Chapter 173: The Media Landscape Continues to Expand

Anne Hathaway's journey over the past month.

Abel didn't know.

But she has been in a daze for nearly a month, and sometimes she seems very confused.

Abel knows.

The bodyguards who stayed with Anne.

Especially looks like an aunt, a female bodyguard from Moscow, Jinna.

Don't look at her current size, one can beat four or five men.

But when people are young, they are professionals who have been trained in the swallows.

Anne's little change in mind couldn't escape Jinna's surveillance.

After that, Anne went alone and went to the Actors Guild to find an opportunity.

In fact, it is also in Abel's grasp.

He even authorized Ginna to mislead Anne into doing that.

Even the audition director dared to make such a non-scoring request at that time.

It was also under the misdirection of Jinna's methods that he would do it.

People are not stupid, Anne Hathaway is also a "Smith girl" no matter how she says it.

If it weren't for Jinna's operation, how would she dare to mention that kind of thing without knowing it.

Afterwards, Kina contacted a Moscow gang in California and threw them out into the black community.

Abel is aware of the whole process and is authorized by default.

and Anne's follow-up thinking about some small things, Jinna is quietly guiding.

Swallow is born professional, and everything is done very well.

When Abel came over, Anne had done her own psychological work.

forgot her distress and confusion for more than a month.

This made Abel have to give Kina an excellent rating for her work.

In fact, including Charlize, Liv and others.

Those female bodyguards who look very good at fighting and have an ordinary appearance.

In fact, they have all undergone similar training.

The content of the training is to allow them to monitor and regulate the psychology of the protected object at the same time.

This is mainly because half of Abel's soul comes from Huaxia.

And the color of the hat that Chinese men hate the most.

It's the color of the hat that the Annam monkeys like to wear the most.

Inside the Rock Security.

There is such a special small department that is responsible for this part of the work.

At present, this small department is doing well.

Anne Hathaway only had a glimmer of hope, and the trend was quickly interrupted.

For this reason, Abel has privately praised this department of Rock Security.

Kina was even happy to pick up a $100,000 prize check.

Let them keep up the good work, work hard, and maintain the harmony within the Crystal Palace of the good boss.

Although it is said that his fetish, some people in the rock security who are in the know think it is a little strange.

It's normal for them to feel that way.

After all, in this kind of atmosphere in Europe and the United States, Abel's painting style is really weird.

Fortunately, these people thought it was strange, but they didn't say much.

The boss is a super rich man, and it's normal to have a little quirk.

Super-rich, who can not have a quirk?

The key is that the boss gives enough salary, and the benefits are good enough, and it can even be extended to the family.

Who would refuse dental medical insurance and the like that ordinary jobs can't afford?

So female bodyguards like Jin Na work very hard.

Invisibly, a large net shone on the women that Abel had taken a dawt.

When Anne got rid of her very tiring yoga time and regained her consciousness again.

It was already that evening.

Lying on the soft Simmons, Anne regained consciousness when she opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Abel walking towards her while undressing.

The New Jersey girl was so frightened that her voice changed.

"Huh? Come back! Honey, I don't want to do yoga anymore. Woo, I'm so tired. And my legs are numb and swollen."

"That's not going to work. I just got back from outside. Yoga is such a thing, it's about perseverance, it's about perseverance."

"Good, obedient."

When Anne is really completely awake and there is no Abel by her side to force her to do yoga.

It was already noon the next day.

"Hmm~"

With a bang, Anne Hathaway, huddled in the soft quilt, woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she habitually touched her side.

Sure enough, as before, I never touched him.

The combat effectiveness is uneven, and there is no way to even get up at the same time.

She looked out of the quilt with some trepidation, and in the messy bedroom, she didn't see him.

That's what made Anne breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to continue doing yoga.

Yoga is very comfortable, but it's also tiring.

You can even get hurt!

With that in mind, Anne struggled to sit up on the bed.

She only felt as if her whole body had been dismantled, and her hands and legs were sore and numb.

This is a manifestation of overdoing yoga.

She struggled to move a few steps, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and habitually pressed the number one button to dial out.

In most hotels, the landline number button in the guest room has different functions.

But for Anne, it doesn't matter which hotel she stays in.

Dial the number one button on the hotel's telephone.

can contact Jinna as soon as possible, her personal life assistant and female bodyguard.

This is because every time she stays in the hotel.

The room she lives in will be inspected by the rock security guards.

During the inspection, the telephone was replaced and replaced with Rock Security's own telephone.

"Hey~ Jinna, are you there? I'm so hungry, help me bring in a suit of clothes and food."

"Okay."

From there, came the calm voice of Jinna, a former member of the Swallow and now an employee of the Rock Security Women's Special Unit.

Anne put down the phone and waited only a few minutes.

I saw Jinna, who was on the back of a tiger, with another female bodyguard, Anna, coming in with clothes and food.

The two female bodyguards were familiar with the smell of heather flowers everywhere in the room.

Every time the boss came over, Miss Anne's room would be filled with this smell.

Sometimes, even if it is ventilated, it often takes a day or two to disperse.

Kina secretly asked her hometown in private, and it is said that there are witches who have studied this area.

Only the strongest men, said the witches.

to make the room full of that smell.

Jinna thinks that the boss should be such a man.

With the help of two female bodyguards, Anne finished brushing her teeth, washing her face, and eating in bed.

After changing into a more casual home outfit, Anne left the heather-scented bedroom.

Come to the bedroom.

Anne was so tired that she didn't want to move or go out.

Anyway, it was vacation time, so she decided to simply stay in the hotel and wait for Abel to come back.

But being bored alone, she asked Kina to help turn on the TV.

There are three types of television stations in the United States: public stations, cable stations, and pay stations.

&0 years now.

There are five public television stations in the United States, namely CBS, a, Fox, NBC, and PBS.

Among them, CBS and aBC are the first three traditional public television stations.

& In the 86s and early 90s, it slowly established a television network covering more than 90% of the United States.

Parallel time and space

middle

&6 years later.

Time Warner's TV B merged with UPN to form TV C, becoming the sixth largest public television network.

At this time, TV B and UPN are not up to the level of TV networks.

Today, four of the five public television networks are commercial television networks that live on advertising.

PBS, on the other hand, is a public, non-commercial institution that aims to foster the development of public service broadcasting.

It's probably equivalent to CiTV, which is not in a strong position.

As for the difference between cable stations and toll stations, it is even more complicated.

Like the head of Abel's think tank team, Alan Baker's AMC TV station, which negotiated the acquisition, is a typical cable station.

In the case of pay stations, they are special stations that LSPs around the world like to see.

Twenty-four hours a day, at least eighteen hours are spent playing mosaic images.

InterContinental Hotel, a TV in a room in a top five-star hotel.

Except for special pay stations, all other TV stations are naturally full.

In addition, if necessary, those who charge for it can also be seen here.

It is necessary to charge an additional fee, and give the hotel another money.

Anne was alone, and next to her sat two female bodyguards who chatted with her to relieve her boredom.

Of course she couldn't have gone to see those toll booths.

She also accompanied Abel to hunt for curiosity, and she had seen it two or three times, imitating some of the above content

What she's watching now is a channel owned by the FOX television network.

It has 29 television stations with more than 240 channels, covering 90% of households in the United States.

I have to say that Murdoch is indeed very skilled.

As an Australian, he was able to be monopolized by the three old TV networks.

Forced to open up this situation and become one of the media giants in the United States.

Belong to this industry, really capable of the kind.

Anne watches this channel under the FOX banner.

is a television channel that specializes in entertainment news, with a focus on Hollywood gossip and Beverly Hills anecdotes.

Sometimes, of course, Hollywood or the American entertainment industry.

When there's big news, it reports it too.

On weekdays, Anne's favorite thing to watch is also this station.

Her original Hollywood dreams and stardom dreams.

It was after watching the glamorous lives of those girl stars in this TV station that I had a longing.

During this time period, what this channel is broadcasting is all about some Hollywood girl stars and teenage stars.

Very gossip and bubbles, but still a young Anne.

Even if she is already in this circle, she still likes to watch these non-nutritious things.

【. Britney Spearie is suspected of having a discordant relationship with Justin, and she was filmed by a media reporter, and she got out of Justin's car in a rage]

channel.

The female gossip news host is broadcasting in a relaxed and ridiculous tone.

Suddenly, a male host appeared in the picture, took the microphone of the female host, and began to say:

[Play an interstitial message.] 】

[This station received the latest notice, Wall Street supertycoon, the creator of Smith Storm, the boss of MGM movies, the giant crocodile who came to Hollywood from Wall Street, and David Jones, the spokesman for Abel Smith, announced two pieces of news not long ago. 】

The male presenter's voice is fast and dense, but it allows the audience to hear it clearly.

The basic skills of the broadcasting profession are very strong.

[The first message is:]

[A Smith Entertainment, under the name of Mr. Abel Smith, announced that Mr. Smith has wholly acquired AMC TV. 】

[Allegedly, the transaction involved 15.]

The amount of about 100 million dollars. 】

[Subsequently, the original controlling shareholder of AMC TV, Rainbow Entertainment confirmed the news. 】

[Rainbow Entertainment claims that they have received a $150 million deposit from Mr. Smith, and the transfer agreement has officially taken effect.] 】

[Another piece of news about Mr. Abel Smith.] 】

[Today, Mr. Mike Richardson, the founder of Dark Horse Comics, the largest independent comic company in the United States, claimed that Dark Horse Comics has been wholly acquired by MGM. 】

[The acquisition is valued at $210 million.] 】

[This figure is a little more expensive than Mr. Smith's acquisition of Marvel.] 】

【. Next, we will invite Mr. xxx and Mr. OOO to analyze these two things.

【Interested viewers, yes】

【. 】

Seeing this, Anne looked at Gina with some joy.

"Honey bought a TV station?"

"Oh, AMC, I've seen their show! And the dear bought the dark horse too! Now that's all that's left for DC!"

Gina wanted to roll her eyes.

She felt that her protected object had a good temper and a good appearance and figure.

But sometimes it's really naΓ―ve, like before, like when I was talking to Abel on the phone.

Kina didn't answer Anne's question at all.

This is her character in front of Anne, a powerful female bodyguard who is silent and stable.

In contrast, another female bodyguard who does not belong to the special department for women.

It's more talkative.

Anne also knew about Jinna's "temper" and quickly chatted with the female bodyguard.

"A's program is average. The TV series seems to be so-so."

"The comics and manga adaptations of Dark Horse Comics are very successful!"

"But I think they're going to be different when they're bought by my dear!"

"Anna, you help me think about it. Dark Horse Comics: What are the female characters in the comics that haven't been adapted to the movie yet?"

"And, Anna."

γ€Œ.」

Anne and Anna, the female bodyguard, were happily discussing MGM and A Smith's entertainment lavish.

Abel himself, however, has left Los Angeles.

He ran to the city of Palo Alto, which is under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Palo Alto is located west of Stanford University and is the center of Silicon Valley and home to many high-tech companies.

It was Leland Stanford, the founder of Stanford University, who helped create the economic development of the city of Palo Alto.

Palo Alto is also one of the most expensive cities in the United States.

This place Abel has already been here once.

The last time Aberto came here, it was mainly to take a stake in IDEO.

Many people in the Celestial Empire don't know about the existence of this company.

Let's put it this way, the first few versions of Tesla cars after the front page, a lot of things were designed by this company!

After the American Lao Ma took over Tesla, IDEO took on a large part of Tesla's design work.

After all, the American old horse is not the real Iron Man, so it's just someone else's personality.

You let him do programming, programming or something.

Maybe he still hasn't aged the knife, and he can still get it.

But you want him to design the core patented technology of new energy, or the core patented technology of aerospace.

Then you're embarrassing someone's old horse.

&O On the surface, the company is involved in different fields.

However, after all, they are in the center of Silicon Valley, next to either high-tech companies or Internet companies.

It acts as a design company, a creative company.

Compared with other peers, it will naturally be more biased.

& O The company is more inclined to design in the field of Internet and electronic technology.

The last time Abel arrived, the three founders of IDEO disagreed with his valuation.

But at this moment, the Internet winter has not passed.

Ninety percent of Silicon Valley's Internet startups are dead.

&O The three founders of the company don't want the company to die like those companies.

They eventually agreed to Abel's valuation, making Abel one of the majority shareholders of the company.

After that, IDEO also got a design proposal from Abel.

Abel came here this time to see for himself how IDEO had accomplished.

As the majority shareholder of the company, he increased his dual identity as a customer.

There is also a super-rich man, the new first-generation Internet and media traffic king.

Abel's arrival naturally caused a stir at IDEO.

The three founders of the company, Mike Nato, Bill Mogrid, and David Kelly, were naturally present to accompany them.

It is even said that the management of some other high-tech companies and Internet companies that are also in Palo Alto.

After hearing the news, I was on my way to IDEO.

In the internal archives of IDEO.

Able saw some sketches of the plan he had given him to design.

The first is a large drawing of the exterior design, modified with printing and some pencils.

Looking at this sketch, which is supposed to be born out of some products that already exist, with some sci-fi concepts added.

Abel directly picked it up and tore it to shreds in the eyes of the three founders of IDEO.

In the surprised eyes of the three, he was expressionless:

"I gave IDEO millions of dollars in design fees. And the money to give you a new lease on life. That's how you did it to me?"

"Any art graduate can come up with a design like this, right?"

Seriously, Abel was really a little angry.

This is mainly in his memory, the IDEO company in parallel time and space is very dick.

The first generation of Tesla has their contributions, and many domestic home appliance brands and electronic brands in the follow-up Celestial Empire have more and more beautiful and fashionable designs.

There is also the company IDEO involved.

This made Abel subconsciously think that IDEO should be the best creative design company in the industry.

But he didn't take into account that it was still 2000.

&O Company is indeed already great in the industry, but it's still a startup.

At the same time, Abel's aesthetics in this area are more than 20 years ahead.

&O In terms of appearance, the company can't design something that meets Abel's requirements.

Actually, it's normal.

Looking at his expressionless face, the three founders of IDEO fell silent.

To be honest, they really mean a little perfunctory.

But now, they know that if they continue to perfunctory, something will happen.
