Chapter 735: The Best Chance

"Hahaha." Qiao Feng laughed happily twice, and then asked, "Does Nan Sheng think we have a chance to take him?"

"It's hard to say, but now that Ralph Roberts has suddenly fainted, Comcast must be internally unstable, and the company's stock will also fluctuate greatly after the market opens, so it should be an opportunity."

After all, Ralph Roberts had just fainted, and it was hard to say what kind of illness he would wake up and what he would be like after waking up.

Shi Nansheng didn't give advice, Li Zhi thought about it and said his opinion.

Seeing Qiao Feng and Li Zhi talking about business, Gong Li stopped teasing Chen Hong, and pulled Chen Hong with Lin Qingxia to go to another room with Qiao Zhen in his arms.

Qiao Feng, who was immersed in thinking, didn't notice the departure of several people, he paced back and forth on the ground, thinking about the impact of this incident and the opportunities in it.

Comcast certainly doesn't know many people, but the company is a big guy in the entertainment or media industry.

It is currently the fifth largest cable operator in the United States with 2 million subscribers, and it is also a small giant in the North American television industry.

"Do you want to buy or do you want to work with Comcast?" Seeing that Qiao Feng didn't speak for a while, Li Zhi couldn't help but ask.

After a pause, Li Zhi said: "Comcast is a cable operator, not a TV station or a program provider, you shouldn't choose it if you want to expand your TV channels."

As Li Zhi said, Comcast and Qiao Feng want to have different TV channels: it is not a TV program provider, but a TV program broadcaster.

TV stations produce and broadcast TV programs, and many TV stations broadcast wirelessly, just like TVB, which is by radiating electromagnetic waves into the air and then receiving signals by the antenna on the TV set to present them on TV.

Therefore, wireless TV is free for the audience, and only the TV can be watched if it can receive the signal.

But cable TV is not. It is a simple way to realize the retransmission of radio and television programs, which is to send the recorded programs to users through cables, and then use the TV set to replay them.

Of course, the services provided by cable operators cannot be just the installation of cables, but also the provision of paid programs.

Those programs provided by TVB that do not need to be paid are naturally available with cables installed, but for those programs produced by TV stations that provide cable programs themselves, they must be paid to watch.

That's the bulk of the money that cable operators make.

Cable television is commonly known as closed-circuit television, however, closed-circuit television in the United States is much more advanced than domestic CCTV.

Because at this time in China, even after more than ten years, the TV provided by the closed circuit is overcharged by many users in the province that cannot be received, and those in other provinces are in addition to CCTV, CCTV other channels of the program.

Who let the country after a decade or two, the vast majority of programs themselves are also free, and in China, it is provided by the radio and television company to install and close the circuit.

But unlike in the United States, most programs are charged, and as a result, there are many cable operators in the United States vying for the huge cable market.

"Can't say that." Qiao Feng shook his head and said, "Although Comcast is only a cable operator, because of its business, it has a lot of overlap with TV stations.

Qiao Feng is not only thinking about making money from the TV series he produces, but also about whether the TV broadcast rights of the movies in the film company in his hand can be sold at a good price.

In addition to being half-dead by the former boss Corkrian, the main reason why MGM finally declined was that MGM did not have the backing of the media group.

In addition to the huge publicity advantages that this media group can provide to film companies, the most important thing is to enable the films produced by film companies to have good TV broadcast channels and disc sales channels.

TV licensing and disc sales are the main sources of peripheral income for movies other than those that can sell toys and other merchandise.

Admittedly, Comcast can't directly provide TV channels, but as a cable operator, Comcast can influence the TV channels it partners with to buy the TV rights to the movies.

Founded in 1963 by Ralph Roberts, Comcast provides cable television services to the city of Tupelo in Lee County, Mississippi, with only 1,200 subscribers.

Although it is only the fifth largest operator with only two million subscribers, it looks like a scumbag, but in fact, cable TV and wireless TV are incomparable.

Besides, that is, there are fewer users of Comcast, and Qiao Feng has a chance to win it.

Moreover, as the fifth largest cable operator, Comcast has a lot of influence in the TV field.

If Comcast can be bought, MGM's movies will definitely have a chance to be sold to more TV channels.

Even some good movies such as Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess have the opportunity to be sold in the United States and broadcast on TV.

Thinking a little further, if he can win a large cable TV operator like Comcast, Qiao Feng has enough confidence to get involved in the TV production business in the United States.

Whether it's investing in a small local TV station or a single TV channel, you can imagine it.

Moreover, what Qiao Feng wants is to build an omni-channel media empire, whether it is the cable TV business or the cable TV operation business, it should also be involved.

Now it's just a matter of starting from the original TV station to starting with the cable TV operation.

Although the starting point is different, the goal is the same in the end.

"So what are you going to do, do you want to book a plane ticket to the United States?" Li Zhi saw that Qiao Feng had an idea, so he asked.

"Not yet." Qiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's let Nan Sheng follow up first, let's see what happened to Ralph Roberts."

"Nansheng said that Ralph Roberts is 70 years old, and this time he faints for whatever reason, whether he can wake up or not, and whether his body is still good or not after waking up, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to take charge of Comcast. Li Zhidao.

"Then you can fly and get in touch with Nan Sheng and each other."
