Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1405, Popular Football
The Royal Football Stadium in Xincheng, South District of Beijing, is undoubtedly a joint venture between Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. It is currently the largest football stadium in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it can accommodate [-] people to watch football matches at the same time.

Such a huge football field is full of seats at this moment, and the huge stadium is so crowded that the severe winter cold has been washed away. Being in the crowd of [-] people, you can't feel the slightest chill at all.

Since Liu Jin first created football in Tianjin, in just a few years, it has quickly swept the entire Ming Empire, and even the vassal states such as Korea and Japan have gradually risen. The football tide, large and small stadiums have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and various football matches are also organized quickly.

On Daming's side, the football game is the hottest game right now.

Under the organization and advocacy of Zhu Houzhao, a football fanatic, the Daming Professional Football League was established, and the system was also copied by Liu Jin from the later European Football League system.

The football teams of Ming Dynasty are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. The highest level of League A is naturally the most popular league.

At the same time, under the investment and advocacy of Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, the Daming Royal Cup Football League and the Daming Cup Football League were held. The Daming Royal Cup Football League and the Daming Cup Football League are currently the most valuable leagues among various leagues. It is also the top league.

At this moment, the official Daming Royal Cup Football League Hongzhi Twenty Years Final is being held in the huge Royal Football Stadium!

The two teams facing each other are the Daming International Football Team from Beijing and the Tianjin Navigation Team. The National Football Team and Navigation Team are currently the two top football teams in the Daming Football League.

The Daming National Football Team is mainly a football team funded by many rich and powerful children in the capital. As for the Tianjin Navigation Team, it is mainly a football team funded by large and small maritime trade firms in Tianjin, and their strength is top-notch.

At the same time, because they represent Beijing and Tianjin respectively, this final has attracted the attention of young and old in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area from the very beginning. As soon as the [-] tickets were released, they were sold out immediately.

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong~"

In the huge football stadium, it was full of heat. The fans brought the drums to the stadium, and the supporters of the Daming International Football Team and the Tianjin Navigation Team faced each other clearly.

In each camp, gongs and drums were beating, and with the rhythmic drumbeat, tens of thousands of fans in the camp also interacted with each other.

Some people are waving their flags, some are shouting slogans, and some are playing with the waves. When they are in it, they will be affected by this craze without knowing it, and then they will fall in love with football deeply.

Of course, in addition to these exciting atmospheres, the more important thing is the off-court gambling.

Those who watch football but do not gamble are fake fans, while real fans want to buy their favorite team to win.

Gambling is a legal industry in Ming Dynasty, let alone betting on football.

Many arenas in the Beijing-Tianjin area, one of the main income is selling tickets, and the other is gambling, and the income from gambling is far greater than the income from tickets.

The income from tickets is fixed. Even if the venue is full, there are only so many seats and so much ticket income. But gambling is different. There are too many rich people in Beijing and Tianjin. The profits generated are very considerable.

This is also an important reason for the rapid development of Ming Dynasty football.

You must know that a few years ago, there were very few football fields in Beijing and Tianjin, and they were all invested and built by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. However, in the past two years, football fields in Beijing and Tianjin have sprung up like mushrooms. There are more than a dozen large football fields planned and built, and hundreds of football clubs.

This shows how popular the sport of football is, and we can also see the huge benefits brought by football games.

Only when it is profitable will someone do it.

Outside the football stadium, there was a long queue at the special gambling outlet of the Royal Football Stadium. A large crowd gathered on the huge square. Those who did not buy tickets would not leave until the football match was over.

Even if there is no way to go in and watch the game in person, they have to wait here.

In the VIP room of the football field, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin were eating snacks while discussing the outcome of the football match,

"Old Liu, which team do you think will win?"

"I don't know either, but I'm a fan of the Tianjin Navigation Team, and I definitely support the Tianjin Navigation Team."

"Tch, I think the Daming International Team will win."

"Come on, I'll buy [-] taels of silver, and the national football team will win~"

Zhu Houzhao took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket, all of which were worth one hundred taels of silver, and threw out exactly ten thousand taels of silver.

After speaking, I still didn't forget to look at Liu Jin with provocative eyes.

"I'll buy [-] taels of silver too, and I'll buy the Tianjin Navigation Team to win~"

Liu Jin curled his lips slightly. To be honest, Liu Jin doesn't like gambling. A pure fan should only like football, not gambling, and the outcome of gambling can easily affect his preference for his favorite team.

But Zhu Houzhao had already spoken, so he naturally wanted to follow along.

"His Royal Highness, Young Master Liu~"

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin came to watch the game and gamble, so Li Mu, the manager of the Royal Football Stadium in Beijing, came here in person.

Looking at his two bosses, he is also a little speechless. You guys go out from your left pocket and go in from your pocket. Is it interesting to play?

It might as well put [-] taels of silver together, and whoever supports the team will take it away if it wins.

"Hmm~"

"How is the income of the stadium this year?"

Liu Jin looked at Li Mu and asked.

Although football is something, Liu Jin didn't intend to use it to make money at the beginning. It was purely his own hobby and liked to watch football games, so he came up with football and developed a football league.

But now it seems that the income of the football field is still very good, and it is already comparable to some small industries under his command.

"Returning to Mr. Liu, the income from the stadium this year is very good."

"In terms of ticket revenue, the total annual income is 200 million taels. In addition, in terms of stadium gambling revenue, the annual total income is 500 million taels. The sales of clothes, football, advertisements, shop rentals, etc. around the stadium also add up to more than 100 million taels of silver. Calculated, the total global income exceeds 800 million taels of silver, and the net profit exceeds 500 million taels of silver."

Li Mu, the manager of the stadium, is naturally very clear about the data in this regard, and can tell it in detail without reading the report.

Liu Jin was also a little surprised when he heard that he could earn five million taels of silver a year. He didn't expect that a golf course could earn five million taels of silver a year.

"Not bad~"

Zhu Houzhao also grinned and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liu, this year is considered to be the best year, but it is estimated that it will be greatly reduced next year, because several large stadiums will be put into use next year, and the number of games played in our stadium will be reduced by then. Our income will be greatly reduced.”

Li Mu smiled, and then said helplessly.

"Let's reduce it, but the important large-scale competitions still have to be held in our stadium."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"Of course, our stadium has the most complete facilities and the largest scale. It is also located in the most prosperous new city in the southern district. There are the most people watching the game and the traffic is the best. Naturally, other stadiums cannot compare with us."

Li Mu nodded solemnly and said.

"Okay, go down, I'm going to watch the football game."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care much about these. He looked at the stadium and the game was about to start.

In the center of the field, a group of girls in beautiful costumes began to dance hotly. The entire field was instantly set on fire, and countless people howled.

The dance in the stadium is naturally very different from the traditional dance in Daming. It mainly expresses the theme of youth, liveliness, passion, and blood. passionate.

The match officially started soon, and with [-] people watching, this decisive battle was destined to be very exciting, and neither side would easily admit defeat.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"Humph~huh~"

In the huge football stadium, the football was played in full swing, and the fans also played a game of attacking each other with their voices.

The fans of Daming International yelled 'dong da, dong da', while the fans of Tianjin Navigation responded with 'hum ha' in unison.

This made Liu Jin in the VIP box couldn't help laughing while clutching his stomach.

Compared with the hooliganism of fans in later generations, Daming's fans are still very particular about quality. Even if the fans confront each other, they still use their voices to confront each other.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"Hum ha, ha ha, ha ha~"

Every team has its own unique cheering sound composed of two words, the "dong da" of the Ming Dynasty football team, the "hum ha" of Tianjin Navigation, and the "mighty" of the Beijing University League. Almost a household name.

Whenever there is a ball game, you often don't hear any other voices, you can only hear the voices of the fans of these teams shouting in unison.

"It really has the characteristics of Ming Dynasty. Compared with later generations, it's no wonder that football can quickly sweep the entire Ming Dynasty."

Listening to the confrontation between the two voices in the stadium, Liu Jin was also smiling.

In this era, people's entertainment items are too scarce, which has led to the popularity of entertainment and leisure activities such as football, horse racing, and theater. Among them, although football appeared the latest, it has become the most popular entertainment. project.

Compared with later generations, the atmosphere of football alone will blow up later generations.

　Think about what happens when the shouts of huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
