That night, Xiao Yunhai met the dark-skinned and resolute Director Niu Zhengqi.
Niu Zhengqi had already learned about Xiao Yunhai's purpose from Liang Qianqiu. Before the dishes were ready, he spoke first.
"Mr. Xiao, you're the son of the old leader, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "That's good. I hate riddles too. Director Niu, just say it. "
Niu Zhengqi said, "Mr. Xiao, do you know how many TV stations have been eyeing our communication satellite since last week? A total of 37, including 23 domestic TV stations and 14 powerful foreign TV stations, all of them offering very high bids. Our satellite only has 12 signal receivers. Other than the CCTV Department 1, CCTV Department 4, and Mango TV Station that must be transmitted, there are only nine slots left for the 30 TV stations to fight over. "
Hua Xia's three communication satellites were no longer a secret in the world's film industry. Almost all the TV stations wanted the right to use it, and Xiao Yunhai was just one of them.
"Director Niu, since there are so many sellers, how do you plan to deal with them? Auction them? "Xiao Yunhai asked.
Niu Zhengqi shook his head and said, "Of course not. Hua Xia's own satellite naturally has to be reserved for our own TV stations. Other foreign TV stations can forget about it. But to get the right to use the satellite, two conditions must be met. First, they must have strong economic power. Second, the TV station must be able to broadcast globally. Unfortunately, almost none of the TV stations meet these conditions. "
"Mr. Xiao, you're the richest man in the world. Naturally, you won't have any financial problems. On the way here, I heard from Minister Liang that he's going to apply for the right to broadcast in Europe, South America, and other regions for you. Yunqing TV Station and Marvel TV Station can cover the entire world, so there won't be any problems. In other words, we're only left with the problem of the price. The usage fee for the communication satellite was set yesterday. It's 5 billion Hua Xia dollars a year. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yunhai finally understood. Niu Zhengqi had said so much because he was worried about the usage fee.
Indeed, he had privately asked Liang Qianqiu to invite him over for a meal. In Niu Zhengqi's eyes, he was trying to get some benefits through him.
Many of the second generation officials in the capital did this.
Their backgrounds were shocking, but they were also insatiably greedy. Niu Zhengqi and the others were most afraid of these second-generation officials. Not only could he not offend them, but he also had to strictly abide by his own moral conduct and bottom line, so that they would not get tired of him.
Xiao Yunhai was the richest man in the world and also a member of the Xiao family. If he went through the official route, he would definitely be able to pass the application. However, Xiao Yunhai had approached him in private. Naturally, he thought that Xiao Yunhai wanted to reduce some of the fees.
Niu Zhengqi said so much just to let Xiao Yunhai know how hard it was to get the right to use the satellite and shut him up.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Niu, don't worry. I didn't call you here to ask you to break your principles and save me the satellite usage fee. Even if you were willing, I wouldn't agree. If I, Xiao Yunhai, lose face for this little bit of money, then I, Xiao Yunhai, will lose more than I gain. Five billion a year is not a problem at all. Not only that, I can also donate two billion US dollars to you for research and development. Consider it my contribution to our country's scientific research. I only hope that you can help me get the relevant procedures for the right to use the satellite as soon as possible. Also, I want to buy it for ten years. I wonder if that's possible? "
"Oh, so that's what you're here for. Director Liang, why didn't you say so earlier? Mr. Xiao has donated more than 20 billion US dollars to charity. Why would he be reluctant to spend a little more than a billion US dollars for the usage fee? "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Niu Zhengqi was finally relieved. For the first time, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "Director Niu, after all this time, you've been worried about the usage fee. How would I know what you're thinking? Then what about Yunhai's matter? "
Niu Zhengqi patted his chest and said, "No problem at all. You just need to pay the money, and I can get it done for you immediately. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's great. Uncle Liang, when can my television broadcasting rights be approved? "
Liang Qianqiu thought for a moment and said, "This afternoon, I've already sent the application to the relevant regional governments. I estimate that it will only take a week for it to be approved."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "There won't be any accidents, right?"
Liang Qianqiu said, "Unless they want their own country's television stations to be banned in Hua Xia, they won't have the guts to reject us."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright. Director Niu, when I get the broadcasting rights, I'll immediately look for you. It'll be even better if everything can be settled before June. The main thing is that I really want to fight for the broadcasting rights of the World Cup. "
The Football World Cup was held every four years, and every time it was held, the organizing committee would make a lot of money.
They would usually send out invitations to the world's powerful television stations in late May to auction off the broadcasting rights of the World Cup in various regions.
Compared to the Grammy Awards, the World Cup's influence was greater, and the price was also higher.
In the last World Cup, the broadcasting rights of the European region were bought by NNC TV at a sky-high price of 27 billion US dollars, shocking the world at that time.
The final income was even more shocking. A total of 35 billion US dollars, with a net profit of 8 billion US dollars.
With the vigorous development of the television industry in the past four years, the competition for this World Cup was estimated to be even more intense. Some experts commented on the Internet that the broadcasting rights of the European region were likely to exceed 35 billion US dollars. Adding in Asia, America, Oceania, and other regions, it was conservatively estimated to be more than 80 billion US dollars.
When the time came, Xiao Yunhai's Yunqing TV station could step onto the world stage, he would definitely compete with others.
Even if it could not cover the whole world, Xiao Yunhai would not let go of the broadcasting rights of the North American region.
The World Cup was too attractive. Even the Olympics could not compare to it.
Niu Zhengqi said, "The approval on our side is not troublesome. As long as there are no problems with the materials, I can handle it for you on the same day."
Xiao Yunhai said happily, "That's great."
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "Since we're done with the business, shouldn't we eat? I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'll get someone to serve the dishes right away."
After a while, the waiter served a variety of Sichuan dishes. The guests and the host enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.
When they got home, Zhao Wanqing asked, "Honey, how's the progress of the TV station?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "It's unexpectedly smooth. Uncle Liang's side is done in a week. As for the approval of the right to use the satellite, it only takes a day. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Honey, then I have to congratulate you."
Xiao Yunhai looked at Zhao Wanqing's full breasts with a pair of lecherous eyes and said, "Honey, how are you going to celebrate with me? Just saying it won't do. "
Zhao Wanqing said snappily, "Put away your stupid face. I'm telling you, my period is here. You'd better behave. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa. He cried, "I'm so pitiful."
Zhao Wanqing saw his hopeless look and could not help laughing. She said, "Honey, I lied to you. Hahaha."
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "Zhao Wanqing, I'll let you know the consequences of lying to me."
What followed was naturally some scenes that were not suitable for children.
