Chapter 453 When My Face, Dig My Corner
The last time Yang Huan came to Yongming Stadium in Miami, he was deeply impressed by the large empty parking lot outside Yongming Stadium. At that time, his first reaction was, it is so big, can it be fully parked?
But this time, when he came to the Yongming Stadium in Miami, he found that it had almost become a sea of cars.
At a glance, all are cars, all kinds of cars, just like the car kingdom.
Not to mention how shocking it was!
"If your Fox shooting team can capture this scene from mid-air, that's really awesome, it must be popular all over the world!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
James Murdoch was also shocked by the pomp of this scene.
They are just looking up in the car now, and they already think it is very spectacular. If they are shot from the sky, wouldn't it be scary?
Thinking about it, suddenly, the rich second generation of the News Corporation took out his mobile phone and made a phone call.
"Robin, can you use a drone to take pictures of Yongming Stadium and the parking lot in mid-air?"
Hearing this, Yang Huan was also happy. It was really the essence of the second generation of the rich.
But don't think it's nonsense, this is also a manifestation of strength, and it is also a way to please the audience.
I haven't seen any major events, and the broadcast agency will first take a few close-ups of the outside of the stadium, and some even take high-altitude aerial shots. The scene is really pleasing to the eye.
"Well, well, you will try it right away, yes, try it now!"
Having said that, James Murdoch hung up the phone and looked at the parking lot in the distance with anticipation.
"We have long had the idea of trying to use drones to shoot high-altitude footage, but we have never had the opportunity to materialize. This time Yongming Stadium just gave us a chance!"
In the past, many aerial shots of the outside scenes of the stadium were actually shot on the high-rise buildings around the stadium, and the angle was relatively single. If you can use a drone to shoot, the effect will definitely be different.
""Baidu·Qihang Text" Mr. Huan! "
The two had just arrived at the internal parking lot of Yongming Stadium, got out of the car, and stepped into the gate with one foot, and there was a person next to them.
Yang Huan and James Murdoch both turned their heads to see who was coming, and their expressions suddenly changed.
The former was obviously quite happy, while the latter's face more or less had a kind of rush to go out and step on it.
Not the suave CEO of BT, Gavin Patterson.
As soon as the guy who unbuttoned the three buttons approached, he immediately greeted with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Murdoch!"
This time James Murdoch's face changed completely.
Everyone knows that his relationship with his father Murdoch is very bad, and there is almost no contact except for the working relationship.
Therefore, James? Murdoch hates others to call him Mr. Murdoch, or little Murdoch.
Whether familiar or unfamiliar, he was willing to be called James by others.
Now, when I heard Gavin Patterson call him that on purpose, I got angry and snorted coldly, and I agreed.
Gavin Patterson just wanted to disgust him, but he didn't care, he smiled and approached Yang Huan.
"Master Huan, I'll discuss something with you!"
"What's the matter?" Yang Huan knew that this guy had such a personality, and there was nothing he could do about him.
"The copyright of the International Champions Cup has only been sold for one year, right?"
When he asked this question, James Murdoch's eyelids twitched. What does this guy want to do?
When my face, dig my corner?
Is it too much?
"Huh?" Yang Huan said nothing.
"Sell it to us next year without British Telecom, how much money other people pay, we are only high and not low!"
Gavin? Patterson said this, it is really indescribable wealth.
James Murdoch was annoyed, this guy did it on purpose, right?
"You know that BT has a lot of money recently. You just grabbed two of the most valuable Premier League broadcast rights packages, and now you're going to grab the rights to broadcast the International Champions Cup?"
Having said this, James Murdoch smiled slightly, "But unfortunately, I have already negotiated with Master Huan just now!"
"It's over?" Gavin Patterson looked at Yang Huan.
Yang Huan did not deny it, but nodded.
"Isn't that the contract hasn't been signed yet?"
This time James Murdoch's expression changed.
To say Gavin? Patterson, is definitely a very capable person.
After this guy took charge of British Telecom, he has been ambitious to enter the core market of Sky TV, that is, media services. At the same time, they are also actively planning to transform the field of Internet video.
It can be seen that this guy is not like what the outside world has heard, except for messing with men and women.
On the contrary, this guy has the right vision!
Not to mention anything else, on the one hand, he teamed up with a number of TV stations to jointly participate in the bidding for the broadcast rights of the Premier League, and it was enough to win the match package from Sky TV at a high price, including the prime live broadcast time from Saturday afternoon to evening. Make Sky TV feel threatened.
Everyone knows that broadcasting of top sports events, especially no Premier League broadcasting, is the core business of Sky TV.
This move by BT clearly threatens the existence of Sky TV!
But this is just the first step for Gavin Patterson.
While holding some of the Premier League broadcast rights, he also persuaded the board of directors to spend 3 billion pounds to deploy a high-speed optical fiber network throughout the UK, which is expected to complete 90% coverage in 2015.
Once the layout is completed, BT will become Sky's strongest competitor in the UK market.
From the perspective of peers, James Murdoch has to admire this romantic guy.
But from the standpoint of a competitor, he was eager for Gavin Patterson to get out of the way!
In the past half a year, I don't know what happened. This guy became friends with Yang Huan and others. He also organized and planned the carnival of the rich second generation of the Saints fan club many times. This made James Murdoch again. felt threatened.
Who knows if this guy will use this relationship to persuade Yang Huan?
Of course, Sky TV has enough confidence to keep the existing resources and the country that it has finally conquered.
But there is no doubt that BT has become a confidant.
Thinking of this, James Murdoch couldn't help but secretly wake up in his heart. When he turned back, he had to ask the company's people to talk quickly, and even give up more benefits and pay more, so he had to sign the contract quickly.
Who knows what the hell this guy who unbuttons three buttons has?
"Master Huan, I'll go first!"
James Murdoch pleaded guilty to Yang Huan.
"Okay, James, let's talk later!" Yang Huan smiled and sent him around to leave.
After James Murdoch left, Gavin Patterson shrugged gloomily, "Is it necessary to show me a face?"
Yang Huan smiled, "Just like you, I don't plan to give you a good face!"
"Isn't it? Master Huan, I'm doing you a favor!" Gavin Patterson asked for credit with a smile.
"Really? I don't think so!" Yang said happily.
But I know in my heart that Gavin Patterson's involvement in this way is indeed a big help to Miracle Media.
The most feared thing in everything is competition. Now that Sky TV has no such threat as British Telecom, are you afraid that Sky TV will not spend more money?
Gavin Patterson is a smart man. He knows very well that BT does not have the resources of Sky TV, so in the short term, no matter how high the price he offers, Master Huan will not let BT compete.
You must know that BT has never broadcast sports games before, and now they have no Premier League broadcast rights, they are just familiar with the market operation in this field.
Because this event is not mature enough, it needs to be managed and promoted.
James Murdoch is not an idiot. He also understands his own advantages and Yang Huan's thoughts, so he doesn't need to worry about being taken away, but he will definitely feel threatened and will pay more attention to it.
"I heard that Sky TV and Vodafone recently formed an alliance and will launch a service at the same time!"
Gavin Patterson was a little surprised by Yang Huan's sudden and unreasonable remarks.
What does it mean?
Yang Huan looked at him like that and shook his head and smiled," Scudemore said that in the next three years, there will be no Premier League Internet and mobile Internet broadcast rights revenue, which will double, and will even compete with local pay TV and overseas broadcast rights in the future! "
Gavin Patterson heard this and immediately understood.
What Master Huan means is that Sky TV has begun to actively deploy on the Internet and mobile Internet.
And a very important reason why Sky TV can't wait so much is that the UK will not launch a 4G network this year.
In other words, the time to watch high-definition Premier League live broadcasts on mobile phones is ripe!
To say that no Premier League broadcast rights have landed on the Internet, we have to talk about the EU's antitrust laws.
Back then, when the European Union opposed Sky TV's monopoly on the copyright of the Premier League, many people thought it was a blow to the absence of the Premier League.
As everyone knows, no Premier League thief is very sophisticated, and the abacus is ringing.
As early as 2004, when the anti-monopoly came out, the live broadcast technology on the Internet was already very mature, but all broadcasters in the new media field had to ask Sky TV to buy the copyright, and the Premier League didn’t share every penny. not.
But as soon as the anti-monopoly came out, the Premier League negotiated with Sky TV and directly took the copyright of the Internet and mobile live broadcasts. The first contract was sold for 400 million pounds.
And this money, for the Premier League and the team, is considered a lot.
Now, with the rapid development of the Internet and mobile Internet, the broadcast rights of the Premier League in the new media field are also becoming more and more popular, and the broadcast fee has also risen.
Sky TV cooperates with Vodafone for the simple reason that Sky TV has resources and Vodafone has high-speed broadband network.
Obviously, this is for BT!
This time, Gavin Patterson couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If Master Huan had not given such a reminder, he might have been the same as ITV and Setanta back then, and he would not regret it until he was brought down by Sky TV.
For a time, Gavin Patterson's eyes looking at Master Huan were filled with emotion.
But Master Huan didn't look at him, but looked ahead with a smile.
On the opposite side, there was already an old man with gray hair but a strong pace who walked over with a laugh.
He stretched out his hand towards Yang Huan from a distance, "Mr. Yang Huan!"
Yang Huan also hurried up to meet him, holding the man's hand with a smile, "Hello, Mayor Regalado!"
The two shook hands and immediately walked away with the staff next to Regalado to take pictures.
Gavin Patterson clearly saw who was coming, but it wasn't the Mayor of Miami, Regalado!
"Tonight is very lively, Yongming Stadium has not been as lively as tonight for a long time." Regalado said with a smile.
Miami does not have a football team, so Yongming Stadium is more used as the stadium of Miami's local football team, the Dolphins. Interestingly, the major shareholders of the Dolphins are Stephen Ross and the two famous tennis players, the Williams sisters. .
But in recent years, the Miami Dolphins' performance has been quite bad, always aiming to reach the playoffs, coupled with the economic downturn, so the attendance rate of Yongming Stadium is also very low.
It has been many years since I saw such a crowded and full-fledged event like this evening.
So, as the mayor of Miami, Regalado is also very excited.
This is a great opportunity to appear on the stage, have fun with the people, and please the voters. How can you not be excited? 〖To be continued〗【】
