Volume 1 Chapter 353 First Day of Listing 2
In Hong Kong, although some traditional Chinese festivals have been retained, they generally follow Western holidays. New Year's Day in Hong Kong is a holiday, fortunately, schools and some companies will take a holiday, but the Hong Kong stock market before the return of 9l years did not have the habit of taking a holiday on New Year's Day, but learned from Europe and the United States to close the market for three days before and after Christmas, with the end of the most solemn festival in the West, from Europe to North America to Asia, the world's main securities trading market has also entered an active state with the arrival of the new year.
The reason why Media Asia can be released on the first day of the new year is the result of Lin Xiaozhi's initiative to fight with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He originally thought that the New Year's Day in Hong Kong was going to be closed, but he didn't think about this day at first, but who knew that Lu Dao later asked Song Nianhui about it, and only then did he know that the New Year's Day in Hong Kong was not closed unless it was a Sunday. So, I took the initiative to fight with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to be released on this monumental day.
On the first day of the new year, the victory of the past was turned over, and with the arrival of the new year, a new glory began. This implication is indeed good.
Of course, it will be released on this day, not just for an allegorical meaning, there are deeper reasons for this. Listed in this time period, there is no doubt that the three main movies of New Asia in the second half of the year, "Love Letter", "Gambling Saint" and Red Alert, have also completed or started their release in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Lin Xiaozhi has a good calculation, and wants to use the huge box office dividends of the three films in Asia and Europe to stimulate the company's stock price after listing.
No entrepreneur can resist the temptation to go public, because going public means creating wealth, which means that he has just a bunch of shares with a very vague evaluation concept, which will be directly equated with money. Therefore, for such a listing opportunity, Lin Xiaozhi is cautious. As early as when he had the plan to go public, he began to plan to continuously create a large number of gimmicks. After the acquisition of Debao, he did not admit this matter for a full month, although there was a certain reason to speed up the digestion of Debao and prevent opponents such as Golden Harvest and Golden Princess from making trouble behind their backs, so as not to satisfy the appetite of others.
Sure enough, although New Asia has been in the limelight in the past two years, in the eyes of many people, it is still just a new film company that has not appeared long after all, and it is naturally not as good as the old giant Debao. As a result, after he held a press conference and officially announced the news of the acquisition of all the assets of the Debao system, Xinya's feat of swallowing an elephant shocked the industry. Subsequently, the establishment of Media Asia and the feat of the distribution giant Meiya being quietly annexed in silence made the whole of Hong Kong realize that a large film and television group similar to Europe and the United States was born.
The absolute controlling stake in Shing Pao Newspaper Group, with a special relationship with the Lam family, who controls the Hong Kong television giant ATV, owns a licensed bank, acquired the only professional film special effects processing company in Hong Kong, and acquired another company in North America with the same category of film special effects processing capabilities......
Although these are not assets under the name of Media Asia, but as the property of Lin Xiaozhi, the helmsman of Media Asia, integrating these scattered resources together, no one will doubt what the future of Media Asia, which is mainly good at money and has its own strong publicity channels and distribution channels
"Master, it's time for you to get up"
Recently, the old man had a cold, and he couldn't do it without a relative to take care of him. So Li Jiaxin went to Portugal to be dealt with by her biological father, and after Zhou Huimin went back to his home to take care of his grandmother, he returned to the Lin Mansion to live temporarily. Fu Bo knew the importance of today, and arranged the servant on duty last night, and just after half past five in the morning, a servant came to knock on his door and urge.
"I know the way"
Putting down the speech that was to be read out according to the script, Lin Xiaozhi rubbed his sour eyes and got out of bed, and he was not in a hurry to change his clothes, so he wore a pair of pajamas to finish washing and brushing not long after, Fu Bo, who had a pair of bloodshot eyes like him, had already beckoned the servants of the Lin Mansion to prepare breakfast.
"Young Master Sun, breakfast is ready"
Lin Xiaozhi didn't have much appetite, but when he entered the restaurant, he saw that the old man was already sitting there, and he swallowed the words of refusal when he came to his lips, and quietly pulled a bench next to the old man and sat down.
"Got up, did you sleep well last night?"
The eldest son had a car accident with the eldest grandson, and the white-haired man almost sent the black-haired man, and the old man looked even older in the past six months. I heard from the servants in the house that the old man had a migraine, sometimes he was in pain all night and couldn't sleep, he often had insomnia and often felt that he didn't get enough sleep, and the arrival of many old people's diseases made his body unable to support it.
"I didn't sleep well in the first half of the night, after all, it was the first time. I slept in the second half of the night, but it was only a short nap, and I woke up at four o'clock."
Lin Xiaozhi yawned, answered truthfully, and took a sip of the polenta in the bowl. The sweetness stimulated his taste buds and mood, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
Breakfast was a sweet polenta and bacon ham sandwich, and the chef at home had pretty much figured out what he was interested in. Completely different from the previous gentleman, he is more accustomed to this Western-style simple and quick working meal.
The old man smiled and nodded, "Also, today is a different day for you." If you need to be busy all day, come back early in the afternoon and rest."
Fu Bo had just gone out of the city and came back soon, "Master, Young Master Sun, I have already prepared the dress......
Lin Xiaozhi was surprised when he heard this, put down the sandwich he had bitten in, and looked at Lin Jili: "Grandpa, are you going to go over to the listing ceremony?" ”
He had considered inviting the old man before, but given his current health, he finally dismissed this idea.
"Go, Lao Jiu has to pass, I can't go over" Although it is a listing ceremony, pomp and guests are still needed. Lin Xiaozhi is not famous in Hong Kong, but his connections in the business circle are concentrated in the film and television industry, and most of the people invited are stars and directors in the film and television industry, and the bosses of film companies will come some, but although he also sent invitations to the bosses of many companies such as Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, most of them directly said that there was something wrong, and they found someone to send a flower basket to congratulate them. After coming out of the 80s, the competition in Hong Kong's film industry has lost a lot of gunpowder because of the aging of Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. But it doesn't mean that giants like Golden Harvest and Golden Princess will wave their flags and shout for the enemy.
Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person, not only invited the former boss of ATV Qiu Degen and the current president of ATV Lin Jianming, but also invited Lin Baixin, one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, to support him on the scene, plus his influence in the media industry, hundreds of Hong Kong media who have received the invitation have readily agreed to come to the show.
The old man took the initiative to ask to go over, which made Lin Xiaozhi a little worried, worried that his body would not be able to bear it. But after thinking about it, I still nodded and refused without a word. He is not prepared to stop the old man's kindness, at most he should pay attention when the time comes.
