Chapter 491: Keep the wealth within the family

"Master Huan"

Just after announcing the end of this chairman's summit on the stage, Skudmore immediately ran straight to Yang Huan.

"Thank you for your support, thank you"

He almost held Yang Huan's hand with both hands and squeezed it tightly.

"I didn't do anything. I just expressed my own opinions." Yang said with a smile.

Scudmore and David Bernstein, who followed him, knew that Master Huan did not deliberately help.

But that's how things are in the world. It doesn't matter whether the words make sense or not, but who says them.

The same sentence, spoken by Scudmore and by Young Master Huan, has two completely different effects. At least, facts have proved that everyone is more willing to accept Young Master Huan's words.

Yang Huan knew in his heart that investors were more or less suspicious of Schudmore and David Bernstein.

It's normal. After all, this is their territory and their league is theirs.

However, there was no real logic in Yang Huan's argument.

He was just using data to illustrate a very realistic deal, which is to do youth training. In the short term, the club's income will be affected a little, but this does not mean that the club has to take money out of its existing income.

On the contrary, they only took out a small part of the increased revenue from broadcasting fees.

For example, according to the increase in broadcasting fees, they could have received an additional 30 million pounds from the broadcasting rights.

But now, in order to support youth training, they can only get an additional 25 million pounds.

It may seem like five million pounds is missing, but the difference is huge.

At least for these Premier League teams, the latter is obviously more acceptable.

After all, there is no loss at all to the interests they currently hold, right?

Yang Huan also understood in his heart that Scudamore had been under tremendous pressure between the Premier League and the FA.

This position is not easy to fill. Except for Scudmore, no one else would be suitable or necessarily do a good job.

"David" Yang Huan looked at David Bernstein, "This should be the last chance"

David Bernstein was startled when he heard this, as Master Huan emphasized the last two words.

"If you mess up again this time, or create another ridiculous scandal, I won't be able to help you in the future." Yang Huan said this very seriously and in a hard tone.

David Bernstein knew in his heart that this kind of thing could only be done once; it wouldn't work the second time.

"Don't worry, I understand. This time when I go back, I will definitely reorganize the English Football Association. I plan to bring in professional managers, recruit a CEO, and implement corporate management."

After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled and nodded with satisfaction. It should have been changed a long time ago, okay?

However, it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to promote reforms.

For David Bernstein, this was also a good opportunity to establish his authority within the English Football Association, eliminate those who were disobedient or not in line with the rules, and replace them with his own team to gain a firm foothold.

Scudmore also nodded and said, "We will also organize a special team to follow up and supervise to ensure the flow of funds and the progress of the project."

Only then did Yang Huan nod his head in relief.

The heads of the two major departments have given the nod of approval, so this is how the matter should be done.

As for what it will look like in the end, no one knows.

This is all Yang Huan can do. If anything goes wrong in the end, it will be their own fault and no one else's fault.

"By the way, Richard, what's the matter with the copyright of the Premier League in China?" Yang Huan asked with interest.

Scudmore smiled bitterly, "We are still negotiating. The other party wants to maintain the price of the original contract and refuses to raise the price."

"How many?"

"Only 10 million pounds a year." Scudmore was helpless.

Ten million pounds a year?

Yang Huan knew that compared with the huge copyright revenue of billions of pounds a year from the Premier League, it was too insignificant.

It’s funny to think about it. China, a country like China that accounts for one fifth of the world’s population, has so little copyright.

"We may have to accept their conditions in the end." Skudmore sighed somewhat frustratedly.

Yang Huan vaguely remembers that since 2007, Tiansheng Company has acquired the copyright of the Premier League and started a paid model, but it has suffered huge losses. In 2010, the investors behind Tiansheng reorganized a sports company and once again won the Premier League broadcasting rights for three years.

The purpose is very simple, and it is based on a very, very simple thinking logic.

That is, with such a huge population base in China and so many fans, once the market is cultivated, it will be a very profitable business.

"Ten million pounds?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Scudmore nodded somewhat ashamedly. There was nothing he could do. There were many Chinese people, but the market was so small.

"Then give it to me."

As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family.

Scudmore was stunned. "For you?"

David Bernstein was also a little surprised. What did Master Huan mean?

"Yes, 10 million pounds, I bought it"

Scudmore was a little dumbfounded. That's the live broadcast copyright. Are you thinking this is a joke, Master Huan?

Yang Huan looked at the stunned looks of the two people opposite him and immediately realized a problem.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that our WeChat China company has been developing at a great pace in the past two years, and one of its very important businesses is WeChat video."

WeChat China is indeed quite profitable and has an astonishing user base. It makes a lot of money from games and value-added services alone, with monthly revenue exceeding RMB 1 billion, making it the undisputed leader in the domestic mobile game market.

Moreover, WeChat has hundreds of millions of users in China, and the advertising value alone is astronomical.

Now that you have money, you can't just sit on one tree, so WeChat China is doing almost everything.

WeChat games, WeChat maps, WeChat browser, WeChat music...

Oh, by the way, there is also WeChat Animation. The Boonie Bears, which received rave reviews after being broadcast on Capital TV earlier this year, was created with the idea of ​​Yang Huan and invested in by WeChat Animation. Currently, there are plans to make a feature film of it.

When talking about this incident, many domestic netizens are still talking about it with relish, praising Master Huan for his talent.

The launch of WeChat Video was a year ago.

At that time, the idea of ​​WeChat company was very simple. If others have it, we must have it too, since we have money anyway.

After it was launched, I didn’t take it too seriously. It was just like other projects like browsers, music, input methods, etc. It was just a bit of a hobby.

On the contrary, WeChat Maps is doing quite well and is developing rapidly.

But half a year ago, this situation changed quietly.

WeChat video has begun to become a core business that both Yang Huan and Zhang Ning attach great importance to.

The reason is very simple. Yang Huan's purpose of acquiring Activision Blizzard and Valve, in addition to making games, is to launch a home console that combines entertainment, games, social networking and other functions.

Valve has a huge advantage in the field of p-games, and launching a p-game console has always been the call of game enthusiasts. Together with Activision Blizzard, it is a powerful combination and can be called a giant in the p-field.

WeChat is a giant in both mobile gaming and social networking.

There are only one billion smartphone users in the world, but there are more than 700 million WeChat users, 300 million of whom are from China.

It can be said to be a must-have APP in almost all smartphones.

Just for this reason, WeChat has this amazing advantage.

But with home consoles connected to TVs, video entertainment also occupies a very important piece of the pie.

At first, Yang Huan considered investing or acquiring the company, but after careful consideration, Zhang Ning decided to do it himself.

Therefore, in the past six months, the status of WeChat Video within the company has been greatly improved, and it has directly leapt to a strategic core position. The company has invested a lot of money in copyrights and shows signs of making great strides in the domestic video field.

In Yang Huan's opinion, the domestic copyright of the Premier League is undoubtedly a hot commodity.

As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Ten million pounds a year is cheap.

"How is it? If there is no problem, I will ask someone to come over to talk," Yang said with a smile.

Skudmore now realized that Master Huan was not joking but was serious.

"Master Huan, are you sure?" Skudmore asked cautiously.

"Of course, what do you have to worry about?"

Yang Huan was puzzled. Are you afraid that I won’t give you money?

Skudmore smiled bitterly, "Master Huan, I'm not worried about you, but do you have a broadcast team?"

This is indeed a problem

Yang Huan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Didn't it start in 2013? I can take care of the broadcasting team in a few minutes. There will be no problem with the live broadcast in a year."

Damn, when it comes to live broadcasting capabilities of sports events, Sky TV is the best in the world. Can't they just poach someone from James Murdoch?

That boy dares to refuse?

Rebellion against him

Besides, if we hire a great person from Sky TV to support the show, it will be easy to create advertising gimmicks. We can just tell the domestic fans that we provide the most authentic broadcasts of Premier League matches, and it will immediately become more impressive.

As for the investment, it is indeed not small, but once it is up and running, the returns will be staggering.

After all, it's not just the Premier League. La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, World Cup, European Cup and Champions League will all be broadcast live in the future.

As for copyrights, hehe, who is selling the copyrights of a large number of international events such as the World Cup and the European Cup?

Swiss Infront

So who owns Yingfang now?

Isn’t it Young Master Huan’s?

With everything going on, your left hand and your right hand doing business, what trouble are you afraid of?

With copyright, it becomes much easier to develop WeChat videos.

We also have the copyrights that others have, but do others have the copyrights that we have?

Whoever dares to infringe my copyright, I will kill him in a minute.

As long as there is copyright, users will naturally have great

Relying on this strategy, WeChat Video is confident of gaining a foothold in the country.

When the time is ripe, Valve's host will immediately occupy the living room as soon as it is launched, leveraging the host's advantages to build a smart home platform.

By that time, even if Yang Huan broke his legs, he could still count money while lying at home.

Thinking of this, Master Huan couldn't help but laugh happily.

"How's it going, Richard?"

Scudmore looked a little embarrassed.

Originally, Master Huan wanted the copyright, and the price was reasonable, so he shouldn't have said anything.

"Master Huan, I don't have the final say on this matter. We need everyone's consent."

The big guys he was referring to were actually the owners of the 20 Premier League clubs.

"Okay, as long as you say there's no problem, I'll take care of the rest." Yang Huan was full of confidence.

Isn't it just a matter of a few million pounds a year?

After thinking about it, Yang Huan decided that it would be better for him to stop talking so much.

"Richard, while everyone is here today, you can communicate with them. I'll make a call right now. If both of us feel it's appropriate, we'll make a decision today."

Having said that, Yang Huan turned around and left without caring whether Skudmore was willing or not.

Scudmore and David Bernstein looked at Master Huan's back, glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly.

This is how Young Master Huan should behave.

Ten million per year, a contract is only tens of millions of pounds, it can be done in minutes

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made Young Master Huan so rich?
