Chapter 606: ...... of victory
At the same time, CNN headquarters in Turner's office. Turner got a call. The information provided by the other party on the phone was similar to what Amanda got.
It's just that the mood difference between him and Amanda is huge.
The number of ratings of NTV. Partly households, with fewer than 400,000 household viewers, but more on computers and mobile phones.
That kind of ratings went some way to proving that NTV's premiere was a failure. They haven't been successful in the traditional TV viewing group, but they have been successful.
Because this is the result achieved within half an hour of the broadcast.
For a TV station that premieres, as long as enough people have personally learned about the TV station, it is considered a success. And the ratings of the first half-hour period after the start of NTV's broadcast, the number of viewers has been rising.
This shows that they are attracting more and more people to watch their TV stations. Just make a good first impression. can make the audience look forward to this TV station for a long time. Today they may be watching the show on a mobile phone. But tomorrow they might be watching it on TV. That's a success.
Turner also watched the NTV news. The anchor of the news seems to be an amateur, but he has to admit that such an anchor may attract a lot of young viewers, especially young male viewers.
And the news reported by NTV today will also cause a sensation. He had just seen a large number of news about biomass natural gas production technology popping up on the Internet.
NTV is definitely famous.
There is a very unfriendly relationship between Link Hans and CNN. It can even be said that the emergence is largely due to CNN's previous negative reports on him.
Turner knew that if NTV rose, his CNN would be the first target of the opposing side. He doesn't want to imagine that Link Hans has a public opinion platform comparable to CNN, plus the other party's net worth, how many politicians will be willing to cooperate with Link Hans?
But he knew he couldn't stop it, unless it was NTV's own mistake.
He sat for a while before making a phone call to ask his staff to criticize NTV's news anchors for being "unprofessional."
He doesn't just have a CNN, he also has the Internet, and he also has newspapers. I also know a wide variety of columnists. But all he can do seems to be to make a fuss about NTV's unprofessionalism.
On the NTV side, it doesn't matter what other people think. They only know that they have succeeded. Their premiere does not pursue that today's all-day show will always be watched by many people.
They have a free period of half a year. During this time, let more people know and let more people be interested, that is their success.
And the data obtained today is undoubtedly very successful. You know, Amanda's previous estimate was that up to 500,000 people would watch at the same time. And now it's nearly twenty times her estimate.
Link cracked the champagne and all the executives celebrated.
Then he came to the director's office, and he specially asked Amanda to find the news anchor Lina just now.
Lina is still very young, only a year after graduating.
After the other party introduced himself, he smiled and said, "Linna, when you were teasing me, I was thinking about what reason to fire you." ”
Lena smiled and said, "Mr. Hans, are you reminding me that it's time to get a lawyer?"
"Yes. I was also worried that you wouldn't have enough money for a lawyer, so I decided to give you a raise!"
"I hope you didn't plan to give me a raise because I was so beautiful!"
"You know, I'm Chairman of the Benehans Group. Ms. Jessica Benis, who just appeared in the news, is the president of the Benehans Group, in addition to being my wife. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, but I never considered giving her a raise. Link laughed and said. "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"Very satisfied!" said Lina, who also giggled. "But I'm not worth it, Ms. Benis. She deserves more paychecks. ”
Amanda laughs, "That's because they have each other. Link, I think it's time for us to get down to business. ”
Lina lost her voice and said, "Amanda, was it a joke to give me a raise? ”
"A raise is for sure, but it's up to Amanda to decide how much and when," Link said. ”
"OK, I'll try harder to please Amanda. But what's the point?"
Amanda said, "I think you've definitely seen what the audience has to say about your streamer. ”
"Yes, it's the handsome young guy who compliments me. Either jealous women or GAY are the ones who deny me. ”
Amanda reluctantly said to Link: "Don't you care, she is like this the rest of the time except for the interview, well, funny!"
"That's good!" Link smiled, then said to Lina. "Linna, it seems that some viewers have responded well to the style of an anchor like yours. I also hope that they will continue to like you, preferably more and more people. ”
For TV stations, it is common to try out female news anchors. Because a beautiful woman can actually attract a lot of people to watch the news. And Lena is indeed a beauty. Regardless of her face or figure, she conforms to the aesthetics of American men.
"I'll try, Mr. Hans. For the first time since they met, Lina responded to him seriously. "But the anchor style just now, those people can accept it, mainly because of the first time. If you watch too much, you will also feel bored. I can have all kinds of styles, though. intellectual, funny, humorous, funny, and nonsensical...... I'll let them see a beautiful streamer. ”
"Well, you can have two months, and if your style can maintain its popularity, Amanda and I will not object to you anchoring the news with your own unique style. ”
Don't look at Lina as if she was a little out of tune, but she understood it very well.
She also knows that she is a news anchor at her age, unless she can't find someone who will agree. Being able to work as a news anchor on a TV station like NTV is an opportunity that is not available on other TV stations. In those big TV stations, no matter how hard she tries, the likelihood of being a news anchor before the age of 30 is very low.
Link's commitment to Amanda to give her free rein has given her the opportunity to become the most unique news anchor in the world. So she also cherishes her current position.
Amanda then added: "In two months, you will be the anchor of the prime-time news." Don't let us down. !”
"Of course, because I can't allow myself to be disappointed!" said Lina, full of confidence and seriousness. "I will cherish this opportunity. ”
"Work hard! You go out now. I've heard that many netizens have expressed their opinions on your hosting, and you may find some inspiration in it. ”
"Actually, I'm watching!" Lena said, smiling, standing up. "Then I'll go out first. Thank you again for this opportunity. ”
After she left, Link said to Amanda, "Although I have already said it, it can be regarded as a good start." I have to go now. ”
Amanda is also well aware that they both want to maintain high ratings in the long term, but that is unlikely. Because their scheduled program can't do that yet. That's why they value Lina so much. As long as her hosting style can maintain the audience, NETV will always maintain an impression in the hearts of some viewers.
That's a foundation, as long as they make more attractive programs, then NTV's ratings will be better than they expected.
So there is no need to look forward to the next ratings. If it can be better, it is an unexpected joy, and if it falls off a cliff, it is also expected. Link didn't need to stay.
So, it was not surprising that Link would leave now.
When Link left NTV, it was not yet noon.
He first called Charlie and learned that he was in the office and had time now. So he went to downtown San Francisco.
Charlie postponed the scheduled schedule.
When Link came to his office, he stepped out from behind his desk to greet him, smiling and holding out his hand, "I just noticed." Congratulations on the success of your NTV premiere. ”
Link shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Then you must know the news about biomass natural gas production technology." ”
"Yes, I saw it. I have to say, that's exciting news. We sat down and said. ”
Link sat down and waited until he was back at his desk before saying, "I need your help." ”
"About promotion?"
"Yes. I hope that the project will get some political support, or at least not be politically suppressed. ”
Cha Li thought for a moment and said, "I think the promotion of your project may be delayed, but it is unlikely to be suppressed." ”
He went on to say, "Although some companies will be affected by this project, they may find ways to prevent your project from going ahead. But as long as the data you provide is true, most cattle farms will be on your side. Also, a lot of anti-GMO people will be on your side. The ballots they have will let the parliamentarians know what to do. Even if they don't support you, they won't easily say no. ”
"Especially in states with well-developed agriculture and animal husbandry. Even if there is any movement on the federal side, it is possible that the central and western states with developed agricultural and animal husbandry will adopt policies that favor your project. ”
Link had that expectation, but waiting passively didn't do him much of his plan. He said: "I hope to implement that project at Benehans as soon as possible. And hopefully Benehans will get some protection for this project. I don't want to waste my energy pestering with certain people. ”
Cha Li paused for a moment and said, "Then what do you need me to do?"
"Do you have a Texas congressman you know well?"
"Meet a few. ”
"The Texas Development Bank and the North Texas Pollution-Free Food Standards Association will be working together, and it would certainly be better if the Texas legislators could help say a few words." ”
"I can introduce some of the Texas legislators to the Bank of Texas and the Pollution-Free Food Standards Association. Including federal and state legislators. ”
"And New Mexico ......"
Charlie immediately said, "I'll convince my dad!"
Link shook his head and said, "Charlie, I hope you come by yourself this time." At least in person. ”
