Chapter: 6721

The ticketing companies will buy up all 45,500 tickets and then add a portion of the profit, distributing it to the next level of resellers who are spread throughout the network. Finally, these resellers will sell these tickets to fans at five times or more face value, thus creating a massive profit for the entire industry chain.

Tavanna has been popular globally for several years and has not held any concerts in China yet. Therefore, it can be inferred that if she were to hold a concert in China without controlling ticket sales, all the tickets would surely sell out like crazy.

For those who are truly wealthy, spending tens of millions of yuan to watch Tavanna's concert from the front row is nothing but a status symbol. They only need to shout "Brothers, family members, beautiful people" and make some noise, earning hundreds or thousands of times their investment within a year. Spending tens of millions on a single event is no big deal for them.

Moreover, if one wants to become the total agent for all eight concert tickets, there's a huge profit space behind it, which could even reach billions of US dollars.

Threeiyo has already made a lot of money, but as a businessman, he won't let others take advantage of him. On the contrary, the more successful someone is in business, the less likely they are to let others take advantage of them.

So, at this moment, he almost blurted out that he didn't want to accept Leaf's proposal or politely decline it and then discuss the details of ticket agency work with him. His idea was simple: you can earn a huge amount of money quietly, but you can't do it alone; you need to give us some returns, at least 50%.

Leaf saw his hesitant expression and knew what he was thinking. He immediately opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Threeiyo, I want to emphasize one thing: I invited Tavanna to perform in China not because I appreciate her or want to make money, but simply because I think she's a big star who deserves to have the opportunity to perform in front of such a huge market and fan base. This is my chance to help Tavanna take her first step and bring some benefits to Chinese fans."

As he spoke, Leaf added, "As for these eight concert tickets, I will sell them at face value with fair and just principles, and I will also make thorough preparations to resist any scalping behavior. If I earn even a single cent from any of these concert tickets, I will give you all the ticket revenue and compensate you with 1 billion US dollars."

Threeiyo's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the compensation promise. Can Leaf really deliver on that promise?

"Threeiyo nodded in agreement, not daring to raise any further questions. 'It seems that you are genuinely willing to benefit Chinese fans, but I must remind you that scalping behavior is hard to control,' he said. 'Tavanna's concert is already very popular, and when she first comes to China, it will mean a lot more to the fans in terms of commemoration value. In this case, the tickets for the core areas will increase several times over, and many people will risk everything to get a ticket at a higher price.'"

"Even if you implement the full name system for purchasing tickets, ordinary citizens will find it hard to outcompete professional scalpers,' Threeiyo added. 'They have technical means, as well as guerrilla tactics, and they will always be able to get tickets with a higher probability.'"

"Don't worry," Leaf said calmly. 'I have my ways.'"

Seeing Leaf's response was so natural and confident, Threeiyo realized that Leaf might not be trying to make money through Tavanna's concert in China.

So he told Leaf, 'If you have a way to curb scalping prices, then I don't have any objections.'"

As he spoke, he also thought that since he was selling Leaf on an emotional level, why not just take it all the way and add two more concerts? He would let Leaf choose the cities and venues for these ten concerts, and as for Tavanna and her team's performance fees, they would adopt a box office revenue sharing model, with 70% or even higher going to the global organization. However, since he was working with Leaf, he was willing to accept 50%."

Leaf waved his hand dismissively: 'No need, we'll just go with the normal 70%. If I still have profits on my side, I'll donate all of them and not keep a single cent for myself.'"

Threeiyo's expression froze in surprise, and his mind was filled with doubts. 'Is Leaf really trying to give up this profit? Tavanna's ten concerts would only require some minor adjustments to the ticket prices to rake in several billion US dollars, enough to buy seven or eight Gulfstream G700 private jets. But he is not only giving up this money but also donating all of the concert's profits, leaving himself with nothing?'

"As for where Threeiyo got it from, with Leaf's reputation, this amount of money wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket. Moreover, he has always abhorred behind-the-scenes operations. This time, not only did he want to give some benefits to domestic fans, make Tavanna's economic effects contribute to China's GDP, but more importantly, he wanted to set an example for the domestic performance market, one that would eliminate ticket scalping and supercharge it instead, becoming a super-ticket-scalping business. Once Tavanna's concert could thoroughly eliminate ticket scalping, any future performances with ticket scalping would be clear as day.

At this moment, Leaf saw that all core conditions had been agreed upon and didn't want to continue discussing with the few people present, so he decided to hand over the matter to them, saying, 'Threeiyo sir, my wife is still waiting for me. I'll leave it up to you all to handle. I hope each of you can remember my requirements and avoid any mistakes.'

He didn't bother paying attention to Tavanna or Threeiyo but instead turned to Fei Ke Xin and said, 'Fei Miss, let's go in.'

'Okay!' Fei Ke Xin nodded heavily, making a polite bow, then spoke up, 'Please, Mr. Leaf, you lead the way.'

Leaf didn't bother responding to her either and started walking towards the party area.

Fei Ke Xin's eyes were only on Leaf, naturally following him closely, even not bothering to say hello to anyone else as she walked.

As Leaf left, Threeiyo suddenly relaxed his expression, finding it hard to understand. He was a man of great experience in the Jianghu and had received elite training from the Threei family for many years, but he didn't expect to feel such pressure when facing a young Chinese person like Leaf.

Tavanna was also under immense pressure in front of Leaf, but now that Leaf has left, she finally had the chance to release her pent-up emotions. JrNovels.com
