Chapter 146 1978 World Cup in Argentina!

Yang Ming chatted with Huang Xizhao and found that Huang Xizhao was still very capable.

Then why historically, when Huang Xizhao was in charge of Li TV, Li TV continued to suffer losses?

This is actually related to the voice of Li, the majority shareholder of Li's TV station.

As the major shareholder, Li's voice interfered too much, especially the white executives, who had no idea what kind of programs the local Chinese in Hong Kong wanted to watch.

Historically, this was not the case only for Li's TV station.

Including British capital in Hong Kong, after the 1970s, especially in the 1980s, they were gradually surpassed by Chinese capital, and even acquisitions had a lot to do with it.

British capital gradually began to fail to adapt to the market in Xiangjiang, and instead began to localize Swire, and Jardine Matheson, which was struggling to survive, finally survived.

Yang Ming and Huang Xizhao finished chatting.

Come down from the study room on the third floor.

Yang Ming, Yang Jirong, Li Yufang, and Huang Xizhao had dinner together.

After dinner.

Huang Xizhao drove away from here and returned to his residence.

"Master Yang, Mr. Huang is gone."

Azhu came over and said.

Yang Ming looked out the window.

If Huang Xizhao hadn't come over and mentioned to him the purchase of the exclusive rights to broadcast the 1978 Argentina World Cup in Hong Kong, Yang Ming wouldn't have even thought about the World Cup.

Even if Yang Ming remembered that under normal circumstances, Yang Ming certainly didn't know what the result of this World Cup would be.

It's different now.

He can read tomorrow's events in advance from the newspapers.

For the World Cup results.

This means that Yang Ming can make money like horse racing and stocks.

The current World Cup betting is not as huge as the hundreds of billions or even trillions in the future.

However, after the World Cup, it is still possible to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the global gambling market.

Compared with Yang Ming's current income from the stock market and arcade games, a few hundred million US dollars does not seem to be much, nor is it too small.

"Master, it's raining outside again."

It rained heavily last night and this morning.

It stopped for a few hours in the afternoon and now it's starting to drizzle again.

Yang Ming didn't stay outside anymore.

First, go upstairs.

After he went to take a comfortable warm bath, under the service of A-Zhu and Zhong Chuhong, he changed his clothes and returned to the study.

Yang Ming made a note in his computer document about entering the World Cup in Argentina next month.

. . .

for the rest of the time.

Yang Ming basically commutes to and from get off work normally.

In addition to the increasing sales of Empire Games' first game "Space Invaders".

In May, global sales once again exceeded 5 units.

All told, "Space Invaders" has brought in nearly $10 billion in revenue.

Just this one arcade game brought in $10 billion in revenue, which is also very scary.

This completely boosted the arcade market in Japan and China, allowing the global arcade market to enter the gold market.

Game companies such as Toyo Ethereum, Namco, Nintendo, and Sony have begun to increase the research and development of arcade hardware and software.

This also led to the establishment of more gaming console companies.

Like Glory Company, SNK Company.

In addition to more and more Japanese companies entering the arcade game industry.

Companies in country M, mainly Atari, began to increase their investment in arcade games.

Some game companies have also become agents of Empire Games, selling and maintaining Empire Games' first "Space Invaders".

Yang Ming knew that "Space Invaders" detonated the global arcade market and brought the arcade market into a golden period.

However, what is really more popular than "Space Invaders" is "Pac-Man".

Historically, this game was developed by Namco two years later. Now Empire Games secretly develops it in advance. Under normal circumstances, it will definitely be released normally in the second half of the year.

Relying on these two games, Empire Games will basically monopolize the global arcade market.

When Yang Ming came out of Empire Games Company.

Go upstairs.

The time has now come to May 1978, 5.

Tomorrow, the first round of the 1978 Argentina World Cup group stage will kick off at the Monument Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Some time ago, after meeting Yang Ming, Huang Xizhao personally flew to the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, to meet with the relevant person in charge, and had a long discussion with the relevant person in charge to win the exclusive broadcasting rights for the World Cup in Xiangjiang.

Before this, Xiangjiang's exclusive copyright was not purchased with any money, and TVB did not pay attention to it.

Nowadays, Asian TV is willing to spend money to buy it, and FIFA is naturally very happy.

Asia Television just bought it for $300,000.

However, for a city in Hong Kong, spending US$1978 to obtain the exclusive rights in was not cheap.

Huang Xizhao signed a relevant contract with FIFA, and Huang Xizhao immediately sent staff and reporters to Argentina to broadcast the upcoming World Cup live broadcast.

During this time, Hong Kong's media and newspapers also reported news about the upcoming World Cup.

In addition, there is also the fact that Asia Television spent money to buy the exclusive broadcast rights and provided them to Hong Kong viewers for free. This attracted great attention from many Chinese and white people who like the World Cup.

Unconsciously, Asia TV's ratings began to rise.

When Asia Television won the exclusive rights to broadcast the World Cup, TVB Chairman Li Xiaozhao, General Manager Shao Yifu and others only reacted when they saw the news.

Not only did they miss out on the exclusive broadcast rights, but they were also stepped on by Asia Television without realizing it.

Recently, they thought that Asia TV has been conducting preliminary selections for the Miss Asia program, and their focus is also on Miss Hong Kong and prime time dramas.

It has to be said that after Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group acquired and controlled Asia Television, Li Xiaozhao, Shao Yifu and others felt that the pressure suddenly increased.

They knew that in addition to Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group being very wealthy, Yang Ming also supported Huang Xizhao very much.

Without being constrained by Li's voice, Huang Xizhao began to show his talents and abilities, which really frightened TVB shareholders and management such as Li Xiaozhao and Shao Yifu.

Since they missed the World Cup at the cost of broadcasting rights, they can only set their goals in other areas.

For the sake of ratings, they will not miss any opportunity.

When Yang Ming left the Empire Group, he took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa.

After dinner with Yang Jirong and his wife.

Yang Ming found that it was really hot in Hong Kong in June.

The hot summer season has begun.

The highest temperature during the day has reached 36 or 7 degrees Celsius. At night, the temperature in Xiangjiang still remains at 30 degrees Celsius.

The Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa has air conditioning all the time.

Even if the air conditioner is turned on 24 hours a day from day to night, the electricity bill consumed is nothing to Yang Ming.

It's too stuffy outside.

Yang Ming did not stay outside.

When Yang Ming went to the bathroom upstairs to take a bath, Azhu and Zhong Chuhong were standing outside.

"Are you hot?"

"Master, it's not hot now that the air conditioner is on."

"Zhong Chuhong, what about you?"

"Young Master Yang, I don't feel hot either."

Before this, Zhong Chuhong had only enjoyed air conditioning while working part-time in a jewelry store.

In her home, her parents couldn't afford air conditioning at all, and even the electric fan was rarely turned on. They basically used cattail fans to solve the problem.

Arriving at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay, she felt like it was spring when the air conditioner was on.
