Chapter 241: The TV Station Dilemma

However, this thought only flashed in his mind once, and then he was denied by Xu Guanwu. Liu Luanxiong is definitely a wolf cub who can't be raised, and recruited him into the company, but I am afraid that before he can make much money for the company, he will directly sell Xu Guanwu to outsiders.

Although Liu Luanxiong is also a native of Chaozhou, he has been educated in the West since he was a child, and his local concept is not so important. In the past, the Teochew merchants were all united, and everyone made money together, and gradually drove the British-funded foreign companies out of Hong Kong. But Liu Luanxiong likes to attack his fellow villagers the most, and he is a dead hand, whether it is Li Zhaoji or Feng Bingfen, they have been murdered and suffered heavy losses.

Xu Guanwu thinks that he is not as good as shopping mall veterans like Li Zhaoji and Feng Bingfen, so he knows that he can't suppress Liu Luanxiong, a poisonous dragon, so he dispelled the idea of recruiting him. However, he also knew that Liu Luanxiong was a business wizard, and he could take precautions before he rose.

"Mr. Liu, Ling Gongzi is really a great talent." Xu Guanwu made up his mind in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Mr. Xu is really wrong. Luan Xiong, don't come over to Mr. Xiexie Xu. Liu Yanrong said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiexie Xu." Liu Luanxiong stepped forward and saluted reluctantly. He considered himself Western-educated, and he hated this kind of red tape the most, and in his opinion it should have been swept into the pile of old papers.

And he thinks he is a business wizard, with a unique vision, and his heart is higher than the sky, and he looks down on these rich businessmen here, thinking that they just started by relying on their ancestors. If he was given the same conditions, he would be much more capable than these old coffins.

Xu Guanwu saw the reluctance on his face, and couldn't help but smile more and more happily. "First meeting. I didn't have any gifts. I had to send a red envelope, please don't be surprised. Xu Guanwu said, took out a red envelope and handed it over.

Liu Luanxiong's face suddenly turned purple, he is in his twenties, and he is no longer a child, how can there be any reason to meet and give red envelopes?

"He's clearly teasing himself!" Liu Luanxiong couldn't help but look at Xu Guanwu with annoyance.

Liu Yanrong was also stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile, "Luanxiong, since Mr. Xu gave it to you." You just take it quickly. ”

Liu Luanxiong listened to his father's words, and couldn't help but glance at him depressedly, "People are playing tricks on your son, why don't you know to say a word for me?" ”

But Liu Yanrong also threw a look over and motioned him to quickly accept the red envelope.

Liu Luanxiong was helpless, so he had to take the red envelope.

"Luan Xiong, why don't you know what to say xiexie?" Liu Yanrong scolded again.

Liu Luanxiong's brows furrowed, "Mr. Xiexie Xu." He shouted in a long voice.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Xu Guanwu smiled and sat down again.

There is Xu Guanwu as an example. Others also hurriedly took out red envelopes.

Liu Luanxiong had no choice but to thank him again and again, after the incident. The whole face turned red into shrimp.

……

Seeing Liu Luanxiong looking depressed and dying, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but snicker.

"Ah Wu, why are you bothering to fix him like this? He's in his twenties, and he's not a kid anymore. How can there be any reason to give New Year's money? Zhao Yazhi asked.

"You don't know, this kid is a villain, if you don't beat his arrogance now, you may do something angry in the future." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said.

"You're going to talk nonsense, I think he's sven, how can he be as bad as you say?" Zhao Yazhi didn't believe it.

"If he had a fleshy face and looked like a bad guy, not so many people would have been deceived." Xu Guanwu said again.

……

"Dad, what's the origin of that surname Xu? You were clearly playing tricks on me just now. After Liu Luanxiong left with his father, he said angrily.

"He is the boss of Xu Brothers Pictures, the Xu Guanwu who invested in making movies in the United States." Liu Yanrong said with a calm face.

"Xu Guanwu?! That's him! Liu Luanxiong nodded, "No matter how rich he is, he can't control our heads, so why be polite to him?" ”

"Confused, he has a close relationship with Mr. Shen Bi of HSBC. Our company is about to expand its operations recently and is about to apply for a loan from HSBC. What if he intervenes halfway and messes up our business? Liu Yanrong glared at him and said, "Luan Xiong, I told you a long time ago that you must endure if you want to do great things." Hide your minions, wait for the opportunity, and if you don't make a move, you will be able to defeat the enemy as soon as you make a move. ”

"I remember, Dad." Liu Luanxiong nodded.

……

After the banquet, Li Jiacheng originally wanted to invite Xu Guanwu and his wife to the family banquet another day to talk in detail about the Sancheng stock. That incident was like a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well every day if he didn't solve it.

But Xu Guanwu has nothing to talk about with Li Jiacheng, his meaning has been made clear before, as for whether to believe or not to believe, it is Li Jiacheng's own business. It is impossible for Xu Guanwu to sell the swallowed Sancheng shares for the sake of Li Jiacheng's heart.

Returning home with Zhao Yazhi, Xu Guanwu wanted to take advantage of the annual leave to lie down on the sofa and watch TV. Unexpectedly, as soon as I changed into slippers, I heard the sound of the phone.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, there were not many people who knew that he had a phone at home, except for his own family, there were several senior executives of the company. Calling now, who will it be, what will happen?

Zhao Yazhi thought a little more, lest the Ma brothers call to harass her again, so she couldn't help but look at Xu Guanwu as if asking for help, and she didn't dare to answer the phone.

Xu Guanwu saw that his wife was scared like this, and he became more and more determined to eradicate the Ma brothers. He smiled at Zhao Yazhi, then walked over to answer the phone.

"Hey, it's me, when, is it? Okay, I'll definitely participate. Xu Guanwu nodded with a smile as he spoke, and after a while, he hung up the phone with a smile.

"Ah Wu, who called, look at how happy you look." Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"It was a call from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, inviting us to participate in the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"The Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency is holding a Lantern Festival, and Weishenme wants to invite us to participate?" Zhao Yazhi frowned and said, "Ah Wu." I don't think it's better to go. Too close to them. Not very haode for us. ”

"It's okay, it's just going to a banquet, what else can I get into trouble? In addition, other wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong also participated, and government departments also participated. Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "If something really happens and everyone suffers together, it is impossible to deal with just me." ”

Zhao Yazhi frowned. "What if someone is going to target you, isn't that an excuse for someone else?"

"If someone really wants to target me, even if I don't do anything, I'll be picked out a lot of faults." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Besides, even Mr. Huo Yingdong is good to stay in Hong Kong, and I just attended a banquet, which can be regarded as a big event." Don't be too suspicious. ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yazhi saw that no matter how she persuaded her, Xu Guanwu couldn't listen to it, so she couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily. Ran into the room and sulked.

Seeing this, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sigh, thinking about how many Hong Kong people regretted it in later generations. I didn't have a good relationship with the mainland at the beginning. Now that we have the hope of establishing good relations with the hinterland, we naturally have to firmly grasp the opportunity, and when the time comes for reform and opening up to enter the hinterland, it will be a golden lump if we go down with a casual hoe.

Xu Guanwu couldn't explain this matter carefully to his wife, if he told her that in a few decades, the mainland would become Shijie's second largest economy, the largest creditor of the United States, and the engine of Shijie's economy. Hong Kong people have been reduced from Hong Kong businessmen to Hong Kong can, and mainlanders have changed from cousins and cousins to local tyrants...... She'd definitely say she had a broken skull.

……

couldn't explain it, and couldn't explain it, Xu Guanwu had to turn on the TV and watch TV to relieve his boredom.

Flipping to Jiayi TV, it was still the 1976 New Year Concert of the stars of Yisheng. After Jiayi TV spent 1 million to buy the TV broadcast rights of this concert, it was broadcast over and over again. Xu Guanwu estimates that in just a few days, it has been screened eight or nine times.

Xu Guanwu felt that Jiayi TV really had the ruthlessness to catch the toad and snatch out the brain platinum, and insisted on squeezing out the screening value of this concert by repeating the screening over and over again to make up for his huge loss of one million.

This aspect also shows the lack of programs on Jiayi TV, and there have been no programs that can be done since its establishment for more than half a year, and the artists are also very pitiful.

At the beginning of the show, it also learned from Xu Guanwu to poach some actors from Shaw Brothers Studios, but unfortunately the famous ones have long been firmly controlled by Shaw Brothers, and the second- and third-tier movie actors have been dug up, and their fame is not as high as that of the TV artists in the wireless and beautiful stations. invested in a few TV series, but the ratings were poor.

It was hard to grab the broadcast rights of this Spring Festival concert, and it was grandly screened on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and sure enough, the ratings suddenly surpassed the two TV stations of Wireless and Li, and for the first time, they were praised for doing a good job and won the good intentions of the opening.

But it's just that this concert is good, and when it comes back to the original TV series the next day, hew! Viewership has plummeted again.

Although there were no professional ratings statistics in the seventies, TV stations were not without ratings reports. After all, if you sell advertising slots to see the ratings, if the program is done well, there are more letters from the audience, and there are more hotlines, the ratings will naturally be optimistic, and the advertisements can also be sold a little more expensive.

And if the program does poorly, there will naturally be more calls to complain, and there will be more letters of criticism from the audience, and the newspaper will publish critical articles, then the advertisements will naturally be sold cheaper.

Jiayi TV also saw the importance of producing good programs, so it is rumored to be buying the hit drama series "Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu" from Taiwan TV.

Xu Guanwu always felt that Jiayi TV should not focus on the TV drama market, after all, Hong Kong already has Wireless and Li, and both TV stations are competing for hegemony in the field of TV dramas.

They have been established for many years, and the artists have been trained, and they are familiar with filming TV series, and the cost can be controlled relatively well.

And Jiayi, you want an artist without an artist, you have to have experience without experience, everything has to start from scratch. It's like a newborn baby who gets involved in a fight between two adults and will be trampled to death if you're not careful.

Therefore, Xu Guanwu still thinks that it is more promising to engage in entertainment programs, especially variety shows like "I Guess I Guess I Guess", "Luyu Has an Appointment", and "Happy Camp".

The biggest feature of this kind of variety show is that the cost is low, the set can be reused many, many times, and the guests can also choose a relatively cheap variety show.

Shrimp?! You say there are no variety shows in Hong Kong now?! Please let those second- and third-tier actors of Shaw Brothers, and the artists under the superstar manager company, all be on TV shows for promotion. Hong Kong produces hundreds of movies every year, and a film crew comes to promote it every week.

And to do a variety show, you only need two or three hosts, of course, you are willing to put two beautiful cuties as a human flesh set board, I believe the audience will not object. And to shoot a TV series, there are at least a dozen artists needed, and a large number of costumes and props must be prepared...... Compared with filming TV series, doing variety shows is really cheap and good.

However, it is obvious that He George did not see the value of variety shows, and still wanted to defeat Wireless and Li in the field of TV dramas. (To be continued......)
