After solving the internal and external troubles, Mark immediately flew to Xiangjiang to participate in the party of the Shaw family, which was attended by many top business celebrities in Xiangjiang, including several bigwigs from the Xiangjiang International Rescue Center.

Shao Yifu has the least wealth among several super-rich, but he is the oldest, and he is highly respected, with his family's financial resources, it is not enough to play this kind of house of cards-style game, he coughed dryly, and interjected: "The business we are engaged in now can only be said to be a career, I used to make money, but I used it to improve my life, live a luxurious life, luxury cars, mansions, yachts, and bags, female stars, just a rich man, and now it is the world that is what the consortium does." Speaking of the adopted female star, the nearly ninety old guy approached Mark and said, "We have a common hobby. ”

As a tycoon in the film industry for decades, can he Shao Lao Liu play with fewer women? That makes him as rich as Li Superman, and if he wants to play as a female star, he must take out a check, a villa or a luxury car, but for tycoons like Shao Yifu and Mark, as long as you hook your fingers.

Mark is lustful, it's no secret in front of these big guys, Mark said: "Men are not and still called men?"

Shao Yifu approached and said, "If you like that girl, tell me and arrange it for you." ”

Mark said frankly: "I Mark doesn't need anyone to pimp, as long as I say my name, there will be a beautiful woman to open a room with me." In fact, his two little lovers were flying in from South Korea, and Xiao Bisheng was newly married and came to meet again.

Shao Yifu laughed and said: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. ”

Mark said: "The front wave did not die on the beach. ”

Today's business party allows these business tycoons to talk about life and ideals, and it is also the bottom of Shao Yifu's attempt to try people from all walks of life.

Shao Yifu walked over again with the support of two young beauties, and he said with a smile: "You don't seem to have a female companion?"

Mark said, "My girlfriend is in the suite, how are we thinking about the acquisition?"

Born in 1907, now 1001 years old, Shaw Yifu is the honorary chairman of Heung Kong Television Broadcasts Co., Ltd., one of the founders of the Shaw Brothers Film Company, among the eight brothers and sisters of the Shao family, he is the sixth, known as "Shao Lao Liu" in the old Shanghai era, and was honored as "Sixth Uncle" after coming to Hong Kong, Shaw established the Shaw Brothers Film Company in Hong Kong in 1958, and has shot more than 1,000 Chinese films, and his Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB, commonly known as TVB) dominates Hong Kong's television industry.

Shao Yifu is true love for TVB, in order to concentrate on the TV business, he did not hesitate to end the Shaw Brothers Film Company, but he is old, he is currently the world's longest-lived, the oldest CEO of a listed company, but there is no follow-up, his children and grandchildren are more inclined to enjoy in Nanyang than to run TVB.

In the original version, in 2011, the founder of Heung Kong Television Broadcasting, Shaw Yifu, sold his 26% controlling stake, together with the land in Clear Water Bay in the New Territories, to Li Ka-shing's close friend and wealthy tycoon Chan Kwok-keung, known as the "Shell King", for HK$8.6 billion, and the Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority has approved the transaction, officially ending TVB's more than 40-year era of Shaw Yifu.

Since Shao Yifu announced the sale of all his TVB shares, a consortium including Hong Kong tycoon Chen Guoqiang, "Taiwan's richest man" Wang Xuehong, MM Group, etc., are all interested in acquiring the 114 million shares held by Shaw Brothers, which accounts for about 26% of TVB's shares and is the largest controlling party.

Shao Yifu's influence on TVB is absolute, whether it is Chen Guoqiang or Wang Xuehong, they all intend to win TVB, but they never dare to take only half of it, for fear that Shao Yifu will trap them, and they have no experience in the media industry, which has always made investors worry about whether they have the ability to operate TVB, no matter who Shao Yifu sells TVB to, the offer must be the first priority, and at the same time consider the future of the company, they have more than 5,000 employees to support, many of whom are old employees who have been with him for twenty or thirty years, and they have a lifelong friendship, which is also what he has to consider。

For Mark, Shao Yifu admires it so much, he can build a media empire in a few years, he knows how difficult it is, such an amazing and brilliant character is rare in his 100 years of life, Mark and his MM Group, there is no such thing as not running TVB well.

This MM made an offer to acquire, and TVB's stock price immediately rose, which is that the market is optimistic about them, and TVB can increase their competitiveness by joining the MM empire.

In recent years, Southeast Asian countries have successively legislated to support their own film and television industries, and the local forces are rising, and these film and television companies in Xiangjiang are not like Hollywood, with the backing of Midi, the living space has been squeezed, and the market share has declined sharply.

TVB operates 2 free-to-air television stations: Jade Channel: Hong Kong's highest-rated Chinese television station. Pearl TV (T TVB is a free English TV channel. During prime time, Pearl was the most-watched English-language television channel in Hong Kong, with an average rating of about 70% (2005). Most of Pearl Channel's programs are purchased programs.

In Southeast Asia, TVB directly operates 2 satellite TV stations, and TVB currently has 3 pay TV stations, which are broadcast on TVB's Galaxy TV.

Since its opening in 1969, TVB was located at 77 Broadcast Road, Kowloon Tong, and in the 90s, TVB invested in the establishment of a "TV City" in Tai Po Tsai, near the original "Shaw Brothers Studio", in Clear Water Bay, Sai Kung. It is reported that Run Run Shaw originally planned to build a TV City on the site of the current Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, because the location is close to the Shaw Brothers studio and the environment is extremely beautiful. When the news broke that the Hong Kong government had decided to build HKUST on the site, Run Run Shaw was furious. Therefore, as a great philanthropist in Hong Kong, he has rarely donated a single penny to HKUST for many years.

In 2001, the TV station moved its factory to the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, and the total area of the new TV City in Tseung Kwan O is about 110,000 square feet, which is about 30% of that of Clear Water Bay, and the broadcast of the new TV City is all digital. The relocation began at the end of 2002 and was completed in October 2003.

In terms of overseas business, TVB established Television Broadcasts (International) Limited in 1976 to provide television programme production, pay TV, satellite channels and video rental services to overseas regions. The acquisition of TVB is a shortcut for MM to enter Southeast Asia, just as News Corp. acquired Phoenix TVB.

TVB's annual charity fundraising programs include "Joy in Tung Wah" and "Star-Filled Po Leung". Other large-scale programmes, such as the Taiwan Celebration and the "Miss Hong Kong" election at the end of July each year, are broadcast overseas. TVB's dramas are also well-known internationally, and many Hong Kong stars started their film and television careers on TVB, such as Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, etc.

Hong Kong is still one of the few places in the world where artists from various TV stations cannot "communicate", but if TVB joins MM, its artists will have more room and opportunities for development, and they can use MM's platform to go global.

In the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers ventured into the fast-growing television industry, partnering with TVB to train artists. In 1973, Run Run Shaw held the first Miss Hong Kong Audition, which became the most representative beauty pageant in Hong Kong.

Shao Yifu started with films, and the Shaw Brothers films dominated the sixties and seventies, and in the early eighties, Shao Yifu became the largest shareholder of TVB and served as the chairman of the board of directors. During the same period, Shaw Brothers' film business continued to shrink, reducing the number of films, and in 1985 it sold all theatrical chains, and by May 1987, Shaw Brothers announced that it would cease producing films, and from the time Shaw Brothers put it into production to the time when production was suspended, Shaw Brothers had produced more than 1,000 films.

Later, seeing that the film market was profitable, Shaw Brothers cooperated with China Star Film Company to invest HK$1.1 billion in the "Hong Kong Film City" in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, which opened in mid-2005. The studio's facilities include a post-production center, an administration building, a photography studio, a cinema and an exhibition hall, but no influential production has been released

In 2007, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Shaw Brothers Company, Shao Yifu ushered in the 100th birthday, which Mark admired.

On November 15, 2002, the 97-year-old Sir Run Run Shaw announced the establishment of the "Shaw Prize" regardless of race, nationality, religion and belief, which is an annual international award that will recognize outstanding contributions to astronomy, mathematics and life sciences and medicine from all over the world, each award is awarded 1 million US dollars, which is higher than the 950,000 US dollars of the Nobel Prize, the highest international natural science award, so it is called the "Nobel Prize of the East in the 21st century".

Shaw Yifu holds 74.58% of the equity of his listed flagship company, Shaw Brothers, with a market value of 5.6 billion yuan, and at the same time, he controls 32% of the equity of TVB, which has a market value of more than 200 billion yuan, through Shaw Brothers and Shaw Fund, becoming a single major shareholder.

Shao Yifu is not the richest person in Hong Kong, but he is one of the few philanthropists among the wealthy people in Hong Kong, and his influence in Hong Kong comes from his film and television kingdom, and his reputation in the mainland is mainly because of his charitable donations. According to statistics, Shaw Yifu has donated more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to social welfare and charity over the years, and built more than 6,000 education and medical projects. Especially for education and science and technology, Shao Yifu's donated education funds are all over the land of China, and many colleges and universities in China have Shao Yifu's named "Shaw Building". The construction of a number of post-secondary institutions in Hong Kong has been donated by Shaw Yifu, such as Shaw College of the University of Chinese Hong Kong, Shaw Building of the University of Hong Kong, and The Shaw Library of the City University of Hong Kong.

This point is even the richest man in China, and later became Li Chaoren, which is not comparable, which is also the reason why Mark respects him, MM enters the Asian market, it is a foregone conclusion, if the other party does not cooperate, MM has a way to clean up the opponent, whether it is legitimate business competition, or it is not fair, they have the means, with the support of Midi behind the back, their expansion in the global siege and plundering areas, even if it is to hurt people, with the advantage of capital, they can drag down the opponent, but Mark did not do this, has always been sincere, hoping to resolve disputes through dialogue, and also make the use of coercion and inducement commonly used in the shopping mall。

At present, MM's conditions are the best, the whole company tends to cooperate with MM, they are Hollywood, that is, the world's most powerful film and television production company, with an astonishing 20% share in Hollywood, and at least three of the ten highest-grossing films every year are from their hands, becoming a member of MM, which means more resources and job opportunities.

MM Asia has decided to set up a production center in Hong Kong, where a considerable number of films and dramas will be diverted to production in the future, providing at least 5,000 jobs, which is what Shao Yifu values more.

Moreover, in MM's global strategy, Xiangjiang is just a bridgehead, what they really value is the mainland market with a population of 1.3 billion, which is also supporting the local market, and there are not many regulations restricting foreign capital, so they decided to enter this market in the form of investment cooperation, so as to avoid all kinds of restrictions.
