Chapter 179： : Chairman of the Actors Guild

Chapter 181 Chairman of the Actors Guild

The noon news of ABC TV station, in addition to broadcasting domestic and international news, also reported a relatively interesting news.

The Estée Lauder cosmetics store, because there are too many customers, it is too congested. Yesterday too many people placed orders on “TV shopping”. Today, they went to the counter to buy goods, and the clerk was very busy.

TV station specially recorded a half-minute video.

Women hold the numbers in their hands, and after checking them at the counter, they can get their favorite perfumes, lipsticks, and makeup kits at the TV shopping prices. After they get them, the women all smile.

"have you bought it?"

The news male host asked the female host.

The hostess smiled softly, "Hehe, I really bought it. How can I not buy it at such a favorable price."

"What kind of goods are on sale for this afternoon's live broadcast, do you have any internal information?"

"No, I am looking forward to it too."

People who originally had some doubts about TV shopping, saw that people did buy cheap goods through TV shopping, and many people were moved by it.

Now many people are eager to know what to sell in the afternoon. If it is cheaper, try TV shopping by yourself.

The noon news ends and the TV shopping begins.

"Dear viewers, today's'TV shopping' started, our rules remain unchanged, we still call to order, but today there is a rather regrettable news, due to transportation reasons, this product can only be purchased in Los Angeles and San Francisco. ."

"Okay, today we brought you a good thing, please see..." the host said as he opened the velvet cover, revealing a beautiful small motorcycle inside.

"The name of this little motorcycle is'Little Hornet', and it has three colors of red, yellow and green. You can tell the operator directly which color you like."

The hostess next to asked: "The price of this kind of small motorcycle on the market is generally around US$120 to US$150. I don’t know how much discount can this small motorcycle offer today?"

The male host smiled and said loudly to the camera: "I am uncertain about today's price, it is up to the customer."

"Ah, how do customers price?" the hostess asked in surprise.

"The original price of this car was US$118, and our TV shopping offered a profit. The price was US$98, which is US$20 cheaper than the original price."

"But it’s not over yet, why is it customer pricing, because the boss has given a tiered pricing rule. If the quantity sold today exceeds 500, the price per car will drop to 88 yuan."

"If the quantity sold today exceeds 1,000, the price will drop to 78 yuan."

The hostess understood, "Then if you sell more, will there be more discounts."

The male host shook his head.

"It's a lot to be able to sell 1,000 cars."

"Then if you can really sell more?" the hostess asked nonchalantly.

The male host gritted his teeth.

"If you sell 2000 cars, it will be reduced to 68 yuan."

"What if it sells 3000 units?" The hostess asked again.

"Then give a shocking price of 58 yuan for a car."

"Wow, this is equivalent to half the price, but it is not enough for the cost." Another hostess was surprised.

The male host said loudly to the camera, "Okay, the order will start right away. Just make a phone call and you can book, start now!"

followed the host with a roar.

The camera turned to the wiring room, and the wiring ladies began to get busy.

ten minutes later,

Director broadcast data, 80 people have ordered, in 20 minutes, 200 people have ordered, half an hour later, 300 people have ordered, and an hour later, 500 people have ordered.

The host shouted: "Well, now the price has dropped to 88 dollars."

"See if we can hit $78 today."

When I was two children, the data from the director said that 1,000 cars had been sold, and the three hosts cheered excitedly.

"The price is now $78 for a car."

In three hours, the number reached two thousand.

Four hours later, the number reached 2500.

The number growth is obviously a bit weak.

This is a female anchor who said, “I thought of one thing, if someone deliberately ordered two cars, or ordered not to buy, when the number reaches 3,000, the price will also be 58 US dollars.”

The male host was startled and covered the female host’s mouth.

"Drag her down, hurry up, she's a traitor to the TV station." There was a lot of excitement in the recording room.

The audience seemed to have been reminded, and many people called again, and the order quantity rushed to 3000 after a short while.

The male host was frustrated.

"I really didn't expect that 3000 vehicles were actually ordered for 58 US dollars. This is the cost price. The company may have to take the freight. I set the price too low. What should I do? Will the boss fire me."

When the audience saw the male host’s expression, they were more excited and more people called. In fact, it was like a game, and people happily participated in it.

Wait until today’s TV shopping is over, the host announced that there are 3,656 telephone orders in total, so according to the agreement, the price of each is only 58 US dollars.

People who buy motorcycles feel that they have been victorious, they have defeated the evil capitalists, and have sacked the capitalists’ wool.

Hadi was reported that the actual order quantity is about 2500. If it is sold at $58 per unit, many people say that this price is indeed a cost price. They do not know that Hardy purchased the goods at $38 per unit.

Each unit earns US$20, so today’s profit is US$50,000.

Andy finds Hardy and reports to him about the stock market.

"Boss, today's "Playboy" magazine stock price has soared, from 24.5 to 31.2 US dollars, your assets have increased by a large amount."

"I have a foreboding." Hardy smiled.

"The two stocks I mentioned in the program, the construction stock and the people's livelihood stock, have also risen a lot today, generally increasing by more than 3%."

"The military industry stocks and the average demand stocks I mentioned, because I didn't mention which stocks are specific, so today the entire military industry stocks and military supply stocks have fallen."

Hadi nodded.

"It seems that our prediction is correct. This financial stock analysis program has a significant impact on the stock market. Andy, go ahead."

"I'll take care of the boss." Andy said.

As soon as Andy left, Hardy received a call from MGM boss Meyer.

"Hadi, the movie "The Killer Is Not So Cold" saw a surge in attendance today. Yesterday’s attendance rate was only 40%, and today it soared to 80%. I watched the interview show yesterday and it seems to have played an excellent role in the movie. The stimulating effect of this has brought more people into the cinema." Meyer said.

"I have a hunch, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." Hardy smiled.

"Hadi, I watched the ABC program yesterday from start to finish. I have to say that I did a very good job. I heard that NBC and CBS both felt the pressure. They met overnight to study countermeasures. It is estimated that they will contain you together." Meyer said.

"This is normal. There is competition to make progress, but if you want to catch up with me, I am afraid they are still a bit difficult. I still have a lot of killers that I don't use." Hardy said confidently.

Meyer paused.

"Hadi, I want to buy ABC shares. How about 30% 10 million? I can guarantee your absolute control over the TV station." Meyer said.

Hadi smiled.

"Mr. Meyer, you know that before you, Paramount and Warner Bros. called me and wanted to buy ABC shares."

Hardy did not say the specific content of the call, but this has already caused a lot of pressure on Meyer.

Bada has always been a competitor, and he doesn’t want to be surpassed by other film companies. Although Hardy’s HD film industry had done a good job before, Meyer knew the strength of HD. In fact, HD film industry is still far from MGM. .

He is not worried about anything.

But now Hardy has made ABC, and his strength in the entertainment industry has suddenly caught up with MGM. If Hardy is wooed by other film companies, it will definitely have a very big impact on MGM.

"Then what do you think?" Meyer asked.

"It is not impossible for MGM to acquire ABC shares, but there are several conditions." Hardy said.

"What do you think."

"30% of the shares is too much. I can sell at most 20%. As for the price, I said before, two hundred and twenty million. As you know, Mr. Meyer, the other two TV stations have no profitability, and I The annual profitability of ABC can reach more than 10 million."

"Since we have formed a cooperative relationship, I hope that MGM will open up the film library to ABC. You can keep the top ones and continue to make money. Others will be played on ABC, including cats and mice. Of course, use MGM films ABC. Will pay for it."

"Third, MGM has always been the company with the strongest production capacity in Hollywood. I hope MGM will help ABC produce programs, including TV series, variety shows, cartoons, etc."

"Fourth, I heard that Mr. Meyer has 11% of the Los Angeles Times shares, and I hope to acquire these shares."

Hadi wants to build his own media empire. Newspapers are an important part of it. The Los Angeles Times is one of the three major newspapers in the United States. Its influence and status are second only to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

If Hardy gets the shares of the Los Angeles Times, he can use his shareholder status to promote the alliance between the Times and ABC, and ABC’s news will have a stable source.

"Fifth, I heard that Batasa Kuko, the chairman of the Screen Actors Union, will expire in November this year. I want to participate in the competition for the chairman of the Screen Actors Union I hope Mr. Mayer will support me."

Listening to Hardy’s terms, Meyer took a deep breath and said angrily: "Hadi, the price you are driving is too high."

Meyer was really angry.

Because he felt that Hardy's request was a bit excessive.

The actors’ union is a huge organization. Film and television actors, journalists, radio celebrities, recording artists, singers, voice actors and other media professionals will all register with the actors’ union. The chairman of the union has no small rights.

The chairman of the Screen Actors Guild, Batasa Kukko, was trained by Meyer alone. He is Meyer’s **** subordinate. Hardy wants to be the chairman of the Actors Guild, which is equivalent to grabbing power from Meyer.

Meyer has a sense of anger that the old lion is challenged by the young lion.

If it's someone else, Meyer will refuse without hesitation, and then launch a retaliatory action. Even if it is a company like Universal and Warner, he can make the other party suffer a lot, and then obediently retract the tentacles.

But facing Hardy.

Meyer found that she was powerless and even a little scared.
