Chapter 0198 This ATV is also very pitiful

The Peninsula Hotel.
This is the oldest hotel in Xiangjiang.
In 1845, the British colonies forced the imperial government to sign an agreement to lease the Hong Kong River. In 1928, the British established the Peninsula Hotel. In 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the empire defeated many rivals and reclaimed Hong Kong in 1945.
Although the management of The Peninsula Hotel is still in the hands of the Kadoorie family, the majority shareholder has long since become a Chinese.
When Li Yue arrived at the hotel with Ye Xuan, the time was just right, and after handing over the car keys to the doorman, Ye Xuan took Li Yue's arm and led him into the reception hall.
The two of them were originally very conspicuous on the street, but at the drinking party, they became very ordinary, and even slightly shabby.
Think about it!
Today's reception is attended by famous artists, fashion celebrities, and showbiz bigwigs in Xiangjiang, who are very particular about clothing and accessories. Even if an artist with a shy bag attends a cocktail party like today, he will inevitably find a way to rent a few high-grade clothes.
In this way, Li Yue's clothes are not conspicuous.
There are some black suits standing at the door of the banquet hall, don't get me wrong, this is not a black club, these people are just hotel security guards. After all, today is either a rich person or a famous person, and the hotel naturally does not dare to underestimate it.
"Hello, please come in!" took the invitation letter in Ye Xuan's hand, and saw that it was Mr. Cha, chairman of Mingli Group and chairman of Asia Television, and hurriedly and respectfully let him go.
"What is the relationship between Yuhuang and Mingli Group?" Li Yue asked after taking two drinks from the waiter and handing one to Ye Xuan.
In fact, after reading the invitation letter today, he has always wanted to ask about it.
"There's no official connection, it's just the chairman's personal relationship!" Ye Xuan replied with a smile after taking the drink.
"Oh!" Li Yue nodded.
"Mr. Cha is the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Television and has a great face in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Thinking that Li Yue might not be familiar with Zha Maosheng, Ye Xuan explained again.
Asia Television?
Li Yue's heart moved.
He thought of a piece of information he had obtained in the fifth dimension.
In that world, Asia Television can be described as ill-fated, changing hands several times during the period, and finally stopped broadcasting due to equity disputes.
"How's the ATV doing?"
Although Ye Xuan didn't understand why Li Yue was interested in this, he still replied very seriously: "It's not good! ATV's funding situation is not very optimistic recently. ”
"The strength of Mingli Group is good, how can there be a shortage of funds?" Li Yue is a little unclear, therefore, he has carefully understood some large companies in Xiangjiang, and he has a clear understanding of the strength of Mingli Group.
In January last year, Mr. Cha spent HK$1.1 billion to join ATV, and in April, Mr. Cha hired Fei Daoyi, the former director of TVB, as the chief executive officer, and poached Ho Dingjun, the general manager of TVB, as the chief operating officer.
Not only that, Mr. Cha also spent a lot of money to dig up a lot of talents for ATV at that time, not only Ouyang Zhenghua, Luo Jialiang, Zhang Jiahui, Xuanxuan, Guo Keyin, Chen Huishan, Cai Shaofen and other first-line stars, but also invited He Liquan, Zeng Xingming and other behind-the-scenes ministers, which cost a lot of money.
Moreover, in July last year, Mr. Cha also took the initiative to rent a new building for ATV on the broadcast channel. These funds were basically invested by Mr. Cha, and other shareholders were reluctant to continue to inject capital. ”
Listening to Ye Xuan's introduction to the situation, Li Yue also compared the information obtained in the fifth dimension in his heart.
Obviously, many things in this world are completely different from those in the fifth dimension.
This Mr. Cha's investment in ATV is really large enough, just listening to Ye Xuan, it is estimated that Mr. Cha's investment in last year has been astronomical.
"Then he injected capital several times, presumably the current equity is already very large!?" Li Yue thought about it and asked again.
"Well, Mr. Cha used 1.1 billion funds to buy 54% of the shares at that time, and last year there were several additional investments, and other small shareholders were unwilling to make additional investments, so they chose to dilute the shares, according to the ATV statement in December last year, Mr. Cha already held 76% of the shares!" Ye Xuan said with a sip of drink.
"What's been going on lately?" Li Yue continued.
"I heard that ATV is planning to convert the original ordinary channel to a digital channel, and a lot of content has been revised, but the specific content is not clear. ”
"Then how do you know that Mr. Cha's funds are wrong? He told my mother?"
"Well, Mr. Cha originally planned to get an investment from our company, but the chairman has no interest in investing in the TV station, especially since ATV has been losing money year after year, which is really not a good investment target!" Ye Xuan nodded and replied as a matter of course.
Li Yue fell silent.
He is very dissatisfied with the current investment direction of Yuhuang Investment Group, and if possible, maybe Asia TV is a good choice.
ATV may still lose money in the hands of others, but it may not be in the hands of others.
With so much entertainment information in the fifth dimension, he has reason to believe that with the support of so many TV series, variety shows and other planning projects, ATV can even sweep the Chinese cultural circle!
"Will Mr. Cha come today?" It was only a short thought, and Li Yue had some thoughts in his heart.
After all, it is the top drinking party in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and Mr. Cha should attend. What's wrong?Mr. Li, do you want to see Mr. Cha?" Ye Xuan was a little confused by Li Yue's words.
"Well, I want to talk to him about Yuhuang Group's investment in ATV!" Li Yue said without hesitation.
Ye Xuan is someone close to Xin Yuyuan, so she doesn't care about hiding this kind of thing.
"The board of directors won't agree!" Ye Xuan knew very well the urine nature of the small shareholders on the board of directors of the company, which was really the master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles.
Li Yue smiled when she heard this, stretched out a finger and said, "First, my mother is the chairman, and we have the absolute controlling stake in our hands, and their opinions are not important!"
Then he stretched out another finger and continued: "Second, if Yuhuang is not willing to invest, I am willing to invest privately!"
Ye Xuan saw Li Yue talking about official business for the first time, and saw that although Li Yue was smiling, he was so domineering when he said it, and he was also deeply admired.
But ATV's bottomless pit is really not so easy to fill, she still persuaded: "Mr. Li, ATV is really a bottomless pit, and there are several rich people who have fallen into the sand on it, it is really not worth investing!"
"I have a number in my heart! I'll see Mr. Cha in a while, maybe people still don't look down on me as young as I am!" Li Yue shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile. (To be continued.) )
