Subsequently, CBS Broadcasting Company and NBC Broadcasting Company invited many experts and professors to analyze the negative impact of Henry's acquisition of the NFL.

Experts said: "As we all know, Henry Williams owns a television station. One of his purposes for acquiring the NFL is to obtain NFL broadcasting rights! Needless to say, everyone can imagine that Henry Williams will definitely Sell ​​NFL broadcast rights at a low price!"

"Henry Williams' behavior is a monopolistic behavior, and he will definitely push the NFL to extinction!"

"Refused to buy, refuse to monopolize!!!"

"..."

ABC building headquarters.

Henry frowned, and in a deep voice, he asked Robert, a famous American barrister proficient in monopoly, sitting in front of him: "Attorney Robert, does my acquisition of the NFL really constitute a monopoly?"

Robert smiled slightly and said: "Strictly speaking, it is not a monopoly. After all, the organization of football games is not limited to the NFL. However, due to the huge influence of the NFL, it can also be regarded as a monopoly. How to define this depends on the American people and What do you think of the 32 teams in the NFL league! If most of them support your acquisition, then there is no problem! It's just..."

Henry looked at him, motioned to continue.

Robert said: "Association organizations such as the NFL are not profitable by themselves, and the profits they receive are ultimately distributed to each team. This is because the NFL league’s board of directors consists of 32 members. The owner of the team club, that is to say, each team is the shareholder of the league!!!

Currently. The NFL League implements the "income sharing" model, that is to say. The money allocated to each team is the same. If you acquire the NFL, you will inevitably change this way of distribution of benefits! But this change. It will inevitably affect the income of each team, so the acquisition plan is full of difficulties!

Therefore, generally speaking, they will not introduce new shareholders, unless this shareholder can create greater benefits for them! "

Henry nodded, expressing his understanding.

If you want to acquire the NFL, you must let the team realize their value and enable them to make more money!

Henry was silent for a while. So he said to Robert: "You help me make an appointment with the major shareholders of the NFL, and I am going to talk to them in person. In addition, you are solely responsible for the monopoly lawsuit!"

"Okay, Mr. Williams!" Robert nodded.

Henry then left the ABC building and went to the Nicholas Group headquarters.

Nicholas IMDB, a subsidiary of Realorks.

Hearing that Henry was coming to Realorks, IMDB CEO Marcy Filimon rushed over to accompany him to inspect Realorks, Realorks CEO Ethan Occam also rushed over!

Ethan Occam is about fifty years old. Chinese-American, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, was originally the technical director of the IMDB website, and has now been promoted to be the CEO of Realorks. Henry asked Realorks to develop the rmvb video format and RealPlayer video player that he hosted.

"How is it? Have the development of rmvb and RealPlayer been completed?" Henry turned his head to look at Ethan Occam and asked.

"Done!!!" Ethan Occam replied excitedly, "The rmvb video format, I dare say it is the best and most advanced video format in the world. We use the VBR technology you mentioned earlier (dynamic bit Rate technology). The video resolution can not only compare with the effect of DVD, but also can compress video files to a very small level! At the same time. rmvb format video can be developed with different compression ratios according to different network speeds, so as to Real-time transmission and playback of image data can also be carried out on low-speed networks! Finally, the "fogging" technology is used. Even if the screen is enlarged, it will be blurred at most without mosaics! As for the RealPlayer video player... "

Ethan Occam laughed and said: "With the support of Williams Lab technicians, P2P technology has been the most perfect application in RealPlayer video player! The more people watching online video, the smoother the video, even It’s a live broadcast of the Super Bowl, I believe it’s all right!!!"

"Very good!!!" Henry exclaimed. Later, I asked Ethan Occam to demonstrate for him watching movies on RealPlayer.

Ethan Occam responded and took a laptop and turned on the RealPlayer player.

"Chairman, I now enter RealPlayer's online film library to download a movie to watch!" Ethan Occam said, "Because we have not officially announced our development products, the online film library currently only has the works of Galaxy Film Company! "

Henry nodded, expressing his understanding, and motioned him to continue with his eyes.

Ethan Occam found a movie "Jurassic Park", click to download and watch.

Then, Ethan Occam turned his head to look at Henry and said: "Chairman, the internet speed we are currently using is 56kbps, which is similar to the current internet speed of ordinary homes! The initial download requires 30 seconds of cache. Time, cache the content at the beginning of the movie to ensure smooth viewing later!"

After 20 seconds, the movie began.

Henry mainly observed the picture, and it felt okay, the picture was clear, and there was no ambiguity. After the movie was played for ten minutes, there was no delay!

"Chairman, if the internet speed is better, we can still see a clearer picture!" Ethan Occam added, "56kbps only belongs to the standard mode, the definition is average, and the higher the internet speed, it is OK There are ordinary. High-definition two!"

"Well, very good!" Henry nodded in satisfaction. Then I thought of something and asked: "How big is the RealPlayer player?"

"Since only rmvb format video is currently supported. So only 5MB!" Ethan Occam paused and asked, "Chairman, Microsoft has released avi format video. Do we want to be compatible with avi format?"

The products released by Microsoft have always been supported by many third-party software vendors, plus Microsoft has an operating system, there must be a lot of people willing to make video files in avi format! Henry hesitated, whether to be compatible with avi format video. but. I thought that rmvb currently has an absolute advantage and can completely crush it, so there is no need to be compatible with avi.

rmvb should take advantage of its technological advantages to form a monopoly, and it is the only way to suppress avi.

In addition, the current Internet speed is too slow, RealPlayer player should not add too much code, the smaller the software, the better, when the user downloads it. There is no need to wait too long!

So Henry said to Ethan Occam: "Incompatible!!!"

The previous rm format has already played avi, and the rmvb evolution version is even stronger, just like Ultraman playing small monsters.

Ethan Occam heard this. Nodding in response: "Well, okay." Then he asked again. "Oh, Chairman. When will our products be released?"

"The sooner the better!"

Henry thought for a while, and immediately told Ethan Occam: "Oh. By the way, before that, buy some film and television rights! RealPlayer's online library needs to enrich more online movies!!!" Henry immediately followed. Looking at Marcy Fremont, he said, "In terms of funds, Nicholas IMDB's parent company must give them its full support!!!"

Marcy Fremont and Ethan Occam glanced at each other, and both nodded!

Henry said indifferently: "At present, film companies and television companies don't pay attention to the copyright of film and television networks, so this time we must buy enough excellent film and television works!"

"Okay, I understand!" Marcy Fremont nodded.

Henry personally used the RealPlayer player at this time, and while experiencing it, he said to Ethan Occam: "RealPlayer's online movie library needs to be classified to make it more convenient for users to use, thereby enhancing the user experience! Therefore, the movie Separated from TV, and then subdivided into multiple genres such as science fiction, action, horror, drama, etc.!"

"Well, yes, I will ask the technician to make improvements afterwards!" Ethan Occam said.

After Henry shut RealPlayer off, he stood up and said to both of them: "That's about it, if everything is ready, RealPlayer player can be released on the market!!!"

...

...

After Henry left, Marcy Fremont went to prepare to buy film and television works, and Ethan Occam went to improve the RealPlayer player. At this time, lawyer Robert called Henry to inform him that NFL shareholders agreed to meet with him at 9 o'clock in the morning three days later, at the NFL headquarters in Manhattan, New York.

The next day, Marcy Fremont went to buy film and television works and it was not smooth.

Film companies consider that movies can also make money through video tapes and TV rebroadcasts. If they can also be watched on the Internet, they will lose a lot.

Marcy Fremont sent people into five groups to run more than 20 film companies, but the responses they got were similar.

In the end, Marcy Fremont can only buy movies and televisions whose video tapes are no longer available for sale!

That night, Marcy Fremont reported the situation to Henry. Henry thought that although film and television companies do not pay attention to online copyright, it does not mean that they are stupid. If you can watch movies online, the income of natural video tapes will decrease accordingly!

Henry suddenly thought of something and suddenly laughed.

Before the development of the rmvb format, a movie video was very large, but the Internet speed of netizens was not strong. Therefore, there was no breeding ground for pirated videos.

But now it’s different. If a one-and-a-half-hour movie uses the rmvb format, it can be compressed to more than 100 MB at least. It is conceivable that the conditions for making pirated videos are ripe, and they are not growing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain? !

Henry replied: "Buy as much as you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't! Maybe they will beg us to buy..."

"I beg us to buy?" Marcy Fremont was stunned when he went to buy the copyright of the film and television. I don't know how difficult it is, especially some of the more popular movies. It is not for sale like the treasure of the town shop.

Henry didn't explain to him, he hung up after a few sentences.

then. Henry called Ethan Occam and told him to arrange for a talkative technician to bring RealPlayer player software to Manhattan, New York tomorrow morning.

The next day, the man sent by Ethan Occam arrived at the airport to meet Henry. It was a young and steady technician. He was called Jim Berkeley and was very talkative. Good eloquence, wearing a neat suit, confident!

After Henry met with him, he talked about the mission.

"Mr. Williams. Don't worry, I will show the power of our RealPlayer player in front of the major shareholders of NFL!!!"

"Yeah!" Henry nodded slightly, and then said, "Get on the plane, get to Manhattan tonight, then rest for the night, and contact them at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"okay!"

Actually, RealPlayer player is very simple. But Henry is not a technician. If he talks about a lot of technical issues to the NFL board of directors, the credibility is not strong enough. If it is told by professional technical personnel, it will naturally be more convincing!

at night. Henry and Jim Berkeley arrived in New York and then lived in Rockefeller Center. In the Singular Appliance Building, the largest building in Rockefeller Center, Henry deliberately left a few residential suites! After enjoying a rich dinner. Henry returned to the room to rest. Jim Berkeley arranged in another suite.

Henry and Jim Berkeley had breakfast the next day. He immediately set off to the NFL headquarters.

When you get to the place, you don't need to report Henry's name. The lady at the front desk has recognized Henry's identity. She hurried forward and greeted Henry.

"Mr. Williams, President Smith has ordered me, if you come, let me take you directly to the reception room." The receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, please come with me!"

"Ok!"

After a while, Henry came to a reception room that could accommodate forty or fifty people.

At this time, the lady at the front desk gave Henry and Jim Berkeley a glass of water, and then said: "Please wait, I have notified President Smith, and the NFL League board members will arrive later.

"it is good!"

Henry waited for four or five minutes, and a group of people filed in.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

"..."

The people who came in could not help but greet Henry. Henry didn't know any of them, but he knew that these people should be members of the NFL board of directors.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Kyle Smith, president of the NFL League."

"Hello there!"

Kyle Smith is the president hired by the NFL league from outside to help manage league affairs. He smiled and began to preside over this negotiation meeting.

"Mr. Williams, I heard that you are going to buy the NFL League. Come here this time, do you want to convince us?" Smith asked straightforwardly.

Henry nodded: "Yes, that's right!"

Smith laughed and said: "But, Mr. Williams, you have to know that the NFL is a league of 32 teams, and the league’s revenue will belong to the team! If you acquire the NFL league, then the nature of the league will change. ! If you bought the NFL, then how should the money earned by the league be divided?"

Henry has already considered this question, so he can answer it right away without having to think about it.

"Simple, the league needs to spend money to organize events, publicity, operations, etc., charging 5% is not an exaggeration!"

When Henry spoke, there was an uproar in the reception room.

"Last year the NFL's revenue reached 3 billion U.S. dollars, 5% of which is 150 million U.S. dollars!!!"

"Don't think about it, we definitely disagree on this point!"

"..."

Smith looked at Henry and said, "Look, everyone doesn't agree with the distribution method you said, even if it's 5%..."

Henry smiled faintly: "What if I buy the NFL and increase the NFL's revenue to 5 billion US dollars, or even 9 billion US dollars? Don't you agree?"

"How is it possible!" Someone immediately questioned, "Mr. Williams, you are a little bit big! Although the NFL's income has risen steadily in recent years, it is probably impossible to soar so much!"

"What you can't do, I can!" Henry smiled confidently, and then slowly said, "I acquired ABC Broadcasting Company and TBS Broadcasting Company, and owns the largest television media in the United States. In addition, the world's hottest Internet company It’s all in my hands. If I help the NFL do promotion, how can my income not increase? In addition, in Asia, I have bought Asia Television, which has become the largest TV station in Southeast Asia and other places. If the NFL wants to open The Asian market cannot do without my help. Although I don’t have a TV station in Europe, I can buy it if I have money. I can also buy TV stations around the world. With my support from the NFL, wouldn’t the development be much faster than now? In addition, I I will show you one more thing too!" With that, Henry looked at Jim Berkeley.

Jim Berkeley expressed his understanding. He stood up and said, "Everyone, first introduce yourself. My name is Jim Berkeley. I am a technician of Realorks Company under Mr. Williams' name. Here, I will show you our company. A newly developed product RealPlayer video player!"

Jim Berkeley took out the IBM laptop and said: "Maybe you think, what's so great about a video player, there are so many on your computer! But our player is amazing! Because it can be watched online Movies, that is, watching while downloading, and the definition is not worse than DVD!!!"

As soon as Jim Berkeley finished speaking, there was a sudden discussion in the reception room.

"How is it possible? I was surprised to be able to watch while downloading, but the resolution is not worse than DVD?!!!"

"Yeah, I don't really believe it!"

"..."

At this time, Jim Berkeley signaled everyone to be quiet, and then began to talk about the advantages of the technology: "Because we use VBR dynamic bit rate technology..."

After talking for a few minutes, everyone seemed to understand.

Jim Berkeley immediately asked to be connected to the Internet to show them. After that, the laptop was plugged into the Internet, and after connecting to the network, I opened RealPlayer and entered the "Online Movie Library". I also found the movie "Jurassic Park" to download.

After the film began, there has been no delay, and everyone present could not help but secretly smack their tongues and were surprised.

Henry said to everyone at this time: "Actually ~lightnovelpub.net~ this is nothing! You haven't seen the real power of RealPlayer!!!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being shocked.

Smith asked: "Mr. Williams, does this video player have more powerful features?"

"Of course!" Henry said confidently, "RealPlayer video player can be used to live broadcast NFL games, even if tens of millions of people watch the live broadcast at the same time, there will be no delay in the collapse of fire!

Everyone was stunned.

Henry didn't wait for their reaction, but continued: "We use P2P technology. The more people watching the live broadcast, the video will only be smoother! As long as users with Internet access all over the world can use RealPlayer to watch NFL live matches, you can imagine , How much help will this bring to the development of the NFL!!!"

"Okay, now back to the previous question, do you agree with me to buy the NFL?"

(To be continued.)
