Blooming America

Bob Magnes' face was a little ugly.

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

But at this time, the ARK Group appeared in front of them.

"Although you own the fourth-largest cable television network in the United States, I have to say that you don't even have 1 million users, and your financial situation may continue to deteriorate, right? Faced with such a situation, you absolutely deal with it. not good……"

Hearing Catherine's words, Magnis' face became even more ugly. Due to the excessive pursuit of the speed of expansion, it is on the brink of desperation, and it is impossible to live by itself, that's how it is said.

——It's just that compared to the history, the current one has entered a desperate situation earlier, and the culprit of all this is undoubtedly the ARK Group. Because of the emergence of dazzling TV sets, Magnis estimated that the TV market might accelerate development, 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 unimaginable.

Sophisticated Magnese has decided to quit and hire a new manager to replace the company.

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

For, Catherine is determined to win.

Magnesia, a former cotton seed dealer and rancher, has used Texas' geopolitical vacillation, bold desperation, and large amounts of debt in the past two decades to make the construction the fourth in the United States. Large cable television network operator.

In the 1940s and 1950s, most TV programs in the United States used over-the-air television to receive signals, but the result was often very blurry pictures. In order to adjust a picture, people had to adjust the TV frequency repeatedly. But Magnese came up with a trick-to use the huge lines set up in the mountains and use the lines to spread the signal in a wired way, so that the TV program can be clear and the picture quality is good.

Relying on this technology, Magnesia has become a leader in the field of television communication.

"If the capital chain collapses, I think you know what the outcome will be, right?"

At this moment, there is no such thing as John Malone, who is able to put the US president on the ground, so it should not be very difficult to acquire this company. Magnesia has more than enough energy, but what can he do?

John Malone is definitely a strong man, but Catherine is not interested in the largest landlord and commercial rascal in the United States, but valued the customers he has and his stickiness.

It may seem difficult to prevent Japanese manufacturers from entering the US market, but if you rely on the power from the source, it will be different.

Control a company like this, and then integrate it with its own triple play plan. Although Catherine does not plan to involve the wired telephone business, the integration of the TV network and the Internet is imperative.

As if she was a big devil who tempted people’s souls, Catherine laughed: "However, working with our ARK Group is different. We have a very wide-spread Internet, and it’s not a problem to transmit TV. The important thing is that we already have more than 3 million customers. On the other hand, our Angel Beats and other TV stations are even more influential..."

Magnesia, who was completely seen through, did not agree so simply: "In that case, do you just need a shell? A shell used to enter our TV operation industry, but I think the value of our possession is far Much bigger than this. I am not optimistic about your acquisition and merger plan."

It’s no longer enough if you don’t buy it. After you pass this village, there will be no such shop. If it really closes by then, Magnis’ efforts will be wasted.

But since it wants to sell, it must be sold at a good price...

"Yes, that's why I fell in love with it, not other companies."

The shell is very important for Catherine who wants to enter this industry. Moreover, the existing operating model is also a good reference for Catherine. If it is other small companies, Catherine will not look good, that is, similar companies, Catherine is interested.

At this time, it has not yet been listed, so all the decision-making power lies with Magnis, as long as he is dealt with, everything will be fine.

Without Catherine's intervention, in a few years, Magnesia, who has already felt powerless, would hire the dazzling John Malone-of course, the other party is still in charge of General Instruments.

John Malone was much more difficult to deal with than the Magnesian in front of him. It took John Malone for more than two decades to abruptly pull the position of the second cable operator in the United States in the face of a crisis, with an annual profit of more than 7 billion, and John Malone himself has become the number one in the United States. The big landlord-more than 8,900 square kilometers of land, which is larger than half of Beijing (the area directly under the central government)

Although Malone is not well-known himself, his opponents are always much more famous than Malone himself. In addition to Murdoch, his opponent list also includes Redstone and Bill Gates, and even U.S. President Al Gore. In different periods and in different fields, these people have been the defeats of Malone. In addition, the AT※T company has also been tricked by Malone. In 1998, it was sold to AT※T at a high price of 48 billion U.S. dollars. It was also officially because of this acquisition that led to the decline after AT※T.

No progress has been made in the negotiations this time, and Magnis will never sell without sufficient benefits.

However, this does not affect Catherine's actions.

On September 20th, Angel Beat Entertainment TV, Angel Beat News TV and Tianshi Beat Shopping Channel also announced that the program will be distributed through the Internet. As long as you buy a TV card with a dedicated processing function, you can receive it. Such a show.

Digital TV is of course impossible. In fact, this is a way of broadcasting using analog signals. First, the analog signal is converted into a digital signal through a digital-to-analog converter, and then the optical cable is used for transmission. Finally, after access, the digital-analog is used. The converter performs the conversion, and the analog signal can be obtained. By using the screening function of the TV card, a complete TV program can be obtained. The photoelectric converters and digital-to-analog converters developed by the University of California have been used by Catherine for a long time, and now they happen to play a role.

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

just……

"The response was a bit unsatisfactory..." Lying on the sofa, Catherine sighed leisurely.

The sales of TV cards are very average. Although Catherine is mentally prepared, this new product seems to have no response at all.

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

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just a plug-in to the Internet, and for those with 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 bit... uh... not expected."

The TV card enters the market as if it is a very common expansion component, and then there is no news.

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

In a sense, this is a failed product and a failed idea.

(The only thing I should be grateful for is that this product is really a failure... It failed so much that there is no chance of being attacked...)

If other products fail, perhaps IBM and Motorola will create public opinion and slander Catherine's products. But this TV card has no response at all...Because it is so common, it doesn't even have the qualifications to be noticed...

"Ah... probably related to the lack of publicity?"

Although there was a TV card for a long time, Catherine wanted to launch it at the same time as the cloud system. However, because of negotiations, Catherine put the product into the market ahead of time. But the effect is very...not satisfactory.

——In fact, there have long been devices on the market that use digital-to-analog conversion to watch TV with a monitor. This product by Catherine seems to be really superfluous.

However, the negotiations with Magnesia over there have made progress, Magnesia finally relieved, and the ARK Group soon reached a complete acquisition plan.

It's just that Catherine will not hire John Malone as in history.

This person is completely regarded as a tool and a prop for his own success. Although it did develop in the future, when it was time to make a move, he did not hesitate to sell it to AT※T. Catherine could not trust such a person~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The group is facing comparable enemies now The original is too much. Who knows that this character is not good, and whether the guy called the "mafia" will betray himself?

The most important thing is that this man is so successful, and Catherine does not know him-this is different from Sanders. Although she didn't know such a person, Catherine was not at ease with this person from the future situation.

So Catherine decided to let her freedom go. If the other party ran over as they did in history, Catherine would naturally not fail to agree, but Catherine would never go look for this person on purpose.

"So be it……"

(Sure enough, you still need to take out the big killer of the cloud system...)

Only the Internet, a big killer, can change everything. The triple play is just a trick of Catherine.

...

If there is one more thing, I have to wait until tomorrow, and suddenly realize that I still have a lot of homework left...
