American Ranch

Chapter 453 The more lively the better

Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoou drove a Bugatti to the ranch in a hurry. Outside Chen Mo's house, he honked the horn...

"Old Mo!"

Chen Mo just woke up and glanced through the window in his pajamas: "Hey, what's the matter."

Bai Xiaoou pushed open the living room door and came in, took his mobile phone, and clicked on the official website of Coconut State Municipality: "Have you checked the official website of Coconut City? Next year, Coconut City will hold a dragon boat race, with a total prize of 10 billion yuan, and the winner of the final will be rewarded with 3 million yuan. The prize money for the round-trip race (2000 meters) is 1 million yuan. Coconut City, is this crazy, offering such a high reward.”

Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "The bonus I offered."

"Damn, a total bonus of 10 billion... so high, what are you doing? Even if you hold an international dragon boat race, there is a total bonus of 300 to [-] million, which is almost enough. Last year's Wannian City Dragon Boat Race was only more than [-] million bonus."

"Then how many teams participated in last year's Wannian City Dragon Boat Race? The total prize money of 10 billion, after deducting 7 taxes, was actually about 7 million. It may be less than 25 million... a standard The dragon boat team has 22 people, but the actual number of people on the field is [-]." This is the number of people in the Wannian City Dragon Boat Team last year. In fact, the number of people in large-scale dragon boat races is even more...

Like last year's Wannian City International Dragon Boat Race, the total bonus was 360 million yuan.In the final 1000 round trip, the total prize money was only 96. 96 points for the top three teams, No. 146 million, assigned to a dragon boat team, the money each player can get is only [-]... Whether it is enough for their team's competition fee is a problem... But it seems that each Teams are organized in various places.

The standard dragon boat team is 25 people, but the actual number should be around 30 people, players, assistants, coaches and so on.

There is a saying that under great rewards there must be brave men.There are warriors under heavy gold...

The sport of dragon boat has also developed in foreign countries in recent years. For example, the United States has held dragon boat races, but it is really a form of leisure sports.Dragon boat races have also been held in Europe, but they have not attracted much attention...

However, there are many dragon boat clubs in European and American countries.

Dragon boat rowing is a traditional custom in China, no problem.

On May [-]th, the dragon boat is launched into the water to beat the broken drums.

To beat a drum, not to say to beat a drum, but to break, to beat... a drum.

Dragon boat races are wild, but now the dragon boat races are gradually turning into ornamental and entertaining programs.The taste of competition is getting weaker and weaker...

10 billion total prize money, 3 million final prize money.People die for money, birds die for food... With a lot of money, next year's Coconut State Dragon Boat Race should be very exciting and lively.

In recent years, the China Dragon Boat Race has received strong support from CCTV, but every time it collides with the NBA, the basketball live broadcast is canceled...

Dragon boat racing is both a competition and a culture. However, even if the dragon boat races were broadcast live on CCTV in recent years, not many people watched them, let alone attracted much attention.

If we don't know how to cherish our own traditional programs and traditional sports, and we don't know how to operate them, the dragon boat tradition may be unsustainable in a few years or more than ten years.Well, the Dragon Boat Festival is really going to be Korean...

Bai Xiaoou looked constipated: "Then there is no need to sponsor 10 billion. Four to five billion, two to three hundred million, almost enough."

Chen Mo shrugged: "I have money. Not short of money..."

Bai Xiaoou was powerless to refute this reason.

The investment of Yunshan Engineering Company has been fully accounted for.Yunshan Ranch (Yunshan Feed Factory) has also reserved sufficient development funds.In addition, there are still 51 billion in Chen Mo's personal account (the 10 billion funds for sponsoring next year's dragon boat race have reached a joint account, and the survival period, when the dragon boat race starts next year, the 10 billion funds will be as much as 10.3 billion), and in Wells Fargo Bank There are 31 billion US dollars in options... so much money, Chen Mo has no idea how to spend it.

He doesn't want to invest in any big projects in the future.

Besides, the 10 billion for sponsoring the competition is included in the operating costs of the business under Chen Mo's name.Not to mention this year, next year, Chen Mo's ranch and investment here, as long as there are no major problems, there will definitely be 30 billion in the account.

"What kind of competition system is the dragon boat race with a total bonus of 10 billion?" Bai Xiaoou asked.

"500 meters, 750 meters, 800 meters, 1000 meters race. There are club groups, city representative groups, men's groups, and women's groups... The clubs adopt the form of direct confrontation. In the city representative group, a city can send 3 teams. All adopt the points competition system. The competition process is divided into qualifying competitions, and the qualifying competitions determine the entry into the official competition list. Formal competitions, group competitions. 16 enters 8, 8 enters 4, and 4 enters 3. At that time, it depends on the number of teams that register for the competition... 1000 meters In the round-trip race, the top 8 in each group are eligible to participate, and the champion will be awarded 1 million yuan. After that, there will be a 16-kilometer rally, which is also the final. The top 5 teams in each group and the top 1000 teams in the 10-meter round-trip race will have Eligibility to participate. A total of 3 million bonus..." Chen Mo said.

"A 16km rally... the women's and men's races together?"

Chen Mo shrugged: "It seems so. Men and women are equal... The rules for the final are still being studied."

"Then... is there any company representative to participate in the competition?" Bai Xiaoou took a deep breath for the total bonus of 10 billion yuan. If he can win the championship of the finals, the publicity effect of this advertisement will be... amazing.

Not only can it be on CCTV, but it can also spread all over the world overnight.

"You can form a club and play in the club group. As long as you get the ranking, you can still participate in the finals." Chen Mo said with a smile: "I am preparing to establish a dragon boat club."

The competition in the dragon boat race is not about individual ability, but team coordination ability, and the final 16-kilometer rally is more about team perseverance.

Dragon boat races, usually with 25 people.There are 23 members in each dragon boat race, including: one helmsman, one gong player, one drummer each, and 1 rowers.Each team has 20 substitutes.

But traditional dragon boats are divided into big dragons and small dragons.

Xiaolong, with thirteen stalls on the hull, 26 people rowing the boat, one to control the flag on the surface of the boat, two at the rear tip, one to sing the gods, two to play the drums, two to hold the gongs, and two to hold the incense buckets, which is exactly the number of 36.

There are 36 stalls in the dragon, 12 people rowing boats on both sides, and 48 deacons including drums, shoots, gongs, flags, singing gods, and tuoxiangdou, [-] people are needed.

In the dragon boat race, the more people on a boat, the more lively and passionate it is.

If a 42-player competition system is used, the prize money for the finals will be 3 million yuan, and the money that will be divided equally among the players will be more than 700 million yuan, after deducting income tax...

Anyway, no matter what, it must be as lively as possible.

The small competition system may be 23 people per boat, and the big competition is estimated to be 36 or 48 people.

Chen Mo provided a bonus of 10 billion, and there is no problem in supporting large-scale competitions.

Use this competition to promote Coconut City, the traditional festivals and competitive sports of the Chinese nation... In the end, Coconut City will benefit, and Chen Mo's industry in Coconut City is also very large.The finish line of the final round is set on Moon Island. Moon Island is like Chen Mo’s private island. It is planning to develop a large yacht marina. The fame here will be good for Chen Mo... Losing money is bound to happen, but this advertisement is well done. Yes, the benefits brought to Chen Mo are also great.

At the same time, this competition can also be used to promote Hanfu culture.

For a large-scale competition, Chen Mo will conduct all-round commercial operations.The television copyright of the dragon boat race belongs to Coconut State, but the internet copyright belongs to Chen Mo and the others...
