Chapter 1 Invitations

The Li family is one of the four wealthy families in Hong Kong, and has a very wide influence in the political and economic circles, although Li Xiaohe is not the eldest son, but he is the head of the Li family, so his unexpected death has had a great impact on many people, and Shen Chong is no exception. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He doesn't have much direct interest relationship with the Li family, but the potential interest relationship is not small, for example, H doesn't mention the gentleman's covenant between him and Li Xiaohe, only the position of chairman of the board of directors left by Li Xiaohe, who should sit?

In the eyes of the media and ordinary audiences, Run Run Shaw is the only candidate, everyone knows that he is very interested in the TV industry, and he is one of the original founders of HR, he has full authority to handle the daily operation of HR a long time ago, and the TV station is booming, and watching HR TV dramas at night has become a part of the daily life of Hong Kong citizens.

However, Shen Chong knew that if he wanted to fight for the dominance of TVHR, Run Run Shaw might not be able to compete with him, because the largest shareholders of HR were HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, each with U million H shares, Run Run Shaw only had 360,000 shares, and the Li family only had more than 40 million shares. For example, in 1978, when the ratings were as high as UU, the profit was only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was completely chicken for HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa.

Run Run Shaw was obviously aware of this, so the next morning, as soon as Shen Chong arrived at the company, he received an invitation call to attend a banquet at the Clear Water Bay Villa in the evening.

"Xiaoyu, I'm going to see Run Shaw in the evening, you help me prepare a gift, he is a senior, my junior comes to the banquet, I can't leave empty-handed."

"What kind of gift?"

"Calligraphy and painting or something elegant, or a little festive, don't be too expensive, the sixth uncle has never seen anything in the world, I don't care about the value of that gift, and it's too expensive, but there is a suspicion of showing off, and it's easy to annoy."

"Okay."

Shen Chong hung up the phone, sat in a chair, and thought about what to say when he met Run Shaw at night.

He doesn't think about H, if he had, he would have started a long time ago, this point, presumably Run Run Shaw is also very clear, but there are no absolutes in the world, since Shen Chong has put a lot of effort into restarting Jiayi TV, it shows that he is very interested in the TV station business, so it is not impossible to get H and even Li's TV in his pocket, anyway, there is no anti-monopoly law in Hong Kong.

If purely from a commercial point of view, taking advantage of the current internal instability and low value, it is a profitable investment to win it in one fell swoop, but Shen Chong has a bigger goal, he engages in a TV station, on the one hand, because the TV station is an indispensable core of the media group, on the other hand, it is to use the pool of the TV station to cultivate performing talents.

Shen Chong is not short of money now, and he will not be short of money in the future, so the commercial value of HR is nothing to him, he attaches more importance to the ability of TV stations to raise people, the three TV stations compete with each other, and the talents cultivated are far more than the two TV stations, Lao Jiayi went out of business, H immediately disbanded the film team, and stopped shooting unit dramas with 16mm film, which is proof.

But not interested in it doesn't mean that Shen Chong won't do anything, Shaw Brothers and H have a lot of resources that he urgently needs now, and he can take the opportunity to negotiate and dig some over.

He was thinking about it, and Gu Liwei walked in with Zhang Aijia.

"Mr. Shen, my task is complete, Sister Zhang likes that office very much."

"Vivian, your gesture of asking for merit and rewarding is too obvious." Shen Chong replied to Gu Liwei with Zhang Aijia's words last night, he picked up the glass bowl with the skittles on the table, and said, "I will reward you with a candy."

Gu Liwei stepped forward with a smile, grabbed a piece of candy, and then said goodbye and went out.

"You're a boss, you're too stingy, aren't you, rewarding your subordinates with candy?"

"Or else?" Shen Chong leaned on the office chair leisurely and said with a smile: "Reward a kiss."

Zhang Aijia obviously remembered the romantic charm that rewarded him last night, her face was slightly red, her eyes were like water, and she complained: "In the office, can you be serious?" ”

"Alright then, let's get down to business." Shen Chong asked, "Run Run Shaw invited me to dinner tonight, are you free?" Let's go together, Uncle Six's flowing water seat, but it is a major elegant event in the Hong Kong film industry. ”

"For you men, the sixth uncle's flowing water banquet is, of course, an elegant thing." Run Run Shaw opened a running water seat, and it is a common practice to let his actresses be accompanied, everyone in Hong Kong knows it, Zhang Aijia, as an insider, is naturally more clear, she teased: "I'll go with you, wouldn't it be a lot less interesting." ”

"If Uncle Six had a treat more than ten years ago, I wouldn't have let you go with me if I killed you." Shen Chong smiled, he wrenched his fingers, and said: "Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Letty, You Min, as well as Li Jing, Zheng Peipei and the twelve golden hairpins, tsk, are all peerless beauties, of course I want to be close." ”

"Ten years ago, you were a kid in open crotch pants." Zhang Aijia smiled and said: "When I see those big stars, no matter how close they are, what can they do, I'm afraid they can't speak clearly, right?" ”

She turned to smile and said: "The Shaw Brothers still have the new twelve golden hairpins, He Lili, Jing Li, aren't they all great beauties." ”

"They're just big beauties, not big stars." Shen Chong shook his head and said, "I just want to see big stars." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course there's a difference, the difference between a big beauty and a big star, like the difference between a Mercedes and a Ferrari." Shen Chong thought for a while and said, "Do you know, the car I drove yesterday, from the start to the completion of 4uu meters, is only a second slower than a jet combat plane, how about it?" Doesn't that sound surprising. ”

"So what?"

"This is a legend" Shen Chong made a big discussion, saying: "Stars are the same as famous cars, in addition to being good-looking, they must also have other things to add, famous cars must have strong power, they must have legendary experience, they must have the halo of the champion of the competition, and the stars are the same, they must have classic works, they must have moving stories, and they must have the trophy of the actress, so that they can be considered big stars, you see, Lin Dai is the queen of the four Asia-Pacific Film Festivals, "Beauty of the Mountains", "Diao Chan" has been popular so far, Li Lihua has been in the film industry for more than 20 years from Shanghai Tang to Hong Kong, After two Golden Horse films, Li Hanxiang is the little brother she brought out, legendary, right? Her "Yang Guifei" and "Wu Zetian" are both sensational masterpieces, Lettie, recognized as a classical beauty, "A Chinese Ghost Story" amazed the Cannes Film Festival in France, "Lou Meng" is considered the most beautiful Lin Daiyu, Zheng Peipei is the queen of martial arts, "Golden Swallow" and "The Drunken Man" are all classics, so that they can be regarded as big stars. ”

"He Lili, if you want to talk about appearance, of course they are great beauties, but unfortunately they were born at the wrong time, when they debuted, Shaw Brothers was already Zhang Che's world, Zhang Che has always only made masculine man movies, these new twelve golden hairpins, acted in dozens of movies, none of them are masterpieces worth mentioning, and the charm is greatly reduced."

"Your requirements are really high, according to your standards, there is no big star in Hong Kong now.

"Not now, it should be in a few years." Shen Chong said with a smile: "It is said that ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, the sixties are the era of female stars, and the seventies are the world of male actors, so the eighties must be the era of women in their early years, so it seems that my spring is coming." ”
