School was about to start, everything had to be sped up, and in the afternoon, he and Alicia appeared together at the office building of A+CN.

The political adviser who came to Chicago to meet looked at the two suspiciously, and then reached out to open the folder that Alicia was holding on his chest, "Newly bought?" The style is fabulous. ”

"Hey, watch out for Sloane." Alicia leaned sideways to avoid her fingers hooking her neckline, "Don't make such a joke in front of a child. ”

"Huh?" Song Ya frowned.

She and Miss Sloan both burst out laughing until Gordon, who had come down to pick them up, showed up.

"APLUS, GORDON, SORRY, IT'S A BIT CONGESTED ON THE ROAD."

A few people stood in the garage chatting while waiting for Michelle, who was driving herself, her husband had announced his candidacy for the state House of Representatives in the Hyde Park district, and the campaign team had been set up, and as Daley's former mayor's assistant and leader of several affirmative and charitable organizations, she was very politically sensitive, and she has been enthusiastically helping since A+CN rented office space in Chicago.

"It's okay, let's go up, thank you for doing this time for us Michelle." Gordon hugged her, and the two had actually known each other for many years, and both were African-American, so they were natural allies.

"APLUS, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BACK MUCH LATELY?"

Everyone squeezed into the elevator, Michelle asked.

"Yes, New York, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley...... I hardly had a day off during the summer vacation. Song Ya complained to her, "What about your husband?" Will he still teach in law school next year when the campaign begins? ”

"Of course, we haven't made up our minds to make him a full-time politician yet." Michelle replied.

"Actually, you might as well come by yourself." It's all familiar, Song Ya said with a smile.

"It depends, if he doesn't make the choice."

Michelle didn't say anything to death, although she is stronger than her husband in terms of personal ability and political connections, but her husband's image is better, and speaking of which, her husband's mother is Jewish, if you follow the matriarchal algorithm over there, you can actually count it as Jewish, I heard that the campaign manager found a Jew, but according to the principle of a drop of blood, it must be black, and self-identification must be. Fundraising Jews do, votes blacks out, and take advantage of both ends. Of course, that is based on the best deduction, and there are many lessons from the past that the two ends of the black skin and white heart are not people, such as Patsy Sutton of the Manhattan Gang who overturned on this sensitive issue.

The floor where A+CN is located is soon there, and all the employees are already lining up at the front desk entrance to welcome the boss's first arrival, and Gordon has prepared a film crew, which is the benefit of opening a TV station.

"Hello, hello, how is life in Chicago? Where do you live now? ”

Song Ya cordially shook hands with the employees one by one, A+CN probably spent millions of dollars before and after the start-up, accounting for 71% of the shares, and the remaining 29% was funded by the pure investment purpose of Northern Trust and its partner Comcast, and most of the employees are currently busy with the premiere of the 45-minute news program in October. A+CN also owns a 5% stake in Dorothy's black women's television station in Baltimore, a board of directors, Chicago office space and OB vans are rented, there is a big news station and a new OB van in Washington, D.C., most of the employees are people who were previously poached from the inner city broadcaster Washington Radio, and the South African news station will be built before the premiere, and the scale is very small, probably two reporters and a small three-person film crew will be sent over there.

"It's okay, I've heard it's going to be cold here soon." The director of the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Company got the promised executive position, and the power was only under Gordon, and he smiled as he shook hands: "We'll be amazed by the whole meter by October." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

Song Ya and Gordon's partner, the female host poached from Dorothy's female TV station, and a newly recruited male financial anchor shook hands with the female weather forecasting anchor, and it happened that the two men and two women were labeled together, both of whom were black. The appeal of the first black 24-hour news station was somewhat unexpectedly strong, except for Gordon and his partner and the top radio executives poached from the inner city radio company, the other key employees were not paid more than they could get at other stations, and some of them were even willing to stay here for a low salary and work for two years to accumulate seniority.

"The sparrows are small, they have all the organs...... "He walked around the inside of the TV station accompanied by the group.

"What?" Gordon didn't expect him to come up with a sentence in Chinese.

"Nothing ......"

Song Ya walked into the general control room, which is different from the control room of the recording room, where you will not see the studio directly, and there is also an additional TV wall, with handwritten labels on each screen, and only a few are currently lit, and the signal should be transmitted from several cameras in the news studio.

The equipment is not very new, it is second-hand from a poorly run TV station in Chicago, but this is where the most money is paid. Oh no, just in terms of hardware, Gordon alone could take five million dollars a year, but fortunately the others are much cheaper.

At the moment, Gordon is worth the money, and the small TV station is in order with him.

When the Comcast people arrived, the others continued their work, and all those who were qualified walked into the conference room.

The meeting room of A+CN is very small, and this time it is very crowded, and it is a little crowded, but it should be temporary, and when Comcast gradually increases the broadcast time according to the milestones of the contract until the channel resources are finally transferred, it may have to get a separate small building. Except for themselves, men wear shirts and ties, and women wear professional suits.

By then, subscribers should have enough money to cover themselves, right?

"What's on the agenda for today's meeting, Linda." Song Ya thought about it as she naturally sat down at the top of the long conference table.

"UH, APLUS......" Ms. Sloan winked at him.

"What's wrong?" He noticed that the expressions on the other people's faces were a little embarrassed.

"Your seat is ......here," Ms. Sloane patted a row of folding chairs in the corner, "because the press is independent or something." ”

"Oh."

It seems to be the case, the boss is the boss, and the boss of the TV station can only be Gordon, otherwise his political tendencies will be deeply bound to the TV station, which is not a good thing for the news station that claims to be neutral and objective.

"Mine."

He went over there and sat down, and the Comcast men sat down with Michelle, Alicia, and Linda.

Today's meeting was about the focus of the news program after it was launched, and Gordon hosted it, and he didn't sit down, but kept standing behind that seat and talking.

"There's a general election next year, and South Africa's news is also popular with the African-American community, as well as discrimination incidents in various places, serious news about African-American celebrities, and Afro-American related bills in Parliament......"

Gordon finished the assignment and said, "But I still want to focus on the Simpsons case." ”

"Didn't BET's Johnson limit our start to the air after the jury results in the Simpson case?" Sloan asked.

"Yes, but storytelling with journalistic depth is my forte, Ms. Sloane."

Gordon replied: "Black and white people need someone to make a final closing statement, and they need someone to help them review the whole incident, and I'm going to make a series, and it's about ...... long."

"Sounds pretty good."

The closer to the final verdict date, the more popular the Simpson case will be in the United States, and after each live broadcast of the trial, it will cause a big discussion in the whole country, and the popularity of his single winning the top of the B chart is not enough to see at all, and the people of Comcast and Song Ya whispered a few words and asked: "How long does this content take?" ”

"Simpson will face a civil lawsuit soon. Johnson was able to stop me from following up on the criminal case, but the 'sequel' aspect ......"

Gordon gestured in quotation marks, "The civil lawsuit is moving forward enough for our show to last a minute or two once in a while, and more by the time it comes to trial." ”

"It's true that the Simpson case has made the people of the United States crazy, but it has been dragged on for a long time, and the people have seen the finale after getting the criminal verdict."

Michelle asked, "Are they willing to follow up on a civil lawsuit that only involves monetary damages like this year?" I feel like they're even going to have a rebellious mindset and don't want to hear anything about the Simpson at all. ”

"Uh......" Gordon didn't seem to want to contradict her face-to-face, and looked at Song Ya a little embarrassed.

"Don't look at me, you're the boss here, you're in charge of Gordon."

Song Ya raised his hands magnificently, "That's what I invited you to do." ”
