Five minutes later, Brandon Dreiser shook his arm and thought to himself, "I didn't have a single song. Now I have two songs, and both are so good. It's great. Which one should I choose? "
Just as he was in a dilemma, Garfield Robbins, the president of the International Football Association, saw that his office was wide open. He knocked on the door and walked in.
"Brandon, what are you doing here? Are you still worried about the theme song? "
Brandon Dreiser shrugged and smiled bitterly. "I'm indeed worried. But unlike before, I don't know which song to choose because they're too good. It seems that giving up any one of them would be a huge loss. Garfield, since you're here, why don't you listen and give me some ideas? "
The two of them were friends who had worked together for many years. They had a very good relationship, so they spoke very casually.
Garfield Robbins knew very well that his brother had been worried about not having a suitable theme song for the World Cup. He even mentioned it during the meeting in the afternoon. He didn't expect that in just two hours, he would have two suitable songs. This surprised Garfield Robbins.
After listening to the two songs by Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, Garfield Robbins slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "These two songs are amazing. Any one of them can be called a classic of the World Cup. Who wrote them? They're too talented. "
Brandon Dreiser said, "Both songs were written by the world's richest man, Kungfu Xiao. The singers are him and his wife, Ms. Zhao."
Robbins suddenly realized and said, "So it's him. He's indeed the world's pop king. Since both songs are so good, we might as well take them both. I heard that Ms. Zhao has become a world-class pop queen. Her songs have been number one on the American charts for six consecutive weeks. With Mr. Xiao, the pop king, it's hard for our World Cup not to be popular with the two of them. "
Brandon Dreiser nodded and said, "That's good. I'll call Mr. Xiao and ask the couple to record the music video for the World Cup as soon as possible. "
Garfield Robbins waved his hand and smiled. "Don't worry. Their identities were not ordinary, so calling them would be too informal. Tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Xiao and Ms. Zhao will come to our auction in New York. We can talk to them then. I think the most important thing is to get someone to write a script for the music video based on their songs as soon as possible. "
"That's right. I'll arrange it now."
At ten o 'clock in the morning on May 28th, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing arrived in New York by private jet, along with Ms. Christy.
Originally, the director of Yunqing TV Station, Robert Dornheim, was also going to come over, but he had something important to do at the last minute, so he flew to Europe.
Yesterday, Hua Xia had successfully brought three communication satellites into their predetermined orbits. He had gone to Europe to deal with the broadcasting of America's Yunqing Television Station. Due to sufficient preparation, it was believed that the signal could cover the whole of Europe in less than a week.
Xiao Yunhai and his group stayed in a five-star hotel. After lunch, Christy introduced the auction to Xiao Yunhai.
"Mr. Xiao, the auction for the broadcasting rights of the World Cup is divided into several regions, including Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, and Asia. The people who are participating in the auction are all world-class television stations, and there are no less than 20 of the world's top 100 billionaires. The competition will be more brutal than we thought before."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "The International Football Association really knows how to make money. Our Yunqing TV Station's signal has already covered North America, Europe, and Asia, so let's get the broadcasting rights in these three regions at all costs. "
Christy said, "Mr. Xiao, what's your bottom line?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "We brought a total of 85 billion US dollars this time. The competition for broadcasting rights in Europe is the fiercest. If Yunqing TV Station wants to make a name for itself there, we must get the broadcasting rights. My bottom line is no more than 50 billion US dollars. Next is Asia. We are not famous there, but there are billions of fans there. Our influence is too great. My bottom line is 30 billion. We must get these two regions. If necessary, we can even give up on North America. "
Yunqing TV Station had already made a name for itself in North America. It had been the champion in the ratings for three consecutive weeks. It could be said that it was a household name. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai focused on Europe and Asia.
Christy nodded and said, "I understand. I don't think we should need that much money to buy the broadcasting rights. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to do things without any mistakes."
The broadcasting rights of the World Cup four years ago were only sold for 80 billion. No matter how much it developed, it was impossible to double the price four years later.
Xiao Yunhai used 85 billion US dollars to buy the broadcasting rights of the World Cup in Europe and Asia. It could be said that it was in the bag.
At 2: 30 in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai walked into the auction house with Zhao Wanqing and Christy, who were dressed to the nines.
As soon as they entered, Kree Smith came up to them.
The two of them had not seen each other for many days, but it did not affect their friendship.
After hugging each other, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Kree, what have you been busy with recently? Why is it that every time I see you, it's at the auction? "
Kree smiled and said, "You've been in America, but I've been in Hua Xia. Of course, we haven't seen each other. Xiao, I want to congratulate you. The establishment of Yunqing TV Station has made up for your biggest shortcoming. Your entire entertainment empire can be considered to have been built. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to build an entertainment empire. The establishment of Yunqing TV Station should be considered an accident. I didn't think too much about it before. Kree, how's your MGM Grand TV Station doing recently? I heard that you ranked third in the viewership ratings in Hua Xia last month. It's much higher than the famous Jiangsu TV Station. Impressive. "
Some time ago, MGM Grand TV Station had been doing well in Hua Xia. Recently, it had been doing even better. Not only did it plan to film some Hua Xia TV Series, but it also spent a lot of money to acquire many outstanding works from Hollywood. It was liked by the audience of Hua Xia.
The reason why Kree stayed in Hua Xia was to completely consolidate MGM Grand TV Station's position.
Kree said, "To be honest, we didn't expect MGM Grand TV Station to have such good results in Hua Xia. Xiao, we will be competitors in the future. You have to show mercy. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Come on. Our Yunqing TV Station's viewership ratings are now ranked in the dozens. How can we compare to your MGM Grand? Why? Are you also interested in the broadcasting rights of the World Cup? "
MGM Grand Pictures' financial situation had not been good. With their ability, it should not be possible for them to participate in the competition.
Sure enough, Kree said, "We don't have the ability. This time, we're just here to join in the fun. Xiao, you have to be careful. There are too many international tycoons coming this time. Each of them is rich and powerful. Their funds are no less than yours, the world's richest man. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I understand. I'll do my best."
"Xiao, you're here too."
As the two of them were chatting, a gentle and pleasant voice sounded from behind Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai turned around and suddenly felt a headache coming on. It was Annie Winslet.
"Annie, long time no see. Did you come with your uncle? "Xiao Yunhai braced himself and asked.
Winslet nodded and said, "Of course. Xiao, I apologize to you again for the European TV broadcasting rights incident. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "There's no need for that. You know, my Yunqing TV Station's signal is about to cover the whole world. "
"This is your ability. It has nothing to do with me. I originally wanted to help you, but I didn't expect Uncle to do this. "
"There's a saying in Hua Xia that goes, 'Misfortune is a blessing in disguise.' Speaking of which, I still have to thank your uncle for helping me. If he hadn't torn up the contract, I'm afraid I would have suffered heavy losses. "
