Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 159: Imagine the Football Industry

Although the game is not free of tickets, and the ticket price is not low, it is still welcomed by everyone.At the temporary ticket office, there was almost a fight, just to grab a few tickets.

The person in charge of the stadium was happy and helpless. I didn’t see so many people coming at ordinary times. His Majesty the King held a small game on a whim, and so many people flocked to it. It’s all because the venue is too small and the facilities are too backward, otherwise it can accommodate More people!

Although there were not many people on the hot island, the thousands of tickets were sold out quickly.

I dare not sell too many tickets because I am afraid of safety accidents caused by too many people.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two teams returned to the lounge first, took a rest, and then played when the game officially started.The next hour is the admission time for spectators.

Although no major football matches have been held yet, most people on Hot Island still have some understanding of the rules of the game.Therefore, when watching a football game, it is not difficult to understand the actions of the players and the judgment of the referee.

In this ball game, Ye Limo may be the shortest player, but he is definitely the most eye-catching player in the game. Who said that he is His Majesty the King who is loved by the people of the island?

"Your Majesty, you must win! Your Majesty, you must win!"

Although Ye Limo liked the sound of cheering for him, he was also afraid of being slapped in the face.

As the most watched player in the audience, Ye Limo didn't dare to lift his clothes to wipe his sweat. After scoring a goal, even if he was so happy that he wanted to roll on the ground, obviously he couldn't. As a king, he couldn't do such a bad thing. Ya move.

However, Ye Limo still had a great time playing this game. He didn't score a goal, but he assisted the goal, so the goal also has his share of credit.

The result of the game was as expected by many people. The team led by Ye Limo won and scored two more goals than Sullivan's team.

Some people thought it was because Sullivan's team didn't dare to let go of the game in front of His Majesty the King. It is etiquette to show His Majesty the face.And Ye Limo felt that it should be because he selected the best player.When he was selecting players, Sullivan gave a lot of pointers so that Ye Limo could choose the best players.The cooperation between the players and Ye Limo was mediocre, but the cooperation among themselves was pretty good.

After a game, Ye Limo felt very enjoyable. Although this game was much simpler than the modern ones, the wide stadium and the crowds in the stands made the atmosphere of the audience very warm and lively. The atmosphere of the regular game is gone.

The person in charge of the stadium didn't dare to neglect, so he took the money and the list to report to Ye Limo that night to see how much money he had made from the ticket sales.

The result surprised Ye Limo. Although the ticket price was not low, it sold very well.

"This ticket price is really beyond my expectation."

The person in charge of the stadium hurriedly said: "If the ticket price is not set higher, many people will grab tickets, or even grab several tickets, and then sell them to others at a higher price. This ticket price has a little purpose of driving away customers."

Ye Limo nodded. Although he felt that the ticket price was a bit high, but at that time there was only a few hours left for the game, and there was not so much time to set a reasonable ticket price.

Of course, this part of the money is taken from the people and used by the people. Ye Limo said: "At this time tomorrow, come see me again, and I will tell you how to spend the money."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King." The person in charge quickly saluted.

Originally, an official of his level would not be able to meet His Majesty the King in person. If it wasn’t for this competition, he would have never had the opportunity to listen to His Majesty’s teachings. Many people despise this job, and now he is showing his face in front of His Majesty the King. , It's time and fate!

Ye Limo divided this part of the money into several shares. One was a bonus for the stadium staff. This was an unexpected income for the stadium staff. Their remuneration was not high, and there was never any bonus. It was just after a game. They have worked a lot to maintain safety and order, so this is what they deserve.The second is for the restoration of the field. The turf of the football field needs to be maintained, which requires labor and materials, and the price is not cheap.If it weren't for the commercialization of football, it would be difficult to maintain such a large piece of turf with only amateur entertainment.The third part is used for the construction of the stadium to prepare for the construction of stands. Of course, this part of the money is far from enough, so we need to find ways to raise funds from other aspects in the future.

Ye Limo has been promoting football on the island for more than a year, and this is the first time the residents on the island have seen such a regular football game. This game can almost make everyone talk about it for half a year.

After arranging the money, Ye Limo looked at the bill for the income from the game, and his heart became active. Although the tickets for this game were collected on a whim, the income is not low.And it created a trend among the people.If we can promote this sport and make football profitable, it will be a gold mine!

Thinking of this, Ye Limo couldn't help getting excited, he thought it was a great idea.If the sport of football can be promoted and made profitable, he can consider promoting other sports as well.

The sports industry is a lucrative business. Of course, there will be dark parts in it, but relatively speaking, the value of the sports industry is even more desirable.

With such an idea, Ye Limo couldn't help sharing it with others, and the first thing that came to mind was of course Sullivan.

Ye Limo plans the development method and direction of his sports career according to the operation mode of modern commercial sports.

Sullivan listened with a smile. He did not expect that the two-day game gave Ye Limo so much inspiration.

Sullivan felt that Ye Limo's brain was the smartest in the world. It was as if there was nothing he didn't know. It was really amazing that such a smart person didn't show his face at all before.

After Ye Limo described it excitedly, he asked Sullivan: "How is it? What do you think of my thoughts?"

"Very good, Your Majesty, I think, in today's world, no one can think of such a good idea except you."

Ye Limo was a little embarrassed, and said, "It can't be said that I thought of it all, but I was inspired by others."

Sullivan still insisted: "Then you are also very good."

Ye Limo's heart fluttered and he was very happy.

"I think, a few months later, it will be National Day. Now we send out invitations for invitational tournaments to various countries. We have a few months to build and train teams. At that time, a large-scale ball game will be held in the stadium. I believe it will attract many people. People come to watch the game.”

Sullivan said: "In that case, it will cost a lot of money!"

Although in Sullivan's view, Ye Limo's ideas are always very novel and beautiful, but he has to consider the reality, the heat island is really not that rich.

Ye Limo said confidently: "Look, when the time comes to sell tickets and sell peripherals, you can earn back."

These days there are no TV sets and no Internet, so live broadcast and rebroadcast fees are gone, but tickets are required to watch the game. If the audience enthusiastically supports a certain player or team, selling merchandise can also make a lot of money!

Sullivan asked very cooperatively: "What is the periphery?"

Sullivan's question made Ye Limo more interested. He said: "Peripherals are things related to a work or an activity, such as a football game. There are imitation versions of football trophies and portraits of players around it. There are jerseys with the same number as the players, even shoes, hairstyles, decorations, etc. Different countries have their own national flags. Isn’t it very eye-catching to wave the national flags of the countries represented by the players on the court? Encouragement by the players? These can be considered peripherals. Peripherals are actually things that make these fans pay. Many people don’t care how much money they spend for the sake of their hearts.”

Sullivan nodded while listening, and said, "This method sounds really good."

"Of course!" Ye Limo was very proud. There are many models and rules formed after the operation of mature sports business, all of which have been tested in practice.Although in this world, the national conditions are different, the customs are different, and the cultures are different, but I believe that human nature is the same.

Sullivan said: "Your Majesty, you are really good. You can come up with such a good idea in one game. However, it is not easy to do this. It will take several months to build a stadium, right? Countries send out invitations, and it’s hard to say whether those countries will accept the invitation.”

After all, football is mainly popular in the heat islands, and other countries may not have much interest in this kind of sport.

Ye Limo said: "Don't forget, if I extend the invitation as a king, it will be a political activity, not a simple civil activity. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. What matters is the political significance of this activity. Let them It has to be taken seriously.”

Sullivan understood that it is obviously difficult to promote football in other countries without political support.After this event, the grand status of the competition will be spread, and football will be brought back to their own countries by participating countries. At that time, Ye Limo will follow the next plan to contact other business partners and establish a football club. Matches are held regularly, football is promoted, and once the number of fans is reached, the sport becomes a highly profitable project.

Moreover, Ye Limo believes that with the commercial drive, football will gradually be promoted to the whole world.Moreover, Ye Limo couldn't make this big cake of football by himself, and it would definitely require the cooperation of other people. It would be too much for one person to eat. If there is no one to form a competitive game, the charm of this sport will be greatly reduced.Therefore, it's not that Ye Limo doesn't want to eat alone food, but that he can't eat it. The consequence of wanting to eat alone food is that he can't eat anything.

After Sullivan asked a lot of questions, he got Ye Limo's answers. Sullivan thought it made sense, so he supported Ye Limo's approach even more.

The author has something to say: I feel that the plot is a bit procrastinated, I have to speed up...
