The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 66 Goodview goes bankrupt
Li Jianhui was very busy in September, with several major factories entering the site, recruiting production staff, and transferring office areas.

On the eve of the Huo family's eldest son's wedding, there was a huge shock in the media industry in Xiangjiang, and Jiashi, one of the three major free TV stations, announced its closure.

This TV station, which was established in 75, did not expect that its existence would be so short. In just three years, it had to choose to close due to economic reasons.

At the beginning of the year, there was a huge effort to wrestle with TVB and launch a July offensive. In the end, this project became the last straw that crushed Jiashi.

In the office of the president of Huihong Game Group, Li Jianhui read the newspaper and fell into deep thought. He has been undecided whether to take down the TV station.

As he who came from time travel, Li Jianhui is very aware of the importance of a media to him, and mastering a TV station gives him a channel to speak out.

However, the Hong Kong government's restrictions on Jiashi made him prefer to wait two years to win Li's from the British consortium, rather than take over the current Jiashi.

Chen Yulian looked at the hesitant Li Jianhui and said, "Jianhui, if you think the current Jiashi is not suitable for our development, then let it go for now.

Now that the bankruptcy administrator, Hoss, has taken over Jiashi and is in charge of Jiashi's liquidation, maybe there will be a turning point in the future, removing the time limit for Jiashi to broadcast educational programs, waiting for someone to take over Jiashi. "

For Li Jianhui's preparation to enter the film and television media industry, Chen Yulian is quite happy. Although she has only been in the wireless artist training class for less than half a year, she used to dream that she could become a big star like Zhao Yazi, Wang Mingquan, and Mi Wei. .

Although it is no longer possible for her to become an actress, if Li Jianhui owns a film and television media group, she can also become a star in the entertainment industry.

Thinking of the celebrity she once looked up to and admired becoming her subordinate, Chen Yulian felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

Li Jianhui is not a person who looks forward and backward. He is interested in Jiashi, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the special regulations for Jiashi must be cancelled, so that Jiashi can be the same as Wireless and Lai.

He said to Chen Yulian who was on the side: "You can contact Huos and ask if he is free tonight. I will treat him to dinner at the Peninsula Hotel."

……

At this time, Hoss stood in front of MacLehose with a helpless face. Just outside the Governor's Mansion, more than 400 employees of Jiashi were protesting collectively, demanding that Jiashi rebroadcast.

The current Jiashi is a mess. Competent employees have already moved to Wireless Li's. The remaining ones are not incompetent, but some of them are just dawdling.

In the past, there were outstanding artists such as Mi Wei, Zheng Yuling, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin, Yang Panpan, etc., but Jiashi failed to make a profit. Now that all of them have left, how can Jiashi bring Jiashi back to life with just passers-by like Jiashi.

The Bankruptcy Office doesn't want to waste taxpayers' money, and they won't give in to these people's persuasive petitions.

MacLehose is quite unhappy with what happened today. In the past few years when he has been in power in Hong Kong, such a situation has seldom occurred.

He was a little dissatisfied with Hoss and said, "What's the matter with your work? Why are hundreds of Jiashi employees gathered outside?"

Faced with MacLehose's questioning, Hoss also had a bad face. This time, several hundred employees of Jiashi gathered outside the Governor's Palace, which was obviously being manipulated in series.

As the current manager of Jiashi, he didn't even know about it. This is a serious mistake in his work.

"I think this incident was premeditated, and their purpose was to force us to let Jiashi start broadcasting again."

MacLehose didn't want to hear Hoth's explanation at all, he said: "Now I don't care if someone directs and manipulates, you can let the police department.

I just want to know when the Jiashi incident will be resolved. Is your bankruptcy bureau planning to keep Jiashi in your hands forever. "

MacLehose has apparently lost patience with Jiashi. From the suspension of Jiashi last month, the court officially announced the liquidation on the 7th of this month and handed over the responsibility to the Bankruptcy Administration.

During this period of time, Jiashi's problems have been raging, which has greatly damaged Xiangjiang and his image.

Hoss is actually very aware of the root cause of Jiashi. Jiashi's current fate, and no one to take over, is largely due to the restrictions imposed on Jiashi by the Hong Kong Television Advisory Committee.

One is that each shareholder cannot own more than 15% of the shares, and the other is that a two-hour educational program is broadcast during prime time from Monday to Friday, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, and no advertisements are allowed in the program.

The second point is simply the Achilles’ heel of Jiashi. Due to the rapid economic development of Xiangjiang, people’s life rhythm is quite fast. The prime time of TV stations is usually from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], which takes up two hours, making Jiashi very difficult. reverse the loss situation.

These days, many people have approached him, and they are very interested in Jiashi, but they all mentioned the issue of restrictions, asking the TV Advisory Committee to treat the three channels as equals, and cancel the special requirements for Jiashi.

It's just that Hoss can't decide this matter at all. After all, he is only an official of the Bankruptcy Administration and has no control over the TV Advisory Committee.

He said with some complaints: "It's not that I don't want to dispose of Jiayi as soon as possible, the main reason is that the News Media Management Office and the TV Advisory Committee have too many restrictions on Jiashi, and there is no capital willing to take over.

If the governor can make these two companies completely cancel the special requirements for Jiashi, so that Jiashi can compete fairly with Wireless Li, I promise to find capital to take over Jiashi within a week. "

MacLehose did not immediately agree to the cancellation of the restrictions. He agreed to the various restrictions on Jiayi at the beginning.

The reason is very simple. When TVB is controlled by Chinese capital and Lide is controlled by British capital, he does not want another TV station controlled by Chinese capital to be comparable to these two.

To know that a free TV station in this era has great influence on Hong Kong, he must ensure that Hong Kong's public opinion is under his control.

At the beginning, the founder of Jiashi was He Zuozhi. Considering the influence of the He family and his drastic reforms, he needed the support of all parties, so he agreed to the establishment of Jiashi.

Even so, he imposed various restrictions on it, preventing Jiashi from being able to join forces with Wireless to push Li's out.

If these conditions are relaxed now, he can guarantee that the major Chinese families in Xiangjiang will be moved by the news. It would be better if this TV station is controlled by the rightists, but it will be a big trouble for him if it is controlled by the leftists.

MacLehose, who had pondered for a long time, finally opened his mouth. He said to Hoss: "The special conditions can be cancelled, but you have selected the trading partner for me and made special regulations. Jiashi shares must be traded. Reviewed by the Television Advisory Committee.

Jiashi shareholders are not allowed to sell their shares without the approval of the TV Advisory Committee. "

Hoss was very happy in his heart. With MacLehose's approval, he would soon be able to get rid of Jiashi's mess.

As for MacLehose's request, it didn't matter to him. He knew which families MacLehose didn't want to get involved in the TV station, and he didn't think about making deals with those people.
