Huayu: Director started with art films

The next morning.

Ming Pao Group Building.

Jin Yong walked in carrying his bag. Along the way, many staff members wanted to greet the old leader, but when they saw his serious expression, they all stopped.

Everyone was secretly curious, what happened to Mr. Cha?
Having worked in this place for decades, Jin Yong was naturally familiar with the route, and no one stopped him, so he made his way to the chairman's office.

The secretary saw Jin Yong coming and hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Cha!"

"Where is your chairman?"

"inside."

"Please notify him for me."

"Okay Mr. Cha."

The secretary noticed that Jin Yong looked unhappy and immediately called the chairman Yu Pinhai's office.

After a moment, Yu Pinhai opened the door in a hurry and walked out: "Mr. Cha, why are you here so suddenly? I was thinking of visiting you this afternoon."

"Forget it. You are busy with work, so I won't bother you to make the trip."

Jin Yong is very angry now, not only because of the information provided by Li Yishu and his verification.

Another point is that this morning, Jin Yong called Yu Pinhai and asked him to come to his house as soon as possible.

But Yu Pinhai declined the offer in the morning on the grounds that he was busy with work.

This is what makes Jin Yong most angry.

In the past few years, Yu Pinhai treated him better than his own father. Not only did he eat, drink and play with him every day, but as long as Jin Yong called him, he would come over immediately no matter where he was.

But now?

He said he had something important to do, but he used work as an excuse.

If someone had said that he was busy with work in the past, Jin Yong would not have said anything. Young people will definitely focus on their careers.

However, as he got to know Yu Pinhai's character and found out that he had misappropriated loans to open a casino, Jin Yong began to question his character. In Jin Yong's view, everything he said was just an excuse.

Yu Pinhai saw that Jin Yong looked unhappy, and he didn't know how he had offended him, but he still said honestly: "Mr. Cha, let's go into the office and talk."

Jin Yong walked in on his own, sat on the sofa, looked at Yu Pinhai who was making tea, sighed in his heart, and blamed himself for not judging people well at the beginning.

Yu Pinhai came over with a teacup and respectfully placed it on the tea table in front of Jin Yong. He then smiled and said, "Mr. Cha, if you have any instructions, just give me a call. I will definitely go there in person. There is no need for you to make a special trip."

Hearing this, Jin Yong smiled but didn't say anything. He took out a document from his bag and handed it to him: "Take a look for yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Pinhai took the document in confusion and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.

The above is the information about how he embezzled bank loans and partnered with others to open a casino in Canada.

Jin Yong sarcastically said, "Yu Pinhai, I didn't see it. What's the matter? You don't want to be a newspaper tycoon, but you want to be a casino tycoon?"

Yu Pinhai hurriedly explained: "Mr. Cha, I can explain this matter. I just lent money to my friend. The casino has nothing to do with me."

"You don't have to explain so much to me. I don't want to listen, and I have no interest in listening."

Jin Yong waved his hand, obviously not wanting to listen to the other party's nonsense. What kind of friend is worthy of you mortgaging your own shares and borrowing money from the bank?
This is not just a few hundred or tens of millions, but a loan worth 7 million Hong Kong dollars.

Yu Pinhai was surprised by Jin Yong's attitude, but he still explained: "Mr. Cha, I know you have misunderstood this matter, but please rest assured that I will get the money back soon."

"It doesn't matter whether you take it back or not. This is the loan you took out." Jin Yong took out another document and handed it to the other party.

Yu Pinhai's heart skipped a beat and he took it with trembling hands. He opened the book and saw that it contained all information about his early cases in Canada and records of his imprisonment.

His face suddenly changed: "Master Cha, I..."

"No need to say it!"

Jin Yong stared at him angrily: "I don't care what kind of person you were before, I came to you this time for only one thing, and that is to take out your shares!"

"impossible!"

Yu Pinhai blurted out: "Mr. Cha, I bought the shares, why should I give them out?"

After hearing this, Jin Yong was completely disappointed with Yu Pinhai. At that time, Yu Pinhai was just a young man with some savings and he did not have the capital to buy the shares of Ming Pao Group from him.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Pinhai looked like Jin Yong's eldest son who died young, and if it weren't for the fact that Yu Pinhai had been trying to please Jin Yong for the past two years and the two of them had been as close as father and son, Jin Yong would never have sold or given away Ming Pao shares to Yu Pinhai.

I didn't expect Yu Pinhai to say such a thing now.

This also made Jin Yong completely give up the idea of ​​persuading the other party.

Jin Yong was the man who founded the Ming Pao Group and wrote countless classic martial arts novels. Seeing that Yu Pinhai did not want to end it all in a dignified manner, he said coldly:

"Since you don't want to pay, then you don't have to pay. I will contact the board of directors to remove you from your position as chairman. I will also contact the Securities Regulatory Commission and the banking consortium to suspend Ming Pao from trading and have the bank recover the loan you used for other purposes without authorization!"

"Mr. Cha, you can't do this!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Pinhai's face changed drastically:

"If Ming Pao is suspended, then the Ming Pao Group will be hurt. This is the company you founded. You told me that you can develop Ming Pao Group into a first-class elite newspaper in Hong Kong and even the world. Your actions will cause huge fluctuations in Ming Pao's stock price."

"I would rather Ming Pao go bankrupt than fall into the hands of a shameless person like you!"

Jin Yong chose to completely tear his face off, pointed at Yu Pinhai's nose and cursed:
"You can either take out your shares now and I'll find someone to buy them at the current market price. Or you can have Ming Pao suspended from trading, with your shares stuck in it, and have the bank come after you for the loan. If you can't pay it back, the bank will liquidate the assets under your name!"

There is a saying that goes: The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred will be after you turn against each other!

Jin Yong was really good to Yu Pinhai, at least he thought he had never been so good to anyone else. Not only did he sell or give away his shares in Ming Pao, he also introduced many big names in Hong Kong's political and business circles to Yu Pinhai, and even introduced all his lifelong friends to Yu Pinhai.

Even if he is your own son, this is probably the only way to pave the way, right?

But after learning that Yu Pinhai's feelings for him were like a father's, it was all fake and was all to cheat him out of his shares,

Those who had promised to inherit Jin Yong's aspirations and develop Ming Pao Group into a first-class newspaper in Asia and even the world were just empty talk and even mortgaged their shares to open a casino.

All these things made Jin Yong completely give up.

This person has a very deep mind, and even someone with many years of experience like him cannot see through him. He is definitely not someone you can make friends with!
"I……"

Seeing Jin Yong speaking like this, Yu Pinhai knew that the other party was about to break up. He hesitated and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

As he misappropriated the bank loan without authorization, he is in breach of contract and the bank has the right to immediately recover all his loans.

But now all of Yu Pinhai’s money has been thrown into casinos in Canada. If you ask someone to borrow money, a few hundred million is fine, but who will lend you a few hundred million?
Not to mention the breakup with Jin Yong, all of Yu Pinhai's network of connections in Hong Kong were arranged by Jin Yong.

Now that Jin Yong has spoken, no one will lend him money.

As for lending out Ming Pao shares again?
It's impossible. Not to mention that I have already applied for a bank loan. Even if I can get a loan, if Ming Pao suspends trading, my shares will be locked up.

If he is unable to come up with the money, the bank has the right to apply to the court to liquidate the assets under his name.

Once it comes to this, Ming Pao's shares will be greatly discounted, and the family business he has worked hard for many years may be gone in one day!
"Mr. Cha, I..."

“Sell or not sell!”

"Sell!"

Yu Pinhai gritted his teeth and uttered this word.

I have to sell it.

The bank, the Securities and Futures Commission, and Ming Pao Group will not support him. "Find someone to do the valuation as soon as possible, and I will also contact the buyer."

After Jin Yong finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Cha Lao!"

Yu Pinhai quickly stood up and called out to the other person.

Jin Yong originally wanted to leave, but after all he had invested a lot of effort in him, he sighed in his heart, stopped, and wanted to listen to what the other party wanted to say.

Yu Pinhai hesitated and said, "Um... Mr. Cha, you... you won't leak my personal information, right?"

For him, although the Ming Pao Group is gone, he can still make a difference by relying on the connections he has made in Hong Kong over the past few years and the casinos in Canada. However, if his personal information is leaked, it will be a fatal blow to Pin Hai.

Because Yu Pinhai and others partnered up to open this casino, he wanted to attract customers from Hong Kong to go to the Canadian casino to play and spend money.

If this information were leaked, who would want to be friends with a person who has committed crimes such as theft, forgery of checks, illegal use of other people's credit cards, and possession of firearms?
I'm afraid everyone can avoid it!
Not to mention the problem of theft, the three charges of forgery of checks, illegal use of other people's credit cards, and possession of firearms are also serious crimes in Hong Kong.

Who knows whether Yu Pinhai took them to Canada to go to the casino to play, or to be played by the casino?

"Ha ha……"

Jin Yong turned around and sneered, "This information was given to me by someone else. Whether to tell it or not depends on their mood. You'd better get the shares as soon as possible. You must sign the contract tomorrow. Otherwise, you will return to Canada with nothing. Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Jin Yong left, and he left in a very carefree manner, but in fact he was very heartbroken. He had poured all his fatherly love into a young man, but in the end, he only received one lie after another.

"Immortal!"

Yu Pinhai clenched his fists, and finally collapsed on the sofa, falling into despair.

After a while, Yu Pinhai stood up, picked up the phone and contacted his lawyer, preparing to ask the other party to hire someone to estimate the value of his shares and come over tomorrow to prepare a share transfer agreement.

Ming Pao Group is a listed company. Any change in its shares, if it exceeds 5%, will be announced in newspapers to inform shareholders.

On the board side, with Jin Yong here, there aren't many problems. Now the main concern is the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Jin Yong was the absolute controlling shareholder of Ming Pao Group at the beginning. He had never raised any funds. He just sold part of his shares to some partners before going public, and also had some capital, and then invested another part of his shares into the market.

Therefore, after the listing, Jinyong's shares accounted for about 60%, which gradually decreased later, but it was still around 55%, an absolute controlling stake.

Changes in the controlling rights of listed companies will affect shareholders, so it is necessary to contact the China Securities Regulatory Commission and obtain their approval.

Fortunately, Jin Yong produced the documents and information that showed Yu Pinhai's unauthorized misappropriation of bank loans, as well as the data provided by relevant banks. Naturally, the CSRC agreed to the equity transaction.

It took a day.

Finally, I managed to deal with the Securities Regulatory Commission, Yu Pinhai, and the Ming Pao board of directors.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Jin Yong sat in his study, picked up the phone on the table, and contacted Li Yishu: "Mr. Li, come to Ming Pao Group tomorrow morning and prepare another 12 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"No problem, Mr. Jin!"

Li Yishu's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Jin Yong could get it done in just two days as he said it would take three days.

hang up the phone.

Lan Jieying, who was lying under Li Yishu, panted and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Li Yishu was naturally in a good mood as he was about to acquire Ming Pao Group. He had to share this joy, or the feeling of showing off, with someone, so he asked, "Do you know Ming Pao?"

Lan Jieying nodded: "Of course I know, it's Jin Yong's Ming Pao, who in Hong Kong doesn't know it?"

"Tomorrow morning, Ming Pao Group will belong to me."

"what?!"

Lan Jieying was shocked. Seeing Li Yishu's confident look, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Is this true? Ming Pao... Ming Pao Group belongs to you. Did you acquire Ming Pao?"

"Yes, sign the contract tomorrow morning."

Li Yishu raised the corner of his mouth: "From now on, I will be the chairman of the board of directors of Ming Pao Group!"

Lan Jieying's expression when she looked at Li Yishu changed from surprise to admiration.

Li Yishu noticed her expression and asked, "You seem very excited?"

Lan Jieying nodded quickly: "Of course I'm excited, this is Ming Pao!"

Ming Pao has been established for decades and has always been a well-known newspaper in Hong Kong.

The founder, Jin Yong, is even known as one of the four great talents of Hong Kong.

Ming Pao is basically ranked among the top three in Hong Kong, along with Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily, and is listed as one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong.

Now, such a big newspaper is about to be taken over by Li Yishu. How could Anita Mui not be excited and admire her?

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Inside the meeting room of Ming Pao Group.

Yu Pinhai's face looked as ugly as if his mother had died.

Li Yishu laughed constantly and chatted happily with Jin Yong, Liu Liu, Cai Lan, as well as shareholders from the Securities and Futures Commission, the bank consortium, and the Ming Pao Group.

Whether it is Jin Yong, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the bank, or the shareholders, they are all 100% satisfied with Li Yishu, the new major shareholder!

Not to mention the film and television resources that Li Yishu has, the fact that the companies under his control have not yet gone public is worthy of the shareholders, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and the people in the banks to please him.

At the same time, there were several reporters from Ming Pao nearby, taking pictures of the scene with cameras.

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

Since it will be announced in the newspaper tomorrow, it will naturally be announced in our own newspaper.

9.18 points.

Witnessed by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, banks and shareholders, Li Yishu quickly wrote down his name, and Yu Pinhai also signed his name reluctantly.

Li Yishu has already transferred the money for the acquisition of Ming Pao to the corresponding bank account in advance. Later, they will deduct the loan money and interest from Yu Pinhai before returning the rest to him.

Jin Yong extended his hand: "Mr. Li, congratulations!"

"This is all thanks to Mr. Jin, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do so smoothly." Li Yishu thanked.

"Thank you, just run Ming Pao properly, don't follow others and mess around."

At this point, Jin Yong glanced at Yu Pinhai who was leaving in disgrace and said, "Ming Pao is yours now. I hope you can develop Ming Pao and make it the number one newspaper in Asia, just as you told me before!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Jin. I am very confident that Ming Pao will become the number one newspaper in Asia."

Li Yishu smiled. If a newspaper wants to become the largest newspaper, in addition to sales, the most important thing is recognition. Readers must recognize the news content and comments.

Just like Time magazine, many celebrities are proud to be featured in Time magazine. Lee Yi-su became famous on a large scale because she was featured in the Asian Time magazine, thus becoming the godfather of Asian films.

This is the power of the media!

There was still a long way to go before the advent of the Internet age. At least before 2005, newspapers were still the mainstream, and before 2010, their influence was still very widespread.

Moreover, Li Yishu will also have people build the world's first Chinese news network - Ming Pao News Network as soon as possible.

15 years is enough time for Li Yishu to build a media empire spanning online and offline with the help of traditional newspapers. (End of this chapter)
