America's Road to Fame

Chapter 405 MCN Incubation Park

"Then what's the price here?"

William Chen is more concerned about the price of food on the island.

"It depends on the situation. Seafood will be cheaper. Vegetables and meat are a little more expensive, but not too expensive, and we will have subsidies for imported vegetables and meat. Wait until our southwestern farms start supplying them." , can bring down the price substantially.”

It is understandable that seafood is cheap. After all, Atlanta is an island, and the surrounding seafood is also abundant.In addition, the Atlanta Management Committee has purchased some fishing boats, established a fishery management department, rented fishing boats to fishermen in some surrounding countries at low prices, and purchased their fish catches to provide to island residents. Therefore, the price of seafood here is relatively low.

As for vegetables and meat, currently part of the funds of the Caitlin Foundation has opened an agricultural and animal husbandry research institute in the southwest of Atlanta to study agricultural cultivation in the climate of Atlanta, and built a farm, which will Planting vegetables and raising some livestock to provide Atlanta with fresh ingredients, coupled with products imported from nearby Papua New Zealand, New Zealand, Australia and other places, can basically guarantee the food supply of Atlanta, and the price will not too expensive.

"But besides these, there is one more thing."

Erica seemed to remember something, and said to William Chen:

"The more troublesome thing is that there is only one clinic on our island at present, and minor injuries and pains can be treated, but slightly larger problems can only be sent to large hospitals in Australia or New Zealand."

Hearing her words, William Chen realized that this was something he had neglected before, and said:
"This must be resolved. We will start to build a comprehensive large hospital now, and hire those medical workers with high salaries. Next, the Kettering Foundation will have special funds every year to donate to the medical and health care of Atlanta Island. "

William Chen knew that with the increase of residents on Atlanta, the work of public health and convenience must be paid attention to.In addition, there is the issue of education. The funds of the Ketland Foundation have been invested in this area. Now it has begun to build facilities from primary to secondary schools on the island of Atlanta. It will then cooperate with New York University and will join others in the future. More universities in the country will establish an "Atlantic University" to train talents in all aspects for the island of Atlanta.

However, in the early stage, there will definitely be a shortage of teachers and student resources, but these can play a certain role through spending money. Hiring professors with high salaries and generous financial aid will gradually improve these situations.

When a virtuous circle is formed and more and more achievements are made in scientific research, then the popularity will increase accordingly and it will be easier to attract talents to join.

At present, Atlanta is still divided into two districts temporarily due to the increase in personnel. However, after arriving at the Atlanta Management Committee Building, on the east side of the building, an area under construction is the MCN Incubation Park. In the future, if If it develops, it is likely to become a new district.

MCN means "Multi-Channel Network" and is an acronym for "Multi-Channel Network".This concept was already very popular in William Chen's previous life. Many MCN companies have achieved a very high market value, and there are also a lot of listings and financing.

It's just that there is no such concept yet, so it became the vocabulary first proposed by William Chen.

After the completion of the MCN Incubation Park in Atlanta, their Atlanta Fund will incubate potential MCN companies by investing in shares and providing more facilities and resources.

It will not be limited to Internet media platforms such as Twitter, Reddit, Live, and Weibo under the Meta Group and Future Group. Popular platforms such as Youtube and Facebook will also be involved. After all, the essence of MCN is to operate on multiple platforms for marketing.” "Internet celebrity"—it's just that William Chen's platform can obtain more resources.

However, it is worth mentioning that Chen William is still very greedy for the future development of YouTube. He once offered Google a maximum offer of 250 billion US dollars, hoping to acquire YouTube in cash, but was rejected by Google without hesitation. They called YouTube "" Not for sale".

Uh, William Chen still feels quite familiar with this name, but when he wants to buy something he really wants and gets such a reply from the other party, he really won't be very happy.

But since this is the case, Google has a firm attitude, so there is nothing he can do.In his opinion, buying YouTube with $250 billion is more worthwhile than buying Groupon with $250 billion...

If Google is willing, even if it is 300 billion US dollars, he is willing to buy YouTube now, but if it is more... then forget it, it is better to use short videos to fight against it later.

After all, with the rise of the mobile Internet, most users like to use fragmented time to watch videos, which is also the reason for the rise of short videos.

As for video content that is too long, unless the quality is good enough, it can attract users to spend time watching it. In this regard, large content production companies have more advantages.

So when the time comes, the field of long video will rely on Netflix to compete with it.

But when it comes to MCN, after completing the training of those Ukrainian girls, Bai Bing has some interest in this aspect. At that time, he can support her first, talk to her about some general ideas, and see if she can do it.

William Chen didn't know much about the industry situation of those MCN companies in his previous life, but he had heard of some, and with the experience of this life, he could also give some suggestions. As for whether she will succeed in the end, anyway Just give it a try first, if it doesn’t work, just invest in others to do it, anyway, they will definitely stand out in this respect.

Those Ukrainian girls have been introduced into Atlanta in three batches, about less than 1000 people, and they have not continued. After all, there are only those jobs that are suitable for women. It is impossible to use all Ukrainians. They apply to go to Atlanta every day. There are also many people on the island, many of whom are women, so the operation was suspended after three batches.

According to Erica’s feedback, the jobs of these Ukrainian girls are still good, especially the girls who have been screened and entered the Atlanta Management Committee to work as clerical workers. They all work harder and their work ability has improved. quick.

During this period of time, the arrival of the girls also made the sex ratio on Atlanta much more balanced, and there were also couples who became lovers with technicians from Atlanta or personnel from the South Pacific Security Company. This also played a role in stabilizing these guys in Atlanta.

In addition to the MCN Incubation Park, a large data center is also being built in a place with a suitable temperature in the Central Mountain Range. This data center will provide services for Atlanta Island and surrounding countries, and will be the main center of the Southern Cross Data Information Bureau. The source of computing power, but it is relatively difficult to build there, and it will take a lot of time to complete.

Now the main station of the Southern Cross Security Company is next to the temporary airport, guarding the entrance to the Atlanta Gold Mine.

The reserves of the Atlanta gold mine are about 300 million ounces, and it is an open-pit shallow gold mine with low mining difficulty.

Although the current international gold price has fallen, it is still maintained at US$1700 per ounce. Based on this price, the value of this gold mine exceeds US$50 billion.
