There aren't too many staff members on both sites. There are quite a few staff members of the network TV station, but they are mainly ordinary staff, and all the high-level personnel are not yet in place.

Link looked around for a while and found that the twelve-story building had only one floor for each of the two sites, a basement parking lot, and the remaining nine floors belonged to the TV station. However, TV stations do need more functional areas. The indoor studio, as well as the space that is intended to be used for filming sitcoms, all require a lot of space.

After touring a few floors, he said to Amanda, "Let's go to a meeting!" and the time for the meeting was approaching.

He came this time to announce that what was being discussed was in the interests of many people, so many people would come to this meeting.

Although the building is large, each space has been arranged, so the whole building is a large conference room. This large conference room is on the top floor.

When he and Amanda walked into the conference room, the time was just right, and it was almost full, about a hundred. Basically, they are staff of both websites.

Link saw that most of the people inside were basically young people, and no more than five were over forty.

When they walked in, Link sat down in the empty spot in the middle and said, "I know your time is precious, so we're not here to introduce ourselves or anything." Let's get straight to the point. ”

He looked at the people below and said, "I plan to combine the technical service groups of Monkey Hell Network and PNJ Network into a technical studio. This studio is an independent institution. He paused and asked. "The techs from both sites are here, right?"

A man and a woman represent both websites, indicating that people are coming.

Link asked, "I have already informed you of my previous integration plan in advance. Do you have any comments or suggestions?"

The woman who represented PNJ just now raised her hand and said, "Mr. Hans, if the studio is combined and the studio is under which department?"

"The tech studio will be completely independent, and you will be able to vote for the CTO yourself. The studio was only responsible for me, but it had to provide free technical support for both websites and the station. Of course, this is free, but it just says that there is no additional charge. Because the technology studio will own the shares of the latter three. ”

He waited for a while, saw that no one spoke again, and continued: "Monkey Hell Network and PNJ Network still exist as independent companies. However, they are still operated by a technical studio, and for the time being, they are still run by the same staff. Of course, the work of your two websites has a strong commonality, and the flow of personnel between you is negotiated and deployed by yourself. Also, I want you to work together, because no matter which site you're responsible for, you also have a share of the revenue of the other site. ”

He paused for a moment, didn't notice anyone asking questions, and smiled and said, "And the TV station." The technical studio must provide technical support for it. Now I'm talking about the issue that most people are most concerned about: the distribution of earnings among companies. ”

"There are six shareholders of the TV station, I personally have 25 percent, Hans Investments 15 percent, Thomas Investments 15 percent, Technology Studio Technology 15 percent, Amanda 10 percent, and two websites 10 percent each. ”

"The distribution of the Monkey Hell Net and the PNJ Net is more complicated. Some of you own shares in the site. In addition to this share, the TV station holds 5% each, the technical studio owns 30%, and the rest belongs to me. In addition, these two websites are definitely going to be listed. As for when it will be listed, it will take everyone's efforts. ”

He said all this, and the people below didn't have any opinions, because they were notified in advance.

In fact, he didn't say anything about the distribution of benefits.

The technology studio exists as an independent company, in which he will own 51% of the shares, and the remaining 49% will be owned by the technology group. But not personally. Among the shares, individuals in the technical group can only receive dividends according to their positions, but cannot receive shares.

And this studio, will not be listed.

He concluded: "Although Monkey Hell Network, PNJ Network and TV Station are not affiliated with each other, I plan to form the three into an online media group. I'll put Theresa Snotton of Thomas in charge of the formation of the group, and if there is no accident, Amanda will be the CEO of the group. You must be worthy of their work. ”

After he finished speaking, he asked the three companies what their plans were for the future.

Amanda was the first to put forward the work plan of the TV station: "In the early stage, the programs of the network TV station will be dominated by news, talk shows and online sitcoms. In the future, we hope to shoot dramas, documentaries, and so on. Our current preparations are also centered around this plan. Our TV station has to complete work in the near future, mainly the renovation of the newsroom and the sitcom recording scene. There are also personnel who need to be filled. Once this is done, we will be ready to broadcast at any time. ”

She has a stake in her personal news website, and she has been doing news before, so she values news the most. And Link also attaches great importance to the news.

After she finished talking about the plan, she made some requests: "We need technical help in preparation, such as how to ensure signal stability, how to reduce network signal latency or lag. These need to be handled by a professional person. At the same time, we need more field correspondents......"

After she finished speaking, some people made some requests and suggestions. For example, some people have proposed to make cartoons, and some people have proposed to collect news through the Internet and let netizens become reporters for TV stations......

Because the two websites need to cooperate with TV stations, they will not only rebroadcast their programs on their websites in the future, but also plan to cooperate with TV stations to shoot their own funny videos with TV professionals.

Link supports these suggestions and comments for the time being. He is a novice in this area, and these suggestions can be seen to be effective.

The meeting didn't last long, and it was over

However, Link has not finished what he wants to say this time, and the next thing is to talk to Amanda.

Amanda took him to her office and said, "There's a lot going on right now, so it's a bit messy. ”

The office is indeed a bit messy, and a lot of files and some equipment have not been packed up yet. He found a chair and sat down.

"Coffee?"

"Water is fine, thank you!"

Amanda poured him a glass of water and said, "What else do you have to give an account?"

Link nodded and said, "Do you know what I'm doing with this station?"

"Probably a little bit of it. ”

Link took a sip of water and said, "I hope this station can be a platform for advocating for racial equality." And I've reached out to some minority directors who will make some social investigative documentaries. You know, while racial equality is politically correct, it's hard to get a documentary that exposes the facts like that. So, I plan to put them on TV. ”

"That might cause some unnecessary trouble!" Amanda said, sitting in her seat, considering the words. "Link, you know, some would even say we're stirring up racial antagonism. ”

"As long as we're not faking, let them speak. Link, of course, knew that there was a risk of political injustice for promoting those things. He didn't know if he could handle the pressure, but he had to try. "We can work with those minority TV stations. If possible, you could even consider acquiring some minority-owned TV stations. In addition, our television stations should also have channels in minority languages. ”

"When we get to a certain point, it's really necessary to have non-English channels!"

Link glanced at her and said, "I mean, as long as we can dominate, whether it's grown to the extent you say we want it to be, we can start a channel like that." ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "You know, although countries have certain restrictions on online information, as long as we do our programs in a fair and objective manner, our programs will not be so easily restricted. ”

Amanda thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll make a plan." However, the concept of the United States and other countries is very different, and what we think is objective may not be recognized by the governments of other countries. ”

Link was right. Although the Internet is ubiquitous, many countries can do it to restrict the signal of a certain website. Of course, netizens can watch over the wall, but how many foreign viewers are willing to go over the wall for a foreign online TV station?

The definition of objectivity is the same all over the world, but the concept of each country is different, and the objective will be completely different. So Amanda's concern is also very reasonable.

Link understands this, too, and he has long thought about it: "We may be able to bring in professionals from the main market target countries. Let them be in charge of the program in the Chinese language. If we have permission, we can even open branches in other countries to produce programs in that Chinese language. ”

That sounds like a solution. ”

Link smiled and said, "Anyway." The operation of the TV station is left to you. ”

He invited Amanda to be the director. Mainly because she used to be a journalist, and she also ran a private news video website, so she is more familiar with online TV news. Of course, there are no professional online TV stations yet, and it is not easy to find someone with complete experience.

He asked Douglass to investigate, and it was important that Amanda's views on the society did not conflict with his. He needs a person who can accept his point of view and has some experience.

And Amanda is the best person he can think of.

Before he had his own traditional television station, this network television station was his best weapon to fight back against the media hostile to him. He certainly hopes that Amanda will run it well.

"If you're having trouble with money, I can say hi to Claire. ”

"If the TV station is short of money, I will look for him. ”
