"Heavy money to acquire ATV, who is Stephen Zhao?
Asia Television Station, which was established in 1960, has been losing money for a long time. Recently, when the major shareholder Gao Zhenhua and other internal shareholders were in a lot of noise over equity disputes, the news that had been rumored for a long time suddenly broke was confirmed, and the well-known mainland writer Stephen Zhao successfully acquired ATV and became the new owner of ATV. It is reported that with the entry of Zhao Xingchi, many senior executives such as Executive Chairman Huang Hua, General Manager Chen Xiang, and General Manager of Finance and Personnel Administration Liang Guoyu have resigned.
Who is Stephen Zhao, no one knew three and a half years ago, but now, Stephen Zhao is known to everyone, and no one knows it.
Zhao Xingchi, 26 years old this year, is too young, a native of Changnan City, Xijiang Province, on the mainland, and is a famous city of heroes. In 2009, Zhao Xingchi was admitted to Xijiang Provincial University of Finance and Economics and graduated in 2013.
After graduating in 2013, Stephen Zhao began literary creation, and his first historical novel "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" signed a publishing contract with the Affiliated Publishing House of Xijiang University of Finance and Economics. It is reported that there are people in the publishing house affiliated to the University of Finance who abused their power for personal gain. Thinking of the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, he took "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" as his own. After that, Zhao Xingchi terminated the contract with the Affiliated Publishing House of Caida and invested in Silian Publishing House, one of the largest publishing houses in China, and since then it has been out of control, and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has achieved a sales miracle of more than 500,000 copies in two weeks in the second half of that year.

β¦β¦
The media is overwhelming. makes Stephen Zhao's appearance rate higher than that of the chief executive of Xiangjiang, and also completes other emperor superstars. Some watched coldly, some congratulated, and some sneered and said that they were not optimistic.
And on the Internet, whether it is the network on the Xiangjiang side or the Internet in the mainland, there is also a lot of discussion about this matter.
On the mainland Internet, netizens' opinions are also divided into three types, support, neutrality, and opposition. But relatively speaking, it is mostly supportive.
"Has the domineering star finally rushed out of the country and walked towards the sea of stars?"
"Xing Ye is a bug in the Chinese entertainment industry, he can do everything, he can do it beautifully, although ATV is difficult to return and is about to fall, but I believe that under the skill of Xing Ye. There will be dead wood in spring. β
"With the overlord of TB TV, can ATV still do anything? Master Xing. It's really a hole that can't be filled, so you have to take it easy. β
On the Internet of Xiangjiang, the emotions of netizens are much more complicated, with less optimistic support, more pessimistic and neutral, and more strong opposition.
"Mainlanders are rough. We don't welcome you in Hong Kong! β
"What bullshit star master, star shit is almost the same. ATV is our ATV and strongly opposes selling to mainlanders. β
"The Gao family is a traitor! Gao Zhenhua is the biggest traitor! β
β¦β¦
Two adjacent places, two completely different mainstream voices, if they don't meet together, they will be fine. But there are masters of circumventing the wall, where are there those who do not meet.
Soon, the two voices collided violently, and then an argument ensued.
Xiangjiang netizens said that mainlanders were rough, and mainland netizens responded that Jiang Can was tricked to death; Xiangjiang netizens said that ATV is the ATV of Xiangjiang and cannot be handed over to the mainlanders, and the mainland netizens said that the people of Xiangjiang are all waste, and an ATV is not good, and we mainlanders have to save it, which is really a scumbag; Xiangjiang netizens scolded the mainlanders for their low quality, and mainland netizens responded that sluts are hypocritical and underdrawn......
The network connects to reality, and soon, the sound of this quarrel spreads to real life, is reported by major media, and then interpreted.
Some media have called on both sides to be calm and look at the issue rationally.
Some media decided to speak, and it was Xiangjiang who said that they were not optimistic that Stephen Zhao would be able to manage ATV well, and ATV was still best managed by Xiangjiang locals; It is said that Stephen Zhao is talented and often has amazing moves, maybe he can pull ATV back from the shadow of bankruptcy and turn losses into profits, and then say that this is to promote a deeper understanding and cultural reintegration between the two places.
Some media also expressed their appreciation and interpreted the significance of Stephen Zhao's acquisition of ATV from different perspectives.
β¦β¦
On December 21, the winter solstice of the lunar calendar, Stephen Zhao held the first press conference after joining ATV in the headquarters building of ATV, and officially appeared to the outside world.
Zhao Xingchi saw the media reports and interpretations, as well as the discussions and quarrels of netizens, but he didn't say anything, just silently collected their opinions, which helped him better manage ATV.
On this day, the weather in Xiangjiang was cloudy and sunny, which was a good weather for travel.
Three hours before the press conference, the road outside the ATV headquarters building became very congested, and cars came one after another, including invited guests and reporters, as well as uninvited reporters and idlers. In addition, many fans of Stephen Zhao rushed over to cheer, fans of ATV rushed over to cast complicated glances, passers-by watched the excitement curiously, and at the same time, there were also demonstrators who shouted slogans such as "mainlanders are rough" and "ATV is the ATV of Xiangjiang".
Except for a very small number of demonstrators who genuinely care about ATV, the vast majority of them oppose it out of opposition to the mainlanders.
Hundreds of years of colonial rule have made many Xiangjiang people forget their skin color, their bloodline, and their souls, they will be happy to be ruled by the colonists, but as long as they are a little better than their compatriots in the past, they will be stimulated, and then explode, erect their hair and eyes, glaring angrily, and even do not hesitate to speak ill of each other, fists and feet.
Education, although it is not brainwashing, but the three views established under different education are a hundred times more powerful than brainwashing!
However, no one paid any attention to the demonstrators.
In addition to filming them wildly before entering, the media present at the scene left them and walked quickly into ATV's headquarters building with spears and cannons.
Outside the building, security personnel stood by the crowd and the demonstrators.
Bang Bang Bang ......
The press conference began, Gu Taikang walked on the right, half a position behind Zhao Xingchi, accompanied Zhao Xingchi, Han Minzhong, Qian Minli, Wang Xuecheng and others to the front desk, hundreds of reporters and photographers who had already returned to their positions immediately pressed the shutter and shot at them from all angles, and the flickering white light made the entire press conference several times brighter.
"Hey, today's emcee is actually Gu Taikang, doesn't it mean that Gu Taikang's contract has expired, and ATV hasn't renewed his contract?"
"Stephen Zhao's movements are so fast, he took down Gu Taikang so quickly. Seeing Gu Taikang's smiling face, he became the emcee of the press conference again today, obviously reused by Zhao Xingchi, I don't know if Lu Dao's salary has increased or his position has been promoted? Or is there any other benefit? β
"Who is the person behind Stephen Zhao's girlfriend? Damn, it turned out to be Wang Xuecheng, he is developed. β
"This Wang Xuecheng is very powerful, he was squeezed away from ATV, but he turned around and returned to ATV with the help of Stephen Zhao's strength. Looking at it like this, his position has been significantly improved, and I don't know whether Lu Dao is the director of the production resources department or was directly promoted by Stephen Zhao to the deputy general manager of ATV. β
β¦β¦
The reporters' eyes flashed, guessing the content of the press conference and the personnel changes within ATV from the clues at the scene. This is the ability of experienced journalists, because only in this way can they send out the informative reports as soon as possible and grab the exclusive ones for the company.
On the other side of the press group were invited guests, including people from the entertainment industry, business people, politicians, local celebrities in Hong Kong, and celebrities from the mainland.
is no more noisy than the group of reporters, and the guests seem to be much more gentle, but the eyes that look at Zhao Xingchi and others are full of curiosity and inquiry.
"Welcome, I'm Gu Taikang......"
Standing behind the microphone, Gu Taikang began to speak, officially starting today's press conference, he first introduced the rules and main content of the press conference, and then said: "Next, welcome the new chairman of ATV, Mr. Zhao Xingchi, to speak and answer your questions, thank you!" β
In the midst of applause, Stephen Zhao, dressed in casual clothes, walked to the center of the stage, holding a microphone in his hand.
Stephen Zhao introduced the beginning and end of the acquisition of ATV and some internal personnel arrangements, and then focused on explaining his thoughts on ATV's future strategic positioning.
In the personnel arrangement, Han Minzhong took on the burden of the executive chairman of ATV, and Qian Minli became the general manager of finance and personnel administration. On the contrary, they were surprised by the arrangement of Gu Taikang and Wang Xuecheng, one salary was increased by half, the annual salary was as high as 1.5 million, and he was promoted to the producer of the program department; One soared into the sky, and the director of the program department sat in the position of deputy general manager of the company. I have to say that the two have really been "reused".
ββ¦β¦ ATV's positioning is youth and fashion, and the core concept is happiness, I hope to create a happy ATV, and build ATV into the most vibrant TV entertainment brand in Xiangjiang and even the whole of China......"
Zhao Xingchi walked back and forth on the stage, constantly gesturing, sometimes waving his palms and falling, sometimes raising his hands, and sometimes clenching his fists, majestic and powerful. With his impassioned tone, flying looks, and bright eyes, his aura became very powerful, and the confident spirit infected everyone present: "No matter what kind of people think of me, what kind of attitude they have towards my acquisition of ATV, my attitude is very resolute, I just want to make ATV my ideal TV station." What I want to say is: I come, I see, I conquer! Thank you! (To be continued......)
