When Li Guangyu and Zhang Ziyu came to Jiayi Building, Cao Weiqing was still busy with the charity foundation.
Cao Weiqing saw Li Guangyu coming here and said, "Guangyu, why are you here? Have you finished handling today's affairs?"
Li Guangyu said: "I came over here to see you. Don't be too tired. Many things can be handled directly by Ms. Pan Yinghong. She is very experienced in charity."
"I know, I just want to take a look at the documents of the charity foundation during this period. Do you want me to go over to Guangyu, Japan, the United States, and Europe?" Cao Weiqing said.
Li Guangyu didn't want Cao Weiqing to work so hard at the end of the year, so he said: "Weiqing, just leave this matter to Ms. Pan. I will let the branches in these places cooperate with Ms. Pan's work."
Cao Weiqing didn't want to go out anymore during this period, so he agreed with Li Guangyu's opinion.
Li Guangyu said: "Do you have anything else to deal with? If you don't have us, just go home."
Cao Weiqing said: "Wait a moment, I will sort out these documents."
While Cao Weiqing was processing the documents, Zhang Ziyu came here.
Li Guangyu asked: "Ziyu, what's the matter with you coming here now?"
Zhang Ziyu replied: "Li Sheng, I just received a call from the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Mr. MacLehose invited you and your wife to attend his family banquet."
Li Guangyu didn't know what this man wanted to do with him now. The only thing that was relevant was his return to the mainland this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited himself to attend his family banquet as soon as he returned to Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing returned home and changed their clothes. At 6:30 in the evening, they brought a bottle of red wine as a gift and went to MacLehose's home.
It is said here that it is MacLehose's home, but it is actually the home of every governor, and their residence is Government House.
It's just that this time MacLehose invited Li Guangyu in a private manner, so this time it was not in the banquet hall, but in the villa where MacLehose lived.
When Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing came in, MacLehose and his wife welcomed Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing.
MacLehose said: "Sheng Li, Mrs. Li, please come inside."
After Li Guangyu gave MacLehose the red wine he brought from home, he and Cao Weiqing entered the restaurant with MacLehose and his wife.
Because MacLehose was hosting a banquet for Li Guangyu and his wife tonight, he specially arranged some Chinese dishes. This time MacLehose took great pains.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, thank you and your wife for preparing such a sumptuous dinner for us."
After the dinner, MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, I have something I need to talk to you about."
Li Guangyu also knew that MacLehose would not invite him and Cao Weiqing over unless they had something to do.
Li Guangyu said: "No problem."
Then MacLehose asked his wife to chat with Cao Weiqing, and he took Li Guangyu to the study.
After sitting down in the study, MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, the reason why I invited you here today is because I was entrusted by someone else."
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, could it be that some of the big banks have something to do with you, or are the top managers of HSBC and Standard Chartered having something to do with you? Otherwise, no one in Xiangjiang would be able to ask you to come forward."
MacLehose said: "Li Sheng, if it were a problem on the Xiangjiang side, I think they would have contacted you directly. This time it was the British side who sent the message. I can't help but come forward."
When Li Guangyu heard about the British side, although he didn't know what was going on, he still felt that the problem was difficult. Li Guangyu was not afraid on the Xiangjiang side. He now has a wide network of contacts on the Xiangjiang side. But the British government asked Xiangjiang
If a mandatory order is issued here, Li Guangyu will be in big trouble.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, I only have a few branches in England, and they are mainly for sales. There seems to be no problem."
MacLehose said: "Li Sheng, don't think too much. We have always protected legitimate enterprises and will not target them in any way. This time it is still a problem on the Xiangjiang side."
Li Guangyu heard that Xiangjiang didn't have too much worry and said: "Mr. MacLehose, please speak."
In fact, MacLehose was reluctant to come forward, but he persuaded some people in the parliament and asked the government to give him an order, even if he didn't come forward.
MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, there are currently three major TV stations in Hong Kong, and two of them are in the hands of you Chinese. Only Li's TV station is now under the control of Ying Lun Li's Voice Group. There is now rumors in the British side of your Chinese consortium.
We are jointly attacking the British-funded consortium."
Only then did Li Guangyu understand that this incident originally started because of Li's TV station, and Li's voice was quite shameless. The TV station couldn't compete with Jiayi and Shaw Brothers, so it moved the government out, and it even escalated to the level of a Chinese-funded consortium suppressing British companies.
The height of the capital consortium.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, this rumor is an exaggeration. You must know that Hong Kong has always been dominated by British-funded consortiums. Even if our Chinese families unite, they are just joining the group to keep warm. It is said that our Chinese-funded consortium is suppressing the British."
Capital consortium, that’s just a joke.”
MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, although the reality may be somewhat inconsistent with the rumors, the MPs in England don't care about this, and the British side feels that the existence of Li's TV station and its control by the British Consortium is harmful to everyone.
favorable."
Li Guangyu was speechless. Is this beneficial to everyone? It is obviously only beneficial to the British and the British-funded consortium, but this is for everyone's benefit.
Li Guangyu knew that this was because the British government did not want to give up control of public opinion in Hong Kong. If Li's closed down, British influence on the TV station would be almost gone.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, isn't Li's TV station there? We don't have a TV station targeting Li."
When MacLehose heard what Li Guangyu said, he felt that Li Guangyu was really thick-skinned. He also said this. Li's TV station has been suppressed so miserably by Jiayi and Wireless, and no one has even changed hands now. He
He can also plausibly say that there is nothing against Li.
MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, do you really not understand Li's current situation? You and TVB are not merciful to Li's at all. They suppress her on the show, and the top management uses good treatment to poach people. If it weren't for Li's
If Li’s cries persist in trying to sell it at a good price, Li’s can just declare bankruptcy.”
Li Guangyu still doesn't know the specific situation of Li, but he still has some understanding from some news and some things reported to him by Zhang Ziyu.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, you also know that I have basically been away from Xiangjiang for the past month. I really don't understand these things. Besides, Li's program is not good. You can't blame us. We are here to help
Xiangjiang citizens provide high-quality programs for them to watch, and it is up to Lai's TV station to keep up with it. This is not us targeting Lai, it is Lai's own lack of intention and being eliminated by the citizens."
MacLehose said: "Sheng Li, we hope that your three TV stations can lend artists to each other, instead of you and TVB. We also hope that you and TVB's top management can stop poaching talents specifically for Li.
"
When Li Guangyu heard what MacLehose said, it seemed that the British side had given him the order, otherwise MacLehose would not have made such an unreasonable request.
Li Guangyu has memorized Li's voice group. When the opportunity arises in the future, Li Guangyu won't mind giving him a push from behind.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, as for the mutual loan of artists, we can issue an announcement. As for whether the artists are willing to go, it is not up to me. As for the poaching you mentioned, I will go back and ask, if
I would tell them to stop. But if Li’s talents voluntarily come to work for us at Jiayi, I will definitely not turn them away.”
MacLehose was just forced by the pressure from the British side. Now that Li Guangyu has given himself and the British government face, he doesn't care anymore. As for Li's TV station, who can he blame if he doesn't do well?
MacLehao said: "Then thank you Li Sheng for your cooperation."
