Chapter 1044: I didn't want to catch her
New York, USA.
Chu Lingyun was sitting in the office, and Chloe was reporting, reporting on the financial situation.
She was very worried.
Chloe is now mainly responsible for the TV station, and she knows very well that without the protection of her uncle, her role in the boss is not so great, but the boss has not come to the United States for a long time, and her expenses are large, and she can't help but put her hand into the company after a long time.
Don't look at her responsibility, she can't get too much money.
In terms of finance, Liu Chengzhu arranged the people before, otherwise how much money the company had would not be enough for her to lose.
"What's going on with this 30,000?"
Out of Lingyun raised his head and asked Chloe, Chloe was slightly stunned, the $30,000 fee was embezzled by her to buy cosmetics and beautiful clothes.
Naturally, she couldn't explain it.
"And this twenty-five thousand, this twenty thousand, this ten thousand."
Chu Lingyun said from high down, the amount is not big, but there are many times, Chloe can have so much authority, no matter how much money is directly commanded by Chu Lingyun, Liu Chengzhu will do the loan.
However, adding up to dozens of transactions, it is worth millions of dollars.
Chu Ya had found out these before, she wanted to move Chloe, but Chu Lingyun did not agree, so she gave up for the time being.
"Boss, I forgot about the money."
"Forgot, you took all the money, you told me to forget, do you think I'm a fool? Do you know what it means, how many years do you think you're going to go to jail if I go to sue you? ”
Millions, definitely not a decimal number, really let the court decide, can make Chloe sit until he is old.
Chloe's face turned pale with fright: "Boss, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, don't call the police to arrest me." ”
Chloe's body trembled a little because of fear.
Such a large sum of money was all withdrawn by him from the company, with her signature and procedures, but he couldn't account for it, plus her usual consumption, Chu Lingyun wanted to send her to prison, it was not too easy.
"Know it's wrong? You are too bold to take so much money from the company. ”
Chu Lingyun said coldly, the salary he gave Chloe was not low.
At first, it was 3,000 yuan a year, then it was 5,000 yuan, then it rose to 10,000 yuan, and now it is 60,000 yuan a year.
She also has an additional bonus, almost 100,000 a year.
So much money, enough for her comfortable life, is not enough, and taking so much from the company is equivalent to her losing more than a million dollars over the years.
Chloe didn't buy a house, and even if she did, it would be enough for her to buy a big villa, and now the purchasing power of the dollar is much stronger than in later generations.
At present, the per capita income of the United States is more than 2,000 points per year, and the average monthly income is less than 200.
She is several times more in a month than in a year.
"Boss, I really know it's wrong."
Chloe is not a particularly smart person, otherwise he would be so blatant in taking the company's money.
"It's useless to know that it's wrong, I don't blame you for returning the money, I'll give you a month, if you can't pay the money, you just wait for the police to come to the door."
Chu Lingyun shook his head, Chloe was stunned, so much money, let alone a month, it wouldn't be enough to give her a year.
No, if she doesn't have this job, she won't be able to do it for the rest of her life.
"You go out first."
Chu Lingyun ignored Chloe, who was standing stupidly, and asked Loach to forcibly send her out, Loach knew that Chloe, when she was in the Shanghai Concession, because of her uncle, Chloe was a famous lady in the concession.
Lonely to this point now?
"Boss, you're not going to arrest her, are you?"
Send people out, Loach came back and asked with a smile, he knew Chu Lingyun best, if he really wanted to send Chloe in, he would not wait until now.
It is even more unlikely that she will be given a month to raise money.
"Keeping her locked up won't do me any good."
Chu Lingyun shook her head slightly, Chloe was not only in charge of the TV station, but also helped her contact a mercenary organization.
didn't move her before, first, she had other roles, and second, Chu Lingyun didn't have that time.
It's nothing to let her get some money, and when the time comes, Chu Lingyun will let her return it with interest.
Now that I have the time, it's time to get this done.
"Leave her alone, wait until she's at a dead end, go to the TV station first."
The TV stations owned by Chu Lingyun are very scattered, and due to the current technology, the local TV stations in each place cannot receive them elsewhere.
Nowadays there is no cable television, let alone satellite, and television is similar to radio, which is transmitted by signal towers, and there are distance restrictions.
And the TV set also needs to be equipped with a receiver, without which the signal of the TV station cannot be received.
The television industry in the United States developed relatively early, and China's television industry began to develop brilliantly in the seventies and eighties.
For example, it is made from cans.
The same is true in the United States at this time, not only do you have to have an outdoor receiver, but the programs you can receive are very limited, and television in the United States is a private industry, and if you want to open a TV station, you need to set up a signal tower, and whoever wants to use the signal tower here needs to pay a fee.
Signal towers are not unlimited, so there are very few programs that people can see in their homes.
Chu Lingyun's TV station has its own signal towers, and the investment in these signal towers is not low, and he has not yet built a signal tower in every city.
Loach accompanied Chu Lingyun to the TV station.
Chu Lingyun's TV station headquarters is here, New York is the most prosperous city in the United States, and there are the most TV stations here, not to mention the number of TV stations at this time, but the programs that can be received here are the most, and San Francisco does not even have one-third of it.
"Boss."
The director had been notified and was waiting at the door.
Chloe is a vase, Chu Lingyun's TV station is actually free-range, and each TV station has a director, who is responsible for the specific work of ordinary times.
Chloe works for the head office, and in fact has limited management.
Including program production, advertising reception, etc., all the TV stations come by themselves, and the headquarters is like a housekeeper, helping them coordinate, apply for funds, buy copyrights, and so on.
The main thing is film rights, buy the rights, you can broadcast it on TV.
This is currently the most popular show among viewers.
But a TV station can't just show movies, news and other programs to do, and TV stations also prepare their own TV series, which is also a kind of program.
"Let's go inside."
Chu Lingyun led everyone into the TV station, and the New York TV station was the one with the largest investment and the most users, ranking third among all the TV stations in New York.
Chu Lingyun TV station is more, and the corresponding holding cost will be lower.
For example, the purchased film rights can be used by all TV stations, and the construction of signal towers is more experienced, which can save money.
As for technology, it's really not the most critical factor at this time.
Everyone is the same, the clarity is not enough, the TV is not big, the main thing is the reception of the signal, at the beginning, there were often people who could not receive the signal of the TV station, Chu Lingyun simply bought two TV factories and made his own supporting TV.
Today, the investment in television stations and newspapers has exceeded $100 million.
There are only a dozen TV stations with so much money, and if you want to do a good job as a TV station, you need more investment in the future.
For Chu Lingyun, the biggest good news is that the TV station has begun to make a profit, there is a TV station, and by the way, he has done channels such as broadcasting, and the good momentum can make him develop faster in the future.
"Show me the latest program."
Chu Lingyun commanded, and the director immediately brought the program list, the current TV is not 24 hours a day, and it is basically gone at night.
During the day, most of the programs are news, recurring movies, and some simple programs.
"Which shows are the most watched right now?"
Chu Lingyun asked, the TV station in New York only achieved the third, obviously did not satisfy him, you must know that more than 10 million US dollars have been invested here, and the investment of the first and second TV stations is not as big as his.
The main reason for such a large investment is that they bought their own office house, and in New York, where every inch of land is expensive, they will not suffer a loss when they buy a house.
"First of all, the movie, but the last batch of rights we bought was shown too many times and has dropped significantly, followed by the news, and finally the TV series we made ourselves."
The director honestly replied that the current TV station programs are actually almost the same, in fact, their programs are richer, and they have more movie copyrights, which are better.
But the boss is not there all the year round, and the relationship between the director is not as hard as Chu Lingyun, and he can't compare to those two in terms of advertising and publicity, but although they are third, they are not much different from the top two.
There are a few months in the year when they either go up to the first or second place, but at the end of the year, they will be a little worse.
"Show me your news and TV series."
Chu Lingyun asked them to play the latest program, the news was a bit chaotic, normal and ordinary broadcasting, but there was no orderly order, it was completely about what to broadcast and what to broadcast, and it was very long, and there were all kinds of news.
From international current events to street anecdotes.
Even stocks, cars, and other things are included, it's a hodgepodge.
Not only them, but other TV stations are like this, at this time, because of the lack of programs, everyone wants to broadcast the news as long as possible, and the pursuit is more and all.
Everywhere, the rise of something new always requires human experience.
Chu Lingyun happened to have these experiences.
After patiently watching the news, Chu Lingyun continued to watch the TV series they filmed.
When I watched it, the director had a premonition, and the boss's brows were condensed all the time, obviously not very satisfied with their program.
Chu Lingyun hadn't watched much TV before.
Mainly because later generations watched it in high definition, and now he really can't stand this kind of blurry picture.
And the show is single, not much fun.
But he didn't expect the TV station to make the series look like this.
This thing is called a serial?
Well, at this time, its name is called a TV series, but it is just a sloppy filming.
The technology is limited, there are no good special effects, and the investment in TV is correspondingly small, and there are not many episodes of each TV series at all.
And very casually.
Some have five episodes, some have eight episodes, and some have more than ten episodes.
The five-episode TV series they filmed, with a total duration of just over 60 minutes, tells the inspirational story of a stock trader, but it is full of errors, and it is obvious that they did not have a particularly detailed understanding before filming.
is completely based on his own cognition, and the ratings will naturally not be good.
Fortunately, this is not the age of the Internet, otherwise they would have been sprayed to death.
"Don't let it go."
After watching it for a while, even if it was fast-forwarding, Chu Lingyun couldn't stand it, but the loach was watching it with relish on the side, these days in the United States, he can already understand some basic terms, but the whole TV series still looks like it's listening to heaven.
I don't understand, it doesn't affect his view, at least the woman inside looks beautiful.
This is also a common problem of TV stations now, obviously the picture quality is so poor, but he likes to find beautiful actresses to support the scene, as for the acting skills, don't mention it.
Anyway, in Chu Lingyun's eyes, the small jokes of later generations are better than them, and they are more ornamental than them.
"Call all the people from the production department and the information department, and I'm going to hold a meeting with them."
Chu Lingyun commanded with a gloomy face, no wonder there has been no improvement in investing so much, and he is the third in a thousand years.
In their current situation, how bad are the top two, and they have not opened up a gap with their own TV stations?
I can't bear to look at it.
The director of the station called all the people from the production department and the news department, and Chu Lingyun was closing his eyes and pondering, thinking about the improvement of the TV station.
Improvement cannot be carried out blindly, and what can be accepted by future generations may not be acceptable now, such as talk shows and so on.
But there are some things that can be used right now.
The program is rich and diverse, first add some talk shows, each episode does not take too long, 30 minutes.
Other TV stations will definitely learn from the programs they appear in, but Chu Lingyun can always let them eat dust behind their backs.
The news also needs to be changed, and there should be comprehensive news, but the duration should be controlled, no more than half an hour at a time.
The rest of the news can be done for finance, life, and even cooking.
Take your time, little by little.
TV shopping, TV songs, variety shows, etc., don't put too much out at a time.
But the TV series has to change.
It's really bad now.
First of all, actors, they must have acting skills, this kind of vase can no longer be wanted, if they can't act, they will be sent to Hollywood for training, or directly invite professional actors to act.
Smith didn't always want to be an actor, and when the time came, he could come and make a cameo appearance as a governor or a congressman.
Acting in his true colors is certainly no problem for Smith.
There is also the most important plot, not to mention that there must be suspense at the end of each episode, at least one of the three episodes.
How can you better attract the audience to wait by the TV? Engage their discussions?
If there is no discussion, where does the heat come from?
Don't shoot those bells and whistles in TV series, there is no point, make life films now, low-cost, and there is more content to be filmed.
For example, the growth of a family and so on.
Just add a little funny factor to it, just make ordinary family life full of happiness, such a TV series can not only be filmed, but also filmed all the time for a long time.
It even grows with a generation.
The choice of such actors should be cautious, it is best to train them yourself, tie them up with brokerage companies and contracts, and be poached in the future.
salary, wait for the fire to give them a rise.
As long as a drama is popular, will you still worry about no ratings?
In the current TV market, the failure of their TV station to beat the others is the biggest failure.
Everyone entered the conference room, and the director stood beside Chu Lingyun, seeing that he closed his eyes and recuperated, he didn't dare to speak.
Everyone knows that their boss is very powerful, don't look at it as Chinese, but it is an emerging capital, and has a good relationship with many big people.
They are part-time workers, not proud scientific experts, and no one dares to their tails.
"Department of Information, let's talk about you first."
Chu Lingyun opened his eyes, he didn't discuss, let alone ask, he ordered directly.
"All the news will be changed immediately, half an hour of comprehensive news will be broadcast at seven o'clock in the afternoon every day, as long as the news of the day, not at other times, and the rebroadcast will be done at twelve o'clock at noon the next day, the comprehensive news should be simple and clear, if there is not so much news, you can have more space on some news."
"In addition, financial news is broadcast at 7 o'clock in the morning every day, the time is also half an hour, and the sports news is broadcast at 9 o'clock in the evening."
"Boss, what do you mean, to separate the news?"
The Minister of Information was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, Chu Lingyun nodded: "That's right, all the hosts must be trained, give them serious clothes, don't be so casual, the current news is just these few time periods, and the replay time of financial and sports news is reversed." ”
Half an hour for each news, three news for an hour and a half, plus replays, that's three hours.
If there's an urgent current event, just plug it in, or broadcast it live.
Take your time with other news, Chu Lingyun will take the lead for them, if they can't do other professional news, these people will all be replaced at that time.
"Yes, boss."
They didn't expect the boss to make such a big change, and several people were worried.
"You go back to your own meeting first, bring me the changed news plan, and I'll want it tomorrow."
Chu Lingyun instructed them, all the people in the news department got up and left, the boss was not good at coming this time, he didn't even ask, and directly made such a big change?
If the change is not successful, they will lose more in the market, and I am afraid that they will not be able to keep the third position.
"Production Department, your problem is the most serious and biggest, if any of you have any suggestions, you can say to me now, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, I will stay what I can do, and leave early if I can't do it."
Chu Lingyun was not polite to them, the Ministry of Information at least followed the steps and changed.
What are the things made by the production department?
If they can't do it, Chu Lingyun will be replaced immediately, and the United States will not lack talents now.
The people in the production department, you look at me, I look at you, everyone has a strong sense of crisis in their hearts.
The head of the production department spoke first: "Boss, I think we should directly make a longer TV series, but I am worried that the audience will not have the patience to do this, and other TV stations have tried ......"
"Don't worry, just do it."
Chu Lingyun interrupted him, this is quite pertinent, if the minister can't say anything better, he will be the first to get out.
"Yes, boss, in terms of content, we're going to do some war or foreign ......"
This time, Chu Lingyun let him finish speaking, the reason why he chose war is because a few years after the end of the war, and he still has a deep impression of the war.
"The war drama will be talked about later, the cost is too high, what about the others?"
Chu Lingyun looked at all the people and asked each of them to speak, and everyone had no way to say their thoughts one by one.
Although their ideas are not very good, at least from the perspective of technology in this era and period.
There were two bulls who said that they were not in the right mouth, Chu Lingyun was not polite, and directly ordered the director to settle their wages and leave, and they were fired.
The dismissal needs compensation, and Chu Lingyun doesn't care about this money.
No waste is left here.
There are a total of eight people in the production department, and two of them were directly driven away, which is equivalent to saying that a quarter of them were driven away.
Although the rest of the people stayed for the time being, they all had a great sense of crisis in their hearts.
"Next, I'll tell you about two projects, you go first."
"One is a long-form TV series, each episode is fifteen minutes, two episodes are broadcast every day, the first season is filmed, two actors are found to bring three children to film, just film their daily life, you first solicit scripts before filming, the story of each episode should be brief, it is ordinary life, but you must add funny and happy factors, you must be cautious when choosing actors, I will re-register the economic company, and all actors must sign a contract with our economic company."
Chu Lingyun said slowly, the others looked at each other and filmed the life at home, is this okay?
Will the audience not buy it?
"Boss, how many episodes are you talking about?"
The head of production asked cautiously, he guessed that eight or ten episodes, if more, twenty episodes would be enough, and there was no more to shoot.
"Shoot 60 episodes first, enough for a month's broadcasts, see how the market goes, and if it's good, broadcast a few more seasons in the future."
Chu Lingyun shook his head, the more episodes the better, his plan is to shoot ten seasons, if this is not suitable for long-term filming, he even wants to shoot a TV series with tens of thousands of episodes.
"Sixty episodes?"
The production minister was stunned? A TV series that has not yet been verified, will it shoot so many episodes first?
"Boss, is there too much filming, why don't we shoot thirty episodes first?"
The director carefully persuaded, Chu Lingyun shook his head: "No need to try, go directly, this project will be approved immediately, and you will start to solicit scripts later, make my requirements clear, get a suitable script sample in three days at the latest, and look for actors at the same time in these days, it is best to find experienced ones, and give them quick training if they have no experience, in short, this project will start filming for me in a week." ”
It's going to be filmed in a week, so urgent?
"This is the first project, and there is also a half-hour interview that you can do at the same time, which is to interview some celebrities, including but not limited to politicians, all kinds of celebrities, financial experts, writers, veterans, etc."
"Let's start with veterans, preferably veterans who have participated in many battles, especially those who have fought against the Japanese and are wounded and disabled."
"The interview was mainly about how he felt during the war, his views on the war, and what happened during the war that impressed him."
Chu Lingyun said the second project he gave, and put the others behind, this improvement has already allowed their TV station to completely beat other peers, if this can't be done, Chu Lingyun can simply sell the TV station.
Provincial angry people.
As for the long-form TV series, let them accumulate some experience first, and then choose a suitable one to shoot, so many successful TV series, Chu Lingyun can learn from a few.
"Yes, boss."
The production minister is helpless, the TV station is someone else's, and they can only obey orders.
The director is even more depressed, such a change, should let other small TV stations test the water first, after all, they are the biggest here, and the boss is too, directly from them.
However, what they shoot, the boss's other TV stations will definitely broadcast it, even if it is his own company, he has to pay for broadcasting their things, just a little less.
"Let's do this for now, adjourn."
Chu Lingyun got up, the affairs of the TV station should be improved slowly, there is no long-form TV series now, but there are radio dramas.
But they're broadcasts, not real TV dramas, and the real TV series has not yet begun.
With this kind of long length, a TV series with tens of thousands of episodes, Chu Lingyun will definitely do it.
For such a long time, affecting several generations, the cost is low and the ratings are high, it is stupid not to do it.
Really wait for the time when the ratings are confiscated before stopping.
Tokyo, Yoko came to the metropolitan government carefully, and she was a little cramped.
Originally, she wanted to go to Takemoto, who was even more powerful in the Special Search Department, but when she got to the place, it was heavily guarded, and there were many Americans, so she didn't dare to enter.
Later, it was changed to the metropolitan government.
A lot of time was wasted running this lap.
"I want to find Minister Jun Mizushiro, is he here?"
Gathering her courage, Yoko came to the door and said to the doorman that she had been a lady before, and it would be a failure to even take this step.
"You are?"
The doorman frowned, Yoko was not dressed well, and the grade was not young, what did he do with Minister Mizujo?
"My man is an old friend of Minister Shuicheng, and I have something to look for him."
Yoko said quickly, hearing her say that her man and Minister Shuicheng were friends, the doorman looked at them suspiciously, but the doorman understood that Minister Shuicheng used to be a soldier, and now there are indeed many former soldiers who are down.
"What's your man's name, I'll help you ask."
"Thank you, his name is Kubo."
Yoko hurriedly replied, at this time, Mizushiro Jun was in the office to deal with official business, he was a minister, he usually had a lot of work, and now he was going to build the headquarters of the Genjin Shrine, and there was not enough time every day.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone on the table rang, and Mizushiro picked it up.
"Kubo's wife?"
Hearing that someone was looking for him, and it was Kubo's wife, Mizushiro Jun was very surprised, he had met Kubo once some time ago, but the two didn't say anything at all, Ishihara-kun also gave Jiu a chance to keep, and he gave up himself.
What is this coming to you for?
"Let her in."
After thinking about it, Mizushiro Jun didn't refuse, after all, Ishihara Heng gave Kubo a chance, who knows if Ishihara Heng wants to use this person?
"Come with me, Minister Mizujo is waiting for you in the office."
The doorman's attitude is obviously better, it seems that this inconspicuous woman really has a certain relationship with Minister Shuicheng, otherwise how would she see her so soon.
"Thank you, thank you."
Yoko bowed and thanked him, followed the doorman, and soon arrived at the door of Mizushiro Jun's office.
At this moment, Yoko's heart was beating fast and she was even more nervous.
"Hello Minister Mizushiro, I'm Kubo's wife, Yoko Kubo."
Yoko said quickly, and Kubo asked her to sit down and walked out on her own.
"What are you looking for me?"
Mizushiro Jun gets straight to the point, he still has a lot to do, and he doesn't have time to chat.
"I want to ask if you can let Kubo go to the job you told him last time, we don't need five times the salary, just the same as the original salary."
Yoko said nervously, and Mizushiro Jun was a little surprised, this is what happened when he came to him?
"What do you mean, or what do you mean?"
Mizushiro Jun didn't answer, he couldn't make the decision in this matter, and he didn't need Kubo to see Ishihara Heng, not him.
"Kubo regrets it, he gave up the opportunity to someone else last time, and it turned out to be ......"
Yoko told the reason, Kubo was kind to others, but in the end, he couldn't borrow a penny, which really made him feel cold.
"Okay, I see, you can go back first."
Mizushiro Jun understood the reason, it was a small matter for him, even if it was a matter of one sentence to really arrange a job for Kubo.
But whenever it comes to Ishihara Hiroshi, he won't make decisions on his own.
"Are you still blaming him? It doesn't matter if we get a little salary, as long as he has a job. ”
Yoko's heart was cold, and she asked cautiously, even if the salary is reduced by half, or even more, it is enough to let Kubo go to work first.
What she was afraid of was that Kubo would be depressed after being hit.
Then their family would be really finished.
"It's not for this reason, I don't care about him, you go back first."
Mizushiro Jun shook his head, he didn't need to explain so clearly to Kubo's wife.
"Yes, I'll go first."
Yoko didn't dare to ask again, so she got up and left honestly, and after thinking about it, Mizushiro Jun immediately left in the car.
He is a minister and has his own car and driver.
When he came to the tea house, Mizushiro Jun personally sent a report to Ishihara Heng to report on the matter, the government has a radio station, and the restrictions on them have been loosened by the Americans in recent years, and important government departments can be equipped with radio stations, but they must be reported, and the content sent needs to be known to the Americans.
If you send something they don't know, you're in big trouble.
The radio station there cannot be used casually, and it is far less convenient than the radio station of the tea house.
Chu Lingyun has just returned to San Francisco.
Let the people in New York do it themselves in advance, and when they make achievements and have some experience, all the TV stations will make changes in unison.
The pharmaceutical company sent him good news.
Two more popular drugs have been successfully developed and have entered the clinical trial stage, and will soon be marketed, and these two drugs can bring at least US$300 million in revenue within five years after they are launched.
The newly marketed drugs are the most expensive.
The R&D cost is less than 100 million, and making 300 million in five years is already a big profit, and after five years, they will reduce the price and continue to sell.
Wait until the patent is sold later, and in the long run, each of the two drugs can bring a benefit of 500 million US dollars, but it will take a little longer.
It's okay to be long, it's good to be successful.
With more R&D funds and more drugs in the future, pharmaceutical companies can maintain stable development.
In Chu Lingyun's industry, pharmaceutical companies are the pillars, and new drugs can still give him hundreds of millions of dollars in income every year, and the price of new drugs has dropped a lot, but the market is big enough, because there is almost no drug resistance, and now many people will inject new drugs when they are sick.
As long as their production keeps up, there is no shortage of sales.
