Chapter 851 865 【Four Great Dragon Heads】on
Hong Kong, the Song family mansion---
Song Zhichao was woken up early in the morning by his servant, saying that a guest had come to visit.

Song Zhichao didn't inquire carefully. After washing in a hurry, he put on his suit and tie. Before he had time to eat breakfast, he went to the reception hall downstairs.

In the spacious and bright hall, there were not one but four guests who came. Specifically, they were all acquaintances—including Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng brothers from the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Hong Kong film industry bigwigs. Zou Wenhuai Chow Daheng, and Chairman Wu Siyuan Wu, the current chairman of the Hong Kong Film Association.

These four are all bigwigs in the Hong Kong film and entertainment circles. Among them, the Xiang brothers are the big bosses of the original Yongsheng Entertainment, and they signed contracts with the current kung fu superstar Jet Li, and the fast gun director Fatty Wang Jing;
Zou Wenhuai is the big boss of Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company. Needless to say, the big star of Golden Harvest Film Company is Jackie Chan, who once replaced Bruce Lee as the number one action superstar in Hong Kong, and even entered Hollywood;

As for that Chairman Wu Siyuan, let alone Wu Siyuan, he was the first film company in the Hong Kong film industry to discover Jackie Chan, Tsui Hark and Leslie Cheung behind the scenes, and now he is the first chairman of the Film Association.

Seeing these four people coming, Song Zhichao couldn't help but be amazed, and hurriedly asked the servant Sansao to serve tea, and invited the four to sit down and discuss in detail.

After sitting down, Wu Siyuan, as the representative, went straight to the point and told Song Zhichao that they came here for a certain acquisition case of "Hong Kong Film Group".

……

It turns out that the Song Group under Song Zhichao has four pillar industries, namely Wanda Foreign Trade, Wanxin Investment Company, Wanda Electronics, and Phantom Entertainment.

As for China Investment Bank and Rosneft, they are not under the full control of Song Zhichao. Among them, China Investment Bank is a shareholder system, and Song Zhichao is only the largest shareholder and has a veto power, but he is not the only one in control.

The oil company is controlled by Song Zhichao's old father-in-law, General Yorkoff, and will be handed over to his grandson Alexander Jr. in the future; as for some of Song Zhichao's investment in hotels and real estate in the Mainland, it belongs to Wanxin International's investment behavior, and Song Zhichao is not directly involved. There are also Ericsson mobile phones, Nokia mobile phones and Motorola mobile phones, all of which belong to Wanda Electronics.

Special mention should be made here of Phantom Entertainment.

Because this is the most important link in the "capital chain" of all Song Zhichao's pillar industries. ".

In other words, ever since Song Zhichao used the Thunderbolt method to capture all the Hong Kong film companies that were like the disputes of the Warring States Period in one fell swoop, with his own Phantom Entertainment as the mainstay, combined with Yongsheng Entertainment, Golden Harvest Films and more than a dozen big-name film companies to join in, the establishment of " Hong Kong Film Group" strives to build a film aircraft carrier belonging to Hong Kong, to get rid of the original situation where major Hong Kong film companies operate independently and compete with each other, and to gather solidarity for the future development of Hong Kong.

Of course, this has great benefits. It can set the same goal and unify the rules, so that Hong Kong films will no longer follow the old path and avoid decline. The Board of Directors of Film Group makes a decision.

It's the same this time.

After the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Group, it wanted to annex the film and television resource market in one fell swoop. There is no need to think too much about the film resources, which have already been controlled by the film group. The remaining small film companies with Taiwanese capital are not a concern.But in terms of TV resources, TVB and Hong Kong ATV are two hard bones.

Needless to say, TVB, this is the Hong Kong TV empire that Mr. Shao gave up Shaw Brothers Film Company and devoted all his efforts to build. Not only are there many talents, but also rich financial resources. ——After all, Uncle Shao is a god-like existence, and has already become an idol and spiritual pillar in the film and television industry. Even a bold person like Song Zhichao dare not be inferior.

Since the TBV TV company cannot be targeted, the "Hong Kong Film Group" headed by Wu Siyuan, Zou Wenhuai and the Xiang brothers set their sights on Hong Kong ATV, which has been competing with TVB.

Hong Kong ATV, formerly known as Hong Kong "Lidee" TV, was renamed "Hong Kong ATV" in 1982 when Qiu Degen settled in Laidi.

Since then, ATV and TVB have been known as the two major TV stations in Hong Kong. It is precisely because of the existence of ATV in Hong Kong that Hong Kong has not been dominated by TVB.

Hong Kong ATV is also considered to be strong and talented, and has shot many good films, such as "The Change of the Silkworm", which has the highest ratings in Hong Kong, and the classic TV series "Heroes Huo Yuanjia", "The Grace of the Earth", "Again to the Tiger". "Mountain Journey", "Amber Blue Dragon" and so on.

Unfortunately, the fate of ATV is changeable.

Due to the internal power struggle of the Qiu Degen family, the ATV production funds were extremely insufficient in the later period, which caused the quality of TV programs to decline all the way, and the ratings in Hong Kong dropped even more. They lost to TVB in both TV series and variety show production.

Until 1988, the Lin Baixin family in Hong Kong acquired a 8% stake in ATV with 30.83 million yuan and became the chairman of the board of directors; in 1994, they spent another 13 billion to purchase shares. Since then, Lin Baixin’s shareholding in ATV has reached 67.5% %, becoming the absolute controlling shareholder.

Under the auspices of the Lin Group, Hong Kong Asia is still congested and revived. In 1994 alone, three major dramas were filmed, "The Yang Family General", "The Blue Blood and the Blue Sky Pearl Banner" and "The King of Drama Kings". Steadily rising; and this year, ATV even invited the famous action star Zhen Zidan to film the classic kung fu movie "Fist of Fury". .

It can be seen that after ATV injected production funds, the entire TV station has a new spring. If it is managed well, it can return to its peak and compete with TVB.

……

In other words, after Song Zhichao created the "Hong Kong Film Group" by himself, in order to win people's hearts, he entrusted Wu Siyuan, Zou Wenhuai, and the Xiang brothers with important tasks, and let them serve as the main directors of the entire group, becoming the four key members of the group's development. faucet.

However, these four bosses are restless and ambitious. Song Zhichao hopes that they can eat vegetarian meals as long as they don't affect the development of the group. However, the four want to annex ATV, making the film group It can cover two types of movies and TV.

Originally this was a good suggestion, but TVB and the others couldn't gnaw at it. They wanted to gnaw at the bone of ATV but found it a bit hard.

On the one hand, Lin Baixin has a positive attitude towards the development of ATV, and has no intention of selling ATV from the beginning to the end; , and the most important point, although the film group is eyeing ATV but can't use force, the reason is that this Lin Baixin is not an ordinary person, he has a cousin who is also a strong man in Hong Kong, that is Hong Kong tycoon Lin Wannian!
To put it bluntly, Lin Wannian and Lin Baixin are cousins, and they both belong to the Lin family clan in Hong Kong.The two brothers are both Hong Kong tycoons, and they help each other whenever they encounter problems. After all, they are all of the same family.

And Lin Wannian had a good relationship with Song Zhichao, and Song Zhichao even called him "Uncle Lin".

In addition to being the major shareholder of Song Zhichao's leading China Investment Bank, Lin Wannian is also a partner of Song Zhichao Wanda Trading Company.

In addition, Lin Wannian's son, Lin Jiahao, and Song Zhichao are "old friends"; while Lin Wannian's daughter, Lin Jiaqi, is married to Fu Jiajun. As for the relationship between Fu Jiajun and Song Zhichao, everyone in Hong Kong knows. The iron-clad "best friend", when Song Zhichao rose to Xiangjiang, he relied on the help of the Fu family.

With so many messy relationships involved, it simply made it impossible for the four leaders of the "Hong Kong Film Group" to do anything to "ATV".

The relationship is too complicated, and it affects the whole body.

It is also because of this that although the four leaders proposed the acquisition of ATV, it has always been superficial. They only passed on the word to Lin Baixin's family, but the other party did not speak, did not express their agreement, and did not express their disapproval.Si Longtou gave up after that, thinking that this time he was going to die in the womb.

Unexpectedly, just yesterday, the Lin family suddenly replied that they agreed to the "Hong Kong Film Group" to acquire full rights to Asia Television, but there was one condition, the price was 28 billion, and all of it was required to be credited within a week after signing the contract, and - no bargaining!
……

"Uh……"

After listening to the narration of Wu Siyuan and others, Song Zhichao was also stunned.

Because the news came so suddenly.

For Song Zhichao, what was even more sudden was that the news that Lin Baixin agreed to the film group's acquisition of ATV was precisely at the juncture when he wanted to acquire Kang Yonglian's company.

That's right, the reason why Song Zhichao was unwilling to make peace with Kang Yonglian from the very beginning was to annex his company—the cat catches the mouse and swallowed it when he got tired of playing; but now, he can't swallow it because he has to The funds at hand were used to acquire ATV, because the money belonged to the Hong Kong Film Group.

In other words, today Wu Siyuan, Zou Wenhuai and the Xiang brothers are not here to seek Song Zhichao's opinion on the acquisition of ATV, but to "force debts".
