Chapter 503 Admissions Brochure

After Li Dongling's chicken soup, there was the American dream, and everyone was asked to show their genius side, and then there was the million-dollar dream. Which American could withstand such a test? !
Not to mention the rednecks, African Americans in the slums, and the Mexicans who sneaked in, even Gary Hansen and other interview members from ABC's California TV station were breathing heavily.

The social classes in America are already fixed, especially for ethnic groups other than Anglo-Saxons and Hebrews. If people want to climb out of the slum communities, they can only develop in entertainment industries such as basketball, baseball, football, and singing, because these industries really require talent, and talent is more important than money. They rely entirely on God's gift for their livelihood.

As for other industries with decent high incomes such as lawyers, doctors, and finance, the entry threshold is quite high. The average American family cannot afford such high tuition fees.

This is also the reason why, after the rise of the Internet, so many Americans rushed into this industry, because emerging industries are one of the few industries where they still have a chance to turn things around.

The same is true for Himalaya Radio, which is a new platform and the positions have not been completely filled. Even if they know that what Li Dongling said is exaggerated, if they can become famous on Himalaya Radio, it will indeed be an opportunity to change their lives.

After calming himself down, Gary Hansen felt that the interview was about to go astray and the rhythm was completely controlled by Li Dongling.

To be honest, he is also a veteran in the industry and has interviewed presidents of companies including Cisco and HP, but he has never let Gary Hansen completely lose his rhythm like he did today.

Gary Hansen felt that the pie that Li Dongling painted was too tempting and too desirable. Unlike his interviews with companies like Cisco, he knew clearly the gap between himself and those leaders in terms of social status and net worth, and would never have unrealistic ideas.

However, the pie that Li Dongling painted made people feel that as long as they opened their mouths, they could eat it, which made Gary Hansen unable to control himself.

“Lee, you just said that there is no dying medium, only dying media!

So which media industries do you think will be affected by the Internet in the future?" Gary Hansen asked Li Dongling.

Li Dongling pondered for a moment and said, "Yahoo is adding new content to its website, including news, stocks, sports games, etc.

In the future, we may be able to listen to music, watch MVs, TV series, movies, and view materials and documents that can only be viewed in libraries on computers. Everything that can be done with newspapers, television, cinemas and other media can also be done on computers.

Of course, this is only a possibility. The performance, internet speed, functions, etc. of current computers are not enough to achieve this. But what if? Just like the American Dream, what if... it comes true? "

"What about the future?" Gary Hansen asked a question that may be regarded as a joke by traditional media now, but will definitely be a concern in the future. "Will the Internet replace these newspapers, magazines, TV stations, cinemas, and libraries?!"

"Who knows!"

Li Dongling will not make enemies for no reason at this time. Feiyan Technology will still need the American media to cheer for it.

"Internet media is more likely to exist as a supplement to traditional media, becoming a part of the media along with newspapers, magazines, radio, television, cinemas, etc."

The interview is basically coming to an end. To be honest, there are some aspects of this interview that surprised Gary Hansen.

Unlike Netscape and Yahoo, two already famous Internet companies, they are famous and well-known on the Internet, but they are too far away from the real world. Ordinary people cannot monetize them at all, and they are not enough to make people in the real world resonate with them.

But Himalaya Radio is different. It is not far from the real world, and its cooperation with offline radio stations is more interactive.

Moreover, Himalaya can be monetized in a short time. Plus, the real-life examples of Jory, Logan, and Hainam are happening right before our eyes, which naturally makes people more touched!
At the end of the interview, when Gary Hansen was about to stand up, Li Dongling suddenly said something to Gary Hansen, seemingly casually, which made Hansen's heart suddenly beat.

“Hansen, maybe you can also come to Himalaya Radio and set up your program. Himalaya welcomes you.

You are one of the most famous technology journalists in the California technology industry. If you come to Himalaya Radio, you can invite your friends to participate in your Himalaya podcast interview in the podcast!
The rules of Himalaya Radio are much more relaxed than those of TV stations. The scope and scale of the questions you can ask are wider. Although the annual contract fee of $80,000 is not too high, the subsequent advertising income, program sponsorship fees... can give you a larger share of the profits!"

Li Dongling's seemingly casual words made Gary Hansen's heart surge with anxiety. If he could still tolerate the $80,000 signing fee, he would be unable to bear the advertising income and sponsorship fees. From the interview just now and some of the Himalaya Radio materials Zhou Hualiang gave him, Hansen understood that the big money that people like Jory, Logan, and Toni made at Himalaya Radio was not the signing fee, but the sponsorship fees from advertisers!
For a podcast program, as long as there are enough users paying attention, no matter how much advertising sponsorship it can get, it is not a problem. If it can sell products like Toni did, the advertising share ratio will be even higher.

In the past, no matter how many advertisers ABC TV had, no matter how much advertising fees it earned, it had nothing to do with Hansen and his colleagues. They were just employees, working like slaves at the TV station. They were lucky enough to get a salary, and if they were lucky, they could get a bonus. They had no right to think about advertising fees, but rather Tian Gang.

But now, Himalaya Radio told him that as long as he went there, he would have the opportunity to get a lot of advertising sponsorship fees. How could Gary Hansen resist?
Li Dongling felt that the heat was not high enough, so he added fuel to the fire, “The copyright of all programs created by the podcasters on Himalaya Radio is jointly held by Himalaya Radio and the podcasters.

As long as these programs and advertising revenue are used by other radio stations, television stations, websites and other platforms and the copyright fees are paid, Himalaya Radio will share these revenues with the podcasters in accordance with the agreement.

If the podcast creator encounters misfortune, the copyright will be passed on to his heirs to continue to enjoy the subsequent income from the program copyright, just like the income from the copyright of published books, TV series, and movies! "

Li Dongling had made this bowl of poisonous chicken soup completely. After hearing these words, Hansen obviously couldn't control himself.

If it wasn't for the last bit of clarity that helped Hansen hold on, he might have agreed on the spot.

There are often rumors in Hollywood, America, that a certain actor can make a living from one TV series or movie, and these rumors are not groundless.

As long as an actor is lucky enough to be able to star in a TV series that is repeatedly rebroadcast, even after retiring from the entertainment industry, he or she can earn at least tens of thousands of dollars a year, not to mention hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and will not become a homeless person and starve to death on the streets.

For example, the six main actors of Friends, after they finished filming the show, as long as the show was rebroadcast once on NBC, they could get $2500 per episode. The second round was $750, the third round was $125, and after the thirteenth round of rebroadcasts, it was fixed at $ per episode.

This does not include the revenue from overseas broadcasts, DVDs, and Internet video sites, which means that even if the Friends actors retire, they will still receive at least one million yuan in TV drama profits every year.

Himalaya's radio programs are definitely not as good as Friends. Even if Hollywood has been around for decades, there are only a few Friends episodes in total.

But it doesn't matter. Li Dongling cooked the poisonous chicken soup to give people who want to come to Himalaya Radio a thought. If they become famous, they can probably make a living from the copyright of the podcast for the rest of their lives...

Faced with such toxic chicken soup, even if Gary Hansen could hold it back on the spot, he would still "flee in panic". He was afraid that Li Dongling would say something else, and he would not be able to help but agree on the spot to set up his own podcast program on Himalaya Radio.

Watching Gary Hansen leave, Li Dongling said to Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui and others, "Let the PR company pay ABC TV a PR fee so that this interview can be broadcast as soon as possible. Don't let ABC edit or change the content of the interview!

In addition, we will prepare more servers to quickly expand the Himalaya website’s business to major cities in America, in preparation for the arrival of more users!”

The majority of Internet users in America now and in the future are concentrated in large cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Houston. As for small cities, don't count on them. Not to mention opening up the Internet, American telecommunications companies don't even know how to build cell phone signal towers.

In America, one has to be on guard against bad people, and one has to pay respect to those who deserve respect. These media can make people sick to death with just a random edit. It's impossible to expect them to help much, but if they can make people sick, it can make people feel very uncomfortable. Li Dongling can't let media like ABC ruin Feiyan Technology's listing!
Standing by the window, Li Dongling looked at the scenery of Silicon Valley outside. If the broadcast effect of this interview was ideal enough, then the first thing he did when coming to America would basically be accomplished.

What remains is how much leverage Feiyan Technology can gain from Himalaya Radio.

Feiyan Technology's listing is not just for the purpose of developing technology and products in the future, raising money in America, and reaping some profits after the listing. The impact it brings is more important.

What is worrying is not the lack of resources but the inequality. Within Dongling Hi-Tech, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao and other veterans and professional managers who have followed Li Dongling for so long, Li Dongling also needs to let them have a share of the spoils. He can't always make empty promises without giving them the chance to eat. Otherwise, who will fight for Dongling Hi-Tech in the future?

With the listing of Feiyan Technology, a number of senior executives in Dongling Hi-Tech who have obtained shares of Feiyan Technology will be able to reap the rewards along with it. This also sets an example for those who come later that they can really reap the rewards at Dongling Hi-Tech, with their net worth skyrocketing and entering the ranks of the million, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions club!
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. After this time, many big names and geniuses at home and even overseas will fall into the trap of Dongling Hi-Tech. This wave of advertisements is the enrollment brochure of Dongling Hi-Tech, which is estimated to last for more than ten years!

If Feiyan Technology is successfully listed, the impact in other aspects will also bring huge profits to Dongling Hi-Tech's other businesses for more than ten years.
