Hong Kong's new giants

In fact, you can't make much money!

For example, investing in blue chip stocks, with his personal [-] million funds, it is estimated that he can only earn [-] to [-] million.

But the victory lies in accumulation!

Xiangjiang is still too small, a black swan event, can not make much money in the stock market!

But the victory lies in the sharp rise and fall, and the cycle of several years. If you seize every opportunity, it will increase your strength geometrically.

So Lin Zuhui is not in a hurry, and he is steadily increasing his wealth step by step.

After all, he couldn't afford to lose now.

Chapter 261 [Pursuit of Victory]

As the Seoul Olympic Games is approaching, the two TV stations in Xiangjiang are carefully preparing for broadcasting; Xiangjiang has maintained a tradition of more than 20 years, and has been broadcast by TVB and ATV (formerly Ladi) at the same time.

In his previous life, Qiu Degen wanted to broadcast with his family, so he signed a contract with the "Olympic Communication" organization and obtained the exclusive broadcasting right for 200 million US dollars;Fortunately, Uncle Shao Liu sued the court, using ATV to break the "gentlemen's agreement" of more than [-] years to broadcast the Olympics simultaneously, so that the TVB viewers could not see the Olympic grandeur.Finally, the court ruled that the two broadcasts at the same time.

Just because Lin Zuhui knew the result, he didn't play tricks like this. Instead, he bet heavily on He Shouxin.

In the previous life, the two TV stations fought fiercely over MC He Shouxin; ATV first signed a contract with He Shouxin and gave him a high commission of 200 million; Immediately terminate the contract with ATV, and re-sign with TVB to get paid again.In the end, things got too big, and He Shouxin still didn't host for TVB. He didn't do anything, and was happy in Canada with 350 million.

What kind of person is He Shouxin? He is an "old courtier" of Xiangjiang TVB, a gold medal master of ceremonies, and an expert in sports.In the previous life in 1990, Huang Zhan and He Shouxin were the hosts of ATV and Wireless World Cup football matches respectively. Although Huang Zhan had excellent eloquence, he still lost to He Shouxin in football knowledge. The coach of ceremonies had to be He Shouxin.

……

When ATV announced why the Olympic emcee and coach kept his word, TVB was also blown away.

Originally, TVB thought that since He Shouxin immigrated to Canada, he didn't think about it; now that ATV got there first, TVB immediately lost a point.

Since the second half of the year, ATV's ratings have been rising. With the two programs "Big Times" and "Awarded Men", they have gained the attention of many citizens.

In particular, "Big Times" is comparable to "Shanghai Bund" back then, attracting a large number of fans.And this time the protagonist of "Big Times" is not Liu Qingyun, because he was not dug over, but instead handed over to Luo Jialiang who dug from Wireless.

In fact, Lin Zuhui felt that Fang Zhanbo played by Liu Qingyun in his previous life was not outstanding, so he didn't insist.Guo Aiming, one of the heroines, also did not join the show business circle, and used actors from ATV.In fact, the most outstanding character in the whole play is of course Zheng Shaoqiu. Although the character is a villain, he is really impressive.

Just like in the previous life, Shao Liushu, who has always been stingy, made an appointment to meet He Shouxin in Hong Kong, and offered a favor fee of 350 million just like in the previous life.

He Shouxin smiled wryly, and said, "Uncle Liu, thank you for your attention. It's not that I don't want to come to TVB, but that ATV signed a formal contract with me, and specially noted that the liquidated damages are as high as 1000 million! Perhaps, their shrewd boss figured it out." Let's do this!"

Sixth Uncle Shao was taken aback, there was such a contract!

"How could you agree to such a contract at that time, you are so confused!"

He Shouxin said: "I think my worth is only 200 million yuan. They offered 300 million yuan and various benefits, so I think I can agree. After all, I didn't expect that you value me so much!"

Shao Liushu returned disappointed, and He Shouxin couldn't help sighing, the new boss of ATV is a master, and he had already calculated that Liu Shu would come to poach people.He didn't think too much about it at the time, and felt that there was no possibility for him to miss the appointment, so he happily earned an extra million, why not do it!

……

Lin Zuhui was also in ATV's office and met the three major carriages of ATV's drama department, namely ATV director Zhao Zhenqiang, director of drama department Li Zhaoxiong, and deputy director Xu Xiaoming.

TVB's drama series are too strong, Lin Zuhui has to participate in some work himself, of course, he only needs to formulate the general direction.

Lin Zuhui first asked: "How are the preparations for the family fashion drama (commonly known as 'production drama') going?"

This is the direction that Lin Zuhui gave to the drama department, so that ATV will focus on shooting such TV dramas. Most of the content is about the struggle of interests and grievances and grievances of the upper class in Hong Kong. There are many episodes, many characters, fast-paced and complex plots, but most of them are good and evil distinct.

Of course, Lin Zuhui only liked to watch "The Great Times" and "Genesis" in his previous life, because these two dramas were about the stock market and real estate, so he was very interested.He did remember that there were family fashion dramas about jewelry families, fashion dramas about clothing, and department stores, but he didn't remember the content, and there was no way to copy them.

However, since ATV has given direction to the drama department, and this kind of drama has not yet risen, ATV has a great chance.

"We have prepared a commercial drama series about the department store industry. This is the script!" Li Zhaoxiong had already prepared and handed over a document.

Lin Zuhui didn't look at it, but said: "Anyway, remember what I said, human nature should be portrayed through pros and cons, the grievances between families, the excitement of business wars, the entanglement of emotions, etc. The rhythm is fast and the plot is complicated. Keeping this style, you can also create a high-quality series like "Big Times"."

The three of them nodded one after another. It can be said that "The Great Times" has achieved unprecedented success!

"I'll read the script first, you choose the characters yourself, anyway, the protagonist is Zheng Shaoqiu!"

"Well, Qiuguan can control whether he plays a decent character or a villain. This time he plays an optimistic, affectionate, insightful, and business-savvy protagonist."

Lin Zuhui thought of Wan Ziliang in an instant, but this one didn't get ATV, so he had to rely on Qiu Guan as the face.

Lin Zuhui still has a "Genesis" script in his hand, which he intends to produce in 1989. As for after the 90s, that is the business of his subordinates.I can't, really let myself support ATV alone!

"Well, shooting according to your schedule! I've read the script, and if I have any comments, I'll let you know."

"it is good!"

A TV station produces about 20 serials a year, and the total production cost is calculated at [-] million yuan, which shows that the expenditure is huge.

In the end, Lin Zuhui left the director Zhao Zhenqiang.

"I think of a big production, so I plan to let you prepare it in secret!"

Zhao Zhenqiang was shocked immediately, and thought to himself, could it be another "Big Times"-level script with the ratings champion?

He came to ATV through TVB. "Big Times" was produced by Li Zhaoxiong and Xu Xiaoming, two ATV veterans. Now the boss has asked him to prepare a big drama alone. It seems that he has won the trust of the boss.

In fact, in the current ATV, Lin Zuhui's prestige is far higher than Zheng Yutong!

One is that he is young, and the other is that he is professional!

"Boss, tell me!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, took out a piece of information and handed it to Zhao Zhenqiang, and said: "I like to read some ancient books, especially Bao Qingtian, a historical figure, so I collected some information and sorted it out in a simple way! Shooting hundreds of episodes, the production is unique in Xiangjiang. So I plan to ask you to go to Taiwan CTS to find them and see if they are willing to work together. I even wrote Bao Qingtian and other actors on it, yes An actor from Taiwan!"

His manuscript is very simple. First of all, it is divided into more than a dozen plots (I can't remember all of them), including "The Case of the Beauty", "The True and False Champion", "The Civet Cat for the Prince", "Five Rats in Tokyo" and so on.The specific plot notes are for the screenwriter to deal with, and more ancient books are checked; the characteristics of the characters are also noted, Bao Qingtian added some kindness, especially highlighting that Qingtian also has a side of seven emotions and six desires; Royal cats and such.

He can provide a lot of references, and the leading actors Jin Chaoqun, He Jiajin, and Fan Hongxuan all remember clearly;

The script was originally changed according to folk stories, so this drama will not deviate too much from the previous life.

And He Jiajin was originally from ATV. He joined Taiwan China Television this year and is cooperating with Jin Chaoqun and Fan Hongxuan.

Iron triangle!

Zhao Zhenqiang heard the words and reminded: "Boss, there may not be a market for regular dramas in Hong Kong!"

This is a common understanding among Hong Kong people. When Uncle Shao Sixth hand-picked the broadcast of "Bao Qingtian" on Taiwan Island in his previous life, some people in TVB thought that Uncle Shao was a fool.Even ATV responded quickly and broadcast "Bao Qingtian" at the prime time, because of the staggered time, the ratings were also very good.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I am definitely not as good as you in terms of professionalism, but you are definitely not as good as me in terms of vision! Once this drama is successfully filmed, it will not only be successful in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, but will also be sold to the mainland and Southeast Asia. As long as you are Chinese, you will definitely like it." The role of Bao Qingtian."

Zhao Zhenqiang nodded. Lin Zuhui is the boss. Since the boss is so confident, he has no reason not to work hard to complete a big production.

"How to divide the interests between that island and us?"

"We invest as much as possible. What I need are some Taiwanese actors, screenwriters, and directors. I am not short of money! However, we should cooperate as much as possible. Even if they claim that the script and shooting account for a large proportion, as long as we invest a large proportion That's fine! After all, we still lack a lot of energy in filming the main drama! If they don't want to cooperate, it's fine to pay them to film, and keep in touch with me!"

Zhao Zhenqiang said: "Well, I understand what the boss means!"

After Zhao Zhenqiang left, Lin Zuhui leaned on the seat, thinking, this is to copy everything he can copy in the 80s.

His idea is to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, to establish an equal share of strength with TVB in one fell swoop, and then, relying on the abundance of talents, he can ensure that ATV's ratings will not drop.

And some programs can even have a long life, and the copyright income can also exceed TVB by a lot.For example, in "Who Is a Millionaire", the Yankees and the Brits are so rich, they must have paid hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.After all, US dollars and British pounds are used there, which are very valuable!

Using these copyright revenues, ATV’s pressure is greatly reduced. If it earns more advertising fees, it may be [-]% to [-]% of the TVB’s profits every year (the ratings are not equal to advertising fees, and TVB’s advertising fees account for [-]% to [-]% of Hong Kong’s advertising fees. to make).

Chapter 262 [Strike the enemy in advance]

end of August.

On Saturday, Lin Zuhui came to the News Building, which is the headquarters of Wanhui Media, the largest media group in Xiangjiang. Its daily newspapers and magazines are the number one in sales in Xiangjiang, and it is also the overlord of Xiangjiang's comics industry.

Just this month, Wanhui Media announced that the annual profit of the integrated group company will reach more than 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars.In the case of poor market performance, Wanhui Media rose against the market, and its market value was as high as 18 billion at one point, but eventually fell back to 16 billion.

At present, the property value of Wanhui Media has risen to more than 7 million yuan, while its liabilities are at 5 million yuan, all of which are liabilities arising from the acquisition of Yulang Group.

Even Huang Yulang couldn't figure out (the judgment has not yet been made) how Wanhui Media successfully acquired Yulang Group with only 5 million yuan. After all, in his eyes, Yulang Group was worth at least 10 billion yuan.

In fact, in the eyes of professionals, it is to privatize Yulang Group, which has not performed well, and then sell the assets of Yulang Group. The final result is to use the money of Yulang Group to repay the debt of Yulang Group .

Luo Bencheng was recruited and asked about the integration of the comic business department. At the beginning, Lin Zuhui meant to 'delist' the Yulang Group and integrate it into the Wanhui Comic Business Department; Yulang Group' name, in order to facilitate cooperation in foreign countries issued.

After all, many foreign publishing houses only know about the 'Yulang Group', but not the comic business department of Wanhui Media.

Of course, this is just a temporary measure for the past few years, and it will be removed after a few years.

"Our comic business department has integrated Yulang Group and Fengyun Comics. Although the two comic publishing houses operate independently, the business department can fully manage and manage them... At present, we have cooperation with publishing houses in Japan, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Cooperation has been successfully negotiated; now there are markets in South Korea and Canada that are being explored, and we will enter these markets one after another.”

"What about Taiwan Island?"

"We have been cooperating in the first half of the year!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. He knew that Huang Yulang's comics could enter the markets of these countries and regions, so he didn't feel that he was losing money at all!

"Is there any hope that the profit of the comics industry will exceed 1.2 million next year!" Lin Zuhui asked hopefully.

Originally, Yulang Group’s comic profit was 8000 million, while Fengyun Comic’s annual profit was more than 2000 million; this is already a profit of 1 million. Opening up foreign markets, coupled with local profit growth, how can it be It has to be increased to 20%.

Luo Bencheng promised: "It can definitely increase by 20%, and the annual profit will be more than 1.2 million!"

Lin Zuhui calculated the profit and loss of the acquisition of Yulang Group!

If a certain growth rate is maintained every year, the Yulang Group alone should pay back its capital in four years (costing 20 million).And Huang Yulang estimated that in four or five years, he could go back to the mountain again.Of course, even if Huang Yulang came out, he would at most get a share of the pie, and it would be good if he could capture [-]% of the market!

In any case, there is no problem for Yulang Group to earn another 10 billion yuan in the future; the copyrights of comics such as "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Chinese Heroes" belong to Yulang Group, not Huang Yulang himself, so they can still earn in the future. point.

Finally, Lin Zuhui took out a stack of materials with some trepidation in his heart, and handed them to Luo Bencheng.

"Here is an outline of a Japanese manga about basketball. I hope you go to Japan to set up a studio and hire a Japanese manga writer to complete it. And in the name of the studio, cooperate with a Japanese publishing house."

Luo Bencheng was a little puzzled, how could a Hong Kong comics club still create Japanese comics.

But since the boss said so, he can only work hard to complete it.

"Well, I started preparing recently!"

Lin Zuhui added: "There are a lot of notes on this, which is what the master of this outline pays special attention to me and needs to pay attention to! So, you take care of the main writer and respect the original work!"

"Slam Dunk" is a manga he remembers deeply in his previous life, and it is also the only Japanese manga that Wanhui Comics can "plagiarize".Even if you don't succeed, you won't lose much money.

"Okay, I will take care of it! But boss, if it is published in Japan, the publishing house will definitely make a lot of money!"

"Well, I know! But if we create it, at least it will be more cost-effective than selling "Dragon Tiger Gate"! And once the manga becomes famous, the copyright of the animation can be sold at a higher price! If we can use the name of the studio, then If you take a stake in a medium-sized publishing house, you can also consider it."

Luo Bencheng was taken aback, the boss valued the comic outline so much, thinking of the boss's legendary experience, Luo Bencheng was also a little curious.

"Okay, I will investigate carefully and come up with the best plan for the company!"

After Luo Bencheng left, Lin Zuhui touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed about plagiarizing Riman.

It is mainly a Chinese-funded comic agency, but it is obviously a bit abrupt to go to Japan to set up a studio and create Japanese manga.

But when I think about it, if "Slam Dunk" is successful, I am afraid that its IP value will surpass the sum of "Fengyun", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and other comics!

Although it is impossible to open a publishing house in Japan, the IP is in the hands of the studio after all. Whether it is manga serialization, manga booklets, anime adaptations, peripherals, or future game copyrights, it will all belong to the studio in Japan.If Japanese publishing houses and animation companies want to buy copyrights, they can make a lot of money.

He is also thankful, fortunately, he remembers this manga. If he really remembers a lot, he won’t be plagiarized, and he won’t be reconciled if he doesn’t. Even if others see Huazi behind this studio, they feel very strange.

And "Slam Dunk" is much better. After all, basketball is a popular sport in the United States, and this manga is just a map of Japan; Personality traits, storylines, etc.

If Hong Kong were as big as Taiwan Island, Lin Zuhui felt that he would not need to go to Japan to set a map; but Hong Kong has only three districts, so we can't hold a "Hong Kong Basketball Competition"!

Therefore, the Japanese elements of "Slam Dunk" are relatively small and can be copied.

Long Jingchang, the general manager of Wanhui Media, Zhao Han, the executive director, and Liang Guanhui, the director, came to Lin Zuhui's office together.

Lin Zuhui said: "The three of you are preparing for one thing recently, and that is to discuss cooperation with Zheng Jinghan!"

The three of them were a little confused. Isn't this Zheng Jinghan the boss's defeat, his former opponent?

Lin Zuhui saw the doubts of the three people and explained: "There have never been so-called enemies in the market, and there are only interests. At present, the stock price of Zheng Jinghan's listed company is sluggish, and the market value is only a little over [-] million. At this time, it is a good idea for us to invest in his listed company. Because I have an idea for a magazine, but this magazine will cause too many disputes, so I don't want to let Wanhui Media get into troubled waters, after all, we don't need to take risks!"

The three of them nodded this time. It turned out that they were using others, and of course they were promoting others.

Long Jingchang said: "Zheng Jinghan can be regarded as a talent in the publishing industry. The Chinese version of "Playboy" is a high-end men's magazine second only to our "FHM", with a monthly sales volume of 6 copies ("FHM" sells 16 copies). Ben); "Sunday Weekly" is also the fourth-ranked gossip weekly in terms of sales volume, with a monthly sales volume of 5 copies; he also has several magazines that have sold over [-] copies, and his ability is still very good, but he met the boss."

Zhao Han said: "Zheng Jinghan currently holds more than 40% of the shares of Baile Group. If we support him, at least let Baile Group issue 30% of new shares to ensure our interests. Moreover, Baile Group's The second shareholder was originally the Sing Tao Group, we must let Zheng Jinghan choose an ally again!"

Everyone nodded, but they knew that the boss's idea must be very profitable, and naturally he had to hold 30% of the shares; and after Zheng Jinghan's shares were diluted, it should only be more than 30%.

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, go and talk to Zheng Jinghan! Tell him, let Baile Group issue new shares, and we Wanhui Media will subscribe. Paramount can get a sum of development funds and a good project. Tell him, follow Wanhui Media is far better than being with Sing Tao Group."

Long Jingchang said: "Boss, don't worry, with your influence, Zheng Jinghan will not stop cooperating!"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Don't tell him it's my idea, the future development of the company will be decided by the board of directors!"

"Yes!"

Lin Zuhui continued: "Although I came up with this idea, you must keep it secret! Importantly, if we succeed in becoming a shareholder of Baile Group and hand over the plan to Baile Group, Zheng Jinghan must be their idea to the outside world." .”
