Although the pace of relative deregulation of the British media industry has accelerated since the 1980s, such as the issuance of wireless TV licenses, cable TV licenses and satellite TV licenses in the field of television, the BBC, backed by the huge public finance paid by all British families, still has a unique advantage in commercial media competition, Obviously, it makes peers envy, envy and hate, and then there are all kinds of games around issues such as canceling TV license fees and restricting their involvement in entertainment program production.
At present, Murdoch's media kingdom is naturally squeezed by its peers in the UK, including the BBC. Its controlled Sky TV station has an audience of nearly 9 million in Europe. From the perspective of commercial operation, it still performs poorly. Just take the data in the financial statements, and the annual advertising revenue is less than 20 million US dollars, Compared with the early investment of satellite TV, a new thing, into large-scale commerce, it is really not enough.
For this situation, Medor's solutions include using more advanced satellite transmission technology to send the signal directly to the audience receiving terminal, bypassing the link that the satellite signal is too weak and has to be stripped from the middle disk by cable TV. However, the more important method is to expand the business scale of sky satellite TV, that is, increase the number of TV channels and establish a TV network.
Unfortunately, among the five consortia that appeared in the recent British satellite TV license auction, the British Satellite Broadcasting Corporation finally won, and the consortia that Murdoch participated in was out.
Therefore, Sky TV will continue to lose money, and the loss in the latest financial year was 10 million pounds.
It is said that Murdoch can survive this loss figure, but his mind to make a breakthrough in the field of TV media is more urgent. He can't afford to lose so much on TV investment in the United States and Britain.
So now, as soon as Sir Gao came up with an idea, Murdoch was moved. We must not miss the opportunity to help Sky TV expand its momentum. This is the essence of promoting with interests.
Of course, it is undeniable that Thatcher's government has increasingly formed a consensus that the BBC is necessary to exist, but it should be limited to unlimited expansion, which is also a major reason why Murdoch did not feel any pressure of governance.
"Does Sir Gao have any good entry points?" Murdoch asked eagerly.
Gao Xian carefully handed a file bag to Murdoch, containing two reports and attached photos. "Here are only a few confirmed cases investigated by private detectives, but there are absolute reasons to believe that they are not accidental, but long-term and numerous. You have a stronger ability to master media investigation, so you can further verify them accordingly."
In fact, for Gao Xian, these things are completely "according to the picture", one by one, but he still suggested that Medor might as well make a wider verification, which has something to do with bad taste.
You know, decades later in the "old script", the eavesdropping scandal of News Corporation was exposed, which beat Murdoch extremely embarrassed. I believe that the media kingdom it controls has a good set of investigative skills, so you might as well take this opportunity to show it.
Naturally, Murdoch was very curious about the big killing weapon that Sir Gao sought. He couldn't wait to open it on the spot and check it. Then his face looked wonderful, because it was related to aggression and abuse. One was around the place, the orphanages in gwynes and kluyd, North Wales, and the other was around celebrities, It's Jimmy Saville, the BBC host.
Patiently waiting for Medor to finish browsing, Gao Xian asked, how about this entry point?
Murdoch replied with admiration that Sir Gao's good means is a sensational entry point. After all, civilized society has conscience and does not involve Zhengzhi disputes, which makes it highly operable.
Gao Xian smiled and woke up. If you are worried that the BBC will be embarrassed by the exposure of Jimmy Saville's scandal and move your anger to News Corporation, you can adjust the operation sequence like a film clip, first expose the scandal of North Wales orphanage, and then pull out Jimmy Saville's scandal.
The old routine of exciting generals, even if it is seen through by the parties, often has its effect. After all, the scene is very important.
Murdoch waved his hand indifferently. News Corporation has nothing to fear. It only gives priority to the effect of media coverage.
"Then I'll wait for News Corporation to turn over its hands for the cloud and cover its hands for the rain." when Gao Xian left, he didn't forget to tell Murdoch that it's best to move faster. Baron Victor Rothschild is exerting influence on the BBC board to replace alasdale Milne, the president of the BBC who specifically controls the production of program content, This favor to Mrs. Thatcher depends on who is fast.
Medor naturally understood the mystery, and then deployed quickly. He did not doubt the authenticity of the materials provided by Sir Gao, but based on this, collected more themes and studied how to report specifically, so as to make the most sensation and save a lot of time and resources.
At the same time, Murdoch, who attaches great importance to family inheritance, called his eldest son Lachlan Murdoch, who is not old enough to go to college, to watch and accumulate professional experience.
Born in a prominent family, Lachlan Medor is naturally not as ignorant as most ordinary peers. He has enough understanding of the current operation as his father hopes.
For example, Lachlan Medor asked his father, although we can get enough benefits from so much trouble, are we not suspected of being used by Sir Gao?
Murdoch smiled and patiently explained that each took what he needed.
The BBC was disgusted. While Sir Gao wanted revenge, he also paved the way for attending the Bilderberg meeting a few months later, conveying the meaning that he, a newcomer from the East, was not easy to bully.
It is true that we have virtually become Sir Gao's knife now, but this favor will have to be paid back when news Corporation fully enters Asia and needs more funds to operate in the future. When sending you to Xiangjiang to develop business in the future, sir Gao should also remember our friendship.
Lachlan Murdoch suddenly felt that Sir Gao from Xiangjiang was very energetic. Otherwise, his father would not pay so much attention to him.
Murdoch did deploy with his heart, and the result was that once the scandal was exposed, it shocked Britain and the world.
In particular, there are many signs that the executives of the BBC should have known about Jimmy Saville's activities long ago, but they are indifferent to it. It is to blame that they immediately make the BBC One of the targets of verbal and written criticism, such as Britain's fourth station and the British Independent Television Network, scrambling to follow Sky TV and report.
In this case, the BBC had to apologize, the people involved were dismissed or resigned, and even began to shake the position of BBC President alasdale Milne.
Is it okay for you not to leave after such a big accident?
Alasdale Milne has long been aware that the newly appointed chairman of the board of directors of the BBC, maduk Hersey, has the intention to change himself, but he has been holding on. I won't go if I eat with my professional skills, but now I can't stand it.
With such a big mistake, how can we calm the public anger? Only take the blame and resign!
When maduke Hersey first reported the news of alasdale Milne's resignation to the British Prime Minister's office, Mrs. Thatcher was angry and relaxed. Victor Rothschild didn't help alasdale Milne's departure.
