In an office of Lishi, Kang Jianfei had a stalemate with Smithson, the negotiator sent by Davidson Newspaper Group.
In the past few days, Kang Jianfei had talked with Davidson's director representative at LiTV, and also communicated with the Australian side through overseas phone calls. Davidson's 30% TV station shares were priced from 100 million to 80 million.
, it can’t be lowered no matter what.
Judging from the current situation of Lishi, this price is very disadvantageous for Kang Jianfei, but it is also very advantageous.
The disadvantage is that LiTV's shares are not worth so much money, but the advantage lies in LiTV's TV license. If Kang Jianfei misses this opportunity, Kang Jianfei wants to start a TV station in Hong Kong in the future, let alone 80 million, even if it costs several hundred million
Can't get a TV license.
Several Australian consortiums are talking loudly because they are taking advantage of the rarity of Hong Kong TV stations' television licenses.
In a word, whether you like to buy it or not, someone will buy it one day.
Feeling that he really couldn't lower the price anymore, Kang Jianfei could only sigh and said: "Okay, Mr. Smith, I accept your price of 80 million. When can I sign the contract and trade? I really don't want to delay it any longer. One more day will cause the TV station to lose money."
"
"A wise choice." Smith smiled and shook hands with Kang Jianfei. Davidson Newspaper Group purchased Lishi's shares twice, spending less than 60 million and making a profit of 20 million from the resale. This was a very successful investment.
.
The contract has already been drawn up. After the two parties signed the draft contract, they just had to wait for someone from the Davidson headquarters to come over and formally sign the contract.
Immediately afterwards, Kang Jianfei also reached an agreement with Rio Tinto Mining to acquire 24% of its TV station shares at a high price of 60 million.
After negotiating these two transactions, Kang Jianfei's money was reduced by half in an instant. If he also gets Henry Jones's shares, Oriental DreamWorks' cash will basically be drained.
DreamWorks has been established for more than two years, and the most profitable movie is "The Royal Sisters". After selling tens of millions of dollars in the United States, it was distributed by 20th Century Fox in Europe and South America, and then successively earned more than 20 million U.S. dollars at the box office.
.
After more than a year, the total global box office of "The Royal Sisters" reached an astonishing US$84.92 million. Although Kang Jianfei in Europe received a lower box office share, it still earned DreamWorks more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars.
Even in Hollywood, there are very few movies that can reach more than 80 million US dollars at the global box office. Of course, "The Royal Sisters" obviously cannot be compared with "Cannonball Run" produced by Golden Harvest in the United States. The North American box office alone has more than 7,000 US dollars.
Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
Coupled with the box office sales of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "Mr. Zombie 2", "The Little One", "The Story of Hu Yue", "Happy Ghost 2" and "The Wrong Ride" across Asia, Oriental DreamWorks' funds have now been
Reaching 218.4 million.
The only film "City Patrol" that seemed to be a hit on the street also recovered its capital after landing in the Singapore market. It also made a small profit of more than 100,000.
Making movies is very profitable, especially if you have a golden finger and the movies you make will basically be a hit.
In comparison, being a record company is much inferior. Fengxing Records owns the Mandarin singing queen Su Rui, the newly popular singer Anita Mui, and the girl idol group Happy Girls. But in the past two years, Fengxing Records has
The money earned is only about 30 million.
Ahem. Although earning 30 million in two years has already made many record companies jealous.
Now that the fame and status of singers such as Anita Mui have been consolidated, the amount of money spent on promotional packaging will definitely decrease in the future, and their ability to attract money will also be greatly increased. And when Leslie Cheung joins again, the annual profit of Fengxing Records next year may reach
More than 20 million.
Three days later, Kang Jianfei reached deals with Davidson Newspapers and Rio Tinto Mining respectively, spending a huge sum of 140 million to purchase 54% of the shares of Li's TV Station.
By this time, Kang Jianfei's personal ownership of Lishi's shares had reached 70.5%, leaving only 29.5% in the hands of Henry Jones Group.

Chen Shuli transferred the call. She stood at the door of the office and mouthed: "Qiu Degen's call."
Kang Jianfei answered the phone with a smile on his face and said: "Oh, it's Boss Qiu... Talking about the acquisition of Lishi's shares? But I've been very busy these two days... Yes, I've been busy filming a new movie to catch up. It's really only a minute.
I can't afford to delay... How about another day? I'll ask you for afternoon tea on the weekend? Okay, okay, see you then. Bye!"
Kang Jianfei hung up the phone with a feeling of relief. He used delaying tactics to hang up Qiu Degen for a week. Of course, Qiu Degen was probably waiting for him very patiently. After all, Lishi was getting worse every day, and the more he delayed, the more he delayed.
The worse it is for sellers.
Now that Kang Jianfei holds more than 70% of Lishi's shares, he is not worried at all even if Qiu Degen gets the shares of Henry Jones Group.
Qiu Degen was also impatient with Kang Jianfei's repeated delays. He originally wanted to take Kang Jianfei's shares first, and then negotiate with the other three Australian consortiums as a shareholder of the TV station. Now Kang Jianfei is avoiding people, and finally
Qiu Degen lost his patience and called his son Qiu Xiaoping in and said: "Aping, go and get in touch with those Australians first and find out what they say. Based on my understanding of these ghosts, I will definitely do it this time.
Lions speak loudly, so don't be too eager when you talk to them."
Qiu Xiaoping is almost 40 years old. Since he suffered a lot with his father when he was young, he does not have the rich second-generation son-in-law style of Xu Jingheng, and he appears to be quite calm and capable.
After Qiu Xiaoping left, Qiu Degen began to deal with other matters in his hands and did not take the acquisition of the TV station too seriously.
At that time, Qiu Degen and his wife fled to Hong Kong. After working from dawn to dusk, he finally saved thousands of dollars after a few years. He used these thousands of dollars to buy a rural cinema in Tsuen Wan, which screened old movies (copies of new movies) for farmers.
The rent is too expensive) to make money.
Ten years later, Qiu Degen already owned 14 rural cinemas and was called the "Cinema King" by his peers.
Later, due to the death of his wife, Qiu Degen sold the theater in his hand and switched to amusement park, real estate and bank business, gradually becoming the super rich man in Hong Kong today.
The acquisition of LiTV's TV station was actually an idea that came to Qiu Degen on a whim some time ago after he heard someone said that LiTV's management was poor and had been losing money for nearly a year.
Qiu Degen sent people to spend half a month to secretly investigate, and after roughly understanding the situation of Lishi, he decided to take over the TV station. He was very confident in his analysis and believed that based on the current operating situation of Lishi,
It seemed that shareholders such as Kang Jianfei were definitely willing to sell their shares, so he decided to break them one by one.
Two hours after Qiu Xiaoping went out, he suddenly called back and said rather suffocatingly: "Dad, the TV station shares of Davidson and Rio Tinto Mining have been sold to Kang Jianfei."
"Kang Jianfei?" Qiu Degen was surprised.
Qiu Xiaoping said: "Yes. The share transaction has been completed, and now only Henry Jones' side still has 29.5%."
"Then come back." Qiu Degen said and hung up the phone. He thought of Kang Jianfei's deception for more than a week. He was angry and dumbfounded at the same time. He thought that Qiu Degen had been living in Hong Kong for thirty years, but in the end he was
It would be embarrassing for a young boy to hide such a thing from the truth, otherwise it would definitely become a joke among friends.
In fact, Qiu Degen was not determined to acquire LiTV at this time. He did not even have a feasible plan on how to operate LiTV after acquiring it.
Kang Jianfei took action too quickly. Qiu Degen was still in the planning and contact stage, so he vomited blood and captured the target first, even at the cost of being ripped off by the Australian.
After becoming the largest shareholder, Kang Jianfei finally settled down to film "A Better Tomorrow" and no longer took the initiative to contact people from the Henry Jones Group. He only secretly contacted Huang Xizhao and asked Huang Xizhao to come back and take charge of the overall situation of Lishi.
…………
…………
Huang Xizhao is now engaged in the clothing trade. He has been the general manager of Lishi for so many years. He has accumulated a lot of savings and still has the capital to do business.
When Kang Jianfei found him, he found that the former general manager of the TV station was much haggard and had a lot of gray hair on his temples. It was obvious that his life was not going well these days.
"Sit down." Huang Xizhao made a cup of tea for Kang Jianfei, then leaned on his boss chair and asked, "Why is Mr. Kang free to come to my place today?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Guess what."
Huang Xizhao joked: "Are you asking me to go back and be the general manager?"
Kang Jianfei clapped his hands and praised: "Manager Huang has a great calculation. This is why I came here today."
Seeing that Kang Jianfei didn't seem to be joking, Huang Xizhao asked in surprise, "Mr. Kang has the power of Lishi now?"
Kang Jianfei chuckled and said, "Would I make a joke about something like this?"
Huang Xizhao was stunned for a while, then suddenly sighed and said: "What a pity, it would have been better if it had been a few months earlier. Now that most of Lishi's backbone are gone, I won't be able to recruit a few back even if I go back."
Kang Jianfei was very optimistic and said: "Manager Huang, when you took over LiTV, LiTV had just switched from cable TV to wireless, and the ratings were not even a fraction of TVB. There were not many talents at that time, and LiTV had not yet developed.
?Now at least we can recruit a group of capable subordinates."
"Okay..." Huang Xizhao was silent for a long time. After all, he couldn't resist the temptation to go back to hosting a TV station. Compared to managing a TV station, doing business is really boring.
Kang Jianfei said: "Don't spread the news yet. I'll give you half a month to recruit the talents who left LiTV before. When I come back from filming in Taiwan, I will announce the official name change of the TV station."
"Mr. Kang wants to change the name of the TV station?" Huang Xizhao was a little unhappy. He had deep feelings for the name of Li's TV station.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It cannot be destroyed or established. The new name brings a new atmosphere."
After all, the owner has changed, so it is normal to change the name. Huang Xizhao did not dwell too much on this matter and asked: "What name are you going to change Mr. Kang to?"
Kang Jianfei pulled out a piece of paper from the folder, handed it to Huang Xizhao and said: "The phoenix is reborn from the ashes."
Huang Xizhao took a look and realized that Kang Jianfei had not only changed his name, but also designed a new logo for the TV station. He only took a closer look and then smiled and praised: "What a phoenix has risen from the ashes, and will be reborn from the ashes from now on."
