Chapter nine hundred and eighty fourth reluctance
Arnold Lagardale now has the urge to throw Robert Larson into the Atlantic to feed crabs. The most taboo thing on the negotiating table is to expose the trump card.
No matter how the negotiations are, as long as the contract is not signed, everything may change. This time he went to Yanjing in person and was already passive. Now Robert Larson shows such an attitude again, is he afraid that Oriental Sports will not slap Lagardele Sports hard?
Even Arnold Lagardale was a little suspicious that the reason why the North American Lagardale Publishing Group was so passive and even expelled from the North American Publishing Association Council was completely the cunning guys of the Duke League who were using Robert Larson to jump out to test Chen Chu, and in the end they took the blame!
In fact, Duke League did use Robert Larson's intentions, but the most important thing was Robert Larson. The fact that he did was indescribable. On that occasion, several major publishing giants, ONYX Technology, and Barnes and Noble Books were restrained. As a result, Robert Larson jumped out and was pushed into a living target.
It has to be said that the big cake given by Chen Chu and Cao Guowei did attract Arnold Lagardale. Now Lagardale Sports urgently needs a breakthrough point!
If Lagardele Sports can get rid of the current situation of high reputation and low profits, but only gimmicks but no profits. If we can cooperate with Oriental Sports and make profits quickly, then Lagardele Sports may be able to open up the situation.
"It is not easy to get the certification of the IAAF and the International Marathon and Road Running Association of China. The interests involved are very complex. Not only can you hold events in China, but it involves the coordination of the entire marathon series, the mobilization of participants, and the broadcast of TV stations. In addition, the cost of holding events is a complex project!" Arnold Lagardale said to Chen Chu.
He took the water cup from the side, dipped his fingers a little water and transformed a straight line on the table, "Lagardale Sports is responsible for foreign affairs, and Oriental Sports is responsible for domestic affairs. I believe in the strength of Arnold Lagardale Sports!"
"As you said, this is an opportunity. Excluding all expenditures, the profitable part of Lagardere Sports and Oriental Sports are obtained together!" Chen Chu said directly.
"This is the beginning. In the next five or even ten years, or longer, Oriental Sports will be a collaborator of Lagardale Sports, and Oriental Sports will also be an agent to help distribute the copyright of the event in Lagardale Sports' hands!"
Looking at Arnold Lagardale, Chen Chu said slowly, this is a promise. In the future, Oriental Sports will become a collaborator of Lagardale Sports in Asia.
The reason why he chose Lagardeal Sports was to give a 50% share plan. Chen Chu valued not only the huge sports copyright in Lagardeal Sports, but also the relationship between Lagardeal and major international sports event managers, and the ability to attract advertising sponsorship!
Even if you are unwilling to admit it, you have to admit that Lagardele Sports has a very good relationship with major international sports sponsors. If Lagardele Sports is responsible for advertising sponsorship, the advertising revenue is much higher than that of the sponsors found by Oriental Sports.
"Five-year cooperation period!"
Arnold Lagardale said a number, "Oriental Sports must sign an exclusive cooperation agreement with Lagardale Sports for no less than five years. During this period, it cannot cooperate with other third-party sports copyright operators!"
"Lagardale Sports will try to hand over the rights to host international marathons, international tennis, golf tours and other events to Oriental Sports, but Oriental Sports must ensure the quality of the event and the issue of bonuses. The domestic broadcasting rights of these events are handled by Oriental Network, and the overseas broadcasting rights are handled by Lagardale Sports!"
Arnold Lagardale directly called out a five-year cooperation period. If possible, he even wanted to sign a ten-year cooperation period directly, but he was afraid that Oriental Sports would be a pitfall, so he signed a five-year cooperation agreement. Whether it is a sports company or a sports event, it is a watershed. If it can be developed, it will become popular, and if it cannot be developed, it will stop.
"Whether Oriental Net wants to get the right to host six major competitions in marathon, tennis, golf, racing, boxing, and bicycles, Lagardale Sports is responsible for recruiting overseas sponsors for these events!" Arnold Lagardale is welcome, and Chen Chu also spoke out loudly.
He asked Arnold Lagardale for a series of events such as the International Cycling Race, Emerging Boxing League UF, International Auto Championship, Formula Renault and the 24-hour Motorcycle Competition. Arnold Lagardale's face turned dark.
No matter how powerful he is, it cannot be related to all the official events. There are many people who dislike him, and there are not many people who are stumbling on him.
But finally, except for the international cycling races, tennis opens, and f1 events, the other UFs, Formula Renault, International Auto Championships, etc. are all new events and are in the promotion stage. There is not much difficulty in proposing cooperation at this time.
But to talk about attracting international brand sponsors for these events, Lagardere Sports needs to guarantee it with its own reputation. After all, which sponsors of those international brands are stupid? If the event is not successful, let alone increasing brand awareness, you may have to ruin your brand.
This is also the reason why many old sports events are desperately sponsored by major brands, but no one pays attention to emerging sports events.
"Yes!" Arnold Lagardale thought for a while, but agreed. The key was that there was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. Apart from Oriental.com, there was no other suitable partner.
CCTV is OK, but it is impossible to expect CCTV to cooperate with Lagardele Sports to have so many projects. Unless Arnold Lagardele is willing to give CCTV free broadcast rights, maybe there may be some possibility.
In the lounge of the low-altitude flight club, Chen Chu, Cao Guowei, and Arnold Lagardele talked for an afternoon and determined the scope of cooperation between Oriental Sports and Lagardele Sports, as well as the obligations of cooperation between the two parties, including the resources they invested, the profit sharing, etc.
Oriental Sports will also be independent from Oriental.com, and independently become a professional sports operation company from its previous sports business!
"President Arnold, you can travel in Yanjing for a few more days, and you may fall in love with it!" Chen Chu said to Arnold Lagardale before leaving.
Arnold Lagardale nodded, "I know, but this time I'm afraid there's no chance. I'm out in a hurry this time. After signing the agreement, I have to go to Washington to discuss the publishing of Lagardale in North America with Duke. In addition, there are still things to deal with in Paris!"
Arnold Lagardale didn't say clearly that he was afraid that he would go back too late, and the board and shareholders who had ill-thought about Lagardale Group would cause some trouble. He had to go back and watch the old guys to avoid the nest being stolen!
While leaving, Arnold Lagardale mentioned another sentence and then took Robert Lar to the Low Flying Club.
Chen Chu watched Arnold Lagardale leave and looked at Arnold Lagardale's back. He didn't know if the rumors were wrong, or whether Arnold Lagardale has changed his temperament now. It is rumored that this famous diamond five in Europe has a bad temper and a tough personality, but this time he feels a little tolerant.
You can see some clues from the direct withdrawal of the automobile manufacturing business and plunged into the sports industry. However, this is why there are many conflicts between Arnold Lagardele and the board of directors that originally controlled the Lagardele Group.
From automobile manufacturing, aviation satellites, and precision machinery to sports and entertainment, the huge transformation of the Lagardale Group represents the will of Arnold Lagardale, but it also completely split the Lagardale Group. The original old shareholders and Arnold Lagardale were almost inconsistent.
What Chen Chu didn't know was that Arnold Lagardele's character has changed dramatically in the past two years. Two years ago, he was also full of energy and aggressive, maintaining his style as a top European young man, but now he feels like he is trapped in a quagmire.
The revenue of Lagardale Group has stagnated. The loss-making Matra Automotive business two years ago has restored Lagardale Group to its vitality, but in the past two years, Arnold Lagardale has no other achievements. The board of directors and shareholders have been under increasing pressure on Arnold Lagardale, which has made his personality constantly change. If it were Arnold Lagardale two years ago, he might be more ostentatious than Robert Larson!
After arriving outside, Chen Chu saw more than fifty helicopters soaring into the air under the afterglow of the setting sun, raising an astonishing momentum. Looking at the helicopter group whizzing past and making waves of sounds, Cao Guowei, who was not interested in these things, felt his blood boiling.
These helicopters must be placed in the hangar. For low-altitude flight clubs, these are the most important things. They are reluctant to let the wind and rain. It is now summertime, and the night rain is very frequent, otherwise the maintenance fee will be a considerable amount every year.
Tourists who entered the low-altitude flight club and had test drives all stood outside the isolation line and watched this scene, making waves of amazement from time to time. This is also one of the current landscapes of the low-altitude flight club. Many people came here to watch this scene. Compared to watching on the TV, they just listened to some noise. Only at the scene can they understand the industrial shock of this flying machine!
It was not until the helicopters flew away one after another, and flew towards the hangar guarded by professionals and flew away from the training ground of the flight club ten kilometers away from the flight club and the low-altitude flight club returned to its original state.
Many people who came to visit and those who experienced helicopters today were excited to talk about their experience today. Generally, parents came with their children as if they were traveling. Now they went to the restaurant of the Flying Club to experience dinner. The food in the low-altitude Flying Club was made according to the food standards of the flight team, and many people who came wanted to experience it.
Rebirth and rise against the current
