An Accidental Encounter with Murdoch

A hotel in London, United Kingdom.

After Zucker accepted interviews from a crowd of reporters at the airport and answered a few simple questions, he took a car to the hotel where he was staying.

"Boss, Mr. Cindy of ITV Broadcasting Company went to Paris, France, recently. It is expected to take another three days before he can return to London. ITV has sent Mr. Cahill, Mr. Cindy's deputy, in his stead. Would you like to see him now?"

Rielchi Baan said.

Rielchi Baan, male, 41, currently serves as the president of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group (UK) branch. At the same time, he is one of Zucker's trusted confidants; otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with such an important task, taking full charge of the company's affairs in the United Kingdom.

Zucker pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Mr. Cahill to go back for now. Have him come again tomorrow morning, and we will head to ITV Broadcasting Company then."

"Yes, boss."

"Wait a moment."

Zucker suddenly stopped him and said in a low voice, "I need information on Sky Sports and its parent company, Sky Television. Can you get it done in three hours?"

From beginning to end, Zucker had never forgotten the true purpose of this trip to the United Kingdom.

Going to ITV to inspect the progress of their cooperation was merely a side task; what he truly cared about was the battle for the UEFA Champions League broadcasting rights.

"No problem, boss."

Rielchi appeared very confident. After several years, he could be considered a local heavyweight in the United Kingdom, and he had good relationships with all sorts of factions.

That evening, while Zucker was reading the files on Sky Television in his hotel room, there was a knock at the door.
