At about three o'clock in the afternoon, representatives of Columbia Television and Radio Corporation arrived as scheduled.

Americans actually have some advantages, at least they have a very good sense of time, and they will do their best to ensure that they are not late, just like leaving work at five o'clock, and do not expect them to work until five o'clock.

There were four people in total, three men and one woman.

Leading the way was the man Dorn called "Mr. Thomas", a middle-aged white man in his forties with a somewhat fat build.

"Boss, this is the Mr. Thomas I mentioned to you. Mr. Thomas, this is the boss of our Dongfanghong Group, Mr. Li Yadong ......"

Dorn gave an introduction to both of them, and the reason why she slept here until now was for the purpose of this.

"Is Mr. Li's Dongfanghong Group the company that once bought Land Rover and Jaguar from the British government, and later sold the Jaguar brand to the Ford Group for $2.6 billion?"

"Exactly. ”

After receiving Li Yadong's affirmative reply, the smile on Thomas's face became even worse.

As Dorn thought, in fact, Thomas has always been skeptical about this matter, what kind of joke, tens of billions of dollars of investment, even if you look at the world, is a very significant business event, and suddenly taking the initiative to come to the door, it always feels a little unreal to him.

But he has to admit that the other party's creativity is very good, and judging from his 20 years of experience in the industry, even if there is no $10 billion gimmick, this show is full of highlights.

Of course, if there are tens of billions of dollars, then ......

This show is bound to set off a ratings frenzy in the United States!

He is confident in this.

Li Yadong took Dorn with him and invited the four of them into his office, and then called Uncle Luo in and asked him to listen too.

"Mr. Lee, according to Miss Dorn, this $10 billion is your real investment budget, not a gimmick, please allow me to confirm again, because this is very important and will be directly related to the scale and arrangement of our production. ”

As soon as the group sat down, Thomas threw out the question he wanted to figure out the most.

"That's right, it's really our investment budget this time, it's not a gimmick, if the show is successful enough, and the quality of the companies that come to finance is good enough to meet our requirements, then we will invest all the 10 billion US dollars. ”

After hearing this, Thomas and the others looked at each other, and they were all smiling.

It can be regarded as a big reassurance, and after having this premise, other problems are not a problem.

Think about it, once this advertisement is out, people who have a TV at home can still miss it?

Tens of billions of dollars, an unimaginable wealth for ordinary people, is enough to arouse people's hopes and attention.

"Mr. Lee, thank you so much for choosing to work with Columbia Television and Broadcasting Company, and please rest assured that Miss Dorn has explained your ideas to me in detail, and I think the idea is very good, and we will do our best to produce this show and put it on primetime to make it the hottest investment program in the United States." ”

"I don't doubt that, everyone knows it's a great opportunity, and I don't have to hide it from you, in addition to your CBD, there are also ABC, HBO and other companies that have shown a very strong interest in this. But the problem is, I'm a person who pursues perfection and efficiency, and I want to know, if this show is handed over to you to produce, how long will it take for it to be officially broadcast?"

Thomas knew that the other party obviously wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible, and motioned to Li Yadong to wait for a while and discussed it with a few people beside him.

After all, the production of a large-scale program is a rather complex job that involves many aspects.

After the four of them discussed for a few minutes, Thomas had the result and said confidently: "Mr. Li, two months, only two months, this show can be broadcast smoothly." ”

"Two months?" Li Yadong frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "No, it's too long, I can't accept this time, you should also know that for us businessmen, business opportunities are often fleeting, I think now, is the best time to invest in high-tech industries in the United States, and two months later, many things may change, we may also miss business opportunities." ”

"This ......" Thomas couldn't help frowning, he thought that the other party should be satisfied with this efficiency, which was already the limit of what he could do.

"But Mr. Li, you have to be clear, the broadcast of our TV program has to be recorded in advance, and once the advertisement with an investment of 10 billion US dollars is released, I dare to conclude that there are absolutely countless representatives of enterprises who come to raise funds...... For a very simple example, if there are only 100 people participating in this show, then with the arrangement of 10 people per episode, about 10 episodes can be recorded, maybe it can be done in half a month, but what if there are 1,000 people participating?

"If it's too short, you can't do it perfectly. The two months I just mentioned may have to go through some pre-selection, eliminate some companies with insufficient qualifications, and try to condense the program to the essence before it can be presented. ”

"Nope. Li Yadong smiled and waved his hand.

Although he doesn't know much about TV production, he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig walk, so he knows a little bit.

"You can think about it differently, there is no need to finish the show at once and then broadcast it. As far as I know, the filming of some TV series is also filmed season by season, and this model is also feasible to apply to our programs. It's perfectly fine to shoot one episode and then shoot the next episode in between plays, which will greatly improve your productivity. ”

After hearing him say this, Thomas's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking to himself, such a good idea, why didn't I think of it?

It's no wonder that similar programs are completely first-time contact, and there is no precedent for the whole of America.

He whispered to the three assistants next to him for a while.

Although difficulties still exist, the opportunity must not be lost, and some hard conditions of the other side must also be met.

Because even if you have a program idea, you can't find the next "10 billion investment".

"If that's the case, it can really save a lot of time, but you still need to plan specifically, and ...... it as soon as possible."

"I've actually done some planning that should help you guys. ”

Before Thomas finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yadong, he got up and walked to the desk, and brought a program plan he got up early and handed it to Thomas.

Thomas took it in surprise, and with a slight sweep, his eyes lit up.

This plan is very detailed, constantly detailing the process of the entire program, and also designing several sections, such as corporate background introduction, corporate product display, corporate future planning, financing plan introduction, investor questions, etc., and even the layout of the program site, a simple sketch has been drawn.

"I'll tell you what I think, I hope this show starts recording in ten days, and it starts airing in half a month. ”

"Half a month?" Thomas frowned and said with a sneer: "Mr. Li, will the time be too tight, it will take a lot of time to prepare for the studio alone?"

"Can't I work overtime 24 hours to prepare for the construction? As long as I am efficient, it is not within my scope of consideration to pay the workers double or triple the wages, and I believe that there will always be a renovation company that can complete the task on time. In addition, if your company's internal fund review is more troublesome, I will pay this money first, and we will talk about the subsequent profit distribution. ”

"This ......"

"My idea has been proposed, if it works, you can do this show, if not...... I would think about it again. ”

"Okay, absolutely, no problem!"

Thomas gritted his steel teeth, and the other party even said this, so if it doesn't work, it has to work!

Li Yadong smiled, these Americans, they are usually lazy, don't force them, a screw on the door panel, they can screw it in three days.

Presumably, anyone who has chased American dramas will have some feelings.
