"The World Trade Tower, located in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, was suddenly struck by a fully fueled Boeing 767 airliner at 8:46:40 a.m. today, between the 94th and 98th floors of the North Building......"

"At 9:02:54, the second Boeing 767 airliner, fully loaded with fuel, again crashed head-on between the 78th and 84th floors of the South Tower of the World Trade Center......"

In the joint live broadcast room of ABC TV and CAA TV, Linda and Jamie, with solemn expressions, reported in a depressed voice.

The TV screen showed the impact of the first passenger plane, and then the second passenger plane entered the camera again, and the two tragic explosions made countless Americans who were watching this program feel numb.

Link stood in the studio, looking through the transparent glass at Linda, who was on camera for the first time. The makeup artist has already touched up her makeup, and with big black-framed eyes, she does seem to have the posture of a popular anchor at this time.

Although compared with the handsome Jamie next to her, Linda is not as experienced as the other party, but after the initial nervousness, she is now able to calmly partner with Jamie to host, without being overshadowed by Jamie's limelight.

When the scene turned back to the reporters on the scene, Linda was visibly relieved.

Link walked into the live broadcast room with a smile and said, "Jamie, your calm temperament and magnetic voice are simply amazing." ”

Jamie smiled implicitly: "Linda is also great, I was worried at first that she would not be able to pick up my topic, but, obviously, I was too worried." ”

Link gave Linda an encouraging look: "Linda, you're great too, I didn't mistake you." ”

"Thank you, boss, for giving me this opportunity." Linda looked very excited.

At this time, Bobs walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he exaggeratedly shouted: "Wow, wow, wow, it's just a pair of golden boys and girls, don't you say, Mr. Link?" ”

Link shrugged helplessly.

Jamie laughed and said, "It's a pity that I already have a lover, and I have three very cute children, so I can't be a golden boy." ”

A few people laughed for a while, and the live broadcast was about to start again, and Link walked out with Bobbs.

Bobbs looked very excited, and said with some excitement: "Mr. Link, you won't believe that the joint live broadcast of ABC TV and CAA TV has been watched by more than 80 million people, which is definitely the highest-rated program ever." ”

Jack was a little surprised, he didn't expect the ratings to be so high. Turning his head to look at the monitor next to him, it showed that nearly 10 million people were watching CAA TV.

Although the ratings index only accounts for a small part of the 80 million people, it is important to know that CAA TV was a Chinese TV station before.

And there are only about 1.8 million Chinese in the United States, that is, the current viewership is several times the number of all Chinese! In the past, the number of viewers of CAA TV station never exceeded one million.

In this year's census, the population of the United States showed 210 million people, and if everyone watched TV, the CAA now has a rating of nearly 5%.

Five percent ratings, what's the concept? Compared to the previous CAA's highest rating of 0.5 percent, it has exceeded 10 times.

"Alright, Mr. Bobbs, what else do you have to say now?" Link said, pointing to the numbers on the monitor.

Bobbs shrugged: "Don't think I don't know what your CAA was before, please forgive me for being blunt." Although ABC now has close to 70 million viewers, it is only a little more than two times higher than our highest ratings, which is of course already good. ”

Link was not angry with Bobs's words, and his biggest concern now was how to convert those more than 10 million people into a regular audience.

After an hour of syndicated live broadcasts, Bobbs finally left CAA TV with his press department. Link knew that now was the time to test him.

Without a joint live broadcast with ABC, he had to arrange a new one immediately. You must know that almost more than 10,000 TV stations in the United States are doing live broadcast of the "911" incident at the same time.

Although he now has a viewing base of more than 10 million, when the joint live broadcast ended, that number immediately dropped by 3 million, that is, only 7 million people are currently watching CAA TV, and this number is still declining.

"Arrange a new live broadcast immediately, Linda, I'm going to work hard for you today." Link said to Linda, who was surrounded by makeup artists.

Linda said happily: "Don't worry, my boss." Becoming a popular streamer has always been my biggest dream, and I'm happy to be able to sit in front of the camera. ”

"That's good." Link nodded, then looked at the busy employees on the TV station and said, "Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to work overtime today, but don't worry, I'll pay overtime." ”

Link's words drew laughter.

"Boss, what are we going to have for supper? I don't want to eat hot dogs anymore. Karl, the cameraman, made a gesture of vomiting.

Kyle's words drew widespread approval from the others, and Link thought for a moment and said, "How's it going for Chinese food?" ”

"Oh my God, boss, you really came to earth like Jesus."

Everyone was excited to hear Link propose to eat Chinese food. In the United States, Chinese restaurants are not accessible to everyone, and they are very expensive.

If ordinary people want to eat Chinese food, they can only eat it in small restaurants owned by Chinese, and the price is not cheap.

"Guys, keep working, supper is down, I'm going to get in touch."

Link said as he walked out of the studio.

Link's TV station is located right in Chinatown, and as soon as you go out, you'll be on a lively street. Chinatown is home to a large number of Chinese Americans, and there are many Chinese Americans who do not speak English, especially many old men.

As soon as he walked out of the TV station, a few Chinese people in the street shops greeted Link.

"Lin Zai, how did you become an English-speaking woman on the TV station? Where did Lao Wang go? ”

"Yes, why didn't yesterday's Hong Kong drama continue to be broadcast today? The only thing in the TV station was the building that was on fire. ”

……

A few old uncles and aunts said one by one, for them, Chinatown is the land where they live, and as for what happens in other parts of the United States, they don't care at all.

Because they don't speak English, many of them have lived here for decades, and some have never even stepped out of Chinatown since they came to the United States.

Link had a big head and explained to a few uncles and aunts what had happened today, but in the end, they only understood that it was a building that had been hit by a plane.

"Alas, it seems that there must be a Chinese channel, otherwise these old people who have watched CAA TV for more than 20 years will have no TV to watch in the future."

Link was thinking in his head as he ordered Chinese food at the Great Wall restaurant in Chinatown.

"CAA has always had only one channel, and now this channel can't say anything and can't be switched back to being a Chinese channel, otherwise all this hard work will be in vain."

Link thought about opening a new channel as he slowly walked back.

At this time, Link suddenly saw a bright black sè car parked in front of his TV station, and two tall men, a black man and a white man, got out of it.

They were all dressed in black sè suits, black sè sunglasses, and wireless communication devices tucked behind their ears. Looking at their bulging pockets, Link didn't have to think about it to know that it must be a pistol.

The two men glanced up at the rusty sign that read "Chinese Television in Chinatown, New York" (CAA TV) and walked towards the low building in front of them.

"Wait, who are you looking for?"

Link walked over briskly and couldn't help but ask.

The two men looked at him through the black lenses, and the black man said, "Let's look for Mr. Link." ”

"Hello, I am." Link pointed to himself.

"Hello Mr. Link, we belong to the FBI, this is our ID, please come back with us." The black man pulled out his ID and showed it to Link.

Link glanced at it and knew that the other party was really an FBI agent, but he didn't understand what they were looking for him.

"I'm a U.S. citizen, not an illegal immigrant, are you mistaken?" Link said strangely.

"We're not in charge of illegal immigration, Mr. Link, you'd better come with us, or we won't mind helping you." The white man tilted his neck and said with some intimidation.

Link had long heard of the FBI's "work style", and they were also "regulars" in many American movies.

"Okay, but I'd like to be able to arrange it first, and then I'll go with you."

Seeing the other party nodding, Link quickly arranged everything for his subordinates, and then told them to let Jack come back to the town, and then got into the FBI car.
