Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"sponsor??"

Hua Haibo was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem? Hai Bo."

"The problem is not a problem. Bidding for the Olympics is a national event, but it also requires a series of sponsorships. But because the exposure is relatively low, the sponsors are not very interested. We actually set up a special one here before. A group that solicited sponsorship, but in the end it fell apart.”

What Hua Haibo said is true. For them, it is really unrealistic to solicit sponsorship now.

It is understandable that bidding for the Olympics requires a large amount of funds.

But what is the purpose of people sponsoring you? Naturally, you want to have more exposure, right?

But now!

The current situation of the Olympic bid is very complicated, and the certainty of the Beijing Olympic bid is only about 30%.

Once it fails, it means that the sponsorship is basically in vain.

This is why Hua Haibo burst into laughter. He did not expect Zhou Pengcheng to take the initiative to mention sponsorship.

"This is normal." Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile, "I won't hide my plan from you. I just want to take a gamble and succeed in the Olympic bid."

"Pengcheng, do you know what our current prediction success rate is?" Hua Haibo looked at Zhou Pengcheng and asked.

"How many?"

"Less than 30%. Currently, the biggest competitors have a lot of experience in large-scale events. But we basically have no experience in this area. In addition, some countries and regions deliberately do not want us to succeed, so the success rate this time is Maybe it’s not high.”

Hua Haibo spoke earnestly, and his purpose was also very simple. He felt that Zhou Pengcheng's so-called sponsorship at this time was basically wasted.

"Less than 30%?" Liao Fan was stunned, "Pengcheng, I think Hai Bo is right. If it is really less than 30%, wouldn't your sponsorship be in vain?"

"Yes, Pengcheng. I am in the Olympic bid committee, and I know some situations better than you. Of course, we are not without hope, but our current judgment is that the hope is relatively small. So I must remind you that some things can Do it, but don't be impulsive." Hua Haibo looked at Zhou Pengcheng and reminded him again.

"Since it's a bet, it's natural to bet big." Zhou Pengcheng said cheerfully.

"This is not impossible, but I have to make it clear to you. In fact, from my personal point of view, if it is really successful, I will also be one of the contributors. I look forward to the success of this Olympic bid more than you do. I have been here for several years, and I have paid a lot..." Hua Haibo said in a low voice.

"I think the probability of success is at least 50%." Zhou Pengcheng said cheerfully.

"You are quite confident." Hua Haibo said angrily.

"Our country has the largest population in the world, and the current economic development is gradually improving. The posture of a superpower is also slowly emerging. The International Olympic Committee wants to continue to expand the influence of the Olympic Games, so it will naturally take this into consideration. This It’s something invisible…”

"You are right, but these people from the International Olympic Committee are all Westerners. They seem to have some kind of prejudice against us in their bones!"

"Hai Bo, I don't agree with you on this point. Eastern culture has the characteristics of Eastern culture. In fact, many Westerners also want to see the infinite charm of our great Eastern country. As for the competitors you just mentioned, I actually don't think they are necessarily true. It’s very strong…”

"why?"

"Think about it. Although the Asian financial crisis in the past two years hurt Southeast Asia the most, it actually had a very strong impact on the Western economy. Take the Rooster Country, their financial situation is not stable. Even some People think that hosting the Olympics will cause more financial problems, but we are using the strength of the whole country..."

Zhou Pengcheng's meaning is very obvious. Attitude often determines many things.

It's just that people like Hua Haibo are not confident enough in themselves!

Hua Haibo just shrugged and said: "I can't tell you this, I can only see the final result. But I still stick to my point of view. I think this time it will be very difficult..."

"Hai Bo, what you think is not unreasonable. That's why I said, I want to take a gamble this time. If it is really confirmed, I believe it may not be my turn by then."

Zhou Pengcheng looked at Hua Haibo, and he also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, if you want to give me money, I don't think there is any reason why you are not welcome?" Hua Haibo was amused, but he was still a little curious and said: "I said Pengcheng, you are definitely not doing it for yourself, right?"

"Well, it is indeed not for myself, but for a newly established company in my hometown." Zhou Pengcheng looked at Hua Haibo and said.

"A newly established company? What kind of company?" Hua Haibo asked with a smile.

"It's a clothing company. Of course, there's also an electric bicycle company I own in the Economic Development Zone..." Zhou Pengcheng looked at Hua Haibo.

"Electric bicycle? What is this?" Hua Haibo was stunned.

"To put it simply, it is similar to a small moped, but it uses a battery to generate electricity."

"Let me go, are there still such enterprises? Is there a market? Bicycles are very popular now, and motorcycles are becoming more and more popular. You are trying to destroy both industries. ? But I think it’s quite difficult..." Hua Haibo said with a slight smile.

"If it wasn't too difficult, I wouldn't want to do it." Zhou Pengcheng said cheerfully, "Motorcycles burn oil and cause more pollution. Bicycles, although they are green, are not fast enough. I think there is some market for it. …”

"Anyway, the things in your mind are always a bit beyond my expectations. But you are a clothing company, plus an electric bicycle company. What on earth do you want to sponsor us? Let me tell you Ah, the sponsorship we need now is real money. Some other things may not be as valuable to us as money..."

Hua Haibo has his own reasons for saying this. Although the Olympic Committee has relatively abundant funds, its expenses are also very huge.

Sometimes when they go abroad, they have to search for money. After all, the money belongs to the country.

In addition, the leader of the Olympic Bid Committee is also a person who pays attention to frugality, so they have always thought about open source.

But the problem is, those companies are not fools. If they throw money into an Olympic bid committee that has no hope, and there is no sound, then what is the point of throwing money at it?

"I understand, so I'm here to find you. I hope you can give me a recommendation..." Zhou Pengcheng said with a smile.

"I can make the decision on this matter." Hua Haibo said with a smile, but he didn't take it too seriously.

"You can make the decision on how to collect money, but I'm afraid you can't make the decision on some details."

"Tch, are you trying to scare me?" Hua Haibo said angrily, "By the way, how much do you plan to sponsor?"

"One billion!"
