Chapter 242: We're Friends, Good Friends!

"William King's strong takeover of CNN and West Coast Current Politics has made the 17-year-old one of the top 10 media leaders in the United States thanks to a compensation lawsuit and a favorable Supreme Court decision"

As the days passed, after the Supreme Court of Justice in Washington handed down the verdict, George Jr. applied for a seizure order in the shortest possible time, and then found the CIA through his father's connections to coordinate compensation.

In just three days, the largest television station on the West Coast of the United States and the newspaper with the largest circulation changed owners.

Although the original owners were unwilling, but now that they themselves are involved in the espionage case and are no longer able to protect themselves, these people really have no way to do anything in the face of such forcible seizures.

Therefore, they can only watch as everything about themselves becomes someone else's thing.

In the past few days, major newspapers and television media in the United States have reported on this matter, which is very eye-catching.

CNN has 12 channels with a wide range of content, a large audience on the West Coast, and a good monthly revenue, usually around $200 million in advertising revenue.

What surprised Kim Hyun-tae even more was that CNN TV actually had a large adult film and television branch, which was specially used to provide content for his own adult channel.

However, considering that CNN is controlled by the Japanese, it is understandable that such a thing happened.

The Japanese are not involved in the success of the industry, are they still Japanese?

It's something obvious.

On Saturday, Kim Hyun-tae brought his daughter, Joan, and little George to CNN TV.

As the new owner, Kim Hyun Tae is definitely going to show his face and swear an oath of sovereignty.

Sitting in the luxurious and spacious office, Kim Hyun Tae checked the documents related to the company, very seriously and carefully.

"This adult film company. Can we spin it off, and I think it will have a great impact on the image of the TV station. ”

When Kim Hyun-tae saw the relevant documents, he asked Joan a little worriedly.

Joan walked over, took the document in Kim Hyun-tae's hand and looked at it, then put the document on the desk, and said to Kim Hyun-tae: "There is no need, this company is very profitable, especially since they can provide content for the adult channel of the TV station, and the income is not bad." ”

JoAnn as an American. Don't look at her as a woman, but she thinks about this matter on a case-by-case basis, and will never evaluate a thing because of her personal preferences.

Therefore, in Qiao An's view, the adult film and television company under the name of CNN TV, no matter whether it is not doing very well, as long as it can bring benefits, it is useful.

Joan is not Kim Hyun Tae, she was sent by Anne to help Kim Hyun Tae. So as long as it can benefit Kim Hyun Tae and won't let him suffer, Jo Ann must convince Kim Hyun Tae to accept it.

Anne had already seen that Kim Hyun-tae did not have the mentality of being a capitalist at all. So that's absolutely not a no-no.

For this, Anne is not less worried.

In this part of the United States, how can you be a capitalist without being a capitalist?

"Boss, you see, this company has 1 CD revenue in 2015 alone. $700 million. At the same time, the content it provides for the adult channel of the TV station has also brought more than 300 million yuan of paid on-demand revenue to the TV station, which is basically the majority of the TV station's income. So there's really no need to strip it out. ”

It's not for nothing that Joan says that.

CNN TV has two main revenues, one is advertising, and the other is paid on-demand for adult channels, which is the main component of the TV station's income.

If Kim Hyun-tae spun off the company, then the TV station will start to lose money, so how can this work?

Besides, advertising revenue is only $200 million a year.

However, the income brought by this adult film and television company far exceeds the income from advertising, which can be said to be the top priority of income.

Lo and behold, the income from selling CDs is 1 a year. $700 million, and the content it provides on premium channels also has $300 million, that's 4. That's $700 million, more than double the advertising revenue.

As long as there is money to be made, the capitalists in the United States will not care so much.

Jo Ann knows a lot about this.

Even some large companies that have been listed, seeing that this industry is profitable, are they not also involved?

This is not something CNN is doing alone, many companies are involved in this.

However, considering that his boss is not yet a qualified capitalist, Joan feels that he needs to remind him.

"Boss, in fact, the United States is very open in this regard, and there are no laws and regulations involved, so there is no need to divest out, as long as there is money to be made. Besides, this is still left by the Japanese, and if something really goes wrong in the future, it will be good if it is pushed to the Japanese. ”

Joan continues to try to persuade Kim Hyun-tae, hoping that he can dispel this idea.

Little George didn't interject and came in, after all, this is Kim Hyun-tae's own business, where he sits with Xiao Coco playing mobile games, one big and one small are very addicted.

Kim Hyun-tae sat up straight and seriously considered Joan's words.

In all fairness, what Joan said was not unreasonable.

This is the United States, an open country, not to mention that it does not break the law, and it can also bring you a good income.

What's more, the company really wasn't created on its own.

Year 4. $700 million in revenue, which is definitely not small.

Looking back at the employees under CNN TV, their monthly salaries, and various expenses, if the TV station does not make money and needs to pay for it themselves, this is also a headache.

So, Kim Hyun-tae was moved by Jo Ann's words.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, what was in the past will still be what it will be in the future. ”

Qiao An saw that Kim Hyun Tae did not insist, and she smiled happily.

That's right, that's how it should be, who wouldn't have a good time with money.

It's good, it's a bit of a capitalist now.

"Boss, there's more to this company than that. It also has a website that earns more than 100 million dollars a year. ”

Joan smiled and broke another message to Kim Hyun Tae, which surprised Kim Hyun Tae.

[How colorful are the Yankees in different time and space, how many people can make the adult subsidiary of the TV station so profitable. 】

Listening to Jo An's words, Kim Hyun Tae was completely speechless.

At the same time, Kim Hyun Tae also understands one thing, that is, this industry is really making money.

Thinking of the original time and space, the human industry was one of the three pillars of the economy of a certain island country, and it can be seen from this.

Especially in this time and space, when the population is ten times larger, you can imagine how profitable this industry is.

"Merge the West Bank Times into television. At the same time, the Chinese TV station under my original name was also merged into CNN, and it was listed as the thirteenth channel that specializes in Chinese programs. ”

Kim Hyun-tae didn't want to continue to explore this matter, so he began to tell Joan about his plans.

Joan carefully recorded it, and then said to Kim Hyun Tae: "The new manager has been found, and he can come over this afternoon to preside over the work, do you want to meet him?"

Kim Hyun-tae took over CNN TV, but he didn't have that much experience and experience in running a business, so the best thing to do was to find a manager.

It's just a matter of millions of dollars a year's salary, which is not a problem for Kim Hyun-tae.

Hear the words. Kim Hyun-tae shook his head: "No need, as long as he can manage the TV station well, it doesn't matter if he sees it or not." You have people tell him if this year is going well. I'm willing to pay him $10 million for the next year, but if he does badly, ......"

Joan nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone relay this to him." “

Sitting in the boss's chair, Kim Hyun-tae suddenly thought of a question. He asked, "Does the Wheatstone Bank have any requirements for the management of the company?"

Yes, although CNN TV was taken over by Kim Hyun-tae. But he owns only 60 percent of the shares, and the other 40 percent is controlled by the Wheatstone Bank.

Although it seems that Kim Hyun-tae is the actual controlling shareholder, he also needs to take into account some feelings from the Wheatstone Bank, and some things related to the operation of the TV station need to be discussed with the other party.

Hearing this, Qiao An replied: "The other party said that as long as the dividends are distributed every year, they are not interested in management." ”

So good?

Listening to Jo An's answer, Kim Hyun Tae was stunned.

Because it's good for him.

After all, if there is a person pointing fingers in the process of business, it will be a troublesome thing to say.

But now, Wheatstone Bank said that as long as it has dividends every year, no one cares about the affairs of TV stations and newspapers.

Yes, Wheatstone Bank is not only 40% owned by CNN, but also has a 40% stake in West Bank Times, making it the second largest shareholder.

In that case, you can help me write a thank you letter to them and tell them that I will definitely make money and bring them good returns. ”

Kim Hyun-tae instructed Joan to write a thank-you letter and express his attitude.

Jo Ann wrote it down again.

Although there are a lot of things to do at the TV station and newspaper, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't need to deal with everything, and the new director will take office in the afternoon, so some trivial matters will be left to that guy to have a headache.

After talking to Joan about the TV station and newspaper here, Kim Hyun Tae began to change the topic and talked about serious things.

"George, what does your father have to say to me?"

That's right, after taking over CNN and "West Bund Current Affairs", Kim Hyun Tae has to start giving back to George Sr., which is an obvious thing, isn't it.

Little George, who was playing a mobile game, raised his head and looked at Kim Hyun Tae: "Dig deep into the black history of conservative candidates, start building momentum for my father, of course, I am going to participate in the **** of the Los Angeles City Councilor, and I also hope you can help in this regard." ”

Hearing this, Kim Hyun Tae laughed: "No problem, from tomorrow onwards, I guarantee that the black history of those guys is the front page headlines." The second edition is a call to support your content until your father and you succeed! I'm sure the reporters at West Bank Times can do that, they love to dig up something they like, don't they? ”

After getting a definite answer from Kim Hyun Tae himself, little George was completely relieved, because earlier he was still a little worried about Kim Hyun Tae crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

After all, it's not like nothing like this has ever happened.

But now it seems that Kim Hyun Tae is still a very good partner, after all, he keeps his promises, doesn't he?

Therefore, little George's sense of Kim Hyun Tae has improved a lot again.

"So I thank you for my father, and of course I thank you myself. ”

Little George stood up, walked to his desk, and stretched out his right hand.

Jin Xiantai didn't dare to take it, he quickly stood up, and then reached out and just shook little George.

"We're all friends, aren't we, it's right to help each other, and the days ahead are still long, so we should move around more in the future." ”

Holding Little George's hand tightly, Kim Hyun Tae said this very sincerely.

And the meaning of his words can be heard by little George, obviously this is telling him that it is better to be more intimate in the future.

Little George couldn't be happy about this.

Therefore, little George responded to Kim Hyun Tae with a smile: "That's right, we will move around more in the future, and we are friends, very good friends!"

Kim Hyun-tae took out the checkbook, wrote a string of numbers on it, then tore off the check and handed it to little George.

"As a friend and supporter, I would like to express my heart on your political career and wish you all the best. ”

Little George was not polite, took the check and looked at it.

$6 million!

Ooh!

This money is not small, and it is enough to support yourself.

With this money, coupled with the support of CNN and "West Coast Current Affairs", George Jr. was suddenly full of confidence in his Los Angeles City Councilor.

"I already have a platform for my candidacy, what do you think about improving the educational environment for Chinese immigrants?"

Little George put away the check, continued to smile at Kim Hyun Tae, and said.

Kim Hyun-tae also had a sincere smile on his face and replied, "A good campaign platform can gain favor and support for you in the Chinese immigration side, and I am very optimistic about it." ”

The conversation between the adults, little Coco was not interested at all.

While George was talking to his father, Coco stepped aside, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw.

I don't know what the little guy is drawing.

When she was done, the little guy walked up to Joan and raised his little hand to poke Joan.

"Joan, I've been thinking about it for days, how about you look at this pajamas, can it be my first piece?"

Joan looked down and looked up at herself as she raised her hand to wave her own painting of Coco.

Squatting down and taking Coco's painting, Joan looked at it very seriously.

On the paper, Coco drew a pajama in the shape of an animal, and Joan could tell, it was a very cute bear costume, with round ears and a small tail.

"You see, just put it on your body and zip it up. ”

Coco explained a little to Joan.

Not!

It seems that this pajama designed by Coco is really feasible.

Joan sensitively realized that this pajamas could be made into finished products and then taken out for sale.

"I think so, so let's try it tomorrow. ”

Joan whispered to Coco.

Hearing Joan say this, little Coco suddenly became excited, and the little guy's eyes began to glow.

"Really? Wow, that's great, Coco is going to make a fortune. (To be continued.) )
