Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.
Chapter 25 Phoenix TV
On March 22, Li Huai-ren left home early in the morning and headed to Macau.
At the Ho family mansion in Macau, Old Master Ho glanced at the young man sitting opposite him, sighed, and said:
"Sigh, your maternal grandfather and your mother brought you here more than ten years ago, right? In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much."
Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered this time? I will definitely help you if I can.
I promised your grandfather I would make up for the favor I owed him by doing it for you.
The young man was none other than Li Huai-ren. He smiled and said:
"I want to establish a television station called Phoenix in Macau, but the television signal must cover the entire Hong Kong."
In order to create the impression that Phoenix TV's signal had covered all of Hong Kong in the blink of an eye, I wanted to get a loan from the Ho family's bank specifically to secretly prepare a large number of television signal towers.
Either do nothing, or if you do, you must complete the installation of Phoenix TV signal towers throughout Hong Kong in a very short time.
After all, the Hong Kong British government certainly didn't want Hong Kong to receive signals from Macau television stations, which would cause a problem with its control over public opinion in Hong Kong...
After listening, Old He remained silent for a long time. Finally, he looked up at Li Huai-ren and asked:
"Which side does Phoenix TV stand on?"
Li Huai-ren immediately understood his meaning, smiled, and replied:
"Now we sit in the middle, but after Hong Kong's return to China, we can sit whichever side is appropriate."
Upon hearing this, Old He immediately clapped his hands and laughed:
"Haha, okay! No problem, I agree to everything!"
Furthermore, I can also do you a favor. There's a TV signal tower near my house, and the production process isn't complicated. I'll find someone to help you with the production, and the cost can be deducted directly from the loan.
Besides, you're oversimplifying things. Don't rush. Let me arrange for the telecommunications authorities of Macau and Hong Kong to sign an agreement on mutual television signal coverage before we proceed.
Hehe, Hong Kong currently has two television stations, while Macau has none. If Macau takes the initiative to propose this, the Hong Kong Telecommunications Department will definitely agree immediately.
Once the agreement is signed, you must immediately get to work and complete the installation of the television signal towers as quickly as possible…
Li Huai-ren stayed at the Ho family's house for most of the day, chatting with Mr. Ho for a long time, until about 4:30 pm, when he finally took a boat back to Hong Kong.
As soon as he left, Mr. He's eldest son, He Xihua, immediately asked:
"Dad, Phoenix Daily shouldn't be worth that much money, right? You got the bank to lend him 20 million Hong Kong dollars in one go, what if..."
"There's no 'what if'!" Old He waved his hand and said decisively, interrupting his eldest son.
He looked up at his eldest son and said earnestly:
"Didn't you just hear me ask him? I asked him where Phoenix TV's butt sits, and he said it sits in the middle."
Ah Hua, it won't do if we don't have channels to voice our opinions in Hong Kong and Macau.
"We don't need Phoenix Daily and Phoenix TV to deliberately favor us; their neutrality is enough!"
In addition, Li Huai-ren's maternal grandfather saved me from Luo Botou's clutches back then. This kindness was originally meant to be repaid to his parents after his grandfather's death, but his parents were punished for possessing a treasure and were killed by the British.
Then this kindness can only be repaid to him.
After saying that, he looked at his eldest son and continued:
"Ahua, you need to broaden your horizons, expand your perspective, and broaden your mind so that you can have a bigger vision."
Think about it carefully. How old is Li Huai-ren now? Yet he already owns one of the largest newspapers in Hong Kong and a hardware and plastics factory with thousands of workers.
Do you think he might fail in starting a TV station?
No, if you think that way, you're completely wrong.
Phoenix Daily, Phoenix Publishing House, Phoenix News Agency, and the newly established Phoenix Film Company and Phoenix Records Company that he mentioned today, plus the dozen or so large theaters he bought in 67, plus the Phoenix Television Station that is about to be established—put them all together and think about it carefully!
Ahua was taken aback, but then he realized what was happening:
"Ah, all these industries are related industries!"
Old He smiled and gently patted his eldest son's shoulder:
"That's right, the TV station is what Li Huai-ren called the last piece of the map, I think. With the TV station, all his businesses were completely connected and linked together."
So, do you still think his TV station can't stay afloat?
"Dad, it's the last piece of the puzzle," Ahua corrected his father, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
Previously, major families and newly rich people in Hong Kong were saying how unworthy Li Huai-ren was and that they were unwilling to let their daughters marry him. However, it turned out to be a rumor.
It seems Li Huai-ren will soon become their hot commodity again!
Meanwhile, after returning to Hong Kong, Huo Jianming began recruiting a large number of film and television professionals, especially behind-the-scenes staff, under the name of Phoenix Film Company.
Meanwhile, Phoenix Real Estate Company, which had been in trial operation for some time, suddenly found its dozen or so employees busy, traveling around Hong Kong with the engineering and technical personnel hired by Li Huai-ren.
On the morning of April 18th, a seemingly insignificant piece of news made Li Huai-ren so happy he almost jumped for joy:
The Hong Kong Telecommunications Department and the Macao Telecommunications Department have reached an agreement on mutual coverage of television signals between the two places...
That afternoon, with Mr. He's help, Li Huai-ren's application for a television license from the Macao government was approved.
Li Huai-ren immediately went to Macau and established Phoenix Television in Macau, but kept it a secret. He also instructed the staff in charge to keep the secret for the time being.
The following morning, Li Huai-ren again invited Wang Tian-lin to have morning tea at the Peninsula Hotel.
Wang Tianlin took the Phoenix TV license from Li Huai Ren and looked at it. Although he had already guessed, he was still shocked. This was a TV station license, not an application to establish a company!
He was a shrewd man and immediately guessed that there must be someone with great power and influence in Macau helping Li Huai Ren.
Wang Tianlin looked up at Li Huai-ren, handed him back the Phoenix TV license plate, nodded, and said:
"I'll accept my loss! Where is Phoenix TV's office in Hong Kong? I'll start working there tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Li Huai-ren immediately turned around, took a large stack of documents from his briefcase, and handed them to him:
"I'll still call you Uncle Tianlin!"
Uncle Tianlin, in fact, Phoenix Film Company, Phoenix Records and the newly established Phoenix Television Station do not yet have office buildings.
What I mean is that these three companies will temporarily work in the same office building, and then move out or build their own office buildings later.
These are all properties under my fourth uncle's company. You can choose yourself. For smaller properties, you can rent the entire building. For high-rise office buildings, you can rent as many floors as you need. It's all up to you.
