Chapter 617 Coming to the door to ask for the "King of Ships" Bao Yugang
Hong Kong Cable Television is a pay TV channel founded by Hong Kong Cable Broadband Communications Company, which just obtained a pay TV operation license issued by the Hong Kong government in June last year, and then officially launched in October. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Speaking of which, Hong Kong cable TV is still quite awesome, although it started at the latest, far later than TVB and ATV, but it is the pioneer of Hong Kong's multi-channel pay TV. You must know that TVB and ATV were free before, after all, selling advertising is the king, but Hong Kong cable TV is directly involved in the field of charging, which can be described as a daring artist.
Not to mention, Hong Kong Cable TV is really awesome, and later it really made him do it, with more than 500,000 fixed users and more than 5 million people covered. Even Hong Kong Cable TV was later called the first of the five major media in Hong Kong.
Hehe, but in the end, it is still difficult to escape the loss situation, and it is only one step away from stopping the broadcast.
Regardless, Hong Kong's cable television is still very attractive, and most importantly, its fee-based business philosophy is quite compatible with Murdoch's News Corp. in some ways. Therefore, Hong Kong cable TV will become the second choice in the Murdoch plan after startv, and it is more related to the success or failure of News Corp.'s "Asia strategy".
As for why Su Chenyu chose Hong Kong Cable TV to "take the blame" for himself, it is very simple, because he is very familiar with the big boss behind Hong Kong Cable TV, and he believes that the other party will definitely sell him a favor.
So, who is behind the big scenes of Hong Kong cable TV?
Speaking of which, I'm afraid it's really hard for you to believe that the big boss behind the Hong Kong cable TV station is none other than the famous "ship king" Bao Yugang.
Yes, Hong Kong Cable TV is part of the Wharf Group, so it goes without saying whose industry Wharf is, right?
In front of the "King of Boats" Bao Yugang, Su Chenyu thought that he was still a little "thin-faced", so he did not hesitate to throw out the Hong Kong cable TV station. In order to repay Murdoch's favor, Su Chenyu can be regarded as fighting, after all, the debt is the heaviest, not to mention, it is not a good thing to make an international media tycoon "think" all day long.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Su Chenyu was Murdoch, looking at Sky TV, which was originally not shining in his hands, suddenly rushed to Jiuxiao, Nima, how awkward he must have thought in his heart, just like eating a fly. Therefore, even if Su Chenyu is not afraid of Murdoch or anything, he must eliminate the knots in Murdoch's heart as soon as possible, and everyone will have to "play" together in the future.
Besides, do you really think that Hong Kong cable TV is a good thing? Hehe, don't be funny, if it were really that good, the Hong Kong cable TV station in the future would not have been stopped by Wharf from injecting funds. It turns out that it doesn't work to have paid cable TV in China, because since there are free ones, why do you have to watch paid ones - isn't it?
In addition, there is another important reason, that is, Su Chenyu would rather owe the "King of Ships" Bao Yugang a favor than a debt to Murdoch. It's very simple, because Bao Yugang is Chinese and his own people, and Murdoch is an outsider, his own people and outsiders must believe in their own people.
After setting the goal of Hong Kong Cable TV with Murdoch, Su Chenyu personally visited the "Boat King" Bao Yugang, this matter must be unclear on the phone, not to mention that such a big thing can be said on the phone?
In the mansion in Repulse Bay, Su Chenyu was warmly received by the "Boat King" Bao Yugang, looking at Bao Yugang, who was still relatively healthy, Su Chenyu was still relatively "pleased". Yes, yes, it is "gratifying", because it can be said that it was Su Chenyu who gave the "ship king" Bao Yugang a second life, which can be regarded as a proof that Su Dashao, a "traveler", changed history - it proves that he really came, and he left something.
You must know that in the previous life, the "King of Ships" Bao Yugang died of illness in September 1991, but now it is 1994, and Bao Yugang is still alive and well. It was precisely because Su Chenyu reminded the "Boat King" to check his body in advance that he finally discovered the lesion in advance, and then disposed of it in time, and now he is alive and well.
However, after this serious illness, Bao Yugang also saw it completely, so he chose to retire early and retire for the rest of his life. Therefore, although Bao Yugang still has the titles of Wharf and Wheelock, the specific affairs have all been handed over to his son-in-law Wu Huanzhen to handle, and the rest of the time, Bao Yugang is enjoying his old age in peace.
Sitting in the garden, Bao Yugang smiled and said to Su Chenyu: "Xiao Su, when did you come to Hong Kong?"
"Old man, I just came here a few days ago, and I was going to come to see your old man a few days ago, because some things have been delayed, don't be surprised by your old age. On the other side, Lord "Boat King", Su Chenyu was quite respectful, and said with a gift from his juniors: "My father asked me to bring you a few specialties from your hometown, I hope you can like it." ā
Nodding with a smile, Bao Yugang said: "Brother Su is really bothered, some time ago we talked on the phone, and I mentioned that I miss the things I ate in my hometown when I was a child. I didn't expect Brother Su to take it to heart, it really tormented me. ā
"You're too outward-looking, it's all trivial. Su Chenyu smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "Old man, we are not outsiders, I came to see you today in addition to visiting you, there are some things that require you to be old." ā
Stretching out his hand and pointing at Su Chenyu, Bao Yugang smiled and said, "You little monkey, you said that we are not outsiders, just say anything directly." ā
With the consent of the "Boat King" Bao Yugang, Su Chenyu thought about it and said, "You should also know that I received the other 50% of the shares of startv in the hands of the second young man of the Li family, right?"
Nodding, how could Bao Yugang not know about this kind of thing, so he said: "I know about this matter, it is said that you have also invested in the new company of the second son of the Li family?
"Yes. Su Chenyu continued to nod, and then said: "It was because of this incident that the next thing came out, and I had to come to beg you to be old!"
Some were confused by Su Chenyu, and the "Boat King" Bao Yugang asked suspiciously: "What is the matter? Can you still stump you, a monkey boy, and still come to beg me?"
"Here's the thing, I ......"
