If you want to eat meat and want to join in the division of the pie in the post-war world, you must be prepared. This preparation is not only financial preparation, but also preparation in other aspects.
These preparations are not limited to building a network in Washington and getting along well with Truman. There is also a very critical thing - influencing Americans. In fact, influencing Americans is very simple. It is nothing more than controlling public opinion. As long as public opinion is controlled, the ideas of Americans can be influenced.
"Boss, are you planning to acquire a TV station?"
After the company executive meeting, Lin Ande came to George and said:
"TV stations don't have many viewers at all. I heard that there are only more than 10,000 TV sets in New York. Wouldn't it be too risky to acquire a TV station?"
As George's secretary, Lin Ande studied law. He graduated four years ago and has been stranded in the United States due to the war. He originally worked in a small company. After learning about the recruitment of Carl Company, he immediately resigned and came here, and was transferred to Zhenhua Company.
In the previous meeting, when the boss asked Manager Zhu to investigate the TV broadcasting company, he noticed the boss's idea.
Seeing Lin Ande's somewhat nervous eyes, George couldn't help but smile:
"Ten thousand TV sets may not seem like a lot, but tell me, what kind of families use these ten thousand TV sets?"
Lin Ande thought for a while and answered. "What kind of families? Well... they should all be wealthy families. After all, a TV set that costs a few hundred dollars is not something that ordinary families can afford?"
"Yes, that's right, wealthy families. These families are definitely middle class or above. Many of them are lawyers, doctors, and the elites of American society. Don't underestimate these people. It is these people who influence the thoughts of most people. Their thoughts can even affect politicians, because politicians themselves are their friends. They will eat together and discuss together, and this is why I acquired the radio and television company."
Looking at Lin Ande, George continued.
"In this society, most people seem to have their own judgment, but it is difficult for them not to be influenced by the outside world. A single word can melt gold, and a lot of criticism can destroy a person. In the future, TV stations will definitely be our mouthpieces. For example, when it comes to news about us Chinese, they will definitely 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 TV stations were set up was entirely inspired by the Jews. Why did the Jews, who had little influence before the war, become a force that influenced American politics in the 1960s after World War II? You know, before the war, they couldn't even lobby the United States to accept Jewish refugees, and the United States even directly closed the channel for Jewish immigration.
It was because the Jews saw the power of the media - the Nazis' attack on the Jews before the war was to first discredit them in public opinion, and then to promote anti-Semitism among the people through propaganda, and then to start comprehensive anti-Semitism. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, they thought of controlling the media themselves. Faced with the reality that the traditional American newspapers and broadcasting industry had long been monopolized by Americans, the Jews took advantage of the rise of television to invest in and establish many television stations. By the 1960s, 60% of the American television stations were controlled by Jews, and by the 1970s, Jewish capital controlled 70% of the television stations.
What do the Jews who control the television stations influence?
Not only public opinion, but even the thoughts of Americans are influenced by them. And what do American politicians cater to? Is it Jewish capital? No, it is the media controlled by Jewish capital.
At the same time, Jewish capital took advantage of the blow of television to movies and the decline of cinemas to acquire theaters at low prices. By the 1980s, American theaters were almost all controlled by Jewish capital, which directly led to the Jewishization of Hollywood - because the movies of film companies need to be shown in theaters.
So, Jewish capital directly controlled the most effective tool of public opinion and used it to serve itself. The rise of Jews is actually closely related to the rise of television.
"Of course, newspapers can also achieve such an effect, but newspapers are not the future. Television is the real future. Not everyone will read newspapers, but everyone will watch TV at home. After the war, televisions will surely be popularized in everyone's homes. People will watch TV, listen to news, and watch movies in the living room. By then, as long as they are properly guided, TV stations will become our most advantageous tool for influencing public opinion."
How to start a good TV station?
George didn't know, but no matter what, he had read articles about the rise of American TV stations such as CNN, and he always knew something. 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 casually used, it would definitely be a king bomb among king bombs!
Don't look at the small number of TV users in the early days, but you can't stand the high-end users. These people have a great influence. Moreover, just a few years later, TVs have entered one-third of American households and become a necessity for most households. As long as you seize this first-mover advantage, it will be a bit difficult not to grow into a media giant.
Why do you need to lay out the media in advance?
To put it bluntly, it is to pave the way for the next step. After all, North Borneo will definitely be taken in the future. How to stay out of the anti-colonial wave is not only about the relationship with the president, but also requires the support of the people. Only in this way can he be a local emperor in North Borneo.
However, if you want to be a local emperor, the most important thing is force. Without force, how can you stand firm in the independence wave?
Armed forces are very important!
The gun is very important.
But fortunately, the company's force has been set up. In the past two months, Ding En has been recruiting security personnel everywhere. According to George's requirements, they must be overseas Chinese children with clean backgrounds and cannot be gang members. Such people... are really hard to find. After all, most overseas Chinese youth have joined the army, and a considerable number of them have returned to China to help.
It is not easy to recruit more than 100 people. After all, among ten Chinese in the United States, almost two have joined the army. They are not only fighting for the United States, but more for China.
Looking through the window at the security guards training in the company compound, George said to himself: "We still need to hurry up with the gun issue..."
