Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Second Businessman

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"Newspapers..." Xu Ang put aside a stack of today's newspapers on the table, and said with some emotion, "It's really retro."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;A person who is accustomed to using smartphones and computers to understand the world and pay attention to news and major events, let him switch back to reading newspapers and learn about news reports through traditional media, For a while, I was really not used to it.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Don't look at the advanced technology of the United States, it is the most powerful country on earth in this era, just think how advanced the American way of life is. In fact, Americans have a sense of tradition in many living habits.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;It's not that they really want to keep the traditions, there are new and convenient tools that they don't know how to use, but the country is divided in every way.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;As small as a pack of toilet paper, as large as the train, plane and other means of transportation, all are interests, and all are in the hands of large and small consortia.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;As a vested interest group, the consortium wants stability, because only stability will not produce variables, so that they and their descendants can be able to live even if they lie down Only when a steady stream of wealth flows into their pockets can their children and grandchildren enjoy a better life than others.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;In this respect, the United States is conservative.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;However, don’t think that the United States is unhappy to accept new things, if so, the United States will not become the most powerful country on earth.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Once they find out that something new can bring more benefits and allow them to enjoy more benefits, they accept it faster than anyone else.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; Take Xu Ang's tricks in the Clippers' first game of the season, of course, his approach is different from b's tradition , and it does make some old-fashioned people uncomfortable, but not everyone is dissatisfied with him.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"I have to admit, your ideas are very creative, Xu."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern came to visit Xu Ang's mansion in Beverly Hills. As the chairman of the alliance, he has many things to deal with every day, naturally he has nothing to do Climb the Three Treasures Hall.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; "But you have to understand that the league needs everyone to maintain, it is a whole, and all teams need to safeguard everyone's interests. Each has their own interests, and the end result is that no one can make any money.”

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern is talking, Xu Ang is listening.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;The speaker has the intention, but the listener has no intention.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; First up and down, and then come up with a so-called solution, play this with me?

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Not interrupting Stern was just polite, Xu Ang guessed that the purpose of Stern’s visit this time was not simple, but he wanted to see what Stern wanted to do Play.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;As expected, Stern went around in circles and then came to the point.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"Blind Box Company is a very good idea, I think it should not be limited to the puppets around the movie. Xu, since you thought of using fans to promote , you should also realize that fans are also a huge group."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"Since fans are a huge group, we have to formalize their needs."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Xu Ang asked suspiciously, "Mr. Stern, what do you want to say?"

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"I mean, this time I represent the alliance to propose cooperation to the blind box company. The blind box should be diversified, it can have puppets, and movie peripherals It can also have a jersey.”

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; Xu Ang raised his brows, good guy, seeing the profit, he immediately rushed forward.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; As a capitalist, he has an amazing sense of money.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;But, if you want Xu Ang to agree so easily, is this possible?

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;He told Stern: "I admit that the jersey does have the value of putting it in the blind box, and there are fans who are willing to take out the Franklin in their pockets to collect the jersey. But the one thing you overlooked, Mr. President, is that every team in the league has their own way of selling jerseys, and they don't seem to need my help."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern replied with a smile

: "Do you have any concerns? Are you worried about touching everyone's interests and being boycotted by other teams?"

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"That's right."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Xu Ang admitted it generously, and Stern did not sell anything, he immediately explained: "You don't have to worry, this doesn't actually affect, but it will affect everyone. favorable."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; making a gesture of invitation, Xu Ang motioned for Stern to continue.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;“In addition to tickets and broadcasting fees, a team’s revenue should count jerseys and other peripheral items. Although sneakers are very popular, they also have huge Profits, but unfortunately it is too professional, it requires too many resources, and the market has long been occupied, the league can do nothing about it.”

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;" Among the team's peripheral items, the sale of jerseys can undoubtedly bring a lot of money. I think you should also be aware that although a team has Among the more than ten players, only one or two star players can really sell. This is why the salary of star players is so high. They can earn almost as much as a marginal player on the same team in a year, but may not earn it in their entire career. wealth."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Drinking a sip of boiled water, Xu Ang asked, "So?"

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"So, if we put the jersey into the blind box, and then divide the profits of these blind boxes to the players, then can it alleviate some problems?"

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Xu Ang noticed Stern's wording, he said relief, not resolution.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; This shows that he actually knows in his heart that the salary of star players is too high, and the salary of marginal players is too low. Most of the problems that can only be mixed with a basic salary cannot be completely solved.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; "Mr. Chairman, do you want to increase the income of marginal players and alleviate the contradiction between the excessive income of the two sides?" Xu Ang thought about it and said, "It is indeed a way. "

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; Immediately, he raised a new question: "However, has the league thought about how to play it? For example, signature models, regular models and limited models, and even made into sets styles, who signs them, what percentage of each issue? And whether the players agree, especially the star players.”

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern spread his hands: "After the blind box with the jersey is sold, they have a revenue share, why would they refuse to make more money? If you I'm worried about this, but there's no need for that. I've already communicated with other teams, and they will come forward to negotiate with their players. Although everyone outside treats the league as a business field, even our own players say that, We know for ourselves that there is more than business in the league."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Xu Ang silently added two words to Stern's words.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;It’s not just about business, the reason why teams in the league want to join in is not for anything else, just because it can generate income and make their wallets change. more drums.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;As for the opinions of the players, especially the opinions of the star players, it can only be concluded that the small arm cannot twist the thigh.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Perhaps those star players don't care too much about this little increase in income, but the fringe players are different, and this revenue share is not a small amount for them.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern also said just now that there are more than a dozen players in a team, your star players are cattle, but one or two of you can ignore the team Everyone else's wishes?

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"Okay, Mr. Chairman. You have considered everything, and I can't find a reason not to accept it. I wish everyone a happy cooperation in advance."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;"It was a pleasure working together."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;Stern with a smile shook hands with Xu Ang, and he changed the conversation: "Then, let's talk about the licensing fee first. You have to Understand that the league has to do this job well, coordinate so many teams, and pay a lot."

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;It's not for profit, you old man.

&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b;&b; Xu Ang responded to Stern with a standard smile showing eight teeth: "Sir, you are really a businessman."
