He Houhua swore that he boasted about Haikou in front of Huo Yaowen, and made a phone call to go back to his home in Macao that afternoon, and he didn't know what to talk about with He Daheng, so he took the ferry back to Macao in the evening.

No matter what He Houhua and his father He Daheng said, anyway, within two days, he personally came to the door to find Huo Yaowen, in addition to bringing a little Macao specialty, but also passed on a good news.

That is, Ho Daheng agreed to help Huo Yaowen take a stake in Macau TV, but he needs Phoenix TV to give a specific and detailed report on the development and prospect of the Macau TV industry.

This aspect of the matter is not a problem at all, Huo Yaowen directly contacted He Zuozhi, and asked him to arrange for the marketing department of Phoenix Taili to conduct an investigation on the Macao market, and write a detailed plan that can cooperate with Hong Kong Phoenix TV and Asia Television.

In a few days, this planning report was written, and the content is basically nothing more than how to develop Macau's television station so that it will not lose money, and at the same time, it will rely on Macao's local economic effect to drive the long-term development of the television station.

In layman's terms, it is to combine the gaming industry and tourism, which are the pillars of Macau's economy, to vigorously develop and promote local TV programs.

It can be understood as broadcasting Macao's unique "dog races" and "carriage races" in Hong Kong or overseas, and then using Macao's local tourism industry to promote foreign film and television crews to shoot in Macao.

On the one hand, the Hong Kong Jockey Club may not be very happy with the invasion of the Macau Jockey Club, and on the other hand, Macau's tourism industry at this time is still relatively low-end, and tourists who come to Macau are mainly gambling, and there are almost no serious tourists who come to Macau. (Carriage Race, Carriage Race)

Anyway, Fok Yiu Man is quite satisfied with this report, at least on the bright side, this planning report directly names how to reverse the losses of Macau TV station.

As for whether the other party will receive the plan letter and turn his face? There is no need to worry about this at all, even if the Macao TV station does what it says above, without Phoenix TV and Asia TV to broadcast it to them, it will be useless to rely on Macao's population of 200,000 or so alone!

After all, the locals want to watch greyhound racing and horse racing cars, so instead of watching it on TV, it is better to go directly to the scene to watch it.

After finalizing the plan, Huo Yaowen handed it over to He Houhua and asked him to transfer it to He Daheng.

Within two days, Ho Daheng submitted this report on the development and prospects of Macao's television industry to Governor Izidi, explaining in detail that if Macau TV wants to develop, it must rely on external forces. Otherwise, Macao's population of 200,000 or so alone will not be enough to support the long-term operation of Macau Television Station.

As the chairman of Tai Fung Bank, the first bank in Macau, Ho Tai Heng's words are still very effective, who let Tai Fung Bank almost monopolize more than 60% of Macau's banking business. (85 years ago)

Although the governor of Macao, Izidi, was curious about how the bank tycoon came up with the idea of submitting this plan for the television industry, he was still happy to follow suit, and after two days of discussion with the subordinate department of the Macau Broadcasting and Information Affairs Administration, he gave Ho the tycoon an accurate information and agreed to introduce foreign funds to jointly operate the Macau TV station.

When the news came back to Hong Kong, Fok Yiuwen immediately called Ho Zuozhi and asked him to form a team to negotiate with the Macao Broadcasting Authority about the joint venture, and try to get a controlling stake in Macau TV.

This time he went to Macau to talk about the joint venture of the TV station, and Huo Yaowen also followed, not to negotiate, but mainly to visit He Daheng. Who made He Tycoon contribute a lot this time, and in the future, the Macau TV will be broadcast, and the support of this tycoon is indispensable, so Huo Yaowen should visit it in person.

Two days later.

Huo Yaowen brought gifts and went to the He family in Macau to visit the tycoon Ho, who is known as the king of Macau, Mr. He is 72 years old this year, and like Huo Guantai, he is a native of Panyu, Guangdong.

In the early years, Ho Daheng opened Huilong Silver in Guangzhou, went to Hong Kong to do business in 1938, went to Macau in 1941 to serve as the manager of Dafeng Yinhao, and later was promoted to manager, and gradually the proportion of shares in the silver account also increased year by year. In 1971, when Dafeng Silver was registered as Tai Fung Bank, it was mainly controlled by Ho Tai Heng.

During the decades of Macao's development, Ho Tai Heng successively served as the chairman of Kiang Wu Hospital, the vice chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Macau, the representative of the Chinese in the Administrative Committee of the Macau Government, and the chairman of the board of trustees of the University of East Asia in Macau.

One of the best Macau tycoons, He Gambling King is a generation shorter than him in terms of seniority, and his social influence is far less than that of this He tycoon.

When they met for the first time, He Daheng was very warm to entertain Huo Yaowen for lunch at home, and under the accompaniment of He Houhua, the two of them, who were nearly forty years apart, chatted happily.

At the dinner table, He Daheng suddenly asked, "Mr. Huo, I heard that Huo Guantai is the uncle of your clan before?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned, then nodded and said, "In terms of genealogy, Uncle Huo is indeed my uncle's generation. ”

"That's too coincidental, Lao Huo and I are both from Panyu, and we don't live far from our hometown, and our relationship has always been good. Since you are his nephew, you should also be my nephew, you can come to me directly for anything in Macao in the future, I dare not say that you can help all, but the people who eat here can still give me a few thin noodles. He Daheng pointed to the ground, the meaning was self-evident, seemingly ordinary words, but he was actually full of confidence in his position in this land.

Huo Yaowen was a little confused at first, but looked at He Houhua sitting next to He Daheng, a young man who was less than thirty years old, but he somewhat understood what He Daheng meant.

"Uncle He, if there is anything that needs to bother your old man in the future, don't feel that the younger generation is verbose and troublesome. Huo Yaowen grinned, in response to He Tycoon's words.

He Daheng's face was overjoyed, and he laughed and said: "What's the trouble here, it's all my own children and nephews, where there is a need, I, as an elder, can help naturally." ”

"Then I'll thank Uncle He in advance. ”

"Hey, it's all a family, thank you. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen lowered his head with a smile and ate the food.

……

Although he inexplicably recognized an uncle on a trip to Macau, Huo Yaowen was still quite satisfied with this trip to Macau, at least with the banner of He Daheng, it would be much more convenient to run a TV station or do business in Macao in the future.

After staying in Macao for two or three days, He Houhua, as the host, led Huo Yaowen to watch the dog race and then the carriage race, and finally prepared to lead Huo Yaowen to play "online dealing", but he was not very interested in this, and politely refused.

After Ho Zuozhi's team negotiated with the officials of the Macao Broadcasting Authority on the issue of the joint venture shares of the Macau Television Station, Fok Yiuwen took the lead in returning to Hong Kong, and the subsequent establishment and reform of the Macau Television Station was entrusted to Ho Zuozhi with full responsibility.

In addition to arranging for some people to be permanently stationed on the Macao TV station, a branch of the Macao TV station has been set up in the Phoenix TV building to coordinate the production of programs on the Macao side.

By the time the Macao TV joint venture was launched, it was already the end of June, and at this time, the Phoenix TV had already successfully reformed.

After Phoenix merged the film and television production department and the entertainment program production department into Asia Channel, the station's programs were broadcast from morning to evening every day, focusing on four aspects: international news, international consulting, international children's and international popular science education.

Of course, Phoenix Channel did not separate all the serials and entertainment programs, but the station no longer participated in the production, but transferred it to Asia Channel for production.

The new Asia Television Station, relying on the traction of Phoenix Channel for two consecutive months, quickly attracted viewers from Phoenix Channel and Litai after it was fully changed to the Asian Channel logo on June 1st.

At the same time, Litai was renamed Asia Channel, and the novelty of the new station attracted many curious wireless station audiences, and the angry Uncle Shao Liu had another fire in the office.

……

Huo family.

"Going public? Are you going to take the company public?"

Huo Yaowen frowned, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa.

At the beginning of the year, when Jobs reported on the company's business last year, he mentioned it, but at that time, the company was not short of money, and Huo Yaowen was not in a hurry to go public, so he directly refused, and did not plan to list Apple according to the original history. But listening to Jobs' meaning at this time, it seems that it will not work if it is not listed?

Jobs sighed: "Actually, I don't approve of going public so early, we are not short of funds at present, and the number of computer orders is scheduled for next year." It's just that BOSS, you should understand that in addition to us, there are many people staring at whether the company is listed in the United States or not. ”

In the past year or so, with the big sales of Apple computers, Apple Computer has naturally been favored by the market, and the corresponding venture capital, securities companies, and various consortia have all wanted to take advantage of this shareholder wind to fool Apple into going public, so as to make a big profit from the stock market.

At the beginning of the year, they sent someone to negotiate with Jobs to go public, but they were rejected by the major shareholder Huo Yaowen, which also caused many computer accessories suppliers to reduce the supply of Apple products for various reasons.

"In that case... Then prepare to take the company public. ”

After listening to Jobs, Huo Yaowen thought about it again and again, and still agreed to Apple's listing, on the one hand, Apple wants to continue to grow and develop, listing is the only way, and secondly, it is stared at by those speculators.

"Okay, I will ask the finance department to sort out the company's financial statements as soon as possible and apply to the stock exchange for listing. It's just a roadshow ......"

"You're in charge of the roadshow, and I'll rush over to participate in a few more before the market is about to go public. ”

The roadshow in Jobs's mouth is actually a bit similar to the participation of star artists in movie roadshows. It is mainly a commercial activity in which the issuer of the company that is preparing to go public holds a roadshow promotion meeting, repeatedly revises the issue price according to the public's demand and demand price information, and finally determines the issue price.

This is very common in the United States, and it has gradually increased in the mainland since 2000.

Ordinary people certainly don't have the opportunity to participate in this kind of roadshow, most of them are some investment institutions, wealthy people, or middle-class people participate. When Jack Ma went to the United States to list a certain treasure, he participated in dozens of roadshows, and with his excellent eloquence, it can be said that he made a grand "good start" for the listing of a certain treasure!
