Back To 1995

   Chapter 401 Hurricane

For the ICNC TV website, Yang Zhiyuan felt threatened and did not play the traditional TV set. ICNC's TV website, with its obvious Internet style, seized the era of fast food, and users watched news in a fragmented style, and pushed it to users in a concise and clear manner. For news, I wish I didn't need users to search by themselves, and just open it directly to the viewers.

Moreover, Yang Zhiyuan also found that the news editors of ICNC are well versed in the way of the Internet. In the short news headlines, various "shocks" appear from time to time, obviously it is the inauguration ceremony of the great commander, and the news headline broadcast on the ICNC website is, "Influence The Incident of America's National Games!"

The news in    is serious news, but the title, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a serious title. The number of clicks on the scam is obviously increasing, which makes ICNC's website start to freeze.

   After experiencing the ICNC website, Yang Zhiyuan, Ferro and Brady can clearly feel that this website will be one of Yahoo's important rivals in the future!

   "Bruno Song, what the **** are you doing?!"

  Kuge saw the cautious faces of the crowd, and immediately understood that ICNC was a threat to Yahoo. "ICQ already has its own portal, and now it has launched the Internet TV station ICNC. Is he going to fight Yahoo?!"

Cooger scolded angrily. Since this year, Netscape has declined, and Microsoft has been hindered by Netscape. Yahoo thought that this would usher in its own era, but who knew that it would first double-click the hunt to short the hedge fund and sell the entire Nass. Dak was turned upside down, and the double-click market value once exceeded 20 billion US dollars, becoming a global Internet brother.

   Now that ICNC has been launched, coupled with the ICQ portal, and Yahoo has begun to compete for the market, Cooger feels deep malice.

   "Yahoo should add more functions, not just a news website, but to add non-news content to the homepage. New functions such as email, search, instant messaging, and e-commerce should all appear on Yahoo!"

   After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zhiyuan finally said that in the face of a lot of competition from portal websites, as well as the menacing AOL news website, ICNC website, etc., Yang Zhiyuan decided to let Yahoo start to change.

   was discussing how to deal with competitors on Yahoo, when they saw the homepage of ICNC's website, a live broadcast screen suddenly appeared, and Brady clicked into it.

   In order to maintain the smoothness of the video, the clarity of the live page of the ICNC website is very poor, but the sound can be heard clearly.

  I saw a blurry page, and a man appeared on the web page with Caton, "Welcome everyone to watch ICNC TV, now it's an ICNC special program, I'm the host Williams!"

   "Today we will invite a special guest to do a special program. ICNC is a TV station that pursues truth and justice, and is willing to give everything for this!"

As Williams' voice fell, the screen on the web page turned to an expansion, and seeing the content in the newsreel, Coog, Yang Zhiyuan, Ferro, and others couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and there was only one thing in their hearts. Thought, that is ICNC crazy!

"On the wall of a Mayan city in Palenque, Mexico, there is a half-relief portrait. The Mayans are holding a mysterious sacrifice, and tobacco appears in this event. It is considered a medium between the gods and the world. !"

Microsoft, Bill Gates, Todd, and the professional media person are also watching the TV screen of ICNC, which is not much better than that of Yahoo, and Microsoft, who vaguely guessed what ICNC is going to do, is also very close. Staring intently at the TV screen.

   "The Latin American period saw the emergence of tobacco on a large scale and was used to repel mosquitoes and even one of the sources of fire..."

   After a brief introduction to the origin and history of tobacco, the picture suddenly changed, and the background music began to become tight, making the audience watching the show inexplicably nervous.

   "In 1950, epidemiologist Dole and Hill published an article in the British Medical Journal, pointing out that there is a link between tobacco and the lungs and various diseases!"

Williams' voice, in a press release, in black and white, appeared in a report from half a century ago, "Beginning in 1950, professional medical papers on the effects of tobacco on the body have been published in more than 1,000 articles worldwide. , and the tobacco company denies these medical papers and reports, and believes that these people who are tobacco and have physical conditions have nothing to do with the tobacco company!"

"Beginning half a century ago, America's lawsuits against tobacco companies have taken place in forty states, but so far none of the lawsuits against tobacco companies have been won. Today, ICNC TV has invited an important guest, who may, perhaps, Uncover for us parts of the tobacco industry, experiments and data that are not known to the general public!"

  The studio of ICNC TV, when Jeffrey Wegener appeared, everyone stood up and looked towards the studio.

   "Jeffrey, can I introduce you to everyone?"

  Jeffrey Wegener looks very nervous. Anyone who sees his look knows that this is the first time he has appeared in front of the camera.

   After taking a deep breath for a moment, and without any urging from Williams, Jeffrey Wegener finally said, "I used to be a technical manager in a tobacco company, in fact, at the beginning of this year!"

   "I think this should be a well-paid position. Why did you choose to leave, Jeffrey?" Williams continued to guide Jeffrey Wegener.

The ICNC TV camera, staring closely at Jeffrey Wegener, saw him grit his teeth, and finally said, "The technical department I am in found some experimental data, maybe the tobacco company has already known, I want to make More people know the data, but not allowed by the tobacco companies, I have to leave..."

   "What data is that?"

   "Tobacco companies may have long known that tobacco has an impact on the human body, producing effects on breathing, lungs, blood and even the heart. Tobacco companies have known this for a long time, but have not announced it to the outside world!"

   "ICNC TV's ratings reached 1.28 million!"

   When Jeffrey Wegener told the tobacco company and concealed the truth from the public, the ratings of ICNC TV station suddenly began to soar. In just a minute or two, the average ratings soared to more than two million.

   "The ICNC website has started to be congested, and the number of online viewers has exceeded 1.2 million!"

  There is also news from the ICNC website that the website of ICNC TV station has been "blown up", and the sudden surge of users has almost burst the server of the ICNC website.

Microsoft headquarters, when I saw Jeffrey Wegener really said that tobacco has an effect on the human body, and the tobacco company is aware of it and hides the truth from the public, that professional media industry figure, watching TV He muttered to himself, "America, the sixth largest TV station is about to appear!"

   Hearing this, Bill Gates couldn't help shrinking his eyes. He didn't expect that ICNC would dare to be so daring and dare to dig the bottom of the tobacco industry.

   But as someone in the media industry said, as soon as ICNC started broadcasting, it threw a pair of king bombs, and the whole of America would be shaken three times by this bomb.

Why has the tobacco industry been safe and sound for so many years? It has been entangled in lawsuits in various states of America, but it can still survive. In addition to the large amount of lobbying and public relations expenses it pays to members of Congress every year, it is taxation. In America, tobacco, Alcohol is also one of the most important taxes, and this time the industry may be shaken.

  The rest of the Microsoft executives were also whispering. Ballmer said to Todd and others, "Microsoft's equity in ICNC TV is too small, it should increase more equity!"

  I only saw ICNC report on tobacco nicotine. Everyone knows that ICNC may really become another big TV network in America as long as it doesn't pull too much in the future!

  Microsoft is also a shareholder of ICNC, but it is the fourth largest shareholder, holding a 7.5% stake in ICNC. Now Microsoft feels that its stake in ICNC seems to be too small.

On Yahoo, when the live web page of the ICNC website was stuck and stopped moving completely, Yang Zhiyuan, Cooger, Ferro, Brady and others did not make a sound. They knew that the ICNC website was completely crowded. exploded.

   "Let Yahoo cover this too!"

   After a while, Cooger was the first to react. He knew that in the Internet media industry, Yahoo would usher in a heavyweight opponent, far more difficult than the previous small-scale Internet companies!

Right now, Yahoo, the most important thing is not how to grab the limelight with ICNC. Once this exclusive interview came out, this month, or even in the two months before Christmas, there is probably no media in America that can steal ICNC's halo. .

  What Kuger has to do is to let Yahoo immediately start chasing this hot spot and report more insider stories of the tobacco industry, so that the ICNC website will not take this wave of dividends alone!

   "Tobacco companies need to face up to the problems brought about by tobacco, instead of escaping, so that every pack of cigarettes produced by tobacco companies should add a sentence, tobacco affects health!"

   In front of the camera, Williams, with a solemn face, said the last sentence of the interview program to the camera with integrity. When the camera switched and ICNC began to broadcast the first episode of "The Ellen Show", there was a round of applause in the studio.

  Andy Lake shook his fist vigorously, and the other ICNC TV executives who had been waiting all night couldn't help but applaud.

The ratings from Comcast and NBC really made ICNC couldn't bear it any longer. By the time Williams ended, ICNC's real-time ratings had reached 8.9 million, which is already a staggering number for Concast. All the channels of the Custer TV network have the highest viewing record in history. You must know that there are only ten million users of the Comcast TV network. You can imagine how many users watched this interview tonight!

   "Congratulations, Song!"

  Bryan Roberts also said to Song Yang with a smile on his face, Comcast TV network will also usher in a large wave of new subscribers tomorrow.
