Chapter 50 Broadcast Fee Sharing Scheme

The two middle-aged people were smoking cigars, and the conference room was filled with smoke. Lin Fenglei didn't like this environment. He frowned imperceptiblely, but immediately relaxed again.

Seeing Hustler and Lin Fenglei coming in, the two middle-aged men stood up together.

Hussler introduced to Lin Fenglei: "This is Mr. Canepa, the president of the Zurich Club, and this is Mr. Meyer, the chairman of the youth team." Then he turned to the two middle-aged people and said, "This is Mr. Lin Fenglei."

The middle-aged man with Liangping is Meyer, who is slightly taller, and the other is Canepa. In fact, Lin Fenglei also knows them, but Lin Fenglei is more of leading the team in the game, so he doesn't play much with them. They said to Lin Fenglei, "Mr. Lin is really young and famous. We have been famous for a long time. I would also like to congratulate Mr. Lin on winning the Triple Crown this year.

Lin Fenglei quickly thanked him. After the cold noise between the two sides, Husler asked the three to sit down. Lin Fenglei asked with a smile, "Are you two here so early today? It seems that it has been made an appointment for a long time. Lin Fenglei secretly said in his heart that several giants of the Swiss Super League have appeared here. It seems that this matter is not simple.

After the other three looked at each other, it was still Husler who opened their mouths. After listening to him, Lin Fenglei knew it in his heart. It seemed that they were looking for themselves to be similar to their expectations.

The previous broadcasting rights of the Swiss Super League have been sold to Swiss National Sports One as a whole. Due to the lack of influence, the price is not high, with only more than 10 million euros a year. The previous distribution plan was that each of the ten teams in the Super League will be allocated 1 million euros, which will be arranged at the end of the season. There is a bonus, there is not much bonus, and there is not much gap between the champion and the relegated team. In the past, because there was only a little money in total, it was not very interesting to divide it into grades, so these strong teams had no objection to this distribution plan.

However, this season is different. Due to the sudden rise of Gosho, it has won the Triple Crown for two consecutive years, and even the attention of the Swiss Super League has also increased, so the price of Swiss National Sports 1 has also increased significantly. They have proposed a price of 100 million euros for two years. For this price, the Swiss Professional Football League I'm still very satisfied, but with more money, these strong teams have different ideas and want to change the distribution plan.

According to the previous distribution plan, each of the ten teams in the Swiss Super League can get more than 4 million euros first, and then get a bonus according to the ranking at the end of the season. In this way, the income difference between each team in the broadcasting fee will not be too big. However, several strong teams use the reason that their own teams have more broadcasts. A new distribution plan is proposed, that is, more income is based on the ranking and number of broadcasts. According to this distribution plan, the champion will receive about 10 million euros per year, and the runner-up will be nearly 8 million euros, while the relegation team will only have about 2 million euros.

Of course, this plan is beneficial to several strong teams, and several weak teams will certainly not agree. This afternoon is the day when the broadcasting rights will be divided into an agreement to vote. Several strong teams want to connect in series first, and then they will get the majority of the vote. Each of the ten clubs has one vote, and the rotating chairman Hussler has two votes. They already have four votes. If two more people are pulled, they can get a majority. Therefore, they made an appointment with Lin Fenglei. This plan is the most beneficial to Lin Fenglei. They believe that Lin Fenglei can't agree.

Lin Fenglei smiled and said, "In addition to me, there are only 5 votes. Who else did you get?"

There was a trace of embarrassment on Husler's face. They originally wanted to beat St. Garren, which ranked fifth this season. This plan is also very beneficial to them. However, the chairman of St. Garren is as shrewd as a rabbit. St. Garren has barely ranked fifth this season, and the Grasswt back to the Super League next season. It is very unlikely that they will reach the top five next season, and if they can't enter the top five, this distribution plan will not be good for them at all, and they will offend other middle and lower clubs, so he excused it.

When they went to pull the Grasswtraps, Borbyg, the chairman of the Grasswts, did not give them a good look at all, so he directly refused, because when the Grasswtraps were relegated last season, these teams fell into the rocks against the Grasswt. After the Grasswtraps were relegated, they also said a lot of gloating words, and then the Grasswtraps I just returned to the Super League, and I'm not sure what I can play. If I want to offend others for an uncertain benefit, my brain is really kicked by a donkey. Even if I can get the top five, it will be less than a million euros more than the original distribution plan. Such a small profit is really not very attractive to him.

Seeing that Husler didn't say anything, Lin Fenglei said again, "No one pulled it, did it?"

Hussler quickly said, "In fact, we launched this plan mainly for your consideration. As long as you can win the league championship, you can get more than 10 million euros. Now the TV broadcasting fee of the Swiss Super League can increase so much. Everyone knows that it is your credit. Without you, we can only get a poor 1 million euros a year. As long as you agree, we will definitely be able to get a club.

Lin Fenglei slandered that you still have such kind intentions. But he definitely won't say this. He said with a playful smile, "It seems that it's really for us, so I have to thank you." There was a trace of embarrassment on the faces of the three.

Lin Fenglei continued, "What if I can't win the league championship? I took a look at your plan. If I can only get the fifth place, I can only get more than 6 million euros, which is no more than the original distribution plan. Why do I spend so much?

The three of them shook their heads together: "No, it's impossible. You must win the championship."

Lin Fenglei smiled and said, "So you are just competing for the top five?"

The three of them nodded together.

Lin Fenglei spread out his hands and said, "Then I don't understand. You can only compete for the top five, and you can't earn much more. Why do you have to spend so much?"

After listening to Lin Fenglei's words, the three people couldn't help thinking.

Lin Fenglei looked at the faces of the three people and continued, "I was the younger here, but since you let me come, I will still talk about my opinion. In fact, in terms of your assets, there is not much difference between one or two million euros and one or two million euros in the annual broadcast fee. There is no need to spend so much money on this money; but this money is different for middle and downstream clubs. With more money, they may be able to buy one or two more powerful balls. Member, this is very important to them.

Speaking of this, he paused and gave the three of them a little time to think. Then, he asked, "I don't know if the three of them know that the TV station is willing to pay so much more money this year?"

Meyer blurted out, "Of course, it's because of the good performance of the Gosho team."

Lin Fenglei shook his head: "Of course, this is a reason, but in a league, it is useless to have a strong team. Fans will not like to watch a game without confrontation, and the TV station will not pay a lot of money. The fundamental reason why TV stations increase broadcasting fees is that the overall level of the Swiss League is rising. The strength of all teams this season is increasing, and the confrontation in the game is becoming more and more fierce, and the level is getting higher and higher. Therefore, there are more and more spectators watching the game. Therefore, the overall level of the league is the most critical. If all the teams in the league have high income and have money to buy stars, it is only a matter of time before the Swiss league catches up with the five major leagues.

The other three people didn't say anything, but quietly listened to Lin Fenglei's words. They were all real crocodiles in the Swiss Super League, and they were also rich people in Switzerland. Now it is a strange thing for the three of them to listen to a young man in his 20s to speak like this, but when this young man's When their identities are equal to them, this matter is not incomprehensible. What's more, what this young man said seems to be very reasonable, and they have always ignored it, so they have to listen carefully.
