The official final was held two days later, on June 1870, 6.

This time, the 5th North American Major League Baseball Finals held in Mexico City was unprecedentedly grand, and the game will be held at the newly completed Royal Red Oak Stadium.

The cheapest ticket for the final was priced at 1.2 yuan, and the most expensive ticket for the VIP seats on the sidelines was 98 yuan. The final on June 6 was full of audience.

For this final game alone, the ticket sales amounted to more than 52 yuan, without billboards and other sponsorship income.

Before the game
The 171 hawkers are already busy. They are beer salesmen and beverage salesmen carrying large iron buckets. The drinks include squeezed sugar cane juice and sweet orange water, all of which are carried in the big iron bucket behind them. The iron bucket is covered with ice. Block, there is a leather pipe with a tap connected out.

In the stadium, a glass of beer is sold for 5 cents, and a drink is also sold for 5 cents, which is almost twice as expensive as the price outside, but it is still in short supply.

Snacks are only popcorn, also 5 cents a piece.

After this competition, the sales of snacks and beer alone cost tens of thousands of yuan, which shows how enthusiastic consumers are?
Surrounded by officials of the organizing committee and local government, His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, the eleventh son of the emperor, was present as the most honored guest, ready to present a trophy to the victorious champion.

The arrival of His Highness the Eleventh caused the audience to stand up and cheer, "Long live the empire, long live the emperor... Long live!", the cheers came and went.

In the Tang Empire

His Majesty the Emperor possesses lofty prestige and is a holy monarch admired by all people. He is as wise and powerful as a land god, and is widely loved by his subjects.

His Highness Tang-Li Xin waved enthusiastically in response, and then, surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Sports and the Organizing Committee of the Professional Baseball League, entered the VIP room to watch the game.

Thanks to the good genes of his parents, and the fact that he never lacks in nutrition, Tang Li Xin is 1 meters tall. He is tall and strong. He has always liked sports and is a good baseball pitcher.

He was very familiar with the main pitchers and strong bats of the Changan Eastern Cavalry and Chicago Conqueror in the final match. After sitting in the box, he waited for the start of the game with great anticipation.

His Royal Highness the Eleventh concurrently serves as the director of the League Organization Department of the Ministry of Sports, and serves as the honorary chairman of the University of California, the honorary chairman of the University of Chicago, the chairman of the Royal Changan Bank, and the chairman of the Royal Changan Oil Company. There are part-time jobs and practical work, which are intended to exercise their abilities.

just earlier this year

His Royal Highness Tang-Li Xin, the Duke of the North, retired with the rank of Colonel, and accepted arrangements to work in the fields of industry, culture and sports, especially the Royal Chang'an Bank as one of the eight consortiums of the empire, and the Royal Datang Telegraph Company as one of the three giants in the telecommunications industry. Is the substantive director of the company.

After all, he is the third heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty. The banks and telegraph offices he took over are all heavyweight enterprises. Whether they can run well is a test of His Highness's ability.

The 15 princes who have grown up have all been assigned different positions according to their preferences.

When His Majesty the Emperor admonished the princes, he once said sternly;
"I don't want to mess around with people waiting to die, and so do the emperors. The Royal Secretariat will evaluate each of you, and I hope you will live up to my expectations and work hard. Love the sages, the far villains, Don't look forward to self-cultivation and morality at all times, and be a model for all people.

Anyone who harms the dignity of the royal family will be punished severely, so don't make mistakes! "

Now, from the eldest son of the emperor to the thirty-seventh son of the emperor who is just babbling, everyone fears His Majesty the emperor like a tiger, and absolutely dare not go against the holy will and do anything wrong, that would be a terrible death!

Look at His Majesty's current appearance, it is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not surprising that there are another twenty or thirty princes, so why do you feel bad for severely punishing a few?
The second child and the fourteenth child had been severely warned before because of their greed for money and wantonness. If they violated it again, they might be imprisoned permanently by decree of the emperor or deliberated by the clan's government, and this life would be over.

Therefore, most of the princes of the royal family are diligent and studious.

It's not that they themselves are willing, but that there is a strict father who supervises them all the time, just like someone whipping a whip behind them, and they can't slack off for a moment.

His Highness the Eleventh took a sip of the chilled French sparkling champagne, and said enthusiastically to Zhu Baocheng, the vice minister of sports who accompanied him, "Brother Baocheng, today's finals is a battle between dragons and tigers! Which side do you think will win the final victory? "

"Your Highness, don't you ask this question knowingly?? The baseball fans in Chang'an City must all support the Eastern Hussars. After all, it is a hometown team! I am no exception."

"Hahaha... It seems that heroes see the same thing!"

"To be honest, Your Highness, the Chicago Conqueror team is really strong. From star pitchers to strong bats, there is almost no weak player. It is very difficult for the Eastern Light Cavalry to win!" Zhu Baocheng is a veteran baseball fan. Naturally, he said with a finger raised;

"Look...

The star pitchers of the Chicago Conquistadors include ghost player Hu Abao, and Qibao meteor player Zhang Quan.

Let's talk about the left fielder, because of the existence of "Eight Steps to Cicada" Yang Fanyun, almost all the balls that are forced to hit the past will be confiscated, which is very powerful!

This person reached 40 home runs in both last year and this year's domestic baseball league. In addition to his excellent defensive ability, his long-hitting ability is also quite outstanding.

in the semifinals
"Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" Yang Fanyun staged an outfield assist to kill the home run, helping the team eliminate the New York Rangers with a slight advantage. He is a powerful figure that cannot be underestimated.

To break out from these strong players, the Chang'an Eastern Light Cavalry must show their true skills. I guess this must be a close game, and it is likely to create a classic game. "

"Hahaha... With you as an expert by your side, watching football will not be lonely." His Highness Tang-Li Xin laughed when he heard this.

He likes the industry of entertainment and sports, which makes money with laughter. In recent years, the upsurge of league games that have emerged has become more and more effective in stimulating the economy, generating a lot of income.

Take the North American baseball league this time as an example, the economic boost effect on Mexico City is very obvious, at least a few million tax increases.

during the game
Nearly 22 fans flocked from all over North America. These are groups with considerable spending power, which has ignited the hotel and catering industry in Mexico City. Housing prices have generally increased by three to four times. There are also many private houses for rent. .

This alone, in a period of 4 weeks, increased the income of 700 million.

In addition, catering, teahouses, taverns, gambling stalls, prostitute therapy, wine and food industries have all benefited, and the total revenue has reached more than 1300 million, which is an astonishing total.

It is said that highly excited fans, no matter after winning or losing, must find a girl to vent their anger. During the game, there is almost no day of idleness.

do the math

Such a fan, even eating and drinking but also having fun, how much does he have to contribute during the game?

During the league period, the 4 venues continued to rotate, and after dozens of games, the ticket sales revenue alone reached more than 280 million. In addition to the beer, drinks and snacks in the arena, the total revenue was close to 400 million.

Calculated at a tax rate of 25%, Mexico City would have to increase its tax revenue by 500 million yuan, which can be described as a windfall.

After a successful league, the local government, event organizers and venue owners, participating clubs and fans are all winners, and everyone is happy.

The Ministry of Sports and local governments have obtained political achievements and taxes, the event organizers, stadiums and participating clubs have obtained economic benefits and fame, and fans have obtained great joy and satisfaction from it.

How can such a good thing not be promoted?

"Your Highness, the players have entered the field."

There was a tidal wave of cheers in the stadium, and Vice Minister Zhu Baocheng quickly reminded His Highness that he was a little distracted, and his eyes followed the players on the stadium, full of excitement.

For a true fan, what's more exciting than a game?

The answer is; two games or more.
