Chapter 190 Want To Discuss A Business Deal With Mr. Stern
“Okay, the agreement has been signed and the matter is finalized. The only thing we have to do next is to work hard to develop a product that opens a new era of smartphones.
Lu Yi is not ready to dwell on this issue anymore.
With his presence, it is certain to usher in a new era of smartphones.
"You two happen to be here, and I have something to discuss with you.
"What's up?"
Liu Hong and Liu Hong looked at Lu Yi in confusion.
Lu Yi asked: "How big do you think the NBA market is in China?"
This question immediately stopped Liu Hong and the two of them.
Who knows how big the NBA's domestic market is.
"What are your plans?" Lin Qingya asked.
"In 1989, NBA President David Stern knocked on the door of CCTV with a carefully prepared NBA video tape, and signed a broadcast agreement with CCTV. Zhengwu entered the country. 17
"However, before 1998, the NBA basically gave away program content and signals for free (it would send a highlight to China every week), and only broadcast the NBA in the center of the program.
"Moreover, NBA officials will pay for the broadcast team of CCTV to broadcast the All-Star Game and the Finals live."
"This seemingly loss-making deal has laid a deep fan base for the NBA in the world's most populous country. 17
"After the millennium, as Wang Zhizhi, Battle, and Dayao successively landed in the NBA, the NBA's Dragon Kingdom elements appeared, which played a vital role in the NBA's Dragon Kingdom marketing market."
"Especially after Yao Yao was elected as the No. 1 pick in the NBA, there has been a greater demand for live broadcasts in China. CCTV's weekly live broadcasts have changed from 1 to 2, 3, and 4 games, but it is still not enough to satisfy the appetite of domestic fans. .”
"It can be seen from this that the NBA has very high popularity and fans in China."
"But now, the only way to broadcast the NBA in China is CCTV's five broadcasts, but the number of CCTV broadcasts is far from meeting the huge demand of domestic fans.
"I was wondering if we could broadcast the NBA."
Lu Yi said.
Liu Hong asked: "Is it possible? But what can we use to broadcast the NBA?"
“In my plan, future technology will be involved in video, MP3 and other fields.
"We can develop a video player and create an NBA column to specialize in live broadcast or broadcast of NBA games."
"Of course, it's not free for fans to watch."
"We can set up memberships, members can enjoy the right to be exempted from advertising, members can watch live broadcasts, etc."
"NBA fans are mainly young people between the ages of 19 and 30. The reason is that NBA is the highest-level basketball game in the world. Basically, every basketball fan will pay attention to it. Basketball is an intense sport with its thrilling kills and cool moves. People, fierce confrontation, and fighting spirit are mainly loved by young people."
"Young people have strong spending power. In order to watch NBA live broadcasts, they are willing to pay for membership to watch the live broadcasts without advertising."
Lu Yi's words made Liu Hong and Lin Qingya's eyes light up.
Originally, they were worried that they would not be able to make money by broadcasting the NBA.
But the membership system Lu Yi mentioned is a good solution.
after all.
The wool still comes from the sheep.
Lin Qingya said: "If the company wants to get involved in the film and television field in the future, I support starting to lay the foundation at this stage. Broadcasting the NBA can indeed gather a lot of users in a short period of time."
"I agree in theory, after all, I have now left Future Technology." Liu Hong said.
Lu Yi thought for a while and said: "Then it's decided! Tomorrow I will visit NBA President David Stern and talk to him about the broadcast rights. He racked his brains in order to open up the NBA market in Dragon Country. If we want to broadcast the NBA, he should be very happy."
Another idea Lu Yi has is to sign a longer broadcast period now and directly sign a 20-year long-term contract.
Otherwise, the further you go, the more popular the NBA becomes in Dragon Country, and the higher the broadcast fees will be.
For example, in 2014, Goose Factory won the exclusive live broadcast rights on the Internet for five years and 500 million yuan, which is a sky-high price.
But at this time, I definitely can’t ask for so much.
Just do it.
Immediately.
Lu Yi called Edward and asked him to help make an appointment with David Stern.
Edward was confused when he heard that Lu Yi was going to meet with David Stern.
what's the situation?
You're an Internet person, why do you want to meet with the NBA president?
But of course we have to comply with the boss's request.
David Stern was also confused after receiving Edward's call.
The boss of future technology wants to meet him, what the hell?
the next day.
Lu Yi took a group of people and flew to Princeton, New Jersey, on the east coast of the United States.
David Stern is here on business.
A certain coffee shop.
Lu Yi met David Stern.
"Hello, Mr. David Stern0...." Lu Yi was the first to say hello.
David Stern was stunned for a moment when he saw the young man in his twenties in front of him.
He originally thought that the boss of Future Technology would be an old man in his fifties or sixties, but it turned out to be a young man!
"Hello, are you... Mr. Lu Yi, the future technology CEO?" David Stern asked in a tentative tone.
Lu Yi smiled and said: "It's me."
"Um, Phantom, it's incredible. I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so young. Please forgive me for my gaffe." David Stern said.
"Haha, Mr. David Stern, there is an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom, age is not as important as ambition." Lu Yi said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and David Stern asked directly: "I was very confused when I received a call from Edward last night. I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to see me for?
Lu Yi said: "I know that Mr. David Stern has been committed to the global development of the NBA, and pays special attention to the promotion of the NBA in the Dragon Country. I came here today to discuss a business deal with Mr. Stern."
"Business talk?" David Stern looked puzzled.
"Yes." Lu Yi nodded, "Mr. Stern should know something about our future technology, right?"
"A little bit, Future Technology is a great Internet company, and its Face is very good. I am a loyal Face user."
"To be honest, Mr. Stern, I want to win the NBA's exclusive network broadcast rights in Dragon Country.
As soon as these words came out, David Stern was stunned.
Lu Yi and what he said about doing business is that he wants to get the exclusive copyright for online broadcasting?
If it is like 1.7, then he can only ask for it!
He is committed to promoting the NBA in Dragon Country. Since becoming NBA president in 1984, he has wanted to promote NBA games to the world, and Dragon Country is an indispensable part.
if not.
In 1989, it was impossible for him to fly to Longguo with a few boxes of video tapes and then wait in the CCTV communication room for a full hour.
Through his unremitting efforts, the NBA has now gradually become popular in Long Country.
Especially after Yao landed in the NBA as the No. 1 pick, the market of Dragon Country was further opened, and the Rockets became the home team of Dragon Country fans.
It’s just that fans of the Dragon Kingdom want to watch NBA games. Now the only way is to broadcast one or two games a week on CCTV, which is pitiful.
He is also thinking of ways to further expand the NBA's market in the Dragon Country. Now is the time when someone gives him a pillow when he feels sleepy. How can he not be happy!
