When He Zuozhi and Li's voice negotiator Adams signed the initial acquisition contract of the TV station, it took less than two days to officially announce the news on May 15, which caused an uproar for a while.

According to this newspaper's investigation, on 12 May, He Zuozhi, general manager of Phoenix Channel, reached an acquisition agreement with Li's voice, the parent company behind Li's TV station, and invested 95 million Hong Kong dollars to wholly acquire Li's TV station. ——Hong Kong Observer

"Lai TV is the first television organization in Hong Kong, established on May 29, 1957 by the British Lai Voice, then known as "Lai Sing Sing", which is the first television station in Hong Kong and the Far East ......" - "Sing Tao Daily"

"Once a three-legged trend, now it has become a two-pronged alliance, can the wireless station withstand this wave of pressure?" - "Business Daily"

With the announcement of the news, more and more newspapers and magazines are still reporting on this incident, and most ordinary people are not paying much attention to this matter, after all, in their opinion, the drama of this TV station is not good, so change it. But some practitioners in the relevant film and television industry, or businesses that have been advertising on TV for a long time, are more worried.

Especially the employees who are still working at Li's TV station, they are very worried that Phoenix TV will carry out a wave of layoffs after acquiring Li's TV station, after all, if the two TV stations merge, the redundant employees of each department will be the first to lay off the people of Li's TV station.

After Phoenix TV signed the agreement to speak out, it has not sent anyone to take over the TV station, and it was gradually misreported that Phoenix TV was preparing to merge Li's TV station into it, and would lay off the employees of Li's TV station on a large scale, and only retain the artist department and the finance department.

"I heard that after Phoenix Station acquired our station this time, it will carry out large-scale layoffs, and only the artist department and the finance department will be retained. ”

"Wouldn't it be? Wouldn't it be such a high level of large-scale layoffs, then wouldn't our Taiwan collapse?"

"How could it collapse, without us, aren't there many people on the Phoenix Terrace?"

“......”

For a while, rumors spread, and the employees of Leigh's TV station began to worry about their future.

As rumors of layoffs spread, the fear began to spread only among the lower level employees, after all, the number of employees at the bottom was the largest, and then gradually spread to the middle and upper management.

......

Leigh's TV, conference room.

Wei Daming, the current general manager of Li's TV station, hurriedly took the staff of the station to welcome after seeing the Phoenix TV station and his party enter the door: "Hello Manager He, welcome to come." ”

"Manager Wei doesn't need to be polite, we are also old acquaintances, we will all work together in the future, there is no need to be so polite. He Zuozhi smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"Yes, yes, what Manager He said. ”

Hearing this, Wei Daming breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Although he had had private contact with He Zuozhi a few days ago, and the other party had repeatedly promised that he would not dismiss him, but in the past few days, he was very worried in his heart, for fear that Phoenix Terrace would finally decide to lay off himself.

After all, when the two TV stations competed, Wei Daming came up with a lot of ghost ideas to curb the development of Phoenix Channel.

He Zuozhi glanced at the middle and high-level employees of Li's TV station, who had always been competitors before, and most of their faces had been seen, and they were old acquaintances, and they came in the name of the receiver at this time, He Zuozhi was still a little dark in his heart, and waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, everyone is here, everyone sit down." ”

Most of the employees who came from Phoenix Station here honestly looked for a seat to sit down, but many employees of Li's TV station first looked at He Zuozhi, and then turned their heads to look at Wei Daming, out of previous habits, they also thought that General Manager Wei was their top boss.

"Don't sit down yet!" Wei Daming frowned, waved his hand violently and beckoned everyone to sit down, and after a while, he meowed at He Zuozhi's face again, and saw that he was not angry about what had just happened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He Zuozhi glanced at Wei Daming and said with a smile: "Manager Wei, please sit down too." ”

"Okay, okay. Wei Daming sat next to He Zuozhi with a smile.

Everyone sat down, and He Zuozhi said loudly: "I think everyone knows that Phoenix TV has wholly acquired your Li's TV station from Li's voice, and this time I came here mainly to take over Li's TV station." ”

While speaking, He Zuozhi glanced at the changes in the expressions of the people at the scene, some frowned, some pondered, and some were helpless.

He paused and continued: "In the past two days, I have discussed and communicated with Mr. Huo, the chairman of Phoenix Channel, and decided not to merge Li's TV station into Phoenix Channel, and the two are still operating separately. It's just that there will be a big change in the business model, and the first thing is to change the name of Li's TV station to Asia TV. ”

After signing the acquisition agreement, He Zuozhi communicated with Huo Yaowen about the follow-up development of Li's TV station, and according to He Zuozhi's meaning, he was ready to merge Li's TV station into Phoenix Channel, which is equivalent to saying that all the program channels of Li's TV station were changed to the logo of Phoenix TV.

But Huo Yaowen rejected He Zuozhi's opinion, and his idea was that the two TV stations should be operated separately, and entertainment projects such as variety shows and serials would be transferred to Li's TV station for broadcast.

In accordance with the requirements of the television license, Phoenix Channel has changed its focus to science, education, news, and other aspects, and no longer participates too much in the production and broadcast of TV series and entertainment programs.

At the same time, it expanded the business and broadcast scope of Phoenix Channel, and expanded the four major aspects of news, education, children, and consulting to Asia, focusing on international news, international Chinese and English education, international information consulting, international children's animation, and international children's programs.

To put it simply, Phoenix Channel is no longer limited to Hong Kong's regional television station, but will take into account the viewing habits of Chinese viewers in various countries and regions in the Asian region.

For example, Chinese is still spoken by many Chinese in Southeast Asia, and Phoenix Channel has specially created a Chinese channel to produce various Chinese programs in education, children, news, etc.

In addition to better getting close to the Chinese audience in Asia, we will also hire and invite some local actors and hosts from Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places to produce and participate in the show on Phoenix Channel.

As for Li's TV station, which has been renamed Asia Television, it will focus on entertainment, film and television, stabilize Hong Kong's local ratings, and at the same time, use the channel of Phoenix TV to open up the Chinese audience market in overseas regions.

At the same time, in order to avoid the waste of additional expenses caused by the overlap of resources, the finance department, the artist department, the film and television production department, the news production department, and the program production department will be reformed and reorganized on a large scale.

With He Zuozhi's narration, the middle and high-level employees of Li's TV station were first happy, and then they frowned.

After all, if you follow what He Zuozhi said, then a large number of people from Phoenix Channel's drama production department, artist department, administration department, and program production department will come to Li's TV station. At that time, I'm afraid that I, the old people in the stage, will have to give up my position to these people sent by the owner.

The people in the conference room had different expressions and different expressions, He Zuozhi watched while talking, and only after he had roughly explained the reform of the two TV stations did he talk about personnel transfers.

"The specific plan of the TV station will issue a relevant document later, and it will remain the same for the time being, and I estimate that it will be officially implemented next month. As for personnel, there will be big changes, General Manager Wei's position remains unchanged for the time being, and Ms. Liang Shuyi from the Phoenix TV Artist Department will be transferred to Li's TV station as deputy general manager. ”

At the beginning, when Huo Yaowen communicated with He Zuozhi, he wanted to directly transfer He Zuozhi to Li's TV station as the general manager, but later He Zuozhi himself said that he couldn't go, on the one hand, because Phoenix TV would change too much compared to Li's TV station, and the film and television department and program department were minus.

Secondly, and most importantly, Wei Daming, the general manager of Li's TV station, has worked in the station for six or seven years after all, and he was rashly transferred to Phoenix TV as the vice president, for fear of causing unease in the personnel of Li's TV station.

In the end, it was decided to send Liang Shuyi over as the deputy general manager, and at the same time slowly replace the management of the middle and high-level departments of Li's TV station with people from Phoenix TV.
