"Seriously, Microsoft's DirectX is a piece of compared to our Glide, I know, I know PC games are almost impossible to get around the Windows platform, but I assure you, this evaluation is based entirely on facts......"

"John Carmack has never liked Microsoft, OK? We'll join forces with him next June to shake the world, and you'll know which side he's on by then. ”

"It went well, everything went well, the design, the tape-out...... The licensed board manufacturers have all obtained our ES chips and public solutions, such as Dimeng, Elsa, and Innovation ......"

"Anyway, you'll see next June!"

Song Ya was still a step late, and the 3DFX trio was also at that game show, and shortly after the world's richest man took the stage for John Carmack's game and next year's DOOM esports tournament, they gave a sour interview, and it was a wild bite to catch Microsoft's DirectX.

"These guys." Song Ya helplessly held her forehead and said to Dr. Chen, "Didn't we send a professional manager?" ”

"Yes, they are still in the run-in period, although this manager also has a background in the chip industry, but he can't get involved in the technical level at present, and the 3DFX thing is too new. His expertise is in chip production and inventory management. ”

Dr. Chan replied, "We can't shut these three people, they have a certain amount of prestige, connections and influence in the industry. Many big bulls in the computer industry speak more directly, DirectX is really not good enough, the trio can attract a lot of attention for 3DFX at this time, it's not necessarily a bad thing, Microsoft is not so stingy, it's too early to bow down. ”

"Hmm."

Song Ya crossed his fingers and moved his joints viciously, "Let the headhunter dig a marketing manager again, and I must control the mouths of these three liars before June next year!" ”

Wow, wow, wow, wow......

At seven o'clock the next night, accompanied by the majestic Game of Thrones music and the opening of the A+CN evening newsree, the director pulled down one of the putts in his hand and pushed the other up, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the A+CN evening news, this is our first episode, I'm Gordon, and on my left is my partner ......"

In the small studio studio, there was a group of people standing against the wall, except for Song Ya himself and his subordinates, most of the others were from Comcast and Northern Trust, and everyone was staring at the studio scene on the screen wall with bated breath, trying not to disturb the work and communication of the director team.

"Our first news came from the White House, where the Attorney-General issued a new speech in response to the follow-up discussion of the Simpson case, in which he urged states to pass stricter laws on the system of broadcasting court hearings......

The director cut the picture to Washington, D.C., and the reporter took the White House as the background to briefly introduce the camera and then began to play the clip of the president's speech in the morning, and the atmosphere in the room was a little more relaxed, "Everything is going well? O'Grady asked the people of Comcast.

"It looks like so."

The Comcast people and their professionals whispered a few words and nodded in agreement, and A+CN borrowed a free-air channel resource with good ratings from his family, forty-five minutes, and forty-five minutes in evening primetime.

"Let's go out and talk."

News is always boring, Gordon's style and ideal is to do serious news, Song Ya waited until the second one, the Congressional disagreement over the federal budget, felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and didn't want to disturb the busy work of the directors, so he took people to the conference room to watch TV lightly.

The premiere has been prepared for a long time, very sufficient, very professional video materials to cooperate with the broadcast of major domestic and international news, and the reporter of the first international news South Africa station also interviewed Mandela face-to-face.

"Do you remember this picture?" Before ending the interview, the reporter of the South African station took Song Yan's photo of 'grandfather and grandson' to Mandela for personal identification.

"I don't remember the specific situation at that time, but I know that there is such a thing, I didn't expect APLUS to achieve what it is today, I wish him ......" the old man replied very face-saving.

For the first time, laughter rang out in the room.

However, A+CN's strength is limited after all, and in the future, some news can only buy photos from other news agencies to 'look at the picture and speak', especially the international part.

Comcast's people kept holding the phone to answer the time-based ratings they counted over there, and they weren't very good, and the ratings fell, down a lot.

"TV is a very long-term career, and everyone's current recognition of A+CN is not enough." O'Grady dismisses Songya.

"It's okay, I expected it."

The decline is relative to the historical ratings of this station, and after the channel that really belongs to A+CN is actually obtained in the future, it will be thankful that the black 24-hour news station can have the current ratings, after all, the audience will need to spend real money to subscribe, "Wait, Gordon told me that the exciting part is in the final Simpsons case in-depth feature, and the first episode will be broadcast today." ”

Alicia didn't come, she and Peter went to run a canvassing event, the model couple only appeared in the domestic part for about ten seconds, Gordon is very ambitious, he will not pay too much attention to the news of the location of the station, for fear of giving potential subscribers across the country the first impression of a regional TV station.

Of course, Gordon was aware of the boss's political leanings, and both the coverage of Peter and Alicia was more positive.

"Typhoon Gordon is very stable, and this TV station makes me feel as if it has existed before, and it has always been there."

The Comcast man said in between the phone calls.

"After all, he has been working at BET for so many years, but from another perspective, it can also be said that there is a lack of novelty?" O'Grady laughed: "It's not easy to come up with new ideas on the news station, it's the same all over the world. ”

"Here we go." Song Yachao looked at the TV set Nunu, and the upper right corner of the studio in the picture appeared Simpson's famous prison photo.

"For the Simpson case that has just ended, I think the people of all rice still remember it vividly......"

Gordon gives an in-depth report after an introduction: Everything You Know About Simpson, Part 1.

"O.J. Simpson was born in ......"

The following is a short documentary, ten minutes long, and Gordon finds time to slip out of the studio and meet the people in the conference room.

"Very good, nothing went wrong." Song Ya encouraged him.

"Yes, I'm afraid of low-level mistakes on the first day." Gordon happily looked at Comcast's man, "Ratings ......"

The Comcast man silently shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"It's going to get better and better." Song Ya patted him on the shoulder, "There should be a significant increase in the ratings of the feature reporting period." ”

"I hope so."

Gordon talked to everyone about the gains and losses, listened to the opinions, "Tomorrow I'm going to be a little more gentle, and I've prepared material for some cities to over-enforce the law against African Americans. ”

A+CN refuses to be bound by regional labels, but the African-American community must be grasped, neither Gordon nor Songya himself expects to build a news platform that can be accepted by whites at the same time, Comcast accepts, shares and devotes itself to helping A+CN is also a segment of African-American subscribers.

The ambition to create a 24-hour news station belonging to the black people themselves is great, but from another point of view, the black population is only 10 percent of the whole meter, and the percentage of those who are willing to pay for a small news station is very small.

"Don't stress too much Gordon."

Before Gordon, who was urged back to the studio by the staff, left, Song Ya shouted at his back, in the Simpsons special, Song Ya arranged for politicians or former politicians such as Daley Jr., Dingkins, a group of black stars in Los Angeles who had dealt with Simpson, the African American leader Pastor Jesse Jackson, Malcolm Ex's widow, etc., in short, he really did his best.

In this regard, his accumulation of network resources is far inferior to BET's Johnson, but Gordon should have been mentally prepared to come to A+CN to sit in a high position and get a high salary, and he does not owe Gordon.

The forty-five-minute news program ended at the end of Simpson's illustrious football career, and it was only the first episode, interspersed with many first-hand interviews with his friends, alumni, coaches, and teammates at the time.

"Cheers!"

In addition to Comcast's people, who were still waiting for the ratings report, Song Ya and all the staff of A+CN opened champagne in the studio to celebrate the successful completion of the TV premiere program.

"How?" Gordon, of course, was the most nervous, and when he saw Comcast's people put down the phone, he hurriedly went over and whispered a question.

The people at Comcast laughed and gave a thumbs up, and everyone was even more excited, cheering and celebrating.

"No, the ratings haven't improved at all, and they've been declining."

But when a few minds got together, the Comcast people told the truth, "Gordon, re-cut tomorrow's second episode, it's a little more explosive, you're a veteran media person, you know what to do." ”
