Chapter 168: Atari's Counterattack

Li Xuan didn't like to eat bread and milk for breakfast, so the Filipino maid went to the restaurant in advance to buy back morning tea. Li Xuan ate a basket of shrimp dumplings with half a bowl of white porridge, and after he had breakfast, he picked up the newspaper he had just bought on the table.

ATV's new column launched last night really attracted a lot of attention, such as the "Oriental Daily" that Li Xuan held in his hand, and before the ratings of the first issue of "Who Can Become a Millionaire" came out last night, there were already writers on the column who rushed to write articles related to the program overnight.

Last night's first issue of "Who Can Become a Millionaire" had seven contestants participating in the quiz, but only two of them could really get the prize. The most regrettable one has accumulated a bonus of 300,000 yuan, but unfortunately he didn't accept it when he saw it, and finally fell short. Therefore, this article in the Oriental Daily analyzes the problem of how to make trade-offs from the perspective of game theory.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

"Ah Xuan, big brother has something to do with you!" Zhong Chuhong picked up the phone and said a few words, then turned his head and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stood up, walked to the sofa and took the microphone: "Big brother, is there something wrong?"

"Today, there is a report in the "Hong Kong Times" that I and the underworld are also insinuating that it is pointing at you, I will call you in advance and tell you that I will solve this matter!" Li Ke's voice on the phone was a little hoarse.

"Big brother, how are you going to solve it?" Li Xuan frowned.

"Of course, I'm looking for a lawyer to sue them for the newspaper! I'm a good citizen, can their newspaper casually slander other people's innocence without any evidence? Even if Hong Kong has freedom of the press, that's not how it came about!" Li Ke smiled on the other end of the phone, "You can rest assured." I'm not going to mess around!"

"Hmm!" Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, his eldest brother was now more and more like a businessman. He didn't take this matter to heart, "I heard that you have invested a lot of money in the Deep Sea Special Zone?"

"After you transferred most of Feihong's shares to Ah Hao. I'm also embarrassed to continue to make people suspicious in the company, so I just quit to become a small shareholder who only eats dividends!" Li Ke didn't hide it from his brother, "I don't want to waste the relationships I built before, so I just open a new company to invest in the mainland." Brother Qiang and Uncle Jian also invested some money in the new company, and now they have somehow been stabbed out, and today's report of the "Hong Kong Times" makes a big fuss about this, saying that the northern SAR is mixed with fish and eyes, and uses the money from the underworld to engage in economic development!"

Li Xuan shook his head, the Hong Kong Times is one of the KMT's party assets in Hong Kong. The newspaper had been losing money for many years, relying entirely on the rent of the Times Building, also owned by the Kuomintang, to fill the financial hole, and finding trouble in the north was one of the paper's most important missions.

"You get out as soon as possible, don't fall into the troubled waters of the two sides fighting!" Li Xuan told his eldest brother on the phone.

After Li Ke put down the microphone, his face became a little gloomy. He knew that he had suffered an unwarranted disaster this time, and he originally just wanted to make money in peace, but since someone bullied him, he was by no means a dough to be kneaded.

"Ah Kun, find someone for me to inquire clearly. Who sent the article of the "Hong Kong Times" and sent someone to crucify the author to me, but no one was allowed to touch him without my instructions!"

After giving orders to his brothers. Li Ke picked up the phone again and dialed a number: "Hao, I'm Li Ke, do you have time to eat together at noon... Are you on the mainland?... It just so happened that I was going to go there in the morning. Let's just go to Zhuyuan Hotel for lunch!"

Li Ke put down the phone, his brows stretched slightly. Last year, his brother transferred 60 percent of Feihong Real Estate's shares to his name. 40% of them were soon sold to Lin Guitai for HK$15 million, and Lin Guitai put this part of the equity directly in the name of his youngest son Lin Yuhao. In this way, Lin Yuhao owns 80% of the equity of Feihong Real Estate. Li Ke resigned from the post of deputy general manager of Feihong Company and only became a small shareholder who ate dividends.

He also learned a lot of things in the past year of Feihong Real Estate, and with tens of millions of huge funds in hand, he simply set up a real estate company by himself as the boss, and still cooperated with the Housing Authority of the Special Administrative Region to invest in real estate. Uncle Jian of Hele Hall, as well as Li Ke's former boss Scar Qiang, also wanted to buy shares, and he did not refuse to come with the idea of making money together, but he didn't expect that now he has become a handle in the hands of others.

Li Ke's newly established real estate company has just developed its first real estate project not long ago, and it is still the same route as Feihong Real Estate sold pre-sale properties in Hong Kong, from the opening to the present, more than 100 houses have been sold. Now that Hong Kong's right-wing newspapers have suddenly targeted him and attacked the mainland for using the money of the underworld to engage in economic development, Li Ke is tantamount to getting involved in the troubled waters of politics and politics.

If it was just him, it would be nothing, but the "Hong Kong Times" obviously insinuated that he also brought his younger brother, which is not something he can bear. Li Ke's mind is not confused, the best thing to do at this time is to withdraw in time, and there will be time for revenge later. That's why he called Lin Yuhao to invite him to dinner together, if he can, he hopes that Feihong Real Estate can acquire the project in his hands, after all, the pre-sale has been almost bought, and he will make a little profit, which is a sure deal for Feihong Real Estate.

Li Xuan hung up the phone and put things aside, since his eldest brother said that he could handle it, there would definitely be no problem. His eldest brother is now a well-known god of wealth in Hele Hall, who has opened a real estate company and a film company, and it is said that he will recently invest in opening an electronics factory in the north.

"My brother also owns a film company?" Li Xuan asked his girlfriend with a smile.

"Well, it's called Family Carnival Film Company, originally called Hutchison Film Company, and it took two movies to lose money, so the eldest brother came forward to take over the company!" Zhong Chuhong said gently.

Hejiahuan Pictures was originally a company opened by a bigwig from Heletang, who saw that the film industry was very hot, and he also wanted to enter the market to make a profit, and invited people to shoot films with sticks. As a result, most of the crew and actors who were forcibly pieced together were perfunctory, and what was filmed was a bad movie that no one watched.

Later, he transferred the company to Li Ke, and Li Ke also specially asked Zhong Chuhong to ask some insider things about the film industry. Zhong Chuhong simply introduced Li Ke to Zeng Zhiwei, and the two chatted several times. After Li Ke took over the film company, the first thing he did was to change the name, throw away the original rotten signboard, and rename it Family Carnival Film Company.

After the company changed its new name, Li Ke asked Zeng Zhiwei to come forward to help invite some people in the circle to eat together, ensuring that the new company would come according to the rules of the industry, and everyone who invited them would send the script and film contract in advance, and the salary should not be less.

Well-informed people also know the origin behind the family carnival company, and if they can sell face, they will definitely not want to offend. Even if he really can't pull away, Li Ke is very polite, never blames, and his style of doing things is completely in accordance with the practices in the circle. Although the recent films of Hejiahuan Pictures have made and lost, the company's fame has gradually become louder.

Li Xuan listened to Zhong Chuhong's brief introduction, and he could also guess that his eldest brother had made this film company, and he was probably responsible for laundering money for Hele Hall. However, the inflow of funds into the film industry was a common thing in Hong Kong in the 80s, and the prosperity of Hong Kong films has a lot to do with the inflow of these funds.

"How's the merger plan between your company and ATV going?" Li Xuan asked as he looked at his girlfriend's unparalleled face.

ATV has a large number of actors and behind-the-scenes talent resources in its hands, and seeing that the Hong Kong film industry is becoming more and more prosperous, Zhou Liang Shuyi also has the idea of getting a piece of the pie, so she decided to acquire Asian Film and Television. Although the majority shareholder of both companies can be said to be more or less the same person, both companies have other shareholders, and the acquisition is done in accordance with normal business procedures.

"I'll hand over this matter to Zeng Zhiwei to take full responsibility!" Zhong Chuhong's double-flow tube colorful eyes were full of smiles, "As long as he and Wang Jing don't think they will suffer!"

Backed by a big tree, it is good to enjoy the shade, if Asian Film and Television can be invested in ATV, it can use ATV's huge resources, even when negotiating with the theater chain, it is more confident. Zeng Zhiwei, the president of the company, naturally would not object to hugging such a thick thigh. But how much is Asia Pictures worth, this is a matter related to vital interests, and he must pay a lot of money, after all, the price offered by Boss Lei of the Golden Princess Cinema Line when he wanted to buy shares was not low.

Li Xuan smiled disappreciatively, and he nodded at his girlfriend. At this time, the phone rang again. Li Xuan picked up the microphone casually, and before he could say a few words, the smile on his face had disappeared. He greeted Zhong Chuhong and immediately returned to the company.

Li Xuan walked into the conference room of the Oriental Game Company, Du Wenqiang and Han Peng were sitting there with frowns on their backs, and the others didn't even dare to breathe.

"I couldn't tell you on the phone just now, what the hell is going on?" asked Li Xuan.

"There is a report from the United States that many dealers who have signed the agreement before have repented and asked to revoke the agreement!" Han Peng said with a gloomy expression.

After the independent split of Oriental Game Company, it only focused on research and development, and the sales link was all entrusted to the newly established Oriental Commercial, as a result, the sales of FC game consoles had such a heavy accident, and he, the president of Oriental Commercial, could not be said to be to blame.

"Is this the case only in the North American market, or is it the same everywhere?" Li Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"There is only the North American market, and the other markets are doing very well at the moment, especially in Japan, where we have established a very complete marketing system with the help of the previous Gameboy handheld. According to the current feedback, although the FC game console has just been put on sale, the momentum is very hot. "Our American colleagues have already gotten out of stock from several dealers, and they are under strong pressure from Atari to stop supply......ing them if they continue to sell our products!"
