Chapter 82 The meeting of the three bosses
"Uncle Liu, don't blame me! If our TV station doesn't take the high-quality route, there will be no competition with your wireless TV station. The talent required is not as many as yours, and the cost is much higher than yours. It won't be possible if we don't spend a lot of money.
No way, I have been losing money now!" Zhao Hong said innocently. In fact, he was telling lies with his eyes open. Now he has made a lot of money just from the copyright of the variety show "Millionaire". This is because he only sells in Southeast Asia.
In the case of copyrights, European and American copyrights will be valuable only after the whole of Southeast Asia becomes popular. The copyrights of TV dramas will also skyrocket, and now TV stations have long been profitable.
"Brother Six, what Hong Zai said is true." Qiu Degen couldn't help but nodded and said, which made Run Run Shaw roll his eyes. Are you sure you weren't a joke invited by the monkey? Why do you agree with what both of them said?
This is mainly because the situation ATV is facing now is that the other two TV stations are doing a mixed doubles play on it, ravaging it to the point where it is on the verge of collapse. You say it is sad or not.
"Let's not talk about this now. We are just going to discuss the solution today. Hong Zai, what do you think we should do?" Run Run Shaw didn't want to say anything more. After all, these are fair competitions. He could only lament that his skills were inferior to others.
The problem that needs to be solved now is how to level down the fierce competition among the three TV stations. After all, if this continues, his wireless network will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Yes, yes! Hong Zai, please pay more attention and think of a solution quickly." Qiu Degen also agreed. This is the main problem to be solved today.
"Uncle Liu and Uncle Qiu, my nephew's little opinion, please correct me if there is anything wrong." Zhao Hong paused and then said: "There are three free TV stations in Xiangjiang. It is too crowded. Now the population of Xiangjiang is only five
More than one million. For such a small market, even two TV stations seem crowded. I think such a small market will definitely not be able to support three TV stations." Zhao Hong poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
.
"You're right, but it's impossible for a company to close down!" Qiu Degen was the most anxious. He couldn't bear to keep losing money like this! What's more, the entire financial environment in Xiangjiang is not very good now, and his own bank is also a bit shaky.
, it is impossible to spare too much money to produce high-quality TV series.
"Uncle Qiu, don't worry, please listen to me. I think the only way out for our three TV stations is to go to the satellite. Only by turning the TV stations into satellite TV will the market be vast. Think about how big the population base of Southeast Asia is. Just the Chinese."
I’m afraid it’s 100 million. It’s easy for three TV stations to enter such a big market.” Zhao Hong continued.
"Is satellite TV really possible? If you want to watch satellite TV, you need to install an antenna!" Run Run Shaw asked.
"That's right, satellites are needed to launch satellites! How can a TV station launch satellites without satellites?" Qiu Degen also raised the most important question.
"Uncle Liu, the antenna is just a one-time investment. It doesn't actually cost much. Moreover, this is facing the entire Southeast Asian market. There will always be some people who will buy the antenna to watch. Of course, the most important thing is that the TV series on the TV station are good. I believe
As long as there is a steady stream of good TV series and good variety shows, more and more people will watch it. There are no TV series shot in Southeast Asia that are as good as ours!" Zhao Hong said confidently.
Run Run Shao was a little excited. Seeing this situation, Zhao Hong continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "As for the satellite that Uncle Qiu mentioned, don't worry. I have already applied to the mainland leaders, and I believe there will be results soon."
"Hong Zai, isn't there something wrong with doing this? This matter is a bit sensitive!" When Run Run Shaw heard that he was going to buy a satellite in the Mainland, he was a little discouraged. He didn't want to take any risks. After all, there are
Great political risk.
"Uncle Liu, there is no risk. After all, we have to get permission from the British Hong Kong government to go to the star. This is just a normal business behavior. What's more, if the three of us apply together, the Hong Kong government will agree at this stage. As long as we
If the TV station remains neutral, after all, we control the media mouthpiece, which is also very important for the UK to stabilize Hong Kong." Zhao Hong analyzed for him that the Hong Kong government would be very happy if this matter can be exchanged for the TV station to remain neutral.
"Hongzi, can the mainland manufacture it?" Qiu Degen asked a rather idiotic question. After all, he didn't know much about the mainland and didn't know the development level of satellite technology in the mainland.
"Uncle Qiu, don't worry! In terms of satellite technology, the mainland's technology is not that different from that of the United States. What's more, we only use it on TV stations. As long as the signal can be received well, it's fine. Besides, the mainland already has satellites.
Satellite TV." Zhao Hong explained heartily.
"Okay, I agree. I'll leave it to you to handle the mainland contact. As for the Hong Kong government, leave it to me and your Uncle Qiu." Run Run Shaw felt that there was really no risk in this matter, and it was also the only thing the TV station could do.
Only in this way can wireless have better development space.
"Uncle Liu is still domineering. As long as this thing can be successful, I believe that the market value of the TV station will definitely be more than tens of billions. By then, advertising revenue will be four to five billion US dollars a year." Zhao Hong said happily, now Shao is done
Shaw, things would be much easier to solve. As for Qiu Degen, he would agree to it. After all, being on TV is his only way out.
"Hong Zai, that's good, but Uncle Qiu and I don't have that much money!" Qiu Degen suddenly said in embarrassment. It's not easy to maintain the stability of his own bank now, let alone spend a lot of money to invest in satellites.
, he has a lot of ambition but lacks strength!
"Uncle Qiu, don't worry, you can directly apply for a loan from Meisheng Bank. I believe you can repay it." Zhao Hong said to him.
"That's really great, Hongzai, you really helped me a lot!" Qiu Degen thanked Zhao Hong. With his money now, he could only wish he could dress up as two flowers.
"Uncle Qiu, what are you talking about? The bank will lend you money. This is a sure-profit deal." Zhao Hong said modestly.
"Hong Zai, how about I borrow some too?" Run Run Shaw joked.
"Uncle Six, I'm sorry, you are a landlord, this little money is really nothing to you." Zhao Hong boasted, he didn't quite believe that Run Run Shaw couldn't afford this little money, he doesn't lose it every year.
To do charity, not to mention that he has been in business for decades and has countless hidden assets.
"Hey! Who would leave a lot of cash in the bank? It seems that this time the family is going to be destroyed!" In the end, Run Run Shaw did not tell Zhao Hong about the loan. Zhao Hong guessed that this little money was really useful to him.
It’s not a big deal. This shows from the side that many Chinese assets have been hidden, and what people see is just the tip of the iceberg.
The subsequent exchanges became more relaxed, and Zhao Hong got along well with them, so the interview ended with a pleasant meal and exchange.
Chapter completed!
