Hearing Xia say this, Jin Yong was stunned for a while, and then nodded with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Summer is now worth a lot of money, and it is not difficult to buy a Hollywood studio. In that case, there is really no need to rush to ask them for cooperation.
"Ah Tian, you really have ambition. Jin Yong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Cha, for the compliment. Summer also laughed.
"By the way, there is news that Shao Yifu has decided to sell TVB. Jin Yong said to Xia Xia at this time.
"Oh?!" Summer was stunned, he didn't expect to hear the news, which really surprised him.
You must know that in his previous life, Shao Yifu has always been in charge of wireless. It wasn't until a year ago that the TV station was transferred to HTC Chairman Wang Xuehong. So he originally thought that in this life, Shao Yifu would stick to the end and work until he couldn't do it anymore.
But after thinking about it carefully, Summer also understood Shao Yifu's approach.
In the previous life, wireless was dominant in Hong Kong and beat ATV without a backhand. Shao Yifu's career is going well, so he is naturally willing to continue to operate.
But now, the situation is reversed, it has become wireless being pressed and beaten by ATV, and scandals have been exposed, making it embarrassing and difficult to turn over.
In this case, Shao Yifu is unwilling to stick to TVB, and hopes that it is normal to shake the plate. Because that's how he did it to Shaw Brothers Pictures in the first place. As soon as the Shaw Brothers movie was not popular, he shut down the film company and stopped the loss in time, which can be described as decisive and ruthless.
However, as soon as he sells now, he has brought a lot of variables, which makes Summer feel faintly uneasy.
Because I don't know who will take over, if it is a super-rich man like Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang, or an international media giant like Murdoch and Lei Shidong, it will undoubtedly add a strong opponent to himself.
As far as Xia knows, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Ho Hongshen, Zheng Yutong, Lin Baixin and others have always had plans to enter the media. In his previous life, Li Jiacheng invested in China Entertainment Satellite TV, Satellite TV and other TV stations, Bao Yugang invested in the establishment of Wharf Cable TV, and Lin Baixin, Zheng Yutong, He Hongshen and others jointly funded the purchase of ATV.
The reason why this is so is because after they make enough money, they want to enhance their voice and expand their influence. As the most important publicity platform, TV stations have undoubtedly become a sweet spot in their eyes.
In addition, Murdoch, a world-class media tycoon, has also been hoping to use Hong Kong as a springboard to smoothly enter the mainland market. In his previous life, he acquired Li Jiacheng's satellite TV and renamed it Star Media, and also introduced mainland investors to jointly invest in the establishment of Phoenix Satellite TV.
It's a pity that although Phoenix Satellite TV has investment from the mainland and Liu Changyang, who has a mainland background, serves as the chairman, it still failed to enter the mainland market smoothly, so Murdoch's springboard plan is invalid. He transferred the shares of Phoenix Satellite TV in 13 years, completely dispelling the idea of entering the mainland.
And Viacom, a subsidiary of Lei Shidong, is also very active in entering the mainland. In his previous life, his MTV channel cooperated with a number of TV stations in the mainland to produce programs together, including "MTV Tian Lai Village", "MTV Learn English", "MTV Star Files", etc., and expanded his territory with the help of mainland cable TV channels.
The main reason why these international media tycoons are so active in entering the mainland is that the mainland market is so wide. China has a population of 1.3 billion, twice that of Europe, more than four times that of the United States, and eleven times that of Japan...... With such a huge market, it's like a huge piece of fat, and no one doesn't want to take a bite.
And because of the strict control of foreign media in mainland China, these media tycoons, although they are eyeing and salivating, are always denied access to them.
However, Hong Kong's television stations are able to influence the eastern part of Guangdong. Because many people in eastern Guangdong can use a simple fishbone antenna to receive TV program signals from Hong Kong, and many people even only watch Hong Kong TV programs.
So if they buy a TV station in Hong Kong, they can expand their influence to the mainland. Therefore, the acquisition of wireless and ATV is very tempting or powerful for them.
"Damn, if he sells the TV station to Murdoch or Lei Shidong, it will be dangerous. "Summer thought of this, worried.
Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Lin Baixin and other tycoons have more money at most, but they are not good at running an entertainment business. They may increase their investment in wireless at that time, and it will be almost the same if they engage in a few more poaching operations, and it will be difficult to cause too much damage to ATV.
So for them to take shares, although reluctant in the summer, it is acceptable. But like Murdoch and Lei Shidong, it is absolutely not good.
Because whether it is Murdoch or Lei Shidong, they are all world-class media giants, and their financial resources, their experience, and their strength are unparalleled.
If you fight them in the summer, it will be equivalent to a lightweight fighter, and against a super heavyweight boxer, you will definitely be beaten.
"Made, we must not let Murdoch and Lei Shidong extend their claws to Hong Kong. Summer thought.
"Mr. Cha, is it true that Sir Shao wants to sell wireless?" he then asked Jin Yongdao.
"It should be true, I went to a friend's party yesterday and someone told me so. said that Shao Yifu was in contact with people recently, preparing to transfer the shares of wireless. Jin Yong explained, "Ah Tian, you have to be careful. I've heard that he came into contact with some of the city's richest people, and even consortiums from overseas. ”
Summer's face changed, and sure enough. He's really in contact with overseas consortia.
"Thank you Mr. Xia for reminding me, I will send someone to pay close attention. He then said.
"Hmm. Jin Yong nodded, "Okay, it's okay, I'll hang up first." ”
……
After hanging up the phone, Summer hurriedly called Zhou Liang Shuyi.
"Mrs. Zhou, help me keep an eye on the movements of the wireless. Summer instructed.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xia?" Zhou Liang Shuyi heard and hurriedly asked.
"I just received the news that Shao Yifu seems to want to sell wireless. Summer explained, "You help me keep an eye on who he's in contact with, and see who's going to take over?"
"Shao Yifu wants to sell the plate?!" Zhou Liang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is really unexpected." I didn't expect him to be beaten away by us. ”
Shao Yifu has been galloping in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for decades, and he has always been the one who beat others away, but he didn't expect to be beaten away by them this time, which is really a thing worth applauding.
"Don't be happy just yet. Shao Yifu is gone, but the person he gets in exchange may be ten times more difficult than him. Seeing that she was a little gloating, Summer hurriedly reminded.
Shao Yifu has been defeated and is no longer scary. It's the next opponent that's scary. If Murdoch really comes to take over, then he will have to face a fierce battle in the summer, and the hope of dominating Hong Kong's television industry is probably dashed.
"That's right. Hearing Xia say this, Zhou Liang Shuyi couldn't help but nod.
The current situation of wireless is rotten like this, and those who dare to take over are bound to be very capable, and they will definitely have a big impact on ATV in the future.
"But Mr. Xia, please rest assured, our ATV is not what it used to be, and it has already cultivated a large number of loyal audiences. I believe that no matter who comes to us, it will not be too easy for us to win. Zhou Liang Shuyi said confidently.
"Be careful. Xia nodded, and also knew that ATV was no longer Wuxia Amon, the ratings were high, the TV series were popular, and variety shows were also very popular, and they had cultivated a large number of loyal audiences.
But don't take it lightly. Last year, wireless was the same as the current ATV, with a solid advantage. So what, don't you still fall into a mess.
"When a newcomer takes over TVB, he must increase investment in programs and win ratings with high-quality programs. At the same time, they may poach and poach our stars to their side. Summer thought for a moment and said, "Recently, you have to review the employee's contract, and the renewal of the renewal should not leave any gaps." In addition, in terms of program production, we also spend more dim sum machines to produce more and better programs. ”
That's how he dealt with wireless in the first place, so now it's the other way around, and he has to worry about someone using this method against him.
"I see, Mr. Xia. Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded immediately.
It's only in the summer that I'm a little relieved.
It will take at least a month or two for wireless to sell. For such a long time, ATV was completely prepared in advance and was not afraid of the impact of wireless.
The so-called fence is tightly fastened, and wild dogs can't get in! No one is afraid to come!
……
called Zhou Liang Shuyi and asked her to plunge into the fence, be vigilant, and wait for it, but after thinking about it, Xia still felt unsafe.
There is a reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent thieves the day before yesterday. No matter how tight the defense is, there are loopholes to exploit. You don't see the famous Maginot Line, which claims to be completely defended and can never be broken, but in the end it is still useless.
So in addition to defense, we have to find a little more offensive measures, and it is best to mess up the acquisition of Murdoch and others, then it can be done once and for all.
As soon as he thought of this, Xia immediately called Liang Botao again.
"Bo Tao, how much of the wireless stock have been bought now?" asked Summer.
"Now it's been acquired in two-for-four. Liang Botao explained, "In two months, you can acquire three percent." ”
"Then if you go all out to buy it now, how many shares can you grab back?" said Summer.
"Going all out?!, that would have cost a lot more. Liang Botao frowned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Xia, the meat that has been put on the cutting board is now on the wireless, why are you in a hurry?"
"No hurry. Shao Yifu is going to stop playing and wants to sell the wireless. Summer explained, "Once Murdoch and Lei Shidong take over, then our ATV will be in danger, so I have to grab the shares first and create a big obstacle for them." ”
