Chapter 659: The Snake Swallows the Elephant

In 07, Xicheng teamed up with Lin Jianyue and Zhao Tongwen to acquire Gold Medal Entertainment, and then swallowed the science and art of Baidai and Busheng Gale, accounting for thirty percent of the molecules.

Originally, the acquisition was just intended to have fun, after all, he had no real intention of developing the Hong Kong entertainment industry, people's energy and financial resources are limited after all, Hee Sung is more keen on developing South Korea's local industrial clusters, and by the way, he uses the otaku memory to understand the movie, and makes some money by investing in high-quality movies.

However, there are always times when things are unexpected, such as the woman who is sitting next to Hee Sung right now.

Normally, Han Jiaren is a very traditional and virtuous woman, and her temperament is also very indifferent, and when men talk about their careers, she basically avoids them.

Only this time Hee-sung kept her.

On the one hand, I don't want her to look like an outsider, and on the other hand, I want her to be involved.

Xicheng even has such a plan, and when the time comes, he will directly divide the Hong Kong property to Han Jiaren as her own property, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

Therefore, this time he planned to acquire TVB, and Xi Cheng was particularly attentive.

Because of his nationality, it is impossible for Run Run Shaw to sell TVB's shares to a South Korean, but seventy percent of Gold Medal Entertainment is Chinese, and Xicheng is not an outsider in the Chinese entertainment industry.

If the acquisition of Gold Medal Entertainment is a big fish eating small fish, then making a move to TVB is almost like a snake swallowing an elephant, although the iron triangle of Xicheng, Lin Jianyue and Zhao Tongwen belongs to the giant python.

When we often talk about TVB, we refer to the Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Co., Ltd., a leather-sounding company founded on November 19, 1967 by Li Xiaohe, Qi Dezun, Run Run Shaw and others.

TVB is Hong Kong's first commercial TVB television station, commonly known as "Hong Kong TVB" or "TVB", "Tricolor", providing free and diversified TV entertainment to 2.37 million households in Hong Kong 24 hours a day.

In Hong Kong, TVB's five free-to-air TV channels account for 80% of the weekday prime-time viewership, and its flagship channel, Jade Channel, is the most-watched TV channel in Hong Kong.

In 1965, the Hong Kong Government tendered for the Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Company Limited (TVB). Referred to as TVB), Lee Hau-wo, Run Run Shaw, Yu King-wai and British and American funds won Hong Kong's free TV license, and officially launched Hong Kong TVB in 1967, with Lee Hau-wo as chairman and Run Run Shaw as managing director.

In 1971, Run Run Shaw presided over the opening of the wireless training course, which has trained many of today's superstars. The "Four Heavenly Kings" brand hand-picked by Run Run Shaw in the music world has a halo that has not faded to this day. And the "Miss Hong Kong" election has also earned a lot of eyeballs every year since TVB was founded.

In 1980, Lee Hyo-ho died of illness. The American and British funds were reluctant to send people to TVB, and Run Run Shaw, who was over seventy years old, increased his stake in TVB, became the largest private shareholder, became the chairman of the board of directors of TVB, and led TVB into a golden age with his wisdom.

Over the years, TVB has become the largest provider of Chinese content in Asia, and has a near-monopoly competitive situation in Hong Kong.

Now the Hong Kong drama classics in everyone's hearts, including "Shanghai Tang", "The Great Era", "Genesis", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" and many other TV series that have triggered a boom in drama chasing from Hong Kong to the mainland come from TVB.

Founded in 1971, the wireless artist training class has sent a large number of backbone talents to the entire Asian entertainment industry. Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Aaron Kwok, Carina Lau, Tony Leung, Wang Mingquan, Fat Sister, Cheng Yuling...... There are few stars in Hong Kong who have not been cultivated by TVB. In addition, famous directors such as Johnny To, Wang Jing, Guan Jinpeng, Wei Jiahui and other famous directors have also benefited from TVB's full cultivation.

South Korea's S&M DreamWorks compares to it. It's not a little bit weak, it's just weak.

Lin Jianyue's father, Lin Baixin, was ambitious to invest in Asia Television (ATV), hoping to compete with Run Run Shaw's TVB to become an entertainment king, but failed to do so. After 14 years of ownership, ATV lost nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and finally Lin Baixin quit ATV and no longer got involved in the entertainment industry.

It can be said that TVB is a hurdle that the old Lin family can't pass, and this time Lin Jianyue launched the TVB acquisition plan. I'm afraid I also have thoughts of avenging my father. Even if Shaw probably didn't take him seriously.

Shaw, who has been busy in the film and television and business circles for 80 years, is in his last years, he wants to go into hiding, but he looks around and finds that no one can take over his huge film and television empire, the two sons refuse to change the comfortable life of being a "charter man" in Singapore, and his wife Fang Yihua also wants to accompany him to retreat, and finally Run Run Shaw, who has been lively all his life, still decided to sell TVB.

But to whom, exactly, is it sold to?

Shaw's process of "supporting orphans" did not go smoothly. The first to enter the media attention was Zhou Yiqing, a non-executive director of TVB and chairman of the board of directors of Chevalier Group.

In 2006, shortly after it was reported that Run Run Shaw intended to sell TVB's shares, it was reported that Zhou Yiqing was preparing to introduce Shanghai capital to take a stake in TVB, but this news was quickly denied by Zhou Yiqing.

In the first half of this year, Yang Guoqiang, chairman of mainland real estate giant Country Garden, was willing to bid 10 billion yuan to buy a stake in TVB. However, the deal did not go ahead after Mr. Yang ran into financial problems due to a sharp downturn in the real estate market on the mainland.

This year, international private equity companies such as Carlyle, Blackstone and Bain Capital also intended to bid for TVB, but due to the outbreak of the world financial crisis, they abandoned their acquisition plans.

Therefore, this big cake is placed in front of the gold medal gale iron triangle.

"Mr. Lin, do you have that much money?" Xi Chengwo sat on the huge sofa in the clubhouse, with the gentle and lovely sister Han Jiaren by his side, and he was in a depraved mess.

"Brother, isn't there still you and Brother Zhao," Lin Jianyue likes cigars, and opened a cigar parlor in Hong Kong to act as an agent for Cuban cigars.

As soon as he said his brother, the young man next to him, who looked like he was in his twenties, couldn't help but want to cry, and Han Jiaren, who was watching, couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Hey, woman, don't you think your man is so generous, always smiling at the handsome young guy," Hee Sung pinched her nose jealously, pretending to be very angry.

"Just. I just felt that Mr. Lin's expression was very exciting, "This Mr. Lin is not talking about Lin Jianyue, but his son Lin Xiaoxian."

Born in 1983, the eldest son of Media Asia Boss and Chairman of the Lai Sun Group, Lim Hon Ngok, returned to Hong Kong in 2003 to learn from his father to run the family business after graduating with a degree in Business Administration in Boston, USA.

The young handsome and rich second generation in Hong Kong should be headed by Yang Zhenglong, Tang Jiacheng, Huo Qishan, and Lin Xiaoxian, all of whom are post-80s. Born in a wealthy family, when he returned from studying abroad, he learned that he was cultivating his heart to become the successor of the kingdom. Their common characteristics are that they are young and handsome, rich and powerful.

When some media commented on them, they said that Huo Qishan had taste, while Lin Xiaoxian was avant-garde and interesting.

In Lin Xiaoxian's body, with a strong modern youth trendy and avant-garde life atmosphere, he and his mother Xie Lingling live in the same Kowloon Tong mansion, deeply loved by his grandmother Yu Baozhu, and loves to spend time with a group of friends at night to relieve stress. In order to come out and have a better time, it is convenient for me to charter a venue to open a party, and simply invest in Xinpudian M1NT as a shareholder.

In addition to Lin Xiaoxian's father's silence and decisiveness in the shopping mall, the scandal also has a relationship with his father. There have been scandals with Ying Caier, Zhong Xintong, Fu Ying, CatGirl's Huang Meiyan, model Tanya, etc. But many of them don't happen.

His old friend broke the news that Lin Xiaoxian's mate selection conditions are very high, in addition to getting along and liking to play together, he also "must be a beautiful girl." The height should be about the same as him, and it is better to study and grow up in a foreign country, but the first condition is of course to be young and young enough. ”

Such a proud son of heaven. Today, he was brought out as a junior.

It's nothing to call Uncle Zhao Tongwen, Zhao Tongwen is almost in his forties and almost fifty, and he was born in a wealthy family in the mainland, and he is an old friend of Lin Jianyue for many years.

But this Hee-sung, if I'm not mistaken, is just an artist in South Korea, who doesn't even look like he's twenty years old, and he looks demonic, and he is actually called his brother by his father.

You can imagine how wonderful the expression on Lin Gongzi's face was.

"I just think it's funny," Lin Jianyue was swept away, Lin Xiaoxian immediately restrained his expression, but said unceremoniously at all: "If we don't have money, then I don't know who in Hong Kong can afford (TVB)." ”

is full of resentment in his heart, and it is inevitable that the tone will be yin and yang, not to mention that the glamorous Han Jiaren is sitting in each other's arms, and a man will be jealous.

"Alas, the child is not sensible, see the smile, see the smile," Lin Jianyue shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and touched it with Xicheng.

He also hoped that Lin Xiaoxian in the future would be able to catch the line of Xicheng and become an enemy if he didn't want to.

"It's a trivial matter," where would Xi Cheng worry about a "junior", he didn't even glance at the other party, but just held Han Jiaren's hand a little tighter.

This is my woman, don't think about it, you kid.

"What Xi Cheng said is not unreasonable," Zhao Tongwen played a round, "In the middle of the year, Yang Guoqiang said that he would invest 10 billion, although there is a lot of water in it, but if you really want to operate it, it is estimated that you can't get it without 10 billion." ”

Tens of billions, what is the concept of tens of billions.

Lin Jianyue is indeed worth 15 billion, but that is worth, it does not mean that he can come up with so much money.

Not to mention 15 billion, even 5 billion, he can't take it out, as for the legendary rich man who can throw out tens of billions of dollars to buy other people's companies at every turn, there is almost no zĂ i in reality.

Even if there is, it can only be a fund, and the fund either belongs to the alliance or the family, and it is not anyone's.

Lin Xiaoxian is dumbfounded, he is not an idiot, how can he not know his father's financial resources.

"It's as if you can take it out, isn't it just a star," he added in his heart, that is, a handsome little white face, I really don't know how Han Jiaren fell in love with him like a superlative.

"Go out and buy me a watermelon and come back," Lin Jianyue pointed to the door with his hand and glared at his son. (To be continued......)
