Chapter 541 North American Baseball League

The official final was held two days later, on June 23, 1870.

This time, the 5th North American Professional Baseball League Finals in Mexico City will be held with unprecedented grandeur, and the game will be held at the newly completed Royal Red Oak Stadium.

It is named Royal Red Oak Stadium because it was built with an investment of 8.7 million yuan from Royal Red Oak Bank. It can accommodate 42,520 spectators and can host professional baseball games, English football, rugby and other large sports events.

, is the largest and most well-equipped stadium in the world today.

The cheapest tickets for the finals were priced at 1.2 yuan, and the most expensive courtside VIP seats were priced at 98 yuan. The audience for the finals on June 23 was full.

For this final alone, the ticket sales reached more than 520,000 yuan, not including billboards and other sponsorship revenue.

before the game starts

171 vendors are already busy. They are beer salesmen and beverage salesmen carrying large iron buckets. The drinks include squeezed sugar cane juice and sweet orange water, all of which are carried in large iron buckets behind their backs, with ice underneath the buckets.

Block, there is a leather pipe with a faucet connected to it.

A cup of beer in the stadium costs 5 cents, and a drink costs 5 cents. This is almost twice as expensive as the price outside, but it is still in short supply.

The only snacks are popcorn, which also costs 5 cents each.

After this competition, the sales of snacks and beer alone amounted to tens of thousands of yuan. This shows how high the enthusiasm of consumers is?

Surrounded by the organizing committee officials and local government officials, His Royal Highness Tang Lixin, the eleventh son of the emperor, arrived as the most distinguished guest, ready to award the trophy to the victorious champion.

The arrival of His Royal Highness the Eleventh Royal Highness caused the audience to stand up and cheer, shouting like a tsunami of "Long live the Empire, Long live His Majesty the Emperor...Long live!", cheers came and went.

In the Tang Empire

His Majesty the Emperor possesses high prestige, is a holy king respected by all people, a wise and mighty figure like a land god, and is widely loved by his subjects.

His Highness Tang Li Xin waved in response enthusiastically, and then, surrounded by officials from the Sports Department and the Professional Baseball League Organizing Committee, entered the VIP private room to watch the game.

Thanks to his parents' good genes and never lacking in nutrition from meat, eggs and milk, His Highness Tang Lixin is 1.91 meters tall, tall and strong. He has always liked sports and is also a good baseball pitcher.

He knew the main pitchers and bats of the Chang'an Oriental Cavalry and the Chicago Conquerors in the finals. After sitting in the box, he waited for the game to start with great anticipation.

His Royal Highness currently serves as the Director of the League Organization Department of the Ministry of Sports, and holds important positions such as the Honorary Chairman of the University of California, the Honorary Chairman of the University of Chicago, the Chairman of the Royal Changan Bank, and the Chairman of the Royal Changan Petroleum Company.

There are part-time jobs and practical jobs, which are intended to train their abilities.

Just at the beginning of this year

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, Duke of the North, retired with the rank of colonel and accepted arrangements to work in the industrial and cultural and sports fields. In particular, the Royal Chang'an Bank, as one of the eight major consortiums in the empire, and the Royal Datang Telegraph Company, as one of the three giants in the telecommunications industry, are all

He is the actual chairman of the board.

After all, he is the third heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty. The bank and telegraph office he inherited are both heavyweight enterprises. Whether they can run them well will test His Highness' ability.

The 15 adult princes have all been assigned different positions according to their preferences.

When His Majesty the Emperor was admonishing the princes, he once said sternly;

"I don't want to be left to die, and the same goes for all the princes. The Royal Secretariat will evaluate each of you. I hope you will live up to my expectations and work hard. Dear sages, far away from villains,

Never hope to cultivate your moral character at all times, and be a role model for all people.

Anyone who damages the dignity of the royal family will be severely punished by me, so please don’t make the mistake!"

Nowadays, from the eldest son of the emperor to the thirty-seventh son of the emperor who is just babbling, everyone is afraid of His Majesty the Emperor like a tiger, and they never dare to go against the holy will and act recklessly. That is really a big death!

Look at how powerful your Majesty is now. He is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is not surprising that there are twenty or thirty princes. Why do you feel bad if you punish a few severely?

Previously, the second child and the fourteenth child had been severely warned because of their greed for money and excessive lewdness. If they violated it again, they might be permanently imprisoned by the emperor's decree or by the clan's government, and their lives would be over.

Therefore, most of the princes in the royal family are diligent and studious.

It's not that they want to, but there is a strict father who is supervising them all the time, just like someone is whipping them from behind, and they can't slack off for a moment.

His Royal Highness took a sip from the ice-cold French sparkling champagne and said enthusiastically to the accompanying Vice Minister of Sports Zhu Baocheng: "Brother Baocheng, today's finals are a battle between dragons and tigers! Which side do you think will win the final victory?"

"

"Your Highness, aren't you asking questions knowingly? We baseball fans in Chang'an City must all support the Oriental Hussars. After all, they are our hometown team! Naturally, I am no exception."

"Hahaha... It seems that the heroes have the same idea!"

"To be honest, Your Highness, the Chicago Conquerors are indeed very strong. From star pitchers to power bats, there is almost no weak player in every position. It is very difficult for the Oriental Hussars to win!" Zhu Baocheng is a veteran baseball fan.

Nature is like a treasure, he raised his finger and said;

"Look...

The star pitchers of the Chicago Conquerors include the ghost pitcher Hu Abao and the Qibao shooting star Zhang Quan. The first, second, third base and outfielders are all well-known players. There are almost no weaknesses in the entire team.

As for the left fielder, due to the existence of "eight steps to catch cicadas" Yang Fanyun, the ball hit by force will almost always be confiscated, which is very tough!

This person hit 40 home runs in both the domestic baseball league last year and this year. In addition to his excellent fielding ability, he also has outstanding long-hitting ability.

in the semifinals

"Eight steps to catch the cicada" Yang Fanyun performed a good show of assisting the home plate in the outfield, helping the team eliminate the New York Rangers by a narrow margin. He is a powerful figure that cannot be underestimated.

If they want to break out from these strong opponents, the Chang'an Dongfang Hussars must show their true abilities. I guess this will definitely be a stalemate game, and it is likely to create a classic game."

"Hahaha... With an expert like you by my side, I won't be lonely watching football." His Highness Tang Li Xin laughed when he heard this.

He likes entertainment and sports, an industry where you can make money with a smile. In recent years, the craze of leagues has become more and more obvious in boosting the economy, generating huge profits.

Take this North American Baseball League as an example. It has a very obvious economic boosting effect on Mexico City, increasing tax revenue by at least several million.

During the game

Nearly 220,000 fans came from all over North America. These are groups with considerable spending power. They have set the hotel and catering industry in Mexico City on fire. House prices have generally tripled to quadruple, and there are many private houses for rent. .

This alone, during the four-week competition, increased revenue by six to seven million.

In addition, catering, teahouses, taverns, gambling stalls, prostitution, and the alcohol and food industries all benefited. The total revenue was more than 13 million yuan, which is an astonishing total.

It is said that highly excited fans, whether after winning or losing, must find a girl to vent their anger. There is almost no idle day during the game.

Do the math

Such a fan, who even eats and drinks and has fun, how much does he need to contribute during the game?

During the league period, the four venues were in continuous operation. After dozens of games, the ticket sales alone reached more than 2.8 million yuan. Coupled with the beer drinks and snacks in the stadium, the total revenue was close to 4 million yuan.

Based on a 25% tax rate, Mexico City will have to increase tax revenue by four to five million yuan, which can be said to be a windfall.

After a successful league is held, the local government, event organizers, venue owners, participating clubs and fans are all winners, and everyone is happy.

The Ministry of Sports and local governments have gained political achievements and tax revenue, event organizers, stadiums and participating clubs have gained economic benefits and fame, and fans have gained great joy and satisfaction.

How can we not promote such a good thing?

"Your Highness, the players have entered the field."

There was a wave of cheers in the stadium. Vice Minister Zhu Baocheng quickly reminded His Royal Highness Eleven who was a little distracted. His eyes followed the movements of the players on the stadium, full of excitement.

For a true football fan, what's more exciting than a game?

The answer is; two games or more.
