Chapter 1808 The arm can't twist the thigh
Soon, Qin Feng met Mike.
Mike is very curious about Qin Feng, the new boss.
So young?
"Boo, Britney!" Mike screamed when he saw Britney.
"Hello!" Britney nodded politely.
"Excuse me, if I want the TV station to go to the stars and broadcast TV programs all over the United States, how much will it cost?" Qin Feng asked.
"Ah, yes, yes. Generally speaking, to go to the satellite, you need to update some satellite signal transmission equipment, and then buy a dedicated channel...what, you want to go to the satellite! Let our small TV station become a national channel!" Mike said
Halfway through, he exclaimed.
This is a small TV station.
It was originally a small county TV station. Because the population here is very small, the economy is not developed, and the TV station here does not have good resources for broadcasting. It is simply unable to compete with national TV stations.
As for local news and the like, there are even fewer.
Originally, the population was small, so there were even fewer relevant news events.
Therefore, in the end, the TV station had no programs to broadcast. Without programs, there would be no advertisers, and naturally it would have to declare bankruptcy.
Now, this new owner wants to become a star as soon as he buys it.
This is too expensive.
Of course, if the other party comes with Britney, then the new boss will be Qin Feng. Regarding the scandal between Britney and Qin Feng, it is common knowledge.
Qin Feng has money and can indeed burn it.
But, is this appropriate?
"I just want to know how much it will cost?" Qin Feng said.
"Well, for now, if you save some money and buy some satellite equipment from bankrupt TV stations, it won't cost much. It will only cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, the cost of renting channels will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year," Mike said.
.
In this regard, the price is not too high.
The channel rental fee of hundreds of thousands per year seems very small.
But for many TV stations, they don’t necessarily want to be on the stars.
The reason is simple. If you become a star, you will have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars extra. In these days, the cost is not too much, nor is it too little. But if your investment is not proportional to your income, then it is not appropriate.
Especially after becoming a star, the competition is too fierce.
It is too difficult to compete with the top TV stations in the United States for the market.
Although it is not a star, you still have to compete with others. But your operating costs are small. Just like the previous Agenle TV station, the total annual operating costs were only over 200,000 US dollars.
This cannot be sustained, and if it reaches the stars, it will be even more difficult to operate.
Especially after becoming a star, you need the TV station to create your own branded program. This investment is huge. Once it fails, it will be over.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I just want to go to the stars." Qin Feng ignored Mike's surprise and said calmly.
Mike smiled bitterly.
"I think we can handle the $30,000 to $50,000," Mike said.
Qin Feng was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, this was not expensive.
In fact, this equipment is deliberately launched by the American DISH company (satellite company) at a relatively low price.
This is just like Sony's PS series.
Game consoles don’t make money. They make money through subsequent software.
If you purchase the equipment to go to the star, then you must go to the star. If you don’t go to the star, it will definitely be impossible.
If that's the case, then you won't be able to escape from your subsequent star-uploading service fees.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And it will rise as prices rise.
Therefore, this satellite equipment is not expensive.
After all, it is too expensive, which prevents so many TV stations from trying to get stars.
"Okay, you can help me handle this. If it succeeds, I will continue to hire you as a special reporter for the TV station." Qin Fengxiao said.
This is considered a test.
"Special correspondent?" Mike was stunned.
"Well, that means I will give you a special fund. You can interview whatever you want. As long as the show has a gimmick and can attract people. No matter what you do, it will be fine. I will give you a special fund." Qin Feng tempted.
explain.
Qin Feng took a look at Mike's resume before he came.
Not bad! Mike graduated from Columbia University School of Journalism, which can be said to be one of the top journalism and media departments in the United States. The reason why Mike returned to his hometown is because he wanted to use his ability as a media person to help his hometown, that is,
Agenle County emerges from economic downturn.
After all, Agenle County is too small and its economy is not developed. The people here, how should I put it, are not very wealthy. Therefore, he hopes to rely on his own ability to help the people in the county.
Unfortunately, the economy here is too sluggish and it's remote. So, he has stayed here for three years, but still achieved nothing.
Moreover, the only TV station has closed down.
This made him very confused.
Although he has received acceptance letters from several major TV stations, his annual salary is several times that.
But he still hesitated.
After all, he is a native of Agenle. If he doesn't help his hometown, then who can he rely on?
If he leaves easily, it may be difficult for his hometown to get out of the downturn.
So, he is waiting for the new owner to see if anyone is willing to buy the TV station. If so, he is willing to stay.
Now, he has a new boss.
Originally, he heard that a new boss had arrived and came with a plan in mind.
The previous boss was too conservative and did not dare to invest capital costs in many aspects.
This made Mike very helpless. He constructed several plans that he thought could improve the TV station's economy, but they were all rejected by the former boss.
Therefore, he hopes that the new boss can be more ambitious and bold.
But Qin Feng was too bold.
It’s crazy to prepare to go to the stars without doing anything.
This made him a little scared. He was afraid that the young boss would be too radical and that he would be unable to make ends meet and go bankrupt again.
"Mr. Qin, I can buy the equipment, and I am very happy that you can give me such an opportunity. However, I must remind you that rushing to the star in this way can easily cause huge financial pressure. I hope you will be cautious,
Be prudent and follow the steps. I do have a good program idea. It doesn't need to be on the stars. We just need to produce it. It can be sold to other TV stations and we can make money." Mike said seriously.
Qin Feng smiled and waved his hands.
"We will talk about your program later. You first help the TV station to get stars. I can still afford the money to get stars. The key is to get stars." Qin Feng said, "Then you can help me introduce a local guide. I want to
To wander around here, please recommend a good guide for me, preferably one with an off-road vehicle."
