Chapter 493 Meeting

In a high-rise conference room in New York, Claes, who had been holding three rounds of discussions, finally had time to rest, and a more authoritative traditional media person had just come to chair the meeting for him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Claes is the new president of Time Warner, and the previous financial turmoil caused the merger of US Imperialism Online Group and Time Warner to tide over the difficulties, becoming one of the largest media groups of US Imperial.

At the same time, Claes is also Eliza's uncle, and sending Eliza to find out Wang Yao's reality is his attention.

"Isn't Eliza back yet?" asked the secretary, sitting by the window, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Miss Eliza is on her way, and she should be there soon. "The secretary looked at the time," Mr. Payne from CBS called, saying that something was temporarily unavailable. ”

Claes frowned, "What is so important?"

The secretary shook his head, "Mr. Payne didn't say it, but listening to the attitude, it seems to be intentional." ”

Claes snorted coldly and grabbed his glass.

The conference was held because of the sensation caused by Facebook, led by Time Warner, and all influential traditional media organizations of US imperialism were invited and sent people to attend.

Among them are ABC and NBC, two of the three major commercial broadcast media in the United States, and CBS, which was supposed to come, was absent, otherwise it must have been a historic meeting.

Basically, since more than ten years ago, when the Internet began to appear, some traditional media scholars predicted that the Internet would change the current form of traditional media, and even subvert the entire form of media.

In the beginning, people did not pay much attention to it, because the traditional media, through newspapers, radio and later television, has existed for at least a thousand years in human history, and has long been a deep-rooted necessity of mankind.

They don't believe that something that has just emerged can shake the interests of traditional media, because they don't value the Internet too much.

But with the rapid development of Internet technology, they began to be vigilant, especially the emergence of online games, so that these traditional media paid attention to the Internet for the first time, and after evaluation and calculation, they came up with some results that made them afraid.

In particular, the financial turmoil that passed a few years ago was caused by the Internet, and although it failed, it also proved the huge potential of the Internet, so various traditional media companies are studying how to transform and adapt to the Internet that will harm the interests of the group in the future.

At the same time, they reached a tacit understanding.

At a time when everyone is not getting along with a safe way to transition, everyone joins forces to suppress possible Internet media, and search engines are the lowest bottom line.

The real relationship between traditional media and the Internet media that is about to emerge should be a relationship of mutual assistance and mutual benefit, rather than a replacement relationship, because Internet media will rely on traditional media for development in a short period of time.

Because traditional media represents rigorous authority, even if the audience of the Internet is large, it still does not have the authority of traditional media, which is a bit like the relationship between equality and freedom.

Equality and freedom are relative, but at the same time they are mutually beneficial.

Internet media seems to give everyone the right to speak, but some rigorous and important news still rely on traditional media as the root, because Internet media will not form a complete law to ensure fairness in a short period of time.

A medium without impartiality, just an entertainment medium.

Fundamentally, Internet media has no conflict of interest with traditional media.

But everyone knows that with progress, Internet media will one day develop into authority, and the traditional media, which has been authoritative for hundreds of years, naturally does not want to have another enemy, they are authoritative in the media industry, whether traditional media or Internet media, they are all authoritative.

But they can't make a direct transition, because when an authority is no longer 'serious', the credibility of that authority is easily shaken, so it is impossible for these giants to openly transform from traditional media.

They are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to 'ask for the people', and when the Internet really develops and has a mass base, there will naturally be readers to support them in developing with more trendy Internet media, so that they can have both.

After all, it's the reader's 'request'.

But the sudden appearance of Facebook caught everyone off guard, normally this website should not cause too much turmoil in such a short period of time, although Zuckerberg's mind is enough, but it still will not be able to develop Facebook so quickly in a short period of time.

Without Leonardo's live broadcast, Facebook would not have been so large, at most it would have become an auxiliary social networking site like MSN among major universities and young people in the United States, and it would be used on a small scale.

But with Leonardo's influence, it is equivalent to an endorsement, and at the same time, it also opens up a long-suppressed fan market, and really pushes the concept of social media in front of everyone, catching these giants off guard.

In this era, the most capable, energetic and value-creating are the fans of these celebrities, and these fans can only contact idols through traditional ways such as writing letters and meeting people when there was no social media before, and because there are too many stars, it is difficult to build a fandom.

But after the advent of Internet socialization, the communication distance between fans and celebrities has been infinitely shortened, even if those celebrities have no time to chat online, but looking at their idols' accounts, those fans will feel happy.

Because of this opportunity, fans log on to the site at least a few times a day to post on the idol's account, and they can also pour out their voices in the comments, and this kind of confession can be seen by other fans and then communicate with each other.

This kind of communication can derive infinite possibilities and drive the popularity of this platform.

Because of the increase in the number of uses, it will become a communication habit, and once it becomes a habit, then it will be difficult to quit.

And once this habit is formed, it will be difficult for other platform websites to compete with it, which is what these traditional media are most worried about.

Once a new company emerges, then their interests and authority will be affected, especially in the competition in the future Internet era, they will lose the opportunity.

So they must take some measures to organize Facebook to continue to grow.

It's just that these old giants all have their own ghosts, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion in a short period of time for this meeting.

"Uncle. Eliza sat down across from Claes and said.

"How?" Claes asked directly, "what about Dimon?"

"He's got something to do. Eliza said, "It's not negotiated." ”

"What did he offer?" asked Claes.

Eliza shook her head, "No, he doesn't seem to have any intention of compromising?"

"You're not expressing the opinion that this is 'everyone' of ours?" Chryce frowned.

I said it, but he seemed prepared. Eliza said, "Have you investigated his background?"

"Of course. "He doesn't seem to have much of a background, but he's very well connected, and he should be a real talent." ”

"No other background?" asked Eliza.

"No, the biggest suspicion is his country, but he is not as good as he is in their country. Claes said, "What did you find?"

"That's strange, how can he have such confidence?" Eliza wondered.

"CBS didn't send anybody. Claes suddenly remembered something.

Eliza frowned, "Could it be that someone from CBS is operating in the back?"

"This guy Payne has completely inherited his father's cunning. Claes snorted coldly.

"In any case, if we don't have official support, it's very difficult to deal a fundamental blow to him. Eliza calmly analyzed, "If it's really CBS behind it, then he can really be regarded as fearless." ”

"Don't tell anyone about this yet, wait for the next meeting and you can observe everyone. Claes said.

Eliza nodded, and muttered, "I think he's a very nice and thoughtful young man." ”

"He's also a young man who doesn't know how to be polite. Claes said coldly.
