Chapter 312: Belonging to the Matrix

(Please give me a monthly ticket, please subscribe!)

Nowadays, TV stations are still very mysterious and huge in the eyes of Chinese people. How can they own them in the state? It is good for Chinese people to watch domestic TV series nowadays, and they have no idea about American TV series. I am surprised to hear the news that Chen Tian wants to acquire American TV stations. Isn’t it fake?

There has also been a wave of discussions on the Internet, and some people who stick to their own opinions: "Chinese people want to buy American TV stations? Or after 2000? Stop teasing, take a shower and go to bed."

This statement has some truth. After 9/11, the United States' review of foreigners' TV stations has been strengthened, but more Chinese people have bought TV stations. This person is obviously because of the news.

Some people also said bluntly, "American TV stations can only buy American nationality, which is common sense. I think Murdoch could only become a US nationality in order to buy Fox TV network, and he also took great effort. Are you a Chinese nationality wanting to buy a TV station in the United States? YY is not like this, don't you be afraid that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will check the water meter!"

Obviously the same problem is the case. It can only be said that China's water check meter department is too majestic.

There are no such laws and regulations in the United States that Chinese people think are "common sense". Individuals rarely buy TV stations, and they are generally purchased and created in the name of foundations or enterprises. As for "water check meters", perhaps FCC institutions will strengthen supervision, content review and grading, and it is just management of content scale.

Because cable TV stations like H wave and showtime need set-top boxes to access (the program content is still encrypted), it is easy to restrict children from watching, and the natural control is very loose, and fruity, swear words, and even erotic content can appear in the program; and for TV stations such as usa, tnt, and fx, FCC does not restrict them from broadcasting adult content, but because of the expectations of viewers and advertisers, they do not do this, so the content scale is similar to that of public stations.

In a word, TV stations such as usa, tnt, fx, amc, sci-fi, Disney, mtv, cnn, etc. also rely on advertising to live. If the content is broadcast, parents will object, the ratings will drop, advertisers will withdraw, and their income will decrease, so they generally self-discipline the broadcast scale. In fact, they will still often play edge balls.

The biggest example is that even Al Jazeera, which was clearly marked as "anti-American" by the Bush administration, can be prevalent in the United States, and even a few American TV stations scold the president.

This is just a matter of political views. The U.S. nationals who do not support the president always account for more than half of the total.

For most mainlanders, it is completely unimaginable, but it is not a strange thing in the United States. Even if a non-famous crosstalk actor Guo, a Chinese non-famous crosstalk actor, was embarrassed by the TV station in the mainland, and he would go to the United States to buy TV stations to perform crosstalk, and he actually did it. This is really strange.

The mainland media were also very surprised at first, and then they learned more and more about the American TV model. Experts from all walks of life also jumped out to help Chen Tiandu analyze the various causes and consequences of Chen Tiandu's acquisition of the TV station in detail. After domestic TV media also rushed to report, people gradually understood what was going on.

Even so, it is still very amazing.

After all, this is also a big TV station. It has been broadcast in the United States for more than 6 years and has 200 market signals covering the entire United States. Such a rumor has made many people know about such an American TV station.

"The matrix is ​​getting stronger and stronger, and Chen Tian is getting stronger and stronger!"

Hong Kong media also reported: "Chen Tian wants to be the next Murdoch, and acquiring Upn TV is the first step."

The outside world was watching the fun, but the inside of the upn was filled with fear.

"How sincere is Chen Tianduo to acquire Upn? Chen Tian really likes this ragged company, or is Sony taking this opportunity to ask huge employees to apply for bankruptcy and let them lay off their jobs?"

There are not many people in the TV station who are still interested in doing programs seriously. They have no confidence in themselves. If anyone works in a TV station that has been in debt and has no profit for many years, they will also have this kind of worry, and everyone is filled with fear of being about to lose their jobs.

911 not only hurt Americans' face but also Americans' economy. At a time when the US economy is constantly falling, the horror of the word "unemployment" is completely imaginable.

This means that mortgage loans may be terminated, which means giving up a decent job, which means starting to cut the interview information in each newspaper and then wear neat uniforms to go through the interview period to find a new job, and it also means that they are leaving this upn TV station that has already developed feelings for?

"But what if Chen Tian really wants to acquire Upn and manage it well," after all, Matrix has a good reputation these days.

The tax payment date at the end of the year is getting closer, and Chen Tiandu has no confidence to continue to argue with them, and urges Donnie to do it as soon as possible.

"30 million US dollars is enough, not to mention that you have to bear more than $40 million in debt." Downey seemed very angry at the negotiating table. "My boss called me just now. Do you know what to say... I want to reject his request because this is a complete denial of my job."

The Sony negotiating team looked at Donnie who was suddenly angry for no reason and heard what he was going to say, "Isn't it a purchase again? This is really not good news." He was also filled with a stir in his heart.

"You should be glad that it is the New Year." Donnie slapped the table hard with an angry expression, saying, "My boss told me that if we sign the contract before the end of the year and complete all handover work, we can pay an extra $5 million. This is the bottom line. After the New Year, we will have too many choices. Let's do it yourself."

Sony looked at each other, and the word "New Year" had already revealed a lot of information. After this just now, they did not dare to ask for high prices too much, so they had to report the news back to Sony's senior executives. It didn't take long, after all, no one wanted to miss the 5 million.

The signing date is scheduled on December 28. Chen Tiandu flew to New York and signed a contract with CBS senior representative Les Moonfors under the witness of the media. From then on, Upn officially changed hands, and Sony finally got rid of this huge burden.

"Click, crack~~!"

Countless flashes surrounded Chen Tian, ​​"How much money did Christmas Chen spend this acquisition?"

"I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to disclose the specific amount." Chen Tiandu responded with a smile.

"Will upn be changed in the future? Matrix TV Network? Which audience will be produced in the future? Is your acquisition of upn really for Kate's reality show?" A series of questions made people breathless.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside: "Mr. Christmas, Mr. Chen, how would you arrange a huge employee contract for Upn? Will you lay off a large number of employees?"

Dozens of employees marched over with the title, and they were filled with darkness. The question just now was the black man in charge shouted with a loudspeaker. This action immediately attracted the attention of all reporters, and the camera turned to them one after another.

"Protesting that Sony abandoned its employees, malicious transactions of upn have reached the layoff plan." "Refusing to lay off unp employees." "Swearing to advance and retreat with unp~!"

There were also staff from the Labor Rights Association on site, busy, and everyone looked indignant. The security guards on site were also facing a great enemy. Les Moonfors had signed the letter and walked away in shame at this moment and threw the mess to Chen Tiandu. But many people knew him. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were surrounded by a group of people. They even had their glasses off. They were so embarrassed.

Seeing the scene chaotic, Peck had to arrange security guards to let Chen Tian leave first. It was too common for American employees to protest, and many things could not be solved by demonstrations. But the lower-level figures can only follow this seemingly democratic route when they express their protests.

Chen Tian waved his hands and pressed his hands down several times. The scene miraculously quieted down, and all the microphones were facing the high platform. Chen Tian said calmly: "I can answer your questions, but I don't like being surrounded and answering questions very much. If I remember correctly, the Upn TV station still has a program to play today. How many people have come and how many people are working? I don't want the company I bought just now to spend a lot of money and still have to bear half a million in debt. Now Upn is a matrix company. Let go of the poor Mr. Rice Moonfors. If the employees have any opinions, they can send a delegation to negotiate with the matrix, but I hope most people will go back to work as soon as possible!"

The leading black man was questioned by Chen Tiandu's series of words that were not too slow but could not get into the mouth. He was immediately suffocated. It was not a wise approach to compete with the new boss. He immediately explained: "We are just protecting our own rights and do not want to siege anyone, sir."

"So are you the representative, Mr. Martin Mohan, I can tell you now. No promise you want will be here. What can a reasonable explanation be used to make you more comfortable taking over this reality?! I only know that if someone at a TV station doesn't want to continue working, then he will have a high chance of resigning himself or being fired by me."

Chen Tian even said his name frankly, which made Martin Mohan stunned. He really didn't know that this new boss actually knew him.

Then Chen Tiandu walked up to them, looked at the signs and said, "I am very happy about the slogans you wrote today. At least this is not a bad company. I hope that everyone will remember the words "swear to be with the company" today, and remember this day, how eager and hard it is for you to keep this job. When the TV station wants everyone to work next year, you must work harder."

After saying that, he walked out under the protection of a group of people. A young man held a sign "Swearing to advance and retreat with unp~" and almost hit Chen Tiandu. Fortunately, he was blocked by the bodyguard. Then he rushed over like a thunder, and immediately wanted to stop this unlucky guy. Fortunately, Chen Tiandu stopped him.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it." The young man was completely frightened by the bodyguards who rushed over. He thought he was going to be beaten.

Chen Tiandu took his slogan casually and looked at it, "It's okay, I like this slogan, but it's time to change the words upn." Then he returned the placard to him, patted his shoulder and said, "It's time for you to go back to work."

When passing by Les Moonfors, people had automatically made way. Chen Tian stopped, bent down and helped him pick up the glasses on the ground and blew them. Unfortunately, the mirror was broken, "Sorry, Mr. Les, my staff broke your eyes, I can compensate."

Calling these protesters by "my employees" immediately made people look at each other, and they didn't know what their mentality was. Les took his glasses in a dirt face, but still sorted out his messy hair, and squeezed out his smile with a very graceful look, "No need."

Just now, he was one of the bosses of Upn. He became an outsider in a blink of an eye. Chen Tianmu also needed to win over the reputation based on the employees. This taste was really mixed.

Chen Tiandu walked into the car and left the demonstrations, leaving the employees there with a slight slight scrutiny. But his every move just now had a lot to ponder. Although Chen's tough words on Christmas made people look idiotic, they felt willing to be scolded by him, especially when he heard him say to Rice, "I'm sorry, my employee broke your glasses", all the shouts stopped, replaced by a sense of belonging.

It would be embarrassing to stay here again. Martin Mohan discussed with a few people and began to organize everyone to go back and continue working.r1152
