Chapter 1333: To Hong Kong

When I arrived in Hong Kong, I went to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Six. To be honest, if it wasn't for the New Year's greetings, even though it was a multi-billion dollar deal, it could be postponed.

After all, there are not many people in the world who would do such a deal. It's not that Yang Dongxu is the richest man in the world, but there are many people who are interested in Hedong Garden, but basically none of them are as rich as him.

And those who are richer than him are not as sincere as he is about Hedong Garden. Even if the economic analysts of those big chaebols are optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong.

But multi-billion dollar deals are not settled just like that, and even if they are optimistic about the future economy of Hong Kong. But when will the Hong Kong economy recover, and when will the real estate industry, which has just started to pick up a little, become popular again.

Even if it becomes popular again, will there be anyone to take over Hedong Garden, which has been listed as a historical building by the Hong Kong government? Will the Hong Kong government agree to the deal again? These are all problems.

No matter how rich a person is, he can't take a gamble with billions of dollars. After all, the world's economy is thriving now, and investing money in a field that you are familiar with can still make a lot of money. There is no need to take this risk.

"If you have nothing to do, go around more. China is much better now than before. You can go to the mainland to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland while you are still healthy." Yang Dongxu said, looking at the vigorous uncle.

"Forget it, we are all old men, so we won't go back to cause trouble to the motherland." Uncle Six waved his hand.

If he were an ordinary old man, it would be fine to travel around. But Uncle Six is ​​obviously not an ordinary old man. If he went to the mainland, even if he really just wanted to travel, he would make a lot of noise.

Besides, an old man like him, even if he is still healthy, must be accompanied by servants and private doctors. So the original travel alone, or with Aunt Six, ended up with a large group of people, which is more lively than other people's group tours. It is better to stay at home for peace and quiet.

"Have you and Aunt Six seen the accounts of TVB this year?" Seeing that Uncle Six did not have the idea of ​​going out for a walk, Yang Dongxu changed the subject.

"Your Aunt Six has seen it." Speaking of this, Uncle Six felt a little lonely.

It's not that he regretted selling Wireless to Yang Dongxu, but that the industry he had worked hard for all his life had won the recognition of almost everyone in the world, and everyone would praise him as a successful entrepreneur.

As a result, his children didn't care about this industry at all. If they still cared a little, they would definitely care about how much money they could get from selling Wireless.

Although he knew how each person lived, and his children also had their own ideals and lives. But he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, after all, it was his life's hard work.

Although he has found a suitable successor now, it may even make Wireless more glorious. But people's selfishness will not disappear, but some people can face it with an open mind, while some people are a little bit fussy.

Uncle Six is ​​the kind of person who can be open-minded to hand over Wireless to Yang Dongxu, but when he thinks that none of his children are willing to come back to help him, he can't hide the mixed feelings in his heart.

"What do you think of Wireless's reform plan this year?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Since you have made a decision, follow your idea. Now you are the boss of TVB. We old people should just stay at home and enjoy our old age. Don't put the cart before the horse." Uncle Liu said.

The development of an enterprise is inseparable from the hard work of the old people. If an enterprise wants to get out of the ruin, then these old people are the first to be cleared.

It's not that these old people are not loyal to the enterprise, but they are fond of all the old objects and development in the enterprise. It is the biggest obstacle to new planning and new changes.

It's not that what they insist on is wrong, but it's because these things they insist on are right that they have to be cleared. Because the right things may not be suitable for this era.

For example, the glory of TVB in the past was inseparable from the main force of classic TV series and epoch-making variety shows. Now these are still the cornerstones of TVB's ratings.

But you can't deny that these cornerstones are still supporting TVB's ratings. But they are no longer suitable for this era. Introducing high-quality TV series and movies from the mainland, even Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, as well as other variety shows that are currently very popular in the market.

Only in this way can we inject new impetus into TVB, which is like the current Hong Kong entertainment industry. Now it seems to be glorious and still full of stars, but after ten or twenty years, there is still no new generation who can stand up and take over the banner, while the mainland is flourishing.

After a few years, anyone who is not blind will find that the old people are still popular in Hong Kong, and few new people can be named. In contrast, in the mainland, young actresses and actors are emerging one after another.

Let’s not talk about the quality of these young actresses and actors, nor how traffic stars are criticized. At least compared to the deadness in Hong Kong, the mainland entertainment industry is full of vitality.

In fact, Yang Dongxu didn’t think about clearing out the old people of TVB at the beginning. He started to clean up the old people as soon as he took over TVB. It obviously gave people a feeling that he couldn’t wait to turn it into his own kingdom as soon as he took over TVB and tried to clean up the mark of Uncle Six’s existence.

But when he met with Haina and TVB executives to study the reform plan of TVB, many TVB executives opposed it on the spot, believing that some old programs should not be cut. Because these programs are not only emotional for them, but also the memories of many Hong Kong people.

But these programs that are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to recall are obviously not suitable for young people to recall now. If we don’t reform now, when the world becomes more exciting in a few years, the attention of these young people will be divided up by other things. By then, it will be too late to fight for it.

But the fact is that TVB's senior executives have feelings for these programs and don't want to give them up, and the veteran employees of TVB also have feelings for these programs and don't want to let them go.

In the end, Yang Dongxu had no choice but to raise the butcher knife of layoffs, but even though he was laid off, he did not treat these people badly. The dividends that should be paid are a lot, and the compensation that should be paid is doubled. It is really shameful to have to support myself in an idle job, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing.

But even so, there are always some rumors coming out. In addition, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, or the bosses and CEOs of entertainment companies in Hong Kong, have never had a good impression of Yang Dongxu, and they stand behind him and add fuel to the flames.

For a time, this normal operation, which was originally unable to form a consensus on the company's reform, seemed to be a conspiracy theory. It made the front pages of newspapers and TV stations in Hong Kong for several days.

"Just do your thing with peace of mind. If your sixth aunt can't handle this matter well, I will come forward." Uncle Six said.

"Thank you Uncle Six for your support." Yang Dongxu thanked him. This thank you was sincere.

Old people like nostalgia, so for those TV projects that were axed. Not only was the old man in Wireless reluctant to give up, Uncle Six was also extremely reluctant to give up. Because many of these projects were personally executed by him at that time, and were the magic weapons that helped Wireless establish its position as the leader in Hong Kong.

It's just a pity that time makes people grow old. Now in these shows, the heroes are getting old and the beauties are getting old. In order for Wireless to continue its glory, new heroes and beauties need to appear.

"If you have any requirements regarding work, just put them forward and I will support them. You don't need to talk to me, an old man, about the specific work. I don't have that much energy to check your advisers. Just tell me the final result.

Let’s talk about things over there in Hedong Garden. "Uncle Liu waved his hand, indicating that he was not an old fool, and Yang Dongxu did not need to explain or ask for advice on wireless development in detail.

Although he felt a little sad that his children did not take over his property, now that he had made a decision, Uncle Liu was not an indecisive person. If Wireless is handed over to Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu will have the final say. Neither he nor Aunt Six will continue to interfere with the specific work of Wireless.

“I asked the Xiangjiang government, and as long as the Hedong Garden is not demolished, the government will not have any obstacles to this transaction.

And the government also promised me that the main structure of Hedong Garden would not be moved. Certain renovations and transformations can be carried out on Hedong Garden.

I also plan to donate some meaningful things in the Hedong Garden to the Hong Kong Museum after buying it. The Xiangjiang government was very happy and gave me some preferential tax policies.

So the problem now is the transaction with the He family. 3.7 billion is absolutely impossible. This price is not generally high compared to current housing prices in Xiangjiang. They are all chasing the prices during the real estate bubble in Xiangjiang. "

"How many years have passed since the Xiangjiang real estate bubble? What were the prices at that time and what are the prices now? You won't bully my old man for not understanding currency depreciation, right?" Uncle Liu glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.

Yang Dongxu was thick-skinned and didn't care: "You are always right, but the other person is a bit too greedy to ask for so much. Did you agree to sell it at a low price?"

Although what Yang Dongxu said at this time was a bit playful and ironic, Uncle Six didn't pay much attention to it. Because the price offered by the other party was indeed a bit high. If the He family had offered such a price at that time, he might not have even bothered to ask Yang Dongxu. Did he really treat him as a fool?

Of course, this is only the price offered by the other party, and the final transaction price must be set after some negotiation between the two parties. But with the price set so high right from the start, the He family's expectations for the final transaction price of Hedong Garden must be high, so this negotiation is expected to take a long time.

There is no doubt that Yang Dongxu and Liu Shu are not people who like to gossip, and Yang Dongxu does not have that patience. Or he was in no mood to beat around the bush with people on things that could be solved straightforwardly.

At Uncle Liu's age, it would be nice to raise fish and tease birds when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't want to waste too much energy on such tedious things.

"Let me help you find out what the final price is in your mind. In the end, you can negotiate the dispute yourself. The old man doesn't have that much energy to accompany you in the tug-of-war." Uncle Liu said.

"2.5 billion." Yang Dongxu directly gave a number without any nonsense.

Uncle Six glanced at him and nodded. This was indeed a tug of war. It is obviously difficult for the He family to lower the price below 3 billion, and it is probably impossible for Yang Dongxu to bid more than 3 billion for Yang Dongxu.

So this negotiation has probably been discussed, but this has nothing to do with Uncle Six. He just holds the strings, and he doesn't intend to interfere with whether the negotiation will be successful or not.

It was just because the old man liked nostalgia and didn't want to see Hedong Garden being demolished that he took the initiative to stop this living thing. But it was just nostalgia and he had no intention of sitting at the negotiation table.
