Walking out of the hotel, George asked, "Xiao, is there a misunderstanding between you and Mr. Bix?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "It has already happened. How can there be a misunderstanding? George, you came out with me because you have something to say to me, right? "
George nodded and said, "Yes. Xiao, do you know that Annie likes you? "
Of course, Xiao Yunhai would not say that he knew. He shook his head and revealed an expression of disbelief. "Are you kidding me? I already have a wife and children. How can Annie like me? George, don't make wild guesses here. "
George said, "Xiao, my eyes can't be wrong. If this is true, what will you think? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Even if Annie really likes me, I will never accept her. I love my wife and children deeply. For them, I can even give up my life. Not to mention Annie, even if it's a girl ten times better than her, I won't accept her. Do you understand? "
"George, there's an idiom in Hua Xia that goes, 'Sincerity can move metal and stone.' Annie is a good girl. If you put in more effort into her, you will definitely be able to move her. I have high hopes for you. Do your best. "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, George was relieved and said, "I understand. Also, be careful of Jason. He's very sinister. "
Jason Steer had deliberately mentioned the scandal between Xiao Yunhai and Annie Winslet in front of him. George was indeed very angry at that time. However, he was not an ordinary person. After a few minutes, he understood that this was Jason Steer's scheme. Therefore, he reminded Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai nodded and smiled. "Thank you, I understand."
Back at the manor, Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise, "Hubby, why are you back so early?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I was almost angered to death."
"What's wrong?"
"Bix saw that our Marvel TV station's viewership ratings surpassed theirs. He felt that if he applied for the European TV broadcast rights for us, it would be a strong threat to him. He actually unilaterally tore up the contract. It's outrageous."
"The president of Time Warner actually went back on his word. This is really infuriating. By the way, how much is the penalty? "
"Because this is something that he and I agreed on, neither of us thought that the other would breach the contract, so we only set the penalty at two billion US dollars symbolically."
When Zhao Wanqing heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Hubby, I really admire you. A business worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but the penalty for breach of contract is only two billion? You're too trusting of others. 2 billion USD is nothing to Time Warner. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's why I'm angry. These American capitalists went back on their word and only had eyes for money. Hmph, the more they don't want me to open Marvel TV in Europe, the more I want to go. I don't believe that I won't be able to get a European broadcast license if I leave Time Warner. "
"You have a clue?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "In order to get this permission, I sold Paramount theme park to Picasso at a discount of more than 30 billion USD. In the end, my good intentions didn't pay off. Now that he's given up, I'll go to our government for help. At most, I'll use the 30 billion USD to buy it. "
"If it's really done, wouldn't Picasso suffer a double loss?"
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai was still sulking there, Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Alright, hubby, you've always been broad-minded and able to tolerate the heavens and earth. Why are you still unable to get over this little matter?"
Xiao Yunhai sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I'm upset, I'm just a little disappointed. I originally had a very good impression of Steve Picasso, but I didn't expect him to breach our agreement for such a reason. It's really disgusting. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "This shows that he's a real businessman, who knows how many times better than you. Alright, don't think about this anymore. Have you eaten? "
Xiao Yunhai touched his stomach and shook his head. He said, "How can I be full in such an occasion?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "That's good. I'll get the kitchen to make you something to eat. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded.
Not long after, five dishes and a soup were served.
After Xiao Yunhai finished eating, he took out his phone and called Liang Qianqiu.
"Uncle Liang, I'm sorry. Did I disturb your sweet dreams?"
It was now six o 'clock in the morning during Hua Xia. Xiao Yunhai wasn't sure if Liang Qianqiu had woken up.
Liang Qianqiu was a little out of breath. He said, "I'm old. How can I sleep in the morning? I'm running. Yunhai, do you have something important to say? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Uncle Liang, I want to ask you something. Can our Ministry of Culture help me get the television broadcasting rights in Europe?"
"Broadcasting rights in Europe? Hehe, looks like you want to open Marvel TV in Europe. That's right. Your Marvel TV station only used a week to reach the top of the ratings in North America. There's not much difference in culture between North America and Europe. I believe the ratings there will be good. Hehe, Yunhai, you're getting more and more amazing. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly. "What's so amazing about that? Uncle Liang, I originally didn't want to trouble our country. After all, my identity is there. Some things need to be avoided as much as possible. But these foreign companies are really too much. If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think I'm easy to bully. "
Liang Qianqiu chuckled. "You're talking about Time Warner, right? Aren't they applying for it for you? "
Xiao Yunhai was surprised. "Uncle Liang, you even know about this. Your intelligence network is too amazing."
Liang Qianqiu said, "You're now the leader of Hua Xia's cultural and entertainment industry. Of course, we have to pay attention to you. Why? Were you fooled by Bixby? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a depressed look, "This old guy would rather pay me 2 billion USD than let my Marvel TV station enter Europe. I was forced to call you because I had no other choice. Uncle Liang, can you do it or not? "
Liang Qianqiu said with a smile, "Of course you can. At that time, after Hua Xia's film and television protection barrier was removed, we signed a series of contracts with the European Union countries, including TV stations … "
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Liang Qianqiu's explanation.
According to the contract at that time, TV stations from the European Union countries could enter Hua Xia. As long as the application conditions were met, the Hua Xia government could not stop them for no reason.
Similarly, Hua Xia's domestic TV stations could also enter Europe. After meeting the conditions, Europe must issue a broadcast license to Hua Xia TV stations.
The number of TV stations stipulated by both sides was ten.
As of today, there were already eight TV stations in Europe that had entered Hua Xia, but there was not even one in Hua Xia.
Xiao Yunhai said happily, "Uncle Liang, does my Marvel TV station meet the requirements?"
Liang Qianqiu said, "No. You have two main problems. First of all, Marvel TV station is an American TV station. It doesn't belong to Hua Xia, so we can't control it at all. Second, you don't have a satellite signal that can cover Europe. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "The first problem is easy to solve. Can't I just buy a TV station in Hua Xia? When the time comes, let it receive the signal from Marvel TV station and then transmit it to Europe. I was just about to ask you the second question. Is Hua Xia going to launch three communication satellites to cover all corners of the world with TV signals? "
"How did you know about this, kid? Oh, by the way, you heard it from Yuanyang, right? "
"Uncle Liang, do you think this is still a secret now? Those big TV stations in Hollywood already know about it, okay? I'm the one who found out about it relatively late. Uncle Liang, don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me. "
Liang Qianqiu said with a smile, "Seems like you're thinking about these three satellites. Hehe, that's right, there's indeed such a thing. It should be up in the sky in another month. CCTV is setting up signal receiving stations in all parts of the world. If you want, I can report it for you. However, I'm afraid the price won't be cheap. "
Xiao Yunhai said happily, "That's great. The price is not a problem. Even if you give me a cheaper price, I won't dare to accept it. Just like that Yunqing Coal Company, I suffered a big loss. "
Liang Qianqiu said with a smile, "I know about this matter. It's spread all over Beijing, saying that you, the Young Master of the Xiao Family, are as timid as a mouse. Not only did you not take advantage of the Xiao Family's power, you even willingly gave up a lot of benefits to the government. You're simply the role model of a modern businessman. "
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "The Xiao Family is a big tree with deep roots. There are hidden arrows everywhere. I don't want to cause trouble for my family. It doesn't matter if we earn less money. "
Liang Qianqiu said with praise, "It's definitely the Xiao Family's fortune that you can think like that. How about this, I'll handle your matter for you. We'll do it step by step. First, you have to buy a TV station in Hua Xia. After you register it, I can help you apply for a European TV broadcasting license. It's about 400 million USD a year. 100 million will be given to Hua Xia and 300 million will be given to Europe. As for the satellite issue, I'll help you contact the Ministry of Information today. I think as long as you're willing to pay enough, they should agree. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "How about this? Uncle Liang, tell the Ministry of Information that if they agree to let me use our satellite, I'm willing to sponsor 2 billion USD for their research. "
Liang Qianqiu said, "That's not a problem. Just wait for my good news."
