Hong Kong's new giants

Starting from Wednesday, the continuous withdrawal of funds from Japan made Lin Zuhui more courageous.

In fact, he is now heavily in debt and living a tight life.

For the 25 billion funds to acquire 25% of Modern Containers, he has only paid the booking fee; for the 20 million funds to acquire 6% of ATV, he is still waiting for the funds to sign a contract.

Of the original 80 billion funds, 30 billion was invested in blue-chip stocks and index futures, 10 billion was invested in the 'Citicorp Center', and 8 million was invested in 2% of the rights and interests of the Convention and Exhibition Plaza Building. The rest were almost all invested in properties. He had no choice. The loan will be decided in the future depending on the situation.

Although the money is getting less and less, there are more and more high-quality properties held, including prosperous shops, office buildings (floors), high-end luxury houses, garden villas, etc.Therefore, Lin Zuhui is also very happy every day.

Thursday, November 9.

In the conference room of the ATV building, Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong signed the equity transfer agreement under the witness of lawyers.

As for the 6 million cash, it can be paid in three months.

After the agreement was signed, the two held an ATV management meeting.

Zheng Yutong said to the executives: "Just now, I sold 20% of the shares to Director Lin at a price of 6 million yuan, and I readily accepted it. I was thinking, if I can make this money, I must have every one of you bit of contribution, so I thank you.”

As soon as the senior executives heard it, they knew that the real boss was about to take the stage, but it was not convenient for them to express their opinions.

In fact, the entire ATV management, staff, and artistes all understand the fact that Lin Zuhui is the one who really controls ATV, just like Shao Liushu used the position of general manager to control TVB.Both are relying on their strength to establish a kind of authority, and ATV's Lin Zuhui is obviously better than Shao Liushu.

TVB was the king of the game at the beginning of the year-free, colorful, and Lai's (the predecessor of ATV) only realized it ten years later, so that the market has long been occupied by TVB.

But what ATV faced at the beginning was not a monopoly, but a ruler, and its difficulties were far greater than that of TVB.

No one expected that ATV has had a lot of wonderful shows in the past few years, and every show is top-notch.

Zheng Yutong continued: "So, next I want to announce a news: Mr. Lin Zuhui will be the chairman of ATV's board of directors. Everyone applauds!"

In an instant, more than 20 high-level executives in the conference room applauded enthusiastically!
Lin Zuhui nodded, and after the applause stopped, he said slowly: "Chairman Zheng Yutong has made great contributions to our ATV, stabilizing the morale of the army, negotiating with foreign countries, and formulating major policies, allowing us to spend almost two years safely. development time. Therefore, he will remain as a director. We applaud him for his contribution!"

applause!

Zheng Yutong smiled and nodded.

Lin Zuhui continued: "I am a new official, so I would like to tell you about my policy outline: ATV not only wants to compete with TVB in Hong Kong, but also has its eyes on the world. Produce better programs and export them overseas. Not only can I get copyright fees, but I can also promote ATV, Hong Kong, and Chinese culture. I know that some of you think I am talking big, so let me tell you-what achievements my Wanhui Media has made overseas: " FHM magazine has been authorized in 5 countries. We published a cartoon about basketball in Japan, which can earn 5000 million yuan in net profit every year. The comics of the original company have been published in English overseas, and achieved great success. Quite excellent results. The overseas income of Wanhui Media has already accounted for [-]% of the company. So, what I want to tell you is that the world is as big as your vision!"

Everyone was stunned, followed by thunderous applause.

President Selina Chow hastily stated: "The words of the chairman have fueled our enthusiasm again. It just so happens that due to our [-]-[-] split with TVB recently, some management and staff have become a little lax. Now, everyone should also know about ATV's prospects. It should be better, so we have to work harder!"

She couldn't help but express her opinion. The new chairman is not Uncle Tong. Mr. Lin Zuhui is a strong, capable, and highly professional boss. If she thinks she has outstanding abilities and ignores the new chairman, she will have to leave.

Although she gained fame with ATV again, rumors about her are also floating in the media circles like ghosts; it is said that her performance is piled up with silver paper, and the advertising revenue is not enough to spend, and she spent 10 in the first year. billion, with a loss of more than 2 million.He also said that when He Zuozhi shut down Jiayi TV in a hurry, he couldn't bear the extravagance. The strong woman is too strong. If things go on like this, no matter how rich and powerful the shareholders are, they will feel heartbroken.

Of course, with the real rise of ATV, these rumors are getting smaller and smaller; especially in the second half of this year, ATV released the news that it will make tens of millions of profits this year.

At this point, ATV has finally changed its impression among the public, and it has truly achieved a [-]-[-] or [-]-[-] split with wireless.Stable profit is the next key.

A group of high-level executives also expressed their support for Lin Zuhui's work.

Zheng Yutong felt a little sad when he saw this scene. He could tell that these high-level officials really admired Lin Zuhui.Fortunately, he had a good attitude and quickly admitted that he was a layman.

Lin Zuhui nodded and encouraged everyone's attitude.

Then, he said: "Okay, keep working hard! But now, I want to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATV - YG Entertainment, Yu Xiaoming, you will be the general manager of this company, come to my office later Let’s talk about specific jobs.”

Lin Zuhui grabbed the head of a manager and drove the ducks to the shelves.

Yu Xiaoming said nervously, "Okay, boss!" He thought in his heart that he might be demoted, because YG Entertainment sounds so small.

The high-level executives didn't know what the boss was messing with, but anyway, it was a separate company, and it wouldn't affect the TV station, so everyone didn't care.

In the end, Lin Zuhui asked Zhao Zhenqiang, "When will "Genesis" be broadcast?"

He provided ATV with a total of two script outlines - "The Great Times" and "Genesis", because he had watched these two films many times in his previous life, and some plot ideas were squeezed in his heart.The two dramas like "Bao Qingtian" and "Giant" are just ideas.

Of course, he also encouraged ATV to make more family fashion dramas that can catch the teachers.Because of this, ATV has an advantage over TVB in costume dramas, so in the past two years, it has defeated TVB in drama series.

Zhao Zhenqiang said: "Next Friday, it will be broadcast on October 10!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Good publicity!"

"Ok!"

A meeting ended quickly, and ATV's agent would hold a press conference later to announce the appointment of the new chairman.

Yu Xiaoming came to Lin Zuhui's office naturally. He quickly figured it out just now, he must have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility; the new boss suddenly established a subsidiary company, it must be unusual.

"Sit" Lin Zuhui greeted Yu Xiaoming.

"Okay, boss!"

Lin Zuhui found a stack of recently compiled materials from the briefcase, then went to the sofa, and handed it to Yu Xiaoming.

"This is one of my star-making projects. You should take a good look at it! After reading it, check the information on it. There are some notes on it. When you have an idea, come to me again and we can discuss it."

Seeing that the boss attached so much importance to it, Yu Xiaoming naturally felt that the materials in his hands were heavy.

"No problem, I'll figure it out as soon as possible!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Yu Xiaoming is a senior executive of the company, and what he values ​​is his ability to manage artists.His so-called "star-making" plan is almost the entire plan of his previous life to understand the Hallyu, and it can be said to be quite complete.

Over the years, Hongkong's artists are very popular in South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong's films have also had a great influence in these places. Lin Zuhui hopes that the "idol group" created by ATV can also earn some foreign exchange for ATV.

In fact, last year's Little Tigers from Taiwan had already shown their achievements in "their debut in Asia and set a record of more than 20 sold-out concerts", which shows that the idol group is very worth investing in.

Coincidentally, ATV has always been at a disadvantage in terms of singers, and TVB. I hope to use this model to reverse it in the future.

Lin Zuhui's appointment as the chairman of ATV's board of directors caused a storm of public opinion in Xiangjiang.

For a long time, news from ATV employees has confirmed that Lin Zuhui has been involved in ATV's work.

What's more, ATV's good shows are not like the style of Zhou Liangshuyi and others, but like Lin Zuhui's style in Wanhui Media.

Therefore, in the market, the biggest credit for ATV's rise is attributed to Lin Zuhui, followed by Zhou Liangshuyi.

wireless television.

Uncle Shao Liu and Fang Yat Wah were also discussing countermeasures in the office. Both of them attached great importance to Lin Zuhui as the head of the family, even more than Zhou Liangshuyi as the chief executive.

In Shao Liushu's view, Zhou Liang Shuyi's method can manage for a while; after a long time, the shareholders will not be able to make a profit for a long time, so they will naturally fire her.But as time went by, Shao Liushu realized that Lin Zuhui's directing and participation in the operation of ATV would have a huge impact on TVB.

First of all, Lin Zuhui himself started as a media company, but real estate came later;
Secondly, Lin Zuhui's financial strength in the past one or two years is enough for ATV to fight a protracted war;
In the end, ATV had a good show and established a solid position in one fell swoop.

In particular, many programs not only have long-term broadcasts and high ratings, but also increase the ratings of some ATV programs, which is fatal.

"There is no program of the same type as "Millionaire" in the world, otherwise we can introduce one and compete with ATV!" Fang Yat-hua exclaimed.

"Definitely not. ATV recently announced that "Millionaire" will export overseas copyrights. Not only that, the production cost of an episode of "Millionaire" is 50 Hong Kong dollars, but it can get 110 million advertising fees. This has become ATV's most profitable The show. I see them making millionaires for others, but becoming millionaires themselves.”

The biggest headache for Shao Liushu is "Millionaire", which has high ratings and is liked by advertisers, and has robbed several large TVB advertisers.

"Why don't we do a similar program where you win prizes by answering questions?" Fang Yihua said immediately.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Shao Sixth Uncle said immediately.

It's not that this kind of thing hasn't been done before. Last year, ATV made a show called Comedian Save the Earth. TVB heard the news and immediately made a show called Comedian Mainstream. At this time, the two companies were fighting a war of words in the newspapers.

However, what Uncle Liu does not know is that "Millionaire" is the "lifeblood" of ATV, and its copyright is registered in the UK and Hong Kong; if TVB dares to touch the cake, Lin Zuhui will ask the British white-haired barrister to tell the old man , you are wrong.
