After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Having been in the business world for many years, Zheng Daheng saw through Ma Zhichao's tactics at a glance.

Mrs. Cheng asked curiously, "Why did he acquire ATV?"

Zheng Daheng thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "The only reason I can think of is that he wants to break the news blockade imposed on him by the Daigu Group."

"However, it's quite obvious that ATV is a money-devouring beast."

"Not only will you not make money, you'll keep losing money."

"Ma Zhichao will soon regret this investment."

Zheng Daheng had a clear understanding of the mess that ATV was in.

It is inferior to TVB in every way.

From the time of Yau Tai-heng, ATV was always suppressed by TVB, which eventually dragged down Yau Tai-heng.

Later, Qiu Daheng sold his shares to Zheng Daheng, Lin Daheng, and several others.

The group then poured another 800 million into the project.

The results of it?

It's still losing money.

From 1988 to 1993, over those five years, they not only failed to earn a single penny from ATV, but instead lost 800 million.

Outrageous!

Even Zheng Daheng himself had to admit that it was a very unsuccessful investment.

Therefore, he had long been prepared to sell his 28% stake.

I thought about it.

Zheng Daheng picked up the phone and dialed Lin Daheng.

"Mr. Zheng..."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Daheng's slightly tired voice came through.

"Lin Sheng".

The two exchanged a few polite words at first.

Then, Zheng Daheng got down to business.

"Mr. Lin, someone just contacted me, wanting to buy my 28% stake in ATV."

"After all, we've been working together for many years, so I thought I should let you know first."

"If you want the shares I hold, I can transfer them to you."

Lin Daheng's voice changed noticeably: "Thank you very much for the reminder, Mr. Zheng. May I ask who this person is?"

Zheng Daheng said, "Ma Zhichao."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Ma Zhichao? That policeman?"

Zheng Daheng said, "Yes, it's him."

Lin Daheng was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I will definitely pay you a visit when I have time to express my gratitude."

Zheng Daheng laughed and said, "You're welcome."

"I am indeed prepared to transfer my ATV shares. If Mr. Lin is willing to take over, I can transfer them at a low price, after all, we have cooperated before."

Lin Daheng said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I'll think about it."

ATV is a crucial part of Lam Tai-heng's future business empire.

However, because his eldest son was kidnapped repeatedly, he has spent more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to ransom him.

We are indeed facing some financial difficulties right now.

……

……

The Lin family villa.

Lin Daheng called both of his sons into his study, intending to test them.

Lin Daheng was genuinely bewildered by Ma Zhichao's desire to acquire ATV's shares.

Where would a mere cop get so much money?

Even if it was embezzlement, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

To be honest, even though Ma Zhichao had saved Lin Jianming's life before, Lin Daheng didn't feel much genuine gratitude towards Ma Zhichao.

Ultimately, what businessmen value most is profit.

Even when maintaining interpersonal relationships, the ultimate goal is still self-interest.

In Lam Tai-heng's view, getting ATV to put Ma Chi-chiu on the news last time was already a reward for Ma Chi-chiu.

Therefore, when the Daigu Group called for the second time, demanding that ATV continue to block news about Ma Zhichao, Lin Daheng agreed without hesitation.

Who would have thought.

Ma Zhichao, a police officer, suddenly found himself with so much money.

Furthermore, they intend to acquire ATV shares and directly compete with them!

At that moment, Lin Daheng felt nothing but absurdity.

Lin Daheng thought about it carefully.

Ma Zhichao was able to suddenly come up with such a large sum of money, most likely through financial means.

He then told his two sons about it.

After hearing this, Lin Jianming and Lin Jianyue were both stunned at the same time.

On the one hand, they were shocked at how Ma Zhichao suddenly became so rich.

On the other hand, they couldn't understand why Ma Zhichao wanted to acquire ATV.

ATV has suffered continuous losses over the years, constantly burning money without ever making a profit.

Is Ma Zhichao so rich he doesn't know what to do with all his money?

Lin Daheng looked at the two of them and said slowly, "Now I'm going to test you."

"You are all aware of the current situation of the Lin family; they are facing a severe cash shortage."

"Regarding Mr. Zheng's shares, do you think we should buy them back?"

Although he valued his eldest son, Lam Kin-ming, more, he was equally willing to give his second son, Lam Kin-yue, a chance.

Lin Jianyue was invigorated.

After thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "Father, I think we should acquire it."

"Once we acquire Mr. Zheng's shares, we will have enough equity to form absolute control."

"In this way, the Lin family will have stronger control over ATV, and it will be more convenient for them to expand and strengthen ATV in the future."

He said that for two reasons.

First, he knew that his father had always been obsessed with ATV.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged for their most valued elder brother to work at ATV.

Secondly, the eldest brother, Lam Kin-ming, is currently in charge of ATV, which has been losing money.

If he can keep his elder brother tied down by ATV, then he can make a name for himself in the real estate business and let his father see clearly who is the most suitable person to inherit the Lin family business.

At this time, Lin Jianming was extremely wary of his younger brother, Lin Jianyue.

The day he was redeemed was enough for him to gain a deeper understanding of his younger brother.

Therefore, he almost immediately guessed the intention behind Lin Jianyue's suggestion.

Lin Jianming was filled with anger, but he remained calm on the surface.

He analyzed, "Dad, I don't think ATV is a good asset."

"Since Qiu Daheng took over in 1983, ATV has invested a lot of money and produced many excellent TV dramas and programs."

"But what was the result? It still lost to TVB."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Shao Daheng does have too many advantages in media management."

"We didn't lose because of a lack of ability, but because of our innate limitations."

Lin Daheng looked at him and asked, "So you think the Lin family should give up on ATV?"

His gaze suddenly turned stern.

It seems that her own planned strategy for ATV was rejected by her eldest son.

This made Lin Daheng somewhat dissatisfied.

Lin Jianming suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

He quickly used the "pitiful and charming" tactic.

"Dad, when I was kidnapped for the second time, I thought about a lot of things."

Why is Ma Chi-chiu so popular with the people of Hong Kong Island?

"Because he is very good at using the media."

"And ATV is exactly where he excels."

"So I think we can compromise."

"This time, we will not accept Mr. Zheng's shares; we will give them to Ma Zhichao."

"Use his abilities to help ATV improve its ratings."

When Lin Daheng thought of his eldest son being kidnapped repeatedly, his heart softened.

Think about it again carefully.

It seems that what the eldest son said does make some sense.

Lin Daheng pondered for a moment, then waved to his two sons.

"You guys go out first."

"Yes, Father," the two replied in unison.

Lin Jianming and Lin Jianyue turned and left the study.

After going out.

Lin Jianming looked at Lin Jianyue and said sincerely, "Second brother, I am very sorry that I caused the Lin family to lose more than 2 billion this time."

"In the coming period, we brothers must work together to help the Lin family overcome this difficult time."

Lin Jianyue nodded solemnly: "Brother, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to assist Father and also assist you in managing the Lin family business well."

At this moment, the two brothers appeared to be friendly and respectful to each other.

It was as if all the past power struggles and infighting had vanished.

Inside the study.

Lin Daheng pondered alone for a long time.

In the end, he made his decision.

Try your best to acquire the ATV shares held by Cheng Tai-heng!

His business intuition told him so.

Ma Zhichao is a difficult person to deal with.

If he were to actually join ATV, it would likely cause him considerable trouble in the future.

Therefore, we must raise money as soon as possible.

At the same time, it is also necessary to investigate where Ma Zhichao's money came from.

Besides that, there was another thing that gave Lin Daheng a major headache.

Several more bodyguards resigned.

After all, the Lin family had lost three groups of bodyguards in a row, and those people were all afraid.
