Chapter 62 Laying out the media (third update, please collect)

If you want to eat meat and join in the carving up of the cake in the post-war world, you must be prepared. This preparation is not just financial preparation, but also preparation in other aspects.

These preparations are not limited to establishing a network in Washington and establishing a good relationship with Truman. There is also a very critical thing - influencing the Americans. In fact, it is very simple to influence Americans. It is nothing more than controlling public opinion. As long as you control public opinion, you can also influence the thinking of Americans.

"Boss, are you planning to acquire a TV station?"

After the company executive meeting, Lin Ande came to Li Yian and said:

"The TV station has no audience at all. I heard that there are only more than [-] TV sets in New York. Wouldn't it be too risky to acquire a TV station?"

As Li Yi'an's secretary, Andre Lin studied law. He graduated four years ago. Affected by the war, he has been stranded in the United States. He originally worked in a small company. When he learned about the recruitment of Carl Company, he immediately resigned. After coming here, he was transferred to Zhenhua Company.

In the previous meeting, when the boss asked Manager Zhu to investigate the TV broadcasting company, he was aware of the boss's thoughts.

Looking at Lin Ande's nervous eyes, Li Yian couldn't help but smile:
  "Ten thousand TVs may not seem like many, but tell me, what kind of families are using these [-] TVs?"

Lin Ande thought for a while and replied. "What kind of family? Well... they should all be wealthy families. After all, a TV worth several hundred dollars a piece is not something ordinary families can afford?"

"Yes, that's right, they are wealthy families. These families are definitely middle-class and above. Many of them are lawyers and doctors, and they are the elites of American society. Don't underestimate these people. It is these people who influence most people's thoughts. Their ideas can even influence politicians, because politicians themselves are their friends, they dine together, they discuss things together, and that’s why I bought the radio and television company.”

Looking at Lin Ande, Li Yian continued.

"In this society, the vast majority of people seem to have their own judgment, but it is difficult for them to be immune to the influence of the outside world. People's opinions make money and waste their lives. In the future, TV stations will definitely serve as our mouthpieces, such as When it comes to news involving us Chinese, we must choose to stand on our side! As for the authenticity of the news, it is not important. What is important is what we report on TV..."

In fact, the reason why the TV station was established was entirely inspired by the Jews. Why did the Jews, who had little influence before the war, become a force influencing American politics after World War II in the [-]s? You must know that before the war, they could not even lobby the United States to accept Jewish refugees, and the United States even directly closed the channel for Jewish immigrants.

It is because the Jews saw the power of the media - the Nazis' attack on the Jews before the war was to first create a bad reputation in public opinion and incite anti-Semitic thoughts among the people through propaganda, and then they began to fully anti-Semitic. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, they thought of themselves Control the media. Faced with the reality that traditional newspapers and broadcasting industries in the United States had long been monopolized by Americans, Jews took advantage of the rise of television to invest in the establishment of many television stations. By the 60s, 60% of the television stations in the United States were controlled by Jews. By the 70s, Jewish capital Controls 70% of TV stations.

What was the influence of the Jews who controlled the television stations?
  Not only public opinion, but also American thinking is also influenced by it. And what are American politicians catering to? Is it Jewish capital? No, it is the media controlled by Jewish capital.

At the same time, Jewish capital took advantage of the impact of television on movies and took advantage of the decline of movie theaters to acquire theater chains at low prices. By the 80s, almost all American theater chains were controlled by Jewish capital, which directly led to the Judaization of Hollywood—— Because movies from movie companies need to go to theaters. As a result, Jewish capital has directly mastered one of the most effective public opinion tools and used it to serve itself. The rise of the Jews is actually closely related to the rise of television.

"Of course, running a newspaper can also achieve this effect, but newspapers are not the future, TV is the real future. Not everyone will read newspapers, but everyone will watch TV at home. After the war, TV sets will definitely If it spreads to everyone’s home, people will watch TV, listen to news, and watch movies in the living room. At that time, as long as it is properly guided, TV stations will become our most advantageous tool to influence public opinion.”

How to start a good TV station?

Li Yi'an didn't know, but no matter what, he had read articles about the rise of CNN and other American TV stations, and he always understood it to some extent. Of course, he knew more about the importance of TV advertising to TV stations.

In the early days of TV programs, if those models were used casually, it would definitely be the best among the best!
  Although there were only a few TV users in the early days, they could not withstand the high-end users. These people had great influence. Moreover, just a few years later, TVs entered one-third of American households and became a necessity for most households. It is a bit difficult to seize this first-mover advantage and grow into a media giant.

Why arrange media in advance?

To put it bluntly, it is to pave the way for the next step. After all, North Borneo must be captured in the future. How to survive the anti-colonial wave not only requires the relationship of the president, but also the support of the people. Only In this way, he can steadily become the emperor of North Borneo.

However, if you want to stabilize the Turkish emperor, the most important thing is force. Without force, how can you stand firm in the wave of independence?

Arming is important!
  The barrel of a gun is very important.

But fortunately, the company's force has now set up a shelf. In the past two months, Ding En has been recruiting security personnel everywhere. According to Li Yian's requirements, they must be overseas Chinese with a clean family background and cannot be gang members. Such people... are really hard to find. After all, most overseas Chinese young people have already joined the army, and a considerable number of them have returned to China to help in the war.

It is not easy to recruit more than a hundred people. After all, out of ten Chinese in the United States, almost two have become soldiers. They are not only fighting for the United States, but more for China.

Through the window, looking at the security guards training in the company compound, Li Yian said to himself

"We still need to pay close attention to the matter of gun barrels..."
