mtl008 Chapter 155 TV Station Purchase Plan
Chapter 155 TV Station Purchase Plan
FIRST Films is located in a suburban town near Hollywood in Cedar City, California.
Before Su Jin arrived at FIRST, he first went to the Hollywood town to visit the employees of Hello Films Overseas Distribution Company's office.
Yu Feifan and a dozen company employees work in a rented private residence. This is allowed in the United States, provided that you pay taxes on time!
According to Yu Feifan, this private detached house is the private residence of a very famous director. The director has a residence elsewhere, and this house became vacant, so he rented it out.
According to Su Jin's idea, the office could be purchased directly, but there were no vacant houses for sale in Hollywood Town, and the prices were extremely expensive!
Yu Feifan converted part of the residence into an office and kept the other part in its original appearance as a staff dormitory.
Su Jin took a look and found that although it was renovated, the office area only added office desks, printers and other office equipment on the basis of the original decoration.
Yu Feifan took Su Jin on a tour. When they arrived at the garden, they were a little surprised to see the vegetables growing well in the pots.
Yu Feifan: "There are too few varieties of vegetables in the United States, and the garden cannot be left empty. We thought of many ways to find these vegetable seeds and grow them as flowers."
Su Jin nodded: "Not bad!"
Most of the employees are Chinese, and they have the ability to grow vegetables in their genes.
She is not a rigid and pedantic boss. As long as you don't break the law and complete your work actively, she won't care even if you dance in the office every day!
When they arrived at the meeting room, Yu Feifan handed the promotion plan of the Hello Video app to Su Jin.
"Currently, the promotion of the Hello Video app has begun on various TV stations and the Internet. We have purchased plots from several well-known sitcoms to insert advertisements."
That is, the form of this inserted advertisement is to allow the actors to mention it inadvertently in the life of the TV.
Yu Feifan: "In addition to the promotion of the company's artists, the number of overseas registrations for the app has now exceeded 10 million, and the daily growth is within plan."
Su Jin nodded. It was only a matter of time before the app became popular. It contained novels like "Sherlock Holmes", anime "The Prince of Tennis", and animation "Tom and Jerry".
Especially Sherlock Holmes, this novel can be said to have become a phenomenal hit all over the world.
The fourth of the eight physical books has been published!
It was reprinted countless times during this period, and the people in the overseas publishing department of Hello Film and Television used various methods to whet people's appetite, such as the combined edition, hardcover edition, and collector's edition.
After thinking about it, Su Jin decided to let the intelligent computer synthesize the first volume into anime CG to whet people's appetite again!
And a batch of novels were put on it.
Yu Feifan continued, "Data analysis, novels, and animation are the most active areas, but their impact on other sectors is still quite good."
In other words, the number of users transferring from novels and animation to other sections is also considerable.
However, the TV series and movie sections still have too little content!
Su Jin thought for a moment and said, "There are still too few talented directors in the company. You should pay attention."
After talking about a few other things, Su Jin went to FIRST company.
It takes less than 40 minutes to drive from Hollywood town.
When Su Jin arrived, Dam, the boss of FIRST Film and Television Company, was already waiting.
The content of the cooperation between the two parties is just as Su Xiaotong revealed, a TV series.
The United States encourages the privatization of television stations, and public channels are supported by government funding, but these private television stations face tremendous competitive pressure.
The same is true for the TV station under FIRST. It almost went bankrupt and closed down last year, and is now in a loss-making state!
FIRST hopes to cooperate with Hello Film and Television, mainly because we see their competitiveness in film and television and hope to change their loss-making situation!
When Su Jin heard this, she was moved: "There is nothing wrong with the TV show, but I hope we can try a different approach."
Dam was stunned: "What method?"
Su Jin said: "I will invest in your TV station!"
Everyone was stunned!
What? The Chinese want to buy an American TV station?
Even Yu Feifan, who came along, didn't expect his boss to say something so shocking.
"I remember that American law doesn't prohibit foreigners from purchasing your TV stations, right?" Su Jin offered his own thoughts, and pointed out, "I remember that many people in our Chinese port city have their own Chinese-language TV networks in America!"
Dam frowned. "Yes, they do, but their TV network has a limited range of broadcasts."
Just like a computer LAN, it is effective within a certain range!
"They limit the range because the transmission tower they rent can only reach this range. What if we have our own satellite?"
Silence, everyone in the office was silent.
Dam stammered, "Satellites aren't cheap!"
It’s just a TV station, is it necessary to make it so big?
"Money is not a problem," Su Jin said proudly. A high-orbit satellite with the highest technological content is worth about 20 billion star coins, but what Su Jin wants is the ownership of the TV station!
With the existence of the intelligent computer, Su Jin doesn't have to worry about the satellite being controlled by others!
The reason why many powerful companies do not interfere in TV stations is because operating a TV station is not that simple. If the content is not good, it will continue to lose money!
But content is the most expensive thing.
But Su Jin has both content and money. Any movie he makes can generate tens of billions of star coins in profit with zero cost, and all of them have been tested by the market on his home planet!
If she really has to suffer a loss, she can afford it!
What Su Jin wants is to run the TV station by himself!
Dam stammered, "Then, Mr. Su, how much share do you want?"
Su Jin: "At least 90%. Of course, you can also transfer it all to me directly!"
The most difficult thing in the United States is to obtain a TV station license!
Su Jin: "Think about it! I can save your TV station, but the prerequisite is that it must be one of my own! You can also refuse, I will find other ways!"
I had never thought about this before, but now I think buying a TV station is a great idea.
Dam might not have expected that his invitation would cause all these things, but he had no choice but to hesitate. The annual rental fee for the TV station was more than 10 million star coins, and the most expensive thing was the content. He had to buy it or create it himself, and he was filling the hole every year.
This is also the main reason for FIRST's losses. In today's Internet information age, there are countless film and television apps, and fewer and fewer people watch TV.
Without much hesitation, Dam agreed!
Su Jin happily reached a preliminary consensus with the other party, and the specific treaty will be worked out after the domestic legal team arrives.
The current task is to register a media technology company, which has a certain room for tax avoidance. The tax rate in the United States is too high, especially unfriendly to foreigners. Su Jin does not want to make too much "contribution" to foreign countries in terms of taxation, so he must avoid taxes within the legal range!
A company does not necessarily have to be registered in the United States.
So these are all entrusted to professional lawyers!
As for purchasing satellites, China has this sales business! Many of the country's leading technology companies have their own satellites, so it's not surprising that Su Jin bought a satellite.
Wang Zelin was shocked when he learned about Su Jin's plan!
No, Boss, how could you cause such a big trouble just by going abroad?!
The boss really just says one word and his subordinates run themselves ragged!
Before the IP amusement park project even started, Wang Zelin went abroad.
Registering a company, buying a TV station, buying a satellite, and building a transmission tower, it really takes more than a few months to complete.
If it weren't for Yu Feifan's help, he would have been exhausted to death!
However, the thought of owning your own TV station is exciting!
