Chapter 714: Dorn Asks for Help
So, Li Yadong ...... his thoughts Of course, the borrowed ideas are roughly explained.
"What is going on?" everyone looked at each other after hearing this, which was unheard of.
"This ...... Isn't it a bit like a talk show?" Danny was surprised, but also deeply impressed by the boss's clever brain.
This is by no means a normal person's brain.
If a normal person wants to make a business investment, even with the help of a TV platform, I am afraid that it will be made into a serious talk show, rather than this very interesting and interactive program.
"It's not a talk show, it's a variety show. Li Yadong said with a smile.
TV programs in this era are extremely monotonous, for example, in China, in addition to you can see TV dramas and news on TV, the only entertainment program is probably the song and dance party on major festivals, as for the concept of variety shows, it is far from being formed.
The United States is not bad, at least there are a few talk shows.
But again, there is no specific concept of variety shows.
But historical experience tells us that people need joy, interaction, and variety shows, and similar programs always attract attention and have good ratings.
Therefore, Li Yadong is very confident that once his groundbreaking "variety show version of the investment program" is launched, it will inevitably cause an uproar and cause people to flock to it in this American television industry, which is extremely lacking in entertainment programs, thus bringing good ratings.
To put it mildly, not only did he not pay the TV stations, but he was thinking about getting some money from them, and he was going to do so.
"Variety?"
Everyone looked confused, and the fresh word was as fresh to them as the freshly caught cod in the Mississippi River.
"You don't have to think about it so much, I'll just ask you one thing, if you make such a show as I said, will you watch it?" Li Yadong glanced at everyone and asked with a smile.
"What if...... Time permitting, I should be able to watch. Miss Su was the first to say, "After all, there has never been such a public financing program in the past, and the computer topics I study are closely related to the development of Silicon Valley, and I also want to know something about the industry over there." ”
"I'll definitely watch it. Dorn was even more crisp, "It's funny." Second, I am about to graduate, and I have always planned to work in Silicon Valley, just to see which company has more development prospects, so that I can have a direction to submit my resume. ”
"I'll probably watch it too. Danny nodded: "After all, this is the first time that a similar show has appeared, and the word 'novel' is the biggest attraction for me, and I like to accept new things." ”
"I probably wouldn't deliberately look at it, as Miss Su said just now, but if time permits, I don't mind looking at it. Cohen shrugged.
As for the Qi brothers, they will definitely reject any American TV program, because they can't understand the language at all.
"So you see, the majority of people are willing to watch, and I still have some confidence in this matter, and the next thing to do is to find a TV station to work with, and I believe that such a novel idea, they should be very interested. And I'm going to give them a reason they can't refuse. ”
Li Yadong talked so vigorously that he even put down his knife and fork, and the others were similar, they had already been interested in this interesting topic and ignored the food on the table.
"What?" asked Miss Sue.
"Ten billion dollars. ”
"......" Everyone was so frightened that their jaws almost didn't drop, including Miss Su.
What is the concept of tens of billions of dollars, such a string of numbers may be more abstract, but if you make a comparison, you can understand the meaning it represents.
In 1992, the most valuable company in the United States was Exxon Oil, with a market capitalization of about $75 billion.
You know, this is the richest company in the world, far more than Apple or Microsoft in this era, and Apple and Microsoft can't even make it into the top 10.
With 10 billion dollars, you can buy almost one-seventh of Exxon's oil!
This amount of money, even in anyone's eyes, is a huge amount of money.
It's horrible!
"For this investment plan, I will prepare a budget of 10 billion US dollars, and if the companies that come to raise funds are very strong, I don't mind spending all this money. Li Yadong said.
Ten billion dollars, equivalent to one-third of his net worth, even for him, is not a small amount.
But he is a little different from other entrepreneurs, he has a lot of money, and on the contrary, the industry is not very large.
In other words, you have too much money on hand.
Anyway, it exists in the bank, and if you can't get a few interest, it's better to take them out and invest them.
As for investing in the high-tech field, Li Yadong is very interested, because he knows very well that technology is the future.
"Playing so big?" Danny and Cohen looked at each other, both frightened by the new boss's wealth.
Miss Su didn't say anything, she unconditionally supported Li Yadong's decision, and her trust in Li Yadong had reached the point of blind worship.
In her opinion, there are few people in the world whose vision can compare to her own man.
At least she knows very well that Li Yadong has never lost money in business.
This sentence may seem like nothing just by saying it, but when you consider the size of his business and the amount of investment grade, it seems a little scary.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and almost no one can guarantee that they will win every battle.
However, there are always exceptions in the world.
"Oh, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack!" said Dorn, clutching his chest.
She suddenly realized a problem, she was about to graduate, and she didn't plan to do any research like Sue, since she was going to work, she had been thinking about places similar to Wall Street and Silicon Valley, but why not consider better options around her?
After all, next to her, there is a world-class rich man sitting right now!
Tens of billions of dollars are said without blinking an eye.
"Dear Lee, I feel that this idea is awesome, and there is no possibility for any TV station to refuse the gimmick of 'tens of billions of dollars' alone......"
"Wait, Dorne, I'll correct you, it's not a gimmick. Li Yadong said.
"Okay. Dorne sneered, "My bad." Then dear Li, how do you plan to implement this matter, it is impossible for you to go to the TV station to negotiate with them yourself, that is too low-grade, you may need a reliable helper. ”
"It's natural, my help, and his team, to arrive in the United States by this time tomorrow. Li Yadong nodded.
"Chinese?" Dorn asked.
"Yes, the Hong Kong company transferred from there. ”
"How easy is that!" said Dorne, glaring, "they are obviously unfamiliar with America. ”
"Oh?" Li Yadong was surprised, looked at her with interest, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Of course!" said Dorn grinning, and pointed to himself, "I, do you think I can do it, a native American, and a big beauty, I'll do it for you, and make sure the mission is completed successfully." ”
"You?" What is this girl's mind, Li Yadong finally figured it out.
In all fairness, Dorne is indeed a talent, how to say that he is also a top student at Harvard, both talented and beautiful, and he is still Miss Su's best friend, and he is a native of the United States.
Some work that needs to be done by socializing may be more suitable than Uncle Luo and others, at least for now.
It's okay to give her a chance.
Anyway, there is no technical content, it is just a matter of dealing with TV stations.
"That'...... Okay, it's up to you. ”
"Oh, dear Lee, you are so nice!"
As soon as Dorn became excited, it was easy to find Bei, so in front of Miss Su, she picked up Li Yadong's head and took a bite suddenly.
"Dorne, I'm going to break up with you!" Miss Su said angrily.
"Oh, my baby Sue, don't do that, I'm just so happy. ”
Of course, Miss Su is joking, this is not the first time, and she will not wait until now to break off her relationship.
