Chapter 208 is up to you
Wolf didn't find time in the afternoon to call Tommy back because he was too busy to attend to this trivial matter.
Agence France-Presse, EFE, ANSA, Canadian News Agency, European News Agency, Deutsche Presse, Reuters, Jiji, etc., the news agencies of these overseas countries and regions have discovered that VOX has the first-hand experience of this conflict. After receiving the information, I immediately called the VOX Washington headquarters and subscribed to VOX in the name of the enterprise.
It's not that VOX doesn't need to do anything after receiving the money, just tell the other party to watch its own news channel, but it needs to help prepare some materials that meet the other party's requirements as much as possible according to the perspective proposed by the other party, for example, all news agencies will I specifically pointed it out, hoping to get some exclusive photos or exclusive information that other news agencies do not have.
The subscription contract also needs to be drawn up individually according to the differences of each news agency.
Some news agencies would like to have a serious exchange with the president about the cooperation method. In short, it seems that Wolf needs to deal with everything, which makes him feel that he has no skills at all.
Wolf thinks it's good to feel that he has no skills because he has to deal with countless heads of large news agencies that he had no chance to contact before.
He was busy until late at night, and he finally found time to appease his hungry stomach. He bought two burgers at a fast food restaurant not far away, and then sat on a bench outside the gate of VOX headquarters, putting his briefcase beside him. There was an empty seat, and I ate it with big mouthfuls.
"The taste of happiness and contentment, right?" A voice sounded from not far away, attracting Wolfe's attention. He looked up and saw Earl Rush, CEO of BT Television Network, smiling from the VOX headquarters. Go out the door.
Wolf swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with some surprise: "Earl? Why did you appear here?"
"I came to Washington to attend a TV industry conference. After the dinner, I wanted to congratulate you, but... considering that you should be very busy today, I didn't bother you. I have been sitting in the front office until now. Let me say one more thing. VOX's coffee is better than BT's. The coffee tastes better." Earl came over with a cigarette in his mouth, and sat down next to Wolfe:
“When you are hungry, it feels good to fill your mouth with food.”
Wolf picked up the hamburger box next to it, took out another hamburger from it and handed it to Earl: "I just bought an extra one."
Ear threw away the cigarette **** and took the hamburger. The two middle-aged men sat on the bench in the middle of the night, silent, biting into the hamburger. They had the same dark skin and devoured the same.
Knowing that the hamburgers were all eaten, Earl wiped his fingers with a paper towel and exhaled comfortably: "I haven't congratulated you yet, although it is a meeting of the free TV network industry, but there are many people at the dinner party who are not interested in discussing the free TV network industry. The topic, but brought up VOX a few times, and everyone in the industry knows that you may increase at least 10 million subscribers this time."
"Frankly speaking, when I went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water before I left the company, I couldn't help but thank Gaddafi silently. No one would have thought that after seeing the US aircraft carrier fleet, he would dare to launch two fighter jets to intercept it. We are here The reporter on the Kennedy said that the officers on the fleet felt unexpected.” Wolfe wiped the corners of his mouth, then carefully threw the tissue back into the packing box, and carefully threw the packing box and the paper bag into the trash can. Sit back with a smile:
"The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters...Even though VOX was founded by me, I have never imagined that one day the world's three major news agencies will become our corporate subscribers, and they will use the news we provide Material, like a dream, TV has been invented for so long, and there has never been a news agency that subscribes to a TV channel to get news."
Ear looked into the distance with a smile on his face: "That means you are a genius."
"No, Tommy is a genius. BT TV network and VOX TV network are all his ideas. In fact, when he first hoped that VOX would sprinkle reporters on the world map like dandelions, I objected. After all, the cost of personnel is too high. Gao, I quarreled with him twice because of this, but now it seems that he is right, without his persistence, there would be no chance of our reporter on board the Kennedy.” Wolfe said happily:
"By the way, do me a favor, Earl."
"FOX?" Earl seemed to guess what Wolfe wanted to say.
Wolf nodded: "That's right, mocking FOX fiercely, **** it, humiliating our hosts and reporters every day on its own show, you have to help me out."
"Of course, I guarantee that tomorrow's "Black News Today" will have a sharp and sharp counterattack, but...Wolf...I'm not just here to eat your hamburger, but to congratulate you." Earl put his hands on On Wolfe's shoulders:
"I got a message."
"What news?" Wolfe turned his face to look at Earl: "The industry terms of your free TV network have no effect on the cable network."
"Tommy has found a group of people to replace you." The smile on Earl's face gradually faded, and he stared at Wolfe sharply: "VOX is different from BT, it is impossible for him to put such a world-wide He's a member of the SSD fraternity, he's a white supremacist."
Wolf stared at Earl for a few seconds, and then came back to his senses: "Tommy called in the afternoon and said that I would call him back after I was busy, so that I was ready to suffocate my dream again."
"I think you should learn to refuse. When VOX became famous overnight, you refused him. He had no reason to refute him. There is no reason for the marshal to resign immediately after the war is won." Earl took out the cigarette case from his suit pocket , shook out a cigarette and held it in his mouth:
"He's been using you, BT Network, you've helped him with the tedious pre-production, and then where have you gone? Is BT Network relevant to you now? VOX, you go lease satellite channels, build teams, recruit reporters, all You did the hard work, and now, the dawn is coming, you're going to be replaced again, he was never a friend of black people, he was a **** white slave owner who knew how to use **** efficiently."
Wolf looked at Earl in shock: "If Tommy is a white activist, why do you still work for him?"
"Me and him use each other, my **** bro, he uses me to sit there like a glib statue, tell everybody hey, the president of this network is a nigger, we're black from top to bottom, all Niggas, you must understand that the only TV network in the United States is a family with you!" Earl lit a cigarette, opened his arms and said with an exaggerated smile:
"But in fact, he uses the TV network to influence the niggas' minds and decide who they vote for, understand? Me too, I can use BT to get more black support and increase my influence, I Now I have joined the New World Foundation and established the Rainbow Organization. Because of the existence of the BT TV network, my status in the California Democratic Party has been continuously improved. Everyone greets me proactively, because I can decide whether to let the **** vote. Vote for them."
"Why did you tell me this?" Wolff still looked directly at Earl with doubts, and asked.
Earle sighed: "VOX, what black people need is not BT, but VOX, brother, we should hold it in our own hands, not in the hands of a white trash who discriminates against black people."
"So, do you think that if I reject Tommy's decision to let me leave VOX to do other jobs, I can continue to sit securely as the president and CEO of VOX?" Wolff looked at Er with an idiot's eyes you:
"Tommy is the boss of VOX and the chairman of the board of directors. I am just a senior worker with a small share."
"If you reject Tommy, he can only push you to leave through the board of directors. At that time, I can cooperate with you and find opportunities to expose his past discrimination against black people, and even confirm that BT's programs are Tommy's decision. The anger of the black viewers is definitely enough to force him to forcefully sell BT TV Network to real black entrepreneurs, so that it truly belongs to black people, and if it works well, it is not impossible for VOX to be forced to sell.” Earl exhaled heavily Tone:
"This is our best chance, Wolf, if you leave VOX, it will be filled with a lot of white executives that Tommy brought from Wall Street in New York, and the **** will never have a chance to fight this face Opportunity to hold the tool of speech of the world in your hands, but now you have the opportunity to give it a go, and the price you pay is only to give up your friendship with Tommy that liar, he is just using you, you can't leave VOX, if Tommy pushes, you I can make VOX mess up, even if it fails, I can hand over BT to you, I can, Wolfe."
After listening to Earl's words, Wolf crossed his hands on his knees, looked at the night sky, and said after a long silence: "Earl, for me, a hamburger is enough to fill my stomach."
After speaking, he picked up his briefcase, stood up, and walked along the street into the distance.
"You are really willing to be used again and again by a white man! Do you know what VOX means?" Earl asked Wolfe's back in a voice containing anger and unwillingness.
Wolf stopped and said without looking back: "I won't tell Tommy that you came to congratulate me, and if you haven't eaten enough, the fast food restaurant is there, good night, Earl, I'm going back to accompany you Wife, lest she always look for opportunities to participate in "Wife Swap Game" on BT TV."
…
The wife came over in her nightgown, and thoughtfully handed over a glass of red wine to help sleep, her eyes showed her admiration for her husband: "When I called VOX to ask how long you will be working overtime, your secretary said, it will be very late for you to work overtime." May go home, because today is a big moment for Wolfe and VOX to make a name for themselves in the world."
"Indeed, VOX has received corporate subscriptions from the Associated Press, Reuters, and AFP, which is enough for me to be listed as the second most important moment in my life in the memoir I will write in the future." Wolfe took over Red wine, then kissed his wife's lips and said with a smile:
"The number one is our wedding."
"Your vigilance is getting higher and higher, Wolfe. You don't even need me to ask, you know to give me the answer I want right away." The wife smiled softly.
"Tommy said that you should always be more careful with your wife or girlfriend than with your enemies." Wolfe said while drinking red wine, "I always thought this sentence was wrong before, but then I found it very reasonable .”
The wife rolled her eyes to analyze this sentence, and said in disapproval: "It doesn't make sense at all, okay? Always be on guard against your girlfriend or wife like you are guarding against an enemy? How bad a husband would be to do that."
"Because a man doesn't know which sentence to say wrong, his wife can become a more terrifying existence than the enemy, so he can only prevent problems before they happen." Wolff laughed.
"I think he's hurting you, Wolfe." His wife said with a smile on her face, staring at Wolfe.
Wolf asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"Because he doesn't have a wife, he doesn't worry about his wife teaching him, but you are different. I thought you would come back late today and wanted to let you go, but now, come back to the bedroom with me, and I want to teach you some special lessons, now! "The wife leaned against the door frame of the bedroom, tilted her head inside, and said in a serious tone.
"I want to make a phone call, can you teach me a lesson after the call, honey?" Wolfe drank the red wine in the glass, then picked up his mobile phone and shook it to his wife: "At least let me First scold Tommy for framing me."
His wife gave him a wink, and then went back to the bedroom. Wolf went to the balcony and sat down, looking at the lights in the distance and sat quietly for a few minutes before taking out the phone and dialing Tommy's number. Mi is asleep, but normally, he will wait for his call back.
"I guess you just came home?" The phone was connected, and Tommy's voice sounded: "You will exhaust yourself like this, Wolfe, there is no need to do everything yourself, such as drafting a contract, let the legal department handle it , just take a look."
"The secretary said you called in the afternoon, wanting to make me suffocate my dream again." Wolfe looked at the night in Washington, smiled and said:
"Can I understand that when I part with VOX, please, I can't enjoy the fruits of victory once?"
Tommy also laughed on the other side of the phone: "Basically, you retain your position on the VOX board of directors, but you have to be prepared to hand over other tasks, because there are more important tasks waiting for you."
"The boss fired the workers with your tone at the moment." Wolfe said with a wry smile.
Tommy said seriously: "I'm not the kind of self-willed capitalist who would throw his subordinates out at every turn. I'm not that kind of person, so I ask you not to think of yourself as being forced to leave VOX by me, but that I'm beside you. I can’t do this without you. You helped me prepare for BT and VOX. I’m afraid that in the whole of America, no one can compare with you in terms of preparatory work experience. Wolf, I’m really inviting You, accompany me into the next battlefield, which is more important to me than VOX."
"I'm listening." Wolf heard that Tommy didn't seem to be joking, so he also suppressed his smile and said.
The next second, he heard Tommy say on the phone: "Wolf, I'm going to start another news TV network."
Even though Wolfe had thought that Tommy would find a reason to perfuse himself, he didn’t expect that the reason this guy would find was so random:
"How high are you, Tommy, you already have BT TV network, you have VOX news network, and now you tell me, you are going to start a new news TV network? And let the new news network fight VOX, If you like this kind of gimmick, you might as well hire me and Earl to fight in the octagonal cage, which will save you a lot of unnecessary expenses."
"This news network is dedicated to my black friend Wolfe Tucker, that fool is from the Financial Channel." Tommy ignored the sarcasm and anger in Wolfe's words, and said seriously: "I want to Help you find the best position, Wolfe, don't even think about having another **** job in your life, this news network, is the only career you have for the rest of your life."
Wolf said with a lack of interest: "There is no shortage of financial and commercial channels in the United States, Tommy."
He thought that Tommy would use money to support him and start a financial and commercial channel. This kind of commercial channel is everywhere. Several major TV networks have their own financial channels. He was the vice president of the financial and commercial channel before.
Tommy said: "But the world lacks a financial news network like VOX. Imagine if I am an ordinary American and want to know the changes in the stock market in London, how much trouble will it be? I need to call those brokerage firms on Wall Street in New York, etc. The stockbroker there called the London branch for me, and then the stock list was faxed back to Wall Street in New York, and my broker read it to me according to that fax."
"I think the emergence of satellite TV has given us a simpler method. For example, it is only a simple action of turning on the TV, so that people who care about the world's financial markets can keep abreast of the latest news of Dow Jones and Nasdaq. The changes in financial data from all over the world are scrolling forever below, London, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, New Delhi, Paris... 24 hours a day, when the eastern hemisphere falls asleep, we pay attention to the western hemisphere with money. When the western hemisphere falls asleep, the financial market in the eastern hemisphere It's open again and welcomes us, our channel, like money in this world, never sleeps."
Wolf was stunned.
"When it works, those economic experts who were dismissive of your invitation to the program back then will kneel down and beg you to give him a chance to be on the TV station. Many economists arrange to come to our channel to brag about their own stocks, fooling stockholders to pay out, well-known economists all over the world will become friends with you, and well-known brokerage journalists all over the world are willing to work for you, your wife will always Don't worry about Wall Street brokerages daring to sell her junk stocks, because if they do, you can keep them from appearing on our channel for a year, and I promise, this time, the new financial news network, you have 20% of the shares, you are worth so much, I have never been stingy with my friends."
Wolf continued to be dumbfounded.
"That's not enough to suffocate you, again?" Tommy asked with a smile: "If you don't think this financial news network is interested, I'll let the person who is going to take over your VOX job take care of it. He actually prefers to organize it himself..."
"You succeeded in convincing me, Tommy, you are like a pimp who can always lure women into a fire pit!" Wolf exhaled heavily, brought himself back to his senses, and then cursed with a smile:
"The only question, am I moving again? I haven't been in DC for a year."
Tommy said with a smile: "I will personally bear your moving expenses, Wolfe, but this time you will be faster."
"Why?" Wolfe asked.
Tommy said: "Because I heard from the Wall Street brokerage firm that took care of my assets that this guy named Mike Bloomberg was going to start a Bloomberg Financial News TV network. I mean, if you come out Competing with him, with your experience of successfully organizing two large TV networks, Wall Street is more optimistic about a professional with successful experience like you than a guy who came from the computer industry, and you can't lose, because I It's up to you to beat FOX."
"If I didn't disappoint you before, I believe it won't this time." Wolfe said lightly: "That's it, Tommy, good night, I'm going to sleep, by the way, thank you for providing me made an excuse."
"What excuse?" Tommy asked curiously.
Wolf smiled: "I will go back to the bedroom and tell my wife that Tommy kicked me out of VOX. I am heartbroken at the moment, and I can't get up the club. She should not force me anymore."
"I'll call your landline right now and explain to your wife what's going on. You're welcome. Good night, Wolfe." Tommy hung up the phone immediately.
Before Wolfe got up, the landline at his residence rang.
Wife thought Wolfe was still on the phone with Tommy, walked out of the bedroom under Wolfe's desperate gaze, and picked up the landline with a smile.
"F*ckYou! Tommy!" Wolfe, a black gentleman who has always been gentle and polite, finally couldn't help but swear.
