After Zhicheng left, Xiao Yunhai stretched his body and said, "With this Manager Zhicheng, I'm half relieved."
Christy smiled and said, "This is the first time you've met him, and you've entrusted him with such an important task. Aren't you afraid that something will happen? "
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "I'm not wrong about people. This Zhicheng is a sincere gentleman, not a shameless villain. If you let such a person go to the mall and play tricks with others, he'll definitely lose. But if you let him manage a more professional job like the coal company, there won't be any problems. "
Christy nodded and said with admiration, "Mr. Xiao, you really know how to make good use of people."
Xiao Yunhai said proudly, "My management philosophy is to put the right person in the right position, then I'll be able to relax. Hahahaha. "
Christy couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.
At seven o 'clock that night, Xiao Yunhai arrived at the Royal Hotel.
This was the best hotel in Los Angeles, and it was very luxurious. It was said that it only served billionaires or famous people. Ordinary people couldn't even dream of entering, even if they had the money. It was a real luxury.
In the United States, there were only a dozen Royal Hotels, and the cost of one night was at least 100,000 dollars. Of course, the service was really good.
Xiao Yunhai got out of the car, and a waiter immediately came up to him, took the key, and parked the car on the side.
After looking around, Xiao Yunhai suddenly found that his car was the most inconspicuous. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Walking into the hotel, a tall French blonde wearing a Hua Xia cheongsam came over with a sweet smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, welcome to our Royal Hotel."
Xiao Yunhai took out the invitation in his hand and said, "I'm here to attend the auction banquet hosted by the chairman of the Grammy Awards, Cliff Adolf. Where is the venue? "
The blonde said, "Mr. Xiao, please follow me."
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him who walked with boundless grace, as well as the waitresses walking back and forth beside her, Xiao Yunhai thought to himself: "This Royal Hotel really lives up to its reputation."
Walking into a hall, Xiao Yunhai found that there were already many people inside. They were holding wine glasses and chatting in twos and threes.
The waitresses were like butterflies, weaving in and out of the guests. Their movements were very standard and practiced.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai come in, Cliff immediately came up to him.
"Mr. Xiao, you're finally here."
Xiao Yunhai laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Cliff Adolf shook his head and said said, "That's not it. We agreed, you're. you're early arrived half an hour's't You're,, you're... "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's fine as long as we don't waste everyone's time. Hey, isn, isn't that? Why is he here? Also, didn't you only a Hua's, there? Why do I see no less than a hundred people here? "
Cliff Adolf laughed and said, "This kind of auction is not formal, so we invite some well-known people in the circle to be witnesses to prevent problems."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I see."
Their conversation attracted the attention of some other people.
"Mr. Mason Mullen, it seems that there will be some changes in tonight's auction. With the richest man in the world, it won't be easy for NNC TV to get the copyright of the Grammys, "NNC TV's director, Ethan Lattimore, said playfully.
Mason Mullen took a sip of red wine and said, "Mr. Lattimore, isn't it the same for NBC TV? I heard that you're going to do whatever it takes to get it. "
Ethan Lattimore smiled and said, "You're really well-informed. Unfortunately, no matter how determined we are, without funds, we'll still be reduced to spectators. Mr. Xiao's Marvel TV will premiere tomorrow. He's definitely going to get a show that can increase ratings and increase his influence. Not to mention us, even the parent company behind us might not be able to match him in terms of funds. "
Mason Mullen said, "Then let's wait and see."
Xiao Yunhai was talking to Cliff Adolf when Kree walked over with a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Adolf, sorry to disturb you. Can I have a word with Mr. Xiao alone?"
Cliff Adolf nodded and said, "Of course."
After Cliff Adolf left, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Why are you looking for me, kid?"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but their relationship hadn't become estranged.
Kree laughed and said, "Xiao, I really do have something to ask of you. I hope that our MGM Grand's excellent TV series or variety show can be broadcast on Marvel TV. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course, no problem. That's a good thing. However, doesn't your MGM Grand have your own TV station? Why do you want to broadcast it on Marvel TV? "
Kree sighed and said, "We're going to sell MGM Grand TV station."
Xiao Yunhai was shocked and asked, "Why do you want to do that?"
Kree said, "It's because we can't operate it anymore. Our MGM Grand TV station only covers six states. Compared to your behemoths, we're too far behind. Now, the average ratings are less than one-thousandth. If this continues, we'll lose money. "
The American TV industry could be said to be filled with eight immortals crossing the sea. The first-tier TV stations that could cover North America were NNC, NBC, and IMD. The others, such as Marvel, GE, Paramount, and Disney, were also busy with this matter. As for the second-tier TV stations, there were even more, about two to three hundred of them. It was very difficult to stand out among them.
MGM Grand TV station didn't even have any advantage over the second-tier TV stations, let alone the first-tier TV stations.
Xiao Yunhai said, "So that's how it is. Alright, when the time comes, we'll pay you according to the advertising revenue for your TV series. However, let's be a gentleman first. Marvel TV station only accepts quality products. We'll only broadcast it on the TV station if it passes Marvel's review department. If it's a shoddy TV series, don't use it to embarrass yourself. "
Kree smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao, the competition is so fierce now. Which big company would produce such lousy TV series?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and nodded. "That's true. Eh, isn't this Paramount's Franklin? I didn't expect him to be here too. "
Franklin felt a gaze looking at him, and when he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yunhai, his entire face quickly darkened, and he hurriedly changed location.
Kree was amused and said, "Xiao, what's wrong with him? He's looking at you with a hint of disgust. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said nonchalantly, "This person is too petty and narrow-minded. If Paramount is handed over to him, it will definitely follow in Hanks's footsteps."
Kree said unhappily, "Forget it. If you hadn't paid ten times the price to modify the screen for him, would he have looked at you with such a gaze? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with me. Who asked them to be willing? "
Half an hour later, Adolf walked onto the stage with a wine glass in his hand.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy that all of you are here to participate in our Grammy's copyright auction. Without further ado, let's start now. "
As Adolf spoke, the staff at the scene had already distributed the bidding boards to everyone.
"This auction is divided into the European and North American regions. Whoever offers the highest price will get it. The base price is 500 million USD, and each bid must not be less than 10 million USD. Of course, if you find it troublesome, you can directly call out the price. But I want to remind everyone that in the following auction, we will be legally responsible for what we say. Alright, let's auction the European region's copyright first. I wonder who is interested? "
"Our NBC TV station offers 800 million USD," NBC TV station's director, Ethan Lattimore, raised his board and shouted.
"900 million USD." Next to him, NNC TV station's Mason Mullen did not stop and added another 100 million USD.
Kree took a sip of red wine and sighed. "These two biggest TV stations in Europe and America are really rich. They increased the bid by 400 million USD. They are too rich. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Why? Are you jealous? "
Kree said, "Of course. There's a saying in Hua Xia, 'leaning against a big tree is the best shade.' It's good to have a backer. "
"I bid 1 billion USD."
Xiao Yunhai looked at the third bidder. It was a white man with a big beard.
Kree said, "The director of IMD TV station, Elvis Neuss. I didn't expect him to join in the fun."
