243 Competition Value (3)
In another hour, Saturn’s global attention would be focused on this. Except for the poor areas without conditions, most of Saturn’s people would watch the live broadcast of the game.
Hao Meng followed Ning Shi and looked around the stadium. “A total of eight countries are participating in this competition. They are the Mieln Federation, the Black Bear Country, the Yunmeng Kingdom, the Kingdom of Mies, the Long Island Nation, the Gaobang Kingdom, the Ganges Nation, and the Gold Kingdom.
“The rules of the competition are very simple. In each match, both sides have three players. The players on the field will fight one-on-one. If they defeat all three players on the other side, they will win.
“The eight countries adopt a single-defeat elimination system. There will be a total of seven matches. Today, there are two matches in the first half of the competition, and tomorrow, there will be two matches in the second half of the competition.
“After that, they will have a day off before the two semi-finals.
“The finals will be held on January 7th.
“The competition schedule is exactly one week.
“The broadcast fee alone for this world competition had sold for more than 20 billion Saturn coins. Adding in sponsorship fees and subsequent commercial development, the commercial valuation of this tournament was already close to 100 billion before it was even launched.
“According to the agreement previously signed, the income of the competition would be distributed by the eight participating countries according to the final ranking.
“The champion will get 55% of the total income, the runner-up will get 25%, and the remaining 20% will be split between the third to eighth place.”
Ning Shi nodded. Such a world-renowned competition had extremely high commercial value. As long as it was developed well, it would be a treasure trove.
“It seems that the countries that didn’t join the competition are regretting it, right?” he said with a smile.
Ning Shi was just casually mentioning it. This kind of competition involved the awakening potion, and not every country had the strength to participate.
“That’s right,” Hao Meng replied. “We can earn billions of coins by sending a few contestants to the competition. Which country wouldn’t be tempted?”
“Many countries had already proposed to organize a National Awakeners’ Competition every year in the future. The rankings of the competition will determine the number of awakening potions the Yunmeng Kingdom will provide for the next year.
“They also hope to expand the scale of the competition and increase the number of participating countries to 32, just like the World Cup. Many people have also given specific plans, such as how to rotate the host country qualifications and how to apply.”
Hao Meng pointed at the audience who were entering the venue one after another and said, “The host country has huge benefits. This competition will not only bring a lot of tourists and attention to the Mieln Federation but also a huge income from the entrance tickets.
“The official price of the tickets for today’s competition is 8999 Saturn coins for an ordinary seat, and 30,000 to hundreds of thousands for a VIP seat.
“Even with such a price, the tickets are still sold out in an instant. Many people could not buy them.
“In the scalper market, the ticket price has been increased by more than five times.”
Listening to Hao Meng’s analysis, Ning Shi felt that Hao Meng was the most suitable person to manage the forces on Saturn. She was very meticulous and strong in economic construction and scientific research.
One had to know that the better the development of the civilization on Saturn, the more world’s essence power would be produced, and the more world’s essence power the origin treasure could absorb.
As the host of Saturn’s origin treasure, Ning Shi also benefited.
Therefore, after Ning Shi integrated the forces of Saturn, he still had to lead the progress and development of the civilization of Saturn.
The development of the economy was one of the foundations for the development of civilization.
“Let’s continue to hold this competition in the future,” said Ning Shi. “The format and content can be more diverse. There’s no need to be constrained by age or the awakening potion.”
Hao Meng nodded.
After observing the situation in the stadium, Ning Shi followed everyone into the lounge of the Yunmeng National Team.
According to the previous drawing, the Yunmeng Kingdom was in the upper half of the district and there was a competition today.
The first match was between Yunmeng Kingdom and Long Island.
This was a historical grudge.
During the period when the Yunmeng Kingdom was weak, Long Island invaded the Yunmeng Kingdom and committed heinous crimes.
Until today, Long Island’s attitude towards admitting guilt was extremely bad, and some people even tried to whitewash the history of aggression.
This was also why Ning Shi had instructed his disciples to kill them. Facing such a shameless opponent, they had to fight to the death!
