"Wei Zhong, I think there is something wrong with the trend these days. Hong Kong's land prices may fall." Shao Yifu, holding chopsticks in his hand, said to a man in his forties across the dining table.
Shao Yifu has two sons and two daughters. The two daughters have been married for many years. The eldest son is running real estate in Singapore - Nanyang is Shao Yifu's foundation. The younger son is running real estate in Hong Kong, which is the Shao Weizhong in front of him.
Shao Weizhong has his own family and usually does not live with Shao Yifu. Today he just brought his wife and children back for a meal.
"How could it possibly fall?" Shao Weizhong said with a smile. He did not agree with his father's guess at all. "Last year's property market bubble was just burst, and it has only recovered for a few months. Judging from the laws of the property market economy, Hong Kong's real estate will at least
It has been rising steadily for more than ten years.”
Shao Yifu said: "Have you not read the newspapers these days? There is a sense of tension between the lines."
Shao Yifu's meaning is very clear, that is, he is afraid that the Sino-British negotiations will affect Hong Kong's real estate. This is nothing new. When there were movements in the mainland in the past, the trend also spread to Hong Kong, and even violent conflicts occurred.
At that time, there was a crazy rumor in Hong Kong that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was going to attack. Rich people sold their properties, packed up their belongings and ran away. Land prices in Hong Kong plummeted for a while, and Li Chaoren's net worth increased sharply because he bought land at the bottom.
Shao Weizhong said nonchalantly: "Even if the negotiations break down, does China really dare to go to war with Britain? It might have happened during the Cultural Revolution, but now China has been calling for reform and opening up. As long as this reform continues, China will not use force
Take back Hong Kong, otherwise the mainland's reform and opening up will not be able to proceed smoothly."
Shao Yifu nodded and said: "What you said makes some sense, but you still have to be more cautious in everything."
Shao Yifu has been brave and hardworking throughout his life. He has always adhered to the principle of "stability" in his actions and has developed step by step until now. Shao Weizhong, however, was very confident and firmly believed in his judgment of the general trend, and did not listen to Shao Yifu's words at all.
"Ding-a-ling-ring, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."
The servant picked up the phone and came over. He whispered in Shao Yifu's ear: "Master, Ms. Fang's phone number!"
Shao Yifu pretended that nothing happened and answered the phone calmly.
Mrs. Shao's wife, Huang Meizhen, looked unhappy for a moment, but then returned to normal, calling her son and her daughter-in-law to eat more vegetables.
Shao Weizhong said: "Mom, you have been in poor health. You should go to the United States to recuperate for a while. If you stay here, you will be angry with that woman."
"Let's talk about it later. Once you're old enough, you can't move if you can." Huang Meizhen said.
The love story between Shao Yifu and Huang Meizhen can definitely be made into a movie.
More than 40 years ago, Shao Yifu had already made a name for himself in Nanyang. His talent was appreciated by a wealthy Singaporean businessman. The wealthy Singaporean businessman often invited Shao Yifu to his home. Huang Meizhen was the girlfriend of the wealthy businessman at the time.
The handsome and talented Shao Yifu fell in love with the beautiful Huang Meizhen at the wealthy businessman's home. The handsome man and beauty soon became infatuated and had a shady affair.
After the wealthy businessman learned that he had been ntr, he laughed it off very generously and married the lovers Shao Yifu and Huang Meizhen.
According to Western fairy tales, that is: the prince and the princess lived happily ever after.
But from the perspective of a house fight, getting married is just the beginning of the story. After the two got married, Shao Yifu, as a Nanyang movie tycoon, naturally had no shortage of beauties around him, and later Fang Yihua appeared.
However, Shao Yifu still respected his original wife very much. Although he took Fang Yihua as his concubine, he did not take her to live in his home. He just often ran around and Fang Yihua rarely came to eat with his original wife.
But Shao Yifu answered the phone a little unhappy. Fang Yihua knew that he was having dinner with his first wife and children and grandchildren tonight, but he actually called at this time. This made Shao Yifu think that Fang Yihua did it on purpose.
Fang Yihua's voice came out on the phone: "Brother Six, something big has happened!"
Shao Yifu asked: "What's the big deal that makes you so anxious that you're calling me right now?"
Fang Yihua said: "The British Prime Minister fell down in Beijing."
"I know about this, is there anything else?" Shao Yifu said impatiently.
Fang Yihua said: "Phoenix Channel's unit drama tonight has been cancelled, and the news is being broadcast!"
Shao Yifu was very surprised and asked: "Mrs. Thatcher just fell down in the morning. The fastest newspaper in Hong Kong will not report it until tomorrow. How can Phoenix TV broadcast it at 8 o'clock in the evening?"
Fang Yihua said: "It's true, I guess Phoenix TV's ratings are soaring now!"
Shao Yifu was silent for a while and said: "It's too late to send reporters to Beijing now. Let the Ministry of Information try to regain the ratings. Anyway, the Sino-British negotiations will be over soon, so it doesn't hurt to let Phoenix TV win for a while.
"
After hanging up the phone, Shao Yifu switched the TV channel to Phoenix Chinese Channel. On the TV, a host was talking nonsense with an international relations expert, and the scene of Mrs. Thatcher wrestling was played over and over again countless times.
In addition, Phoenix Channel's location host also introduced in detail various interesting anecdotes about Mrs. Thatcher and Deng Guilin.
For example, while waiting for the two of them, reporters from various countries were vying for a good shooting position. As a result, a foreign reporter was hit by the lens of a Beijing photographer. The gringo turned around and kicked the Beijing photographer on the waist.
The latter did not show any weakness, picked up his fist and punched him back.
Seeing that the two reporters were about to fight in the Fujian/Jian Hall of the Great Hall of the People, colleagues nearby came to start a fight. At this time, Mr. Deng and Mrs. Thatcher appeared, and the reporter's fight finally subsided.
Shao Yifu changed the channel back to TVB after watching it for a few minutes. He was not in a hurry. In his opinion, making TV programs requires long-term success. Phoenix TV spent a lot of money to send reporters to Beijing, although they could get good results in a short time.
The ratings are good, but it can only be famous for a few days.
As for that "Threesome", it actually invited Jin Yong as a guest speaker, which is simply ridiculous. How many people in Hong Kong would like to watch such a cold talk show? Only some intellectuals will watch it, it is simply
It is impossible to have high ratings.
It is not that there were no talk shows in Hong Kong at this time, but they were usually broadcast after 11:30 pm. If Phoenix Channel aired them at 9:30, it was simply a waste of prime time.

Huang Xizhao handed a ratings form to Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, I still insist on my opinion. Talk shows can be done, but they must be broadcast late at night."
Kang Jianfei picked up the ratings chart and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The first episode has a ratings of 12 points, which is very good."
Huang Xizhao sighed: "That's because Jin Yong was the guest, and the content of the discussion was related to the Sino-British negotiations. You see, Jin Yong was not included in the second episode, and the ratings immediately dropped to only 8 points. LiTV's previous variety shows
Although the program is not as good as TVB's "Happy Tonight", it has never been lower than 15%."
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "How much was the production cost of LiTV's previous variety shows? How much was the production cost of "Threesome"?"
Huang Xizhao was stunned for a moment when asked about this topic. Traditional variety shows require careful preparation in every aspect from planning to recording. But talk shows only require a table and a few water glasses. They just call the guests to have a chat. Most of them are written and directed.
Control the pace of the topic. Apart from anything else, you can save a lot of money on the consumption of film, and the labor expenses are reduced to the extreme.
It can be said that talk shows have the lowest production costs among all TV programs. Even though Jin Yong is famous, if he is invited to record a program, he will not be able to say a few words in the first and second stages, and only pay two to three thousand yuan.
It’s incredible, the average guest can spend just one thousand yuan.
Of course, although Jin Yong's appearance fee is small, it is very difficult to hire. This time Kang Jianfei went to great lengths to hire him. The recording results made Kang Jianfei dumbfounded. For half an hour, Jin Yong
In total, I only spoke a dozen words, and most of the time I was listening and nodding.
Huang Xizhao pondered for a while and found that he really had no good reason to persuade Kang Jianfei to move the talk show to a later time. Because of TVB's "Happy Tonight", Phoenix TV's variety show ratings have always been low. Now this "Happy Tonight"
Although the ratings of "Qiang Qiang Threesome" were slightly lower, the production cost was saved a lot.
Judging from the profitability of the TV station, "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is not much different from the variety shows in the past.
"Let's talk about it after "30 Minutes of Happyness" comes out," Kang Jianfei said.
Huang Xizhao nodded helplessly. He was good at administrative and personnel matters, but his ability in specific program production was not good.
…
The news of Mrs. Thatcher's fall became the headlines of all Hong Kong newspapers the next day. Even the vegetable vendors in the market knew that the British Prime Minister was in trouble this time.
Among the reports on this news, Phoenix TV was the most eye-catching, because it not only sent back live footage, but also broadcast the news on the same day, broadcasting the news before all other media.
Especially those news scenes, where the Iron Lady was full of confidence in front of Deng Guild, but fell down in panic after the meeting. Phoenix TV edited together Mrs. Thatcher's different performances before and after, and the vivid images on the screen are comparable
The cold words were more convincing. People in Hong Kong thought that the Iron Lady was frightened by Mr. Deng this time.
The ratings of Phoenix Channel's news programs have soared, easily beating TVB's unit dramas, with the average ratings remaining at more than 40 points. On the day of Mrs. Thatcher's fall, the highest ratings of Phoenix Channel's news programs even exceeded 80%.
While advertising revenue is skyrocketing, some tabloids in Hong Kong have even begun to buy relevant news from Phoenix TV. In particular, various news and social photos about Beijing are hot commodities for Hong Kong newspapers, bringing them to Phoenix TV.
