Chicago 1990

"It's Eli."

Song Ya did not leave station A after recording the show. When the outside world was shocked that he had tossed 100 million dollars to win the 757 as a palace in the air, he, Ms. Sloan and Director A, Charlie Skinner were having a closed-door meeting until very much. late.

Litman informed the secret, but Redstone's purchase of a and ace channels may not be him, but Skinner. After all, Litman had nothing to do with Redstone earlier, Skinner. Naze and Redstone are both Jewish.

So he and Sloan wanted to test Skinner's loyalty.

The two were very careful. They didn't talk about any issues about the future of Channel A before. Sloan mainly talked to Skinner about the role of Channel A in the general election. Song Ya himself sat aside and had a silent drink, only occasionally interjecting a word.

Skinner, with white hair, is getting older, showing tiredness as soon as the early morning passes, and has just answered a phone call halfway through.

Skinner didn't say that Song Ya knew who was calling, Peter's chief of staff and campaign manager Eli, Eli's roar came from the receiver, and he could hear a few words from far away.

"Peter is angry at Jones Stewart's spoof today?" Song Ya asked.

"Of course, today is the first time we have treated Mr. Governor like this..."

Skinner smiled bitterly. "They insist on refusing to withdraw and irritate Al Gore's deputy commander team."

"Ok."

Song Ya nodded. The close relationship between himself and Peter cannot be concealed from an old media person like Skinner, although he does not know the specific inside story...

"In short, starting today, we have fully supported the deputy commander to lead the birth. If Peter and Eli are angry, let them get angry."

Today, the deadline he set for Peter has passed, and it is not a few days before the ultimatum of the Silicon Valley tycoons in May, but Peter is still in the air and is still running in Florida.

Song Ya was full of thoughts about this, and there was no arrogance, and there was a lot of pressure.

"By the way, Charlie, what do you think of the future of our two TV stations?"

Sloan felt that Skinner's guard was weak, and took this opportunity to suddenly start to test, "Johnson's bet TV network is about to sell, Viacom and other giants have started bidding, and our Litman media should also participate?"

"Can you afford it?" Skinner was surprised. "I estimate that the transaction price will be around $3 billion, based on the current market value of Litman Media... Do you want to play a snake-like elephant?"

"Let’s first assume that we don’t have to consider money."

Song Ya and Sloan have always cooperated tacitly. As the big boss, he began to beat the drum, "Are you simply analyzing the possibility?"

& Boss Johnson is a **** elephant party, and probably won't sell it to liberal media alliances such as Disney Abbc, AOL Time Warner, etc. Even if he wants to sell, the elephant party will get in the way. The same is true for us. Of course, we have an advantage in that bet is the TV network of African Americans. If you buy aplus, the resistance will be lower and a little bit. The elephant party will still attack with all its strength. You, Ms. Sloan, I, and Jones Stewart are all **** donkey party supporters. After Gordon left bet, he fell into the arms of the liberals. He used the derailment scandal to stigmatize the ultra-conservative Rep. Dan Burton and the elephant. Party House of Representatives leader Newt Gingrich. "

Skinner began to analyze in earnest, "Besides Johnson and other high-level executives, because it is more and more inclined to the entertainment field this year, his middle and lower-level background has long been inclined to liberals. This is in line with Redstone's Viacom cbs The current situation is very similar. Redstone and cbs executives tend to be conservative, but their TV networks and some young employees are also in the liberal camp. If bet is included in Viacom's pocket, it fits best. And Thunderstone Dong started negotiations with Johnson very early... Redstone is almost eighty years old, and as time goes by, sooner or later Viacom and bet will turn to liberals."

Hehe, I'm really helping Redstone to speak. Of course, it is possible that they are actually discussing the matter. Sloan and Song Ya quietly looked at each other, and she asked: "You didn't mention Fox News Group just now."

"They are too conservative to buy a TV network dominated by African descent, and Johnson can't sell it either." Skinner replied.

"What if we plan to find a buyer?"

Sloan is getting closer to the truth, "You know Charlie, the Littman Media Department suffered a heavy loss in the stock market crash. Which of the potential buyers do you think is the most sincere?"

"I never thought about this problem..."

When Skinner heard the news, he opened his mouth and murmured: "We have just moved from Atlanta a few years ago, and many employees have begun to settle in Chicago...Are you planning to sell aplus?"

Did you pretend to have never thought about it? This kind of old fox Song Ya won't let go of his mind just by his facial expressions, "Or that sentence, don't consider other factors first, you just want to analyze the matter and then analyze it?"

"Our range of potential buyers is much wider than bet. First of all, ABC is the old club of McAvoy and I. ABC's 24-hour news station plan just failed to materialize. Now a is gradually doing it and they buy it back. Can make up for the shortcomings. I know that most of your film and record company release affairs are in Disney's hands, and you have a good relationship with Disney's Eisner, Linton, Harvey and others..."

Skinner shook his fingers and counted: "Next is Comcast, which holds the broadcasting rights of our a and ace. It is reasonable for Comcast to deepen its control of its TV stations. Then companies such as Clear Media and other companies won a. It’s also good, they can use this to break into the field of the 24-hour news channel. Redstone’s Viacom...should be willing to buy it. Redstone himself seems to like McAvoy’s hosting style very much. The motto is'content is king', and the hip-hop festival on ace can be seamlessly integrated into Viacom's department..."

"Then aol Time Warner and Microsoft nbc alliance should not need too much overlap between a and bc at present, but it seems that they can't do it. They have strong financial resources, and they are a little bit more willful and normal in playing acquisitions. News Corp...still impossible, Fox subscribers I shouldn’t be happy to see them buying the boss of your TV station. Your film company is still fighting a legal battle with Fox Pictures."

"Ok, I probably understand."

It seemed that his TV station was already considered sweet steamed buns, and Skinner didn't seem to have reached a secret understanding with Lei Shidong, so Song Ya relaxed a little.

"Are you going to sell?" Skinner became worried and persuaded: "Owning these two TV stations, especially a, is very good for your personal influence, boss. You built this place from scratch... He pointed to the a+ Records headquarters building opposite the window. "Remember that this place was a wasteland not long ago. Are you really willing to give up easily when you encounter a little setback? Don't start coveting the boss too early..."

"Hey! I have not benefited much personally."

Song Ya complained, "Most people don't come to me if they want to be on the public relations station A." He automatically ignored that he had made others less troublesome.

"Hehe, I understand, Litman." Skinner smiled. Indeed, many external PRs ran to Litman.

This is also the reason why Litman did not protect the Litman company during the stock market crash, but still chose to inform the public. If a is in the hands of the media tycoon Lei Shidong, what will he be? It is far less comfortable and beautiful than it is now.

At this time, there was another phone call to Skinner, Song Ya took the opportunity to communicate with Sloan quietly, and the two judges were the same. Skinner should have no major problems.

"Brother Daly, the Gore camp intends to use a new campaign strategy to quell the outside world's doubts about the bursting of the Internet bubble."

Skinner answered the phone and reported: "They will use a new language:'Deputy Commander Al Gore has created the current prosperity of the Internet industry. Now this industry has encountered problems, and only Gore can save it if he is elected."

The trouble should end it? Song Ya raised his eyes and thought for a while. It is indeed the case. Now many tycoons in the Internet industry are turning to the loose supervision environment supported by the Elephant Party. The Gore camp reiterated this point to allow them and investors to see the reality clearly.

"Yes, you can do whatever Gore says."

Anyway, Peter is too disappointing, UU reading www. The relationship between uukanshu.com and Gore still needs to be repaired. Song Ya yawned, "It's late, everyone is tired, let's go to rest."

He and Sloan left station A, which is the headquarters of Litman Media.

On the second day, the media from all walks of life unanimously clamored in unison.

a Host Gordon: "Have you ever thought about it? Deputy Commander Gore has created years of prosperity in the Internet industry. Now this industry has encountered some troubles. Who is more suitable than Deputy Commander Gore to lead everyone back in crisis? Who is on the right track? No one, the deputy commander is the only choice."

cuu: "Gore created it and can save it, or you want to destroy it with the votes in your hands. The Internet industry now desperately needs the votes in your hands."

Wired Magazine: "The only candidate is Gore. No one knows the Internet industry better than him. We need him, and he is the only one who can lead us out of the stock market crash..."

abc: "The Texas cowboy George, Jr. will only bring the New York stock market to destruction. There is only one candidate who can restart a new round of prosperity, and that is the current deputy commander, Mr. Gore..."
