At noon, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing returned to Huairou. After having lunch at home, Xiao Yunhai drove to the Ministry of Culture.
When he arrived at Liang Qianqiu's office, Xiao Yunhai knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Liang Qianqiu's voice was heard.
Xiao Yunhai opened the door and walked in. Liang Qianqiu was chatting with Yang Jianye and Hou Yixiu.
When they saw Xiao Yunhai, Liang Qianqiu and the other two big shots stood up to welcome him.
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "Come, Yunhai. Let me introduce you. This is Minister Yang Jianye of the Publicity Department, and this is Director Hou Yixiu of the General Administration of Sports."
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with the two of them and smiled. "Hello, Minister Yang, Director Hou."
After some pleasantries, Liang Qianqiu's secretary served Xiao Yunhai tea, then closed the door and left.
Liang Qianqiu said, "Yunhai, I'm very happy that you're here to discuss the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics with us."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "You've even brought my uncle and the leaders here. How can I not come?"
Liang Qianqiu spread his hands and said, "We really have no other choice. That's why we have to trouble you."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that this responsibility is too heavy. It's too difficult to settle the opening and closing ceremonies in less than two months. "
Yang Jianye said, "Mr. Xiao, no matter what you want, we'll do our best to satisfy you. We just hope that you can take on this heavy responsibility."
Xiao Yunhai revealed a sly expression and said, "Minister Yang, you said it yourself. Alright, I only have one condition. Sell me the rights to broadcast the Olympics on TV and online. "
Liang Qianqiu and the other two looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
The Olympics were held once every four years, and every time it attracted the attention of the whole world. In just ten days, the advertising fees would definitely be astronomical.
If Xiao Yunhai bought it, the profits of the three departments would be greatly reduced.
Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "Leaders, it seems that this request is very difficult for you."
Hou Yixiu forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, we've already spent more than 10 billion US dollars to prepare for the Olympic Games. If we can't earn some money from the livestream, we'll probably lose everything. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "As long as you give me the rights to broadcast the competition, I can bear 50% of the costs. What do you think? "
Xiao Yunhai knew very well that the so-called sponsorship cost was not as much as 10 billion. A large part of it was actually borne by the sponsors.
When Hou Yixiu heard this, he immediately stopped talking.
Liang Qianqiu and Xiao Yunhai had a close relationship, but when it came to money, Liang Qianqiu couldn't say anything to avoid arousing suspicion. Therefore, the final decision was left to the head of the Publicity Department, Yang Jianye.
Yang Jianye pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Xiao, we don't want the contract fee. What we want is the profit ratio of your TV station. Four to six, we want sixty percent. Minister Liang, Director Hou, what do you think? "
Hou Yixiu's eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "I completely agree."
Liang Qianqiu also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Forty percent? That's too little. I think it's better to go with fifty percent. "
Yang Jianye said, "Mr. Xiao, forty percent is our bottom line. We can't increase it by even one percent."
"Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
Xiao Yunhai got up and took out his phone. He dialed Chen Zhan's number right in front of them.
"Yunhai, you're home?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We've been home for a while. Uncle, there's something I want to discuss with you. If the Olympic Games are given to us and CCTV to broadcast, the other party wants sixty percent of the profits. Do you think that's acceptable? "
Chen Zhan was stunned and said, "Is there a need to ask? Of course, we'll agree. Yunhai, even if our TV station's viewership is about the same as CCTV's, forty percent of the profits will be about thirty billion USD. Moreover, it's less than twenty days. It's definitely a good thing. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Okay, I understand."
Chen Zhan hurriedly said, "Hold on, Yunhai, do you have some sort of connection? Generally speaking, the broadcasting rights of the Olympic Games are auctioned. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this. I'm busy now. I'll call you back when it's done. "
After getting Chen Zhan's reply, Xiao Yunhai had an idea. He said, "Okay. Sixty percent will go to you, and forty percent will go to us. However, other than CCTV and my TV station, there can't be a third party involved. "
Yang Jianye nodded and said, "No problem. So, Mr. Xiao has agreed to be the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course."
A comfortable smile appeared on the faces of the three at the same time. Finally, someone had accepted this responsibility.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Since I'm going to be the director, there's something I need to ask. How many people are there in the Olympic Organizing Committee? Why hasn't there been any progress in half a year? I even heard that the reason why Director Mo Kaixuan couldn't handle it perfectly like last time was mainly because of the internal strife in the committee. He didn't dare to offend anyone, and that's why there was a problem. Is that true? "
Liang Qianqiu's expression turned serious and said, "There are more than five hundred people in the committee. The main thing is that they don't know what to do. Because the program for the opening and closing ceremonies hasn't been finalized. As for the internal strife, I'm not too sure. "
Speaking up to this point, Liang Qianqiu glanced at Yang Jianye.
Xiao Yunhai quickly determined that Yang Jianye's subordinates were among the troublemakers.
Yang Jianye coughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, to be honest, Director Mo Kaixuan doesn't live up to his name. He can't control the entire scene. As for the internal strife, there's definitely no internal strife. It's normal for everyone to have different opinions when working together, but it's definitely not a strife. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Let me tell you what I want. First of all, I have the final say in everything. The others can give me suggestions, but they can't disobey my orders. "
"No problem. Whoever doesn't listen can get lost, "Liang Qianqiu said firmly.
Yang Jianye wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back down.
Xiao Yunhai was different from Mo Kaixuan. Whether it was his personal ability or the strength of his family, Mo Kaixuan couldn't compare.
Whoever tried to play tricks in front of him would end up dead.
It seemed that he had to have a good talk with Liangzi when he went back.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "Due to the lack of time, the number of people is a little low. Raise it to a thousand."
"Okay." The three nodded at the same time.
"Our main task now is to come up with a program as soon as possible. How about this, I'll go back and think about it. We'll have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I can get to know everyone. "
Yang Jianye said, "Okay. I'll inform them right away. By the way, Mr. Xiao, we still lack an Olympic promotional song. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to me. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. I hope to sign the contract as soon as possible, especially the agreement to sell the broadcasting rights to our television station. "
Liang Qianqiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning. I'll get someone to draft the agreement. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yunhai left the Ministry of Culture under the personal escort of the three big shots.
It was already five in the afternoon when he got home. Zhao Wanqing asked, "Honey, it's done?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "It's done. Tonight, I'm going to the hospital to visit that State Preceptor. After all, I've taken over his position, so it's only right to visit his predecessor. Honey, are you going? "
Zhao Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, Director Mo is an old man and a senior in the industry. It's better for me to go with you."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then let's eat early."
Zhao Wanqing nodded.
