The Li family is one of the four major families in Hong Kong and has a wide influence in the political and economic circles. Although Li Xiaohe is not the eldest son, he is the head of the Li family. Therefore, his unexpected death had a great impact on many people, and Chen Chong was no exception.

He has no direct interest relationship with the Li family, but the potential interest relationship is not small. For example, H will not mention his gentleman agreement with Li Xiaohe for now, but only discusses the position of Chairman of the board of directors of H who stayed by Li Xiaohe. Who should sit down?

In the eyes of the media and ordinary audiences, Run Run Shaw is the only candidate. Everyone knows that he is very interested in the TV industry. He is also one of the founders of HR. He has long been fully responsible for HR's daily operations and has made the TV station prosperous. Watching HR TV series at night has become a part of the daily life of Hong Kong citizens. Shaw Film Company and H work closely together. Many people who are not aware of it all believe that H is a company under Shaw.

However, Chen Chong knew that if he wanted to compete for the dominance of TVHR, Run Run Shaw might not be able to compete for him, because the largest shareholders of HR are HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, each owning U10,000 shares of H shares. Run Shaw only had 360,000 shares and Li Jiajia only had more than 400,000 shares. With Chen Chong's power to defeat Jardinet, and his good personal relationship with Shen Bi and Li Ka-shing, it was easy to buy millions of shares held by these two companies - because satellite TV technology was not yet mature at this time, the TV station could cover the area and influence very limited, and its profitability was not outstanding. For example, in 1978, when the H ratings were as high as U1 was so nearly monopoly, the profit was only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. For HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, this profit was completely useless.

Run Run Shaw was obviously aware of this, so early the next morning, Chen Chong had just arrived at the company and received an invitation call to attend a banquet at Qingshui Bay Villa in the evening.

"Xiaoyu, I'm going to see Run Run Shaw tonight. Please prepare a gift for me. He is a senior. I, a junior, come to the banquet and cannot go empty-handed."

"What kind of gift?"

"Elegant objects such as calligraphy and painting, or more festive, are fine. Don't be too expensive. Uncle Liu has never seen any world and doesn't care about the value of the gift. Besides, it's too expensive, but it's suspected of showing off and easily annoying."

"OK."

Chen Chong hung up the phone, sat on the chair, thinking about what to say when he met Run Run Shaw tonight.

He had no inappropriate thoughts about H. If he had, he would have taken action long ago. I believe Run Run Shaw knew very well, but there was nothing absolute in the world. Since Chen Chong spent a lot of effort to restart Jiayi TV, it means that he was very interested in the TV station business. It would not be impossible to get H and even Li's TV into it. Anyway, there is no antitrust law in Hong Kong.

If we only look at the business perspective, taking advantage of the instability and low value of H, it will be a huge investment in one fell swoop, but Shen Chong has a bigger goal. He started a TV station, on the one hand because the TV station is an indispensable core of the media group, and on the other hand, it is to use the TV station as a pool to cultivate performing talents.

Chen Chong is not short of money now, and he will not lack money in the future, so the commercial value of HR is nothing to him. He values ​​the ability of TV stations to support people more. The three TV stations compete with each other and cultivate more talents than the two TV stations. Lao Jiayi went bankrupt, and H immediately disbanded the Film Group and stopped shooting unit dramas with 16mm film, which is a clear proof.

But not being interested does not mean that Shen Chong does nothing. Shaw and H have a lot of resources that he urgently needs now, so they can take the opportunity to negotiate and dig some.

He was thinking, and Gu Liwei walked in with Zhang Aijia.

"Mr. Chen, my task has been completed. Sister Zhang likes that office very much."

"Vivian, your attitude of seeking credit and reward is too obvious." Chen Chong replied to Gu Liwei with Zhang Aijia's words last night. He picked up the glass bowl with rainbow candy on the table and said, "I would like to give you a candy."

Gu Liwei smiled and stepped forward, grabbed a candy, and then said goodbye.

"You boss, are you too stingy, are you rewarding your subordinates with candy?"

"What else?" Chen Chong leaned leisurely on the office chair and said with a smile: "Reward a kiss."

Zhang Aijia obviously remembered the romantic charm of rewarding him last night. Her face turned slightly red and her eyes were like water. She complained: "Can you be more serious in the office?"

"Okay, let's talk about the serious business." Chen Chong asked, "Shaw Shaw invited me to dinner tonight. Are you free? Let's go together. Uncle Six's reeling table is a major event in the Hong Kong film industry."

"For you men, the sixth uncle's recession is of course a graceful thing. "It is a custom for Run Run Shaw to open the recession and let his actresses accompany him. Everyone in Hong Kong knows it. As a person in the circle, Zhang Aijia naturally became more clear. She teased: "I'll accompany you, wouldn't it be a lot less interesting?"

"If I had treated me more than ten years ago, I wouldn't have let you go with me if I beat you to death." Chen Chong smiled, and he held his finger and said, "Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Ledi, Youmin, and Li Jing, Zheng Peipei's twelve golden hairpins, are all beautiful beauties, of course I want to get close to you."

"After more than ten years ago, you were a little brat wearing open-crotch pants." Zhang Aijia smiled and said, "What can you do when you see those big stars, even if you get close to them, I'm afraid you can't even explain clearly, right?"

She turned around and smiled and said, "Shaw Brothers now has the new twelve golden hairpins, He Lili and Jing Li, aren't they all great beauties?"

"They are just great beauties, not big stars." Chen Chong shook his head and said, "I just want to meet big stars."

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course there is a difference. The difference between a great beauty and a big star is like the difference between a Mercedes-Benz and a Ferrari." Chen Chong thought for a while and said, "Do you know, the car I drove yesterday, from starting to running 4UU meters, was only seconds slower than a jet combat plane. How about it? Doesn't it sound surprising?"

“So what?”

"This is a legend," Chen Chong made a big talk and said, "Stars are just like famous cars. In addition to being good-looking, they also need to add other things. Famous cars must have strong momentum, legendary experience, halo of competition champions, and the same goes for celebrities. They must have classic works, moving stories, and trophysical queens. Only then can they be considered big stars. Look, Lin Dai is the best actor at the four Asia-Pacific Film Festivals. "The Beauty of the River and the Mountain" and "Diao Chan" are still talked about. Li Lihua has been in the film industry for more than 20 years since Shanghai to Hong Kong. She has been in the Golden Horse Film Festival for two times. Li Hanxiang is her brother, legend, right? Her "Yang Guifei" and "Wu Zetian" are both famous works that have been sensational, Leti, a recognized classical beauty, "A Chinese Ghost Story" amazed the Cannes Film Festival in France, Dream of the Tower" is considered the most beautiful Lin Daiyu, Zheng Peipei is the queen of martial arts, "Golden Swallow" and "The Drunken Hero" are both classics. Only in this way can one be considered a big star."

"He Lili and the others, of course, are great beauties in terms of appearance. Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time. When they debuted, Shaw Brothers was already the world of Zhang Che. Zhang Che has always only made masculine men's movies. These new twelve golden hairpins have acted in dozens of movies. None of them is a representative work worth mentioning, and their charm will be greatly reduced."

"You have really high requirements. If you have to follow your standards, there is no big star in Hong Kong now.

"It's true that there isn't now, it should appear in a few years." Chen Chong said with a smile: "It is said that ten years Hedong, ten years Hexi, the 1960s were the era of female stars, and the 1970s was the world of male actors, so the 1980s must be the era of women making their debut. From this point of view, my spring is coming soon."
