Chapter 1380 He Created, He Saved

"It's Eli."

Song Ya did not leave Channel A after recording the show. When the outside world was amazed that he had spent 100 million dollars and won the 757 as a sky palace, he, Ms. Sloan, and Channel A director Charlie Skinner were having a closed-door meeting until very late. Night.

Littman informed the secret, but the first person Redstone sought out for a and ace in private was not necessarily him, but Skinner was likely. After all, Littman had nothing to do with Redstone earlier, and Skinner Natser and Redstone are both Jewish.

So he and Sloan were going to test Skinner's 'loyalty'.

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

The gray-haired Skinner was getting old, tired after the early morning, and had just answered a phone call.

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 a long distance away.

"Is Peter 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 wryly, "They insisted on not withdrawing from the election, which annoyed the Gore deputy leadership team."

"Um."

Song Ya nodded. The close relationship between myself and Peter, I can't hide it from an old media person like Skinner, although he doesn't know the details...

"In short, from today onwards, we will fully support Mr. Vice President. If Peter and Eli are angry, let them be angry."

Today has passed the deadline I set for Peter, and it is only a few days before the ultimatum of the Silicon Valley tycoons in May, but Peter is still in the air, and he is still running for the election in Florida.

Song Ya felt overwhelmed at the thought of this, and felt a great deal of pressure.

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

Sloan felt that Skinner's vigilance was weak, so he took this opportunity to suddenly start probing, "Johnson's bet TV network is about to be sold, and giants such as Viacom have launched bids for it. Let Litman Media also participate?"

"Can you afford it?" Skinner was surprised, "I estimate the transaction price will be around three billion dollars, based on the current market value of Litman Media... Do you want to play a game of snake swallowing?"

"Let's just assume that money is not a consideration.

"

Song Ya and Sloan have always cooperated tacitly. As the big boss, he began to play the side drum, "Can you simply analyze the possibility?"

Boss Johnson is a die-hard Elephant Party, and probably will not sell it to liberal media alliances such as Disney, ABC, AOL, Time Warner, etc. Even if he wants to sell, the Elephant Party will hinder it. The same is true for us. Of course, we have an advantage in betting on the African-American TV network. If you buy aplus, the resistance will be a little bit smaller, and the elephant party will still attack with all its strength. You, Ms. Sloan, me, and Jones Stewart are all hard-core donkey fans. After Gordon left the bet, he also fell into the arms of the liberals. Party House Leader Newt Gingrich. "

Skinner began to analyze seriously, "Except for Johnson and other high-level bets, because it is more and more inclined to the entertainment field this year, his middle and lower levels have already leaned toward liberals. This is similar to Redstone's Viacom cbs The current situation is very similar. The executives of Redstone and CBS tend to be conservative, but their TV networks and some young employees are also in the liberal camp. If bet is acquired by Viacom, the fit is the highest. And Redstone East started negotiating with Johnson early on...Redstone is approaching eighty, and sooner or later Viacom and bet will turn around and turn liberal over time."

Hehe, she was really speaking for Lei Shidong. Of course, it is possible that she was discussing the matter. Sloan and Song Ya glanced at each other quietly, and she asked, "You didn't mention Fox News Corporation just now."

"They're too conservative to buy a predominantly African-American network, and Johnson couldn't possibly sell it," Skinner replied.

"What if we're also going to look for a buyer?"

Sloan gradually approached the truth, "You know Charlie, Littman Media suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, which one of the potential buyers do you think is the most sincere?"

"I never thought about this question..."

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

Have you really thought about it? This kind of old fox Song Ya won't let go of his heart just by his facial expressions, "It's still the same sentence, don't consider other factors first, you can just analyze the facts and then analyze it?"

"Our range of potential buyers is much wider than that of bet. First of all, abc is the old club of me and McAvoy. The plan of abc's 24-hour news station just didn't come true. Now that a is gradually doing it, they buy it back. Can make up for shortcomings. I know aplus most of your film and record company distribution affairs are in the hands of Disney, and you have a very good relationship with Disney's Eisner, Linton, Harvey and others..."

Skinner counted on his fingers: "The second is Comcast, which holds the broadcast rights of our a and ace. It is reasonable for Comcast to deepen its control over its TV stations. Then companies such as Clear Media won a The words are also very good, they can use this to break into the field of 24-hour news stations. Redstone's Viacom... should be willing to buy, Redstone himself seems to like McAvoy's hosting style, he Our motto is 'Content is king', and the street dance conference on Ace can be seamlessly integrated into Viacom's series..."

"Then aol, Time Warner, and Microsoft's nbc alliance should not need too much overlap between a and bc at present, but it seems that they can win it. They are rich and powerful, and it is normal to play willful and normal in acquisitions. News Corp...is still impossible, Fox's Subscribers should not be happy that they bought your TV station, and your movie company is still in a legal battle with Fox Films."

"Okay, I probably understand."

It seems that his own TV station is already considered a sweet bun, and it seems that Skinner really didn't reach a secret tacit understanding with Lei Shidong, Song Ya was a little relieved.

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

"Oh! I don't get much for myself."

Song Ya complained, "Most people won't come to me if they think about PR A." He automatically ignored that he was the one who made others less troublesome.

"Hehe, I understand, Littman." Skinner smiled, and indeed many external PRs went to Littman.

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

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

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

Skinner finished the phone report: "They will use a new phrase: 'Deputy Gore created the current prosperity of the Internet industry, and now the industry is in trouble, and only Gore can save it'."

The trouble should end it? Song Ya looked up and thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Many tycoons in the Internet industry are now relying on the loose regulatory environment advocated by Xiangdang. The Gore camp reiterated that this will allow them and investors to see the reality clearly.

"Okay, anyway, just do what Gore says."

Anyway, Peter is too disappointing, and the relationship with 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, Littman Media headquarters.

The next day, various media outlets tacitly started clamoring at the same time.

a Moderator Gordon: "Have you ever thought about it? Vice President Gore has created the prosperity of the Internet industry for many years, and now the industry has encountered some troubles. What about the right candidates? No one, Mr. Vice President is the only choice."

Cuu: "Al Gore created it, and he can save it, or you want to destroy it with your votes. The Internet industry urgently needs your votes now."

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

abc: "Little George's Texas cowboy will only bring the New York stock market into ruin. There is only one person who can restart a new round of prosperity, and that is the current deputy commander, Mr. Gore..."
