Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 249 Is there really someone so stupid?

This place is the famous Hanxia Olympic Games Organizing Committee! It is also the headquarters of the Olympic Organizing Committee!

At this moment, a meeting was being held within the Olympic Committee. All the senior officials of the committee were present. The gray-haired old man sitting in the top chief seat was Chief Chen, the head of the Olympic Committee.

But at this moment, all of them had bad expressions, and the atmosphere in the memory room was depressing.

Nonsense, the atmosphere couldn't be depressing. This time they were faced with a huge problem.

In fact, they didn't want to host the Olympics at all this time.

In a sense, hosting the Olympic Games can indeed demonstrate the style of a great country to a great extent. It is also the best opportunity to show itself to the world. It plays a vital role in helping a country enhance its international status and reputation.

But the problem is that, for Hanxia, ​​it's enough that they have hosted the Olympics once. It's not like they haven't hosted it before, and the Olympics in previous years were also quite successful. At least they were not as bad as the recent Olympics of other countries, with each competition being so abstract.

Another thing to say is that Hanxia now does not need these things to demonstrate its national strength.

In today's Hanxia, ​​who dares to ignore their words? When they pick up the food, who dares to turn the table?

Even America doesn't have the guts to do this!
So there is really no need for an Olympics to showcase ourselves.

Unless you can hold an event on a particularly grand scale, the kind that directly refreshes people's cognition and leaves the most indelible impression in the minds of people all over the world.

But is this possible? Is it possible for such a thing to exist?

The answer is obvious.

So there is no need to think about so many things, especially even if there is hope to host the Olympics like this, then the biggest problem is, where are you going to get the money?

Money! Money is the biggest problem!

Obviously, the grander the event is, the more money will be spent, especially now that they have already hosted it once, they are really unwilling to invest more money in this Olympics.

Compared to hosting the Olympics, there are more places in their country that need money. No matter how rich a country is, it will not feel bad to spend the money for fun, especially on such a sure-loss thing.

Yes, it is a definite loss, because although the Olympics is a worldwide event, after so many years, no Olympics can be said to have made money.

Everyone is losing a lot of money, it’s just a matter of how much.

For example, Hanxia’s first Olympic Games, although it attracted worldwide attention and did earn them enough face, it also caused them to lose money.

This time, I was even forced to do it and got it by drawing lots.

Naturally, they would not have any enthusiasm for hosting.

The biggest problems are what to do, how big to do, how much to invest, and when to do it.

This is a difficult job, as we have to save face. We must not perform as poorly as the previous Olympic Games in other countries, which were so abstract. Otherwise, we will not only fail to save face, but become a laughing stock of the whole world. Then they will be the eternal sinners of Hanxia.

Then you have to save money while maintaining your reputation.

At this time, a senior member of the Olympic Committee raised his hand and said, "What I mean is, why don't we change the theme this time and go for an environmentally friendly and minimalist approach? If we design it well, we can have a minimalist but outstanding opening ceremony. And I don't think it's necessary to change the venue."

"no!"

Soon someone shook their head to express their disagreement: "We still need a new venue, otherwise we won't show our sincerity, and it might even give the international community the impression that we are stingy and don't even want to change the venue. And to put it bluntly, the venue back then is not enough now, and can only accommodate 50,000 people. Maybe it can be used in other countries, but it's not surprising in Hanxia."

As I said, there are too many people in Hanxia.

And this problem alone also shows the difficulty of this time.

"Oh!" Chief Chen also sighed.

The difficulty lies in striking a balance between right and wrong, and this balance is not easy to control.

It is very difficult to consider both your face and the thickness of your wallet.

Just as that committee member said, if the venue is not changed, money will be saved but face will be lost.

But if you change it, the problem arises again.

How big should it be, where should it be built, what will it look like, and how much will it cost.

Another big problem.

And most importantly, where does the design come from?
There are problems everywhere and it's difficult to coordinate.

"Let's publish a draft for the venue online for comments," Chief Chen said. "We'll select a design and then build a new main venue."

The most important thing is to save face and not lose face.

This meeting really made him feel overwhelmed.

Funding is limited, and the amount allocated to them this time is only 300 billion US dollars. Even though this amount is 2100 billion RMB, it is already a huge sum.

But in reality, compared with the Olympics, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

There are places where money is needed everywhere in the Olympics. Now after their coordination, the main stadium needs to be rebuilt, so there is one more place where money needs to be spent.

The funding will be less.

Not to mention that many of the competition venues that were once used are now in disrepair. If they are to be put back into use, a huge amount of money will have to be spent on reconstruction.

Then there are the medals, prize money, team preparation for the competition events, city coordination and so on.

Too much is too much.

In the end, this money may not be enough.

Then the problem before them is obvious.

That is. The opening ceremony! And the closing ceremony!
Funds are tight, so how much money to invest in the opening and closing ceremonies is a big problem.

Even minimalist opening and closing ceremonies are not cheap, especially when they calculate how little money will ultimately be spent on them.

"Chief, I have a bold idea"

Then the truth is, when a group of men gather together, a creature called "Idea King" will be randomly generated, and it often provides some bad ideas.

What's wrong with the Olympic Committee? Even if they are a bunch of old men, just ask yourself if these people in the meeting are men!

As the commissioner expressed his ideas, the more he spoke, the more stunned the others became.

"Are you crazy?" The chief was dumbfounded.

Because what this committee member said just now was completely subversive.

I'm afraid it'll scare people if I let it out.

But the committee member said innocently, "There is no other way. This is the best solution we have now. Think about it. The approach I proposed is actually feasible. At least they have really used it in foreign countries. It is not a precedent for private enterprises to invest and participate. And the most important point is that we are also attracting investment, not forcing anyone to sign up. Whoever wants to sign up can sign up by themselves. We will not interfere! We are not afraid of causing dissatisfaction."

"."

Yes, that’s right, this is exactly what the committee member proposed.

Open bidding, open up investment rights, and allow private enterprises to participate in the investment of the Olympic Games opening ceremony! Absorb funds from private enterprises!

The chief fell silent after hearing this.

Because although this suggestion sounds outrageous and seems to be a bad idea, it is indeed the better approach they can choose now.

Instead of holding meetings for half a day to scrimp and save money, it is better to relax restrictions and allow private capital to participate to ease financial pressure. In fact, some foreign countries have already tried this approach by allowing companies to invest in the Olympic Games.

"Well, that's it." The chief sighed and compromised: "Then get ready and bid."

We can only try our best to save the situation. Let's give it a try.

He was actually quite confused as well.

Is it really feasible to do this?
Because the benefits of doing so are obvious, it can ease financial pressure, but the problems are also obvious.

In the past, some companies were willing to invest in the Olympics because everyone believed that this global event was profitable and there was money to be made.

But the problem is, after so many years and so many Olympic Games, many examples have proven with clear facts that this thing really does not make money.

Nowadays, there are no foreign companies that are willing to sponsor or invest in the Olympic Games.

Unless you simply spend money on advertising.

Because this thing is doomed to fail! The previous bitter lessons have been told to those business owners, but don’t you see how many companies went bankrupt because of investing in the Olympics?

Is there anyone who can really invest? It would be funny if no one bids.

The chief also began to doubt his life.

But there is no other way, I have to give it a try, right? As I said before, I'll just give it a try.

So, under this circumstance, the Summer Olympic Organizing Committee officially issued an announcement to the public.

Once it was released, it caused an uproar.

(I took on a new drama these two days and am preparing for the audition and memorizing the lines, so I will update twice a day.)
