Chapter 168: Atari's Counterattack

Li Xuan didn't like to eat bread and milk for breakfast, so the Filipino maid went to the restaurant to buy morning tea in advance. (First appearance) Li Xuan ate a basket of shrimp dumplings with half a bowl of white porridge. After breakfast, he picked up the newspaper he just bought on the table.

The new program that ATV launched last night really attracted a lot of attention. For example, the "Oriental Daily" that Li Xuan was holding in his hand has not had time to wait for the ratings of the first issue of "Who Can Be a Millionaire" last night. , there are already writers in the column writing articles related to the show overnight.

In the first issue of "Who Can Become a Millionaire" last night, seven contestants participated in the answering questions, but only two of them could really get the prize money. The most unfortunate one has accumulated a bonus of 300,000 yuan, but unfortunately, he didn't take it as soon as he saw it, and finally fell short. Therefore, this article of "Oriental Daily" analyzes the problem of how to choose from the perspective of game theory.

"Ring-Ring-Ring-!" The urgent phone rang.

"A Xuan, eldest brother has something to do with you!" Zhong Chuhong answered the phone and said a few words, then turned her head and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stood up, walked over to the sofa and took the microphone: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Today, there was a report in the Hong Kong Times that I and the underworld were insinuated, and I called you to tell you in advance, and I will resolve this matter!" Li Ke's voice was a little hoarse on the phone. .

"Brother, how are you going to solve it?" Li Xuan frowned.

"Of course I'll ask a lawyer to report to them! I'm a good citizen. Can their newspapers slander other people's innocence without any evidence? Even if there is press freedom in Hong Kong, it's not like this!" Li Ke was on the phone. He smiled lightly, "Don't worry. I won't mess around!"

"Yeah!" Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, his eldest brother is now more and more like a businessman. He didn't take it to heart, "I heard that you have invested a lot in the deep-sea special zone?"

"After you transferred most of Feihong's shares to Ah Hao. I'm too embarrassed to continue to be annoying in the company, so I just quit and become a minority shareholder who only eats dividends!" Li Ke didn't hide anything from his brother, "I also I don't want to waste the relationships I built up before, so I simply opened a new company to invest in the mainland. Brother Qiang and Uncle Jian also invested some money in the new company, and now they have been stabbed out of nowhere, the Hong Kong Times reported today Make a big fuss about this, saying that the northern special zone is mixed with fish and eyes, and uses the money from the underworld-society to engage in economic development!"

Li Xuan shook his head. The Hong Kong Times is one of the KMT-party properties in Hong Kong. The newspaper has been losing money for many years, and it relies entirely on the rent of the Times Building, which is also owned by the Kuomintang-Party party, to fill the funding hole. One of the most important missions of this newspaper is to trouble the north.

"Get out as soon as possible, don't get caught in the muddy waters of the two sides fighting!" Li Xuan told his eldest brother on the phone.

After Li Ke put down the microphone, his face became gloomy. He knew that he had suffered a disaster this time, and he just wanted to live in peace and make money, but since someone bullied him, he was by no means a dough for others to knead.

"Akun, find someone to find out for me. Who sent the Hong Kong Times article, and sent someone to crucify the author to me, but no one can touch him without my order!" Ke naturally will not act rashly.

Finished commanding his brothers. Li Ke picked up the phone again and dialed a number: "Ahao, I'm Li Ke, do you have time to eat together at noon! ... Are you in the mainland? ... I just have to go in the morning. Let's go to the Zhuyuan Hotel for lunch together!"

Li Ke put down the phone and frowned slightly. Last year, his younger brother transferred 60% of Feihong Properties to his name. 40% of them were soon sold to Lin Guitai at a price of HK$15 million, and Lin Guitai directly put this part of the equity in the name of his youngest son Lin Yuhao. In this way, Lin Yuhao owns 80% of Feihong Real Estate. Li Ke took advantage of the situation to resign as the deputy general manager of Feihong Company, and was only a minority shareholder who received dividends.

He has also learned a lot in Feihong Real Estate over the past year. He has a huge sum of tens of millions on hand, so he simply set up a real estate company to be the boss, and still cooperates with the Special Administrative Region Housing Authority to invest in real estate. He Letang's uncle Jian Jian, and Li Ke's former boss Dao Scar Qiang also hoped to become a shareholder. With the idea of ​​making money together, he also refused to come, but he didn't expect to become a handle in the hands of others.

Li Ke's newly established real estate company has just developed its first real estate not long ago, and it is still following the route of Feihong Real Estate selling uncompleted properties in Hong Kong. Right now Hong Kong rightist newspapers suddenly target him, attacking the mainland's use of underworld money for economic development. Li Ke is entangled in the political-governance murky waters.

It would be fine if he was alone, but the "Hong Kong Times" obviously insinuated that he also brought his younger brother, which is not something he can bear. Li Ke's mind was not confused. The best thing to do at this time was to get out in time, and there would be time for revenge. That's why he called Lin Yuhao to invite him to dinner. If possible, he hoped that Feihong Real Estate could acquire the project in his hand. After all, the uncompleted property had already been bought. It's a sure-fire deal.

After Li Xuan hung up the phone, he put the matter aside. Since his eldest brother said he could handle it, it would definitely be alright. His eldest brother is now a well-known God of Wealth in Heletang. He runs a real estate company and a film company. It is said that he will invest in an electronics factory in the north recently.

"My brother also opened a film company?" Li Xuan asked his girlfriend with a smile.

"Well, it's called the Family Fun Film Company. It was originally called the Hutchison Film Company. After two films were made and they lost money, the eldest brother came forward to take over the company!" Zhong Chuhong said gently.

Family Fun Pictures was originally a company run by a big boss in Heletang. He saw that the film industry was very popular, and he wanted to enter the scene to make a fortune. He invited people to shoot films with sticks. As a result, most of the crew and actors who were forcibly put together were perfunctory, and the film was simply a bad movie that no one watched.

Later, he transferred the company to Li Ke, and Li Ke specially asked Zhong Chuhong to ask some insider things about the film industry. Zhong Chuhong simply introduced Li Ke to Zeng Zhiwei, and the two had a deep chat several times. After that, the first thing Li Ke did after taking over the film company was to change the name, throw away the rotten signboard and rename it as the Family Fun Film Company.

After the company changed its name, Li Ke asked Zeng Zhiwei to help and invite some people in the circle to have dinner together, to ensure that everything in the new company would follow the rules of the industry. not less.

Well-informed people also know the background behind the family carnival company, and they will definitely not want to offend if they can sell face. Even if he really can't get away, Li Ke is very polite and never blames him. His style of doing things is completely in accordance with the practice in the circle. Although the recent films of Family Fun Pictures have made profits and losses, the company's reputation has gradually become louder.

Listening to Zhong Chuhong's brief introduction, Li Xuan could also guess that his eldest brother had made this film company, and he was probably responsible for laundering money for He Le Tang. However, the inflow of corporate funds into the film industry was very common in Hong Kong in the 1980s. The prosperity of Hong Kong films has a lot to do with the inflow of these funds.

"How is the merger plan between your company and ATV going?" Li Xuan asked, looking at his girlfriend's beautiful face.

ATV has a large number of actors and behind-the-scenes talent resources. Seeing that the Hong Kong film industry is becoming more and more prosperous, Zhou Liang Shuyi also has the idea of ​​taking a share of the pie, so she decides to acquire Asian Film and Television. Although the major shareholders of the two companies can be said to be almost the same person, there are other shareholders in both companies, and the acquisition is completely in accordance with the normal business process.

"I'll give Zeng Zhiwei full responsibility for this matter!" Zhong Chuhong's twinkling eyes were full of smiles, "As long as he and Wang Jing don't think it's a loss!"

Backed by a big tree, it is good to enjoy the shade. If Asian film and television can be invested in ATV, it can use ATV's huge resources, and even if it is negotiating with theaters, it will be more confident. Zeng Zhiwei, the company's president, would naturally not object to holding such a thick thigh. But how much is the specific value of Asian Films, this is a matter of vital interests, and he must compare it with money. After all, the price of Lei, the previous owner of the Golden Princess Cinema, was not low when he wanted to buy shares.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently, and nodded to his girlfriend. Then the phone rang again. Li Xuan picked up the microphone, and the smile on his face disappeared before he said a few words. He greeted Zhong Chuhong and immediately returned to the company.

Li Xuan walked into the conference room of Dongfang Game Company. Du Wenqiang and Han Peng were sitting there with brows furrowed. The others didn't even dare to catch their breath.

"I couldn't explain what happened on the phone just now~www.wuxiaspot.com~?" Li Xuan asked.

"The report came back from the United States, and many dealers who had signed the agreement before went back on their word and demanded to rescind the agreement!" Han Peng said with a gloomy expression.

Dongfang Game Company only focused on research and development after its independent split, and the sales process was all entrusted to the newly established Dongfang Commercial. As a result, this time the sales of game consoles had such a major accident, and he, the president of Dongfang Commercial, can be said to be to blame. .

"This is only the case in the North American market, or is it the same in other places?" Li Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"Only the North American market! Other markets are currently doing very well, especially the Japanese market. We have established a very complete marketing system in Japan through the previous game handhelds. According to the current feedback, although the game consoles have just been put on sale. , but the momentum is very hot. Some stores have a small amount of purchases in the first batch, and they have already sold out of stock!" Han Peng said, "Our American colleagues have spoken out from several dealers, and they have been affected by it. Under the strong pressure of Atari, if we continue to sell our products, Atari will threaten to stop supplying them!" (To be continued. . . )
