Chapter 370: Who is afraid of whom?

When Yang Huan was enjoying the unprecedented moving taste in his villa, far away in London, the Sun’s gold-medal columnist Steven Howard pushed open the door of his house.

He had just returned from a meal with an executive in the Premier League and now he is tired and tired.

He sat down on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling. After a while, his eyes closed.

I don't know how long it took before the ringing of the cell phone woke him up.

"Hello!" Steven Howard was a little helpless.

The caller ID was Rebekah Wade, editor-in-chief of The Sun, his immediate boss.

"Steven, how is it? Have you heard anything about it?" the editor-in-chief over there asked.

Steven Howard had that slander in his heart.

You don't care whether I'm tired or not, and don't care what time it is, just care about tomorrow's news. Is there any humanity?

However, he had to keep these words in his heart.

The Sun is just like that. The pressure is high, but the influence is also great. The salary of the employees is not bad, especially the gold columnist like Steven Howard, whose income and influence are unmatched by other newspaper columnists.

"I heard, but there is nothing too valuable. I heard that the negotiation has reached a stalemate."

"Why?" Rebekah? Wade was a little surprised.

Steven Howard brought the phone to his ear in one hand and frowned in the other.

"Mainly on Southampton."

This team is really a hot potato, but it is a hot potato that everyone wants to compete for.

"Sky TV hopes to give Southampton the same treatment as the top four teams, broadcast more Saints' games, and even cut the number of live matches of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City."

"But the idea of ​​the Premier League is to increase the number of live broadcasts in Southampton and reorganize the seven broadcast packages without reducing the number of broadcasts of several Premier League teams."

If someone who is unfamiliar with the inside story, even if it is a senior fan, will hear the words of Steven Howard, they will hear the clouds and mountains, and they don't understand how much tricky there is.

Rebekah Wade could understand.

Once the number of live broadcasts increases, the number of live broadcasts for each of the seven rebroadcast packages also increases.

In other words, broadcasters need to pay more to bid for these broadcast packages.

Sky TV is undoubtedly the premier broadcaster that the Premier League relies on the most. This television organization is almost the most important source of Premier League broadcasting rights revenue, but in the UK, Sky TV relies on Premier League broadcasting rights to a similar degree.

In recent years, more and more television organizations have begun to consciously challenge the leading position of Sky TV in the UK’s pay TV. The most powerful weapon is the Premier League broadcast rights.

This year, I heard that British Telecom intends to intervene, which will inevitably lead to a wrestling among the three major television organizations of espn, British Telecom and Sky TV. In the end, the higher price will win.

If in this case, the number of live broadcasts of the Premier League is increased, the broadcast cost of the TV agency will be higher.

In other words, the Premier League broadcast rights are likely to create another sky-high price!

"In the evaluation of the Premier League and Sky TV, Southampton is in the United Kingdom, and its appeal is not lost to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Especially this team has greatly contributed to the United Kingdom in the Europa League this season. The move of football's face has won the favor of countless local fans."

"As for high-quality resources, the three TV stations are striving for it, and the Premier League is striving to maximize their interests. Therefore, the negotiation is a bit deadlocked now, but..."

With Steven Howard's meal, Rebekah Wade was a little anxious immediately.

"But what?"

"However, judging from the current situation, regardless of whether the number of shows is added or not, the single broadcast price must exceed 6.5 million pounds."

6.5 million pounds?

Rebekah Wade calculated that even if the number of live broadcasts were not increased, the broadcast rights in those three years would have exceeded 3 billion pounds.

This is twice as much as the last broadcast rights contract!

And it can be seen that the Premier League is now taking the initiative, not increasing the number of games, yes, the single game broadcast fee will be increased.

If you don't want to raise too much single broadcast fee, it's okay. Then increase the number of broadcasts!

"Southampton is really troublesome!"

Before the rise of Manchester City, it did not cause such trouble.

But Southampton is obviously different from Manchester City, and the Saints have more market appeal and influence.

With this in mind, Rebekah Wade also understood that there would be no way to make the headlines with this news tomorrow.

Fortunately, he prepared everything with both hands.

"Steven, you are now on the top of the terrapin."

"What are you doing?" Steven Howard was a little surprised.

It's so late, I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep, why are you doing it?

"Your old friend, Charlene Laheri’s self-media interview show [off-site] is released."

"Really?" He was busy today.

"I watched that show and the response was very good, especially some of Yang Huan's words in it, which not only rectified countless new fans, but also challenged some old fans' understanding of football. It was very interesting."

Steven Howard suddenly turned a bitter melon.

He had heard the subtext of the editor-in-chief.

"Are you planning to use this as the front page headline tomorrow?"

Rebekah Wade laughed helplessly, "No way, there is no big news today, it can only be this!"

Sure enough, after he laughed, Rebekah Wade said again: "You go and check it out, hurry up tonight and write a commentary!"

Without waiting for Steven Howard to say more, Rebekah Wade said, that's it, and then hung up the phone.

"That's it?" Steven Howard almost cried.

What time is this?

In the middle of the night, you want me to rush the draft?

are you human? Is it human?

But the editor-in-chief task was suppressed, and he couldn't do it.

I could only take the laptop with my stomach full of resentment, and after opening it, I went directly to Youtu Turtle.

Charlene Laheri’s off-site is recommended on the homepage of Youtu Turtle, click to enter.

"Damn, rave reviews!"

Looking at the comments below the YouTube video, most of them are praise and praise.

Sometimes it was mixed with some criticism, but it was quickly swallowed by the saliva of praise.

How long is this?

The click-through rate has reached one million!

Steven Howard looked stunned.

It turns out that doing self-media these years is so popular?

…………

"I am not a fan of Yang Huan. Even in the past, I always felt that he did not understand football."

"At the very least, he didn't have a deep understanding of professional football."

"It is undeniable that he is a very, very talented person. He has done a lot of things and achieved very high achievements, but in the field of football business, I have always felt that he is not successful."

"In the past, I have also heard a lot of his remarks, many of which are similar to sensational remarks such as free tickets, but in my eyes, it is more of a kind of non-surprising and endless rhetoric. It may happen."

"However, after watching this talk show between him and Charlene Laherit, I completely overturned all my previous impressions of Yang Huan. I found out that he may not really understand professional football in depth."

"However, he is sharp and keen, and at the same time full of forward-looking vision, leading us to clarify the current football context, and let us know the future development trend of professional football."

"This reminds me of one thing, he is only twenty-two years old, a young man through and through!"

"In the interview, he seemed to represent a group of young football fans around the age of 20, making their voice heard."

"Football is a sport. This sport belongs to the fans. It belongs to both the old fans and the new fans. In the final analysis, its future belongs to the new fans, including those pseudo-fans who are always looked down upon by old fans."

"He is also protesting at the same time. It is not only when he comes to the scene to watch the football, but only when he sits in front of the TV and radio to watch and listen to the game, he is called a fan."

"As long as you like football, as long as you have favorites, following stars and teams, even if you never go to the scene to watch football, never watch the game broadcast, you are considered a qualified fan!"

"What he said made me feel that he was subverting our past impressions of fans."

"He is also subverting our understanding of the sport of professional football."

"After watching this talk show, I felt a lot, but my tired spirit became very excited."

"I'm thinking, maybe, it's not that he doesn't understand the ball, or that he is not doing his job properly."

"Instead, he thought too far ahead and went too far!"

"But anyway, from now on, I will start paying attention to Southampton and Yang Huan!"

...

When Yang Huan sat in the office of the Staplewood Training Base, with Erlang's legs tilted, watching the Sun newspaper this morning, the mood that was originally extremely good because of the invigorating enjoyment last night suddenly became Better.

He laughed on his face and saw the reporter's signature under the newspaper comment.

"Steven Howard!"

Yang Huan remembered that this reporter, Charlene Laherit’s friend, had been included in the ranks of Charlene Laherit’s media guests.

Charlene Laheri’s self-media has now recorded five episodes, and the first episode was released yesterday, and the results were very warm.

By this morning, the hit rate has exceeded 3 million, and it is expected to reach 5 million in 24 hours.

This is not easy for a self-media program.

Yang Huan took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, found Charlene Laheri, and quickly tapped the screen with his finger to send a message.

"Miss Laheri, the show is on fire. When will the conditions you promised come true?"

When I think of the fragrant conditions, my heart is warm!

Soon, the other party responded with a blushing and cute expression, followed by a sentence.

"Can you stay overnight now?"

Yang Huan curled his lips, smiled, and replied, "No problem for a few days and nights. Let's go, when?"

"at any time!"

Wow, the tone is quite big.

Charlene Laheri's provocative look appeared in Yang Huan's mind, and her heart was a little excited.

"It's better to do it now!"

"just now?"

Soon, another one came.

"I'm working!"

Yang Huan immediately sent a triumphant expression, "Then you still say anytime?"

She quickly returned a **** expression, and wanted to give him a knife.

"Now now!"

"Your home or my home?" Yang Huan asked with a smile immediately.

The other party was obviously hesitant, and only replied after about ten seconds, "My house, come if you have the ability!"

"Who is afraid of whom, the tortoise is afraid of hammers!"

After speaking, Yang Huan turned off his mobile phone, and then looked at Long Wu, who was boringly playing mobile games, and he was a little worried.

"Old fifth, give me the car key, you stay here, I'll be back when I go out!"

The less people know about stealing jade and incense, the better.

"Master, where are you going?" Long Wu immediately turned off his phone and stood up.

Didn’t you say that after Bielsa finishes the morning training session, he can talk about the transfer?

Why are you leaving suddenly?

This kid is loyal and loyal, no matter what is in front of him, he will follow him to the death.

Yang Huan smiled bitterly.

Sometimes being too loyal is not necessarily a good thing!

"It's okay~lightnovelpub.net~ just go for a walk, you will wait for me here."

"Oh!" Long Wu could only agree.

It is strange in my heart. Wherever the young master usually goes, he always follows him, but now he has to act alone?

Could it be...

In Long Wu's ambiguous eyes, Yang Huan took the car key, turned and left.

It's a depressed feeling in my heart.

How can I be misunderstood for such a serious person?

Is it possible that the word wolf is written on my face?

It seems that the main reason is that I am too honest and don't know how to pretend!

But he didn't see that something went wrong on the training ground downstairs!
