After a day of shopping, Sun Ziming and the others returned to the hotel, and it was already evening. As soon as I entered the guest room, I saw Uncle Zeng talking with Jin Zhenan, probably coming to the door as a lobbyist.

"Director Sun is good (President Kim is good)"

The two shook hands and greeted each other for a while, and Uncle Zeng reprimanded Li Chengkai beside him why the mobile phone was turned off.

Li Chengkai apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeng, I forgot to charge my batteries yesterday." Sorry, not in the future. ”

President Jin hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "It's okay, Director Sun, are you free at night?" I would like to invite you to dinner. ”

Sun Ziming also hurriedly confessed, "I'm really sorry, I have to have a meeting with George at night to discuss something." Why don't I treat you to dinner tomorrow? ”

The two were polite for a while, and set up tomorrow's dinner, and President Jin said goodbye with a smile on his face. There was a soft 'bang', and after the door was closed, Uncle Zeng immediately joked with a smile: "Ziming, the variety shows and TV series we produce are all eaten by the three TV stations." The purchase price is linked to advertising revenue, what do you think of this price code? ”

This price is not low, and Sun Ziming was a little moved for a while, "What is your opinion?" ”

Uncle Zeng immediately straightened up, and motioned to Li Chengkai to turn on the instrument, he and Sun Ziming are now cautious, for fear that the Koreans will also come with them.

"Ziming, it depends on how determined you are? George can help us get a TV station license and cover the whole country, but how sure is it to compete with the three of them? The xenophobia of Koreans, you see it too. If we insist on setting up a new TV station, we will definitely face the siege of the three of them, and this will be a quagmire, and no matter how much money we throw into it, all of them will be wasted. Now we can reap the benefits and we can also make good profits. With Yang Guozhong's energy and raw materials as bargaining chips, they will not deliberately mess with our ghosts, and they will definitely arrange according to the quality of the show. ”

Yes, building a TV station is not a small amount of money, Hong Kong Satellite TV has spent more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and South Korea has built a one covering the whole country, which cannot be built without billions.

Promise them that as long as the programs of the South Korean branch are produced, even if the quality is slightly inferior, the cost can be recovered, which can be said to be a guarantee without losing money, but it is also controlled by others. If you don't agree to them, it must be three families to encircle and suppress one! They have the support of the consortium behind them, but they have to transfuse a lot of blood to the new TV station, as long as the consortium behind them does not stop, the situation of three against one will always exist.

For a while, the guest room was so quiet that only the sound of the air conditioner remained, which was a big gamble, probably involving tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. If you win, you won't make much money, and if you lose, the money will go down the drain.

pondered for a long time, until several people were hungry and unbearable, Yuan Mei called a food delivery service for everyone, and Sun Ziming made up his mind, "Uncle Zeng, just when we spend 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to gamble, bet that their consortium can't support it endlessly." ”

Uncle Zeng motioned to Yuan Mei to serve dinner, and reminded in a deep voice: "Ziming, you have to think about it." Once a new TV station is established, it is likely to face the dilemma of advertising without advertisers. South Korea's economy and society are intertwined, and it doesn't matter if the major conglomerates and chaebols are fighting among themselves, but they are united externally. ”

"I know, what is your opinion?"

Uncle Zeng chewed slowly, his face was a little heavy, "Ziming, it is easy to be rich and prosperous, if you decide to gamble on this, it is impossible for Hong Kong Satellite TV and film companies to transfuse blood, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

This is the aftermath of giving everyone the right to vote in the first place, which has gathered people's hearts, but also ceded the decision-making power. Of course, Sun Ziming can also make a forced decision, but the people's hearts will be scattered, and they will no longer unite like this and treat the company as their own business.

"I know that I invest in the name of ESPN, and naturally ESPN will be responsible for winning and losing. Will there be any opposition to support from Hong Kong other than funding? ”

Uncle Zeng shook his head, that won't happen, the entire group was founded by Sun Ziming, and everyone made a fortune with him, and there is still a sense of gratitude. Besides, this is to kill South Korea's film and television industry, which is certainly a very risky action, but if it succeeds, it will benefit the entire light and shadow group.

In the East Asian film and television industry, it is difficult for the Japanese to go abroad due to historical reasons, and their domestic market is large enough, except for companies with vision like Toho, the rest have little motivation to open up overseas markets. The Chinese-language film and television industry naturally has a population advantage, but it also has a lot of power, and it is inevitable that there will be a scuffle when the time comes. Don't look at Golden Harvest and Debao as authentic Hong Kong companies, people have also established companies in the north, and they are gearing up to do a good job in the mainland market with their capital and technical advantages.

But everyone has chosen to forget about South Korea, a huge market with a population of 50 million and an economy ten times that of Hong Kong. Such a place, once developed, and there is no historical enmity with the Chinese, it is easy to enter the Chinese-speaking areas and snatch the cake that should belong to the Chinese.

"Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain", Sun Ziming muttered and reached out to serve the soup.

Uncle Zeng replied, "This is called 'the boss is difficult to be', we are the boss of the industry, and these things have become our responsibility." At the beginning, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were because they dominated the position of the boss and took the benefits of the boss, but they did not give the younger brother the master, and often suppressed the younger brother, and finally let us step down. ”

Li Chengkai and the others were stunned, but Sun Ziming knew the inside story of the decline of the Shaw Brothers and the removal of Golden Harvest by himself. If Sixth Uncle Hou and Zou Wenhuai and other generals were to do so, there would be no Jiahe; Zou Wenhuai is not a good bird, Hong Jinbao and Mai Guangtou left Jiahe to work alone, and the films they made couldn't even find the theaters where they were released. If it weren't for Lei Laohu to build a Golden Princess Cinema, how could there be a new art city later?

Not long after the people finished eating, George came back from the embassy with his assistant, "Boss, are you sure you want to set up ESPN South Korea TV, not a bargaining weight?" ”

“Yes”

"OK", George took a plan from his assistant and handed it to Sun Ziming, "Boss, Hong Kong Light and Shadow Company's star training program in Chinese mainland, I am very interested and want to try it out at ESPN." This is a revised plan based on the actual situation in the United States. ”

Sun Ziming took it and flipped through it roughly, but he just removed those nanny-style services and gave the artist the freedom of his private life.

"Yes, it's not like it is in Asia in the United States, where the ideas are more conservative. George, do you have any comments on the establishment of ESPN South Korea? ”

George took the coffee poured by Yuan Mei and thanked him before sitting down, "The risk is high, the reward is also high, it depends on how far Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group can go in Chinese mainland and how fast the economic development of Chinese mainland is!" ”

Well? A few people immediately came to their senses, everyone was an insider, and it was likely that George, an outsider, saw some things more clearly.
