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

The expert said: "As we all know, Henry Williams owns a television station under his name, and one of the purposes of his acquisition of the NFL is to obtain the broadcast rights of the NFC! Needless to say, everyone can imagine that Henry Williams will definitely sell the broadcast rights of the NFL at a low price!"

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

"Refuse to buy, refuse to monopolize !!"

“……”

ABC Building Headquarters.

Henry frowned, and asked Robert Robert, a well-known American barrister who was proficient in monopoly, who was sitting in front of him: "Lawyer Robert, does my acquisition of the NFL really constitute a monopoly?"

Robert smiled slightly: "Strictly speaking, it's not a monopoly, after all, the NFL is not the only organization that holds football games. However, due to the huge influence of the NFL, it can also be regarded as a monopoly. The key to how to define this is to see what the American people and the 32 teams in the NFL league think! If they are mostly in favor of your acquisition, then there is no problem! It's just ......"

Henry looked at him and motioned to continue.

"Leagues like the NFL don't make a profit on their own, and the proceeds are ultimately distributed to the teams," Robert said. And the reason for this is that the board of directors of the NFL league is made up of the owners of 32 team clubs, which means that each team is the shareholder of the league!!

Currently, the NFL league operates on a "revenue sharing" model, which means that each team receives the same amount of money. If you buy the NFL, then it will inevitably change the way the benefits are distributed! But such a change will inevitably affect the income of each team, so the acquisition plan is difficult!

So, generally speaking, they don't bring in a new shareholder unless that shareholder can create a greater benefit for them!"

Henry nodded in understanding.

If you want to buy the NFL, you have to make the team realize your value and be able to make more money!

Henry was silent for a while, then 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!"

"All right, Mr. Williams!" Rob nodded.

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

Nicholas IMDB, a subsidiary of Real-Orks.

Hearing that Henry was coming to Real-Orks, IMDB EO Marcy Philemon hurriedly rushed over to accompany him to inspect Real-Orks, and Ethan Occam, CEO of Real-Orks, also rushed over!

Ethan Occam, about 50 years old, Chinese-American, graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, was originally the technical director of the IMDB website, and has been promoted to the EO of Real-ORKS, which Henry has developed for the RMVB video format and RealPlayer video player developed by Real-ORKS.

"How's it going?, are RMVB and RealPlayer developed?" asked Henry, turning to Ethan Occam.

"It's done!!," Ethan Occam replied excitedly, "the rmvb video format, I dare say it's the best and most advanced video format in the world." We use the VBR technology (dynamic bitrate technology) you mentioned earlier, the video clarity can not only be compared to the effect of DVD, but also can compress the video file to a very small size! At the same time, the video in RMVB format can be formulated with different compression ratios according to different network speeds, so that the image data can be transmitted and played back in real time even on the network with low network speed! Finally, the 'fogging' technology is also used, even if the screen is enlarged, at most blurry, without mosaic! As for RealPlayer Video Player......"

Ethan Occam laughs: "With the support of Williams Labs technicians, P2P technology has been perfectly applied in the RealPlayer video player!!!

"Very good!!," Henry praised. Later, he asked Ethan Occam to show him how to watch a movie on RealPlayer.

Ethan Occam answered, grabbed a laptop, and opened the realplayer.

"Chairman, I'm going to the RealPlayer 'Online Library' to download a movie and watch it!" said Ethan Occam, "Since we haven't officially announced our development yet, the online library currently only has Galaxy Films!"

Henry nodded in understanding, and motioned for him to continue.

Ethan Occam found a movie "Jurassic Park" and downloaded it to watch.

Then, Ethan Occam turned to look at Henry and said, "Chairman, the Internet speed we are using now is 56kbps, which is about the same as the current Internet speed of ordinary families! At first, it takes 30 seconds to cache the download, and the content at the beginning of the movie is cached first to ensure smooth viewing later!"

After 20 seconds, the movie begins.

Henry mainly observed the picture, and felt that it was okay, the picture was clear, and there was no blurry. Then the movie ran for more than ten minutes, and there was no delay!

"Chairman, if the internet speed is better, we can still see a clearer picture!" Ethan Occam added, "56kbps is only the standard mode, the definition is average, the higher the internet speed, there can be two types: normal and HD!"

"Well, that's good!" Henry nodded in satisfaction, then thought of something, and asked, "How big is the realplayer?"

"Since only RMVB format video is currently supported, it's only 5MB!" Ethan Ocam 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, and Microsoft has an operating system, so there must be a lot of people who are willing to make AVI format video files! Henry hesitated for a moment, whether to be compatible with AVI format videos. However, when you think that RMVB currently has an absolute advantage, it 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 position and suppress AVI.

In addition, the current network speed is too slow, realplayer player should not add too much code, the smaller the software, the better, when users download, there is no need to wait too long!

So, Henry said to Ethan Occam: "Not compatible with !!"

The RM format in the previous life has beaten avi, and the RMVB evolution version is even stronger, just like Ultraman fighting a little monster.

Ethan Occam nodded in response, "yes, okay." Then he asked, "Oh, chairman, when are our products going to be released?"

"The sooner the better!"

Henry thought for a while, and immediately instructed Ethan Occam: "Oh, by the way, before that, buy some film and television rights! realplayer's 'online library' needs to be enriched with more online movie !!" Henry immediately looked at Marcy Felimon and said: "In terms of funds, the parent company of Nicholas IMDB will give them full support!!"

Marcy Felimon and Ethan Occam looked at each other and nodded!

Henry said lightly: "At present, film companies and TV companies do not attach importance to film and television network copyrights, so this time we must buy enough excellent film and television works!"

"Okay, I understand!" Marcy Felimon nodded.

Henry personally used the realplayer at this time, and while experiencing it, he said to Ethan Occam: "The realplayer 'online library' needs to be classified in order to make it more convenient for users to use, so as to enhance the user's experience! Therefore, movies and television are separated, and then they are subdivided into multiple genres such as sci-fi, action, horror, and drama!"

"Well, okay, I'll let the technician make the improvements then!" Ethan Occam said.

After Henry turned off the realplayer, he stood up and said to the two of them, "That's probably all, if it's all ready, the realplayer player can be released and released!!"

……

……

After Henry leaves, Marcy Felimon prepares to buy the film and TV production, and Ethan Occam goes to improve the RealPlayer. At this time, lawyer Robert called Henry to inform him that NFL shareholders had promised to meet him at 9 a.m. in three days at the NFL headquarters in Manhattan, New York.

The next day, Marcy Felimon went to buy film and television works, and it didn't go well.

The studios considered that movies could also make money through video tapes and TV replays, and that they would lose a lot if they could also watch them on the Internet.

Marcy Felimon sent five teams to run more than 20 film companies, but the replies were all the same.

In the end, Marcy Felimon was able to buy films and TV shows that were no longer selling!

Later that day, Marcy Felimon reported the situation to Henry. Henry thought to himself, although film and television companies don't pay attention to online copyright, it doesn't mean that they are stupid, if they can watch movies online, the income of natural video tapes will be reduced accordingly!

Henry suddenly thought of something and laughed suddenly.

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

But now it's different, a one-and-a-half-hour movie can be compressed to a minimum of more than a hundred MB if you use the RMVB format. It is conceivable that the conditions for making pirated videos are ripe, and they must not grow everywhere like mushrooms after a rain?!

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

"Begging us to buy it?" Marcy Felimon was stunned for a moment, when he went to buy the film and television rights, he didn't know how difficult it was, especially some of the more popular movies, which were just like the treasures of the town store and were not for sale.

Henry didn't explain to him, and hung up after a few words.

Then, Henry called Ethan Occam and told him to arrange for a talkative technician to follow him to Manhattan, New York, tomorrow morning with realplayer software.

The next day, Ethan Occam sent men to the airport to meet Henry, a young and steady technician named Jim Berkeley, who was very talkative. He has good eloquence, wears a neat suit, and is full of confidence!

When Henry met with him, he told him about his mission.

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

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

"Well, okay!"

Actually, the RealPlayer player is very simple, but Henry is not a technical person, and he is not credible enough if he talks a lot of technical problems to the NFL board. It would be more convincing if it was told by a professional technical person!

In the evening, Henry and Jim Berkeley arrived in New York and then stayed at Rockefeller Center. In the Strange Appliance Building, the largest building in Rockefeller Center, Henry specially left a few suites to live in! After a rich dinner, Henry returned to his room to rest. Jim Berkeley arranged in another suite.

The next day, Henry and Jim Berkeley had breakfast and immediately set off for the NFL headquarters.

When I arrived at the place, I didn't need Henry to report his name, and the front desk lady had already recognized Henry's identity. She hurried forward and greeted Henry.

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

"Okay!"

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

At this point, the front desk lady brought Henry and Jim Berkeley a glass of water and said, "Please wait, I've informed President Smith, and the NFL League Board of Directors will arrive later." ”

"Good!"

Henry waited for four or five minutes before a group of mermaids rushed in.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

“……”

The people who came in couldn't help but greet Henry, who didn't know any of them, but he knew that these people were supposed to be members of the NFL board.

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

"Hello!"

Kyle Smith is the president of the NFL league hired from outside to help manage the league's affairs. He smiled and began to preside over the negotiations.

"Mr. Williams, I heard that you are buying the NFL league, and you came here to convince us, right?" asked Smith straight to the point.

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

Smith smiled: "But, Mr. Williams, you must know that the NFL is a league of 32 teams, and the league's revenue will belong to the team! If you buy the NFL league, then the nature of the league will change! If you buy the NFL, then may I ask, how should the league divide the money?"

Henry had already thought about it, so he didn't have to think about it, he could answer it right away.

"It's simple, the league needs to spend money on holding events, publicity, operations, etc., and it's not too much to charge 5%!"

As soon as Henry spoke, there was an uproar in the reception room.

"Last year, the NFL's revenue reached $3 billion, and 5% had $150 million !!"

"Don't think about it, we definitely don't agree with that!"

“……”

Smith looked at Henry and said, "You see, everyone disagrees with the way you said the distribution, even if it's 5% ......"

Henry smiled faintly: "What if I buy the NFL and raise the NFL's revenue to $5 billion, or even $9 billion?

"How is that possible!" Someone immediately questioned, "Mr. Williams, you are talking a little big! Although the NFL's revenue has been rising steadily in recent years, it is probably impossible to skyrocket so much!"

"What you can't do, I can!" Henry smiled confidently, and then said slowly, "I have acquired ABC Broadcasting Company and TBS Broadcasting, owning the largest television media in the United States, in addition, the world's hottest Internet companies are also in my hands, if I help the NFL to do promotion, how can the income not increase? In addition, in Asia, I have bought the Asian Television Company, which has now become the largest TV station in Southeast Asia and other places, if the NFL wants to open up the Asian market, it can't be without my help." I don't have a TV station in Europe, but I have the money to buy it, and I can buy TV stations all over the world, and the NFL has my backing, and the NFL is growing much faster than it is now?

Jim Berkeley understood, and he stood up and said, "Guys, first of all, I want to introduce myself, my name is Jim Berkeley, and I am a technician at Real-Orks, a property owned by Mr. Williams. Here, I will show you one of our company's latest products, RealPlayer Video Player!"

Jim Berkeley took out his IBM laptop and said, "You may think, what's so great about a video player, there's so much on a computer! But our player is amazing! Because it can watch movies online, that is, download and watch at the same time, and the definition is not !! worse than that of a DVD."

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

"How is it possible? I was amazed to be able to download and watch at the same time, and the definition is no worse than that ?!!of a DVD."

"yes, I don't believe it!"

“……”

At this point, Jim Berkeley motioned for silence and then began to talk about the advantages of the technology: "Because we use VBR dynamic bitrate technology......"

After speaking for a few minutes, everyone seemed to understand what they didn't understand.

Jim Berkeley immediately asked to connect to the Internet and give them a demonstration. Subsequently, the laptop was plugged into the Internet cable, and after connecting to the Internet, I opened RealPlayer, entered the "Online Library", and also found the movie "Jurassic Park" to download.

After the film began, there was no delay, and everyone present couldn't help but secretly smack their tongues and be surprised.

Henry then said to the crowd: "Actually, this is nothing! The real power of the realplayer, you haven't seen it yet!!"

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

Smith asked, "Mr. Williams, is there anything more powerful about this video player?"

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

Everyone was stunned.

Henry didn't wait for their reaction, but continued: "We use P2P technology, and the more people watch the live stream, the smoother the video will be! Users around the world who have an Internet connection can use RealPlayer to watch NFL live games, and you can imagine how much this will help the development of the NFL!!

"Okay, now back to the previous question, do you agree with my acquisition of the NFL?"
