Chapter 556 SVCD
Although many people are curious, what did Lin Xiaozhi say to the horse-faced director at the end of the cocktail party, because as long as they didn't all see the dirt between him and the entertainment department that happened at the cocktail party. Especially when talking about the establishment of the Film Association, Media Asia directly refused without giving face, and slapped Zeng Decheng in front of the entire industry, and he, the director of the film and entertainment department, may not be able to raise his head in the industry for a long time.
But curiosity is curiosity, Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia naturally will not take the initiative to expose it to the outside world. There may have been some dirt between him and the Hong Kong government because of some reasons in politics and position, but if he hadn't been bullied, Lin Xiaozhi would have preferred to take advantage of the best opportunity period before Hong Kong's return to the motherland to develop and make money and enclosure land, and create wealth and glory for himself and even the entire family that cannot be used up for several generations or even more than ten generations.
After all, the conflict is short-lived, and even if London wants to replace Hong Kong with a new governor who can and can make trouble, Lin Xiaozhi always believes that Patten's arrival will bring him a little trouble at most. Because of him, Lin Xiaozhi, even if he is happy, in the context of this big era, he is just a slightly more conspicuous small role. No one can stop the tide of Hong Kong's return, but the British are not dead and want to make a mess before they have to leave, the mainland obviously will not let them destroy, before the arrival of July 97, there are only two protagonists who can really sing in Hong Kong, that is, Britain and the mainland. All Hong Kong people and tycoons can only sing supporting roles, that's all!
The necessary warning had been given to Tsang, and Lin Xiaozhi believed that even if the horse-faced gentleman was angry in his heart, as long as he wanted to climb up, he would have to seriously consider the consequences of getting into trouble with him, the king of Hong Kong's media, for a little political achievement.
And the facts have proved that his expectations are correct.
Only four days after the reception, the Radio and Television Association was established in a very short period of time on the Hong Kong Broadcasting Channel. Shao Yifu won the first chairman of the Radio and Television Association, and Lejin did not suffer much embarrassment, and easily obtained the status of the four directors of the Radio and Television Association. Although in the management of the Radio and Television Association, only the chairman has one veto power, and the four directors only have half a vote, and they need half of the consent or opposition to veto a proposal or charter, but they are also one of the top leaders of the Radio and Television Association, and at the same time, the eleven directors also won one for Zheng Danrui and Gan Guoliang, two vice presidents, which is quite satisfactory to him.
It is worth mentioning that the term of office of the chairman, directors and officers of the Radio and Television Association is relatively short, and they must be changed every two years. However, perhaps considering that Hong Kong Radio and Television is so big, the Broadcasting Authority and the Film and Entertainment Department do not have special restrictions on the number of re-elections. In other words, if Shao Yifu, Le Jin and other senior executives of the first batch of Radio and Television Associations are conscientious enough, it will be nothing if they have been working for ten years, eight years or even longer, which makes Lin Xiaozhi secretly surprised.
There was more Lin Xiaozhi, a-stirring stick, and the Film Association was not established with the Radio and Television Association. However, less than a week after the end of the reception, he received an invitation again to discuss the establishment of the Film Association, this time no one played any tricks, although it was not Zeng Decheng who called him personally, but it was a person in charge of the film and entertainment department who took the initiative to come to the door to invite him. For some reasons, he chose to let Chen Qiang go instead of him, and although the lineup for the negotiation this time could not be comparable to the last reception, I heard Chen Qiang recall that more than a dozen of Hong Kong's largest film companies, including Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, were all present, and Zeng Decheng personally presided over the meeting and then talked about the importance of the establishment of the Film Association. There was already a little less sharpness between the words, and more deliberation.
However, because the Film and Entertainment Department has not relaxed the film classification review, the establishment of the Film Association has yet to be discussed.
I don't know if it's because of the weather, but the pace seems to be faster after entering June.
After more than three months of activities in the Lin family, Lin Xiaoyi finally got the status of an ex-officio member of Kwun Tong District, Kowloon, East Kowloon.
Although there are no regional laws and taxes in Hong Kong, so the District Councils do not have the two most important powers of a modern council: the power to legislate and approve government public expenditures. With the identity of this district councilor, Lin Xiaoyi can also be regarded as getting an admission ticket, and in the future, with the support of the Lin family, he will not worry about doing nothing in the political circles.
"I heard that Lin Dong is not filming today, Secretary Gu, has he come to the company today?"
Song Nianhui glanced at the Media Asia reception hall full of boxes, and frowned slightly.
With the continuous expansion of its industries, the Bank of Kowloon Building, which was originally relatively spacious, has begun to look a little crowded. Therefore, Lin Xiaozhi purchased two twin office buildings from his ninth uncle Lin Baixin's Lai Sun Development Company, one of which has been used after months of renovation, and at present, Media Asia and some of its branches are moving to the twin buildings in an orderly manner. At present, there are only a few departments left in the Kowloon Bank Building, so Lin Xiaozhi does not come here often.
Secretary Gu's name is Gu Li, a top student who graduated from Cambridge Business School, and he is also the private secretary recruited by Media Asia for Lin Xiaozhi at the beginning of the year. Although Gu Li is a talented young woman, her appearance and figure are very average, the reason why she was able to enter Li Jiaxin's eyes and become Lin Xiaozhi's personal secretary is probably because she is 34 years old this year, got married early and had a daughter.
There is no need to guess at all, everyone in Huanya knows what their boss lady means, and it is nothing more than worrying about the appearance of the second Zhou Huimin.
There are already many old employees in the New Asia era who know the number of 'Secretary Zhou' last year, and Lin Xiaozhi's scandal last year was once full of turmoil, although Lin Xiaozhi did not admit it in front of the media at that time, but since he married the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin into the door, he no longer concealed it, and in the past six months, he has been bumped into by the media and the outside world many times to accompany the two daughters to go shopping, or to go in and out of the hospital and nursery with Zhou Huimin's mother and daughter, which confirms the authenticity of the scandal before.
In addition, some media learned from the government department that Zhou Huimin had just changed her official name on her ID card to 'Lin Zhouhuimin' like Li Jiaxin not long ago, and her daughter born to Lin Xiaozhi was also officially registered in the Lin family. So much so that now many people envy Lin Xiaozhi Yanfu, but they also do not forget to hang titles such as 'second room', 'second wife', 'Mrs. Lin' on Zhou Huimin's body. It's no wonder that Li Jiaxin will be taken aback by this, and he will be on guard against the appearance of another 'three-room'.
"Song is always good!"
A few months after joining the company, Gu Li obviously remembered Song Nianhui, who was located in the same building, and she glanced at the time of the wall clock that had just been taken off, before replying: "The company has a few documents that need to be reviewed by the chairman, and I have already called him in the morning." The chairman promised to come in the afternoon, but he had to go to Kwun Tong Industrial Park first! ”
"To Kwun Tong?" Song Nianhui was stunned, "What is he going to do there?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard the chairman mention it last time, and it seems that another Media Asia Electronics Group under his name seems to have made a new product......
The name Media Asia Electronics Group is relatively unfamiliar to Song Nianhui, and it is the first time he has heard that Lin Xiaozhi has such a company under his name. Although he was surprised that his boss suddenly wanted to meddle in electronic goods, it was not something he cared about, so he didn't think much about it.
Knowing that Lin Xiaozhi and others would come, Song Nianhui breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's troublesome Secretary Gu, when Lin Dong comes, let someone go to my office to inform me!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Song!"
This wait was a full hour and a half, and it was not until near the end of work that Song Nianhui's office door was knocked on, and a staff member from the reception office of Media Asia came to inform him that Lin Xiaozhi was coming.
As soon as he heard that the other person was finally here, Song Nianhui hurriedly opened the drawer and picked up a bulging Wen Jiàn bag, and followed him up to the fourteenth floor.
"Bell ......"
There was a knock on the door outside the office, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was looking down at the May summary of Debao Cinema Line, answered without raising his head: "Please come in!" ”
The door creaked open, and Song Nianhui walked into the chairman's office, which had only one desk and a set of modular sofas left, his leather shoes crackling on the floor, and he kept walking to his desk before stopping, and asked with a smile: "Didn't bother you, Lin Sheng?" ”
The familiar voice made Lin Xiaozhi raise his head, and when he saw that the person who came was Song Nianhui, he smiled and closed the text in his hand, "It's just a few monthly summaries below, which are cumbersome and can't help but read." I just heard from Secretary Gu that you have been here, I have been here for a long time and have been late, what's the matter, do you have anything to do with me? ”
Apparently he saw Song Nianhui holding the Dewen Jiàn bag in his hand.
Song Nianhui was curious, "Media Asia Electronics? Lin Sheng is ready to enter the electrical appliance manufacturing industry? ”
"It's not counting, I just want to make a fuss about movie-related hardware!" Lin Xiaozhi nodded slightly, but his face was full of smiles, for no other reason, after spending more than 30 million of his R&D funds, Sun Fa and others from Media Asia Electronics finally came up with a VCD that satisfied him.
Speaking of VCD, in fact, it is no longer possible to correctly call the new thing they have made, because according to his instructions, the newly manufactured VCD has not only almost caught up with the DVD of later generations in terms of function, but also has made an amazing breakthrough in picture resolution. Although it is far from being comparable with the DVDs of later generations, and even not as good as some high-definition video recorders and LD DVD players on the market that sell for more than 10,000 yuan, the picture resolution has been almost the same as some low-end video recorders on the market.
It's an amazing breakthrough, or it can only be named after SVCD (SuperVideoCD). It's not easy to do this with the current MPEG technology, and even some low-cost video recorders on the market can cost from about five or six thousand. After the use of plastic fuselage has reduced a lot of production costs, SVCD's factory mass production cost can be controlled between 1500-1700, and even if it is sold at a price of 3,000, it will definitely set off a storm in Asia, where the economy is still underdeveloped compared with Europe and the United States.
Also for the film industry, their SVCD will also change the entire film landscape. Thanks to the efforts of Sun Fa and others, many new technologies have been applied, and the cost of a 90-minute film can be controlled between 20 and 30 Hong Kong dollars, and if it is produced in the mainland or a large-scale industrial production of 100,000 films, the cost can be reduced even lower.
The price of a breakfast is enough to buy a genuine CD, which is lower than the pirated videotapes in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the picture quality is much better. Lin Xiaozhi has asked Sun Fa to start building copyright barriers and sending people to Japan to purchase production equipment, he can be sure that once the SVCD of Media Asia Electronics Group is listed, Media Asia, which holds nearly 2,000 film copyrights, and ATV, whose film library is also expanding, will begin to create more profits for him in a steady stream of film and television copyrights, and thus affect the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television industry, and even radiate the whole of Asia.
It was precisely because of its appearance that he was pleasantly surprised all day, and now he can't keep his mouth shut.
Song Nianhui didn't know much about electronic products, so he didn't think much about it, so he handed him the bag he brought, and said, "I really have something to talk about when I look for Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng will take a look at these articles first......"
He nodded, a little curious about what Song Nianhui mentioned. After taking the bag, he opened it, took out a few copies of the text, and quickly browsed through it at a glance, and quickly raised his head and stared at him: "Liang Botao, Peregrine Group?" Mr. Song, what are you doing when you show me this? ”
No wonder he was puzzled, it turned out that there was nothing else in the bag that Song Nianhui handed him, it was all the information of a man named Liang Botao and his Peregrine Group, and even some edited newspapers, but the content was also about Liang Botao and his Peregrine Group. This Liang Botao is not too unfamiliar to him, because both of them rose around 88, and they are both super-rich people who have become billions or even tens of billions of dollars from scratch in just a few years, so many financial media in Hong Kong often move this Liang Botao out to comment together, which can be regarded as an 'acquaintance'.
What made him confused was why Song Nianhui suddenly showed him this information about Liang Botao.
Song Nianhui didn't answer his doubts immediately, but asked rhetorically: "After Lin Sheng read this, what do you think of this Liang Botao?" ”
Lin Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and after a little groaning, he replied: "Amazing business tycoon, a predator in Hong Kong's capital industry!" ”
"Predators? It's suitable, too! Song Nianhui nodded, and looked at Lin Xiaozhi with a stern face: "Liang Botao is one of the most dazzling stars in Hong Kong's capital industry in recent years, and the reason why I came to see Lin Shengyou today is because I received rumors from some channels that Liang Botao is actively lobbying the Hong Kong government and the mainland to promote the listing of mainland state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong." I happen to be very optimistic about this aspect, I heard that Lin Sheng, you will go north with the Hong Kong Affairs Advisory Group next weekend to confer the medal, I hope to go with you! ”
Lin Xiaozhi's heart was shocked, and his eyes widened to look at the man in front of him who seemed to have a flame called 'ambition' burning in his eyes, and for a moment he understood that Song Nianhui wanted to use his relationship to meet the person who could talk to Sijiu City, and even the former ruler of the republic who had a two-sided relationship with him.
