Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1326 Xiangjiang only needs one TV station
"I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Huang Xizhao was sitting around with Xu Xiaoming and other ATV executives.

He remembered that when he met Lin Daoqiu for the first time seven years ago, the other party was just a fledgling young man.

At that time, with his "Master Qian", he won the box office champion of Xiangjiang film history. In order to resist TVB, he personally asked him to help write three TV series.

No one expected that today, seven years later, he would transform himself into the owner of this TV station. Looking back now, it still feels as if everything happened yesterday.

"I believe that Mr. Lin's entry into ATV should not be surprising to everyone."

Xu Xiaoming can be said to be a strong supporter, and he is also one of the people who desperately hope that Lin Daoqiu can enter ATV as soon as possible.

Because he knew very well that compared with Lin Daoqiu, the Qiu family's help to ATV was probably only in terms of money.

It is obviously not within the scope of the Qiu family's ability to improve ATV's TV production level.

Moreover, during the recent period, ATV's ratings have been declining, which has led to a corresponding decrease in the revenue of the TV station, and the situation of advertising investment next year is even less optimistic.

If the Qiu family still controlled ATV, it would only be a vicious circle in the end.

But all these worries will disappear after Lin Daoqiu enters ATV.

"As soon as the news of Mr. Lin becoming the owner of ATV came out, all the merchants who were still hesitant before had made it clear that they would renew their subscriptions, and the prices were [-]% higher than before."

As the director of the advertising department of a TV station, it has been a long time since I have encountered such a good thing.

"Don't be in a hurry to sign the advertisement, it's all up to Mr. Lin to decide."

Huang Xizhao didn't dare to assert his power at this time. Lin Daoqiu controlled [-]% of ATV's shares, so all future affairs of ATV had to be approved by him.

…………

After a few months, Lin Daoqiu came back to ATV, and Lin Daoqiu's feelings were very different from before.

A few months ago, he was only the second largest shareholder of ATV, but now, this TV station has become his private property.

Directly ahead, Huang Xizhao led all the management personnel of the TV station to stand at the door, waiting for Lin Daoqiu to drive.

"Everyone is old acquaintances, there is no need to be so rigid, everyone relax."

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and greeted Huang Xizhao and others with a smile.

Although Lin Daoqiu showed a very friendly attitude, Huang Xizhao and others did not dare to really relax in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, the conference room is ready, please move."

After Huang Xizhao finished speaking, he turned sideways to get out of the way.

Knowing that they would not change what he said, Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to waste any more words.

After leading a group of ATV executives into the meeting room, Lin Daoqiu sat down on the main seat without hesitation.

"A few days ago, I bought all the shares of ATV from the Qiu family. I believe everyone should have heard of this matter."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he looked around, and then continued: "Since ATV has changed hands, this TV station will more or less definitely change."

Everyone knows that there are three fires for a new official to take office, not to mention the direct change of ownership of the entire TV station, but they don't know what kind of transformation Lin Daoqiu plans to make to ATV.

"The name of ATV was given by Mr. Yau. Since the owner of this TV station is changed to me, the name of the TV station will naturally not continue to use ATV."

Lin Daoqiu actually didn't like the name of ATV TV station. After all, the situation of ATV in the previous life can be said to be very worrying.

Although there were some outstanding performances during the period, most of the time they were still suppressed by Wireless.

Lin Daoqiu does not believe in ghosts and gods, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are still very superstitious about Feng Shui, so Lin Daoqiu wants to change the name of ATV, but no one expressed any opinion on this.

"I don't know what kind of name Mr. Lin plans to name the TV station?"

Huang Xizhao was very curious about this. Could it be that Lin Daoqiu planned to keep the name of New Oriental and change this TV station to New Oriental TV?
"I plan to change the name of the TV station to Oriental TV. The English name is Orientaltv or OTV for short."

The reason why New Oriental TV is not used is because Lin Daoqiu thinks the four characters are easier to read, so it doesn't matter if there is one new character missing.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's decision, naturally no one at the scene expressed objection. After all, this is Lin Daoqiu's TV station, so he can change it however he wants.

And the meaning of "Oriental" is also very broad. It can be regarded as similar to ATV, so there is nothing to object to.

"The name Oriental TV is very good, I like this name very much."

Xu Xiaoming was the first to stand up and express his agreement, and then there were endless voices of approval at the scene, and the name of Oriental TV was decided in this way.

The name change of the TV station is just a trivial matter for Lin Daoqiu. There are still many things that really need to be drastic, including the production of TV dramas and variety shows.

"In the next five years, I will spend one billion Hong Kong dollars for additional investment, plus ATV's annual income, I hope that within five years, the ratings will be on par with TVB, and even surpassed in some programs. other side."

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's decision, everyone at the scene showed joyful expressions on their faces.

One billion in five years is equivalent to an annual investment of [-] million. With the original income of ATV, the funds that ATV can use in a year will be five times more than before.

Originally, for them, defeating wireless was just an unattainable goal.

But now for them, defeating TVB is only a matter of time. After all, with Lin Daoqiu's blessing, at least in the TV series, ATV should not have any problems crushing TVB.

"Since the additional investment has been made, the themes of TV dramas, variety shows, and news programs must also be changed. First of all, ATV's studio needs to be greatly remodeled, and various equipment must be fully updated."

These decisions of Lin Daoqiu all required money, and they were things that were unthinkable before.

But for Lin Daoqiu, the TV station is a long-term investment, and it must focus on ten years later, and the amount of initial investment must not be small.

Moreover, there will be a ratings battle with TVB in the future, and the money to be spent will not be much less.

"All in all, Xiangjiang is not a big place, and only one TV station is enough."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

It didn't take long for Lin Daoqiu's words to spread, and immediately became a hot topic in the streets and alleys.
