The smile on Cao Weidong's face is quite playful.
"How does Mr. Shao plan to negotiate for peace? Is there a specific charter?"
Mr. Shao said with a shy face.
"I think there is no need for everyone to fight to the death."
"Mr. Cao, please see, our TVB is good at variety shows, and Li's is better at film and television dramas... We can definitely agree on a time with each other and broadcast it at staggered peaks. This way, it will be better for both you and me, and for the audience.
, are all a good thing."
When Mr. Shao said this.
The back molars are almost broken.
If Cao Weidong hadn't obtained Mr. Jin's film and television rights in advance, he wouldn't have compromised like this.
But I don’t have a good script or a good actor...
This means that the situation is stronger than the person.
Mr. Shao suddenly felt a feeling of a late hero.
I am getting old after all...
However, Cao Weidong said something that was neither salty nor bland.
"What Mr. Shao said makes some sense."
Mr. Shao thought there was something interesting and was overjoyed and said.
"Mr. Cao, are you agreeing?"
Cao Weidong decisively refused.
"No, I didn't agree at all."
Mr. Shao frowned and his voice turned cold.
"Mr. Cao, you are going too far."
However, Cao Weidong also sneered a few times.
"Mr. Shao, when Li's family fell behind, I didn't see TVB showing any integrity. We are all businessmen, so there is no need to talk about this kind of situation."
After a pause, Cao Weidong added.
"Mr. Shao wants to have peace talks. It's not impossible... but you need to show some sincerity."
Mr. Shao couldn't help but ask.
"What do you want?"
Cao Weidong revealed his plan.
"I want to invest in Shaw Group, and the shareholding must reach at least 30%."
"Of course, I will purchase these shares according to the market price. Please rest assured, Mr. Shao."
In fact, Cao Weidong had already thought about it repeatedly before deciding to meet Mr. Shao.
He believes that reconciliation with Shaw Brothers is not meaningless.
This should be considered in light of the background of the port city.
During this period, the manager of the port city was the British Hong Kong government.
The British Hong Kong government only regarded Hong Kong City as a cash cow and a nail wedged into the mainland, and had no thought of developing Hong Kong City.
After all, no matter how high-sounding you say it, you can’t hide your colonial identity.
And in the original history.
[TVB]’s Mr. Shao is a typical Anglophile, and has even been awarded a medal by the Queen.
The parent company of [Ledi TV] is also a British company.
Therefore, for the British Hong Kong government, the competition between [TVB] and [Lite] is just a left hand versus a right hand. No matter who loses or wins between them, the right to speak in public opinion is ultimately in its own hands.
But the current situation has undergone some changes.
[Li’s Voice] transferred the ownership of [Li’s TV] to Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong is an out-and-out Chinese.
If [Li's TV Station] completely crushes [TVB] and unifies the public opinion in Hong Kong...
I believe that this is something that the British Hong Kong government is very unwilling to see.
Cao Weidong can foresee it.
When that time really comes, the British Hong Kong government will definitely start to suppress [Lei’s TV] and issue new TV station licenses at the same time, prompting more TV stations to appear.
Therefore, instead of facing the pressure from the British Hong Kong government, it is better to leave [Shaw Group] behind and wait for the moment of Hong Kong's return in peace.
Moreover, Shaw Brothers is also a mainstay company in Hong Kong's film and television industry. If we take 30% of Shaw Brothers' shares, we may be able to find opportunities to control Shaw Brothers Pictures in the future.
In short, for him, this is a choice that has all the benefits and no harm.
However, Mr. Shao's expression changed drastically, and he scolded with a livid face.
"This is absolutely not okay."
Since founding the Shaw Brothers Group, Mr. Shaw has almost regarded the Shaw Brothers Group as his confinement, so until now, he still owns 80% of the shares of Shaw Brothers Pictures.
Transferring 30% of the shares not only weakens his voice, but also makes Cao Weidong the second largest shareholder of Shaw Brothers.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Mr. Shao.
Cao Weidong shrugged.
"Well, we may still need time to consider this matter."
The two parties broke up unhappy.
.......
Back at the Shaw Brothers Pictures Building, Mr. Shaw called the new person in charge and asked him to concentrate all the company's efforts to produce excellent works in the shortest possible time and regain the lost market.
The person in charge felt uneasy.
"What about Shaw Brothers Pictures?"
Mr. Shao's pupils are red.
"All film shooting work has been suspended, and everyone has temporarily transferred to TVB."
The person in charge swallowed his saliva.
He knew that if he failed to fulfill Mr. Shao's request, he would definitely be the next unlucky one.
However, the person in charge looked at Mr. Shao's red eyes, like a gambler's, and pursed his lips for a long time, and finally chose to shut up.
.......
Soon, the order spread throughout Shaw Brothers Studios.
In Shaw Brothers, many people make a living by making movies.
These people are not suitable for filming TV series and variety shows.
What's more, TVB is limited in size and cannot accommodate so many people.
This means that many people will lose their jobs.
However, Mr. Shao was determined to do this and implemented the new policy very forcefully within the company.
Actor's protest?
Staff dissatisfaction?
As long as he is still in Shaw Brothers, who dares to say no?
This makes Cao Weidong very happy.
He never expected that Mr. Shao would make such a stupid move.
But anyway.
This is very beneficial to him.
Cao Weidong immediately drew up a list.
The above are all actors, directors, and screenwriters that he can remember who are direct descendants of the Shaw Brothers.
Then arrange for people to poach people at specific locations with a list.
It went very smoothly, and Cao Weidong recruited a large number of talents from Shaw Brothers.
After all, everyone needs to eat.
If you can’t afford to eat at Shaw’s, what else should you worry about?
And Cao Weidong promised to pay all liquidated damages.
Now these people did not hesitate and turned to Jiahe's arms one after another.
Mr. Shao soon learned about this.
He was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, scolding Cao Weidong bloody.
But now he has no other choice but to go to the dark side.
.......
Cao Weidong shook his neck.
Look away from the work report in front of you.
During this period, [Li's] has developed very rapidly. It has far surpassed [TVB] and returned to the top spot in Hong Kong City's ratings.
Of course Cao Weidong knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
【TVB】Having gathered the power of the entire Shaw Brothers Pictures, he has no idea what kind of work they will produce.
But there’s no point worrying.
Cao Weidong had a deep talk with Huang Xizhao, asked him to be more vigilant, and then got into a private car and went home.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw someone who surprised him.
