Hong Kong's new giants

So after the meeting, Lin Zuhui left ATV's "God of Wealth" Li Baoan to explain the preparations for a backdoor listing.

Chapter 474 [Military Survival]

Hutchison Building.

Li Zekai looked at the newspaper news in his hand, and at the display screen on the wall, and couldn't help calling his subordinates in to criticize them; the citizens of Xiangjiang didn't know that Xiao Li was more ruthless in criticizing his subordinates than Lao Li.

"Why is our self-made program so poor, you don't know how to learn from others?"

At present, Dragon TV relies entirely on the rebroadcasting of American programs and the purchase of outdated American drama series, because Asians also like to watch American dramas, even if they are outdated, so they are quite popular.

Chen Qingxiang, CEO of Dragon TV, had no choice but to say: "I have learned it, but it is not ideal. At present, it seems that buying overseas programs is more popular."

"Nonsense. Now Asians also like to watch 'Hong Kong Stream'. You see, the audience on our five channels is no better than the audience on one channel of Asia Satellite TV. What are they relying on? Isn't it their own program? "

Dragon TV currently has less than 3000 million viewers, while Asia Satellite TV has 3900 million viewers; of course, most of the viewers here are overseas viewers, not Hong Kong viewers.Locally, Asia TV and TVB are still the absolute No. [-] and No. [-].

Chen Qingxiang couldn't help but retort: ​​"Hong Kong stream culture needs to accumulate experience. We don't have the production capacity yet, and we should be able to produce Hong Kong stream TV series next year."

Regardless of the difficulties, Li Zekai immediately asked Chen Qingxiang to produce Hong Kong stream programs as soon as possible, and he could follow suit.

Today's target was also Chen Qingxiang, and Li Zekai gave him some face. If it was replaced by other subordinates, he would have already been scolded to death.

Chen Qingxiang can only admit that he is unlucky. Dragon TV cannot compete with Asia Satellite TV. He takes it for granted; up.

What's more, the Hong Kong Stream culture is a systematic project. Don't you see that TVB is imitating it, but the effect can only be said to be so-so. After all, everyone has not systematically carried out the layout.

As for this young master's arrogance, Chen Qingxiang also felt helpless, as his reputation was far from his father's.

After Chen Qingxiang left, Li Zekai was still talking to himself: "I don't believe it, my five channels are no match for one of his channels. When the Cantonese channel comes out in August next year, we will have an advantage!"

It turned out that although Lin Zuhui did not prevent Dragon TV from launching the Cantonese channel, Wu Guangzhen of the cable TV station was a stalker. After a year of competition, Dragon TV won the right to broadcast Cantonese programs in July this year, but the effective date is next year (1993 year) in August.

The reason for this is that the cable TV station is still in preparation, and Wu Guangzhen does not want Dragon TV to seize the third rating of Hong Kong Cantonese Channel too soon; it is also because Wu Guangzhen and Li Zekai have been arguing for too long, and the two parties finally decided to reach an agreement.

Therefore, Shao Liushu's original cooperation plan could only go bankrupt in the end.

At that time, Shao Liushu and Li Chaoren had already negotiated a cooperation, but Wu Guangzhen forced him to go back.

After all, Wu Guangzhen invested billions of dollars to buy a cable TV license. Your Hong Kong government has collected so much money from Wharf, shouldn't you consider Wharf's opinion?

Little Xiangjiang has four TV stations and more than a dozen channels at once, cable TV has six channels, and Dragon TV has five channels... Of course, the ability to survive in the end is the key.

……

ATV obtained 3000 million US dollars from the sale of the copyright, and Shao Liushu and Fang Yathua naturally also saw the news.

The entire TVB TV station is now filled with a kind of "sadness". After being the overlord for more than 20 years, it was completely defeated by an opponent who once despised it. Only TVB people can understand the feeling.

That kind of feeling is definitely more uncomfortable than the feeling of ATV back then. After all, ATV is a 'bachelor', and if you can't do it, you can't do it.

For wireless people, being defeated is not the most terrible thing. Although ATV came up in 1990-1991, TVB still held back their energy and hoped to suppress them again as soon as possible.

It wasn't until this year that TVB's people discovered that ATV didn't take TVB as its opponent at all, but looked at the whole of Asia, and even the whole world.

People in Asian TV have said similar things. Their boss stopped watching TVB a few years ago, but wants to be the best TV station in Asia, and even go out of Asia. (In fact, Lin Zuhui never said anything like that.)

Run Run Shaw said to Fang Yat Wah: "Learning from ATV humbly, at least we still have the opportunity to be on an equal footing in Hong Kong. After all, we can still stabilize at [-]% of the ratings. Hong Kong culture must be systematically studied, and the original entertainment culture must not be missed."

Fang Yihua nodded and said, "What you said is that we have a wireless license after all, and we have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for more than 20 years. As long as you are proficient in Hong Kong culture, there will be no problem to be equal again."

She doesn't dare to say that she has overtaken it now, and she has some courage to sit on the same level, and [-]% of the ratings is the real goal.

The main reason is that ATV is constantly innovating, and it has captured audiences of all ages—grandmothers like to watch Hong Kong stream dramas, and young people like to watch Hong Kong stream programs. The important thing is that others have not abandoned the original entertainment methods.

In this year's Miss Asia competition, ATV invited Liming, Aaron Kwok, Zhou Xingchi and other hottest stars as guests, which was not weaker than the Hong Kong sister competition that invited Liu Dehua and Jacky Cheung, and even slightly won.

Even Wireless' last hole card has been revealed, this is what the media said. (Historically, this year's Miss Hong Kong ratings were 100%, because of the charm of the Four Heavenly Kings and Zhou Xingchi)

……

The security company behind the Lin family is called 'Leidun Security', and the legal person is He Jun, Lin Zuhui's former head of bodyguards.Of course, He Jun is only a legal person on the surface, and the management personnel of Leidun Security all report to Lin Zuhui.

At present, this company has officially appeared in Xiangjiang, and it also undertakes some work to the outside world, so as to achieve the effect of deceiving people.Leidun Security has its own training base, which is located in a remote place in Damaoshan.

Because of its remoteness, it attracted the curiosity of some people, such as JC and the community.

Lin Zuhui asked He Jun to come to him, and asked, "You are looking for two or three talents from our security company. What I want is people who are capable of surviving in the wild. They must be Chinese, preferably those who have served in the army. It also needs to be better, and the conversation must be good, and you must be able to speak Cantonese."

He Jun's first reaction was, isn't this himself!

"Boss, what do you think of me?" He Jun couldn't help but recommended himself, thinking he was going to accompany the boss on a business trip or something.

Lin Zuhui was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at He Jun. His image was quite "Baby Master". The important thing is that the scouts on the battlefield in the early 80s retired from the army, and Lin Zuhui could be selected by Lin Zuhui as the agent of the security company.

It's him!

Lin Zuhui said directly: "Do you want to be a star?"

"Ah?" He Jun was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to continue: "Boss, I'm already 32 years old!"

Lin Zuhui said: "It is for you to be an actor in a survival show. For example, if you are placed in a certain jungle, how many days do you need to survive and find people...Of course, you have to retrain for a year and a half, and the training includes survival in the wild." Skills, medical treatment, skydiving... In short, if ATV wants to make a show, it needs a protagonist. If you are interested, you must go through one and a half years of devil training and learning. Of course, if you become famous in one fell swoop, you may earn more. Think it over, discuss it with your family, and then tell me!"

At present, He Jun is basically the legal person and manager of the security company. He usually does not protect Lin Zuhui's surroundings, but he is the one who checks the security work.

But in any case, he is no longer undesirable.

After following Lin Zuhui for so many years, this benefit is given to him!

"Okay, I'll give the boss an answer later!"

He Jun was also a little uncertain, not because he was afraid of suffering, but because he was afraid that his income would decrease.He now has a salary of 100 million a year, married a beautiful wife and raised two children, so he has to think about his family more or less.

However, he also believed that the boss would not cheat him, so he planned to think about it all night before replying.

"Military Survival"?

Lin Zuhui couldn't help but think of a funny program name. ATV not only wants to be the originator of reality talent show, but also has to be the originator of reality survival.

If all goes well, it will start broadcasting in the autumn of 1994.

Let ATV pay and invest in He Jun to train various subjects systematically. No, the photographer must also be trained.

It's interesting to think about it.

Moreover, after imitating "Baby Survival", you can also introduce the Hong Kong Stream into the survival program, derive "The Law of the Jungle", and invite stars to do it together, which makes it even more interesting.Of course, this kind of show is beyond the millennium.

Chapter 475 [Severing the relationship between mother and daughter]

Thursday, November 11.

Tseung Kwan O, Asia TV City.

Gun salutes were fired, ribbons were fluttering, and guests were like a cloud, celebrating the opening ceremony of the 'Asia Television Building'.

This 28-storey building has an administrative office area, a dispatch center, and several small studios... With a first-class environment, it can provide the best dressing room and lounge for stars who come to participate in the program.

Only the ATV building is enough to meet the current needs of ATV; as for the remaining three video buildings (studios), they are prepared for future expansion.

In order to build this building, Asia TV paid another 1 million yuan for land subsidy to the Hong Kong government. This is because it is a benefit enjoyed by public utilities.Of course, Lin Zuhui also positioned this building as a semi-industrial and semi-commercial building, so he also received preferential treatment in land compensation fees.

On the top of the whole building, the big advertising words read 'ATV', 'Asian Television', and a Taiwan emblem, which is very eye-catching.In the previous life, Asia Television also designed A as a complicated symbol; in this life, Lin Zuhui naturally did not allow it. The simple three letters are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

For example, ABC and NBC in the United States, SBS in South Korea, etc., are all simple symbols, which are easy to remember.Of course, what really makes people remember is because of the strength of others.

Today's ATV (including Asia Satellite TV) is the leading TV station in Asia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most influential TV station; after all, ATV has overseas audiences in dozens of countries, and its influence is not limited to one place or one place. country.

On the square of the ATV building, Lin Zuhui was entertaining guests, including Fei Peng, Xinshe and other official representatives, all of whom attended the celebration.

Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the "Fat Peng Plan", and some rich people and celebrities jumped out to support it, but the smart rich people know that they should avoid suspicion.

The reason why merchants are merchants is because they need to achieve "circulation". In this case, they must consider not only doing business in the mainland, but also doing business in Xiangjiang and London.

So, the best way is to 'shut up' and do your own thing.

Ma Shimin from Hutchison Whampoa jumped out in a hurry, regarded Fei Peng as his idol, and made a fuss for his boss Li Chaoren, so he had to leave in the end.

The four big families are all smart people. None of Lee Shau Kee, Cheng Yu Tong, and Guo Bingxiang are in Fei Peng's business committee. Li Chaoren sent Li Zeju to be in charge.

As everyone knows, Fei Peng doesn't like his behavior, so Container Terminal [-] will not belong to Hutchison Whampoa.

In the past few years, it is impossible for Li Chaoren to get any preferential treatment from the Hong Kong government.

Lin Zuhui chatted relaxedly with everyone, even if he got together with the person in charge of Xinshe and Fat Peng, he could make the atmosphere harmonious, making people not only admire Lin Zuhui's communication skills.

The ceremony ended quickly and perfectly, and Lin Zuhui invited everyone to watch the 'Extraordinary Show'.

The so-called parade, the most eye-catching is the performance of the "Hong Kong Stream Culture" program. The theme songs of "Blue Life and Death" and "Dae Jang Geum" are sung in the form of performances, especially "Dae Jang Geum". They put on gorgeous Ming and Han costumes; of course, the performances of the boy group, girl group, mixing group, Li Zhenxian and others were also very exciting.

Hong Kong's entertainment industry can be said that Hong Kong Stream culture occupies half of the country, and Hong Kong Stream stars have countless fans, such as Liming of the Four Heavenly Kings, who became the most popular of the Four Heavenly Kings because of the filming of "Blue Life and Death", and the media even used 'No matter how red it is, it's not as red as the dawn' to describe his status.

Watching the performance on the stage, Lin Zuhui fell into it unknowingly, full of a sense of accomplishment.

During this period, Fei Peng asked: "Mr. Lin, it is said that ATV's overseas income is higher than that of Hong Kong?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "It's more than twice as high, and it's still increasing."

Fat Peng said in admiration: "It's amazing! I know you mentioned 'Hong Kong's culture revitalizes Hong Kong', 'Manga revitalizes Hong Kong', 'Chinese medicine revitalizes Hong Kong', you are different from other businessmen, you prefer innovation, you are a very talented businessman."

Lin Zuhui hurriedly said modestly: "Peng Du is serious. These are just ideas, and they are still in the embryonic stage. If one day it can be realized, it must be the credit of all practitioners. I am just a businessman."

Many people saw Lin Zuhui and Fei Peng chatting enthusiastically in front of them, and immediately lamented that Fei Peng is going to abandon Superman Li!

Fat Peng persisted in the one-hour program arrangement until the end, and finally asked Lin Zuhui to show him around ATV, and ended the inspection with satisfaction.

As you can imagine, everyone was shocked. ATV has grown to such a great strength, the number of employees, the company's equipment, and the office environment; people would not believe that it is a TV station in a city. This is at least a country with a large population. 'The scale of the headquarters TV station.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Lin Zuhui was naturally very proud.

In the previous life, TVB invested only 22 billion Hong Kong dollars in Tseung Kwan O Broadcasting in the millennium.

Today's ATV City has a total investment of 17 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is the result of cheap land costs; counting ten years of inflation, ATV City is equivalent to an investment of 21 billion at the beginning of the 40st century.

……

Ormen Casino.

Huang Sumei and her friend were betting at the same gambling table, but the two of them seemed to have lost miserably. Huang Sumei had lost her reason at this time and became a full-fledged gambler with a ferocious expression on her face.

"I don't believe in evil, so bad luck!" Huang Sumei said bitterly.

Seeing that Huang Sumei owed millions of dollars in gambling debts, her friend persuaded her, "Let's forget it! You haven't recovered from the 100 million yuan. If you continue to gamble, you won't be worth the money if you sell your daughter."

Huang Sumei's heart was hardened, and she immediately said: "Who told you that I need to sell my daughter. My daughter is now Lin Zuhui's lover. Tell me, it's nothing if I lose 100 million today. Even 1000 million is nothing."

As soon as the words fell, the people in the casino looked at Huang Sumei in disbelief. They didn't expect that this unattractive middle-aged woman had such a background.

At the beginning, everyone only knew that she had a daughter who was a TVB actress and Hong Kong sister. Now that she heard that her daughter is Lin Zuhui's lover, she was really shocked for a while.

Although this is Omen, Lin Zuhui is the richest man in Chinese, not to mention Omen, he is a well-known figure all over the world.

Huang Sumei was a little guilty, but a little proud.

The guilty conscience was because she had been warned not to talk nonsense outside; the proud thing was that everyone looked at her in shock.

"Who is in charge here, I want to borrow money!" Huang Sumei said with pride.

The Omen casino has already implemented the contract system - the junket VIP room, and then supply it to Macau Entertainment.The moneylender in the VIP room, hearing that Huang Sumei had such a relationship, naturally smiled and borrowed money.

……

In the suite of the Furama Hotel, Lin Zuhui held a newspaper in his hand and looked at Cai Shaofen who was standing there.

"Your mother lost money again?" Lin Zuhui said calmly.In fact, he was already tired of Cai Shaofen, and planned to find a way to get rid of him.

Cai Shaofen said pitifully: "Brother Hui, I... Mom lost a lot of money in Macau again, this time a little too much, please help her, she is being forced to pay her debts, and if she doesn't pay back the money, she will lose a lot of money." Hack her!"

Lin Zuhui is the type who is soft-hearted towards women, so he can't help but feel sorry for Cai Shaofen.

"how much is it?"

"800 million!"

"What? Losing 800 million at once, her appetite is getting bigger and bigger!"

"I don't know either. She used to lose a maximum of hundreds of thousands at a time. I don't know why this time!"

Lin Zuhui knew why, either because he was the richest man, which made Huang Sumei's appetite bigger, or people were cheated.

He handed the newspaper in his hand to Cai Shaofen, and said, "Look at the news above, I told you not to ask her to reveal the secret between us, and now everyone in Hong Kong and Macau knows about it."

Cai Shaofen was taken aback, and took the newspaper tremblingly. The scandal between her and Lin Zuhui appeared in front of his eyes, and the photo used was a photo of her mother in the casino.

"Brother Hui..." For a moment, Cai Shaofen didn't know what to say.
