American TV series

A 700 million deal. In fact, Sean didn't have to pay that much.

First, Metropolis Media has liabilities, and because Lynch is the majority shareholder, he must bear part of it.

Second, Lynch needs some funds to come in to save the situation, but not as much as 700 million.

If too much capital investment fails to produce benefits, it will be a loss!

Therefore, after some negotiations, Lynch and Sean reached a crude oil purchase agreement.

When neither party knows what the specific trend of crude oil prices will be in the future, it is impossible for Sean to sell at a low price and Lynch to buy at a high price.

Therefore, the two parties stipulated that Sean would be responsible for the supply and settle the accounts once every six months. The price of the settled oil would be 90% of the average crude oil market price every six months.

As the price for purchasing crude oil at a low and stable price, Sean's first payment amount is only US$300 million, and the other US$400 million will be turned into deposits and stored in Sean's bank.

Of course, interest will still be paid.

Lynch is very satisfied with this. Raw materials that are stable and below market prices are more important to him.

You may make a profit, but Sean will never lose!

…

After taking care of Lynch, Sean returned to New Century Media Company without stopping.

In the afternoon, he will also hold a meeting with the company's senior management!

The original operation mode of Capital City was that each local station operates separately. The advantage is that local stations can stand on the local side with a clearer attitude, which makes it easier to win over people's hearts.

On the other hand, national television stations should not be too clear-cut in their attitudes and should try to remain neutral, which would be a bit unpalatable.

Therefore, after Sean takes over the TV station, the operation mode of the TV station will undergo a 180-degree turn!

"First, we need to establish a national television network, New Century Television Network. All users must first activate New Century Television Network. This is a brand new television network."

"Second, the original local TV stations will still be retained and turned into branch stations. For example, the one in New York will become New Century 2, and the one in Los Angeles will become New Century 3, so as to provide users with space for free choice."

"Third, affiliated TV stations. In order to expand the influence of New Century TV, we need more affiliated TV stations. For most local TV stations, their program production capabilities are worrying, which causes them to lose a large number of users during prime time.

, so we can cooperate with them to access our new century programs during prime time, and of course, the advertising fees generated by this segment will belong to us."

"The above is the business strategy of New Century Future. Next, let's talk about the business strategy and direction of our New Century TV Network."

"New Century TV Network is targeting young people as the market. Therefore, at New Century TV, the programs we produce will be more youth-oriented and entertainment-oriented. The programs cover news, entertainment, sports, movies, and TV series. This is basically the same as that of local stations.

There’s not much difference in the way it operates.”

"On the basis of New Century TV, what I want to focus on is another one, New Century 24-hour News Channel."

"This will be a TV channel that broadcasts news non-stop 24 hours a day. We will be based on New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and Seattle and extend to the surrounding areas, while collecting what is happening every moment.

News across the United States is then aggregated by local nodes, and valuable and interesting news is delivered to people across the United States at the same time.”

"In addition, we will simultaneously set up base stations in Canada, South America, Europe, and Asia to collect major events happening around the world at the same time."

"Our goal is to make New Century News the largest, most timely, most comprehensive, most neutral, and most impartial television station in the United States, so that New Century's views can influence people across the United States and even the world."

Sean looked solemn and said in a firm and high-pitched tone: "The new century needs to have the right to speak. The 'justice' defined by the new century is the justice of the world, and the 'evil' defined by the new century is the evil of the whole world!"

As soon as this goal was stated, all New Century Company executives present became excited.

What is this, this is power!

Controls the power to define 'good' and 'evil'.

One of everyone’s dreams!

It is also the ultimate dream pursued by media people!

After everyone calmed down, Sean said: "Of course, this goal is very ambitious, but it is also very difficult. We recognize the difficulties, but we will not back down."

"The establishment of the New Century News Channel does not happen overnight. There is no 24-hour news station yet, and there is no fixed operating model. This model needs to be explored by ourselves."

"First, we will focus on major events happening in the United States. After all, the customer group we are targeting is in the United States, and international events will be auxiliary. The specific proportion is for you to explore slowly."

"As for how this model operates, I mean to do it step by step. In addition, for example, there should not be too many things happening in the United States at the same time. What kind of things are suitable for timely broadcast and what things can be delayed a little. We are still making this choice.

There are no standards, and this can be explored in the operation of New Century Television."

"With so many things happening at the same time, how can we summarize the news in time and produce it into a program in a timely manner?"

"We can first try and adjust with New Century TV and various local TV stations to find problems and improve them. Because of the nature of the news station, once the news station starts broadcasting, we will not have so much room for mistakes."

"Pete, New Century TV is our foundation, and the news station is our sublimation. Do the foundation first, and then think about sublimation. Don't be too hasty on this point."

Peter Chernin nodded heavily, "I understand, don't worry, boss, we will first set up a project team specializing in the production of news programs at the news station. First, we will mainly provide real-time news materials to New Century TV and local stations. When we have a comprehensive

After establishing the operational foundation, we will consider opening a separate news station."

"Well, very good!" Sean nodded, "Let's talk about the next thing. Because we are targeting the young market, sports is an essential program. In the early stage, we will separately purchase the number of live broadcasts of the four major leagues."

"But in the later stage, our New Century will open a separate New Century Sports channel, sign television broadcast contracts with the four major leagues, and provide timely and professional live sports broadcasts and commentary analysis to audiences across the United States 24 hours a day."

"If we want to achieve the above, our foundation is still New Century TV Station. We should try to expand the number of access points of our TV stations. The first step is to complete the coverage of the top 20 cities in the United States. This process should be as short as possible, which can be achieved through mergers and acquisitions.

Finish."

"First get San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, and Miami."

"In this process, our programs must be exciting enough to keep our customers from losing."

"The main way for TV stations to attract viewers is through TV series and variety shows. Let's not talk about TV series for now. Currently, New Century does not have the ability to invest in the production of series. It can be entrusted to Sean Films for production. I said

Let’s talk about variety shows.”

Sean looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "As everyone knows, in addition to being a young, handsome, and dashing rich man, I am also a famous screenwriter!"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

As the boss, of course everyone needs to know about Sean's script writing and filming.

Rich people in the United States, or rich people all over the world, don't like others to say that they are nouveau riche, so many rich people have a tradition of publishing books, participating in sports activities, and artistic activities.

Whether you really understand or pretend to understand, you have to package yourself. For example, Jianguo has participated in many movies, the more famous one being Home Alone.

So it’s not surprising that Sean did this. What’s really surprising is that Sean actually succeeded!

The first "Bank Robbery" exploded at the box office. In "Basic Instinct" released in the past few days, Sharon Stone's thighs have also taken the United States by storm, regardless of gender.

More importantly, the editor of "Basic Instinct" is Sean himself...that's weird!

"I named this variety show "American Idol" and it aims to discover new idols in the American folk music scene."

"First, private auditions will start from all over the United States, and then the contestants from various places will determine the winning and losing rankings. The top five will enter the second stage of the national stage, followed by the semi-finals, revival rounds, finals, and the final national ranking.

To the top five players, we will give them a record contract based on their ranking."

"There are two most attractive parts of this show. The first is the judges. We will hire the best singers in the United States to serve as judges at a high price. We can also invite some who have a bad relationship. The quarrels between the judges will be a big selling point."

Sean smiled and said, "It will be better when we fight."

Everyone burst into laughter. In the past few days, because of Sean's beating of Murdoch, there have been more new users in the new century than in previous years!

This shows the charm of celebrity fights!

"The second one is local forces, such as our players from Houston. Should Houstonians support them and fully mobilize local forces, like this!"

Sean suddenly said loudly in a passionate voice: "Welcome to call the 10086 hotline, give your favorite players your warmest support, cast your vote, you will decide their life or death."

Everyone immediately felt like they had a visceral taste!

"Once it enters the national stage, people from all over the country will definitely activate our New Century TV Network in order to support their idols!"

Compared with the goals mentioned before, this practical method suddenly made everyone see the prospects!

A brand-new, groundbreaking program, in this era when entertainment is still relatively scarce, is bound to become popular across the United States.

"You can discuss the specific production plan, and I will help you revise it in the end." After saying that, Sean looked at Pete, "Pay attention to registering the patent and registering it all over the world. It must be strict enough to prevent other TV stations or countries from plagiarizing it. As long as

The show is so popular that even if we sell the rights in the future, we can make more money."

"must!"

"Okay, the general direction is this. The establishment of the New Century Television Network will be completed simultaneously. When the time comes, it will be a hit and shock the United States!"

"Pa bang bang bang" everyone in the conference room applauded vigorously.

They have been doing TV shows for many years, so everyone can still make a basic judgment on whether Sean's idea is good or not.

It's really novel and really attractive, and that's what makes people admire it.

Before the meeting ended, Sean suddenly said again, "In the next period of time, I will inject hundreds of millions of dollars into New Century for company expansion. Everyone, New Century will move forward bravely. I hope that in a few years,

Years later, I can still see you here.

After the recollection ended, Sean went to Pete's office again and chatted for a while.

"You need to convey what I just said to the directors of the board of directors, and then funds will be injected into the company one after another."

A large part of the reason why I wanted to talk to Lynch about the deferred payment of 400 million was because of this!

He injects capital, and if others want to keep their shareholding ratio unchanged, they must inject capital in proportion, otherwise their shares will be diluted by Sean.

Sean gave the notice in advance, which was considered as a greeting.

Of course, diluting shares is one purpose, leaving enough funds for expansion in the new century is another.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Sean will not let the new century develop slowly. Mergers and acquisitions are the fastest way to expand, but this requires Daole!

Controlling the right to speak and the media is the most important part of Sean's future plan, and Sean will always pay attention to it.

In the evening, there was another grand party, and the fun continued until Sean went back very late.

…

Early the next morning, Sean had breakfast and boarded the booked charter flight, heading for Washington!

Before I went to Lao Sa last time, Lao Bu kept talking about something, and today I'm going to Lao Bu's house to have a good talk.

In addition, Sean also wants to meet his uncle Jay Rockefeller in Washington.

Sean is not involved in politics, so he cannot position himself as a member of the Donkey Party or the Xiang Party. While he has a close relationship with the Lao Bu family of the Xiang Party, he must also express sufficient goodwill to the Donkey Party.

In the public opinion storm triggered by Murdoch this time, many people from the Donkey Party came forward to criticize Sean.

This kind of thing can't happen again next time.

"Uncle Jay!" Sean called him very affectionately as soon as he came up.

"Hello, you don't mind if I call you that, Sean." Jay Rockefeller looked up and down at Sean with curiosity.

Regarding this nephew who suddenly appeared, Jay was half-kind and half-curious.

90 points speechless.

It is difficult for an established aristocrat who, as the eldest son and grandson, received an old-fashioned aristocratic education from childhood to adulthood, is accustomed to being strict and following rules, and is also involved in the political circle, to accept a rising from the bottom, who behaves strangely, without logic, is arrogant and domineering, likes violence, and is addicted to politics.

A murderous guy.

However, this did not stop Jay from smiling and inviting Sean to his home to entertain him warmly.

After all, they are a ‘family’, not to mention, he is also a politician!

They were chatting, making common sense, but Jay very tactfully didn't mention anything about Sean's childhood, and only talked about the past few years.

A few compliments from time to time and chatting made Sean feel like a spring breeze.

No wonder you and your father can't fight against old man David...

This was Sean's inner evaluation. It was too gentle and lacked David's domineering and unconventional energy.

After finishing the extension, Jay mentioned in a roundabout way that some of Sean's actions were contrary to the Donkey Party and caused dissatisfaction among many people in the Party.

"I'm not US Dao Le. It's hard for everyone to like me. I know this very well." Sean looked serious and said firmly: "However, whether they like me or not, there is one thing they must do.

Accept that I will inevitably be active in this period of American history and cannot change it!"

"Uncle Jay can help me convey to them that New Jersey Governor Benny Carville and I have a very good relationship, and we are very happy to cooperate. New Jersey is now owned by the Democrats, and the next term will also be owned by the Democrats."

Jay was made very uncomfortable by Sean's sudden strength, and frowned slightly. He was about to say something, but Sean interrupted him.

"I completed the acquisition of Capital Media and reorganized it into New Century Television Network. In the future, New Century Television Network will change its previous business strategy."

"This acquisition is not the end. New Century will not stop in the future and will increase the acquisition of local limited TV stations. The goal is to become the fourth largest television network and the largest cable television network in the United States."

"As my home base, New Jersey's cable television network will inevitably fall into the hands of New Century, and wireless television will also become an affiliated television station of New Century."

"The TV network is only part of the media group I envision. In the future, it will be a large media group spanning television, newspapers, film and television."

Looking at Sean blankly, Jay opened his mouth but said nothing.

Sean is basically telling the donkey gang through him that the position of governor of New Jersey is in my hands, so please shut up!

Jay had only heard that Sean was behaving erratically, but he only understood what he meant after having personal contact with him.

I am your uncle, my tone is too harsh!

"Hahaha, Uncle Jay, you don't have to worry about those irrelevant things. There is no need." Sean suddenly smiled, "Actually, I don't care what they say. Like I said, I'm not

Daole can't make everyone like me."

"Moreover, if someone doesn't like me and attacks me, this is not a bad thing in my opinion."

"Isn't it a bad thing!?" Jay frowned and looked at Sean in disbelief. This is not a bad thing.

"Of course, it's not surprising. I'm not a politician and I don't need a good reputation." Sean said with a smile: "Actually, I have a clear position for myself."

"I, Sean Rockefeller, am a person who doesn't like to follow the rules, has a bad personality, is impulsive, irritable, lustful, and has a strong desire for revenge."

"I never thought about creating a good image for myself."

"Why?" In the education Jay received, he has always been a gentleman, noble, cultivated, and classy old money person.

"Because a good person will be criticized overwhelmingly if he accidentally does something wrong, even if the thing is not bad, it is very trivial."

"And if a completely bad person suddenly lends a helping hand to a beggar one day, then he will receive all praises." Sean's face was full of ridicule, "So, why should I be a good person?"

Jay was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

Although he didn't want to show any sense of agreement, he had to admit that most of what Sean said was right.

But, he definitely can't be such a bad person and can't pull off that face.

"By the way, Uncle Jay, I came to you to ask you something." Sean said without any hesitation and without any embarrassment: "As you know, I am in the city garbage recycling and cleaning business.

If I want to get this business in West Virginia and Kentucky, I know that Uncle Jay has deep roots in West Virginia, and Kentucky is relatively dominated by the Democratic Party, so..."

"This thing isn't profitable, is it?" Jay wondered why Sean was willing to invest in such a dirty business.

"Of course, I don't make much money, but I also have an advantage. I am a staunch supporter of environmental protection." Sean said with a smile.

Jay made no secret of his disbelief.

Sean shrugged and did not explain. The investment in the garbage recycling business is not high, the income is not large, and the technical content is not high. It is a relatively labor-intensive industry.

In the future, there will be fewer and fewer such industries in the United States...

What Sean likes is the indispensability of garbage collection and the large employee system. Of course, the income is very stable.

Jay didn't find it difficult to help Sean get the garbage recycling business in Kentucky.

After all, he is from his own family. Looking at Sean's attitude, even though he is an illegitimate son, he will definitely play an important role in the family in the future.

In the next generation, I really don’t see anyone who can compete with Sean!

For this reason, Jay must also help.

After talking about business, Jay stayed with Sean for lunch. He originally wanted to keep Sean here to let his son have more contact with Sean.

However, Sean said that he was going to visit Lao Bu's family in the evening, so Jay had no choice but to let him go.

Watching Sean get into the car and the motorcade disappear at the end of the road, Jay sighed softly, turned to his son and said, "You should also go to New York in a few days and live at the Rockefeller Manor."

"Get in touch with people at home more, especially Hayden."

Jay's son is not stupid. He immediately understood what it meant. He was being asked to hug the illegitimate son's lap!!

The corner of his mouth twitched, but he was actually very reluctant.

His family’s lineage is the orthodox inheritance!!

In fact, whether in the East or the West, the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the family business is the same.

No, it should be said that the West cares more about tradition and the natural inheritance rights of the eldest son. In theory, the second son must leave the family.

Go to hell with your freedom...

This is the most fundamental reason why Jay and his son are alienated from the family. Psychologically, they are full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness to accept that David, the fifth son, has obtained the inheritance rights of the family.

It's just that the situation is stronger than the people, and they are dissatisfied, unwilling and helpless.

However, Jay was actually a little gloating about the emergence of Sean, the illegitimate son.

He wanted to see what his fifth uncle David, who had snatched the inheritance rights from his father, would do!

My own family is at best a middle-class talent, but Old Man David's son is not much better.

But, how did Jay know that old man David was very suspicious that Sean was his son...

…

At the door of Lao Bu's house, Xiao Bu's smiling face looked like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. When he saw Sean get out of the car, he ran over three steps at a time and asked in a low voice, somewhat obscenely: "Are you really fucking Yifang?"

Are you up? I heard that you personally ordered the shooting down of that plane!"

"Uh...it's true, but can you stop looking like this?" Sean looked at Xiao Bu speechlessly.

"Take me alone this time, Fake, last time in Cartagena was not fun enough!" Xiao Bu got closer.

Your mother, looking at Xiao Bu's slightly red face, Sean finally realized that this little kid is a warmonger at heart.

No wonder this guy later launched two wars during his term, but his choices were not very wise. In the end, the war was delayed for more than 10 years and could not be ended.

"Has the Presidential Palace decided to let my people go rescue?" Sean understood instantly.

Xiao Bu chuckled, "Let's go in and talk."

After entering the house, Sean gave Boo a friendly hug first, and then hugged Boo and his mother.

After a few words of greeting, we started to eat. At the dinner table, no one talked about business, but the Boo family was very curious about the story between Sean and Murdoch.

Obviously, even the president or future president is very gossipy!

Bagua is the center of the spiritual world!

Sean smiled and told the story again. In fact, after so many days, the matter was still fermenting.

Media outlets owned by Murdoch are still looking for various reasons to ridicule and insult Sean. New Century does not show any weakness, staring at several major newspapers owned by Murdoch all day long.

Any slightly distorted report would be repeatedly refuted with sarcasm, with the words "Look, they eliminated another wrong answer for us" hanging at the end.

Now, many Americans are no longer concerned only with the conflict between Sean and Murdoch.

More people like to watch the two sides quarrel with each other in different ways!

"I have already given an order to the station, asking them to collect a song. The melody should be simple, catchy, and good enough to satirize Murdoch and the tabloids." Sean smiled.

Said: "You will see this advertisement soliciting songs in the next two days. The top three most popular songs will receive bonuses of 100,000, 70,000, and 30,000."

"Pfft, hahahahaha!" Xiaobu had no professional training after all. He turned his head suddenly and spit out a mouthful of rice. He was laughing all over, "Oh my god, you are so awesome. I don't know what to do."

How can I describe you, but I know that Murdoch will be mad!"

"I designed this as a program. Each song has to go through the primary election on the station. After the primary election, it will be broadcast on the TV station. Then the winner of each episode will be selected based on the audience's votes. Then, after entering the next stage

A round of PK will determine the top three!"

"You young people, you are really..." Lao Bu was also dumbfounded. As politicians, they have done a lot of satirizing their opponents, attacking and slandering them, but they have never done anything like specifically collecting a song to satirize their opponents.

.

The most important thing is actually not the song itself, but the matter of collecting songs!

Song collection is always used for positive things.

For example, the song of a certain team, the song of a major game, or the song of a party.

Collecting songs to curse people...

unprecedented!

Not very harmful, but extremely insulting!

"I already feel sad for Murdoch. This is such a poor guy. He might really go crazy." Old Boo shook his head and said with a weird expression.

"It's best not!" Sean looked serious.

Seeing Sean say this, Lao Bu's family looked at him with strange expressions.

"If he goes crazy, then the ratings will plummet in the future, and I will feel bad," Sean said, tilting his head in thought, "Well, I think I should call Murdoch in advance.

Let him be mentally prepared!"

"Pfft, hahahaha", Old Bu couldn't help laughing.

Everyone had a great time at the dinner.

After the meal, in Lao Bu's study, each of us had a cup of coffee and started talking about business.

"You should know that seven years ago, students from the Islamic side surrounded the U.S. Embassy in Iran and detained many diplomats. Although they were later released, we still have hostages in the hands of the Iranian side, who were detained in

Syria, Lebanon, a few journalists.”

Old Bu said with a somewhat ugly face, "With the mid-term elections around the corner, the Donkey Party will definitely take this opportunity to criticize the government's delay in resolving the hostage incident. This makes us very passive."

"I understand that this is how our President Reagan attacked Carter back then." Sean said with a smile: "It's not enough. It shouldn't be difficult to rescue a few reporters. As we all know, the advanced weapons of the military are all American products. After the war,

It has been six years. It is impossible that all aircraft and warships will not need repairs and parts replacement, and the missiles will never be used up."

"Those weapons suppliers have a very close relationship with the Islamic side. It is not easy to get a few hostages back."

After Sean finished speaking, he found that Lao Bu didn't reply. Looking carefully, he found that the boss's face became even more gloomy.

I instinctively felt something bad, and my mind couldn't help but spin rapidly.

Soon, a somewhat bizarre idea came to his mind, "Fuck, Reagan doesn't have a deal with Yifang in private, right?"

"No, Reagan is crazy. The government can never negotiate with those holding hostages. This is a cowardly act!"

"He has personally designated Iran as a terrorist organization and said in public speeches that he will never negotiate with "evil countries" such as Iran and Libya. Is he not afraid of being exposed by his opponents by doing this?"

"How can such a thing be concealed? Even if there is no problem on Reagan's side, who can guarantee that the Donkey Party members will not be able to bribe Yifang!"

"No, no, no, that's for sure. It can definitely be bribed. Why not? They don't have any good impressions of the United States." Sean said with a puzzled look on his face: "Is Reagan crazy? It shouldn't be, he shouldn't be like this.

No brains."

…

I squeezed it out, really squeezed it out, and persisted for more than 40 days.

It has set a record since Huo Huo wrote a book. To be honest, I have never written the best book so diligently.

I was really stimulated by the leaders of the big guys.

However, the results of this book were really bad at the beginning. The first order was 950 and the follow-up order was 700. However, many friends advised me to just cut it off. The results were impossible to write down.

Die poor!

Yan Huo considered that he had just cut a book, and he could not lose his character. He thought that if he persevered, a million words would not be a bad end, and he would be able to give an explanation to the readers.

I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that all the subsequent readers would be so helpful. It can be said that the results have steadily improved, 4 times that of the first order. This is something that Huo Huo did not expect.

Therefore, I was really busy writing this book, and it really drained me dry...

Let me slow down, slow down, update normally these days, 8000.
