Chicago 1990

"Yes, Gordon, we formally signed the divorce through a lawyer yesterday.'

In the A+CN studio on March 12, Song Ya, who has a white shirt and a plain wool cardigan with tears in his eyes, said in a soothing and painful tone: "What I want to clarify in this program is: this is not a story. In a short marriage, I mean... We have been in love for many years. During this wonderful time, I made many mistakes. Uh, I mean most of the time I made mistakes. We have invested a lot in this relationship. ..."

"It's... what kind of mistake?" Gordon asked.

"Ordinary people make mistakes, I am also an ordinary Gordon..." He pressed his hands on his chest to explain his heart, "Your family is very complete, but you have also experienced it when you were young, we, especially me I'm still very immature. A young man went into a marriage physically and mentally without learning how to get along with another person..."

"You mean... you are sorry for your wife, uh ex-wife."

"Yes, I'm sorry for her, Mimi, if you are watching this show, I want to repeat it again, I'm sorry for you, really, really, very sorry..."

He seemed to have a nervous breakdown while looking directly at the camera, and quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "I'm sorry." Then he choked and apologized and then blocked his face with his hands, his body twitched because of silent sobbing.

"Hey!"

Gordon let out a long sigh, gestured to the photographer, got up and walked over to caress the boss's back, comforting in a low voice: "Everything has passed APLUS."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"The recording is over? Will this paragraph be the last?" Song Ya looked up, staring innocently at the camera and on-site staff.

"Yes, at the end of the program, the subtitles will be typed simultaneously, and the effect should be good." Gordon replied.

"Oh. Taraji!"

He stood up in twos and took off his shirt and cardigan, and replaced it with the comfortable long-sleeved T-shirt and mobile phone that Taraji had handed over. "This is the studio that Oprah has used for the talk show?" Then he looked like He quickly returned text messages with his hands like nothing else, and walked around in the studio.

"Uh... yes."

Gordon was a little caught off guard by the boss' emotional switch, so he had to follow him and introduce: "Oprah stayed here for a long time, before she moved her career to California."

"It feels like the equipment is a bit old..."

Song Yaxin walked out of the studio and walked around with interest. This is the former site of Oprah’s Harp Studio in Chicago, near Chicago’s West Side. It is currently owned by Harp Entertainment under her management. After the capital intervened, she moved to California, and at the same time lost the majority stake in Harp Entertainment, but still firmly controlled the right to operate. In addition to the studio, this studio also includes affiliated studios, radio stations, editing rooms, and recording studios. Room and so on.

The reason why Oprah was included in the 399th place at the end of the All-Metric Rich List with a net worth of 340 million yuan in 1995 was a great help from this group of well-equipped studios.

"After all, it is a news and talk show studio that has been used for a long time. The facilities are more complete than our new place." Gordon commented: "Currently, nearly one-third of A+CN's programs are produced here, Oprah Gave us a very favorable price."

"Thank her for me." This is indeed a great help, although Gordon negotiated it alone on the basis of old friendship. "But soon you can move to our new production center. Today, A+CN said Ten million promotion costs will be in place, and you can relax a little."

"That's great."

Gordon was very happy. The two walked all the way to the vicinity of the studio. "I heard Oprah also plans to make a movie?" Song Ya saw that some staff members were busy.

"Yes, before fluttering high, Connie Mayfuler's adaptation, small production, female subjects she is familiar with." Gordon said: "Most of the indoor scenes will be shot here."

"I received an offer for Gordon, from Harp Entertainment. They offered a price of 10 million for 50% of A+CN's shares." Song Ya suddenly mentioned lightly.

"Please trust me, APLUS."

Gordon immediately dismissed, "Maybe my move of borrowing the studio caused some of their associations, but I definitely did not mention the internal situation of A+CN with Oprah, and she is not the kind of person who takes advantage of the fire. You know. Harp Entertainment is not alone in her decision."

"Don't mind, Gordon, I'm just asking."

Song Ya smiled and waved to an approaching car, "Wow, oh oh oh oh, welcome three beautiful women..."

The Governor’s wife with beautiful chestnut long hair got out of the car first, and then Ms. Sloan and the driving Jin Wexler, both of whom were blond, Sloan’s long hair was slightly red, and three white career elite women Coming from a distance with a file bag, it is indeed a beautiful scenery.

Gordon rolled his eyes secretly.

The governor’s wife represents Flock and Argus Law Firm, Golden Wexler who oversees the use of money represents Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm, as well as her own political adviser and public relations Sloan, and O'Grady of Northern Trust And Comcast’s representatives arrived afterwards. Together with Gordon and A+CN’s senior management, Song Ya coordinated with them to have a meeting soon and transfer 10 million to A+CN’s account.

The most entangled problem for the management is how to accurately push the one-year free subscription to the black middle class. The advertising also depends on the effect. Those urban poor will not renew the subscription in the second year after watching the channel for free for one year. Only the black middle class. The class can afford the niche 24-hour news channel of the ethnic group.

However, the living environment of the black middle class has long been very different. Before apartheid was lifted, no matter how successful these elites were in their careers, they would not be able to get out of the settlements that were allocated to black people. Among the activities of ethnic groups fighting for their interests, they also benefited most in the civil rights movement.

However, after apartheid was lifted, these'top people' chose to flee from their own ethnic neighborhoods lacking various basic services, and lived in suburban communities with better public security and educational resources, as well as white people, which made the black groups in the city. He instantly lost the leadership of his own elite, and quickly slipped into the abyss of corruption and the proliferation of public security.

Therefore, A+CN is now facing a problem, how to accurately deliver the costly marketing methods to the target population, instead of randomly spreading it to the urban black community, that is useless.

Song Ya's fan groups also did not overlap and could not help. Only to give Gordon another chance, he put forward some feasible solutions at the meeting.

"Gordon, how would you interpret the commander's new action on the news tonight."

Today is also the day when the Helmsburton Act was approved by the General Commander. It was exactly one week before the Senate and House of Representatives passed the high votes. The representative of Comcast asked that he was more concerned about this matter.

"This bill is not well operative. I noticed that in addition to Cuba’s traditional allies, European countries, especially France, have opposed fiercely. There are also Canada in the north and Mexico in the south. They claim that we have violated international law and must be resolute. Countermeasures."

Gordon said.

"Yes, they all have companies that cooperate with Cuba, large multinational companies." Sloan said: "The commander seems to have been stimulated by something. This behavior is a bit unwise. At least it will delay for a while. First, coordinate with countries."

"Have you heard any rumors in Washington?" Gordon asked her about the news.

"No." Sloan shrugged. "Aren't you busy with someone's divorce case recently..."

Song Ya followed them and laughed. Sloan was really keen, because Underwood had secretly revealed to himself when he returned to the Chicago auxiliary election a few days ago that the commander was almost ambushed by a roadside bomb in the Philippines last month. Furious at the intelligence services, it seems that they have begun to become very hostile to the traditional enemies of America, even though it is rumored that the operation was planned by a terrorist organization in the Middle East and could not fight Cuba.

This news has been suppressed. There are very few people in the media who know about it, and of course I don’t know it.

"APLUS, chat alone." Seeing that O'Grady had entered the post-meeting chat stage, he pulled Song Ya outside, "Did you and Old Barn meet again?"

"No."

Song Ya truthfully replied that when he was busy dividing the property for divorce these days, the pastor of the church where Old Barn was calling called. He said he had misunderstood what he meant. His amateur choir needed help referring to him. The music superstars personally help, rather than sending two so-called professionals over, because the churches funded by the old money all the year round don’t lack the money for hiring people, so those old white men and old ladies should not let their neighbors use this to point them behind their backs. point.

Therefore, the other party only needs to go in person to have face, otherwise it is better not to send people. Easter is approaching, and it is a big deal for them to sing the strange grace that is simple and familiar.

"A group of old money that is hard to serve." Song Ya commented on O'Grady.

"It turned out to be so, it was really a bit troublesome." O'Grady also agreed with him.

"APLUS." Alicia also came out of the conference room, and she gestured towards this side.

"coming."
