Any sponsorship of size is good news..

Chery was out of the equation given Renault/MG, but they're with St Kilda anyway.

The 2020s answer to MyATM

MyATM is a mere speck that UnionPay stepped on. Dont know the financial details, but they are HUGE, with all capitals. Going to make a big push into the Australian market, and like MG, are using the PAFC as a vehicle. I sense Mr Gui's fingerprints on this.

Is there any financial benefit to Port?

Yes sponsorship = money

Is this what kochie uses to scam old grannies?

 

[Coobk001]

Seems good, article was deliberately vague on what their actual level of sponsorship is IMO.

Didn’t realise we still had any Chinese connections

 

[Grave Danger]

Port Adelaide Football Club has already signed a contract with UnionPay International and Intella Payments at the CIIE. The club has attended this expo three times, and its general manager for commercial and partnerships Brett Mathers considers this particular one to be the most important. This year's CIIE is especially notable as it is the first one since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, he noted.

"This one is significant for us given that we've signed a long-term partnership with UnionPay International and Intella Payments under support from Sequoia Financial which will see some new and innovative payment methods coming back to Australia, and Port Adelaide Football Club will be able to help promote this to our members and fans and a broader Australian community. We are really excited about that," Mathers said.

[Doctor Feel]

Chinese state owned...mmm

 

[OneGreatClub]

MG

Oh that’s right

 

[TeeKray]

Chinese state owned...mmm

The entire Australian economy is kept afloat by selling stuff to CCP owned companies, it's pointless rallying against it.

 

[Tibbs]

Oh that’s right

Excuse the high-tech graphics ...

So now we have ...
MG Motors
Shanghai Cred
UnionPay & Intella

Mr Gui effectively funded the China endeavor, and despite Covid shutting it down, we are still reaping sponsorship rewards.

Also very vague and flowery on what it actually is

Looks like it was written by Holly

They are a Chinese version of Visa and Mastercard, only bigger (because China).

Is ‘partnership’ new speak for sponsorship?

 

[Port2Power]

If this is what it takes to get us out of debt so be it.
Not a big fan of CCP controlled or influenced companies (which is 99.9999% in China)

 

[Poo Eckert]

Are we going back to play in China? I liked it

All credit card companies have the same soul destroying ethos.
Doesn’t matter which entity controls them at the end of the day.
They’ll take everything you own to keep their profits up.

I went to a club event not that long ago and the club virtually ruled out further games in China unless the State/Federal government really stepped up. Otherwise it consumes too many internal resources
