"Boss, a Japanese publishing house came to negotiate the licensing of "Feng Yun", but I haven't agreed to it yet, mainly because the price is not very satisfactory. "Feng Yun" has surpassed "Heroes of China" and has become the most popular comic publication in Hong Kong, but

You can’t sell external rights cheaply!”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: ""The Storm" has really become our cash cow. I am afraid it will bring 30 million yuan in profit to the group company this year!"

"Heroes of China" accounts for one-third of Yulang Group's profits, with an annual profit of more than 20 million.

"It should be almost the same!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "How is the situation of Yulang Group?"

Long Jingchang suddenly got excited and said: "It's very pessimistic! It is said that Huang Yulang lost hundreds of millions of yuan in this stock market crash, and Yulang Group is in the publishing industry, not the securities industry, but it used funds raised from the stock market

A huge sum of 470 million was invested in securities, which exceeded the group's market value by more than 400 million (before the stock market crash), and shareholders complained."

Lin Zuhui suddenly became deep in thought. After a long time, he said to Long Jingchang: "Find someone to check the situation of Yulang Group, and then find someone to guide the shareholders of Yulang Group to complain to the Securities Regulatory Office. I guess Huang Yulang also concealed it from the shareholders."

Transactions of important shares and investments... let the Securities Regulatory Office find trouble with Yulang Group."

Long Jingchang nodded without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee that no one is aware of it. Anyway, the shareholders of Yulang Group are also complaining."

Lin Zuhui nodded, and Long Jingchang excused himself to go and do some work.

He was thinking: Once Yulang Group is publicly condemned by the Securities Regulatory Commission and warned (investing in securities itself is not illegal), the image of Yulang Group will be greatly damaged and the stock price will plummet.

This is not the point. The point is that Huang Yulang himself borrowed a large amount of debt from the bank.

Once the bank knows that the Yulang Group is in bad shape, it will definitely force Huang Yulang to pay back the money, and it will be done immediately without any room for negotiation.

This is the bank. If Lin Zuhui had not succeeded in "reducing the weight" before the stock market crash, the bank would still have made the entire New Era Real Estate Group pay back the money.

Once Huang Yulang is pressed for debt by the bank, he can only reduce his holdings of Yulang Group's stocks, and the holding will definitely not be strong.

At that time, Lin Zuhui's opportunity will come!

This year, Lin Zuhui has two development directions in the media field: first, to acquire Yulang Group; second, to acquire ATV.

At the end of last year, a fire broke out at the ATV headquarters. At this time, Qiu Degen may have lost interest.

It's time to join forces with the Zheng family to test it out.

...

ATV was formerly known as Li's TV Station.

In 1957, "Lei's Voice", who was engaged in the broadcasting industry, switched careers and founded "Lei's Yingsheng". In March of the same year, Lei's TV officially launched. After 10 years, Lei's TV dominated the screen and had no competitors.

In November 1967, Lai's monopoly on Hong Kong was broken - Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. was established. The founders were the Li Xiaohe family of Hong Kong's prominent family. Lai's TV uses cable transmission signals, while Hong Kong TV uses transmitting stations to broadcast, so it is referred to as wireless

TV and wireless overwhelm Lite with advantages such as free, colorful, and rich programs. The media said that "Lite is not as beautiful, but wireless is unlimited", vividly summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of the two.

Li's had no choice but to reform and change its business to wireless and color in December 1973. But it was too late. Wireless had firmly occupied the market and was becoming more and more prosperous.

In the summer of 1980, TVB chairman Li Xiaohe died suddenly. TVB director Shao Laoliu was elected as chairman of the board of directors. Shao Laoliu was the king of Asian movies. Due to the impact of television, the films shot by his studios were distributed in Hong Kong and overseas.

It was not ideal. So Uncle Six focused on the television industry, using the studio equipment and cast and crew he controlled to produce programs for Wireless.

Wireless is gaining momentum like no other.

There happened to be a brave man who dared to challenge the film and television tycoon Liu Shu. This man was Qiu Degen, chairman of the Far East Group. Qiu Degen came to Hong Kong from Shanghai in 1950 and initially opened theaters (movie theaters) in the New Territories, and later established theaters and banks.

, the Far East Group in the real estate and entertainment industries. Both Qiu and Shaw belong to the Shanghai Gang, but their relationship is not good because he is close friends with Run Run Shaw's "mortal enemy" - Lu Yuantao, the boss of the D&M Film Company. Qiu Degen and others

Like all theater operators, they are interested in making films. Now that the film industry is declining and television is booming, Qiu has moved on to the television industry. It happened that Lili was difficult to maintain under the ban on wireless. In September 1982, Qiu Degen purchased it from the Voice Group

After acquiring 50% of the shares of Lai, he took over the company and served as chairman. "Li's Yingsheng" was officially renamed "Asia Television". Later, Qiu Degen purchased all the shares of ATV.

.......

No. 12, Repulse Bay, Zheng’s ‘Imperial Palace’.

Lin Zuhui's arrival was warmly welcomed by the Zheng family.

Zheng Yutong has two sons. The eldest son Zheng Jiachun is a close acquaintance of Lin Zuhui. The younger son Zheng Jiacheng is a person with a weird personality. He likes to see a psychiatrist and has been divorced several times. Zheng Jiacheng can take a bath in the New World Hotel all morning and often holds it in his hand.

Yan holds the food in one hand and doesn't pay much attention to image.

After a few people sat down, a servant brought tea and snacks.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Zuhui explained his purpose: "Uncle Tong, Brother Chun wants to buy ATV, what do you think?"

Zheng Jiachun almost spit the tea into his father's face. He coughed twice before looking at him and said to Lin Zuhui: "Didn't you bring up this matter?"

When Zheng Yutong saw his son's expression, he knew that Zheng Jiachun was definitely moved!

"You own a newspaper group. If you acquire ATV, the Hong Kong government will probably cause trouble for you, right?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "So I ask you to come out and serve as the chairman of the board of directors of ATV. I will just be a director. Moreover, Wanhui Media is not here to acquire it. I plan to participate in the acquisition in the name of my family."

He also knew that the Hong Kong government would soon introduce new regulations, and television licenses could not be under the names of subsidiaries of group companies, forcing Shaw Brothers to reorganize TVB.

Lin Zuhui plans to buy ATV shares in his own name first, and then sell them to New Era Group. Otherwise, his career will be too complicated, and even the equity of the film company will have to be sold to New Era Group if he finds an opportunity.

Zheng Yutong asked again: "Qiu Degen intends to sell?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Probably, I think he is in trouble, so there should be no problem!"

Zheng Yutong nodded, looked at Zheng Jiachun again, and found that his son was listening carefully, so he was determined to fulfill his son's wish.

"How are the shares of the new consortium calculated? Are we the only ones?"

Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said: "Qiu Degen may not be willing to sell all the shares, but in any case, there is no problem in purchasing 70% of the shares! At that time, you will take 35%, I will take 30%, and how about inviting D God to join us for the remaining 5%?"

The Zheng family does not have any media management, so it must be Lin Zuhui who is actually running the business, but Lin Zuhui needs Zheng Yutong as a brand, so he first makes him the chairman of the board of directors, and he gets more shares than himself.

As for Qiu Degen's remaining shares, Lin Zuhui can win them all this year with a little trick;

By then, Lam Cho-fai will increase his shareholding to exceed that of the Cheng family, and he will test the Hong Kong government's reaction step by step.

After all, it has become a foregone conclusion that the Lin family will run ATV, so the pressure will be much less.

Zheng Yutong smiled and said: "Okay, I know what you are thinking. It just so happens that we have no experience in operating ATV, so we can rest assured if you leave it to you!"

The chairman of the board of directors and major shareholder of others were ceded to him, so of course he had to make concessions, not to mention that he believed in Lin Zuhui's media management and that he was a "media tycoon" in Hong Kong, and he would definitely be able to give ATV a new look.
