Chapter 151 Yang Ming profited US$550 million from the World Cup!
Hutchison Soda originally had its own sales channels, but now it also has sales channels such as Watsons, PepsiCo, and supermarkets in Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa.
In addition, there are many shops like street shops.
When Melvin and others from Hutchison Soda Drinks took Yang Ming to visit, the production lines at the Hutchison Soda Drinks Factory were now producing non-stop.
A steady stream of red bulls will be hauled away on trucks.
At this point, Hutchison Soda executives never thought of it before.
After Yang Ming visited.
Come to the conference room.
"Everyone, the market in Xiangjiang is just a small market. Our market will gradually expand to the world. Where there are Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, there is our Red Bull."
In Yang Ming's view, the Xiangjiang market is still too small.
Next, we must vigorously explore the European market.
European countries such as Country Y, Country F, West Germany, Italy, etc. not only have larger populations, but also more consumer groups can afford drinks like Red Bull.
In addition, there are countries such as M and Canada in North America, as well as Brazil, Argentina and other countries in South America.
In terms of per capita income, Argentina’s per capita income is not low now.
Having income means there is a market for income.
Where there's Coca-Cola and Pepsi, there's Red Bull?
The Hutchison Soda executives sitting there were stunned.
This was the second time they heard their boss, Mr. Yang, say that.
However, they also know that Imperial Group has a lot of money, and they also know that Red Bull drinks are indeed not much worse than those of Coca-Cola.
Yang Ming worked with them on the Red Bull business plan.
At this time, Hutchison Soda executives knew that in Yang Ming's eyes, Red Bull was not just a drink, but in the future, it would even be a Fortune 500 company.
Historically, Red Bull has been a huge market in China alone.
Even more so in Europe and America.
However, Xu Shubiao and the Austrian tycoon shared Red Bull, and Xu Shubiao and the Xu family could not have Red Bull exclusively.
Even then, Xu Shubiao was still the richest man in Siam.
Yang Ming finished the meeting with them.
When leaving here, the executive of Hutchison Soda personally saw Yang Ming out.
Yang Ming got into the Rolls-Royce and left here directly.
. . .
Return to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Yang Ming had dinner.
Under the service of Azhu and Zhong Chuhong, I took a comfortable bath.
Return to the study.
In addition to continuing to sort out global stock information, the other thing is to sort out the results of the Argentina World Cup.
In the early hours of last night, it was just the first group match.
However, Yang Ming relied on his first group match alone.
In the global gambling market, profits of more than 20 million US dollars were made.
Compared with Yang Ming's current income, it seems not much.
Yang Ming knows that as long as the Argentina World Cup is not over yet, he can always make profits by knowing the results of the game in advance.
Except for the first round.
There's still a second round.
It lasted until the finals.
That night.
Yang Ming made an international long-distance call in advance to notify those in charge of the results of the competition in advance.
Yang Ming will also not go to watch the game in the early hours of tonight.
When he was reading the newspaper just now, he not only read the game process in advance, but also the results.
. . .
In the next twenty days or so, Yang Ming went to the Imperial Group as usual.
After returning home, I compared the results of the World Cup a day in advance, and then notified those in charge through international long-distance calls to place bets. I have been getting rich these days.
From the first game of the first round of the group stage to the finals.
The profit has reached nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, which amounts to 2.75 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In Yang Ming's opinion, this was an unexpected windfall.
This World Cup in Argentina will have the finals at 2:00 a.m. Hong Kong time.
Not surprisingly, Yang Ming can make tens of millions of dollars in profit from this game.
When Yang Ming accompanied Yang Jirong and his wife to have dinner again, Yang Jirong and his wife did not know that Yang Ming actually made nearly 500 million U.S. dollars in global gambling during the World Cup.
They just know that since Asia TV broadcasted the World Cup live, Asia TV's ratings in the early morning were not low, with a maximum of nearly 15%.
Tonight is the World Cup finals, and the ratings on Asian TV should be higher.
"Peter, tonight's World Cup final hosts Argentina vs. Holland, who do you think will win?" Yang Jirong asked.
"Daddy, which team do you like?"
"Argentine."
"Then Argentina wins."
"Peter, what should we do if the World Cup is over and Asia TV's ratings drop?" Li Yufang, the mother next to him, asked again.
"Mommy, this is a business behavior. If the ratings fall, it's normal."
This time, Asia TV bought the live broadcast rights of the World Cup. Due to the time difference, Hong Kong and Asian audiences could only live broadcast in the early morning. Even then, the ratings basically exceeded 10%. In Yang Ming's opinion, the ratings Not bad.
Asia Television has made a lot of money from advertising fees through the ratings of the World Cup.
Red Bull relies on Asia Television's advertising and marketing, and now it is also popular in the beverage market in Hong Kong and Haojiang.
From Yang Ming's point of view, no matter what the World Cup ends and the ratings are, he feels it is very worthwhile.
What's more, he really doesn't need this little money.
That night.
After Yang Ming finished his work, he went to rest first.
Early the next day.
Yang Ming got up, washed and changed his clothes, and came downstairs under the service of Azhu and Zhong Chuhong.
Yang Ming went to finish exercising.
Reading the newspaper there with my father Yang Jirong.
Yang Jirong told him about the World Cup match last night.
On June 25, 1978, at the River Plate Stadium in Argentina, in the 11th World Cup final, Argentina and Holland dedicated a classic battle to fans around the world.
This final can be described as a climax. One side is the host country, and the other side is the runner-up of the last cup. Amid the cheers from more than 70,000 spectators, Argentina launched a wave of offensive after the start of the game.
However, the Dutchmen were the first to create a scoring opportunity, but Argentine goalkeeper Philol was in excellent condition and saved the day many times.
After consolidating their defense, Argentina went all out in attack.
Finally, in the 38th minute, Argentina took the lead at home. Forward Kempes opened the scoring with a volley from the penalty area.
However, the Dutchmen were not to be outdone, and the game was always in a stalemate. Just as the Argentineans were waiting for victory, a substitution in the second half of the Dutchman played a role.
In the 82nd minute, Naninga, who came on as a substitute, suddenly appeared in the penalty area and received a pass from his teammate and scored with a header to equalize the score.
Will the game be deadlocked within 90 minutes?
Before the end, Ransombrunk's shot almost suffocated all Argentineans, but the goalpost saved Argentina this time. After 90 minutes, the two sides were tied at 1-1, and the game was dragged into overtime.
In the overtime period, Argentina had a divine help.
In the 105th minute, Kempes passed two Dutch defenders and finally deceived the goalkeeper and scored the ball, making the score 2-1!
10 minutes later, Bettoni scored with a powerful shot and the score was locked at 3-1!
In the end, Argentina won the World Cup for the first time on home soil.
When everyone thought the host country had won the World Cup, Yang Ming knew that he was the real winner.
Last night's World Cup final made a profit of more than 50 million US dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, that would be 275 million Hong Kong dollars.
Plus the profit from one month of World Cup matches.
In this World Cup, Yang Ming made more than 550 million US dollars in profit from the World Cup.
In 1978, it was possible to make more than $500 million in profits from betting on the World Cup, which is indeed a lot!
