Chapter 408 Entering TVB
Chapter 408 Entering TVB
Wang Kuancheng swept his trouser legs in disdain, and said impatiently: "You know how to beg for mercy when you are beaten. Last time I asked you to go back to Ningbo to donate to a primary school, you pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended you didn't hear it."
Cao Guangbiao, wearing a brown jacket, sat on the sofa next to him and said in a gentle voice: "Fellow countrymen should help each other more."
Bao Yugang smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "On political matters, the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce should have a new stance. Brother Cheng, help Shao Sheng and set an example for the Chamber of Commerce."
Wang Kuancheng took a long breath and said with emotion: "Not only Zhejiang businessmen, but all Hong Kong businessmen should have a role model to see the consequences of following the foreigners and following the country."
Shao Yifu immediately realized that there was a way out, bowed his head and thanked him, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Brother Cheng. Shaw will definitely set a good example for Hong Kong businessmen."
“Let our colleagues in the business community take this as a warning!”
This is not a glorious example of buying bones at a high price, but a negative example of legal punishment. The status of the film and television tycoon was directly trampled into the mud.
But with the guarantee of Zhejiang business tycoons such as Wang Kuancheng and Bao Yuguang, at least there is guarantee that there will be no liquidation afterwards.
As for what price he will pay in a few days, Shenxiantang will have the final say. If a few people interfere too much, it will be bad.
Li Dasan had a good personal relationship with Shao Yifu and reminded him: "While Yin Zhaotang has not yet reached an agreement with the mainland, you should show your ability as soon as possible. Maybe you can make up for your loss."
Shaw Yifu was already confused and dazed. He nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes, I should take the initiative. Shaw will donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the mainland to support the education construction in the mainland."
"Together with Brother Cheng, we will build schools and provide financial aid to students in the country."
Wang Kuancheng himself is a role model. When donating airplanes to the country, he called on Hong Kong businessmen to donate supplies on behalf of the country's lack of military equipment.
Donating to universities and supporting education in the country means that the country is vigorously developing education and improving the quality of the people. To get closer to the mainland, all we need to do is learn from him.
This is a passage that is always open. There is no reason to close it. Wang Kuancheng felt relieved for the sake of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. He lit a cigarette and said unhappily, "Go home and bandage your wound. Be careful not to rot your hands."
At this time, the back of Shao Yifu's fractured hand was still bruised and looked a bit miserable. After losing his walking stick, he walked carefully to the door: "Brother Cheng, Bao Sheng, Brother Biao, I'm leaving first. See you next time."
Seeing Shao Yifu's desperate escape, Cao Guangbiao looked solemn and said with great fear: "Shenxiantang's political tactics are not like those of Young and Dangerous at all."
"The combination of hardness and softness, with rules and regulations, made Shao Sheng surrender."
Bao Yugang disagrees with Cao Guangbiao's attitude: "Do you look down on the Young and Dangerous? The underworld is part of society. Those who can climb to the top must understand politics."
"Besides, Yin Zhaotang started from scratch and brought Zhongyitang back to prominence. He is truly a business genius."
In fact, Run Run Shaw had another choice, which was to grit his teeth and fight Yin Zhaotang to the end, using the capital brought by Shaw Brothers Films and TVB to collude with the foreigners and recruit powerful people from below.
Let’s have a big go with Yin Zhaotang.
But even if Yin Zhaotang was defeated, if the 97 return really came, Shaw Brothers would still be held accountable.
Sixty-five-year-old Shao Yifu has lost his enterprising spirit in business, so how could he dare to be greedy and reckless in politics?
Using cinema chains, distribution companies and real estate as fields, and TVB, Huaxing and Shaw Brothers as channels to bring water into the fields, and to be a landlord and skin people for the rest of his life, was Shaw Yifu's final ambition.
That's why he has always wanted to play both sides and change his stance according to the situation. He has no guts to do that and it is even more impossible for him to go all in with the Hong Kong British authorities.
Who dares to wait in a losing game?
It’s better to surrender.
Investing in Zhonghe Electronics of Yin Zhaotang, at first glance, seems to be a sign of underestimating Yin Zhaotang. But upon closer thought, it seems that they haven't yet figured it out. They still think that it's easy to be deceived in China, and that investing in a pro-China company is the same as getting on board?
You are dreaming too much and cannot recognize the reality.
If we look into the root cause, Shao Yifu still has bargaining chips in his hand. He was just toppled by clever political means and did not lose everything completely, so he has room for bargaining.
In history, before 84, TVB ignored the mainland's dissuasion and, through its programs, intentionally or unintentionally supported the white people's pursuit of ruling power.
It's nothing more than using the artists' mouths to cover up the truth and make it difficult for people to make trouble.
After 84, when the Sino-British negotiations were settled, Run Run Shaw immediately set up a foundation to donate money. He acted quickly and donated more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to the mainland over the past few decades. Logically speaking, Run Run Shaw should be a typical patriotic Hong Kong businessman and receive much publicity. However, in fact, apart from the title of philanthropic entrepreneur awarded by the Charity Federation, he has no other title.
He did not obtain any right to participate in politics or discuss state affairs in the country, nor did he receive any political honors or titles.
It only obtained the renewal of TVB's filming rights to ensure that TVB could continue to operate.
Wang Kuancheng had a different opinion, and he spoke forcefully, "Why must Atang be so powerful, and not the foreigner who is so incompetent? It is because the foreigner is incompetent that Shao Laoliu fell so quickly!"
"A British junior knight worth two thousand dollars fully demonstrates the corruption of the foreigners."
Everyone was silent and had no words to say.
Captain John didn't understand Cantonese, but he seemed to understand that he was being used by Yin Zhaotang, but he didn't care. He just kept chasing after Dabu Niu: "Give me two thousand more, give me two thousand more."
Dabu Niu said irritably, "We agreed on 10,000, not a penny more!"
Nine p.m.
Wan Chai, Golden Palace Nightclub.
Yin Zhaotang gave Liang Manping an oral report, and Liang Manping frowned and said, "Does Shao Yifu still want to rely on the British and foreigners to become a cultural comprador for the Chinese in Hong Kong Island?"
"The old ideas from decades ago really haven't made any progress at all."
Yin Zhaotang shook the ice ball in his glass, dressed in a suit and tie, sitting in the box, leaning his elbow on the lady's shoulder, and said frankly: "I want to eat TVB!"
Liang Manping drank whiskey and analyzed seriously: "TVB has not yet been publicly listed. If you want to take over TVB, you need a lot of money."
Publicly listed companies have the opportunity to take advantage of the bear market and buy stocks at low prices. Unlisted companies can only look for shareholders to buy them out, or wait for others to sell.
Under-the-table transactions require more vision and more money.
Yin Zhaotang said: "As long as you support me, I can take over TVB."
Liang Manping raised his glass: "I definitely support you, Atang."
The next day, morning.
As soon as Liang Manping arrived at the office of the Dashe Society, he received a report from Run Run Shaw applying to establish an education foundation in China and intending to donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
This should have been a matter of great publicity and worthy of celebration, but he wrote a report and submitted it to the country, pointing out that Run Run Shaw was not suitable to be in charge of television media.
In the afternoon, he specially convened a symposium with Hong Kong businessmen, pointing out that "Hong Kong media should be controlled by Hong Kong people, not the British." Politics immediately affects the economy.
When the news leaked, the media and press were in an uproar.
That day, in the evening.
Wutaishan Television Building, Broadcast Road, Kowloon Tong.
In the chairman's office, Shaw Yi-fu placed the newly drafted cooperation agreement on the table: "Mr. Yin, please review the cooperation terms between Huaxing and Zhonghe and the equity transfer agreement of TVB first."
"If there is anything wrong, feel free to re-draft it."
