Chapter 483: ATV Shot
The battle between Lin Xiaozhi and him and the four giants in the media industry quickly became white-hot with the counterattack of the four media groups.
"The existence of Next Digital and Oriental Press Group is undoubtedly two huge cancers in Hong Kong's media industry. Many artists in the industry have reacted that their private lives and personal lives have been infringed upon by these two media outlets for a long time. These include not only sending paparazzi to follow and secretly take pictures with cameras, but also the slightest protest by the artist, and then the media violence of two media companies, the most common means is to use the "Oriental Daily" and "Next Magazine", two newspapers with a huge circulation in Hong Kong, to maliciously slander and ban artists who 'challenge their status'. In the face of this kind of unscrupulous media's domineering methods, most weak artists can only let them be violent, and they have no power to resist! β
"The business empire of the newspaper queen Hu Xian is now in crisis due to a series of failed real estate investments, and this crisis is likely to affect Sing Tao Press Group in the end. According to a well-known person in the business circles told this newspaper, in order to make up for her mistakes in investing in the Hong Kong property market in the past few years, Hu Xian not only did not make any additional investment in the Sing Tao Press Group for many years, but also borrowed heavily from a number of business people in the past two years to raise funds to enter the development of real estate in Australia. He said that Hu Xian's private debt at this time may have exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars! β
"Relying on the acquisition of Ming Pao this year, Yu Pinhai, a well-known tycoon in the Hong Kong business community, was recently exposed by the industry that he had a criminal record when he studied in Canada in his early years, including theft, illegal theft of their credit cards, possession of firearms and other crimes, which have not been revoked so far."
As a newspaper group controlled by Lin Xiaozhi, Cheng Pao was faced with several media that had become rivals to slander its boss, and Cheng Pao naturally took one as four and fought with the four major media giants.
Although a lot of 'evidence' has been found, and although Sing Pao Newspaper Group's Sing Pao is also the second largest newspaper in Hong Kong in terms of circulation, it is still reluctant to wage war with these four media giants at the same time.
No, the war of words has only been fought for a week, and Cheng Pao is already in decline in the eyes of outsiders, relying on the joint efforts of the four major media giants to crack down, Cheng Pao is not as good as the four major media in terms of circulation and coverage of the people, and has fallen into a disadvantage.
Lin Xiaozhi naturally can't tolerate losing the victory of this 'battle', and has frequently appeared in front of people in a high-profile manner recently, especially in an interview with "Hong Kong Fortune" weekly, and even declared in a high-profile manner: "We will not accept any compromise and concession, especially when our legitimate rights and interests are violated by those unscrupulous media." The four rogue media can do whatever it takes for the sake of news, and they have become a big cancer that seriously endangers the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Especially Oriental Press and Next Digital, many artists in our group have been subjected to soft violence from these two companies. Ming Pao's actions during Cha Sheng's business period were quite arrogant and arrogant, which is admirable. But after a new boss, Cha Sheng did not learn the advantages, but learned all the shortcomings of some bad media, looking at the current performance of Ming Pao, I am very curious about what this influential media in the Chinese world will degenerate into in a year or two. β
"In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the group's subordinate artists from repeated infringement by unscrupulous media, we have to take up arms to fight back, and at the same time warn the four unscrupulous media that without the permission of our group, any report about the group and its subordinate artists is an infringement of our legitimate rights and interests, and we can only see in court once we find out!"
The implication is to forcibly ban the four major media and prohibit their newspapers and periodicals from reporting any news related to Media Asia or even ATV artists.
As soon as his remarks were exposed, the Hong Kong media, which was already lively because of the conflict between him and the four major media outlets, suddenly became even more lively.
Lin Xiaozhi announced the ban on the four major media outlets, and the fierce conflict tended to heat up. Justice Ng Cho Hung has been appointed to act in this legal dispute, and the first trial may be held before Christmas! According to a source in the judicial circles, in view of the fact that this case involves many media and is very tricky, the Hong Kong government may intervene in mediation! - Ta Kung Pao
"Oriental Press bombarded Lin Xiaozhi for illegally misappropriating depositors' funds, and Kowloon Bank responded that its performance was excellent and that the government is ready to investigate!" ββHong Kong Economic Times
"Yu Pinhai denied that he had a criminal record in Canada, and reprimanded "Cheng Pao" for deliberately smearing himself!" - South China Morning Post
Hu Xian refuted his doubts about investing in real estate, saying that Sing Tao Newspaper has excellent performance and invests in Australian real estate only because of business needs! ββHong Kong Commercial Daily
Although the transfer of power to ATV is still in progress, after all, it involves a TV company with thousands of employees, and according to the most optimistic estimates, it is relatively optimistic that the transfer of power can be completed within a month.
However, that day, under Lin Jianming's introduction, after he met with the senior management of ATV, ATV had confirmed his identity as the new boss, and Lin Jianming had the intention to sell him a favor for him before leaving, so ATV soon joined the battle group and cooperated with "Cheng Pao" to face the four major media giants.
"Dirty political speculator - Lai Zhiying! According to insiders who revealed the news to this station, Li Zhiying, the boss of Next Digital, took advantage of the high mood of Minyun's supporters during the political turmoil the year before last to wait for an opportunity to earn black money from Hong Kong people. According to sources, he sold a batch of cheap clothes with a cost of less than 30 yuan (Hong Kong dollars) for OEM in Southeast Asia to the 'Giordano' (Li Zhiying's company brand) brand and various incendiary support slogans, and then sold them to Minyun supporters at a high price ranging from 150 to 300 Hong Kong dollars, easily earning tens of millions of dollars. The insider also revealed to this newspaper that Lai Chi-ying and a certain member of the Legislative Council, who had a close relationship with him, were invited by London to visit Britain secretly in the middle of the year, and were received by the new British Prime Minister Ma Cheuk-an (John Major). According to foreign media reports, the new British Minister Ma Zhuoan has been dissatisfied with the current Hong Kong governor's attitude towards the mainland too 'friendly', and promised the 'Times' as early as the beginning of his tenure that he would give the Communist Party a tougher response on the Hong Kong issue, which may be an attempt to use the influence of Next Media to escort the replacement of the new Hong Kong governor! β
In the report, it seems that this is all bland, but in fact, it is bloody.
For example, in the previous article, although many manufacturers in Hong Kong and Taiwan like to outsource their production at a low price, and then take the finished product and paste it with their own brand and sell it at a high price. This was a very common business practice, but at this time, ATV linked it with the black money of Minyun's supporters, which immediately had the effect of controlling the group. The latter is even more insidious, except for the traitor Lee Chu-ming, who has long since thrown his face away, other Hong Kong politicians still have to be cheeky, so even if they take a pro-British, pro-Taiwan, and pro-Western stance and oppose Hong Kong's return to China, they mostly do their best to follow the pro-people line under the banner of thinking about the interests of Hong Kong citizens. The current Governor of Hong Kong, Wilson Wilson, has a good reputation in Hong Kong, and compared to the new Governor of Hong Kong, who may be replaced by Hong Kong people who are mischievous to the return, no one knows him, there is no doubt that even politicians are willing to be involved too much before the situation becomes clear, not to mention that he Lai Zhiying is just a public figure, not a politician.
Relying on the huge influence of ATV, after slapping Next Media with the way of news broadcasting, some voices from all walks of life in Hong Kong soon questioned him.
So much so that Li Zhiying had to come forward to clarify in embarrassment, and repeatedly assured the outside world that he had never made black money in Minyun. But it is an indisputable fact that his Giordano clothing did build a factory in the Philippines, and after being poked out by other media, the voice of doubt about him was really louder. So that Li Zhiying could only reprimand ATV for framing him, and at the same time announced that he would donate 3 million to the Hong Kong Minyun Organization again to prove his support for Minyun.
