Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"Boss, Shao Yifu is very determined and won't sell it!"

An Xin was not surprised by this, as it showed that Shao Yifu had no intention of retiring at this time.

After thinking about it, he directly ordered: "We can start our plan."

"Okay, then I'll start implementing the Barbarian Plan!"

"Well, I look forward to your good news."

An Xin hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She turned around and saw Li Hong, who looked confused. She immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Hong asked with a little curiosity: "What is the Barbarian Plan? What bad things are you going to do?"

An Xin walked over and picked up Li Hong, then walked towards the master bedroom, grinning as she walked, "Yes, I'm going to do something bad now!"

"Ah, you bad guy! Let me go!"

...

Yuanfang Securities official trading forum.

[Galaxy Investment formed a consortium of concerted action persons and suddenly raised its stake in TVB, claiming to acquire TVB in its entirety]

Hot-blooded stockholders: Who is Galaxy Investment? Why does it want to acquire TVB?

Greedy ghost: Don’t care about the background of Galaxy Investment. They have spent more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire a 16.5% stake in TVB, which shows that they are not short of money and are serious about a full acquisition!

Dugu Qiubai: The share price of TVB is HK$43 per share. A full acquisition would cost HK$188.49 billion. I am not optimistic that Galaxy Investment can have the funds to complete the full-year acquisition.

Stock God: The person above, you are out of date, TVB has risen to 50.6 Hong Kong dollars!

Dugu Qiubai: Oh my god, how come it is increasing so fast?

Stock God: Didn’t you see the title? A 10% premium for a full acquisition. Do you understand what that means? You are so stupid!

Stock market overlord: Hahahaha, I just bought TVB yesterday, and the average price of opening a position was HK$43.1. I didn’t expect pie to fall from the sky. I’m so lucky, hahaha!

Stock God: You dare to scream at 43.1 Hong Kong dollars? Look at mine! Picture.jpg

Stocks come and go: I lost, 33.2 Hong Kong dollars?

短炒：重点不是33.2港币的建仓价，而是132万股吧？按照50.6港币的现价，132万股价值6679.2万港币…

Stock Your Mother: He has currently made a floating profit of 2296.8 million Hong Kong dollars...

Value Investor: 33.2 Hong Kong dollars? Look at mine. Picture.jpg

Stock God: Damn you, 29 Hong Kong dollars? When did you enter the market in the s?

Value Investor: May 04.

Gu Laodao: Only 29 Hong Kong dollars, look at mine. Picture.jpg

Value Investor: 22.6 Hong Kong dollars? This is the time to enter the market in the s, right? I admire you!

The Yuanfang Securities Trading Forum went off track, triggering a trend of stockholders posting their entry prices and profits...

In fact, it was not just Yuanfang Securities Trading Forum. After Luxi used the shell company Galaxy Investment and other shell companies to form a consortium of persons acting in concert to hold up TVB and claimed to acquire TVB in full at a premium, it directly detonated the Hong Kong stock market!

You have to know that this is TVB, the unshakable super overlord in Hong Kong’s media industry!

Now someone is planning to take advantage of it?

How will Uncle Six handle this matter?

But those shareholders who hold TVB shares don’t care about all this!

This is a hostile takeover! Will the stock price soar?

So they celebrated and were overjoyed.

...

Chairman's Office, TVB Headquarters, 77 Chun Choi Street, Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, Sai Kung District, New Territories.

Unlike the jubilant shareholders, Run Run Shaw, the actual controller of TVB, looked a little dazed when he saw the real-time stock price of TVB displayed on his computer.

After a while, he turned his head to look at his old lover Fang Yihua and slowly said, "The stock price has risen to 51.8 Hong Kong dollars. Don't you know the background of Galaxy Investment?"

Fang Yihua, whose appearance had faded, thought for a moment, shook her head and replied, "Yifu, I asked all the management, and they all said they didn't know."

"I was wondering, could it be that some old acquaintance has set his sights on TVB?"

"For example, Liu? He is the most aggressive person in Hong Kong. He always snipes at this and that, making everyone feel uneasy!"

Liu: Oh my god!

Shao Yifu shook his head and said, "It's not Liu. Liu is much calmer now. He hasn't played this game for many years."

"As for the other old acquaintances, I don't think that's right either! Let me think about it!"

As Shao Yifu was talking, he seemed to have thought of something and fell into memories.

After a while, Shao Yifu finally remembered!

Previously, someone introduced by He Zhuolin contacted me and asked if I had any plans to sell TVB. I directly refused at that time.

Could it be him?

Yes, it can only be him!

After confirming the information, Shao Yifu did not hesitate and picked up his phone to call He Zhuolin.

At this time, He Zhuolin had just arrived at the director's office in the Bank of China Building and was about to sit down and read the newspaper when he heard his cell phone ringing.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the caller - Uncle Six. He quickly answered the call and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Six, good morning!"

"Good morning? I'm not feeling well right now! And maybe I'll have to ask you to send me away someday!"

???

He Zhuolin was confused: "Sixth Uncle, how did I offend you? Why do you feel so resentful?"

Shao Yifu on this side was amused. After taking two quick breaths, he said resentfully, "Zhuo Lin, the person you introduced wants to take over my foundation, and you're still asking how he's offended me?"

"The person I introduced wants to take away your inheritance?"

He Zhuolin was a little confused, but soon remembered one thing. He had introduced Shao Yifu to An Xin's subordinate Lu Xi. Could it be him?

"Uncle Six, is that Lu Xi?"

After thinking for a while, Shao Yifu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it was this person named Lu Xi, who spoke Mandarin and asked TVB if it would be sold. Do you think I can sell it?"

He Zhuolin was still a little confused: "Sixth Uncle, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. What does this have to do with seizing the foundation?"

As soon as Shao Yifu heard this, he knew that He Zhuolin didn't know what was going on, so he immediately explained: "This Lu Xi raised a 16.5% stake in TVB today, and at the same time claimed that he wanted to fully acquire TVB at a premium. Isn't this a seizure of the foundation?"

"what?"

He Zhuolin was dumbfounded, and a thousand horses were galloping through his heart in an instant.

I was tricked by An Xin!

"Zhuo Lin, if you don't want to sell, you're going to maliciously acquire it. Is there anyone who does this?"

What does this have to do with being a human being?

He Zhuolin frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Uncle Six, this happened suddenly, and I don't know what happened yet. How about this, I'll go ask about the details first, and then contact you later, okay?"

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

After hanging up the phone, He Zhuolin did not dare to delay and directly called An Xin.

"Hello? Mr. He?"

Hearing An Xin's calm voice coming from the microphone, He Zhuolin said with a little resentment: "Mr. An, you can't do this well, right?"

An Xin understood what He Zhuolin was referring to, and asked with a little curiosity: "Did Mr. Shao call you?"

"Yeah, Uncle Six just scolded me like a bitch!"

An Xin said apologetically, "It seems that I have implicated Mr. He. I am so sorry!"

"I don't mind, but the problem is that Uncle Six has a very bad temper and is very difficult to deal with!"

An Xin smiled and said, "What does Mr. Shao's situation have to do with me?"

"Ah? That's Uncle Six, you bought it..."

An Xin interrupted He Zhuolin directly: "Is there any problem with acquiring TVB? Raising a stake and issuing a premium acquisition announcement, isn't this a normal procedure?"

"You can't even go through the normal procedures to acquire TVB, right?"

"Why? Hong Kong law stipulates that TVB is Run Run Shaw's independent kingdom. Anyone who touches it is breaking the law."

...

He Zhuolin was silent for a long time before he spoke faintly, "Sixth Uncle has a lot of connections, you may not be able to succeed."

An Xin said indifferently: "If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Then he has to buy back my shares, right? Otherwise, how can he trust me to join the TVB board of directors?"

He Zhuolin came to his senses a little: "Mr. An, do you have other purposes?"

An Xin did not intend to hide it from He Zhuolin, and immediately confessed: "I originally wanted to acquire TVB in full, but I found that TVB's equity structure is a bit complicated. If I want to take over, the price I pay will be very high."

"In that case, I can only settle for the next best thing and plan to get some other rewards. After all, I can't work for nothing."

He Zhuolin was really annoyed: "Mr. An, please tell me what you like about TVB first. I can talk to Uncle Six and try my best to get it. There is no need to make a big fuss!"

"Try your best?"

An Xin was happy and asked a core question with a smile: "Mr. He, you know Shao Yifu's personality better than me. Do you think he is willing to talk to me under normal circumstances?"

...

He Zhuolin was silent.

An Xin is right. What kind of personality does Shao Yifu have?

Stingy, miserly, cold-blooded, profit-oriented, and cannot tolerate even the slightest grain of sand in the eyes!

When it comes to the core interests of TVB, let alone peace of mind, even Run Run Shaw’s own children are out of the question!

This is not nonsense. For various reasons, Run Run Shaw's four children would rather not have any property and chose to completely sever ties with him.

In fact, there is one thing that has not happened yet, but will definitely happen in the future: after Run Run Shaw passed away, all his children not only missed the funeral, but also publicly issued a statement saying that they had nothing to do with Run Run Shaw and would not inherit any of his inheritance.

This is a legacy worth tens of billions, but the four children chose to give it up without hesitation.

This is enough to show how much of a failure Shao Yifu is as a human being!

"Mr. He, I don't want to do this either, but Shao Yifu is too outrageous. I have no other choice!"

He Zhuolin opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just uttered: "Maybe you are right."

"But Mr. An, things have to be resolved."

"Isn't it being solved? It will be solved when Shao Yifu can't bear it anymore."

"But isn't this solution too overbearing? It will affect your personal image!"

"What does this have to do with me? Wasn't this all Lu Xi's doing?"

"what?"

He Zhuolin was completely stunned by An Xin's shamelessness!

An Xin could probably imagine He Zhuolin's expression at this moment, so she laughed and said, "Mr. He, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

You don't sound like you're kidding.

He Zhuolin secretly complained in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Mr. An, what do you want from TVB?"

...

After thinking for a while, An Xin decided to reveal his ultimate goal: "Copyright! I want to buy out the Internet copyright of all TVB movies and TV series!"

"Buy out the Internet copyrights of all TVB movies and TV series?"

He Zhuolin was very surprised: "Is this just a small thing worth fussing about?"

An Xin smiled bitterly when she heard this. In fact, she couldn't blame He Zhuolin for his reaction.

The main reason is that the Internet copyrights of the 2006 film and television dramas are too cheap!

Would you like to know the licensing price of HK$4 to HK$500 per episode per year?

It’s a super cheap price!

The problem is that the future increase in film and television drama copyrights is really terrifying!

In 2006, it would only cost about or million Hong Kong dollars to package the Internet copyrights of all TVB-authorized film and television dramas.

By 2008, this figure had become 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

By 2010, this figure had become 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

By 2012, this figure had become 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

By 2014, this figure had become 7 million Hong Kong dollars.

By 2016, this figure had become 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

By 2022, this figure had become 7 million Hong Kong dollars.

Why did it fall in 2022? Because starting from 2018, TVB movies and TV series need to be reviewed before entering the mainland...

But this is obviously not a problem for An Xin. He has absolute confidence in obtaining the review exemption and continuing to maintain high growth in copyright revenue.

It can be said that as long as you obtain the Internet copyright of all TVB's film and television dramas, you will be able to enjoy the copyright income which is likely to increase by more than 100 times. This income is much more impressive than China Real Estate!

Moreover, this is a long-term business. As long as you have the copyright, you can make a living from it for fifty years!

After An Xin pondered for a moment, she slowly said, "Mr. He, let me be frank. The copyright of the film and television drama is related to my future layout, and I absolutely cannot afford to lose it."

"Not only will I buy out the Internet copyrights of all TVB's films and TV series, I will also continue to buy out the Internet copyrights of other Hong Kong films and TV series."

"As for whether the copyright holder is willing to sell it, that is their own business."

"If you're willing to sell, I'll make friends with you. If you're not willing to sell, then I'll consider other ways to get it."

"I have enough money and patience for this."

Only a fool would miss out on this cash cow with guaranteed income of billions every year!

...

He Zhuolin felt that today was really an eye-opener for he encountered all kinds of weird things.

After thinking for a while, He Zhuolin proposed a solution: "Mr. An, let me provide a solution."

"I can convince Uncle Six to sell you all of TVB's Internet copyrights for movies and TV series, but once you get these copyrights, you must immediately stop the hostile takeover and sell all of your TVB shares to Uncle Six. Then both sides can shake hands and make peace. What do you think?"

He Zhuolin's solution is actually similar to An Xin's ultimate goal.

But An Xin still added some conditions: "Mr. He, I agree with the basic framework of this solution, but I need to break down the specific terms."

"The Internet copyright buyout price for TVB dramas and variety shows is set at HK$3000 per episode, and the Internet copyright buyout price for movies is set at HK$5 per movie."

"As for wanting to buy back our TVB shares, that's no problem."

"But Shaw needs to cooperate with us to implement a TVB stock trading plan first, so that we can release most of the shares through the secondary market, and then we can sell the remaining shares to him."

"Mr. An is really taking advantage of others!"

He Zhuolin has become completely numb.

An Xin smiled cheerfully and said, "Mr. He, everything is fine within the rules."

He Zhuolin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "That's not wrong, but it's easy to offend people!"

"Okay, let's finalize this solution. I'll go and persuade Uncle Six now, and I'll notify Mr. An when there's a result!"

"Okay, I look forward to good news from Mr. He."
