Chapter 453 Unexpected Call
Qiao Yu will flip through the information in her hand. After a while.
"Yinlu is indeed good. But they are developing so well, will they sell it?"
"Whether they will sell it, we have to talk about it first. If the progress is not going well, we can If we properly reveal the profits of each of Hanhua's funds, we have a lot of chips to play with."
Qiao Yuhui nodded.
"As for the overseas market, the United States is not in a hurry. It will first slowly build up the brand reputation and win over the Chinese market. I will find a way in Japan.
The next most important thing for Jianlibao is to produce a batch of products suitable for Southeast Asia. and beverages and mineral water from South Asian countries.”
“Southeast Asia and South Asia?”
Xu Liang nodded, “Currently, Hongmeng has nearly 800 large-scale Internet cafes in Southeast Asia. There are nearly 2,000 small and medium-sized Internet cafes.
As we expand into the South Asian market, the number of Internet cafes will be even greater.
These Internet cafes are all distribution networks.
It is also a distribution network controlled by us. Here, I can only sell Jianlibao's beverages and food. I dare not say more, but in a year, I can at least increase the sales of Jianlibao by 3 billion Huaxia coins.
Moreover, through the distribution network of Internet cafes, it can also cultivate customer loyalty, enhance brand influence, and completely open up the entire Southeast Asian and South Asian markets.
This is much easier than Japan and the United States. ”
Qiao Yuhui’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
He stood up suddenly.
“I will immediately arrange for the design department to make products for the Southeast Asian market.”
Xu Liang did not stop her. The sooner the product is released, the sooner she will make money.
After Qiao Yuhui left, Xu Liang picked up the phone on the table and called Lu Hui.
“Call Rick Gordon, I’ll be waiting for him on the line.”
"Yes."
Not long after, the phone in front of Xu Liang rang.
After picking up, the voice of Warriors general manager Rick Gordon came over.
“BOSS.”
“The drawing is over, we got lottery number 4 and lottery 41.”
Xu Liang felt relieved after nodding. David Stern did not break his promise.
This year's Warriors reached a tiebreaker with the Lakers, who had an OK combination, in the Western Conference Finals. In the end, they were eliminated by Kobe Bryant's buzzer-beater in overtime.
The strength is so strong that he is already at the top of the league.
He was really afraid that David Stern would go back on his word.
"Does Coach Tom have any requirements for the lineup?" Xu Liang asked.
"Tom hopes that we can introduce a strong backcourt player, especially a swingman. Chris Mills has submitted his retirement application, and Arenas is the only shooting guard left.
Although he It's our strength, but he also needs some rest," Rick Gordon said respectfully.
Xu Liang couldn't help but think of the Warriors' lineup this season.
Centers: Yao Ming, Eric Dampier and Wang Zhizhi.
Power forward: Ben, Carlos Boozer and Troy Murphy.
Small forwards: Jason Richardson, Chris Bowen.
Shooting Guards: ‘General’ Arenas, Chris Mills.
Point Guard: Billups and Bob Sura.
I won’t talk about the remaining miscellaneous soldiers.
“Boss, Troy Murphy has submitted a transfer request to us.”
Xu Liang nodded.
Troy Murphy averaged 8.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in 19 minutes of playing time this season.
Of course I am not willing to just be a substitute.
And Carlos Boozer has grown very quickly. Although he only played ten minutes, he still scored 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds.
In addition, there is a strong and powerful Big Ben in front.
The Warriors' power forward position is too thin.
Make him want to leave.
"Rick, do you think if we exchange Arenas + Richardson + Troy Murphy for the No. 1 pick in the hands of the Cavaliers, will he sell it?"
K. Gordon swallowed.
The big boss's move was too big, and he directly tore apart most of the Warriors' main lineup that they had been working on for a season.
"BOSS, I don't know if the Cavaliers will accept the trade. We have to discuss it in detail. However, although LeBron James is very famous, is he really worth the price we spend?"
"It's worth it."
Xu Liang said with certainty.
LeBron James is considered a rare iron man in the NBA. He had not retired before time travel.
You can still win the scoring title at the age of 40, and your physical fitness is only comparable to that of Joe Hooligan.
The point is, LeBron not only brings results, but also huge attention.
The most important thing is that Arenas and Richardson were traded so that James and Wade can be arranged.
"Then I will send an email to the Cavaliers first."
"Please keep it confidential."
"Okay. ...By the way, BOSS. This season, I have sent the Warriors’ revenue to your inbox.”
"I know, I will read it."
After a few brief words, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
"It's a pity that there is no player trading in the NBA. Otherwise, I could make a lot of money just by doing this." He shook his head, turned on his computer, and found the Warriors' revenue file in his mailbox.
“Yes, over 100 million.”
Throughout the 2002~2003 season, the Warriors' net revenue was US$137 million.
The broadcast share is 13 million US dollars, which is low.
Because the number of broadcast games last season was determined before the game, and the Warriors were not a popular team, ESPN, the mainstream NBA broadcaster in the United States, only gave the Warriors 23 national live broadcast games.
But next season will definitely be different.
The second is commercial income, including sponsorship and endorsements, jerseys, souvenirs, peripherals, etc.
Compared with before, the Warriors’ endorsement fees this season have skyrocketed, directly exceeding US$40 million, reaching US$42.13 million.
Especially the advertising endorsements from China, which directly accounted for 60% of the Warriors’ endorsement fees.
The third is ticket revenue.
The average ticket price for the Warriors is US$35, with an average attendance of 18,423 per game, and a profit of more than US$50 million in 82 regular season games.
Coupled with playoff tickets, it exceeded US$70 million.
The last thing that remains is the related income dividend.
6% of regular season tickets, 25% of playoff tickets, 25% of peripheral products, 30% of advertising endorsements, etc. These league commissions eventually become the NBA’s basketball-related income for the season.
After excluding various costs and operating expenses in the 2002~03 season, the amount of related income available for distribution is US$306.15 million. On average, each team can receive US$10.205 million, which is a considerable amount. .
Compared to last season, the Warriors' revenue increased by 70% from just over 80 million.
The income brought by Yao Ming makes almost all team owners in the NBA jealous.
However, what makes them even more envious is the Warriors' extremely low spending.
In the entire main lineup, only Ben’s salary exceeded US$8 million.
Billups is less than $6 million.
Yao Ming, Richardson and Arenas are all in their rookie stages, and their combined salaries are less than 5 million.
Deduct player wages, coaching team wages, team operation and promotion, arena rental and maintenance, scouting fees, training camps organized during the offseason, arena staff wages, as well as accommodation and accommodation for away games. After transportation and many other expenses.
The Warriors made nearly $60 million in profit during the 2002-03 season.
Higher than the Lakers and Knicks, ranking first in the NBA.
The Warriors are profitable and have a bright future.
Manchester United is not bad either. They fought back after being 11 points behind and overtook Arsenal to win the Premier League championship this season.
It is a pity that Manchester United has been delisted after being acquired by Phoenix Fund, otherwise the market value will definitely skyrocket.
Under this series of favorable factors, Phoenix 2 Fund’s fundraising of US$2 billion was so smooth.
Time always flies when you are busy.
It’s night in the blink of an eye.
After dinner.
Xu Liang was preparing to spend time under the moonlight when a phone call came in unexpectedly.
Picked it up, looked at it, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Xu Sheng, I am Li Jiacheng."
"Mr. Li, I am really surprised to receive your call at this time." Xu Liang said.
"Haha, I originally wanted to visit tomorrow, but I heard a piece of news by chance. I didn't know whether it was true or not, so I called Xu Sheng to check."
"Oh, I don't know. What news? ”
"Xu Sheng is looking for an office building in Central?"
"Mr. Li is indeed well-informed. Yes, Hanhua's office space is a bit crowded, and I plan to find a new office address for them." Xu Liangye No secret.
"What do Xu Sheng think of the Central Center?"
Xu Liang narrowed his eyes unconsciously, feeling a little wary instinctively.
No wonder he is like this, Li Jiacheng is an old fox.
"Central Center is certainly good, but if I remember correctly, it is Mr. Li's property."
"It is indeed a property owned by Cheung Kong, but I can sell part of the interest to Xu Sheng." After a pause, Li Jiacheng continued with a smile, "Xu Sheng, Hanhua is now the world's top private equity financial institution. As the international headquarters in Xiangjiang, the office address must be a landmark building to show Hanhua's strength.
Central Center is a rare super high-rise modern 5A-level office building in Hong Kong. Only the International Financial Center, Central Plaza and Bank of China Tower can surpass it.
But Bank of China Tower will never be rented out, and the International Financial Center will never be rented out. Although Central Plaza can be leased to Hanhua, the interest will not be sold
So Central Center is the most suitable choice for Hanhua.”
In 2003, the future tallest building in Hong Kong, the International Commerce Plaza, was still under construction and would not be completed until 2011.
"Mr. Li's words are indeed good, but I wonder how much equity you plan to sell in Central Center? What is the price?"
"The commercial area of Central Center is 1.4 million square feet, and 20% of the equity is 300,000 square feet should be enough for Hanhua. As for the price, how about 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars?"
Xu Liang was a little surprised.
The price given by Li Jiacheng was unexpectedly cheap.
Although the property market in Hong Kong is currently weak, and it is still 2003, a landmark building in a top location like the Central Center can be sold for an overall price of HK$15 billion.
Now Li Jiacheng sells it to him at the market price?
Is this still the businessman Li Jiacheng?
Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd, Xu Liang would not refuse the food that was brought to his mouth.
"If Mr. Li is really willing to give such conditions, I will be happy to buy it." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Then I won't disturb Xu Sheng. We will get together after the contract is signed."
"Okay."
After saying 'goodbye' to each other, the two hung up. Telephone.
