Ning Yuanlin wrote a column immediately after returning. Sure enough, as soon as the column was published in the newspaper, it resonated greatly among the fans of Bashu. The fans felt that the team they had supported with great effort had become a hopeless case. More and more fan groups began to boycott the home court of the Bashu team.
On Saturday's home game, there were less than 3,000 fans in attendance. With the average ticket price, the total revenue was less than 50,000 yuan. This was undoubtedly a blow to Dahua Company.
Yuan Fangguo guessed correctly. On the fifth day after the home game on Saturday, Dahua Company took the initiative to find Yuan Fangguo and made concessions on taxes.
Yuan Fangguo had a very arrogant look on his face, and even the Dahua Company was a little humble before he agreed.
This time, he chose to pay in installments. Dahai was eager to get rid of the loss situation and had no choice but to agree. However, they needed a letter of guarantee from the bank to prevent Yuan Fangguo from getting something for nothing.
The bank guarantee was not a problem, and Yuan Fangguo got it done quickly.
Under this contract, Yuan Fangguo paid 6.8 million yuan and got the tickets for the remaining home games this year and the entire home games in 1996. According to the contract, he was required to pay for the water and electricity bills for each team game, and the security was the responsibility of the Provincial Sports Bureau, so he did not need to worry about it. The ownership of the retail stores in the stadium also belonged to him.
The total contract of 6.8 million yuan needed to be paid in monthly installments before the end of 1995, which meant that Yuan Fangguo had to pay more than 1.1 million yuan in contract money every month.
For this reason, he could only take out the money for the new hospital site, and the hospital matters had to be put aside for the time being.
Since he was confident about winning the ticketing business, he had communicated with some accounting, management, logistics and publicity talents from the machinery factory and also signed a draft contract. Therefore, Yuan Fangguo was able to do it quite smoothly. In just two days, the new Dongjin Company started to operate.
Ticket printing and sales, security coordination, retail item preparation...
After the company was up and running, Yuan Fangguo brought his new team to visit the Provincial Sports Bureau as soon as possible, hoping that the Sports Bureau would also support him as a distributor in ticketing.
The leaders of the Provincial Sports Bureau also admired Yuan Fangguo for taking over the ticket business at this time. If he didn't really love football, who would risk losing money to take over the business?
In late June, the Bashu team welcomed a home game after Yuan Fangguo took over. In this game, the Bashu team fought tenaciously with the team currently ranked first in the standings. Although there were only a few thousand fans at the scene, Yuan Fangguo felt that this was a good opportunity to make a fuss.
He found Ning Yuanlin again.
Ning Yuanlin also felt that the time was ripe. The day after the game, he wrote an article of more than 5,000 words entitled "Defend Chengdu and Live Up to the Sichuan Army". Starting from the spirit of the Sichuan Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he proposed that Chengdu, as an important city in the west, cannot be without an A-level team. Now, Sichuan football fans must unite and must "defend Chengdu."
This article was like a blockbuster nuclear bomb, which not only caused a huge wave in the land of Bashu, but also spread across the country. Newspapers, magazines and even news in various places mentioned the blockbuster news of "Defending Chengdu".
This time, the opponent of the Bashu team also put a lot of effort into the wording, changing "Defend Chengdu" to "Encircle Chengdu". As soon as the newspaper came out, it took advantage of this favorable trend and became a hot seller in Luoyang.
The fans of Bashu were united as never before, and the leaders of major fan groups held meetings one after another to express their opinions on "defending Chengdu".
Not only the fans in Bashu are taking action, but also the fans in Yunnan, Guizhou and even Hanzhong City in Guanzhong Province are taking action.
The hype made the Bashu team's game in early July full of highlights. Even the national television station changed its original plan to broadcast the leader's game in order to broadcast the Bashu team's home game live.
It seems that people all over the country are looking forward to this game.
A senior official in charge of culture and sports from the provincial government even came to the team's training base before the game and delivered a speech. The official also mentioned the slogan "Defend Chengdu" many times in his speech.
Captain Wei Qun even patted his chest and declared to senior officials that if the Bashu team could not avoid relegation this year, he, Wei Qun, would retire completely.
The game started on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday at the Chengdu Sports Center. There were less than three days left before Yuan Fangguo and his classmates' exams for this semester, but in order to watch the game live, Yuan Fangguo still went to the stadium specially.
After lunch, he hurriedly hailed a taxi and headed straight for the stadium. The journey usually took about half an hour, but this time he was stuck in traffic for more than half an hour. Yuan Fangguo finally arrived at the stadium at around one o'clock.
It is no exaggeration to say that the area around the stadium was bustling with noises of gongs and drums and huge crowds of people.
Fans' associations from all over Bashu Province also carried yellow banners and red drums, and even hundreds of fans from other provinces such as Yunnan and Guizhou came.
All the tickets were sold out at 1:00 p.m. Yuan Fangguo pretended to be an ordinary fan and mingled in the stadium square. The scalpers also started to act at this time. On the way to the stadium security check, Yuan Fangguo was asked by at least several scalpers if he wanted tickets.
In order to verify the authenticity of these tickets, Yuan Fangguo bought a high-priced ticket and walked into the stadium.
