Chapter 770? Focus
School is about to start, and everything has to be accelerated. In the afternoon, he and Alicia appeared in the office building of A+CN.
The political consultant who came to meet in Chicago looked at the two of them suspiciously, then reached out and pushed aside the folder Alicia was holding on her chest, "New one? The style is very good."
"Hey, pay attention to Sloan." Alicia sideways avoided her fingers hooking her neckline, "Don't make such jokes in front of children."
"Huh?" Song Ya frowned.
Both she and Ms. Sloane burst out laughing until Gordon, who came down to pick him up, appeared.
"APLUS, Gordon, I'm sorry, the road is a bit congested."
Several people stood in the garage chatting while waiting for Michelle, who came by her own car. Her husband has announced that he will run for the state representative in the Hyde Park constituency, and the campaign team has also been set up. She is politically sensitive and a leader of several affirmative and charitable organizations. She has been enthusiastically helping since A+CN rented an office space in Chicago.
"It's okay, let's go up, thank you for being Michelle for us during this time." Gordon hugged her. The two have known each other for many years, and they are both African-Americans, so they are natural allies.
"APLUS, seldom come back recently?"
Everyone squeezed into the elevator, Michelle asked.
"Yes, New York, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley... I hardly took a day off during the summer vacation." Song Ya complained to her, "What about your husband? Will he still teach in the law school after the campaign starts next year?"
"Of course, we haven't made up our minds to make him a full-time politician." Michelle replied.
"Actually, you might as well come by yourself." Song Ya smiled when they were very familiar.
"It depends, if he can't be selected."
Michelle didn't say anything. Although she is stronger than her husband in terms of personal ability and political connections, her husband's image is better. Besides, her husband's mother is Jewish. It can also be considered Jewish. I heard that the campaign manager found a Jew, but according to the principle of one drop of blood, he must be black, and his self-identity must also be. Fundraising is done by Jews, and votes are cast by blacks, and both sides take advantage. Of course, it is based on the best deduction. There are many lessons learned from the past. For example, Percy Sutton of the Manhattan Gang overturned on this sensitive issue.
The floor where A+CN is located will arrive soon, and all employees have lined up at the entrance of the front desk to welcome the boss's first arrival,
Gordon also prepared a film crew, which is the advantage of running a TV station.
"Hello, hello, how is life in Chicago? Where do you live now?"
Song Ya cordially shook hands with the employees one by one. He probably spent millions of dollars before and after the start of A+CN, accounting for 71% of the shares, and the remaining 29% was invested by North China. Funded by trust and partner Comcast, most of the staff are currently busy working on the premiere of the 45-minute news show in October. A+CN also owns 5% of Dorothy's black women's TV station in Baltimore, a director, office space and broadcast trucks in Chicago are rented, a big news station in Washington and a self-owned TV station Most of the employees of the OB van were recruited from the inner-city broadcasting company Radio Washington. The news station in South Africa will be set up before the premiere. Film crews used to be like this.
"It's okay, I heard it will be very cold here soon." The director of the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Company got the promised executive position as he wished, and the power is only under Gordon. When shaking hands, he said with a smile: "Wait until In October we will surprise the entire Mimi."
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
Song Ya shook hands with Gordon's partner, the hostess poached from Dorothy's female TV station, and a newly recruited financial anchor and weather forecast female anchor. All black. The appeal of the first black 24-hour news station was somewhat stronger than I expected. Except for Gordon and his partner and the high-level radio station poached from the inner city broadcasting company, the salaries of the other main employees were not higher than what they could get in The treatment received by other TV stations, even some people are willing to stay here with low salaries, and work for two years to accumulate qualifications.
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs..." Accompanied by a group of people, he walked around the interior of the TV station.
"What?" Gordon didn't expect him to say a sentence in Chinese.
"nothing……"
Song Ya walked into the main control room, which is different from the control room of the recording studio. There is no direct view of the studio here, and there is also an extra TV wall. There are handwritten labels on each screen. Currently, only a few lights are on. First, the signal should be transmitted from several camera positions in the news studio.
The equipment is not very new, bought second-hand from a poorly run TV station in Chicago, but this is where the most money is spent. Oh no, just in terms of hardware, Gordon alone may take five million in salary every year, but fortunately, others are much cheaper.
At present, Gordon is worth the money, and the small TV station has been organized by him.
When the people from Comcast arrived for the meeting, the others continued to work, and all qualified people walked into the meeting room.
A+CN’s meeting room is very small, and this time the crowds are very full, and it’s a bit crowded, but it should be temporary. When Comcast gradually increases the broadcast time according to the milestone nodes of the contract until the channel resources are finally handed over, it may be It's going to be a separate building. Except for myself, all men wear shirts and ties, and women wear business suits.
At that time, subscribers' money should be enough to cover their own profits and losses, right?
"What's the agenda for today's meeting, Linda." Song Ya thought about it, and naturally sat at the top of the long conference table as the boss.
"Uh, APLUS..." Ms. Sloan winked at him.
"What's wrong?" He found the expressions on other people's faces a little embarrassed.
"Your seat is here..." Ms. Sloan patted a row of folding chairs in the corner, "Because the news is independent or something."
"oh."
It seems to be like this, the boss is the boss, and the boss of the TV station can only be Gordon, otherwise his political inclinations will be deeply bound to the TV station, which is not a good thing for a news station that advertises neutrality and objectivity.
"mine."
He went to sit there, and the Comcast people sat there with Michelle, Alicia, and Linda.
Today's meeting is about the focus of reports after the news program goes live. Gordon is the host. He didn't sit down, but kept standing behind that seat to talk.
"There will be a general election next year, and African-Americans also like to watch news in South Africa, as well as discrimination incidents in various places, serious news about African-American celebrities, and bills related to African-Americans in Congress..."
After finishing all the routine tasks, Gordon said, "But I still want to focus on the Simpson case."
"Didn't Johnson at BET limit our airtime to after the Simpson jury came out?" Sloan asked.
"Yes, but feature reporting with news depth is my forte, Ms. Sloan."
Gordon replied: "Black and white people need someone to make a final statement. They need someone to help them review the ins and outs of the whole incident. I plan to make a series. The duration is about..."
"Sounds good."
The closer it is to the final sentencing date, the more popular the Simpson case will be in the United States. Every time the court trial is broadcast live, it will cause a big discussion in the entire meter. Compared with the popularity of his single that topped the B chart, it is not enough. Kang Custer's people exchanged a few words with Song Ya in a low voice and asked, "Isn't it going to take a long time for this content?"
"Simpson's going to have a civil suit right after that. Johnson can stop me from pursuing a criminal suit, but the 'sequel' aspect..."
Gordon made a quotation mark gesture. "The progress of the civil lawsuit is enough for our show to take a minute or two occasionally, and there will be more in the trial."
"It is true that the Simpson case has driven Americans crazy, but it has been repeated for a long time, and the people getting the criminal verdict is equivalent to watching the finale."
Michelle questioned, "Are they willing to follow up with such a crazy high-intensity civil lawsuit that only involves monetary compensation like this year? I feel that they will even have a reverse mentality and become completely unwilling to hear anything related to Simpson. something."
"Uh..." Gordon didn't seem to want to refute her face to face, and looked at Song Ya with a little embarrassment.
"Don't look at me, you are the boss here, you call the shots Gordon."
Song Ya raised her hands grandly, "That's why I invited you here."
