The next day, the sky was clear.

Xia Yu continued to go through the process with Rothschild and his son, and finally bought 8.5% of the equity of Hongkong Land Group in his hands, spending 660 million Hong Kong dollars.

So far, the amount of equity in Xia Yu's hands of Hongkong Land Group has directly exceeded 40%, reaching 42.3%, which is one step closer to the final success.

Following the completion of the transaction, Rothschild & Sons Ltd. proceeded to acquire the remaining shares in the Keswick family.

Now that he knew the plans of the Keswick family, Xia Yu of course ordered Wang Qi not to contact the other party again, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong would not touch the equity of the Keswick family.

This means that as long as no one rushes in again, there will be no one to compete with Rothschild & Sons, and Phil Keswick's wishful thinking of taking advantage of the fisherman will be in vain.

It is conceivable that this will definitely save Xia Yu a lot of money.

When sending Rothier and his son away, Xia Yu stopped Huo Jianning, took out several carefully made game plans, and asked him to register patents immediately, and build a team based on these games.

After going back, Huo Jianning, who already had an in-depth understanding of the game, was shocked by the chairman Xia Yu after reading these game plans, and then his confidence increased greatly, and he was full of enthusiasm to speed up the preparation of Tiangong Electronics.

In the next few days, Xia Yu visited various companies to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of each company.

Xia Yu's impression of each company in his mind was refreshed.

For example, Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd., Gavin Peter is very passionate about acquisitions, especially when Xia Yu told him in the UK that he would buy the Guinness Book of World Records, Gavin Peter went all out.

At this time, Guinness World Records has been acquired and has become a wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, and Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd. has successfully erected a banner in the United Kingdom.

And Gavin Peter was deeply influenced by Xia Yu, and made great progress in marketing acumen, and even cooperated with Global TV to prepare to launch a Guinness World Record challenge program, called "Challenge Guinness".

At first glance, Xia Yu inexplicably had a sense of familiarity, and after a little recollection, he remembered that CCTV had a program of this nature in the future, called "Guinness Chinese Night", and the ratings and influence were still considerable.

Therefore, Xia Yu put forward several strong suggestions to let them avoid detours and encourage him to continue to carry forward.

In addition to Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd., other companies have made great progress and development.

The number of accounts and deposits of Jiuding Bank has been rising, and it has won the banking access licenses of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and is preparing to establish the first branch in each country, which is also the head office of Jiuding Bank in various countries.

After the initial run-in, Jiang Zhiqiang has mastered the skills of using the market to discover good films, and nine films with a box office of one million have been discovered, one of which has reached a box office of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, making a number of small and medium-sized film companies crazy.

And in the past few months, with the support of Jiuding Bank, Jiang Zhiqiang started the Jinyuan offensive in Southeast Asia, and bought a large cinema chain in Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia before the Shao family obstructed it.

Together, the total number of theaters in these four theaters has reached forty-eight.

In Singapore, Jiang Zhiqiang also bought three large movie theaters.

This battle, which was named by Jiang Zhiqiang as the "cinema version of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor", was extremely gratifying, and it took more than two months to win 51 theaters, although it cost more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but in Xia Yu's opinion, everything was worth it.

This action has allowed Universal Cinemas to gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and have the qualifications to wrestle with Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

However, there is still a way to go to defeat the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which has been operated by the Shao family for more than 30 years.

After all, there are more than 130 Shaw Brothers cinemas in Southeast Asia, and there are more than 200 franchised theaters alone.

The strength of Universal Cinemas at this time is equivalent to between one-third and one-quarter of Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

However, now because of the film sharing system and the fact that Galaxy Pictures has invested heavily in many films, Universal Cinemas has solved the biggest shortcoming of film sources.

For the competition with Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Jiang Zhiqiang is completely true.

Anyway, with the chairman's coffers, his goal is to keep buying theaters, surpassing Shaw Brothers in terms of seats and screens, and at the same time renovating the theaters that have been acquired.

The renovation project of the Southeast Asian cinema line will be taken over by Jiuding Infrastructure Company, one of its predecessors, the Golden Gate Building, which has a lot of roots in Southeast Asia, and the renovation of the cinema line is a completely eye-catching small project for the branches of Jiuding Infrastructure in various countries.

As for Global TV, it has ushered in a big explosion.

On the basis of optimizing the original TV programs, Global Television has refined and launched programs such as "Universal Movie Report" and "Golden Songs" in the music category, which have greatly enriched the entertainment life of the citizens and have been sought after by the audience.

Among them, the column "Global Movie Report" is Xia Yu's trump card program for plagiarizing CCTV movie channels in later generations.

And "Golden Song" is a trump card program produced by TVB two years later, which was made out by Xia Yu in advance.

Fortunately, Shao Yifu was inspired by "Universal Movie Report", used the huge library of Shaw Brothers films, cut off two programs that were seriously impacted by Global TV, and played an old movie at a fixed time every day, attracting a part of the audience, and finally made a little bright spot.

However, this highlight can only get a little respite for TVB, and it is impossible to turn the tables around!

After all, Huang Xizhao is also not a dry eater, and sent people to buy the old film rights of other film companies except Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, focusing on Taiwan Province, and now there has been great progress.

As long as it acquires the old film library of the major film companies in Taiwan Province, Global Television can also open up another program that broadcasts old movies and compete head-on with TVB.

At this time, in the minds of the citizens of Xiangjiang, it has successfully shaped the entertainment attributes of Global TV, from TV dramas to variety shows, from music to animation, Global TV has achieved audience coverage of all ages.

In addition to these, the revenue of Global TV has exploded directly, thanks to the popular program "Millionaire", not only Southeast Asian countries, but even large TV stations in the United Kingdom, the United States and other European and American countries have come to buy production copyright licenses.

After getting the approval of Chairman Xia Yu, Huang Xizhao sold at a high price under a deliberate competition, and Global TV earned 230 million Hong Kong dollars just by selling the production license of 100 episodes, of which 30 million Hong Kong dollars were sold to the British BBC.

Thanks to the huge population of the United States, the price of sales to ABC is the highest, reaching 1300 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars per episode.

Even so, the TV station that bought the copyright can still make a lot of money, but Xia Yu knows that the ABC of later generations, on the show "Millionaire", the net profit of an episode can reach between 1.5 million and 2 million US dollars, equivalent to 6.9 million to 9.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Global TV only drew 1.3 million per episode, less than one-fifth, which is considered less.

With more than 200 million yuan in hand, Huang Xizhao's heart swelled sharply, speeding up the basic investment of Global TV and speeding up the construction of Universal Studios.

At the same time, he also carefully wrote a plan and submitted it to Xia Yu for approval.

At this time, Xia Yu was watching this plan in the chairman's office of Global TV, and Huang Xizhao, the director of the TV station, who was high in the eyes of the TV station employees, was waiting respectfully on the side, waiting for Xia Yu's opinion.
