Time flies, and it's mid-May in a blink of an eye.

Sunday, May 16.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Zuhui, Zheng Yutong, Li Shauji, He Sheng, Rong Gongzi, Mr. Dong, He Shanheng, Li Junxia, Li Yeguang and other people came to a Catholic church to attend the wedding of Li Chao's eldest son, Li Zeju.

Li Chaoren did not send an invitation, but everyone was 'uninvited', and there were quite a few people, about 200 people participated. Including Lin Zuhui, the same is true, when Li Chaoren attended his wedding, he couldn't help but give him a face.

What's more, Lin Zuhui himself and Li Chaoren have no grudges, the two are just more fierce under the competition of their companies, and now they are more normalized.

Although Li Zeju's marriage is relatively low-key, reporters and citizens in Hong Kong have paid attention to it. If he doesn't participate, he will definitely be criticized.

In fact, all this is because Li Chaoren is 'cautious and subtle', for fear that others will scold him for being extravagant and wasteful, and holding a wedding for his son with great fanfare.

Did it work?

If it had been useful, his son would not have been kidnapped in his previous life;

If it had been useful, he would not have been a 'patriotic businessman' first in his previous life, and finally became a 'plum cucumber' and attracted infamy.

Lin Zuhui still saw through it, his wealth has reached a certain level, and he doesn't need to care too much about those 'reputations'; as long as he doesn't touch the law, he can spend his money as he wants.

You don't see, even a rich man like Bill Gates who 'donates all', some netizens scold others for using the 'foundation' to avoid taxes. Therefore, the poor will always be 'hating the rich', they will not think about how to make money, they will only scold the rich for being rich and unkind'.

When everyone came to the church, they saw Li Chaoren thanking him one by one at the door, as quite modest and polite.

"Lin Sheng, the hospitality is not good, please bear with me!"

"Li Sheng is polite, although you are busy, we are quite casual!"

After speaking, Lin Zuhui and everyone walked to the seats and waited for the wedding ceremony. Because the bride Wang Fuxin is a Catholic, the wedding was held in a Catholic church, and it is said that Li Chaoren also donated 3 million to this church, fulfilling his daughter-in-law's wish.

At half past four, the wedding took place on time, in the Catholic way.

After the ceremony, everyone was invited to the Eagle's Nest Hall of the Hilton Hotel in Central, Li Chaoren's home store, for a dinner.

The signature dishes of the wedding banquet are: 10 dishes such as pepper and salt crab claws, and 12 abalones are selected for hemp abalone, each of which costs more than 2,000 yuan; Braised big abalone wings and top Jinshan hook wings, 3,000 yuan per catty; Two catties of large Su Mei weigh nearly 2,000 yuan each....... A rough estimate is about 38,000 yuan a table.

Not surprisingly, Li Chaoren had to introduce himself to the media again, so as not to give people the impression of luxury.

During this period, Lin Zuhui met Li Zekai, who was quite a bit of a 'hanger'.

"Lin Sheng, you must be nonsensical (boring) about tonight's 'nostalgic song', right?"

Lin Zuhui saw that he took the initiative to talk to him, and said with a smile: "From this point of view, the personalities of you and your brother are really different, but I think tonight's nostalgic song is really not interesting, haha!" ”

He is more than a year older than Li Zekai, but he usually intersects with his father and Li Zeju, but he has only met at some gatherings of the second generation in Hong Kong. Of course, he is not the rich second generation in Hong Kong, but he also has friends in which circle, such as Cheng Kar-chun, Pan Dickson, Feng Yongxiang and others, so they have played together once or twice before.

Li Zekai continued to talk: "I went to the foreman to complain and asked him not to play so many nostalgic songs, but the foreman said that it was hand-picked by my brother, so there is no way." I know that Lin Sheng is the godfather of Hong Kong stream music and Hong Kong stream dramas, so I came to ask for a few words. ”

At this point, the meal is almost over, and it's time to listen to music and dance.

Lin Zuhui immediately took the opportunity to say: "That's not simple, Dragon TV joined our ATV Group, Ah Kai, you will be our director, and you will also be the boss of Gangliu Culture in the future." Ha ha! ”

He gave up on the formation of a satellite television network because the cost was too high, but if the way of issuing new shares does not require ATV's cash flow and loans, then it is naturally very good.

To be honest, he cares most about carrying forward the Hong Kong culture, and he doesn't really care about the number of shares he holds, although he still has a 49% stake and a small number of warrants (DreamWorks merged into ATV).

Li Zekai was stunned for a moment, couldn't react for a while, and said after a while: "Lin Sheng wants to acquire or merge Dragon TV?" ”

Lin Zuhui is an old man, how can Li Zekai be compared, so he immediately attacked: "Or go to my yacht tomorrow to play, today is a good day for your brother." ”

At this time, Li Zekai could only agree: "Lin Sheng invited, I will definitely come!" ”

Let's not talk about whether this deal will succeed or not, but Lin Zuhui has already invited his youngest son to his yacht without Li Chaoren's knowledge. Of course, Dragon TV is a company where Li Chaoren cultivates his son, and Li Zekai can call the shots.

In fact, Li Zekai didn't tell Li Chaoren about it that night, the first was that Li Chaoren was busy and tired, the second was that he felt that he could call the shots, and the third was of course that he was very curious about how thick the chips Lin Zuhui gave.

At this time, Dragon TV has a total of 5 channels, 4 channels that broadcast American television, and 1 self-made program; Dragon TV's receiving range is wider than that of Asia Satellite TV, but the audience is still not as large as Asia Satellite TV's channel. Asia Satellite TV has an audience of 45 million, while Dragon TV has an audience of 38 million.

This makes Li Zekai a little unwilling, although Dragon TV is currently profitable, but Asia Satellite TV is obviously more favored by world-class companies to place advertisements.

Of course, the overall advertising revenue, Asia Satellite TV is definitely far less than Dragon TV, after all, Dragon TV is five channels.

.......

Following.

On the south side of Hong Kong Island, Lin Zuhui entertained Li Zekai on his superyacht.

From Li Zekai's eyes, he saw envy, because of the family style of Li Chaoren's family, Li Zekai does not have the same wealth freedom as the rich second generation of later generations, it is said that he still rents a house in Canada with his own salary, and he is currently living in a mansion in the mid-levels rented with a salary.

According to the analysis of this situation, Lin Zuhui immediately knew that if Li Zekai wanted to be independent, the best way was to sell Dragon TV, and then take the money to start a business.

"Lin Sheng, your yacht is the first in Xiangjiang, I'm afraid the price will be hundreds of millions!" Li Zekai said enviously.

Lin Zuhui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Call me Brother Hui, everyone is a young man, what's polite." This yacht is exactly 100 million, don't be envious, you will have it soon. ”

"Brother Hui, I'm not like you, I started from scratch, I can spend my money as much as I want, and my family is more tightly managed!" Li Zekai immediately said closely. He admires Lin Zuhui's legendary experience, although the two are still 'opponents', but he finds that Asia Satellite TV is really running too well, and he has some admiration.

Lin Zuhui said: "This is your father honing you, Dragon TV is so well managed by you, and your father and your master have almost full authority to you, you have succeeded in starting a business." If nothing else, let me show you around! ”

"Okay, it won't be inconvenient!" Li Zekai said.

"Convenient!"

took Li Zekai to visit the yacht for a while, which made this super rich second generation itch. However, he knew that his father would not let him be so high-profile, and of course, if he made money, he would not care about his father's opinion.

In the end, Lin Zuhui invited Li Zekai to come to the flybridge, poured a glass of red wine, and chatted with exquisite snacks.

"Akai, what do you think of my suggestion yesterday? Together, we will be able to build the strongest communication group. Lin Zuhui said intimately.

In fact, he calculated that Li Zekai's joining ATV would not threaten his dominance at all, so he said lightly.

As for equity, ATV now has a market value of 23 billion, which can be called a giant. The valuation of Dragon TV is at most 35~5 billion in this life, which is less than the 6.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous life.

Li Zekai said: "Brother Hui, of course I want to work with you, but I want to start a business even more." So, if you are interested, you can quote me, and I will see if Dragon TV is sold. ”

Of course, there is no problem, the issuance of new shares can be exchanged for Dragon TV, and you can also raise funds to buy Dragon TV, the reason is the same. At present, Xiangjiang has already canceled the rule of 'no more than 10% of new shares issued', so if it is '10 for 3' from Asia Television Group, Dragon TV will be easily swallowed.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "That's good!" How about US$400 million (HK$31.2)? ”

Li Zekai's expression froze, and he immediately said: "Brother Hui, this price is not like your style!" ”

This price is indeed very low, although Dragon TV is estimated to have only invested 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, but after all, the operation is quite successful, 38 million viewers are real, and the satellite TV license is also very valuable.

Lin Zuhui laughed, and then said, "Don't worry! $400 million is to buy a 65% stake in Dragon TV, and of course we want half cash and half ATV shares. As for the remaining 35% of the shares, we need to make strategic arrangements considering the relevant regulations that may touch the Hong Kong government. My idea is that the Hutchison and Lee families still control the licensing agency and BBN of Satellite TV, with you owning 52% and Asia TV only 48%; The 65% controlling equity of Oriental Satellite Broadcasting is controlled by Asia Satellite TV, and when the time is ripe for the merger, you can still enjoy the long-term dividends of satellite TV. ”

Li Zekai was moved at this time, Dragon TV has only invested more than 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 3 times the profit.

"Brother Hui, I need to go back and think about it!" Li Zekai said.

I think it's tempted, Lin Zuhui really didn't lower the price, and it can even be said that the premium is very high. The reason is actually very simple, in order to reach this deal, it doesn't hurt to let Li Zekai make more money.

The market value of Asia Satellite TV is already large, and Lin Zuhui does not plan to participate in the money raised by the rights issue, so the stock will be diluted.

Assuming that Dragon TV's total value is 5 billion Hong Kong dollars and Asia Television Group's 23 billion Hong Kong dollars, Lin Zuhui's shares are diluted by about 20%, and there is still nearly 40%.

For Asia Satellite TV Group, Lin Zuhui originally valued its influence more than its value. Therefore, 40% of the shareholding will not affect him for anything, and it is impossible for anyone to challenge the control, after all, he is super rich.

What's more, you can increase your holdings when you find an opportunity in the future.
