Chapter 619: The Shocking Hostess
December 1, 2018.
The lights are on.
The drizzle shrouded New York in a tragic wind and rain. The lights of thousands of homes decorated this commercial international city, bringing a hint of warmth to passers-by.
Next to Central Park.
A low-key townhouse standing in the cold rain, the brilliant lights shine the trees and roads around the building as bright as the daytime.
Adam Seifrosa, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sat on the sofa watching TV.
His face was rosy and energetic. Although he was over 80 years old and his temples were already gray, his silent and cold expression was intimidating. The TV opposite the sofa was playing various federal media, and there were few TV programs he would be willing to watch.
Among them is Columbia TV's [60 Minutes].
In fact, he has been on this interview program three times himself. And basically, every new American president is often invited to appear on this program when the election is just successful.
Among the elites of the American upper class, its status is no less than any formal interview program in China. It is even higher. After all, even the current President had never been invited to appear on this program before becoming president.
After becoming president.
I was interviewed once.
Unlike various talk show programs that ordinary people like, this TV program is more serious, more political and financial, and only real elites will pay attention to.
Simply put, it has a very high profile.
How high is it?
The founder of this program is a reporter from Mike Wallace. In 1986, he interviewed the second generation of the characters exclusively in China; in 2000, he visited the third generation of the characters again. Wallace is one of the founders of "60 Minutes". When he was 50 years old in 1968, he served as the reporter and host of "60 Minutes".
With his first-class professional skills, journalistic sensitivity, and respectable professional spirit, he and "60 Minutes" have gradually become a role model in the press in the United States and even the world. In addition to the second and third-generation Chinese directors, he has also interviewed American presidents such as Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Reagan, and interviewed leaders from all over the world such as Castro, Arafat, Kazha Fe, Assad...
Unlike other news columns, "60 Minutes" does not have a fixed column host, and only allows the reporters who appear in this program to give a brief comment in the studio. Its hosts are all reporters, and the reporters are also hosts. This is its requirement and its feature.
In addition to Wallace, its journalists and hosts include Dan Ruther, Harry Lessonner, Moly Seyfer, Leslie Starr and Ed Bradley.
Adam Seifrosa is also one of the audiences of this show.
In fact, almost any celebrity in business, politics, or finance are all viewers of this program, and those who can appear on this program are basically at the same level as them.
These big guys are naturally happy to know the guys of the same level as them. Their ideas, their views on business or politics.
It is precisely because of its high profile.
This has led to many ordinary elites being very interested in this show. It is rare to see so many high-quality people talking freely on TV interview programs.
【60 minutes】This program.
Do this.
Locking himself in the study alone, Adam Sefrosa found sadly that he could only see this grandson he hated and missed through the TV program.
Very soon.
After the beginning of a simple show.
As one of the most influential interview programs in the United States, this episode's [60 Minutes] officially started broadcasting.
It is not like those talk show with explosive ratings, where the hosts are often more serious. Naturally, there is no humorous joke in the show that makes everyone laugh easily.
However, at the beginning of the show tonight, Adam Seifrosa frowned a little because the reporters who appeared in this episode were not Dan Ruther, Harry Risenal and others who were familiar to them, who often watched the show.
She is a rare female host on the show, and she is not the previous Leslie Starr. She is another woman who was not in line with the previous serious interview program [60 Minutes].
She is not even a professional host or a professional journalist.
"This is ridiculous!" Adam Sefrosa couldn't help but widen her eyes when she looked at the "female reporter" who appeared on the camera.
Although the role of a reporter and a host who appears on camera in this show is not very good. It is impossible not to use a formal and excellent reporter or host, but to put such a somewhat ridiculous female star on it, right?
It's not just Adam Seifrosa who thinks that way.
Many American elites who are following this interview show also expressed the same views as him.

Buffett lives in the suburbs of Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska.
From the appearance, Buffett's house is a gray two-story building with a red maple planted in the yard. The door is surrounded by an iron gate and an iron fence. A surveillance camera is installed at the door, and there is a "patrol" security guard in the door. If a car is parked near the gate, the security guard will go out to drive it away. The amplifier on the surveillance at the door will also play "please move on" in a loop, urging the other party to leave.
That night, after seeing the reporter appearing on the [60 Minutes] interview program, it turned out to be a woman.
Even Buffett couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is Lei Shidong doing? He actually invited this woman! Is he trying to make a big news?!"
Buffett's wife was speechless: "This... I remember this is a singer. Could she be a journalist major in college?"
"Nothing!"
Buffett summarized.
…………
…………
About 1,800 miles from Omaha, the capital of the United States of America, inside Washington DC.
In a white round building.
After seeing the female reporter appearing on the screen, the country's nominal supreme leader even was the most extraordinary president in history.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, in front of his daughter who was also a little stunned, he suddenly laughed: "Lei Shidong is really interesting! The show tonight must be very good, and it probably won't be so monotonous! Hahaha!"
His daughter couldn't help but comment: "It will be very lively. I thought that even if you don't invite a male host or reporter, you will also invite Renee. You are such a legendary female reporter... I didn't expect that she would be such an amateur. Does she know how to be a reporter?"
"Haha! Don't worry! Let's just watch the fun!"
…………
…………
Orange County, Los Angeles.
Winnie Adams is also watching this show tonight with her entire campaign.
I didn’t expect that [60 Minutes] would have such a big news this time, not allowing professional journalists and hosts to come and interview the interview guests tonight.
"What a nonsense!" Winnie concluded, then added: "But it probably works well. The old guy Lei Shidong is really brave! Maybe even my dear, I don't know that this person is here to be the host!"
The elites of the team were confused. Even their active-minded people would never have thought that CBS would come like this.
…………

New York.
CBS Headquarters.
In the behind-the-scenes control room of the TV station, Lei Shidong, who was in his 90s, made a special trip from Los Angeles, standing among a large number of senior executives and directors in the TV station, laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"Looking at this ratings, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. The show has not officially started yet. It has already set a record, which is even better than when Wallace was alive!"
"Look! Tonight will definitely be a miracle in the history of TV interview programs. Now the ratings are more than the NBA Finals! This is a serious interview program, and this is not a talk show!"
Lei Shidong, who was scolded by many bigwigs who watched the show, is showing off his success in this decision to the management cost of CBS.
Although it also feels very nonsense.
But ratings represent everything. Susan Zlinsky, a senior producer who took over as the previous president, whispered: "It's really incredible. I think it's not necessarily possible to create a record of a TV show tonight."
"Who said no?!"
Lei Shidong said with certainty: "I'm sure!"
…………
…………
From Los Angeles to New York; from Washington DC to Omaha; from East Coast to West Coast; from America to Old Europe…
Even some Asian elites who are paying attention were incredible that such a woman appeared in a serious interview like [60 Minutes].
The interview with Abel Sefrosa was announced three days ago by CBS Columbia.
Such a new stock god, a new wealth myth, a new Buffett and Soros. From business to some political elites around the world, they are very interested in his various arguments and his self-view of the world economy and business.
This led to the beginning of the program, and the interview guest Abel Sefrosa, the main protagonist, has not appeared yet. [60 Minutes] The ratings of this already considerable program have been rising steadily.
Just didn't expect it.
The show has not officially started yet.
But Columbia Radio and Television has come out, allowing such an amateur woman to act as a reporter, and may even be the host of the film.
nonsense!
This is the common inner thought of most of the elites in the upper class who are paying attention to this show.
So, who acted as the reporter and the host of the film?
What made the audience react so much?
Chapter completed!
