Chapter 361: Lifting Strictness

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, the market value of a listed company is ten times the annual profit value of the company.

The market capitalization of wireless fluctuates between 8 billion and 10 billion, which means that wireless's annual revenue is between 800 million and 1 billion.

In terms of the added wealth brought by its media attributes, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a real golden rooster that lays golden eggs.

Don't look at Phoenix TV, it has begun to surpass wireless in terms of ratings, but this is under the premise that Yan Qingyu has invested a huge amount of money almost regardless of the cost in order to expand its influence.

And even so, Phoenix TV failed to achieve overwhelming results.

The wireless star-making ability is almost as strong as the Dian Niang of later generations. Shao Tycoon has been able to make Wireless dominate Hong Kong for 20 years, relying on more than just luck.

But now, the head of the wireless leader, actually asked him if he wanted to be wireless?

Interested?

Intentionally, of course.

It's just that after thinking about it again, Yan Qingyu still slowly shook his head and said, "It's too much." ”

Shao Laoliu, who had lived a wise life, heard the sound and knew what it meant, and also nodded, and sighed: "Yes, it's too much." That's why I didn't start buying Leigh back then. ”

The predecessor of Phoenix TV was ATV, and the predecessor of ATV was Leigh's TV station.

In 82, Qiu Degen, the leader of the Far Eastern Group, acquired 50% of Li's shares, reached a controlling stake, and then changed its name to ATV.

At that time, the funds he used were less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

This money, for Run Run Shaw, is also not a big number.

As one of the oldest billionaires in Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers Films and TVB actually do not occupy a large proportion of his property.

What's more, it's real estate, real estate, and cinemas all over Nanyang.

It's just that. As a person who truly loves movies and has made indelible contributions to Hong Kong film and television, the aura of media on his head is far brighter than his aura of wealth.

The reason why Uncle Shao didn't take Li's back then, so as to control the right to speak on Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop, was not because he didn't want to, but because the British government in Hong Kong did not agree.

There are only two free-to-air television stations on the island, with more than 95 percent of the public ratings, and if it were attributed to one person, the impact would definitely not be what the British government in Hong Kong wanted to see.

Because at that time, this person's rights and influence were even more direct than those of the British government in Hong Kong.

It can manipulate public opinion.

Yan Qingyu smiled: "Sixth uncle." In my opinion, you can work for at least another 30 years, and in the future, the focus of my work will not be in Hong Kong, and the overall situation here will have to be controlled by you. However, I'm sure I want a wireless library. ”

In fact, after saying that Yan Qingyu wanted to take over the wireless, the eighty-year-old man already regretted it in his heart.

Film and television may be a shortcut to fame and popularity for others, or it may be a tool to make a fortune, but for Uncle Shao Liu, film and television is the career he has pursued all his life. It's never-ending.

It was only when Yan Qingyu told him just now that he could be ranked first in the Hong Kong Hall of Fame, he suddenly had a feeling that this life was enough, and he had the intention of handing over his life's work to future generations.

But after all, Shaw is very human. Excitement is followed by calmness.

So when Yan Qingyu said that it was inappropriate, he also took the steps to come down.

Uncle Shao Liu pretended to groan and said, "The films in the library can be sold to you, but we have to keep the right to play." ”

Yan Qingyu smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter. Actually, Uncle Six, if you don't come today, I will also visit you recently, and I have something important to discuss. ”

Shao Lao Liu looked at Yan Qingyu with his eyes. said: "You kid is more refined than a monkey with a layer of hair, and you still use it to discuss with me?" ”

Yan Qingyu knew that the old man was still angry that the ratings of wireless ratings had been fully overshadowed, so he laughed and served the food directly: "Sixth uncle, what do you think about Taiwan's affairs?" ”

When Run Run Shaw heard this, the annoyed expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a stern expression: "You mean that Taiwan has lifted martial law?" ”

On July 14, 1987, The President of the Republic of China Chiang Jingguo issued an order declaring that martial law would be lifted in the Taiwan region, including the island of Taiwan and the Penghu region, from midnight tomorrow.

In the 38 years since the Kuomintang went to Taiwan, martial law has been imposed on the island, and the statement announcing the abolition of 30 decrees formulated in accordance with the "Martial Law Law" during the period of martial law has been abolished, and it has summarized the significance of lifting martial law in at least three aspects: the scope of military control has been reduced, the functions and powers of administrative and judicial organs have been generally expanded, and the number of mountain control zones has been reduced from 119 to 61;

Civilians are no longer court-martialed;

The management of immigration and publications was also transferred to the police and the "Information Bureau".

After the lifting of martial law, many matters will no longer be controlled, and the administrative discretion of the competent organs must be based on the law, and the organs of public opinion will be able to play a more supervisory function.

To be honest, in fact, lifting martial law doesn't know whether it's good or bad for Yan Qingyu.

Because civilians are no longer court-martialed.

At a time when martial law was not lifted, the Zhang family, who controlled Taiwan's military, theoretically had the supreme right to kill and seize Taiwan's nearly 20 million soldiers and civilians.

It doesn't even need to go through a court trial.

However, after martial law was lifted, the Zhang family completely lost this name.

It can be said that the Zhang family was put in the last place by Xiao Jiang.

In the phone call with Yan Qingyu, Zhang Taiyue clearly and affirmatively stated that Xiao Jiang would not live for more than three months.

If there is no lifting of martial law, then as soon as three months pass, the Zhang family will replace the Chiang family as the number one wealthy family in Taiwan.

But now, the power of the Zhang family is not to say that it hurts the muscles and bones, but at least it lacks nominal power.

Of course, in fact, even in the past, the Zhang family never really used guò military law to kill anyone.

After the old Jiang gameover, the little Jiang came to power, and the atmosphere on the island has long been out of the atmosphere of the White Terror.

Otherwise, those greenskins would not dare to mess around so unscrupulously.

Xiao Jiang's move can only be said to be just in case.

If this is a disadvantage, the advantage is that the people can go to Taiwan to run newspapers and open private television stations.

On the one hand, it is a large island with 20 million islanders, and its per capita GDP exceeds $5,000, and on the other hand, Taiwan's three major government-run television stations have a rigid system, conservative ideology, and strong political colors.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that Taiwan's television business, film business, and even record business are in a state of extreme hunger.

Because the Kuomintang authorities have imposed martial law in Taiwan, not to mention the political forbidden areas, even art and music have been overshadowed by panic.

At that time, the Kuomintang implemented a system of song censorship, and songs that had not been passed had to be revised to pass before they could be published. Songs were censored weekly, and from 1979 to 1987, a total of 320 issues were censored, and more than 930 songs were banned.

Songs were banned for a variety of reasons, some were considered to be obscene, frivolous, and harmful to social good customs, while others were considered to be "banditry" propaganda and implicit political implications.

"My enthusiasm, ah, like a fire ......", the reason why the song "Passionate Desert", which later became popular on the mainland, was banned, now seems very funny, because the authorities think that the "ah" in the song is too lewd. Filthy, easy to make people sexual. Fantasy.

Teresa Teng's "He Rijun Comes Again" was banned from several theories, the most ridiculous of which was extended to look forward to the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, which was "a left-leaning song for bandit propaganda".

Yao Surong, the early Taiwanese pop queen, was banned from 80 or 90 songs, among which her masterpiece "Don't Go Home Tonight" was banned because "home" was considered to represent the mainland, and "not going home" violated the policy of "counterattacking the mainland".

Qi Yu's "Olive Tree" and Luo Dayou's "Lukang Town" have also been banned or asked to change their lyrics.

Hokkien songs that Taiwanese people can hum have been listed as banned songs.

"Four Seasons Red" was forced to be changed to "Four Seasons Ballad" because of its allusion to the Red Army. "Roast Pork Dumplings", "Mending the Net", and "It's Dark" were banned because the authorities believed that the lyrics alluded to the incompetence of the government and led to the hardship of the people's lives.

There is also a folk song "Catching Loaches", the original lyrics were "Xiao Mao's brother, take him to catch loaches", because "Xiao Mao" was associated with Mao Weiren, and was changed to "Little Calf" by force......

In short, before martial law is lifted, a ridiculous farce can happen, and this is definitely not just a feature of the mainland.

Now that martial law has been lifted, Ming Pao has been arranged to open Taiwan Ming Pao.

Funding is not a problem, talent reserves are not a problem, and official articles are not a problem.

If the Chinese government wants to be stable, it needs the support of the military at all times.

Although they lost the right to kill anyone, for the Zhang family, it was easier to hide under the water, and the actual rights did not decrease in the slightest.

When Xiao Jiang was about to say goodbye, the weight of the Zhang family became more and more important.

Zhang Taiyue maintained a high degree of consistency with Xiao Chiang on the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, resolutely defended it, and even took the initiative to suppress some different voices, which made many bigwigs on the island more and more at ease with the Zhang family.

Therefore, the establishment of Ming Pao and the entry of Tianxia Records into Taiwan are all smooth sailing.

You must know that Yan Qingyu, the fourth young man of the Zhang family in Taiwan, and Song Chuyu, the leader of the General Information Bureau, who now manages the Yiqiē media business, are commensurate with brothers.

Song Chuyu is also a person with great ambitions, and his desire for the future president is almost Sima Yi's heart. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to befriend Yan Qingyu......

In short, only the Tianxia Group can enter Taiwan's theaters without hindrance.

However, the situation is different between running a television station and running a newspaper.

First of all, the legal person of a private TV station must be Taiwanese.

Of course, this is not a difficult thing for Yan Qingyu, she was going to change jobs for Wang Zuxian, and it should be a happy thing to go to Taiwan to be the director of a TV station, and return home!

However, this TV station cannot be wholly owned, and Song Chuyu said that it is better to bring in foreign capital.

However, it is better not to be a foreign capital in the world, because this is obviously treating people as fools.

Therefore, Yan Qingyu thought of Uncle Shao Liu, whether he is cooked or raw. (To be continued......)
