Chapter 541 TVB Canada
Before rushing to find Huang Xizhao, Xu Guanwu invited Miss Liang Shuyi first.
"I guessed you'd want to find me, Stanley." As soon as she entered the door, Miss Leung said with a smile.
"Oh!? I'd like to hear it, why do you think that? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard it.
"You must have come to me because of the acquisition of Leigh's TV station." Liang Shuyi said with a smile.
"Sure enough, Bing Xue is smart." Xu Guanwu nodded, "What do you think about this?" ”
"All I can say is that the Australian consortium made a mistake this time." Liang Shuyi shook her head and said, "They shouldn't have kicked Huang Xizhao away." Huang Xizhao has worked in Li's TV station for many years and has laid a very good foundation, and he is the soul of Li's TV station. Without him, the combat effectiveness of Li's TV station will be attenuated by at least fifty percent, and it will be impossible to succeed in the future. ”
"Well, it seems that you admire Manager Huang very much." Xu Guanwu smiled.
"Yes, what he said was also my senior, and when he hosted Li's TV station, it did have a certain impact on our TVB." Liang Shuyi smiled.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "I also know that he is a talented ......."
"Mr. Xu has the intention of soliciting?" Liang Shuyi saw that Xu Guanwu looked unsatisfied, so she couldn't help but smile and said.
"What do you think, should you recruit him into the company?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"From my personal standpoint, of course I don't want him to join the company, because then I will have one more person to compete." Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "But if you look at it from the company's standpoint." For the sake of the company's future development. I still hope that the company can recruit more talent. ”
"Huh. You're pretty honest. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry, even if you turn back to TVB and hand it over to Huang Xizhao to take care of, I will compensate you with other positions." ”
"I know the truth, so I'm not worried." Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "In fact, now that TVB is dominant in Hong Kong, it is almost the same who will be the manager." To be honest, if possible, I'd rather be the manager of Jiayi or Li's TV station. This makes it more challenging. ”
"I know you're empathetic." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Okay, now accompany me to invite Huang Xizhao, okay?" ”
"Okay, but aren't you being too cruel to me by doing this?" Liang Shuyi tilted her head and asked, then smiled again, "Just kidding, let's go." ”
……
By the time Hui Kwan Wu and Leung Shuk Yee found Wong Suk-chiu, he was selecting a factory in an industrial area in the New Territories. It seems that he has really quit the entertainment industry and devoted himself to the cause of industrial prosperity.
Huang Xizhao saw Xu Guanwu. I can't help but feel a little ashamed. Before he was the manager of Li's TV station, although the ratings of that TV station were poor, and the market value was only two or three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, but during his administration, he was once on an equal footing with TVB, so when facing Xu Guanwu, he finally had a little confidence in his heart.
But now he has been kicked by the TV station, and Xu Guanwu's net worth has grown again. When a frustrated person meets a proud person, he is naturally a little ashamed.
"Mr. Xu, Miss Liang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How did you end up here? Although his face was hot and uncomfortable, Huang Xizhao still forced himself to say hello.
"For you, of course." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "What are you doing, choosing a factory?!" Are you really planning to launch the entertainment industry from now on? ”
"Even if I don't return, what can I do, I have been dismissed." Huang Xizhao smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, I made a little money before, and I just used this money to open a factory, and I can't stand up for myself and starve to death, so I can count it as old and have something to rely on." ”
"Why are you so pessimistic, Li's dismissal is that they don't know the goods, what can a bunch of Aussies be short-sighted." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Just come to our wireless TV station." ”
"Forget it, TVB is now at the helm of Mr. Li Xiaohe, and Miss Leung Shuyi will take over in the future. What can I do when I go? Huang Xizhao waved his hand and said, "Besides, Miss Liang Shuyi has been waiting for so many years, do I still have to compete for a seat with other girls when I am old?" ”
"Since Miss Leung Shuyi is willing to accompany me today, she naturally won't mind." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Besides, our Xu Group is so big, and there is a place to arrange her, so you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
"Forget it, I'm old now, I just want to open a factory to make some money, and then my family immigrates to Canada. Hong Kong is a sad place, I don't want to stay longer. Huang Xizhao waved his hand.
"You're really not going to think about it again?" When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but ask depressedly, "The salary can be negotiated, and you also want to earn enough money to immigrate as soon as possible." But there are profits and losses in opening a factory. ”
"Don't think about it anymore, I don't want to fight with Miss Leung, and I don't want to stay in Hong Kong for a long time. Now I just want to open a small business and make money. Huang Xizhao shook his head and said, seeing that he looked like he was in a state of flux, it seemed that he would not consider Xu Guanwu's proposal anymore.
Xu Guanwu was stunned, he didn't expect that this dismissal by Li would hit Huang Xizhao so hard. But if you think about it, it's true, Huang Xizhao was ordered to take the position at the most difficult time for Li's TV station, and it was he who tried his best to support it, so that Li's TV station persisted for so many years, it can be said that in Li's TV station, Huang Xizhao poured all his efforts.
But now the company is said to be sold, and he has worked hard to support the company, but he has fallen into the fate of being swept away.
Xu Guanwu sighed, it was really regrettable that he couldn't imagine that a hero would end up like this. "Is there really no other way?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning and thinking, at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he smiled at Huang Xizhao, "Mr. Huang, do you really plan to go back and immigrate to Canada?" ”
"Yes, the air and environment in Canada are good. And my son is already going to school over there. If you go back, you have to stay there and work. Huang Xizhao nodded.
"In that case. Are you interested in being the manager of TVB's Canadian branch? Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"What?!" Huang Xizhao couldn't help but be taken aback, "Mr. Xu, as far as I know, TVB does not have a branch in Canada." ”
"I know that if you go, you will have it." Xu Guanwu smiled.
Huang Xizhao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It turned out that I wanted to be a cow for clearing wasteland." ”
"Would you like to do it?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"Yes! Since Mr. Xu has taken a fancy to my old bones, I will push and push some more toasts and refuse to eat and drink. Huang Xizhao smiled and said. However, Canada's population is not large, and the number of Chinese is even smaller, and even if the TV station is built, it may not make money. ”
"Don't worry, I know that." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, although many Hong Kong people chose to immigrate to Canada during the Hong Kong explosion in the 60s, and then many Hong Kong people immigrated one after another in the 80s, but the total number of Chinese in Canada is not more than one million, and because of the vast territory of Canada, these millions of people are very widely dispersed. Not good for TV broadcasting at all. Therefore, opening a TVB branch in Canada is actually a complete act of burning money.
However, Xu Guanwuzhi is not with Canada. Instead, they want to use Canada as a springboard to turn back into the U.S. cable TV market. There can be two or three million Chinese in the United States.
If TVB still wants to become bigger and stronger, then overseas development is an inevitable choice. Now that Huang Xizhao wants to immigrate to Canada, it is better for him to prepare for the establishment of a TVB branch there. With Huang Xizhao's ability, Xu Guanwu believes that he will handle this matter properly.
"Actually, Canada is just a side dish, and what I really want is the American market." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "After the Canadian branch has achieved certain results, I want to expand my business to the whole of North America, then Europe, then Southeast Asia, and finally South America and Australia." Make TVB the largest Chinese-language TV station in the world. ”
"Mr. Xu's appetite is really not small." After hearing this, Huang Xizhao couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.
Liang Shuyi also looked at Xu Guanwu in surprise, "Stanley, you hide yourself so deeply, I have never heard you talk about these words." ”
"Actually, I was also influenced by an American friend." Xu Guanwu smiled and said that the reason why he wanted to expand the TVB business to the whole world was actually influenced by Lei Shidong.
Lei Shidong's acquisition of Marvel TV gave him a lot of inspiration. In the United States, television has the energy to call for wind and rain, such as the right-leaning Fox television network, and the center-left CNN, both of which have a wide influence in the United States. They can influence the political, economic, cultural, and other aspects of the United States, and even influence the future direction of the world.
Although Xu Guanwu does not have the same ambition as Carver in "007: Tomorrow's Empire", he plans to make himself a god and become the uncrowned king with the help of media all over the world, but he also wants to establish his influence in the world.
Lei Shidongneng has grown from the owner of an automobile chain to the second largest media tycoon in the United States; Murdoch was able to turn his family's newspaper business into the world's largest media outlet...... Xu Guanwu naturally has his own ideas.
What's more, doing business is to sail against the current, if you don't advance or retreat, if TVB doesn't develop outward and stay in Hong Kong, then even if you drive out all other TV stations, it will only be a business for millions of people at the end.
But if you can get out of the world and occupy the Chinese TV market in North America, South America, Southeast Asia, Europe and other countries, then TVB can have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers, and then TVB will affect one-sixty percent of the world's population, and its influence is naturally very amazing.
In addition, getting out of the world is also beneficial to the future development of TVB, because with the gradual rise of China, the people of all countries in the world also need to understand a new China through the right channels. Although Xu Guanwu is not talented, he also hopes to build TVB into a position to promote Chinese culture, and show China's style to the whole world through the programs produced by TVB. This is Xu Guanwu's selfishness, in fact, it makes him happier than making money.
Of course, if TVB can broadcast in the mainland through his relationship, it will be a happy event for him, but I'm afraid it will not be easy to operate. This is also one of the directions of Xu Guanwu's future efforts.
Huang Xizhao agreed to help Xu Guanwu go to Canada to open a branch, so naturally there is no need to look at this factory anymore. The group returned to Hong Kong by car, and then began to study the possibility of opening a Chinese-language television station in Canada.
In fact, Canada is still very welcoming to foreign investment, because the place is really vast and sparsely populated, so foreign investment is urgently needed to improve the local economy and solve the pressure on the local labor force. Therefore, the attraction of foreign capital is also relatively large, and Hong Kong people can obtain the qualification to immigrate to Canada as long as they invest 150,000 to 250,000 Canadian dollars. Moreover, Chinese people can also invest in various businesses in Canada without restrictions from the provincial government. This is very good news for Xu Guanwu.
Moreover, Canada is sparsely populated, and racial contradictions are not as acute as those in the United States, so Chinese people are more comfortable in Canada, so Canada has always been the best choice for Hong Kong immigrants.
After some understanding, everyone was full of confidence in opening a TVB branch in Canada, and then Huang Xizhao began to immigrate to Canada and began to open the first Chinese TV channel in the Chinese community of Vancouver, Canada. (To be continued......)
