Chapter 308 A New Generation of Media Tycoons in Hong Kong Island Emerges!!!
Qiu Xuewen is 65 years old this year and has three sons and two daughters.
The fat boy in front of him is Qiu Wu, the eldest son and grandson of Qiu Xuewen.
The reason why he is so respectful to Lin Yao is because he understands Lin Yao's strength best.
Mr. Lin, please come inside. At this time, Qiu Wu quickly stepped forward to welcome Lin Yao and others inside.
A group of people were sitting in the elevator. Come to the VIP box on the top floor.
After walking through the door, look to the right and see an old man wearing an elderly suit. Sitting in the main seat gives people a sense of calmness and authority.
Lin Yao's face was calm, and Zhan Mi's expression behind him changed slightly.
This old man is Qiu Xuewen, the chairman of Far East Group, who also engaged in gray industry in his early years.
Later, after digging out the first pot of gold, he was washed away.
After seeing Lin Yao, Qiu Xuewen's expression remained unchanged and he tried his best to intimidate.
The contest between the two sides started from this moment.
Lin Yao sat down and took out a cigar.
Yun Piaopiao immediately lit Lin Yao with a lighter.
"The Qiu family is also a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island. Mr. Qiu, are you playing too big a role?"
After hearing what Lin Yao said, Qiu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Mr. Lin, please don't get me wrong. My grandfather has disease in both knee joints, so it is inconvenient for him to stand up. Please forgive me."
Lin Yao glanced at the fat boy in front of him, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Qiu Xuewen, who was sitting opposite him, almost broke his defense.
The power he had finally gained collapsed because of his grandson.
He originally wanted to give Lin Yao a blow so that he could take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
At this moment, the aura he pretended to have on his face was gone, and he felt a little depressed.
"Since Mr. Qiu has problems with both legs, forget it. I respect the elderly very much."
"So I would like to advise you that you should rest when you get older and leave some things to young people. Don't delay the future of young people!"
Lin Yao looked at his grandson Qiu Wu as he spoke.
Qiu Wu seemed to agree with these words and nodded subconsciously.
But Qiu Xuewen's face turned ugly. He knew what Lin Yao meant by his words.
This kid looks to be about the same age as his grandson, but he wants to alienate the Qiu family as soon as he sits down.
However, Qiu Xuewen is an old Jianghu after all. After adjusting his mentality slightly, he said with a smile:
"Mr. Lin, I have gotten to know you. You are indeed extraordinary and will be formidable."
"Mr. Qiu, if you're being polite, I won't say anything. Let's get down to business!" Looking at Qiu Xuewen opposite, Lin Yao said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, let's get down to business. I invested in Li's TV station a few years ago and changed its name to ATV."
"I thought it was a good deal, but I didn't expect the water was too deep."
"I'm already old and it's time to retire, so I'm looking for someone to take over the shares of ATV. Do you want to take over?"
After finishing speaking, he winked at his grandson.
Qiu Wu nodded, took out a document with a red seal from his briefcase, and handed it to Zhan Mi.
Zhan Mi took it and handed it to Lin Yao.
Mr. Lin, this is ATV’s share transfer letter. "
Lin Yao nodded slightly and then opened the file.
I saw a contract on the document.
Qiu Xuewen had already signed the transfer letter, which recorded all of Qiu Xuewen's shares.
After taking a casual look, Lin Yao calmly put the contract aside and asked:
"Mr. Qiu, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I don't know much about the media. I've wanted to let it go a long time ago."
"Okay, let me tell you straight, your asking price for the equity transfer is sky-high!"
Indeed, in the transfer contract, Qiu Xuewen raised the price to 30 yuan per share.
It’s less than ten yuan on the market.
Obviously, Qiu Xuewen wanted the lion to open his mouth.
"Mr. Lin, I know you were the one who attacked our Expedition Bank. Isn't your goal just for ATV?"
"I'll simply transfer it to you at a slightly higher price. Isn't this normal?"
"Mr. Qiu, you treat me as a villain, ATV is in a mess now."
"TVB's ratings have already crushed ATV. Let alone 30 yuan, ATV's shares are now less than 5 yuan."
"I advise you not to treat me as a fool, otherwise the consequences will be serious!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall was filled with solemn silence!
Lin Yao, who was as calm as water just now, instantly turned into a turbulent and supreme hero! !
Wow!
Strong men with crew cuts, suits and leather shoes, and sharp eyes suddenly appeared from everywhere!
And the Qiu family's bodyguards were caught in the box one by one, all with bruises and swollen faces, and some of them were twitching non-stop!
Looking at Lin Yao's eyes, everyone in the Qiu family seemed to see the endless mountain of corpses and sea of blood!
Qiu Wu couldn't help but lower his head, and his body started to tremble slightly.
Qiu Xuewen's face changed drastically!
His bodyguards were all mercenaries, and some of them were retired from signal flags.
But now...
Qiu Xuewen took a deep breath of air-conditioning. Only now did he face the reality of what kind of underground overlord he was facing!
Facing such a ruthless person, he was so unwilling to open his mouth. He was really an old fool.
"Mr. Lin, I have no intention of offending you, your shares in ATV. I am willing to transfer them to you at half the market price."
"Can you give me the Far Eastern Bank shares you hold? I can buy them at twice the market price."
Qiu Xuewen stood up and bowed tremblingly to Lin Yao.
Looking at Qiu Xuewen who was finally convinced, Lin Yao said lightly:
"Mr. Qiu is easier to talk to. Zhan Mi, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Brother Yao!" Zhan Mi stood up suddenly.
Later, Lin Yao looked at Qiu Xuewen and said:
"You can buy back the shares of Far East Bank if you want, it's 2 billion! The ATV shares in your hand must be given to Tianyao Media unconditionally!"
"What? 2 billion!"
Qiu Xuewen and his grandson both looked horrified.
"Mr. Lin, the Far East Bank shares you hold are worth at most 500 million."
"You actually want me to pay 2 billion now. Are you taking advantage of the situation?"
Qiu Xuewen's face was ugly, as gloomy as a terminally ill diabetic patient.
At this time, the market value of Far Eastern Bank plummeted wildly.
But Lin Yao actually shouted out a transaction price that was several times higher than the market value, which was enough to eat people.
However, Lin Yao chuckled and said calmly:
"Mr. Qiu is joking. I am not a philanthropist when it comes to business."
"Even if Far East Bank's stock price falls again, it can still rise slowly after this crisis, right?"
As soon as the words fell
Qiu Xuewen and Qiu Wu's expressions changed slightly, with a hint of fear in their eyes!
When Far East Bank emerged, Qiu Xuewen gave up most of his shares for better development.
In addition to the many wealthy families in Hong Kong Island, Far East Bank's shareholders also include foreign consortiums, including HSBC.
"Choose one, either agree or refuse!" Lin Yao said calmly.
After a minute, Qiu Xuewen finally gave up.
He knew that if he didn't agree now, it would be impossible to even go back.
Soon, both parties signed the contract.
Tianyao Group sold all its shares in Far East Bank for 2 billion, making a net profit of 1.5 billion.
At the same time, Qiu Xuewen obtained the shares of Asia Television for free.
In this wave of operations, Lin Yao can be said to have made a lot of money!
For Qiu Xuewen, he suffered a big loss this time. But there was nothing he could do, who would have allowed him to meet a ruthless person like Lin Yao.
Originally, I wanted to show off to Yinglin today. But in the end, it was a waste of money.
After the transaction, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the office of the chairman of Tianyao Group.
"Brother Yao, Mr. Shen is here!"
Yun Piaopiao walked in and reported.
Hearing this, Lin Yao's eyes lit up.
When Shen Bi came to visit at this time, he must have completed the cooperation between Tianyao Finance and HSBC.
You must know that from last night to now, Shen Bi has negotiated with three Australian consortiums. This efficiency is indeed very high.
After Shen Bi walked in and exchanged greetings for a while, his expression was shocked and he said:
"Mr. Lin, I have purchased ATV shares from the three major Australian consortiums, totaling 38.5%. It cost 120 million yuan."
"Mr. Shen is quite good at bargaining, not bad!"
Lin Yao smiled slightly.
He was slightly surprised that HSBC was able to close the deal for less than 150 million.
What surprised him even more was the speed and efficiency of HSBC.
"Mr. Lin, this is the share transfer document. Please take a look."
While talking, Shen Bi took out a document that had been prepared long ago from the black briefcase.
HSBC transferred all the ATV shares it purchased from the Australian consortium to Tianyao Media.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Shen."
Lin Yao read the share transfer document and then said to Yun Piaopiao:
"Piaopiao, go and notify Zhan Mi and ask him to transfer 143 million to HSBC's account immediately, and ask Amei to come to my place to sign."
Of this, 130 million is the money for purchasing shares, and the other 13 million is the commission for Shen Bi.
Although many of Lin Yao's subsidiaries are financially affiliated with the headquarters, their operations are relatively independent.
Today's acquisition was proposed by Xiao Jude of Tianyao Media, so naturally Xiao Jude had to come and sign.
"Okay, Brother Yao, I'll be there right away." Yun Piaopiao immediately went down to inform Zhan Mi and Xiao Jew.
This transaction made Shen Bi very happy, because more than half of the 13 million was his personal commission.
Afterwards, Lin Yao and Shen Bi started chatting again.
Shen Bi was still very curious, why did Lin Yao fall in love with the TV station?
You must know that running a TV station is not easy.
Seven years ago, several consortiums in Hong Kong jointly funded the establishment of Jiayi TV Station.
Both the background and the funds are very top-notch, but what about now?
Jiayi TV Station is still dying.
Unlike a TV station that charges tickets for movies, the TV station's programs are completely free and can only be supported by advertising revenue.
If you want others to advertise on your TV station, you must have high ratings.
To have high ratings, you need good programs. If you want to have good programs, you need big investments.
And your investment vision must be accurate, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Therefore, you want to develop before these prerequisites are completed. It's all nonsense.
Most people probably won’t be able to endure the sneaky eating in the early stage.
In fact, of course Lin Yao understands these principles, but what he values is not only whether the TV station can make money, but also the influence of the TV station on public opinion.
Influence is more important than making money, especially with Lin Yao's current social background. He knows too well how important the right to speak is to him at this critical moment!
The right to speak is a sharp blade that many people fear.
If you are not happy with a company, send someone to investigate it, find out its problems, and then expose it. Maybe one exposure can kill the company.
If it doesn't work once, try again.
More importantly, Lin Yao has already started a fight with the foreigners.
If you are not happy with a foreigner or a Banana official, you can also secretly investigate whether there is corruption.
If you get solid evidence, just show it to the TV station.
For investigation, you have Fengtang, which is the most powerful intelligence agency in Hong Kong Island, no one else.
Now among the three major TV stations in Hong Kong Island, only TVB is in the best situation, with ratings crushing ATV and ATV.
But it is precisely because of this that TVB's major shareholder Shao Daheng will not sell TVB shares.
As for ATV, Lin Yao is not interested because he knows it is a big pit.
In order to establish this TV station, they agreed to broadcast ten hours of educational programs every day under the oppression of the foreigners.
It would be a miracle if such a program had ratings!
Even if Lin Yao acquired Jiayi TV, it would be impossible to revive it as long as the restrictive conditions were not abolished.
Therefore, the only choice for Lin Yao was ATV.
After acquiring ATV, and then adding his own film companies and magazines, Lin Yao would become a new generation of media tycoon in Hong Kong Island.
Like Murdoch's News Corporation, Lin Yao also wants to build a media empire!
Twenty minutes later, Little Jew had arrived.
After signing, there were two copies, one for Little Jew and the other for Shen Bi to take away.
…
Tseung Kwan O, Broadcast Road, this is the most prosperous place in Hong Kong Island.
There is another name here, called Wutai Mountain in Hong Kong Island.
It is not because this place is more like the Wutai Mountain in the mainland, but because there are two radio stations and three TV stations gathered on this street.
They are Hong Kong Island Radio, Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio, TVB Asia TV and Jiayi TV.
The night fell and the lights came on.
Most of the employees at the ATV headquarters had already left work.
The legendary general manager of ATV, Wong Hsi-chiu, was also preparing to get up and go home.
Twelve years ago, Wong Hsi-chiu became the general manager of ATV. He was the first Chinese general manager of ATV.
After taking office, Wong Hsi-chiu boldly used newcomers and discovered a group of young and energetic production talents.
Such as Mai Dang-xiong, Li Zhao-xiong, and Tu Yong-xiong, who are known as the "Three Heroes of Rediffusion".
"Screenwriter Master" Xiao Ruo-yuan, Xu Xiao-ming, etc.
Dong Dong Dong!
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the office and the secretary walked in.
"Anzi, what's the matter?" Wong Hsi-chiu asked, putting on a suit and looking up.
"General Manager Huang. Someone just sent an invitation letter and a document, so I have to deliver it to you in person." The secretary reported.
Wong Hsi-chiu frowned. Who would send him an invitation letter?
Then he opened the invitation letter and took a look at the signature, Lin Yao.
This name is familiar and unfamiliar.
The name Lin Yao is actually not too special.
But if you connect the words Tianyao and Hongxing, it will be a big deal!
But Huang Xizhao didn't know much about the society, so he didn't think about it.
He was still wondering who this Lin Yao was?
Why did he invite him to dinner?
When he opened the file, his face turned pale instantly!
He quickly looked at the content of the file, and then cursed:
"Damn it, these bastards, they didn't even inform me of such a big thing."
Then he hurriedly left the company and drove to the address written on the invitation letter.
...
8:30 pm, Tsim Sha Tsui Youguqi Restaurant.
Huang Xizhao was taken to the VIP box on the invitation letter by the waiter.
