A perfect 1998 ended with a hearty victory that put everyone in Fiorentina in a good mood for the rest of the Christmas.

After spending a quiet and warm Christmas with Karin and Little Groz (the specific details are not mentioned here), Zhuang Mingge, who returned to work, began to get busy again and devoted himself to intense work.

This time, however, Zhuang Mingge did not have to deal with the internal affairs of Fiorentina FC, but as a representative of the Serie A club and a special guest of the Italian Football Federation, he attended a meeting after Christmas on the distribution of broadcast rights in Serie A for the next three years. Of course, this meeting can also be called the second Serie A broadcasting rights bidding conference.

Since in the summer of 1996, the media groups signed a three-year Serie A television contract with the Italian Football Federation, so when this season's Serie A is over, the previous broadcast contract will come to an end. Therefore, in order to allow more TV stations that are interested in participating in the new issue of Serie A broadcasting rights to participate in this bidding conference in the case of preparation, the Italian Football Association announced the relevant information on the bidding for broadcasting rights as early as half a year ago, so as not to have a temporary situation like 96 years.

When Zhuang Mingge arrived at the headquarters of the Italian Football Federation in Rome, he was surprised to find that the number of TV station representatives in this conference hall was much larger than he had originally imagined!

"Karin, isn't this our tender for the next three years for the rights of Serie A, how did I see the representatives of ESPN in the United States and CANAL+ in France?" Zhuang Mingge was a little puzzled by the presence of a large number of representatives of non-Italian media companies in the venue, and hurriedly asked Karin who was standing beside him for help.

"Don't forget, Tony, that in the last two and a half seasons, the Italian team, led by Fiorentina, has performed very well in all competitions, and the three major European cups have almost completely become the backyard of the Serie A teams. Moreover, with the large amount of broadcast fees flowing into the pockets of Serie A clubs in recent years, a large number of middle and lower reaches of the team have spare time to introduce stars in the case of the domestic economic downturn, so the attraction of Serie A to fans can be said to be the top in Europe. The only thing that can surpass us is the UEFA Champions Cup. Looking at Zhuang Mingge with a surprised expression in front of her, Karin knew that it must be that the other party did not prepare before coming here, and she immediately explained, "The more fans who pay attention to Serie A, it means that Serie A has greater market potential, and naturally more people want to participate in it." I heard the news that Sky, which had been heavily indebted due to poor market development, achieved its goal of turning a profit in just one year after obtaining the broadcasting rights of the two major leagues, Serie A and the English Premier League. ”

"So, with the success of Sky TV first, other TV stations also want to come over and make a lot of money this time?" After listening to Karin's narration, Zhuang Mingge just smiled and said a word, without letting Karin answer this question. After all, this is not Florence, there are many people, and the ghost knows that when his words come out, he will bring some trouble to him, Karin, and even Florence.

To be honest, Zhuang Mingge doesn't think that any TV station can have the financial resources to compete with Sky TV, which is controlled by media tycoon Murdoch. If it weren't for the fear of the EU's monopoly accusations, and the fact that these local snakes in Europe would unite against themselves, it is estimated that except for Sky TV, other TV stations in these four bids would not be able to get involved at all.

"Hehe, Chairman Corleone, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Zhuang Mingge had just sat down in the position marked with his name, and the voice that sounded very cunning and treacherous, and which was also the last thing Zhuang Mingge wanted to hear, came into his ears, "I was still feeling sorry for your absence from this grand event just now, and now it seems that I am too careful." ”

"I say, Manager Moji." Looking at the old fox Mo in front of him, Zhuang Mingge said with a smile, "I remember that the representative of Juventus should be Mr. Girawudo, right?" Why are you here? ”

"Haha, because I'm here this time as Mr. Gira'udo's assistant. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come here without an official invitation. Mo Ji still looked smiling, but that expression looked like he wanted to be a yin person, "I didn't expect there to be a lot of people here, it's much more lively than I imagined." ”

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly." Zhuang Mingge, who had no good impression of Mo Lao Fox, unceremoniously interrupted Mo Ji's words and said, "Although there is nothing good every time you come forward to find me, it seems that it will not be possible for you to say nothing, so let's talk about it first." ”

"Ahh By the way, I almost forgot. Hearing Zhuang Mingge's question, Mo Ji suddenly realized and said, "Chairman Corleone, I have come to visit you this time mainly for two things, and I want to discuss and discuss with you before the conference starts. ”

Then, without waiting for Zhuang Mingge to ask, Mo Ji took the initiative to speak: "This first thing, although I think that with your wisdom Chairman Corleone, you should have guessed what I was going to say. However, in order to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, I think it is better to communicate with you in person. ”

"Oh?" Zhuang Mingge didn't expect that Mo Lao Fox would be so straightforward to show his intentions, and said in his heart that this person was really a guy who had nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and said, "What, Manager Moji, you shouldn't be one of the players in our Fiorentina team again, right?" In the summer, you used a high salary and a main position to take Davis, a midfielder, away, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. ”

Zhuang Mingge's original intention in saying this was to use Davis's incident half a year ago to make Moggie worry that it would damage the relationship between the Corleone family and the Agnelli family, so that he would not dare to talk to him about buying Fiorentina players again. However, Zhuang Mingge obviously underestimated the thickness of Mo Lao Fox's skin.

"Haha, Chairman Corleone, you've really wronged me." Mo Lao Fox openly shouted in front of Zhuang Mingge and said, "Davis is not something I took the initiative to recruit, you must know that there were not a few teams that wanted to introduce him at that time, I remember that Real Madrid and Barcelona both extended olive branches to Davies." I think the reason why we chose us in the end was because of my love for Juventus, and I didn't have anything to do with it. ”

"Huh." Zhuang Mingge didn't bother to argue with Moggie's sophistry, and it was too cheap to argue with other team managers in public as the president of Fiorentina.
