They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

After having dinner at the two teachers’ homes, Yao Yuan took Liu Jingwen away and headed straight for Goldfish Hutong.

Because he had to discuss the acquisition of TVB with Mr. Shao and his wife, he did not have an in-depth discussion with the two teachers about the report written by Yao Yuanxin.

In fact, since the two professors had just received the report materials, they had not had time to read them carefully and did not understand the actual situation.

At this time, we cannot have an in-depth discussion.

They decided to study the report carefully tonight, understand the actual situation, and then give their own opinions.

The discussion with Yao Yuan could only take place over the phone.

After coming out of the residential area where the two teachers lived, Yao Yuan immediately told Zhang Bing to go to Jinyu Hutong.

Then, he whispered to Liu Jingwen:

"Come with me to Goldfish Alley to meet the legendary founder of TVB and Shaw Brothers, Mr. Shaw."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to take over TVB and Shaw Brothers tonight. From now on, TVB will belong to me."

Liu Jingwen smiled and nodded, whispering excitedly:

"Don't mention it, I really want to meet Mr. Shao. This old man is a true legend."

"Growing up, many of the classic Hong Kong movies and TV series we've watched were produced by Shaw Brothers and TVB."

"But I never imagined that one day you would replace Mr. Shaw and become the boss of TVB and Shaw Brothers. It was like a dream."

As she spoke, she quickly kissed Yao Yuan on the cheek, her eyes full of intoxication.

In her eyes, Yao Yuan at this time has surpassed Mr. Shao and is a new generation of entertainment tycoon.

More importantly, this is my boyfriend.

Yao Yuan turned his head and looked at her, and said with some pride:

"This is just the beginning. My goal is not just TVB and Shaw Brothers. This is just a small goal."

While they were chatting and laughing, the convoy arrived at Jinyu Hutong and slowly stopped in front of Mr. Shao's courtyard door.

I received the message that Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Chen from TVB were already waiting at the door.

After getting out of the car, Yao Yuan took Liu Jingwen forward to say hello and introduced Liu Jingwen and Mrs. Shao to each other.

Then, he took a look at the gate of the courtyard house and its surroundings, and expressed his sincere admiration.

"Mrs. Shao, the location of your courtyard house is great. It's quiet in the middle of a bustling city, and it feels like a hidden gem in the city."

"I have to say that Mr. Shao and you have very good vision. You chose such a good place to buy a courtyard house. It is really enviable."

Mrs. Shao smiled and nodded, then continued:

"This is the yard that Mr. Shao chose. The location is really good. It was bought in the 1990s and then completely rebuilt. Later, it underwent several partial renovations before it became what it is now."

"It's a pity that Mr. Shao and I are old and can't travel around anymore. This may be the last time we live in this courtyard. This trip to Beijing to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games may also be our last visit to Beijing."

"Mr. Shao's children do not want to inherit the family business, so this courtyard house can only be sold in the future. If Mr. Yao is interested in taking over, we are willing to transfer this courtyard house to you. I believe that Mr. Yao will be able to take good care of this courtyard."

Yao Yuan's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile.

"That would be great. If I buy this elegant courtyard house, I will give it to my grandparents to live in."

"In the future, whenever Mr. Shao and his wife come to Beijing, they can stay here at any time to relive the good old days. Our family will welcome you."

Hearing him say this, Mrs. Shao's eyes suddenly flashed with emotion, and also a little envy.

What she envied was the inseparable and extremely warm family relationship between Yao Yuan and his family.

As they were talking, everyone had already walked into the gate of this courtyard house.

As they walked along, Mrs. Shao briefly introduced the relevant situation of this three-courtyard quadrangle, and her words were full of nostalgia and reluctance to leave.

But as she herself said, she and Mr. Shao are old and it is impossible for them to travel between Hong Kong Island and Beijing anymore.

It is not realistic for them to live in the capital for a long time, as they cannot adapt to the dry climate of the capital, especially the cold winter.

The only place where they can spend their twilight years is Hong Kong Island, where they have lived all their lives.

As a result, this elegant three-in-one courtyard house can only be sold.

Not only this courtyard, but almost all of their properties in the capital city will be sold.

Yao Yuan, who was standing aside, was undoubtedly the most perfect buyer.

Not only can he take over all of Mr. Shao and his wife's businesses in Beijing and even in the mainland, but he will also not take the opportunity to lower the price.

On the contrary, he is likely to buy it at a premium, and such a buyer is hard to find even with a lantern.

Behind Yao Yuan and the others, Gao Huan and Chen Feiyang followed in, while Zhang Bing and the others stayed in the car.

As they were talking, everyone had passed through the hanging flower gate and entered the second courtyard.

As soon as he entered the second courtyard, Yao Yuan saw it at a glance.

Mr. Shao was sitting on a rattan chair under a crabapple tree in front of the north door, looking at this side with a smile.

On the small round rattan table next to him, there was a set of Yixing purple clay tea sets, steam rising from it.

This scene undoubtedly fits the feeling of living in a courtyard house, and it makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

Seeing Yao Yuan coming in, Mr. Shao raised his hand to greet him and said with a smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Yao, come and have tea with me."

Yao Yuan smiled softly and immediately walked forward quickly.

"Good evening, Mr. Shao, sorry to bother you. You look like an old immortal, free and easy, leisurely and carefree."

As he spoke, he came closer and shook hands with Mr. Shao.

Mr. Shao originally wanted to get up, but he was gently held down and kept saying that he didn't dare.

Soon after, Mrs. Shao brought Liu Jingwen to the crabapple tree.

Yao Yuan introduced Liu Jingwen, saying that she was his girlfriend and they happened to be together tonight, so he brought her here.

Liu Jingwen stepped forward, shook hands with Mr. Shao, and exchanged a few polite words.

Mr. Shao praised her for her beautiful looks and called her a great beauty, no less beautiful than all the previous Miss Hong Kong champions.

Hearing such praise, Liu Jingwen felt so happy.

You know, TVB under Mr. Shaw has selected countless Hong Kong beauties who are famous in the Chinese world, including many famous beautiful stars.

For example, Michelle Reis and Maggie Cheung are both famous beauties who came out of TVB.

Based on this point alone, Mr. Shao's description of a beautiful woman is undoubtedly very convincing.

After greeting each other, everyone sat down around the round rattan table, drinking tea and chatting.

This scene doesn't look like a high-level M&A negotiation at all, but more like two generations of grandparents and grandchildren chatting about family matters.

Mr. Shao is now over a hundred years old. He has experienced countless storms and has seen everything. He no longer cares about the things that happen on the scene.

As for Yao Yuan, he controls a huge capital empire with a capital volume of over 3.5 trillion US dollars.

In his eyes, the merger and acquisition of TVB and Shaw Brothers, which was less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, was of no importance at all.

Of course, there is no need to put on airs or go to great lengths to hold a negotiation ceremony. There is no need for that!

He has the final say on the acquisition of TVB and Shaw Brothers Films.

After drinking two cups of tea and chatting about some Olympic-related topics, Mr. Shao took the initiative to get to the point.

"Mr. Yao, when you were at the Hong Kong airport and were leaving for Beijing, didn't you say that you wanted to acquire TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures?"

"I have thought about it for the past two days and discussed it with my wife several times. Now I have decided to sell TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures to Jiuye Investment Group."

"In addition to these two companies, all film and television drama copyrights held by TVB and Shaw Brothers Films are also included and sold to Jiuye Investment Group."

"We are all old and have no energy to run TVB and Shaw Brothers anymore. We have to sell them sooner or later. After much thought, I think Jiuye Investment is the most suitable acquirer."

"As for the transaction price, it is as you said before. It will be sold at a 50% premium based on TVB's current share price. The same goes for Shaw Brothers Pictures."

Hearing this, Yao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"That's great, Mr. Shao, this is exactly the good news I want to hear. Thank you very much for your help."

"Regarding the acquisition price of TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures, we will purchase them at a 50% premium based on the current market price."

"As long as we sign a formal acquisition agreement, I will pay the purchase price immediately without delay."

"In addition to purchasing the shares held by Mr. Shao, I also want to acquire more shares to achieve the goal of absolute control."

“If I cannot receive enough equity, I hope other shareholders can sign a concerted action agreement so that I can also achieve my goal.”

Mr. Shao and his wife looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"No problem. Yihua's shares can be sold together. I will persuade a few old friends to either sell their shares or sign a concerted action agreement to help you achieve your goal."

"But I have a few conditions. First of all, after Jiuye Investment Group takes over TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures, it cannot lay off employees immediately and must retain the original management as much as possible."

"There are many old people who have followed me for decades at TVB and Shaw Brothers Pictures. I don't want them to lose their jobs because of my withdrawal. It would be unfair to them."

"The second condition is that I hope the family foundation can establish a cooperative relationship with Jiuye Investment and ask Mr. Yao to help manage the foundation. We can charge management fees based on market conditions..."

Next, Mr. Shao laid out his conditions on the table one by one, and they all sounded reasonable and sincere.

After he finished his introduction, Yao Yuan thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Okay, Mr. Shao, I can basically agree to all the conditions you proposed, and I can do it."

"Regarding your family foundation, I will arrange a professional team to manage it, and your lawyers and family members can check and supervise the accounts at any time."

"At the end of every quarter, half year, and year, everyone in your family and your lawyer will receive the foundation's financial statements and investment income summary. It will be absolutely open and transparent."

"But one thing is that when the foundation makes overseas investments, it must adhere to the principle of benefiting the country and the nation. Otherwise, I have the right to raise objections, veto the relevant investment, or even terminate the cooperative relationship."

"For example, there are many NGOs with ulterior motives in Hong Kong. The Foundation cannot provide financial support. For such investments, I demand a veto power..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shao and his wife fell silent.
