Chapter 1 Shortly Decided

Soon, everyone had another brief consultation and let the dedicated legal team repeatedly confirm some of the details in the contract. The matter was settled.

The reason it was so quick was that the other live streaming platforms were in a hurry.

Each iCL League match was one less match to be played. Buying the broadcasting rights and broadcasting one less match meant losing the popularity of one match.

Most people had no objection to Zhao Xuming's proposal of a thirty-second delay. After all, in normal live streams, delays of a few seconds or tens of seconds often occurred due to network lag and source switching.

When some streamers played ranked games, it was common to open a delay of one or two minutes to prevent being stream sniped.

For many events, the delay was completely different on live streaming platforms, television, or video software, sometimes even by one or two minutes.

Therefore, most people felt that this was just a proposal made by Zhao Xuming to "save Boss Pei's face" and would not cause any substantial damage to everyone's broadcasting rights.

Even if a small number of people felt a little uncomfortable, the other platforms had accepted it. If they didn't accept it, they might have to continue arguing, or even be attacked by the other platforms. They didn't dare to fall out with Boss Pei and cause him not to sell the iCL League broadcasting rights. So, after hesitating for a while, they still didn't speak.

No one had the courage to be the first to speak out, and besides, all the platforms that bought the iCL League broadcasting rights had the same regulations, so even if they suffered a loss, everyone would suffer together.

While the legal teams of the various live streaming platforms were discussing the details of the contract, Zhao Xuming took several vice presidents of the live streaming platforms to a nearby high-end restaurant for dinner to celebrate the success of the cooperation.

To be honest, Zhao Xuming was still quite envious.

Previously, his psychological expectation for the price of the iCL League broadcasting rights was only about thirty-two million.

But even so, most of the live streaming platforms still thought it was too expensive!

On the other hand, Boss Pei bought the exclusive broadcasting rights for thirty-five million. In just two weeks, this money had almost doubled just from distribution!

According to the amount on the final contract, Rabbit Tail Live distributed the iCL League broadcasting rights to the other five live streaming platforms this time, and the cash income obtained was 48 million. In addition to other miscellaneous items, such as the broadcasting rights of other events and streamer contracts, the total value was almost close to 65 million!

Of course, this price was a bit inflated. After all, the prices of the broadcasting rights of other events were relatively high, and these streamer contracts were basically streamer contracts that other live streaming platforms didn't want, so the real value would be discounted.

But no matter what, a price of about 13 million was a huge profit!

Strictly speaking, Boss Pei and Chen Yufeng didn't really raise the price much.

It was just that Boss Pei's reputation was well-known. Everyone knew that Boss Pei would never suffer a loss. The vice presidents of the various live streaming platforms didn't dare to fool him, so even though Boss Pei didn't raise the price, the price still reached a relatively high level.

Spending 35 million to buy exclusive broadcasting rights, and now distributing them to other platforms, the total value of all income added together was close to 65 million…

Without much effort in two weeks, he earned 30 million.

Zhao Xuming wished he could have earned this 30 million himself!

But there was no way, the fact was that when he was promoting the iCL League, the other live streaming platforms ignored him, but when Boss Pei said he wanted to distribute the iCL League broadcasting rights, the other live streaming platforms immediately flocked to him!

He couldn't help but admire him.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Boss Pei's "middleman" behavior could be said to have helped Zhao Xuming twice.

When the iCL League broadcasting rights were being suppressed and were about to be unsellable, he generously bought the exclusive broadcasting rights, giving Zhao Xuming a boost; now he was distributing the broadcasting rights, allowing multiple platforms to live stream the iCL League, which could better increase the popularity of the event, giving Zhao Xuming another boost.

So, even though Zhao Xuming was envious, he was also very clear in his heart that without Boss Pei's middleman behavior, the current situation of the iCL League might not be as good as it was now.

Therefore, he only felt envious in his heart and didn't show it. He still had to treat everyone to dinner.

For the vice presidents of the other platforms, although the price was a bit high, they still obtained the iCL League broadcasting rights and shared the popularity in this situation where they had almost given up hope, so it was not bad.

…

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, everyone happily dispersed.

Zhao Xuming arranged for his subordinates to send these vice presidents back to the hotel to rest. Today, the distribution of the iCL broadcasting rights had finally come to an end.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and the vice presidents took the iCL League broadcasting rights and happily went back to report.

As long as they hurried up and prepared for a day or two, prepared the relevant recommendation slots and promotional materials, and then connected to the live stream signal from Longyu Corporation, they could officially start broadcasting and earn popularity.

Everyone was eager to start their own iCL League broadcasts, so they didn't stay long.

Soon, only Zhao Xuming and Zhu Yan, the vice president of Wolf Fang Live, were left in the hotel lobby.

"President Zhao, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhu Yan had been toasting and drinking a lot at the dinner table before. Many people thought he was drunk, but now he didn't seem drunk at all, and his eyes were very clear.

Zhao Xuming was stunned for a moment: "Oh? President Zhu, please speak."

Zhu Yan said: "For the iCL League, can we also open up the background data interface to create a real-time data function similar to Rabbit Tail Live's gpL League?"

"Rabbit Tail Live's real-time data is indeed very useful. Many viewing groups have gone to Rabbit Tail Live because of this data."

"We probably can't get the gpL's background data, but President Zhao should be able to provide the iCL's data, right?"

"In this way, it can also better increase the popularity of the iCL League."

Zhao Xuming nodded: "Sure, of course, no problem!"

In fact, he had wanted to copy it for a long time.

This real-time data function could be used as an auxiliary tool to allow the audience to more clearly judge the situation on the field and the performance of the players. It had already been proven to be very useful.

This thing had no patent protection, of course, he had to copy it!

At that time, he would also make a similar mini-program and then arrange it for all the other live streaming platforms, which would definitely help promote the iCL League.

Zhu Yan was very happy: "Then thank you, President Zhao! I'll go back and prepare for the iCL League live stream now. If there are any problems, let's communicate at any time!"

After seeing Zhu Yan off, Zhao Xuming also returned to his office to rest for a while, and then immediately arranged for someone to develop this real-time data function.

…

…

March 14th, Wednesday morning.

Yesterday, Chen Yufeng finalized the details of the contract with other live streaming platforms at the Longyu Corporation headquarters and distributed the broadcasting rights of this iCL League. After resting for one night, he rushed back to Jingzhou to report the good news to Boss Pei.

This distribution of broadcasting rights could be said to be very fruitful. Boss Pei should be satisfied, right?

Chen Yufeng came to Rabbit Tail Live's conference room. Boss Pei and President Ma were already there.

"Boss Pei! This is the iCL broadcasting rights distribution contract that we finalized with the other live streaming platforms. Please take a look."

Chen Yufeng proudly handed a stack of contracts to Boss Pei.

Pei Qian reached out and took it, flipping through it casually.

All kinds of complicated details made him feel a little dizzy, but he could still clearly see the numbers on the contracts.

12 million, 10 million, 11 million, 8 million, 7 million!

Although the last two platforms gave less money, they gave other things as attachments. One was an attachment of the broadcasting rights of a certain exclusive event, and the other was an attachment of a three-year contract for a big streamer.

Pei Qian added these numbers together and quickly calculated them in his head. The whole person instantly became quiet.

Damn it, he could actually sell so much money!

Previously, Pei Qian thought that the exclusive broadcasting rights were bought for 35 million, and there was a certain premium. If he sold them out, he would earn at most three or four million, right?

He never expected that he would earn 13 million in cash alone, and even more with these miscellaneous things!

The broadcasting rights of other events, the streamer's contract, etc., these things may seem useless, but after all, Rabbit Tail Live has only just been launched recently, and there is a lack of various content.

Putting these contents in can fill the content gap in many partitions.

The previous Rabbit Tail Live was just a viewing player for gpL and iCL League for many people, but now the content is much richer, and it looks more like a serious live streaming platform!

Pei Qian was silent.

He just wanted Chen Yufeng to ask for less money, but not only did he not ask for less money, but he also took a lot of other things!

What's going on!

Chen Yufeng gave a thumbs up: "Boss Pei, now I understand why you want to distribute the iCL League. This step is really too brilliant!"

"We bought the exclusive broadcasting rights of the iCL League, which is equivalent to not spending a penny. We only paid for some recommendation resources on the platform and earned back the iCL broadcasting rights, 13 million, and a lot of live content on the platform!"

"Although the iCL League seems to have good popularity at the moment, it is a bit difficult for us to eat it all by ourselves, and we cannot be sure that the iCL League will definitely be popular in the future. It is wise to sell it at a high price now!"

Pei Qian looked up at Chen Yufeng, so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes.

Why didn't you say these words earlier!

If you had said this earlier, I might not have sold it!

Can't you have a little bit of your own thoughts?

Pei Qian found that his subordinates were all hindsight masters. Every time the money was earned, they would analyze and come to the conclusion that "Boss Pei is wise." What were they doing before?

If you could have analyzed it earlier, would Boss Pei have been so "wise" so many times!

Pei Qian felt very tired.

And Ma Yang was still flipping through these contracts, trying to check the details in the contracts. His long face was full of serious expressions. People who didn't know would have thought he could really understand them.

"Huh, Brother Qian, what does this mean? Rabbit Tail Live will broadcast the iCL League 30 seconds faster than other platforms?"

Chen Yufeng quickly explained: "Oh, this was proposed by President Zhao. He was afraid that we would suffer a loss, so he added a little extra."

Pei Qian: "…"

Damn it, he was afraid that we would suffer a loss!

Have you ever seen a way to suffer a loss by buying an exclusive broadcasting rights and almost doubling the profits in two weeks? Did President Zhao suffer too many blows before, and his brain doesn't work well anymore?

30 seconds faster than other live streaming platforms…

Pei Qian vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that this regulation would cause trouble.

But the contract had been signed, more than ten million in cash had been earned, and the broadcasting rights and streamer contracts had all been transferred…

Compared with these things, a mere 30 seconds seemed unable to stir up more waves in Pei Qian's heart.

The problem that Pei Qian was worried about now was that he had spent 35 million to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of the iCL League for Rabbit Tail Live, and now not only had it all come back, but he had also earned an extra 13 million!

He should think about how to spend this money…
