The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 475
The ABA championship has been announced, but it’s a pity that this finals has nothing to do with Xiangjiang. The Xinjian team just stopped in the semifinals of the North District. The Japanese Fuji team even swept the Sin Chew Hong Leong team with a big score of 4:0. From this, we can also see the current gap between the North and South regions of the ABA League.

Chen Zhiyong presented the Fuji team with the league's first championship trophy and the first finals MVP at the Fuji team's home stadium Tokyo Nissan Sports Center.

Generally speaking, the first season of the ABA was relatively successful, perhaps because there are still relatively few entertainment projects, or because of the strong national sentiments in various regions, or because each team's home games are in central cities. , There are quite a lot of spectators who come to the live basketball. Entering the playoffs, the stadiums are full of seats. Generally speaking, all major clubs have made money this season.

Although Li Jianhui doesn't pay much attention to PFLA games, but through the situation of his own club, he knows that there is also a small profit here.

At the 23rd meeting between the ABA management and the team and club managers, the parties negotiated again on the specific distribution of the profits earned by the league.

Especially with regard to the live broadcast and rebroadcast fees of major media, as well as the profits earned by the alliance and cooperation with major companies.

You must know that the major clubs only earn tickets and venue advertising fees. The cost of media live broadcast and cooperation between enterprises and the league is in the hands of the league and is not controlled by them.

Only after the end of each league, will the league distribute according to the record of each team. The better the score, the more points will naturally be given.

But there is a guarantee for the lower-ranked teams, and try to prevent these teams from being unable to maintain operations due to financial problems.

Originally, the distribution model was negotiated when the league was established, but at that time, everyone didn't think how much money the league could make, so they didn't care about it.

But now that the league is over, apart from staff salaries and various expenses, as well as some funds reserved to keep the league running, there is still nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars for distribution.

You must know that this is only the first season. With the development of the league, the influence will continue to increase, and the benefits obtained in the future will continue to rise. At this time, everyone is thinking about their allocation.

The biggest complaints this time are the Japanese clubs. They have the largest market and bring the most benefits to the league. The records of several teams are also at the forefront of the league. They are obviously not satisfied with only getting the current distribution of benefits.

It's a pity that this request was jointly opposed by the general managers of many clubs, and the reasons are quite good. Since the rules have been set at the beginning, they should be implemented in accordance with them and cannot be changed at will.

As for Fuji, Mitsubishi and other clubs mentioning that their home media live broadcast expenses are directly owned by the club, they were immediately rejected by the league management.

The reason why this was placed under the management of the league headquarters at the beginning was to distribute the income in this area to each team relatively reasonably, so as to prevent teams with poor records from being unable to operate normally.

However, considering the Japanese market, and the general managers of several major clubs in Japan even threatened to withdraw from the league, and also did not want any club to run the team unintentionally and just plan to lay down and share the money, in the end all parties also made certain concessions.

Starting from the next season, the distribution income of those with the highest record will increase by a few points. Correspondingly, if the record is too poor, the distribution income will be reduced. If the club does not want to lose money, it needs to find a way to improve the team's record. .

After the negotiation on distribution, the charter king said: "The success of the league is inseparable from our vast market. With the experience of the first season, we should also take advantage of the victory to enter more markets while expanding our army."

Seeing that this league has a good prospect, Japan has long wanted to increase the number of clubs on its side. When the charter king mentioned it, he immediately echoed it.

As a Japanese executive of the ABA, Tagawa Jiro said: "We have a market of more than [-] million people in Japan, and there are many cities with a population of more than one million in urban areas. A win-win situation locally.

I personally suggest that the Japanese market add two more clubs next season to see the effect. If the effect is good, the number will continue to increase in subsequent seasons. "

Li Jianhui, the honorary chairman of the ABA, also attended the meeting. He naturally knew what Japan and the charter king were thinking.

Japan obviously hopes to expand its influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia by adding clubs.

Especially this time, both the ABA and PFLA championships were won by Japanese clubs, which also inflated their national vanity.

As for the Chartered Ship King, Li Jianhui hoped to bring the North in as soon as he heard his tone.

"Everyone, I know that your proposal is also for the better development of the league. It's just that our league now has [-] teams. The most important thing now is to improve the strength of each team and make the game more exciting, not blindly. to pursue the number of teams.

I think that in the next three to five years, our league will have to work hard on our internal strengths so that our league's competitive level can reach world-class or even the top before considering whether to expand the army. "

Chen Zhiyong's remarks gained a lot of support, especially the general managers of clubs in Baodao and Southeast Asia. They are not willing to join a new team to share the money.

Especially on the Japanese side, its domestic sports strength is relatively strong. If a few more clubs come in, the league funds that these clubs can get will become less.

The charter king is obviously unwilling to see such a result. You must know that the North has been hoping to promote exchanges and cooperation with other countries in the past few years.

These two major leagues are a very good platform, especially there are already clubs from Xiangjiang, Lisboa, and Baodao in this league. If there are clubs from the north joining, the competition will definitely be a highlight.

Especially if the northern team plays at home in Formosa, or if the Formosa team plays at home in the north, this will promote the development of cross-strait relations.

It's a pity that his voice alone is too quiet, and the general managers of several clubs in Baodao have clearly expressed their opposition, so this matter can only be shelved temporarily.

At the same time, the venue for the ABA Summer League was also determined at the meeting. After several communications, Lisboa was chosen as the venue this year, and the time is from July 7th to July 6th.

下赛季季前赛和常规赛时间也定了下来，10月5号开始季前赛，11月3号正式进入常规赛，明年4月25号常规赛收战。

The Lantern Festival has also been decided. On the Lantern Festival next year, Tokyo Fuji will host Sin Chew Hong Leong, Xiangjiang Xinjian will host Samsung, Taipei Datong will host Mitsubishi, and Seoul Hyundai will host Hong Kong Kowloon. Nanyi team will host Chiang Mai Shinawatra, Bangkok Red Bulls will host Taichung Lukang, Kuala Lumpur Sunway will host Busan Hanjin, and Jakarta Lippo will host Japan's Sumitomo.

The areas covered by the league, except for Lisboa, have been covered in its political center cities, and they have not lost sight of one another because of the strength of the economy.

Although some countries do not celebrate the Lantern Festival, the influence of Chinese traditional culture in the ABA league coverage area is still very large. Although the Lantern Festival was mentioned by Li Jianhui, the support for it still accounts for the vast majority.

In time, the influence of the ABA Lantern Festival will not be lower than that of the NBA's Christmas game.
