Chapter 60: First of all, there must be a star

Seeing Davis drafting the contract there, Fan Wuxian stood up, stretched his waist for a long time, and then asked Feng Xiaonan and his wife, "How about buying your company for five million dollars?" ”

Five million dollars? Acquire our company?!

Feng Xiaonan and Xia Donghai looked at each other, not knowing whether Fan Wuxian was talking crazy or the truth, although he knew that Fan Wuxian seemed to be relatively rich before, but he didn't know how much money he had.

"Basically, I won't interfere too much with the staffing issues of the company, just ask you to follow the roadmap I have designed and slowly achieve the goals I want, which should be easy to do, right?" Fan Wuxian glanced at the two stiff couples, and then continued, "In other words, the new company is still under your control and leadership, but the ownership has changed, and you have changed from a major shareholder to a minority shareholder. I'm going to compensate you a certain amount of equity, and then I'm going to inject a lot of money into it, and in the first year, it won't be less than $10 million! ”

"How much equity do we have in the new company? Can you fulfill what you say? Feng Xiaonan was finally a little tempted and couldn't help but ask.

For Feng Xiaonan and Xia Donghai, the investment of tens of millions of dollars is really amazing, although they have all been in the United States, but after all, they are ordinary people, where have they seen such a large amount of money in and out, and they are very shocked to have a million dollars in leisure.

Now Fan Wuxian actually told them the purchase price of 5 million US dollars, which is very tempting, not to mention that he also left them with the leadership position of the new company, and promised to invest 10 million US dollars in operating capital a year, which is equivalent to 5 million US dollars for his family for nothing, and there is also an investment of 1 million US dollars in the new company every year!

If the operation is good, the new company will definitely be on fire, and the income will be indispensable at that time, plus the gains in reputation and status, it is simply too tempting!

It's just that Fan Wuxian has so much money? Don't make a blank slate!

Fan Wuxian laughed and said, "With tens of millions of capital operations, basically my subordinates can call the shots." Davis, do you bring a transfer check? Just write a check for $15 million, and the matter is settled! ”

"How about giving some RMB? So much money is in dollars, how troublesome is it to spend? Xia Xue suddenly interjected.

Fan Wuxian looked at Xia Xue, who had already developed into a scale, and said very interestingly, "Don't you like to engage in social practice activities, take the US dollars to exchange them on the black market, it must be much more appropriate than exchanging them in the bank!" ”

Davis had already drafted the acquisition contract between words, but although he could speak Chinese, he could not write, so the whole article was in English, fortunately, Feng Xiaonan and Xia Donghai both stayed in the ocean, and these things did not need to be considered at all.

After carefully looking at the contract, he felt that there was no problem, and then looked at the transfer check, and felt that it was better to be safe, so Feng Xiaonan asked, "Can I transfer the money first?" ”

"No problem." Fan Wuxian is rich and wealthy, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about Feng Xiaonan taking money and running away.

So Feng Xiaonan took two employees to handle the payment, and the rest of the people sat in the office and chatted.

As soon as his wife left, Xia Donghai finally had the opportunity to communicate with Fan Wuxi.

"Now that the contract is about to be signed, can you reveal your thoughts?" Xia Donghai was very interested in how Fan Wuxian would guide the operation of the company, and at this time, seeing that he was accompanied by a few foreign entourages at any time, he should naturally be very powerful and thoughtful, so he still had high hopes for Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxian nodded and said to Xia Donghai, "First of all, we need to be able to provide a large enough stage for ordinary people to show themselves, this stage can be divided into two parts, one part is formed by us, as the basic selection, used to select high-quality, powerful and promising players from a large number of participants, we call it audition." ”

"Auditions?" Xia Donghai felt refreshed after hearing this, as if there was a hot scene of crowds and swarming in his mind, and he couldn't help but admire Fan Wuxi's advanced thinking, so he continued to ask, "And then?" ”

"The other part of the stage is to be co-organized with a large national media, such as CCTV." Fan Wuxian scratched his head or said, "This is a bit difficult, but I believe that with my network, I can still do it." ”

With the help of CCTV media stage, to cultivate his own artists, this is a way that Fan Wuxian has long considered, if possible, he can naturally choose a local TV station to conduct live auditions, but this difficulty will not be much smaller, it is better to do CCTV in one step, and it will be more cost-effective to establish the position of the leader of his entertainment company in the industry at once.

But now there is also a problem, that is, CCTV's channels are too few, and if you want to increase the number of channels broadcast, the difficulty and cost are very large, and the cost of renting satellite broadcasts is really high, how to solve this problem? Although Fan Wuxian is well aware of the strong attraction of auditions and civilian stages to TV audiences, it is completely impossible to let official programs such as news broadcasts make way for entertainment programs.

It's a big deal, you spend money to buy a satellite to operate communication services, and rent the loan to CCTV, in this way, the investment is a bit big, but in the long run, it is still cost-effective, and when the conditions are ripe in the future, you can also start your own communication business, and it will not be wasted at all.

Thinking of this, Fan Wuxian immediately set his sights on Hong Kong again, if the mainland can't do it, there should be no obstacle to engaging in satellite programs in Hong Kong.

When it comes to satellite TV, we can't fail to mention the existence of Hong Kong Satellite TV's Chinese channel.

As early as 1988, the Asia Satellite Company, which was jointly formed by Hutchison, CITIC and Dadong, was established. But it was not until last year, in 1990, that Li Ka-shing persuaded the Hong Kong government to relax the regulations.

In December last year, satellite TV officially obtained a business license, but the Hong Kong government has two additional conditions, one is that it cannot broadcast Cantonese programs, and the other is that it must not charge users fees. The first condition is actually the result of the pressure exerted by the three television stations of TVB, ATV, and cable to the Hong Kong government.

After all, the Hong Kong TV market, which is monopolized by three TV stations, is not large, and at this time, the competition will definitely be more fierce if it enters the giant crocodile of satellite TV, and the three TV stations are very influential in the Hong Kong government, and it is absolutely impossible to let the Li family and his son squeeze in without a balance. In March this year, the Satellite Television Company was formally established, with Li Ka-shing as chairman, Ma Shimin and Li Zetong as vice chairmen, and Chen Qingxiang, who has many years of television experience, as chief executive officer, with a total investment of HK$3.1 billion. In fact, Fan Wuxian knows very well that Li Zehua is the actual head of Satellite TV, and his father Li Ka-shing is just a fictitious position and lets his son do it himself, as for Ma Shimin, he also looks at Li Ka-shing's face and will not interfere in the affairs of Satellite TV at will. In April, Satellite TV began trial broadcasts, and at this time, Satellite TV was able to use five channels to broadcast programs normally.

In fact, Hong Kong Satellite TV's Chinese channel did not exist for a long time, and was sold to Mercado's News Corp. two years later, becoming a major component of the later famous Phoenix Satellite TV.

It is an inevitable trend for TV programs to be on the stars, so Fan Wuxi feels that when necessary, he still has to go to Hong Kong to explore the way, if the mainland does not allow it, he will consider starting satellite TV in Hong Kong first, and he can't let time go to waste.

However, when he heard that Fan Wuxian was going to work on a project with CCTV, Xia Donghai said with some disapproval, "CCTV is not very easy to do, and it involves a lot of complicated things." China is completely different from the United States, not you can solve all problems if you have money, and you had better be mentally prepared for this. ”

Fan Wuxian smiled, and didn't say how powerful his ability was, but just said to Davis next to him, "Write down this, we need at least one communication satellite!" ”

Davis agreed, wrote down Fan Wuxi's words, and then reminded, "If it is to buy commercial satellites from other countries, the cost will probably be higher, and the time may be slower, if it is to rent ready-made communication satellites, the short-term cost seems to be relatively high, but once the investment is unfavorable, it is easy to withdraw." ”

Fan Wuxian nodded, "We need to set up a satellite TV company as soon as possible, and we definitely need to have our own satellites, but for the time being, we can consider renting a part of the frequency band of a communication satellite to make a transition." ”

"A communications satellite is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars, right?" Xia Donghai always knew that this thing was not cheap, so he couldn't help but ask.

"If you buy a few more, you should be able to get a discount." Fan replied with a smile.

How many? Comsat?! Xia Donghai shook his head a little, and said in his heart that after your check arrives, I will leave a comment!
