PS: I would like to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

The perfect 1998 ended with a hearty victory, allowing everyone in Florence to spend the next Christmas in a good mood.

After spending a quiet and warm Christmas with Karin and Groz (the specific details are to avoid the book being missed here), Zhuang Mingge, who returned to work, began to get busy again and devoted himself to the stressful work.

However, this time, what Zhuang Mingge needs to deal with is not the internal affairs of the Florence club, but the meeting held after Christmas on the distribution of broadcast rights of the Serie A League in the next three years as a representative of the Serie A club and a special guest from the Italian Football Association. Of course, this meeting can also be called the second Serie A broadcast rights bidding conference.

Since in the summer of 1996, media groups and the Italian Football Association signed three-year Serie A TV broadcast contracts, the previous broadcast contract will be announced after the end of the Serie A season. Therefore, in order to allow more TV stations willing to participate in the new Serie A broadcast rights to participate in this bidding conference with preparation, the Italian Football Association announced the relevant information on the bidding rights to the public half a year ago, so as not to see the situation like in 1996 that they would cram for the moment.

When Zhuang Mingge arrived at the Italian Football Association headquarters in Rome, he was surprised to find that the number of TV stations in this conference hall was much more representative than he had originally imagined!

"Carin, isn't this a bidding meeting for our Serie A broadcasting rights in the next three years? How did I see representatives of company from the United States ESPN and France CANAL+?" Zhuang Mingge was a little confused about the appearance of a large number of representatives of non-Italian media companies in the venue, and quickly asked Karin, who was standing beside him for help.

"Tony, don't forget that in the past two and a half seasons, the Italian team led by Florence has performed very well in various competitions, and the three European Cups have almost completely become the back garden of Serie A teams. Moreover, with the large amount of broadcasting fees in recent years, it has allowed a large number of mid- and lower-stream teams to gain extra energy to attract stars in the face of the domestic economic downturn. Therefore, the attractiveness of the Serie A to fans can be said to be the top in Europe. The only thing that can surpass us is UEFA's Champions League."

Zhuang Mingge with a surprised expression, Karin knew that the other party must have not prepared before coming here. She was already used to this situation and immediately explained, "The more fans paying attention to A, the greater the market potential of Serie A, and naturally more people will want to participate in the market. I heard a piece of news before that Sky TV, which was originally in debt due to unfavorable market development, achieved the goal of turning losses into profits in just one year after obtaining the broadcast rights of the two major leagues of Serie A and Premier League."

"So, with the successful case of Sky TV, first, and other TV stations also want to come and make a fortune this time?" After hearing Karin's narration, Zhuang Mingge just smiled and said without asking Karin to answer this question. After all, this is not Florence. There are so many people and people know that as soon as he says his words, he will bring him, Karin, and even Florence.

To be honest, Zhuang Mingge doesn't think any TV station can have the financial resources to compete with Sky TV, controlled by media tycoon Murdoch. If it weren't for the concern that the EU had monopoly accusations against it and the local local snakes in Europe joined forces to fight against him, it would probably be impossible for other TV stations to bid for these four sections except Sky TV.

"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you finally came. I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Zhuang Mingge just sat down at a position marked with his name. One sounded very cunning and treacherous, and it was also Zhuang Mingge's least willing to hear the sound that he heard. "I just felt sorry for you for absent this event. Now it seems that I am too concerned."

"I said, Manager Moji." Looking at the old fox in front of me, Zhuang Mingge said with a slight smile, "I remember that the representative of Juventus should be Mr. Gillaudo? Why did you appear here?"

"Haha, because this time I came here as Mr. Gilaudo's assistant. Otherwise, I would not have been able to come here without the formal invitation." Moji still looked smiling, but his expression looked like he wanted to be a slutty person no matter how he looked. "I didn't expect there were so many people here, much more lively than I thought."

"Speak quickly if you have anything to say." Zhuang Mingge, who had no good feelings for the old fox of Mo, interrupted Mo Ji without hesitation and said, "Although there is nothing good every time you come to see me, it doesn't seem to be possible to make you say nothing, so let's talk about it first."

"Ah! By the way, I almost forgot." After hearing Zhuang Mingge's question, Moji suddenly realized and said, "Chairman Corleon, I came to visit you this time. There are two main things. I want to discuss and discuss with you before the conference begins."

Then, without waiting for Zhuang Mingge to ask questions, Moji took the initiative to speak: "This is the first thing, although I think Chairman Corleone's wisdom, you should have guessed what I want to say. However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I think it would be better to communicate with you in person."

"Oh?" Zhuang Mingge didn't expect that the old fox would express his purpose so directly. He thought that this person was indeed a guy who would not enter the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and said, "Why, Manager Moji, you must have fallen in love with one of our Fiorentina players again? In the summer, you used a high salary and main position to leave Davis, the midfielder, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Zhuang Mingge's original intention of saying this was to use the incident of Davis half a year ago to make Moji worry that it would destroy the relationship between the Corleone family and the Agnelli family, so he did not dare to mention the purchase of Fiorentine players to himself. However, Zhuang Mingge obviously underestimated the thickness of the old fox's face.

"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you really wronged me." Old Fox Mo openly shouted in front of Zhuang Mingge and said, "Davis was not my own initiative to recruit him. You must know that there were many teams that wanted to introduce him at that time. I remember that Real Madrid and Barcelona both extended olive branches to Davis. The reason for choosing us in the end was that I think this should be due to my love for Juventus, and I have no relationship with me."
