Hutchison.

Li Chaoren and a group of Hutchison executives were in a meeting, and his mood was obviously not very beautiful, and even a little bad. At the No. 8 Kwai Chung Container Terminal, his initial hope was to win a berth interest, that is, two to Modern Container and one to COSCO. I just don't know, the last berth is not working, it's a little sad!

However, at this time, about half of the foreign executives in the conference room were very happy in their hearts, and their faces even showed relief; It turned out that half of Hutchison Whampoa's capital was British-owned, and these foreign executives represented British interests.

In the hearts of these foreign executives, they hoped that Hutchison Whampoa would invest capital overseas or in the United Kingdom, and even pressured Li Chaoren to relocate. If it weren't for Li Chaoren's fear of too much influence, he would be the leading businessman in Xiangjiang, and if he took the lead, he would offend the mainland authorities, and it would be difficult to do business in the future.

However, this time, Hua COSCO defected, and the mainland invited Lin Zuhui to visit first, and he was behind, Li Chaoren was a little unbalanced for a while. Therefore, he decided to spread more of Hutchison Whampoa's capital overseas, reduce investment in the mainland, and make a tantrum.

Li Chaoren said: "Although we lost at Container Terminal 8 this time, we still account for 60% of the business of Kwai Chung Terminal; Moreover, the failure of this bid is not necessarily a good thing, if it really wins the bid of nearly 7 billion, Hutchison Whampoa's finances will be very burdened. ”

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Ma Shimin said seriously: "We have abundant funds and should actively invest in Europe and the United States. The remaining 43% of Husky Canada's shares, another shareholder is interested in selling, and we should have to buy it! There is also the telecommunications market in the UK, and we can also consider working with the British Space Agency, where we can invest a lot; There is also Australia's telecommunications industry, Watsons increasing its expansion into overseas retail, and Hutchison TV's ......"

Li Chaoren turned his heart and said: "Give me the plan, I will consider it one by one!" ”

All the British managers finally became happy, and they were even a little grateful to Lin Zuhui in their hearts. For a long time, Li Chaoren has been vacillating overseas and in the mainland and Hong Kong, betting on both sides, and Hong Kong and the mainland are even a little heavier; Now, with these things happening, it will inevitably lead to a tilt in the proportion of his overseas investment, which is a good thing for the whole Hutchison Whampoa, in the eyes of British managers.

.......

In early January, Lin Zuhui went to another city, and the Hong Kong government announced that it would allocate 1.22 million square feet of industrial land to Asia Satellite TV in Xiao Chi Sha, Tseung Kwan O, for the construction of ATV's Asia Television headquarters.

For a while, public opinion in Xiangjiang exploded, and ATV is going to surpass wireless!

The wireless headquarters is currently a leased Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay Cinema, with a total area of only about 700,000 square feet; Now, ATV has raised its headquarters to 1.22 million square feet, which is a big step over TVB.

This year, ATV released another good program, Music Bank, inviting all singers who released new records to play, which not only received the support of singers, but also received good ratings.

This music program is full of creativity, which has made the current serious "Golden Songs" have a great impact, and "Music Bank" has added a transparent selection mechanism, using record sales, audience selection and other links to score and rank singers' new records. These elements have beaten the programs of this era, whether it is entertainment or professionalism, they all win "Golden Songs".

It can be said that the only drawback now is that "Golden Song" has been established for so many years and has a certain authority; However, with the rise of "Music Bank", the authority of "Golden Songs" will gradually be challenged.

Very simply, "Music Bank" is a program that connects singers in Hong Kong online, and it also adds links such as audience selection and record sales.

ATV's meeting room.

The 'Preparatory Committee' of ATV Headquarters was formally established, with internal management/technical personnel of the TV station, real estate/construction companies and design units, and Lin Zuhui and Cheng Kar-shun served as the chairmen and vice presidents of the preparatory committee.

Lin Zuhui first said: "ATV headquarters is not in a hurry, but to cooperate with the Hong Kong government's new town industrial estate, to prepare!" The Hong Kong government is already considering this plan, and ferries, roads, and even the subway will be connected there. Of course, our headquarters in 1994 will gradually start to be completed! Okay, let's discuss, what are the advantages of ATV headquarters? ”

A veteran producer in the drama department said: "With such a large area, you can consider the costume street and folk street!" ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "This can be had, the city wall and the palace can be built in a miniature way, and the palace can be copied in the style of the Huaqing palace and built in a reduced proportion." ”

An equipment management office said: "The boss is preparing for Asia Satellite TV, so a satellite ground station is also needed!" ”

Lin Zuhui said: "Well, yes! ”

Then, everyone had a serious discussion.

Lin Zuhui said: "We expect to invest 1.6 billion yuan in this project, and strive to solve the problem of ATV's headquarters once and for all." Of these, 400 million is for equipment, and 1.2 billion for land, civil construction and related expenses! ”

The Hong Kong government gave special preferential treatment to ATV this time, and only charged 200 million yuan for 1.22 million square feet of land. You know, even if it is industrial land, it is currently more than 300 yuan per square foot.

In addition to Lam's relationship, the Hong Kong government also hopes that the ATV headquarters will drive the popularity of the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, which is in the undeveloped stage.

Zheng Jiachun said: "With only a construction cost of 1 billion, a few buildings should be enough, but the cost of the ancient palace should be very high!" ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's not enough, you can increase investment!" Like ancient palaces, city walls, costume streets, and folk streets, they are planned in a unified area. In the future, not only can you film, but you can also open it to the public for two days a week, and you will definitely be able to make a fortune by charging tickets! ”

Zheng Jiachun immediately smiled and said: "This idea is good, Xiangjiang people see these ancient buildings, or on the green screen!" ”

This meeting will probably discuss some results, and Lin Zuhui will naturally not participate in the follow-up, and in the end, he only needs to come up with a plan for him, and agree to it.

......

ATV's ambition to give wireless another blow.

In Uncle Shao's view, Lin Zuhui must have a lot of self-confidence when he increases investment now. In this way, wireless is really dangerous. For a long time, Uncle Shao Liu believed that Lin Zuhui was the biggest threat to wireless, and he alone could withstand half of ATV.

Uncle Shao Liu urgently summoned the senior management of wireless to formulate some targeted strategies.

In addition to the high production requirements on the show, Uncle Shao Liu also said murderously: "For those artists who bet on both sides, we must resolutely boycott and give him a cold bench!" ”

In the conference room, none of the high-level officials objected, but took it for granted.

It can be seen that this is the current situation of Heung Kong TV, and the competition is fierce.

It's a pity that what these people don't know is that today's ATV is no longer what it used to be, if wireless persecutes artists, others may choose to jump ship as soon as the contract expires.

Then, Fang Yihua said: "We should prepare for the filming of "Bao Qingtian", and the ratings will not be wrong! ”

The high-level executives of wireless once again agreed with Fang Yihua's point of view, so that later Hong Kong citizens turned on the TV and were 'Bao Qingtian's black charcoal face, and they would get tired after watching too much.

And "Bao Qingtian" has no copyright, and the citizens of Xiangjiang still like to watch it, ATV has been showing it last year and this year, and the ratings have not declined. Therefore, the wireless management is really tempted.

.......

.......

Sunday, January 7th.

Lin Zuhui began to go north, and this time he was invited by the official, so it was of great significance.

Of course, he also knows that this year, Li Chaoren, Cheng Kar-shun, and Lee Shau-kee will all go north, and everyone will invest in many mainland projects.

And now Lin Zuhui is the first to go north, of course, the significance is a little greater. In fact, he has always taken countermeasures from left to right, but the more this is the case, the more the two sides hope to win over Lin Zuhui. On the contrary, those who are too specialized will be subjected to strong pressure from one side.

Like Lin Zuhui, the four major families and other super-rich people are all such countermeasures. After all, everyone is a businessman, and if you have to engage in bundling, the business will not be big at all.

Speaking of which, in the relocation behavior in recent years, only Lin Zuhui and the four major families chose to stand still, but Wu Guangzhen, the son-in-law of the charter king, couldn't help but move Lane Crawford to Bermuda.

This is the general trend, although it will not be too ruthless, but it will also have some impact, Wu Guangzhen still wanted to run for election in his previous life, and he was simply overwhelmed.

Not re-domiciliating is to be fully optimistic about Hong Kong's future, and there is no such good business soil in Hong Kong in the world!

This time, Lin Zuhui went north and led a large number of subordinates, including Chen Bin, general manager of New Era Group, Chen Shiwen, president of LEIT Group, Zou Kaixuan of Xiaomi Technology, and a group of senior staff.

The lineup is strong, and it is with sincerity to investigate the market.

For Lin Zuhui, he has actually formulated a plan in his heart, and the investment in the mainland in the next five years will not be less than 50 billion, of course, in the name of the company, and as many loans as possible.

The investment projects include: infrastructure (highways, power plants), commercial complexes (Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen), garment manufacturing industry, high-tech industrial parks, ports.

If all goes well, upon its return to Hong Kong, New Era Group will set up a subsidiary of New Era Development (Huaxia) to invest in mainland projects.

Lin Zuhui and his entourage rented a charter plane from Ganglong and went to the capital.

The accompanying personnel also include personnel from units stationed in Hong Kong, such as the Xinhua News Agency and the Overseas Chinese Committee.

On the plane, Lin Zuhui was in a very relaxed mood and chatted with everyone.

"This time, we organized everyone to climb the Great Wall together and feel the wonders of the world for our Chinese. I used to listen to texts all the time, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to actually climb up! ”

Chen Bin said with a smile: "Standing on the Great Wall and looking at the scenery, there should be a different scenery!" ”

Lin Zuhui responded: "I think there should be a sense of the realm of life, although I haven't been there, but I think standing on it should also make me feel like pointing out the business, haha!" ”

The person in charge of the new news agency Xiangjiang said: "The mountains and rivers of the motherland welcome Chinese compatriots like Mr. Lin to visit, so Mr. Lin has time to visit the mainland!" ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "That's right, I will really go back to my motherland more in the future!" You can not only browse the scenery, but also invest in the construction of the motherland. ”

The people of the new agency breathed a sigh of relief, all along, the mainland officials thought that Lin Zuhui had a prejudice against the motherland!

After all, Lin Zuhui suffered and then went to Hong Kong.

Of course, Lin Zuhui moved to Hong Kong through formal channels, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
