Chapter 452 Be My Face, Poach My Corner
The last time Yang Huan came to Sun Life Stadium in Miami, what left a deep impression on him was the large, empty parking lot outside Sun Life Stadium. At that time, his first reaction was, is it so big, can it be full?
But this time, when he came to Sun Life Stadium in Miami, he found that it has almost become a sea of ​​cars.

At a glance, they are all cars, all kinds of cars, just like the car kingdom.

Not to mention how shocking that scene was!

"If your Fox crew can capture this scene from mid-air, it will be awesome and it will become popular all over the world!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

James Murdoch was also shocked by this scene.

Now they just look up in the car, and they already think it's very spectacular. If they shoot from mid-air, wouldn't it be scary?
Thinking about it, suddenly, the rich second generation of the news corporation took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Robin, can you use a drone to take a bird's-eye view of Sun Life Stadium and the parking lot?"

When Yang Huan heard it, he was also happy. It really is the essence of the second generation of rich people.

But don't think that nonsense, this is also a manifestation of strength, and it is a way to please the audience.

I didn’t see that for those major events, the broadcasting agency will first show a few close-ups of the outside of the stadium, and some even shoot from high altitude. The scene is really pleasing to the eye.

"Well, okay, you can try it right away, yes, try it now!"

After saying that, James Murdoch hung up the phone and looked expectantly at the parking lot in the distance.

"We have long had the idea of ​​using drones to take high-altitude shots, but we have never had the chance to realize it. This time Sun Life Stadium just gave us a chance!"

In the past, many overhead shots of stadium exteriors were actually shot on the high-rise buildings around the stadium, and the angle was relatively single. If you can use drones to shoot, the effect will definitely be different.

"Master Huan!"

The two had just arrived at the internal parking lot of Sunshine Stadium, got out of the car, and just stepped into the gate with one foot, and a person came by beside them.

Both Yang Huan and James Murdoch turned their heads to see who was coming, and their expressions changed immediately.

The former is obviously very happy, while the latter has more or less a rush to go out and step on Xiang.

Could it be the suave CEO of British Telecom, Gavin Patterson.

As soon as the guy who had unbuttoned the three buttons approached, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Murdoch!"

This time, James Murdoch's expression completely changed.

Everyone knows that he has a very bad relationship with his father Murdoch, and he has almost no contact except working relationship.

Therefore, James? Murdoch hates others to call him Mr. Murdoch, or Little Murdoch.

Whether familiar or unfamiliar, he would like others to call him James.

Now, hearing Gavin Patterson call him that on purpose, he felt angry, snorted coldly, and agreed.

Gavin Patterson just wanted to disgust him, but he didn't care, and approached Yang Huan with a smile.

"Master Huan, let me discuss something with you!"

"What's the matter?" Yang Huan knew that this guy had such a personality, so there was nothing he could do about it.

"The UK rights of the International Champions Cup have only been sold for one year, right?"

When he asked, James Murdoch's eyelids twitched. What does this guy want to do?
Be my face, poach my corner?

Is it too much?
"Huh?" Yang Huan didn't speak.

"Sell us British Telecom next year. How much others pay, we only pay more!"

When Gavin Patterson said this, he was really indescribably rich.

James Murdoch was annoyed, did this guy do it on purpose?

"I know that you, British Telecom, have been very rich recently. You just snatched two of the most valuable Premier League broadcast rights packages, and now you are here to grab the broadcast rights of the International Champions Cup?"

Speaking of this, James Murdoch smiled slightly, "But unfortunately, I have already negotiated with Master Huan just now!"

"It's settled?" Gavin Patterson looked at Yang Huan.

Yang Huan did not deny it, but nodded.

"Isn't that the contract hasn't been signed yet?"

This time, James Murdoch's expression changed.

Speaking of Gavin Patterson, he is definitely a very capable person.

After this guy took charge of British Telecom, he has been ambitious to enter the core market of Sky TV, which is media services. At the same time, they are also actively deploying and transforming the Internet video field.

It can be seen from this that this guy is not like the rumors outside, who knows nothing except messing with men and women.

On the contrary, this guy has a sharp eye!
Among other things, just because he, together with a number of TV stations, jointly participated in the Premier League broadcast rights auction, insisted on winning the game package from Sky TV at a high price, including the prime live broadcast time period from Saturday afternoon to evening, which was enough to make Sky TV feel threatened.

Everyone knows that the broadcasting of top sports events, especially the broadcasting of the Premier League, is the core business of Sky TV.

This move by British Telecom clearly threatens the survival of Sky TV!

But this is just Gavin Patterson's first step.

While winning part of the Premier League broadcast rights, he also persuaded the board of directors to spend 30 billion pounds to deploy a high-speed optical fiber network throughout the UK, and the coverage rate is expected to be 90.00% in [-].

Once the layout is completed, British Telecom will become Sky's most powerful competitor in the UK market.

Standing in the same industry's point of view, James? Murdoch has to admire this romantic guy.

But from the standpoint of a competitor, he wished that Gavin Patterson would get out of here!
In the past half a year, for some reason, this guy became friends with Yang Huan and others, and organized and planned carnivals for the rich second generation of the Saints Fan Club many times, which made James Murdoch feel threatened.

Who knows if this guy will use this relationship to persuade Yang Huan?
Of course, Sky TV has enough confidence to keep the existing resources and the country that was finally won.

But there is no doubt that British Telecom has become a serious problem.

Thinking of this, James Murdoch couldn't help but secretly vigilant in his heart. He had to let the company's people come to talk quickly, and even give up some benefits and pay a little more price, so they had to sign the contract quickly.

Who knows what tricks this guy who unbuttons three buttons is up to?
"Master Huan, I'll go first!"

James Murdoch apologized to Yang Huan.

"Okay, James, let's talk later!" Yang Huan sent him away with a smile.

After James Murdoch left, Gavin Patterson shrugged depressedly, "Is it necessary to show me face?"

Yang Huan smiled, "As long as you are like this, I don't intend to give you good looks!"

"Isn't it? Master Huan, I'm helping you!" Gavin Patterson asked for credit with a smile.

"Really? I don't think so!" Yang joyfully said.

But I knew in my heart that Gavin Patterson's involvement was indeed a great boost to Miracle Media.

The most fearful thing in everything is competition. Now that Sky TV has the threat of British Telecom, are you afraid that Sky TV will not spend more money?
Gavin Patterson is a smart man. He knows very well that British Telecom does not have the same resources as Sky TV, so in the short term, no matter how high the price he offers, Master Huan will not let British Telecom participate in the competition.

You must know that British Telecom has never broadcast sports games before. Now that it has acquired the rights to broadcast the Premier League, it is only just operating in a market that is familiar with this field.

Because this event is not mature enough, it needs to be operated and promoted.

James Murdoch is not an idiot either. He also understands his own advantages and Yang Huan's thoughts, so he doesn't need to worry about being snatched away, but he will definitely feel threatened and will pay more attention to it.

"I heard that Sky and Vodafone have recently formed an alliance and will launch a NowTV service at the same time!"

Gavin Patterson was a little surprised by Yang Huan's sudden, out-of-the-ordinary words.

What does it mean?
Yang Huan looked at him like that, shook his head and smiled, "Scuddermore said that in the next three years, the Premier League's Internet and mobile Internet broadcast rights revenue will double, and in the future it will even compete with local pay TV and overseas broadcast rights!"

When Gavin Patterson heard this, he immediately understood.

What Master Huan means is that Sky TV has already begun to actively deploy on the Internet and mobile Internet.

A very important reason why Sky TV can't wait is that the UK will launch a 4G network this year.

In other words, the time to watch the high-definition Premier League live broadcast on mobile phones is ripe!

To say that the Premier League broadcast rights have landed on the Internet, we have to talk about the EU's anti-monopoly law.

At that time, the European Union opposed Sky TV's monopoly on the copyright of the Premier League. Many people thought it was a blow to the Premier League.

As everyone knows, the Premier League thieves are very smart, and their abacus is loud.

As early as [-], when the anti-monopoly came out, Internet live broadcast technology was already very mature, but all broadcasters in the new media field had to buy copyright from Sky TV, and the Premier League did not get a penny.

But as soon as the anti-monopoly came out, the Premier League negotiated with Sky TV and directly won the copyright of the Internet and mobile live broadcasts. The first contract was sold for [-] million pounds.

And this amount of money is considered too much for the Premier League and the team.

Now, with the rapid development of the Internet and mobile Internet, the broadcast rights of the Premier League in the new media field are becoming more and more popular, and the broadcast fees have also risen accordingly.

The reason why Sky TV cooperates with Vodafone is very simple. Sky TV has resources, and Vodafone has high-speed broadband network.

Obviously, this is for British Telecom!

All of a sudden, Gavin Patterson couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

If Master Huan hadn't reminded me like this, maybe I would be the same as ITV and Seitanta back then. I didn't regret it until I was knocked down by Sky TV.

For a moment, Gavin Patterson looked at Master Huan with gratitude.

But Young Master Huan didn't look at him, but looked forward with a smile.

On the opposite side, there was already a gray-haired, but strong-footed old man walking over laughing all the way.

He stretched out his hand towards Yang Huan from a distance, "Mr. Yang Huan!"

Yang Huan also rushed to meet him, smiled and held the man's hand, "Hello, Mayor Regalado!"

The two shook hands, and immediately walked away with the staff beside Regalado to take pictures.

Gavin Patterson saw clearly who was coming, and it wasn't the mayor of Miami, Regalado!

"It's very lively tonight. It's been a long time since Sun Life Stadium was as lively as tonight." Regalado said with a smile.

Miami does not have a football team, so Sun Life Stadium is more used as a stadium for the Dolphins, the local football team in Miami. Interestingly, the major shareholder of the Dolphins is Stephen Rose and the tennis star Williams sisters.

But in recent years, the performance of the Miami Dolphins has been quite poor, always aiming to reach the playoffs, coupled with the economic downturn, so the attendance rate of Sun Life Stadium is also very low.

It has been many years since this evening was full of people and all seats were filled.

Therefore, as the mayor of Miami, Regalado is also very excited.

This is a great opportunity to appear on stage, have fun with the people, and please the voters. How can you not be excited?
