Chicago 1990

School is about to start, and everything must be speeded up. In the afternoon, he and Alicia appeared together under the office building of A+CN.

The political adviser who came to Chicago to converge looked at the two suspiciously, and then reached out to remove the folder Alicia was holding on her chest. "New? The style is great."

"Hey, pay attention to Sloan." Alicia drew sideways from her fingers that hooked her neckline. "Don't make this kind of joke in front of the kids."

"Huh?" Song Ya frowned.

She and Ms. Sloan both burst into laughter, until Gordon, who came down to pick up the people, appeared.

"APLUS, Gordon, sorry, the road is a bit blocked."

Several people stood in the garage and chatted while waiting for Michelle, who was driving by herself. Her husband had announced that she would run for the State House of Representatives in the Hyde Park constituency. The election campaign team had also been set up as the former assistant to the mayor of Little Daley. She is very politically sensitive with the leaders of a number of equal rights and charitable organizations, and since A+CN rented office space in Chicago, she has been enthusiastic about helping.

"It's okay, let's go up, thank you Michelle for doing this for us during this time." Gordon hugged her. The two have actually known each other for many years, and they are both African-Americans and natural allies.

"APLUS, I rarely come back recently?"

Everyone squeezed into the elevator, Michelle asked.

"Yes, New York, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley...I almost never took a day off during the summer vacation." Song Ya complained to her, "What about your husband? Will he still teach in law school after the election next year?"

"Of course, we haven't made up our minds yet to let him be a full-time politician." Michelle replied.

"Actually, you might as well come by yourself." Song Ya said with a smile when they were familiar.

"It depends on the situation, if he can't get it."

Michel did not say anything to death. Although she is stronger than her husband in terms of personal abilities and political connections, her husband’s image is better, and it is said that her husband’s mother is Jewish. According to the matrilineal algorithm there, in fact, It can also be considered Jewish. I heard that the campaign manager had hired Jews, but according to the principle of a drop of blood, he must be black and self-identity must be.The Jews did the fundraising, and the black votes came out, and both sides took advantage.Of course, it was based on the best deduction. The black skin and white heart are not a warning for people. For example, Passy Sutton of the Manhattan Gang overturned on this sensitive issue.

The floor where A+CN is located soon arrived. All the employees have lined up at the entrance of the front desk to welcome the boss for the first time. Gordon also prepared a camera crew, which is the advantage of running a TV station.

"Hello, hello, how is life in Chicago? Where do you live now?"

Song Ya shook hands with the employees one by one. A+CN spent millions before and after the launch of A+CN, accounting for 71% of the shares, and the remaining 29% was from the pure investment destination North Funded by the trust and partner Comcast, most of the employees are currently busy for the premiere of the 45-minute news program in October.A+CN also owns 5% of Dorothy’s Black Women’s TV station in Baltimore, a board of directors, Chicago’s office space and OB vans are rented, and there is a big news station and a new station in Washington. The OB van, most of the employees were previously dug from the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation Washington Radio. The South African news station will also be set up before the first broadcast. The scale there is very small, and probably only two reporters and a three-person team will be sent. The film crew used to do this.

"It's okay, I heard that it will be very cold here soon." The director of the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation got the promised executive position as he wished. The power is only under Gordon. He smiled when shaking hands and said: "Wait until We will be amazed by the whole rice in October."

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

Song Ya and Gordon’s partner, the female host poached from Dorothy’s female TV station, and a newly recruited male financial anchor and the female weather forecast anchor shook hands, which happened to match the labels of two men and two women. All black.The appeal of the first black 24-hour news station was unexpectedly powerful. Except for Gordon and his partner and the radio executives dug from the Inner City Broadcasting Company, the salaries of the other major employees were not higher than they could be. The treatment received by other TV stations, even some people are willing to stay here with low salaries, and have to work for two years to accumulate qualifications.

"The sparrow is small and complete..." He walked around the inside of the TV station accompanied by a group of people.

"What?" Gordon didn't expect him to speak Chinese.

"It's nothing……"

Song Ya walked into the main control room. Unlike the control room of the recording studio, there is no direct view of the studio. There is also an extra TV wall. Handwritten labels are posted on each screen, and only a few are on. Yes, the signal should be from a few cameras in the news studio.

The equipment is not very new. It was bought from a poorly managed TV station in Chicago, but the most expensive place is here.Oh no, just in terms of hardware, Gordon alone may get 5 million salary every year, but fortunately, other people are much cheaper.

At present, Gordon is worth the money, and the small TV station is organized by him.

When the people from Comcast arrived for the meeting, the others continued to work and walked into the meeting room qualified enough.

The conference room of A+CN is very small. This time the people are very crowded and a bit crowded, but it should be temporary. Wait for Comcast to gradually increase the broadcast duration according to the milestone node of the contract until the channel resources are finally transferred. We are going to build a separate small building.Except for themselves, men are all shirts and ties, and women are all professional suits.

By then, the subscriber's money should be enough to be self-financing, right?

"What's the agenda for today's meeting, Linda." Song Ya thought, naturally sitting at the top boss of the long conference table.

"Uh, APLUS..." Ms. Sloan winked at him.

"What's the matter?" He found the expressions on other people's faces a bit embarrassing.

"Your seat is here..." Ms. Sloan patted a row of folding chairs against the corner, "Because the news is independent or something."

"Oh."

It seems like this. The boss is the boss, and the boss of the TV station can only be Gordon. Otherwise, his political inclination will be deeply bound to the TV station, which is not a good thing for the news station that advertises neutrality and objectiveness.

"mine."

He went to sit down there, and the people from Comcast, Michel, Alicia, and Linda were also sitting here.

Today's meeting is about the focus of the report after the news program went live. Gordon hosted, he did not sit down, but kept standing behind that seat and talking.

"Next year there will be a general election, and the news of African Americans in South Africa will also like to watch it, as well as discrimination incidents in various places, serious news of African American celebrities, and bills related to African Americans in Parliament..."

Gordon finished all routine tasks first, and then said: "But I still want to focus my report on the Simpson case."

"Didn't Johnson of BET limit our start time to after the jury result of the Simpson case came out?" Sloan asked.

"Yes, but special reports with in-depth news are my strong suit, Ms. Sloan."

Gordon replied: "Both blacks and whites need someone to make a final statement, and someone needs to help them review the causes and consequences of the entire incident. I plan to publish a series, which will last for about..."

"Sounds pretty good."

The closer it is to the final judgment day, the higher the popularity of the Simpson case in the United States. Every time the court trial is broadcast live, it will cause a big discussion in the whole country. Custer's people and Song Ya exchanged a few words in a low voice and asked, "This content won't take much time, right?"

"Simpson will face civil lawsuits immediately. Johnson can prevent me from following up with criminal proceedings, but the'sequel' aspect..."

Gordon made a quotation mark gesture, "The advancement of civil litigation is enough for our show to take a minute or two occasionally, and there can be more in court."

“It’s true that the Simpson case made Americans crazy, but it has been delayed for a long time. The people’s criminal verdict is equivalent to watching the finale.”

Michelle questioned, "Are they willing to follow up with such crazy high-intensity civil lawsuits that only involve monetary compensation this year? I feel that they will even have a rebellious mentality, and they don’t want to hear anything about Simpson at all. Something."

"Uh..." Gordon didn't seem to want to refute her face to face, and looked at Song Ya a little embarrassed.

"Don't look at me, you are the boss here, Gordon is in charge."

Song Ya raised both hands grandiosely, "This is what I asked you to do."
