America’s Big Hero

A deal of 700 million yuan, in fact, Sean didn't have to pay so much.

First, Capital Media has debts, because Lynch is the major shareholder, and he must bear part of it.

Second, Lynch needs some funds to come in to save the market, but he doesn't need as much as 700 million.

If excessive capital investment fails to produce benefits, it is a loss!

Therefore, after some negotiations, Lynch and Sean reached a crude oil purchase agreement.

Under the circumstance that neither side knows the specific situation of crude oil price in the future, it is impossible for Sean to sell at a low price, and it is impossible for Lynch to buy at a high price.

Therefore, the two parties stipulated that Sean was responsible for the supply, and the settlement of the oil would be made every six months, and the price of the settled oil would be 90% of the average price of the crude oil market every six months.

As the price for purchasing crude oil at a low price and stably, Xiao En's first payment is only 300 million US dollars, and the other 400 million US dollars will be turned into deposits and stored in Sean Bank.

Of course, interest will be paid.

Lynch is very satisfied with this, and raw materials that are stable and below market prices are more important to him.

You may earn blood, but Sean will never lose money!

...

After Lynch was settled, Sean returned to New Century Media without stopping.

In the afternoon, he will hold a meeting with the company's senior management!

Originally, the operation mode of the capital was that each local station operated separately. The advantage is that the local station can stand on the local side with a clearer attitude, which is more convenient to win people's hearts.

Conversely, national TV stations should not be too clear in their attitudes, and try to remain neutral, which is not so pleasing.

Therefore, after Sean joined the TV station, the operation of the TV station will take a 180-degree turn in the future!

"First, we want to set up a national TV network, New Century TV Network. All users must first subscribe to New Century TV Network. This is a brand new TV network."

"Secondly, the original local TV stations are still retained and turned into sub-stations. For example, the one in New York will become Channel 2, and the station in Los Angeles will become Channel 3, so as to provide space for users to choose freely."

"Third, affiliated TV stations. In order to expand the influence of New Century TV, we need more affiliated TV stations. For the vast majority of local TV stations, their program production capabilities are worrying, which makes them lose a lot of users during prime time. , Therefore, we can cooperate with them to access our New Century program during the prime time, of course, the advertising expenses generated by this segment belong to us.”

"The above is the future business strategy of New Century. Next, let's talk about the business strategy and direction of our New Century TV Network."

"New Century TV Network is targeting young people as the market. Therefore, New Century TV will produce programs that are more youthful and entertaining. The programs cover news, entertainment, sports, movies, and TV dramas. This is basically the same as that of local TV stations. There is not much difference in how it works.”

"On the basis of the New Century TV station, I would like to focus on another one, the New Century 24-hour news station."

"This will be a 24-hour TV channel that broadcasts news uninterruptedly. We will use New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and Seattle as bases to extend around the country, and at the same time collect news that happens every moment. The news in the United States is then aggregated by nodes from all over the country, and valuable and interesting news is broadcast to the people of the United States at the same time."

"In addition, we will simultaneously set up base stations located in Canada, South America, Europe, and Asia to collect major events happening around the world at the same time."

"Our goal is to make New Century News the largest, most timely, most comprehensive, most neutral, and most impartial TV station in the United States, so that the views of New Century can affect people in the United States and even the world."

Sean looked solemn, and said in a firm and high-pitched tone: "The new century needs to have the right to speak. The 'justice' defined by the new century is the justice of the whole world, and the 'evil' identified by the new century is the evil of the whole world!"

As soon as this goal was stated, all the senior executives of the New Century Company on the scene became excited.

What is this, this is power!

Holds the power to define 'good' and 'evil'.

One of the dreams everyone chases!

It is also the ultimate dream pursued by media people!

After everyone calmed down, Sean said: "Of course, this goal is ambitious, but it is also very difficult. We recognize the difficulties, but we will not back down."

"The establishment of the New Century News Station did not happen overnight. At present, there is no 24-hour news station, and there is no fixed operating mode. This mode needs to be explored by ourselves."

"Let's focus on major events happening in the United States first. After all, our target customer group is in the United States, and international events are supplemented by internal planting. The specific ratio is for you to explore slowly."

"As for how this model works, I mean to do it step by step. In addition, for example, there should not be too many things happening in the United States at the same time. What kind of things are suitable for timely broadcasting and what things can be delayed a little. This is a matter of choice. There is no standard, which can be explored in the operation of New Century Television."

"There are so many things happening at the same time, how to summarize the news in time and make it into a program in time?"

"We can first try it on New Century TV and various local TV stations, find out the problems and improve it, because of the nature of the news station, once the news station starts broadcasting, we don't have so much room for error."

"Peter, the New Century TV station is our foundation, and the news station is our sublimation. Do the foundation first, and then consider the sublimation. Don't be too hasty on this point."

Pete Chernin nodded heavily, "I understand, don't worry, boss, we will first set up a project team for news programs at the news station. First, we will supply news materials to New Century TV and local stations in real time, and then we will have all-round We will consider setting up a separate news station after the foundation of the operation has been established.”

"Well, very good!" Sean nodded. "Let's talk about the next one. Because we are targeting the young people's market, sports is an indispensable program. In the early stage, we will separately purchase the number of live broadcasts of the four major league games."

"But in the later stage, we will open a separate New Century Sports Channel in New Century, sign a TV broadcast contract with the four major leagues, and provide timely and professional sports live broadcasts and commentary analysis for audiences across the United States 24 hours a day."

"If we want to achieve the above, our foundation is New Century TV Station. We try to expand the number of users connected to our TV station. The first step is to complete the coverage of the top 20 cities in the United States. This process should be as short as possible. It can be achieved through mergers and acquisitions. Finish."

"Get San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, Miami first."

"During this process, our programs must be exciting enough to keep our customers from losing."

"The main way for TV stations to attract viewers is to use TV dramas and variety shows. Let's not talk about TV dramas. At present, New Century does not have the ability to invest in the production of dramas. Just entrust Sean Films to do the production. I said Let’s talk about variety shows.”

Sean smiled after watching the crowd and said, "As we all know, besides being a young, handsome, and unrestrained rich man, I'm also a famous screenwriter!"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

As the boss, of course everyone needs to know about Sean's script writing and filming.

The rich in the United States, or the rich in the world, don't like others to say that they are nouveau riche, so many rich have a tradition of publishing books, participating in sports activities, and artistic activities.

Whether you really understand it or pretend to understand it, you have to package yourself, such as Jianguo, who has participated in many movies, the more famous one is Home Alone.

So it's not surprising that Sean did this. What's really strange is that Sean actually succeeded!

The first "Bank Robbery" exploded at the box office. In "Basic Instinct" released in the past few days, Sharon Stone's thighs also swept the United States, regardless of gender.

What's more, the editor of "Basic Instinct" is Sean himself... that's weird!

"I named this variety show "American Idol", which aims to discover new idols in the folk music scene across the United States."

"First, the folk auditions start from all over the United States, and then the contestants in the auditions from all over the country decide the winners and losers. This ranking takes the top five and enters the second stage of the national stage. After that, the semi-finals, the rematch, the final, and the final national ranking. Five contestants, we will send record contracts according to the ranking."

"There are two most attractive parts of this show. The first one is the judges. We will hire the best and different singers in the United States as judges at a high price. We can invite some who have a bad relationship. The judges' quarrel will be a big selling point." Sean smiled, "It's even better when you fight."

Immediately everyone burst into laughter, these days because of Sean beating Murdoch, New Century has added more users than in previous years!

This shows the charm of celebrity fights!

"The second is local forces. For example, our players from Houston, should Houstonians support them and fully mobilize local forces, such as this!"

Sean suddenly said loudly in a passionate voice: "Welcome to call the 10086 hotline, give your favorite players the warmest support, cast your vote, and you will decide their life or death."

Everyone felt it instantly, and there was an inner taste!

"Once it enters the national stage, people from all over the world will frantically launch our New Century TV Network in order to support their idols!"

Compared with the goal mentioned before, this practical method made everyone see the future!

A brand new, groundbreaking show, in this era of relatively scarce entertainment, is bound to be popular in the United States.

"You guys discuss the specific production plan, and I'll help you revise it in the end." After that, Sean looked at Pete, "Pay attention to the registration of patents, and the registration must be strict enough to prevent other TV stations or countries from plagiarizing. The show is very popular, even if we sell the copyright in the future, we can earn more."

"must!"

"Okay, the general direction is like this. The establishment of the New Century TV Network must be completed at the same time. When the time comes, it will be an instant hit and shock the entire United States!"

"Papa papa" everyone in the conference room applauded vigorously.

They have been working on TV shows for many years. Whether Sean's idea is good or not, everyone can still have a basic judgment.

It is indeed novel and attractive, which is what makes everyone admire.

Before the meeting ended, Sean suddenly said, "In the future, I will inject hundreds of millions of dollars into New Century for company expansion. Everyone, New Century will surely move forward. I hope that in a few days Years later, I can still see you here.

After the meeting, Sean went to Pete's office to chat for a while.

"You have to convey what I just said to the directors of the board of directors, and then you will gradually inject funds into the company."

A large part of the reason why I want to talk to Lynch about the deferred payment of 400 million is for this matter!

He injected funds, and if other people wanted to keep their shareholding ratio unchanged, they had to inject funds in proportion, otherwise they would be diluted by Sean.

Sean notified in advance, which was regarded as a greeting.

Of course, diluting shares is one purpose, leaving enough funds for the expansion of the new century is another purpose.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Xiao En will not let the new century develop slowly. Mergers and acquisitions are the fastest way to expand, but this requires - Dao Le!

Controlling the right to speak and the media is the most important part of Sean's future plan, and Sean will always pay attention to it.

In the evening, another grand party was held, and Sean continued to play until very late before going back.

...

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sean got on the booked charter flight, headed for Washington!

Before going to Lao Sa's place last time, Lao Bu talked about some things in a spirited manner, and today I'm going to Lao Bu's house to have a good talk.

In addition, Sean had to meet his uncle Jay Rockefeller in Washington.

Xiao En is not in politics, so it is impossible to position himself as a member of the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party. While he has a close relationship with the Old Bu family of the Elephant Party, he must also express enough goodwill to the Donkey Party.

In the storm of public opinion caused by Murdoch this time, many people from the donkey party stood up and criticized Sean.

This kind of thing can't happen again next time.

"Uncle Jay!" Sean called out very kindly as soon as he came up.

"Hi, don't mind if I call you that, Sean." Jay Rockefeller looked up and down Sean curiously.

For this nephew who appeared out of nowhere, Jay was kind and curious.

90 points of silence.

It is difficult for you to let an old-fashioned aristocrat who, as the eldest son and grandson, has received old-fashioned aristocratic education since childhood, is used to being rigid, follows the rules, and has devoted himself to the political circle to accept a rise from the bottom, who behaves weirdly, illogically, arrogantly, violently, and addicted to violence. Killer guy.

However, this did not delay Jay smiling and inviting Sean to his home for hospitality.

After all, he is a 'family', not to mention, he is a politician!

Small talk is commonplace, but Jay didn't mention anything about Sean's childhood with great interest, and talked about the last few years.

A few words of praise from time to time made Xiao En feel like a spring breeze when he chatted.

No wonder you and your father can't beat old David...

This is Sean's inner evaluation, too gentle, without David's domineering and unconventional drive.

After talking to the parents, Jay mentioned in a roundabout way that some of Sean's actions were contrary to the donkey party, which caused dissatisfaction among many people in the party.

"I'm not US Dao Le. It's very difficult for me to make everyone like me. I know that very well." Sean said with a serious expression, and said extremely resolutely: "However, whether they like me or not, there is one thing they must Accept, that is, I must be active in this period of American history, and it cannot be changed!"

"Uncle Jay can help me convey it to them. The governor of New Jersey, Benny Carville, has a very good relationship with me. Our cooperation is very happy. New Jersey belongs to the Democrats now, and the next term will also belong to the Democrats."

Jay was made very uncomfortable by Sean's sudden strength, his brows were slightly frowned, and he didn't want Sean to interrupt him just as he was about to say something.

"I completed the acquisition of Capital Media and reorganized it into New Century TV Network. In the future, New Century TV Network will change its previous business strategy."

"This acquisition is not the end. New Century will not stop for some time in the future. It will increase the acquisition of local limited TV stations. The goal will be to become the fourth largest TV network in the United States and the largest cable TV network."

"As my hometown, New Jersey's cable TV network will inevitably fall into the hands of New Century, and wireless TV will also become New Century's affiliated TV station."

"The TV network is only a part of the media group I envisioned. In the future, it will be a large media group spanning TV, newspapers, and film and television."

Staring blankly at Sean, Jay opened his mouth but said nothing.

Sean told the donkey party through him that the governor of New Jersey is in my hands, so please shut up!

Jay just heard that Sean acted perversely, but only after getting in touch with him personally did he understand what it meant.

I'm your uncle, my tone is too harsh!

"Hahaha, Uncle Jay, you actually don't have to worry about those irrelevant people, there's no need." Sean suddenly smiled, "Actually, I don't care what they like to say, as I said, I'm not Dao Le can't make everyone like me."

"Also, some people don't like me and attack me, which is not a bad thing in my opinion."

"It's not a bad thing!?" Jay frowned and looked at Sean in disbelief. This is not a bad thing.

"Of course, it's not surprising. I'm not a politician, and I don't need a good reputation." Xiao En said with a smile: "Actually, I have a clear definition of myself."

"I, Sean Rockefeller, a person who doesn't like to follow the rules, has a bad personality, is impulsive, violent, lustful, and extremely vindictive."

"I never thought about creating a good image for myself."

"Why?" Jay's education has always been gentlemanly, noble, cultivated, and stylish.

"Because a good person, if he accidentally does something wrong, he will be criticized overwhelmingly, even if the thing is not bad, it is insignificant."

"As for an outright bad person, if one day he suddenly reaches out to a beggar, all the praise will be received." Sean's face was full of mockery, "So, why should I be a good person?"

Jay was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

Although he didn't want to show any sense of approval, he had to admit that most of what Sean said was correct.

But, he definitely can't be this kind of bad guy, and can't keep that face off.

"By the way, Uncle Jay, I came to you to ask you something." Sean said without any embarrassment, "You know, I'm in the business of recycling and cleaning up urban garbage. I want to get this business in West Virginia and Kentucky, I know that Uncle Jay has deep roots in West Virginia, and Kentucky is relatively dominated by the Democratic Party, so..."

"This thing doesn't make money, does it?" Jay wondered why Sean was willing to invest in such a dirty business.

"Of course, I don't make much money, but I also have an advantage. I am a staunch supporter of environmental protection." Sean said with a smile.

Jay made no secret of his disbelief.

Xiao En shrugged his shoulders and did not argue. The investment in waste recycling business is not high, the income is not large, and the technical content is not high. It is a relatively labor-intensive industry.

In the future, there will be fewer and fewer such industries in the United States...

What Xiao En likes is the indispensability of garbage collection and the huge employee system. Of course, the income is very stable.

Jay didn't find it difficult to help Sean get the garbage collection business in Kentucky.

After all, he is from his own family. Judging by Xiao En's posture, even though he is an illegitimate child, he will definitely play an important role in the family in the future.

For the next generation, I really can't see anyone who can compete with Sean!

Just for this, Jay had to help.

After chatting about the business, Jay left Sean for lunch. Originally, he wanted to keep Sean to stay here so that his son could get in touch with Sean more.

But Sean said that he would visit Old Bu's family at night, so Jay could only let him go.

Watching Sean get into the car and the convoy disappearing at the end of the road, Jay sighed softly, turned to his son and said, "You should also go to New York in a few days and go back to Rockefeller Manor."

"Get in touch with the family, especially Hayden."

Jay's son was not stupid, he understood what it meant when he heard it, he was going to hug the illegitimate son's thigh! !

The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling very reluctant in his heart.

His family line is the orthodox inheritance! !

In fact, whether it is the East or the West, the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the family business is the same.

No, it should be said that the West cares more about tradition and the natural inheritance rights of the eldest son, and the second son should theoretically leave the house.

To his uncle's freedom...

This is the most fundamental reason why Jay and his son are alienated from the family. Psychologically, they are full of dissatisfaction and resentment at the fact that the fifth David has obtained the inheritance of the family.

It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and they are dissatisfied, unwilling and helpless.

However, Jay actually gloated at the appearance of the illegitimate son Sean.

He wanted to see what would happen to the fifth uncle David who had snatched the inheritance right from his father!

My own family is at best a middle-class man, but old man David's son is not much better.

However, how did Jay know that old David was very suspicious that Sean was his seed...

...

At the door of Old Bu’s house, Xiao Bu’s smiling face looked like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. Seeing Xiao En get off the car, he ran over in three steps at a time, and asked in a low voice, “Are you really with Yi Fang?” Wake up? I heard you personally ordered that plane shot down!"

"Uh...it's true, but can you stop acting like this?" Sean looked at Xiao Bu speechlessly.

"Bring me one this time, Falk, last time in Cartagena was not enjoyable enough!" Xiao Bu got closer.

Your mother, looking at Xiao Bu's slightly flushed face, Sean finally realized that this brat is really a warmonger in his bones.

No wonder this guy launched two wars during his tenure, but the choice was not very wise. In the end, the war was delayed for more than 10 years and could not be ended.

"Has the Presidential Palace decided to send my people to the rescue?" Sean understood instantly.

Xiao Bu chuckled, "Go in and talk."

Entering the room, Xiao En warmly hugged Old Bu first, and then hugged Xiao Bu's mother.

After exchanging pleasantries, we started eating. At the dinner table, no one talked about business matters. The Old Bu family was very curious about the story of Sean and Murdoch.

Obviously, even the president or the future president is very gossip!

Gossip is the center of the spiritual world!

Sean smiled and said the matter again. In fact, after so many days, the matter is still fermenting.

Murdoch's media are still looking for various reasons to mock and insult Sean, and New Century does not show weakness, and has been staring at several major newspapers under Murdoch all day long.

Any report that is slightly distorted has to be refuted repeatedly for a while, and the sentence "Look, they ruled out another wrong answer for us" is hung at the very end.

Now, many Americans are not only concerned about the conflict between Sean and Murdoch.

More people like to watch the scolding battles between the two sides!

"I've already given an order to the station, asking them to collect a song with a simple melody, catchy, and good enough to satirize Murdoch and those tabloids for me." Sean smiled Said: "In the next two days, you will see this advertisement for soliciting songs. The top three songs with the highest popularity will receive 100,000, 70,000, and 30,000 bonuses."

"Pfft, hahahahaha!" Xiao Bu, who had no professional training after all, turned his head suddenly, sprayed out the whole mouthful of rice, and laughed all over, "Oh my god, you are so stupid, I don't know what to do. How to describe you, but I know that Murdoch will be mad!"

"I designed this as a program. Every song has to go through the primary selection in the station. After the primary selection, it will be broadcast on the TV station, and then the winner of each episode will be selected according to the audience's votes. Then, after entering the next round A round of PK will finally determine the top three!"

"You young people, really..." Old Bu also couldn't laugh or cry. As politicians, they have done a lot of satirizing their opponents, attacking and slandering them, but they have never done such a thing as collecting a song specifically to satirize their opponents. .

The most important thing is not the song itself, but the collection of songs!

Collecting songs has always been used for positive things.

For example, the team song of a certain team, the song of a big game, the song of a party.

Call for songs to swear...

unprecedented!

Not too harmful, but extremely insulting!

"I'm already feeling sad for Murdoch, this is really a poor guy, he might really go crazy." Old Bu shook his head and said with a strange expression.

"Better not!" Sean said with a serious face.

Seeing what Xiao En said, the old cloth family looked over with a strange expression.

"If he's crazy, the ratings will plummet in the future, and I'll feel bad," Sean said, tilting his head in thought, "Well, I think I should call Murdoch in advance One sound, let him have a mental preparation!"

'Pfft, hahahaha' this time, Lao Bu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everyone had a great time at dinner.

After the meal, in Lao Bu's study, each of them had a cup of coffee and began to talk about business.

"You should know that seven years ago, students from Yifang surrounded the US embassy in Yifang and detained many diplomats. Although they were all released later, we still have hostages in Yifang's hands, and they were detained in the Lebanon in Syria, a few journalists."

Lao Bu said with an ugly face, "The mid-term elections are coming soon, and the donkey party will definitely take the opportunity of the government's delay in resolving the hostage incident as a breakthrough to criticize. This makes us very passive."

"I understand that's how our President Reagan attacked Carter back then." Sean said with a smile, "However, it shouldn't be difficult to rescue a few reporters. It has been 6 years, and it is impossible for all aircraft and warships to not need to be repaired and replaced parts, and the missiles will never be finished."

"Those arms suppliers have a very close relationship with the Iraqi side. It is not easy to get a few hostages back."

After Xiao En finished speaking, he found that Old Bu hadn't answered. Looking carefully, he found that the boss's face became even more gloomy.

Instinctively, I felt a little bad, and my mind couldn't help spinning rapidly.

Soon, a somewhat bizarre idea popped up, "Fack, Reagan is not privately still having a deal with Yi Fang!"

"No, Reagan is crazy. The government absolutely cannot negotiate with the hostages. This is a cowardly act!"

"He personally identified Efang as a terrorist organization, and in his public speeches he said that he was determined not to negotiate with "evil countries" such as Iran and Libya. If he does this, he is not afraid of being exposed by his opponents?"

"How can this kind of thing be concealed? Even if there is no problem on Reagan's side, who can guarantee that the donkey gang will not be able to bribe Yifang!"

"No, no, no, that's for sure. They can definitely buy Yifang. Why not? They don't have any good feelings for the United States." Sean said with a puzzled look: "Reagan is crazy? He shouldn't, he shouldn't be like this No brains."

...

I squeezed it out, I really squeezed it out, and I persisted for more than 40 consecutive days.

Created a record since the book was written by Fireworks. To be honest, I have never written the book with the best grades so diligently.

It was really stimulated by the leader of the big guys.

However, the grades of this book were really bad at the beginning. The first order was 950, and the follow-up was 700. However, many friends advised me to just cut it and forget it. This grade cannot be written at all.

Die poor!

Fireworks considered that he had just cut a book, so he couldn't lose his character, and he wanted to stick to it. If he insisted on a million words, it wouldn't be considered unfinished, and it would be an explanation to the readers.

Unexpectedly, I really did not expect that the following readers are so awesome, and the results can be said to be steadily improving, which is 4 times the first order. This is what Fireworks did not expect.

Therefore, I really frantically wrote this book, and it really drained the old man...

Let me slowly, slowly, update normally these days, 8000.
