On the night of August 3, Beijing's main thoroughfares were locked down in preparation for the Olympics five days later, filled with volunteers, backpackers and sports fans from abroad, and hotels in the city were already overcrowded.

Everyone is waiting for the big day of August 8th.

At this moment, Li Xiaole and the members of the director team were nervously debugging the most difficult equipment in the computer control room of the Bird's Nest, and Li Ning, the Olympic champion holding the torch on the field, was also repeatedly practicing the ignition action of "praising the father day by day".

On the side of the computer control room, Ha Ji Won and Scarlett were still under the guidance of Li Lianjie, and they were still standing tirelessly.

They were already drenched in sweat, their feet were trembling, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, and the two of them competed with each other in their hearts, so that none of them wanted to fall first.

On the TV in front of them, the CCTV Olympic channel was being broadcast uninterruptedly, and on the screen, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao held a regular press conference to answer reporters' questions on the Beijing Olympics and other issues.

"As I have said many times, the VIPs of various countries are invited by the National Olympic Committees to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. As the host, China warmly welcomes leaders of all countries to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games and other activities of the Olympic Games, and will provide necessary facilitation. As for how many national leaders have already confirmed their attendance at the Beijing Olympics, I can only say that the registered guests include heads of state, heads of government, representatives of the royal family, and IOC member states and regional sports ministers. These four categories of people are all registered VIPs to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and related activities, and the number of people has reached more than 80 so far. ”

The people who saw the control room here couldn't help but smack their tongues a little...... Oh my God, there were more than 80 heads of state in attendance on the opening ceremony, and this battle is too big.

Just when everyone was nervous and looking forward to this news, a lace news at the end of the related news made everyone stunned.

"Recently, under the doubts of tens of thousands of sports fans in North America, the four major American television networks and ESPN released a set of data to prove that it is not their problem that they did not broadcast the Olympic Games, and these five companies have their own websites to show that they have an intention contract with a pirate television station that has an exclusive broadcast in North America, it is reported that although the major American television stations are eager to get the broadcast, but the pirate television station has rejected the proposal of all companies and is ready to broadcast the Olympic Games separately......"

This was originally a gossip news, but it immediately made Li Xiaole and Ha Zhiyuan stunned, these guys actually announced the intention contract, what the hell are they doing?

2 months ago, after Li Xiaole simply rejected ESPN's agreement, the other party did not have any overreaction, and thought that everything would be calm, but I didn't expect the sequelae of this matter to attack today.

Of course, this short report doesn't mean anything, no one takes this matter seriously, but the careful Ha Ji Won took out his mobile phone at this time, connected to the Internet, and searched for reports about this incident on Google.

It turns out that today, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Daily News. All three newspapers carried the news at the same time, with the headline: "Pirate TV will broadcast all Olympic games on one channel!" ”

The content of the reports is much the same, and they all question Li Xiaole's complete disregard for the principle of broadcasting sports competitions in order to monopolize the benefits of broadcasting, and even delusionally imagine that one channel can broadcast the Olympic Games, which is simply a joke......

TBS's most popular show, The Conan Show, even aired a video of how people reacted to the incident, in which many sports fans across the United States picked up newspapers and thought it was ridiculous.

The reporter photographed many fans buying today's newspaper next to the street station in New York, scolding while waiting for the bus: "Damn, does this Chinese think our American team is Spain?" Can't win a few gold medals in one Olympics~!? Didn't we win 35 gold medals last time? Did he broadcast so many games on one TV station? ”

In another candid photoshoot in the Chicago subway, someone also complained with a newspaper: "What should I do, just one channel, how many games can he broadcast, and the Dream Team games must not be all transferred...... This Chinese is too selfish. ”

Seeing this, Ha Ji Won hurriedly took his mobile phone and searched on Google casually, and sure enough, in various sports media and online communities, sports fans were full of accusations against Li Xiaole, believing that he was a disgusting businessman who was interested in profit just to earn a little more advertising money.

"These guys are so disgusting......!!"

At this time, Li Xiaole was pointing to the equipment data on the computer, and used the microphone to instruct the workers in the Bird's Nest Gymnasium to adjust the angle of the ring screen in the background, when he heard Ha Zhiyuan shouting behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Li Lianjie speechlessly: "What's wrong with Master Li, they are still playing with iphone while standing on the pile......"

"There's no way, women's hearts can't be settled, let them watch something that can be entertained, but let them persevere, teach them according to their aptitude." Li Lianjie also squinted his eyes and smiled, and commented: "But they are really good, I have never seen such a careful Chinese actress, if I change to other actresses, I will not be able to stand it for a day." ”

After Li Lianjie finished speaking, he beckoned to Ha Ji Won and Scarlett, and said in English: "Okay, it's okay, let's take a break." ”

As soon as he heard this break, Ha Ji Won came over with his mobile phone, and said angrily with trembling legs: "It's too much, these American newspapers actually say that you don't sell broadcast rights in order to make money, you are obviously an aspiring young man with such big feelings, how can these bastards slander you so much!?" ”

Li Xiaole has been busy recently, and he has no leisure to pay attention to the reaction of the media, he looked at Ha Jiyuan's mobile phone, and then found that he had been hacked by his sports news colleagues in the United States, but he did not look surprised at all, but comforted Ha Jiwon with a smile and said: "Chairman He, don't be angry, they just lost the right to vent and vent, no matter how they make a fuss, they can only broadcast the opening ceremony live on the Internet, and it is not a threat to us." ”

"But they're scolding you, don't you see? You're no longer in the United States, and these people don't have the slightest intention of letting you go. ”

"It's best not to let me go." Li Xiaole curled his mouth disapprehantly, these guys must have endured it for a long time, they don't sell them the distribution rights, it's strange if they don't get angry, and they are afraid that this matter will be revealed too early, which is not enough to hit the ratings of the pirate station ratings, so they have to poke it out three days before the opening ceremony.

However, Li Xiaole must not think that they are so excessive, after all, in the eyes of ESPN's top management, he is probably a paranoid who harms others and himself, right? It is normal for them to put pressure on their public opinion in this way, as long as they miss the gold medal project of the American team when they broadcast, they will definitely grab their pigtails and attack to the end and force themselves to distribute the broadcast rights.

"Well, it's a good thing to change the usual." Ha Ji Won glared at Ming and sighed: "You can come to a press conference, what you are best at, hold a press conference, confront them head-on, and then announce a new ratings declaration, let them all surprise you, and you will win the best after the best~!" How perfect~! ”

Ha Ji Won said, his bright eyes flashed and flashed, and he couldn't help but fantasize in his mind, this kind of scene Li Xiaole has staged more than once.

"But there is no way, this opening ceremony is an organizational arrangement, and we can't accept any interviews." Li Xiaole shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he had already signed a contract with the crew, and he had no right to accept any aspects about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games until he got permission from the crew.

"If the opening ceremony does not reach 18 percent, does that mean that our company is going to be finished?" Ha Ji Won was originally full of confidence, but until now, the ratings of Pirate TV have been hovering around 9%, and it is too slim to reach an average of 18 retrospective times for the entire tournament......

Black Pearl's bets are all on this one......

"Don't worry, although these little tricks seem to be clever, there is only one thing that really determines whether we win or lose." Li Xiaole smiled disapprehantly: "That is whether we can impress global sports fans when we reveal the opening ceremony." ”

"So let them do that?" Ha Ji Won bit his lower lip and said reluctantly, he was scolded, do you want to act as if nothing happened? This is really not the pirate style of Black Pearl Company, you must know that Li Xiaole's Facebook has been flooded by those sports fans who grabbed money, and more than 40,000 insults and slanders have been sprinkled......

"We can't be interviewed, but that doesn't mean we can't speak up." Li Xiaole hummed, took out his mobile phone from his pants purse, logged directly to his Facebook account, and typed a message on it:

"The number of gold medals won by the Chinese team will surpass that of the United States this year, and I think one channel should be enough." If this message seems to be sent out, the Yankees who sing about them will probably go crazy.

"Oh my God, you're crazy...... Are you going to be scolded to death? How can China have more gold medals than the United States......" Ha Ji Won leaned over and took the mobile phone, already speechless, in the minds of their South Koreans, the United States is extremely powerful in sports, and it is impossible for any country to be threatened in the gold medal table.

"Ah, you've just pressed send." Scarlett exclaimed from the side.

"Huh!? How do I? Ha Ji Won found that when he took the phone to look at it, he had already clicked Send in the swipe of his fingers, and his little face turned white on the spot, and he was in a hurry to find the deletion interface, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't find it after looking for a long time.

"It's useless, there are already more than 100 forwards...... Scarlett took the mobile phone, sighed beside her while touring, the touch screen phone is not good, and it will be misoperated when you touch it.
