Chapter 359 ATV Changes Owner
After Huang Xizhao bid farewell to Bai Zirui yesterday, he immediately returned to the company, called all the directors of the TV station for a closed-door meeting, and informed everyone that the company had a major equity transaction and that the company had a new boss.

Huang Xizhao also conveyed Bai Zirui's promise that all operations of the TV station will remain unchanged. With him as the backbone, the worries in the hearts of other backbones of the TV station have also been reduced a little.

After going to work today, all departments held internal meetings as soon as possible, and the supervisors conveyed the news that the company had changed to a new boss.Although it caused a lot of discussion among the TV station employees, everyone's mentality is still peaceful, but there is a little more gossip and curiosity about the new boss.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zirui came to Li's TV station headquarters on time to attend the shareholders' meeting.The remaining shareholders of the TV station have been notified in advance, and all of them have attended this shareholders meeting.There are three items on the agenda of the parliament. The first item is to change the name of the station, from the original Li's TV station to Asia TV station, and the English station logo has also been changed from the previous "RTV" to "ATV".

The second issue was the appointment of new board members. Huang Xizhao and Zhou Liang Shuyi were recommended by Bai Zirui to serve as the chairman and vice chairman of the board respectively, and Xu Jingli was appointed as the executive director.

There are also two non-executive directors, namely Xu Jiankui and Michael Kadoorie. Xu Shixun did not continue to serve as a director of the new board of directors, but recommended his nephew Xu Jinkui to serve.

Non-executive directors only have the right to suggest, but not final voting and execution rights, so they have much less power and responsibility than executive directors.Their main duty is to supervise and inspect executive directors and company executives.

The third topic of the shareholders meeting was capital expansion. Bai Zirui had already communicated with several other shareholders in advance. Apart from the Xu family who agreed, the Kadoorie family, Wing On Guo and Jardine Matheson all expressed their dissent.

The votes held by Bai Zirui were enough to allow him to ignore the opinions of other shareholders. The final scale of capital expansion was set at 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. The Xu family and the Kadoorie family chose to subscribe in proportion, and the Guo family and Jardine Matheson chose to dilute their shares.

Bai Zirui acquired 61.2% of the shares held by Li's Husheng, and took over 7.5% of the shares owned by Standard Chartered, plus the funds that need to be subscribed after passing the capital expansion proposal, the total amount is as high as 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Standard Chartered Bank is responsible for providing the full amount credit.

The recent series of acquisitions of Dingtian Company consumed a lot of cash, and it was very stressful to spend such a large amount of money in one go, so Bai Zirui had no choice but to borrow money from the bank.

After the general meeting of shareholders, Huang Xizhao, the new chairman of the board of directors, presided over the first board meeting of ATV, appointed Zhou Liang Shuyi as the general manager of ATV, and Xu Jingli as the chief financial officer of ATV.

"Li's TV is renamed Asia TV, technology tycoon Bai Sheng crosses over to become a media tycoon! ", Shao Yifu sat in the car and browsed today's "Sing Tao Evening News", the news that Li's TV station changed hands was published in prominent places on the headlines.

Mr. Li Xiaohe, the first chairman of the board of directors of TVB TV station, died of a heart attack two years ago. Li Jia had no intention of continuing to be in charge of the TV station, and the three major shareholders of John Kingdom had no intention of taking over, so Shao Yifu took over as TVB (TVB) new chairman.

Over the past few years, Shaw Brothers Films has gradually lost the upper hand in the battle with Golden Harvest. Shao Yifu has long been determined to shift the focus of his career to the TV industry.Since he took office as the chairman of the TV station, he immediately moved his office from the film company to the TVB headquarters.

In the past two years, Li's TV station has been able to keep up with TVB in terms of ratings. Apart from its excellent TV series, it is also related to TVB's coaching change.As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, after Shao Yifu took over as the chairman of the TV station, he always had to make some personnel adjustments within TVB.

He completely controlled the TVB TV station through internal reorganization, but the competitor suddenly heard the news of the equity change. Some people in the company felt that the opponent's equity transfer would definitely cause some turmoil, which just gave Shao Yifu a chance to breathe.

But Shao Yifu couldn't feel the slightest relaxation. Although Li's TV station looked aggressive, it didn't actually make him feel too much pressure.Because Li's TV station's parent company can't concentrate on one Xiangjiang TV station, the support it can give Li's TV station is very limited.

But today, less than half a day after the new owner of Li TV Station took over, he has already strongly announced that he will expand the capital for the nascent ATV, and the cash flow of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars will soon reach the account of ATV TV, which makes the already heavily indebted ATV, at least for a year, does not need to worry about funding issues, and can go into battle with TVB to compete in the market.

While Shao Yifu was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, Bai Zirui, as the new boss of ATV, was hosting a banquet for all the management of the TV station at Fulinmen Restaurant.

Holding the wine glass, Bai Zirui stood up, looked around at the quiet crowd, and said with a loud smile, "My investment in Asia TV is not a temporary decision on a whim, nor is it a short-term investment that just makes a fortune. Operate ATV into a century-old store.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your hard work. At the same time, I sincerely hope that, under the auspices of Chairman Huang Xizhao and General Manager Zhou Liangshuyi, and the sincere cooperation of all colleagues, ATV will become a company that has won the praise of 500 million Xiangjiang citizens. Outstanding Media! "

After Bai Zirui finished speaking, everyone stood up at the same time, raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.Then the atmosphere in the banquet gradually heated up.Apart from the directors of ATV, the chief screenwriter Liang Liren, the deputy general manager Lin Xuefeng, the chief financial officer Xu Jingli and others sat at the main table.

The atmosphere at the wine table was very relaxed. Zhou Liang Shuyi told an interesting story about her competitor, Boss Shao, and said: "Back then when Shao Brothers was filming "Feng Fei Fei", there was a scene in which a martial artist eats raw fried steamed buns. The theater manager signed a purchase order Ask someone to take it to Uncle Shao Liu for approval. It says, 'Buy 100 pan-fried steamed buns, and spend 20 yuan.'

Uncle Shao saw something wrong when he saw the approval note. The steamed buns in the cafeteria of the Shaw Brothers studio only sell for 1 cent (corner) each. How could it cost 20 yuan?So I swiped my pen and wrote 'no approval' and sent it back.

As a result, after all the actors finished their makeup, they waited and waited, but they couldn't wait for the props and steamed buns, so they had to give up and shoot later.The crew was delayed for one day and lost more than 1 yuan in vain.It was later found out that the chef in the cafeteria was temporarily on leave that day and needed to go shopping outside! "

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. Shao Yifu and another real estate tycoon Wang Dehui are two well-known "saving kings" among the rich in Hong Kong.Wang Dehui is a member of the Jockey Club and the owner of several racehorses.

Once, accompanied by a jockey, Wang Dehui went riding a horse at the Pisces River clubhouse. He asked his wife Gong Xinru to cut a pair of old jeans and change them into jodhpurs, which became a big joke in Hong Kong and Kowloon.Boss Wang is willing to spend several 10 yuan to buy and raise horses, but he is reluctant to spend tens of dollars on a pair of breeches.
