"Brother Yu, the flying theater chain has a total of one hundred and eight theaters and three hundred canvases in North America, which can be regarded as a medium-sized theater chain. Acquisition negotiations are coming to an end, and they are asking for $180 million, and we're still asking for $163 million. ”

Gandalf Huang Wenfeng held a Wen Jiàn clip, with a gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a shrewd and capable image, and reported to Yan Qingyu.

Yan Qingyu frowned slightly and said, "This price, isn't it a bit high?" Land in the United States isn't worth much now, is it? ”

Facing Yan Qingyu's questioning, Huang Wenfeng's face tightened slightly, and then explained: "Brother Yu, that's the case, the theaters of the Flying Cinema Line are mainly distributed in the eastern big cities of the United States. Bustling cities like New York, Washington, and Texas and California. Even in the midst of an economic crisis, low prices remain high in such a cosmopolitan metropolis. ”

Yan Qingyu nodded and said, "Okay, continue." ”

Huang Wenfeng exhaled secretly, and then continued to report: "Sauron Music Company is also a medium-sized company, and there are currently a total of forty-three employees within the company. Although the composition and lyricist departments are not particularly good, and the company's products have never been in the top 100 on the Billboard charts, they have been in the top 200 several times.

Billboard is not only the album sales evaluation chart in North America, but also accepts music distribution ratings from countries around the world, so, overall, Sauron's qualifications are still good. Their offer was $78 million, which of course was a bit outrageous, and after two months of negotiations, the price was now around $40 million. ”

Yan Qingyu frowned and said, "A music company is so expensive? ”

Huang Wenfeng smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu, Sauron has a history of more than sixty years in the United States, and its most valuable thing is not its history, but its song copyright library. ”

Yan Qingyu shook his head and said, "It's worthless to us, give up Sauron and directly re-register a record company." ”

Now that Yan Qingyu has made a decision. Then Huang Wenfeng no longer persuaded anything, although in order to acquire this record company, he and the people in the finance department of the legal department have been running for more than two months.

However, although the acquisition was cancelled, he felt that he still benefited a lot from this continuous business negotiation.

"The last and most important part. We have commissioned Laura Space Systems to produce three television satellites for us and have contacted Cape Canaveral Air Force Launch Base in Florida......"

Huang Wenfeng said with a slightly excited face, such a thing as TV satellites, even for a country. It's all a big deal, but he has contact with and deals with this kind of heavy incident, and he is very excited in his heart.

However, before he could finish speaking, Yan Qingyu frowned again and said, "Three, why do we want so many?" ”

Huang Wenfeng's face froze, and then he smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu, this is determined by the characteristics of TV satellites. Generally speaking. The television signals we receive are all transmitted directly from satellites in geostationary orbit.

Such satellites are located about 36,000 kilometres above the Earth's equator and orbit in a great circular orbit 36,000 kilometres above the Earth's equator.

One of the most important features of this type of satellite is that its orbit is strictly the same as that of the Earth's autobiographical cycle, and its orbit is fixed over the equator.

That is, such satellites are stationary relative to the Earth. To put it simply, in the eyes of people on Earth, such satellites are constant in the sky.

This feature has caused a consequence. That's coverage. The largest area covered by a satellite is one-third of the earth's surface, so if we want to let the Chinese people around the world receive our satellite signals, we need to launch at least three synchronous satellites at 120° to each other. That is, it can achieve global television and satellite television coverage except for a few areas in the Antarctic and the Arctic. ”

Yan Qingyu's face was a little embarrassed, and she said with a smile: "Ah Feng, don't mind, I don't know much about some knowledge in this area, you can grasp the specific situation more." ”

Huang Wenfeng's eyes were very firm, full of loyalty, and he looked at Yan Qingyu and said: "Brother Yu, you can promote me from a car wash boy to today's position in one fell swoop, in my heart, in addition to gratitude, respect is respect." The ancients had a saying, called a scholar to die for a confidant, I Huang Wenfeng don't know if it is a scholar, but I am willing to do my best for Brother Yu, and then die. ”

Yan Qingyu laughed twice when she heard this, patted Huang Wenfeng's shoulder, and said, "Brother yourself, what you said is too much. What do I have to send my brother to death? Do it well, and we will surely create an era that belongs to our brothers. Haha, well, these words are in our hearts, waiting for us to realize them with actions.

Now let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of satellite TV. I just know that the cost of launching one is about $200 million. How much does it cost? ”

Huang Wenfeng looked at Yan Qingyu with fanatical eyes, and it took a while to calm down, take a deep breath, and said, "Brother Yu, it's like this. Generally speaking, the transmission of radio and television signals, whether digital signals or analog signals, has three transmission modes: terrestrial, cable, and satellite.

The ground is the ground microwave method, more than 10 years ago in Hong Kong, everyone used the lever antenna on the TV or the fishbone antenna erected outside is this transmission method, this transmission method requires the tower antenna erected by the radio and television department, or the microwave antenna, there is a certain coverage radius.

Cable is our most common, the way in which the TV signal is distributed to each household through the main fiber optic cable backbone network plus coaxial cable. For example, TVB and Phoenix in Hong Kong are like this.

Satellite TV, as one of the three major transmission methods of radio and television, is the most competitive standard. ”

Yan Qingyu pondered for a moment when she heard this, and said, "Let's talk about it, why is satellite TV the most competitive?" ”

Huang Wenfeng has done a lot of detailed understanding of this aspect, and now he is naturally confident, and said: "First of all, as I just said, satellite TV has a very wide coverage. A single television satellite can even cover one-third of the earth's surface area. At the same time, the other two transmission methods are far from enough.

Second, the quality of the image transmission is very high. Due to the large coverage area of geostationary satellites, the loss caused by the interference of intermediate links can be greatly reduced when transmitting TV signals over long distances. Radio waves from satellites are also less affected by tall buildings and mountain peaks, and help to improve reception quality because the travel of the radio waves through the atmosphere and the entire path they take are shorter.

And because there are few relay links and less signal distortion in satellite TV, the reception quality is very high. Therefore, the quality and stability of the TV signal are easy to guarantee.

In addition, the transmission of television signals by synchronous satellites can also avoid the adverse consequences caused by the influence of radio waves due to the change of transmission distance, and further improve the quality of transmission.

Receive satellite TV signals on the ground as long as you can. Theoretically, it is synchronized with the uplink signal of the program center, basically no interference, and the program signal quality is very high.

As for the cable station we watch, some programs are received by the local cable TV station through the antenna, and after mediation and modulation, photoelectric signal conversion and so on enter the local cable, there is a lot of noise interference, and the signal quality of the program is greatly reduced, resulting in a decrease in clarity.

Third, it is energy efficient. Satellite TV can serve a wide area with a small power, and the transmission power is only 200W live synchronous satellite, which can cover an area of several million square kilometers, rather than terrestrial radio and television, and build a TV transmission tower up to 200m on the ground, when the transmission power is 50kw, it covers an area of only 23,000 square kilometers.

Fourth, the reliability is high, and the live satellite TV is only affected by a few links (such as the earth satellite uplink station, satellite and space, etc.).

Small maintenance workload: Due to the small number of intermediate links in satellite TV live broadcast, there are no problems such as relay and amplification of zài cable lines, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. Strong ability to resist natural disasters, ground lines often pass through many earthquake areas, flood-stricken areas, coastal typhoon frequent areas, optical cables, cable networks are easily affected by natural disasters, and satellite TV is almost not affected by natural disasters.

So, Brother Yu, as long as our three TV satellites are lifted into the sky, then we will have a certain right to speak in the whole world. When you think about it, it's shocking and exciting. ”

Yan Qingyu was still relatively calm, and poured cold water and said: "Only when the TV station has an influence and someone watches our program, then we can have the right to speak." Otherwise, it's just a money-scattering boy. Launching one satellite is nearly $300 million, launching three, hum. By the way, how long do TV satellites last? ”

Huang Wenfeng was not discouraged, and still said with high morale: "The guarantee is fifteen years, in fact, it can be used for at least twenty or thirty years." Brother Yu, we must do a good job in this satellite TV network. As long as the influence of this TV network is greater, Brother Yu's voice in the world will be heavier. There are more than a billion Chinese in the world! ”

Yan Qingyu shook his head and said: "Don't be happy too early, first of all, it is not easy for our TV station to stand firm." None of the five major television networks in the United States has a fuel-efficient lamp. The most important thing is that the possibility of people on the mainland wanting to watch satellite TV is really not much. ”

Huang Wenfeng was puzzled: "Why? If we successfully launch three TV satellites, then anyone on the earth, as long as they buy a satellite signal receiver, can basically receive our satellite signal. ”

Yan Qingyu sighed and said, "Ideological issues, ideological ......" (to be continued......
