Going Into the World!

At first, I naively thought that if American Idol wins, the cable makers would come in with a soft bow. Seeing as how it's causing a massive surge, it's probably causing some kind of illusion. I think I just misled the human mind for a second. Of course, I had no knowledge of this field.
With the top five cable companies in control of 70% of the market, only the top four Cox channels have signed up, although those larger than small cable companies should accept the 'JNet’ package channel. The rest of them were only contacted by the Practice Department because they were full.
"What's going on here? When I first reported, I thought at least the top three to five companies were going straight to the top, right?"
"I'm sorry. Chairman."
Suddenly, I shouted loudly, and Harper standing in front of me froze as if he was holding his hands together and in a calm posture. Maybe my intestinal organs were stretched out without me knowing it. However, when I looked at his cold sweaty face, I thought I was sorry.
"Have a seat over there. I'm not asking you to be a tree. But it's not just the American Idol that's going on right now. You have to sell the package when you're in a good mood, or you have to wait another season, or you have to wait for the program to be faithful."
That's what I'm worried about. Now that American Idol is causing a thunderstorm, they have a triple set package on Cox Channel, which leaves only five broadcasts. When this is over, competitors will want to negotiate slowly. It's because I don't have any channels that are particularly tempting yet.
Turner created J-Music Nets and J-Mobi Nets, but no matter how experienced the producers were, how many channels needed to be nutritious in a month?
At least 'J Music Net' is better, because there are a lot of good singers in Johnstone (formerly Warner Music), so I was secretly encouraged to appear and maintain the format and quality falling to 'stars'. JMovie Net is just ordinary. There are not many channels that don't play movies, so there is no discrimination.
"I'm sorry, but the charter cable itself is a mess," he said. I don't think I'll be able to increase or enhance my new channel due to internal issues. "
"Hm. I know it's a problem with the deficit, but you're out of your mind. What does that even mean? Do you have any other news?"
The third-place charter cable dropped its stock price below a dollar last year, so now it's about 90 cents? It belongs to Penny stock (cheap shares inside and outside of $1). A company that was over $10 billion just two years ago has now shrunk to over $500 million.
"There seems to be a gap in the planning and marketing sector as the company's executives have been moving away recently. Intelligence says everyone is floating from the president to the end, so it's just a matter of a day, so it's not a matter of interest to our channel package."
"Is it that bad? Why do you think it gets worse every time you get a report? But it's amazing how long it lasts."
It's like a diagnosis that you can't cover your pee because it's completely groggy. Still, number four cable company... employees who don't know where else to go in the damn company are abnormal. Rabbits don't matter to them, American Idol. Phew.
"Rumor has it Allen, the Grand Master, is holding out with his pride. The data from the information team seems to be correct."
"Yes? What does that even mean? Alan's pride?"
You question Harper's words as if you knew something. It's a vague condition that comes with the senses, but the head doesn't understand.
"He doesn't want to show his ego that he failed. I want to save her somehow, but I think she's letting go because there's no special way. As a creditor or investor," Is Alan...? 'I'm doing it. "
What about Alan here? Not the famous movie actor and director, Woody Allen, but Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.
The majority shareholder of the charter cable is Paul Allen, who bought the company's shares in '98 as a mid-size cable company and began to get involved in management.
No one else and co-founder of Microsoft. And at this point, Microsoft's stock price went up in the sky, so it must have been a lot of money and went shopping for another cable company. Of course, the company quickly grew.
You buy something with your money and it grows. I'm not saying it doesn't. I've been reported to have received several such awards, 'Fast Growing Company of the Year!' It's a little strange to call it high speed growth, but I've also received a lot of praise.
However, a company this big cannot be strong in the interior. It must have been hard to keep up with the competition between IT bubbles and blood-splattering cable companies until satellite TV came along. It was hard for everyone to see, but I think they were a little worse.
Last year, I found out that I had been doing book manipulation to cheat the number of subscribers, so I had a big problem with the stock price falling, but I thought it was quiet for a while and I was still confused.
"I understand. If Alan steps out, his pride will hurt him. She won several awards for growing well, and now if she comes and ruins it, she'll hurt her face. Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
I kicked my tongue out of my head. Alan must have invested more than $6.5 billion in this company, and he forgot all about it. I would quit if I wanted to, but so far I have made a huge dent in my reputation as a 'successful' entrepreneur. His pride won't be easy to give up. It may be more unbearable for Alan, who has more money to lose, to damage his reputation.
"Let's just say it's wrong to expect anything from a house on fire. If your situation is tomorrow, I don't expect you to buy our package right now. So what about Adelphia, the top five? Don't tell me that's the only place that's worth dying for, too."
"Yes?! It's actually..."
"So are you sure you want to mess up there?"
Seeing Harper writhing, I heard his voice again without knowing it. You think they have the same problem?
"Adelpia is struggling with money, too. It looks like your owner is holding out, but he's going to file for bankruptcy. I'm sorry."
Shit, I can hear another man's outfit bursting in here. They also suffer because they don't have any money, but they don't seem to have the right price to sell the package channel.
I talked to Harper a little more and sent him away. I would like to ask other companies to buy JNet, but I can't send individual channels to other companies because I have already decided not to give an unfair discount when contracting with Cox and SMEs. Contracts are so complicated.
"I thought Warner cables were a mess, but it turns out he's a pretty decent guy on the floor, right? This is absurd..."
Leaning against the chair, I look out the window and roll my head, I suddenly think. Compared to the other two companies, I was still proud that I bought well. Moreover, companies such as charter cables cover areas that are relatively easy to penetrate, whereas Johnstone cables are exclusive to many areas and are relatively competitive. It turned out that the top 1, 2 companies had all the good seats.
By the way, I don't think I'm the only one who's good at business. No matter how good the American Idol is, others are standing on the edge of the cliff, making negotiations impossible.
"Thomas, aren't you busy?"
I called Thomas to get more information about the status of the competitors. He's not busy doing what he likes more than half the day.
Especially nowadays, it's a little out of server addiction, falling into a satellite tripod. As there are constraints on total server usage, satellite usage is also being watched by me politely.
"I'm always busy, what's going on?"
"Man, I know you're busy with your work. Turn the servers around and pull up charters, Adelphia cables. Let me know if there's anything unusual."
"Okay, I'll find out soon enough."
Thomas answered me happily. Somehow, I continued to play and felt a little sorry. According to some, he spends most of his time satisfying his curiosity these days. But he's my right-hand man, and I need that kind of freedom.
"What are you studying these days?"
Research must be playing some shit. Heave-ho.
"Haha, just stuff like that... Ah, right. I've got everything you asked for."
"What did I ask for?"
It doesn't look like it's on the phone, but my question reminds me of a scratch on his head, and he suddenly remembers what he prepared for me. And I have no memory of that at all.
"The satellite shield! I thought you said Murdock needed it when he bought Direct TV last year. According to the paper, it was acquired last month."
"What? You got that ready?"
I grabbed the piece from that side of the memory. Satellite S.H.I.E.L.D. was issued as a threat when they called Murdock last year to acquire the L.A. Dodgers. Just as a musical shield prevents illegal music downloads, it is a technique that shuts down illegal viewers with satellite shields, which in fact was not developed at that time.
I didn't sign the supply agreement with Murdoch, I just said I wouldn't exclusive it elsewhere later, but I forgot this option when I was thinking about buying the cable business. Do you think I'm crazy for filling your pockets?
"I told you to get it ready, right? Wasn't it?"
Thomas said, "Why are you doing this? 'There is a tone of complaint. Dude, when did I say no? I didn't say anything serious. You still have to give me a compliment.
"That's right. Well done. You'll have to demonstrate later. Of course it works, right?"
"Haha. Of course."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Thomas' words. He's already set up a satellite shield service.
On second thought, the service did not directly affect the competition between the Johnstone cable network and satellite TV.
Killing illegal users with satellite shields will increase the number of subscribers on satellite TV, but less subscribers on the Johnstone cable? That's a rather hasty conclusion.
I told Polo to hit the service on Dish network satellite TV through Johnston consulting right away. Harper also asked us to work with Polo to export our tri-set packages through the Dish Network, and the Dish Network has 12 million subscribers.
"John, I got what you asked for. I've been doing this all day."
I called Thomas the other morning, and he came up to my office in the afternoon to tell me that he had the materials ready. Now that there are a lot of servers and programs are smarter, all you can do is just ask for the day, and that's the end of the investigation. Thomas says he's researched really hard, imitating the sweat on his forehead.
"Is this for real?!
Charter Cable
Under $500 Million Last Quarter, Estimated to Under $20-25 Billion Years
The total debt is estimated at $20 billion and publicly announced at $10 billion
Board of Directors, Chairman Allen, Business Conflict
Upcoming resignation of current CEO
Adelphia Cable
Chairman John Rigas: Using accounting programs
Presidential family funds embezzlement estimated at billions of dollars
Ex-financial director. Threatening to expose his family.
The report you handed me contains some surprising details.
The branch deficit and total debt of charter cables is much greater than is known in the market. These guys were probably lying. And Alan and the board are fighting each other? And the CEO's getting ready to run? What the hell kind of company is this?
What about the Adelphia cables? These guys need another drink. The Chairman's family cheated, and they even built a program. Ugh, these guys are so organized!
Billions of dollars stolen? And the man who threatens me with it.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh."
The sound of the wind entering your lungs. This floor turned out to be a butthole. Now I understand why they couldn't handle the market situation properly.
Are we really gonna expose this again? Then they're screwed. I promised you I'd stop shopping for a while. Ugh... I'm worried. My pockets are empty too, damn it!!
Artwork Reviews
Yes, as you may have anticipated, most of what happened between the two companies is true. In fact, they both had difficulties with accounting fraud, book manipulation, and so on around 2002.
After relentlessly life-threatening losses, the charter cable filed for bankruptcy in 2009 (later normalized).
Paul Allen quit Chairman in 2010, but why is he so obsessed with this company -- pride or lack of money? According to the Bloomberg Business Week article in 2005, we've lost over six billion dollars, so there's another Turner-like guy here.
The Adelphia cables went bankrupt in 2002, and they were very organized, and they were very bad. A total of 2.3 billion dollars was split between the chairman's father and his boss's son.
How bad was he? 15 years for a father, 20 for a son, both still in prison. Economists don't usually live this long, but these guys... they did things in some way, so, Tsk, tsk...
