Chapter 191: Fooling 150 million

Although I really want the French goddess to be included in the house, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so when I separated from Sophie Marceau, Wang Zifan just asked for contact information, and did not make other excessive requests, the better the wine, the more you have to taste it slowly, not to mention that Sophie Marceau also signed a brokerage company, if you want to soak the goddess, you must buy out her contract first!

kissed the goddess goodbye and returned to the hotel, Shi Nansheng and the Englishman seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Wang!" Shi Nansheng greeted him, and then turned around and introduced: "This is Mr. Henry, the director of overseas programs of BBC TV in the United Kingdom!"

"BBC's?" Wang Zifan was quite surprised, and thought it was a film producer.

Henry's expression was haughty, and in front of the Hong Kong people, he felt superior to others.

Wang Zifan frowned, thinking what garlic to put in front of Lao Tzu! asked Shi Nansheng in Chinese: "What is this ghost doing here?"

Shi Nansheng couldn't cry or laugh, the title of ghost old is not a good title, and kindly reminded back: "They want to do the "Millionaire" show!"

I see!

Wang Zifan suddenly realized that the success of "Millionaire" was not accidental, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong on the first day of broadcasting, and the ratings of Jiashi soared, suppressing the wireless variety show ace program "Happy Tonight" in one fell swoop, the ratings of the first episode were 59%, and the second episode naturally broke through the 60 mark, once rising to 63%, and the rise slowed down on the third day, but it was also close to 65%. Li's collapse was overwhelming, and the ratings were so strong, not only did Hong Kong newspapers and magazines report in turn, but under Wang Zifan's silver bullet offensive, overseas media also came to join in the fun, and Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, the United States, and European media reported the news one after another, and the impact of the "Millionaire" program far exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is estimated that the BBC also took a fancy to the popularity of the program and was suitable for broadcasting in the United Kingdom, so it sent someone to buy the copyright.

"How much does the ghost old man bid?"

"100,000 dollars!"

"How much?"

"One hundred thousand!" Shi Nansheng responded with an affirmative look.

Wang Zifan was not even in the mood to negotiate, and sneered: "Lao Tzu wants to take advantage of the fire to rob before he is bankrupt, send off guests!"

"What?" Henry was dumbfounded, he was coming for "Millionaire", the British BBC headquarters was very interested in this program, and informed him to win the copyright, and learned that the negotiation partner was a Hong Kong person, in order to make a big difference, and in order to prove his ability, he took on the negotiation task alone, I thought it was easy to get things done, but I didn't expect to be rejected before the negotiation, when did Hong Kong people dare to be presumptuous in front of the British.

"Do you want to win the broadcast rights for 100,000 yuan?" Wang Zifan showed a mocking look on his face.

Shi Nansheng was very knowledgeable and did not interject, 100,000 pounds is not a lot for her, the British BBC bought the broadcast rights of the Jia TV program, which is a very honorable thing in the eyes of Hong Kong people, if Henry bothered to go to Hong Kong to negotiate with Huang Xizhao, maybe he would be able to achieve his goal, but he came to find Wang Zifan instead.

Henry said proudly: "I'm talking about pounds!"

Wang Zifan said lightly: "Do you know how much the prize is for one episode of our game?"

Henry said, "A million...... HKD!"

Wang Zifan said: "Yes, then do you still think that I lack the 100,000 pounds?"

Fifty years ago, the Hong Kong government announced that it would abandon the silver standard, with the Hong Kong dollar as the local currency, and pegged the Hong Kong dollar to the pound at the exchange rate of 16 Hong Kong dollars to 1 pound sterling, in the sixties and seventies, the Hong Kong dollar was still linked to the pound sterling, but the economic strength of the United Kingdom weakened after the war, especially after the British announced the free float of the national currency in June 1972, the pound once depreciated sharply.

As a result, the Hong Kong dollar was no longer valued by the British pound, and soon climbed to another high branch, and the Hong Kong government pegged the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar, initially at 5.65 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar, and in February 1973 it was changed to 5.085 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar.

Since November 1974, because of the weakness of the US dollar, the Hong Kong dollar is not as good as the US dollar, and the pound has become a bachelor, after the free float, the Hong Kong dollar continues to appreciate to 4.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar, maintaining this 4.6 exchange rate until now, but it is not very stable, due to the fact that China and Britain are going to negotiate the future of Hong Kong, coupled with the stock market crash in the Hong Kong stock market, the crisis of confidence caused by the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate fell sharply, and the Hong Kong dollar has become a young man who is not to be seen, and the value of the currency is falling every day.

Henry frowned, feeling embarrassed and asked, "Half a million pounds, this is my highest price!"

Wang Zifan said lightly: "Ten million pounds!"

"What! 10 million? Oh God, you must be crazy!" Henry felt that Wang Zifan was not sincere in negotiating, and shouted: "You must know, I am representing the BBC, our official television station of the British Empire, you Hong Kong should respect us, understand!"

Wang Zifan shrugged his shoulders and said: "First of all, I don't think you have anything to respect, and secondly, the price of 10 million pounds is very fair!"

"Justice?" Henry shook his hands, arrogant and reserved, and spat flying: "You must know that 10 million pounds can be exchanged for 150 million Hong Kong dollars, impossible! You must be crazy!"

Wang Zifan said lightly: "It's 150 million for us, but for you, it's 10 million!"

Henry shook his head and pretended to say, "I don't understand what you're saying!"

Wang Zifan thought to himself that this British guy is really funny, if you really don't want to buy it, just leave, the long-winded rebuttal itself is an attitude, since the other party wants to buy, then the problem is simple, and said with a smile: "Britain is different from Hong Kong, with the same ratings, your TV station can charge ten times the advertising fee, and you can buy the copyright with 10,000 pounds, and you can win back 30 million or even 300 million profits in a short time, do you still feel that you are losing money?"

Henry argued: "These are all your guesses!"

Wang Zifan said: "I think this is the truth, I think you have done market research, in Hong Kong, we are a newly established TV station, the ratings have been suppressed by TVB, broadcast this program, the effect is obvious, now compare the ratings of wireless and Li, you will understand the potential of this program, with the weak defeating the strong, I think the other two TV stations in your country will be more interested." ”

Henry was stunned, he was threatened, and then fell silent, if the copyright was bought by an independent TV station and it really staged a farce of ratings counterattack, I am afraid that he would be directly responsible, and he would be directly responsible for resigning? and be fired directly......

Henry swallowed and snorted, "I'm sorry, your asking price is too high, and I don't have the right to make a decision." ”

"There's a phone here, do you need it?"

"No, no, I don't think the members of the Taiwan Committee will agree to it!"

"That's a shame!"

"Mr. Wang, I think the price can be lower!"

"It can't be any lower!"

Although Henry's attitude was weak, Wang Zifan still did not give an inch, and the negotiations were about to collapse.

Shi Nansheng smiled: "If both sides feel embarrassed, why don't we sit down and have a good talk!"

Henry shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, I have been authorized by the headquarters to buy the broadcast rights of your TV program "Millionaire" for up to three million, and ten million is impossible. ”

Wang Zifan said quietly: "What if I sell the broadcast rights in other regions to you?"

Henry looked surprised, his eyes rolled, so he said, "In this case, I think we can continue to negotiate!"

Wang Zifan can't help but wonder, this is also something that can't be helped, Hong Kong's influence is too small, it can't radiate to Europe at all, and even the United States and Japan can't look down on Hong Kong programs, so that such a sensational program as "Millionaire" is unexpectedly unexpectedly unexpected, and Britain is different, it is a European power itself, and every move is concerned, and borrowing them to beat the fame of "Millionaire" is also a good thing for Jiashi.

The most important thing is that he needs funds now, after all, there is still a Li Chaoren in Hong Kong, and he may counterattack at any time.

After Henry asked for instructions from the locality, he proposed a list of countries and regions, Wang Zifan and Shi Nansheng began to bargain, he cared about several big countries in Europe, as for the big markets such as the United States and Japan, Britain wanted it to be a dream, and finally Wang Zifan retained patents in Asia, North America and other regions, sold the broadcasting rights in Northern Europe, Western Europe, and Latin America to the United Kingdom, and finally gave away the African region for free, of course, the premise is that there are TV stations in Africa, and they are willing to buy program broadcast rights!
