Chapter 860: No Rabbit, No Eagle, April (Two in One)

That night.

Lin Baicheng came to a famous Chinese restaurant in Tokyo. He was here to keep an appointment.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Mr. Murakami!"

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Murakami Motoo who stood up. The two exchanged a few polite words and then sat down.

Murakami Motoo, the director of TV Asahi, was the one who competed with Miki Yota for the control of TV Asahi.

When Lin Baicheng was about to leave Tokyo, Murakami Motoo asked him to meet him. Considering that the other party was also a director of TV Asahi, and in order to leave a way for himself, he agreed to meet with Murakami Motoo.

Although Lin Baicheng and Miki Yota are now cooperating happily, no one can guarantee whether the two will have a falling out in the future. If the two fall out, as long as Lin Baicheng and Murakami Motoo are not hostile and keep in touch, he can still unite with Murakami Motoo to maintain his influence in TV Asahi.

There were only Lin Baicheng and Murakami Motoo in the private room, and they ate and talked.

As they chatted, under the guidance of Murakami Motoo, the two talked about TV Asahi.

Murakami Motoo said: "The TV station has reached a cooperation with Mr. Lin's Asia TV. This is a good thing for both TV stations. I believe it will be good for the development of both TV stations."

"Mr. Murakami said, mutual benefit."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded. He knew that Murakami Motoo was about to talk about the purpose of asking him to meet tonight.

Murakami Motoo said: "Mr. Lin, I think our TV Asahi can completely introduce TV series broadcasted by Asia TV. There are many Chinese people in our country, and the TV series broadcasted by Asia TV are all good. After translation, I believe the ratings will not be low."

"This is a good thing for Asia TV. If TV Asahi is interested in cooperation, Asia TV will definitely not refuse."

Lin Baicheng said immediately after hearing this. Being able to transport TV series broadcasted by Asia TV to Japan, not to mention making a lot of money, the cultural output alone is worth Lin Baicheng's money to do so.

However, given the historical relationship between Japan and China, it is not an easy task to do this. Lin Baicheng plans to take it slowly, first through cartoons to enhance the cooperation between the two TV stations, and then slowly evolve into the output of TV series. Now that Murakami Motoo has taken the initiative to bring up this matter, he certainly has no reason to refuse.

Murakami Motoo said: "Mr. Lin, this is not a trivial matter. It is likely to be brought to the board of directors, and your support will be needed at that time."

"Here it comes!"

Lin Baicheng thought to himself, knowing that Murakami Motoo was throwing out bait to get his support.

"Mr. Murakami, even if I support you, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. Although the bait was tempting, he was still happy to cooperate with Miki Yota now, and he didn't want to affect the relationship between the two. More importantly, he couldn't be sure that the two combined would pass the board of directors and defeat Miki Yota.

If he stood with Murakami Motoo at the board meeting this time, Lin Baicheng knew very well that there would be a crack in the cooperation between him and Miki Yota, and they might part ways and become enemies. However, he felt that he and Murakami Motoo might not be able to defeat Miki Yota if they joined forces. In this way, his influence in TV Asahi would be minimized, which is not a good thing.

In fact, with Lin Baicheng's strength, as long as he is willing to spend a lot of effort, it is entirely possible to unite with Murakami Motoo to defeat Miki Yota.

But the problem is that Lin Baicheng cannot control TV Asahi. If he unites with Murakami Motoo to defeat Miki Yota, the one who will get the most benefit will only be Murakami Motoo, and Lin Baicheng will get limited benefits. In the case of limited benefits, he has to pay a great price, and the gains and losses are disproportionate. Lin Baicheng would be stupid to do that.

Murakami Motoo narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin has always supported Chairman Miki in the board of directors. I think Chairman Miki will definitely support Mr. Lin this time to repay Mr. Lin's support for Chairman Miki."

It is not so important whether or not to get Lin Baicheng's support. What is important is that by doing so, it can provoke the relationship between Miki Yota and Lin Baicheng and dismantle the union of the two families.

"Supporting Chairman Miki is what I should do. After all, Chairman Miki has always taken good care of my business."

Lin Baicheng smiled and did not think that Miki Yota needed to give him a greater reward. He still had this self-knowledge.

"Mr. Murakami, thank you for your support. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to succeed in introducing TV series from Asia Television. Since you can't do it, Mr. Murakami, we can only wait until later."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. Let me think about this matter again."

Murakami Motoo knew that he needed to pay a certain price to let Lin Baicheng see the benefits.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Murakami. I'll toast you."

Lin Baicheng raised his glass to toast him. If Murakami Motoo could really do it, then the Asia Television would benefit. There's no reason not to take advantage of a free gift.

Similarly, if Murakami Motoo could do it, it would mean that he had a great influence in TV Asahi. Lin Baicheng didn't need to cooperate with him directly, nor did he need to become his enemy. It was necessary to keep in touch with him. Maybe he could use it someday.

Afterwards, Murakami Motoo said in his words that as long as Lin Baicheng could support him, he would definitely give Lin Baicheng a greater reward after he gained control of TV Asahi.

Faced with these promises like IOUs, Lin Baicheng smiled but didn't say anything. He changed the subject and talked about something else without joining in.

However, Lin Baicheng also hinted that if Murakami Motoo can do what he said, or let Lin Baicheng see his influence on TV Asahi, then he will no longer unconditionally support Miki Yota in the future. In matters related to Murakami Motoo When making some decisions, even if his board of directors representatives do not support Murakami Motoo, they will not completely fall to Miki Yota's side and can consider neutrality.

Lin Baicheng also said that he has no interest in controlling TV Asahi. It is impossible for him as an outsider to gain control of the TV station. He only wants to have a certain influence on the TV station, so he can cooperate with anyone. The main thing is who he works with. Cooperation is in his best interest.

For Murakami Motoo, this is barely good news. As long as Lin Baicheng and Miki Yota are not an unbreakable alliance, there is a possibility of a breakup between the two parties, and then he has the possibility of gaining control of Asahi TV.

Having said all that needed to be said, after dinner, Lin Baicheng declined Murakami Motoo's invitation to the after-dinner show and left directly.

Lin Baicheng didn't trust Murakami Motoo now. He didn't know if there was any problem with the after-dinner program arranged by him or if something would happen, so it was better to leave directly.

The meeting between Lin Baicheng and Murakami Motoo is not a very secretive matter. For those who are interested, it is not difficult to know.

And Miki Yota is this caring person.

Miki Yota was not staring at Lin Baicheng, but Murakami Motoo, his opponent. Lin Baicheng's meeting with Murakami Motoo was certainly not a good thing for him.

Although he didn't know what the specific conversation between Murakami Motoo and Lin Baicheng was about, Miki Yaota knew without thinking that it was related to TV Asahi. He also knew that Murakami Motoo wanted to get Lin Baicheng's support and get Lin Baicheng to support him on the board of directors.

Miki Yaota and Lin Baicheng only have a cooperative relationship. Although the current cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant, Miki Yaota is not sure whether Lin Baicheng will support him as always. After all, the two parties only have a cooperative relationship. As long as the benefits are large enough, Lin Baicheng is entirely possible to switch. Go support Motoo Murakami.

Of course, even if Lin Baicheng supports Murakami Motoo, Miki Yota can still control the board of directors of TV Asahi. However, Murakami Motoo, who is supported by Lin Baicheng, will pose a greater threat to him. Once he gets the support of some more people, he may seize the opportunity. He had control of TV Asahi, so he couldn't let this happen, and he couldn't let Murakami Motoo pose too much of a threat to him.

In this way, it is natural to test Lin Baicheng's attitude and stance.

On the pretext of trading a movie theater, Miki Yaota made an appointment with Lin Baicheng to meet.

Regarding Miki Yota's appointment, Lin Baicheng had some guesses, and it should be related to his meeting with Murakami Motoo. He had just met Murakami Motoo two days ago, and it had only been two days since Miki Yota asked him to meet. He said that the two were not related, but he didn't believe anything he said.

After meeting.

Miki Yaota's test confirmed Lin Baicheng's guess. Faced with Miki Yaota's test, Lin Baicheng did not give an ambiguous laugh, but stated that he would continue to support Miki Yaota.

Before Murakami Motoo did not give Lin Baicheng too much benefit, Lin Baicheng would never affect his cooperation with Miki Yaota. Cooperation with Miki Yaota was beneficial to him. He could not because of possible benefits that he could not see yet. It affects current interests.

To describe it in one sentence, Lin Baicheng is a master who does not let go of eagles when he sees rabbits.

Lin Baicheng's statement reassured Miki Yaota.

However, Miki Yaota is not completely assured of Lin Baicheng. Unfortunately, Lin Baicheng's business is in Xiangjiang, and the scale of the business is greater than that of the entire Miki family. He has no way to pose a threat to Lin Baicheng. He can only get Lin Baicheng to support him through cooperation, so he must If he wanted to reduce Lin Baicheng's influence, he could only do so by gaining more support from other directors.

But this matter is not that easy to do. After all, there is Motoo Murakami who is eyeing him, and it is impossible for those directors to support him for nothing. To gain the support of those people, he also needs to pay benefits.

Lin Baicheng doesn't care what Miki Yota thinks. Anyway, he currently chooses to cooperate with Miki Yota, but if cooperation with Murakami Motoo can bring him more benefits, he won't mind turning around and cooperating with Murakami Motoo. Shopping malls are like battlefields and don't pay attention to any feelings. What's more, Lin Baicheng and Miki Yaota have no feelings to talk about, and there is no personal relationship between them.

Lin Baicheng didn't stay long in Tokyo, and returned to Xiangjiang a few days later.

Various enterprises are running in an orderly manner, and Lin Baicheng does not need to invest too much energy. He devotes more time and energy to Changsheng Medical Biological Company and the research and development of biomedicine.

As we entered April, something happened.

That is when Li Pengfei began to form a group of young talents to visit Peking, the mainland. Some so-called young talents became members of the visiting group and were interviewed by the media one by one. All walks of life expressed concern about this.

Lin Baicheng was also paying attention to this matter. In addition to wanting to know who was following them to visit the mainland, he also wanted to know the results of their visit.

Not long ago, Lin Baicheng's "one country, two systems" and Li Pengfei's "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" have made a big fuss. The two people's opposing positions are also obvious. Therefore, those who join Li Pengfei's team are at odds with Lin Baicheng and are Lin Baicheng's enemies.

Lin Baicheng must know who these people are. If he doesn't take revenge one by one, he will definitely not cooperate with these people and the companies related to these people in the future. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely not mind teaching them a lesson. Who made them stand on the wrong team.

The influence of the team formed by Li Pengfei is still not small, at least on the surface. Through media exposure, it has gained the support of a large number of people and wants to use this to put pressure on the mainland officials.

Lin Baicheng originally wanted to take a look, but after Wang Yiping, president of Xinhua News Agency, contacted him, he changed his approach.

Lin Baicheng also stood up to accept media interviews, saying that he would also form a team to visit the mainland and communicate with the mainland's senior officials on the return of Hong Kong, so as to seek benefits for the majority of Hong Kong people.

As the richest man in Hong Kong and the first talent in the world, Lin Baicheng's statement has a greater influence, and a lot of attention on Li Pengfei was immediately attracted, and the influence caused was greatly reduced.

At the same time, with the addition of Lin Baicheng's team, Li Pengfei's team can no longer represent the entire Hong Kong, and its influence is reduced again.

Faced with this situation, Li Pengfei has no choice but to increase publicity efforts to attract more attention from Hong Kong people.

However, in terms of publicity, he and Lin Baicheng can't compare at all. Asia Star Media Group was not established in vain. As the largest media group in Hong Kong, Asia Star Media Group has the strongest publicity ability.

Unless Li Pengfei can get the support of TVB, Sing Tao Newspapers, and Oriental Newspapers, although these companies compete with Asia Star Media Group in business, except for Oriental Newspapers, TVB and Sing Tao Newspapers are not stupid. Not to mention that their own position is not close to British capital, they will not fully support Li Pengfei and stand on the opposite side of the mainland from the perspective of businessmen.

Therefore, as the publicity of Asia Star Media Group spreads, the result is that more people pay attention to Lin Baicheng's upcoming visit to the mainland, rather than Li Pengfei.

Seeing this, Li Pengfei was very decisive and announced the trip to the mainland in a few days. Obviously, he didn't want to delay it any longer. He knew that the longer the time was delayed, the less influence their visit would have.

Lin Baicheng did not follow the visit to the mainland. He would visit the mainland again after Li Pengfei's people returned to Hong Kong, so as to compare with Li Pengfei's visit.
