I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 375 [Wireless TV station! ] (Ask for a monthly pass!)

The four shipyards in Dongying did not expect to receive an order for global shipping after less than a year. It is really a pleasant surprise.

The ships built by Global Shipping this time are oil tankers with a deadweight of 20 tons, and there are ten ships in total;

This is not the first wave of 20-ton oil tankers to be built. Last year, Global Shipping began to build eight 8-ton oil tankers.

Moreover, Global Shipping decided to build 20-ton oil tankers in the future to facilitate management and reduce operating costs.

Although small oil tankers (less than 10 tons) also have some advantages, some companies that are in urgent need of oil will choose to lease;

But more disadvantages are that small oil tankers have high operating costs and are inconvenient to manage.

There are currently about 355 million tons of small ships in global shipping, and these are the first targets for reducing ships in the future.

After staying in Japan for 20 days, Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island in late March.

Back on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao started to prepare for the TV station.

At this time, there is only one TV station on Hong Kong Island, and that is Li's TV station;
In March 1957, "Li's Yingsheng" was officially launched, and the "Li's Voice" who was engaged in the broadcasting industry switched to host.

Lidi is a cable TV, and it is still in black and white mode. The daily broadcast time is about 6 hours, and the language is English;
Forget about these, the important thing is that the monthly fee is 25 Hong Kong dollars, which is extremely expensive in this day and age.

Therefore, at this time, there are less than 1000 households with TVs on Hong Kong Island, which is a place with extremely poor culture.

It can be said that the development level of TV on Hong Kong Island at this time is far lower than that of Western TV;

Coupled with the fact that the TV station is a highly profitable and influential communication industry, Wu Guangyao has long been planning.

Wu Guangyao and Sandas came to the Government House together and met the Governor Dai Linzhi.

The two are regular visitors here, and they are also one of several bigwigs on Hong Kong Island, so naturally they didn't have to wait too long, and soon they entered the governor's office.

Looking at Dai Linzhi's luxurious office, Wu Guangyao seemed to realize something, and the success rate of winning the TV station increased to 100%.

Why?

It turned out that, according to Wu Guangyao's analysis based on the data of later generations, during the ten years when Dai Linzhi was the governor of Hong Kong, corruption became a major problem during Dai Linzhi's tenure.

Among them, the corruption of public officials is the most serious, and public officials take bribes arbitrarily, causing the public to suffer greatly.

Among them, Han Sen, the chief inspector of the New Territories, and Lu Le, the former chief inspector of the Kowloon, are all products of Dai Linzhi's era.

Corruption is so prevalent, does the governor of Hong Kong, David Trench, have such behavior?

If not, then why did he not have the courage to govern?
His successor, MacLehose, started preparing for the ICAC as soon as he took office, so he is naturally a clean and honest person.

Based on the layout of Dai Linzhi's office, Wu Guangyao concluded that the Governor had that hobby!
Of course, this was a last resort, and even if he wanted to do this, Wu Guangyao would not come forward.

"It's unusual for the two of you to come to see me together. Could it be that your two companies are going to cooperate on a new project?" Dai Lin said with a toe smile.

Wu Guangyao and Sanders are very important figures to him;
Wu Guangyao is the leader of the Chinese in Hong Kong Island and has a high influence. The governor of Hong Kong must rely on Wu Guangyao to maintain the stability of Hong Kong Island;
And Sanders is the God of Wealth of Hong Kong Island. You must know that the Hong Kong government does not have a central bank, and HSBC is exercising the responsibility of the central bank.

"Your Excellency Governor, I wonder if you are satisfied with Hong Kong Daoli's TV station?" Wu Guangyao said.

"Oh, regardless of whether I'm satisfied or not, Mr. Wu will first talk about the Lai TV station on Hong Kong Island. What are the shortcomings?" host.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao was full of confidence. No one in Hong Kong Island could snatch his TV station, not even Lijia.

"Western TV stations have already adopted wireless transmission and are in color. From this point of view, Li's TV station is already far behind; and TV stations are an important source of spiritual life for citizens in the new era. How can Hong Kong Island lag behind others? Woolen cloth?"

"If the Hong Kong government grants us a TV station license, we guarantee that it will broadcast to the public for free and extend the daily broadcast time; and the Hong Kong government has an important channel to disseminate news to the public, which is beneficial to the management of the Hong Kong government."

Seeing Wu Guangyao's eloquent speeches, Dai Linzhi was indeed moved, but such a big matter naturally needs to be discussed within the Hong Kong government.

"Mr. Wu is indeed an all-rounder, but this matter is so important that the Hong Kong government needs to discuss it before making a decision!" Dai Linzhi said.

After Wu Guangyao and Sandas left the governor's office, Wu Guangyao said, "Sandas, you have long nights and dreams, can you take the lead at HSBC, and send a senior executive from Oriental Media Group to contact the Hong Kong government together!"

From this point, it can be seen how much Wu Guangyao watched the TV station!
Not because of how much money can be made, nor how much influence can be increased, but
Sanders thought about it and finally agreed!

For HSBC, the TV station was just an ordinary investment, but it was only for the sake of Wu Guangyao's face that it joined in.

However, since Wu Guangyao wants to improve an important part of the media group, HSBC will naturally support it;
Moreover, this is also an investment in itself. Although it is not very important, it does not mean that it is unprofitable.

"Okay, but you Dongfang Media can send a publicist for this matter. You don't need any senior executives to come forward. The same is true for us at HSBC." Sanders said sophisticatedly.

Obviously, in this regard, HSBC still has a lot of experience.

But regarding the TV station, Oriental Media actually has two plans.

The first is that the Hong Kong government issues a TV license to Oriental Media.

The second is to spend money on the license of Li's TV station as a last resort.

It can be said that the TV station is a project that Wu Guangyao attaches great importance to. Its importance is no less than that of Laofengxiang Jewelry, and slightly lower than that of a group company.

People, too much money can't be spent, so I have to find something fun!

Besides, the profit of the TV station is not lower than that of a jewelry company.

However, if you want to run a TV station well, you must have both hardware and software to be competitive.

The so-called hardware is easy to understand, it is equipment, and it is enough to spend money on it;
The so-called software is a program, and this requires resources.

Dongfang Media doesn't have many resources. Compared with Shao Laoliu, it's not a point or two, but a river.

To put it bluntly, the resources of Oriental Media are Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio and the music company affiliated to Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio.

And Shao Laoliu's artists, directors, and playwrights can be said to be full of talents.

Naturally, it was impossible for Oriental Media to recruit Shao Lao Liu as a shareholder, because Shao Lao Liu was not someone who was willing to assist Oriental Media.

There is one person who is very suitable to join Oriental Media, and that is Zou Wenhuai, the production director of Shaw Brothers Films at this time.

Although Wrinkle Wenhuai is the second-in-command of Shaw Brothers Films, Shao Lao Liu is very depressed at this time (after the later generations fell ill, they began to make large donations, and donated a lot in the Mainland), and even the management's food is hard to swallow. ;
Therefore, Wrinkle Wenhuai and a group of like-minded backbones often go to the house of Zhao Yaojun, the chief engineer in charge of printing and equipment;

What they didn't know was that Shao Lao Liu was already suspicious, thinking that these people had a tendency to rebel, so he was also taking precautions.

Of course, these are secondary. With the strength of Dongfang Media, it is enough to just recruit them with a high salary!
Wu Guangyao is not afraid that the boss of Jiahe in the future will have a rebellious heart in the future. As long as he pulls up the team, no one is indispensable.

Besides, Wu Guangyao knows a lot more than these people. He has watched countless movies and programs, so he is afraid that he will not be able to attract the audience?
