411 [Jiayi's Crisis]
At the beginning of the text, Wang Zijun had just made a promotional program in China Television, and before he had time to release a record, he received a call from Hong Kong Jiayi TV, saying that he must go to the board of directors two days later.
And the main content of the board of directors is actually about the loss of TV stations.
God is pitiful, since Jiayi TV started broadcasting a year ago, it has continuously launched "Upstairs and Downstairs", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and other dramas.
For the first time since the opening of the board, the board of directors actually discussed the issue of losses.
Although Wang Zijun had been prepared, he was even willing to see this situation so that he could have the opportunity to eat the shares of other shareholders. But when this happened, I was still a little angry in my heart, and I really wanted to stuff a piece of poop in the mouth of the general manager of the TV station.
"Qingxia, I may have to go to Hong Kong in two days. Jiayi TV held a board of directors, and those grandsons actually made a huge loss to a TV station with super high ratings. Wang Zijun hung up the phone and walked to Lin Qingxia's side and said.
Lin Qingxia has been pregnant for more than nine months, and it has been a few days since she gave birth, so he is really a little worried about letting Wang Zijun go to Hong Kong now.
Lin Qingxia said, "Go ahead, but come back early." The baby has been moving all the time these days, and I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to come out. ”
"Well, I'll be back as soon as I'm done with that side of things." Wang Zijun kissed her on the forehead.
The next day, Wang Zijun asked Wenqin to pack some materials and fly to Hong Kong with her.
Jiayi TV is headquartered in "Wutai Mountain", which is the Hong Kong Broadcasting Road, and is neighbors with TVB, Li's TV, commercial radio, and Radio Television Hong Kong.
Wang Zijun took Wen Qin into the TV building, and from time to time employees of the TV station looked at them. Wang Zijun is one of the six major shareholders of Jiayi TV, and basically all employees know it. However, this shareholder has never shown his face, and most of them have seen him for the first time in the company.
"Hello Wang Dong!"
"Hello boss!"
The employees he met along the way greeted one after another, and Wang Zijun also smiled and nodded in response. Those male employees are basically watching Wenqin. The model-like figure and the face that resembles Lin Chiling in later generations, even if they are men who are used to seeing female stars in Taiwan. I can't help but look twice.
And some female employees want to think more, among the six major shareholders, except for Wang Zijun, they are either ghosts or bad old men, only the boss in front of him is young, gold and handsome, if he can create any accidents to get to know him, then he will be developed. Mi Xue, the most popular in Taili now, isn't she hooking up with Wang Zijun?
A few women even wanted to run up and bump into it, but it wasn't until Wang Zijun got on the elevator. No one dared to implement the plan either.
Wang Zijun walked into the conference room and found that among the major shareholders, except for Jardine Matheson's Henry. Except for Caesar, everyone else has already arrived.
Jiayi TV said that it was the six major shareholders, but in addition to Wang Zijun's Wang (Hong Kong) Film Company, other commercial radio stations, "Sing Tao Daily" and other shareholders all have some small shareholders below.
At present, there are nearly 20 large and small shareholders sitting in this conference room.
Cen Weixiu and others were also speechless. I saw Wang Zijun come in. Just nodded. He Zuozhi's color is the most ugly, he is both a shareholder and a general manager, and he must be responsible for part of the huge losses in front of him.
After waiting for a while, Henry, as the chairman. Kaisax was too late. Once seated, he knocked on the table and said, "Everyone's here, the board is now open." Now Jiayi TV is facing a severe test, Mr. He Zuozhi, you are the general manager of the TV station. Tell us a little bit about it. ”
In addition to being the general manager of Jiayi TV, He Zuozhi is also the founder of commercial radio. He could naturally hear the dissatisfaction with him in Henry's words, and after directly filtering it, he asked his assistant to distribute the documents and begin to introduce the current situation of the TV station.
Wang Zijun got the materials and took a look, good guy! Where is this loss. It's almost going out of business.
Jiayi TV has been preparing for nearly two years, from hardware construction to software construction, repairing buildings, recruiting people, buying equipment and props, opening training classes, etc., almost using the money invested by shareholders at the beginning. Although the TV series column is popular, it is overall. But it was a serious loss, only in 1976 a year. Taili lost millions of Hong Kong dollars. …,
There are two reasons for the loss:
One is the drag of educational programs. Since the moment Jiayi TV got the license, it has been an educational TV station, stipulating that from 2 to 6 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., a full 6 and a half hours of time must broadcast educational programs. In other words, in addition to children's programs and TV dramas from 6 to 9 o'clock, Jiayi TV is all educational programs. The ratings of these programs are extremely low, but the production cost is a lot, and He Zuozhi has made every effort to develop and create new educational programs in order to improve the ratings of educational programs, so that more money will be spent, but the ratings have not been raised.
The second is the crazy demon of TV series shooting. In order to make up for the loss of educational programs and snatch the viewers of Radio and Leigh's TV. He Zuozhi made every effort to create high-quality TV series, and invested heavily in the introduction of high-rated TV dramas in Taiwan, but the boutique was created, and the ratings also increased, but unfortunately the money was also spent. And now the peripheral income of TV dramas is small, and the TV series can almost only be played by themselves once and then hidden in the warehouse, so that the income and output of TV series are almost the same, or even lose money.
"I admit that there is my fault in this, I am too eager for quick success." He Zuozhi first admitted the misalignment, apologized to other shareholders, and then said, "The affairs of TV dramas are easy to do, so many high-quality TV dramas in the early stage have increased the ratings of TV stations, even if it is worth losing some." But now TV stations have entered a dead loop, and educational programming is the crux of everything. If this is not resolved, the station's financial problems will never be resolved. ”
He Shili said: "It's better to apply for a shortened educational program, otherwise this TV station won't be able to do it." ”
Cen Weixiu said: "The biggest problem now is that Jiayi has no money, and there are still millions owed outside." If you don't solve the problem of money, it's useless to talk about other things. ”
Those small shareholders echoed one after another, they were fooled by He Shili, Cen Weixiu and others, saying how much money they could make from being a TV station, so they followed the investment with their eyes. Looking at it now, a few years have passed, not only did I not make any money, but I also owed a lot of debts, and I have already retreated, afraid that the longer it drags on, the greater the loss.
Henry. "There are three ways to solve the funding problem, the first is to find a bank loan, the second is for shareholders to make additional investments, and the third is to find new investors," Kessaq said. ”
Looking for a bank loan? Henry. Caesarke is the boss of Jardine Matheson, if the TV station's funds are trapped by the bank, will others have the right to speak in the future? Cen Weixiu, He Zuozhi, He Shili and others immediately vetoed it.
As for the additional investment, several major shareholders were silent, after all, the future of the TV station is unclear, and they have no bottom in their hearts. Those small shareholders shook their heads again and again, it was good that they didn't shout to withdraw their shares.
Then there is only a third way......
He Zuozhi raised his hand and said: "Regarding the current situation of Jiayi TV, I talked to Mr. Lin Xiufeng of Hang Seng Bank a few days ago. Mr. Lin seems to be very interested in investing in TV stations, and we can get in touch with him again and maybe be able to convince him to invest. ”
This Lin Xiufeng is the son of Lin Bingyan, the founder of Hang Seng Bank, and in another time and space, Jiayi TV is not doing well, and it is precisely because of his capital injection that it can survive.
Shareholders took a look at each other and said that this solution was feasible.
Henry. As the chairman of Jiayi TV, Kaisark has actually lost confidence in the TV station. He knew in his heart that the time limit for the broadcast of educational programs was set when he got the TV license, and this could not be changed at all. And the ratings of educational programs are so poor that no one in Hong Kong pays attention to this thing except for a small number of people.
Think about it, would ordinary citizens and housewives be interested in educational programs? No! That's a loss of a large viewership.
So who will watch it? Elites and students. The elite is at work and socializing for 4 hours in the afternoon, and it is impossible to watch the show, and those two and a half hours in the evening, will they pay attention to these after a tired day? Either sleeping, dating, or watching entertainment. And what about students? Hell, except for some good students, the other students vomited in class, and the ghosts would watch educational programs to learn, and it was purely for themselves to find guilt.
Looking at the overall analysis, it means that few people watch educational programs at all.
Of course, this is also related to the level and vision of current educational program producers. Today's educational programs are more preachy, hardly interesting, and boring.
Henry. Since Kaisax has lost confidence in the TV station, he is naturally happy to have new investors join, and he can appropriately give up some shares to reduce some losses.
"Then vote by show of hands." Henry. "Raise your hand if you agree to invite new investors." ”
Hula raised a piece of paws, but Wang Zijun sat there, holding his chest with his hands, leaning on the chair and closing his eyes.
He Shili, who was beside Wang Zijun, took a closer look and found that this guy was actually asleep.
"Mr. Wang! I voted by a show of hands. He Shili stretched out his leg and kicked Wang Zijun a few times under the table.
"Huh? Where is the meeting? Wang Zijun didn't pretend to be forced, but was made drowsy by He Zuozhi's introductory nonsense before. In addition, these days I am doing publicity during the day, I have to accompany my wife when I go back at night, and I have to find time to write the second part of "Harry Potter", I am really tired and panicked, and I actually fell asleep unconsciously.
Wen Qin, who was sitting behind Wang Zijun and taking minutes of the meeting, reminded: "Boss, just now everyone said that they would vote by show of hands and invite Lin Xiufeng to inject capital. ”
Henry. Kaisark said: "Mr. Wang, you are the only one who has not raised your hand, and this resolution will be passed." Mr. He Zuozhi is responsible for convincing Mr. Lin Xiufeng to invest ......"
"I'm against it!" Wang Zijun's hand was raised slowly and methodically.
Other shareholders looked at him. ()@b
