Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoou drove his Bugatti and hurried to the ranch. Outside Chen Mo's house, he honked the horn hard...
"Old Mo!"
Chen Mo just woke up and looked out of the window in his pajamas: "Hey, what's going on?"
Bai Xiaoou opened the living room door and came in. He took his mobile phone and clicked on the official website of the municipal government of Coconut State: "Have you checked the official municipal website? Coconut State will hold a dragon boat race next year, with a total prize of 1 billion yuan, and the final champion will be rewarded 300 million yuan.
The prize money for the two-meter round trip race (two thousand meters) is 100 million yuan. Coconut City, are you crazy for offering such a high reward?"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "The bonus I provided."
"Damn, the total prize money of 1 billion... is so high, what are you doing? Even if we hold an international dragon boat race, a total prize money of 4 to 5 billion will be enough. Last year's Wannian City Dragon Boat Race was only more than 300 yuan.
10,000 bonus.”
"So how many teams participated in last year's Wannian City Dragon Boat Race? The total prize money of 1 billion, after deducting taxes of 7788, the actual amount distributed is almost 700 million. Maybe less than 700 million...a standard team
The dragon boat team has 25 people, but the actual number of people participating is 22." 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 more...
Like last year's Wannian City International Dragon Boat Races, the total prize money was 3.6 million yuan. In the final 1,000 thousand round-trip race, the total prize money was only 969,600 yuan for the top three teams, and 460,000 yuan for the first place, which was allocated to a dragon boat team.
The money each player can get is only 20,000 yuan... Whether it is enough for their team's competition fee is questionable... But it seems that every team is organized in various places.
The standard dragon boat team has 25 people, but the actual number should be around 30 people, including players, assistants, coaches, etc.
There is a saying that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. A brave man can only be found under a heavy reward...
The sport of dragon boating has also developed abroad in recent years. For example, the United States has held dragon boat races, but they are indeed a leisure sport. Europe has also held dragon boat races, but they have not attracted much attention...
However, there are dragon boat clubs in European and American countries, and there are still many of them.
Dragon boat racing is a traditional custom in China, so that’s okay.
On May 5th, the dragon boat was launched into the water and the drum was broken.
To beat a drum badly does not mean to beat a drum badly, but to break it, to beat it...the drum.
Dragon boat races are wild, but now dragon boat races have gradually turned into ornamental and entertainment programs. The competitive flavor is getting weaker and weaker...
The total prize money is 1 billion, and the final prize is 300 million. People die for money, and birds die for food... With the huge amount of money, next year's Coconut State Dragon Boat Race should be very exciting and lively.
The Chinese Dragon Boat Race has received strong support from CCTV in recent years, but every time it collides with the NBA, the basketball live broadcast is canceled...
Dragon boat racing is not only a competition, but also culture. However, in recent years, even if there is a live broadcast on CCTV, not many people can watch the dragon boat racing, let alone attract much attention.
If we don’t know how to cherish and operate our own traditional programs and traditional sports, the dragon boat tradition may not be sustainable in a few years or more than ten years. Then, the Dragon Boat Festival will really become Korean...
Bai Xiaoou looked constipated: "There's no need to sponsor 1 billion. Four to five billion, two to three hundred million, that's about right."
Chen Mo shrugged: "I have money. I'm not short of money..."
Bai Xiaoou was unable to refute this reason.
Yunshan Engineering Company's investment has been fully funded. Yunshan Ranch (Yunshan Feed Factory) has also reserved sufficient development funds. In addition, Chen Mo still has 5.1 billion in his personal account (1 billion to sponsor next year's dragon boat race)
The funds have reached a joint account, and when the dragon boat race starts next year, the 1 billion funds will be as much as 1.03 billion), and there are 3.1 billion US dollars in options on Wells Fargo... With so much money, Chen Mo has no idea what to do with it.
flower.
He doesn't want to invest in any big projects in the future.
Besides, the 1 billion for sponsoring the competition is included in the operating costs of the company under Chen Mo's name. I won't talk about it this year. Next year, Chen Mo's ranch and investment here will definitely receive 2 to 3 billion as long as there are no major problems.
some.
"What kind of competition format is the dragon boat race with a total prize of 1 billion?" Bai Xiaoou asked.
"The 500-meter, 750-meter, 800-meter, and 1,000-meter races are divided into club groups, city representative groups, men's groups, and women's groups... The clubs adopt a direct confrontation format. In the city representative group, one city can send three or three teams.
They all adopt a points competition system. The competition process is divided into qualifying rounds, and the qualifying rounds determine the official competition list. Formal competitions, group competitions. 16 will advance to 8, 8 will advance to 4, and 4 will advance to 3. It will depend on the number of teams registered for the competition... 1000 meters
In the round-trip race, the top 8 teams in each group are eligible to participate, and the champion will be awarded 100 million yuan. Then there is the 16-kilometer rally, which is also the finals. The top 5 teams in each group and the top 10 teams in the 1,000-meter round-trip race are
Qualified to participate. A total of 300 million bonuses..." Chen Mo said.
"16km rally...the women's team and the men's team compete together?"
Chen Mo shrugged: "It seems so. Equality between men and women...the rules for the finals are still being studied."
"Then... are there any company representatives participating?" With a total prize of 1 billion yuan, Bai Xiaoou took a deep breath. If he can win the finals, the publicity effect of this advertisement will be... amazing.
Not only can it be featured on CCTV, but it can also be spread around the world overnight.
"You can form a club and compete 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 set up a dragon boat club."
The dragon boat race is not about personal ability, but about team coordination. The final 16-kilometer rally is about team perseverance.
The dragon boat race usually has 25 people. Each team has 23 members, including: 1 coxswain, 1 gong player, 1 drummer, 20 rowers, and 2 substitutes for each team.
But traditional dragon boats are divided into big dragons and small dragons.
Xiaolong, there are thirteen gears in the boat, and there are twenty-six people rowing the boat. There is one flag on the surface of the boat, two on the back tip, one singing god, two drums, two gongs, and two incense sticks, which is exactly the number of thirty-six.
The dragon has eighteen stalls, thirty-six people rowing on both sides, plus twelve deacons including drums, canes, gongs, flags, singing gods, and holding incense and fighting, so forty-eight people are needed.
In the dragon boat race, the more people on a boat, the more lively and enthusiastic it becomes.
If a 42-player competition system is used, the finals prize money will be 300 million, and the money shared equally among everyone will only be more than 7 million, after deducting income taxes and so on...
Anyway, no matter what, it must be as lively as possible.
The small competition format may only have 23 people per boat, and the big competition format is estimated to be 36 or 48 people.
Chen Mo has provided a bonus of 1 billion, so there is no problem in supporting large-scale events.
Use this competition to promote Coconut City, promote the traditional festivals and competitive sports of the Chinese nation... In the end, it is Coconut City that benefits, and Chen Mo's industry in Coconut City is also very big. The end point of the finals is set on the moon
Island, Moon Island is like Chen Mo's private island. It is going to develop a large yacht marina. The reputation here has become great, which is also good for Chen Mo... He will definitely lose money, but this advertisement is done, and it will bring Chen Mo a lot of benefits.
The benefits 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 carry out all-round commercial operations. The TV copyright of the dragon boat race belongs to Coconut State, but the online copyright belongs to Chen Mo and the others...
