Chapter 511

After Li Dongling's chicken soup, it was the American Dream, letting everyone see their genius side, and then the million-dollar dream. Which American could withstand such a test?!

Not to mention those rednecks, African Americans in the slums, and the Mexicans who smuggled in, even the interview members of ABC's California Television, including Gary Hansen, felt their breathing grow heavy.

The social hierarchy in America had already been fixed, especially for ethnic groups other than Anglo-Saxons and Hebrews. To climb out of slum communities, the only way was to develop in entertainment industries like basketball, baseball, football, and singing, because these industries truly required talent—an industry where talent was more important than money, completely relying on God to provide food.

As for others, industries like law, medicine, and finance, which were decent and high-income, had quite high thresholds for entry. Ordinary American families simply couldn't support such high tuition fees.

This was also why, after the rise of the Internet, so many Americans flocked to this industry, because emerging industries were one of the few industries where they still had a chance to turn their lives around.

The same was true for Himalayan Radio. This was an emerging platform, and the slots hadn't been completely occupied. Even if they knew Li Dongling's words had water in them, so what? If they could become famous on Himalayan Radio, that was indeed an opportunity to change their lives.

Calming his mind, Gary Hansen felt that this interview was almost being led astray, and the rhythm was completely controlled by Li Dongling.

To be honest, he was also an old hand in the industry and had interviewed presidents of companies including Cisco and HP, but he had never lost his rhythm completely like today.

Gary Hansen felt that the pie Li Dongling drew was too tempting and too mouth-watering. Unlike when he interviewed companies like Cisco, he clearly knew the gap in social status and net worth between himself and those heads of companies, so he never had unrealistic thoughts.

But the pie Li Dongling drew made people feel as if they could eat it just by opening their mouths. This instead made Gary Hansen a bit unable to hold on.

"Li, you just said, there are no dying mediums, only dying media!

Then what media industries do you think the Internet will affect in the future?" Gary Hansen asked Li Dongling.

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

In the future, who knows, you might be able to listen to music, watch MVs, TV dramas, movies, and view data and literature that could only be viewed in libraries on a computer. Things that newspapers, television, and cinemas can do can also be done on a computer.

Of course, this is just possible. The current performance, network speed, functions, etc., of computers are not enough to do these things, but what if? Just like the American Dream, what if... it comes true?"

"Then in the future," Gary Hansen asked a question that traditional media might treat as a joke now, but would definitely worry about in the future, "will the Internet replace these newspapers, magazines, television stations, cinemas, and libraries?!"

"Who knows!"

Li Dongling wouldn't make enemies for no reason at this time. Next, Feiyan Technology still needed this group of media in America to cheer for them.

"Internet media is more likely to exist as a supplement to traditional media, becoming a part of the media together with newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and cinemas!"

The interview basically entered the final stage. To be honest, there were some places in this interview that surprised Gary Hansen.

Unlike Netscape and Yahoo, those two famous Internet companies, they were famous and had a reputation on the Internet, but they were too far from the real world. Ordinary people couldn't use them to cash out at all, and they weren't enough to make people in the real world resonate with them.

But Himalayan Radio was different. It was not far from the real world, and its cooperative relationship with offline radio stations now had stronger interactivity.

And Himalaya could be cashed out, and it didn't even take long. Coupled with the living examples of Jory, Logan, and Hainam, which were happening right in front of their eyes, the impact was naturally greater!

At the end of the interview, when Gary Hansen was about to get up, Li Dongling suddenly said something to Gary Hansen, seemingly casually, but it made Hansen's heart jump suddenly.

"Hansen, perhaps you can also come to Himalayan Radio to establish your program. Himalaya welcomes you.

You are one of the most famous technology reporters in the California technology industry. If you come to Himalayan Radio, you can invite your friends to participate in your Himalayan podcast interviews!

The rules of Himalayan Radio are much looser than television stations, and the scope and scale of questions that can be asked are larger. An annual signing fee of eighty thousand dollars, although not too high, but the subsequent advertising revenue, program sponsorship fees... can all give you a larger share ratio!"

Li Dongling said seemingly casually, making Gary Hansen's heart churn with stormy waves. If he could endure the signing fee of eighty thousand dollars, he couldn't hold on to the advertising revenue and sponsorship fees.

From the interview just now, and some information about Himalayan Radio that Zhou Hualiang gave him, Hansen understood that the bulk of what Jory, Logan, and Tony and those people got at Himalayan Radio was not some signing fee, but the sponsorship fees from advertisers!

For a podcast program, as long as there are enough users paying attention, pulling in advertising sponsorships is not a problem. If you can bring goods like Tony, the advertising share ratio will be even higher.

Before, no matter how many advertisers ABC Television had, no matter how much advertising revenue they earned, it had nothing to do with Hansen and the others. They were just workers, working like cattle and horses at the TV station, receiving a salary, and it was good enough to get a bonus if they were lucky. What qualifications did they have to covet advertising revenue? That was turning the world upside down.

But now, Himalayan Radio told him that as long as he went over, he would have a chance to get a lot of advertising sponsorship fees. Just ask, how could Gary Hansen endure it?

Li Dongling felt that the heat was not enough and added another fire, "The copyright of all programs established by podcasters on Himalayan Radio is jointly held by Himalayan Radio and the podcaster.

As long as these programs have advertising revenue and are used by other radio stations, television, websites, and other platforms and have paid copyright fees, Himalayan Radio will share these revenues with the podcaster according to the agreement.

If the podcast creator encounters misfortune, the copyright will continue to enjoy the revenue brought by the program copyright by his testamentary heir, just like the revenue of those published books, TV dramas, and movie copyrights!"

Li Dongling had completely brewed this bowl of toxic chicken soup. After hearing these words, Hansen was clearly a bit unable to hold on.

If it weren't for the last bit of clarity, Hansen would have held on, and he might have agreed on the spot.

In Hollywood, America, rumors often spread that an actor can live off a TV drama or movie for a lifetime. These rumors are not groundless.

As long as an actor is lucky enough to shoot a TV drama that is repeatedly rebroadcast, even after retiring from the entertainment industry, not to mention earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, at least tens of thousands of dollars are guaranteed, so they won't become a homeless person starving on the street.

Like the six leads of Friends, after they finished shooting this drama, as long as this drama is rebroadcast on NBC once, they can get 2,500 dollars per episode, the second round is 1,000 dollars, the third round is 750 dollars, until after the thirteenth round of rebroadcast, it is fixed at 125 dollars per episode.

This does not count overseas broadcasting, DVD, and Internet video website playback revenue, which means that even if the actors of Friends retire, they will have at least one million dollars in TV drama shares every year.

Himalayan's radio programs certainly can't compare to Friends. Even if Hollywood has been around for decades, how many Friends can there be in total?

But it doesn't prevent Li Dongling from brewing the toxic chicken soup and giving those who want to come to Himalayan Radio a thought. What if they become famous? Then they can rely on the podcast program copyright and might be able to eat for a lifetime...

Facing this kind of toxic chicken soup, even if Gary Hansen could endure it on the spot, he "fled in a panic." He was afraid that if Li Dongling said anything else, he would be unable to endure it on the spot and agree to go to Himalayan Radio to establish his own podcast program.

Looking at Gary Hansen's departing figure, Li Dongling said to Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui, and others on the side, "Let the PR company give ABC Television a PR fee, so that this interview can be broadcast as soon as possible, and don't let ABC edit and change the interview content!

Also, prepare more servers to cover the Himalayan website's business to America's big cities as soon as possible, and prepare for the arrival of more users!"

The most important Internet users in America now and in the future are concentrated in big cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Houston. As for small cities, don't count on it. Not to mention opening the Internet, the telecom companies in America won't even build mobile signal towers.

In America, one has to guard against villains, and one has to pay respects to the right people. If these media edit it at will, it can disgust people to death. Don't count on them to help much, but when they disgust people, they can make people feel very uncomfortable. Li Dongling cannot let these media like ABC ruin Feiyan Technology's listing event!

Standing by the window, Li Dongling looked at the Silicon Valley scenery outside the window. If the effect of this interview broadcast is ideal enough, then the first thing about coming to America this time is basically half done.

The rest is to rely on Himalayan Radio to see how many chips can be raked in for Feiyan Technology.

Feiyan Technology's listing is not just for future R&D technology and products, raking in a sum of money in America, and cutting a few crops of leeks after listing. The impact it brings is more important.

Do not worry about scarcity but about inequality. Within Dongling High-Tech, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao, and a group of veteran factions and professional managers who have followed Li Dongling for so long, Li Dongling also needs to let them eat meat. You can't always draw pies and not give people meat, right? Then who will work hard for Dongling High-Tech in the future?

This time Feiyan Technology is listed, a group of executives within Dongling High-Tech who have obtained Feiyan Technology's equity can also eat meat and drink soup together, and also set an example for latecomers. In Dongling High-Tech, you can really eat meat, your net worth will skyrocket, and you will enter the ranks of the million, ten million, or even hundred million club!

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. After this time, how many big cows and geniuses will enter Dongling High-Tech's trap in the country and even overseas? This wave of advertising is Dongling High-Tech's recruitment brochure, which is estimated to last for more than ten years!

If Feiyan Technology's listing is successful, the impact brought in other aspects will also bring huge revenue of more than ten years to Dongling High-Tech's other businesses.
