The Kowloon Bank is not the Lin family's own property, and after decades of development and several share expansions, the number of shareholders has already grown from a few to dozens.

Although the Lin family holds the absolute controlling shares of the bank, after all, there are many people, and some shareholders are indeed for the interests of the bank, so they made a fuss, and Song Nianhui, the president of the bank who was appointed by Lin Xiaozhi to manage and operate, is also a big head, and after being blocked by several shareholders for the third time, he went directly to Lin Xiaozhi's office with an ugly face, blocked the door and complained.

"Lin Sheng, I said a long time ago that you should be cautious in contact with the mainland......

"What, they're making trouble again?" Lin Xiaozhi poured him a glass of water, sat next to Song Nianhui and frowned and asked.

Kowloon Bank has a large number of shareholders, but most of them are relatively sensible. Even if they opposed him selling gold to the Bank of China, most of them directly bypassed him to react to Lin Jili, and then urged the old man to put pressure on him. Because he had communicated with the old man in advance, although the old man did not agree with his rash and rash moves, he did not explicitly oppose it, but just said that he handed over the bank to him and let him play as much as he wanted, so even if some shareholders who started a business together in the early years put pressure on his descendants, he just reminded Lin Xiaozhi.

Most of the people who are making trouble now are some shareholders who joined in the middle of the process, some of them are purely worried that the banks will be crushed by a run on the bank again as they did after the stock market crash in '87, and only a few people who are politically extremely opposed to moving closer to the mainland are the ones who shout the loudest opposition, such as a few shareholders who have recently come to the Kowloon Bank Building from time to time to make trouble

Song Nianhui snorted, and the depressed color on his face was clearly visible. Some people are like this, they don't come to block the door of Lin Xiaozhi's office, but they dare to block the door of him, the president of the bank, to play prestige, which really makes him angry and has nowhere to vent.

Lin Xiaozhi frowned, even he didn't expect that in Hong Kong in 199l, the so-called rich elite would be so resistant and hostile to Hong Kong's return to the mainland. Although the Taiwan side is hateful, it also shook out some things that he covered up, so that he was busy dealing with it for a while, but from the standpoint, Taiwan is anti-mainland, this is politics, and when he made the decision to go north, Lin Xiaozhi's reaction on the Taiwan side has already been considered. It's just that when the reaction from Hong Kong came out, he was still taken aback.

Not to mention the loss of a lot of money, the key is that the Kowloon Bank, which he has always regarded as the private property of the Lin family, is so noisy, but it makes him very unhappy.

With regard to the speech attacks by the pro-Taiwan media in Hong Kong and the Taiwan authorities, it is certain that they will organize a counterattack. However, because he saw the instability of the family bank at this time, Lin Xiaozhi was also ruthless and took this opportunity to rectify the Kowloon Bank.

This idea must have been, and he was also ruthless in his heart, and said directly to Song Nianhui: "I don't care who makes trouble, the Kowloon Bank can't make a mess, and strengthening cooperation with the mainland will also be the long-term strategy of the bank in the future, and I can't make compromises because of anyone's denial." If you go back and tell those shareholders who are unhappy to make trouble, just say that it was released by me Lin Xiaozhi, either quietly sit and wait for the bank to pay dividends, or sell the shares and I will get out of the money. How many shares do they have, plus one percent of the quotation, I will take it all......"

If his father Lin Jiannian is still there, he should focus on appeasing the shareholders of the Kowloon Bank, after all, many of them are the descendants of the old brothers who fought with Lin Jili at the beginning. But they don't have a half-dime relationship with Lin Xiaozhi, don't give him face, make him unhappy, Lin Xiaozhi is unhappy, everyone scatters and leaves. If you want to say that he Lin Xiaozhi really does not lack that, not to mention that the 200 million US dollars he made from long momentum futures is now more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars unused, just after the listing of Media Asia, Lin Xiaozhi has also withdrawn 6 or 700 million Hong Kong dollars of funds by reducing his stock holdings several times, so that the reserve funds in his hands were once as high as 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, in Hong Kong in the early nineties, there was such a huge amount of money, and it was enough to do anything.

"Lin Sheng......"

Song Nianhui frowned, he was born in Taiwan, he obviously didn't know why Lin Xiaozhi valued the mainland so much, after all, from his own point of view, he did not approve of cooperating with the Bank of China Group.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Lin Xiaozhi's seemingly plain but resolute eyes, so he could only sigh and get up, put the teacup that he hadn't drunk on the coffee table on the side, and nodded in agreement: "I know it, if this is Lin Sheng's decision, I will do it truthfully."

The news that Lin Xiaozhi wanted to organize the Hong Kong entertainment industry to go north quickly spread in Hong Kong with the bombardment of pro-Taiwan media, attracting countless voices of opposition and discussion.

Worried that the overwhelming opposition would affect the decision of those who had been invited to the north, Lin Xiaozhi knew that he had to fight back. So, under his order, its major industries began to fight back

Lin Xiaozhi soon held a press conference as the chairman of the Media Asia Group, officially announced the resolution of visiting the mainland, but did not admit the 'pro-communist, position, for the outside world to question its resolution to go north, he just said: "Hong Kong is just a small place, as an international metropolis and free port, we can use a lot of resources and markets seem to be very limited, only by constantly opening up new markets to the outside world, in order to ensure the interests of the group and shareholders." After more than 10 years of reform and opening up, the living standards and conditions of the mainland compatriots are getting better and better, and it will be a much larger market than Hong Kong. Now that the countdown to Hong Kong's return to the motherland has begun, I have communicated with some friends in the Hong Kong film industry and entertainment industry, and they all feel that they should take the initiative to go north to strengthen exchanges and discuss the possibility of cooperation with their counterparts on the mainland. Maybe in a month or two, our movie will be officially released in major theaters on the mainland......"

After Lin Xiaozhi made an official explanation, Media Asia did not forget to release good news. Under his instructions, Media Asia Group soon submitted an application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a temporary suspension of trading, citing the restructuring of the group's assets and business adjustments.

The suspension lasted only one day, and soon the next day, the official and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange jointly released a joint announcement, proving that Media Asia recently spent HK$950 million to acquire the American independent film company Miramax 87. shares.

With the good news that Media Asia officially has its own distribution channel in the United States, Red Alert was finally released in Japan after a delay of several months, and the box office on the first day of release broke through UU 10,000 yen ferociously, winning the Japanese box office champion on the day. With the news that "Red Alert" exceeded 100 million yen at the Japanese box office on the third day of its release, the stock price of Media Asia, which had been hovering around the $7 line for several days, finally returned to above the $8 line, and broke through $9 three days later, completely recovering its lost ground

When it comes to a war of words, the role of holding a hugely influential newspaper group comes to the fore. As one of Lin Xiaozhi's private industries, the status of the throat newspaper made it the first to fight back: "...... To say that Taiwan's market is actually not smaller than Hong Kong, and its resources are ten or dozens of times that of Hong Kong, some people always can't see others as better than themselves, occupying a huge place, the island's film industry cannot develop, and all theaters still rely on foreign movies to feed, and if they don't reflect on the mistakes of their own policies, they will only look at others who are better than themselves, a typical sour grapes mentality. In the seventies and eighties, the popularity of Hong Kong films in Taiwan made some people think crookedly, so they jumped up and down, and soon after they issued the "Five Policies for the Introduction of Foreign Films" and "Five Changes to the Policies for the Introduction of Foreign Films" to restrict the entry of Hong Kong films, and even did not hesitate to introduce American films to fight against Hong Kong films. Nowadays, when Hong Kong movies are the most brilliant, there are still people who can't watch it well, but Taiwan is Taiwan, Hong Kong is Hong Kong, you can be the king and hegemon on the island, how many people still listen to the island dialect? ”

Because it involves the mainland, Ta Kung Pao, which has always been close to Beijing, also stood up and shouted for Lin Hsiao-chih: "Being vigilant against changes in Taiwan, behind making a big fuss, it can be seen that the attitude of some people on the island has changed rapidly after stabilizing the political situation on the island."

The commotion became bigger and bigger, and even "Wen Wei Po" stood up and publicly stated: "Looking at Lin Xiaozhi's northward journey rationally, Hong Kong and the mainland should cooperate rather than confront"

Wen Wei Po, which had caused civil unrest during the political turmoil, was a mainland-funded newspaper, but with Beijing's strong intervention at the beginning of last year, all the editors-in-chief from the president to the editor-in-chief had been replaced by hardcore pro-communist figures, and now at the beginning of the 90th century, it can basically be regarded as Beijing's half throat newspaper in Hong Kong. "Wen Wei Po" made a welcome attitude towards Lin Xiaozhi's visit to the north, which can basically be regarded as a statement by the mainland.

Sure enough, on the second day, Zhou Nan, director of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, personally released a message to the outside world, "The mainland welcomes friends, and Beijing looks forward to friends from the Hong Kong entertainment industry visiting the north"

After the public statement, which is regarded as the highest mainland official in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi's trip to the north has become completely clear.

"This is to throw me on the fire and roast it, and there is no smell of oil on my body, and I can't seduce my prey."

Humming self-deprecatingly, Lin Xiaozhi pillowed on Zhou Huimin's lap, but he looked in a good mood.

Even people who are no longer interested in politics can perceive that the media war of words that has been raging for more than a week in the past shows that there is someone behind it. Although Lin Xiaozhi was not entirely sure who was entertaining him, the other party's purpose was obviously to force his attitude. Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to guess who is behind it.

If it weren't for the Taiwanese media shaking out the gold transaction between the Bank of Kowloon and the Bank of China Group, Lin Xiaozhi probably wouldn't have thought much about it. After all, he has made a lot of noise in Hong Kong by pulling people to form groups to go north, and there are even some insiders who have a good relationship with him who call to ask what the situation is, and it will be exposed and the media will know that he is pulling people to go north, which is not surprising. However, in the gold transaction between the Bank of Kowloon and the Bank of China, except for a few bankers close to the mainland, the people in Hong Kong who knew the road were limited to a few high-level people in the Bank of Kowloon who knew the road with people on the mainland. It's not that Lin Hsiao-chi doesn't trust Taiwan's intelligence agencies, but if no one deliberately revealed it to the outside world, they wouldn't have known such a detailed story.

Dirty politics, to put it bluntly, is to force him to stand in line.

The years before the handover were the most turbulent years in Hong Kong, with the elite gambling, politicians gambling, middle-class gambling, and ordinary people gambling. The last two options in front of them were to continue to be a British colony or a special zone of China. Maybe many Hong Kong people want to stay in the UK, but they don't dare to accept it if they want to stay in the UK, and if the five hooligans of the United Nations really want to fight, it will not be such a small scene as the Falklands Battle. But the return to China has become the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and it is clear that what the north has done in the past few decades has left many people at a loss. Coupled with the privileges given by Beijing, it is not enough, at least far from satisfying those elites, so there is a debate over the process and timetable of the return, both overt and covert

This matter is also related to his identity, for example, if Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong and other bigwigs take the lead in saying that they want to go north, the media in Hong Kong will at most follow the trend and report it, and there will be no controversy at all. But there are more eyes on them than he does, and it's harder for people to choose. The British government in Hong Kong, the Taiwan authorities, or some Western forces are all involved, and this is also the reason why it was rumored in the middle of last year that the hardcore pro-communist faction Fok Yingdong wanted to form a group to go north, and it can be seen that he has not been able to make the trip so far.

Zhou Huimin gently helped him knead his temples to relieve fatigue, these days he has to be busy with the Hong Kong and Taiwan media war of words, to frequently meet and appease people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, to deal with many trivial matters between Media Asia Company and the Bank of Kowloon, to announce the news that his fourth film is about to start filming and select people.

"Are you going to the mainland?"

The gentle voice came out of her mouth, maybe it was an illusion, Lin Xiaozhi always felt that after she was pregnant, her temperament did not start to be moody like ordinary pregnant women, but seemed to be a little more maternal, and her temperament became more and more docile.

"Almost, I set off in early March, and I received an invitation from Xinhua News Agency to go over to the appointment tomorrow, and the exact time should be set by then."

Although Li Jiaxin is looking at him very closely now, but his other woman is pregnant, and he always finds time to accompany her recently, "It's about a week to go north, but from the perspective of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with this year's Academy Awards"

It's just a Golden Awards, maybe it's a grand event for Hong Kong filmmakers. But for this trip to the north, both Lin Xiaozhi and the senior management of Media Asia have invested a lot of effort and energy, and he knows which is more important.
