Chapter 242: Asia Television
Li Chengzhi heard that Li Zetian had come to Hong Kong, so he rushed back home that night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the evening, the two chatted for a long time in the study, and the conversation was basically about the Sino-British negotiations. As Li Zetian expected, the Chinese side had the upper hand in the negotiations.
Li Chengzhi said with a smile: "The British government first proposed to exchange sovereignty for governing power, that is, to recognize that the sovereignty of Hong Kong belongs to China, but the governance of Hong Kong belongs to the United Kingdom. However, he was very strongly opposed by Deng Lao, and on September 10, Deng Lao reiterated at a meeting with senior British official Heath: "It is not feasible for Britain to exchange sovereignty for governing power!!
The British side could not seek to govern power, so they retreated to the second best thing, wanting to be jointly managed by China and Britain. The Chinese side is also resolutely opposed to this article.
The British did not go well in the negotiations, so they did some tricks, such as the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, which was carried out by the British, which was equivalent to a threat, but this did not scare the Chinese side. China's determination to take back Hong Kong is very !!"
"Hehe, Mrs. Thatcher is also out of luck when she meets the tough Deng Lao!" Li Zetian smiled and said, "Dad, you must have been busy for a while now, go and rest early." ”
Li Chengzhi's dark circles were very heavy, his face was pale, and he obviously didn't rest well.
"Well, then I'll go to sleep first, I'm really sleepy now!" After speaking, Li Chengzhi yawned, got up from his chair, and left the study.
Li Zetian then came to the hall and accompanied his mother and Zhou Qiqi to watch TV in Dongfang Yuqin.
At this time, there were two main television stations in Hong Kong: TVB and Asia Television.
TVB was established by Hong Kong entertainment giant Run Run Shaw and almost dominates Hong Kong television. Asia Television competes with it, and it is basically crushed, losing money every year.
The predecessor of ATV was "Li's TV", which was renamed ATV in 1982.
"Dongfang Yuqin, you can contact Qiu Degen, chairman of ATV, and say that I will invite him to lunch at noon tomorrow. ”
"Okay. Dongfang Yuqin nodded, took out her Motorola mobile phone, and gave orders to the people here in Hong Kong.
Zhou Qiqi said excitedly at this time: "Brother Zetian, do you want to buy a TV station, then can I be a star!"
"What kind of celebrity to be, this circle is too chaotic, you are a little girl's family, I don't know what it will become after you go in!" Li Zetian shook his head and refused.
"Oh, since Brother Zetian doesn't like it, then I don't deserve it!By the way, Brother Zetian, TVB is the largest TV station in Hong Kong, why don't you buy TVB?"
"Run Run Shaw is a man who will definitely not let the TV station fall into the hands of others, and he will naturally not accept my acquisition request. Li Zetian explained with a smile, and after speaking, he turned around and asked Dongfang Yuqin to bring the next day's itinerary.
Li Zetian took the itinerary, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, it seems that there are really a lot of things tomorrow!"
That night, everyone went to bed early.
The next day, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went out immediately after breakfast.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the two came to Hutchison Whampoa, and after a night of thinking, several shareholders said that they wanted to sell their shares.
After Li Zetian bought their shares, his shareholding exceeded 51%, reaching absolute control.
"Dongfang Yuqin, let everyone come to the conference room for a meeting. ”
"Yes!"
After a while, the company's senior executives at the level of manager and above gathered in the conference room.
"As the saying goes, there are business opportunities hidden in a crisis. The Hong Kong stock market has plummeted, and not only Hutchison Whampoa has been severely hit, but also other real estate companies, and now is the best time for us to annex other companies......!
As soon as Li Zetian's voice fell, everyone in the conference room looked at each other and couldn't help but make a noise, and they were particularly surprised by Li Zetian's decision.
"How can Hutchison Whampoa have so much money to buy the Hongkong Electric Group?"
"Yes, even the acquisition of Chinese Land is very reluctant!"
“……”
Li Zetian gave Dongfang Yuqin a color at this time, Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, Mr. Li has decided to take out 1 billion US dollars to increase the capital of Hutchison Whampoa, which will have the money to buy other companies!"
Li Zetian stood up at this time and said, "The funds will arrive soon, you should act immediately and acquire Chinese Land and Hong Kong Electric Company first!"
"Yes!!" everyone replied in unison.
"That's it, adjourn the meeting!" Li Zetian finished speaking and left the conference room.
At 12 noon, Li Zetian had lunch with Qiu Degen at the Peninsula Hotel.
Qiu Degen started from scratch and was very powerful, and established the Far East Group, involving many industries, such as banking, real estate, securities, tourism, food, flour, hotels, warehouses, theaters, newspapers, and enterprises he founded in Indonesia, the United States, and Canada, and his career is thriving. In 1982, he purchased a 50% stake in the TV station, renamed it "Asia Television Station", and reorganized the organization, becoming the chairman of the board of directors. Qiu Degen knows that in order to develop a television station, it is necessary to have funds, talents, and good scripts. He invited Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming from the film and television industry to serve as the director and program manager respectively, responsible for the production business of "ATV".
"Mr. Li, you asked me to meet, I don't know what we want to talk about?" asked Qiu Degen.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, "Then I'll get straight to the point, I don't want to hide it, I want to invest in Asia Television and develop Asia Television with you." ”
Qiu Degen frowned suddenly, Li Zetian was wealthy, far from being comparable to him, and he was worried that he would be "eaten".
"Mr. Qiu, I know you have any concerns, but please rest assured, your worries are completely unnecessary. I took a stake in ATV just to promote the development of Hong Kong film and television. Not to mention that ATV is still losing money, even if it can make money, do you think I will care about this income? So, you don't have to worry, after I take a stake in ATV, I will drive you away, because it is completely unnecessary. ”
Li Zetian smiled secretly in his heart, thinking: "I don't need to get rid of you at all, and you will take the initiative to leave ATV." In 1988, when the 'Far Eastern Bank Fraud Case' broke out, Qiu was investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, stopped participating in the management of ATV, and then sold all the shares and completely withdrew from ATV!"
Qiu Degen thought about it carefully, Li Zetian's addition can not only bring abundant funds to ATV, but also many cooperation resources, such as MTV Music Network, CNN News Network, Violet Records, Disney and so on.
"Mr. Li, how much stake do you plan to hold in ATV?"
“50%。 Li Zetian said with a smile, "Of course, if you can continue to invest, Asia Television will be jointly controlled by the two of us, each holding 50%!"
Hearing this, Qiu Degen lowered his head, was silent for a while, came over for a while, and said: "Mr. Li, you are very welcome to take a stake in ATV, with your joining, ATV will definitely be able to compete with TVB!"
"Hehe, I hope so!"
After lunch, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin accompanied Qiu Degen to Asia Television. At the same time, Mr. Chiu called the other shareholders of ATV to the company.
And when Li Zetian walked into the building of Asia Television, he immediately caused a sensation.
"Look over there, who's that? The richest man in the world, Chronos Li, oh my God, why did he come to our company?"
"Wow, really, my male god is here!" A girl immediately looked confused.
“……”
Qiu Degen quipped: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be so popular with the female employees of our company!"
Li Zetian said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I'm handsome......"
