A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the Hong Kong government to issue the third TV station license.
As TV station practitioners, Zhang Zhonghua and Shao Liushu came to the Hong Kong government together.
Of course, they all came here to watch the fun, and by the way, they also attended a meeting of the Broadcasting Authority.
However, Uncle Shao came to the meeting seriously, while Zhang Zhonghua came here simply to join in the fun. He did not hold any position in the TV station, and he was not responsible for specific affairs.
The main people who actually participated in the competition for the third photo were He Zuozhi from Hong Kong Commercial Channel, Qiu Degen from Far East Group, Huang Tingfang from Singoku Xinhe Group, etc. Even Kenzo Iwahara, the president of Japan's NHK TV station, came.
Most of them are companies that come to accompany us.
Although they knew that the possibility of obtaining the third photo was very slim, they still came to the Hong Kong government to participate in the competition in the hope of obtaining the third TV station license despite the slim possibility.
Zhang Zhonghua clasped his fingers and looked at these companies competing for the third photo, and kept complaining in his heart. Even companies from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries came here to join in the fun.
What you think is too beautiful, right?
To be honest, it doesn't matter whose hands Zhang Zhonghua ends up taking this third photo, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Japan's NHK.
However, the ownership of this TV station license has been determined. It must belong to He Zuozhi of Hong Kong Island Commercial Station. Others just came with a little hope.
Zhang Zhonghua and Shao Liushu are also different. They are purely watching the fun.
Zhang Zhonghua smiled and felt very interesting looking at Qiu Degen, who looked bitter and full of hatred.
Originally, Qiu Degen purchased 50% of the equity of Li's TV Station in 1982, renamed it "Asia TV", reorganized the organization, and served as chairman of the board of directors.
Then he invited two capable people from the film and television industry, Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming, to serve as producer and program manager respectively, responsible for the production business of "ATV".
The two of them lived up to Qiu Degen's high expectations and successively released films such as the period martial arts films "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", and "Huo Tung Pavilion".
But now that we have acquired Lai's TV station, there will definitely be a lot of changes in the Hong Kong TV station industry in the future.
Not only the television industry, but also the employees working in well-known TV series and movies in the future will also undergo great changes.
Wonderful TV series such as "Shanghai Beach", "The Legend of White Snake", "Under the Lion Rock" and so on will definitely appear. Of course, even if they don't appear, Zhang Zhonghua will let them appear, but I don't know if the main actors of these TV series will still appear.
They will be the same people.
In this era, the television industry was not very developed, and most of the future famous stars had not debuted.
Future big names like Lou Dehua and others basically debuted during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
People like Chow Yun-fat, who are familiar to almost everyone, are a little earlier. Chow Yun-fat made his debut in 1974 after graduating from the TVB training class.
Ng Mang-tat and Uncle Tat also applied for the TVB training class in 1973, and could be considered classmates with Chow Yun-fat.
And our eldest brother Sammo Hung has indeed made his debut a long time ago. The reason why Sammo Hung has such a high status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is that his Hung family has indeed brought out a large number of stars.
On the other hand, it is also because he debuted early. Sammo Hung was born in 1949 and made his debut as a child actor in 1961. This was the year that Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings Lou Dehua and Jacky Cheung were born, while the other two would not be born for another five or six years.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Four Heavenly Kings grew up watching Sammo Hung's dramas. In addition, he brought out a series of stars such as Cao Rong, Qian Jiale, Meng Hai, Zou Zhaolong, Yuan Kui, Yuen Wah, Eric Tsang, and even Eternal.
Lin Zhengying is also a member of the Hong family class, so whoever has higher status than Sammo Hung is.
Just when Zhang Zhonghua was thinking wildly, the bidding for the third TV license in Hong Kong Island began. The person in charge of the Hong Kong Radio and Broadcasting Authority walked onto the stage and began to talk non-stop: "Welcome all friends, on behalf of the Hong Kong government
The Governor would also like to thank everyone for their attention to Hong Kong Island’s television industry.
Over a period of time, we have received bidding documents from X companies in total. These companies include: Far East Group, Hong Kong Island Commercial Station...
Foreign companies include: Xinhe Group of China, NHK Television Group of Japan, XXX Group of Malaysia, XXX Company of Luzon...
Thank you all for your optimism about Hong Kong Island’s future television industry and your support for the work of the Hong Kong government...
The Hong Kong government invited experts from Daiying to conduct actual inspections of the bidding companies and combined the bidding documents of each company.
In the end, it was believed that the planning of Jiayi TV Station of Hong Kong Island Commercial Station was the most perfect, and it was decided to award Hong Kong Island Commercial Station’s third television license.
On behalf of the Governor of Hong Kong, I congratulate Hong Kong Island Commercial Station for obtaining its third television station license. I hope that Jiayi TV Station can assume its due responsibilities and strive to serve the citizens of Hong Kong Island...
Bala, bala, bala, bala..."
The person in charge of the Broadcasting Authority talked incessantly for twenty minutes, making everyone feel sleepy.
However, everyone is paying attention to the final bidding results. Although everyone is well aware of the final results, they still feel a little helpless after hearing the final results.
Even though they know that they won't win the bid, these companies from Hong Kong Island still come. There can't be only one Hong Kong Island commercial station on the entire Hong Kong Island bidding, and the others are overseas companies, and finally it is given to the Hong Kong Island commercial station. That would be too much of a scene.
Ugly.
Companies on Hong Kong Island must give face to the Hong Kong government. If they can’t be together under the same roof, they have to bow their heads. If you don’t give them face, the Hong Kong government will make you feel uncomfortable. And what if...
When Qiu Degen heard the final bidding result, he sighed helplessly. He knew the result but still had a glimmer of hope. Now the last glimmer of hope has been dashed.
Qiu Degen understood that this should be the last license for Hong Kong Island. After all, Hong Kong Island is so big that it cannot accommodate too many TV stations. Three is a bit too much. Far East Group may not be able to enter the TV field in a short time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiu Degen understands that it is difficult for Jiayi TV Station to survive. The only hope for his Far East Group to enter the television field is to wait for Jiayi TV Station to be attacked by Wireless TV Station and Jade Emperor TV Station
B.
However, Jade Emperor TV Station is now the dominant TV station in Southeast Asia, and Wireless TV Station has been established for more than three years. Let Jiayi TV Station, which is subject to a lot of restrictions, compete with Jade Emperor and Wireless TV Station. It is simply courting death.
As for how Qiu Degen allowed the TV station to survive?
This is not easy. If Zhang Zhonghua and Zhang Sheng are invited to invest in the TV station, they will be part of the same family as Yuhuang TV. Then his TV station and Yuhuang TV will attack TVB.
Qiu Degen believes that this is the only way out, but it is too early to think about this. He can only wait until the Hong Kong government re-issues the third TV station license after Jiayi TV Station collapses.
"Ahua, He Zuozhi and his Jiayi TV station are very likely to start broadcasting in April. After all, Hong Kong Island Commercial Station has been preparing for it for several months in advance, so we have to prepare in advance!
It’s quite funny to say that there are currently less than 300,000 TV sets in Hong Kong Island, but there are indeed three TV stations. It’s really interesting.”
Uncle Shao Liu said with a smile.
"Uncle Six, the competition in the field of televisions in various countries around the world is becoming more and more fierce. In a few years, the price of televisions will be greatly reduced. In the future, more and more people will buy them. There are not many TV stations at all.
It’s absolutely possible to survive.”
Zhang Zhonghua said helplessly.
Damn Sony.
Nowadays, all the major TV giant companies in the world are significantly reducing their prices in America, which will inevitably lead to substantial price reductions in Europe in the future.
The number of TV sets in America now exceeds 30 million, and America’s TV market has long been saturated.
And Sony is still dumping TV sets in America at low prices, allowing American family TV sets to be constantly updated and directly occupying the American market.
With Sony messing up like this, other TV giants around the world have to cut prices in developed European countries in order to survive.
After all, if TVs are not updated, where will the market and profits come from? And if you don’t lower your prices, others will lower their prices. When others occupy the market, you will not be able to survive.
Sony's dumping strategy is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to itself, but Sony doesn't care. If it loses less than others, then it can drive others to death.
However, although it has an impact on Yuhuang Electric, it will not cause Yuhuang Electric to go bankrupt. You must know that many small companies can only close down in tears and be divided by other large manufacturers.
Dumping in electrical appliances is simply a matter of giants bankrupting small and medium-sized companies, and then giant companies re-divide the market. After the giants completely occupy the market, they then raise the prices and sell them. Consumers who want to buy electrical appliances can only buy the products of these giants with increased prices.
"Ahua, your Yuhuang Electrical Appliances now has a full range of products. I've calculated that you produce all the products that are plugged in."
Uncle Shao Liu said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"Well... it seems about the same. In fact, most electrical products are not technically difficult. As long as you have money to buy equipment and go to university to recruit some college students in related majors, they can be produced in a few months.
The reason why electrical appliance companies are allowed to produce as many electrical appliances as possible in various categories is to enrich the products and allow users to identify with the brand. Can all electrical appliances be purchased with just one brand?
The second is for technology accumulation. As long as we accumulate enough technology, once a new category of electrical appliances appears in the future, we can quickly complete the technology assembly and produce mature products."
"Well, I don't know much about technology, and I don't care. What I care about is when will the price of TVs in Southeast Asia be significantly reduced?"
Uncle Shao Liu asked.
"It's hard to say. At present, the international TV giants are trying hard to seize the American and European markets, and have no time to pay attention to the Southeast Asian market. The current consumption power in Southeast Asia is still a little weak.
However, the economy in Southeast Asia will experience a period of rapid development in the next few years. In a few years, the world’s TV giants will also vigorously enter the Southeast Asian market. By then, the price of Southeast Asian TV sets will inevitably drop significantly.”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
Uncle Shao still agreed with Zhang Zhonghua's words. After all, Zhang Zhonghua's authority was still very high.
Once major TV giants enter the Southeast Asian market in the future, TV prices will inevitably drop significantly, and a good time for TV stations is coming.
I just don’t know if the newly established Jiayi TV Station can survive until then. The daily prescribed educational programs will have a huge impact on the TV station.
Thinking of this, Uncle Shao couldn't help but laugh. He had discussed with the person in charge of Yuhuang TV to launch a children's program together.
"Uncle Six, our Hong Kong Island is the fastest growing place in Southeast Asia, and TV sets must be the first to become popular. However, the possibility of significant price reductions in a short period of time is not very high."
Zhang Zhonghua added.
Next year, when everyone in Hong Kong stocks stocks, the people of Hong Kong will have money, so the price of TV sets will be nothing more than a trivial matter.
The establishment of Jiayi TV Station this year can be regarded as the right time, place and people. It caught up with the good time for development, which gave Jiayi a lot of chances of survival. However, it is estimated that it will still be unable to escape the fate of bankruptcy. As for when it will collapse,
Then we can only leave it to fate.
However, whether Jiayi can survive has nothing to do with Zhang Zhonghua. Yuhuang TV is not on the same level as them. Not only can it conduct global live broadcasts, it also has TV stations in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia and other places, fully radiating
All of East Asia.
"Shao Sheng, Zhang Sheng, our Jiayi TV station will start broadcasting in April. Then we will need your two TV stations to give you a lot of advice."
The high-spirited He Zuozhi came to the two tycoons and said very politely.
At present, Jiayi TV Station is still in its embryonic stage, not even an infancy. Let alone the studio, even the office building is temporary now.
The two big mountains of Jade Emperor and Wireless made his scalp numb, but he still had to bite the bullet and say hello.
If Jiayi TV wants to shoot a TV series in the future, although Far East Group's Songcheng location can also film it, it will still have to rent the studios of Shaw Brothers Film Company and Yuhuang TV.
Before his own studio was built, He Zuozhi had to give in to these two people.
"He Sheng, this is all for the development of Hong Kong Island's television industry. We work together to bring more excellent programs to the general public."
Uncle Shao Liu said with a smile.
"Why are you so polite? Let's work together to serve the people of Hong Kong Island. If you need anything, just contact the TV station directly."
Zhang Zhonghua said politely.
"Thank you both very much. I'm going to bother you with the technical aspects of the TV station."
He Zuozhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two people's answers. Since the two of them had spoken out their words, they would naturally not go back on their words.
If these two people don't let go, he will have to arrange for people to study in Japan, which will cost a lot more.
After finishing their polite greetings, the three of them walked into the Broadcasting Authority's conference room together. At this time, Huang Xizhao and Fang Yihua had been waiting for a long time. The meeting officially started soon after the three arrived.
