During the Spring Festival, Shaw Brothers lost miserably, and Jiayi TV held a New Year Gala, and the ratings also fell to the bottom.

At the beginning of the 80s, for Shaw Brothers, it can be described as a moment of bad luck and fell to the bottom.

On the contrary, Hui's and Golden Harvest have made great progress, especially Hui's has won the box office championship year after year, last year's "A Scheme" box office exceeded 10 million, and this year's Hui Brothers' "The Rich World" also grossed more than 10 million, which is really the envy of many Hong Kong filmmakers.

After entering the 80s, Xu Guanwu still continued to make trouble in the Hong Kong stock market, because he was not involved in the real economy such as manufacturing, so the cash flow in his hands was very huge, and he could basically speculate on any stock, which also made him a stock market predator like Soros hedge fund.

The Hong Kong stock market rose and fell under his speculation, as if he had changed malaria, and he left any stock as soon as he dipped it, and closed it with one or two achievements at a super high, even if someone wanted to mobilize funds and hedge with him, there was not enough time to operate. In this way, although the return is not too high, it avoids a lot of risks, and at the same time, it keeps the funds in hand flowing at all times.

In addition to calling for wind and rain in the stock market, Xu Guanwu also sold most of the properties under his name, and cashed out a large amount of cash in this way. As a major shareholder of Cheung Kong Asset, Hutchison Whampoa, Hopewell Land and Henderson Land, he has a share to subscribe for in advance before each new property is put on sale.

This is not only the treatment that the company's major shareholders should receive, but also the practice of real estate developers taking the opportunity to speculate on real estate. After many properties are hoarded by these large owners, the prices of other properties will naturally be speculated, which also allows real estate developers to make more money. At the same time, these preferential treatment are given to major shareholders. Make them more sympathetic to the company's decision. Naturally, it also made the chairman's position more secure.

Of course, those ordinary citizens of Hong Kong are miserable. After the price of the house was inflated, it became a problem to buy a house, so you had to borrow from the bank to make a down payment. The bank not only lends money to the real estate company to build a house, but also lends money to the people to buy a house, and it is natural that they are happy to make money at both ends.

Because Xu Guanwu is the majority shareholder of the four major real estate companies, he has hoarded a large number of properties. These houses were originally part of his investment, because Xu Guanwu knew that Hong Kong was worth every inch of land, and the price would definitely skyrocket in the future, so he was not soft at all when buying a house. Often, the whole building is bought by him.

Now he knows that the Sino-British Hong Kong negotiations are about to be held, and Hong Kong's housing prices will fall sharply in the future, so he is now quietly selling the property under his name. Although he has a lot of properties in his name, he has quietly sold them in batches, and it is expected that all the properties will be sold out within a year. And the income obtained is several times that of the previous purchase, which can be described as a big profit and a special profit. All the cash obtained was invested in the financial market and continued to cause trouble.

……

A few days after the Spring Festival, there was a huge change on Li's TV station, and the parent company Li's voice sold 50% of its shares to an Australian consortium to cash out to make up for the losses caused by the previous investment.

Leigh's television station changed hands, shocking the citizens of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is dominated by TVB. Therefore, the presence of the two TV stations of Lidi and Jiayi has always been very weak. In the past two years, because of the frequent financial crises of the parent company, the TV station has often allocated funds from its subsidiaries to save the emergency. It made Leigh's TV station a big loss. Although there are outstanding TV people like Xu Xiaoming, Mai Dangxiong, and Li Zhaoxiong, the quality of TV programs is still gradually declining, so the ratings have been sluggish.

Although it cooperated with TVB to form an alliance the year before last, halfway through the cooperation, because it was really unable to draw out funds, the so-called cooperation agreement also existed in name only. Last year, there were only about ten TV dramas filmed by Li's TV station, and the rest of the time they broadcast old dramas from before, or other self-made programs to make up for the number.

In comparison, TVB filmed more than 30 TV dramas last year, and five of them were long dramas with 100 episodes. Although Jiayi TV also has various difficulties, it has also filmed more than 20 TV series. In comparison, the drama output of Li's TV station can be described as "pitiful".

In addition to the small production of episodes, the cost is also pitiful. TVB now costs about 30,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode of TV dramas, like some big-name and important dramas, the cost is about 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. The cost is high, the natural picture of the TV series is better, the costumes are more beautiful, and the makeup of the actors is more exquisite. Everything can be seen in the details.

The average cost of Li's TV TV series is only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and even if it is the highlight "Silkworm Transformation", which claims to be created by all the actors in Taiwan, the cost does not exceed 25,000 Hong Kong dollars. The cost is twice as bad as TVB's TV series, although the storyline of "Silkworm Transformation" has ups and downs, and the starring Xu Shaoqiang is also quite hardworking, but it is a pity that no matter the set, costumes, props, sound, stunts, etc., are unsatisfactory.

Although it is claimed to be the sincere work of Li's TV station, the quality is only equivalent to TVB's ordinary martial arts TV series. Even if the audience endures those unsatisfactory hardware problems in order to watch the storyline, it is a pity that Xu Shaoqiang, the star of "Silkworm Transformation", was poached by Jiayi TV with a high salary when the TV series was halfway through.

The TV series "Silkworm Transformation" almost died halfway, and finally had to be replaced by another Xiaosheng Gu Guanzhong to replace Xu Shaoqiang as the hero Yun Feiyang. The difference in the appearance of the two is explained by Yun Feiyang's rebirth after cultivating the Heavenly Silkworm Gong. It's just a pity that although Gu Guanzhong is also handsome, he has a little less luck.

He succeeded Xu Shaoqiang in "Silkworm Transformation", and the ratings began to decline rapidly, and word of mouth began to plummet. People don't agree with him at all for playing the hero Yun Feiyang. So "Silkworm Transformation" had to end after filming more than a dozen episodes. Li's TV station also suffered heavy losses because of Xu Shaoqiang's job-hopping incident.

Xu Shaoqiang's job hopping is actually just a microcosm, in fact, last year, Jiayi TV poached many actors, directors, screenwriters, behind-the-scenes production, etc. from Li's TV station. The reason is that Li's TV station is short of money, so it has been unable to start filming a new TV series for a long time.

And the actor, the director. Screenwriter. Behind-the-scenes staff and more. They all have to work to get paid. However, because Li's TV station is not in place of funds, it has been unable to start filming new dramas for a long time, so everyone can only sit there and eat nothing. If you can't make money, it's not the most important thing, the key actors actually have a shelf life, and if they don't meet the public for a long time, and if they don't have high-quality works for a long time, then the actor's reputation will decline rapidly. That's the scariest thing about people.

So Jiayi TV saw that Zhun Li's TV station was in trouble, and immediately ran over and stepped on it several times. successively snatched away the talents of Li's TV station, and made Huang Xizhao, the manager of Li's TV station, slap the table angrily and scold his mother. But it is useless to regenerate qi, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and a penny is difficult for a hero. What if you don't have the funds in hand, no matter how ambitious you are?

Since Huang Xizhao took over as Li's TV station manager, he has also done his best to support it, and has successively filmed many good TV series such as "The Kindness of the Earth", "Crocodile Tears", "Hero Shen Shengyi", "Chameleon", etc., and has successively promoted outstanding TV talents such as Xu Xiaoming, Mai Dangxiong, Tu Yongxiong, and Li Zhaoxiong. also boldly formed an alliance with the old rival TVB. The vicious competition between the two TV stations was avoided. But it's a pity that the building is about to collapse, and it is still difficult for him to turn the tide alone.

A few days after the Chinese New Year. Leigh's parent company sold half of the shares of the TV station to an Australian consortium to cash out to make up for the losses caused by the previous investment.

After the Australian gang took over Li's TV station, it immediately began to carry out a purge operation. And Huang Xizhao, who was originally the manager, is naturally also on the list of purges.

After Huang Xizhao handed over all the work, he was immediately kicked out of the gang by the Australian gang. For his big brother to be treated like this, other employees of Li's TV station naturally complained.

Among them, Mak Dangxiong, who has the most hot temper, reacted the most, and his current status was originally because of Huang Xizhao's promotion, and now seeing that he was kicked off, Mak Dangxiong also decided to resign. In addition to repaying Huang Xizhao's promotion, Mak Dangxiong also knows the so-called son of heaven and a courtier. Since Huang Xizhao was invited away, it is naturally impossible for him, as Huang Xizhao's descendant, to be treated preferentially, since this is the case, it is better to leave.

What's more, Mak Dangxiong is also quite confident in his own strength, and Hong Kong films are now prosperous, he is confident that he can make a career in the film field.

When Mak Dangxiong left, he also pulled his team directly, such as screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan, Mak Dangxiong's younger brother Mak Dangjie, and director Pan Wenjie and so on. And their place was not Xu's, but to Jiahe.

Since Golden Harvest received investment from New Line Film Company, it has begun to aggressively recruit people. Although Mak Dangxiong is only a TV person, he has always been famous, such as the actor who was bold and reckless during filming and almost killed him. For example, the Hong Kong traffic jam competition that was caused by occupying the road and filming can be described as a bad and notorious deed.

Such a character naturally attracted the interest of Golden Harvest, so they secretly agreed on the song and reached a cooperation agreement early.

Although Mai Dangxiong received Xu Guanwu's invitation a long time ago, he knew that he would definitely be accepted to Xu's family, and the treatment would definitely be very generous. But it's a pity that Mak Dang Hung is not a man who is willing to live under others. In particular, there are many rules and regulations for Xu's capable people, so it is naturally difficult for a lawless person like him to adapt to Xu's disciplined environment.

In addition, Golden Harvest also agreed to fund to help him set up a company, so that he could leap from a wage earner to a boss, and Jiahe has now cooperated with New Line Film Company to open up the world line to Hollywood, and the development potential does not seem to be weaker than that of Xu's. Therefore, after careful consideration, Mai went to Golden Harvest, which had more favorable conditions.

When Xu Guanwu heard Mai Dangxiong throw at Jiahe, he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully. finally waited for Li's TV station to be replaced, and Mai Dangxiong was about to leave, but he didn't expect that people would go to Golden Harvest.

"This fucking X damn it! Am I so unwelcome? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scold.

Wu Siyuan in front, Xu Ke is like this, and now he is running out of Mai Dangxiong. I really don't understand what these people think. If you don't let Xu's company come to such a good company, you just go to a company like Golden Harvest.

"You deserve to be pitted." Xu Guanwu scolded fiercely. He knows what the so-called satellite company system of Jiahe is, it looks beautiful but it is actually a trap, and now he jumps in with his eyes closed, and he can't even spit out the bones when the time comes.

As for Huang Xizhao, the TV station manager of Li, who was kicked away, Xu Guanwu knew that he was a talent. Li's TV station was able to persist in that stormy environment, and Huang Xizhao deserved to take the lead. And Xu Guanwu also admires his vision very much. Mai Dangxiong only graduated from middle school, and Xu Xiaoming was only an actor before, but under his promotion, they all became excellent TV talents, which is really not a simple person.

So when Huang Xizhao had nowhere to go and wanted to go home to set up a factory, Xu Guanwu hurriedly rushed to it in person. (To be continued......)
