Chapter 1503 Thief Ship
Chen Chu listened to John Malone mentioning the rules of the traditional media industry. In fact, major traditional media have camps. Although the so-called rules of media people are like this, as long as they are humans, they have prejudice and preferences. After all, they are not machines and there is no joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
For example, Fox TV is the base camp of conservative media, and there are other major camps. Each has different ideas. It is common to attack each other's public opinion. The same thing, but the direction of the major media reports is completely different. There is no need to be any surprise. It is just a common thing.
Looking at John Malone, who knows the entire traditional media and cable TV in front of him, Chen Chu could have imagined that if it were not for the rise of the Internet media wave, John Malone would probably be the uncrowned king of the North American media industry.
Even now, he has begun to retreat to the second line, but John Malone still has a great influence on the media industry. Chen Chu didn't know how those media industries survived in the 1990s when they faced John Malone.
"Chuke Technology is willing to cooperate with LMC Free Media Group!"
Chen Chu said directly to John Malone that Chen Chu needs support from the North American media industry, especially next year, if he starts to cut leeks, if there is no support from media public opinion, he may be very passive.
Maybe someone will be attacked and blame the North American subprime mortgage crisis and global financial storm on Chuke Technology. Chen Chu has no doubt that the media that pointed to the deer and turned the black and white will do it. The difference is just how dark the heart is.
So Chen Chu needs to form his own media camp, come out at the critical moment to sway the flag and swear Chu Ke technology. With the support of a media group, those people will never dare to smear Chu Ke technology unscrupulously. After all, there are all kinds of black materials in the hands of the media. If it is really urgent, it will be a matter of slaughtering Chu Ke technology. It is difficult for everyone to live a hard life.
Looking out the window, unlike the media group headquarters in New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, the LMC Group headquarters is in Denver. Although it is also known as one of the top 20 cities in North America, only those who have been here understand the situation.
"LMC Group, what you want to do, what President John has not completed, Chuke Technology is willing to continue to support LMC Free Media Group to do it!"
Chen Chu said to John Malone, "LMC Free Media Group can put all of them on Facebook, Youtube, and Renren platforms, including the Exploration Record Channel. In addition, Chuke Technology is also willing to have deeper cooperation with LMC Media Group in terms of satellite technology, communications, and Internet technology!"
When talking about the Exploration Documentary Channel under LMC Media Group, people may be unfamiliar with it, but when talking about the documentary of the survival of man standing at the top of the food chain, "Survival in the Wild" is one of the products under this channel.
John Malone sighed, drank the red wine in his hand, nodded, and said to Chen Chu in a rather quiet manner, "LMC Free Media Group is also willing to cooperate with Chuke's technical team!"
He knew what Chen Chu wanted, so he said directly, "The media under LMC Media Group will also cooperate with Chuke Technology in the future, including the Associated Press, but the public relations fee still needs Chuke Technology to pay!"
"This is natural!" Chen Chu raised his wine glass and said.
Looking at John Malone in front of him, he could see his old age, or to be more precise, he could not see the future of his proud satellite and cable TV business. This is the reason why he wasted his time. Otherwise, with John Malone's personality, how could he be willing to retire in recent years?
"The global cable TV market and satellite channels will not disappear. Maybe it's just a different way. After all, there is a demand for TV, so it will never disappear!"
John Malone suddenly opened his eyes, and the feeling of loss was swept away. He stared at Chen Chu tightly, not like an old man who was about to build a building and was clamoring for several years to retire.
"Chen, this kind of thing should not be used as a joke. You know me, and LMC Media Group, and all media industries cannot withstand such jokes!" John Malone spoke in a low voice, his face full of seriousness, and his eyes were firmly staring at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu stretched out his hand and did not avoid John Malone's eyes at all. After all, he had to use the LMC Free Media Group. Chen Chu didn't mind giving John Malone some bait to lead him onto a pirate ship. Only when tied to a carriage would John Malone charge for Chu Ke's technology. There was no benefit. Such an old-school media person would at most watch the excitement and not take the blame.
"LMC Free Media Group is willing to fully support Chuke Technology. I guarantee it as the co-president of LMC Free Media Group!" said John Malone.
After saying that, John Malone looked at Chen Chu impatiently. He was about to retire, but today he suddenly heard that cable TV and satellite channels were still available and would not disappear because of Internet videos.
If this was said by others, it would be fine if John Malone listened to it, but he would not take it to heart. He had hired countless professional managers to find ways to get the LMC media out of the quagmire, and even asked professional technical experts to make plans, but the results were still not ideal.
Now, not only North America, but also the main regions of cable TV, Europe, Asia and other places, users have also disappeared on a large scale and have switched to Internet media. After all, with a computer and a network cable, you can see more TV series, movies, MTVs, and shopping, chat, and games than TV. Why not?
This is also the contribution of Chen Chu. Renren Film and Television is regarded as the promoter of the Internet video wave. Internet companies such as Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL have begun to appear, and Chen Chu has buried another piece of soil in the traditional TV industry. Because of Renren Film and Television, there are countless small TV stations that have gone bankrupt in recent years. Even the cable TV business and satellite channels under LMC Free Media Group have continued to decline in revenue and users are constantly losing.
But now I suddenly heard that Chen Chu, the riser of Internet video, actually announced that the cable TV business is still saved, how can I prevent John Malone from losing his composure?
"Chan, what are your plans?" John Malone said to Chen Chu.
"The plan is not enough, but there is only a little idea. President John Malone, just think it's just a smile." Chen Chu said,
"I don't know if President John has heard of the TV box?" Chen Chu asked John Malone.
It would be fine if I didn't mention this, but John Malone's old face was pulled down, suppressing his anger and a little displeasure, "It was developed by an Asian company called Shanda?!"
If the emergence of Internet videos makes the cable TV business and satellite channels look like a big enemy, then John Malone feels that the emergence of the TV box is to dig the grave for the cable TV business.
The emergence of the TV box is equivalent to making the TV business completely restricted by the TV box, from directly facing users to indirectly facing users through a TV box. Don’t underestimate this program, it means that the order of the entire TV industry has been completely changed!
Chen Chu looked at John Malone's expression and laughed, "Shanda is also a partner of Chuke Technology. Of course, I am not going to mention to President John Malone how Shanda's TV box is."
"But I want to say that Shanda Box has now launched the second generation. Based on the first generation of TV boxes, the second generation of TV boxes has sold nearly 400,000 units, and the pre-sale stage has exceeded 530,000 units. It is expected that the sales volume of this year can exceed 2 million TV boxes!"
Shanda's first-generation TV box has frequent problems and is expensive, but the sales volume cannot be said to be poor. When it comes to the second generation, Shanda box has been completely replaced, from parts to systems, it is still covered with the original layer of skin, and almost all of it has been replaced.
When it comes to Shanda's second-generation TV Box, Chen Tianqiao finally made up his mind to fully cooperate with Chuke Technology. In fact, it is impossible not to cooperate. Onyx Technology is already the second largest shareholder of Shanda TV Box. More than 70% of the sales of Shanda Box are sold through Onyx Technology's retail channels. Shanda Box's content services are more than 80% provided by Renren Music and Renren Film and Television. Without the support of Chuke Technology, Shanda Box has basically become an empty shell.
So when it came to the second generation of TV boxes, Chen Tianqiao directly replaced the Shanda box's processor with the processor provided by Onyx Technology Chip Laboratory, and all the components were supplied by Onyx Technology Industry Chain.
In fact, if it weren't for Onyx Technology's reasons, Onyx Technology's industrial chain suppliers were unwilling to accept Shanda TV box orders because the profit was too thin and far from the profit of producing a smartphone.
Shanda Box's system also removed Microsoft, which was unwilling to improve the system for Shanda Box, and adopted the TV box box system modified by Android.
After comprehensive cooperation with Chuke Technology, the cost of Shanda began to drop sharply. Compared with the first generation of nearly 6,000, the second generation of Shanda's second generation is nearly half cheaper, but the profit is increased by 30%!
Price is the kingly way. Even if the first generation Shanda TV box has a bad reputation and countless people complain about it, when the price of the second generation Shanda box 2999 was released, the law of true fragrance still took effect. Those who booked Shanda second generation TV box instantly exceeded the full sales of the first generation TV box!
John Malone knew that Chen Chu mentioned Shanda TV Box not to humiliate the LMC Free Media Group for being unprofitable.
Today, when the global TV industry is in a downturn, Shanda Box's sales have continued to increase, which means that the demand for the TV market still exists and has never disappeared, and it has even reached the point of a dusk industry.
Frowning, John Malone looked at Chen Chu with some confusion, "Chen, are you letting LMC free without mentioning the group, and you also enter the TV box field?"
The "living room strategy" was not only Chen Tianqiao's call, but Microsoft has also proposed it, but in terms of action, Chen Tianqiao is still better.
