Lin Zuhui came to the ATV Headquarters Building at No. 81 Broadcasting Road and met with Chief Executive Officer Selina Chow in the office.
Zhou Liang Shuyi did not dare to make excuses, let alone rely on Zheng Yutong's support to reduce her respect for Lin Zuhui.
Because she learned from Uncle Tong that the acquisition of ATV was proposed by Lin Zuhui. Uncle Tong also revealed that the real boss of ATV is Lin Zuhui, and he is just the person in front.
What's more, Lin Zuhui is also a media tycoon in Hong Kong, and his own experience is legendary. With such a boss, Shuyi Zhou is naturally convinced.
After Lin Zuhui invited Zhou Liang Shuyi to sit down, he asked: "How is the company's poaching going?"
At this time, it has been almost two months since the new consortium entered ATV, and there should be some progress, so Lin Zuhui asked.
Zhou Liang Shuyi reported seriously: "Whether it's in front of the stage or behind the scenes, many people have agreed or been reluctant to come to our ATV. After they learned that you and Uncle Tong were behind ATV, they all expressed their optimism...
..A large number of TVB’s front and backstage pillars, including Cheng Shaoqiu, Simon Shum, Wang Mingquan, Li Xiangqin, Lu Haipeng, etc., expressed their interest in passing the contract."
Lin Zuhui nodded, these cast members are quite good, it seems that this woman is really cruel to her former boss!
It makes sense that each has its own master, not to mention that as early as 1978, Shu-Yi Chow had resigned from TVB.
Lin Zuhui said: "While poaching, you must also ensure that our backyard is not poached by TVB. Therefore, ATV's regular staff and management will all receive a 30% salary increase. You can spread the word for me. I will tell Uncle Tong later."
Can."
After saying that, Lin Zuhui looked at Shuyi Zhou to see what she would choose.
Zhou Liang Shuyi still doesn't know what Lin Zuhui means. If she dares to say it and get the chairman's approval, she may fall out of favor in the future.
Therefore, she said without hesitation: "Okay, I will take my colleagues to thank the boss!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. This woman is not stupid. She knows who ATV ultimately belongs to! If he hadn't been worried that the Hong Kong government would suspect that he had too much influence in the media field, he would never have let Zheng Yutong's shares become larger than his own.
Of course, Zheng Yutong did not compete with Lin Zuhui for anything. Anyway, the two of them cooperated quite happily.
Lin Zuhui added: "A screenwriter from DreamWorks submitted a story to me and said that he planned a program. I will tell you and you can organize a group to study it!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi said quickly: "Okay, boss, please tell me!"
She suspected that the boss had many ideas of his own and could not leave all the management to him. After all, he was a media king. How could it be possible without some skills?
"This TV program is called 'Prize Doorman'. It invites popular artists to play games and compete for bonus prizes, but the style is "spoof" to attract the audience. The host's gags are normal, and he can also make fun of the celebrities' scandals and negative news.
The parties concerned were also merciless when they were present. A wide variety of game sessions were designed. In addition to the regular fun sessions, they could also completely "make celebrities look stupid". I believe that watching each screen idol being "tricked", the audience would often
Laughing with joy...These fun games suitable for all ages, such as "Singapore", "Spicy Sushi", "Ping Pong Wave", and "Big TV", will surely amuse the audience.
.”
TV programs are easier to pick up than movie script outlines. Some interesting games, Lin Zuhui was decades ahead of the times, just talking about a few are enough to increase the ratings.
At this time, Zhou Liang Shuyi quickly recorded it with paper and pen, feeling a little uneasy. Just by dictating it, she had already discovered that this program was very entertaining and would most likely be welcomed by the audience.
"Boss, this is a great idea. Should we give your screenwriter a position and let him participate in the preparations!" Zhou Liang Shuyi's face lit up and she said excitedly.
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "No, I have bought out his idea. The rest is the TV station's business. He needs to concentrate on writing. By the way, I like Eric Tsang as the host of this TV show. He is very suitable.
There are no two candidates for this show, you can arrange it!"
Shuyi Zhou nodded quickly and said, "Well, I will definitely pay attention to this program and communicate well with Eric Tsang."
After Zhou Liang Shuyi left, Lin Zuhui stretched himself, ATV needed to take it step by step, and he also released his own ideas step by step.
However, the top priority is to buy the remaining shares of Qiu Degen, make his shareholding equal to that of Zheng Yutong, and then slowly take control of ATV in his own hands.
Then, Lin Zuhui got up and planned to go to the drama production department to have a look! His orders could not be conveyed only through Shuyi Zhou, he needed more confidants.
At the corner of the corridor, a reckless girl almost collided with Lin Zuhui, and was so frightened that bodyguard A Jun almost beat her up.
"Boss, I'm sorry!" the girl apologized quickly. She was so frightened by A Jun's eyes just now.
Lin Zuhui signaled Ajun not to be nervous and said to the girl with a smile: "Are you Ye Zhiming's sister Ye Yuqing?"
Ye Yuqing nodded quickly and said, "Boss, you know me!"
Lin Zuhui said: "Your brother showed me your photo!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yuqing's face turned red. She knew that her brother was cooperating with DreamWorks to open a record company, and he often showed off that he had played with the tycoon Lin Zuhui several times. But she didn't expect that her brother would directly show his photos to others.
, are you promoting yourself?
But are you promoting acting resources, or that aspect?
"Boss, where are you going? Do you want me to show you the way?"
Ye Yuqing quickly reacted and found an opportunity.
"Go to the drama production department, take me there!"
"good!"
On the way, Lin Zuhui took the initiative to express concern: "I heard from your brother that your acting career has always been tepid!"
Ye Yuqing nodded gently and said: "Well, I made some works that were not popular. Maybe I didn't work hard enough!"
She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lin Zuhui's straightforward words. Maybe he wanted to help her!
"It's difficult. The entertainment industry usually doesn't become popular at the beginning, and it becomes more difficult later!"
Ye Yuqing's face froze. What this boss said was so shocking!
Fortunately, Lin Zuhui's next words made Ye Yuqing's face light up.
"Leave me a phone number and we'll talk later!"
"Well, thank you boss!"
Asking Ajun to take down the phone number, Lin Zuhui also came to the drama production department, and Ye Yuqing left on her own initiative.
"Hi boss!"
The staff greeted him one after another, saying that Lin Zuhui's appearance was certainly no longer a secret. Maybe no one would recognize him on the street, but he could still be easily recognized in his own company.
"Boss, you're here!" Li Zhaoxiong, the head of the drama production department, happened to be there and took the initiative to greet him.
"Well, come and recognize the door! Manager Li, introduce me to everyone!"
"OK!"
When Lin Zuhui came this time, in addition to identifying the door, he also came specifically to beat up the 'traitor' Li Zhaoxiong. As far as he knew, Li Zhaoxiong later worked in TVB.
After getting to know the staff, Lin Zuhui came to Li Zhaoxiong's office.
"Manager Li, after the president recruits the company's personnel, I plan to launch several major investment dramas, so you must be mentally prepared!"
When Li Zhaoxiong heard what Lin Zuhui said as a "big investment drama", the first reaction in Li Zhaoxiong's mind was "really big production". After all, where does Lin Zuhui's reputation come from?
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Recently, all employees will have a 30% salary increase. As leaders, you must stabilize the company. Especially you, the head of the drama department, not only must stabilize the talents of your department, but you must also take the initiative to
Poaching from outside!”
When he heard about the 30% salary increase, Li Zhaoxiong's eyes jumped and he felt very happy!
"Well, I will definitely take the initiative!"
Next, Lin Zuhui expressed his importance to Li Zhaoxiong intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately gained Li Zhaoxiong's loyalty.
Who is this person in front of him? He is a bigger plutocrat than Shao Laoliu, but the king of Xiangjiang media. He personally came to win over him, and Li Zhaoxiong felt that he must do a good job.
Finally, Lin Zuhui said: "I will give you a list of artists. Go and contact them and tell them that we are going to make a big investment series and hope to sign them; even if they don't sign, as long as they can star in it, it will be fine!"
"Boss, please tell me!"
"Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Qingyun, Lan Jieying, Zhou Huimin, Liu Songren. Tell them that the salary is higher than that of TVB, and we, ATV, will spend huge sums of money to change the public's impression of us, and we may not lose to TVB in the future."
Li Zhaoxiong said immediately: "Don't worry, boss, I'll try my best! Liu Qingyun should be the hardest to deal with here. Maybe he still has a contract with TVB, because he was a student of the TVB artist class in 1983. Lan Jieying, has been
TVB gave up and left TVB after the contract expired last year. Zhou Huimin is a singer, so she should not have signed an artist contract with TVB. Liu Songren is a veteran artist, and he will not sell his body to the contract. Zheng Shaoqiu, it seems that the president is in contact, I will talk to her
Communicative.”
Lin Zuhui said calmly: "If Lan Jieying doesn't sign a contract, you can tell her to sign with ATV, and the film can also be introduced to DreamWorks."
"Okay, she is exactly the actress we urgently need, and TVB is really stingy!"
Lin Zuhui communicated with Li Zhaoxiong for a while before leaving the drama department.
Before leaving, Lin Zuhui could see that he personally took action to suppress Li Zhaoxiong. With the company's salary increase plan, this Li Zhaoxiong would never run away.
As for ATV's first big-budget drama series, of course it was "Big Time". Lin Zuhui has watched the series several times, so there was nothing difficult about it.
He didn't watch many Hong Kong dramas in his previous life, but he had watched "Big Era" and "Genesis" several times. It was filmed by ATV, so it shouldn't be a big problem. As for Liu Qingyun, the protagonist of "Big Era", it doesn't matter if he can't sign. TV series are not movies.
, TV series rely mostly on plot, and movies mostly rely on starring roles. Wei Jiahui, the screenwriter of "Big Time", is TVB's creative director, but ATV doesn't need him anymore!
Next, Lin Zuhui also plans to film "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of White Snake". With these four dramas alone, ATV can make a lot of money. Especially "Bao Qingtian", "The Legend of White Snake", overseas and mainland copyrights
It can be sold like crazy.
.......
April 9, Saturday.
In the morning, Lin Zuhui came to the office of Wanhui Media, followed by Long Jingchang and Zhao Han.
Zhao Hanhui reported: "Boss, I have found out that Huang Yulang only holds 35.5% of the shares of Yulang Group! He also holds about 30% of the warrants, and the remaining warrants are distributed among some small shareholders."
When Lin Zuhui heard this, he couldn't help but sneered, this Huang Yulang was really looking for death.
There are only 30% of the warrants, and the remaining 70% is in the hands of others.
Huang Yulang himself does not have the funds to raise funds through rights issues. If Wanhui Media acquires the warrants from small shareholders, it can mobilize the board of directors to ask Yulang Group to raise funds through rights issues, thereby diluting the underlying shares in Huang Yulang's hands. Huang Yulang
It is bound to be irreconcilable - repurchasing the underlying shares or raising funds through rights issues.
"From now on, the company will secretly purchase individual shares of Yulang Group, but you must remember not to alert the enemy in the first place. It is not expected that I will launch a formal acquisition until June. Therefore, you have enough time to secretly purchase, so you must spread it out."
"Don't worry, boss, we will be careful!"
This kind of secret purchase usually involves raising one's shareholding to about 15% before officially announcing the acquisition.
There is basically no saying in Xiangjiang or abroad that an announcement will be made if the company holds 5% of the shares. After all, this kind of "hostile acquisition" will be familiar to the boss of lvmh Group. Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang both used this method back then.
Let Zhao Han leave first, leaving Long Jingchang behind.
Lin Zuhui said: "Help me do a secret thing!"
Long Jingchang straightened his waist and said, "Boss, tell me!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Qiu Degen, the head of Far East Bank, is suspected of falsifying accounts. Find a trustworthy reporter to check. After you find out the clues, sell the news to the Economic Daily. Do not publish it in our Economic Daily.
superior."
Long Jingchang was shocked. This boss was eyeing the remaining ATV stocks in Qiu Degen's hands. This method was indeed ruthless!
"No problem, I will definitely handle it for you!"
Lin Zuhui smiled and nodded, not at all ashamed of his "insidiousness". Law-abiding is what every citizen should do, and everyone's supervision is what a harmonious society should do. He just did something responsible for the society.
Things, why should you be ashamed?
After all, Lin Zuhui has always been very law-abiding. At most, he once took advantage of legal loopholes (when doing shell business), but it was by no means a violation of the law, because he read Xiangjiang's securities regulations several times before doing so.
Qiu Degen still owns 30% of ATV's equity. Lin Zuhui is naturally not happy that he shares his achievements. Zheng Yutong is still his ally after all.
Besides, Lin Zuhui also knew that Qiu Degen had Alzheimer's disease and did not need to go to jail, so he released this news.
Naturally, Lin Zuyao will not take all the remaining shares in Qiu Degen's hands. He plans to equalize his and Zheng Yutong's shares, that is, both 47.5%, and the remaining 5% will be with D God.
After Lin Zuhui developed ATV, New World happened to have a debt crisis in the hands of Zheng Jiachun, so he bought back 20% of Zheng Yutong's shares. In this way, Lin Zuhui became the absolute majority shareholder.
