Chapter 397: Ao Shen Takes a Trip
Qiao Hai returned to China, and David Falke brought a team and followed Qiao Hai.
The reason is that this time back to China, Qiao Hai also has to sign two endorsement contracts, and by the way, complete the advertising shooting, with Battle joining the Raptors last season, and this year's Yao Ming was elected champion, the market of the Celestial Empire has become more and more important.
As a coach, Qiao Hai has never been favored by various commercial endorsement contracts, and has signed a Versace suit endorsement so far, because Qiao Hai's personal image is good and full of topicality.
This made Versace think of Mu Niao in the field of football, so he signed Qiao Hai and seized the field of basketball coaching.
After the expiration of the last two-year contract, Versace made another five-year bid of $10 million to renew Qiao Hai's contract.
……
The advantage of David Falke following the whole process is that Qiao Hai has a special car to pick up and drop off the whole process.
The headquarters of the Aoshen team is located on the outskirts of the capital, a basketball stadium now known as the Aoshen Stadium, which is owned by the Aoshen itself.
With the popularity of the team's results in the past two years, as well as the reasonable operation of the team's general manager Zheng Ming, Aoshen is also mainly anti-guest in the capital, and the attendance and attention have all surpassed the capital roast duck team in the same city.
Throughout the CBA, Aoshen also receives the highest level of attention.
Because they are CBA champions, under the leadership of foreign handsome David Blatter, Aoshen plays beautiful offensive basketball, victory plus beautiful basketball, plus a group of outstanding young players, Aoshen is naturally attracting countless fans.
……
In the conference room of the Aoshen headquarters, Qiao Hai sat in the main seat.
Sitting on either side were the team's general manager Zheng Ming, team leader Li Ming, and head coach David Blatter, followed by the team's youth training director Yang Rui and scouting director Li Donghai.
This is basically the main personnel of Aoshen's management and coaching staff.
"Mr. Qiao, let me come first and introduce the operation of the team in the past year." Zheng Ming spoke first, Qiao Hai nodded, and motioned for Zheng Ming to continue.
Zheng Ming also nodded and began to introduce: "CBA is still in the initial stage of professionalization, with low income, focusing on team game tickets, last year, our ticket revenue, plus the playoffs and finals, the contract was 5.82 million RMB, plus advertising revenue of 500,000 RMB, and the broadcast income of the CBA league was 1.15 million RMB, and finally plus the miscellaneous income of fans and other miscellaneous income, the total income of a year was about 7.7 million RMB. ”
"This level of income is already ranked first in the entire CBA, which is a cut above other clubs."
"What about the expenses?"
Zheng Ming nodded and continued to introduce: "In terms of expenditure, it is mainly focused on the salary expenditure of players and coaches, among which the salary expenditure of first-team players for a season is 2.87 million RMB, the salary expenditure of the coaching staff for a year is 4.5 million RMB, and the operation of the youth team is about 1.86 million RMB for a season, plus the expenses required for the team's usual operation, our annual expenditure is about 9.87 million RMB." ”
Qiao Hai frowned: "So? ”
"Therefore, after a season, we will probably lose 2.17 million RMB, or even more."
Zheng Ming's final summary shocked Qiao Hai, with a loss of 2.17 million RMB per season, which means that Qiao Hai needs to spend less than $300,000 every year to make up for the loss caused by Aoshen.
But there is no way, Qiao Hai also knows very well that even some NBA teams cannot guarantee profits, let alone these CBA teams.
Coupled with Aoshen's large-scale reinforcements in the past few years, the salaries of the players in the team are relatively high compared to the average level of this league, if it were not for Zheng Ming's reasonable operation, Aoshen's loss would be even greater.
After Zheng Ming finished summarizing, Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, I know, it's okay to lose money, we can get it back from other places." ”
"Elsewhere?" Zheng Ming was a little puzzled.
"That's right, in the past six months, there should have been a lot of American scouts on the sidelines of the Aoshen game, right?"
Team leader Li Ming immediately nodded: "That's right, almost every game has to be an old face." ”
"That's right, now in our team, Tang Zhendong should not be far from the NBA, let's run him to participate in the NBA draft next year, by the way, and Xue Yuyang, he is about the same age."
Qiao Hai commanded.
Zheng Ming had another question: "What if you are chosen?" ”
"Ask for a certain amount of buyout fees, and then let them go, it depends on your negotiations, and I will find corresponding experts from the United States to assist you."
The maximum buyout fee stipulated by the NBA is 500,000 US dollars, and the contract is more than 4 million yuan.
Then, Yang Rui, the director of youth training, began to report on his work.
"Except in 2000, when we spent a lot of money to build an academy team and recruit a group of young players with potential and talent from all over the country, in recent years, our academy has invested almost no ......."
"Right now, the best player in our youth team is Sun Yue, a 2-meter-tall point guard."
Qiao Hai knocked on the table and thought for a while: "Youth training is not good if you don't invest, youth training is fundamental, so let's do it, Zheng Ming, starting from this year, we will increase the funds of 2 million RMB every year and invest them in youth training." ”
Zheng Ming immediately nodded, indicating that he understood.
Anyway, it was Qiao Hai who paid the money, and all he had to do was take the money to do things.
In the end, Qiao Hai exchanged a few words with the team's head coach David Blatter about the team's tactical play, and soon ended his trip to the gods.
At the end of the trip to Aoshen, Qiao Hai went to the Aoshen Gymnasium to watch the team's training, and then threw out the second intermediate potential improvement card.
The target is Xue Yuyang, who has an existing total score of 58 and a potential value of 60 points.
After using it, Xue Yuyang's potential value soared to 75 points, and if he can realize his potential, Xue Yuyang can at least play as a starter in the NBA.
……
Leaving the headquarters of the Aoshen, Qiao Hai continued to stay in the capital.
He met with Li Ning, the owner of Li Ning Sports, in the capital, and under the negotiation of David Falke, Qiao Hai signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Li Ning for an amount of 10 million US dollars.
Qiao Hai didn't have too many ideas about this endorsement, he knew that as a head coach and general manager, except for Li Ning, there would be no other sports brand to give him an endorsement contract.
Therefore, this endorsement is more like Qiao Hai's windfall won by relying on the special status of the Chinese.
And the $10 million is very easy to get, there is no need for Qiao Hai to shoot any advertisements, as long as Qiao Hai takes out his portrait rights and provides them to Li Ning for use.
Of course, there is also a premise that Li Ning can only use Qiao Hai's portrait rights on the specified products.
……
After signing a contract with Li Ning, Qiao Hai took a plane from the capital airport to the magic capital.
In the magic capital, Qiao Hai inspected the work of Huoping Sports, in fact, Qiao Hai did not come to inspect, he was also able to understand the business status of Huoping, how much traffic a website has, just look at the comments under those news, and how many posts there are in the forum area.
Now, the number of comments on an ordinary piece of news has reached hundreds, and the forum area has an average of thousands of new posts every day.
Judging from the drainage results of the website, Yu Jia and Zhang Xinglin's work is still very successful.
However, this is also due to the resources given by Qiao Hai, the news source provided by Hoop in the United States, the technical team in the United States provided by Qiao Hai, the successful experience of Hoop in the United States, and so on.
