Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 362 "361" Press Conference, Guan Zu single-handedly stunned Boss Li! (A chapter on asking for leave)
"A-Zu, Asia Television was actually my second son's idea in the beginning. I don't have any special feelings for it."

ATV Chief Executive's Office,
Boss Lin and Guan Zu were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.

"Later, although I invested a lot of money, ATV was still not able to beat TVB."

“In fact, I wanted to give up at one point.”

"But later, your Five Star Group's "Millionaire" brought ATV's ratings back up. And because of your care, it got a lot of heavy news one step ahead of TVB, and the ratings of the news channel gradually became equal to TVB."

"ATV is able to hold on now, thanks to you, A-Zu."

“So, I am very happy that you have become a major shareholder.”

Boss Lin is already 77 years old this year, and his spirit is no longer what it used to be. His own Lin family alone is enough to give him a headache.

As for the eldest son and the youngest son...well, let’s not talk about them.

He married four wives and had seven sons in his life, all of whom were tough.

The eldest son is a KPI contributor to Hong Kong gossip news, a star-hunter, and a romantic man. His abilities were mediocre at that time... He only exploded when they were fighting for the inheritance later.

As for the youngest son... never mind, he's also a scumbag anyway...

There are other sons... let’s not talk about them.

Boss Lin looked at Guan Zu, who was less than 30 years old but had already achieved what he has today.

It is certain that it will surpass Lin.

The difference between people is so huge.

Guan Zu: "Thank you very much for Mr. Lin's generosity!"

Boss Lin waved his hand: "There's no need for us to be so polite... There's one more thing, Liang * Yi's matter, I want to ask for your opinion."

Boss Lin is not blind. He has long discovered that Guan Zu is not very satisfied with Liang * Yi.

"When Boss Zheng and I acquired Asia Television, we were not that familiar with the TV station. At that time, Boss Zheng was the TV station's CEO. Later, he didn't want to do it anymore and resigned from the CEO position. I took over...but we didn't have much experience, so we invited Ms. Liang to come over."

"She started out as an employee at TVB and worked her way up from an ordinary employee to a senior executive."

"Then, Jiayi poached me..."

(Photo: Jiayi's July Offensive)

"In the late 70s, Jiayi was not doing well, so she was invited by Shao Daheng to be the producer of TVB's TV programs. Then, in 1989, I hired her at a high salary to be the general manager of Asia Television, and appointed her as the president in 90."

Boss Lin said: "No matter what, there is still some affection between her and me."

"I'm sorry, but I don't like this person."

Guan Zu, however, had a more resolute attitude. He said, "I don't care about money, but anyone I don't like must get out."

Boss Lin knew that Guan Zu had never been petty, and now that he was showing such a firm attitude, the situation would inevitably be irreconcilable.

Boss Lin: "Okay! I'll talk to her!"

Guan Zu nodded: "Thank you for your help."

Guan Zu didn't have a good impression of Liang * Yi. Now that he had thought about it carefully, he realized that this person didn't have much background, unlike Fang Anxin who had a big background, and she didn't have a husband with a backer (her husband was in engineering, failed in the election for Legislative Councillor in the engineering sector, and was later elected Chairman of the Examinations and Assessment Authority).

The fact that she was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council by the Legislative Council Election Committee/Governor of Hong Kong in 1981 was probably due to the Hong Kong government's consideration to control public opinion.

Why not bribe Mr. Shao/Auntie Fang?
Because Shao Daheng's movements are more flirtatious and flexible... hehehe~~~
Why not bribe others?
Guan Zu said he didn't know.

quickly,

Guan Zu finished talking with Boss Lin.

In one hour, ATV will hold a press conference.

But before that, Boss Lin had to deal with Liang * Yi.

……

CEO's office.

Liang * Yi stood in front of the window,
The atmosphere here is heavy. The secretary came in just now, then felt the oppressive atmosphere and quickly left again.

At this time, Liang * Yi knew that Guan Zu and Boss Lin were talking upstairs, and he also knew that Guan Zu had been coveting the power of ATV for a long time, and now he was probably discussing the position of the chairman of ATV, which might involve himself.

I don’t know how long it took.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~~~”

The door was pushed open.

Boss Lin walked in.

"Asha~~"

"boss!"

Asha is Liang *yi's nickname. Many of her subordinates or colleagues call her Sister Sha.

The two came to the sofa area.
Liang *yi made tea for Boss Lin. Her tea-making skills were excellent, and the tea-making process felt smooth and flowing.

The atmosphere was silent, and Boss Lin seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Liang *yi's heart was completely relieved.

"Boss, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

"Asha... I..." Boss Lin originally wanted to say that he and Liang * Yi had a good relationship in the past, that you worked hard and I supported you, and he also wanted to say that he had hired her with a high salary in the past...

But when it came to my lips, nothing came out.

Finally, I can only say: "I am very sorry."

He was indeed sorry.

After all, he and Boss Zheng had hired him for this job at a high salary. If he said he didn't want it now, he would be letting Liang * Yi down.

Liang Yi's eyes were slightly cold: "Mr. Guan, does he want to fire me?"

Boss Lin nodded: "Yes. He thinks his style is completely different from yours, and maybe the two of you can't work well together."

Liang *Yi chuckled.

Guan Zu was indeed right about this point. Liang * Yi really disliked Guan Zu. Even if she worked under Guan Zu, she was not happy and comfortable with her work, and she would definitely not cooperate 100%.

"it is good!"

Liang * Yi slapped her thigh and said: "I, Liang * Yi, am not a shameless person. Since ATV doesn't want me, I will find another job. But please give me half a month."

On the one hand, she needed to find time to find another job; on the other hand, she wanted to poach people from ATV.

Boss Lin hesitated for a moment, he knew that Liang * Yi wanted to poach his employees.

But he couldn't say no, as he was old and indecisive. He didn't want Liang * Yi to resign, which would make the outside world think he was a cold and heartless person.

"I'll give you three days!"

"Okay! Just three days!"

Liang * Yi: "Thank you boss for your support over the past two years!"

Boss Lin raised his glass and said, "I'm so sorry! I'll prepare a banquet for you three nights from now!"

quickly,

Boss Lin left.

Liang *yi's face could no longer contain the anger, panic and resentment!

Bang bang bang~~
He simply grabbed the folder and slammed the table to vent his anger.

There are only two TV stations in Hong Kong Island, ATV and TVB. If ATV wants to fire her, then the best place for her to go is TVB.

But, she has betrayed TVB twice, and now she is going back?

The outside world doesn’t know how to evaluate her.

Besides, Aunt Fang must hate her, so how could she go back?
Do you want me to go to those newspapers?
The largest newspaper company is Sing Tao Daily, which has several newspapers under its umbrella.

But there is always a sense of reluctance.

Without the position of ATV president, her value in the media industry suddenly decreased a lot.

“I have to go back to TVB!”

"I have to recruit some people back so that I can have enough confidence to return to TVB!"

After she identified her target, she started calling Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang naturally didn't like Liang * Yi, but when she heard that Liang * Yi could poach girls from ATV, she agreed on the spot and made an appointment for dinner in the evening.

After the call, Liang Shuyi first looked for her secretary. This secretary had been with her for 5 years and was brought over from TVB. She was very capable and her right-hand man.

"Ah? Resign?"

The secretary was confused.

Liang * Yi was full of confidence: "Do you want to go with me?"

Secretary: “I…”

Why are you leaving?
Mr. Guan, you’re my idol!
The TV station is at 81 Broadcast Drive, Kowloon City, and the secretary's home is in Kowloon City, an area where Guan Zu's approval rating is 50+%.

This secretary is Guan Zu’s supporter.

Besides, Mr. Guan is so handsome!
Liang * Yi: “???”

The confident expression paused directly.

Explosive killing! !
……

……

10 points,
The press conference hall of Asia Television's headquarters building has become the focus of attention of all Hong Kong media today.

In the spacious hall, crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light.

The hall was already packed with reporters, and even the aisles were filled with people, making it impossible to move around.

On the stage, there was a long table covered with a spotless white tablecloth, and several microphones were neatly arranged.

Behind it, there is a banner: "A new chapter for ATV, inheritance and change."

Guan Zu and others had not arrived yet, but the crowd of reporters had already started talking.

"ATV has always been suppressed by TVB. I wonder what big moves Guan Zu will make after taking over."

"Mr. Guan is still very capable. I guess TVB is going to have a headache soon."

quickly,

The door to the hall opened and several people walked in.

Boss Lin and Guan Zu are walking in front.

Boss Lin was wearing a neat grey suit.

Next to him is Guan Zu, who has an upright posture and a tailor-made slim-fitting suit that highlights his confidence and composure.

"coming!"

In an instant, the entire press conference room became lively.

Flashes of light came one after another, and the sound of shutter clicks blended into one.

Take your seat.

Boss Lin glanced at the crowd below the stage.

"Everyone... Today, I have an important announcement."

"After careful consideration... I will step down as the chairman of ATV and relieve myself of the heavy responsibility of ATV... Mr. Guan Zu is talented, capable and far-sighted, and will definitely inject new vitality into ATV..."

Then, Guan Zu spoke.

“Dear friends, first of all, I would like to express my most sincere respect and gratitude to Mr. Lin.”

"Taking over the heavy responsibility of ATV, I feel that the responsibility is as heavy as Mount Tai, but I am not afraid..."

“I believe that under my leadership, ATV will usher in a new chapter!”

The reporter from Sing Tao Daily stood up first and said, "Mr. Guan, TVB occupies an important position in the Hong Kong television industry and has a huge audience base. After you took over ATV, is your goal to defeat TVB?"

Guan Zu smiled confidently: "TVB has a deep foundation and extensive influence in the Hong Kong television industry. This is a fact that cannot be ignored. But... I have enough confidence to defeat it."

The reporters in the audience were shocked.

So arrogant!
How arrogant!
So confident!
TVB has always been the TV station with the most interruptions in Hong Kong Island. Whether it was the former Jiayi or the long-standing ATV, they were all severely bullied by TVB.

However, this also made many reporters excited.

In this fierce clash between the two major TV stations, who will win and who will lose?

They will wait and see.

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Guan, I heard that the reason you were able to acquire ATV's shares from Mr. Zheng was because Mr. Zheng's New Century Group encountered serious financial risks. Is this true?"

Guan Zu could refuse to answer, but refusing to answer would only make the outside world think wildly. As an ally, Guan Zu naturally couldn't do that.

"I think everyone is concerned about the funding problem of the New World* Group. The newspapers reported it this morning. However, I have carefully studied the various assets of the New World* Group and believe that they are all high-quality assets. Therefore, my Five Star Group has invested 40 billion in the New World* Group."

Guan Zu certainly would not deceive investors by describing bad assets as good assets, but he really thinks that these assets are good.

Although Mr. Zheng has been making acquisitions here and there, he has a good vision. He has acquired high-quality assets, especially land in the mainland. Later, it was taken over by Mr. Li and he made a lot of money. If he can hold on for a few more years, the outside world will definitely evaluate Mr. Zheng as "aggressive" and "far-sighted", instead of the current "gossip KPI provider" and "the most failed successor of the four major groups".

In short, it's just taking too big a step and getting hurt.

"Wow~~~"

"40 billion?"

There was an uproar.

After today's news came out, all the capital and media in Hong Kong were bearish on the future of New World Group. As a result, Guan Zu has now directly invested 40 billion?
A reporter: "So, Mr. Guan, you are very confident in the New World Group?"

Guan Zu: "Yes, I am very confident about the future of New World Group...Okay, next question."

Then, I asked one question after another.
But none of them were as shocking as Guan Zu's 40 billion investment in New World, which still left the reporters' heads buzzing.

Soon, an hour later,

ATV press conference officially ended.

Guan Zu originally wanted to announce the acquisition of 9.4% of the shares of Cheung Kong Group, which was equivalent to raising the stake after exceeding 5%. But after thinking about it, Guan Zu felt that it might steal the show and overshadow ATV, so he did not announce it.

Why does Guan Zu value ATV so much?

Although the media has a low market value, it is a very powerful public opinion tool.

Just like in the future in the United States, squidmen occupy most of the traditional media, and even Facebok and others have large stakes in them.

So, they controlled public opinion and could really target anyone they wanted.

That is to say, Maga was blessed by destiny, and his opponents were incompetent, otherwise Maga would never have been able to defeat this group of people.

Guan Zu will definitely go to the United States to stir up trouble in the future. The first step will definitely be to set up a TV station or a major local newspaper to promote himself.

Jiejiejie~~~
……

……

noon,

ATV News began to disclose today's news.

"Today, Kwan Cho officially took over ATV. Boss Lam, who has worked hard for ATV for many years, decided to step down as chairman and entrust the future of ATV to Kwan Cho. After Kwan Cho took the stage, he made a firm statement, vowing to create new glory for ATV and defeat TVB."

"At the meeting, facing the rumors that the New World Group was short of funds, Guan Zu expressed his confidence in the New World Group and injected 40 billion into the New World Group..."

Guan Zu is the machine that makes hot search headlines.

As soon as the ATV news was broadcast,

The news spread throughout Hong Kong like wildfire.

The stock market is the fastest to react.

The traders on Boss Li's side had already bought up some of the scattered shares of New World Group to use to crash the market...

In the morning, the market crash went very smoothly, all the way down to -13%...

then,

Opening at 1 p.m.
As the news of Guan Zu's "investment of 40 billion" came out, the stocks of New World Group rose accordingly.

Boss Li bought stocks at high prices and sold them at a loss, losing hundreds of millions in one fell swoop.

Boss Li: “????”

I was totally stunned!
