Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

In the backyard, Jones slowly explained his purpose, but what puzzled him was that the Oriental in front of him could still sit still in the face of his "grand" plan.

Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart. He thought Jones had some amazing plan, but in the end he just used his fame to organize a fighting competition.

"Mr. Qin, do you think my plan cannot be implemented? Please rest assured on this point. I have a deep background in the state government, and I also have a business partner who will be fully responsible for publicity. As long as you agree to participate, This competition will definitely make money.”

“This is a great opportunity to spread your influence across the United States.”

Seeing that Qin Hao hadn't moved for a long time, Jones felt unsure and quickly threw out the bait.

Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not worried about the feasibility of this plan, I just feel..."

"This plan of yours is too petty."

"Stingy?" Jones' brain was a little confused for a moment. This was a plan that he spent half a month researching and perfecting. He didn't expect to receive such an evaluation.

Qin Hao took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"The profit that can be obtained by holding a competition is actually very limited. You and I also need to add your partner and various public relations expenses. How much is left?"

Jones nodded unconsciously, but still said firmly: "We can find merchants to sponsor us. As long as there are more than five merchants, the income will still be considerable."

"That's just an income. Why don't we keep running this competition, so that we can get a steady stream of income?" Qin Hao interrupted directly.

Jones opened his mouth wide. Qin Hao's words were like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. Yes, if this competition can be held for a few more times, wouldn't it be possible to make more money?

"However, your popularity cannot be maintained forever."

"Then create a few more popular fighters. Besides, I don't plan to compete all the time. Being a referee and competing at the same time will only make people question the fairness of the competition."

Jones licked his dry lips. He originally thought his plan was crazy enough, but after hearing Qin Hao's plan, he felt that his idea was too childish.

Before Jones could react, Qin Hao dropped another bombshell.

"We can set up an event organizing committee and a brokerage company. The organizing committee is responsible for coordinating the event, formulating rules, and organizing league systems at various levels. The brokerage company is responsible for cultivating, packaging and promoting players. The organizing committee and the brokerage company Each takes care of its own business and does not interfere with each other to ensure the fairness of the competition."

"As long as we can achieve relative fairness, there will be a steady stream of fighters who want to be famous and make money to cooperate with us, and the influence of the event will become greater and greater. This is the real profit."

Jones felt that his brain was deprived of oxygen. He felt that his position with the opponent had been reversed. Wasn't it because he was the one who shocked the Oriental? Why is it that now I am the one who is shocked?

But no matter who shocked whom, he had to admit that this plan was much better than his rough plan. No, it should be perfect. He seemed to see countless dollars coming towards him.

"If we do this, we will need to invest more money in the early stage, and many details will need to be re-finalized."

Qin Hao nodded lightly: "So, you have three days to convince your partners. If there is no reply after three days, I will find other partners to organize the event."

The reason why I chose to cooperate with Jones instead of working alone was mainly because of his American identity and certain social resources. After all, he has not yet become a U.S. citizen, and it is inconvenient to do many things.

As for whether Jones will use his plan to find others to cooperate, Qin Hao is not worried at all, because except for him, no one has such influence in the American fighting world.

On the contrary, it would be too easy for him to find a replacement for Jones.

"Brother, are you going to hold a martial arts conference?"

After sending Jones away, Gong Ruomei asked curiously.

Qin Hao nodded, then shook his head: "It's similar in form, but it's more formal than the martial arts conference, and it also focuses more on commercialization."

"commercialize?"

"Nowadays, many boxers either open gyms and recruit apprentices to support themselves. The only way to really hit people is a few times. If you teach them, the apprentices will not pay anymore after they learn it. If you don't teach them, as time goes by, the apprentices will lose hope. , naturally ran away."

"Either you make money by joining the Black Society and acting as a thug for others. Both models are very unhealthy."

Qin Hao paused and continued: "The reason why I hold this event is to give these boxers a platform to monetize their kung fu. As long as your kung fu is high enough, you can gain both fame and fortune through this platform."

Gong Ruomei opened her mouth slightly when she heard this. Only then did she understand Qin Hao's good intentions.

"Brother, if this can be accomplished, it will be a great merit."

This is not an exaggeration at all. Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts is not just talk. Boxers have no legitimate income. Unless you have a net worth like Mr. Ye, it is difficult to persevere. This has also led many boxers to go astray and have many unique skills. It was also lost because of this.

Once they have a legitimate source of income, these boxers can focus on studying fighting skills, polishing their bodies, and creating stronger martial arts techniques, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

"I can't say that I have immeasurable merits. At most, I can only leave some incense for the survival of martial arts."

Qin Hao said calmly, if this event can develop to the scale of MMA in later generations, masters of some domestic martial arts schools can also gain practical experience through this platform. This can be regarded as his contribution to Chinese martial arts and can comfort Master Li Cunyi's spirit in heaven. .

Two days later, Jones brought his business partner Metz to find Qin Hao to discuss the details of the event again.

"Mr. Qin, regarding your issue of fair competition, I would like to know how to implement it. Is betting on boxing prohibited?"

Qin Hao smiled: "The United States promulgated a prohibition on alcohol more than ten years ago. Not only did it not stop people from drinking, it actually made those gangsters make a lot of money. Even the government can't do something, so what can we do? Is it possible?"

"and you."

"What I mean is that instead of letting those gangsters make the money, it is better for us to earn it ourselves. This will maintain relative fairness and prevent those gangsters from interfering in the results of the game at will."

Metz and Jones were stunned when they heard this, and then were pleasantly surprised. They naturally knew how much profit "gambling" could bring. They were originally worried that Qin Hao was a stubborn guy, and it would be difficult to convince him, but they didn't. Come to think of it, he actually thought of going ahead a long time ago.

"However, if we don't manipulate the game, if someone places a big bet, we will lose a lot of money." Metz suppressed the excitement in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

Qin Hao shook his head lightly: "The gambling industry seems to be about luck, but it is actually a problem of probability, so we need to invite some high-end mathematical talents to help us calculate the betting volume and odds of each game. At the same time, Design more diverse gameplay.”

"for example?"

"For example, in addition to the odds of winning or losing, we can allow gamblers to bet on whether player A can last for several minutes without falling to the ground in a game, or whether player B can get a few effective hits."

Jones slapped his thigh and said to Metz: "You see, I have already said that he is a genius."

Metz nodded with deep understanding, then stretched out his hand towards Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, you are indeed the most commercially talented fighter I have ever seen."

After chatting about business planning, Jones asked another question.

"Mr. Qin, what are your thoughts on the composition of the event organizing committee?"

These two self-esteemed white foreigners completely recognized Qin Hao's identity as a partner and even had some backbone. At least in terms of hosting events, Qin Hao's ability had impressed them.

Qin Hao thought for a while: "As for the event organizing committee, I think the most important thing is to ensure its pure commercial nature. My suggestion is to establish a company first, with the three of us jointly investing."

"This is a good proposal, but the shareholding ratio is about it."

We are all foxes for thousands of years, and no one is stupid. The organizing committee of this event will have unlimited power in the future, and will control the trend of all competitions. Whoever holds the most shares will have more say.

"I hold 40% of the shares, you each hold 20%, and the remaining 20% ​​is reserved for future partners. How about that?" Qin Hao said after a moment of thought.

Metz and Jones looked at each other. It was not that they could not accept this share. After all, they needed to use Qin Hao's fame to promote the event. In addition, the entire planning plan was formulated by the other party, so it was reasonable to take more shares. .

However, he still pretended to be reluctant on the surface.

Qin Hao made a serious face: "Since you two feel it's inappropriate, why not go back and think it over before we talk."

Metz and Jones were also afraid that Qin Hao would throw them away and seek cooperation from others, so they could only agree half-heartedly.

The shares of the remaining gaming companies and brokerage companies are basically divided equally among the three. Qin Hao has no objection to this. As long as he can have enough say in the organizing committee, whether it is a brokerage company or a gaming company, Everyone has to listen to him.

In the next three days, Qin Hao and the others finally finalized all the plans and began to enter the implementation stage.

I have to admit that Americans are very persistent and efficient in making money. In just two days, the business licenses of three companies were obtained.

At the same time, Qin Hao also used his influence in the fighting circle to invite fighters from all over the world to participate.

Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to let someone with red lips and white teeth go into the ring and fight to the death. For this reason, Qin Hao also gave away a total bonus of one million US dollars.

In future generations, one million US dollars would not be enough to pay a fraction of the appearance fees of many boxing champions, but in the United States in 1931, it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Although this million is the total prize money for the event, the champion can also receive half a million US dollars, the runner-up 200,000 US dollars, the third runner-up 100,000 US dollars, and the rest can get a huge bonus as long as they enter the top 16.

As for those who didn't make it to the top 16, then I'm sorry, who makes you inferior in skills?

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Which boxer has the nerve to admit that he cannot even enter the top sixteen?

"Master Qin, are you telling the truth? Are you really giving me so much money?"

"One million U.S. dollars, I'll be nice, how much will it cost?"

For a time, there was an endless stream of fighters from all over the world who came to inquire about the news, and the threshold of Qin Hao's family was crossed.

To this, Qin Hao’s unified reply was.

"One million US dollars has been transferred to the company account of the competition organizing committee and can be checked at any time. Moreover, this is only the prize money for the first competition. The second competition next year will definitely be higher."

The golden pie fell down, and all the fighters from all over the world were knocked unconscious.

That's one million US dollars. Who wouldn't be confused after seeing it?

As a result, the registration materials received by the competition organizing committee quickly piled up into a small mountain, and the speed is still increasing.

"Oh my god, these people are so crazy."

"Haha, I think we can open the champagne in advance to celebrate the success of the event!"

Jones and Metz looked at the registration information as if they were looking at a golden mountain, their eyes wide open.

Qin Hao poured cold water on the two of them at the right time: "There are more people participating, and we need to invest more staff to ensure that this competition can meet psychological expectations. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid the second competition will be held." Can’t get up.”

"Well, Qin, you are right, we should not take it lightly."

With Qin Hao's reminder, Jones and Metz recruited a new group of employees, reorganized all aspects of the event, and re-formulated rules for some unreasonable processes.

At the same time, in order to attract sponsors, but also to attract more people to bet.

Qin Hao and the others also placed a large number of advertisements on the top TV and radio stations in the United States.

The deeper the economic depression, the higher the people's demand for entertainment. They need to vent their suppressed emotions in real life. Fighting competitions are undoubtedly a very good outlet.

In addition, the previous competition between Qin Hao and Funakoshi Yizhen had a considerable impact, and that game also left many viewers feeling unsatisfied.

Now that there is such an event, it has naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Even though the game will be held in a month, the early tickets have been sold out, especially the finals and the "Tianwangshan Showdown" between the championship and Qin Hao have been sold at sky-high prices, with one ticket sold for Ten thousand US dollars, according to the prices of this period, you can buy a house in New York.

At the same time, fighters from various countries are also actively preparing for competitions during this period.

According to the public event rules, the competition will be held in an octagonal cage with a side length of 8 meters, a diameter of 9.14 meters on the opposite side, and a height of 2.8 meters. Many fighters even built an octagonal cage at the training ground to adapt to the environment in advance. .

In various martial arts gyms in Chinatown, many boxers who signed up for the competition are no longer keen on accepting apprentices, and have begun to practice in actual combat in order to achieve good rankings in the competition.
