Chapter 91 The Unknown Inside Story

Normal people who want to see the Governor must make an appointment with the Governor's Mansion. Only after the appointment is approved can they meet with Maliho, and most people do not have this opportunity.

With Su City's current status, there is no need to go through these procedures. You can just make a private phone call to the Governor's office.

Therefore, Su Cheng called Mailihao's office in Yang Chaoye's office. When the other party heard that Su Cheng wanted to see him, he asked him to go directly to the Governor's Mansion.

Su Cheng looked at the time on his watch. It was 04:30 in the afternoon, which was still early.

After saying goodbye to Yang Chaoye, Su Cheng asked the driver to drive directly to the Governor's Mansion.

Arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Su Cheng arrived at the Governor's Office with ease and no staff stopped him on the way.

Obviously, they have received the notice from Mailihao, and there are not many people in Xiangjiang who don't know Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, we just met yesterday, why do you want to see me today?" Mailihao asked curiously.

"Mr. Governor, do you know the situation of Jiayi TV?" Su Cheng asked.

"Of course, I am the Governor of Xiangjiang after all, so I understand the situation of Jiayi TV." Mailihao said with a smile.

In order to save Jiashi, Jiashi's general manager Zhou Liang Shuyi launched the "July Offensive" for Jiashi on July 1978, 7, and carried out large-scale publicity activities in Hong Kong, including publishing the whole story in many newspapers for several days in a row. advertisements and audio tapes were distributed at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to promote the new program.

"July Offensive" includes many major dramas: "Celebrity Love" starring Cheng Yuling and Michelle, "The Golden Sword" directed by Tsui Hark and starring Yu Anan, plus "Mystery Theater", "Vanguard", and At that time, the adult talk show "Hello Night Homecoming" was pioneered by Hong Kong TV media.

Unfortunately, after the launch of "July Offensive", the results and ratings growth were not as expected.

At the same time, due to the large amount of money spent, Jiashi's working capital was quickly exhausted. Now Jiashi can no longer survive for long.

"I want to take over Jiashi!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"If you want to take over Jiashi, you can go directly to their shareholders to buy shares. If someone else wants to run the TV station, I may object, but I have no objection to Mr. Su." Mailihao said with a smile.

"Mr. Governor, I believe you also know the reason why Jiashi cannot make a profit. You approved the establishment of Jiashi at the beginning, but because it could only operate a Chinese channel, and it had to use part of its time to broadcast educational programs, this also led to It is very difficult for Jiashi to make a profit, so I hope to get the support of Mr. Governor, and after I take over Jiashi, I can add TV channels." Su Cheng said very directly.

If more TV channels can be added to broadcast educational programs, it will not be a problem at all. Just use any channel to broadcast them.

This is the case with TVB and Li TV. They put educational programs on channels with low ratings, so as to avoid wasting resources on TVs with high ratings.

Jiayi TV is different. It only has one Chinese channel. In other words, this educational program inevitably takes up a lot of time, and it is still a full 6 and a half hours.

The Hong Kong government stipulates that JIS must be used for TV teaching from 14:18 to 21:23 and 30:[-] to [-]:[-] every day. Some of these times are even during prime time.

The family is trying to kill some time watching TV together, but you're showing an educational program, so who wants to watch it?Six and a half important hours are missing in a day, and no matter how much Jiashi saves it, there is nothing it can do to save it.

"Mr. Su, this is going to make it difficult for me. The condition when we issued the license to Jiayi TV was that Jiayi needed to spend part of its time broadcasting educational programs. We hope that Jiayi TV will develop into an educational TV station. This is what they If I change my responsibilities easily, what will be the use of the conditions I set at the beginning?" Mailihao said helplessly.

"Mr. Governor, if you can't even help with this, I doubt whether my decision to invest heavily in Xiangjiang is the right choice!" Su Cheng said with some anger.

It's not a threat, but it can be done with half the effort.

With a large investment of his level, where would he not be a guest?If you go to Singapore to invest, maybe the government will send someone to serve you specifically. If you want policies, just ask for them.

And he also knows that whether it can work or not is actually a matter of Mai Lihao's words, and the people below have no objection at all.

"Mr. Su, please don't worry. I can discuss with the TV Advisory Committee whether this matter needs to be changed." MacLehose also knew that if he refused, it would be a bit unkind. He had just asked people to invest heavily in Hong Kong, and in the blink of an eye, even This little thing can't be done.

And he also knows that the background of the Su family is completely innocent. Su's father has been in Xiangjiang for many years and is just a real businessman. As for Su City, there is no problem. Not only does he own huge assets in Xiangjiang, but even last month He even went to the UK to invest.

If Su City controls a TV station, there should be no problem.

"Then I hope to hear the good news from Mr. Governor as soon as possible. By the way, Mr. Governor, I heard that the government is now investigating Jiashi?" Su Cheng's expression returned to normal. He knew that since Mailihao said this, then this matter It should be considered done.

"When Jiashi was founded, He Zuozhi of Xiangjiang Commercial Radio was the major shareholder and general manager. This is what we hope to see. Before issuing the license, we also stated that we could not change the controlling shareholder at will, but they have done something What?
In less than two years, the shares were sold. He Zuozhi was originally the major shareholder of Jiashi, but now Lin Xiufeng has become the major shareholder without our consent, and he is still injecting capital, so at the end of last year we The Television Advisory Committee was sent to investigate and it was clear that they had violated the rules without authorization. "

Mailihao told the apparent reason. As for the real reason, he would naturally not say it himself. .

In fact, Su Cheng has received some more detailed information from Xiao Ai. The reason why the Governor's Office opposed the Lin family's gradual increase in capital and their eventual control of Jiashi was because the Lin family was suspected of being Chinese investors. As a result, the Governor's Office would naturally not allow them. Take control of a TV station.

Lin Xiufeng of the Lin family is the son of Lin Bingyan, one of the founders of Hengsheng Bank.

Why Hengsheng Bank was eventually taken over by Huifeng Bank for its own use? Obviously, there is a big secret behind it!
You know, the TV station can control the direction of public opinion. Now is a critical period in Hong Kong. How could the colonial government let a potentially wealthy family control the TV station!

In this regard, Su Cheng understood that everyone had his own country. As the governor of Xiangjiang, Mailihao naturally regarded the interests of Britain as his own responsibility.

Today, Su Cheng is at least a neutral businessman on the surface, with no sign of wealth. This is why Mailihao is polite to him.

"Mr. Governor, then I'll be waiting for your good news. I hope it won't keep me waiting for a long time. I urgently need a TV station to advertise the products of my two groups. I'm here today, so I won't disturb Mr. Governor." Yes." Su Cheng smiled.

"Okay, Mr. Su, please go slowly. I will give you a reply within two days at most." Mailihao stood up and said.
