Although the Italian Football Federation was quite dissatisfied with the proposal submitted by the professional league, believing that it was a disguised seizure of the matter that should have been handled by the professional league, it could only reluctantly approve the proposal, after all, there are some behind these clubs that they simply cannot afford to provoke and do not want to provoke.

By the way, except for the football associations of some countries, the football associations of most countries are non-governmental organizations and do not belong to government civil servants, so there is no such thing as people not fighting with officials. [Because they are all people]

After getting the approval of the Football Association, the professional league immediately released the public bidding to the outside world through the major sports newspapers in Italy, and the release of this news immediately attracted the attention of countless interested people.

Among them, there is the News Corp. that Zhuang Mingge wants to see the most.

"Hey, Father, come and see this news!" A young man in his early twenties rushed into his father's study, clutching a copy of the Milan sports newspaper in his hand, and shouted excitedly.

"James, how many times have I told you, be calm in trouble, don't always babble, it will seem that our Murdoch family is an upstart without depth." Rupert Murdoch, who was sitting in his study, did not feel any emotional fluctuations because of his son's shouting, and he asked his son to remain calm.

"Father! Take a look at this newspaper, it's a great opportunity for News Corp to expand into the European continent! The emotionally charged little Murdoch apparently ignored his father's words at the moment, and still said with his hands and dances on the sidelines.

"Ugh." Rupert Murdoch, who is already sixty-five, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this, and said that this son had indeed inherited his keen sense of smell in the business field, but he could not have achieved the realm of joy and anger, otherwise he would have handed over part of News Corp's business to Murdoch Jr.

"Father, you take a look at this report, which says that the Serie A professional league is very dissatisfied with the broadcast contract provided by Mediasette, believing that it is a serious underestimation of the brand value of the league, and after research, it has been decided that the professional league will ask the Italian Football Federation to sell the TV broadcast contract of Serie A for the next three seasons in the form of a public tender! At present, the Italian Football Federation has approved the application of the professional league. James Murdoch read the report briefly, then looked at his father with an excited look on his face and said, "Father, haven't you always wanted to enter the European media world through football?" Serie A is much more famous than the Premier League, and Italian teams have better results in Europe and have more spectators. If we can use this opportunity to win Serie A now, it will not only open a big gap in the encirclement that has been holding us back from entering the European companies, but also reduce the risk of putting only our eggs in the Premier League. ”

"Wait, don't rush, James." The elder Murdoch raised a hand, interrupted his son's rambling, and began to recount his thoughts, "The broadcast rights of Serie A are indeed a sweet treat, but have you ever thought about how much broadcast fees should be paid if we want to compete for the broadcast rights of Serie A?" ”

Hearing the elder Murdoch say this, James Murdoch immediately realized that this was his father who had agreed with his idea of entering the Serie A league in disguise. At the same time, in response to the questions raised by the elder Murdoch, little Murdoch began to use his brain at a rapid pace.

Due to the existence of EU antitrust law, the broadcast of Serie A in the new season will be divided into four bids for bidding separately.

Lot A is the match played on Sunday afternoon, and the time of this bid is also the traditional time of Serie A, with six of the nine matches in each round, except for one round in the league. Due to the largest number of total performances and the fact that the broadcast time is within the traditional prime time of the Italians, the price of the TV rights for this lot is the highest.

Bid B, for the game on Sunday night, although there is only one game in each round, but often this game is the Football Association in the arrangement of the schedule from the round of the league carefully selected "highlight", the potential highlights of the game are very much, enough to ensure that the game can attract enough spectators, so the ratings must not be low, so the value of this bid is also generally optimistic.

There are a total of 4 rounds of 36 matches in Lot C, and the peculiarity of this section is that all the matches are scheduled in the middle of the week when there are two races. Although the total number of matches exceeded that of the second lot, due to the limitation of the competition time, the valuation of this bid was not as good as that of the B lot.

As for the D lot, it is the most despised, although there are two matches in each round that are scheduled in this bid (except for the first round of the league zuihou), but its game time is set for Saturday for the first time, and it is generally determined that the game on Saturday is just a game to stir up the atmosphere of the game on Sunday, which is the so-called cushion match, so the value of this bid is the least seen of the four bids.

Thinking of this, little Murdoch made up his mind and said:

"Considering the value of these four bids, as well as the EU's antitrust law, I think that we News Corp. should focus on the most important bid A and bid B as the highlight of the league, and if we can only choose one of the C and D bids, I think we should focus on the least popular Hao deD bid."

"Oh? Bid A and bid B, as the two bids with the most broadcasts and the most highlights, should be won as a matter of course, but between bid C and bid D, you weishenme chose the least watched haodeD bid? When old Murdoch heard his son say this, his heart was a little happy, but his face was still impassive, "Judge, is there any reason for this choice?" ”

"Because the three major European Cups are usually played in midweek, and UEFA rules stipulate that there must be at least 72 hours between two consecutive matches, I guess that the teams that play in the so-called cushion match on Saturday are likely to have these teams." Murdoch Jr. replied methodically, "The uncertainty of the C section being moved to the midweek game is higher than that of the D section, because the strong team's weekly doubles are generally midweek European games and weekend leagues, so if it is placed in the midweek game, its team is not as attractive to fans as the D section." ”

"It makes sense, so let's do it, you are solely responsible for the next Serie A bidding, but remember to report the progress to me at any time." Seeing that his son was not easily disturbed by the information coming from the outside world, the elder Murdoch nodded approvingly and gave James Murdoch a new task.

"Haode, Father!" Little Murdoch was in high spirits when he heard this, and he finally got a chance to show his talents!
