Chapter 849

One day in July 1995, an amazing news exploded, that is, Jia Jiayue and Daqian Group signed an all-round image endorsement agreement. Daqian group announced that Jia Jiayue would become the super image ambassador of Daqian group and would speak for all products of Daqian group.

This news may not be much. It is normal for a star to become the spokesman of a commercial group. Chinese people are used to such news.

However, the next news broke out, which made people a little uncomfortable. According to mysterious insiders, Jia Jiayue's endorsement cost was as high as 200 million yuan this time!

Yes, that's right. In order to sign Jia Jiayue, the image ambassador, Daqian group spent 200 million yuan at one go.

This news shocked my mother instantly. No, it shocked everyone's mother in China. For a moment, all the media and news were discussing the authenticity of this sky high endorsement fee, which virtually made Daqian and Jia Jiayue earn a huge heat.

This is two hundred million. In that era, just like this era, you heard that Lu Han took 10 billion endorsement fee, which shocked me. I love her.

The real situation is: this thing is really true. Daqian group did pay Jia Jiayue 200 million endorsement fee, and Jia Jiayue even paid various taxes such as personal income tax.

However, in boss Jia's words, this is not a endorsement fee, but the pocket money given by my brother to my two sisters. If I really ask my sister to endorse, it will start and end at 200 million yuan, at least 20 billion yuan.

Boss Jia was right to say so, but then Jia Jiayue and Jia Jiafeng worked hard to shoot a series of promotional films for Daqian group, and then the sales volume of Daqian group did increase a lot, not much, about 3%.

However, we must not underestimate this 3%. With the current scale of Daqian group in China and the sales volume of 3%, it is also a profit of at least 300 million.

With these trivial things, time slowly came to August 1, 1995. This day is a memorable day for Daqian group, because three major events happened on this day.

First, in Paris, Europe, the first leg of the Pokemon global Championship began. As the first leg of the Pokemon global championship, boss Jia naturally allowed no loss. He made his own private plane and worked hard to fly to Paris, France to participate in the opening ceremony of this leg.

In fact, for this Pokemon world championship, the senior executives of Daqian group basically disagree, because they can't see the significance of such a game.

Or where are the profits!

Yes, this Pokemon global Championship really sounds very strange. It actually introduced video games to the world as a kind of sports, and also launched a huge global championship, but it has no profit at all!

You said you could increase the sales of Pokemon, but the problem is that under the painstaking management of boss Jia, Pokemon itself has become one of the most famous video games in the world. Everyone knows it, but at least 14 children all over the world know Pokemon, which is very famous, This global championship is at best icing on the cake.

You said, no, 34 children don't know Pokemon? If these children can buy Pokemon, they can make a lot of money!

That's because 12 of them are located in underdeveloped third world countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. Even if these children know Pokemon, they can't afford to buy expensive video game cassettes.

For the remaining 14, most people are not interested in video games, and you can't get many customers.

More importantly, although this Pokemon global championship is a grand event for Pokemon players, it has no interest for people other than Pokemon players. I haven't even heard of it.

It is almost impossible to expect these viewers to break the circle to understand Pokemon.

So when the senior management held a meeting to discuss this matter, more than half of the senior management gently persuaded boss Jia not to spend money on such a thing that was destined to lose money.

Finally, boss Jia successfully persuaded the executives. At that time, boss Jia said, "the cost of the whole global championship is only $5 million, just a little money!"

"Cough, five million dollars, a little money..." hearing this, all the senior executives immediately closed their mouths.

Yes, it's only $5 million. As long as your boss is interested, you can drive it. Anyway, Daqian has been holding 4WD competition, and the effect is good. At least the 4WD enthusiasts in China are stable at the scale of tens of millions of people, and can give tens of billions of profits every year. Maybe this global championship is really an opportunity.

The fact also hit the faces of these senior executives. When boss Jia arrived in Paris, the whole game scene could not be described as a grand occasion. It was the scene of the World Cup final.

Because the budget given by boss Jia is only $5 million, of which $2 million will be thrown out, it is impossible for Daqian group to rent any top venues for the competition.

When it was estimated that only a few thousand players would come to the competition, Daqian rented the conference room of a large hotel in Paris as the venue of the competition.

This conference can accommodate 600 players at the same time, and a complete duel takes about 10-20 minutes, so Daqian thinks this venue is enough.

But the day before the competition, when the organizing committee got the number of participants, the whole organizing committee was stupid, because the number of participants finally signed up was as high as more than 20000, which made the whole organizing committee stupid.

Although the total number of players who signed up for the Paris race through various channels was as high as 500000, the organizing committee thought that this number was too empty because the registration conditions and channels were too easy.

As long as you make a phone call, you can complete the registration. Anyone can sign up for the competition on a whim. The most remarkable thing is that 13 of the players who signed up for the Paris station are American. They are going to fly across the ocean to participate in the competition!

When the real competition is held, the contestants need to spend a lot of energy and money. At this time, the reality will knock down these enthusiastic contestants.

In view of this situation, the organizing committee has specially set up a sign in system for the competition. Players can sign in at the competition place 10 days in advance, but they can arrive at the sign in place the day before the competition at the latest, and then sign their names.

Only after completing the check-in will they not be officially confirmed to join the competition, so that a large number of playful contestants can be excluded, the real quality of contestants can be known, and detailed planning depends on this number.

The idea itself is completely correct without any mistakes. Only when the organizing committee saw that the number of participants exceeded 20 million in the eight days of signing in, and directly exceeded 10000 on the ninth day, the whole organizing committee collapsed before the tenth day.

How could a mere 600 person conference room accommodate 30000 people to participate in the competition!
