Spy Shadow

After watching Hart leave, Chloe immediately got up and returned to the room.

She understands that her mission to Hawaii has been completed, Loach leaves with satisfaction, and Hart will have his wonderful romance next, but there is venom behind the romance.

Beautiful women are the best at lying. What the team leader said is true.

Chloe is doing great.

Two days later, Chloe returned to San Francisco, packed her bags, and prepared to take a post in Washington.

The salary of the new job is not high, far behind the original one, which is in line with her current status and abilities, but the salary is secretly not low.

The money given to her secretly is to pay off the debt first, and if she completes the task well, the money will be given to her later.

Chloe had no choice but to obey.

In early March, Chloe arrived in Washington and officially joined the new company.

In an office far away, Hart was carefully looking at the survey results in front of him.

He returned to Washington one day earlier than Chloe. While chatting that day, he noticed that something had happened to Chloe and her mood was very low. No wonder so many people who tried to chat up her were scolded away by her.

He was able to talk to her, firstly because he had known her for a long time, and secondly because he was very smart and didn't say anything about Meng Lang, just chatting and saying hello as an acquaintance.

In this case, Chloe really had no reason to get angry.

Hart was satisfied with his performance and immediately began investigating Chloe's situation upon his return.

You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.

Something really happened to Chloe, and it was something big. She was targeted by her boss and lost her job. Everything she said at the time was true. Hart sent his henchmen to San Francisco and New York. Chloe Yi has been having a really bad time recently.

The most important point is that she owed her uncle a lot of money in order to pay off the debt, so she found a new job.

The new job pays only one-tenth of her previous salary.

Chloe no longer has a high-paying job.

This is what excites Hart the most. Chloe is still so rich, and he may not dare to join in. After all, rich women will make him instinctively feel inferior. His current salary is much better than before, and he has a lot of money. A chance to make extra money, but nothing compared to Chloe before.

Now, he is much better than Chloe.

The change in income allowed him to regain his confidence as a man.

He even fantasized about his chance to kiss Fangze.

Chu Lingyun's grasp of people's hearts is indeed very strong. Even abroad, he still eats Hart's psychology to death. Facing the woman he first liked, Hart can't stand such temptation, even if he is already an agent.

Agents are men too.

If Chloe had another identity, he might not dare to think so much. Chloe has always been a silly and sweet image, but Chu Lingyun's identity made him a little worried.

Chu Lingyun is Chinese, but he is a capitalist who came to the United States very early.

He has excellent relationships with senior management.

Chu Lingyun is also a Chinese agent. It is said that he is a very good agent, ranked first.

Hart scoffed.

In a place like China, what can the strongest agents do? They are no match for their average agents.

And he is the most powerful agent of the most powerful country in the world.

In terms of professional ability, Chu Lingyun was far inferior to him.

This is Hart's confidence. Proud people are confident.

Chu Lingyun had a somewhat high opinion of Hart, and Hart's fear of Chu Lingyun was purely because of his money and his relationship with Kate's family.

He didn't care much about his previous identity as an agent.

After learning about the situation, Hart was very happy, wrote down the address of Chloe's new job, and began to plan how to meet Chloe again, as well as his job, without telling Chloe the truth.

He has appeared in newspapers many times, but there are no photos of him.

After all, he is an agent and needs to hide.

There was only his name in the newspaper, and it was only the word Hart. There were many people using these two words as names, and Chloe wouldn't think it was him.

Making a false identity is easy for him. This time he wants to create a successful identity so that Chloe can look at him differently.

Try to win her heart.

So what if you get married? Are there not many people who get married these days who have other people outside?

Hart was in the intelligence department and he had seen a lot.

Besides, he won't let Chloe know his married status, and his wife will also hide it.

He just wants to fulfill a past wish, this is not a betrayal.

Hart was not in a hurry and slowly formulated his plan. Chloe had just arrived, so it would not be a good thing to meet immediately now. We would talk about it later.

If she doesn't do well in her new job, if she comes out to comfort or even help her, her dream will probably come true.

On March 5, a reinforced battalion of soldiers set off for Hainan Island and forcibly landed on Baimajing Beach on the afternoon of the 6th.

Although the main force is concentrated in Taiwan, there are not many garrison troops stranded in Hainan by the Kuomintang. The total number of various armies is almost 100,000, and the commander-in-chief is General Xue.

There were only about 800 soldiers who landed on the island in the first batch. You can imagine the pressure they were under.

This mission can be said to be very dangerous, but none of the soldiers who landed on the island refused, and no one was afraid. They regarded death as if they were going home, so they drove an artificial wooden sailboat and bravely advanced to the island.

After a fierce battle, they defeated two companies of defenders and successfully landed on the island with the support of local comrades.

In this battle, most of our ships were destroyed by the defenders, and dozens of soldiers died. The sacrifice of their comrades did not frighten them, and the battle became more ferocious.

They successfully reunited with local comrades and set foot on the land of Hainan.

On the same day, the soldiers landed on Weizhou Island, completely annihilated the Kuomintang defenders on the island, and seized more than 300 ships of various types. The liberation of Hainan began.

The organization tells the Fruit Party with facts that there is nothing they cannot do.

We overcome difficulties despite simple conditions. As long as we have strong faith, no one can stop us from moving forward.

On the 10th and 11th, our soldiers landed on the island again, and the countdown to the Hainan Fruit Party has begun.

Chu Yuan was standing in front of Chu Lingyun, reporting this happy incident.

They were all sent by Zheng Guangtao. The inspection office has manpower deployed in Hainan, and the news in Hainan cannot be hidden from them. Zheng Guangtao will now send reports to inquire about every detail, and at the same time, he will vaguely ask Chu Lingyun when he will return.

The Fruit Party blocked news from Hainan.

However, high-level officials know that many people are panicking at this time. They know very well that once the Red Party lands on the island, there is no possibility of Hainan holding on.

Even if General Xue is there.

For more than three years, almost all the Red Party officers have lost their confidence. In their hearts, they even feel that the Red Party is invincible, and they are even more desperate than when they faced the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War.

It is obvious that the opponent's weapons and equipment are not as good as theirs, and their numbers are not as good as theirs, but when fighting, the opponent is like a heavenly soldier, all of them are not afraid of death, and they will not take a step back even if they fight to the last person.

Coupled with the opponent's excellent tactics, they even took their failure for granted.

Including the old man himself, he was also hit hard.

After losing consecutive battles, he had a psychological shadow after being defeated. Under this situation, he was very afraid that the Red Party would appear in Taiwan.

At this time, Chu Lingyun's role was highlighted again, and the old man regretted punishing Ni Loach.

The eldest son is very good at seizing the opportunity to speak ill of Qi Limin again. Unfortunately, the old man's indecisive temper has relapsed. He still trusts Qi Limin. Moreover, the Secrecy Bureau has indeed done a lot of things during this period, leaving behind Very many people.

These people played a big role in his counterattack, and he still harbored illusions in his heart.

"Call them back, don't have any worries, just trust General Xue."

Chu Lingyun replied with a smile, Chu Yuan also smiled, he understood what the team leader meant.

The organization has landed in Hainan. This is the time when information is needed. Yu Huaqiang is still in the inspection room. As long as the people in Hainan in the inspection room return news, Yu Huaqiang can report it to the organization as soon as possible.

Now is not the time to retreat.

"yes."

Chu Yuan was ordered to respond to the call. Zheng Guangtao received the message and was helpless when he saw that Chu Lingyun still refused to come back.

The director was away, so he had to hold on.

On the 15th, Chu Lingyun appeared in New York.

The network test of the TV station has been completed. The national channel will be officially launched today at 12 noon. The first program is to congratulate the opening of the national channel. They have recorded blessings from many celebrities in advance.

Then came the national news.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be TV dramas. The first one will be "Family Troubles", four episodes will be broadcast simultaneously.

Then there are brand new children's programs, general news, financial news and more.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it will be "Detective Henry" filmed by Loach.

After the formation of National Television, a brand new company was established. The director was Boggs, the former director of New York Television. He did a good job and became the director of National Television as he wished.

Boggs is now in high spirits and looks forward to doing well in his new position and truly moving himself up a level.

Ratings cannot be counted in real time, they can only make inferences based on hotline calls.

This time the hotline is open nationwide, and they have specially prepared 30 operators in advance for this purpose. If the call is tight, the number can be increased to 50.

In the conference room, Chu Lingyun was sitting in the main seat with a TV set in front of him.

Boggs and others were sitting on both sides, and Loach was also there. His TV series was going to be released today, and he was very much looking forward to the result.

They have advertised before, and many people know that today their TV stations are broadcasting it nationwide.

It was not yet twelve o'clock at noon, and there was a specific signal on the TV, but there was no program.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the technical side immediately started signal transmission. A tall and sexy host appeared and announced to everyone the launch of their national program, followed by blessings from others, including Smith and others.

Finally, there is Kate Gate.

They were all blessings, and it didn't take long. Boggs would go out from time to time to inquire about the results of the hotline.

"Boss, there were only three people who called me to wish me the best, but they were all advertisers who wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with us."

Boggs was a little nervous. This was not a good start. Although the blessings were not content, the lack of real audience calls always made him feel very guilty.

"Let's see if they are strong enough to accept our terms and offer."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. In fact, it is a good thing that advertisers are calling now. These businessmen are very smart. They are optimistic about the new program, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry.

Chu Lingyun would not want an advertiser without strength.

"Okay boss."

Boggs sat down again, and the news soon started, and the hotline content began to include more questions, mostly asking about the next program.

Chu Lingyun's heart moved slightly and he ordered: "From now on, arrange the daily broadcast program list in advance and hand it over to the newspaper office, and they will publish the next day's TV program list."

Program preview? Since the audience cares, then give it to them.

This will not only create a sense of anticipation among the audience, but also increase newspaper sales.

Chu Lingyun has not only TV stations, but also many newspapers.

"Yes, boss."

Boggs responded again, and everyone watched the show intently until Family Troubles aired and the phone finally started ringing.

It’s not enough to get all fifty people on board.

Boggs felt relieved a little.

This TV series is a hit. Although it has been broadcast by many local TV stations, it has not been broadcast by national TV stations. Moreover, many places did not have their TV stations in the past.

Another point is that even if it is a replay, many people still like it.

The ratings of their previous reruns were not low.

Four episodes are simulcast, with commercials in between.

Especially during commercial breaks, many people called, some praising, some protesting, and even more egregiously, a lawyer wanted to sue them, saying that advertising during the TV series violated their right to choose.

Chu Lingyun ignored them all.

The TV station has its own legal department. If you want to file a lawsuit, you can come here at any time. When the time comes, you will drag him to death and pay him to death.

Family troubles are so hot, it’s not like no one has ever had a wrong idea before.

An illegal private TV station focused on them and stole and broadcast their programs, which greatly increased the ratings.

However, after being discovered, he was quickly invited to drink tea by the police.

Now the entire company no longer exists, and the boss is still inside repenting for what he has done.

Chu Lingyun did not stay in the conference room all the time. He left after four o'clock, but Ni Loach had been waiting for his TV series to be played.

Ni Loach felt even more uneasy.

The reruns are so popular, if his brand new TV series can't compare to the reruns, it's equivalent to a failure.

The time finally arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.

Ni Loach simply came to the service department. The people here were answering the phone. He had watched the TV several times, but there was nothing interesting. He wanted to see the audience's reaction.

The theme song sounds from Detective Henry, a new TV series about police detectives.

After the TV started, the phone started ringing again.

Seeing the busy operator, Niyi breathed a sigh of relief. So far, the feedback is not bad, but he doesn't know what the real ratings will be in the end.

When Chu Lingyun returned to his residence, he put the TV station aside in advance. He was thinking about the country.

Hainan is about to be liberated, and Yu Huaqiang is there to provide intelligence in the inspection room, which can at least reduce some organizational casualties.

They are all the best and loveliest people, and every one of them can survive.

Chu Lingyun has no worries about the liberation of Hainan. He is thinking about his new mission now.

In the process of liberating Hainan, the organization did suffer a lot from not having a strong navy. Relying on faith, we could use wooden sailing boats to land, even if many of them required manpower to drive, we could do it, but after all, the casualties were too high.

The construction of the navy does not happen overnight and takes time.

The construction of the navy is far more difficult than that of the army and air force. Organizationally, there is no shortage of a strong army. The air force is because we do not have suitable aircraft, but training pilots is relatively easier than training naval soldiers.

This ease does not mean cost, but time.

The navy's training is far more complex than that of the army and air force. The organization does not have a navy. Now it can only use some simple modified ships for training, or gunboats, but this specification is far from enough.

Moreover, the situation in Taiwan and Hainan is different.

There are more defenders over there, and it is the last resort for the Fruit Party. They will definitely resist desperately.

After the war, various countries have a number of old warships that need to be eliminated.

Organizationally, we need these warships.

It doesn’t need too much, it can support the passage across the strait and send soldiers to land for combat. The organization directly contacts these countries, and they may not necessarily sell to them. They need to be transferred.

Hong Kong has become the most suitable transit place.

This is Chu Lingyun's new mission.

This task is not easy. He cannot disclose his identity now and cannot purchase in his own name. He needs an agent to do it. Chu Lingyun is thinking about this agent now.

It is actually not difficult to find an agent. Chu Lingyun understands the situation in Hong Kong and finds an agent to help them purchase.

The key is how it is delivered.

After all, the war will begin soon, and it is impossible for those countries to send warships after the war begins.

No matter what the outcome was, Chu Lingyun had no intention of giving up. The time agreed with the eldest son was coming soon, and he was about to return to Taiwan to try to do this.

Early the next morning, Loach ran to the TV station.

After his TV series was aired yesterday, there were a lot of calls to the hotline, but after all, there was no actual data. He wanted to know what the results were and had to wait for the statistics from the technical department.

It’s not that easy to calculate national ratings.

Each place needs to calculate its own situation, then summarize it, and finally report it to the headquarters, which will calculate and get the final ratings.

This process takes time, and it is expected that all statistics will not be completed until noon.

Various ministries send data through radio stations. In some places where there is no radio station, they can only make long-distance calls and report point by point.

The statistics took more time than Loach imagined.

It wasn't until 5 p.m. that all the ratings were calculated.

Because it is the first day, each place needs to verify it at least three times to confirm that it is correct before sending it. It must be sent twice to avoid errors.

After the people here get the data, they immediately make statistics. The viewing situation in each place is different, so multiple tables need to be prepared.

Today's computer technology is not yet mature. Although it exists, it is very large and costly.

They are basically used by the military or large consortiums, and not many people use them among the civilian population.

After all the ratings were calculated, Loach immediately took it to watch.

What he cares most about is the ratings of his TV series.

Seeing the final numerical ratio, Loach was startled.

Not too high, but too low.

Yesterday, more than 3.3 million TV sets in the United States watched their program, and the final ratings were about 35%.

The television industry in the United States has developed rapidly in the past two years.

At present, about 25% of households in the United States already own a TV set, with a total number of more than 9.5 million units, close to 10 million.

Many people optimistically estimate that the number will definitely exceed 10 million this year.

New York has the largest number of TV sets. It used to be about 300,000 sets, but now it's approaching 400,000 sets.

The one with the highest number of Loach TV ratings is New York.

This place had the best development before, and their TV station had the highest ratings. This time, more than 300,000 TV stations in New York watched their program, and the ratings exceeded 80%.

However, the overall ratings are still too low.

Loach was very disappointed after seeing the data. In his imagination, not to mention being as high as New York, the overall ratings had to reach over 50%, so that he could make an explanation to the team leader.

Thirty-five percent, a complete failure.

Boggs also saw the data.

He is a professional and knows more than a loach. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the total ratings of 35%.

This data is very high.

Their TV stations say they cover the whole country, but they basically cover big cities. Some places are not covered yet. Those without coverage will naturally not be able to receive their programs.

The uncovered portion accounts for about 25% of the TV sets owned.

In other words, there are more than 9 million TVs, but only more than 7 million can receive their programs.

Loach's program has a ratings of 35%. Excluding those that cannot be received, it is equivalent to 50%.

Secondly, their TV stations in other places are not as famous as New York, especially in newly opened areas. If the boss hadn't spent a lot of money on advertising this time and let his own newspaper carry out publicity, I'm afraid they would only have 20% of the ratings at most. Rate.

Thirty-five is definitely an excellent performance.

In addition, people who do not watch TV must also be counted. Not every TV will be turned on. There will always be people who are out for other things and unable to watch TV.

They are a channel that is launched on weekends, so more people will watch it. Assuming that 10% of people do not turn on the TV, their ratings can rise again, and the total ratings are almost 60%.

This data has exceeded their expectations, and he can explain it to his boss.

The program with the highest ratings yesterday was "Detective Henry" filmed by Loach. Today, many people called to consult and want to watch the next episodes.

This is only the first day, and it is also the first day that their channel is launched. Boggs believes that the ratings of the Loach program will increase in the next few days.

It will definitely end up being over 40 percent.

As for the 50 percent that Ni Loach wants, it is not easy. According to Ni Loach’s statistics, there are many people who cannot watch their programs. Add in the people who don’t turn on the TV, and it really reaches 50 percent of Ni Loach’s. , his program will become a nationwide phenomenon.

That's impossible.

Other TV stations are also making preparations to compete for the market. Some TV stations have already broadcast excellent TV series. If it were not for the lack of leisure activities in this era, they would never be able to achieve such ratings.

"Mr. Zhao, congratulations, your next drama will be filmed as soon as possible, and we will still broadcast it for you in prime time."

Boggs smiled and stretched out his hand. Loach's face froze. What did Boggs mean? What is there to congratulate on this achievement?

"Only 35%, so I don't mind congratulating you."

Ni Loach replied depressedly. Boggs was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that Ni Loach didn't know the situation of the TV station and thought the ratings were very low.

"Mr. Zhao, it's not what you think..."

Boggs explained everything clearly to Loach. The more he spoke, the bigger Loach's eyes became, and finally he became excited.

"You mean, my ratings are not low?"

"Of course, it's very high. Other TV stations will be very envious of you."

Boggs smiled and nodded, and Loach turned from worry to joy and said with a smile: "That's good, I'll report to the team leader first."

Loach was about to run back to announce the good news. Boggs was stunned and shook his head slightly as he watched Loach's leaving back.

Yesterday's results were not bad and they got off to a good start.

The highest ranking is the TV series produced by Nilu, followed by Family Troubles. This TV series is definitely a popular TV series. Even though many people have watched it and it is broadcast in the afternoon, the ratings are close to 30%.

This is just the beginning. After their own show is released, Boggs is confident that the ratings will increase to 40% or even 50%.

If technology can remove all TVs that are not on, their ratings can increase again.

When it truly reaches the whole country, Boggs is confident that it can achieve even more terrible ratings.

Loach came to Chu Lingyun happily with the data sheet.

On the first day of broadcast yesterday, his TV series got off to a good start.

Chu Lingyun smiled. The results of the data were not bad. After all, it was the beginning of the 1950s.

The golden decade of the American television industry was just beginning.

The current popularity of televisions is only about 25%.

This means that only one in four households in the United States owns a television.

In just ten years, this figure will increase to 90%.

Chu Lingyun had seen this data before on a short video platform, otherwise he would not have intervened in the TV station so early to seize the opportunity.

In an era without computers, mobile phones and the Internet, television was the king.

Most importantly, television controls public opinion.

This would be extremely beneficial to him.

"Arrange the filming of the next part as soon as possible, we are going back."

Chu Lingyun nodded and said that he would take Loach and Shen Hanwen with him when he went back this time, and Chu Yuan would continue to stay in the United States.

Ni Loach already knows his true identity, and Ni Loach can do anything Chu Yuan can do.

But the password will not be given to him, Chu Lingyun has to translate it himself.

After all, he is not part of the organization now.

"So fast?"

Ni Loach was stunned for a moment. He really didn't want to go back now. He wanted to see the profits that his show would bring after it became popular.

The price of the next drama will definitely increase, and the team leader will not treat him badly. He has already quoted a price of 120,000 US dollars.

His production cost plan is 60,000, which means he can make half of it.

In fact, it's more than that. Although the customized drama has no copyright, the TV drama can make his actors popular, and he can make money from these actors in the future. In other words, the income of the two TV dramas is at least more than 100,000 US dollars.

One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount. He has worked hard in China for so many years, ransacked many people's homes, and tricked many traitors before he managed to save so much?

In just a few months, he made so much money in the United States.

The more pictures he takes in the future, the more he will earn.

However, in the future, the photos he took will only be provided to the team leader and not to others, so as to avoid cultivating competitors for the team leader.

Chu Lingyun didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would advise him, and she wouldn't care.

There are always a lot of smart people. If he doesn't sell it, someone will naturally shoot it and sell it to other TV stations.

Competition among TV stations depends on market response.

Even if Chu Lingyun has the foresight of future generations, he cannot guarantee that his TV station can always dominate the ratings. That is impossible. There are always smart people who make popular TV series.

What's more, Chu Lingyun didn't remember all the popular dramas.

There are also various variety shows and so on.

He is not worried about the market being robbed. As long as they keep doing well, what will happen if a part of it is robbed?

Just stay ahead of the curve and don’t even fall behind.

In Washington, Hart has been keeping an eye on Chloe for some time.

He knew that Chloe was not going well in her new job.

Chloe has limited abilities and has been scolded several times.

Raising his arm to look at the watch on his arm, Hart stood up with a smile.

Time to get off.

Today he told his family that the bureau had missions and he could not go back.

This situation often happens. After all, he is an agent. It is normal for him to stay away from home for several days and nights when he encounters a case. Because of the special nature of his work, his wife cannot inquire about his situation.

No one told her even if she inquired, otherwise it would be a violation of discipline and she would be punished.

Hart came to a bar early.

Chloe has been here twice, and each time she came here to drink because she was unhappy at work.

If she was scolded at the company this time, she would definitely come.

Hart had to arrive early so that such a chance encounter would be more romantic, and Hart arranged a very clichéd program.

The hero saves the beauty.

When Chloe was troubled and saved by him, it was easy for her to develop a liking for him.

He comforted Chloe again. Under the stimulation of alcohol, the two of them might be able to accomplish good things tonight.

Thinking of this, Hart's heart and lower abdomen felt hot.

He has already arranged the personnel and is just waiting for the show to begin.

Loach is not in Washington. There are other people here who are responsible for keeping an eye on Chloe. As long as Chloe is not dead, they will leave her alone.

But everything about Chloe needs to be reported.

In order to ensure safety, Ran Wu came here to keep an eye on him this time. Ran Wu had been lurking for many years and learned many abilities from Chu Lingyun, including disguise.

He is loyal to Chu Lingyun and is someone who can absolutely be trusted.

After get off work, Chloe walked to the bar. This was not her own choice, but an order given to her by Loach.

Without creating opportunities for Hart, how could Hart get close to her?

Ran Wu came to the bar one step ahead and immediately found Hart who was already here and dressed up carefully.

He smiled and shook his head. Hart had already taken the bait. Who could escape when the boss targeted him?

Eight people including Feng Yong and Ran Wu are no longer in the country. Two of them stayed in the United States before. Now Ran Wu has taken one person to Brazil, and Feng Yong and one person are in Hong Kong.

There are two more in Taipei.

They are all over the world, and Chu Lingyun can call them in time if he needs them to do anything.

Ran Wu sat in the corner and watched the show quietly. After a while, Chloe entered the bar.

Hart's position was very particular. Chloe liked to sit here both times. This time he deliberately sat next to him in advance, waiting for Chloe to take the bait.

In his world, Chloe is his fish and he is the hunter.

The real situation is that Chloe belongs to the bait, and he is the fish that is caught.
