――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Shao Yifu was in the hospital for almost a month before being discharged, and although he recovered well, he was fortunate to have no serious sequelae.
But he was already in his eighties, and when he suffered from this serious illness, his whole body was crossed.
The spirit is much worse than before.
And after the ghost gate was closed once, some of the things that I had been pursuing and clinging to in my heart seemed to become unimportant all of a sudden.
The ancients said: Life is rare for eighty years.
He is 82 years old today, and he still has a few years to live? Every time he thinks of this, he can't help but sigh, and he feels sad in his heart.
A week before the pageant night.
Shao Yifu had a free conversation with Wei Xiong in the study, and no one knew what the two Hong Kong film and television tycoons said in the study.
I only knew that TVB would change the sky the next day.
Shao Yifu transferred 12% of his 28% TVB shares to Wei Xiong, and his four children and confidante Fang Yihua each received 2%.
He himself kept only 6%.
At the same time, he resigned as the chairman of the board of directors of TVB and recommended He Chaoqiong as the chairman of the board. In addition, Fang Yihua also resigned as president of TVB.
Transferred to the Executive Director of the Board.
At the subsequent meeting of the board of directors of TVB, He Chaoqiong, whose belly was already visibly bulging, was successfully elected as the chairman of the board of directors of TVB.
Shaw Yifu is the permanent honorary chairman of the board of directors of TVB.
All this happened so fast, not to mention the media before that, even the top management of TVB did not receive any news.
Completely unprepared.
However, most of TVB's staff are still very optimistic about changing the boss, after all, Phoenix Satellite TV's experience is vivid.
The next day, the headlines in the Hong Kong newspapers were all about the incident.
For example, the title of "Ming Pao" -- Spanning the Xiangjiang River for decades, but the years are ruthless; can the eagle finally become the hegemon?
Another example is the headline of "Tiantian Daily" -- TVB Becomes the Sky! Wei Xiong has entered the house strongly.
You must know that after this share and personnel change, Weixiong not only officially took TVB into his pocket, but also formed a de facto monopoly.
Phoenix TV and TVB together account for more than 90% of the Hong Kong and Macau TV market.
It is crushing to ATV.
Coupled with the "Daily Daily", the largest newspaper in Hong Kong today, since then, the biggest public opinion tool in Hong Kong and Macao has been in the hands of Wei Xiong.
Don't underestimate public opinion, sometimes public opinion is more terrible than any weapon.
Many things that cannot even be solved by atomic bombs are sometimes completely vulnerable in the face of the war of public opinion, and this is the real terrible thing about public opinion.
Kill people directly invisibly.
In addition to paying attention to the outcome of the incident, the media is also speculating about what happened when Wei Xiong went to Shao Yifu's house that day.
……
In Shao Yifu's office, Wei Xiong and He Chaoqiong were talking about TVB reform and some personnel changes.
As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier.
Now that TVB has fallen into the hands of Wei Xiong, it is naturally Wei Xiong who has the final say, and some untimely people and things should naturally make some changes.
"The separation of production and broadcasting must be carried out. ”
"Now TVB institutions are seriously rigid, not to mention the lack of innovation ability, and empty resources, I will not allow this situation to continue. ”
"Personnel transfers can be carried out at the same time as institutional reforms. ”
Wei Xiong held He Chaoqiong in his arms and gently stroked He Chaoqiong's bulging belly: "But the scope of personnel transfer should not be too large." ”
"After all, we just took over TVB. ”
"Of course, those who eat and wait for death all day long, or who come in and get in with their superiors by connections, are not allowed to stay, and they are all swept out. ”
He Chaoqiong nodded.
"Have you figured out the name of the new company?"
"Let's call it 'Lianyi', Lianyi Film and Television Production Company. ”
Regarding the independence of TVB's drama production department and artist department and the establishment of a new company together, in fact, Wei Xiong had talked to He Chaoqiong before.
Initially, there were two options.
One is naturally to set up a new company, and the other is to merge the drama production department and the artist department with Tianheng Film and Television and Weishi Agency respectively.
But the second plan was later rejected by Wei Xiong.
There are two reasons, first, TVB's equity is too complicated, and it is a listed company, if it really wants to merge, it is too complicated to operate.
Second, create competitors for Tianheng Film and Television and Wei's Brokerage.
Since the establishment of Tianheng Film and Television, there have also been other film and television production companies in Hong Kong, but they are all very large-scale and small-scale.
It is impossible to pose a substantial threat to Tianheng Film and Television.
Of course, there will be nothing in the near future, but in the long run, Tianheng Film and Television will definitely gradually become lax and sluggish, which is obviously something Wei Xiong cannot allow.
So it is necessary to create an opponent.
"By the way, when you went to Shao Yifu's house that day, what they talked about, I was also quite curious. He Chaoqiong turned his head to look at Wei Xiong.
"Actually, I didn't say anything......
――――――
"Sit down. ”
Shao Yifu sat in the rocking chair and gently gestured to the sofa.
"How is Shibo recovering these days?" Wei Xiong asked with concern, from his eyes, Shao Yifu was almost 10 years older than a month ago.
Shao Yifu sighed.
"Boss, now I have to be helped to walk even a walk, it's really useless. Alas, let's not talk about that, I have a business to come to you today. ”
"Speak, Shibo. ”
"If I hand over TVB to you, what are you going to arrange? After all, it and Phoenix Satellite TV are both Hong Kong and Macao TV stations, and they are born with conflicts. ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiong smiled slightly.
In fact, when he received Shao Yifu's call, he probably guessed what Shao Yifu was looking for him, and he had already prepared a draft in his heart.
"I don't think they have a conflict. ”
"The co-existence of TVB and Phoenix Satellite TV just gives viewers more choices. Even if there is a conflict, it can be resolved. ”
"At the beginning of the acquisition of Phoenix TV, I formulated a policy of focusing on information. ”
This policy will continue to be implemented in the future. ”
"At present, the broadcast time of Phoenix Satellite TV's TV dramas and variety shows accounts for 60% of the broadcast time of the comprehensive channel, 20% of the information channel, and 40% of the American channel. ”
"Take the Information Desk, for example. ”
"At present, the types of information programs on the information station include current affairs, finance, military, science and education, sports, etc., and each type has a fixed viewing group. ”
"Although TV dramas and variety shows only account for 20% of the broadcast time. ”
"But the overall ratings are not much worse than those of the comprehensive station. In the next six months, the information channel will completely cancel TV dramas and variety shows. ”
"If Shibo really hands over TVB to me. ”
"I will once again shorten the broadcast time of TV dramas and variety shows on the comprehensive station, and truly implement the policy of focusing on information programs. ”
"In this way, the competition between the two stations will be minimized. ”
At the beginning of taking over Phoenix Satellite TV, in order to ensure ratings, Phoenix Satellite TV had to maintain a high broadcast time for TV dramas and variety shows.
But now Phoenix TV has completed the transformation.
In addition, the TV signal has also covered all countries in North America and Western and Northern Europe last month, and the audience has been greatly expanded.
In this case, although the reduction of the broadcast time of TV dramas and variety shows has an impact, it will not be very large.
And only temporarily.
He believes that Phoenix TV, which focuses on information, will be more recognized by the audience and will help it become an authoritative and credible brand.
When the time comes, ratings and income, etc., everything will not be a problem.
Shao Yifu is very satisfied with Wei Xiong's answer, TVB is his hard work, even if he leaves, he doesn't want to see it lonely one day.
This is also the main reason why he prefers to be succeeded by Wei Xiong.
"Well, then how are you going to arrange Ah Hua?" This was the only hesitation left in his heart, and it was also something he had to consider.
"Knock knock knock. ”
"Come in. Shao Yifu's voice fell, a servant pushed the door and walked in, and after the maid put down the coffee and went out, Wei Xiong took a sip of the coffee.
"Shibo and Miss Fang have known each other for decades, and Miss Fang should be very clear about the other party's personality. ”
"Whether it is from the emotional or practical considerations, Miss Fang is definitely unwilling to give up TVB, and you should be very clear about this. ”
"So for the sake of the company's stability, Miss Fang will definitely not be able to continue to serve as president. ”
"I can let him serve as an executive director of the board of directors, participate in the company's decision-making and be in charge of the company's finances, what do you think of this arrangement?"
Shao Yifu couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't answer Wei Xiong's question, but asked in a lonely tone: "If I hand over TVB to Ah Hua, will you not agree?"
This question was somewhat unexpected by Wei Xiong.
He groaned and said, "You and I are world friends, if Shibo passes on the family business to the younger generations of the family, I naturally have nothing to say." ”
"But if it's Miss Fang, please forgive me. ”
"Hehe, you're telling the truth. Shao Yifu shook his head and chuckled: "Alas, that's it, on the table is the share transfer contract I have prepared."
――――――
"It seems that he should have decided to hand over TVB to you a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have drafted the share transfer contract before he talked about it. ”
He Chaoqiong nodded thoughtfully.
"He really cares about TVB, otherwise just from personal emotional considerations, he is more likely to hand over TVB to Fang Yihua, which I admire. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiong seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.
"When I left that day, I met Fang Yihua in the living room, I don't know if she knew it earlier, and her face turned ugly with hundreds of millions. ”
"Hehehe......"
He Chaoqiong turned around and glanced at Wei Xiong: "She has been in TVB for almost ten years, and she has been the president for two years, so I'm afraid she has long thought about accepting TVB in the future." ”
Now that she has been intervened, it is no wonder that she can be happy. ”
"Wasn't her face very ugly at the board meeting that day, so I was worried that she would oppose the reform when it was submitted to the board. ”
Wei Xiong smiled faintly.
"It's useless for her to object, yesterday I met with my wife, and she has already said that she will fully support you on the board of directors in the future. ”
The ancestors of the Ritchie family amassed their wealth by selling opium.
He then ran real estate and other businesses to become a family. In 1967, Lee Hau-wo founded the Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Company Limited (TVB) together with Shaw Just-in-Wo and others.
Became the first Chairman of the Board.
In 1980, after Li Xiaohe died of a heart attack, his wife Li Lu Yanqun served as a director of TVB on behalf of Li Xiaohe family, until today.
After Shaw Yifu transferred and distributed his TVB shares,
With a 31.7% stake, Wei Xiong became the largest shareholder of TVB, and the Li Xiaohe family still maintained its position as the second largest shareholder with 17.2%.
The Shaw family became the third largest shareholder with 16%.
In the case that Wei Xiong did not obtain a controlling position, the Li Xiaohe family, as the second largest shareholder, still has a great say in the board of directors.
"That's fine. ”
He Chaoqiong nodded.
"You don't have to be too busy, just grasp the direction, you don't have to do everything yourself, the most important thing is to give birth to the baby healthily. ”
"Got it. ”
He Chaoqiong couldn't help but touch her stomach.
As her belly grew bigger day by day, the feeling of life being conceived in her body became clearer and clearer, which filled her heart with joy.
Before dating Wei Xiong, she thought about not having children in her life.
But the world is unpredictable.
Not only did she marry a man with a heart, but she also served a husband with other women. And in a few months, her baby will be born.
……
The reform plan was unsurprisingly opposed by Fang Yihua, but in the end, after voting, the plan was successfully passed, and the news spread.
The entire TVB was immediately panicked.
Because according to the reform plan, some people will definitely leave, especially those who are incapable, and they have been completely eating and waiting for death before.
But no one was able to organize the reform.
Even if there are some self-righteous old people who sue Shao Yifu, it is useless, in Shao Yifu's words: if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.
It took two months for TVB to complete the separation of production and broadcasting, and established Lianyi Film and Television Production Company.
It is not affiliated with TVB.
Later, after the board of directors voted to approve TVB and Lianyi Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. officially became subsidiaries of Webster Media Group.
This resolution is undoubtedly beneficial to TVB and Lianyi Film and Television.
It is easier to access and share the vast resources of the entire Webster system. Therefore, even Fang Yihua did not object when she voted.
However, she did not approve of it, but abstained.
Before TVB was officially split, Wei Xiong also did one thing, that is, to increase his shareholding in TVB through the stock market, reaching 38.4%.
Of course, that's all for later.
Not long after Wei Xiong got his wish and officially incorporated TVB into his hands, Hong Kong's annual event, Beauty Pageant Night, was about to begin.
Compared with last year, this year's excitement is not inferior.
Since the end of the semi-finals and before the semi-finals, the hype of the three major beauty pageants has gradually reached a climax, and each has its own focus on hype.
The favorite to win Miss Hong Kong is Chen Farong.
Chen Farong is not only beautiful in appearance, but also a real high degree of education, she graduated from the University of Toronto, Canada, and is now studying at the University of Hawaii.
Due to his outstanding academic achievements, he has won a number of academic awards and scholarships.
And this point is also the focus of TVB's promotion, believing that Chen Farong fully meets the conditions for the coexistence of wisdom and beauty in modern Hong Kong women.
This really makes a difference.
After all, among the millions of people in Hong Kong, some people are still rational when looking at beauty pageants, and they don't just pay attention to the appearance and figure of the beauty pageants.
As for Sister Ya, there are a few good seedlings this year.
Weng Hong, Zhao Jingyi, Wu Yongwei and Yuan Jieyi are all favorites to win the championship, among which Weng Hong is the most popular and has attracted the most media attention.
Weng Hong not only has a beautiful appearance,
And because of his graduation from the Dance Department of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, he not only has a good figure, but also has a very good temperament, which is very popular with the audience.
He is the biggest favorite to win the championship.
But the momentum is obviously inferior to Chen Farong, after all, although Weng Hong is beautiful, it has not yet reached the overwhelming level of Chen Mengyao.
In this case, the importance of the brand is revealed.
Miss Hong Kong has a history of 16 years, and it is undoubtedly better than Sister Asia in terms of brand recognition and audience reputation.
Even Lin Baixin couldn't deny this.
In fact, this year's ATV has taken the initiative to invite people to sign up, hoping to find another beauty of Chen Mengyao's level.
It's a pity that although there are many beauties in this world, there are very few who can be called stunning.
It is worth mentioning that in order to avoid the recurrence of such a thing as Chen Mengyao's departure, ATV originally considered signing contracts with several favorites to win the championship first.
But then Lin Baixin vetoed the proposal.
Because once a candidate is signed before the final, it will make the public and the media question the fairness of the competition, which is obviously not allowed.
Finally, Miss Phoenix.
Last year, because Chen Mengyao was overwhelming, the ratings of the Miss Phoenix finals had no choice but to rank second, and the champion Wan Qiwen was not as popular as Chen Mengyao.
Chen Mengyao is known as the 'most beautiful beauty pageant champion' in Hong Kong history, and her popularity can be imagined.
This year, however, the situation is clearly different.
The appearance of Li Ruotong made Miss Phoenix once again attract the attention of the first session, and Li Jiaxin was named the 'most beautiful beauty pageant champion' that year.
When the rematch is over,
When the semi-final beauties participated in a public welfare activity arranged by the program team, Li Ruotong attracted the attention of all the reporters who came to the interview.
The next day, Li Ruotong appeared on the front page of entertainment.
Her beauty and purity are unforgettable, especially the coldness and elegance that comes out of her bones, which is particularly impressive.
made her countless fans all of a sudden.
Whenever she appears in activities, you can see many fans who like her, and there have even been cases of male fans holding roses to publicly show their love.
There were a lot of journalists present.
And it was the first time she encountered this situation, and she was a little at a loss for a while, but fortunately, the staff invited the male fans who showed their love away from the scene in time.
Later, some media revealed that Li Ruotong was a flight attendant of Cathay Pacific Airways and worked as a flight attendant on Wei Xiong's private jet.
That's a good topic.
So the media almost revolves around this point.
Later, an entertainment tabloid broke the news that some tourists had seen Wei Xiong and Li Ruotong shopping together in Provence, a French tourist resort.
The two have an intimate demeanor and a suspicious relationship, which only reinforces the gossip enthusiasm of the media and the public.
