Bob Magness's face looked a little ugly.

However, their company's financial situation has begun to face difficulties, and now the only way to solve this dilemma is to go public.

But it happened that at this moment, Ark Group appeared in front of them.

"Although you TCI owns the fourth largest cable TV network in the United States, I have to say that you don't even have 1 million users, and your financial situation is probably continuing to deteriorate, right? Faced with such a situation, you TCI is

It will definitely not be handled well..."

Hearing Catherine's words, Magnis's face became even more ugly. Due to the excessive pursuit of expansion speed, TCI was on the verge of desperation and had brought trouble to itself. That's what he said.

——It’s just that compared to history, the current TCI has entered a desperate situation earlier, and the culprit of all this is undoubtedly the Ark Group. Because of the emergence of Dazzling TV, Magness estimated that the TV

The market might be accelerating, so he increased his investment.

But accidentally, excessive expansion caused problems in the company's capital chain. Once the capital chain breaks, the consequences will be disastrous.

The sophisticated Magennis has decided to quit and hire a new manager to run the company in his place.

However, at this time, the Ark Group came out.

Catherine is determined to win TCI.

Magness, a former cotton seed merchant and rancher, has spent the past two decades taking advantage of Texas' geopolitical woes, bold bets and massive debt to build TCI into the nation's first

Four major cable television network operators.

Because in the 1940s and 1950s, most American TV programs used wireless TVs to receive signals, but the result was that the pictures were often very blurry. In order to adjust a picture, people had to repeatedly adjust the TV frequency. But microphones

Gurness came up with a trick - to use huge lines set up in the mountains and use the lines to spread the signals in a wired manner. In this way, the TV programs can be made clear and the picture quality is good.

Relying on this technology, Magness became a leader in the field of television communication.

"If TCI's capital chain collapses, I think you also know what will happen to TCI, right?"

At this moment, TCI does not yet have John Malone, the rebel who can bring down the President of the United States, so it should not be difficult to acquire this company. Magnis has more than enough to do, so what can he do?

John Malone is definitely a strong man, but Catherine is not interested in the largest landowner and business gangster in the United States, but in the customers TCI has and its stickiness.

It seems difficult to prevent Japanese manufacturers from entering the U.S. market, but if we use the power from the source, it will be different.

Controlling a company like tci and then integrating it with its own triple-network plan, although Catherine does not plan to involve the wireline phone business yet, the integration of the TV network and the Internet is imperative.

As if she was a big devil tempting people's souls, Catherine laughed: "But it's different when we cooperate with Ark Group. We have a widely spread Internet, which is not a problem at all for transmitting TV. In the end,

The important thing is that we already have more than 3 million customers. On the other hand, our TV stations such as Angel Beat are even more influential..."

McGneis, who was completely seen through, did not agree with it so simple: "In this case, you just need a shell? It is used to enter a shell in our TV operation industry, but I think our TCI has the value,

It is much larger than this. I am not optimistic about your acquisition and merger plan. "

It ’s no longer possible to buy it. After this village, there is no shop. If it really goes down, McGnien’ s hard work will be east.

But now that you want to sell, you must sell a good price ...

"Yes, so I saw TCI, not other companies."

The shell of TCI is very important for Catherine who wants to enter this industry. And the operating model that TCI already has it is also a good reference for Catherine.

Eye, that is, companies like TCI, Catherine is interested.

At this time, TCI has not yet been listed, so all the decision -making power is on McGnien in front of me. As long as he is done, everything is good.

Without Catherine interference, a few years later, Magnis, who felt powerless, would invite John Malone, who was against the sky -of course, the other party is still the person in charge of the general instrument company.

It is difficult to deal with more than McGnnis in front of McGnienis in front of me. John Malone has spent more than 20 years, and the TCI facing crisis in crisis has been pulled to the second cable TV operator in the United States.

The annual profit of more than 7 billion, and John Malone himself has also become the largest landlord in the United States -more than 8,900 square kilometers of land, which is larger than half of Beijing (directly under the jurisdiction).

Although Malone himself is not famous, his opponent is always much more famous than Malone himself. In addition to Murdoch, his opponent's list also includes Raystone East and Bill Gates, and even US President Gore Gore.

In different periods and different fields, these people were once defeated by Malone's men. In addition, AT ※ T company was also played by Malone -in 1998, TCI was sold to AT ※ T, TCI was sold to AT ※ T, TCI

It is also officially due to this acquisition, which led to the slump after AT ※ T.

This time the negotiations did not make much progress. Without sufficient benefits, Magnisia would never sell TCI.

However, this does not affect Catherine's movements.

On September 20th, Angel Festival Entertainment TV, Angel Festival Shooting News and Television Station and Tianshi Festival Shopping Channel. At the same time, it was announced that it would spread the program through the Internet.

Such a program.

Digital TV is of course impossible. In fact, this is to use an analog signal to broadcast. First, the analog signal is turned into a digital signal through the digital model converter, and then uses the optical cable to spread. Finally

If the converter is converted, you can get an analog signal. Using the screening function of the TV card, you can get a complete TV show. The photoelectric converter and digital modulus developer developed by the University of California have long been used by Catherine.

Affairs.

Originally, Catherine was planning to apply this function to the cloud system, but she felt it was better to build momentum now.

only……

"The response is somewhat unsatisfactory..." Lying on the sofa, Catherine sighed leisurely.

The sales of TV cards were very average. Although Catherine was mentally prepared, there seemed to be no response at all from this new product.

In Catherine's view, this is just a prelude, but the market doesn't care about this so-called "prelude" at all.

Maybe in other people's eyes, this is just adding a plug-in to the Internet, and for those who have computers, who doesn't have a TV? And this TV card can only watch three programs...

"Is this TV card important?" Elsa asked.

"It's just a little...uh...unexpected."

The TV card is just like a very common expansion component that enters the market without any news.

"Oh, it's just a plug-in, nothing important."

In a sense, it was a failed product and a failed idea.

(The only good thing is that this product was such a failure...so much so that there was no chance of being attacked...)

If other products failed, perhaps IBM and Motorola would create public opinion and badmouth Catherine's products. But this TV card has no response at all... because it is so common, it is not even qualified to be noticed.

…

"Ah... maybe it has something to do with the lack of publicity?"

Although the TV card has been available for a long time, Catherine wanted to launch it at the same time as the cloud system. However, due to negotiations with TCI, Catherine put this product into the market in advance. However, the effect was very...unsatisfactory.

——In fact, there have long been devices on the market that use digital-to-analog conversion to watch TV on monitors. Catherine’s product seems to be doing something similar.

However, the negotiations with Magness over there made progress, Magness finally relaxed, and Ark Group soon reached a plan to completely acquire TCI.

However, Catherine will not hire John Malone as she did in history.

This person completely regarded tci as a tool and a prop for his own success. Although tci did develop in the future, when it was time to take action, he sold tci to at※t without hesitation. Catherine said:

Such a person cannot be trusted. The Ark Group now faces many more enemies than the original TCI. Who knows if this guy with a bad character and is called the "mafia" will betray him?

The most important thing is that this man is so successful, but Catherine does not understand him - this is different from Sanders. Although she does not understand such a person, Catherine does not trust this person based on the future situation.

So Catherine decided to let her go freely. If the other party came over on his own initiative like in history, Catherine would naturally not refuse to agree, but Catherine would never go out of her way to find this person.

"That's it..."

(Sure enough, we still need to use the cloud system as a big killer...)

Only the Internet, a killer, can change everything. The integration of three networks into one is just a trick of Catherine.
