Chapter 2223 Heading to the Port (Third)

"Detective Galileo" on the Xiangjiang side is making great strides, and the cable TV station in the United States has also made a good start.

The cable TV station named "Flying Dragon" by Yin Jun also officially started in September.

In addition to broadcasting all kinds of paid sports events and movies purchased with copyright like ordinary cable TV stations, its biggest feature is of course its self-made dramas.

In the past two years, HBO cable TV has also been doing self-made dramas, but it has not been very good.

The main source of their current income is the various content purchased.

But HBO has not given up either. They continue to launch their own TV series and have accumulated a lot of audiences.

Of course, compared to the 40 million subscribers at their peak, the current audience is still very, very small.

Compared with HBO, Feilong cable TV station must be much worse.

Anyway, it is also the number one cable TV station in the United States today. Feilong Cable TV is just newly opened, and of course the number of people is very small.

In fact, the initial number of subscribers, that is, the number of viewers who signed a payment agreement before the official broadcast was very, very small.

For such difficulties, Robert Iger has long been prepared.

He not only launched 12 campaigns to purchase receiving decoders for free, but also announced that every viewer who installed a decoder can watch for free for a week. Return it without spending money.

Relying on such a strategy, the number of viewers who have installed the receiver decoder has reached 100,000.

Then the show began to air.

Those sports programs and old movies are naturally a means of attracting, but the most heavily advertised is the first self-produced series-"Grey's Anatomy".

In order to promote this TV series, ABC has advertised for a full month, and all kinds of wonderful tidbits are uninterrupted.

It's a pity that this kind of simple advertising method has been used by several major TV news networks in the United States, and the effect obtained is not very obvious.

But when "Grey's Anatomy" officially launched, the situation was very different.

This TV series is definitely ranked in the top 20 in the 100-year history of TV series in the United States. The beginning is not so attractive, but after watching three or five episodes, you will be attracted by the content inside.

Guys and girls who are interns, can they deal with the embarrassment of regular doctors, can they deal with so many emergencies, can they withstand difficulties and setbacks again and again... these questions, They will all be circling in the minds of the audience, and they can't let go of them for a long time.

So after the last week of free viewing, there were actually 30,000 viewers who chose to continue to subscribe to watch.

With just such an achievement, Feilong Cable TV has created a miracle!

You know, HBO's first-year payroll numbers don't even reach 5,000.

Even the current hundreds of thousands of people are only after more than ten years of accumulation.

The cable TV station that your family just started can reach 30,000 people, isn't it too exaggerated?

Faced with this proud achievement, Robert Iger is not satisfied. On the one hand, he has actively stepped up efforts to promote preferential activities for taking over decoders across the country, and promoted a week of free viewing activities. On the other hand, through guidance and discussions, Let "Grey's Anatomy" become a hot topic of discussion.

Once a hot spot is formed in the United States, and it is a hot spot that people are arguing about, then there will be attention, and it will be more attractive to subscribe to Feilong Cable TV.

According to Robert Iger's optimistic estimate, by this time next year, the number of subscribers of Feilong Cable TV should exceed 500,000.

Because what they have is not just "Grey's Anatomy". In the next five months, there will be five blockbuster self-made TV series coming out.

October was Mad Men, November was Clairvoyant, December was The Big Bang Theory, January was Orange Is the New Black, and February was Six Feet Under.

With such 6 excellent self-made TV series, Robert Iger can have this confidence.

When Yin Jun thought of this, he asked Zhou Haimei, who was twisting and turning beside him, "Meimei, why don't you go and star in the second part of "Grey's Anatomy" after the Spring Festival? You appeared in the first season , the role is relatively heavy, but it doesn't make you have to act in it all the time! This drama will definitely become a super TV series!"

"No." Zhou Haimei said confidently, "I just finished the disbandment tour. I'm so tired. I have to rest for at least a year and a half. Next year, I will film "Detective Galileo 2" with Brother Ming. It would be a good time to come back at this time. good."

Yin Jun was shocked, "It's been almost a year, what are you resting for?"

"Of course I gave birth to a son for you." Zhou Haimei simply rode on Yin Jun's body, with a pair of bright eyes shining, "Brother Jun, they can't do it, let me break the curse!"

"Snapped!"

Yin Jun immediately slapped her Fat Qiu, "Who told you that it was a curse? I like my daughter very much, okay? In the future, you will give me several daughters in succession, and I will like them all!"

"No, it's better to be the first son." Zhou Haimei bit her lip and leaned down, "Brother Jun, give me a son!"

...

Ruanxiang is naturally excellent, but if he is immersed in Ruanxiang all day long, then this man will have no future.

As a man, you always need to make achievements in your career before you can truly be happy.

For example, those who rely on their little faces to eat, when the women reach the mature stage, and when they get older, their later life will naturally be bleak.

If it is a man who has achieved something in his career, then even when he is old, he can still have beautiful women.

For example, the boss of "Playboy" is in his 70s and 80s and still conquers two women every day. Although it is by taking medicine, it is also very remarkable.

There is also Yin Jun's friend, Hollywood tycoon Lei Shidong, who is in his nineties and has two lovely women to accompany him.

Apart from the power of power and money, other explanations are naturally very weak.

The goal of Yin Jun's struggle is naturally not a woman, but the gift of sending him back to more than 40 years ago in vain, so he must make a career.

Because of this, he still left the gentle hometown of his wives, boarded a private jet, and flew to Western Australia.

Many people don't know that if you fly from Huaguo to Western Australia, the distance is not much less than flying to Los Angeles in the United States.

In 2018, it took 12 hours to fly from Shanghai to Perth in Western Australia, and it took 12 hours to fly to Los Angeles in the United States.

Fortunately, Yin Jun's side is Xiangjiang, and it only takes 10 hours to get to Perth.

On the way, we stopped in Singapore to refuel, and then the plane continued on to Perth.

This made Yin Jun sigh a little, it is time to buy another aircraft with a super large battery life, at least to the limit of about 15 hours.

Otherwise, it is also a waste of time to always stop and refuel halfway.

Perth is not the destination of Yin Jun's trip.

He and Ye Linqinwa got into the Rand Cruiser convoy, and the group headed directly to Wickham Harbor in the northwest.

After the whole 7-hour drive, I finally arrived here.

Today's Wickham Harbor is completely different from what it was three years ago.

Within a radius of 20 kilometers, there is an extremely developed road traffic network, which connects the Karasa and Robin areas below.

In the future, it will continue to expand outwards, and strive for the road traffic network to reach a distance of 50 kilometers.

Along the way, there are still many farms here. Looking at the logo of the Qilin Group, you know that these are all properties under the Wankang Company.

It is the family members of the employees of Wankang Company who grow vegetables, fruits and vegetables here, as well as raise livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep.

These agricultural products are basically supplied to the Wickham area.

Because the current resident population of Wickham has changed from more than 400 people before to nearly 10,000 people now.

Half of them are employees from Wankang Company, and the rest, besides the locals, are Australians who migrated with their families from nearby villages and towns.

In this way, almost 5,000 people are young and strong labor force.

Some of them are responsible for driving various vehicles, shoveling the coal mines transported here into the large pit of the conveyor belt leading directly to the wharf, and then continuously conveying it to the cabin of the iron ore ship by the conveyor belt.

There are also some people who are responsible for various cleaning, maintenance, refueling and so on of the ship.

There is also a part responsible for the maintenance of the entire port.

What is left is some food, clothing and housing for daily life. There are already two streets here, mostly bars and hotels, and there are some special commodities for the crew to choose from.

On average, three or four iron ore ships enter the port every week. If the weather is bad, there will be more crew members staying here.

Once there are more people, consumption will increase greatly, and the income of the people in Wickham will naturally increase accordingly.

All in all, Wickham is full of vitality now, and everyone can earn money from port transportation. It's a bit like relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.

This is a hundred kilometers nearby, which has never happened before.

It is precisely because of such a big rush that this time there was a part of the railway in the middle, and when they encountered cross-border problems, their group of people also panicked and hurriedly protested in groups.

After all, if the iron ore transport by iron wheels cannot be carried out, Wickham Harbor will be completely useless, and they will have to return to their previous lifeless living conditions.

This makes them who have already tasted the sweetness, how willing?

It was also with their help that Wei Li was able to solve the troubles of the railway crossing the border relatively easily, avoiding delaying the entire strategic plan.
