Chapter 114 Target Li’s TV station!

Judging from the current three major TV stations in Hong Kong, TVB has already made profits, has good hematopoietic ability, and is developing better and better.

Jiayi TV has inherent shortcomings, and it has to broadcast educational programs during prime time. Although Jiayi TV’s shareholders and management have worked hard, its strength is just that.

Judging from the ratings, the ratings of Jiayi TV and Li's TV are similar. However, in the past two years, the martial arts TV series introduced and produced by Jiayi TV are both good, and the ratings are also acceptable.

Li's TV station has always had an old problem. It has poor blood-forming ability and has been losing money.

Even if Li's major shareholder Li's Voice holds 61% of the shares, it would be difficult to compare with TVB, which has more shareholders.

Historically, in March 1981, Y Guoli's Voice Company transferred 61% of its shares to an Australian consortium, and Li's Voice was no longer in charge of Li's TV.

In July 1982, Far East Group Chairman Qiu Degen invested HK$100 million to purchase 50% of the equity and obtained joint management rights. On September 24, Li's TV was renamed Asia Television Co., Ltd. (ATV).

In 1984, Qiu purchased the remaining shares and took full control of ATV.

Beginning in 1985, Asia Television returned to profitability.

In 1988, his eldest son Qiu Dacheng hit and killed Sir while driving drunk and was sentenced to jail. This incident frustrated Qiu Degen's ambitions and he intended to give up Asia Television.

In June 1988, Lin Baixin purchased 30.83% of Asia Television's shares from Qiu Degen in the name of his family and became the chairman of the board of directors.

In 1994, Lin Baixin purchased further shares. Lin personally and Lixin Group held 67.5% of ATV's shares, becoming the absolute controlling shareholder.

In other words, Li's TV station actually developed well after being acquired by the Qiu family.

However, Qiu Degen had no choice but to give up due to personal and family relationships.

Asia Television developed under the hands of the Lin family and once competed with TVB.

Calculate it this way.

This beautiful TV station is actually quite good.

Why it has been losing money year after year, in Yang Ming's opinion, in the early days, those white people did not understand the TV market in Xiangjiang. Li's TV station was left to them to be managed by white people, and it could not develop at all.

On the contrary, because TVB has Shao Yifu, a professional film and television background, TVB is developing better and better under the hands of Shaw Brothers.

Historically, Shaw Brothers also became a famous film and television entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong with TVB in the late 1980s.

Yang Ming didn't want to touch Jiayi TV Station.

Because of TVB's relationship with Shaw Brothers, even if Yang Ming is the major shareholder, it is possible for him to take over TVB, but after all, there are other shareholders interfering, so it is naturally not fun.

Li's TV station is different.

Its only major shareholder is Li Husheng, and the remaining shareholders have few shares.

If Li's voice is willing to let go and Yang Ming takes over Li's TV station, it will be easy.

This matter is indeed worth thinking about.

. . .

It's past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Yang Ming finally finished his work.

I don't know if it's because of his own body, or because he's been in contact with the computer for a day today, but Yang Ming feels very tired.

"Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, give me a massage later."

"Yes, Master."

Yang Ming returned to the master room.

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong carefully massaged Yang Ming.

At some point, Azhu and Zhong Chuhong discovered that Yang Ming had fallen asleep.

The two women looked at each other, fearing to wake Yang Ming, so they covered Yang Ming with a thin quilt, turned off the lights, and then went back to rest.

Wait for Yang Ming to wake up.

The time has come to 7:00 in the morning.

Yang Ming washed his face under the service of Azhu and Zhong Chuhong.

Come downstairs and have breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife.

After breakfast.

Yang Ming sat in a Rolls-Royce and headed to the Federal Building.

When Yang Ming arrived in the office of the chairman of the Imperial Group in a wheelchair.

Everyone else in the company has already come to the company.

9:00 am.

After Yang Ming distributed the global stock information, he said: "Lin Xiuzhi, go and call Meris."

Not long after, Merith came over from the general manager's office next door.

"boss."

"Merith, what's going on with Red Bull Beverage Company?"

Yang Ming asked Merisi to go to Bangkok, Siam in person to acquire the ownership of Xu Shubiao's Red Bull, but Yang Ming still took it seriously.

Even after Yang Ming privatized Hutchison Soda, it became the parent company of the current Red Bull Beverage Company.

In other words, Red Bull Beverage Company's start in Xiangjiang was based on the original Hutchison Soda.

In addition, after Yang Ming acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Whampoa also owned sales channels such as Watsons and PepsiCo.

"Boss, Red Bull has already started production. We have arranged three production lines at the Hutchison Soda Factory. One production line can produce 800 cans per minute and more than 96,000 boxes per day. However, I am worried that we will not be able to sell it by then."

Now, except for its popularity in Siam and Nanyang, Red Bull has no reputation at all in Hong Kong or even other parts of the world.

It's normal for Melis to be worried like that.

"Mailisi, you don't have to worry about this. Just continue mass production. I think it will definitely be very popular in Hong Kong."

Except Red Bull.

There is also the Murray Building plot that Yang Ming spent a lot of money to buy some time ago.

As the future headquarters of the Empire State Building, Yang Ming was also very concerned about it.

"Merith, the Empire State Building was built in Murray Building. How is it now?"

"Boss, we have already sent invitations to architectural design firms and architectural designers around the world. By then, architectural designers and architectural design firms around the world will definitely come up with their own design drawings to see you."

Yang Ming nodded.

He hopes that the Empire State Building can be built within three years. Otherwise, if it is too late, he will not have to spend so much money to acquire the Murray Building site.

"Yesterday, Ms. Liang Shuyi, the general manager of Jiayi TV, came to see me at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa and wanted me to inject capital to save Jiayi TV, but I refused."

Melis doesn't know much about the TV stations in Xiangjiang.

Since the boss is not willing to invest in Jiayi TV, then not investing is nothing in Meris' view.

"However, I am interested in Li's TV station."

Yang Ming fell in love with Li's TV station?

Melis was a little surprised.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"I want to control a Xiangjiang TV station. Originally, Hutchison Whampoa had shares in TVB. TVB's equity is more complex, so it is difficult to win over TVB, and Shaw Brothers and Lee Family are deeply involved. On the contrary, the largest shareholder of Lai's TV Station is only Lai's Husheng holds 60% of the shares. If Li Husheng is willing to sell its shares to me, then I can easily take over Li Husheng’s TV station. I want you to meet the major shareholders of Li Husheng and ask them to sell their shares. Give me."

On April 6, 1973, Lai's Voice made major changes. The broadcast mode was changed from wired to wireless, and from paid to free. The name was also changed from Lai's Voice to Lai's TV, and it was divided into Lai's Chinese Channel and Lai's English. Taiwan has two channels.

On the same day, Lai's Voice Co., Ltd. was registered in Xiangjiang to bid for the new wireless television broadcasting license. The largest shareholder was Lai's Voice (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (it was the branch of Y Guoli's Voice in Hong Kong at the time), accounting for The shares exceed 60%, and other shareholders include Jardine Matheson, the Kadoorie family, the Wing On Kwok family, Zata Bank, the Xu Shixun family, etc.

"Boss, no problem."
