Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 951 Sports and Business 2

It's good enough that someone provides you with free clothing and training equipment, so how dare you ask for anything else. At this time, mainland China may have no problem with its performance in sports, but its philosophy is at least decades behind Western countries.

The market economy has just begun, and some regions and individual departments are still implementing the planned economy. In the past, in brother units, being able to give you an internal price was already a sign of gratitude, which showed that they gave you face. As for providing it for free, you don’t even have to think about it.

Zhang Yuliang followed up and said: "As a Chinese, it is natural for me to be able to do some trivial things for the country. If Director Zhang has any requirements, I can make them happen. If I can move, I will definitely do it; even if I can't do it, I will try my best to do it."

.”

Director Zhang may not understand what Zhang Yuliang's statement means; but as Bao Zixuan's father-in-law, he should be recognized. In short, in Director Zhang's heart, Bao Zixuan is a golden brand.

Director Zhang: "It's good to be able to provide the best clothing and training equipment, but I don't dare to force anything else."

The issue of donations is not frowned upon in China. After all, Huo Yingdong has set an example before. But we can’t just go to Mr. Huo for everything, and everyone will be embarrassed if it happens too many times.

Zhang Yuliang didn't expect to give up the money. He was really moved by the kindness of the people in China.

The Zhang family is a well-known family after all, and they cannot be stingy in anything they do. So they said without hesitation: "The sponsorship fee is in line with international practice, Director Zhang, please don't refuse."

"We are willing to spend 500 Hong Kong dollars as the sponsorship fee for athletes' clothing this time."

Five million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. I didn't expect that the other party would take it out. For a moment, Director Zhang didn't know what to say, other than thank you.

Director Zhang: "Thank you very much. When I think about the fact that there are so many patriotic businessmen in Hong Kong, I believe the athletes will be more motivated."

I didn't expect that 5 million Hong Kong dollars would be enough to get it done. It seems that the General Administration of Sports must not be having a very good time in this era. Since it can contribute, it will not sit idly by.

Bao Zixuan: "I was responsible for the transportation problems of the members of the Chinese Olympic delegation back and forth to the United States. At the same time, I was also responsible for the food and accommodation in the United States. This is just a small talk."

Seeing Director Zhang's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking. So he continued: "Director Zhang, don't refuse. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. We can make some insignificant contribution to the motherland. Don't take it too seriously. This matter is settled.

Domestic foreign exchange reserves should still be used for other needs."

Huo Yingdong did not expect Bao Zixuan to be so generous and not ask for anything in return. It shows that this guy really considers the development of the country. It seems that some things can be advanced.

The couple had already done this, and he couldn't stay out of it. So he said: "For every Chinese athlete, coach, and other staff member in the United States, I will use part of the funds to let them sell some souvenirs and bring them back. Don't refuse,

It’s a little bit of my thoughts.”

Although I knew that these three people were wealthy owners, I never expected that I would gain so much from just one visit. I was worried about insufficient funds before, but now it seems that everything has been solved, and it doesn’t require the country to spend a penny.

.

Seeing the confused expression on Director Zhang's face, Bao Zixuan decided to give the State Sports General Administration some suggestions in advance so that they could generate income so as to avoid the discomfort of athletes due to lack of funds when participating in sports events.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Actually, Director Zhang is guarding a small golden mountain instead of using it."

In fact, Bao Zixuan wanted to say that he should guard his golden rice bowl and beg for food, but that was too derogatory and not suitable to be said on this occasion.

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, several people had different expressions. Huo Yingdong and Zhang Yuliang knew that this guy must have some good ideas. Otherwise it would be impossible to say this, and it must be an idea that can make money.

No one dares to doubt Bao Zixuan's business acumen; Huo Yingdong and Zhang Yuliang both agree very much. President Li is even more excited, because Bao Zixuan's idea means it is feasible. This is the evaluation of Xiangjiang people, and I believe it will not happen this time

exception.

Although Director Zhang didn't know why this young Hong Kong tycoon said this, there must be a reason for him to be able to do such a big business.

Huo Yingdong must come out to smooth things over at this time, otherwise Director Zhang will say something inappropriate and it will be embarrassing then.

Huo Yingdong: "Director Zhang may not know much about it. Everyone in Xiangjiang Bao Zixuan admires his business judgment. As long as the little Bao student is optimistic about that stock, the stock will definitely skyrocket tomorrow. Now that the Sports Bureau is a golden mountain, I must

You have some ideas, we need to study them carefully."

Mr. Huo said this, obviously reminding the two of them to listen carefully; they must not express any objections before the time comes.

In fact, losing money in sports has always been an eternal problem, and there is even no good way to solve it.

Take the Olympic Games as an example. If a country wants to successfully host an Olympic Games, it needs to do enough homework in at least four aspects. They are bidding costs, venue and Olympic village construction costs, road and other infrastructure construction costs, and operation support costs. To

Take bidding costs as an example. Regardless of whether the bid to host the Olympic Games is successful, the participating countries will have to spend more than 100 million US dollars in bidding fees, which is a considerable loss for the losing country.

As the number of Olympic events increases and the number of participants continues to increase, the International Olympic Committee's requirements for the Olympic Village are getting higher and higher. During the Olympic Games, the Olympic Village must provide food for more than 10,000 athletes, coaches and related support personnel.

Accommodation, medical, entertainment and other services. Normally, the International Olympic Committee requires the host country to prepare 46,000 rooms for the Olympic Village, of which about 16,000 rooms are reserved.

As for infrastructure costs, the cost is even greater. This item is relatively friendly to developed countries, because the infrastructure construction in developed countries is generally relatively complete, and most of them can be used off-the-shelf. For developing countries,

Then you have to build it from scratch, and the cost is often astronomical.

Before the 1970s, due to the lack of cost and benefit data for each Olympic Games, we do not know whether the country that hosted the Olympic Games at that time made a loss or a profit, and how much it lost and how much it earned. The only thing that can be determined is that from 1968

The actual cost of every Olympic Games since 2001 has exceeded the original budget estimate, often by several times.

In the 1970s, after fierce competition, Montreal, Canada, finally defeated its rivals Los Angeles in the United States, Moscow in the former Soviet Union, and Florence, Italy, and won the right to host the 21st Summer Olympics. Montreal Mayor Jean Dapo was all proud of it.

He said: "Just like a man cannot give birth to a child, the Olympic Games cannot lose money," and claimed that Montreal will host the most frugal and perfect Olympic Games.

However, as beautiful as the wish is, the reality is as cruel as it is. The budget for an Olympic stadium built specifically for the Olympics in Montreal was US$145 million, but the actual cost was as high as US$2 billion. One Olympic Games cost Canada a huge loss of US$2.4 billion.

Canada's painful lesson had an immediate impact. When it bid for the 23rd Olympic Games in 1979, only one city participated in the bid, Los Angeles, and other cities were scared away.

To be honest, there are not many countries that can make money in the modern Olympics. Originally, the modern Olympics was a money-making business. The original design plan was for each host country to get money. Of course, when you get money, you become famous internationally.

Until the Los Angeles Olympics, the organizers of that year were very talented and introduced a large number of advertising sponsors, and turned that Olympics into a money-making Olympics.

This is true for the Olympic Games, let alone other sports. Therefore, in the view of the General Administration of Sports of China, engaging in sports must be a loss of money. However, some money must be lost, at least in line with the status of a major country.

Now that Bao Zixuan says he can make money, is it possible that this guy can conjure money out of thin air?

Bao Zixuan: "Although in the 1980 Olympics, the last one, the Soviets lost at least 8.8 billion U.S. dollars. But have you ever thought about it, that was because Western countries, and of course China, did not send a delegation to participate."

"The Soviets have invested hugely in infrastructure, and without tourists they cannot drive consumption. It can be said that they cannot make ends meet, and losing money is inevitable."

"Sports is a long-term undertaking. If it does not have the ability to generate income, many people will surely stand up to oppose it, especially when the country and nation are not yet wealthy."

Bao Zixuan talked about Director Zhang's heart. If it hadn't been for the top management to speak, it is estimated that there would be no delegation to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics; after all, going out to compete costs money, and it does not bring any economic benefits.
