Chapter 1160 ATV Fire
In this November, there were frequent accidents. On November 11, a fire broke out at London Cross Station, and a fire broke out at the ATV Building on the 18rd.

On the 28th, South African Airways Flight 295 crashed, killing all 159 people on board.

Following the news, Li Guangyu has repeatedly emphasized safety issues to the senior management of the major groups this month, and asked the security department to conduct a large-scale investigation of hidden dangers in the group to prevent similar accidents from happening in Li's industries.

On the morning of the second day after the fire broke out in the ATV building, Li Guangyu met with Qiu Degen at the Xinyi Tea House in Central.

Although the fire in the ATV building was extinguished at [-]:[-] pm last night through the efforts of Xiangjiang Fire, the ATV building is no longer able to carry out normal office work.

After sitting down, Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Qiu, just tell me if you have anything to do, and I will try my best to help."

At this time, Li Guangyu didn't need to guess to know that Qiu Degen must be looking for him because of ATV's business. Now the ATV building can't be used, but it is impossible for ATV to stop broadcasting like this. It must be restored as soon as possible. It is not easy for ATV to develop to the present , If you stop for a long time, it will be ruined.

Now the three major TV stations in Hong Kong are all satellite TV, and several parties are willing to invest, and they have relatively high requirements for program quality, which makes the benefits of several TV stations very good.

Now the three TV stations are implementing dislocation development. In addition to the comprehensive channel, Jiayi also has sports channels, news channels, Mandarin channels, and children's channels.

In addition to comprehensive channels, ATV also has music channels and TV drama channels.

In addition to wireless integrated channels, there are also wireless movie channels and wireless variety channels on the wireless side.

The three major TV stations have preliminarily constructed a program channel that covers the needs of various groups of people. With the support of overseas closing crowds, the advertising fees of the three major TV stations have increased year by year, and several TV stations have made good profits.

At this time, Qiu Degen was not too polite with Li Guangyu. Over the years, the relationship between the two parties has become quite familiar. He is now one of the shareholders of the New Asia Investment Company in the Far East Bank, and he is also a member of the Xiangjiang Consortium.

He said aloud: "Guangyu, I came here today to hope that ATV employees can work in Jiayi Building for the time being. I plan to push the ATV Building directly and build a new ATV Building on the side of Tseung Kwan O. At that time, ATV will be transferred to go over there."

Mount Wutai is too crowded, especially since several major TV stations have been expanding their frequency over the years, so it is not suitable for several major TV stations to stay together.

Qiu Degen knew very well that TVB had been planning to move to Tseung Kwan O for a long time. This time, the ATV building had such a situation, so Qiu Degen simply went there one step ahead of time. After ATV goes there, it will be easier to find talents.

It is a pity that the Communication University of Hong Kong has been established in Tin Shui Wai. If it is also in Tseung Kwan O, it will be more conducive to the development of ATV. Tseung Kwan O will definitely become the new film and television entertainment center of Hong Kong.

The Jiayi Building has only been completed for a few years, and there is no problem for ATV to work in it. Now Jiayi still has enough free space.

After Qiu Degen finished speaking, Li Guangyu responded immediately: "Uncle Qiu, there is nothing wrong with this matter. I will greet Tang Zaichuan, Ye Jiexin and others. You can just ask the senior management of ATV to connect with them."

Qiu Degen said with a smile: "Guangyu, thank you for your help. This fire has hit our ATV quite hard, and many equipments have been damaged. We still need to borrow Jiayi's equipment for a few days. ATV is buying all kinds of equipment needed in various places." .”

The only thing that made Qiu Degen feel lucky was that ATV's film library was not engulfed by the fire, and ATV's film library was still intact, otherwise ATV would really be emptied by the fire this time.

The main cause of the fire was the aging of the lines. The predecessor of ATV was Laidi. This building has been used for decades, and many aspects of the facilities have not kept up with the development of ATV.

Qiu Degen is usually very busy, with many properties under his umbrella, ATV is basically managed by Huang Xizhao, and he rarely intervenes in the affairs here, so he is negligent in some aspects.

After this incident, Qiu Degen became vigilant, and specially asked his subsidiaries Far East Bank, Far East International Hotel, and Heung Kong Far East Holding Group to conduct a large-scale inspection of the safety of their industries, especially the circuit safety of the industry.

"Uncle Qiu, Jiayi still has spare equipment. I will inform Ye Jiexin that ATV personnel can use it directly after entering Jiayi Building, and it will not affect ATV too much."

Li Guangyu still attaches great importance to ATV. He is also a shareholder of ATV. ATV is also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Affected by the sharp drop in the stock market and yesterday's fire, ATV was hit hard again, but ATV's current market value remains the same. Reached more than 18 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At present, Heung Kong Far East Holding Group holds the most shares in ATV, which holds 35% of the shares, Heung Kong Bank holds 15% of the shares, Hsinchu Commercial Bank holds 10% of the shares, Tianyu Investment Company also holds 10% of the shares, and the other 30% is tradable. share.

Li Guangyu didn't want ATV to go bankrupt, not to mention that Qiu Degen came here, even if Qiu Degen didn't come in person, he would find a way to help ATV through this crisis.

The existence of three TV stations in Hong Kong is ideal, so that they can compete without being too messy. The dominance of one TV station is not conducive to the development of Hong Kong Film and Television Entertainment. There will be no competitive pressure, and there will be no motivation.

Now the three TV stations have their own strengths, each has its own audience groups, compete with each other and cooperate with each other, so that the TV industry in Hong Kong can prosper for a long time.

Li Guangyu is not only one of the major shareholders of ATV, he also controls 15% of TVB's shares, but this is not controlled by Tianyu Investment Company.

After discussing the matter of ATV, Qiu Degen asked: "Guangyu, will you attend the opening ceremony of the National Games in Huadu tomorrow morning?"

This time, Jiayi Sports Channel will broadcast the event live, TVB and ATV will also have a team of reporters covering the event, and the presidents of TVB, ATV and Jiayi will attend the event.

Huo Yingdong and his son Huo Zhengting, who have always been fond of sports and have been running outside for the mainland sports cause, will also attend.

He himself also received an invitation from Huo Yingdong, if it wasn't for the ATV fire, he would have gone to Huacheng by now.

This time, Li Guangyu also received an invitation from the top management of Guangdong Province, and the donations of Li Guangyu's subsidiaries for the National Games this time are not small. The accumulated donations of many groups exceeded 5000 million RMB.

But this is not a free donation. There will be billboards for his products in many venues of the National Games this time. This is a large-scale promotion of his products. Anyway, Li Guangyu thinks he has made money this time. .

Li Guangyu responded: "Uncle Qiu, I will take a special plane with Wei Qing at four o'clock this afternoon. This time the National Games will be held in Huacheng. It is rare to be so close to us in Xiangjiang, and many of my industries are developed in Guangdong Province. This time it is just right. Take a look along the way."

Seeing Li Guangyu's special plane passing by, Qiu Degen said: "Guangyu, since your special plane is going to go there, let's go there with you, so that I don't have to charter a special plane."
