The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 629 Alliance Expansion
On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, Li Jianhui came to the ABA headquarters to attend the ABA management and club shareholder representative meeting held by Chen Zhiyong.

Since the official operation of the league, it is now the third season, and the development of the league has been considered on the right track. At present, the NBA may be able to suppress the ABA.

This is still talking about the strength of the players in the league. If it really compares to fame, in Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, the ABA is undoubtedly the undisputed number one in the basketball league. The NBA's reputation here is far from being comparable to it.

This has also led to considerable profits for major clubs due to tickets, stadium advertising fees, media live broadcast fees, etc.

Since ancient times, the interests have moved people's hearts, especially in the huge Japanese market, there are only four clubs, which can't even be compared with South Korea. How could the major Japanese conglomerates be reconciled.

After entering 1984, representatives of many Japanese clubs and the Japanese management of ABA once again proposed to the league to expand its army.

In addition, the charter king who lost the Kowloon Basketball Club also applied on behalf of the North, hoping that the North Basketball Club can also join this league, and in this regard, it has also obtained the support of Japanese management and club representatives.

This period can be said to be the honeymoon period between the north and Japan. If Xiangjiang Capital ranked first in entering the northern market, then Japanese capital definitely ranked second.

This time Japan supports the charter king proposal, obviously hoping to increase its influence in the north. You must know that the current four club teams in Japan are all ABA strong teams, and the current two champion teams are Mitsubishi and Fuji.

However, it is not without objections, especially the club representatives from South Korea and Taiwan, who believe that the current [-] teams are quite reasonable, and the scale is too large to be conducive to the development of the league.

As the honorary chairman of the ABA, Li Jianhui said: "I also know that many representatives hope to expand the influence of their players in the north, so that their products can open up the northern market.

But we are currently facing several complicated issues. If we do not resolve them, we may face some difficulties. You should be very clear about the current relationship between the North, Baodao and South Korea.

Therefore, we must fully respect the wishes of all parties and avoid affecting the stability of the league. I support the expansion of the army, but we must avoid things that may not be conducive to the development of our league.

I suggest that Mr. Chen Zhiyong, Mr. Bao Yugang, Mr. Gu Zhenfu, and Li Jianxi promote the three parties to reach a relatively friendly agreement for our ABA. At least these club members will not be hindered from going to the opponent's home game.

We currently have [-] teams. If the communication is smooth, we can add six teams next season, including two in the Japanese market, one in Baodao, two in the northern market, and one in Indonesia. "

For Li Jianhui's proposal, there are supporters and quite a few who oppose it. The Japanese representative is very happy about this. With two quotas, this time two other consortiums can also join in. At that time, the six major consortiums, each under the consortium There is a club.

As a special guest of the ABA League, the charter king is also satisfied. As long as the communication is smooth, the North can also join it, which can not only train the players in the North, but also provide assistance for the opening of the North.

The other representatives are not very happy. Adding six teams means that six more teams will need to share money.

In particular, several clubs in Japan are already strong and have more money to share. Now that two more teams have been added, the share of these clubs will inevitably decrease again.

Representatives of various clubs in Southeast Asia spoke one after another, all supporting the northern basketball club to join the ABA, but expressing opposition to the addition of two clubs in the Japanese market.

The Japanese representatives were not happy when they heard this, and Yasuda said: "Everyone, Japan is currently the largest market for the ABA, and we should have a number of clubs that match the market.

If you only want to make money from our market and are not willing to give us equal status, then sorry, we will not accompany you.

Not only will several of our major clubs withdraw from the ABA, but our market will also close the door to the ABA. "

Those present were naturally aware of the situation here, and upon hearing Yasuda's threat, the voice of opposition immediately weakened.

The parties finally quarreled and came up with a five-year military expansion plan for the league. After five years, the number of league teams will reach 42, and four more teams will be added next season. , Surabaya, Indonesia.

The competition area will also be re-divided. Next season, the Xiangjiang Xinjian team will also become the southern competition area.

The competition system has also changed. The regular season and the teams in other divisions will play one game each for home and away, and the two games for each team in the same division will be changed to three games for teams in the same division. 48 home courts.

That is, next season, each team will have 82 regular season games, which is four games less than the 86 games in these seasons.

As the subsequent teams increase, the competition system will also be adjusted. Once the 42 teams are in order, the regular season will be home and away, and the regular season will be 82 games.

In this way, too many games will cause the players to be too tired, and it can also reduce the risk of player injuries.

In addition, considering that the communication between the North, Taiwan, and South Korea may not be smooth, they also came up with an alternative plan, that is, the Shanghai team can borrow the Xinyi Pavilion for the match between the Shanghai team and the Korean and Formosa teams, and even for the playoffs. The home stadium of the Xinjian team means that the Xiangjiang Xinyi Pavilion may become the second home stadium of the Shanghai team next season.

This is also the best plan Charter King can come up with at present. The first club in the north is mainly invested by Charter King, and the team is named after Xianghua.

Lin Tingsheng invested in the establishment of the Datong Basketball Club, whose home court was in Taoyuan, the Japanese Sanhe Foundation established the Sanhe Basketball Club, whose home court was in Kyoto, and Xie Jianlong established the Hualong Basketball Club, whose home court was in Surabaya, Indonesia.

As for the next season, there are two tentatively scheduled, one is Yangcheng in the north, and the other is Yokohama, Japan.

Not only the Japanese representatives want to use this to expand their influence in the north, Li Jianhui also hopes to expand the influence of Xianghua Association in the north through the ABA.

In the past five years, the ABA has expanded 12 basketball clubs, six of which are for the north. In addition to Shanghai and Yangcheng, there are also Jinmen, Jinling, Jingcheng, and Yuzhou in the plan.

As long as the north is brought in, the products of Hongyu Apparel Group will have an advantage in the northern sports and sports and leisure apparel market.

At the end of the meeting, the Chartered Ship King deliberately approached Li Jianhui, hoping that Li Jianhui would personally come forward regarding the communication between ABA North and Baodao.

The door to the north has been open all the time, and the main problem is still in Baodao. At present, Li Jianhui has much more influence on the president than they do.

With Li Jianhui as the lobbyist, the chances of the president being willing to let go of this aspect are much higher.

Li Jianhui did not postpone this either. He will lead a number of high-level executives from the Xinjian Department to Baodao in the near future, and will visit the president in person. Liu will communicate with the president face to face.

In addition, Li Jianhui is also preparing to communicate with the president about the issue of cross-strait airlines, especially since many coastal cities in the north are currently open to the outside world. If they can be connected directly, it will reduce a lot of costs for Xinjian companies, and it will also promote the further development of Xiangjiang Airlines and Huangpu Shipping.

"Li Sheng, Huo Sheng and I are already old, and the future of the three places on both sides of the strait depends on your younger generation after all. I also hope that Li Sheng will not let down what your uncle, second uncle, aunt, and even your father desperately guarded. "
