Chapter 929: cable television network patent

"After I signed the contract with Hearst, the first thing you have to do is collect all the sales data of home appliances in New York."

This is the same as in the early days of online shopping, when customers have the greatest desire to buy, they are often household products that are 10% cheaper than physical stores, or even 20% or 30% cheaper.

The more expensive the product, the more money you can save by discounting it.

Coupled with the celebrity Andre Rockefeller as the host, and the guarantee brought by the new company started by Li Changheng.

At this time, there should be many housewives in the United States who are willing to spend money to try the new sales model of home delivery.

With Andre - Rockefeller, followed Randall to the headquarters of the media group.

The whereabouts of Li Changheng and his party were quickly spread, but no one in the outside world immediately noticed that Li Changheng no longer planned to invest in the media group in a short time.

At least wait until the scale of TV sales has a certain scale, and the outside world's valuation of the company that holds this new sales model reaches a certain height.

At that time, I will not spend money to invest in shares, but will ask the media group and those consortiums who are eyeing the media group to come to the door for their own benefit.

-----

Randall has been in control of the media group for more than ten years, and this company was founded by his father.

As long as both the general manager and the chairman, Randall, signed a nightly broadcast authorization contract, the board of directors could at most find trouble with issues such as whether the signing bonus was a loss, whether the broadcast program would damage the company's image, and so on.

But if Li Changheng's TV sales increase the ratings, there will be plenty of TV media companies in the future, hoping that Hearst will break the contract.

Take New York in the 1970s as an example. There were 3 public TV stations and 11 local TV stations in the city.

With more than 27 TV channels launched, one can imagine how fierce the competition is.

After TV sales become popular in people's eyes, it is not a problem for Li Changheng to invest in the three major public TV stations with patents.

Take the American Broadcasting Corporation, or AB`C, for example. In 1985, the Metropolitan Group bought him for only 3.5 billion US dollars.

The reason why Hearst is expensive at this time is mostly due to the 19 daily newspapers that are distributed across the United States.

The unparalleled influence brought by 39 weekly magazines and more than 420 magazine publications worldwide.

It can be said that before the new millennium, this company was the uncrowned king of the American media industry.

Anything related to fashion, sports, travel, luxury cars, celebrity gossip can never avoid Hearst.

It is a pity that Hearst will decline in the future, also because of the decline of paper media.

Of course, the US anti-monopoly law also makes it difficult for this company to obtain more development opportunities in the TV field.

You can only make a fuss on local TV stations and sports programs.

But if you miss the online media, it is a matter of vision.

And the most regrettable thing is that in 1990, there was an opportunity to buy ESPN, which had a market value of only 800 million US dollars, in full, that is, the American Cable TV Network that specializes in broadcasting sports events.

He hesitated and bought 20%, and the rest was bought by Mickey Mouse Company.

-------

After the contract was signed, Li Changheng immediately asked people to set up the company and register various patents for TV sales.

He even used words, pictures and practical models to register the cable TV network patent that was developed by the English in 1979.

As for whether it will be successful or not, that is a question for lawyers, but the patents that can be registered should be registered first.

In the future, no matter whether it is self-developed or authorized, it will never suffer a loss if it takes the pit first.

wrong.

This is not a question of whether it will suffer a loss, but a project that will inevitably become a big storm.

Compared with the funds needed to establish a communication base station, the cost of a cable TV network is more than ten times lower, and the entry barrier is low.

In the future, most pay TV networks in the United States will use cable TV network technology.

This thing is a new technology comparable to wired telephones, and it can also lie on the patent pile to **** blood.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng suddenly felt that engaging in scientific research seemed to be a very lucrative business.

Thinking about those mobile phone patent tyrant companies, with billions of dollars in patent income every year, I can't help but go in the wrong direction.

After Randall and Li Changheng exchanged contracts, they stared at him and said, "Henry, don't destroy the reputation and credit you have been building for so many years."

Of course Li Changheng understood what he meant.

"Don't worry, as long as I don't get provoked by the outside world to act outrageously before I find them, I promise to rescue Sean."

When Randall heard this, he sighed helplessly and uneasy, "This is also the reason why I let various consortiums focus on the group's shares.

After Sean is safe, I will let people outside understand why the media is called the uncrowned king. "

Li Changheng nodded with a serious expression. He seemed to be talking about the consortium, but he was actually talking about himself.

However, if his son was kidnapped and the company was targeted by a group of hyenas, it would be difficult for Li Changheng to be as forbearing as Randall.

"We are friends, Randall, and you will see the strength of the Selby family."

"Thank you," Randall hugged Li Changheng gratefully, "If you need anything, please let me know.

And you know, for Sean, I can bear to let others bully me.

But also for Sean, I can do any crazy revenge. "

"That's right."

Li Changheng laughed, and only now did he feel that this is what Randall should do.

Otherwise, how could a super rich man with a net worth of 1.7 to 800 million US dollars be a soft persimmon.

"Wait for my news."

"Thank you," Randall hugged Li Changheng gratefully, and finally patted him on the back a few times, "No matter what the outcome is, Hearst will always be your friend."

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, took Andrew Rockefeller into the car and left.

But I knew in my heart that it was okay to be rescued.

If Sean died, God knows if Randall would suspect that it had something to do with him.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng didn't intend to let Andre out of his sight for a moment. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In other words, they simply took Andre back to the Long Island Manor, creating the illusion that the two had been talking all the time.

He left secretly, and then had someone monitor Andre, and the minimum requirement would have to be delayed until tomorrow.

When I got home, I immediately called Mike Corleone who had been in Las Vegas for the past two years on a confidential phone.

"Henry, I seem to have heard something, give me some time to check and call you back."

"OK", Li Changheng hung up the phone with a happy expression.

Then he called Yumiko from the island country and Kenjiro Yazuo, asking if the ninja they sent to the United States had arrived in Los Angeles.

I heard both said that each sent a team of 16 people, that is, 32 ninja teams.

Li Changheng was relieved when he could arrive in Los Angeles or San Francisco in 2 or 3 hours.
