Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1526 Southeast Asia is the back garden

The entire Southeast Asia, including the Hong Kong government, is the backyard of the Premier League. This is a place in the world whose broadcast revenue is second only to that of the UK.

In this area, almost no other European leagues are broadcast, mainly the Premier League, and among the 20 teams in the Premier League, Manchester United is of course the most popular!

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least 6000 million Manchester United fans here.

And 3000 million Arsenal fans.

The remaining 2000-3000 million is the other 18 Premier League teams.

Because this place is so important, after the establishment of the Manchester United commercial company, it set up a commercial office in Singapore, and hired Mr. Mill Thompson, the deputy director of the local sports station in charge of business, and asked him to be in charge of the Asia-Pacific region. President, come to directly manage this area.

This is San Dezi's suggestion and also Zhou Buqi's idea.

You should know that in pure English-speaking countries such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada, Manchester United does not have a dedicated regional president to manage them.

It can be seen how important this area is.

Zhou Buqi hadn't met Mill Thompson yet, so he went to Singapore first and listened to his report.The performance is very good. The office was only established in July this year. So far, it has attracted 7 commercial sponsorships for Manchester United, which can increase Manchester United's commercial income by 28 million pounds every year.

Many sponsorships come and go, but they are necessary.

Such as hotel sponsorship.

This is not to advertise in the Manchester United club, but more a licensing agreement, such as hanging Manchester United's team logo and team flag in the hotel, as well as some photos of players, indicating that this hotel has hosted Manchester United, thereby increasing occupancy rates and attraction.

For example, a certain chewing gum wants to shoot an advertisement, and it is too expensive to invite players, so you can shoot an advertisement inside and outside Old Trafford, which is also considered an income for Manchester United.

There are also some big companies with ambitions for overseas business, because they don’t know enough about overseas markets, they don’t know how to promote them, what should they do?
A club with global influence like Manchester United is a good marketing resource. Going to Old Trafford to buy stadium billboards is very expensive. The value of a billboard in a single season can reach 120 million to 150 million pounds .

Mir Thompson has a wide range of contacts in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately his rank is too low, and he can't reach the big bosses of many big companies, so he can't negotiate bigger contracts.

For example, Flextronics, a giant company in Singapore, actually wants to cooperate with Manchester United to shoot a series of commercials to promote its business in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

This is a large order, with a total value likely to exceed $500 million per year.

Thompson came to visit several times, but he didn't even see the vice president. The marketing director below only said that the leader is still researching, go back and wait for news!

Depend on!
The most taboo thing about doing sales and advertising is to go back and wait for news, and you must take the initiative to attack.Only when we meet can we have a chance to persuade each other.

Otherwise, once the other party encounters a choice to do or not to do, they may give up.If you can find an opportunity to meet with the other party, chat a few words, express some sincerity of cooperation and a friendly attitude, when you can choose whether to do it or not, the other party may choose to do it.

Thompson's rank is not enough, Zhou Buqi is too much.Not to mention Flextronics, a Fortune 500 company, when he arrived in Singapore, the entire political and business circles in Singapore took action, and he was warmly welcomed!
The latest edition of the Forbes Global Billionaires List has been released.

Zhou Buqi is on the list!
Li Chaoren, who surpassed the Hong Kong government, is the richest Chinese man!
In the world rankings, it is second only to Bill Gates with a net worth of US$400 billion, Warren Buffett with a net worth of US$370 billion, and Carlos Helu with a net worth of US$350 billion, ranking the world with a net worth of US$245 billion. fourth!

He is the youngest among the top 500 richest people in the world.

The two founders of Google can be compared with them. They are ten years older than Zhou Buqi, and their net worth is about 120 billion US dollars.Together, the two of them are about the same size as Zhou Buqi.

To be honest, Zhou Buqi doesn't know how much money he has now, most of his properties are not listed, they are all valuations, and he doesn't know how "Forbes" magazine calculates.

Anyway, the influence is unprecedented.

Through the mobilization of the political circles in Singapore, a grand reception was held, and Zhou Buqi could judge that this was an attempt to attract investment!
People’s presidents and prime ministers all showed up for hospitality, and they were so sincere that Zhou Buqi couldn’t refuse, so he made a promise, saying that Ziweixing International, Ziweixing Global, Ziweixing Digital Media, and the Southeast Asian business headquarters including Manchester United, will be located in Singapore.The latest project to be launched is to build a super cloud computing service center in Singapore, which will radiate throughout Southeast Asia.

This was planned long ago.

Singapore is similar to the Hong Kong government in that it is a free port, a tax depression, and both have a strong financial system.

The rise of Singapore actually relies on Indonesia and Malaysia next door. These two countries have serious corruption and unstable internal affairs. Many officials’ dirty money and businessmen’s hard-earned money are deposited in Singapore’s banks for safety. .

Banks in Singapore, like Swiss banks, do not have a real-name system, which will protect depositors and help hide wealth.In this way, Singapore has retained a large amount of wealth of the two countries through the financial system for its own use, and then made a fortune quickly.

In Southeast Asia, where chaos is frequent, Singapore is the safest and most stable, with low tax rates.English is the official language, which is also convenient.

There are many benefits, and it is inevitable to locate the headquarters in Southeast Asia in Singapore.

The next day, I went to Malaysia again.

On the third day, I finally arrived at the main destination of the trip—Thailand, where I met the Xie family from Chia Tai Group.

It is said that when the Glazer family was in crisis last year, there was also a Thai consortium that bid for Manchester United at the same time as Zhou Buqi, led by the Chia Tai Group.

Because Manchester United's price was too high, coupled with Zhou Buqi's peace, the other party withdrew.

The Manchester United culture in Thailand is much stronger than in Singapore and Malaysia. There is only one kind of fans here, and that is Manchester United fans.Of the 28 sponsorship orders Thompson has drawn, 19 are from Thailand.

The largest shopping mall chain in Thailand is owned by Chia Tai Group. If the blind box self-service vending machines can be pushed into Xiejia's shopping mall, the market will basically open.

The Xie family is pure Chinese, and the younger generation can also speak Chinese, so the communication is smooth and very happy.

Then, Zhou Buqi can be regarded as truly seeing the life of a wealthy family.

It's really a group of wives and concubines.

There is no taboo.

The young girls in the family, Yingying and Yanyan, don't know who they belong to. Anyway, their status is not very high. Xie's family also said that if Zhou Buqi took a fancy to pick them casually, he refused repeatedly.

A guy from the fourth generation of the Xie family named Xie Zhouyu explained to him with a smile, saying that this is very normal in Thailand.Not to mention this kind of wealthy family, even an ordinary boy can find three or four wives.

Zhou Buqi had heard about it before, but he was still very curious, "Is it allowed by the law?"

Xie Zhouyu said: "Not allowed, the law was changed decades ago, it is monogamy. But no one will obey the law, and there is no way to obey it. Obeying the law will lead to chaos."

"why?"

"There are more women than men."

"Isn't it?"

Zhou Buqi was a little puzzled. Even many countries in Eastern Europe have recovered, and the number of men and women has gradually approached. Thailand has never heard of any serious turmoil.

Xie Zhouzhou laughed and said, "Let's see and see!"

The two are the same age and have a common language.Under the strong request of Xie's elders, more than [-] entourages were arranged for protection, and they secretly went to the local nightclub.

The scale is very large.

It's bigger than American strip clubs, and it's a live performance where you get XXX up directly on the stage.

The beautiful waitresses who shuttled back and forth to sell wine were all stunningly beautiful, but Xie Zhouzhou kindly reminded them not to look too much, they are all transvestites.

Zhou Buqi understood why there were more women than men, and all the fucking men became transvestites, so of course there were fewer of them!

Xie Zhouzhou said seriously: "There are not many transvestites, just a joke. The main reason is monks. Monks have a high status here and are raised by the state. Ordinary people will kneel down and pay homage when they see monks. Moreover, Being a monk is like serving in the military. All men have to have this experience in their lifetime. Now Thailand’s economy is not so good. Many men become monks when they become monks, and they like this kind of high life without worrying about food and clothing. For these two reasons, as long as he is a normal man in society and has a relatively stable job, even a street vendor can marry two more wives. If there are too many wives, he can’t afford to support them, and he can rent them out.”

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Why is it similar to Vietnam!"

"Is it also rented in Vietnam? I haven't heard of it."

"No, let's buy it. Many people in my hometown go to Vietnam to buy a daughter-in-law. The bride price is about 5000 US dollars."

"Well, it's cheaper than Thailand."

Thank you Universe for laughing.

He has been assigned a task by his family to be responsible for cooperating with Chaowan Commune.This cooperation process also includes advertising on TV stations.

Before coming, he made two phone calls.

In the middle of watching the show, two very beautiful and eye-catching girls came. Zhou Buqi didn't dare to look too much, because he couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

Xie Zhouzhou explained with a smile, saying that these two people are signed actors of Channel 7, one is Sha Chu and the other is Hana, both of them belong to him.He put his arms around Satru, 27, and pushed Hana, 17, over.

Zhou Buqi quickly said that he would not be rewarded for his merits, so there was no need.Then I briefly talked about the marketing method of the blind box. It is not the traditional way of advertising with celebrities, which is too low-end.Cooperate directly with the local Premier League broadcaster. When broadcasting Manchester United games, the commentator can broadcast the player's blind box. During the broadcast interval, the blind box can be dismantled and displayed on the spot.

This mode, the cost is lower, the effect is better.
