on the Internet, please take a look. Director Yu Lu personally handed over the collected comments and news to Li Hao.
Li Hao thought about it after reading it, after all, now his every move is in the eyes of the public, once public opinion occurs, it is likely that the white will be said to be black, and the black will be said to be white.
"How is the connection with the NBA China game? Including the friendly game, is there any contact with the right club?" Because the team has almost honed its training, Li Hao decided to have an activity similar to a friendly game and an exhibition game to heat up the atmosphere.
By the way, let the public media see if the Oriental Sharks are as bad as they say.
The reason why Yihao Entertainment Group was able to win the negotiation with the Shangyuan side was mainly because Li Hao bought the relevant domestic industries through the purchase privilege, so he obtained this valuable opportunity.
BA is a basketball league in the United States, which is generally held in the United States, but the NBA will hold games played by NBA teams in countries outside the United States in order to expand its influence.
A friendly match is a friendly match between two teams. Friendship first, competition second, there will not be too much friction and contradictions.
The exhibition game is a basketball performance activity, with freestyle basketball, fancy slam dunk and other entertainment basketball performances.
The three events are different events, but Li Hao wants to use the popularity of the NBA China to build confidence for his team at the same time, which will be very helpful in facing the upcoming new season.
"Mr. Li, the NBA side is still under discussion because of the issue of ticket revenue, rights and interests maintenance, etc., and it is expected that there will be a certain breakthrough in the next negotiation meeting. Yu Lu said with some embarrassment.
As everyone knows, the NBA has been very good at safeguarding all rights and interests related to the "NBA," and the US side will reject any inappropriate details.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll come out for an interview at the next meeting, after all, there is not much time left for the game, so hurry up and win this cooperation." Although Li Hao doesn't know much about basketball, he has an absolute advantage in terms of negotiation.
Because he has the two killer features of viewing privilege and buying privilege, he almost has a big say in business.
On Sunday morning, Li Hao drove his Lamborghini to the InterContinental Hotel in the Universal Center to negotiate with the American side about the NBA's cooperation itinerary with China.
Americans and Chinese have a very different way of thinking, they pay more attention to business, and as for the relationship or something, it does not work for everyone. And if you give a gift rashly, you will be prosecuted for bribery, and you will be dusted by the time comes.
Li Hao naturally knows this, so he will not do that with China's set of negotiation methods. But it won't exactly follow the example of the Americans.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Li of the Big Shark Club, right? Regarding this year's NBA China tour, I heard from the headquarters that it was carried out by your Yihao Entertainment Group, right?"
The person who met and negotiated with Li Hao was a tall foreigner with a height of 1.86 meters, with a very straight nose, deep eye sockets, slightly curly hair, and a customized suit, looking like a business style.
The foreigner's name is James, and he came with two colleagues, he is the main person in charge of this negotiation, has a certain right to speak, and represents the NBA official.
"Hello James, welcome to China. Li Hao simply shook hands with the other party, and then said a few polite words.
Some specific details of the negotiation are all handed over to his subordinates to the Ruihan team. The role of his trip is to make the final decision, and the decision is about the distribution of the box office.
As soon as the two sides sat down, it didn't take long for them to start a heated discussion on the distribution of interests between them.
NBA commissioner David Stern said at a press conference at the China Games that the first NBA in China did not make money, and could only say that there was no loss or gain.
David Stern's so-called "no loss, no gain" is from the perspective of the NBA's aircraft carrier. In fact, the net profit of the NBA Beijing Game alone reached 5 million. It's just that this 5 million is a very small number for the NBA official.
Even more exaggerated, it can be said that it cannot be compared with the profitability of domestic events in the United States. After all, the average annual salary of an NBA team is 7500+, and the annual salary of a casual big-name star is as high as 20 million, or even 30 million, 40 million, and it is still US dollars!
It is conceivable that if you come to China with the purpose of profit, from a certain point of view, it is already very good for China to say that you will not lose money. 5 million yuan, for them, it is not enough to plug the gaps.
With Li Hao's current economic strength, it is more than enough to play CBA, but if he wants to play NBA, unless he sells all his belongings, he really can't afford to burn money.
The same principle can also be used for football events, playing the Chinese Super League is more than enough, but if you want to play the Premier League, I am afraid that any heavyweight star will have a good time! After all, the value of these stars is calculated in billions. And it's also pounds. For example, Messi is worth 180 million pounds, which is equivalent to 1.6 billion yuan.
However, although Li Hao can't afford to play now, it doesn't mean that he can't afford to play in the future, as long as the money accumulates to a certain extent, these basketball stars and football stars in the future, in his eyes, are like a valuable chess piece, buy or sell, it is up to him to decide.
"Mr. James, according to the rules negotiated before, in the three major parts of the box office, sponsorship and TV broadcast in China, Shangyan can only get the box office, and it is not exclusive, the NBA will take 30% of the box office. But why are you asking for 45% of the box office this time? You know, if you don't pay the expenses, the profit on our side is very limited!" said director Xiang Ruihan and his team.
Xiang Ruihan and his team roughly calculated the market, there should be at least 15 million yuan of income, according to the 'medium 55 US 45' plan, their Yihao Entertainment Group will also get 8 million, so the profit will become very limited.
