The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

On the second day after the announcement of the Black Star Cup, countless media and consortium representatives came to the door waving banknotes, wanting to buy broadcasting rights.

In the large conference room of the legion base camp, Sylvia sat at the head, and the remote projections of countless representatives sat below, chattering and discussing non-stop, and the room was filled with a buzzing sound.

"quiet."

Sylvia knocked on the table, and the audience really fell silent, staring at her in unison.

As the chief affairs officer of the legion, Sylvia is also responsible for external communication, and is undoubtedly a high-ranking figure in the eyes of many forces. Even if the representatives present here are all high-level executives from their respective media or consortia, they are also very important in front of Sylvia. obedient.

Sylvia looked around and said seriously:

"Everyone's intentions are the same. Regarding the Black Star Cup All-Military League, the head of the legion means to create a comprehensive sports event for superpowers. The scope of the first competition is temporarily limited to the legion itself. In the future, it may The introduction of personnel from other forces to participate in the competition, the specific details are in the introduction of the competition rules, you have just read it.

The legion hopes that the event will be broadcast to the whole universe, so the broadcasting rights are sold according to the region. The planet-level broadcasting rights are not sold separately. The lowest bid is the star-level broadcasting range. Gnar, star cluster-wide broadcasting rights 980 million inal, payable in one to five installments, this is just a reference price, if an exclusive license in the same area is required, it will be done through bidding. "

Hearing this, there was commotion in the audience, and many people looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing surprise on each other's faces.

Compared to the status of the Black Star Legion and the popularity of this event, this price is quite conscientious, far lower than their psychological expectations.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to sell this kind of program broadcasting rights. The most common one is to sell in units of media, which does not limit the region. The other kind of regional sale is equivalent to splitting the broadcasting rights, which are generally used for large-scale broadcasting. , only a few people are qualified to open it, otherwise the media will not buy it, and the Black Star Legion naturally has this qualification.

The basic unit is the broadcast range of the star area, that is, the broadcast channel of this media is limited to a star area. Although the quantum network is very developed today, connecting the interstellar society as one, the audience range of most media is still regional, which is equivalent to local station.

The minimum bid of 15 million Enal is indeed quite a lot, but the financial groups and media that dare to do business with the legion are all large, and it is not a problem to spend this little money in business.

And if the scope of broadcasting overlaps, there is a set of processing system, and the regions of the same level overlap. If they do not compete for exclusive authorization, then the two broadcast together, otherwise they will bid. If there is an overlap of different levels, for example, one company bought the broadcasting rights for a star system, and the other bought a broadcasting right for a star area included in this galaxy, they will either not deal with it, or apply for legion negotiation, or withdraw the authorization or cooperate with each other. However, it is strictly forbidden for the media to buy out a large-scale broadcasting right and distribute it privately.

Sylvia called out Philip's avatars one by one, and came to each representative to record everyone's bid.

The media representatives here thought about it, wrote down their requirements, and bought them enthusiastically.

Everyone can see the business opportunities contained in the Black Star Cup. Recently, the Black Star Legion has done several major events, and the popularity is extremely high, especially the two major events of the Black Star Conferring the Gods and the Holy Light Particles, which have gathered a large wave of traffic for the legion. Basically, out of ten Star Citizens, at least three or four will pay attention to Legion news.

And the Black Star Cup itself is also attractive. Although there are many superpowers in the universe, fighting is not uncommon, but this kind of competition where countless superpowers of all levels participate together is too rare, and there are similar selections and drafts. This makes it easier to mobilize the emotions of the audience.

And there are so many competitions, how can you usually see so many superpowers participating in various interesting sports and entertainment projects.

According to the blueprint of the Black Star Cup, there is a chance that it will evolve into a league ceremony with more forces participating in the future. With the status of the Black Star Legion, they are not afraid of followers at all. In the long run, this league has great potential for development. The representatives present not only want to sign this Some races are planned, and some even want to book a few more immediately as a long-term investment.

"In this project, we are a win-win situation." Sylvia said eloquently when everyone was thinking about the bid: "If the Legion wants to make the Black Star Cup bigger, it needs more media broadcasts to attract attention, and you also need ratings. I don't need to emphasize the size of the Black Star Cup, this is a rare event..."

At this moment, a representative of the consortium raised his hand and asked, "I heard that the legion's internal gambling game is open. I wonder if you accept off-site capital injection?"

"You can organize your own gambling games, but the legion's handicap does not accept off-site betting." Sylvia waved her hand.

"This is why, if you open the market, the order of magnitude of the rake amount will definitely increase by several notches." Someone was puzzled.

"This is the highest instruction from the head of the legion."

Sylvia didn't explain to everyone. In fact, when she learned about Han Xiao's decision, she was also a little strange. This was a chance to make a fortune. Based on her understanding of Han Xiao, it was impossible for her to let go of this money. Unexpectedly, the teacher seemed to have changed his temper.

Later, Han Xiao explained to her, saying that although the Legion is rich, the bets from the outside world are still too large. It is risky to open the market to the outside world. The funds are circulated internally, no matter who wins or loses, the money is in the hands of the legion members.

On the other hand, if the members of the own legion participate in the competition, if the legion opens to the outside world, it may cause some dissatisfied associations among the legion members, which is not conducive to ideological construction. It is limited to betting within the legion, and the influence at the grassroots level will be much better. It feels like one of your own people is playing behind closed doors.

In short, it is... This bad money is not suitable for us!

After accepting every offer, Interpas brought the business team in to negotiate, while Silvia left the meeting room and rushed to the next meeting.

In addition to selling broadcasting rights, the Legion is also planning to find a large number of sponsors for the Black Star Cup. I believe that the partners of the Legion will invest more or less money, whether it is from the perspective of profit or face, which adds up to a huge sum. Number of.

On the other side, Sorokin also approached Han Xiao.

...

"You also want to sponsor the Black Star Cup?"

Han Xiao looked up and down the Sorokin remote projection in front of him.

"That's right, you are a shareholder of the Infinity Consortium, so I naturally want to express my support for your project." Sorokin put on his iconic smirk.

"How much are you going to invest?"

Sorokin reported a number and said with a smile: "This number represents my full sincerity."

Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat, the amount of this sponsorship was a bit exaggerated.

Your sincerity is overflowing...

"Are you sure to give so much?"

"Yes, the Black Star Cup has great potential. I am very optimistic about this investment." Sorokin smiled and said slowly: "And we are now partners. There was a rift between us for some reason before. , so I hope to make up the relationship with you..."

Han Xiao immediately understood.

Well, this is to pay the protection fee, and I want to make up for the losses caused to me before.

He took away the shareholder's position by means similar to threats, and it was a done deal. This guy Sorokin accepted the reality and took the initiative to make up the relationship.

After all, that sentence is well said, let's make do with it, what can happen.

Han Xiao suddenly thought of something and turned his eyes.

I'm afraid this guy is not only here to make up for the relationship between the two parties, but also for the traveler's affairs.

The Dark Emperor caught the traveler, and the rumors have been released. The empire will conduct a public trial, and he went to the secondary dimension world some time ago. Sorokin may have thought he knew something, so he came here to find out.

After all, Sorokin also participated in the Hela rescue battle, and Traveler was one of the few insiders, so of course he would feel guilty.

"Okay, I will write down a few notes for you about the past." Han Xiao smiled at him, and dragged his tone: "Then about Tyrant..."

Sorokin's eyelids twitched, "This..."

Before he could answer, Han Xiao laughed, "Don't worry, I'm just kidding, how could I let you tear up the agreement with him, turn around and use the same means to deal with him, and suppress all the business you helped him expand, I have a very good relationship with him."

I believe you shit, you black bastard is very bad...

Sorokin settled down, and tentatively said: "I heard that you recently went to a secondary dimension world, how was the trip?"

"Not bad, I went to quite a few places..."

Han Xiao chatted all over the world, but he didn't talk about the topic.

After listening patiently for a while, Sorokin saw that Han Xiao couldn't get to the point, so he coughed dryly and asked, "It is said that the Dark Emperor caught the traveler in the secondary dimension. Have you met him?"

"Yes." Han Xiao nodded.

Sorokin was overjoyed, and was about to hear what Han Xiao had to say, but he found that Han Xiao suddenly shut up, without any intention of extending the topic, and he looked like a cold-hearted king.

"..."

The two stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

Sorokin couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take the initiative to speak, and asked helplessly: "Then how was the situation at that time?"

"At that time, Xiao An...cough, An Emperor was almost escaped by a traveler, and happened to bump into me, so I caught him." Han Xiao smacked his lips and said with emotion: "Speaking of it, this guy is nothing. With a bit of punishment, he confessed to being the mastermind behind the scenes."

Sorokin's heart tightened, "Who is it?"

Han Xiao glanced at him, and slowly said: "He said that he is not a neutral mercenary, but a secret descendant of a super star cluster civilization. He was sent by a high-level official, so when Hela was attacked, , he came over to interfere."

"A direct descendant?" Sorokin asked curiously, "Which family does he belong to?"

Han Xiao's tone was dignified: "We didn't expect that he turned out to be a member of Modo civilization."

"It turned out to be Modo..."

Sorokin was thoughtful.

He was taken aback for a moment, and his heart became vigilant.

No, it is impossible for the traveler to help him cover up the truth, he will definitely expose the reason why the Transcendent star cluster sent him to act, it is his own operation.

In that case, the Empire must have known he was involved.

"Then you..." Sorokin stared at Han Xiao closely, hesitating to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"...Did the traveler reveal anything else?"

"Do you want to ask, did the traveler confess you?" Han Xiao smiled.

Sorokin's face tightened, and Black Star said that he must have been exposed.

At this time, Han Xiao restrained his smile, and said lightly: "What you are doing behind the scenes is not authentic."

In fact, he originally planned to hide it, but when Sorokin came to the door, he figured it out. The original plan for the enemy to be secret is not realistic.

Because the empire wants to publicly judge the traveler, Sorokin will definitely not have illusions. He knows that the probability of the traveler pleading guilty or throwing the blame is very high, and there is no reason to keep it secret for himself. Then the empire will probably know what he is doing behind the scenes, so Black Star will definitely be notified, knowing that he has calculated a wave of Black Star Legion behind his back.

In this way, it would be futile even if he pretended to be stupid. If he hid it, Sorokin would only be more defensive. Instead of that, it's better to directly point out that according to his understanding of Sorokin, this bastard is flexible and flexible, and he definitely doesn't want to tear his face, but find a way to make up for it, just a stroke.

After all, even if Sorokin paid compensation, it doesn't mean that he will give up targeting Sorokin.

Sorokin paused, showing a helpless expression:

"Well, I was caught by you. My motivation for doing this is to maintain balance, not against you personally, but I am really sorry for you. Now that we are partners, I will give you an explanation. , to express my apologies."

Han Xiao carefully observed his expression and narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, as guessed, with Sorokin's thick skin, he is unlikely to panic after being exposed, but to deal with the matter openly, apologize in person, and look for remedies.

And Sorokin is a chicken thief. In fact, he prepared a way out in this matter and made two-handed plans, that is, he deliberately confided his "heart" to the traveler, and found a way for his behavior to maintain collectivism and attack super-A The reason for the level united front does not involve personal grievances.

With this kind of thinking as a support, even if it is exposed afterwards, he will not be so fiercely targeted-because his position on this matter is actually consistent with the three major civilizations, and they all want to attack the Transcendent A Grade united front !

He just made a deviation in his method, but even so, the extent of his offending the empire is actually very low. After all, his method is indirect interference, rather than direct intervention, so there is some room for maneuver.

In today's complex cosmic situation, there are conflicts of interest between the three major civilizations and the Development Federation, and Sorokin, as a member of the association, has the so-called collectivist thinking, so in the eyes of the three major civilizations, he is very Might become one of those up for grabs.

Although the exposure of his position will make Tool Nation and Black Star a group of Transcendent A Grade who advocate a united front reject him, but in turn, this has become an opportunity for him to get closer to the three major civilizations and minimize losses as much as possible.

Han Xiao had to admit that Sorokin was a chicken thief. This duplicitous guy, relying on the resources in his hands, always had room for dealing with negative consequences.

The biggest problem is that he conspired with the Transcendent star cluster alliance on this matter. The three major civilizations must be dissatisfied with this. Sorokin can't clean himself up, and it will definitely take a wave of blood to solve it.

The second problem is Han Xiao's attitude. Black Star has been offended terribly, and now no one can shake his position. Sorokin can only compromise, and is ready to be yelled at by the lion.

Various thoughts flashed by, Han Xiao blinked, and said lightly: "Let me hear how you are going to express your apology to me."
