Hardy Empire 1945

Butterfly came out of China and first moved to Hong Kong. After a few months in Hong Kong, she was not very happy, so she came to the United States accompanied by her blue-faced confidant.

She is still obsessed with the film industry in her heart. Hollywood is now a well-deserved world film center, so she came to Los Angeles.

Butterfly's blue-faced confidant and Tang Zheng are friends. When they arrive in Los Angeles, Tang Zheng visits them. Tang Zheng enthusiastically arranges for them to live in Chinatown.

The Hollywood Film Factory has an open program. During this time, Butterfly has transferred several major film companies, lamenting the advancement here.

When Tang Zheng was chatting with Die, he knew that Die still wanted to act and hoped to find an opportunity. This time Hardy wanted to find an actress in her 30s and 40s. Tang Zhengxin thought it was a coincidence and immediately introduced Die.

Butterfly didn't eat at noon, so she tried her best to dress herself up. In the afternoon, she came to HD Films with her friends, and at the same time there were a few young men sent by Tang Zheng.

 …

Hardy took Han Yezhen and Irina to find a good restaurant for lunch. The three came to the film company, and when they arrived, they heard that someone was already waiting for them.

It was quite early for Hardy to say.

Inform Director Nolan and Ms. Heidi Lamarr, and let them come to interview the actors. Hardy said to the staff.

In the casting room, Hardy sees butterflies.

The woman was wearing a long skirt, about thirty years old, and looked dignified and majestic. Hardy sighed in his heart, and saw another celebrity of this era.

Director Nolan handed over a script to Butterfly. After Butterfly finished reading it, she began to perform. She felt like entering the role very quickly. Her English was very good, and her acting was very natural.

At the end of the performance, he looked at director Nolan nervously, and Nolan looked at Hardy, Mr. Hardy, how do you feel?

Hardy nodded, I think it's not bad.

In this way, the role of psychic was given to Butterfly. Butterfly was full of surprises. She didn't expect that the mirror inspection would go so smoothly this time.

At this time, Han Yizhen stepped forward and greeted Butterfly. The two spoke Mandarin. They were very happy to meet Butterfly, a fellow countryman in a foreign country.

Miss Butterfly, I'm your fan, can I take a photo with you? Han Yizhen said happily.

No problem at all.

The film company has no shortage of photographers, and soon someone came to take pictures for everyone. Han Yezhen and Hu Die took several pictures, and finally they were satisfied.

A few young men sent by Tang Zheng came in, each of them was very mighty, with their chests straightened out as much as possible, and they could be identified as Lianjiazi at a glance. Hardy scanned around, and finally his eyes fell on the young man in front.

What's your name? Hardy asked.

Back to Mr. Hardy, my name is Tang Hong, nicknamed Aaron.

Can you kung fu?

Back to Mr. Hardy, I have practiced Wing Chun, Hong Quan, nunchucks, long sticks, daggers, and Western fighting. Tang Hong said.

I'll take a look after I take off my clothes, Hardy said.

Tang Hong didn't hesitate, and immediately took off his upper body clothes, revealing his strong muscles. Hardy took a closer look at this young man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, handsome, with a well-proportioned frame and clear muscles.

OK, you are the psychic bodyguard in the movie. Hardy said.

When Hardy was choosing supporting roles, Han Yizhen and Die Die had been chatting, and the two had become good friends. After choosing A Bao, Die Die had to discuss the details with Director Nolan, so Han Yi Zhen and Die Die reluctantly said goodbye.

Hardy took Han Yezhen and Irina to his office in the film company, and made coffee for the two girls. When the three sat down to drink coffee, what did Hardy think of, looked at Irina and asked.

Eileen, you're majoring in host at the University of Southern California, right? Do you know any talents in TV stations? Hardy asked.

Our School of Communication has courses in TV broadcasting, and there are many graduates in this field. Why did the boss think of looking for TV broadcasting talents? Elaine asked curiously.

I'm going to start a broadcasting company. The Las Vegas casino promotion cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising. I plan to start my own TV station in the future, which can save a lot of advertising costs and broadcast my own programs. I feel that radio and television will have more prospects than movies in the future. Hardy said.

Irina thought for a while, Boss, it's not difficult to get a broadcasting company, but it can only be broadcast in one place. I read the information, and a broadcasting signal of a radio station can only cover one city, so big companies adopt a joint system.

CBS and NBC, the major American broadcasters, each have hundreds of affiliated TV stations, so that they can cover the entire United States.

If you want to build a TV station that covers a city, that's no problem. If you want to get a TV station that covers the entire United States, it's not easy. You need to sign a contract with each family, and even build a new TV station in that city by yourself and build your own TV network. This project is huge.”

Maybe you can rent a channel and pay the big broadcasting company every year. Irina suggested.

Rent a channel?

Hardy felt that this was also a solution.

But the lifeline is in the hands of others.

If people want to raise prices, they will raise prices, and if they want to cut your neck, they will cut your neck.

It's not a good feeling.

Irina seemed to think of something, and said, Boss, it's not impossible to quickly build a TV network covering the whole country?

Oh what way? Hardy became interested.

I heard a case from my teacher, that is, the National Broadcasting Corporation was suspected of monopolizing and the red and blue network was split.

It turns out that the National Broadcasting Corporation has two networks, one is called the Red Network and the other is called the Blue Network. The company sold Blue Net.”

A candy merchant, Edward Noble, bought the Blue Broadcasting Network for $8 million and changed its name to the American Broadcasting Company ABC. It is said that ABC has 116 affiliated radio stations, basically covering the entire United States.

Hearing the name ABC, Hardy was suddenly stunned. He knew that ABC, one of the three oldest broadcasting companies in the United States, was a three-legged rivalry with CBS and NBC, occupying one-third of the market share.

Speaking of this, Irina laughed, My teacher said that this case is not because of the monopoly case, but because that candy merchant named Edward Noble is very weird. It has been 4 years since he bought ABC. There aren't any decent TV shows.

Next to Han Yezhen has been listening to Irina telling stories, and now she is also curious, asking: Why is there no decent program?

Irina laughed, Because he only bought an empty shell. When NBC was split up, all the core personnel of the TV station were taken away. Except for equipment and coverage network, this company has no manpower.

That Edward Noble is a shrewd businessman, but he is not a media person, and he doesn't know anything about TV broadcasting. He doesn't have any resources himself. It's not so easy to make programs. Many major TV stations rely on a program production company. Just do it.

You know what a weird thing he did, hahahaha, he made the rest of the people, holding a newspaper and reading it to the camera, or playing some old movies on loop because he didn't have his own film library, it is too expensive to buy movies, Edward Noble is reluctant to invest.”

Han Yezhen also laughed, Hehe, it's a miracle that the TV station didn't go bankrupt.

Irina shrugged, That Edward Noble's candy business is very big. There are only a dozen people supporting the TV station. He can still afford this salary. Our teacher said that this Edward Noble probably didn't think about it. Do a good job with ABC, he is just raising him, waiting for the right opportunity to sell for a good price.

Hearing this sentence, Hardy's heart lit up.

If so, then you have a chance.

This is ABC, one of the three giants of the American Broadcasting Corporation in the future. If he owns him, he will not talk about the future value, but only talk about the right to speak, which will make Hardy feel excited.

Newspapers, radio, and television, before the advent of the Internet, can be described as the three major weapons of publicity, invincible.

ABC not only has TV broadcasting, but also has radio broadcasting, which has already accounted for two. Now TV is a new product, and it has a direct visual impact, which is far more powerful than newspapers and radio stations.

buy it.

Be sure to find a way to buy it.

If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it.

Hardy looked at Irina and said, Eileen, can you do me a favor?

Boss, what do you say?

Aren't you a graduate of the School of Communication? Help me get a list of professors, teachers, and graduates from your school, Hardy said.

Boss, why do you want a list? Irina asked in surprise.

I plan to buy ABC, and I will definitely recruit a large number of radio station related personnel in the future. Didn't you say that the USC School of Communication is the best radio school in the United States? I am going to send a recruitment letter to them when I get the list. Hardy said.

Irina opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Boss, you just heard a story from me, and you plan to buy ABC. This TV network is definitely not cheap. That Edward Noble bought it for 8 million. If it is sold, it is estimated that it will not be less than 10 million. Iraq Lina said.

Hardy nodded.

I know, I'm afraid 10 million may not be able to buy it. Okay, you help me get the list. I'll go back and find someone to check the situation of ABC and that Edward Noble. Let's go.

Hardy stood up as he spoke, went to hug Han Yizhen, then came to Irina's side, and hugged the French girl hard.

Thank you for providing me with such useful information, and I will be rewarded if I succeed in the future.

Hardy left after speaking.

Irina's face was slightly red.

It was the first time Hardy had hugged her, though it was a courtesy.

Hardy came to HD Security, found Henry, and ordered: Henry, help me investigate the situation of ABC Radio Station, the more detailed the better, and also, investigate the situation of his owner, Edward Noble.

Okay boss. Henry immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

Hardy finds Andy again.

He knows that it is definitely not easy to acquire ABC. Among other things, Edward Noble may not be a successful media person, but he must be a successful businessman. Buying ABC is probably up for grabs. If you want to buy it, you must The price is quite a lot.

You have to figure out your own family fortune.

Andy, I want to buy ABC TV station, calculate how much money I can spend!\u003c/div\u003e
