Chapter 746 Nanyang goes global (fourth update, please subscribe)

Dear, do you want to host the Olympics?
This invitation came too suddenly, even a little unexpected.

As far as Li Yi'an knows, Tangshan's bid to host the Olympic Games was full of twists and turns. I remember that when the bid was successful that year, it was a national sensation. Some of Li Yi'an's friends even called it "Olympics" to commemorate the successful bid that year.

And now, there is actually a senior official of the International Olympic Committee whispering in your ear - dear, do you want to host the Olympics?

What does it feel like?
fantastic!
Even after learning the news, Li Yian didn't react for a while.

"Your Excellency, if our country wants to bid for the 17th Olympic Games eight years from now, we can prepare the corresponding materials now."

Looking at Your Excellency who has not yet come to his senses, Chen Jixuan said with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Your Excellency, as of now, no Asian country has hosted the Olympic Games since the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Although Japan once won the right to host the Olympic Games for 40 years, it was suspended due to World War II. If our country can successfully bid, Not only can it greatly boost our country’s aspirations, but it can also unite the people’s hearts…”

When Chen Jixuan was talking about the benefits of hosting the Olympics, Li Yian was thinking further. Whether it was from Japan, South Korea or Tangshan, hosting the Olympics has greatly enhanced the international status and national influence of the host country, especially subsequent countries. The economic take-off is obvious to all.

For example, after Japan hosted the 1964th Olympic Games in 18, it became the world's second largest economy and Asia's largest economic power. Data show that from 1964 to 1973, Japan's annual GDP growth exceeded 10%.

“Can I make money by hosting the Olympics?”

Before the 84 Los Angeles Olympics, the host countries of all previous Olympic Games had made money at a loss, but the Los Angeles Olympics became the first Olympic Games in history to make money.

When mentioning tens of millions of dollars, Chen Jixuan took a special look at Your Excellency. This money is a huge amount of money no matter which country it is placed in.

Chen Jixuan said in surprise.

Li Yian sighed,

"It's quite a lot!"

"...In short, there are many benefits. The only disadvantage is...it costs money to host the Olympics, tens of millions of dollars."

Large Korean companies, such as Samsung and LG, have linked their companies to the Olympics through sponsorship and advertising, which has increased the visibility of their product brands and created conditions for accelerating international operations in the future.

Thanks to the Olympic Games held in Tangshan that year, there were a lot of Olympic knowledge on TV. Even the school where Li Yi'an studied held some Olympic knowledge competition, which made Li Yi'an know a lot about the Olympic Games.

A more obvious example is South Korea. The Seoul Olympics also brought a fulcrum for South Korea's economic take-off. Before the Olympics, South Korea was almost unknown to the world. It was not even a member of the United Nations. At that time, the economic structure was still in labor-intensive industries, and Korean manufacturing was just synonymous with "shoddy manufacturing." Taking the Seoul Olympics as a starting point, South Korea's per capita GDP increased from US$1985 to US$1990 from 2300 to 6300, surpassing primitive accumulation and completely becoming an emerging industrial country.

"Although it costs a lot of money, if you do it right, you can still make money at the Olympics!"

The Olympic Games' role in promoting the host country's economy and promoting its brand are indescribable.

This is directly related to breaking the rules. When the Olympic Games Preparatory Committee was established in Los Angeles, it did not choose any sports celebrities or officials to be the chairman of the organizing committee. Instead, it chose 45-year-old Peter Ueberroth, a financial professional. Served as chairman of the organizing committee. This guy showed outstanding talent in the preparatory and organizational work, especially in financial management, and became famous all over the world.

The total budget for that Olympic Games was US$4.5 million. It turned out that Ueberroth planned to make a surplus of US$1.5 million after breaking even with his business methods. But according to information later released by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, the surplus was US$2.5 million! As a result, Ueberroth became famous and was hailed as the "God of Olympic Management" by the people.

From then on, the profit-making era of the Olympic Games was ushered in! Hold a money-making Olympics!

Is it important?
important!

Li Yian never does loss-making business. In fact, the system never allows him to do loss-making business.

But more importantly, Nanyang can truly go global with the Olympic Games.

Now Nanyang's C717 has been tested, and the C707 will be tested by the end of the year at the latest. Even the high-speed railway has been put into use. Technically speaking, Nanyang's large aircraft will not only be able to bring athletes from all over the world to the Olympic Games eight years later. Nanyang, and it can still make them feel the impact of the new era.

Jet planes, bullet trains, satellites…

By that time, the whole world will know a brand new Nanyang!

Not only is it the third largest economy in the world, it is bound to become another... dazzling new star besides the United States and Soviet Russia!

Even Nanyang will become the most handsome boy in the world!
Nanyang will also go to the world from now on!
Thinking of this, Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth lightly and looked at Chen Jixuan and said.

"Prepare the materials!"

"Your Mightiness!"

Chen Jixuan stood up suddenly in excitement and said.

"Do we really want to host the Olympics?"

"Correct!"

Li Yian nodded vigorously and said.

"Not only do we need to host the Olympic Games, but we also need to host the Asian Games. The second Asian Games will be held in the Philippines, so let's hold the third one in Chang'an. First, we can practice our skills and accumulate some experience for hosting the Olympic Games. As for the second one, , venue construction and other things are a big expense, so you have to make the most of it!”

The reason why I specifically mentioned the Asian Games is because Nanyang won 11 gold medals at the Asian Games last year, ranking second because India was first, and Japan and North and South were ranked third and fourth respectively, so Li Yi An has always been thinking about it.

As for the reason why the second Asian Games was held in Manila, the reason is... it is a founding member of the Far East Games, well, so is Tangshan, and even the Asian Games was directly promoted by Tangshan and the Philippines. During the London Olympics, Tangshan and Philippine sports people plan to resume the Far East Games and are discussing with sports people from various Asian countries.

Guru Sandy, the leader of the Indian sports community at the time, believed that the Far Eastern Games was not enough to reflect the level of Asian sports and the spirit of unity of the Asian people, and advocated the establishment of an Asian Games in which all Asian countries would participate.

So he visited representatives from the Asian sports community who came to London to participate in the 1948 Olympic Games, and invited representatives from 13 Asian countries and regions to hold a preparatory meeting on the establishment of the Asian Sports Organization. A preparatory meeting for the establishment of the Asian Sports Organization was held in New Delhi. So the first Asian Games was naturally won by the Asan family.

All I can say is... Ah San is really very good at Ah San. In terms of her ability to show her face, no one has ever been able to win over Ah San. As long as there is an opportunity to show her face, she will never miss it. This must be studied hard.

Since the first and second Asian Games have already been confirmed, Nanyang will reluctantly hold on to the third Asian Games!
Just think of it as practice!
