CCTV finally rejected the offer of the Prato club, although even if it paid 3 million, it was far lower than CCTV's advertising revenue, but CCTV has never been coerced, and how much to give has to be according to the rules they have formulated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just when Chen Lin was disheartened and was about to find another way to raise the start-up funds for the next season, a strange phone call came to the hotel where he was staying, and Chen Lin immediately dressed up and hurried out.

At a teahouse outside BJ Chengde, Chen Lin met two southerners from GD.

"Hello Chairman Chen, I am Xu Shaokun, the head of the sports channel of GD Cable TV." The middle-aged man with glasses, who was a little younger among the two, spoke, and then he introduced the fat official next to him who had a slightly bowed head and said, "This is our Director Zhang." ”

The fat official looked like a smiling Maitreya Buddha, which made it easy for people to have a good impression, at this time he held Chen Lin's hand and smiled: "Chairman Chen is really young and promising, my children are about the same age as you, but they only play friends outside every day, how can it be like Chairman Chen has earned such a big family business by himself." ”

Chen Lin smiled reservedly, "Zhang Tai has won the award, I am a child of a poor family, and I have been in charge of the family for a long time." Although he himself is a character who dares to dare to do things, otherwise he would not go abroad alone, but after all, the level of life before was low, and he was far from being able to do long-sleeved dancing when dealing with people in the official face, but people are exercised, and he is adapting a little bit. There is a saying that the ass decides the head, and maybe that's it.

At this time, Xu Shaokun, who was in his early forties and had a capable face, took over the conversation: "Chairman Chen, there is also fate, Zhang Tai and I happened to come to Beijing for a meeting, and I heard that you and CCTV were discussing the broadcast of the game, but it seems that you have not negotiated?" “

"We have a certain disagreement on the transfer price." Chen Lin nodded with a slightly gloomy face: "On the phone just now, you said that you intend to buy the broadcast rights?" “

"Yes." Xu Shaokun quickly said that GD Sports Channel was only approved to be established this year, and GD TV is ambitious and determined to build a professional sports channel with influence in China and even Southeast Asia. It's just that now the funds, technology, and talents are in place, but there is a lack of programs that can become an instant hit, coincidentally, Xu Shaokun and others knew about Prato's peddle of TV broadcast rights next season, and Xu Shaokun and others, who were deeply stimulated by the results of CCTV's broadcast of the Italian Cup last season, immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

3 million is not a problem for GD people with deep pockets, and Xu Shaokun and others have calculated that if the ratings of the Prato game in the new season can reach one-third of last season's Italian Cup, then GD will make a steady profit, and this business can be done no matter how you look at it. However, bargaining is a matter of course, and some things must be clarified.

"Chairman Chen, as far as I know, it seems that the broadcast rights of Italian football matches are sold by the Football Association, why can the broadcast rights of Prato be sold separately?"

Chen Lin, who has done a lot of homework on this, explained with a smile: "There is a misunderstanding in this, for the Football Association, the Italian legislature believes that for each specific game, the Italian Football Federation is only responsible for some technical management work, and does not bear any direct business risks, so it cannot be considered the owner of the broadcast rights, not even a co-owner, in Italy, the club is the sole owner of the football TV broadcast rights." However, due to the cumbersome sale of broadcasting rights by each club in the past, the Serie A and Serie B club alliances negotiated and made arrangements, and the Football Association will obtain special authorization from each club to act as an agent for the opening and sale of TV rights for Serie A, Serie B and the Italian Cup. However, because there was no TV station in the third division before, it did not specifically authorize the Italian Football Federation, so the TV rights are still in the hands of the clubs. ”

Xu Shaokun suddenly made a look of sudden realization: "It's really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years, for the system of major European leagues, we are all blind people touching elephants, and we will inevitably consult Chairman Chen in the future." ”

Chen Lin said "don't dare to be", and then the two sides had a careful discussion on the exclusive TV rights in Prato China next season, and finally focused on the price issue, Chen Lin took a step back and gave a reserve price of 2.8 million, but Xu Shaokun and the two insisted that they could only debut at a maximum of 2.6 million, and both sides tried to convince their opponents, and they were at a stalemate for a while.

At this moment, a Prato staff member who accompanied him walked in quickly. He came to Chen Lin's side, bowed his head and whispered, "Boss, the news just came that he has officially signed a contract." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, his spirits perked up, and he paid a huge price for him, the annual salary of up to 500,000 pounds was almost twice the annual salary of the entire Prato team, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to come out to find money. Chen Lin regained a calm expression on his face: "Zhang Tai and Director Xu, I don't know if you have heard his name?" Then, Chen Lin said a person's name.

Director Zhang and Xu Shaokun looked at each other, they are also mixed in the sports circle, and they also participated in the broadcast of the World Cup in 90, how could they not have heard of this name? Just this year, he also led the Brazilian national team to the Copa America.

"Of course I've heard of it!"

Chen Lin smiled slightly when he heard this: "I don't know if the news of joining Prato next season is worth 200,000?" ”

Xu Shaokun's eyes widened suddenly.

Far away Italy, the 92/93 season is coming to an end, Capello with an almost impossible 58-game unbeaten record in modern football history led AC Milan to be crowned again, and in the Champions League, AC Milan also reached the final again, the opponent is the enemy Marseille team, May 26, 1993 in Munich, Germany, Milan could not attack for a long time, but was attacked by the opponent and succeeded, and finally lost 0-1. However, shortly afterward, Marseille were stripped of the UEFA Champions League and relegated to the second division on suspicion of bribery. AC Milan completed the double in disguise.

However, none of this has much to do with Prato, and for the people of Tuscany, it is not as much of an impact as Fiorentina's relegation this season. Previously, Prato fans were debating whether Gianni Caida would return to the team's squad next season, and people still liked the fierce defensive and tireless young man, and some fans even organized a petition at the club's door. But today, another piece of news has swept through the small town of Prato and even the whole of Tuscany like a storm.

Former Fiorentina star and captain of the Brazilian national team, Carlos? Caetano? Bredorn? Viri has announced that he will join Prato in League 1 next season, and because his name is too long to be called, people are always used to calling him by his nickname - Dunga.

Who is Dunga? Brazil's current captain of the national team, helped Brazil win the Copa America, the under-2o World Youth Championship, and won the Brazilian domestic championship many times, and then joined the Serie A giants Fiorentina at a high price.

With such a player who is famous both in South America and Europe, Prato seems to be 10,000 light-years away from him.

But now Prato has clearly told everyone that Dunga, the famous tough guy in international football circles and the captain of the Brazilian national team with countless honors, will join the team of the first league!

This is biased! The first thought that came to the minds of all the reporters and fans who heard the news turned around was this.

There is no shortage of first-line stars who are on the verge of retirement in the C1 League, but most of these stars have reached the end of their football careers, and some are even close to forty. Dunga is only 30 years old this year, and as a defensive midfielder, he is far from going downhill, last year in the unknown Pescara, he played almost all the games, and even had a classic 5:1 humiliation of Juventus! His arrival will definitely make Prato the most popular team in the League C1!

As soon as the news came out, the Gianni Keda family, who were still gritting their teeth and the club's hard top, were dumbfounded, and the players of the Prato club suddenly felt a chill. This is to abolish the rhythm of Gianni Keda, just imagine, Gianni Keda wants to transfer, but no club can accept such a sky-high price, and want to return to the club to continue playing, the club already has bigger stars in the same position, and you are not needed at all. And Gianni Keda and Prato still have 3 years left on their contracts, and the sense of despair that will have to sit on the bench in the future is simply the biggest punishment for a young player.

And in this turmoil, the most impressive thing is the strength of the Prato club, which would rather abolish Gianni Keda than accept blackmail, and don't care about the transfer fee of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

However, the intimidation was enough, but it also made the players feel that the club was a little ruthless. At this time, he should have given a sweet jujube with a stick, so he didn't have time to watch the Asian qualifiers, Chen Lin rushed back to Italy with a contract of 2.8 million.
