Chapter 343: The Man Who Waits for Battle
Gao Zhenhua finally agreed to sell ATV to Stephen Zhao, in addition to being moved by Stephen Zhao's sentence "to create the most vibrant TV entertainment brand in Xiangjiang and even in the whole of China", he was more tired.
Accepting ATV is nothing to the wealthy Gao family. The entire Gao family, in addition to several listed companies with a market value of tens of billions on the surface, hundreds of properties and countless antique jewelry hidden in the shadows are more than five or six billion.
Even after taking over ATV, ATV continued to "maintain" the previous loss range, and even the loss margin has been rising year after year, and it has to take out a lot of silver to fill this hole, but for the Gao family, it is just a drizzle, just a drop in the bucket.
Losing money, Gao Zhenhua doesn't care, with the support of the central government, he can make a lot of money in other industries, lose with one hand, earn with the other, he earns more, what he cares about is that there is no end!
In 2006, he took over ATV, and now in 2016, it is about to be 2017, and the Gao family has been in charge of ATV for ten years.
Ten years, every year has a large loss, ATV's market is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, getting worse and worse year by year, poor and weak, everyone can see that ATV's result is only one: bankruptcy!
Although ATV's poverty and weakness began before the Gao family became the owner, the Gao family is just continuing this path, but for ten years, it can also be seen that the Gao family is incompetent.
ATV has a glorious history, so many people have special feelings for ATV, although ATV is getting worse and worse, the result is going bankrupt, no one will make a fuss because of this, but for the Gao family, who has been in charge for ten years, no one will have a good impression. Even if it can be guessed that the Gao family did not focus on the development of ATV at all, they also unanimously agreed: "The Gao family is too bad!" ”
Now, Zhao Xingchi is willing to take over, and there is a person in the system like Ye Sanshao behind him. Gao Zhenhua was happy to take off the ATV and take himself out.
What will the future of ATV look like, whether it will go bankrupt or develop, it will have nothing to do with the Gao family, and it will end up light.
As for the central government, the Gao family has been in charge of ATV for ten years. It's already interesting.
On December 18, witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, Stephen Zhao and Gao Zhenhua signed an acquisition contract, and Stephen Zhao used 2 billion cash to acquire 51% of Gao's shares in ATV, becoming the largest shareholder of ATV.
2 billion cash, Stephen Zhao didn't have it, and he couldn't take it out, it was the Modu Commercial Bank that provided the guarantee, and Stephen Zhao didn't pay a penny.
The next day. Zhao Xingchi was not satisfied with the identity of the largest shareholder, accompanied by Han Minzhong, Wang Xuecheng, and Shao Kang, vice president of Modu Commercial Bank, he visited several other small shareholders of ATV non-stop and acquired all the remaining shares of ATV. Fortunately, ATV is not a listed company, otherwise many regulations would have made his acquisition come to naught.
So far, ATV has become Stephen Zhao, or more so, the private TV station of Red Star Media Company!
Because the acquisition was carried out in secret, it was not known to the outside world. It spread only in the upper circles.
TB TV.
"What do you say? Stephen Zhao acquired ATV? "TB's boss Chen Qiang lost his temper after hearing the news. He stood up suddenly, his eyes staring at Chen Yunshan, the assistant who came to report. Due to the violent movement of getting up, even the pen and paper on the desk were spilled, and the desk was in a mess.
"The news is true! Stephen Zhao first visited Gao Zhenhua and acquired the 51% stake in the Gao family, and then went to visit other shareholders. With both soft and hard measures, all the shares of ATV were taken into hand. Now, ATV has become his one-man TV station. ”
Chen Yunshan kept wiping his sweat while reporting the news, and he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Boss." What do we do next? ”
Chen Qiangtie blushed and said in disbelief: "Although ATV is in tatters, there are still three points of nails in the rotten ship, there are no 40~50 billion, don't want to get ATV in your hands, he Zhao Xingchi has only risen to a little more than three years this year, where did he get so much money?" Do you know which bank he found to borrow money, why didn't he make any movement beforehand? ”
Chen Yunshan smiled bitterly: "I heard that it is a commercial bank over there in the magic capital, I don't know how much the specific loan is, but I heard that Zhao Xingchi himself didn't spend a penny." ”
"It's really a local tyrant!"
Chen Qiang is Chen Qiang after all, he quickly calmed down, and then ordered: "Don't underestimate Zhao Xingchi, although he has never run a TV station, he is very talented in the entertainment industry and is a powerful opponent." In this way, you personally go to keep an eye on the movements of ATV, and report it immediately as soon as there is news, we must fight with him with a spirit of 12 points, we must not take it lightly, we can't fail! ”
"I see!" Chen Yunshan nodded.
Since Stephen Zhao's debut, he has shocked people every time.
A moment ago, when Stephen Zhao said what he was going to do, everyone criticized and was not optimistic; The next moment, Stephen Zhao completed the matter beautifully under pressure, leaving everyone stunned.
Whether it is the change of writing theme, or the transfer to the field of TV dramas, music, and films, Stephen Zhao has given people a shocking performance.
With such a performance, Stephen Zhao acquired their rival ATV and became their new rival, and it would be a lie for the two of them to say that there was no pressure.
Especially now, when Stephen Zhao came to Xiangjiang with the amazing result of more than 900 million yuan in the box office market with "Painted Skin", the momentum was magnificent and the edge was revealed. The pressure felt by Chen Qiang and Chen Yunshan was even greater, and it would not be too much to say that the pressure was greater!
Fortunately, TB TV's advantage over ATV is very huge, and for a while, there is no worry that ATV can threaten TB, so Chen Qiang and Chen Yunshan were not scared.
On the other hand, Huaxia Star Film Company, the atmosphere at the moment is completely different from the atmosphere in TB TV.
"Stephen Zhao acquired ATV? What is the guarantee made by Modu Commercial Bank? Hahaha...... There is a good show to watch now, and I don't know if the guy Chen Qiang was scared to pee. Qian Qiang, the boss of Huaxia Star, was just stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then laughed, and at the same time did not forget to make fun of the boss of TB TV.
"Chen Qiang is also an old man, and he will definitely not be scared to pee his pants, but he must be on standby, sending people to stare at ATV and Zhao Xingchi."
Fang Yi, who is not only Qian Qiang's wife, but also Qian Qiang's right and left hand in his career, and a heavyweight in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, she then said with emotion: "I really didn't see it before, Stephen Zhao actually had this mind, bought ATV, and didn't spend a penny, all of them were borrowed from the bank, full of courage." Tell me, did he bring ATV back to life? ”
Qian Qiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't know if ATV can come back to life, but it's true that this kid is very capable in the film and television industry, a "Painted Skin", the mainland box office market alone has sold more than 900 million, if you add Xiangjiang, Mazu Island, Wa China, Bangzi Country, Southeast Asia and other countries, at least 20 billion, plus the disc market, TV copyright, Internet copyright, Europe and the United States and other surrounding channels, my obedient, I can't make enough money from the movie "Painted Skin" to buy ATV. No wonder the Modu Commercial Bank dared to guarantee him in full. ”
Fang Yi was also surprised when he heard this: "What you said is really true. Ah, by the way, don't forget the copyright of Stephen Zhao's novels, it's a big treasure trove, all kinds of copyrights are operated, not to mention one or two hundred billion. ”
"That's why I said I wanted to work with him."
Qian Qiang's right hand holding the cigar clicked a few times in the air, and then said: "When he holds a press conference, you accompany me to the field to support him and probe his tone." ”
"For the sequel to Painted Skin?" Fang Yi chuckled, obviously understanding what her husband meant.
"Painted Skin" is such a hit, and the sequel is not much worse. With such a large piece of fragrant and delicious cake, there is no reason why Huaxia Star should not take a bite.
There is a chance to bite, and there is no opportunity to create an opportunity to bite!
……
"At this time, the people at TB TV must have received the news that ATV was acquired by me, right? I don't know how they reacted. Standing at the top of the ATV building, looking downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dense crowd and the endless flow of cars, Stephen Zhao suddenly gave birth to a heroic feeling that would be overwhelming and look at the mountains.
ATV, it's finally in his hands!
He Zhao Xingchi finally has a TV station of his own!
ATV's market capitalization is not high, it cost less than 4 billion to get 100% of the shares, and many companies have a stronger market value than ATV. But ATV is a TV station, and it is the existence that has the right to speak, which is destined to make its influence extraordinary, which is not comparable to ordinary companies. Even those giant bull companies with a market value of more than 10 billion or 100 billion yuan can't compare to ATV in the eyes of ordinary people.
The giant bull company with a market value of more than 10 billion or 100 billion yuan is not its own, and it is not in contact with it every day, so it is naturally not impressed, and it is also surprised when it is said, and then it returns to calm.
The TV station is different, you have to watch it every day, and you can't be impressed if you don't want to.
"I don't know how the people at TB TV will react, but I know that we have received a mess, and we will be nerve-wracking in the future." Behind Zhao Xingchi, Qian Minli, who was sorting out the documents, complained.
Knock knock knock......
There was a knock on the office door.
Stephen Zhao called "come in", Wang Xuecheng pushed the door from the outside and walked in, followed by several senior executives of ATV, including the executive chairman, general manager, department manager, production director and so on.
Wang Xuecheng's face was ugly, and several executives had different expressions, some calm, some cold, and some uneasy, but none of them had surprise on their faces.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Xingchi raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking sneer, he didn't have to guess to know that these guys were here to resign.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished asking the question, several people looked at each other, and Huang Hua, the executive chairman, stood up and said, "Mr. Zhao, we are here to resign!" (To be continued......)
