1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 562: Distribution of inheritance!

Shao Yi-fu was so angry that he almost laughed.

He tolerated the boy buying Li's products. After all, the boy had his own business empire. Although there would be conflicts between the two parties at that time, he couldn't stop him from buying.

If you recognize someone as your fellow townsman, you are a fellow townsman. If you don’t recognize them, you are nothing.

So Shao Yi-fu didn't plan to say anything.

But letting Shao Weiming be the head of ATV is a bit too much.

Is this a competition between the father and son of the Shaw Brothers?
My son is going against me?
"Ayang, if you have any other intentions, please tell me all of them."

Shao Yifu said in a cold voice at this moment.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "Sixth uncle, I really don't have any intentions!"

"I can't bear the responsibility of calling you Sixth Uncle!"

Although Shao Yifu's tone was gentle at this moment, everyone could hear the meaning contained in it.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Sixth Uncle, this is what I think. Please wait for me to finish speaking, and then you can see if what I said makes sense."

"Oh? Say it!"

At this moment, Shao Yifu glanced at Li Changhe and said lightly.

He wanted to see what kind of nonsense Li Changhe could come up with.

Li Changhe didn't care either.

"Uncle Six, from what we can see right now, Ms. Fang has taken sole control of the power at TVB, right?"

"I'll just say something for the time being, and you'll just listen."

"When you sold Shaw Cinemas to me, it was actually a division of your family property."

"The cinema chain and Shaw Brothers were left to Brother Weiming, and you took charge of TVB. But TVB as a whole is now the industry that Ms. Fang is in charge of."

"But Uncle Six, there is a more realistic problem. You and Ms. Fang have no children, so in the end, all the property will probably have to be inherited by Brother Weiming and his four siblings, right?"

"Ms. Fang is four years older than Brother Weiming, so their career stages are similar."

"Do you think that after a few decades, Brother Weiming will be willing to take over a TVB that is full of Ms. Fang's mark?"

"Or Brother Wei Zhong and the others, are they willing?"

Li Changhe said calmly, while Shao Yifu sat there calmly.

This guy, is he now openly discussing his inheritance?

He really deserves to be called Bao, the daring Bao!
However, although Shao Yifu was angry, he actually knew what Li Changhe meant.

He is already 74 years old. It is impossible for him to have a child with Fang Yihua at this age.

This is also the reason why he insisted on letting Fang Yihua join TVB. This woman has also been with him for 30 years, and he has to leave some protection for her.

If all the properties were left to Shao Weiming and others, then there was no doubt that Fang Yihua would not get much.

But as Li Changhe said, since they have no children, after Fang Yihua passes away, that part of the property will still have to be left to their descendants.

But what Li Changhe said also made sense. Fang Yihua and Shao Weiming were only four years apart in age, and their career periods almost overlapped.

In the future, when I am gone, the two of them will definitely fight. After all, Fang Yihua is no longer the weak woman she used to be, but a decisive and ruthless business woman.

So now Shao Yi-fu is still worried about the issue of succession.

He was already seventy-four years old, and he would never have imagined that he would live to be one hundred and seven.

For Shao Yi-fu, the family business must be left to future generations, but Fang Yihua must also be given sufficient protection. It is really difficult to find a balance between the two.

"Ayang, what do you mean? Just tell me clearly!"

Shao Yifu stared at Bao Zeyang and said calmly.

He always felt that this guy might be planning something again?
"I think it's very simple. At TVB, Ms. Fang holds all the power. As for ATV, I will let big brother Weiming take charge. Then the two of them can fight each other!"

"Whoever has the greater ability will naturally win!"

"If Ms. Fang is more powerful and TVB continues to rise under her leadership, then I think no matter what decision you make in the future, Brother Weiming will definitely understand. After all, he lost the fair competition, so there is nothing to say."

"On the other hand, if Ms. Fang loses, I think Brother Weiming doesn't need to keep an eye on TVB and just leave it to her generously."

"And if Ms. Fang also leaves in the future, TVB will still return to the hands of the Shaw family."

"My idea is that by then, Rediffusion Television can be merged with TVB, and one TV station will be enough for Hong Kong Island."

"The two companies merged, divided the shares, and worked together to create an Asian-level Chinese TV station. I think it wouldn't be difficult at that time."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

After hearing this, Shao Yi-fu was a little surprised.

"Are you willing to let Rediffusion Television merge with TVB? Will Weiming still be in power at that time?"

"Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with Shaw taking charge. As long as we do a good job, why not?"

“Any company that relies on being the only dominant player will not last long.”

"And this is just an expectation for the future. No one can say how many years it will take to be realized."

"What if you live to be a hundred years old? Then we still have 20 to 30 years to go!"

Li Changhe said jokingly with a smile at this time.

After listening to this, Shao Yifu also smiled.

Longevity?

It sounded auspicious, but he didn't dare to hope for it.

"You mean, let Weiming use Rediffusion TV to compete with TVB, and the winner will depend on the ability of both parties?"

"But you have plenty of money. If you keep providing funding to Wei Ming, TVB will not be able to win no matter how capable it is!"

Shao Yifu continued calmly at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I won't provide Li with unlimited funds."

“And the positioning of Rediffusion Television in my opinion is actually quite different from that of TVB.”

"In fact, I think that if this is the case, Brother Weiming can compete with Ms. Fang."

"No matter who wins or loses, both of them have guaranteed Ms. Fang's position in TVB."

"I think in this case, Uncle Six, you don't have to worry about the future arrangements for them."

At this moment, Shao Yifu sighed in his heart.

Although this guy's words are twisted, they do make some sense.

He knew very well that Shao Weiming, as well as his other children, all had a grudge against Fang Yihua.

But now, because of him, this resentment cannot be released.

Bao Zeyang's idea was actually to give Shao Weiming the opportunity to vent his resentment and use the television station to fight back.

If you win, you'll get rid of that anger!

If you lose the fight, you will feel disappointed because you are not as skilled as your opponent.

So overall, the final results tend to be good.

Since Shao Weiming had Rediffusion Television, Fang Yihua could also safely run TVB until the end of her life.

After Fang Yihua passes away, TVB’s shares will be transferred to the trust institution set up by himself.

At that time, whether Weiming is in power or, as Bao Zeyang said, merges with Rediffusion, it is actually a good way out.

From this aspect, this kid really considered him.

"Did you discuss this with Weiming, or did you come up with this argument yourself to convince me?"

Shao Yifu suddenly asked

Li Changhe shook his head.

"Brother Weiming doesn't know about this. He actually has some concerns about taking over Li, but he doesn't know your attitude." "I told him that I am sure I can convince you, Uncle Six."

"I think this matter is also an opportunity to resolve their grievances and stop embarrassing you, Uncle Six."

"Of course, there will probably be a lot of excitement in the media. After all, these things are very worthwhile to hype."

"But there are so many rumors about wealthy families in Hong Kong Island, these are actually nothing."

"And I think that in this way, apart from anything else, the Shaw family will definitely have considerable weight in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island or Southeast Asia."

Run Run Shaw was well aware of this. By that time, TVB would be under his control, and ATV would be in the hands of Run Run Shaw. There was no doubt that the entire newly arrived television media would be under the control of the Run Run Shaw family.

As a result, the influence of the Shaw family in Hong Kong Island can be said to have risen sharply, which is visible to the naked eye.

And this has another advantage, that is, ATV can receive many members of the Shao family, such as his second son Shao Weizhong, his nephew Shao Weijin and so on.

Because of Fang Yihua's relationship, Shao Weizhong also stayed away from TVB. However, if Shao Weiming took charge of ATV and Shao Weizhong was also included, it would be a good thing for the Shao family.

Apart from anything else, the two brothers will definitely be familiar with the TV station's system in the future. Even if they lose their jobs at Bao Zeyang's place, it will be easy for them to come back and take over TVB.

"Let Wei Zhong join Li and go there to gain some experience!"

Thinking of this, Shao Yifu opened his mouth and spoke softly to Li Changhe.

"No problem. I'll talk to Brother Wei Ming when I get back and ask him to invite Wei Zhong to come as well."

Li Changhe certainly didn't mind this.

It is obvious that the more Shaw family members there are in the company, the easier it will be for TVB and ATV to merge in the future.

"That's it, I'm going back first."

Shao Yifu finished speaking and then stood up.

"I'll take you there, Uncle Six!"

Li Changhe knew that Shao Yifu had acquiesced.

After Shao Yifu left, Li Changhe returned to the room and continued to eat slowly.

He knew that Shao Yi-fu would definitely agree.

Although he has little affection for his children, it does not mean that he does not value his family business.

After Run Run Shaw's death in the future, TVB will appear to have no one to inherit it, and none of its four children will take over TVB, but in fact all of TVB's assets will be injected into the trust fund he set up overseas.

The person in charge of that trust fund was Shao Weiming.

Including the inheritance left by Fang Yihua a hundred years later, all was injected into that fund.

Therefore, Li Changhe was certain that Shao Yifu must have already considered the subsequent inheritance matters.

By doing this, I am actually giving him a ladder to help him resolve the conflict between his concubine and legitimate son.

Unless the other party denies his sons, he has no reason to refuse.

On the other side, after returning to TVB, Shaw Yi-fu slowly walked into his office.

"came back?"

"What did that little Baosheng talk to you about?"

In the office, Fang Yihua had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Shao Yifu come in, he immediately went over to support him and then asked in a low voice.

Shao Yifu sighed.

"Sit first!"

After sitting on the sofa in the office, he looked at Fang Yihua and then said softly: "Bao Zeyang has acquired Rediffusion Television, and Weiming will be the head of the television station at that time."

"This"

"Are they going too far?"

Fang Yihua's face was filled with anger at this moment.

This little bastard, they had sold the Shaw Brothers Cinemas to him before, but he actually encouraged Shao Weiming to compete with Shao Yifu?

Wouldn’t this become a laughing stock in Hong Kong?

"Yihua, you are wrong. He is not asking Weiming to target me. He wants Weiming to challenge you."

"You run TVB, Weiming runs ATV, you two will compete with each other."

Shao Yifu said softly at this time.

Fang Yihua's expression changed when he heard this.

"Let Weiming fight me?"

In today's TVB, Run Run Shaw is already old. Although he still takes the lead in many things, most of the affairs below are actually managed by Fang Yihua.

"Yihua, well, I'll tell you something."

"It's about what happens after I die."

At this time, Shao Yifu decided to tell Fang Yihua about his arrangements.

After Shao Yifu finished talking to Fang Yihua, Fang Yihua also understood Li Changhe's intention.

This turned the originally controversial father-son competition into a showdown between the legitimate son and the concubine, and the media's attention was now focused on the two of them.

The plot of father and son killing each other naturally does not exist.

Of course, Fang Yihua did not take this risk in vain. If TVB wanted to promote Fang Yihua, it would naturally have to give her a promotion and a raise. To put it bluntly, Run Run Shaw wanted to give her real power.

Although Fang Yihua is now in power, it is more because of Shao Yifu's relationship rather than her position.

So next, Run Run Shaw will definitely give her a promotion and hand TVB completely over to her hands.

This is also a good thing for Fang Yihua!

"In two days, I will arrange for you to join the board of directors as executive director and general manager. You will be in charge of TVB as a whole."

Shao Yifu finally said softly.

This can be regarded as handing over the operating rights of the industry to Fang Yihua.

"Just be a director. You should be the general manager. With you here, they won't dare to disobey me. I'll step in if anything goes wrong."

Fang Yihua thought about it and declined politely.

After all, her current status is still a concubine. If she takes over the full management of TVB, Run Run Shaw's reputation will definitely be affected.

Although she is ambitious, her feelings for Shao Yifu are genuine.

She is not afraid of fighting in the ring, but there is no need to affect Shao Yifu's reputation.

Sure enough, after listening to Fang Yihua's words, Shao Yifu sighed.

This woman was so considerate and had the upper hand over him.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. I'll have someone inform all the major media outlets."

Shao Yifu then said calmly.

As the godfather of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, he actually has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

On the other hand, after many negotiations, Shao Weiming successfully reached an agreement with Lisheng Company.

1.2 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire all % of the shares held by Lisheng Company.

The remaining shares were in the hands of those small shareholders, and Shao Weiming also started negotiating.

With the withdrawal of Lisheng Company, the remaining small shareholders naturally have no right to fight against the major shareholders.

In the end, Li Changhe spent 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire more than % of the shares of R&F Television, and completely took control of the TV station.

After the acquisition, there is no doubt that the first thing Li Changhe did was to change the name of ATV.

The name remained unchanged and was still changed to Asia Television.

As a result, Asia Television entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry one year ahead of schedule.
