Chapter 1531 Homeland League

"Wow, I almost forgot, today is the start of the Homeworld World Cup!" When the children saw the two huge robots around them, they all showed extremely excited expressions.

If there is any competition that will be the most popular in the world in 2040, it will definitely be the Home Combat Grand Prix, which has unparalleled super popularity.

When the home first appeared, it was actually just a fresh display item with no actual use value, and it was not used for competitions.

But later, as Jiangnan Group founded the Home Club and then attracted a series of rich people to play Homeland Fighting, the situation was different. Because the rich could not resist the huge pleasure brought by fighting with such giant mechanical creations.

I quickly became immersed in this brand new sport.

However, some people analyze that these rich people do not actually like this fighting sport itself, but because of the huge wealth that this sport represents. This is a sport that the top wealthy circles cannot play at all.

Because just to buy a home, the initial cost used to be as high as 5 billion US dollars.

Although later with the mass production, the cost of each homestead gradually dropped to about 1 billion US dollars, this is not something ordinary rich people can afford, and there are only twenty or thirty players in the world.

Some people may have said, there are thousands of people on the rich list with assets exceeding US$1 billion, how can it be possible that only twenty or thirty people can afford it?

Please, assets do not represent available liquidity. Even a wealthy person with a net worth of tens of billions may not have more than 100 million in liquidity in his account.

Not to mention that 1 billion is just the beginning, and a professional team of more than 50 people will need to be hired to maintain this home.

At the same time, it was announced that weapons restrictions would be lifted, allowing the use of missiles, machine guns and other modern weapons in the competition, and the driver must also sit in the cockpit to fight, but it is strictly prohibited to aim at the driver's position and fire weapons.

If we can turn it into a regular league and then sell the broadcast rights to external parties, although we will definitely not be able to recover the cost, we can still earn some maintenance fees at least!

Besides, who doesn’t want to be admired by the world for his heroic appearance in defeating his opponent?

So the Home Club directly held an internal meeting. After two months of discussions, it was decided to establish a new company called Home Sports, which would be responsible for the new Home Fighting operations.

Moreover, the time of these wealthy bosses is uncertain, and they may only have 2 to 3 days a year to participate in the game, but the league must start at a fixed time, which will inevitably lead to the arrangement of professional players to play the game.

For example, because of the addition of a returnee from China, football has become a national sport and is likely to replace table tennis.

The company that was running the previous competition still wanted to promote the birth of some star players.

It is expected that after the initial novelty is over, fighting with the huge home mechas is actually quite boring. Moreover, because of the live broadcast in front of a global audience and the safety of the driver, many modern weapons were originally used.

They are no longer allowed to be used, and only robots are allowed to fight using combat.

Huang Hui, who has been in the sports circle for decades, certainly knows what kind of sports matches the audience likes to watch the most, so he immediately started to reform the entire sports company.

At the critical moment, Huang He handed over the company to Huang Hui to run it. At this time, Huang Hui had just won the second World Cup championship. He could retire and realize his dream after winning another championship, so Huang He first took over the company.

The company handed over to Huang Hui to practice.

The investment ratio of the entire company is based on 20% of the Home Club, and the owners of other Home Mechas will equally share the shares to create the company, while the operating funds will collectively invest 2 billion U.S. dollars based on the share ratio as the initial operating capital.

.

The most important point is to abandon the company's original concept of so-called safety and peace, and directly change the company's external propaganda concept into war, machinery, and explosions.

Therefore, after five years of operation, the company almost announced the suspension of the competition. The advertising revenue from the competition could not even earn back the company's operating income.

If maintenance is carried out through the Home Club, the basic monthly maintenance cost will be as high as 10 million US dollars. If there is battle damage in the meantime, the maintenance cost will be difficult to estimate.

There is nothing wrong with this in itself. Just like traditional sports, if a star player like Jordan or Maradona appears, the market impact on the entire game will be very terrifying.

What's more critical is that in the operation competition, the previous operation club and operation players have become the operation home itself.

With an operating capital of 2 billion, the entire league spread at an unimaginable speed. Following the huge wave caused by the eight leaked videos on the Internet, Home Sports took the opportunity to announce that it would hold a Home Fighting Competition in Feilengcui.

However, the initial effect of the competition was not very good. Although the ratings of the first season reached the top, the ratings declined year by year in the following years.

Although many people criticized this as a waste of wealth by the rich, more people desperately urged the candid photographer to quickly upload more videos, directly occupying the top 20 positions on major video websites.

.

But there is a problem with the Home Mecha, that is, its driver is not a professional sports player, but the wealthy bosses of various groups themselves. These people are too selfish in their behavior, and most of them don't like to expose themselves at all.

Yes, they even expressed resistance and opposition to the company's propaganda.

They suddenly realized that their own entertainment actually had extremely high commercial value.

So this has always been a game for the rich. It has been developed for about 10 years and has been limited to a very small circle. Until due to an accident, someone secretly filmed the video of this fighting and spread it to the Internet. As a result, one day

Within a short period of time, it attracted more than 10 million clicks, and later sparked heated discussions around the world.

Therefore, as long as the candid photographer is discovered quickly, he will be kicked out, but the rich are all guys with extremely keen sense of smell.

However, the games in the first few years were still very traditional, using modern technical means to broadcast all-round battles in Feilengcui. At the same time, the owners of each home established corresponding clubs to compete in the league system.

This will lead to a situation where there may be many different players controlling a mecha. If players are still the target of promotion, it would be too fucked up.

So Huang Hui waved his hand and announced directly that the focus of publicity would be on the Home Mecha, and no publicity would be given to the pilots in the Mecha. All achievements and failures belonged to Home and the people behind them.

The driver has nothing to do with it.

This is a bit like the former virtual blogger. The focus of publicity is on the holster. As for the person under the holster, it has nothing to do with the audience.

Under such a publicity strategy, the Home League gradually opened up the market and created many superstar homes. The number of fans of many home social accounts exceeded 100 million, and the entire league was a great success.

It only took 5 years for the league to go from being on the verge of bankruptcy to becoming the most watched league in the world. This year, the first World Cup League was launched. The strongest homeland produced by each country will be
Chapter completed!
