Lu Xiaopei returned to Hong Kong from London with a little disappointment, he thought he was moving fast enough, but he didn't expect Paul Li of Poly Construction to move faster. After HSBC announced the redevelopment of the head office building, he analyzed the bank's intentions and ideas a little, and decided to go to London to pull a construction company to partner.

Because he thinks that HSBC is British-owned, he must have a good impression of British construction companies, and he puts his greatest hope in the British wIMPY Construction Company Alliance; Unexpectedly, the other party had reached a cooperation agreement with Poly Construction, and the two parties formed a joint enterprise to bid for the reconstruction project of the head office of HSBC Building.

In this way, Lu Xiaopei could only retreat and cooperate with another well-known British construction company.

In fact, at this time, the Gonghe Construction established by Lu Xiaopei was not one of the top construction companies in Hong Kong. Gonghe Construction is not a listed company (Kinmen, Xinchang, Rui'an), nor does it have a good signboard, but only undertook some large projects as a past performance.

For example, Poly Construction, although not a listed company, is still the most famous construction company in Hong Kong, and has built countless first-class buildings, including Victoria Harbour Center, Shangri-La Hotel, Far East Financial Center Tower AB, and Haifu Center.

But Lu Xiaopei thinks that he has a good chance!

If his Gonghe building bid is successful, then there is a signboard that will go down in the history of architecture!

But in the face of his old club, Lu Xiaopei was a little worried.

So, after he returned to Hong Kong, he immediately hoped to visit Shen Bi, the senior class of HSBC, to lobby for a lobbying.

On this day, Shen Bi finally agreed to meet Lu Xiaopei in the office.

After Shen Bi looked at Lu Xiaopei, he said: "I know, Mr. Lu used to be a deputy in Poly Construction, and this time in the face of a powerful old club, what advantages do you have?" ”

The redevelopment of HSBC Tower, with a budget of more than HK$5 billion, naturally attracted outstanding construction companies in Hong Kong. After all, it takes five years to undertake this project, and you can get hundreds of millions of profits, which is already very rich.

Not to mention, being able to undertake such a top-level building must play a great role in promoting the construction company.

Lu Xiaopei hurriedly said: "Large enterprises like Poly Construction, they undertake a lot of business, it is impossible to put all their energy on a project, and the boss can soak in the site to supervise and manage." Gong Wo Construction is only a medium-sized construction company, and it is true that there is no opportunity to undertake such famous buildings as Victoria Harbour Centre and Shangri-La Hotel, but I can guarantee that if they win the bid, we will focus on the HSBC Tower, and I can also soak in the site to supervise and manage. ”

Shen Bi has a little bit of heartbeat!

But he's already heard some of these things from Paul Lee. Paul Li also promised that if Poly Construction won the bid, he would give up some of the work of Poly Construction to his colleagues, and he would focus on this project, because Paul Li is almost retirement age and hopes to use this building to complete the last journey of his construction work.

"Since Mr. Lu said this, I already understand what you mean, and I will use it as the basis for announcing who will be the flower at that time."

When Lu Xiaopei saw Shen Bi say this, he suddenly had some hope, thinking that he had moved Shen Bi.

As everyone knows, as soon as this project was announced, Lin Zhichao began to study HSBC's idea, or Shen Bi's idea. Therefore, he asked Paul Li to go to London to seek cooperation with the largest British construction company, and then asked Paul Li to lobby Shen Bi that if Poly Construction won the project, Paul Li would lead the team and personally take charge of the project.

Poly Construction is already full of talents, and Paul Li is at the age of retirement, so he is in charge of this project.

Moreover, in Shen Bi's view, Poly Construction's qualifications are too good, and it is a well-deserved first place among many construction companies in Hong Kong in the field of construction.

In the restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel, Lin Zhichao invited Zhou Liang Shuyi to have afternoon tea together, and Li Ziduo was on the side.

Soon after sitting down, Lin Zhichao said directly: "Are you interested in coming to ATV as CEO again?" ”

He and Zhou Liang Shuyi's father know each other, his father Liang Jihao is a celebrity in Hong Kong and Macao, and Lin Zhichao has had several relationships with him.

Zhou Liang Shuyi said: "Lin Sheng, you may not know, I am famous for spending money, which is in line with ATV's current fiscal contraction. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "In the past, ATV had many shareholders, and everyone thought about how to make money. And now, with a 100% stake in ATV, the media group is naturally not worried about spending money. Therefore, Ling is now the same strategy as ATV, which is to spend money, of course, to spend money on ratings. ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi suddenly understood something, Mr. Lin Zhichao has always been rich in Hong Kong, but after he acquired ATV, he appointed his retainer Li Ziduo and son Lin Ruikai to manage ATV; And in the past year, ATV has been in turmoil, which may be what the tycoon wants, taking the opportunity to squeeze out other shareholders.

"Lin Sheng, if I come to be the CEO, who should I listen to?"

It is very important to hear about it, and if you still listen to the plums, then many strategies will be limited.

If you are directly led by Mr. Lin Zhichao, then you have a higher degree of freedom and a greater place to play.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It seems that Ziduo, you carried a big black cauldron for me this time." ”

Li Ziduo smiled: "Not necessarily, if I make an idea, it must be tightened finances!" ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi understands that Li Ziduo is just implementing the boss's ideas. Of course, no one said that ATV's strategy in the past year was wrong, after all, from the perspective of businessmen, controlling costs is very correct.

Lin Zhichao then said: "After you become the chief executive officer, you are naturally directly responsible to the media group, I am the chairman of the board of directors of the media group, and you are directly responsible to me. However, I have always focused on the key points, and I am often not in Hong Kong, so Ziduo is still my agent. ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "Then of course I am willing to follow Lin Sheng to do things, you are my idol!" ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "That's good! When you're ready, come to ATV at any time and we'll talk about it later. ”

There was not much politeness between the two sides, and the goal was quickly achieved.

With a natural love for the television industry, Chow developed an interest in theatre and cinema after her father was a film distributor and cinema business. Later, he went to the United Kingdom to study at the Graduate School of Recital and Drama in Rosebrook, and worked as a teacher and actor in the Drama Theatre of the Royal Academy of Music.

Just ask such a talent, it is impossible for her to return to TVB, so as long as her talent is displayed, she will naturally be the best.

What's more, just like she said, it is also an honor to follow Lin Zhichao to do things.

A month later.

In just over a month, ATV has undergone tremendous changes, attracting a lot of attention.

First of all, the other shareholders of ATV withdrew, and the media group was 100% controlled;

Secondly, ATV announced that Zhou Liang Shuyi will serve as the chief executive officer, which means that Lin Zhichao will become ATV's direct boss because it is 100% controlled.

Two pieces of news make many people smell different!

Zhou Liang Shuyi is the CEO of ATV, so her style of spending money can work in ATV? You must know that ATV has been controlling costs in the past ten months, which eventually led to the stagnation of ratings that should have improved.

At the same time, after the death of Li Xiaohe, the chairman of the board of directors of TVB, Run Run Shaw was elected chairman of the board and general manager of TVB because none of the three major shareholders had any intention of sending people to take charge of TVB.

TVB has finally begun to belong to the Shaw Brothers industry in the true sense. Although Run Run Shaw's shares are pitiful, as long as they are actually mature, in fact, British capital will choose to cash out.

Even Hutchison Whampoa has publicly pledged to reduce its stake in TVB when the time comes.

TVB.

Run Run Shaw was sitting in the office, and it dawned on him at this time that with Lin Zhichao's talent, how could he do nothing after the acquisition of ATV!

It turns out that all this is in the layout, first take the shares of other shareholders, and then go all out to develop, so that there is a lot less trouble.

"I don't believe it! He Lin Zhichao can be successful in whatever he does, and he is not an immortal, how can he be so omnipotent. ”

"If I just invited Chow to be the CEO, I wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Zhou Liang Shuyi will spend money at most, at most, it will bring two or three percent of the ratings to Asia TV. And in this way, ATV's ratings are there, but the profit cannot be there, and the losses are very large every year. And TVB, even if it only accounts for 70% of the ratings, there is no problem with the gradual increase in profits. ”

"So, I don't need to worry!"

Soon, Shaw thought of the key to the matter.

His idea is completely correct, in his previous life, when Zhou Liang Shuyi hosted ATV in the 90s, he spent a lot of money, and also poached a lot of high-level executives and artists of TVB, and the ratings also rose by up to 40%, and usually 30%. However, ATV has been in a state of loss, and in the end, when Lin Baixin dominated ATV, he kicked Zhou Liang Shuyi away and returned to the cost-saving route.

Therefore, Shaw's idea is completely correct, but Shaw may never have thought that Lin Zhichao is not an ordinary person.

Lin Zhichao walked into the ATV building on the radio road for the first time, which surprised many people. You must know that the media group has been acquiring ATV for ten months, and now the boss has just appeared, and I have to say that the boss's career is big enough.

"Boss, this is Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan, the program planning and supervision of Asia TV, this is the program producer Li Zhaoxiong and Xu Xiaoming"

Li Ziduo acted as an introducer and introduced the main management of ATV to Lin Zhichao one by one.

Lin Zhichao greeted everyone one by one, and then he joked and said: "Thank you very much for staying on ATV and not being scared away!" ”

Everyone laughed, and they probably understood at this time that the past ten months were probably the strategy of the media group.

In fact, it seems that Li Ziduo is controlling the cost budget according to Lin Zhichao's instructions. But in fact, the programs that ATV wants to cut have to be approved by Lin Zhichao, and Lin Zhichao has a series with good ratings in his mind, so he naturally refuses to cut it. At the same time, for the planning, supervision and production of programs such as Mai Dangxiong, Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming, and Li Zhaoxiong, Lin Zhichao also asked Li Ziduo to stay as much as possible.

"When will "Kindness of the Earth" start?" Lin Zhichao asked.

"It will start broadcasting on the 1st of next month (September)," McDonald said.

Everyone didn't expect that the boss still paid attention to ATV, and even knew the dramas filmed.

"Okay, I've heard that this series is being filmed, and the subject matter is very good."

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao visited the ATV building and various departments with everyone.

ATV has Chinese and English channels, which is a treatment that Jiayi TV did not have at the beginning, and Jiayi only has Chinese channels.

After the tour.

Lin Zhichao came to the chairman's office prepared for him, and Li Ziduo, Zhou Liang Shuyi, and Lin Ruikai followed.

"The first thing to do now is to stabilize the morale of the military, and later you will announce that the media group will increase the salary of all employees of ATV by 30%."

Actually, how can there be no turmoil?

Now many people are just waiting and watching, if you don't add a fierce material, many people are afraid that they are ready to leave, and they can't wait for the dawn of ATV.

Zhou Liang Shuyi said with a smile: "This is the best way to retain people!" ”

She originally planned to go to TVB to poach people, but now that the boss uses this trick, she is even more open.

Lin Zhichao then said: "The second thing is to promote Li Zhaoxiong to the director of the ATV drama department, and Mai Dangxiong to be the deputy director, with three departments, and then there will be internal competition between the departments." Which department makes a drama with high ratings, then the budget and bonuses of the next department will be raised, and everyone will get the funds based on their strength. ”

Zhou Liang Shuyi said: "The heads of the three departments? ”

Lin Zhichao said: "You can arrange this, but Xu Xiaoming can definitely be the head of a department." My main purpose is to improve everyone's economy, and if there are still talents, I can also set up a fourth part. At the same time, it is necessary to set up a program department, a department specializing in the production of variety shows, and two departments must be set up first, and the news department is also set up. Improve the treatment of screenwriters, you can't lose to the director"

Of course, he won't come up with some content now, after all, he has to let ATV develop on its own for two or three years.

Zhou Liang Shuyi immediately understood that this boss was not ignorant, but quite knowledgeable, but he didn't have time to participate in specific management.

"I plan to poach people from wireless, after all, I am more familiar with wireless talents, and wireless treatment has never been high."

Lin Zhichao said: "You are in charge of this matter!" However, talents must not only be dug up, but also cultivated by themselves, and we must also have an artist training class. Also, next year, I will plan a 'Miss Asia' beauty pageant. ”

Zhou Liangshu said: "It costs a lot of money this time! ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Don't worry about the funds, as long as they are spent on the blade, they must be paid out." ”

"Okay"

After some arrangement, I believe that the rise of Asia TV is inevitable.

Of course, this rise is nothing more than 'three or seven points' and 'four or six points' with TVB, and it is impossible to surpass TVB, and it will be difficult to make profits even in a few years.

If you want to rise in the true sense of ATV, you have to Lin Zhichao personally plan the content direction.

At the beginning of September, "The Kindness of the Earth" was launched, and the ratings quickly rose to 47.5%, which made the eyes of Hong Kong citizens shine.

Some media described that when Lin Zhichao stood in the Hong Kong TV industry arena with great ambition, the players of the past had faded like a tide, leaving only him and Run Run Shaw.

In the 70s, Golden Harvest Films led by Lin Zhichao defeated Shaw Brothers Films; And now, the two are once again standing in the same arena. Who will emerge victorious this time?

The article was written in a very emotional narrative style, which attracted a lot of discussion and attention from the public for a while.

"Mr. Lin is very difficult this time! Zhou Liang Shuyi is not Zou Wenhuai, she has already proved it once, and Jiayi has gone out of business! ”

"Jiayi was not done by Zhou Liang Shuyi, it was the consortium behind Jiayi that was 'financially insufficient', which led to the resignation of the 'Six Gentlemen of Jiayi', and finally Jiayi collapsed. And Mr. Lin Zhichao's financial resources, there is no one in Hong Kong who can match the existence, he can fully support Zhou Liang Shuyi's profligacy. ”

"Although Jiayi once made TVB pay attention to it, Jiayi at its peak was still not as powerful as TVB!"

"Well, have you forgotten that there is also Mr. Lin Zhichao. He made comics, and brought Hong Kong comics to a new height, which will soon be available to Hong Kong comic fans, and will also be exported overseas in large quantities, which is very influential in the world; When he made movies, he became the hegemon of Hong Kong and became popular in Asia; As a paper media, he became the No. 1 selling "Oriental Daily" in Hong Kong, and the best-selling magazines "Men's Gang" and "Capitalist". In short, you must not underestimate the power of the 'god of management'. ”

"Well, let's wait and see!"

What is called a legendary businessman and the god of management, Lin Zhichao's experience fully interprets this, from real estate, industry, to shipping, hotels, clothing, and finally media groups, which can be called an invincible existence.

This time, the competition between Asia Television and TVB has begun, and the Hong Kong people are very happy to see it.

After all, healthy competition can allow everyone to see better programs and have more choices, which is very important.

Of course, the reason why Lin Zhichao didn't interfere with the content of Asia TV for the first time was because he wanted to let Zhou Liang Shuyi play for a few years first, and then it was his turn to play, of course, just to provide creativity and let his subordinates do it.
