While Yang Huan was enjoying the unprecedented touching experience in her villa, far away in London, the Sun's gold medal columnist Steven Howard opened the door to his house.
He had just returned from dinner with an executive from the Premier League, and now he was tired and exhausted.
He sat down on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.
After a while, he closed his eyes.
He didn't know how long it took before the ringing of his cell phone woke him up.
"Hey" Steven Howard was a little helpless.
The caller ID was Rebekah Wade, editor-in-chief of The Sun, his immediate boss.
"Steven, have you heard any news?"
the editor-in-chief on the phone asked right away.
Steven Howard's inner murmur.
You don’t care if I’m tired or not, and you don’t care what time it is.
You only care about tomorrow’s news.
Do you have any humanity at all?
However, he had to keep these words in his heart.
The Sun is like this, with a lot of pressure, but also great influence.
The employees' salaries are pretty good, especially for gold medal columnists like Steven Howard, whose income and influence are unmatched by other newspaper columnists.
"I've heard about it, but there's not much valuable information.
I heard that the negotiations have reached a stalemate."
"Why?"
Rebekah Wade was a little surprised.
Steven Howard held the phone to his ear with one hand and pinched his frown with the other.
"It's mainly about Southampton."
This team is really a hot potato, but it is a hot potato that everyone wants to compete for.
"Sky TV hopes to give Southampton the same treatment as the top four teams and broadcast more Saints games, even at the expense of reducing the number of live games for teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City."
"But the Premier League's idea is to increase the number of live broadcasts in Southampton and reorganize the seven broadcast packages without reducing the number of broadcasts for several powerful teams in the Premier League."
Anyone who is not familiar with the inside story, even a senior fan, will be confused after hearing what Steven Howard said, and will not understand how much fishery there is.
Rebekah Wade understood it clearly.
Once the number of live broadcasts increases, the number of live broadcasts in each of the seven broadcast packages also increases.
In other words, broadcasters need to pay more to bid for these broadcast packages.
Sky TV is undoubtedly the Premier League's most dependent broadcaster.
This TV organization is almost the most important source of Premier League broadcast rights income.
However, in the UK, Sky TV's dependence on Premier League broadcast rights is also very high.
In recent years, more and more TV organizations have begun to consciously challenge Sky TV's leading position in UK pay TV.
The most powerful weapon is the Premier League broadcast rights.
This year, I heard that British Telecom intends to intervene.
This will inevitably lead to a struggle among the three major television organizations, esn, British Telecom and Sky TV.
In the end, the one with the highest price will win.
If under this circumstance, the number of live broadcasts of the Premier League is increased, the broadcasting costs for TV organizations will be higher.
In other words, the Premier League broadcast rights are likely to hit another sky-high price "In the evaluation of the Premier League and Sky TV, Southampton's appeal in the UK is not inferior to that of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, especially as this team has greatly contributed to the UK's success in the Europa League this season.
The move of promoting football has won the favor of countless local fans.”
"As for high-quality resources, the three TV stations are all fighting for it, and the Premier League is also striving to maximize benefits.
Therefore, the negotiations are now a bit deadlocked, but" Steven Howard was so stunned that Rebekah Wade immediately became a little anxious.
"Nothing" "However, judging from the current situation, regardless of whether the number of games is increased or not, the broadcast price of a single game will definitely exceed 6.5 million pounds." £6.5 million Rebekah Wade calculated that even if the number of live broadcasts was not increased, the broadcast rights in those three years would have exceeded 3 billion pounds.
This is double the price of the previous broadcast rights contract.
And it can be seen that the Premier League now has the initiative.

If it does not increase the number of games, it can, but the single-game broadcast fee must be increased.
If you don’t want to raise too much in broadcast fees for a single game, that’s fine.
Then increase the number of broadcasts.
“Southampton is really in trouble.”
When Manchester City rose before, it did not cause such trouble.
But Southampton is obviously different from Manchester City.
The Saints have more market appeal and influence.
Thinking of this, Rebekah Wade also understood that there would be no way for this piece of news to make the front page tomorrow.
Fortunately, he was prepared for everything.
"Steven, you're going to get on top of this good guy now."
"What are you doing?"
Steven Howard was a little surprised.
It's so late, I'm tired, I want to go to bed, what are you doing here?
"Your old friend Charlene Lahiri's self-media talk show was released off-site."
"Really?"
He was very busy today.
"I watched that program and the response was very good, especially some of Yang Huan's words in it, which not only rectified the name of countless new fans, but also challenged some old fans' understanding of football.
It was very interesting."
Steven Howard's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon.
He seemed to have heard the subtext of the editor-in-chief.
"Are you planning to use this as the headline tomorrow?"
Rebekah Wade laughed helplessly, "I can't help it, there is no big news today, this is the only way."
Sure enough, after laughing, Rebekah Wade said again: "Go and take a look.
I'll catch up tonight and publish a review."
Before Steven Howard could say anything more, Rebekah Wade said, that's it, and hung up the phone.
"That's it" Steven Howard almost cried.
What time is this?
It's midnight and I'm still asked to finish the manuscript Are you a human being?
Do you have humanity?
But the editor-in-chief task was pressed down, and he couldn't do it.
I could only take out my laptop with resentment, open it, and log in to YouTuBie directly.
Charlene Lahiri's off-site is recommended on the home page of YoutuBie, click to enter.
“Wow, the reviews are rave reviews” Looking at the comments under YoutuBie’s video, most of them are positive comments and words of praise.
There were occasional criticisms mixed in, but they were quickly swallowed up by the praise.
How long has it been?
The click rate has reached one million Steven Howard was stunned.
It turns out that self-media is so popular these days.
"I'm not a fan of Yang Huan.
Even in the past, I always felt that he didn't understand football."
"At the very least, he doesn't have a deep understanding of professional football."
"It is undeniable that he is a very, very talented person.
He has done many, many things and achieved very high achievements, but in the field of football management, I have always felt that he is not successful."
"In the past, I have heard many of his remarks, including some sensational remarks such as offering free football tickets, but in my eyes, they are more of an endless rhetoric without shocking words. possible."
"However, after watching this interview show between him and Charlene Lahiri, I completely overturned all my previous impressions of Yang Huan.
I found that he may not have a deep understanding of professional football."

"However, he is sharp and forward-looking, leading us to clarify the current context of football and allowing us to understand the development trend of professional football in the future."
"This reminds me of something.
He is only twenty-two years old, a complete young man."
"In the interview, he seemed to represent the young fans in their twenties and voice their voices."
"Football is a sport, and this sport belongs to the fans, both old fans and new fans.
But in the final analysis, its future belongs to the new fans, including those fake fans who are always looked down upon by the old fans."
"He is also protesting.
It's not just that you come to the venue to watch the game.
You can only be called a fan if you sit in front of the TV and radio to watch and listen to the game."
"As long as you like football, as long as you have stars and teams that you like and follow, even if you never go to the scene to watch the game or watch the game broadcast, you are considered a qualified fan."
"His words make me feel that he is subverting our past impression of fans."
"He is also revolutionizing our understanding of the sport of professional football."
"After watching this talk show, I felt a lot, and my originally tired spirit became very excited."
"I'm thinking, maybe, it's not that he doesn't understand football, or that he doesn't do his job properly."
"Rather, he thought too far ahead and went too far."
"But no matter what, from now on, I will start to pay attention to Southampton and Yang Huan."
When Yang Huan was sitting in the office at the Staplewood training base, crossing his legs and reading this morning's Sun News, the mood that was so good because of last night's hearty enjoyment suddenly changed.
Better.
With a smile on his face, he saw the reporter's signature below the newspaper's comments.
"Steven Howard" Yang Huan remembered that this reporter, a friend of Charlene Lahiri, had been included in the list of Charlene Lahiri's self-media guests.
Charlene Lahiri's self-media has recorded five episodes so far, and the first episode was released yesterday, and the response was very enthusiastic.
As of this morning, the click rate has exceeded 3 million, and it is expected to reach 5 million within 24 hours.
This is quite difficult for a self-media program.
Yang Huan took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, found Charlene Lahiri, quickly tapped the screen with her finger, and sent a message.
"Ms.
Lahiri, the show is popular.
When will the conditions you promised be fulfilled?"
When I think of those beautiful conditions, my heart warms up.
Soon, the other party responded with a blushing and adorable expression, followed by a sentence.
"Can you stay up all night now?"
Yang Huan curled his lips, chuckled, and replied, "It doesn't matter for a few days or nights, tell me when."
"at any time" Wow, that sounds pretty loud.
Yang Huan thought of Charlene Lahiri's provocative look, and felt a little excited in her heart.
"Then let's do it now" "Now" Soon, another one came.
"I'm at work" Yang Huan immediately sent a triumphant expression, "Then you said you could do it anytime?"
She quickly responded with a look of anger and wanting to stab him.
"Now now" "Your home or mine?"
Yang Huan immediately asked with a smile.
The other party was obviously hesitant, and it took about ten seconds before he replied, "If you have the ability, come to my house."
"Who is afraid of whom?
The turtle is afraid of the hammer."
After saying that, Yang Huan turned off the phone and looked at Long Wu, who was busy playing mobile games, and felt a little worried.
"Lao Wu, give me the car keys.
You stay here.
I'll be back soon."

The less people know about stealing jade and fragrance, the better.
"Master, where are you going?"
Long Wu immediately turned off his phone and stood up.
Didn’t you say that we should wait for Bielsa to finish his morning training session to have a good talk about the transfer?
Why are you leaving all of a sudden?
This kid looks so loyal, and he will follow him to the death no matter what lies ahead.
Yang Huan smiled bitterly.
Sometimes being too loyal is not necessarily a good thing "It's okay, I'm just going for a walk.
Just wait for me here."
"Oh" Long Wu could only agree.
I felt strange in my heart.
Wherever the young master usually went, he would always be followed by him.
Why did he have to act alone now?
Could it be Under Long Wu's ambiguous and playful eyes, Yang Huan took the car keys and turned around to leave.
It feels so depressing in my heart.
I am such a serious person, why do I always get misunderstood?
Is it possible that the word "pervert" is written on my face?
It seems that the main reason is that I am too honest and don't know how to pretend.
But he didn't see something happen on the training ground downstairs:
