In the thirties and forties, the Ritchie family and Ho, Law, Lee, and known as the four major families in Hong Kong, their ancestors were to accumulate wealth by selling opium, and then operate real estate and other businesses and then became a family, the family business can be described as all-encompassing, in addition to real estate and property rent, including hotels and investment holdings, the main assets include holding about 45% of the equity of the listed company Hysan Development, holding a major stake in Lee Gardens International Hotel, as well as Metropark Hotel, GZ Garden Hotel, Schmidt Semiconductor, SH Commercial Bank, UnionPay Insurance, Xiangbao Finance, Hong Kong Steel Pipe and the ownership of several properties in Causeway Bay, etc.
In addition to the above properties, other Ritchie family members also hold equity interests in some TV broadcasting and television companies, Swire, Cathay Pacific, Hang Seng, China Coal, HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa.
Lee served as chairman of the board of directors of the company for 14 years until his death, when he was succeeded by Run Run Shaw as chairman of TVB.
Now the chairman of the board of directors of Wireless, Li Xiaohe, is living well, and the tycoon has not yet joined the wireless!
Wang Zifan couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't know what Li Xiaohe was, but Shaw was notoriously stingy, and the tycoon was very cost-conscious in the production of the series, for example, a few years ago, he once rejected an application from a drama manager to buy 100 fried steamed buns for 20 yuan to the staff on the set, on the grounds that the steamed buns sold in the company's internal canteen were only a dime, and as a result, the staff who went out on location went on strike because they had no breakfast to eat, and Shaw Brothers lost nearly 10,000 yuan.
Chairman's Office
Li Xiaohe, who is nearly seventy years old, has lost weight, hearing the new director Shao Zhengqiang in the station asking to see, he just wanted to open his mouth to say that he felt a palpitation, covered his heart and coughed a few times, his wife Lu Yanqun immediately poured a cup of hot water, and was careful to accompany him, the Li family has many industries, but in his later years, Li Xiaohe can only rest assured that he will not get off TVB, and he will sit on the TV station all year round to host the daily work.
"Beware of burning!"
"It's fine!"
Li Xiaohe smiled and shook his head, but Lu Yanqun was worried about his body, and told the secretary to wait for a while, turned behind him and massaged her husband, and gently comforted: "You don't have to work so hard, these things can be left to your subordinates to do, the doctor said that your heart is not good, and taking care of your body is the most important thing!"
Li Xiaohe closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and replied: "How can you be idle, Li's side is doing better and better, if you don't work hard, our TVB will lose to them!"
Lu Yanqun sighed: "I heard that Sir Wei is increasing his shareholding, so let him be in charge of these things at the TV station!"
Li Xiaohe patted his wife's gentle hand, he knew the news early on, in terms of age, Shaw is two years older than him, but with the other party's financial resources, even if he increases his shareholding, he will not dare to attack him, otherwise the Lee family can defeat all the industries under Shaw's command with just one blow, and he doesn't care about the strength of Shaw's Brothers Film Company.
"Ah Qiang handed me a notebook, it's very interesting!"
"Is that Shao Zhengqiang outside?"
"It's him, maybe he can change the decline of TVB!" Li Xiaohe signaled the secretary to bring people in, and felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, TVB was created by him, but there is no successor, don't say that several children are not interested, even the wife who helps him take care of the TV station has a cold reaction, as long as he closes his eyes, the TV station will change hands immediately.
The secretary went out for a while, and soon led Wang Zifan and Shao Zhengqiang in, and faced the famous figures in Hong Kong, Shao Zhengqiang was a little cramped, but Wang Zifan was very calm.
Li Xiaohe smiled: "Ah Qiang, what is the name of this post-born child?"
Wang Zifan took two steps forward and introduced himself: "My name is Wang Zifan!"
Shao Zhengqiang respectfully added: "Chairman, madam, the screenwriter of "Shanghi Beach" is Fan Zai!"
Looking at the young and high-spirited Wang Zifan, Li Xiaohe asked with interest: "You wrote "Shanghai Beach"?"
Wang Zifan said confidently: "Yes, chairman, "Shanghi Beach" will definitely be a big hit!"
Li Xiaohe couldn't help laughing, not happy that "Shanghi Beach" was a big hit, but that Wang Zifan's youthful temperament infected him.
Lu Yanqun's heart moved, her husband's greatest wish is to save TVB ratings, if "Shanghi Beach" can really defeat Li, her husband must be very happy, thinking of this, she couldn't help but say: "We have read the script of Shanghi Beach, although we only wrote the first two episodes, but the story background setting is very good, you can try it!"
Li Xiaohe sighed and smiled: "Li's TV station launched a three-line long-form serial series in prime time, which completely destroyed our TVB diversified program settings, what should we do, if we want to win the ratings, we can only produce serials to deal with it, "Shanghi Beach", you can shoot well, I will personally send you a bonus after filming!"
Shao Zhengqiang said happily: "Thank you, chairman, thank you, madam!"
Wang Zifan pretended to be tender and asked: "Chairman, how much is the salary of TV station screenwriters?"
Li Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, as the chairman, he naturally knows the treatment of his employees, and screenwriters work on a salary, but excellent screenwriters often choose to be directors and producers, and only some mediocre and unmotivated people will be willing to stay in the creative department, so TVB's screenwriter treatment is the lowest in the industry.
Lu Yanqun asked, "You are not an employee of the TV station?"
Wang Zifan shook his head and said, "I haven't signed a contract yet!"
Lu Yanqun was also stunned, if he didn't sign a contract, it means that he didn't have a salary, and he naturally had to pay for filming someone's "Shanghi Beach"!
Li Xiao clasped his palms together and asked calmly, "How much do you want?"
Shao Zhengqiang didn't interject, before he came, he was afraid that Wang Zifan would not understand the market, so he introduced the screenwriter salary system in detail, 500 per episode for gold medal screenwriters, 300 per episode for ordinary screenwriters, 200 per episode for newcomer screenwriters, a total of 20 episodes of "Shanghi Beach", and the asking price cannot exceed 10,000!
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Poof!"
As soon as Wang Zifan opened his mouth, Shao Zhengqiang almost choked to death with saliva, 200,000? Just now he clearly said that it can't exceed 10,000! Fan Zai is too bold.
Li Xiaohe said lightly: "Young man, you can't be too greedy!"
Lu Yanqun frowned, twenty episodes of TV series, the asking price is 200,000, an average of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, Jin Yong and Ni Frame are not so outrageous!
Wang Zifan made a military order and opened his mouth to say: "The script is worth the price! Of course, when the episode is broadcast, the chairman thinks that I want a high price, and I can serve the TV station for three years free of charge!"
Li Xiaohe flipped through the script and said with a smile: "Very interesting bet, I haven't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time, I promise you, as long as the ratings beat Li's, it will be worth 200,000!"
Shao Zhengqiang was dumbfounded, it was really done! Is there any mistake, he has not earned 200,000 yuan in three years after joining wireless, but Fan Zai is so bold that he dares to fool the chairman! He doesn't dare to guarantee that "Shang Hi Tan" will be a big hit, where does Fan Zai get the confidence!
Seeing her husband's high interest, Lu Yanqun swallowed back the words of opposition, whether it was 2,000 or 200,000 yuan, it was a drop in the bucket for their couple, on the contrary, seeing her husband's enthusiastic eyes, she was willing to spend another two million, she happily signed a check for 200,000 yuan and handed it to Wang Zifan, and nodded with a smile, and quipped: "If you lose, don't regret it!"
Shao Zhengqiang saw Wang Zifan stunned in place, and said enviously: "Thank you Madame!"
With such a big family, you won't cheat, right?
Wang Zifan hesitated to take the check, and laughed in his heart: It's impossible, if this kind of thing spreads, the whole family will be disgraced, and 200 million will not be able to recover the consequences!
