Chicago 1990

Ms. Sloan was very cautious and went out to look for a public phone again. Goodman pushed the study window open and said, "Be breathable, APLUS, and 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 breeze that came in was a shock. Song Ya rubbed his face and walked out the door. The Mavota guarded outside has changed shifts. Now it’s the old Mike, Linda seems to have gone to rest, too, "Taraji! Come and eat. Drink it and get another blanket!"

"Good, good." Taraji agreed far away.

"Have you not slept all night?"

Mariah Carey appeared in the corner with the sound, her face was smeared with a mud-green mushy mask that was popular, and two cucumbers, one left and the other right, were stuck on the plump apple muscles. Song Ya was almost taken aback by this ghost look. ,"Roughly the same."

"Huh, don't you go to bed? Don't mess up our show with Brenda at night." She urged.

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

Song Ya took the blanket offered by Taraji, motioned to her, and then shut herself and Goodman into the study.

About ten o'clock, before eleven o'clock, he was awakened by Goodman, and Sloan returned.

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

"Reject... He refused? What did he reject?" Song Ya wondered, "It seems? I don't want to hear such a vague answer at this time, Sloan."

"Gordon talked about the old things about Jesse Helms. In the 1950s, he began to openly support racist politicians. Before that, there were rumors of participating in the KKK activities. In the 1960s, he was a white man, working for Waking up before it’s too late, the cadre of the movement, opposed to the abolition of segregation measures on public transportation, the civil rights bill, the voting rights bill, and almost all civil rights policies. He also opposed the same, anti-feminist, anti-abortion, and opposition to federal government funding. In response to HIV and the anti-telecommunications bill, in 1993, he deliberately sang'Dixie (the unofficial national anthem of the southern states that supported slavery during the Civil War) in the elevator to the only black female senator. Corresponding to the white Yankees)'..."

Sloan relayed: "Gordon obviously hates Jesse Holmes very much. This time he caught some North Carolina politicians who supported Jesse Holmes. He said that he and A+CN reporters and editors We fought intensively for the innocent shooting of the black boy in Charlotte for more than a month. Although it is not clear whether he will stop the attack, I think we have made our position very clear."

"He is a senior media person, don't you know that this will cause trouble to his boss? Who does he think is paying him!?" Song Ya angrily threw the blanket to the ground, "Damn it, I'm in A this year Tens of millions were invested on +CN, and as a result, even Nger didn’t even watch this channel."

"He also said the reason." Sloan said.

"What reason?"

"The reason why Jesse Helms is called a'non-member' is that he confronts everyone almost every time he votes and major issues. All veto votes will be very eye-catching. Gordon said Jesse Helms Always making'wrong choices', he always fails again and again, and always stands on the opposite side of history at major moments. For example, he once stood firmly on the side of the leader of the “Watergate case”. He was forced to take the initiative to resign. He opposed the transfer of the Panama Canal to the Canal Commission and the North-Miscellaneous Free Trade Agreement, which was unsuccessful. He also firmly opposed the incumbent leader. As a result, the current leader won the election and did a good job."

Sloan judged: "I think Gordon just tried to persuade you not to be afraid of Jesse Helms through me. He thinks that old man is not terrible. The ultra-conservative white politician is now a minority, decadent, old, and current world trend. Out of place. Since he always loses, why can't we win again? This year Jesse Helms is running for re-election. With you, a powerful enemy, the Donkey Party and the black community are likely to snipe him out and support The current leader of the Donkey Party candidate won a vital seat in the North Carolina senator. This opportunity is not many, otherwise the black community will have to endure the racist for six years."

"Because I am strong, he wants to put his boss on the battlefield? Why? Why must it be me? I rushed forward. Even if I win this battle, he won't worry about losing news... What about me? You have to peel off your skin." Song Ya scolded: "What a white-eyed wolf, I should have listened to Johnson, the owner of BET..."

"He said that you are one of the richest African Americans. This is a historical choice and mission, and it does not depend on your personal will." Sloan said again.

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

I am going smoothly. Both the U.S. economy and the Chinese economy are growing strongly. At this time, I risked treason to go with a senior senator and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee.What is necessary?Why?"That guy is more swollen than I am. I gave him the status of the first black 24-hour news station leader as a top media person. He thought he was really a black American public opinion leader? This station is not even black himself. Look! I...I'm getting annoyed by losing money!"

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

"Although Jesse Helms has always failed in Congress, he has surpassed the influence of ordinary politicians. He is a pole of U.S. politics, although this pole is very unpopular with African Americans. This year's elephant party leader candidate Bob Dole was his ally. In the Watergate case and the Keating Five cases, he protected a number of prominent political leaders, including the Elephant Party, which we had cooperated with in the textile quota case. Senator McKean..."

Sloan said: "Although the current commander 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, Mao Zedong, China and some Central and South American back garden countries, and strive for more favorable negotiations for himself. status."

"That's it! I won't do that kind of stupid thing!" Song Ya became more annoyed as he listened, and said loudly, "No one would think there are too few enemies! You..."

'Boom boom!'At this time Mariah Carey smashed 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 sleep!" she yelled: "We have a TV show to be on tonight!"

"You call Gordon again. I only give him one chance. I want to see the effect of the A+CN evening news 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 some media people's persistence and stubbornness."

'Boom boom!'The door is being smashed again.

"OK, I will continue to communicate, you go to sleep, you are really not in good condition now." Sloan opened the door, Mariah Carey had already dropped the mask, hugging her chest with her hands, and waiting outside domineeringly.

"It's time for me to go golfing in Washington, and wait for my good news, APLUS."

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

"Go to bed! Go!" Mariah Carey ordered like a child, "Look at what you look like now. You can shave when you wake up. It's best not to leave dark circles..."

Go... Forget it, Song Ya yawned, "I see." He walked into the bathroom of the guest room.

"Is there any danger? It's very serious. I rarely see you getting angry like this."

While taking a shower, Mariah Carey’s voice sounded outside the shower.

"Is there? I'm in a good mood? I was excited when I didn't fight with you." Song Ya replied.

"I mean your opponents, you see, you also know that your attitude towards me has never been bad..." she complained.

"Sorry, my temper really needs to be changed. Many people say I am too paranoid."

Song Ya wrapped the bath towels and opened the glass door of the shower room. Mariah Carey had already left.

He did not go to bed right away. In the living room, Hamlin, Sutton, father and son, and Donovan, Hayden and others who finally arrived from Los Angeles watched the noon news of various stations. The conservative TV station not only published Dan The full text of Burton’s speech also exposed copies of some witnesses’ testimony, “APLUS is very close to the prison, and I believe that the federal government will launch a formal investigation into the allegations of Danburton soon,” the conservative news anchor said.

"It's all relatively brief and not very powerful, but...this matter is less and less like what CUU calls a'farce'."

Evaluation of the old man Passy Sutton.

"That's it for the time being, I want to sleep for a while." Song Ya didn't respond to him, squeezing out smiles at Mariah Carey who was standing by the wall and silently walked into the guest room.

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

"Your situation is a bit bad, APLUS." Mariah Carey's agent Sandy Glen said: "Our friends in Hollywood have tried their best to help."

"I know that I will thank them when I look back, and you also help me call Mr. Geffen."

Hollywood tycoons basically hate Dan Burton and Jesse Helms. Same-sex brotherhood tycoons Sandy Glen and David Geffen are especially so, but this love Songya must bear.

"Well, don't worry, we are on one side." Sandy Glen nodded.

On time, Sloan pressed the TV remote control to switch to the Comcast Free Channel where the A+CN Evening News was located. He still did not convince Gordon.

"Charlotte's family of the black man who died for innocence has not yet received a fair response from the local law enforcement agency. We appeal again..."

Gordon is still broadcasting the news in his signature voice.

"Fxxk!" Song Ya was furious about the matter in front of Mariah Carey and Sandy Glen, and calmed down his emotions with his hands covering his face. "If you find a fixed phone, use the TV station." He whispered. Order Hamlin.

"Gordon, you're playing with fire, do you know what you're doing!?" Song Ya couldn't bear it anymore, and went directly to the electric scolding after watching the evening news.

"You should fight those people firmly, otherwise, why should people think of you as their own?" Gordon was also very emotional, and he asked, "So why are you buying the media and getting the news station? Retreat if you receive a little threat from a politician? Then why do you join the trade? I'll resign too!"

"I need influence, not trouble!"

Song Ya was filled with lawsuits by this guy, "If I spend so much money on the black community and it ends up like this, then 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 KKK at all. Sorry, APLUS, you can fire me as much as you can, or I can resign at a chance." Gordon is very determined.

"I'm not talking about this." According to Sloan's instructions, Song Ya firmly will not admit that his remarks are related to specific events on the phone, otherwise it would be worse if Gordon secretly recorded evidence.

"Let me do it, boss, your enemies are dying old guys." Gordon persuaded.

"So you are not going to accept my opinion?" Song Ya took a deep breath and asked.

"I act according to my conscience."

"Fxxk! You incompetent guy, if you really have a conscience, you shouldn't make A+CN like this. I sprinkled tens of millions on this TV station. In the end, you didn't make money and you got a shit?"

"TV station is a very long-term business. You can't do well with this kind of mentality."

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

I was roaring, "click", the landline plug was directly pressed by Sloan, "He has made the choice APLUS, what use is it now? Why don't you think about what you plan to do next?"

"your advice?"

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

"Of course I know, I don't fire him."

Song Ya dialed another phone call, "He eats mine and wears mine and dares to play with me personality, then I will fight for the loss of interests and teach him a profound lesson!"

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

"No, I came up with an idea in bed in the afternoon." Song Ya did not directly answer: "I am APLUS, please help Mr. Roberts."

"Little Roberts of Comcast?" Sloan asked, "You didn't discuss with us, don't be impulsive about APLUS."

"I have no urge."

The call was transferred to the boss of Comcast, "Hey, Mr. Roberts, I haven’t talked for a long time. What? I have a new idea... In this way, I know that the ratings of A+CN have caused a lot of Big trouble, is there still a period of time before your free channel promotion resources expire? Haha... guess what? I feel that these help is of little significance to A+CN, so just move all the columns of A+CN to How about paid channel 88?"

Sloan heard the eyes light up.

"I know, I know it hasn't been activated yet, but it's a good thing for you, isn't it? You can give the resources to the next channel to be promoted, me? I accept my fate... Yes, I don't feel much effect, A+CN That's it. It might be better to switch to Channel 88 early, at least you can charge earlier."

"No... The ten million promotion plan does not need to be advanced. It's okay. I can bear the audience loss during this period. It is nothing more than losing a little more money... Just as a redemption for A+CN not meeting our cooperation expectations. Okay. Haha, whatever you think? Do you agree? That's it for now? Well, okay, I'll let the lawyer go to you tomorrow. We're settled? Great!"

"Finish!" Song Ya hung up.

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

Esloan’s dexterity can of course be reflected, "It means that there will be no audiences at A+CN during the time difference before the 10 million promotion plan. No matter how Gordon performs, it is equivalent to achieving our goal. "

"Yes, I am the boss. I don’t bother to spend too much time and energy arguing with the senior executives. Gordon wants to play stubbornly with me. Well, I just turn off his stubbornness directly at the higher channel resource level. Get in the cage!"

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