Chapter 145 Opposition from Nina (1)

Under Evan's leadership, Edward walked into the infield and took a leisurely visit.

Edward Ireland is already forty-three this year. He has been working in promoting basketball games in this gymnasium more than a decade ago.

He loves the job.

Last year, he and ten other people founded the American Basketball Association, trying to develop basketball professionally, but the result was not ideal. In addition to the reasons why competitors exist, the key is that the game itself is not outstanding and cannot attract audiences.

"What, don't you charge tickets?"

When Evan introduced that everyone can enter the Rubik's Cube game for free tomorrow, Edward was surprised and said, "Then how do you rely on to recover the cost?"

Evan shook his head and explained with a smile: "Mr. Edward, our game does not require income from tickets."

“Essentially, this competition is a large-scale marketing campaign, an advertisement, and serves product sales.”

"In order to maximize the publicity effect and promote product sales, we hope that the more people come to the venue, the better. The collection of tickets does not meet this fundamental starting point."

"So that's it..." Edward nodded thoughtfully, and then he sighed: "It's a pity that we can't take this approach..."

When Evan saw Edward looking in a difficult face, he asked casually: "Mr. Edward, you seem to have encountered a problem?"

"Yes!"

Edward admitted generously.

"Do you mind talking?"

Edward smiled and said, "What can I say about this..."

Edward expressed the current difficulties of the BAA League in just a few words.

After listening, Evan helped analyze: "If you want the league to survive, the key is how to attract people to the venue."

"It's true..." Edward looked at Evan with anticipation, hoping that he would give him a good suggestion.

“I think it’s a good way to improve the viewing of the game.”

Edward was a little disappointed when he heard this. He frowned and said, "Are you talking about combining sports with drama and comedy like Harlem Globetrotters?"

The Harlem Basketball Team is a performance exhibition team, originated in Chicago and is a team composed of African Americans.

"No, no, no!" Evan waved his hand and denied, "Although this is also a kind of ornamentality, I'm not referring to this."

"Basketball is a confrontational sport, and the intensity of the confrontation is also a spectacular viewing. Think about it, if the scores of two teams rise alternately, will you want to see the end? If the game is not decided until the last moment, will people who are not present regret that they have not witnessed this moment..."

"What I mean by ornamentality..."

"However, this kind of viewing usually requires two strong teams with similar strength to show their views... So, in fact, it can only be achieved by strengthening the overall strength of the league team..."

"Well, I always feel like I've said nonsense. You must know these Mr. Edward."

Speaking of this, Evan smiled embarrassedly at Edward.

Unexpectedly, Edward shook his head and said, "No, Evan, you are right, and it gave me a lot of inspiration."

"Is that so great to help."

Evan smiled, he felt that Edward was saying politely.

Evan didn't know that Edward was telling the truth.

After Edward returned, he immediately made a suggestion to the league.

One way to strengthen the strength of the league team can be said to be immediate, that is, to dig up the strong teams of competitors.

As long as a strong team is poached, the average strength of the league will increase by one point.

This is much faster than cultivating a team by oneself.

...

At six o'clock, Nina brought her three siblings to the lobby of the Albert Hotel.

The three siblings all changed into formal clothes for attending the banquet.

Evan waited in the hall.

Nina's expression was much better, and Evan finally felt relieved when he saw this.

However, when he saw Dora who was reluctant to leave Nina several steps behind, Evan asked curiously: "What's wrong with this girl?"

Nina looked back at Dora and said unhappily: "She encouraged Robert to take her out for fun, but I caught her."

Dora said with resentment at this time: "Robert is the worst and doesn't know how to keep it secret for her sister!"

Robert said helplessly: "Dora, it's not my fault, it's because you're too loud."

Evan felt angry and funny when he heard this.

He always felt that Dora had a tendency to become a naughty child, which was not possible.

Evan walked to Dora, reached out and let her hold him. Then he turned to look at Nina and said, "I think my sisters have a good talent in music. When they return to Sacramento, they can hire an extra tutor."

"Summer vacation is so long, you can't waste it!"

"You don't have to worry about money, just send the bill to me."

Nina nodded and said, "Indeed, time cannot be wasted."

When Dora heard Evan's words, she immediately changed her face.

"Evan, you are the biggest bad guy!"

"Woo...I don't want to go to the musical anymore!"

Half an hour later, 932 Seventh Avenue, Manhattan, outside the New Century Theater.

Two black Ford cars parked on the side of the road, Bob, in a black suit, opened the door, Evan got off first, and then carried Dora and Dorothy out of the car one after another.

Dora, who had just gotten angry, had a smile on her face at this moment, as if the person who said "I won't go" was not her.

At the entrance of the theater, director Abbott and a group of creators welcomed the arrival of guests and audiences.

Evan led Nina and her younger brothers and sisters toward the entrance.

He wanted to walk in low profile, but he was still caught by Abbott's afterwards.

"Evan! Welcome, welcome!"

One of the public were in public, Evan couldn't pretend not to hear it, so he had to stop.

"Good evening, Mr. Abbott!"

"This is my mother, Nina, they are my brothers and sisters!"

Abbott respectfully saluted Nina: "Good evening, Mrs. Warren, it's my honor to know you."

"I hope you enjoy this drama."

Nina replied with a few polite words, then took the children to the theater.

Abbott wanted to lead the way in person, but Evan refused.

"Mr. Abbott, don't be so grand, just treat us as ordinary audiences."

"Well... it's better not to be smelled by the media, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"You know more about these than me, right!"

When saying this, Evan always pays attention to whether there are cameras taking pictures of them.

Abbott naturally understood what Evan said and nodded, "I understand, I will pay attention."
