Although Qiu Meiqi was unwilling, Qiu Degen still transferred 5% of ATV's shares to Ye Tian's name, and the moment the agreement was signed, Ye Tian also became a veritable shareholder of ATV, and his title was also promoted, and his full name was Executive Director of Asia Television.

The success of "Millionaire" is not accidental, the ratings of the first episode were 59%, the second episode naturally broke through the 60 mark, once reaching 63%, and the rise rate slowed down on the third day, but it was also close to 66%, breaking the ATV ratings record for three consecutive days, not only Hong Kong newspapers and periodicals reported in turn, under the offensive of Ye Tianyin's bullet, overseas media also came to join in the fun, 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.

A week later, ATV officially received Steven and his party from the Chinese department of BBC Television.

BBC Chinese's office in Central, BBC Chinese has six and a half hours of Mandarin and half an hour of Cantonese every day, as well as an hour-long "Current Affairs Week", which is broadcast every Sunday morning by Radio Television Hong Kong, and foreigner Steven is the head of the Chinese department of the station.

Steven naturally came for "Millionaire", the British BBC headquarters was very interested in this program, and informed him to win the broadcast rights, in order to monopolize the credit, and in order to prove his ability, he took on the negotiation task alone, and he thought it would be easy to get a thing, but who knew that he ran into Ye Tian.

"Do you want to win the broadcast rights for 100,000?" Ye Tian showed a thick mocking look on his face.

Chen Baixiang paid attention to Steven's expression, looked at Ye Tian again, and was very knowledgeable and did not interject, 100,000 pounds is a lot for ATV, and the British BBC bought the broadcast rights of ATV's programs, which was originally a very honorable thing.

Steven said proudly, "Dear Mr. Ye. I'm talking about pounds! ”

Ye Tian sneered: "Don't say 100,000 pounds, I won't agree to 1 million pounds!" ”

“why？” Steven was dumbfounded, his face was full of confusion, he came with sincerity, but Ye Tian refused so simply, 100,000 pounds seemed to be very little. But when it is converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is definitely an astronomical amount.

Ye Tian said lightly: "Do you know how much the bonus is for one episode of our game?" ”

Steven said, "A million...... Hk dollar! ”

Ye Tiandao: "Yes, then do you still think I lack the 100,000 pounds?" ”

The gold content of the pound is very high, Ye Tian knows this very well, but no matter how high the gold content is, how high can a small 100,000 pounds go, 50 years ago, the Hong Kong government announced that it would abandon the silver standard and use the Hong Kong dollar as the local currency. In the sixties and seventies, the Hong Kong dollar was still pegged to the British pound, but after the war, Britain's economic strength weakened, especially after the British announced the free float of its 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 instead. The initial exchange rate was HK$5.65 to US$1, but in February 1973 it was changed to HK$5.085 to US$1.

Since November 1974. Because of the weakness of the US dollar, the Hong Kong dollar is not as good as the US dollar, and it has become a bachelor like the British pound, and the Hong Kong dollar continues to appreciate to 4.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar after free floating, maintaining this 4.6 exchange rate until now, but it is not very stable. The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate fell sharply due to the crisis of confidence triggered by the upcoming negotiations between China and the UK on Hong Kong's future and the stock market crash in Hong Kong.

Ye Tian also plans to use this opportunity to make a small fortune, and if he remembers it well, the Hong Kong dollar will fall sharply next year. It fell to HK$9.6 per US$1 at one point, and continued to plummet to a minimum of HK$11 per US$1 in September.

If Ye Tian converts Hong Kong dollars into US dollars in advance, when the Hong Kong dollar falls to the bottom, and then converts US dollars into Hong Kong dollars, his wealth will invisibly double, and the Hong Kong government will forcibly raise Hong Kong dollars to 7.8 to 1 US dollar, and his wealth will appreciate by 30%, of course, provided that he converts Hong Kong dollars into US dollars.

These are all plans, Ye Tian naturally won't tell the foreigner in front of him that the price in his heart is twenty times that of 100,000 pounds, that is, two million pounds.

"Three million pounds!"

“what？ Million? Oh God, you must be crazy! ”

Steven felt that Ye Tian was not sincere in negotiating, and shouted: "I want to see your chairman!" ”

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said: "You don't have the chairman, the copyright of "Millionaire" is here with me, is three million pounds a lot for you?" ”

Steven shook his hands exaggeratedly and reminded: "You must know that three million pounds can be exchanged for thirty-five million Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Ye Tian said lightly: "It's thirty-five million for us, but for you, it's three million!" ”

Steven shook his head and said with a look of regret, "I don't understand what you're saying!" ”

Ye Tiandao: "With the same ratings, your TV station can charge ten times the advertising fee, and you can buy the copyright with 3 million pounds, and you can win back 30 million or even 300 million profits, do you still feel that you are losing money?" ”

Steven argued: "These are all your guesses! ”

Ye Tian smiled and groaned: "I think this is the truth, ATV ratings have been suppressed by wireless, broadcast this program, the effect is very obvious, now compare the wireless and ATV ratings, you will understand the power of this program, let the weak and the strong, I think the other two TV stations in your country will be more interested." ”

Steven was stunned, and then fell silent, if the copyright is bought by an independent TV station, and it really stages a farce of ratings counterattack, I'm afraid he is directly responsible, and he will resign? Straight expelled? It may also be passed down as an allusion.

Look at! It was that stupid pig Steven, who had no eyes and didn't know gold, missed the BBC development opportunity, and let the independent TV buy the broadcast rights of "Millionaire", which surpassed the BBC in ratings and became the largest TV station in the UK.

Steven shuddered, terrifying to think about.

Ye Tian leaned forward and said in confusion: "Our ATV is the best example, you can't buy three million and suffer a loss, and you can't buy three million to be fooled......"

Steven swallowed and snorted, "I'm sorry, your asking price is too high, I need to report to headquarters." ”

"I have a phone here, do you need it?"

"Thank you."

Ye Tian gave Yu Zheng a look and ordered, "You lead the way for Mr. Steven." ”

"Mr. Helen, please!" Yu Zheng wouldn't call 'Mr. Steven' like Ye Tian, Steven is the first name, and Helen is the last name.

Chen Baixiang quipped: "Director Ye, this ghost guy is very easy to deceive. ”

Ye Tian commented: "He has been comfortable in Hong Kong for a long time and lacks experience. ”

Chen Baixiang said unexpectedly: "Do you know him?" ”

Ye Tian said with a smile: "I got the news the day before he came, Miss Yu is the producer of Radio Television Hong Kong, and the Chinese station that Steven is in charge of is a cooperative relationship with Radio Television Hong Kong." ”

Chen Baixiang suddenly said: "Miss Yu got the news from Radio Television Hong Kong. ”

Ye Tian corrected: "It's not RTHK, it's BBC Chinese, that is, a subordinate of Steven." ”

"I see."

"So, before the negotiations, Steven's information was already in my hands."

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "Director Ye is wise, if the copyright of "Millionaire" is sold for three million pounds, it will definitely be a sensational event in Hong Kong, and the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan will sell the copyright ...... alone."

Chen Baixiang sighed, how much can this be sold for, a Britain sold for 40 million, France, Germany, Italy, how to calculate it is hundreds of millions, the United States, Japan, Russia...... The speed of wealth accumulation that bank robberies can't keep up with.

Ye Tian muttered: "Three million is a lion's big mouth, the British side will definitely bargain, in fact, if it is higher than one million, we have already made a lot of money." ”

Chen Baixiang nodded slowly, once again saw Ye Tian's method of turning decay into magic, before the broadcast of "Millionaire", there was still high-level opposition, and when they learned that the broadcast rights had been bought for tens of millions, their faces must have been very exciting.

Steven didn't let Ye Tian wait, and walked in dejectedly.

"Mr. Ye, I have been authorized by the headquarters to make a price of one million...... Pound sterling, bought the rights to broadcast the Commonwealth of your variety show "Millionaire". ”

Ye Tian looked at Yu Zheng's gesture silently, and pretended to be stunned: "Commonwealth? ”

Steven showed a nervous look, this is a trap that he added alone, hoping that Ye Tian would carelessly agree, then he would have made a great contribution, Britain is a country, but the Commonwealth is a general name for dozens of countries and regions, but unfortunately, Ye Tian saw through his plan.

Chen Baixiang briefly introduced the member states of the British Commonwealth, and what made Ye Tian laugh was that even Hong Kong was included, if this document was signed, ATV would have to get authorization from the British BBC to broadcast "Millionaire" in the future.

Steven also thought about this, adding: "Hong Kong can be ruled out ......"

Ye Tian said lightly: "No, one and a half million pounds, the price is already very low, and I still have to consider the British broadcast rights!" ”

Steven couldn't help but fall into a frenzy, and his voice was extremely sharp: "Oh God, do you know, at the current exchange rate, 1.5 million Britain can be exchanged for 18 million Hong Kong dollars, isn't this enough to buy the broadcast rights in the United Kingdom?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Tian accepted calmly.

Holding his posture, Steven turned around and asked, "What did I just say?" ”

Yu Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "You said that you used 1.5 million pounds to buy out the broadcast rights of "Millionaire" in the UK. ”

"Oh God, you are all devils!" Steven was discouraged, it must have been Yu Zheng who heard the news from the phone, secretly passed it on to Ye Tian, and then dug a pit and let him jump in without hesitation, the most unacceptable thing for him was that this was an irreparable slip of the tongue. In other words, Ye Tian already knew his hole cards. (To be continued......)
