Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There are some rules that have to be followed!
These rule-makers are the people who stand at the top of the pyramid, and Walter hates and fears them. It was also by chance that he realized that this world is not as simple as it seems, and there are invisible circles.
Those who are reported by the media are not really rich. The people who are really rich are the people who are unheard of, they are the invisible rich and the invisible power. Now Walter is only a peripheral member of this circle, and he has not even touched the edge of the circle.
"As long as I get this right, I will be able to join them and be a member of the top of the pyramid!"
Walter? Disney's goal is not ABC at all, but at the top of the pyramid, which he's been trying to climb. Since he was sensible, Walter has never stopped working hard, and he believes that his efforts will be rewarded and he will become a human being.
The Walt Disney Company teamed up with NBC to deal with ABC TV. The first is to poach people, dig up the backbone of ABC, and then launch new programs to attract the audience of ABC TV, reduce the ratings of the other party, and let manufacturers reduce the advertising costs invested in ABC TV.
These are just ordinary offensives, and he has a big trick in his hand, and if necessary, Walter will not hesitate to use it.
In the face of these offensives, Alex used the method of soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, and the other party poached people away, and he immediately filled the vacant positions. He wanted to see how many people the other party could poach. If your entire company is poached. Then it is better not to fight this war, it is better to admit defeat as soon as possible.
Naturally, he can't let the other party poach everyone, and not only that, but he also has to constantly cheer up those employees. Stir up the momentum of the same hatred and hatred, and stabilize the camp on your side.
So Alex just went to ABC TV here, and he turned around and went to CPT, record labels, global airlines, investment companies, etc., and all the Carpenter family businesses went around in circles. Lots of turnarounds, dizzying work schedules, and exciting live presentations.
Soon, the first wave of companies subsided. Alex's reflexes are so fast. It's handled so well that it makes the others lose their glasses.
In their opinion, the Carpenter family has long been in a hurry when they are attacked like this. Take care of yourself. Don't say that so many companies have problems together. It's just that after the backbone of a company has run halfway. It will take a long time to find the right people to take their place.
Replace it with someone else's company, and something like this happens. It must take as long as a month, as short as half a month to reorganize and adjust. Who is suitable for going up and who is not suitable for going up is not something that can be known in a few words after a face-to-face interview. It is necessary to have an in-depth understanding and to be able to determine the situation from the long-term assessment.
Otherwise, you can see if a company replaces most of its people and you can see what happens to it.
That's just judging by the experience of ordinary people, Alex is not an ordinary person, he not only has an "IQ" of 22o, but also has a variety of abilities.
Yes, Alex used his special skills in the process. When he met with those employees, he already had a clear understanding of the basic situation of these people.
Even more than the employees themselves, because Alex is free to flip through the memories and experiences of these people. You can know what they have been thinking, what they have done, what they have longed for, and what they are able to do. Even their personalities can quickly know whether they love to lie, whether they can do practical things, and so on.
"Everything is in my hands!" Alex didn't just say it casually.
Talents are everywhere, especially in a highly competitive enterprise like theirs, where a large number of talents are recruited every year. However, it is not often that there are people who succeed in the top of the ranks, after all, it takes time and luck to become these so-called backbones.
As the saying goes, the times make heroes. If there is no opportunity, even the hidden dragon will not be able to travel above the nine heavens. Take Lao Mao, a great man, as an example, if he hadn't grown up in the environment of that era, maybe his greatest achievement would have been to be a rural teacher.
Through Alex's efforts, the Carpenter family's business quickly stabilized, but this is just the beginning. The enemy has not yet been repulsed, and he must not take it lightly, and must always be ready for any challenge.
Sure enough, NBC and Disney took the lead, and they announced that they were going to launch several new programs, including music programs, sports programs, news programs, and so on. At a glance, you can see that this is for the ratings of the ABC TV program, not only the broadcast time is the same, but most of the people who produce the program are from abnetbsp; The Disney Company has also launched an animation channel program dedicated to the old Disney Company's old animations. Since they don't have their own TV station, they can only get through guΓ²nbnetbsp; "It turns out that they exchanged shares for this!" When many people in the industry saw the news, they talked about it.
"NBC played a good game with Disney! It's a win-win for them! β
"I'm afraid ABC is going to be in trouble, all the programs are blocked all of a sudden, and the ratings are going to drop for sure!"
There are a lot of people lost, and Alex is not worried, and if the ratings drop, it will be a bit troublesome.
It's just a bit of a hassle, though! He can handle it.
The NBC's offensive against Disney quickly provoked a strong reaction from the ABC, especially those employees who had just taken up their new positions, and they were excited to scold the betrayers. At the same time, he came up with various ways to increase the interest of the show and try his best to retain the audience.
Not only that, but these employees also came up with a lot of ideas, such as telephone surveys, lucky audience lotteries, prize quizzes, and so on.
"It seems that everyone is working hard, but this is not enough, we can't blindly defend!"
Alex looked around and slowly said his thoughts: "We're going to release a new show, doesn't NBC TV have a very stable rating in variety entertainment programs?" We're going to have a hard time with each other! β
"Hard-hitting? Are we going to make a big fuss about variety shows too? β
"NBC TV has dominated variety shows for decades, and many viewers have been watching it since birth, and their popularity is very strong, I'm afraid this hard fight is a bit suspenseful!"
"Wouldn't that be a bit of a trade-off? That's not where we excel. β
Yes, NBC TV is one of the variety shows in the eyes of Americans in this era. Even CBS, one of the three giants in the American TV field, failed to compete with it, and even if the variety shows of CBS and ABC were combined, they did not dare to broadcast variety shows at the same time as each other.
It can be said that NBC TV variety shows account for nearly half of their advertising revenue. If NBC loses this high ground, then their attack will be completely defeated.
Alex slapped the table to stop the discussion, and said, "I already have a perfect plan, and for the sake of secrecy, I will ask the person who read it to stay." The rest of the people go out first, and the content of this meeting must not be leaked! β
After leaving a few key people behind, Alex said, "We'll have to wait for a few people, and they'll be there soon!" β
Still waiting for someone? Who is it?
While everyone's minds were full of questions, Alex and the others arrived. It turned out to be a few CEOs of record companies and agent companies, they were most familiar with Rudy and Deere, and the others had seen but were not very familiar.
"Alright, we're all here. Then I'll tell you what this show is! β
Alex stood up and walked over to a board in the corner of the conference room, where he picked up chalk and wrote a few large words on it: "American Idol!" β
American Idol? Do you want to make certain singers popular in order to attract the audience?
When everyone saw this name, countless thoughts passed through their hearts, and as for whether they guessed correctly, they had to listen to Alex's explanation.
The so-called American Idol is the so-called talent show, but this show is still a little different from the original American Idol. Alex did not completely copy the American idol, but synthesized the advantages of similar shows he watched and made up a talent show of this era.
"To participate, you must be a U.S. citizen and be eligible to work in the U.S. This one is a must! β
Alex wrote the first entry rule on the blackboard, and then continued: "There is no age limit for participation, but those under the age of 18 need permission from their families to participate." The information filled in must be true and valid, and the program team will conduct special verification, and if there is any false information filled in, it will be disqualified. β
Seeing this, the people present still didn't understand what this event was used for, what kind of purpose it had, and so on. However, they wisely did not bother, and instead let Alex continue to write on the blackboard.
"The process of our program competition includes auditions, semi-finals, and finals, of which the auditions include primary auditions, mobile auditions, auditions, and judges' auditions. The so-called primary selection is actually to screen the qualifications of the applicants and exclude those who do not meet the requirements......"
Alex introduced these processes one by one, and only after he said that he was almost finished, he smiled and explained the final highlights: "I think everyone must be guessing in their hearts what our show competition is!" β
Everyone nodded hurriedly, waiting for Alex to announce the answer, and Rudy even said loudly: "Wait, I guess it's a competition to sing?" That's why you called us over? β
"You hit part of it, it's not just about singing in competitions! More than just singing, Rudy! (To be continued......)
