Chapter 139: The Four Great Chambers of Commerce

"Xu Sheng, what do you think of the development of Li's TV station?" Li Xuan asked seemingly casually as he sat next to Xu Shixun.

At the end of 1973, bidding for a new TVB licence began, when TVB had monopolized the Hong Kong television market, and Lidi was still a paid cable TV station. At that time, Li's senior management began to reform, and in order to strengthen the momentum, they deliberately pulled my family, Yongan Kwok's, Jardine Matheson, Kadoorie family, and Standard Chartered Bank into the company!

But at that time, most of the top positions of Leigh's TV were held by ghosts, who thought that by changing pay TV to free TV, they could save the viewing. The British don't know what Hong Kong citizens like to watch, so how can they compete with TVB's filial piety?" Xu Shixun shook his head and said.

Li Xuan's purpose in bringing up this topic is naturally not to listen to Li's TV history, which has little to do with him. So Li Xuan asked tentatively: "Has Xu Sheng considered selling the equity of the TV station in your hand?"

Xu Shixun looked at him with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "If someone proposed to buy the equity of Li's TV two years ago, I would not hesitate to agree." However, since Mr. Huang Xizhao became the director of Li's TV station, he has boldly promoted new people and made fruitful reforms, which has made me see some hope!

What's more, the little brother also chose to enter the game, with the earning power of your Dongfang Electronics Company, there is no pressure at all to support the slight losses of Li's TV station. Compared to this time, Li's TV can finally stage a dragon battle with TVB!"

"Xu Sheng, you also understand that Li's current strong posture is supported by a few self-made dramas. Want to continue to compete with TVB. It is necessary to increase investment and shoot more and more excellent TV series to attract audiences!

And now Li's TV station has limited advertising revenue capacity. This year's fiscal revenue and expenditure are already in deficit. In this way, if you want to make up for the loss, you can only increase the investment of the shareholders. Hence the equity in your hands. In the next few years, not only will we not see the hope of making a profit, but we will need to invest further money!" Li Xuan also said what he meant, if he didn't quit, he would need to throw money.

Xu Shixun looked at the foal that was entering the track outside, and after about a minute or two, he smiled heartily: "Okay! I don't have much, take out one or two hundred million to give Xiao Li Sheng a strong momentum, it's still no problem!"

Li Xuan smiled, it seems that the Xu family really has no intention of quitting the TV station. With his original plan, he would definitely expand his capital after acquiring Leigh's TV station. At least another 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be raised to have enough confidence to fight with TVB. Xu's only accounts for 10% of the shares, and if he wants to ensure that his equity is not diluted, it is indeed enough to invest one or two million.

Li Xuan was able to acquire 61.2% of the shares from the voice of the major shareholder Li, and he already had absolute control over the TV station, so he was not very eager to acquire the shares in the hands of other shareholders. Since Xu Shixun had no intention of transferring, he would give up.

Hong Kong, a small land, has given birth to four or five ship kings before and after, and Mr. Xu Aizhou is undoubtedly the oldest. The earliest famous Hong Kong ship king. He had already become a well-known shipping tycoon in the early forties, before the other ship kings had yet to enter the industry.

Mr. Xu Aizhou has passed away for many years, and now the entire family business is run by his second son Xu Shifeng and third son Xu Shixun. Since last year, Shunchang Shipping, which is owned by the Xu family, has been selling ships. It is almost completely out of the shipping industry. Another ship king who also landed on the abandoned boat was called Bao Yugang. As a result, a few years later, the two of them were almost unscathed, while the other ship kings all suffered heavy losses. Later, the family of the Hong Kong chief executive even relied on the injection of funds from the mainland government. Only then did he barely complete the debt restructuring.

The reason why Li Xuan knew about the Xu family in his previous life was entirely because of Xu Jianheng, the fifth diamond king, who was often on the headlines of gossip magazines. Several of his romances. Whether it is with Liu Jialing, He Chaoqi, or Li Jiaxin, every section is vigorous and full of wind and rain. But after Li Xuan recently collected a lot of information about the Hui family, although the wealth of this old wealthy family in Hong Kong is not the most noble, the two brothers at the helm of the Hui family have a very precise vision and a very steady pace.

"Alas-!" There was a sigh from the box, Xu Jiankui's Shenlong King Kong ranked fourth by a narrow margin, and unfortunately failed to squeeze into the top three. However, Xu Jiankui didn't have much of a depressed expression, and Shenlong King Kong's performance today was already very good compared to its past results.

After finishing the business, Li Xuan sat for a while and then bid farewell to the Xu family. Originally, he also wanted to meet Xu Jianheng, but it turned out that the future diamond king Lao Wu had just been sent to the United States to study by his father Xu Shixun last month.

"You seem to be a little different today than before!" Li Xuan glanced at Zhong Chuhong with a smile, she was more generous and active than usual today, and she had been chatting warmly with several wives of the Xu family just now.

"What's the difference?" Zhong Chuhong glanced at her boyfriend suspiciously.

"It's more like a virtuous helper!" Li Xuan said happily.

"When will we be able to raise a baby horse of our own?" Zhong Chuhong said as he stared at Li Xuan with sparkling eyes.

Li Xuan shook his head a little speechlessly: "The horses allowed to be fostered in the Jockey Club are all racehorses that can compete, and there are no young horses! If you can draw the lottery, I'll let you pick it yourself!"

It is not easy for members to really promote to horse owners. There are many members in the Jockey Club who want to buy horses, but the Club's ability to breed is limited, so only a small number of members can be qualified to buy horses by lottery each year. Some members have bad luck and may not have the opportunity for several years.

As for the qualification of the horse owner, whether he or she goes abroad to buy a new horse or chooses to buy a new horse purchased by the Jockey Club in advance, as long as it can meet the quarantine and testing requirements of the Jockey Club.

"I won't pick a horse?" Zhong Chuhong felt a little sweet in her heart, in fact, Li Xuan was really good to her, and she spoiled her very much in everything, it would be better if she didn't pay attention.

"Let's go, go buy Zhang Ma Cai, and see how the fortune is today?" Li Xuan was playful, and pulled his girlfriend to the betting window, since he came to the racecourse, how could he not bet.

"Xiao Li Sheng?" Suddenly, a neutral voice came from behind.

Li Xuan turned his head to look, Huo Zhenting, who was in the middle of the head, looked at him expressionlessly, of course, it was not him who shouted Li Xuan, but the slightly bald man next to him.

"Huo Sheng, you are a respected senior, just call me Ah Xuan! I just walked on the floor, I didn't notice you, I'm sorry!" Li Xuan said politely.

"I also just came out of the box, and I was already behind you, and you won't be able to see me if you don't look back! I wanted to get to know you, a young man, before, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity! Next week, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce just has an exchange meeting, Xiao Li Sheng, your Oriental Company is a giant in Hong Kong's electronics industry, do you have time to take the time to introduce to you the experience of developing enterprises!" Huo Yingdong smiled at Li Xuan and invited him straight to the point.

"Don't dare to introduce experience, let's communicate with each other!" Li Xuan thought for a moment, shook his head humbly and said.

"Xiao Li Sheng is really refreshing, I will have someone send the invitation to your mansion later!" Huo Yingdong said happily, "This is the dog town court, you are about the same age, and you will need more support from Xiao Li Sheng in the future!"

"I already knew Huo Gongzi before!" Li Xuan said with a smile, but he complained in his heart that Huo Zhenting and Xu Jiankui were more than ten years older than him, so they were close in age.

This can only be said that Li Xuan is too demonic, and most of the children of wealthy families began to gradually take over some of the family's affairs after they were in their thirties. Like Xu Jianheng, his age is about the same as Li Xuan, but he hasn't finished reading a student, even if he is now in Hong Kong, Xu Shixun will not push him out to exchange feelings with Li Xuan. In that way, even Xu Shixun himself would feel that it was disrespectful to Li Xuan.

Huo Zhenting barely squeezed out a smile, and greeted Li Xuan in a flat tone. His previous dislike for Li Xuan was only because of his young fame and standing with the hated Xu Jiankui. But he had just expressed his disdain for Li Xuan not long ago, and now that he had been slapped in the face by his father, the evil feeling towards Li Xuan in his heart was naturally even worse.

Huo Yingdong looked at the eldest son's unsalty and indifferent attitude, glared at him, and then said to Li Xuan with a smile: "Then I won't disturb you watching the horse race, next time I will talk to Xiao Li Sheng!"

After Li Xuan saw Huo Yingdong leave, he couldn't help frowning, Zhong Chuhong saw her boyfriend's expression, and asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with that Chinese General Chamber of Commerce?"

"Someone is going to make us stand in line!" Li Xuan explained to his girlfriend, "Hong Kong's four major chambers of commerce, Dongfang Electronics has only joined the Federation of Industries now. Dongfang Electronics is engaged in manufacturing, and it is understandable that we will join the Federation of Industry. The remaining Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association, and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce have different positions.

Among them, the position of the Chinese Manufacturers' Federation is relatively neutral, but most of its members are small and medium-sized manufacturers that do not have much to do with Dongfang Electronics.

The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is an organization close to the mainland, and in recent years, the momentum of the Guangdong Fair in the mainland has been better than one year after another, and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce has organized contacts behind the scenes. The position of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce is more consistent with that of the Hong Kong government, and it is clear if you look at the previous chairmen of the Chamber of Commerce, all of them are British!"

"Then you are going to participate in next week's event, are you preparing to join the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce?" Zhong Chuhong asked.

"It seems too impersonal to refuse directly! The other three major chambers of commerce have all sent invitations to Dongfang Electronics before, and I haven't thought about it yet, but now I naturally choose the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce! Dongfang Electronics, as a Hong Kong enterprise, is better to keep in line with the Hong Kong government!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

In the next few years of Sino-British wrestling, large companies like Dongfang Electronics will inevitably face the problem of standing in line. If Li Xuan has enough right to speak, both sides will only win over rather than force, which is also the real reason why Li Xuan bought Li's TV station. (To be continued......)
