Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1324 False account disturbance
In the competition with Wireless, ATV has always been at a disadvantage, but because of the relationship with Lin Daoqiu these years, ATV's performance is much better than in the previous life.

Since the news of Lin Daoqiu and Qiu Degen's falling out spread across Xiangjiang, ATV's ratings began to decline steadily.

From the peak of nearly four to six, it has fallen to two to eight. If this continues, ATV will fall into the same situation as the previous life.

At the beginning, Qiu Degen thought that it would be okay without Lin Daoqiu's help. Anyway, ATV has stabilized, and even if the ratings drop, it will not drop much.

But he still underestimated Lin Daoqiu's role in ATV and overestimated ATV's potential.

ATV, which had turned from loss to profit last year, has experienced a sharp drop in revenue for more than half a year. It is almost certain that by the end of the year, the financial report will definitely be ugly.

Although the loss is not much, but for ATV, this is tantamount to letting all their previous efforts go to waste.

"Is there no way to reverse the current predicament?"

On this day, Qiu Degen brought Qiu Dagen to ATV and convened a meeting of management to discuss.

Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming sat at the lower left of Qiu Degen, and when other people in the conference room heard Qiu Degen's question, they all lowered their heads silently.

Compared with before, ATV's investment has been greatly reduced in recent years, and the salaries of middle- and lower-level artists have been stagnant, coupled with Qiu Degen's consistent frugal attitude.

In the past year, the funds invested in ATV's TV drama shooting can be said to be more limited than before.

Unless it is a large-scale production, ordinary TV dramas can hardly get too high a production fee, which also leads to uneven production levels of ATV dramas.

"Manager Huang, tell me."

Seeing that no one spoke, Qiu Degen had no choice but to call Huang Xizhao's name.

Huang Xizhao actually has no good solution, he is a very good manager, but if you want him to lead ATV to defeat TVB, it is almost impossible.

In fact, what Huang Xizhao is best at is discovering talents. From the beginning of "Beautiful Three Heroes" to later personally inviting Lin Daoqiu to write dramas for ATV, it can be said that he has a very accurate eye for picking people.

But if you want to fight against a giant like Wireless, if you don't have enough funds for him to deploy, then I'm afraid it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

"Recently, ATV's ratings have indeed been declining steadily. On the one hand, our work is not in place, but there are also many reasons."

Lin Daoqiu's departure and ATV's investment reduction, under such circumstances, if ATV's ratings can be stabilized, then Huang Xizhao is probably not a man but a god.

Qiu Degen knew very well that most of the reasons Huang Xizhao said were due to himself.

In fact, Qiu Degen didn't expect that the feud with Lin Daoqiu would cause ATV to decline so quickly.

But at this time, it is obviously impossible for him to admit defeat or mistake to Lin Daoqiu.

"Since everyone knows where the problem lies, we must work hard in the future. I hope that before the end of the year, I can see a significant improvement in ATV."

Qiu Degen is obviously trying to force others to do this. For Huang Xizhao and the others, not to mention stabilizing the ratings, keeping the ratings from falling to a ratio of [-] to [-] is already very remarkable.

Back in his office, after Qiu Degen sat down, the expression on his face seemed very unhappy.

"Father, if we want to improve the current situation of ATV, we must increase our investment, but I think it is as difficult as heaven to beat TVB."

Although Qiu Dagen knew that Qiu Degen didn't want to hear this, he still felt that he should tell the truth.

Turning his head to look at Qiu Dagen, Qiu Degen didn't speak, although he also knew that what his son said was the truth.

"If this situation continues, ATV will lose at least 2000 million or more every year."

Qiu Dagen has already done calculations, and he believes that continuing to operate ATV under such circumstances is tantamount to throwing money into the fire pit.

"Then what do you think we should do? Is it possible to sell ATV to Lin Daoqiu?"

Qiu Degen knew that his son had always advocated selling ATV to Lin Daoqiu, throwing this burden away from the Far East Group.

Qiu Dagen didn't evade, he nodded directly, admitting that he really thought so.

"Hmph... ATV's predicament is only temporary. As long as there are a few well-received and well-received TV series, the ratings will naturally return to the original track."

For his father's stubbornness, Qiu Dagen has nothing to do. If ATV's problem can be solved so easily, then he really underestimates Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-wah.

Then Qiu Degen called Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming to his office.

"I plan to invest an additional 1 million yuan to make four major productions."

Qiu Degen actually planned to continue to invest an additional 1 million yuan, which shocked Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming.

It is of course a good thing to have money to make movies. If this is the case, then next year ATV's TV dramas should not be overwhelmed by TVB, and there is even a possibility of overtaking TVB.

"bell……"

At this moment, the phone on Qiu Degen's desk suddenly rang.

Qiu Degen picked up the phone and said something casually.

"I'm Qiu Degen..."

I don't know what I said to Qiu Degen on the phone, but his brows were deeply furrowed.

After putting down the phone, Qiu Degen looked a little uneasy.

"You go back to work first."

Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming didn't know what happened, but they didn't dare to ask, so they left Qiu Degen's office honestly.

After Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming left, Qiu Dagen hurriedly asked.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Qiu Degen can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from his son.

"People from the Commercial Crime Investigation Section just came to the company to find me and said that I was suspected of forging false accounts."

When Qiu Dagen heard this, his eyes immediately popped out.

And a week later, a business weekly first disclosed the news. Suddenly, the news became bigger and bigger like a stone stirring up thousands of waves.

Everyone began to have different opinions, some said it was nothing, but some people said it should be true.

But regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Qiu Degen has not appeared in front of the public since that day.

As a result, the turmoil intensified. Some people said that Qiu Degen had left Xiangjiang to go abroad, and some even said that Qiu Degen had been arrested, but as for the truth, only a few people knew.

Among the people who are most concerned about this incident, Lin Daoqiu is one of them.
