Finding Adolf, who was chatting with others, Xiao Yunhai said, "Gentlemen, can I have Mr. Adolf for five minutes?"
Ethan Lattimore joked, "Mr. Adolf isn't some peerless beauty. Mr. Xiao, you can use him as you wish."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. "Mr. Lattimore, are you saying that if Mr. Adolf is a beauty, you won't let him go?"
Everyone laughed loudly.
Arriving at an empty corner, Xiao Yunhai said, "Congratulations, Mr. Adolf. You've found a spendthrift and raised 3.85 billion USD for the organizing committee. I have to say, your gala is really profitable. "
Adolf said, "Mr. Xiao, this is something we didn't expect. You didn't ask me to come here just to talk about this, right? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "I'm here to buy the copyright."
Adolf was stunned and said, "Didn't we just sell it?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "My home country, Hua Xia. I don't think any TV station has bought it yet, right?"
Adolf asked in surprise, "Will Hua Xia be interested in our Grammy Awards?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. I just want to try. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, I'll put it on the Internet for fans to download. Tell me the price, how much is it? "
Adolf thought for a moment and said, "One billion USD."
Xiao Yunhai was amused when he heard that. He said, "Mr. Adolf, it seems like you don't know about Hua Xia's market.
Let's put it this way. A 60-episode TV series watched by more than 700 million people only brought me 2.4 billion USD. The Grammy Awards will only be broadcast for three hours. I don't even know if any advertisers will come to negotiate. You're asking for one billion USD. You really know how to joke. "
Adolf blushed and said, "I really don't know about Hua Xia's situation. How much do you think?
Is it suitable? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "50 million USD. That's my limit."
Adolf said in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, we sold it in Europe and the United States for 3.8 billion, but you only paid 50 million. That's impossible."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Adolf, the reason why you can sell for so much money is because the Grammys have already proven their value in Europe and America. Advertisers are flocking to you like a flock of ducks, waving large amounts of US dollars to the TV stations. Success is inevitable. But as for Hua Xia, the Grammy Awards have never been broadcasted live on TV, so it has almost zero appeal to advertisers. I even doubt if any advertisers would come to negotiate. The reason why I'm giving you 50 million USD is because I want to see if I can make some money from the video website. Forget it, since that's the case, I won't buy it. "
Adolf said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry. Aren't we in the middle of a discussion? Alright, 50 million it is. I also want to see if Hua Xia's fans will pay attention to the Grammys. "
Xiao Yunhai forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and deliberately pretended to be worried. He said in a low voice, "I hope my choice is not wrong."
Adolf seemed to be afraid that he would change his mind. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, can we sign the contract tonight?"
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Why the rush?"
Adolf said, "I'll be going to New York tomorrow morning. I'll probably be there for a week."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Alright then. I originally wanted to go back and discuss it with someone. Forget it, 50 million doesn't matter anyway. It doesn't matter if I lose the bet. "
Adolf said, "I'll get someone to prepare the contract now."
Ten minutes later, the two of them came to a small office and signed the contract.
Xiao Yunhai returned to the banquet with the contract. He said goodbye to Kree and prepared to go back.
Kree had nothing to do here. When he heard that Xiao was leaving, he left with him.
Kree's driver had not arrived yet, so Xiao Yunhai became his driver for free and sent him home.
In the car, Kree looked at the contract from beginning to end and said in surprise, "Oh my god. 50 million to buy the copyright of this year's Grammys in Hua Xia. You're going to make a killing. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Who knows if those advertisers will recognize it."
Although that was the case, Xiao Yunhai was not worried at all.
In the past two years, singers from Europe and America had invaded the Hua Xia music market on a large scale and had become familiar with their fans. Singers like Elliot and David, who had participated in "Singer's Night", were already very popular with everyone. Elliot, who was doing the best, had 30 million fans. The other singers were no less popular than Elliot.
Adolf obviously did not know about the current situation in Hua Xia. Xiao Yunhai took advantage of the loophole in his plan to sell as little as possible.
Kree said, "Xiao, if you're worried about the advertisers, then I'll reluctantly buy it for 60 million US dollars. Look, you've earned 10 million in less than ten minutes. Where else can you find such a good deal? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, 'Kree, I appreciate your kindness. But as the saying goes, don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you. How can I hand this hot potato to you? That's too disloyal. “
Kree said, "It's okay. I'm willing to bear this loss."
Xiao Yunhai pretended to be righteous and said, "How can that be? I can look for you for good things, but I'll bear the bad things myself. I won't implicate others even if I'm beaten to death. "
Kree was speechless and said, "In terms of shamelessness, you're still the best in the world. I don't understand. What are you going to do after buying the copyright? Marvel doesn't seem to have a television station in Hua Xia, right? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Indeed, we don't. But I can find a television station to cooperate with."
Kree said anxiously, "Then what do you think of our MGM Grand?"
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Aren't you going to sell it?"
"We only want to sell this television station in America. We've never thought of selling the television station in Hua Xia. Let me tell you a secret. MGM Grand television station's viewership ratings in Hua Xia are very good. Especially the few idol television dramas that we've invested in have achieved good results. Last month, our average viewership ratings reached 0.81%, ranking eighth among all the television stations in Hua Xia. How is it? Impressive, right? "
MGM Grand television station's development in Hua Xia was indeed very good. The programs that they broadcast were very suitable for Hua Xia's audience. The viewership ratings kept rising, even surpassing NNC and NBC.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Since you're so good, I can give it to you. But we're brothers, so we have to settle the accounts clearly. How much of the advertising revenue are you going to give me? "
Kree thought for a while and said, "How about 50%? I've calculated. When the Grammys red carpet show is held, it'll be 3 AM in Hua Xia. When the awards ceremony is held, it'll be 5 AM in the morning. The timing is very inappropriate. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "You don't need to find these reasons. 50% it is. To tell you the truth, what I care about the most is the online viewing fees. I really don't care about the advertising revenue. "
Kree said happily, "Then it's settled. You'll be in charge of the publicity. We'll only be in charge of inserting some advertisements in MGM Grand television station. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You're quite good at doing business. Alright, I promise you. Online publicity is nothing to Immensity Sea. But I have to tell you in advance. Once your television station finishes broadcasting, I'll immediately upload it to the Internet. "
Kree said, "No problem."
