219 [Lishi's Dilemma]
Zhao Yazhi was wearing a white home clothes, her hair was tied up casually, and she also had a smell of just finished bathing. She sat next to Kang Jianfei with a plate of washed apples carefully peeling the fruit skin, and asked curiously: "Why are you interested in watching TV today?"
Kang Jianfei crossed his legs, reached out to bring Zhao Yazhi into his arms, pointed to the TV where the advertisement was being played and asked with a smile: "Sister Zhi, how about you tell me I bought Li's TV station?"
Zhao Yazhi stopped the movements in his hand, looked at Kang Jianfei in surprise and said, "You really want to start a TV station?"
Kang Jianfei nodded slightly and said, "Yesterday, I had a cup of tea with McDonald's of Lishi. He heard that the interior of Lishi is now in chaos. Lishi employees are moving, and many of them are planning to quit their jobs and leave, and some are even in contact with the TVB."
Zhao Yazhi asked: "Why? Although Lishi's ratings during this period are not as good as TVB, it is still doing well."
Kang Jianfei explained: "Seven months ago, Lishi's British parent company failed to invest in Canada and decided to shrink its business in Asia, so it transferred all the shares (61.2%) in Lishi to three Australian consortiums. Now, Lishi's three new owners lack confidence in Lishi's TV station due to ratings and financial problems, so they sent many Australian executives to reform the TV station. A series of personnel appointments caused rumors in the TV station. Some said that the new shareholders wanted to withdraw their investment, and Lishi's TV station would go bankrupt like Jiayi TV station; some said that the new owner was preparing to remove general manager Huang Xizhao. Well, this statement should be true, and the rumors that Lishi was going to go bankrupt should also be released by Huang Xizhao's confidants..."
Zhao Yazhi said: "Are you going to buy Lisi shares from those Australian consortiums? That would cost a lot of money."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Seven months ago, the 61.2% Lishi shares sold for HK$120 million, which is not very expensive, but what I want to buy now is not those."
What Kang Jianfei wants to acquire is not the shares of the three new Australian shareholders, but the 39.8% shares in the hands of other old shareholders. As long as these shares are obtained, Kang Jianfei will be the largest shareholder of Lishi.
In addition, the 39.8% Lishi shares are in the hands of several British people, so they should be easy to acquire.
Although China and the UK have not yet formally contacted the Hong Kong issue, the media quarrels between China and the UK have been in progress for more than a year. Many British businessmen have more or less realized the idea of tidying up and running away in Hong Kong, fearing that they will be unlucky if they start to fight.
Moreover, although Hong Kong's economy has been booming rapidly in recent years, Hong Kong's British-funded groups have retreated and have given up control of the Hong Kong economy. The British business in Hong Kong has become increasingly difficult. This year, the Hong Kong stock market has plummeted, and many British-funded companies have suffered great losses. They actually urgently need cash turnover.
Again. Although Lishi has one or two dramas supported this year, its overall ratings are constantly declining. In addition, major shareholders leave, new shareholders are indisputable, TV stations are unstable, and financial problems are also very serious. British shareholders of those TV stations are definitely willing to sell their shares.
Kang Jianfei was thinking about how much money he could use to take down those TV shares, and the programs on the TV had already begun.
Anita Mui on TV dressed in a ladylike outfit. After the host Mao Shunjun greeted the audience, he said: "...We have the honor tonight to invite the most popular new singer in Hong Kong, she is Anita Mui! Hello, Ah Mei."
Anita Mui waved to the camera and said, "Hello Sister Harrow Yun, everyone, I am Anita Mui, I am very happy to be a guest at Lishi today."
Zhou Huimin and Yaqin both gathered at Awei's house. Because only Awei's house has color TVs, Zhou Huimin's TVs are black and white.
Seeing Anita Mui waving to greet him on the TV, Zhou Huimin had to be a little more reserved, while the other two girls were already screaming excitedly.
Because Anita Mui rarely appears in public since she released the record, and she has only been on the show for the second time. Her loyal fans are naturally excited when they see Anita Mui appear.
Mao Shunjun asked with a smile: "Amei, what is the difference between this time I came to record the show and the last time?"
Anita Mui said: "There is a big difference. When I recorded the show last time, the record had not been released yet, so I was very nervous."
Mao Shunjun smiled and said, "Your songs are very popular now. "Thousands of Songs" are being played in the streets and alleys, so do you feel very relaxed this time?"
Anita Mui was still shy in front of the camera and said, "Fortunately, the pressure is not as high as last time."
Mao Shunjun said: "I heard that your record of "Thousand Thousand Que Songs" has sold over 50,000 copies, and 50,000 copies is the sales of platinum. You are the first to sell new records in Hong Kong."
Anita Mui said in surprise: "Really? What an accident."
Mao Shunjun said funnyly: "Why should you give a speech on the award at this time?"
Anita Mui said seriously: "The first thing I want to thank for this record is my mother. She has raised the four of us brothers and sisters with hard work. The second thing I want to thank is Mr. Kang Jianfei, who is my mentor and benefactor. "Thousand Thousand Queges" is also his work..."
As Anita Mui spoke, she stood up and bowed to the camera and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kang, for giving me this opportunity..."
Mao Shunjun then talked to Anita Mui about interesting things when recording "Thousands of Songs", and then brought them to the Chinese Rookie Singing Competition, and then hacked the TVB and Huaxing Records.
Finally, the topic slowly turned to Anita Mui's childhood. She lost her father at the age of four and went on stage to support her family. When she was in school, she was ridiculed and insulted by her teachers and classmates. The boy dropped out of school because of a fire in her family's dance hall. Finally, she was eliminated in a singing competition...
One hardship after another was told, and the three girls Zhou Huimin in front of the TV couldn't help but shed tears for their idols. Especially Zhou Huimin, who had lost her father since she was a child and was raised by her mother alone. She always felt that her life was very hard, but now compared with Anita Mui, she found that she lived a happy life. Although she had fewer new clothes and toys, her mother never let her endure hunger.
This was discussed by Fengxing Records and the Lishi program team, just to help Anita Mui earn tears of sympathy and fans, and also to make the program more interesting and touching.
After telling Anita Mui's tragic childhood experience, the ratings of the show really increased a lot, and the hotline after the show was even more blew up.
After watching the show, Zhou Huimin ran home quickly, and as soon as she got home, she broadcasted the TV station's hotline over and over again. It took half an hour to call before dialing. The staff on the TV station began to ask her name and address, and then asked Zhou Huimin to wait for good news.
It was not until three days later that Zhou Huimin received a package from Li's TV station at school. When she opened it, she found a vinyl record signed by Anita Mui, and there was also a letter attached, which read: "Hello, Zhou Huimin. After Miss Anita Mui's personal lottery, you have become the lucky one for all hotline audiences and can attend Anita Mui's Christmas singer party on December 25 this year..."
Before he finished reading the letter, Zhou Huimin was stunned and didn't even notice that the vinyl record fell to the ground.
Yaqin came over and asked, "Isn't it the love written by any boy?"
But Awei snatched the letter and read it, then exclaimed suddenly: "Ah, I want to go too..."

…………
When "Thousands of Songs" was just released, many industry insiders had predicted that this record would most likely sell platinum sales, but the situation in the future made many veteran musicians stunned.
Half a month after "Thousands of Quege" was released, its sales were still growing rapidly. Especially after Anita Mui made a show at Lishi, her unfortunate childhood moved many uncles and aunts, causing Anita Mui's fans to rise from 60 years old to 10 years old, and record sales soared.
The last sales volume of "Thousands of Songs" in Hong Kong was more than 237,000, and it was ranked first on the record sales chart for more than half a month, making other Hong Kong singers and music producers speechless.
Alan Tam is so famous in the music industry. Last year's "Love You So Mad" only sold 50,000 copies. This year's "Can't Forget You" was so popular that it finally sold 200,000 copies, reaching a new peak in his singer career.
Alan Tam has been in the music industry for nearly ten years, but was defeated by the first record of Anita Mui, the newcomer.
Anita Mui is so popular that she is so popular that she is so famous that she is catching up with Xu Xiaofeng, the number one sister in Hong Kong music scene.
Fengxing Records Company has also become famous. Although Su Rui's "Drink Wine" is sold wildly, it caused a sensation in Taiwan and Southeast Asia after all, and the response in Hong Kong is not so strong.
This time, "Thousands of Songs" made Fengxing Records Company a hit, and what made Deng Yimin even more happy was that Kang Jianfei actually told Lishi's general manager Huang Xizhao, and let Fengxing Records Company reach a cooperation agreement with Lishi. In the future, any theme songs and interludes of Lishi's TV series will be released by Fengxing Records Company.
Why is Kang Jianfei so awesome?
Because Kang Jianfei and Huang Xizhao had a private secret agreement.
Since he planned to acquire Lishi shares, Kang Jianfei began to have frequent contact with Huang Xizhao, the general manager of the TV station.
Kang Jianfei directly pointed out his intention, that is, he wanted to buy Li's TV station, hoping that Huang Xizhao could provide information and help in secret. Kang Jianfei's conditions were very simple, that is, after he became Lishi's largest shareholder, he would continue to serve as Huang Xizhao as the general manager and give him 3% of his dry shares.
Huang Xizhao is a very capable person. Lishi developed it in his hands, and even surpassed the TVB's ratings for a time. However, after changing to a new owner, although he did not directly remove his position as general manager, he sent several Australian executives to point fingers at various production links of the TVB, making the matter in the station a mess.
