Ms. Sloan was very cautious and went out to find the payphone again, Goodman pushed the study window open, "Breathe aplus, and sleep for a while, you still have a notice for the night, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'll wait for Sloane to come back."

The cool breeze blowing in was shocking, Song Ya rubbed her face and walked out of the door, Mawota, who was guarding outside, had already changed shifts, and now it was Old Mike, and Linda seemed to have gone to rest, "Taraghi!" Grab something to eat and drink, and grab a blanket! ”

"Okay, okay." Taragi agreed from afar.

"Didn't you sleep all night?"

Mariah Carey followed the sound and appeared around the corner, her face was wearing a popular muddy green paste mask, and two slices of cucumbers were attached to the full apple muscles, Song Ya was almost startled by this ghostly appearance, "Almost." ”

"Hmph, don't go to sleep yet? Don't mess up our show with Brenda at night. She urged.

"Well, I'll squint in the study for a moment."

Song Ya took the blanket from Taraghi, motioned to her, and then locked herself and Goodman in the study.

It was about ten o'clock, and before eleven o'clock, he was pushed awake by Goodman, and Sloan returned.

"Gordon seems to be rejecting me." Sloan said solemnly.

"Rejection...... He refused? What is the rejection? Song Ya was puzzled, "Like?" I don't want to hear such vague answers at this time, Sloane. ”

Gordon told a lot about Jesse Helms, who began to openly support racist politicians in the '50s, and was rumored to be involved in the Ku Klux Klan. In the '60s, he was a leader in the 'White, Wake Up Before It's Too Late' movement, opposing the desegregation of public transportation, opposing the Civil Rights Act, opposing the Voting Rights Act, and almost every other civil rights policy. He was also anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-abortion, anti-federal funding of the HIV response, anti-telecommunications bills, and in '93 deliberately sang 'Dixie (the unofficial anthem of the Southern states that supported slavery during the Civil War, a term that also stands for white people in the North, as opposed to white Yankews in the North)'...... to the only black female senator in '93.

Sloan relayed: "Gordon obviously hates Jesse Helms, and he caught some politicians in North Carolina who support Jesse Helms, and he said that he and A+CN reporters and editors have been fighting hard for more than a month over the innocent shooting of a black guy in Charlotte, and although it is not clear whether he will stop the attack, I think the position has been made clear." ”

"He's a veteran media person, doesn't he know that this will cause trouble for his boss? Who did he think was paying him!? Song Ya angrily threw the blanket on the ground, "Damn, I invested tens of millions more on A+CN this year, but even Nger himself didn't watch this station." ”

"He also gave a reason." Sloan said.

"What reason?"

"The reason why Jesse Helms is called 'No Councilor' is that he works against everyone almost every time he votes and on major issues, and all the vetoes will be very eye-catching. Gordon said that Jesse Helms has been making 'wrong choices', 'he has always failed again and again', and "has always stood on the opposite side of history in major moments", such as when he was firmly on the side of the Grand Commander of the 'Watergate case', and the Grand Commander was later forced to voluntarily resign from the opposition. He opposed the transfer of the Panama Canal to the Canal Commission, opposed the North Mi Free Trade Agreement, and was also a staunch opponent of the current President, who won the election and did a good job. ”

Sloan judged: "I think Gordon has just tried to persuade you through me not to be afraid of Jesse Helms, who thinks that the old man is not terrible, that ultra-conservative white politicians are now in the minority, rotten, stale, and out of step with the current world trend." Since he always loses, why can't we win again? Jesse Helms is running for re-election this year, and with you as a formidable enemy, the Donkey Party and the black community are likely to snipe him out, and let the Donkey candidate who supports the current president get a crucial seat in the Senate of North Carolina, which is not a good chance, otherwise the black community will have to put up with the racist for six years. ”

"Because I'm strong, he wants to put his boss on the battlefield? Why? Why does it have to be me? I rushed forward, and even if I won this battle, he would not worry about running out of news...... What about me? If you don't die, you have to shed your skin. Song Ya scolded: "What a white-eyed wolf, I should have listened to BET boss Johnson before......"

"He said that as one of the richest African-Americans, this is the choice and mission of history, and it does not depend on your personal will." Sloan said again.

“Shxt！ I don't want to take on any historical mission......"

I am going well, the economy of the United States and the economy of China are both growing strongly, and at this time, I am risking treason to face a senior senator, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee? What is the need? And why? "That guy is more inflated than me, I gave him the status of the first black 24-hour news station director of the top media person, and he thought he was really the opinion leader of the black people in the United States? This station doesn't even look at the blacks themselves! I...... I'm losing my money! ”

"Sloane, what do you think of Gordon's suggestion?" Goodman asked.

"Jesse Helms, though he has always failed in Congress, has transcended the influence of ordinary politicians, and he is a pole of American politics, although this pole is very unpopular with African Americans. This year's Elephant Party presidential candidate, Bob Dore, is an ally of his, and he protected a number of now prominent political leaders in the Watergate and Keating Five cases, including Senator McEve, who worked with us on the textile quota case......"

"Although the current president hates him, he also needs to use his usual toughness as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee to deal with the United Nations, Europe, Da Mao, China and some backyard countries in Central and South America to gain a more favorable negotiating position for himself," Sloan said. ”

"That's it! I'm not going to do that stupid thing! The more Song Ya listened, the more irritated he became, and said loudly: "No one will think that there are too few enemies!" You ......"

'Bang bang bang! At this time, Mariah Carey was slamming the door outside, "APLUS! It's almost noon! Do you want me to bring in sleeping pills? ”

"I don't eat that!" Song Ya responded.

"Then go to bed!" She exclaimed, "We have a TV show to be on in the evening!" ”

"You call Gordon again, I'll only give him one chance, and I'm going to see the effect of tonight's A+CN evening news." Song Ya ignored her and gave orders to Sloane.

"Otherwise?" Sloan asked.

"Otherwise...... I don't know, but he has to realize that he's not qualified to bargain with me! Song Ya replied: "Today is not the time for him to show any media people who are persistent and stubborn." ”

'Bang bang bang! The door is being smashed again.

"OK, I'll continue to communicate, you go to sleep, you're really not in a good state now." Sloan opened the door, and Maria Carey had already dropped her mask, her hands on her chest, and she was waiting outside in a domineering manner.

"It's time for me to go to Washington to play golf, wait for my good news, APLUS."

Goodman smiled at the two of them, who were still nominally husband and wife, slapped Song Ya's arm again, and followed Sloane away.

"! Just go! Mariah Carey commanded like a child, "Look at you now, wake up and shave, preferably without dark circles......"

Above...... Forget it, Song Ya yawned, "Got it, got it." He walked into the bathroom of the guest room.

"Is it dangerous? It's serious, and it's rare to see you angry like that. ”

As she was taking a shower, Mariah Carey's voice rang out outside the shower.

"Is there one? Am I feeling okay? I was excited when I didn't quarrel with you. Song Ya replied.

"I mean you to your subordinates, you see, you know that your attitude towards me is never good......" she complained.

"I'm sorry, my temper really needs to change, a lot of people say I'm too paranoid."

Song Ya wrapped her towel around her and opened the glass door of the shower room, and Mariah Carey was gone.

He didn't go to sleep right away, but in the living room with Hamlin, Sutton and his sons, and Donovan, Hayden and others, who finally arrived from Los Angeles, watched the noon news of each station, and Conservative TV not only published the full text of Damberton's speech, but also exposed copies of some witness statements, 'APLUS is very close to prison, and I believe that the federal government will soon launch a formal investigation into Denburton's allegations,'" said the conservative news anchor.

"It's all relatively short, and it's not very powerful, but it's ...... It's less and less like what CUU calls a 'farce'. ”

Old man Pathy Sutton commented.

"That's it for now, I'm going to sleep for a while." Song Ya didn't respond to him, squeezed out a smile at Mariah Carey, who was standing against the wall, and silently walked into the guest room.

In the evening, he took Sloan and others to the talk show studio to wait for the live show to be recorded, and of course, Mariah Carey and Brenda were recorded.

"You're in a bad place, APLUS." Mariah Carey's agent, Sandy Glenn, said: "Our friends in Hollywood have done everything they can to help. ”

"I know I'll thank them when I get back, and you can give me a call to Mr. Geffen too."

Hollywood tycoons basically hate Damberton and Jesse Helms, especially same-sex fraternity bigwigs Sandy Glenn and David Geffen, but this love is for Song Ya.

"Well, don't worry, we're on one side." Sandy Glenn nodded.

On time, Sloan pressed the TV remote control and switched to the free Comcast channel where A+CN Evening News was located, but he still didn't convince Gordon.

"Charlotte's family of the innocently dead black man has yet to receive a fair response from local law enforcement, and we reiterate our call for ......."

Gordon is still reporting the news in his trademark voice.

“Fxxk！” Song Ya was angry about this in front of Mariah Carey and Sandy Glenn, so she covered her face with her hands to calm down her emotions, "If you find a landline, use the TV station." He commanded Hamlin in a low voice.

"Gordon, you're playing with fire, do you know what you're doing!?" Song Ya couldn't bear it anymore, and went directly to the phone to scold after watching the evening news.

"You should fight those people firmly, otherwise why should people think of you as their own?" Gordon was also very emotional, and he asked rhetorically: "So what are you buying the media to do as a news station?" Back down at the slightest threat from politicians? So why did you get into the industry? I'll quit too! ”

"I need influence, not trouble!"

Song Ya was full of lawsuits by this guy, "If I spend so much money for the black community and end up with this result, then why should I ask for trouble?" Maybe I shouldn't have given you this opportunity Gordon, don't forget it's me......"

"I'm grateful, but I can't back down on a Ku Klux Klan, sorry APLUS, you can fire me, or I can find a chance to resign." Gordon was resolute.

"I'm not talking about it." According to Sloan's instructions, Song Ya resolutely would not admit that his remarks were related to specific events on the phone, otherwise it would be even worse if he was secretly recorded by Gordon to leave evidence.

"Let me do it, boss, your enemies are old fellows who are dying." Gordon persuaded.

"So you're not going to take my opinion?" Song Ya took a deep breath and asked.

"I act according to my conscience."

"Fxxk! You incompetent guy, if you really have a conscience, you shouldn't make A+CN like this, I spent tens of millions on this TV station, but I didn't make any money and was hurt by you?"

"TV is a very long-term career, and you can't do well with this mentality."

"I don't want you to teach me a lesson! You eat my flowers, my ......"

was roaring, 'click', and the landline spring was directly pressed by Sloan, "He's already made his choice APLUS, what's the use of saying this now?" Why don't you think about what to do next? ”

"Your suggestion?"

"At this time, firing Gordon and replacing him, as long as he makes a fuss, there is no evidence, it will cause an uproar, and it will also directly affect your African American basic perception." Sloan said.

"Of course I know, I'm not going to fire him."

Song Ya dialed another phone, "He eats me, wears me, and dares to play personality with me, then I will fight for the loss of interests and give him a profound lesson!" ”

"What lesson? Don't use violence at this time......"

"No, I came up with an idea in bed in the afternoon." Song Ya didn't give a direct answer: "I'm APLUS, please help Mr. Roberts Jr." ”

"Little Roberts of Comcast?" Sloan asked, "You didn't consult us, don't rush APLUS." ”

"I'm not impulsive."

The call was transferred to the boss of Comcast, "Hey, Mr. Roberts, I haven't talked in a long time, what's the matter, I have a new idea...... In this way, I know that the ratings of A+CN have caused you and me a lot of trouble, and there is still a period of time before the promotion resources of your free station expire, right? Ha ha...... You know what? I don't think these help means much to A+CN, so how about simply migrating all A+CN columns to the paid 88 channel in advance? ”

Sloane's eyes lit up at the hearing.

"I know, I know it's not open yet, but that's a good thing for you, isn't it? You can give the resources to the next channel to promote, me? I resigned myself to my fate...... Yes, it doesn't feel like it's working, A+CN is like that, maybe it's better to go to channel 88 early, at least you can charge a little earlier. ”

"No...... The promotion plan of 10 million does not need to be advanced, it's okay, I can afford to lose the audience during this time, it's nothing more than losing a little more money...... Think of it as an act of atonement for A+CN for not meeting our expectations for cooperation. Haha, whatever you want? Do you agree? So that's it for now? Well, okay, I'll have the lawyer go to you tomorrow, and we'll settle it? That's great! ”

"That's it!" Song Ya hung up the phone.

"A+CN is no longer present on Comcast's premium channels, so ......"

Of course, Sloan's shrewdness can react, "It means that A+CN will not have a few audiences at all in the time difference before the 10 million promotion plan, and no matter how Gordon performs, it is equivalent to achieving our goal." ”

"Yes, I'm the boss, I'm too lazy to spend too much time and energy arguing with my executives, Gordon wants to play stubborn with me, then okay, I'll just put his stubbornness in the cage at a higher level of channel resources!"

Song Ya sneered: "He's right, the TV station is a long-term career, then I'll lose money and operate slowly!" ”
