Shu-Yi Chow told Lam Cho-fai the 'astonishing' news that TVB was preparing a pirated program of "Millionaire".
This is ATV’s big cake. The UK, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand haven’t started buying copyrights yet, so how can piracy happen?
Therefore, Lin Zuhui said: "Go and tell TVB first that if there is a copycat program of "Millionaire", we will hire a barrister from the UK to claim more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. After that, you will spread the news in major media
, let everyone put pressure on it. In short, we must not let them broadcast it!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded quickly and said, "I'll do it right away!"
The copyright of this program is very easy to identify. It is definitely not a program like "Comedian Saves the Planet" that can be copied. Therefore, even if Wireless releases it this time, Lin Zuhui will use the media to put pressure on them and make them notorious.
In the past two years, ATV's variety shows have directly overwhelmed TVB, such as "Prize Doorman", "Undefended Tonight", "Millionaire", "The Voice of Hong Kong", "Comedian Saves the Planet" and other exciting programs.
Beauty pageants are better than TVB because there was no Li Jiaxin in 1988.
It's understandable that TVB is anxious, but "Millionaire" is a money-making tool, so Lin Zuhui naturally wants to have a good talk with Shao Liushu.
...
Wireless TV station.
The old Uncle Shao Liu was still working on the front line, and Fang Yihua walked into his office.
"Chairman, Shuyi Zhou from ATV came to see me just now!" Fang Yihua said.
Uncle Shao raised his head and said calmly: "Is it about the "Millionaire" program?"
Fang Yihua said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Uncle Shao picked up the newspaper, handed it to Fang Yihua, and said: "The news about our planning of the program "Who is the Rich Man" has leaked out, and now it has even been exposed in the media!"
Fang Yihua looked at it and said resolutely: "No matter what, we are just learning from it anyway!"
Uncle Shao shook his head and said: "If things get serious, the program may not have good ratings, and more importantly, TVB will be scolded! The media have reported that "Millionaire" is a business card exported by Xiangjiang Culture, and the tone is so high.
We’re afraid we can’t sing the opposite tune!”
Before deciding to copy "Millionaire", ATV had not sold the U.S. rights, so the copycat was a copycat. Now ATV has not only sold the U.S. rights, but also said that many countries and regions are negotiating. In this way, it will really take action.
It would be strange if he didn’t try his best to get Lin Zuhui’s cake.
Although Shao Liushu was a veteran of the world, he was also afraid of Lin Zuhui, a young man with a dull head. After all, he was a figure who could compete with Li Chaoren.
Fang Yihua said with some reluctance: "We just watched ATV 50-50 with us. It's really frustrating. Those managements don't know what they do for a living. They can't do as good as others in the program, and they still want to get high wages!"
Uncle Shao looked at his confidante and said seriously: "Lin Zuhui accounts for more than 50% of the credit for ATV being what it is today. It's useless for you to blame TVB people. You might as well reflect on yourself and strive to lead everyone to make better products."
program. From the current point of view, our wireless ratings have a slight advantage, but we still account for 60 to 70% of the TV station’s advertising fees. ATV cannot always have good shows. I believe that a person’s talent is limited." Uncle Liu said insightfully.
Analyze.
Fang Yihua understood immediately and agreed, "That's right, I'll make arrangements right away!"
After Fang Yihua left, Uncle Shao couldn't help but whispered: "Is there really a limit to talent? This Lin Zuhui seems to have divine help in everything he does. He is simply an all-rounder. In more than five years, he has become the top millionaire in Hong Kong. How can he
It’s so easy to run out of talent!”
He couldn't help but worry, but he couldn't show it. As the mastermind of a listed company, he had to be as stable as a rock.
.......
Wednesday, December 6th.
On behalf of Wanhui Media, Lin Zuhui signed an equity transfer agreement with Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxin, two shareholders of Mingpao Group: Wanhui Media purchased 70% of the equity of Mingpao Group for a cash consideration of 500 million; after the transaction was completed, Jin Daxia held 25
%, Shen Baoxin holds 5% of Mingpao Group shares.
After signing the agreement, Jin Yong said with a smile: "I can use this money to support my retirement!"
Different from his previous life, Lin Zuhui paid a large amount of cash and did not fool the old man with some number games. Because he was not short of money and there was no need to owe anyone favors.
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "You two can't put down your burden right away, I'm not ready yet!"
Shen Baoxing said curiously: "Wanhui Media is full of talents, and you are the leader in this industry. Are you still afraid of taking over a Mingpao Group?"
In this transaction, Shen Baoxing received more than 100 million in cash. He is not as rich as Jin Daxia, so he is very happy to get this cash this time. Of course, although Jin Daxia is also rich, his family is very supportive of him
Sell "Ming Pao" to Lin Zuhui, because that is more than 300 million in cash.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Ming Pao Group still has to maintain a certain degree of independent management, so I am very optimistic about the current team. In order not to be taken advantage of, I also plan to give Ming Pao Group a 20% salary increase!"
Daxia Jin immediately praised: "You are a good boss!"
Lin Zuhui actually knew a "traitor" from Mingbao, that is Lei Weipo. If nothing else happened, someone might already be plotting against him, such as the Ma family.
Therefore, after several people came to the office, Lin Zuhui asked Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxing: "What is Lei Weipo's contribution to the company, for example, how much revenue can he create in a year, and what is his salary?"
Shen Baoxing reacted immediately and said, "Are you worried that someone will poach him?"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Since the release of Zheng Jinghan's "1 Weekly" in July, the sales have been rising steadily. People who are eyeing that piece of cake include Mr. Fei Li of Zuo Danu and the Ma family of Oriental Newspaper. They
If Ming Pao Group takes advantage of the transition period to poach Lei Weipo from Ming Pao Weekly, Ming Pao Group will lose a general."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Daxia Jin immediately said majestically: "I will warn him for you, a 20% salary increase is enough!"
Come to think of it, Lei Weipo has always lived under the authority of Jin Daxia, Lin Zuhui guessed.
It's a pity that Lin Zuhui prefers to use interests to tie people up, and "Ming Pao Weekly" must continue to run, it is still a gentle gossip weekly.
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said: "Let's tie it up with benefits. I plan to change the contract with him and guarantee a minimum salary plus a share!"
Naturally, Jin Daxia would not stop him, and Shen Baoxing said: "Ming Pao Weekly spends hundreds of millions on advertising a year and makes a net profit of about 25 million. There are more than 30 people in Lei Weipo's team, and it is not all his fault. But if he
If you leave, you will definitely take a lot of people with you."
Lin Zuhui said: "Well, I will ask Long Jingchang to renegotiate the contract with him later!"
Jin Daxia and Shen Baoxing will continue to work at Mingpao, and the specific retirement time will be about one or two years.
Lin Zuhui will list Ming Pao Group in June or July this year, attracting a large amount of capital. Ming Pao Group does not need to invest much, and it will be used for dividends in the coming year. Wanhui Media will strive to earn back the money acquired from Ming Pao Group in five years.
It’s not that he cares about money. The biggest purpose of these media and communication industries is not to make money, but to enhance Lin Zuhui’s social status and power.
In his previous life, Zhang Ziqiang dared to kidnap Li Zeju and Guo Bingxiang, but in this life, Zhang Ziqiang would never dare to touch Lin Zuhui's family.
The reason is actually very simple. The reason why Zhang Ziqiang was so unscrupulous was because at that time, the citizens, the media, and the judges were all disgusted with the wealthy people. So when Zhang Ziqiang was imprisoned, a group of reporters followed his wife to boo and put pressure on the police station.
The judge's partiality shows that Zhang Ziqiang is lawless in Hong Kong.
But this life, Lin Zuhui is different. Let’s not talk about how he will reshape his image in the 1990s. Even his influence in the media has to be weighed by the kidnappers. What’s more, everyone in Hong Kong knows that Lin Zuhui has a security guard.
There is cooperation with companies and mercenaries.
........
Wanhui Media's RMB 500 million acquisition of 70% of Ming Pao Group's equity has caused a lot of discussion in Hong Kong.
The current sales volume of "Tian Tian Daily" has reached 400,000, ranking the first selling newspaper in Hong Kong;
"Ming Pao" has a sales volume of 120,000 and is the most influential Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong;
"Economic Daily" has a sales volume of 80,000, making it the second largest financial professional newspaper in Hong Kong and full of influence;
"FHM", "Good", "Ming Pao Weekly", etc. are all magazine overlords in the same field;
Even the newly emerging Baile Group (1 Weekly) has the shadow of Wanhui Media behind it.
Although Wanhui Media is a listed public company, this company was founded by Lin Zuhui, and its influence goes without saying. Therefore, the citizens of Xiangjiang compare Lin Zuhui to the Mu Duo of Xiangjiang!
...
Sing Tao Newspaper.
When Hu Xian saw the news about Lin Zuhui's fame, she felt very bitter because she was in big trouble. In the late 1980s, Hu Xian participated in various projects in Hong Kong, the United States, Australia, Canada and other places in her own name and in the name of Sing Tao Group.
Nearly 20 property investments.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. In the late 1980s, overseas properties took a sharp turn and property prices continued to decline. Not only was Hu Xian unable to make a profit from the sale, he was burdened with heavy interest debt on the loans.
Nowadays, there are rumors that her debt is as high as one billion, which is true!
Hu Xian is now worried that Lin Zuhui will not follow common sense and cause a turmoil in the newspaper industry, causing the sales of "Sing Tao Daily" to decline. By then, she is afraid that she will not even be able to repay the interest.
"It's also about property speculation. Why is it that Lin Zuhui made a lot of money while I was so unlucky?"
"And that Zheng Jinghan is a traitor!"
For a moment, Hu Xian began to blame everyone.
.....
Baile Group.
Zheng Jinghan has been very proud of himself in the past six months. The sales volume of "1 Weekly" has increased from 50,000 to 80,000, making it a very best-selling magazine. The monthly advertising fee is 6 million yuan, and the net profit is 2 million yuan.
"Boss, President Long is here!" the secretary walked into the office and said.
Zheng Jinghan quickly stood up to greet him, but he knew that Baile Group could be where it is today thanks to Wanhui Media's leakage of money and reputation.
"Boss Zheng, congratulations, "1 Weekly" has achieved another great success!"
"President Long, we are all happy that your group is acquiring Ming Pao!"
After being polite, Long Jingchang got down to business: "Apple Weekly, which will be published in the next year, will also be launched. Has Boss Zheng thought of any countermeasures?"
Zheng Jinghan said: "Our "1 Weekly" has already occupied the market. As long as we maintain stable operations, "Apple Weekly" is not a concern. What's more, I think the market is saturated, and it may not be feasible for "Apple Weekly" to squeeze in."
Long Jingchang immediately despised Zheng Jinghan in his heart. No wonder he was the boss's first loser.
"Boss Zheng, how can you say that? Mr. Fei Li has more financial resources than you. He is now advertising heavily, and "1 Weekly" will definitely be affected next year!"
"This...how does President Long think we should deal with it?"
Long Jingchang immediately said: "It's very simple! Advertising and price reduction in disguise, at least give them a blow when Apple Weekly is founded!"
Zheng Jinghan nodded quickly and said, "President Long is right, let's discuss the details!"
When Lin Zuhui attacked Fei Li, he didn't need to be ostentatious. Even with his words, he could give Fei Li a heavy blow. At this time, Zuo Danu was worth 800 million, which has devalued again, only half of his previous life; and now Fei Li wants to be in the media
, is bound to be suppressed by all parties; as long as he cannot buy advertisements from ATV and Wanhui Media.
