Chicago 1990

Chapter 658? Gordon's Ambition

"Hello."

Kasiti waited for the other party to go away, casually tidied up her messy personal image, and drove out to the cafe.

"Miss Cassidy, isn't it?"

The other party waved in the booth by the window, "What do you want to drink?"

"I'll do it myself." Kasiti called the waiter, "Thank you for an Americano."

"Yes, we should drink this, you are very beautiful, especially the hair, Miss Cassity." The other party leaned on the chair and smiled and compared the frame with both hands, and Cassity was in the frame, "Your father is Irish, Mother is German, right?"

"I thought you came to see me about my father's case."

Cassiti subconsciously stroked the blonde hair, and began to take out her wallet to pay the bill, "Sorry, I think there is a little misunderstanding between us, we have nothing to talk about."

"Take it easy, Miss Cassetti please."

The other party smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "We really want to help Vic. Before I came, our protest documents have been faxed to the FBI. I believe there will be results soon."

Cassiti looked at him puzzled.

"And this..." The other party took out a check and pushed it in front of Kasiti, "I heard that the accounts of Mr. McKee and his colleagues have been frozen? Look, this is the first donation we raised, lawyers' fees Don’t worry at all, I came here voluntarily.”

Cassidy opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the figure thirty-five thousand on the check.

"Of course, this is shared by your father and three other colleagues. It's just that I came to your house first when I first arrived in Chicago. Is your mother there?" the other party asked.

"Uh, she's not here, she's gone to my grandpa's house, just tell me if you have anything to say." Kasiti didn't tell the other party that her mother was still planning to divorce her father.

"No problem, Cassidy, I know you're a top student at the University of Chicago."

The other party began to work seriously, "I'll teach you what to do. First, you need to organize your father and his colleagues' relatives and friends, and then let me represent you to negotiate with the Chicago police, the police and firefighters union, and the FBI. ..."

"The anonymous letter has worked."

Two days later, at Bedford Hills, old Mike quietly came to report, "The conservative white organization approached Cassidy, and they began to unite with the relatives and friends of the arrested stormtroopers to put pressure on all parties, and now they have gained momentum... "

"The rednecks are really strong in action."

Song Ya was very proud of the idea of ​​sending an anonymous letter, "Just wait and see for a few days, you have to keep abreast of changes in the situation in Chicago."

On the eve of the wedding, he kept his feet on the ground, and at the same time prepared ammunition for the troubles that were about to erupt. "Hello, Mr. Sutton."

Public opinion is very important. He has changed his views on Percy Sutton and his inner-city broadcasting company. It is not a bad thing for him to own a media with a good reputation and ability to build momentum in the black community, even if he loses a lot every year. , get over the immediate difficulties before saying, "Mr. Gordon, hello."

He also met Gordon, the host of BET and a well-known media person. The other party and Sutton did not come together, but they are both top media persons among black people, and they have a good friendship.

"As, I wish you a happy wedding in advance."

Percy Sutton and Gordon smiled and shook hands with the youngest black light in front of them,

"I hear you're interested in investing in an inner-city broadcasting company?" Gordon asked.

Happy newlyweds... It's hard to say, after the rape incident, Mariah Carey's attitude towards herself has changed a lot, but now that the wedding is coming, she doesn't want to show it for the time being, but she is not good at hiding emotions Woman, Song Ya can still feel it herself.

"I don't know the specific operating conditions of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, but Ms. Shirley Fleming is a media person I respect very much."

Even if he wanted to buy it, Song Ya didn't intend to stick his head out and let the other party take a stab at him. He said in a roundabout way: "I trust her too."

"Yes, Ms. Fleming is my friend for many years, and she is also very supportive of black media."

Percy Sutton said.

"The Inner City Broadcasting Company is very powerful. Although the operating conditions of serious news stations are not very good, there are still a large number of African-American media people that I respect very much. They are very strong and very ethical."

Gordon also took the opportunity to lend a helping hand to his old friend.

"I know, I will evaluate it, and find someone to start the specific work after the wedding." Song Ya nodded with a smile.

Percy Sutton was very happy to hear this, and the old man reciprocated Gordon, "Aren't you very happy at Bet, right? Gordon."

"Me? That's not the case." Gordon smiled wryly.

"Johnson recently opened a new entertainment company to produce and provide movies, TV, variety shows and other content for bet."

Sutton explained, "He made up his mind to develop betting in the direction of deep entertainment."

"BET is called Black Entertainment Television, isn't it?"

Song Ya didn't know Gordon's reason for coming, "Johnson is going in the right direction, right? I heard that Bet is about to become the 21st TV station in the whole meter by the number of subscribers. This is the highest achievement of an African-American media person."

"It is also the only achievement. Now that the direction of betting is set, there is not much room for serious journalists like Gordon to develop." Sutton said.

"oh?"

Song Ya looked at Gordon, "You mean?"

"I originally suggested that Mr. Johnson set up a 24-hour news channel like cuu. Now that the draft telecommunications bill is being discussed in the Senate, I judge that the cable TV station will soon be loosened. Now nbc, cbs, abc and fox will all enter cuu A series of 24-hour news stations are in full swing, and I think we, the black community, should also have our own 24-hour news station.”

Gordon complained, "But he didn't support my idea."

"That kind of news station really burns too much money, it needs reporters stationed all over the world..."

Song Ya talked about the matter, "Although bet is so successful, it is still not enough in that field, right? After all, the competition in the future will be unprecedentedly fierce, and the opponents are all very powerful top TV networks."

"World news is of little concern to the black community, our main focus has always been domestic."

Gordon said: "Many black elites also support my idea, so I have been looking around for opportunities recently."

"Yes, that's a great idea," Sutton agreed.

"But you will..." Song Ya looked at him hesitantly.

"Yes, Mr. Johnson will be very upset, but now my career development has encountered a bottleneck."

Gordon knew what he meant by what he didn't say.

"I see."

Song Ya nodded, Gordon is already a top African-American news host, and now he may be ambitious to look forward to the management or even the founder position of the TV station. If bet sets the development direction on entertainment content, as a news host, he will Development has indeed come to an end.

"A few million can start a new TV station. As Johnson himself started his own business after he got John Malone's 200,000-million-dollar knife, of course the channel resources he provided are more valuable. The entry cost of this industry is not as imagined by the outside world. as big as the one in."

Gordon finally explained his intentions, "The competition among cable TV operators will become more and more fierce. They need channel resources, and they need subscribers. As long as they can bring them subscribers, the TV station will soon be on the normal track."

Came to ask for money again...

Still lying to me, let alone the competitive environment when Johnson founded the company and the inflation for so many years, the establishment and operation are not the same thing at all, and now several million can be burned for a few months? Song Ya is a little helpless. A 24-hour news station, even if it only focuses on black news stations in the United States, the annual maintenance cost is not a small amount, and the competition will intensify after the telecommunications bill is passed.

"I don't know anything about this industry. When Char tried to sell me his TV station, I refused, right? Linda."

He hinted at Linda.

"Yes, I will manage his property in the future, including the acquisition and operation of the small California TV station. Raising the TV station is like raising his thoroughbred horse team. It can bring him some social status and vanity The improvement, but the speed of burning money is a bit unbearable, and in the end almost caused char to go bankrupt."

Linda complained.

"As, you are not Char, and no matter black or white, he will not be compared with you now."

Gordon laughed and said, "In addition to improving your social status and vanity, owning a news station will also bring you some unimaginable power personally. Do you know Johnson's current status? As a member of the Elephant Party, he Party politicians have relied more and more on him over the years. Maybe the Donkey Party is also happy to have its own African-American media tycoon? At least it is a good thing to have a voice channel for the black community.”

"The black community has always supported the donkey party, and the donkey party is not as urgent as the party." Song Ya said.

"So you did research?" Sutton asked with a smile.

"Uh, of course I'll think about it when I'm free, but now... I'm only twenty years old, and the TV station is to me..." Song Ya smiled wryly.

"There are the most professional talents here." Sutton pointed to Gordon.

"But the timing is wrong. Gordon, you just said that Mr. Johnson is very unhappy with your thoughts, and I don't want to offend him now."

Song Ya shook his head, a thousand birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand, and he will not offend the bet who has great influence in the black community at this critical moment for the sake of the illusory media tycoon's reputation.

"Think about it."

Seeing that he hadn't fooled the young singer and billionaire, Gordon had no choice but to get up and leave, "Of course, I hope you can help me keep it a secret."

"certainly."
