I haven't been a boss for many years

Page 338

Ma Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, "Brother Bin, don't you bully me? The bully little Ma Wang can't lift his head up, and can't go to the clock at night. Poor service from the horse leads to bad business in the stable, and the loss is the company. .”

"I usually collect bets, open the stables, and everything else is right. There must be no bad things, right?" He was also beating the drums in his heart. In the world, there are many bad things that come to his door.

Zhang Guobin smiled lightly and said, "Haha, Brother Ma Wang, don't be afraid."

"I heard that you recently had a young man who is very famous. What's his name, Ale? You call him over and have a chat. I want to make his business bigger. If he does well, I'll give him a big shot!"

"It's been a year since He Yihai held the appointment ceremony, and the brothers all feel that the bosses don't give newcomers a chance to stand out, so you can ask him if he is willing to stand up!"

Zhang Guobin's tone was arrogant.

Ma Wang was overjoyed when he heard the words, he quickly took out his big brother and said, "Good thing, good thing, I'll call Ah Le to see you right away."

Zhang Guobin exhaled white mist and flicked the soot.

Ma Wang dialed out the phone number, and when the call was connected, he immediately shouted: "Ah Le, come to Hutchison Building, Grandpa wants to see you!"

"Hurry up! Grandpa wants to give you a chance to be in charge!"

Kowloon.

Temple Street.

In a rented room, Lin Changle lay sleepy on the bed, suddenly came back to his senses and lifted the quilt, put on his shoes and coat, picked up a key of the Crown car, opened the door and rushed out.

"Le Shao."

"Le Shao."

In the corridor, the boxers' managers in several rings were holding the night's match list, and they happened to come to Lin Changle to have a look. Seeing Lin Changle rushing out in a hurry, his expression was very surprised.

Lin Changle didn't have the time to explain to them, he just said: "Grandfather wants to see me!"

Shocked expressions appeared on the faces of several boxer managers. A little Sijiu who could be summoned by Grandpa was often a signal that he wanted to take over.

Otherwise, grandpa has a lot of opportunities every day, so I have time to see you, a bad boy?

However, Lin Changle has grown the boxing business from scratch in just half a year, and his ability has convinced his brothers.

His superior brothers all recognize him.

Zhang Guobin was sitting in the office, but instead of waiting for a little Sijiu, he left Ma Wang aside and started processing the documents directly.

He only drank coffee when he was free, and ordered casually: "Introduce Lin Changle."

Chapter 463

Ma Wang coughed twice, lowered his water glass, and replied after hearing the words: "Lin Changle joined the club in 83. He was in the rivers and lakes in 79. He was the first to lend money in the Jiulong boxing ring. Afterwards, Xiao Daowen died in the bloodshed of the city wall, and Lin Changle officially worshiped Yihai."

"It seems that the background is quite clean." Zhang Guobin nodded slightly.

"However, Lin Changle's father, Lin Huaishan, was the third generation owner of the Changle Society." Ma Wang said again: "The Changle Society was established in 63. At its peak, there were more than 68 people, entrenched in the South District of Central.”

"Later, in 72, Yiqun had an accident, and the Changle Club was in trouble again and again. On the one hand, it was surrounded by the police, and on the other hand, it was coveted by the Jianghu. In the end, the name of the Changle Club was erased in 77, and the name was removed from the Jianghu."

"Most of the Changle club's territory was taken over by the number gang. Lin Huaishan, who was sitting in the club, was shot during a police siege. At that time, Lin Changle was already 15 years old."

Zhang Guobin asked playfully: "It seems that Lin Changle is still from the Jianghu family, holding the script of Zhao's orphan?"

Ma Wang smiled: "Some brothers call him Le Shao, but if you want to talk about the Jianghu family, it doesn't matter. The Changle Club has a history of 14 years. Although there have been years of prestige, the name is not too big. , Ah Le didn’t do well in the Walled City before, and three meals a day was a problem, and he made a name for himself in the company, does he have a future.”

"We still have to wait for a word from Brother Bin."

Zhang Guobin did not pretend to speak, and said in a calm tone: "The company needs young people who are capable and willing to contribute to the company."

"Boss, Mr. Lin is here." The female secretary pushed open the glass door, wearing a hip skirt, bowed and spoke.

"Ask him to come in." Zhang Guobin replied loudly.

A young boy in gray sweatpants, blue denim jacket, messy hair, and some eye dropsy walked in the door, saw the figure sitting behind the desk, and immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "He Yihai Sijiu Lin Chang is happy to see you!" Pass Grandpa!"

Zhang Guobin looked at the young man, approvingly: "Ma Wang, your horse is not bad, it looks very capable."

Ma Wang stood beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother Bin, I'm so honored, be careful of the young man's cocking his tail."

Lin Changle kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and stood quietly with his fists folded. He Yihai had a strict internal hierarchy, which was far superior to ordinary Jianghu clubs. There would never be a scene where four or nine boys and grandpa were laughing and fighting with each other in a small club. However, Zhang Guobin personally has always been accommodating and polite to others, but the hierarchy has long been spontaneously maintained by the hall masters.

Lin Changle is not tall, at most 1.7 meters, and his figure is a bit thin, but his childlike eyes are very deep, his eyebrows are high, and his facial features are very handsome.

However, his face has more vicissitudes than his peers, his skin is tanned, and his eye bags are light blue.

Such a handsome and majestic appearance gives people an unusual sense at first glance, and the vicissitudes of the cheeks easily make people feel pity. It can be seen that Lin Changle has gone through a long period of hard times, and the young man has suffered from wind and frost.

Zhang Guobin knows that this kind of people who have experienced ups and downs when they are young are often more determined than ordinary people, and they are easy to get things done, but they are often difficult to control, with the characteristics of arrogance and arbitrariness.

Fortunately, Zhang Guobin didn't need to respect Lin Changle's opinion at all.

"Your name is A Le, right?" He stood up and walked to the sofa seat in the reception area, beckoning, and called Ma Wang, and A Le came and sat down.

Handing out a cigar to Ale, Ale quickly bowed and took it with both hands.

"I heard from Ma Wang, have you ever studied at the Emperor's College?" Zhang Guobin asked, looking at the school with his eyes on the school, Ale replied politely: "Grandpa Bing, I have studied at the Emperor's College for two years. dropout."

"Hey! It doesn't matter whether you have graduated or not. Education doesn't mean ability. The key is whether you have the heart to do things for the company."

"You run the underground boxing ring very well. I heard that the betting amount for a boxing match has exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars?"

A Le humbly said: "Brother Songla gave me face in that match. He went off to fight against the Western Hercules himself. In the end, he overthrew the foreign gold belt champion. He was upset in one fell swoop!"

In this match, the boxing dealer actually tried to steal chickens. For example, instead of publicizing Song La's reputation as a "Muay Thai coach" in the club, he hyped up the American gold belt of the Western Hercules.

Although Song La was given the title of "Boxer", Song La appeared as a challenger. He had previously fought in underground boxing rings, and he and Yi Hai's brothers recognized the title of "Boxer", saying that "Teacher", but the gambling dogs outside the club don't recognize it!

No matter how you analyze it, Western Hercules are stronger.

The gimmick of using "Chinese" to challenge "Western Hercules" in boxing competitions has not changed for 100 years, and I believe it will not change after 100 years.

The public is keen to see Chinese martial artists fighting Western strongmen, and the fighting becomes more and more ruthless. It doesn't matter whether they are Chinese martial artists or not.

Hammer Western Hercules will do!

Zhang Guobin also likes to watch it!

However, there is still a difference between dog betting and the audience. According to various technical analysis, there are often more Western fighters. According to special statistics, every time a "Chinese and Western" fist fight starts, the number of people who beat Western fighters exceeds that of Chinese fighters by 30.00%. From the above, it can be seen that the war and history have already given Chinese people a kind of "hate" towards the West. At the same time, the "power" of the West has become a stereotype.

Therefore, it is useless to beat foreigners in the arena alone.

However, every time "Zhongxi" opens a casino, it can make a lot of money.

This is the iron law that has continued from the era of Jiulong boxing to the present.

Zhang Guobin smoked a cigar and said with approval: "I understand business operations, it's normal."

"Foreign boxing matches are even more extreme, but as long as there is money to be made, I called you here today to inform you of something. Don't do underground boxing matches."

Cai Jinping only said that the rumors were tight and he wanted the brothers in the venue to pay attention, but Zhang Guobin decided to turn off the underground boxing ring directly.

Although, he can definitely hold one, change another place, and continue to run the underground boxing competition.

But is he necessary?

The original idea of ​​the underground boxing competition in his mind was to move it to the TV screen, but Asia has no experience in boxing competitions, so he simply asked Lin Changle to hold an underground boxing competition to accumulate experience. Now that the boxing competition can become popular, It means that Lin Changle has this talent.

It just so happens that the wind is tight, so why hesitate?

Closed!

Ma Wang was the first to be taken aback, and said in shock: "Brother Bin, now Boxing Arena is the most profitable of all underground gambling stalls, wouldn't it be a pity to close it hastily?"

"A boxing match can earn the company at least 5000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars every year, and the risk is not high. Even if you are caught by the police once, you will lose more than a dozen people."

"Is there a policeman looking for trouble?" Ma Wang realized something was wrong.

Zhang Guobin moved his fingers in turn, tapped the armrest of the sofa, tapped Erlang's leg, and exhaled smoke: "I can't say that I don't want to start the underground boxing competition, and I didn't say that I couldn't continue to gamble. First of all, no one has been killed in the underground boxing competition for half a year." It sounds nice, but the underground boxing ring is all about fists!"

"It's violence!"

"I'm sure that if we continue to drive, people will die within two years, and there will be no difference between Yihai's underground boxing ring and Nine Dragons boxing ring within five years!"

"The day I promised you that I would start the boxing competition, I never wanted to start the Nine Dragons boxing competition. The kind of place where fighters' lives are exchanged for money is only played by cockroaches and mice in the walled city. I, Zhang Guobin, can't play it, let alone I don't even bother to play." He felt that if the boxing ring was held like that, it would undoubtedly be a naked insult to him!

Obviously there is a more advanced way to play, but you choose the lowest level, and your suit will be dirty by you.

"Secondly, underground boxing is just a way to gamble. To make the gamble bigger, the best way is not to rely on big water pipes, but to get more and more people to gamble."

Zhang Guobin said: "I plan to put the underground boxing ring on ATV's wireless channel, and send signals to Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangzhou for free during adult hours in the evening. At that time, not only people in Xiangjiang will be able to gamble, but people in Haojiang, Shencheng, and Taiwan Island will be able to gamble." You can also play."

"Put, put, put the boxing fight on the TV show?" Ma Wang's tone was surprised, feeling unbelievable.It is obviously an underground business, how can it be moved to the open?

Zhang Guobin smiled and educated: "Why not? You and I are both serious businessmen now. We have a TV station and a boxer management company in our hands. Pop! What do you add together?"

"It's TV boxing!"

WWE, the "World Wrestling Entertainment Company", which is popular in Europe and the United States, was established in the United States as early as 1955. Various fighting competitions are also common in foreign countries. However, most of the boxing competitions are still focused on offline. , It was only in the 80s that it became popular, and WWE was not as prosperous as the later generations.

Because the economic levels of different regions are different, and the penetration rate of TV is different. Boxing programs in the mainland only started in the 00s, and the representative is the UFC model "Wulin Style".

Xiangjiang's brokerage level and TV penetration rate are far ahead in Asia. In 86, he could start playing TV boxing.

"If you don't play high-level ones, go play low-level ones, and you'll be a tester for the rest of your life!" Zhang Guobin scolded, "So, is there any problem if I turn off the underground boxing ring?"

"No problem, Brother Bin!" Ma Wang's eyes lit up when he heard that "Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Shenzhen" are open for gambling. Compared with the big business that spreads across three islands and one city, what is underground boxing?

It's fun!

Zhang Guobin nodded and said: "If there is no problem, I will let the people from ATV plan the TV program, and you can use the phone to bet to collect the code, Ale!"

"The Boxer Brokerage Company entrusts you with the person in charge, and it's called Yihai Fighting Entertainment Company. If it's done well, after two years, I'll give you a red stick!"

Zhang Guobin picked up the teacup in front of him, drank a sip of tea, and spoke very domineeringly.

This is the same as the Jockey Club. It does not engage in gambling, but only engages in some programs to entertain the citizens.

Chapter 464 Tan Zhang fights for hegemony, the match starts

Ma Wang went downstairs and sat in the car, looked at the face in the rearview mirror, reminded emphatically, and said, "Ale, this business is very important to Brother Bing, and I want you to be in charge of the Boxing Brokerage Company."

"Be sure to do well."

Lin Changle sat in the back row, with his waist straight, and he replied with a heavy face, "Okay, Brother Mawang!"

If it wasn't for the business that Bingge valued, Bingge would never have personally intervened. What's more, which of the companies that Boss Zhang planned was not a big hit?

Letting a four or nine boy in charge of a company alone is definitely a prelude to vigorous promotion. Ma Wang even said: "If you do a good job, you will have the opportunity to get double bonuses!"

This is a gambling market with three islands and one city, and Ma Wang was very excited.Lin Changle put his hands flat on his legs, but clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his flesh!

The boxing show that Zhang Guobin wants to put on has the same effect as the Taiwan TV variety show, but the kitchen reality show of Boss Yang's kitchen, playing mahjong and playing cards is really childish.

The ratings and influence of boxing shows are undoubtedly several times, dozens of times higher than reality shows.

A week later.

The Yihai Boxing Entertainment Department was established, and the thirty-odd boxers previously signed under Tangkou's banner were all transferred to the Boxing Entertainment Department and became the first batch of contracted boxers.

This step was done very smoothly. For the fighters, the appearance fee was paid and the bonus was paid. Boxing shows are much better than underground boxing.

At the same time, Zhang Guobin held a Heyi meeting in the Guangming Photo Hall, announced the new boxing business to Heyi No. 24, and agreed that No. 24 would establish its own boxing entertainment department.

When the ATV fighting competition starts broadcasting, all brands can send boxers to participate in the competition. What's the point of playing with just one company?

Let's play together!

The audience is only happy when they watch it, and it's exciting when they fight. There are enough new blood and fighters...

Promoting the scale of the Xiangjiang boxing competition can also drive the small-scale brands to go upright, and achieve multiple results in one fell swoop. At the same time, it is stipulated that the underground betting of the Xiangjiang boxing competition can only be carried out in Yihai Company. The game accepts live betting.

It can be regarded as a small profit.

A month later.

Li Da personally came to the Hutchison Building to report, and submitted the information, saying: "Zhang Sheng, the program plan for "World Mixed Martial Arts Competition" has been completed, using a competitive and entertaining method, and Mr. La Song will be the chief referee. , director of martial arts, Wang Jing, Mr. Huang Baiming served as the director and assistant director...."

Because ATV is regulated by regulations, the title of the program can only be "Asia" at the head, but Zhang Guobin relied on money transactions to get the program name approved.

Zhang Guobin thinks that fighting competitions really want to be promoted. They must be bloody and funny, and they must have enough dramatic effects.

Otherwise, there will be fights every day, there will be no hot spots, and the audience will be prone to aesthetic fatigue. The reason why WWE can become popular and prosperous is because it can make troubles.

Not only do boxing rings be divided into several types, such as unlimited fighting, iron cage fighting, etc., but also often play tricks of rushing out of the ring to hit the audience, grabbing the referee, and knocking down the company president with one punch. These tricks look very funny. But it can really mobilize the audience's emotions and make the ratings soar.

A very important point is that only a script can create an exciting and intense game, and a game without a script is more boring and boring.

Boxers only know how to fight, they don't know how to act, and they don't know what the audience likes to watch.
