Latest URL: "What happened to Charis?"
In the restaurant in Highland Park, Linda put down the phone and said to Hayden who was eating: "I called and laughed and cried, talking incoherently."
"Did she offer to talk to APLUS in person?" Hayden asked.
"Of course." Linda said.
"That's right." Hayden smiled, "She has always been very scheming."
Linda snorted through her nostrils. At this time, Song Ya followed Old Mike and others downstairs, "Hayden, haven't you eaten yet? Hurry up, we have to catch the flight!" Song Ya urged loudly.
"Flight? I came here by your private plane today." Hayden was stunned.
"That's right, the reading essays in logic and rhetoric class this semester have made me blurry."
Song Ya remembered that his wife was scared by his sudden illness, and now Gulfstream planes can be enjoyed at will again, as for the vows made? It's all angry talk, angry talk...
"Just now Charis called and said she wanted to talk to you personally, look..."
Linda showed her mobile phone, Hayden gave her a strange look, but didn't make a sound.
"Let's talk about everything in the car."
Song Ya didn't pay attention to this. The group got in the car and rushed to the airport. Linda called Charis back. He chatted with the girl before putting down the phone, "Fxxk, Harvey sent a Hollywood pimp to recite Let me seduce Charis quietly, Hayden, tell Yeremov to take care of her more."
In Hollywood, it's not necessarily a bad thing for a girl that Harvey has a crush on. Of course, Hayden wasn't stupid enough to say in front of the boss, "Okay, Charis signed under the Pakinsley banner of CAA, I told Yeremov to give Pakinsley directly..."
"Come on, Pai Kingsley might persuade Charis to be obedient." Song Ya said.
"Well, I know what to do." Hayden didn't dare to refute.
"Well, by the way, since Harvey is playing tricks on my people, the New York Times won't ask him for help in that matter. Can you William Morris handle it?"
Song Ya confirmed again, "I didn't expect to see some special topics about the Chicago black police case or the Sinaloa case suddenly broadcast in his house.
"
"It can be done. New York Times boss Arthur Jr. is a very reasonable person. We have reached a tacit understanding with him." Hayden took the opportunity to announce the good news.
"Um."
This is a big deal, Song Ya thought about it again, "Linda, tell Charis not to turn against that pimp directly, I don't want Harvey to ruin my business in turn."
"Okay." Linda picked up the phone and dialed again.
"Hayden, have you brought the information?" Song Ya reached out to Hayden, ignoring Linda who was calling softly.
"Brought it."
Hayden took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase, "Can you finish reading it on the road?"
"You have to watch it even if you can't finish it."
Song Ya immediately entered the working state. As long as the goal is determined, he is very mobile. Now that he has decided to be a 20-hour black news station, he will soon enter the preparatory stage. The most famous black news host Ge Deng is indispensable. Now he has not found a reliable investor and is still in a state of seeking himself. It may not be so when other players come in.
Secondly, although the telecommunications bill has encountered a lot of obstacles in the House of Representatives, the two parties only disagree on the details. When Hammer sold the TV station, it was a lot more expensive, but after the telecommunications bill is passed, it will definitely not be the same price, and the cost will skyrocket.
Three, the Sutton family on the Inner City Broadcasting Company is very urgent. They kept urging Alicia to complete the preliminary negotiations. These annoying bastards who don't distinguish between politics and business are now entangled in their only life-saving straw. Mi En Dou Mi Qiu means that it is a good means of restraint or countermeasure to get a self-owned TV station early.
"Disney hinted that after the acquisition of ABC, it would launch ABC's own 24-hour cable news station. CBS and FOX also announced that they would follow up. NBC and Microsoft have reached a strategic partnership. They are planning to launch a joint news called MSNBC. channel, and news will be simultaneously pushed on the website..."
Song Ya looked at the materials and sighed, "It seems that the three major wireless networks and FOX are already preparing to encircle and suppress CUU in the field of cable news!"
"Yes, the telecommunications bill will intensify competition and mergers. The three major wireless TV networks that have always been in the leading position are the most nervous. They may use their scale advantages to develop stronger, and they may also lose in the competition of new players. In the next 20 years There will be more competition in the four-hour cable news space than ever before."
Hayden said: "The launch time of these new channels will be around this time next year, that is, everyone judges that the telecommunications bill will be passed in the first half of next year, but it is all intentions. These big channels can deploy resources at will to create new channels. Channel, it’s easy. And you, boss, Xiaotai’s situation will only get more and more difficult, don’t blame me and Donovan for not reminding you.”
"The big deal is to get it out and sell it. Johnson has planned an entertainment-oriented route for BET. There is room for black serious news stations."
Song Ya replied. He was now focused on solving the problems at hand, countering the inner-city broadcasters and prepping media resources for the Vicner case.
"Has it ever occurred to you that Johnson may well be right."
Linda joined the discussion after making the phone call, "Black people really don't like to watch serious news, and the disposable income of families in our group is generally not high, so not many people are willing to subscribe to cable stations that broadcast 24 hours a day..."
"That's it. There are many smart people in this world. There must be a reason why there is an obvious market gap but no one wants to enter it."
Hayden agrees.
"That's why they're not smart enough, OK?"
Song Ya didn't take it seriously, "Think about the matter of Bahn Chemical, isn't it just relying on the fluorescent party and the new demand for fluorescent sticks to survive? There is no demand in the market to create..."
He deliberately ignored that the idea of the fluorescent party was the result of Apocalypse's help. We have money in our hands. Even if we left 30 million for Netscape and SUN stocks, there are still nearly 100 million that have not been spent. Before the end of the year, no matter what To invest out, the interest rate is getting lower and lower, and he doesn't want to bleed as much as this year in the tax season next year.
"You are a genius and you have the final say." Hayden expressed his conviction.
The group met Goodman and Hamlin who were waiting at the airport, boarded the Gulfstream and flew directly to Los Angeles.
Gordon was very cautious. He didn't make an appointment for the meeting place in Washington, BET's hometown. Instead, he found an opportunity to come to Los Angeles to interview Simpson in prison. The popularity of the guy's case has been abnormally high, and the people of the United States seem to never get enough of it. It is a big drama with stars, love, cheating, murder, suspense, politics, money, law and even gossip elements.
"Gordon, I've decided to support you."
At the Malibu beach party hosted by Mariah Carey, Song Ya met Gordon, and he got straight to the point, "The Suttons are so annoying, I want to make my own news station."
"Really!? Great! APLUS."
Gordon was overjoyed immediately. This well-known middle-aged black elite was so excited that he almost spilled the wine in his glass. He took a big step forward and held Song Ya's hand tightly, "You don't know that I've been waiting for this day how long."
"Do you have any ideas?" Song Ya asked, "To the new TV station."
"Of course, he must be in line with CUU, our black news station..."
Gordon immediately began to eloquently look forward to it, "The same will be broadcast 24 hours a day, and the same will only discuss major news events in the world and in China..."
"What about the world news section?" Goodman interjected next to him and asked, "We can't afford to maintain a global news team like CUU."
"Can you buy it? In addition to Milian, we can also buy it from Faxin, Reuters, Kyodo, and Xinhua..."
Gordon said: "Some countries maintain global news sources for no profit, and they are very happy to have American media willing to quote their news reports for a small fee."
"Isn't it appropriate?" Song Ya is willing, but he is also very sensitive to politics, and it's okay to do it occasionally. Using the mouthpieces of these other countries as the main source of global news will definitely be collectively strangled by the American political circles, regardless of the donkey .
"Of course, I'm referring to the stage of filling in the gaps in global news sources in the early days of Taiwan's establishment, and then the first step is to set up a news station in South Africa, and then develop to other places. This is a long-term process."
Gordon said: "Anyway, most black people in the United States focus on domestic news, and their international awareness is not high, and the proportion of international news will not be high by then."
"Well, you did make a long-term plan." Song Ya nodded: "Do you have a plan?"
"Yes, but I can't take it out now." Gordon didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle. "I can't take the risk of being discovered by Johnson and then go back home and go back on it. He is already suspicious of me now."
"Gordon, I can't take the risk of being overly irritated Johnson, you'd better break up peacefully, otherwise I may not accept you, do you understand?"
Song Ya is very clear that she can't offend BET, who is the most influential in the black community today, for the sake of future media influence. Uh, if you offend, you will definitely offend, but you can only offend a little, and you must not risk tearing your face. risks of.
"I understand, don't worry, why don't you think about the name of our new TV station first?" Gordon laughed.
"I thought of a name, A+ Cable News, A+ Cable News, for short, how about it?"
"Good, very good!"
