Chapter 725: Sensation in the United States
It is indeed extremely cumbersome to produce a large-scale TV program, even if Li Yadong's show does not need to consider the acting components and too much background construction, but as the so-called "art industry has a specialization", the TV station has no talent reserve for financial investment at all, so many things still need Li Yadong's full cooperation.
To give a very simple example, in terms of contestant qualifications, Li Yadong has to arrange professionals to review them to ensure that those who finally enter the show are "high-quality".
Otherwise, all cats and dogs will be put in, and maybe it will really become a variety show in the end.
Li Yadong only wants the interactive mode of "variety show", and things still have to be done seriously.
As a result, this communication with Thomas and others continued until very late, and the two sides negotiated almost all the details.
In addition to sending "investment consultants" to the TV station starting tomorrow, Li Yadong will also be responsible for part of the advertising matters.
In Thomas's words, this way, they can focus on the production of the show.
Of course, they Columbia Television and Radio will also pre-advertise in their own channels.
And Li Yadong's side is mainly responsible for external advertising.
There is no way to do it, after all, the time is very limited, and it is difficult to say the warm-up effect of their TV station, and in order to have enough influence, it is necessary to increase publicity.
In this regard, Li Yadong also expressed his understanding.
So the next day, an explosive news spread collectively in almost all mainstream media in the United States.
For example, the headline of Reuters - "Technology and the Future, a $10 billion investment plan, comes from Dongfanghong Capital." ”
The title is concise and well expresses the three key elements of the event.
The first is "technology and the future".
This is the theme of the program, and it is also Li Yadong's investment direction - high-tech.
Of course, it is not limited to Silicon Valley, although the high-tech in the United States is basically gathered there, but if there are high-tech companies from outside Silicon Valley to participate, Li Yadong is also welcome.
As long as there is a company with development potential, he is willing to invest.
Again, money is stored in the bank anyway, so why not use it to invest in the future?
The second is "tens of billions of dollars of investment".
These words are like nuclear weapons, enough to catch the eye of anyone who follows the news in these media.
This is Li Yadong's investment budget.
In the body of the text below the title, there is a detailed introduction, to put it simply, in the US financial market, a venture capital of tens of billions of dollars suddenly appeared, waiting for high-tech enterprises in the United States to share it.
If you have the courage, you will come.
The third is "Dongfanghong Capital".
This is an independent division of Li Yadong's newly established "Dongfanghong International Co., Ltd.", specializing in venture capital.
It is to tell the American people the source of this 10 billion yuan of funds, as well as the organizers of this event.
In just one year, the news swept through the United States of America and became a hot topic.
People are extremely surprised by the amount of "tens of billions of dollars".
I also feel very curious about this novel TV investment model.
In addition, I am also curious about this "Dongfanghong Capital".
Relatives and friends are asking what is sacred, they have never heard of it before, and if they don't take the lead, they will alarm the whole United States as soon as they appear.
This was the reaction of the general public, and in high society, the matter caused an uproar.
They also don't know where the "Dongfanghong Capital" is, and they are so wealthy, but fortunately, their news is far more sensitive than ordinary people, and they quickly figured out the origin of this organization, and they were all surprised by the rapid development of this group company.
And after this news spread, the most concerned are the major companies in the United States, especially those start-up enterprises.
Anyone who has ever run a company knows that it is difficult to obtain financing.
If a start-up company wants to grow, it must have money, and not everyone has a prominent family background and wealth support, so what to do?
Can only go to find money?
How to find it?
Usually, the people in charge of these companies will go to those venture capital companies and beg grandpa to ask them to invest.
Among them, the bitter ...... The way others ignore it, sometimes they will be swept out of the house directly, and it is difficult for those who have not tried it to understand.
Almost all venture capital companies, or capital predators, are relatively arrogant, and have never heard of any venture capital companies, go directly to the surface, and tell everyone: Come, I have a lot of money here, and you are welcome to raise funds.
This kind of thing is simply desirable and unwanted, if you are the head of a company that is in urgent need of capital development, will you miss it?
Then again, how many companies don't need capital to grow?
is stronger than Apple, and has carried out N rounds of financing to reach today's scale.
Anyway, almost all the owners of companies with huge financial pressure are ecstatic, and some companies are not even high-tech enterprises at all, and they also want to give it a try.
After all, there are no hard and fast rules on investors, so conventional companies can't participate, right?
Countless companies began to prepare and design financing plans as soon as they learned the news.
Some of the more ambitious companies even hold emergency meetings, and the head of the company draws a big pie on the desk and tells his subordinates that this is 10 billion, and we must get how much of it.
The impact of this incident is not only external, but also has a certain impact on Dongfanghong International Company, and reporters continue to come to the door for interviews, so that Uncle Luo and others are overwhelmed.
Li Yadong guessed that things would be like this, so since the news was released, he was too lazy to go to the company.
American journalists are not like in China, in a way, if they have to interview you, you can't even refuse, and you dare to say anything, dare to ask anything, and cause trouble.
However, although he is not in the company, he is not idle, the things on both sides of the company and the TV station are under remote control, and he has interviewed several talents recommended by headhunting companies in the past two days.
In addition to these things, Li Yadong is also paying attention to Guo Qi's lawsuit at all times.
Fortune Tower, Boston.
This is where Li Yadong and they rented, on the seventeenth floor, room 1709.
It's not just where Danny lives, it's where their team works.
The room area is larger than Li Yadong's, nearly two hundred square meters, and each area is independent, and the living room that enters the door has been turned into a simple office by them.
Knowing that Danny had just returned from the court, Li Yadong rushed over.
"Mr. Danny, what does the court say?"
"BOSS, you may not believe it when you say it, the court suddenly changed sex, I negotiated with them in the morning, and listened to the tone, they seem to be planning to open a trial of our case as soon as possible. Danny took a bottle of Budweiser in his hand, took two sips, and replied.
"As soon as possible?"
"It should be just a few days. ”
Li Yadong squinted slightly, already smelling a hint of conspiracy.
You must know that under normal circumstances, the efficiency of the American judicial system is extremely slow, and it is normal for a case to take a year and a half from the lawyer's request to the trial.
Li Yadong didn't have the heart to spend so long, so he kept asking Danny to find a way to shorten the court time as much as possible.
But this matter is not easy to handle, and the court has been prevaricating, even if it is to invite guests to dinner.
And now, there is a sudden plan to hold an early court session......
The reason for this is somewhat intriguing.
After all, at this point in time, his TV program news is constantly brewing and fermenting in American society.
I'm afraid that some people are in a hurry, and they didn't want to hold a court session at first, but now they can't wait to hold a court session as soon as possible, and things are a little reversed.
"Mr. Danny, no matter what method you use, I must delay the trial time until half a month later, understand?"
"Understood, boss. Danny nodded.
With his means and the status of a lawyer, this can still be done.
