A few people began negotiations at Tang Long's home in Manchester.
The next day, accompanied by Delta, Wang Wen and Li Ning set off for the Sky Sports headquarters in London.
With Dilata's connections, they bypassed intermediaries and went straight to the director of Sky Sports.
As the saying goes, King Yama is easy to meet, but the little devils are troublesome!
After a round of competition among several senior executives, both sides earned a satisfactory result.
CCTV's broadcast rights for the Champions League, originally priced at the exorbitant $500 million, were significantly reduced to $150 million, with the contract term still set at three years.
This price falls within a reasonable range, similar to other Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea.
And 90% of this cost is shouldered by the Li Ning Group!
Yet the Li Ning Group also made a demand to CCTV.
When there are multiple games being broadcast simultaneously, they requested that Manchester City's games be prioritized for broadcast.
Upon hearing this request, Wang Wen couldn't help but laugh and clap his hands.
"Hearing this request, Wang Wen couldn't help but laugh and clap his hands, excitedly saying, 'President Li, you can be assured! Even if you didn't mention it, that's what I had in mind! Tang Long plays for Manchester City, so the interest in Manchester City's games is certainly high, and prioritizing their broadcast is inevitable!'"
Once the news of the broadcast rights negotiation was officially announced, it struck like a lightning bolt across a calm night sky, inciting an unprecedented storm in the commercial and sports realms.
