Chapter 867 Put Stubbornness in a Cage

Ms. Sloan was very cautious, and went out to look for a payphone again. Goodman pushed open the window of the study, "APLUS, let's get some air, and then sleep for a while, you still have an announcement at night, right?"

"It's okay, I'll wait for Sloan to come back."

The cool wind blowing in was shocking. Song Ya rubbed her face and walked out the door. Mawota, who was guarding outside, had changed shifts. Now it was Old Mike, and Linda seemed to have gone to rest, "Taraji! Come and eat Drink, get another blanket!"

"Okay, okay." Taraji agreed from afar.

"Did you not sleep all night?"

Mariah Carey appeared at the corner following the sound. She was wearing a popular mud green paste mask. Two slices of cucumber were stuck on the plump apple muscles. Song Ya was almost taken aback by this ghostly appearance. ,"Roughly the same."

"Humph, still not going to sleep? Don't mess up our show with Brenda tonight," she urged.

"Well, I'll squint in the study for a while."

Song Ya took the blanket from Taraji, motioned to her, and shut herself and Goodman into the study again.

It was around ten o'clock, but before eleven o'clock, he was woken up by Goodman, and Sloan came back.

"Gordon seems to be rejecting me." Sloan said seriously.

"Refused...He refused? What did you refuse?" Song Ya was puzzled, "Like? I don't want to hear such a vague answer at this time, Sloan."

"Gordon tells a lot about Jesse Helms, who openly supported racist politicians in the 1950s and was rumored to be involved in Ku Klux Klan activities before that. Wake up before it's too late' movement, opposed to the desegregation of public transportation, opposed the Civil Rights Act, opposed the Voting Rights Act, and almost all civil rights policies. He was also anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-abortion, and opposed federal government funding In response to HIV and anti-telecom bills, in 1993, he deliberately sang 'Dixie' to the only black female senator in the elevator (the unofficial national anthem of the southern states that supported slavery during the Civil War. This word can also represent southern whites, and the North White man’s Yankee counterpart)’…”

Sloan relayed: "Gordon obviously hates Jesse Helms very much. He has caught some politicians who support Jesse Helms in North Carolina this time. He said that he and the reporter and editor of A+CN They have been fighting intensely for more than a month over the innocent shooting of a black boy in Charlotte, although he did not say whether he will stop the attack, but I think his position has been clearly expressed."

"He is a senior media person, doesn't he know that this will cause trouble for his boss? Who does he think is paying him!?" Song Ya angrily threw the blanket on the ground,

"Damn it, I invested another tens of millions in A+CN this year, but even Nger himself doesn't watch this channel."

"He also gave reasons," Sloan said.

"What reason?"

"The reason why Jesse Helms is called a 'no MP' is that he is against everyone on almost every vote and every major issue, and all veto votes will look very garish. Gordon said Jesse Helms He has been making 'wrong choices', 'he always fails again and again' and 'always stands on the opposite side of history at major moments'. He was forced to voluntarily resign and step down. He opposed the transfer of the Panama Canal to the Canal Commission, and opposed the North America Free Trade Agreement, but also failed. He also firmly opposed the current commander-in-chief.

Sloan judged: "I think Gordon just tried to pass I urge you not to be intimidated by Jesse Helms, he thinks that old man is not terrible, ultra-conservative white politicians are now a minority, decadent, old, and current world trends Out of place. Since he always loses, why can't we win again? Jesse Helms is running for re-election this year, with you as a powerful enemy, donkeys and black groups are likely to snipe him out, let the support The Donkey Party candidate for the incumbent President won a crucial Senate seat in North Carolina. This chance is not much, otherwise the black community will have to endure that racist for six years."

"Because I'm strong, so he wants to put his boss on the battlefield? Why? Why must it be me? If I rush forward, even if he wins this battle, he won't have to worry about no news... What about me? I don't die You have to peel off your skin." Song Ya scolded: "What a white-eyed wolf, I should have listened to BET boss Johnson..."

"He said that you are one of the richest African-Americans. This is a historical choice and mission, not your personal will." Sloan added.

"Shxt! I don't want to take on any historical mission..."

I am going smoothly, and the American economy and the Chinese economy are both growing strongly. At this time, I am risking treason to confront a senior senator and the chairman of the foreign affairs committee? What is the need? And why? "That guy is more inflated than me. I gave him the top media status as the director of the first black 24-hour news station. He thought he was really the opinion leader of black Americans? This station doesn't even have black people themselves. Look! I... I'm tired of losing money!"

"Sloan, what do you think of Gordon's proposal?" Goodman asked.

"Although Jesse Helms always fails in Congress, he has transcended the influence of ordinary politicians. He is a pole of American politics, although this pole is very unpopular with African Americans. This year's Elephant Party presidential candidate Bob Dole is his ally. In the Watergate case and the Keating Five case, he protected many prominent political figures now, including the Elephant Party, which cooperated with us in the textile quota case. Senator McCann..."

Sloan said: "Although the current commander-in-chief hates him, he still needs to use his consistent toughness as the chairman of the foreign affairs committee to deal with the United Nations, Europe, Damao, Huaguo and some countries in the back garden of Central and South America, and strive for more favorable negotiations for himself. status."

"That's it! I don't do that kind of stupid thing!" Song Ya became more and more irritable as she heard it, and said loudly: "No one will think that there are too few enemies! You..."

'Bang bang bang! ’ At this time, Mariah Carey knocked on the door outside, "APLUS! It's almost noon! Do you want me to bring sleeping pills in?"

"I don't eat that stuff!" Song Ya responded.

"Then go to bed!" she yelled, "We have a TV show tonight!"

"Call Gordon again. I'll only give him one chance. I want to see the effect on the evening news of A+CN tonight." Song Ya ignored her and ordered Sloan.

"Otherwise?" Sloan asked.

"Otherwise... I don't know, but he must realize that he is not qualified to bargain with me!" Song Ya replied: "Today is not the time for him to show the persistence and stubbornness of some media people."

'Bang bang bang! ’ The door was being smashed again.

"OK, I'll continue communicating. Go to sleep. You're really not in a good condition." Sloan opened the door, and Mariah Carey had already taken off the mask, and she was waiting outside with her arms crossed.

"It's time for me to go to Washington to play golf, wait for my good news, APLUS."

Goodman smiled at the two who are still nominal couples, patted Afraid Song Ya's arm again, and followed Sloan away.

"Go to bed! Go!" Mariah Carey ordered like a child, "Look at you now, shave after waking up, it's best not to leave dark circles..."

Come on... Forget it, Song Ya yawned, "Got it, got it." He walked into the bathroom of the guest room.

"Is there any danger? It's very serious. It's rare to see you get angry like this."

While showering, Mariah Carey's voice came from outside the shower.

"Is there? Am I in a good mood? I was not excited when I quarreled with you." Song Ya replied.

"I mean your subordinates, you see, you know that you have never treated me well..." she complained.

"Sorry, I really need to change my temper. Many people say that I am too paranoid."

Song Ya put on a towel and opened the glass door of the shower room. Mariah Carey had already left.

He didn't go to bed right away, and watched the noon news from various stations in the living room with Hamlin, Sutton and his son who rushed over again, as well as Donovan and Hayden who finally arrived from Los Angeles. The full text of Burton's speech also exposed copies of some witnesses' testimony, "APLUS is very close to prison, and I believe the federal government will launch a formal investigation into Burton's allegations in the near future," said a conservative news anchor.

"It's all relatively short and not very powerful, but... this incident is less and less like the 'farce' that CUU calls it."

The old man Percy Sutton commented.

"That's it for now, I'm going to sleep for a while." Song Ya didn't respond to him, but smiled at Mariah Carey who was standing by the wall, and walked into the guest room silently.

In the evening, he took Sloan and others to the talk show studio to wait for the live show to be recorded, and of course Mariah Carey and Brenda.

"You're in a bit of a mess, APLUS," Mariah Carey's manager, Sandy Glenn, said. "Our friends in Hollywood are doing what they can to help."

"I know, I'll thank them later, and you can call Mr. Geffen for me."

Hollywood tycoons basically hate Dan Burton and Jesse Helms, especially gay fraternities such as Sandy Glenn and David Geffen, but Song Ya has to accept this love.

"Well, don't worry, we're on one side." Sandy Glenn nodded.

On time, Sloan pressed the remote control of the TV to switch to the Comcast free channel where the A+CN evening news is located, but he still did not convince Gordon.

"The family of the black man who died innocently in Charlotte still has not received a fair answer from the local law enforcement agencies. We appeal again..."

Gordon still delivered the news in his trademark voice.

"Fxxk!" Song Ya was furious about this in front of Mariah Carey and Sandy Glenn, and covered her face with her hands to calm down, "If you find a landline, use the one on the TV station." He whispered Command Hamlin.

"Gordon, you are playing with fire, do you know what you are doing!?" Song Ya couldn't take it anymore, and went to the phone to curse after watching the evening news.

"You should firmly fight against those people, otherwise why would everyone regard you as one of your own?" Gordon also had great emotions, and he asked back: "So why did you buy the media and get the news station? Back off after a little threat from a politician? Then why do you enter the industry? I'll just resign too!"

"I need influence, not trouble!"

Song Ya was full of lawsuits by this guy, "If I spent so much money for the black community and ended up like this, why should I ask for trouble? Maybe I shouldn't give you this opportunity Gordon , don't forget it's me..."

"I am very grateful, but I can't give in to a 3K Klansman at all. Sorry APLUS, you can fire me, or I will find a chance to resign." Gordon is very firm.

"I'm not talking about this matter." According to Sloan's instructions, Song Ya would never admit that his remarks were related to specific incidents on the phone, otherwise it would be even worse if Gordon secretly recorded and left evidence.

"Let me go, boss, your enemies are old guys who are dying." Gordon persuaded.

"So you don't intend to accept my opinion?" Song Ya asked after taking a deep breath.

"I acted on my conscience."

"Fxxk! You incompetent guy, if you really have a conscience, you shouldn't have made A+CN like this. I spent tens of millions on this TV station, but I didn't make any money, and you made my ass dirty?"

"TV station is a very long-term business, you can't do well with this mentality."

"I don't want you to teach me! You eat my flowers and mine..."

While roaring, 'click', Sloan directly pressed the plug spring of the landline, "He has already made the choice of APLUS, what's the use of talking about it now? How about thinking about what to do next?"

"your advice?"

"At this time, if Gordon is fired and replaced, as long as he makes a fuss, there will be an uproar without evidence, and it will directly affect your perception of the African-American base." Sloan said.

"Of course I know, I'm not firing him."

Song Ya made another call, "He eats my clothes and wears mine and dares to play with my personality, then I will give him a profound lesson even if I lose my interests!"

"What lesson? Don't use violence at this time..."

"No, I came up with the idea in bed this afternoon." Song Ya didn't give the answer directly: "I'm APLUS, please help Mr. Roberts."

"Roberts from Comcast?" Sloan asked, "You didn't discuss it with us. Don't be impulsive about APLUS."

"I'm not impulsive."

The call was transferred to the boss of Comcast, "Hey, Mr. Roberts, it's been a long time since I talked, what's the matter, I have a new idea... so, I know that the ratings of A+CN have caused a lot to you and me. Big trouble, is there still a period of time before the promotion resources of your free channel expire? Haha... guess what? I feel that these help are of little significance to A+CN, so just move all the columns of A+CN to How about paid Channel 88?"

Sloane's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"I know, I know it hasn't been opened yet, but it's a good thing for you, isn't it? You can give up resources to the next channel to be promoted, me? I resigned to my fate... Yes, it doesn't feel effective, A+CN That's it, it might be better to switch to channel 88 earlier, at least you can charge earlier."

"No...the 10 million promotion plan doesn't need to be advanced, it's okay, I can bear the loss of viewers during this period, it's nothing more than a little more money...just treat it as an act of atonement for A+CN's failure to meet our cooperation expectations Alright. Haha, whatever you want? Do you agree? That's it for now? Well, okay, I'll send the lawyer to your place tomorrow, and we've agreed? Great!"

"It's done!" Song Ya hung up the phone.

"A+CN is no longer on Comcast's premium channels, so..."

Of course, Esloan's astuteness was able to react, "It means that A+CN will not have a few audiences in the time gap before the 10 million promotion plan. No matter how Gordon performs, it means that we have achieved our goal. "

"Yes, I'm the boss, and I'm too lazy to spend too much time and energy arguing with the executives under my company. Gordon wants to play stubborn with me, so, well, I'll just turn off his stubbornness at a higher channel resource level. Into the cage!"

Song Ya sneered: "He is right, TV station is a long-term business, so I will lose money and run it slowly!"
