Rebirth of the Soft Rice King

Page 1370

The dean is the dean, and the ideological realm is high.

Fang Tian asked strangely: "Dean Li, why did you come to look for me suddenly?"

Li Guodong said: "As the head of the National Chess Academy, Binhai holds a Go tournament, he must come here. Second, and the most important reason, I came here to see you."

"What's the matter?" Fang Tian asked.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Li Guodong said.

Fang Tian looked around, there was a small bamboo grove in front of the villa, there was a pavilion inside the bamboo grove, and there was a stone table inside the pavilion.

"Just here." Fang Tian pointed to the pavilion.

Li Guodong nodded, and then the two walked towards the pavilion.

Fang Tian hadn't had breakfast yet, so Chen Shanmei ordered the servant to bring the snacks over.

A white stone table and four stone benches.

Fang Tian sat down, looked at the opposite side and said directly: "Dean Li, to be honest, if you came here to invite me to join the national team to participate in the professional Go competition, then I advise you not to waste your saliva."

He had made it very clear on the phone before that Fang Tian didn't want to waste time on this issue.

Li Guodong looked around, and said: "Your family has a big career, I know you can't become a professional chess player. This time, I came here for another matter."

"Another thing?" Fang Tian didn't understand what else to talk about with Dean Li besides Go?

The servant came over with a tray and put snacks and fragrant tea in front of the two of them.

Li Guodong picked up the teacup and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the Samsung Cup and the Toyota Cup?"

"I've heard of it." Fang Tian said without hesitation: "Samsung Cup and Toyota Cup are world-class Go tournaments, sponsored by South Korea's Samsung and Japan's Toyota."

There are all kinds of sports events in the world, but it is rare to directly use the name of a company as the name of a world competition like Go.

1123 Chapter 1123 / Do you want to be a company like Samsung

Li Guodong ate a piece of crystal cake and said: "Actually, our country also has an international Go competition, which is also sponsored by the company. But this year, except for some problems, the cooperation with the sponsor has stopped. Sigh..."

He sighed: "Because of this, this year's Go tournament may not be held."

Fang Tian could vaguely guess his purpose, while eating the horseshoe cake, he said, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I hope you can sponsor the Go tournament." Li Guodong stated his purpose.

Fang Tian smiled and said, "I'm surprised, why did you find me? You and Mr. Jin are old friends, you can go to him. He is much richer than me."

"You think I haven't tried it?" Li Guodong smiled wryly, and said, "He's just a penny-pinching rooster. It's impossible for him to sponsor you."

Suddenly thought of someone, Fang Tian suggested: "You can go to Mr. Ouyang Beidou, he also has the financial resources."

"You think I didn't expect it, he has also looked for it." Li Guodong said: "He is willing to sponsor for a year, but he is not willing to continue to sponsor.

Like Samsung, LG, and Toyota, they have been sponsored for more than ten or twenty years, and they have been sponsored.Frequent name changes will affect the influence of the competition. "

Fang Tian understands that it is like the Samsung Cup. When one mentions the Samsung Cup, one knows that it is a world-class Go tournament. It has a long history and has a strong influence. Reduced.

Li Guodong said: "I hope that the sponsor can sponsor for more than 10 years, at least 5 years. But Ouyang Beidou felt that the time was too long, so he shook his head."

Fang Tiandao: "You can go to Wang Zichong, he also has the financial resources."

"Don't mention it, if he is willing, I don't have to worry about it." Li Guodong said helplessly.

After all, it means focusing on Ruanyun.

After thinking for a while while eating the crystal cake, Fang Tian said, "Sponsorship is not impossible. But as a businessman, I need to know, is such a sponsorship worthwhile?"

"Yes! Of course it is valuable." Li Guodong slapped his thigh, feeling hopeful.

Taking a sip of tea, Fang Tian said, "Let's listen."

Li Guodong said slowly: "Let me analyze it for you. First, your YY game platform is for chess and card games. Sponsoring the Go competition is very, very good for YY Games' brand!"

"Second, sponsoring the Go tournament is different from sponsoring other sports events. It directly uses your company's name as the name of the competition, such as the Samsung Cup and the LG Cup." This is also how the media reports on sports events.What is this equivalent to?It is equivalent to selling free advertisements in major media for your company! "

"Third, this is an international competition, and your products can be famous overseas. Look at Samsung, Samsung has sponsored various sports events for many years, and its brand is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Do you want your company to be like Samsung? ?”

Do it like Samsung?Fang Tian smiled, I still want to surpass Samsung!

"Is the sponsorship fee high?"

"Compared to sponsoring football and basketball, sponsoring a Go tournament is much cheaper."

It seems like a good choice to promote yy games.

Fang Tian was about to say yes, but suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Is this Go tournament held by our country world-class? Is it really influential?"

"Cough...cough..." Having said this, Li Guodong coughed twice, with a strange expression on his face...

Looking at his expression, Fang Tian can probably guess it.

"Dean Li, this event has no influence, what's the value of naming it?"

For sports games with great influence and a large number of followers, it is very simple for merchants to place advertisements in order to receive good results.

However, there is no influence, only a few "mosquitoes" pay attention to the game, so what's the value?Isn't this a scam?

Li Guodong took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "The Go tournament held by our National Chess Academy still has some influence. But, objectively speaking, it is incomparable with the Samsung Cup held in South Korea and the Toyota Cup held in Japan. , whether it is influence, fame, or attention, it is far behind."

"Why?" Fang Tian asked.

"There are many reasons for this." Li Guodong said: "But the main reason is that there is no strong corporate sponsorship. You can see that Samsung, LG, and Toyota in Japan are the title sponsors of the Go Tournament in South Korea. Let’s not talk about whether it is possible to find such a corporate sponsorship, even if they can find it, they are not willing to sponsor a Go tournament.”

Indeed, it is really difficult to find a sponsorship from a company like Samsung and Toyota in China at present.

Fang Tiandao: "But Ruanyun has not reached the level of Samsung and Toyota."

Li Guodong smiled and said: "Your company has grown so fast, maybe it will become a company like Samsung and Toyota in the future."

"How many years has the sponsorship been?"

"At least 5 to 10 years."

Fang Tian pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said, "I need to spend time thinking about it."

"It should." Li Guodong said, and added: "But I hope you can reply as soon as possible, because the Go tournament is about to start. If there is no sponsor, this year's tournament will be suspended."

Having said all that needed to be said, he got up to leave.
