Chapter 922: Other Live Streaming Platforms Panic!

Both Longyu Group and Tuwei Live were very efficient. After some simple communication, a rough contract was finalized at noon the next day.

The reason why it was done so quickly was mainly because Longyu Group was in a hurry.

The promotion of the ICL league has already started, and the preliminary preparations such as the venue are basically all right, except for the live broadcast that has not yet been finalized.

Those live broadcast platforms obviously knew that Longyu Group was in a hurry, so they deliberately delayed and wanted to lower the price again.

But what kind of temper is Eric? How could he get used to these people?

Except for sometimes having to bear with Mr. Pei, Eric can't bear with other situations.

After thinking about it, Eric felt that since all of you live broadcasting platforms want to lower the price, if you are so insincere, forget it!

Anyway, it's the same for any live streaming platform. Mr. Pei pays a lot of money and guarantees the publicity, so it's okay to cooperate.

In terms of strength alone, Tuwei Live cannot compare with several established live broadcasts, but if it is true that it will use part of the resources of Tenda Group to promote it as President Pei promised, then the energy of Tuwei Live will definitely not be inferior to other platforms .

Therefore, with Mr. Pei being very lenient on the price and conditions, the two parties quickly reached an agreement.

The main points stipulated in the contract are as follows:

First of all, this is an exclusive broadcast contract. Only Tuwei Live can broadcast the ICL league live on the entire network. The price is still the same as previously negotiated, 35 million.

Secondly, the contract requires that Tuwei Live must invest a lot of resources to promote the ICL League, whether it is on the website or off the website. Of course, Longyu Group will spare no effort to promote the ICL league.

Thirdly, if some force majeure or special circumstances occur, such as insufficient website bandwidth, live broadcast freezes affecting viewing, major public opinion events, etc., the party at fault shall bear certain losses, while the other party may terminate the contract unconditionally. Of course, after the cooperation is terminated, Longyu Group will partially refund the money according to the actual loss situation, and at the same time, the exclusive broadcasting right will also be terminated.

Finally, there is one additional clause. Even if neither party is obviously at fault, if one party wants to force the termination of the contract, it does not need to pay sky-high liquidated damages, but only needs to pay 20% of the price, which is 7 million, to terminate the contract.

Logically speaking, the last item should not be used, because if the two parties strictly abide by the provisions of the contract, ICL's live broadcast and publicity work should be very successful, and the contract will not be forced to be terminated.

The reason why this supplementary clause was added was mainly because of the old enemy relationship between the two parties, which made Eric very distrustful of the cunning Mr. Pei.

For Pei Qian, this contract is also completely fine. After the legal departments of both parties made a study and decision, Pei Qian sent Chen Yufeng to take people to Shanghai to formally sign the contract and discuss detailed cooperation matters.

...

Yangcheng, ZZ Live Headquarters.

The new functions that Liu Liang arranged before have already been developed in a hurry in the state of 996. A stone in his heart has finally landed, and he can take a little rest.

Recently, he also had a few phone calls with Zhao Xuming, and briefly exchanged opinions on the issue of ICL's broadcast rights. Liu Liang's thinking is the same as that of Mr. Zhu of Langya Live, hoping to lower the price again.

The ICL League is coming soon, and there is not much time left for Zhao Xuming. In the end, he will probably have to make some concessions.

Of course, Liu Liang didn't want to make a fuss too rigid, after all, he still had to cooperate in the future. As long as Zhao Xuming wants to drop it by a little more than one million and let the ICL league's broadcasting rights return to its due value, Liu Liang plans to buy it.

It's just that Zhao Xuming called a lot before, but today he didn't make a single call, which surprised Liu Liang a little.

At this moment, Liu Liang heard hurried footsteps outside his office, and then someone knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Liu Liang looked up and saw that it was the employee who was in charge of connecting with Longyu Group for ICL broadcast related matters.

"If you are in a hurry, speak slowly."

"In work, you must maintain a calm and natural attitude, neither arrogance nor impetuosity. If you panic first, how can you do your job well?"

"In the future, you must be like me, and be calm about changes."

Liu Liang saw that this buddy was not breathing well, and criticized his restless behavior.

The employee was not in the mood to worry about these details, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu, something is wrong!"

"It seems that Zhitou Company is going to sell the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL to Tuwei Live!"

Liu Liang's expression changed instantly, and he jumped up from his chair: "Rabbit live broadcast?"

"Exclusive rights?"

"When did this happen!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Liu Liang's series of questions overwhelmed the employee's mind.

"Mr. Liu, I just found out about this. The cooperation between the two companies seems to be very fast. It seems that it was finalized within a day or two. The specific details are still unclear, but it seems that the chance of success is very high... ..."

Liu Liang was in a daze.

This was so beyond his expectation, completely unexpected!

Tuwei live broadcast and ICL league, no matter how you look at it, they are two things that are completely incompatible!

President Pei said before that Tuwei Live does not constitute direct competition with other live broadcast platforms, and is a platform that focuses on knowledge and education, and the promotion and live broadcast content of Tuwei Live has indeed verified this point.

It stands to reason that even if you want to broadcast games live, you should first dig a few big anchors from GOG or rebroadcast GPL to try the water. What does it mean to spend a lot of money to buy ICL's exclusive broadcasting rights?

As for the ICL league, is the agreed finger company and Tenda Group deadly rivals? It is agreed that ioi and GOG are the biggest competitors?

Eric and Zhao Xuming suffered so much from Mr. Pei, shouldn't they simply refuse to cooperate with Mr. Pei?

Before Liu Liang actually thought about whether there would be other live broadcasting platforms vying for the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL, but after a few days of observation, he felt that this possibility was very slim.

Because the price of ICL's broadcast rights is already inflated, there is no need to take such a big risk to buy an exclusive broadcast when the league is not sure whether it can be run well.

Wouldn't it be good for everyone to work together to lower the price of broadcasting rights and get ICL's broadcasting rights at the lowest price and with the least risk?

But I never expected that Mr. Pei's rabbit tail live broadcast suddenly jumped out!

This disrupted Liu Liang's overall plan, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

Before, he let his employees calm down and maintain an attitude of neither arrogance nor impetuosity, but now he is even more panicked than the employees.

The two stared at each other, and the employee hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liu, what should we do?"

Liu Liang's brain was running fast: "I'll give Zhao Xuming a call!"

If the contract between Longyu Group and Tuwei Live has not been signed, there is still the possibility of cutting off the Hu.

Everyone knew that Boss Pei was always swift and efficient in his work, so Liu Liang didn't dare to delay, so he called Zhao Xuming immediately.

It kept ringing a lot before the other side picked it up slowly: "Hello? Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

Zhao Xuming's attitude was indescribably calm and at ease.

Liu Liang's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the situation was not good.

In the past, Zhao Xuming rushed to find him to sell ICL's broadcasting rights. He was very polite and offered various preferential conditions.

But now, Zhao Xuming's tone was obviously cold.

Liu Liang hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you are discussing ICL's exclusive broadcast rights with Tuwei Live?"

Zhao Xuming was noncommittal: "Ah, what's wrong?"

Liu Liang: "Mr. Zhao, you are a bit out of character! We have been discussing broadcasting rights before, but we haven't reached a conclusion yet. You are suddenly going to sell the exclusive broadcasting rights to Tuwei Live. I don’t even know how to say it, is it a bit unreasonable?”

Zhao Xuming smiled: "Oh, Mr. Liu, actually I planned to tell you tomorrow, after we formally signed the contract with Tuwei Live. Oh, you can't blame us, the main reason is that you behaved right There is not much interest in the ICL league, of course we have to find a more suitable buyer."

Obviously, Zhao Xuming is also unforgiving now. Although he won't say anything serious, it's unavoidable to sarcasm with a stick.

Because Zhao Xuming also begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother to find these live broadcast platforms to sell ICL's broadcast rights. As a result, the vice presidents of these live broadcast platforms suppressed the price and postponed one by one. fire.

You can do the first grade of junior high school, but I can’t do the fifteenth grade?

Now that this is the case, you must have a verbal refreshment and get rid of the anger of the previous few days!

Liu Liang didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly continued: "Haven't signed the contract yet? That's good. Mr. Zhao, it's not that we are not interested in the ICL league. The main reason is that we were still investigating. Now the results of the investigation have come out. We also want the broadcasting rights of ICL! Or should we sell it at the price you proposed earlier?"

"10 million, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuming chuckled: "I'm sorry, I can't sell it. To be honest, the conditions offered by Tuwei Live are very, very generous! I just can't disclose the specific amount."

"In fact, Mr. Liu, I can understand your thoughts. After all, the ICL League is a newly established league. No one can guarantee that it will be successful. Buying broadcasting rights at a high price is indeed very risky."

"Since this is the case, you don't have to take these risks for now. After this season is over, when the broadcasting rights are sold next season, let's talk about it in detail!"

"Sorry, I still have work to do here, so I'll hang up first, and we'll get in touch later."

After Zhao Xuming finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

"Hello? Hello!"

Liu Liang was so angry that he walked around in his office three times in a row. .

On the one hand, he was angry because of Zhao Xuming's change of attitude, and on the other hand, he was also angry because of the live broadcast of Tuwei.

What kind of plan is this Boss Pei planning!

While saying that Tuwei Live will not pose a threat to other live broadcast platforms, the main content is knowledge content, but in the end, he bought the exclusive broadcast rights of ICL at a high price after changing hands, which caught us by surprise!

But it's useless for Liu Liang to be angry, because soldiers never tire of deceit, and shopping malls are like battlefields, so it's normal to release some fake news.

Boss Pei is such a false and unpredictable person.

Liu Liang paced back and forth in his office, thinking about what to do about this matter.

Seeing that Zhao Xuming's attitude is so firm, Tuwei Live must have offered benefits and prices that he couldn't refuse.

This is also normal, after all, Mr. Pei is willing to spend money no matter what industry he is in. If you want the old enemy, Finger Company, to give up the previous hatred and cooperate together, it will definitely give you a lot of money.

That is to say, unless several live broadcast platforms such as ZZ Live and Langya Live join together to offer a much higher price than before, and the combined price is 20% or more higher than that of Tuwei Live, it will be possible to cut off the Hu.

But this gets you into a very awkward situation:

In the past, about 9 million can be won, but now it is plain to add another three or four million or more, which is a blood loss mentality and is difficult to accept;

The interests of each live broadcast platform are not completely consistent. If one live broadcast platform refuses to cooperate with them, the cooperation will fail.

But what if I give up ICL's broadcast rights?

Although it doesn't look like there will be much loss on the surface, everyone knows how sensitive Mr. Pei is to the industry and how well he grasps the game and e-sports industries.

In the field of games and e-sports, Mr. Pei can be regarded as a godfather figure. He thinks he is the second in the country, and no one dares to recognize the first.

Mr. Pei has his eyes on ICL, and directly paid a big price to all in to win the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL. Does this mean that the value of ICL is far beyond everyone's imagination?

So, if you miss this opportunity, will you vomit blood with regret later?

Now that the price has increased by three or four million, there is still a possibility of giving it a go. What if the price increases by five or six million in the future and you can't buy it?

Liu Liang never expected that in just one or two days, the situation would take a turn for the worse.

"Forget it, the contract will be signed tomorrow, and it's too late even if we want to cooperate with other live broadcast platforms to cut off the Hu. It's unrealistic for our family to grab the exclusive broadcast right. The price is too high and the risk is too great, not to mention Mr. Pei will definitely follow us Keep bidding."

"It can only be said that Mr. Pei's move was really precise and ruthless. He calculated the reactions of Zhitou and our several live broadcast platforms, and took advantage of such an excellent opportunity to directly grab the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL."

"We can only take one step at a time. If the cooperation between ICL and Tuwei Live is not good, maybe we still have a chance..."

Liu Liang thought about it, but he didn't come up with a good solution, so he had no choice but to give up and wait and see what happened.
