Chapter 469 The Transformation of Noah's Ark, the Opportunity to Build One's Own Television Network
A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest.

Without Thomas Sindora as its pillar, the Sindora Corporation collapsed faster than anyone could have imagined.

It quickly showed signs of decline, which in turn attracted more and more covetous eyes, leading to a vicious cycle.

The world is bustling with activity, all driven by profit.

Countless greedy people sharpened their knives, ready to attack this "giant" that had lost its fangs.

Two fists can't fight four hands. Even with the size of the Sindora Corporation, it couldn't withstand so many attacks from all sides. Beset by internal and external troubles, the situation deteriorated.

Although its massive size gives it enough blood, if it cannot find a way to "cure" the continuous bleeding, it will eventually bleed to death and collapse.

Even Takeshi Ono never imagined that the once-great Syndora Corporation would fall into such a state.

This made him secretly wary.

Learning from past mistakes, the current Oni-no Group is somewhat similar to the Syndora Corporation. Although it cannot be said that it is entirely supported by him, there is no doubt that he is the irreplaceable backbone and a crucial figure.

Once it loses its protection, the Onino Group may very well follow in the footsteps of the Syndora Corporation.

Fortunately, there's no need to worry about such issues for the time being, since the expert on science is on his side, and ordinary dangers are unlikely to pose any threat to him.

Soon, Ono Takeshi put his worries aside.

The current state of Sindora Corporation is what he hopes to see, and it is also what Hiroki Sawada, or rather Noah's Ark, hopes to see.

This extremely unique entity, unknown to anyone in the world today, finally avenged the tragic fate of that young genius whose life was cut short at the age of ten.

After that, Ono Takeshi accidentally discovered that Noah's Ark seemed to have undergone a subtle change, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the change was. It seemed to be... more like a "person"!

Perhaps one day, that genius boy will truly return...

……

After entrusting his stock market affairs to Noah's Ark, Ono Takeshi paid no further attention to them.

With Noah's Ark's capabilities, the stock market and the Sindora Corporation are merely targets for exploitation; he only needs to sit back and collect the money without having to worry about anything.

Ono Takeshi then turned his attention to another aspect.

In this jubilant feast of dividing up the Sindora Corporation, the benefits he could enjoy were not limited to the stock market.

Although Syndora is primarily a game company, it doesn't mean it doesn't have other businesses, some of which are exactly what Takeshi Ono needs.

Thanks to the bizarre circumstances he displayed during the Thomas Sindora incident, others were more or less suspicious and wary of him. Therefore, when Ono Takeshi expressed his intention to acquire him, basically no one competed with him.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has chosen to focus on the entertainment and media industry, while established industrial conglomerates have not been involved in this area much.

What Oni no Takeshi values ​​most is the 17% stake that the Syndora Corporation owns in Forum Broadcasting.

Who is this company?

The Tribune Broadcasting Company's parent company is the Tribune Newspapers Corporation, founded in 1847 and a Chicago-based media giant.

It is the third largest newspaper group in the United States in terms of distribution, and the second largest in terms of operating revenue. Its business scope covers newspapers, television stations, radio stations, and digital media.

It owns ten daily newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times (the fourth largest newspaper in the United States), the Chicago Tribune (the sixth largest newspaper in the United States), the Newsday (the ninth largest newspaper in the United States), and the Baltimore Sun.

In addition, there are 23 television stations including WGN-TV (Chicago), WPIX-TV (New York), and KTLA (Los Angeles).

A true media giant!

The Forum Broadcasting Company is a subsidiary of the Forum Newspapers Group, which manages multiple local television stations across the United States, covering almost all major cities in the country.

In other words, this company owns television network distribution channels covering the entire United States!
And that's exactly what Oni no Takeshi values ​​and needs!

Ono Takeshi's goal is to build his own television network in America. He has no shortage of content, but the reason he has not taken action for so long is precisely because he lacks distribution channels!
America's television market has long been divided up. To squeeze in, one either needs to build a new television network with huge capital or "borrow" existing channels to "spread eggs"!
Ono Takeshi originally considered the first option, so he kept instructing the US branch to look for a suitable TV station, but there was no progress for a long time.

Negotiations remained deadlocked, either because the scale was too small or because the other party was making exorbitant demands.

The difficulty of accomplishing this was greater than Ono Takeshi had imagined.

Funding is secondary; however, building a television network from scratch is no easy task.
But now, Syndora's "bleeding out" has given Ono Takeshi new hope.

If I could acquire a stake in the forum broadcasting company, the distribution channel problem that has been troubling me would be easily solved.

It was even better than he had originally expected.

Rebuilding a television network is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cannot be accomplished overnight. The time cost and financial pressure of achieving nationwide coverage are bound to be daunting.

However, if we can leverage the existing channels of the forum broadcasting company, the difficulty and pressure will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Ono Takeshi is determined to acquire its shares!

According to the history of the previous life, Forum Broadcasting will partner with Warner Bros. next year, in 1995, to jointly establish The WB Television Network.

The former is responsible for content production, while the latter provides multiple local television stations under its umbrella as a broadcasting platform to ensure that WB can be broadcast throughout the United States.

Because America already had four major television networks at the time—ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX—the newly formed WB chose to focus on the 18-34 year old teenage and young audience market to avoid direct competition.

It mainly features youth idol dramas, fantasy dramas, and family dramas.

They produced excellent series such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Smallville", "Love Era", "Gilmore Girls", and "Basketball Brothers".

Incidentally, the animated series "Jackie Chan Adventures" was also broadcast on this television station's animation channel.

Without a doubt, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Therefore, upon learning that Syndora Corporation owned shares in Forum Broadcasting, Ono Takeshi's first reaction was excitement.

God helps me too!

Once I acquire these shares, I can emulate WB from my previous life and build my own television network!
Ono Takeshi was naturally unable to resist such temptation, so he almost immediately dispatched a professional team to plan and negotiate the acquisition, preparing to swallow this delicious piece of meat from the Sindora Corporation!

Soon, good news arrived.
