Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 181 The Prospect of Dongchao

The East Super League is so powerful that many fans who are deeply disappointed in the CBA can't help being excited about it.

Just looking at the arena video disclosed on the official website of the Eastern Super League, it completely beats most teams in the world.

The brand-new modern arena is completely built according to NBA standards, even if the tickets are a bit more expensive, it is not worth it for everyone.

There has never been a shortage of ball markets in the country, but the players are too talented and do not have the level of competition in the NBA. This is the biggest original sin.

Also, some people insulted China in the NBA before. Although Yang Ma decided to rebroadcast it later, she also received a lot of criticism.

The original place of no turning back has also become a joke.

What is the reason?

It's not that the CBA is too hip, and it can't carry the basketball market vacated by the NBA ban.

If the Eastern Super League can be half as exciting as the NBA, it would not be impossible to squeeze out the NBA and monopolize the domestic market.

To be honest, sometimes, a ban on the above paper is enough to destroy decades of hard work in the NBA.

In the early years, the popular Korean dramas made many Korean stars come to China to make money.

At that time, domestic stars could only linger on, eating leftovers that other Korean stars didn't want.

If it weren't for a paper restricting Korea, how could these domestic stars have the glory.

According to the preliminarily negotiated distribution plan, the broadcast fee and the commercial sponsorship sought by the league, the 24 clubs will share [-]/[-] with the league.

In addition, 6% of the income from regular season home tickets and 45% of the after-tax profits from playoff ticket income need to be handed over to the league.

The league will use this money to issue field fees to teams participating in the playoffs, and reimburse travel expenses and subsidies to on-the-spot referees and competition area staff.

The ticket income here, in addition to the cost of the audience buying tickets, also includes parking fees, food and other expenses.

Even though the Eastern Super League has just been established, the sponsorship it has received is no worse than the NBA.

At a price of 10 billion U.S. dollars in 20 years, Hummel won the opportunity to OEM the trademarks of clothing and sneakers in the Eastern Super League.

In terms of rebroadcast fees, Shen Hao finally chose to ask Yuanmeng Film and Television to charge a higher price, so as to give the bosses confidence.

Yuanmeng Film and Television has obtained the exclusive global streaming rights of the Eastern Super League at a price of 10 billion U.S. dollars in 80 years.

Roughly estimated, just the broadcast fee + Hummel's commercial sponsorship income, the East Super League can earn 10 billion US dollars in revenue every year.

And for the 10 billion US dollars, the alliance will withhold half of it as management and marketing expenses.

The remaining US$5 million will be divided equally among the teams, which is also to take care of the football market in disadvantaged areas.

Taking 24 teams as an example, each team can earn 2000 million US dollars in revenue.

Compared with online streaming media copyright, TV broadcasting is the big one.

Moreover, the Eastern Super League has regulations that all advertising revenue in the arena belongs to the team itself.

This leaves teams pulling out all the stops to get the ad.

For example, the name of the arena, the billboards on the sidelines, etc., are also a lot of money.

What's more, the ticket income of the home stadium, because the arenas are located in quasi-first-tier cities, the ticket income will also be very considerable.

Similar to the new first-tier cities, the average ticket price is about 300, and the ticket price of some good front desk locations may exceed [-].

Not to mention the four first-tier cities.

If the average ticket price exceeds one thousand, it is a basic operation.

NBA-level arenas are so capricious.

Besides, there are many rich people in the four major first-tier cities, and they don't care about such a small amount of money. As long as the game is exciting, everyone is willing to spend money to support it.

There are currently 24 teams. According to Shen Hao's vision, in the first season, each team will play against other teams three times, that is, 69 games.

According to the ranking of the standings, 16 teams will enter the playoffs, and then fight against each other, and finally compete for the championship.

In the early days, Shen Hao wanted to create an alliance between the northwest and the southeast.

There are 12 cities in the Northwest Alliance, namely Chengdu, Xi'an, Chongqing, Wuhan, Changsha, Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Jinan, Qingdao, and Dalian.

There are also 12 cities in the Southeast Alliance, Shanghai, Shencheng, Yangcheng, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Wuxi, Foshan, Dongguan, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou.

After this grouping, the overall strength is relatively balanced.

The Northwest League, the Southeast League, and the overseas leagues that will expand later will make the game even more exciting.

As for many bosses who are worried about the quality of the game, Boss Shen is not worried at all.

The top talent recruitment volume provided by the system can also be set as a player.

It's just that the NBA was too restrictive in the past, and it was impossible to have a team with all Chinese players, so it would be a lot of fun.

Now to set up a league by himself, this is the best way to give full play to Shen Hao's advantages.

According to the system.

Top talent = NBA superstar (ability value 86~90)

Expert level talent = All-star player (ability value 80~85)

Elite talent = NBA weak team main force (ability value 75~79)

Even if it is the lowest elite level talent, with an ability value of 75, it is easy to be the main force in some weak teams.

Even in powerful teams like the Warriors and Celtics, they can be perfectly qualified as a substitute.

Kuminga in the Warriors, Belica's score is 75.

According to the 24 teams, it is guaranteed that the first five players are all elite talents, and a full 5 recruitment places are required.

Fortunately, the system quite recognized the Eastern Super League established by Shen Hao.

Referring to Shen Hao's net income of 30 billion US dollars in admission fees in the early stage, he will be rewarded with 3 top talent recruitment tickets.

As for Shen Hao's decision to let Yuanmeng Film and Television and Hummel broadcast and sponsor the proceeds, the East Super League can get 5 million US dollars in share every year, and this money will naturally flow into Boss Shen's pocket.

Shen Hao didn't have a lot of inventory for top talent recruitment rolls, and almost all of them were used to replenish talents for Jian Jia's R&D team.

Fortunately, Jianjia’s B-round financing has seen its valuation soar to 300 billion U.S. dollars, a 100-fold increase from the A-round’s 3 billion U.S. dollars, and it also brought him 20 top talent recruitment papers.

With 25 top-level talent recruitment rolls in hand, if Mr. Shen gritted his teeth, he could exchange for five perfect-level talents, all of whom were monsters at the level of Jordan and Chamberlain.

At that time, Dongchao still has no ratings?
But just thinking about it, Shen Hao is reluctant to give his precious talent to others.

Moreover, if you really let your team gather five perfect-level talents, it would not be too boring.

Fans not only like the brilliance of winning the championship, but also the persistence of staying alone in a city can also move countless fans.

The salary cap of the Eastern Super League is set at 50% of the league's revenue in the previous year, and then dividing this revenue by the current number of teams is the salary cap of each team. If the salary cap exceeds the salary cap, the luxury tax will be paid.

This is also to avoid a situation where the strong will always be strong.

After all, it is a start-up league, and the luxury tax is not an issue that everyone is currently considering.

At present, the revenue of the Eastern Super League is 10 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to the dividends distributed by the league to each team, which is the salary cap of each team.

The salary cap for the first season is currently tentatively set at 2000 million US dollars, which is definitely incomparable with the NBA.

The poor line setting standard is 90% of the salary cap, which is also to prevent a single team from being too strong and affecting the overall commercial value of the league.

The start-up league does not need to be as detailed as the NBA's rules and regulations.

If you play early, you will definitely spend money.

Otherwise, where did the ratings come from?

The salary cap of 2000 million US dollars is not enough for the annual salary of an NBA All-Star player.

But compared to the CBA team's salary cap of 600 million US dollars, it has exceeded three times!
When the news came out, the eyes of countless CBA players turned red instantly.

The establishment of Dongchao must be very short of talents. Don't they have a chance to make a lot of money?
The CBA is not a vegetarian either, and immediately took countermeasures to restrict the transfer of signed players.

Except for free agents, there is really no way.

Otherwise, they can only transfer within the league, and will never be allowed to transfer to the East Super League.

The bosses of the CBA can't see that the Eastern Super League is competing with them for the market, so naturally they share the same hatred.

Shen Hao didn't care much when he heard Matt's report.

The past two days of filming are too tiring, so I take a break occasionally to listen to Matt's progress.

Apart from Shanghai, Shencheng, Yangcheng, Chongqing, and Qingdao all have NBA-standard arenas, the owners of other cities all choose to purchase an NBA-level arena.

The unit price is 5 million U.S. dollars, and the geographical location is superior. The high-definition LED screens in the venue, 18000 seats, dozens of boxes of different sizes, thousands of parking spaces, and peripheral merchandise stores, do not lose to those NBA arenas.

Expensive is a bit expensive, but worth the money.

The arena is theirs, so even if they don't want to run the team in the future and sell it, it's not too bad a loss.

For most cities, these arenas are almost all landmarks.

As each team either purchases the arena provided by Shen Hao or rents a arena that meets the standard, they are also busy recruiting professionals in the corresponding field.

A professional team is more than just players.

Coaches, trainers, masseurs, team doctors, and even nutritionists are all indispensable.

Player salaries will account for most of a team's revenue, almost 60%.

The transportation, accommodation, food, and expenses to go to the away game are not small.

The distance between cities ranges from far to near. The time interval between regular season games is usually one or two days. Players must provide a very good rest space on the way to the away game.

Every team needs to sign a contract with an airline for special planes and exclusive services, and the cost in this area is around 100 million US dollars.

Players who go to away games also need to sign a contract with a local five-star hotel. Each time they need more than 40 rooms, and the accommodation alone costs 50 US dollars per year.

The coaching staff should have around 10 members, including a head coach, 5 assistant coaches (defensive coaches, shooting coaches, etc.), and 3 physical trainers.

A team's coaching team costs at least $400 million a year.

Unless there is a profit in advertising, every team will face a lot of losses.

Moreover, the owners of each team need to submit the name of the new team as soon as possible and submit it to the league for approval.

In principle, the name of your own company cannot appear.

For example, the Hangzhou Taobao team is definitely not acceptable.

Similar to dragons, polar bears, eagles, and South China tigers, they are all fine.

Wanda moved the fastest. The name submitted was Dalian Siberian Tiger Club, and the logo was a ferocious descending tiger.

Wanda itself is located in the northeast, so there is nothing wrong with the name.

Moreover, the Siberian Tiger can also serve as the mascot of their team, killing two birds with one stone.

Shen Hao didn't think too much about the capital he occupied, and directly named it the Capital Dragon Club.

The capital is the place where dragons and tigers leap.

The name Longteng also hopes that this team can become a powerful team in the Eastern Super League, and even a top giant!

Other teams have also registered successfully.

such as,

The mascot of Shencheng Eagle Club is an eagle soaring into the sky.

The mascot of the Chengdu Pandaren Club is the national treasure giant panda.

The names of the 24 teams vary, but they are generally considered compliant.

Shen Hao also extracted 125 elite players, took out 115 players, and prepared to sell them to 23 other clubs at a low price.

Note that it is for sale!

As for the level of these players, the head coaches of several clubs who have just successfully applied for it can naturally see clearly.

There is no shortage of famous coaches who have coached in the NBA before.

Although they are dismissed because of their grades, it does not prevent them from going to work again.

Moreover, the bosses of this Eastern Super League are all amazing.

The annual salary of 500 million US dollars is not a price that ordinary teams are willing to offer even in the NBA.

Among them, there are Wizards coach Brooks and Pelicans coach Van Gundy who have just finished get out of class.

Brooks successfully applied for the Dalian Siberian Tigers Club.

No way, Wanda gave too much.

For the Eastern Super League, Brooks sneered at first.

Compared with the NBA, the mecca of basketball, leftover players can kill all sides when they come to the CBA.

But with the few players who came to try out, Brooks' previous impression of Chinese players was completely overturned.

Although he dismissed get out of class because he failed to meet the requirements of the management, it does not mean that Brooks is good.

With his eyesight, it is natural to see that these players all have the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Principal Wang looked at Brooks and asked with some expectation: "Scott, how is Qiaowei's level? Can they play in the NBA?"

"Wang, with the strength of these players, they have every chance to be the main force of the middle and lower reaches of the NBA. Do you have so many talents in your country?"

Brooks also put away his contempt, looked at the five players in different positions, and had different thoughts about the Eastern Super League in his heart.

Since I failed in the NBA, I will prove myself well in the Eastern Super League, and then I will return to the NBA at that time!

"Can they make it to the NBA?"

Wang Sicong was dumbfounded. He didn't know much about basketball, but he just felt that they were quite strong.

But how strong it is, depends on the interpretation of professionals.

"Wang, any one of them can beat the main men's basketball players in your country, oh, except for Chu Ran and Yao Kun."

Brooks looked at Qiao Wei and the others, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed.

No matter how good a coach is, he also needs the performance of his stars in order to implement his tactical intentions.

Principal Wang spent a lot of money to invite Brooks, so he naturally wanted to show off his prestige.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hao was really generous and gave him five NBA starters.

The signing fee for each person is only 100 million, so it's just a free gift.

If possible, Principal Wang would like to give everyone a maximum salary.

The so-called maximum salary refers to the player's first-year contract, which is 25% of the salary cap.

For example, the current salary cap is 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the first-year contract of the maximum-salary player is 500 million U.S. dollars, and then increases by 5% every year.

But given a maximum salary, other players must also hope to get a maximum salary.

If you want to form a super lineup, you must pay a luxury tax.

At this time, the alliance will naturally make a lot of money.

"Ma Dan, if you do it, it's a luxury tax."

Principal Wang gritted his teeth and ordered a Wanda executive who is now the CEO of the Dalian Siberian Tigers Club, "Give Qiao Wei and the others a maximum salary, and let the outside world see the strength of our Dalian."

"Master Wang..."

Shen Fei smiled wryly, this young master is just too capricious.

Four maximum salaries are sent out, but there are only five people, and a team needs at least 15 players to maintain its operation.

Even if the average annual salary of 200 million is calculated later, it will cost 2000 million.

According to the standard set by the league, in addition to the 2000 million salary paid to the players, a 2000 million luxury tax penalty must be paid.

But thinking about Wanda's strength, Shen Fei didn't persuade him any more.

Moreover, Wanda's generous shots are also convenient for recruiting stronger players later.
