Volume 1 Chapter 125 An era is coming to an end

The two eyes were so straight together that this state had been maintained for two or three minutes.

Lin Xiaozhi always had a respectful, modest and gentle smile on his face, and after waiting for so many days, Qiu Degen now called him over with a phone call, and he knew in his heart. For the old man in front of him who single-handedly created the 'ATV Empire,Lin Xiaozhi has always maintained enough respect, and it is the respect of the younger generations for the predecessors of the entrepreneurs.

The silence lasted for a long time, and then Qiu Degen sighed with some regret, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down...... I don't need to say more, you should also know what I called you here for, right? ”

"When Chairman Qiu said this, did the board of directors agree to sell Xinya to me?"

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, although this matter seemed to him to be a sure thing, but the meat that he didn't eat and chewed and swallowed in his mouth would eventually return to someone else's plate and might fly away at any time.

Qiu Degen squeezed out a smile on his face, a little ugly, but he still nodded, took out a document from the table, and motioned for him to take it and look at it. Lin Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, but he still stepped forward to take it, and he didn't sit down in his seat, so he stood in front of him and looked at it, and soon his face was first happy, and then his brows were furrowed.

"Dong Qiu, aren't you kidding me?"

This document is a hand-copied version of the board of directors' records, which is written on the resolution of ATV's board of directors to sell New Asia. But what makes him unhappy is that this ATV obviously regards him as a wronged leader, and forty percent of the shares of New Asia in his hand will be sold to him for 9 million Hong Kong dollars, and when Qiu's Film Company changed its name to New Asia a year ago and introduced Zheng Zeshi as a shareholder, how much is the entire film company worth? 10 million only

Nine million Lin Xiaozhi took it out, but only a fool would be willing to treat him as a wronged leader. Last month, he bought Zheng Zeshi's 30% Xinya shares and only spent 5 million, ATV only has 10% more shares than Zheng Zeshi, so high, isn't this a clear trick.

"How...... Too expensive? Qiu Degen snorted coldly, Twilight looked straight at him, and her voice was not very good: "Your little tricks, the concealment you do doesn't mean that others don't know the way." Then let me ask you, how much money does "Can't Help It" Xinya makes? ”

Lin Xiaozhi's eyelids jumped, but his face was still calm, and he estimated it in his heart before saying: "After deducting the investment, Xinya has made a net profit of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Hmph" Qiu Degen snorted, "How did I hear that you just sold flowers and videotapes, and you took 10 million from Meiya, where did the money go."

"According to the investment agreement, the main investor of the film, Kowloon Venture Capital Company, gave up the copyright of the film, and the copyright belongs to New Asia, and most of the proceeds from the sale of films and videotapes will go to ......them as compensation," he shrugged, "When New Asia had no money, when Mr. Wang left, he transferred most of New Asia's finances to the finance department of ATV, Chairman Qiu, I reported this to you."

"What a 'Kowloon Venture Capital Company, I think it's your Lin Xiaozhi's own industry, right?" Qiu Degen snorted coldly, this old fox has been rolling in the mall for decades, Lin Xiaozhi used the same method, and once made Wang Jiaan and Xinya suffer a secret loss, and a "I'm Crazy for Qing" earned him more than five million dollars. Previously, as the chairman of Xinya, when he called to inquire about the financial situation of Xinya at the bank, he learned that there was not much money in Xinya's corporate account.

Regarding Lin Xiaozhi's actions, Qiu Degen said in his heart that it was impossible not to be angry. Although he is worth billions of dollars, he doesn't care about the money that Xinya was swallowed by Lin Xiaozhi, but he attached great importance to this junior before, and it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable when he found this cat at first glance.

In the face of Qiu Degen's sudden rebuke, Lin Xiaozhi closed his mouth and neither denied nor admitted it, which was regarded as a silent attitude, acquiescing to his speculation.

Qiu Degen looked at him coldly, and said for a long time: "I have filled my pockets, I haven't calculated an account with you, you still think the price of ATV is high...

Lin Xiaozhi didn't like to hear this, his eyes suddenly widened, he raised his head to look at him and replied expressionlessly: "Qiu Dong, I don't like to hear you say that." I wrote the script of "Can't Help It", I hired the director, I found the crew, and I chose the actors. I'm not wrong in terms of funds, at that time, there were more than 2 million in Xinya's account, and I had to pay salaries to dozens of people in the company, so it was impossible for me not to save a penny in the company's account. So, is it wrong for me to contact other capitals to make movies? Even if, as you said, Kowloon Ventures is mine, does it make any difference? I have brought the opportunity to make money to New Asia, and New Asia should be even more grateful to me. In the whole process, only New Asia has a battle with New Asia on the channel, but the distribution department of New Asia was also built by me. I'm not wrong......"

This time it was Qiu Degen's turn to be silent, yes, as Lin Xiaozhi said, without this script, without him Lin Xiaozhi, it would be impossible for Xinya to make money. Although he changed some of his concepts and diluted his use of power for personal gain, Qiu Degen had to admit that Xinya did seem to have gained a new life in the hands of Lin Xiaozhi.

Looking at the stubborn and proud young man in front of him, the confidence and vitality in his body made him feel lighter when he was getting old. That kind of vision, confidence and expectation for the future, for many years, he almost forgot that he had these things himself.

"Eight million, I will sell you 40% of ATV's shares"

He waved his hand, a tired look between his eyebrows.

Lin Xiaozhi was still not satisfied, "Dong Qiu, this price is indeed too high, a month ago, I bought the thirty percent of the New Asia shares from Zheng Sheng's hands, and I only spent five million Hong Kong dollars and seven million, and everyone took a step back." I've got to keep some money in my hands to make a film."

According to this record, when he took over New Asia, ATV transferred 4 million from New Asia's financial account to pay off the appropriation owed by New Asia to ATV's finance department. And how much money is only on the New Asia account now? It's just over four million.

"Eight million" Qiu Degen didn't let a single step, "Your small means can't hide from people, if it is delayed until the release of your new movie "Color is Empty", ATV management will pay more attention to people." ”

Lin Xiaozhi has a contract in hand, and he is not worried about his soft threat at all.

Qiu Degen saw that he was unmoved, his brows furrowed, and then he sighed: "I'm about to leave ATV, ATV is my pride, and Xinya is also my hard work, I want to leave more money for ATV before leaving." In this way, forty percent of ATV's shares are still eight million for you, and thirty percent of the shares in my hand, when I leave ATV, I will let you take it down according to the price you gave Zheng Sheng."

Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, and he remembered that he only cared about competing with Qiu Degen for forty percent of ATV's shares, and completely forgot that the old man in front of him still had thirty percent in his hand. He hesitated a little in his heart, listening to the old man's meaning, it seemed that he did not plan to sell all the shares of Xinya to him at once. If this drags on, what if there is a change?

Qiu Degen saw that he was slow to reply, and frowned when he looked up at him. After thinking for a while, he smiled miserably, "What, are you still worried that my old man will lie to you?" This Xinya is now estimated to be only you and me as a baby, who else can you give it to......"

The last sentence was particularly sad, and Lin Xiaozhi knew the situation at home. Qiu Degen has a total of seven sons and one daughter, in addition to his favorite son who has been sentenced to several years in prison, the remaining six sons and one daughter are not in ATV at all, and they are fighting for his Far Eastern Empire with all their might, from the hotel under Qiu Degen's name to the bank to the real estate, it is said that the two house girls have fought more than a dozen lawsuits in order to fight for his family property, and this is still the case of the old man

Xu was out of sympathy, or believed in his credit, Lin Xiaozhi finally nodded and agreed to use 8 million to buy 40% of ATV's shares. But he also made a request, "Qiu Sheng, I can use eight million shares in ATV's hands, but I also hope that you and ATV can agree to my request." We can't find a suitable office space for a while, and I hope that ATV can give us a few months until we find a more suitable office location, and New Asia will continue to work in the ATV building."

Qiu Degen only thought about it and agreed, anyway, the ATV building is big enough, "Yes, before I leave, you can continue to stay in the ATV building." However, some people will gossip that the rent ATV still has to be collected. In this case, before I leave, I will collect 50,000 yuan a month from you Xinya. ”

This is already a good offer, and Lin Xiaozhi happily agreed.

After making an appointment with Qiu Degen to sign the contract in the afternoon, Lin Xiaozhi said hello to him, turned around and was about to leave his office. The person walked to the door, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, stopped and turned around and asked, "Dong Qiu, when do you plan to leave ATV?" ”

"May or June"

Lin Xiaozhi nodded and pushed the door out, he knew that an era of ATV was coming to an end

After the meeting of the board of directors of ATV, a series of hot news quickly came out of the mouths of the top management.

Lin Baixin didn't know what means Lu Dao used, in short, Lin Xiaozhi originally thought that there would be some difficult things, but he easily did it. Le Shao, Lin Jianle's temporary departure caused a shock in the ATV building, and many people who were attached to him were flustered, uneasy and anxious in a short period of time, and no one knew whether he was leaving ATV forever or just temporarily.

As the largest shareholder of ATV, the Lin family has the right to install two executive directors on the board of directors. Lin Baixin personally occupied a place, and with the departure of Lin Jianle, many people originally thought that they would be idle for a while, but everyone was wrong, at the new board meeting, Lin Baixin proposed to appoint his eldest son Lin Jianming as the new director of ATV, and the resolution of several major shareholders was passed easily.

After the meeting, Lin Baixin, the major shareholder, made another move, so that everyone in ATV was aware of the strong strength and confidence of the new boss in the future. On the first day of the month, the newly appointed executive director Lin Jianming went to ATV to report. At the high-level welcome meeting on the first day, he read out a short agreement, but the content became one of the hottest news in the entire ATV and even Hong Kong's financial and entertainment circles in the following week.

Lai Sun Group will borrow 500 million interest-free loans from ATV in the next two years for the renewal of ATV equipment, the upgrade of artist contract benefits, the increase of staff salaries, etc., which has won unanimous praise from ATV. Lin Baixin has not yet joined ATV, so he got this affectionate nickname first. With the help of this general trend, ATV made decisive moves and made repeated attacks, signing more than a dozen artists whose contracts with ATV expired or were about to expire in just one week, and also provided several pillars of the town with a five-year and seven-year contract with generous benefits. To everyone's surprise, among the ten heroes who announced earlier that they would not renew their contracts with ATV, Liu Songren, Liu Yong, and Xu Shaoqiang successively won ATV's sky-high contract retention and announced that they would renew their contracts with ATV.

With Qiu Degen meeting privately with Xu Xiaoming, Huang Jianming and other two old courtiers and reaching a verbal agreement, ATV withdrew the prosecution of the two in a low-key manner before everyone reacted.

On May 5, when the new executive director Lin Jianming held a press conference, and jointly announced with Zhang Yonglin, general manager of TVB, that he had obtained a one-year loan right to the Clear Water Bay studio for 13 million Hong Kong dollars. At this point, the storm of all-out confrontation between ATV and wireless that has been set off since the beginning of last year has been temporarily subsided.

Two days later, Qiu Degen announced the appointment of new director Lin Jianming as executive vice president of ATV. When the news broke, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong were in an uproar.

ATV, the era of Qiu Degen is coming to an end
