The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 149 The idea of ​​new media website

Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.

Erica drove the Cherokee and drove halfway up the mountain.

After passing the last intersection, she quickly turned her head to look at Hawke and asked deliberately, "Are you not nervous at all?"

Hawke smiled, “Why do you have to be nervous.”

"That's right." Erica stretched out her right hand, held Hawke's left hand, and said, "We have experienced the test of life and death together, what's more terrifying than facing the arrival of death."

Hawke never says sweet words, but some words are more heartbreaking than sweet words: "I'm not nervous because Paul Ferguson is your grandfather, and you are my greatest backer."

Erica suddenly stopped the car and said directly, "Haoke Osmon, if you do this, I will not help but propose to you."

She started the car and continued to drive forward. When she arrived at a luxurious manor halfway up the mountain, the gate of the courtyard opened automatically.

The house covers a wide area and has a relatively old architectural style, which may have been built for a long time.

Erica drove her car directly to Fountain Square.

A housekeeper came over to open the car door.

Hawk brought the gift that Erica had prepared for him in advance, got off the car and said kindly: "Thank you."

The butler smiled and nodded, and said to the two: "Please go here."

The three of them entered the main entrance of the villa, walked forward, walked through the entire villa, and came out from the back door.

As he passed the garden, Hawke heard gunshots, which seemed to be the sound of some type of lever rifle firing.

Then he saw a shooting range, and an old man standing on the shooting range with a cowboy hat.

Paul Ferguson is tall and slightly fat, carrying a Winchester lever rifle in his hand.

Erica introduced both parties.

Hawke took the initiative to move forward and shook hands and gave him a gift.

Paul opened it casually and found a classic Colt revolver inside.

He handed it to the housekeeper, looked at Erica, and said, "When I was a kid, I liked playing with guns the most. I was still living in the ranch. Coyotes and black bears always endanger safety. No matter whether you are strong or weak, you can only hold a gun. Only then can you survive.”

Hawke naturally responded: "I grew up between the Wyoming ranch and the mountains and fields. I have been with guns since I was a child. There are at least hundreds of coyotes who died under my gun."

Paul threw the gun over and said, "Let me see your marksmanship."

Hawke had played with this old-fashioned gun, skillfully loaded bullets, aimed at a target dozens of meters away, and pulled the trigger.

The gunshots rang out rhythmically.

Hawke emptied all the bullets in one breath.

Paul put down his telescope: "Ten rings of guns, good marksmanship!"

"My father once said, "Wolves are coming, and they must be treated with guns!" Hawke could hear what Paul said, and his philosophy was somewhat similar to him: "I can only hit them and I'm afraid of hitting them. Then they will converge for a while.”

Paul nodded slightly and said, "I'm giving you this Winchester."

"Thank you." Hawke just finished speaking, the housekeeper came over and took the gun and packed it.

Paul walked towards the rest area, waited until Hawke and Erica followed and said, "I heard Brian tell you about this incident, you did a great job."

Hawke politely said: "One person can't do it, the whole team cooperates well."

Paul's people are always blinded: "You can do it with another team, but it will be difficult for these teams to reach the current level without you."

His tone suddenly became stronger: "Brian is just the puppet in your hand."

Hawke said: "In fact, without him being in front of him, no matter how good the planning is, it is a bubble, and many things are about strength."

Paul sat in the chair and asked directly, "What are your plans next."

This problem was expected by Hawke.

Although I had never asked, Erica next to me also raised her ears.

Hawke calmly: “In addition to existing crisis PR and business strategy consulting, I am ready to move towards the online media industry.”

He is very clear about showing his value: "This time I cooperated with Brian, I discovered a serious problem. The media in the United States... temporarily placed in the California scope, most of the mainstream media, either blue or dark blue, I and Brian was completely suppressed in public opinion. Even if he took down the video, the other party still used the method of manipulating media reports to divert the direction of public opinion and weakened the lethality brought by the video."

Paul kept watching, knowing that what Hawke said was the truth.

The weakness in media and public opinion has prevented them from quickly expanding their results.

Hawke said again: "The online media responds quickly and is limited..."

Paul has a certain understanding of the Internet: "Portrade?"

"It's a bit like a blog, but it's more interactive than a blog, and it also has media capabilities," Hawke said.

Paul said slowly, “Based on my impression of the Internet, users are the key to the media you mentioned.”

"Hollywood is very important." Hawke said simply: "People in the entertainment and sports circles are basically blue fans. These guys are always helping blue intentionally or unintentionally with their popularity, such as Leonardo this time When engaged, their every move can easily attract public attention.”

He changed his voice: "But these cultural and sports stars are still scandal-making machines. I am very good at using scandals. As long as the information is exposed is fierce enough, the attention and users will not be a problem."

In fact, what Hawke wants to do is a combination of TMZ, Twitter and TikTok, which allows users to interact and entertain on the Internet and officially kick off the era of national entertainment.

But at present, mobile phones are just beginning to take photos, and mobile phones are not even popular in the most basic photography functions, and home cameras are expensive, so Douyin can only be a future. Now, the web page combination of the first two is more realistic.

The most difficult thing about new online media is to attract users.

The public's interest in entertainment gossip far exceeds that of social and political scandals.

Use the celebrity scandals that can become super hot spots to attract users.

Although celebrity scandals are relatively safe, there are still considerable risks, after all, there are interests involved.

Hawke needs some force to hold on.

Paul pondered a little: "It is a good thing for young people to have ideas and motivation. It is a legal issue. You can consult Brian more. You can discuss business matters with Erica's mother."

Hawk knew it was time to say goodbye.

He and Erica took the Winchester rifle given by Paul and left together.

Paul sat for a moment in front of the shooting range and said to the butler, "Let Erica's mother pay attention to him."

The butler immediately went to call.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

For Paul Ferguson, it would be enough to have Mary Ferguson invest a small sum of money.

Hawke Osmon succeeded and they benefited a lot.

If it fails, this loss is not even a drop in the bucket.

When Cherokee opened the manor, Erica was a little excited and said to Hawk, "My mom came to visit for the first time, and grandpa also gave her a Winchester."

"It seems that I'm well treated." That's it, but Hawke knew it wouldn't be that simple.

If you think of it from the disadvantages, this assembly line produces rifle like some kind of heart-shaped stone.

It is never easy to take advantage of the situation.

This broken thing that happened to Waglen was not only a test for Bryan, but also for him.

"Is it difficult to start a business?" Erica drove the car and sighed: "I don't know these things and I can't help you."

Hawke smiled and said, "Everyone said, you are my greatest backer."

Erica also smiled and asked deliberately, "Do you have any expectations for the result?"

Hearing this question, Musk and Zuckerberg flashed through Hawke's mind, and there was also a homeless man on the poor street, saying, "Success may become a rich man, and failure will lead to a bucket and wandering on the street."

Erica said seriously: "It's okay to fail, I'll support you."

Today is Monday, and the two have work to be busy later.

Erica sent Hawke back to Silver Lake and agreed to continue to do manual work together at night. She drove to the police station.

Hawke simply packed up his tools, took a spear and put it in a Mercedes-Benz, and rushed back to Fountain Street.

Edward and Caroline both arrived.

Hawke started to arrange a new job, and he took a file bag and handed it to Caroline: "You will do what you said last time this week. I have prepared all the relevant materials. If you lack anything, please contact me."

Caroline took it and handed Hawke a copy of the Hollywood Reporter: "This morning, the Golden Globes announced the nomination list for this year, Sarah successfully got the nomination, and Jennifer Aniston was not on the nomination list. ”

Hawke saw the photo of Sarah Parker on the page, and the image of a pregnant woman with a protruding belly was particularly conspicuous among the stars.

Edward leaned over and took a look and asked a key question: "Want to have a miscarriage later, or do she give birth to the baby?"

Hawke and Caroline turned their heads together and stared at the savior.

Edward raised his hand and said, "I just asked, there is no other meaning."

Hawke patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Do you want to **** her with another man at the same time?"

"I don't want to." Edward thought of the horror scene and shook his head quickly: "I won't ask."

Caroline went out to find an agency to go through the procedures.

Hawke asked Edward to turn on his computer, look through blog websites, and do a statistics.

Since 911, blogs have developed rapidly, and hundreds of websites of various blog types across the United States have been opened.

It is not an exaggeration to say that new blog websites are registered and established every week, and some websites are closed and closed.

Building a website from scratch is far less cost-effective than acquiring a small blog website that is about to go bankrupt.

In the afternoon, Hawke received a call from Erica, where her mother, Mary Ferguson, wanted to talk to him about the establishment of a new media website.

This is my girlfriend's mother. Hawke was very self-conscious and went to downtown Los Angeles, came to the Federal Bank Building, which had just been renamed, entered an investment holding company, and met Mary Ferguson.

The two chatted for an afternoon, and although there were some differences, they reached an agreement on cooperation.

For the next two weeks, Hawke was busy with the new company.

In addition, Erica encountered another case, and the two of them had not gone to the Atel Mountain shooting range to practice guns for a long time.

This made some people anxious.
