Chapter 702: A+ Cable News

Latest URL: "What happened to Chalis?"

In the restaurant in Highland Park, Linda put down the phone and said to Hayden who was eating, "Calling and crying and laughing, speaking incoherently."

"Did she offer to talk to APLUS in person?" Hayden asked.

"Of course." Linda said.

"That's it." Hayden smiled. "She has always been very scheming."

Linda snorted with her nostrils. At this time Song Ya followed Old Mike and the others downstairs, "Hayden, haven't you eaten yet? Hurry up, we have to catch the flight!" Song Ya urged loudly.

"Flight? Today I came by your private jet." Hayden was stunned.

"Yes, the reading essays in this season's logic and rhetoric class made me unconscious."

Song Ya remembered that his wife was frightened by her sudden illness. Now the Gulfstream plane can enjoy it at will. As for the oath?All angry words, angry words...

"Charis just called and said that she wanted to tell you something in person, look..."

Linda showed her phone, Hayden gave her a strange look, but made no sound.

"Say everything in the car."

Song Ya didn’t pay attention to this. A group of people got in the car and rushed to the airport. Linda called Charis back. He chatted with the girl and put down the phone, “Fxxk, Harvey sent a Hollywood pimp to memorize it. Let me seduce Chalith quietly, Hayden, you ask Yeremov to take care of her."

In Hollywood, Harvey’s fancy to a girl is not necessarily a bad thing for that girl. Of course Hayden is not stupid enough to say so in front of the boss, "Okay, Charis is signed under CAA’s Paikinsley. I asked Yeremov to give Kingsley directly..."

"Come on, Pai Kingsley might even persuade Charis to obediently." Song Ya said.

"Well, I know what to do." Hayden didn't dare to refute.

"Well, by the way, since Harvey is tricking my people, then the New York Times won't ask him for help. Will you William Morris handle it?"

Song Ya confirmed it again, "I don't want to see the Chicago black police case or the Sinaloa case suddenly broadcast from his house."

"If it can be done, Arthur, the boss of New York Times, is a very reasonable person. We have reached a tacit understanding with him." Hayden took the opportunity to announce the good news.

"Ok."

This is a major event, Song Ya thought about it again, "Linda, tell Charis not to turn his face with the pimp, I don't want Harvey to do my things in reverse."

"Okay." Linda picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hayden, did you bring the information?" Song Ya stretched out his hand to Hayden after Linda didn't bother to call.

"Brought it."

Hayden took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase. "Can you finish reading on the road?"

"You have to watch if you can't finish it."

Song Ya immediately entered the working condition. As long as he determined the goal, he was very capable of action. Since he decided to be a 20-hour black news station, he would soon enter the preparatory stage. The most famous black news host Ge Deng is indispensable. He hasn't found a reliable investor yet. He is still in a state of seeking himself. It is not necessarily when other players come in.

Secondly, although the telecommunications bill has been greatly hindered in the House of Representatives, the two parties only have differences in the details. It is expected that the bill will be passed. It is still too late to buy small TV stations or simply get channel resources, even if compared to MC last year. Hammer is a lot more expensive when selling TV stations, but after the telecommunications bill is passed, it will definitely not be at this price, and the cost will skyrocket.

Three, the Sutton family on the Inner City Broadcasting Company is very urgent. They keep urging Alicia to complete the preliminary negotiations. This gang of nasty ghosts, regardless of political and business affairs, are now entangled in their only life-saving straw. The meaning of Mien fighting Miqiu is that it is a good means of restraining or countermeasures to get a private TV station earlier.

"Disney hinted that after acquiring ABC, it will launch ABC's own 24-hour cable news station. CBS and FOX also announced that they will follow up. NBC has reached a strategic partnership with Microsoft. They are planning to launch a joint venture news called MSNBC. Channel, and also push news synchronously on the website..."

Song Ya sighed while looking at the information, "It seems that the three major wireless networks and FOX are ready to encircle 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 tense. They may use their scale advantages to grow stronger, or they may lose in the competition of new players. The four-hour cable news channel will have unprecedented competition in this area."

Hayden said: "The launch time of these new channels will be around this time next year, that is, everyone has judged that the telecommunications bill will be passed in the first half of next year, but they are all intentions. These major channels can deploy new resources at will. Channel, it’s easy. But you, the boss, and Xiaotai’s situation will only get harder and harder. Don’t blame Donovan and I for not reminding you.”

"The big deal is to get it out and then sell it. Johnson has planned an entertainment-oriented route for BET, and the black serious news station has market space."

Song Ya answered.He is now focusing on solving the immediate problems, countering the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, and preparing media resources in advance to deal with the Victory case.

"Have you ever thought that Johnson is probably right."

Linda finished the phone call and joined the discussion, "Black people really don't like to watch serious news, and our group generally does not have a high disposable family income. Not many people are willing to subscribe to a 24-hour cable station..."

"That's it. There are a lot of smart people in this world. There is an obvious open market but no one wants to enter. There must be a reason."

Hayden agreed.

"That's because they are not smart enough, OK?"

Song Ya didn't care, "Think about the Baen Chemical industry, isn't it just relying on the fluorescent party, the new demand for light 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 this hand. Even if we left 30 million in Netscape and SUN stocks, there are still nearly 100 million that have not been spent. No matter what, before the end of the year. Investing is going out, interest rates are getting lower and lower, and he doesn't want to bleed like this year in the tax season next year.

"You are a genius, you have the final say." Hayden said he was convinced.

The group joined Goodman and Hamlin waiting at the airport and boarded the Gulfstream to fly directly to Los Angeles.

Gordon was very cautious. He did not make an appointment at BET’s hometown, Washington, but instead found an opportunity to come to Los Angeles to interview Simpson in prison. The popularity of that guy’s case has always been perverted, and the American people seem to be not enough. The scene has elements of celebrity, love, derailment, murder, suspense, politics, money, law and even gossip.

"Gordon, I decided to support you."

At the Malibu beach party hosted by Mariah Carey, Song Ya met Gordon, and he was straight to the point, "Sutton and his son are too boring, I want to make my own news station."

"Really!? Great! APLUS."

Gordon was overjoyed. The 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 I’m 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 look forward to it, "It's the same as a round-the-clock broadcast, and only discusses major news events in the world and the country..."

"How to solve the world news part?" Goodman next to me interrupted and asked: "We cannot afford to maintain a global news team like CUU."

"You can buy it. In addition to Mi Lian, we can also buy from France-Singapore, Reuters, Common, Xinhua..."

Gordon said: "Some countries do not maintain global news sources for profit. They are very happy to see that American media are willing to quote their news reports, and the cost is not high."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Song Ya is willing, but he is also very sensitive to politics. It is fine to do occasionally. Using the mouthpieces of these other countries as the main source of global news must be collectively strangled by the US political circles, regardless of the elephant. .

"Of course, I mean that at the beginning of the creation of the station, fill in the blanks of global news sources, 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 Americans in the U.S. pay attention to domestic news, and the international concept is not high, and then the proportion of international news will not be high."

"Well, you did make a long-term plan." Song Ya nodded, "Is there a plan?"

"Yes, but I can't take it out now." Gordon didn't see the rabbit or scatter the eagle. "I can't run the risk of being discovered by Johnson and going down again. He is already suspicious of me now."

"Gordon, I can't risk being overly irritated by Johnson. You'd better break up peacefully, otherwise I won't necessarily accept you, do you understand?"

Song Ya knows very well that he cannot offend BET, the most influential black community today, for the future media influence. Uh, offending is definitely offending, but it can only be a small offense. risks of.

"I understand, don't worry, why don't you think about our new TV station?" Gordon laughed.

"I thought of a name, A+ Cable News, A+ Cable News, for short, how about it?"

"Yes, very good!"
