Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

The war outside was raging, but in South China, people's lives were not greatly affected by the war.

Although Nanhua has now shifted to a wartime economy, the booming military industry has not affected the people's livelihood and business in Nanhua.

On the contrary, due to the prosperity of cross-border trade, the Chinese in South China have made a lot of money in the past two years.

When we were poor in the past, all we had to think about was what to eat the next day.

But now that people have money in their pockets, food and drink are no longer an issue that they need to worry about, so they put all their enthusiasm into entertainment.

In recent years, South China's film, radio and other industries have developed at a rocket-like speed. Combined with the existing record and newspaper industries, in less than ten years, six large global entertainment groups have sprung up in South China.

Among these six major entertainment groups, except for the earliest Xinghai Group, the five that were born later are more or less related to the Sun Group. For example, the Manila Newspaper Group is a company under the Sun Group. As for the remaining four, two were founded by imperial aristocrats, and although the other two were established by local businessmen, they also have high-level officials of the empire behind them.

It still remains the same. Sun Tong will not allow media outlets to be outside of state supervision. Coming from later generations, he naturally knows how important it is for a country to control media channels.

With the continuous prosperity of the entertainment industry, South China's sports industry has also developed in the past two years.

First of all, there is the domestic horse racing sport. This sport has become more and more influential since it appeared in South China. Now there are more than 60 horse racing clubs of all sizes in South China. This is because the higher authorities have strict approval of horse racing clubs, otherwise the number would probably have increased many times.

Horse racing, billiards and football were probably the three most popular sports in Nanhua before.

Especially the football industry in South China, which has grown from nothing to a formal competition with three professional groups and five business groups. In addition to these eight groups, South China also has a cup competition called the South China Championship Cup. The teams participating in this competition are the top two teams in each state's annual league.

Because the participating teams are all top domestic clubs, this event has attracted special attention from the public since its inception. In the early days, when participating in this event, each participating club was only eyeing the considerable championship rewards offered by Sun Tong.

But after years of development, the so-called generous championship rewards of the Southern Crown are no longer valued by those giants. After all, the prize money for winning this tournament is only 300 million Southern Yuan. But you have to know that as long as you can get a place, even if you only play in the group stage, a team can earn back the championship bonus just from tickets and peripherals.

It's just that because of the traffic problem, South China Football has already had the idea of ​​reforming the South China Championship Cup. However, reform is reform, and because the South China Championship Cup has already been deeply rooted in the world, the football side does not dare to change the rules of this event at will.

It has been three years since the Football Association came up with this idea. During these three years, the Football Association has held countless meetings and discussions, and now it has finally come up with a set of new competition rules that seem more reliable.

In the future, the South China Championship League will be changed from once a year to once every two years, and the Football Association also intends to increase the number of participants in this event.

According to the new rules of the Football Association, the two places in the original league of each country will be retained. In addition, the football side will take out an additional 23 places to increase the total number of places to 64. The Football Association will hold play-offs for these 23 extra places.

To decide the final contestant.

In short, after the Football Association's new regulations were promulgated, they immediately received a warm response from the society. Some people think that adding so many places for football this time will reduce the viewing experience of the South China Championship Cup, but at the same time, many people think that with more participating teams, the competitiveness of each participating team will increase.

Regarding this matter, the fans all have their own opinions, and neither side can convince the other.

However, these have nothing to do with the Football Association. What they need to consider now is how to make more money from the South China Championship Cup. After all, with more teams participating, the duration of the entire event will be extended. If they ask sponsors to increase the amount of gold coins at this time, it will not be too much.

In previous years, the South China Football Association would earn at least 4000 million South China Yuan from hosting the South China Championship Cup. Now that the tournament has become a two-year event, if the Football Association cannot earn more than million South China Yuan from this tournament, it means that their reform of the competition has failed.
