Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 809 Toughness in Program Sales
When the Yale Democrats and the Yale Republicans, the two big-mouthed clubs, couldn't quarrel over the same issue, the whole of Yale was quiet.
Only the unwilling "Riot" published an article advocating itself, saying something like "Look! Carter's arrival directly broke the routine that would happen on campus in the past." How accurate were their predictions as early as Carter's freshman year? so on.
80s, from a historical point of view, this is a magnificent and turbulent era!
Whether it is China's reform and opening up, the expansion of Japan's bubble, or the gradual weakening of the big brother in the Far East, they are all happening; in terms of technology, innovation is also a big leap in a few years
In this era, quietness is not the mainstream!

At the same time as the Yale campus was uncharacteristically quiet, Carter received a call from Washington.
"The 'Negotiation Task Force on Yen-U.S. Exchange Rate Issues' has been confirmed to be established! Has your program over there been sold? Now I am not the only one who is following you. Mr. James Baker is also looking forward to appearing on TV as soon as possible. See TED on the Internet!"

"I'm currently negotiating with CBS and I'm not happy with the price they're offering! They want exclusivity and they're only willing to pay us $10 per episode!"

Under normal circumstances, Carter would be satisfied with this price.

After all, TED is a package price. A program often includes a 10-minute talk show; a 15-minute speech; and an additional 45 minutes, which is the content of a class.

A one-and-a-half-hour show can sell for $10.Almost means that every week, TED can earn $10 through the program.After removing the 4 share for the school, the council can still get [-].

Of the $[-], $[-] came from the talk show.Of course, this is obviously Carter's tricks.
30.00% of the [-] US dollars will be taken out as the creator's share, which is [-] US dollars.Fifty-four thousand dollars remained, and a council of one hundred people.
Even if it is evenly distributed, each person can share a small amount of 500 US dollars per week, and the income is not unreasonable!
With 500 a week, that's $2000 a month!Twenty-four thousand dollars a year!
This is already higher than their income when they go out to work!It is difficult for the vast majority of Yale graduates to get such a salary when they first got a job!
When the time comes, will they still not cast their eyes on themselves?I ask them to help promote PTU loans, and then give them some commission.
But... this is not a normal situation!I can't accept the exclusive! !
"How much are they willing to pay if it is not exclusive?"

Bush, who was far away at the Naval Observatory in Washington, frowned.
"$8000!"

Carter smirked.
I won't talk about what will happen in the future, but the first episode of TED will inevitably show the video of Bush's speech at Yale University!
This episode is a must! !

For me, this is a gimmick to attract traffic and build fame!

For Bush and others, this is a purely political need!
In the mid-term elections, he was beaten by the Democratic Party and lost the Senate again.On the Republican side, the goal of the next stage can only be to seek the re-election of Brother Genzi!
Is there any better material than shaping the image of Genzige for the country and the people through the US-Japan trade issue? !
Blow, it must be blown!
But how to blow it, this is a technical job!

If the Republican media is used to post these things, first of all, it is easy to be sniped by the Democratic media, and people are staring at it!In addition, for neutral voters or supporters of the Democratic Party, they will instinctively be vigilant when they see the contents of this media report.
After careful consideration by the White House chief of staff, Mr. James Baker, the final publicity effect may not be as good as Carter's TED!

A brand-new program is not easy to arouse the vigilance of hostile forces; a program in the name of educational public welfare is more likely to attract the favor of neutrals; a program that focuses on academic issues on the surface is more likely to subtly influence people's thinking direction.
People are generally more willing to believe the results of their own thinking!
"8000 dollars here on PBS, I can find a way to pay you [-] to [-] dollars. As for other TV stations"

"My goal is to sell at least $6 for each episode!"

Carter interrupted Bush's speech
6 per issue, [-] will be distributed to Yale, and the council will have [-] left.Subtracting the creator's share of [-], the council can finally leave [-] US dollars.

On average, there is still about 270 US dollars per head
There is not as much income as 1 per issue.But the income of about one thousand dollars per month is more than twelve thousand dollars a year.Basically the same as working outside
From a part-time job perspective, this income is absolutely considerable!This is far more than the benefits of general campus part-time jobs!
Carter's goal has never been to do charity!
I didn't do these things purely to help my classmates. Without enough financial incentives, how could Carter guarantee that they would be willing to help him sell the PTU loan that they hated and disgusted in their traditional concepts?How can I ensure that they can really help me to promote loans with my heart? !

"Sixty thousand dollars is my bottom line! Mr. Bush, you should know that the four major TV networks basically cover all the TV stations in the United States. Non-exclusive programs generally don't sell for what price. CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. Three companies. I'll try to negotiate the price, but PBS here"

Carter's voice paused:

"I don't ask you to give me a high price, but I hope to get a promise. That is, after I have negotiated the remaining three companies, the distance from [-] US dollars, how much is the difference, how much will PBS make up for me! If I am lucky, I can Talk about a price of [-] for a family, then PBS, I am willing to sell it for only [-]!"

"This is almost impossible! Carter, you and I are both businessmen, and you are also a very smart kid. You should know that they compete with each other and have needs."

"Some things, even if you know you can't do it, you still need to do it. If you don't hit the south wall, you don't give up, but I feel that I'm a person who hit the south wall and still wants to see if I can break the south wall!"

In the second half of the sentence, Carter switched to Chinese.Carter remembered that Lao Bu had learned Chinese, and his level may not be high, but generally speaking, he should be able to understand it without any problem.

Even if you don't understand the meaning of this common saying, Americans who like metaphors the most must understand their own metaphors.

Carter is willing to use his own resources to do something for the Republican Party, which can be regarded as submitting a vote!

However, the high income from selling exclusives has been sacrificed for this, and Carter must hold on to the bottom line!

To be honest, Carter didn't care whether the show made money or not.Even if he earns a little less, but the members of the council can be satisfied, and then can help himself to promote small loans with heart, Carter is satisfied.

Therefore, Carter can accept [-] to [-], but no matter how low it is, no!
The bottom line of this thing, the breakthrough is always 0 times and countless times!
If this time, for the benefit of the Republican Party, it breaks through the bottom line of its own interests.God knows how much he will suffer in the future!

At this time when the bond between each other is not deep, he should be tougher, and Carter believes that it is difficult for Lao Bu to say anything.At this time, if people like the Republican Party dare to force themselves, the worst thing is to jump to the Democratic Party!

Anyway, in the United States, changing party membership is as easy as drinking water and eating.
