Chapter 1381 (1/2)
”It's Eli.”
Song Ya didn't leave ACN after recording the program. When the outside world was surprised that he threw 100 million knives to take 757 as a palace in the air, he, Ms. Sloan and ACN director Charles Skinner were having a closed door meeting until very late.
Littman tells the secret, but leishidong is not necessarily the first one to ask for ACN and ACE, but Skinner. After all, Littman and leishidong didn't have much in common, Skinner and leishidong are Jewish.
So he and Sloan want to test Skinner's loyalty.
They were very careful. They didn't talk about the future of ACN before. Sloan mainly talked with Skinner about the role of ACN in the general election, while Songya sat by and sipped silently, only to insert a word occasionally.
Skinner, with white hair, was old and tired as soon as the morning passed. He had just received a phone call.
Skinner didn't say that Sonya knew who it was. Eli, Peter's chief of staff and campaign manager, roared from the receiver. He could hear a few words from afar.
”Peter is very angry about Joan Stewart's prank today, isn't he?” Song Ya asked.
”Of course, today is the first time we've treated the governor like this...”
Skinner wry smile, ”they insist on not to quit the election, it makes Gore deputy commander team angry.”
”Well.”
Song Ya nodded. I can't hide the intimate relationship between myself and Peter from such old media people as Skinner, although he doesn't know the details
”In a word, from today on, we will give our full support to Mr. deputy commander. Let Peter and Eli get angry and let them get angry.”
Today, it's past the deadline I set for Peter. It's only a few days before the Silicon Valley tycoons' ultimatum in May, but Peter is still in the air and running in Florida.
At the thought of this, song Ya was full of trouble and pressure.
”By the way, Charlie, what do you think of the future of our two TV stations?”
Sloan felt Skinner's vigilance was weak, and took this opportunity to suddenly start to test, ”Johnson's bet TV network is going to sell, Viacom and other giants have started bidding, and we, Littman media, are also involved?”
”Can you afford it?” Skinner was surprised. ”I estimate that the transaction price will be about $3 billion. According to the current market value of Littman media... Do you want to play a snake eating elephant?”
”Let's assume we don't have to think about money.”
Songya and Sloan have always cooperated with each other. As a big boss, he began to beat the drum, ”do you just analyze the possibility?”
”Johnson, the boss of bet, is an iron elephant party. He probably won't sell it to Disney ABC, Microsoft NBC, AOL Time Warner and other liberal media alliances. Even if he wants to sell it, the elephant party will block it. We are the same. Of course, we have a advantage. Bet is African American's own TV network. If you buy aplus, the resistance will be a little less, a little bit, and the elephant party will still attack with all its strength. You, Ms. Sloan, me, and Joan Stewart are all diehard donkeys. Gordon left bet and joined the liberals. He used the infidelity scandal to stink the ultra conservative representative Dan Burton and elephant house leader Newt Gingrich
Skinner began to analyze seriously, ”except for Johnson and other senior executives, because it is more and more inclined to the entertainment field this year, the background of bet's middle and lower classes has already been inclined to liberals, which is very similar to the current situation of leishidong's Viacom CBS. The senior executives of leishidong and CBS are inclined to conservatives, but its MTV television network and some young employees are also in the liberal camp, The best fit is when bet is included by Viacom. And Redstone has been negotiating with Johnson for a long time... Redstone is nearly 80 years old. As time goes on, Viacom and bet will turn around to liberals sooner or later. ”
Ha ha, sure enough, she is talking for Lei Shidong. Of course, she may be talking about the matter. Sloan and song Ya look at each other quietly. She asks, ”you didn't mention Fox News Corporation just now.”
”They are too conservative to buy an African American TV network, and Johnson can't sell it.” Skinner replied.
”What if we're looking for buyers, too?”
Sloan gradually approached the truth, ”you know, Charlie, Littman media lost a lot in the stock market crash. Which one of the potential buyers do you think is the most sincere?”
