Chapter 658: Gordon's Ambition
"Hello."
Cassidi waited for the other party to walk away, casually took care of the messy personal image, and drove out to the café.
"Miss Cassidy, right?"
The other party waved in the booth by the window, "What do you want to drink?" ”
"I'll do it myself." Cassidy called for the waiter, "Thank you for a cup of Americano." ”
"Yes, we should drink this, you're beautiful, especially the hair, Miss Cassity." The other party leaned back in his chair and smiled and compared his hands to the frame, "Your father is Irish, and your mother is German, right?" ”
"I thought you came to me to talk about my father's case."
Cassidy subconsciously touched her blonde hair and began to dig out her wallet to pay the bill, "Sorry, I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding between us, we don't have anything to talk about." ”
"Don't be nervous, please sit Miss Cassity."
The other party smiled and raised his hand in surrender, "We do want to help Vic, and before I came, our protest documents have been faxed to the FBI, and I believe there will be results soon." ”
Cassidy looked at him puzzled.
"And this ......," the other party pulled out a check and pushed it in front of Cassidy, "I heard that Mr. McGee and his colleagues' accounts have been frozen?" You see, this is the first donation we raised, and I don't have to worry about the lawyer's fees at all, so I volunteered. ”
Cassiti's mouth opened in surprise at the thirty-five thousand on the check.
"Of course, this is shared by your father and three other colleagues, but I just arrived in Chicago and came to your house first, is your mother there?" The other party asked.
"Well, she's not here, she's gone to my grandfather's house, just tell me anything." Cassidi did not tell her that her mother was still planning to divorce her father.
"No problem, Cassidy, I know you're a top student at the University of Chicago."
"I'm going to teach you what to do, first of all, you have to organize your father and his colleagues' relatives and friends, and then let me represent you to negotiate with the Chicago police, the police and firefighters' union, and the FBI......"
"The anonymous letter has worked."
Two days later, in Bedford Hills, Old Michael quietly reported that "Cassidy has been approached by the Conservative White Organisation, and they have begun to unite the arrested SA relatives and friends to put pressure on all sides, and now there is a bit of a momentum......
"The Red Necks are really mobile."
Song Ya was very comfortable with the idea of sending an anonymous letter, "Let's watch for a few days, you have to keep abreast of the changes in the situation in Chicago." ”
On the eve of the wedding, he was busy with his feet on the ground, while also preparing ammunition for the troubles that were about to erupt, "Hello, Mr. Sutton. ”
Public opinion matters, and he has changed his mind about Patsy Sutton and his inner-city radio company, and now it is not a bad thing for him to have a media outlet with good prestige and momentum among the black community, even if it costs a lot every year, and he will get over the current difficulties first, and then say, "Hello, Mr. Gordon." ”
He also met Gordon, the host of BET and a well-known media person, who did not come with Sutton, but they were both top media people among blacks and had a good relationship.
"APLUS, I WISH YOU A HAPPY WEDDING IN ADVANCE."
Patsy Sutton and Gordon smiled and shook hands with the youngest black light in front of them, "I heard you're interested in investing in the Inner City Broadcasting Company?" Gordon asked.
Happy Newlyweds...... It's not good to say, after the rape incident, Mariah Carey's attitude towards herself has changed a lot, but now that the wedding is coming, she doesn't want to show it for the time being, but she is not a woman who is good at hiding her emotions, and Song Ya herself can still feel it.
"I don't know exactly what the inner-city broadcasters are doing, but Ms. Shirley Fleming is a media person I respect."
Even if he wanted to buy it, Song Ya didn't plan to stick his head out and let the other party stab him in the head, he said in a roundabout way: "I also trust her." ”
"Yes, Ms. Fleming has been a good friend of mine for many years, and she's also very supportive of the black media."
Patsy Sutton said.
"The inner city radio company is very powerful, although the business of serious news stations is not very good now, but it still has a large number of African American media people that I respect, they are very strong and very ethical."
Gordon also took the opportunity to help his old friend.
"I know, I'll evaluate it, and I'll find someone to start working on it after the wedding." Song Ya smiled and nodded.
Patsy Sutton was glad to hear this, and the old man reciprocated to Gordon, "You're not having a great time at BET, are you?" Gordon. ”
"Me? Nothing like that. Gordon smiled wryly.
"Johnson recently opened a new entertainment company to produce and provide film, television, variety and other content for BET."
Sutton commented, "He made up his mind to develop BET in the direction of deep entertainment. ”
"Originally, BET was called Black Entertainment TV, wasn't it?"
Song Ya didn't know what Gordon meant, "Johnson is in the right direction, right?" I've heard that BET is almost the 21st largest station in terms of subscribers in the whole meter, which is the highest achievement of an African-American media person. ”
"It's also the only achievement, and now that the direction of BET has been set, there is not much room for serious journalists like Gordon to develop." Sutton said.
"Oh?"
Song Ya looked at Gordon, "You want to?" ”
"I would have suggested that Mr. Johnson start a 24-hour news channel like CUU, and now that the draft telecommunications bill is being discussed in the Senate, I judge that soon cable television will be loosened, and now NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX are all going to enter the original field of CUU to compete, and a series of 24-hour news stations are in full swing, and I think we black people should also have our own 24-hour news station."
Gordon complained, "But he didn't support my idea." ”
"That kind of news station is really too expensive, and it needs to have reporters stationed all over the world......"
Song Ya talked about the matter, "Although BET is so successful, it still has no strength in that field, right?" After all, the competition in the future will be unprecedentedly fierce, but the opponents are all very strong top TV networks. ”
"World news doesn't have much to focus on the black community, and our main focus has been on the country."
"A lot of black elites support me that idea, so I've been looking around lately," Gordon said. ”
"yes, it's a great idea." Sutton agreed.
"But you're going to ...... like that," Song Ya looked at him hesitantly.
"Yes, Mr. Johnson would be upset then, but now my career has hit a plateau."
Gordon knew what he meant by what he didn't say.
"I see."
Song Ya nodded, Gordon is already a top African-American news host, and now he may be ambitious to look forward to the management and even founder position of the TV station, if BET sets the direction of development in entertainment content, his personal development as a news host has indeed come to an end.
"A few million can start a new TV station, APLUS, Johnson himself started BET from getting John Malone's 200,000 meters knife, of course, the channel resources he provides are more valuable, and the cost of entering the industry is not as big as the outside world imagined."
Gordon finally explained, "The competition between cable operators is going to get tougher, they need channel resources, they need subscribers, as long as they can bring subscribers, the TV stations will be on track soon." ”
I'm here to ask for money again......
Lie to me, not to mention the competitive environment and inflation for so many years when Johnson founded BET, the creation and operation are not the same thing at all, and now millions can burn for a few months? Song Ya was a little helpless, a 24-hour news station, even if it only focuses on black news stations in the United States, the annual maintenance cost is not a small amount, and the competition will intensify after the passage of the telecommunications bill.
"I don't know anything about the industry, and I turned it down when MC Hammer wanted to sell me his TV station, right? Linda. ”
He hinted to Linda.
"Yes, MC Hammer has managed his property in the future, including the specific affairs of acquiring and operating that small California TV station, raising the TV station is the same as raising his thoroughbred team, which can bring him a little social status and vanity improvement, but the speed of burning money is a little unbearable, and in the end it almost caused MC Hammer to go bankrupt."
Linda complained.
"APLUS, you're not MC Hammer, and no black or white person would compare him to you right now."
Gordon laughed: "Owning a news station, in addition to the promotion of social status and vanity, will also give you some unimaginable power personally, do you know Johnson's current status?" As a member of the Elephant Party, he has been borrowing more and more from him over the years. Maybe the Donkey Party is also happy to see an African-American media mogul of its own? At least it's good to have a voice for the black community. ”
"The black community has always been very supportive of the Donkey Party, and the Donkey Party is not as urgent as the Party." Song Ya said.
"So you've done research?" Sutton asked with a smile.
"Well, of course I think about it when I'm fine, but now ...... I'm only twenty years old, and the TV station ...... me "Song Ya smiled wryly.
"There are the most professional talents here." Sutton pointed to Gordon.
"But the timing is not right, Gordon, as you have just said, Mr. Johnson is very unhappy with your idea, and I don't want to offend him now."
Song Ya shook his head, a thousand birds are not as good as a bird in the forest, and he will not offend the BET, which has a huge influence in the black crowd, at this critical time, for the name of an ethereal media tycoon.
"Think about it."
Seeing that the young singer and billionaire had nothing to do, Gordon had no choice but to get up and leave, "Of course, I hope you can help me keep it a secret." ”
"Of course."
