Long Yu Corporation and Bunny Tail Live-Stream were very efficient. After a simple communication, the contract was roughly done the next afternoon.
The reason why it was done so quickly was mainly because Long Yu Corporation was in a hurry.
The publicity for the ICL league had already begun. The venue and other preparations were basically fine. The only thing that had not been finalized was the live-stream.
The live-stream platforms obviously knew that Long Yu Corporation was in a hurry, so they deliberately delayed it in order to lower the price.
However, what kind of temper did Eric have? How could he spoil these people?
Eric would not tolerate it in any other situation, apart from the fact that he had no choice but to tolerate Boss Pei sometimes.
After some consideration, Eric felt that since all the live-stream platforms wanted to lower the price and were so insincere, forget it!
In any case, it would be the same no matter which live-stream platform he sold it to. Boss Pei gave a lot of money and guaranteed publicity. It was not a bad idea to cooperate.
In terms of strength alone, Bunny Tail Live-Stream could not compare to a few veteran live-streams. However, if Boss Pei really promised to use some of Tengda Corporation's resources to publicize, the energy of Bunny Tail Live-Stream would definitely not be inferior to other platforms.
Thus, both parties quickly reached a consensus with Boss Pei being very tolerant of the price and conditions.
The contract mainly agreed on the following points:
First of all, this was an exclusive broadcast contract. Only Bunny Tail Live-Stream could live-stream the ICL league. The price was still the same as before, 35 million yuan.
Secondly, the contract required that Bunny Tail Live-Stream had to invest a lot of resources in promoting the ICL league, be it inside or outside the website. Of course, Long Yu Corporation would spare no effort to promote the ICL league.
Third, if there were any force majeure or special circumstances, such as insufficient bandwidth for the website, lagging live-stream that affected viewing, major public opinion events, etc., the wrong party would have to bear a certain amount of losses, and the other party could terminate the contract unconditionally. Of course, after terminating the cooperation, Long Yu Corporation would have to refund this sum of money based on the actual losses. At the same time, the exclusive broadcasting rights would be terminated.
Finally, there was an additional clause. Even if both parties did not make any obvious mistakes, one party would not have to pay a sky-high penalty if they wanted to terminate the contract. Instead, they only had to pay 20% of the price, which was seven million yuan, to terminate the contract.
Logically speaking, there should be no need for the last clause. That was because ICL's live-stream and publicity work should be very successful if both parties strictly followed the provisions of the contract. They would not be forced to terminate the contract.
The reason why he added this additional clause was mainly because both parties were old enemies. This made Eric very distrustful of the cunning Boss Pei.
To Pei Qian, this contract was not a problem at all. After the legal departments of both parties decided, Pei Qian sent Chen Yufeng to Shanghai to sign the contract and discuss the details of the cooperation.
…
Guangzhou, ZZ Live-Stream headquarters.
The new function that Liu Liang had arranged before had already been developed in the state of 996. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he could rest a little.
Recently, he had also spoken to Zhao Xuming on the phone a few times and briefly discussed the issue of ICL broadcasting rights. Liu Liang's thoughts were the same as Mr. Zhu of Wolf Fang Live Streaming. They both hoped that the price could be lowered further.
The ICL league was about to be held. Zhao Xuming did not have much time left. He would most likely have to make some concessions in the end.
Of course, Liu Liang did not want to make things too tense. After all, he still had to work together in the future. Liu Liang planned to buy it as long as Zhao Xuming had the intention to reduce the broadcasting rights of the ICL league by more than a million yuan and return it to its rightful value.
However, Zhao Xuming had been calling very frequently previously, but he did not call at all today. That surprised Liu Liang.
At that moment, Liu Liang heard hurried footsteps coming from outside his office. Then, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Liu Liang looked up and saw that it was the employee in charge of ICL broadcasting matters with Long Yu Corporation.
"What's the hurry? Tell me slowly."
"You have to maintain a calm, natural, and not arrogant attitude at work. How can you do your job well if you panic first?"
"You have to be like me in the future. You have to remain calm in the face of danger."
Liu Liang criticized this brother for his impatient behavior when he saw that he was not even panting.
The employee was not in the mood to dwell on these details. He hurriedly said, "Boss Liu, bad news!"
"Finger Games seems to be selling the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL to Bunny Tail Live-Stream!"
Liu Liang's expression changed instantly. He jumped up from his chair. "Bunny Tail Live-Stream?"
"Exclusive broadcasting rights?"
"When did this happen?!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Liu Liang's series of questions hit the employee's face, making the employee confused.
"Boss Liu, I just found out about this. The two companies seem to have discussed the cooperation very quickly. It seems to have been finalized in just a day or two. I'm not sure about the details, but it seems like the chances of success are very high … "
Liu Liang fell into a daze.
This was out of his expectations. He had not expected it at all!
Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the ICL league did not match at all no matter how he looked at it!
Boss Pei had said before that Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not form a direct competition with other live-stream platforms. It was a platform that focused on knowledge and education. The publicity and live-stream content when Bunny Tail Live-Stream was first released had indeed verified this point.
Logically speaking, even if they wanted to do a game live-stream, they should first poach a few big streamers from GOG or broadcast GPL to test the waters. What did they mean by spending a huge sum of money to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL?
As for the ICL league, what happened to the fact that Finger Games and Tengda Corporation were sworn enemies? What happened to IOI and GOG being the biggest competitors?
Eric and Zhao Xuming had suffered so much from Boss Pei. Shouldn't they reject working with Boss Pei directly?
Previously, Liu Liang had actually thought about whether other live-stream platforms would snatch the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL. However, after a few days of observation, he felt that the possibility of this was slim.
That was because the price of ICL's broadcasting rights was already too high. There was no need to take such a huge risk to buy exclusive broadcasting rights when they were not sure if this league could be done well.
Everyone should work together to lower the price of the broadcasting rights. Wouldn't it be better to obtain the ICL broadcasting rights at the lowest price and with the lowest risk?
However, he did not expect Boss Pei's Bunny Tail Live-Stream to suddenly jump out!
This disrupted Liu Liang's entire plan, causing him to be slightly at a loss on what to do and at a loss of what to do.
Previously, he had asked his employees to calm down and maintain a calm attitude. However, he was even more flustered than his employees now.
The two of them stared at each other. The employee quickly asked, "Boss Liu, what should we do?"
Liu Liang's brain worked quickly. "I'll give Zhao Xuming a call!"
Everyone knew that Boss Pei had always been swift and efficient. Thus, Liu Liang did not dare to delay and immediately called Zhao Xuming.
Everyone knew that Boss Pei had always been swift and efficient. Therefore, Liu Liang did not dare to delay and immediately called Zhao Xuming.
It rang for a long time before the person on the other side picked up slowly. "Hello? Zhao Xuming's attitude was indescribably calm and comfortable.
Liu Liang's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the situation was not good.
Zhao Xuming's attitude was indescribably calm and comfortable.
Previously, Zhao Xuming had been the one who had rushed to him to sell the ICL broadcasting rights. His attitude had been very polite and he had even given him various preferential conditions.
However, Zhao Xuming's tone was obviously cold now.
Liu Liang quickly said, "Boss Zhao, I heard that you're discussing the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL with Bunny Tail Live-Stream?"
Zhao Xuming did not comment. "Ah, what's wrong?"
Liu Liang: "Boss Zhao, that's not right of you! We've been talking about the broadcasting rights previously, but we haven't come to a conclusion yet. You suddenly want to sell the exclusive broadcasting rights to Bunny Tail Live-Stream without even informing us. Isn't that a little unreasonable? "
Zhao Xuming smiled. "Oh, Boss Liu, I actually planned to tell you tomorrow after we officially signed the contract with Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Aiya, you can't blame us for that. It's mainly because you don't seem to be very interested in the ICL league. Of course, we have to find a more suitable buyer. "
Obviously, Zhao Xuming was not going to let them off. He might not say anything harsh, but he could not avoid being sarcastic.
That was because Zhao Xuming had begged these live-stream platforms to sell the ICL broadcasting rights previously. In the end, the Vice Presidents of these live-stream platforms lowered the price and delayed it one by one. They were good at playing Tai Chi, making Zhao Xuming furious.
If you can do it, why can't I do it?
In this kind of situation, he definitely had to vent his anger from a few days ago!
Liu Liang did not dare to say anything else. He quickly continued, "You haven't signed the contract? That's good. Boss Zhao, it's not that we're not interested in the ICL league. It's mainly because we were still investigating. Now that the results of the investigation are out, we also want the ICL broadcasting rights! Why don't we sell it at the price you mentioned previously? "
"10 million yuan, what do you think?"
Zhao Xuming chuckled. "I'm sorry, I really can't sell it. To be honest, the conditions given by Bunny Tail Live-Stream are very, very generous! However, I can't reveal the exact amount. "
"Actually, I can understand your thoughts, Boss Liu. The ICL league is a newly established league after all. No one can guarantee that it will succeed. Buying the broadcasting rights at a high price is indeed very risky."
"Since that's the case, you don't have to take these risks for now. We'll talk in detail when we sell the broadcasting rights next season after this season! "
"I'm sorry, I still have work to do here. I'll hang up first. Let's contact each other later."
Zhao Xuming hung up after saying that.
"Hello? Hello! "
Liu Liang was so angry that he paced around his office three times in a row.
On one hand, he was angry because of Zhao Xuming's change in attitude. On the other hand, he was angry because of Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
What exactly was Boss Pei planning?!
On one hand, he said that Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not pose a threat to other live-stream platforms. On the other hand, he said that Bunny Tail Live-Stream would not pose a threat to other live-stream platforms. The main focus was intellectual content. In the end, he spent a huge sum of money to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL. He caught us off guard!
However, it was useless for Liu Liang to be angry. That was because there was nothing too deceitful in war. The business world was like a battlefield. It was normal to release some fake news.
Boss Pei was such a fickle and unpredictable person.
Liu Liang paced back and forth in his office, thinking about what to do.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream must have given him benefits and prices that he could not refuse seeing how determined Zhao Xuming was.
That was normal. After all, Boss Pei was very willing to spend money no matter what business he did. He had to give a lot of money to get his old enemy, Finger Games, to give up on their previous hatred and work together.
In other words, unless ZZ Live-Stream, Wolf Fang Live-Stream, and a few other live-stream platforms joined forces and offered a much higher price than before, they would only be able to cut it off.
However, this put them in a very awkward situation:
Previously, they could have won it for about nine million yuan. Now, they had to add another three to four million yuan or even more for no reason. It was very difficult to accept it.
The interests of the various live-stream platforms were not exactly the same. They had to pay a high price to buy the broadcasting rights together. If one live-stream platform did not follow, the cooperation would not be possible.
However, what if they gave up on ICL's broadcasting rights?
On the surface, it did not look like there would be much loss. However, everyone knew how sensitive Boss Pei was to the industry and how well he understood the games and E-Sports industry.
Boss Pei could be said to be a godfather in the field of games and E-Sports. No one in the country would dare to admit that they were number one.
Boss Pei had set his sights on ICL and offered a huge sum of money.
Did this mean that ICL's value far exceeded everyone's imagination if they obtained the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL?
Would he regret it in the future if he missed this opportunity?
There was still a chance of taking a gamble if he increased the price by three to four million yuan now. What if he could not buy it even if he increased the price by five or six million yuan in the future?
Liu Liang did not expect the situation to take a turn for the worse in just a day or two.
"Forget it, we have to sign the contract tomorrow. It's too late even if we want to work with other live-stream platforms to cut it off. It's not realistic for us to snatch the exclusive broadcasting rights by ourselves. The price is too high and the risk is too high. What's more, Boss Pei will definitely continue bidding with us. "
"I can only say that Boss Pei is really steady, accurate, and ruthless. He calculated the reactions of Finger Games and our live-stream platforms and took advantage of this excellent opportunity to snatch the exclusive broadcasting rights of ICL."
"We can only take it one step at a time. If ICL and Bunny Tail Live-Stream do not cooperate well, we might still have a chance …"
Liu Liang thought about it but could not think of a good solution. He could only give up helplessly and wait and see.
