On the second day after the announcement of the Black Star Cup, countless representatives of the media and consortium came to the door waving banknotes, wanting to buy the broadcast rights.
In the large conference room of the legion base camp, Silvia sat in the first place, and the remote projections of countless representatives sat below, chattering and discussing non-stop, and the room was full of buzz.
"quiet."
Silvia knocked on the table, and the audience really quieted down, all staring at her.
As the chief affairs officer of the legion, Silvia is also in charge of external communications. In the eyes of many forces, she is undoubtedly a high-ranking person. Even if the representatives present are high-level executives in their respective media or consortiums, they are also very important in front of Silvia. obedient.
Silvia looked around and said sternly:
"Everyone's intentions are the same. Regarding the Black Star Cup All-Army League, the Legion Commander's intention is to create a comprehensive sports event for power users. The scope of the first competition is temporarily limited to the Legion itself. In the future, it may be The introduction of personnel from other forces to participate in the competition, the specific details are in the introduction of the rules of the competition, you have just read it.
The Legion hopes that the event will be broadcast to the entire universe, so the way of selling broadcast rights is divided into regions. The planet-level broadcast rights are not sold separately. The minimum bid is the star-level broadcast range. Gnar, 980 million Inar for the broadcast rights of the star cluster, which will be paid in one to five installments. This is only a reference price. If an exclusive license in the same area is required, it will be done through bidding. "
Hearing this, there was a commotion in the audience, and many people looked at each other in dismay, all seeing surprise from each other's faces.
Compared to the status of Black Star Legion and the popularity of this event, this price is quite conscientious, far below their psychological expectations.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to sell this kind of program broadcasting rights. The most common one is to sell the media as a unit without restricting the region. Another regional sale is equivalent to splitting the broadcasting rights, which is generally used for large-scale broadcasting. , only a few people are qualified to open, otherwise the media will not buy it, and Black Star Legion naturally has this qualification.
The basic unit is the broadcast range of the star area, that is, the broadcast channel of this media is limited to one star area. Although the quantum network is very developed today, the interstellar society is connected as one, but the audience scope of most media is still regional, which is equivalent to local desk.
The minimum bid of 15 million Inal is indeed quite a lot, but the consortiums and media who dare to do deals with the Legion are all large, and it is not a problem to spend this amount of money in business.
If the broadcast scope overlaps, there is a set of processing systems, and the areas of the same level overlap. If they do not compete for exclusive authorization, the two will broadcast together, otherwise they will bid. If there is an overlap of different levels, for example, one buys the broadcasting rights of a galaxy, and the other buys the broadcasting rights of a star area included in this galaxy, either they will not deal with it, or they will apply for the legion to negotiate, or withdraw the authorization or cooperate with each other. However, it is strictly forbidden for the media to buy out a large-scale broadcast rights and distribute them without permission.
Silvia called out the clones of Philip and came to each representative to record everyone's bid.
The media representatives present thought for a while, wrote down their requirements, and actively purchased.
Everyone can see the business opportunities contained in the Black Star Cup. Recently, the Black Star Legion has done several major events, which are extremely popular, especially the two events of the Black Star Conferred God Battle and the Holy Light Particles, which have gathered a large amount of traffic for the Legion. Basically, among the ten Star Citizens, at least three or four will pay attention to the news of the Legion.
And the Black Star Cup itself is also attractive. Although there are many power users in the universe, battles are not uncommon, but this kind of competition that countless power users of all ranks participate in is too rare, and there are similar selections and drafts. It's easier to mobilize the audience's emotions.
And the events are too rich, where can you usually see so many superpowers participating in various interesting sports and entertainment projects.
According to the blueprint of the Black Star Cup, there is a chance that it will evolve into a league festival with more powers participating in the future. With the status of the Black Star Legion, they are not afraid of followers. In the long run, this league has great potential for development. The representatives present not only want to sign this Some people want to book several more events immediately, as a long-term investment.
"In this project, we have a win-win situation." Silvia spoke eloquently when everyone was thinking about bidding: "The Legion wants to make the Black Star Cup bigger, it needs more media broadcasts and attention, and you also need ratings, I don’t need to stress the size of the Black Star Cup, this is a rare event…”
At this moment, a representative of the consortium raised his hand and asked, "I heard that the legion opened a gambling game. I don't know if you accept off-site capital injections?"
"You can hold your own bets, but Legion's handicap does not accept off-site bets." Silvia waved.
"This is why, if you open the market, the order of magnitude of the margin will definitely increase by several notches." Some people are confused.
"This is the highest order of the regiment commander."
Silvia did not explain to everyone. In fact, when she learned about Han Xiao’s decision, it was a little strange. This was an opportunity to make a lot of money. With her understanding of Han Xiao, it was impossible to let go of this fortune. Unexpectedly, the teacher seemed to have changed his temper.
Later, Han Xiao explained to her, saying that although the legion has money, the bets from the outside world are still too large, and it is risky to open the market to the outside world. Funds circulate internally, no matter who wins or loses, the money is in the hands of legion members.
On the other hand, if members of their own legion participate in the competition, if the legion opens the market, it may cause some dissatisfied associations among legion members, which is not conducive to ideological construction. It is limited to betting within the legion, and the grassroots influence will be much better, and it feels like one's own people are playing behind closed doors.
In short... this bad money, we are not right!
After accepting every offer, Interpas brought the business team in to negotiate, while Silvia left the conference room and rushed to the next meeting.
In addition to selling the broadcast rights, the Legion is also preparing to find a large number of sponsors for the Black Star Cup. I believe that the Legion's partners will invest more or less money, whether from the point of view of interest or face, which adds up to a huge sum. Number of.
On the other side, Sorokin also found Han Xiao.
…
"You also want to sponsor the Black Star Cup?"
Han Xiao looked up and down at the Sorokin remote projection in front of him.
"That's right, you are a shareholder of the Infinite Consortium, and I will naturally support your project." Sorokin put on his iconic smirk.
"How much are you going to invest?"
Sorokin reported a number and smiled: "This number represents my full sincerity."
Han Xiao jumped in his heart, the amount of this sponsorship is a bit exaggerated.
Your sincerity is overflowing...
"Are you sure you give this much?"
"Yes, the Black Star Cup has great potential, and I am very optimistic about this investment." Sorokin smiled and said slowly: "And we are now partners. For some reason, there was a rift between us in the past. , so I hope to make up my relationship with you..."
Han Xiao suddenly understood.
Yes, this is to pay the protection fee, and I want to compensate for the losses caused to me in the past.
He used similar threats to take away the shareholder's position. It was a done deal. Sorokin accepted the reality and took the initiative to make up for the relationship.
After all, that sentence is well said, make do with it, how can it be harmful.
Han Xiao suddenly thought of something and turned his eyes.
I'm afraid this guy is not only here to make up for the relationship between the two parties, but also for the traveler's business.
The dark emperor caught the traveler, and he has released the wind. The empire will conduct a public trial, and he went to the secondary dimension world some time ago. Sorokin probably thought he knew something, so he came to explore.
After all, Sorokin also intervened in the Hela rescue battle. Traveler is one of the few insiders, and of course he has a guilty conscience.
"Okay, I'll give you a few notes about the past." Han Xiao smiled at him and lengthened his tone: "That's about the tyrant..."
Sorokin's eyelids jumped, "This..."
Without waiting for him to answer, Han Xiao laughed, "Don't worry, I'm joking, how could I let you tear up the agreement with him, turn around and use the means against me to deal with him, and suppress all the business you helped him expand. I have a good relationship with him."
I believe in you, you black-hearted bastard is so bad...
Sorokin settled down and tentatively said: "I heard that you recently went to a secondary dimension world, how was the trip?"
"Not bad, I went to several places..."
Han Xiaotian started to chat, but he didn't talk about the subject.
After listening patiently for a while, Sorokin saw that Han Xiao couldn't talk about the theme, so he could only cough dryly, and asked: "It is said that the Dark Emperor caught the traveler in the secondary dimension, have you met him?"
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded.
Sorokin was overjoyed and wanted to hear what Han Xiao had to say, but he found that Han Xiao suddenly shut up, with no intention of extending the topic, just like a cold king.
"… "
The two stared at each other for ten seconds.
Sorokin couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take the initiative to speak, but asked helplessly: "How was the situation at that time?"
"At that time, Xiao An... Cough, Emperor An was almost escaped by the traveler, and happened to bump into me, so I caught him." Han Xiao smacked his lips and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, this guy has no backbone. , using a little punishment on him, he confessed the identity of the man behind the scenes."
Sorokin's heart tightened, "Who is it?"
Han Xiao glanced at him and said slowly: "He said that he is not a neutral mercenary, but a secret descendant of a Transcendent star cluster grade civilization. He was sent by the high-level officials, so when Hela was attacked , he came to interfere."
"Heirs?" Sorokin was curious: "Which family does he belong to."
Han Xiao's tone was solemn: "None of us thought that he turned out to be a person from Modo civilization."
"It turned out to be Modo..."
Sorokin was thoughtful.
He was suddenly stunned, and his heart became vigilant.
No, it is impossible for the traveler to cover up the truth for himself, and he will definitely expose the reason why the Transcendent star cluster sent him to act, which is his own operation.
Having said that, the Empire must have known that he was also involved.
"Then you..." Sorokin stared at Han Xiao closely, hesitating to say anything.
"What do you want to say?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"… Did the traveler reveal anything else?"
"Do you want to ask, has the traveler confessed you?" Han Xiao smiled.
Sorokin's face tightened, and Black Star said that, he must have been exposed.
At this time, Han Xiao restrained his smile and said lightly: "What you are doing behind your back is not authentic."
In fact, he originally planned to hide it, but when Sorokin came to the door, he wanted to understand that the original plan of the enemy was not realistic.
Because the empire wants to publicly judge the traveler, Sorokin will definitely not have illusions. He knows that the probability of the traveler confessing or throwing the blame is very high, and there is no reason to keep it secret, then the empire will probably know what he is doing behind the scenes, so Black Star will definitely be notified that he has calculated a wave of Black Star Legion behind his back.
In this way, it is futile even if you pretend to be stupid. If you hide it, Sorokin will only be more defensive. Rather than that, he might as well make it clear directly. According to his understanding of Sorokin, this king of the eighth is able to bend and stretch. He definitely doesn't want to tear his face, but finds a way to make up for it, just a stroke.
After all, even if Sorokin pays compensation, it doesn't mean that he will give up targeting Sorokin.
Sorokin paused, showing a helpless expression:
"Okay, I was caught by you. My motive for doing this was just to maintain balance, not against you personally, but I'm really sorry for this matter. Since we are partners now, I will give you an explanation. , to express my apologies."
Han Xiao carefully observed his expression and narrowed his eyes.
As expected, with Sorokin's thick skin, it is unlikely that he will panic after being punctured, but he should deal with the matter aboveboard, apologize in person, and find remedies.
And Sorokin is a chicken thief. In fact, he has prepared a back way in this matter and made two plans, that is, he deliberately confided his "voice" to the traveler, and found a way to maintain collectivism and crack down on super-a for his behavior. The reason for a high-level united front does not involve personal grievances.
With such a thought as the support, even if it is exposed afterwards, he will not be targeted so fiercely because his position on this matter is actually consistent with the three major civilizations, and they all want to strike the Transcendent A Grade united front!
He just deviates in his method, but even so, the degree of his offending the empire is actually very low. After all, his method is indirect interference, not direct intervention, and there is a certain leeway.
In today's complex cosmic situation, there are conflicts of interest between the three major civilizations and the Development Association, and Sorokin, as a member of the association, has the so-called collectivist ideology, then in the eyes of the three major civilizations, he is very May become one of the characters that can be fought for.
Although the exposure of his position will make Tool Nation and Black Star group of Transcendent A Grades who advocate a united front exclude him, but in turn, this has become an opportunity for him to get closer to the three major civilizations and reduce losses as much as possible.
Han Xiao has to admit that Sorokin is a chicken thief. This duplicitous guy, relying on the resources in his hands, always has room to deal with negative consequences.
The biggest problem is that he conspired with the Transcendent star cluster alliance on this matter. The three major civilizations must be dissatisfied with this. Sorokin can't wash himself, and it must take a wave of blood to solve it.
The second problem is Han Xiao's attitude. Black Star was offended, and now no one can shake his position. Sorokin can only compromise and prepare to be opened by the lion.
All kinds of thoughts flashed, Han Xiao blinked, and said lightly: "Let me hear, how are you going to express your apology to me."
