Chapter 127 The Concept of Satellite Television
Qiu Shuzhen has played a Japanese girl, and her figure is also quite good, even if it is not as exaggerated as Hu Kaili, but Huo Dongjun feels that at least she should be able to enter the eyes of the Yankees.
After explaining Liu Zhenwei's incident, Huo Dongjun hung up the phone and turned on the radio, just as the news program of Hong Kong Commercial Radio was broadcasting:
“...... Approved the establishment of a second telecommunications network to provide cable television, mobile television and wireless paging services, the Hong Kong government opened the second telecommunications network this year, the wealthy businessmen who are interested in entering the television industry have moved, Lai Sun Group President Tang Baixin also told the media that he is very interested in the right to operate the second telecommunications network, and a spokesman for Hutchison Whampoa Group has held a press conference to talk about the establishment of a second telecommunications network by the Hong Kong government, Hutchison Whampoa will strive to win the right to operate, and Wheelock Group has established a new department. Negotiation of the right to operate the second telecommunications network...... It is understood that Hutchison Whampoa is planning to set up a satellite company to launch communication satellites to improve Hong Kong's mobile phone and wireless paging services, and ensure the communication quality of mobile phones and the speed of wireless paging......"
When Huo Dongjun first heard that the second telecommunications network was opened, he just smiled indifferently, the so-called second telecommunications network means that the Hong Kong government has seen that the wireless station and the Asia station are developing well and have great prospects, so it is ready to continue to expand the scale of telecommunications and provide a third TV license, this kind of TV license is a real rich man's game, before going to the United States, Huo Dongjun read financial magazines, and there were already government finance officials interviewed that the lower limit of the investment in the second telecommunications network operation right this time is at least 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, that is to say, If you can't take out 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, you know that this is a piece of fat, and you don't have to think about entering the market.
Listening to the names of those who expressed their stance on the radio, Tang Baixin's Lai Sun Group, with total assets of 20 billion, not to mention Li Jiacheng's Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock is the investment company of the ship king Bao Yugang, these three people are ready to grab the third TV license, even if other Hong Kong tycoons do not enter the game, they can already be called a bloody war.
However, the last sentence of the commercial radio news made Huo Dongjun stunned, and the satellite company launched a communication satellite.
This sentence seemed to remind him that the Phoenix Satellite TV in his impression was Hong Kong TV, but it seems that there is no now, and there seems to be no concept of satellite TV in Hong Kong now.
He now has a lot of cash in hand, and he has a steady stream of funds, and he has no money to buy Hong Kong's local telecommunications network, but renting a satellite transmitter should be enough, if he sets up a satellite TV?
With this idea, Huo Dongjun did not rush to Dongyi to see Qiu Shuzhen, but drove back to Dongtian Investment, and only after entering the office did he call Le Yiling in the mainland:
"vtr81uta, I'm Jun. ”
Le Yiling said on the other side of the phone: "Jun Shao, is there something?"
"Have you been busy lately?" Huo Dongjun asked aloud.
Le Yiling's cold voice sounded: "It's okay, the report has been faxed back to the company, you should have seen it, a joint venture with the mainland's production center to set up a company, Dongtian accounts for 49% of the shares, but the investment in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is fully borne by Dongtian, but in terms of film and television bases, we are allowed to operate alone, so we have set up a company to build film and television bases in Zhuozhou and Wuxi respectively, and after agreeing that after the filming and filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the film and television base will be operated by us, and the contract will be signed directly with the local government, The production center is not affiliated with the film and television base. ”
"How much do you expect to spend this year?"
"At present, the construction of film and television bases is mainly the construction of film and television bases, and the labor costs in the mainland are very low, according to the current situation, the two film and television bases, if they are made according to the plan given by the production center, the cost is about 90 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a large number of costume props and horses, etc., the total amount before filming is about 120 million, and the cost of the filming period is about 20 million, and the budget given by the production center is 160 million, this number should be enough, and the film and television base plan will take about 17 months to complete. The total expenditure this year should be around 60 million, and the 20 million upfront investment has already reached the account in the mainland. Le Yiling talked about things at work, with a steady and clear tone.
Just listening to the other party's voice, and closing his eyes, Huo Dongjun can imagine Le Yiling wearing a uniform and practicing short hair.
60 million in the first year, 70 million Hong Kong dollars for Hollywood's movies, 130 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly half of the 300 million cash in hand from Ye Weizhou has been spent, and Dongsheng Entertainment's books have about 300 million gambling capital at this time, Huo Dongjun can come up with 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and the funds that can be active in his hands are still maintained at about 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
"I need someone who knows enough about the TV industry to give me some advice?" Huo Dongjun did not pretend to ask Le Yiling if she was working hard in the mainland, Le Yiling's moment of weakness was on the night of the cocktail party, except for that night, at other moments, there was no need to ask her any questions about weakness and hardship.
Le Yiling thought for two seconds before saying: "My TV industry experience is an internship in a Japanese TV station, Hong Kong, I don't know, but this question Jun Shao can ask the film industry directors Wang Jing and Mai Dangxiong, both of whom had rich work experience in TV stations back then, even if you can't give Jun Shao the answer you want, you should be able to introduce someone who can answer to you." ”
After a pause, Le Yiling's voice continued to sound: "With all due respect, Jun Shao, the right to operate the second telecommunications network in Hong Kong is not something that Dongtian Investment can participate in at this level. ”
When Fok asked her about the TV industry, she immediately remembered the announcement by the British government in Hong Kong in January about the establishment of a second telecommunications network.
In Le Yiling's view, Huo Dongjun's layout of the film and television city in the mainland, going to Hollywood to shoot Western films, are in line with his current level of action, at present, Hong Kong film crews are popular to shoot in the north, a professional-level film and television city, can indeed attract film crews to film, and according to the number of previously obtained, the annual growth of mainland TV dramas continues to increase, according to the completion of the film and television city in two years, then there will be 2 mainland TV dramas every year, more than 70 TV shorts, plus the reception of some Hong Kong film crews and tourists, The studio project will become the first choice for filming mainland TV dramas, and even under Huo Dongjun's free filming system, the company may be profitable within five years.
As for Hollywood's Western films, Le Yiling feels that Huo Dongjun's idea is not as ingenious as that of the film and television city, and a free system of the film and television city is Huo Dongjun's idea beyond ordinary people.
It's free, so you can earn more.
Now Huo Dongjun asks about the TV industry, Le Yiling thinks that this young boss has been too smooth all the way, and he is a little dizzy? Even if Huo Dongjun can use all his assets and borrow a huge amount of money to enter the market to fight for the TV license, and get the license in hand, it is only the beginning.
What's more, compared with those predators who have long been eyeing the fat of the TV industry, whether it is capital or calculation, Huo Dongjun does not have an advantage at all.
