Chapter 729: Making Money, Saving Doesn't Count

Andy's plan for Dodge Stadium is to see Bernau in the United States, and look at Bernau Stadium in Real Madrid, which is not just a stadium, but an all-in-one Madrid tourist area featuring the Real Madrid Club.

While the Dodgers are located in the outskirts of the city, the transportation is convenient, so long as it builds enough appeal, many fans will choose to come and play in the afternoon, shop, eat, watch the ball at night, the cost is definitely greater than the cost of watching the ball itself, you can imagine the consumption pull of various nearby business places.

In addition to the direct pull on consumption, the popularity of this area has been greatly facilitated by the opening up of visibility.

Andy's right to be named at Dodge Stadium has been a sickness, Nima, and the big league sponsor is a contract negotiated with the big leagues, leaving very little room for the team to sign the contract alone, and even the broadcast contract will be tightly controlled by the big leagues, bypassing the big leagues and negotiating, which simply won't work, and will be vetoed on a piece of paper.

All major league team baseball caps come from manufacturer NewEra, designated as Budweiser beer, drinks as Gatorade and 24 other sponsors, nothing at all about the team.

Major League baseball leagues only divide 27% of total league revenue equally among 30 teams, so for baseball teams, expanding the business model beyond the field will boost revenue.

Good thing the Dodgers hold a couple of good cards. First, they have TV broadcast rights. After all, this is Los Angeles, and the Dodgers are the only famous team with market value after the New York Yankees. Second, they still have an unfinished title to the stadium, and third, they are available to an officially designated airline sponsor.

So when the crowd sat in the conference room, Andy said the three ways to pay, everyone fell into a brief silence. Except for the fact that the title to the stadium was not new, but the Dodgers were absolutely subversive of tradition, the other two had partners, and the fool could hear it, the big boss is whether or not it's a reasonable breach of contract.

Operating Director Martin Lee doesn't care if he comes out and impresses the boss more, as he has already shown his face once in previous market planning.

“FOX's broadcast contract is still good overall, 80 million a year is also the highest broadcast contract in the league, even more profitable than Yankees' own TV network, and we are not negotiating very well, FOX is even willing to sell us two sports stations.

As for the sponsorship of the designated airline, the sponsorship contract for Southwest Airlines can be considered. After all, there are only 3 million sponsorship fees. For the current Dodgers, it is really not a good price. Knowing that the attention you bring to the Dodgers by the boss is no longer just in the game and on the field, you can consider reinvestigating. ”

Granada, the current manager of the team, had a deep glance at Martin Lee and nodded in agreement: “These are strengths, but the most important thing is the team's grades, and only if the grades get better will our fans walk into the field and the sponsors come. ”

Andy squinted his eyes, reached out and touched his chin for a moment and said: “I don't care about the team, the team's finances have been straightened out for a long time, there's enough money, people need it to buy it, those useless players get out and do a nice job for me, I don't want people to go away and pay them back! ”

He also knew that this giant pit existed in the baseball world, often with money to keep players traded away, just to vacate their seats.

“Martin, you're in charge of forming an expansion team to take care of the next development issues, okay, let's just close the meeting, Granada, you stay...” Andy looked at the discussions, and the meeting was over.

When the only people left in the conference room were Andy and Granada, Andy said, "What do you think of Martin? ”

“He is a loyal Dodge employee who has been working here for seven years. Although there were no great places before, there were no mistakes. I didn't expect to be very surprised today.” Grana reached the point where he didn't intentionally crack down on Martin, because he was so busy that all he had to do was run a sports investment company, not a single baseball team, and it was nice to see someone help him share, and he flew back and forth to negotiate, and wanted to be able to split up.

“Then let him be the deputy manager, in charge of marketing and expansion, and your current deputy general manager of the management team, who will complement each other, and you will also be the manager to see who is better and who will take your place.” Andy, this is about hanging bones and letting his men break the rhythm of his head, which, of course, makes his men perform desperately and create value, which is most enjoyable to his boss.

“By the way, how was the negotiations with Houston City? I haven't read today's briefing, so just say it.” Andy continued to ask.

“They are willing to close the Toyota Center deal for $100 million, while the ten-year title to the stadium and Toyota Company will remain open until such time as the profit from the title is not discussed otherwise. ”

After Andy heard it, he basically understood that the $5 million more than the $235 million cost of the stadium, and the $100 million of Toyota's 10-year title fee he ate, was directly converted into the acquisition cost, which is pretty good overall, but it still needs to be voted through the city council.

Though Andy is very upset about fulfilling Toyota's name contract, 10 million a year is not the highest in the league, but it is also fourth in rank, acceptable, and six years away. He won't be accustomed to calling the public and fans to change their names. As long as he can increase profits, time will get used to it.

“Then go into the acquisition process, you sit in the town of Houston, remove the city council obstacle, and call me anytime you run into trouble.” Andy had nothing to worry about when the toughest city council would come to pass, after all, they had the Smith family roots in Texas, and of course, they didn't rule anything out, as long as they got a few votes.

“By the way, let the rocket team go to the capital city in Heaven Dynasty and the devil get a separate office, dig deep into the rocket team sponsors, such as basketball racks, some booths in the gym, the back of seats in the stadium, whatever can be used to recruit. ”

Granada's face was squeamish after listening, and Andy pulled out the back advertisement on the Sky Dynasty bus and squeezed out the advertiser's behavior, refreshed the foreign festivities directly, can he still play like this?

“This... No manufacturer would buy ads for this location, right? ”

Andy turned a white eye and said to Granada, who questioned him, "Tian Dynasty manufacturers will definitely compete for these advertising slots, not too cheap... ”

Andy leaves Dodge Stadium with his assistants and bodyguards, leaving Granada with a question mark and exclamation mark, "Cough, basketball rack advertising subdistrict for takeout... ”

Andy doesn't care about money saving stuff like this for a long time, it brings profits, it makes money, it wants shit, it laughs poor, it doesn't laugh chang, it's the comfort of making money that counts, it's the warmth and self-awareness!

Boss, where are we going? ”Tory Blake stood up slightly and pulled his black tight tun skirt off, making it easier for the Great Demon King to enjoy the black si long tui without forgetting to ask softly.

“Well, go to the copyright company and see what the fat fuck is doing.” Andy leaned back against the pillow and caressed the smooth silk wa mi ~ tui with his hands, listening to the briefings Tory had read, the big master's pie was the one he enjoyed the most.

“Nomura Securities, the largest securities dealer in Football, announced a loss of $620 million for the quarter. According to an analysis by Think Tank Unity Market News, Merrill Lin, the world's top securities dealer, is very pessimistic about the upcoming third quarter of 2007 financial results, and the analysis says the amount of the loss will reach an alarming figure. ”

“Hey... These people, it's not worth sympathy at all. The subprime mortgage market has obviously collapsed, and all the major stock markets around the world have taught them a * * lesson. In September and October, they struggled to die and returned to the light. Instead, they made this group worse. It's a sin to live, so wait and see! ”

Andy listened to Tory's readings and sighed, and some of them were like, well, the scar forgot the pain, and even if they broke their mouth, they didn't listen, they'd jump into the pit. In September, October, the stock market and the building market had a dramatic bottom bounce, causing many to forget the previous Thursday tremor, throwing the crisis impact of subprime loans behind their heads long ago, even the US government and rating agencies were questioning the real dangers and severity of the subprime mortgage crisis, and there was a huge disagreement over the perception of the subprime mortgage crisis, and Andy's newspaper warned more than once, but still couldn't resist most people to continue to die and push the stock market higher.

In October, the US stock market was pushed upside down to 14198 points, and the Pacific sky stock market was pushed up to 6124 points, which is irrational madness!

In that case, go to hell!
