Chapter 12 The Peacock Opens the Screen

After the three of them finished eating from the cafeteria, they went their separate ways, and the second got into the library again.

Unexpectedly, II ran into Ye Zilan in the library's reading room. She was reading the British magazine "The Economist", and when the second saw it, she hurried over to say hello.

"Ye Zilan, what about reading the magazine again?"

"Hello! Qin Long, you also come to read the book. ”

"Yes, look for some sports newspapers and magazines."

"Hey, aren't you studying law?"

"Well, change your mind, now I have a football team inviting me."

"Soccer team, is it a professional club?"

"No, the Faculty of Humanities football team, you also care about football."

"I'm fine, my grandfather was a football fan. By the way, a small question for you, a professional. ”

"Okay, you say, see if I'm a professional? Is it a property dispute? "When the second world hears it, the beautiful woman asks for advice, isn't that a good opportunity to express Xiàn? Like a male peacock, the second opened his tail with beautiful feathers, and said as he patted his chest with his eyebrows.

Ye Zilan glanced at the second world with disgust, and said, "What, it's a mess? I'm talking about football. ”

"Oh, I was wrong, but I'm also an expert in football, you ask!" The second hastened to apologize, and vowed to do so.

"Oh, it's not a small tone, you know Sky TV!" Ye Zilan asked quickly.

"You know, what's wrong?"

"Sky TV paid £191 million for the Premier League TV rights, a lot. By the way, what do you think about this. Ye Zilan slightly raised a pair of beautiful willow eyebrows that were very separated.

"What's so much about this, it's normal?" The second said perfunctorily disapprovingly, and his mind looked at Ye Zilan's eyebrows.

"Normal, the League One becomes the Premier League, isn't it still part of the English league? Just changed the name, and the TV station gave so much money? Are you sure you're a professional? Ye Zilan's brows furrowed, heroic.

"Ha, you're really asking the right person, I really know." The second quickly withdrew his gaze and began to speak loudly.

"Well, tell me about it."

"It's not a simple name change, it's a great change, it's a perfect business case when it comes to managing the crisis in the economy. You are an expert in this area, and you can take a closer look. The second threw bricks and stones, prompted, and patted the sycophants.

Ni has a lot of experience. If you talk to a girl who is beautiful and intelligent, you really can't go too far, adding one point is too long, and subtracting one point is too short. Topic events, you can only say one important point, indicating that you really know about the matter, and then leave most of the content for her to explore by herself, and after she has spent a lot of effort to figure it out, and then correspond to the introduction of your outline, she will be overwhelmed by your knowledge and solid foundation. If you're like a stunned green man, pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and saying it all out of a suffrage, I'm sorry, she may think that you have too many beautiful feathers behind you, and it's too much.

At this time, Ye Zilan let go of her heroic spirit, gently asked the second, and said: "Well, then you tell me, why is the TV broadcast rights of the Premier League worth so much money?" ”

"Okay, why is it worth so much money, this is a question for the money-giver himself, of course, not all rich people are capricious. As the private owner of a media station, profit and cost must come first, and other hobbies must be abdicated to make way for the virtuous. ”

"Yes, I think so too, but do you know how Sky calculates costs and profits?"

"I really don't know how this is calculated, but I know a little bit about how TV stations make money."

"So tell me what I'm working on right now?"

"Okay, Sky TV is a pay TV station now, you should know that, right?"

Ye Zilan nodded, looking gentle and begging.

The second heart blossomed, and he said: "Once the TV station adopts the charging model, if the TV program is not hot, who wants to pay to watch it?" ”

Ye Zilan agreed, she had indeed never seen a pay TV station. Domestic television stations, whether CCTV or local stations, are state-owned and owned by the whole people. The TV station is the service of the people, and it is also a domestic propaganda policy platform. During this period, color TV was a luxury, one of the three major items for poor men to marry wives, and pay TV really didn't have this concept.

That's when Sky TV got their eye on the English football league. Why? Because the place where the British are most willing to spend money and the most willing to spend money is the consumption of football, and it is not a drizzle to pay some money to watch live TV. Therefore, Sky TV paid a high TV broadcast fee to beat its opponent and obtain the broadcast rights of the football league. ”

Ye Zilan also agrees with this, although she is as old as the second and is still young, but she went to the UK to study two years earlier than the second, she is a scholar, and she came to the UK to study after a semester of high school, so Ye Zilan knows the hobbies of the British.

"British fans love football and are willing to spend money on football, and you are right. But fans support their team, the first one should be to watch the football game? ”

"You're right, but you have to know the history of the English league, especially the professional leagues. Haven't you noticed that England fans have come to the stadium so much less than they used to be in recent years? ”

"I really didn't pay attention to this, how did you know?"

How do you know, that's what the second has been reading the newspaper frantically for the past two days, and now the second has an amazing memory, can he not know? But II, in order to maintain the mystery, gave an alternative explanation.

"That's because since the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedy, England fans are more or less afraid or unwilling to go to the stadium to watch the game, because the stadium is not safe, which also triggers the "Taylor Report" to the safety of the stadium, and now the English league lacks stars, and the excitement of the game has declined, of course, this is also related to the Iron Lady Thatcher wielding a knife from the palace and eliminating Europe."

"What do you say? Blind metaphors. Ye Zilan was unhappy.

People in this era are pure, especially girls. The words of waving a knife from the palace are suspected of defiling the ears and eyes of the saints, and those who say such things are hooligans.

The second is more clever, and he immediately reacted, and he couldn't destroy his lofty image in Ye Zilan's heart. Whether this is really the case, the second did not ask Ye Zilan, even if she asked, she would not say. Or is it because of the question of purity, in this day and age, if a girl says that she has a good image of a certain young man, what kind of woman is that? If it sounds good, it's a nymphomaniac, and if it's not good, it's a water-based poplar.

"Soory, I'm sorry, you know, I was taught English in elementary school, and I didn't learn figurative rhetorical devices well. ”

The second self-deprecating words finally attracted "hee-hee" laughter, looking at Ye Zilan's charming appearance of covering her mouth and smiling, the second was relieved, and the embarrassment passed.

The second couldn't help but sigh that in this era, chatting with a beautiful and intelligent woman is not an easy job.
