Starting from Wednesday, funds began to be withdrawn from Japan in a steady stream, which made Lin Zuhui a lot more courageous.
In fact, he is now deeply in debt and living a tight life.
For the 2.5 billion capital used to acquire 25% of Modern Container's shares, he has only paid the subscription fee; for the 600 million capital used to acquire 20% of ATV, he is still waiting for the funds to sign a contract.
Of the original 8 billion funds, 3 billion were invested in blue chip stocks and futures indexes, 1 billion was invested in the 'Wan Guo Baotong Center', and 800 million was invested in a 20% interest in the Convention and Exhibition Plaza Building... The rest were almost all invested in real estate.
First, he did not choose a loan and planned to make a decision based on the situation in the future.
Although his money is getting less and less, he holds more and more high-quality properties, including prosperous shops, office buildings, high-end mansions, garden villas, etc. Therefore, Lin Zuhui is very happy every day.
...
Thursday, September 28th.
In the conference room of the ATV Building, Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong signed the equity transfer agreement under the witness of their lawyers.
As for the 600 million in cash, it can be paid off in three months.
After the agreement was signed, the two held an ATV management meeting.
Zheng Yutong said to a group of executives: "Just now, I sold 20% of my shares to Director Lin for 600 million, and I happily accepted it. I was thinking that if I can make this money, every one of you must have
contribution, so I would like to express my gratitude.”
Upon hearing this, all the senior executives knew that the real boss was coming to power, but they were unable to express their stance.
In fact, the entire ATV management, staff, and artists all understand the fact that it is Lin Zuhui who really controls ATV, just like Shao Liushu controlled TVB as the general manager. Both of them relied on their strength to establish a network.
kind of authority, and ATV’s Lin Zuhui is obviously more powerful than Shao Liushu.
Wireless started out with a big hit - free, color, but it took 10 years for Lydia (the predecessor of ATV) to realize that the market had already been occupied by Wireless.
However, what ATV faced at the beginning was not a monopoly, but a ruler, and its difficulties were far greater than those of Wireless.
No one expected that ATV would continue to have great shows in the past few years, and every program would be top-notch.
Zheng Yutong continued: "So, next I want to announce the news: Mr. Lin Zuhui will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of ATV. Everyone welcomes him with applause!"
Instantly, more than 20 senior executives in the conference room applauded enthusiastically!
Lin Zuhui nodded, and after the applause stopped, he said slowly: "Chairman Zheng Yutong has made a great contribution to our ATV, stabilizing the morale of the military, negotiating with foreign countries, and formulating major policies, allowing us to spend almost two years safely.
development time. Therefore, he will remain as a director. We applaud him and thank him for his contribution!"
applause!
Zheng Yutong smiled and nodded.
Lin Zuhui continued: "I am a new official, so I will tell you my policy outline: ATV will not only compete with TVB in Hong Kong, but also set its sights on the world. Produce better programs and export them overseas.
It can not only obtain copyright fees, but also promote ATV, promote Hong Kong, and promote Chinese culture... I know, some of you think I am talking big words, so let me tell you - my subsidiary Wanhui Media is overseas
What achievements have been made: "FHM" magazine has been licensed in 5 countries. We published a comic about basketball in Japan, which can earn 50 million yuan in net profit every year, and the comics of the original company are all sold overseas.
It has been published in English and has achieved very good results. The overseas revenue of the entire Wanhui Media has accounted for 30% of the company... So, what I want to tell you is that the world is as big as your vision is!"
Everyone was stunned, and then there was thunderous applause.
President Zhou Liang Shuyi quickly expressed her position: "The chairman's words have made us burn with greater enthusiasm again. It just so happens that recently because we have a 50-50 split with TVB, some management and staff have become a little lax. Now, everyone should also know the prospects of ATV.
It should be better, so we have to work harder!”
She had no choice but to express her position. The new chairman was not Uncle Tong. Mr. Lin Zuhui was a strong, capable, and highly professional boss. If she thought she was capable and ignored the new chairman, she would have no choice but to leave.
Although she has become famous through ATV, rumors about her are still floating in the media world like a ghost; outsiders say that her performance is piled up with silver paper, and the advertising revenue is not enough to cover expenses. In the first year, she spent 10
billion, with a loss of more than 200 million. He also said that when He Zuozhi closed Jiayi TV in a hurry, he couldn't bear the squandering. Strong women are too strong. If things go on like this, shareholders will feel heartache no matter how wealthy they are.
Of course, with the real rise of ATV, these rumors have become smaller and smaller; especially in the second half of this year, ATV released news that it will make tens of millions of profits this year.
At this point, ATV has finally changed its impression among the public and has truly achieved a 40-60 or 50-50 ratio with Wireless. Stable profits are the next key.
A number of senior executives also expressed their support for Lin Zuhui's work.
Zheng Yutong felt a little sad when he saw this scene. He could see that these senior executives really admired Lin Zuhui. Fortunately, he had a good attitude and quickly admitted that he was just an amateur.
Lin Zuhui nodded in encouragement to everyone's statements.
Then, he said: "Okay, you continue to work hard! But now, I want to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATV - YG Entertainment Company. Yu Xiaoming, you will be the general manager of this company. Come to my office later.
Let’s talk about specific work.”
Lin Zuhui grabbed the head of a management team and put it on the shelves.
Yu Xiaoming said with some anxiety: "Okay, boss!" He was thinking about being demoted, because this YG Entertainment sounded so small.
The senior executives didn't know what the boss was up to, but since it was a separate company, it wouldn't affect the TV station, so they didn't care.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, Lin Zuhui asked Zhao Zhenqiang: "What day will "Genesis" be broadcast?"
He provided a total of two script outlines to ATV - "The Great Era" and "Genesis". Because he had watched these two movies many times in his previous life, he had some plot ideas in mind. For example, "Bao Qingtian", "Giant"
"Both these two series are just ideas.
Of course, he also encouraged ATV to produce more family fashion dramas that could capture the maidens. Because of this, and because ATV already had an advantage over TVB in costume dramas, it actually beat TVB in dramas in the past two years.
wireless.
Zhao Zhenqiang said: "It will be broadcast next Friday, October 6th!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Promote it well!"
"OK!"
The meeting ended quickly, and later ATV's agent would hold a press conference to announce the new chairman's appointment.
Yu Xiaoming came to Lin Zuhui's office naturally. He quickly figured out that he must have been entrusted with an important task; it must be unusual for the new boss to suddenly establish a subsidiary.
"Sit down," Lin Zuhui said to Yu Xiaoming.
"Okay, boss!"
Lin Zuhui found a pile of recently compiled information from his briefcase, then came to the sofa and handed it to Yu Xiaoming.
"This is a star-making plan of mine. Take a good look at it! After reading it, check out the information on this aspect. There are some notes on it. When you have a rough idea, come back to me and let's discuss it."
Seeing that his boss paid so much attention to it, Yu Xiaoming naturally felt that the information in his hands was heavy.
"No problem, I'll figure it out as soon as possible!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. Yu Xiaoming was a senior executive of the company, and what he valued was his ability to manage artists. His so-called 'star-making' plan was almost the entire plan for his understanding of the Korean Wave in his previous life, and it can be said that it is quite complete.
In recent years, Xiangjiang's artists have become very popular in South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Xiangjiang's movies have also had a great influence in these places. Lin Zuhui hopes that the "idol group" created by ATV can also earn some foreign exchange for ATV.
In fact, Taiwan’s Little Tigers last year have already made a name for themselves in Asia as soon as they debuted, setting a record of more than 20 sold-out concerts, which proves that the idol group is very worthy of investment.
It just so happens that ATV has always been at a disadvantage with TVB in terms of singing stars. I hope that this model can be used to turn things around in the future.
.......
Lin Zuhui's appointment as chairman of the board of directors of ATV caused a storm of public opinion in Hong Kong.
For a long time, news from ATV employees has confirmed that Lin Zuhui has been involved in ATV's work.
Moreover, ATV's continuous stream of good shows is definitely not like the style of people like Chow Leung Suk-yee and others, but rather like the style of Lin Zuhui at Wanhui Media.
Therefore, the market places the greatest credit on ATV's rise on Lin Zuhui, followed by Shuyi Zhou.
Wireless TV station.
Shao Liushu and Fang Yihua were also discussing countermeasures in the office. Both of them attached great importance to Lin Zuhui as the head of the family, and they preferred Zhou Liang Shuyi to be the chief executive.
In Shao Liushu's opinion, Zhou Liangshuyi's method of management worked for a while; as time went by, shareholders could not bear the long-term unprofitability and would naturally fire her. But as time went by, Shao Liushu realized that Lin Zuhui was directing and participating in the management of ATV behind the scenes.
, will have a huge impact on wireless.
First of all, Lin Zuhui started his career in the media, not real estate;
Secondly, the financial resources that Lin Zuhui has shown in the past year or two are enough for ATV to fight for a long time;
In the end, ATV had a lot of good shows and established a solid position in one fell swoop.
In particular, many programs are not only broadcast for a long time and have high ratings, but also lead to an increase in the ratings of some ATV programs. This is fatal.
"There is no program of the same type in the world like "Millionaire," otherwise we could introduce one to compete with ATV!" Fang Yihua sighed.
"Definitely not. ATV recently promoted that "Millionaire" will export overseas rights. Not only that, the production cost of an episode of "Millionaire" is HK$500,000, but it can earn 1.1 million in advertising fees. This has become ATV's most profitable
program. I saw that they were pretending to be millionaires, but they became millionaires themselves.”
The biggest headache for Uncle Shao Liu is "Millionaire". It has high ratings and advertisers like it. It has taken away several large wireless advertisers.
"How about we do a similar program where you answer questions and win prizes?" Fang Yihua said immediately.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Uncle Shao said immediately.
It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. Last year, ATV launched "Comedian Saves the Earth". Wireless TVB got wind of this and immediately launched "Comedian Mainstream". At this time, the two companies started a war of words in the newspapers.
However, what Uncle Liu didn't know was that "Millionaire" was the "lifeblood" of ATV and its copyright was registered in the UK and Hong Kong. If TVB dared to touch the cake, Lin Zuhui would ask a white-haired barrister from the UK to tell the veteran
