A 700 million deal. In fact, Sean didn't have to pay that much.

First, Metropolis Media has liabilities, and because Lynch is the majority shareholder, he must bear part of it.

Second, Lynch needs some funds to come in to save the situation, but not as much as 700 million.

If too much capital investment fails to produce benefits, it will be a loss!

Therefore, after some negotiations, Lynch and Sean reached a crude oil purchase agreement.

When neither party knows what the specific trend of crude oil prices will be in the future, it is impossible for Sean to sell at a low price and Lynch to buy at a high price.

Therefore, the two parties stipulated that Sean would be responsible for the supply and settle the accounts once every six months. The price of the settled oil would be 90% of the average crude oil market price every six months.

As the price for purchasing crude oil at a low and stable price, Sean's first payment amount is only US$300 million, and the other US$400 million will be turned into deposits and stored in Sean's bank.

Of course, interest will still be paid.

Lynch is very satisfied with this. Raw materials that are stable and below market prices are more important to him.

You may make a profit, but Sean will never lose!

…

After taking care of Lynch, Sean returned to New Century Media Company without stopping.

In the afternoon, he will also hold a meeting with the company's senior management!

The original operation mode of Capital City was that each local station operates separately. The advantage is that local stations can stand on the local side with a clearer attitude, which makes it easier to win over people's hearts.

On the other hand, national television stations should not be too clear-cut in their attitudes and should try to remain neutral, which would be a bit unpalatable.

Therefore, after Sean takes over the TV station, the operation mode of the TV station will undergo a 180-degree turn!

"First, we need to establish a national television network, New Century Television Network. All users must first activate New Century Television Network. This is a brand new television network."

"Second, the original local TV stations will still be retained and turned into branch stations. For example, the one in New York will become New Century 2, and the one in Los Angeles will become New Century 3, so as to provide users with space for free choice."

"Third, affiliated TV stations. In order to expand the influence of New Century TV, we need more affiliated TV stations. For most local TV stations, their program production capabilities are worrying, which causes them to lose a large number of users during prime time.

, so we can cooperate with them to access our new century programs during prime time, and of course, the advertising fees generated by this segment will belong to us."

"The above is the business strategy of New Century Future. Next, let's talk about the business strategy and direction of our New Century TV Network."

"New Century TV Network is targeting young people as the market. Therefore, at New Century TV, the programs we produce will be more youth-oriented and entertainment-oriented. The programs cover news, entertainment, sports, movies, and TV series. This is basically the same as that of local stations.

There’s not much difference in the way it operates.”

"On the basis of New Century TV, what I want to focus on is another one, New Century 24-hour News Channel."

"This will be a TV channel that broadcasts news non-stop 24 hours a day. We will be based on New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and Seattle and extend to the surrounding areas, while collecting what is happening every moment.

News across the United States is then aggregated by local nodes, and valuable and interesting news is delivered to people across the United States at the same time.”

"In addition, we will simultaneously set up base stations in Canada, South America, Europe, and Asia to collect major events happening around the world at the same time."

"Our goal is to make New Century News the largest, most timely, most comprehensive, most neutral, and most impartial television station in the United States, so that New Century's views can influence people across the United States and even the world."

Sean looked solemn and said in a firm and high-pitched tone: "The new century needs to have the right to speak. The 'justice' defined by the new century is the justice of the world, and the 'evil' defined by the new century is the evil of the whole world!"

As soon as this goal was stated, all New Century Company executives present became excited.

What is this, this is power!

Controls the power to define 'good' and 'evil'.

One of everyone’s dreams!

It is also the ultimate dream pursued by media people!

After everyone calmed down, Sean said: "Of course, this goal is very ambitious, but it is also very difficult. We recognize the difficulties, but we will not back down."

"The establishment of the New Century News Channel does not happen overnight. There is no 24-hour news station yet, and there is no fixed operating model. This model needs to be explored by ourselves."

"First, we will focus on major events happening in the United States. After all, the customer group we are targeting is in the United States, and international events will be auxiliary. The specific proportion is for you to explore slowly."

"As for how this model operates, I mean to do it step by step. In addition, for example, there should not be too many things happening in the United States at the same time. What kind of things are suitable for timely broadcast and what things can be delayed a little. We are still making this choice.

There are no standards, and this can be explored in the operation of New Century Television."

"With so many things happening at the same time, how can we summarize the news in time and produce it into a program in a timely manner?"

"We can first try and adjust with New Century TV and various local TV stations to find problems and improve them. Because of the nature of the news station, once the news station starts broadcasting, we will not have so much room for mistakes."

"Pete, New Century TV is our foundation, and the news station is our sublimation. Do the foundation first, and then think about sublimation. Don't be too hasty on this point."

Peter Chernin nodded heavily, "I understand, don't worry, boss, we will first set up a project team specializing in the production of news programs at the news station. First, we will mainly provide real-time news materials to New Century TV and local stations. When we have a comprehensive

After establishing the operational foundation, we will consider opening a separate news station."

"Well, very good!" Sean nodded, "Let's talk about the next thing. Because we are targeting the young market, sports is an essential program. In the early stage, we will separately purchase the number of live broadcasts of the four major leagues."

"But in the later stage, our New Century will open a separate New Century Sports channel, sign television broadcast contracts with the four major leagues, and provide timely and professional live sports broadcasts and commentary analysis to audiences across the United States 24 hours a day."

"If we want to achieve the above, our foundation is still New Century TV Station. We should try to expand the number of access points of our TV stations. The first step is to complete the coverage of the top 20 cities in the United States. This process should be as short as possible, which can be achieved through mergers and acquisitions.

Finish."

"First get San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, and Miami."

"In this process, our programs must be exciting enough to keep our customers from losing."

"The main way for TV stations to attract viewers is through TV series and variety shows. Let's not talk about TV series for now. Currently, New Century does not have the ability to invest in the production of series. It can be entrusted to Sean Films for production. I said

Let’s talk about variety shows.”

Sean looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "As everyone knows, in addition to being a young, handsome, and dashing rich man, I am also a famous screenwriter!"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

As the boss, of course everyone needs to know about Sean's script writing and filming.

Rich people in the United States, or rich people all over the world, don't like others to say that they are nouveau riche, so many rich people have a tradition of publishing books, participating in sports activities, and artistic activities.

Whether you really understand or pretend to understand, you have to package yourself. For example, Jianguo has participated in many movies, the more famous one being Home Alone.

So it’s not surprising that Sean did this. What’s really surprising is that Sean actually succeeded!

The first "Bank Robbery" exploded at the box office. In "Basic Instinct" released in the past few days, Sharon Stone's thighs have also taken the United States by storm, regardless of gender.

More importantly, the editor of "Basic Instinct" is Sean himself...that's weird!

"I named this variety show "American Idol" and it aims to discover new idols in the American folk music scene."

"First, private auditions will start from all over the United States, and then the contestants from various places will determine the winning and losing rankings. The top five will enter the second stage of the national stage, followed by the semi-finals, revival rounds, finals, and the final national ranking.

To the top five players, we will give them a record contract based on their ranking."

"There are two most attractive parts of this show. The first is the judges. We will hire the best singers in the United States to serve as judges at a high price. We can also invite some who have a bad relationship. The quarrels between the judges will be a big selling point."

Sean smiled and said, "It will be better when we fight."

Everyone burst into laughter. In the past few days, because of Sean's beating of Murdoch, there have been more new users in the new century than in previous years!

This shows the charm of celebrity fights!

"The second one is local forces, such as our players from Houston. Should Houstonians support them and fully mobilize local forces, like this!"

Sean suddenly said loudly in a passionate voice: "Welcome to call the 10086 hotline, give your favorite players your warmest support, cast your vote, you will decide their life or death."

Everyone immediately felt like they had a visceral taste!

"Once it enters the national stage, people from all over the country will definitely activate our New Century TV Network in order to support their idols!"

Compared with the goals mentioned before, this practical method suddenly made everyone see the prospects!

A brand-new, groundbreaking program, in this era when entertainment is still relatively scarce, is bound to become popular across the United States.

"You can discuss the specific production plan, and I will help you revise it in the end." After saying that, Sean looked at Pete, "Pay attention to registering the patent and registering it all over the world. It must be strict enough to prevent other TV stations or countries from plagiarizing it. As long as

The show is so popular that even if we sell the rights in the future, we can make more money."

"must!"

"Okay, the general direction is this. The establishment of the New Century Television Network will be completed simultaneously. When the time comes, it will be a hit and shock the United States!"

"Pa bang bang bang" everyone in the conference room applauded vigorously.

They have been doing TV shows for many years, so everyone can still make a basic judgment on whether Sean's idea is good or not.

It's really novel and really attractive, and that's what makes people admire it.

Before the meeting ended, Sean suddenly said again, "In the next period of time, I will inject hundreds of millions of dollars into New Century for company expansion. Everyone, New Century will move forward bravely. I hope that in a few years,

Years later, I can still see you here.

After the recollection ended, Sean went to Pete's office again and chatted for a while.

"You need to convey what I just said to the directors of the board of directors, and then funds will be injected into the company one after another."

A large part of the reason why I wanted to talk to Lynch about the deferred payment of 400 million was because of this!

He injects capital, and if others want to keep their shareholding ratio unchanged, they must inject capital in proportion, otherwise their shares will be diluted by Sean.

Sean gave the notice in advance, which was considered as a greeting.
