Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"Are you saying that the other party's acquisition is just for the Internet copyright of TVB's film and television dramas?"

After Ho Cheuk-lin hurried to the TVB chairman's office and explained the situation in detail, Shaw Yi-fu asked in a daze.

He Zhuolin smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Yes, the other party got this 16.5% TVB equity by chance, and then when browsing the relevant asset information, he took a fancy to the Internet copyright of TVB's film and television dramas."

Shaw Yi-fu really didn't understand this approach: "If the other party wanted the Internet copyright of TVB's films and TV series, they could just come to me and negotiate. Why make such a fuss?"

Don’t you have any idea who you are?

He Zhuolin secretly complained in his heart, then coughed twice to clear his throat, and replied very vaguely: "I don't know what the other party is thinking."

Fang Yihua directly asked a core question: "Zhuo Lin, who is the other party?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yifu turned his head and looked at He Zhuolin, his cloudy eyes full of curiosity.

He Zhuolin was a little embarrassed at this time.

Because Anxin has said many times before that he wants to keep a low profile, and he also hopes that his friends will try not to disclose his personal information.

Mrs. Shao Yi was very experienced and knew at a glance that this question made He Zhuolin feel embarrassed, so she thought for a while and said, "Zhuolin, I don't ask you to disclose the other party's identity. Just tell me what will happen if you don't agree to sell the Internet copyright of TVB's film and television dramas."

He Zhuolin thought about it and threw an atomic bomb at the two of them: "The Xu family is in trouble because they offended each other!"

"Faraway Financial Group?"

"Xu family?"

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua exclaimed in surprise.

Haha, are you stupid?

He Zhuolin was secretly happy, but his face was very serious when he confirmed: "Yes, it is Yuanfang Financial Group!"

"Some time ago, the Xu family offended Yuanfang Financial Group because of the equity issue of Yingke Insurance Company. They never thought that Yuanfang Financial Group was not a pushover. Through the Xu family, they caught a large number of MI6 spies, which directly created the most sensational news in Hong Kong this year!"

After getting confirmation from He Zhuolin, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua looked at each other, with a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

You have to know that their stance back then was not as pro-China as it is now. Instead, they were more inclined towards Britain, and they even cooperated with British capital in some propaganda in private!

Although we have gained the understanding of the mainland after the crazy donations of buildings in recent years.

However, if Yuanfang Financial Group deliberately digs up past secrets, it will probably cause a stir.

The most important thing is that both of them are already old, and they might die at any time. If they die with a bad reputation on their backs, they will be ashamed to face their ancestors!

He Zhuolin looked at the two people's changing expressions and immediately realized that his guidance worked!

We all live in Hong Kong, so who doesn’t know each other’s weaknesses?

Shao Yifu was indeed a man who had experienced many ups and downs. He made a choice quickly, looked at He Zhuolin calmly and asked, "Zhuolin, in addition to copyright, does Yuanfang Financial Group have any other requirements?"

"Have!"

He Zhuolin nodded, and then continued, "Yuanfang Financial Group hopes that you can cooperate with their TVB stock trading plan."

"They plan to hype up TVB's stock price, then sell off a portion of their shares in the secondary market, and the remaining shares can be transferred to Uncle Six at a suitable price."

Shao Yifu nodded slowly and lowered his head to think.

After a while, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "What's the price for buying out the copyright? You can't just give four or five hundred Hong Kong dollars and buy it out, right?"

"How can it be so low!"

He Zhuolin shook his head to deny it, and then revealed the buyout price: "Their offer is still very reasonable. The buyout price for each episode of a TV series or variety show is 3000 Hong Kong dollars, and the buyout price for each movie is 5 Hong Kong dollars."

After hearing the buyout price, Shao Yifu breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhuo Lin, this price is indeed very reasonable!"

"It seems that Yuanfang Financial Group is not that kind of greedy vampire!"

After hearing what Shao Yifu said, He Zhuolin felt a sense of weirdness!

What is the basic monthly salary of TVB actors?

8000 Hong Kong dollars!

How much is the monthly salary if you work in a random tea restaurant?

10000 Hong Kong dollars!

Being an actor in TVB is worse than working in a tea restaurant!

To be honest, when it comes to exploitation, oppression, and vampires, no one in Hong Kong is more outrageous than Run Run Shaw!

Mrs. Shao Yi was very experienced. She knew what He Zhuolin was thinking as soon as she saw his erratic expression. She explained, "Zhuolin, it's hard for me too. It's very difficult to maintain the operation of TVB, so we have to save some money."

???

No, do you still have any shame?

TVB’s net profit last year was more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!

He Zhuolin was stunned by Shao Yifu's shamelessness. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, it's not easy for everyone."

Shao Yifu didn't really care about He Zhuolin's perfunctory attitude. After all, they were all decent people and it was enough to just save face.

"By the way, Zhuo Lin, at what price does Yuanfang Financial Group plan to raise the price of TVB before it starts selling its shares?"

"About 65-70 Hong Kong dollars."

After Shao Yifu pondered for a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay, this price is not bad!"

"By the way, does Yuanfang Financial Group want more Internet copyrights for Hong Kong movies and TV series?"

"Oh?"

He Zhuolin didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise, and he instantly became interested: "Sixth Uncle, do you have a solution?"

Shaw Yi-fu waved his hand and replied domineeringly: "As long as Far Eastern Financial Group can offer the same buyout price as TVB, I can help secure the copyrights of other film and television media companies in Hong Kong!"

He Zhuolin actually believed what Shao Yifu said!

After all, he has been the overlord of Hong Kong's media industry for decades, so it's not surprising that he has this ability!

"Uncle Six, are there any conditions?"

Shao Yifu did not respond immediately. He was thinking about what conditions he should offer.

After a long while, he looked at He Zhuolin with a smile and said:

"I want to participate in the TVB stock trading plan of Yuanfang Financial Group!"

"Besides, the target price of HK$6 or HK$70 is too low. Let's push it up to HK$100. No, HK$150 is not impossible!"

He Zhuolin was silent.

People nowadays are more outrageous than each other. It seems like I am a bit behind the times!

"Uncle Six, based on 150 Hong Kong dollars, TVB's market value exceeds 650 billion Hong Kong dollars. Is this realistic?"

Shao Yifu smiled: "Zhuo Lin, if all major shareholders cooperate, why is it unrealistic?"

"All the major shareholders?"

Shao Yifu nodded slightly, and then explained with a little excitement:

“Yes, all major shareholders!”

"Yihua and I hold 34.23%, Yuanfang Financial Group holds 16.5%, Wing Hang Bank holds 16.2%, JPMorgan Chase holds 6.46%, and Chen Guoqiang holds 5.36%. These alone add up to 78.75%."

"As long as we, the major shareholders, work together, can we control the market however we want?"

He Zhuolin pondered for a moment and asked a core question:

“How do you deal with regulatory issues?”

Shao Yifu laughed loudly, spread his hands and said indifferently:

"Regulation? What regulation?"

"Oh, you mean the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission?"

"It's very simple. Will a dog bite its owner?"

"Zhuo Lin, the He family is a famous and prestigious family in Hong Kong after all. Why is your thinking so rigid?"

He Zhuolin is completely numb...
