Chapter 137: The Youngest Richest Man Is Born!
July is the peak tourist season in Southeast Asia, usually this period of time airlines will launch a large number of promotional discount tickets, not to mention the so-called 0 yuan air tickets that only need to pay taxes, it is normal to be lucky to buy a few hundred yuan round-trip tickets, but in July 3 and 4 in 1997, the ticket price almost climbed the ladder overnight. The Chinese national youth team is behind this result, as they have reached the final of the World Youth Championship and are about to compete with the football kingdom of Brazil for the championship of this tournament. A large number of Chinese fans have started buying tickets to Kuala Lumpur for these two days, and everyone wants to be able to watch the game live.
Before the Chinese team defeated the French team after 117 minutes of hard play, the Brazilians easily defeated Spain 3:1 in 90 minutes to advance to the final.
In the past few days, the Chinese national youth has become the most watched football team in the world, and various statistics about their cup have also been picked up by major well-known media:
and Brazil as the only two teams to remain unbeaten in regular time to reach the final.
The team's Li Jinyu scored 7 goals and tied with Ghana's Ofriquaye for second in the scorer list.

It is rumored that Li Jinyu, the striker of Guangzhou Sun God Club, has initialed a contract with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and it will be announced after the World Youth Championships.

It is rumored that French actress Sophie Marceau is 11 weeks pregnant, and the father of the child is Li Boen.
According to well-informed sources, Li Boen of the Chinese national youth team is privately called the ball bully by the players, and it is rumored that even the head coach will be at his disposal when arranging tactics.
It is rumored that many European giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, etc., have a strong interest in the defender of the Chinese national youth team, Li Boen, and the transfer fee is expected to be no less than 20 million euros.
......
Before the final, the odds of the Chinese team winning the championship have reached 1:3.3, and the odds of the Brazilian team of 1:1.63 also show that people are still more optimistic about the traditional powerhouse Brazil, especially the Brazilian team is the alien Ronaldo. Most of the people who are optimistic about the Chinese team have pinned their hopes on Li Boen's speed and long-range shooting, after all, from the perspective of physical conditions, the Chinese team seems to be more like an alien.
The final was scheduled to be played at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, the largest venue in Southeast Asia, which can accommodate 87,411 people, and was prepared by the Malaysian government for the Commonwealth Games in '98. FIFA World Junior Championship Ticket Office officials said tickets for the match went on sale at 7 a.m. on July 4 at 11 a.m. According to the system, a total of 4,289 tickets were purchased with Brazilian passports, more than 22,000 tickets were purchased with European, American, Australian and Philippine passports, 20,300 tickets purchased by locals, and more than 38,600 tickets purchased with Chinese passports. 12 hours before the start of the game, many people stayed up all night, trying their best to get a ticket, in short, 1 ticket is hard to find, and in the end, even a ticket in the back of the corner stands was fried from 25 ringgit (about 50 yuan) to 300 ringgit (600 yuan), 600 yuan in the 90s, the purchasing power is strong. The tickets in the hands of scalpers like Guicheng were quickly won by fans from afar in China.
In addition to the tickets, the magic box of the top 24 of the World Youth Championships produced by the official and Rice Sports was also hyped up by fans. The Magic Box uses holographic technology to introduce 24 teams, complete with family photos, starting and substitute lineups, the teams each player is currently playing for, as well as detailed information and introductions of each team's core players, and an interview with the team boss. The magic box is equipped with a small remote control, for example, if you choose Ronaldo of the Brazilian team, the hologram of Fat Luo will be released in the magic box, as the information changes, Ronaldo's image will also change, when introducing his career, Fat Luo will change the jersey on his body, from Cruzeiro in Brazil to Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, and then Barcelona in La Liga.3 This batch of magic boxes can also see the image of Ronaldo just completing the transfer and wearing the Inter Milan jersey, and the interview part is the real image of the media interview, Including the sound is all original.
The price of 1 magic box reached 80 US dollars, and it is said that the 200,000 copies produced in a hurry could not satisfy the fans at all, and the sale began on July 3, and 40 copies were sold out at 7 pm that day, plus the previous sale of 1 million magic boxes sold around the world, the revenue of this item was as much as 96 million US dollars. Among them, Rice accounted for 4 percent, FIFA wanted to pay the authorization to the players of each team, so it took 6 percent, Li Bourne this time is purely trying to see the reaction of the market, after all, next year's World Cup in France is about to start, and FIFA is naturally happy to add more income. Li Boen estimated at the beginning that it would be good for him to earn 500-10 million yuan in such a youth event, but who knew that it would be easy to enter the account with 38.4 million US dollars, and according to the exchange rate of 8.28 in 97, it would be stable to start with nearly 320 million.
As a result, Li Byrne was preparing for the finals, and the phone calls kept coming. Boy! Capital, this is like a shark smelling blood and chasing after it! Also, the holographic technology that Rice applied in the league last time has not been promoted to the world and has already made a lot of money. It is no exaggeration to say that with the efforts of the European branch, the top leagues of more than 17 countries in Europe, including the five major leagues, have purchased Rice's holographic technology. The fee for a game is $250,000, taking the Bundesliga as an example, a team has 34 league games a year, including 17 at home, which will cost $4.25 million. Some European fans protested that Rice's technology had increased the cost of watching the game, and Rice Europe wanted to hold a press conference to explain, but Lee Bern stopped him directly. Just kidding, the fare is not set by our Les, who should go to whom. Of course, those European capitals will not pay attention to the complaints of a few fans, and consider that a ticket that used to cost a minimum of $25 is now sold for $40. For example, a medium-sized stadium with a capacity of 50,000 spectators, the original ticket price ranged from 25, 40, 60, 80, 120, and was evenly distributed according to the seats in each grade, and the club could earn about $3.25 million before using Rice technology. Now, although the average ticket price has only increased from the original 65 to 80, but after deducting the $250,000 paid to Rice, the club can still earn an extra $500,000 per game, which is $8.5 million for 17 rounds a year, and it is only $20 million for Baggio to transfer from Bologna to Inter Milan in '98.
After that, Mr. Li sent it again. At $4 million, 18 teams are $72 million, 17 countries! What is the concept, it is a business of 1.2 billion US dollars in 1 year. Coupled with the dividends of "Titanic" this year and miscellaneous inputs, the young man is the youngest richest man in the country, worth more than 10 billion, and he is already one of the top ten richest people in the country in 97. And this income will be there every year, with the rise in prices, after 2000 it will definitely not be a team of 4 million dollars a year.10 years later, Lee Bourne will only be 27 years old, and no one knows how much energy a young rich man worth more than 100 billion dollars will have at that time.
However, it is still no problem to save a mere Chinese football.
