History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 392 The Customer Is God
He Dingxian cannot deny that what Bai Liji said is very reasonable, and he knows that while the economy is developing, British capital will have an overall advantage. After all, the police force is just a police force. As the governor, all achievements are attributed to the governor.

If the people's livelihood on Hong Kong Island can be developed, the new immigrants will be very supportive of the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong government can introduce British capital when developing the people's livelihood, and brainwash the Chinese when developing the education field
Bai Liji obviously wants to continue Ge Hongliang's ruling ideology, but it is no longer so radical with a different method of governance.This is very similar to the method used by Bai Liji in Singapore to negotiate as much as possible to delay conflicts.

After seeing through Bai Liji's thoughts, He Dingxian still nodded and said: "yes, sir."

"The police force will fully support the Hong Kong government."

Because developing Hong Kong Island's economy, improving people's livelihood, and boosting industries are the pursuits of all Hong Kong citizens, even if they do things that go against the will of the people, they will not benefit.The police force can manipulate the rivers and lakes and disrupt the situation, but once or twice is fine, but once more, the economy is getting worse and worse, and the brothers below will not agree.

Moreover, He Dingxian is very clear that the Chinese are positioned as chess pieces on Hong Kong Island. Before 97, chess players were never Hong Kong people, but the British and the North.Bai Liji may want to turn Hong Kong Island into the second place in Southeast Asia and make Hong Kong Island an autonomous state of Great Britain in the future. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as the ultimate goal of Great Britain annexing Hong Kong Island.

But it's a pity that what Daying said doesn't count!
The North will not agree.

He Dingxian doesn't need to be unfounded, just let the tall man go to the top. He still controls the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, and the economic affairs are already influential, so he won't be left behind in the process of development.As long as you are still sitting at the poker table, you have the opportunity to win the opponent's chips at any time.

"Thank you, Sir He."

Bai Liji smiled and stretched out his hand with a very confident expression.

He Dingxian shook hands and said, "No need."

Jian Baoning also showed a smile beside him. The good cooperation between the Chinese police force and the Hong Kong government is the most beneficial result for them.

Immediately, Jian Baoning stood up and said, "Sir, it's getting late, let's not bother you for now."

"it is good."

"Walk slowly."

Bai Liji stood up and sent off.

He Dingxian then bowed and left Taiping Mountain together with Jian Baoning.

The next day.

morning.

Bai Liji delivered an inaugural speech at the Governor's Palace, and appointed the Governor's Secretary, Senior Assistant, Affairs Officer and other positions.There is no need to question whether the Hong Kong government will be loyal to the citizens or to the interests of the Federation in the future. It just depends on whether Bai Liji can set a good standard and give a bottom line acceptable to a Chinese.

A month later, Dongfang Film Company, the general manager's office.

Zhu Youzai was wearing a white suit, with a big belly, and put a cup of green tea on the table: "Brother Xian, drink a cup of tea first."

"I'm specially asked to come here. Is there anything uncertain about the company?" He Dingxian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked aloud.Lard Boy smiled all over his face, raised two fingers, and said humbly: "Two things, the first thing is that the brothers from Yiqun overseas have had a lot of conflicts with the people from Haiding Society recently. It has also opened up channels in Southeast Asia and wants to distribute flour in Singapore. The second thing is that there is news in the industry that the Hong Kong government intends to open a cable TV license."

"Brother Xian."

"Doing TV seems to make a lot of money"

He Dingxian looked at the appearance of lard boy's slurping, and said with a chuckle: "Don't be greedy, the TV station license can't fall into your hands."

The opening up of cable television stations is indeed influenced by the new governor's policy.

But it is related to the license. It is a franchise business at first glance. Chinese capital has no competitiveness in front of British capital. In fact, the ownership of the first TV station license has been determined, and it was won by the "Li's Voice" company, and "Li's Voice" It is currently the commercial radio station with the most listeners on Hong Kong Island. It has three channels in Cantonese, Mandarin and English. The parent company is the voice of the Commonwealth.

At present, Li's Voice has registered a subsidiary named "Li's Image", which is dedicated to operating the TV station.

"oops."

"Let the ghost take the lead again." Zhu Youzai slapped his forehead angrily, and said angrily, "What should I do?"

"Brother Xian."

"The money was stolen by the ghost, I feel very sad!"

He Dingxian smiled and said: "You have a good vision, and you only focus on the profiteering industry."

"Hey, the movie companies are making so much money. A company that plays movies for [-] hours must be more profitable." Lard boy said, "And the license is worth a lot of money. Even if it doesn't work well, it can be resold in the future." Make a lot of money."

"What a chicken thief."

He Dingxian lit a cigarette, laughed and scolded: "You can get it if you want it."

"Ghost can't think of it?"

"The license was originally used to cut a fortune. Who doesn't know that the license is important. Although the TV company is different from the film company, there are some things in common. Although, there are not many people in Hong Kong who have the money to install cable TV. But the TV station is an important position of public opinion.”

Television can be regarded as the second revolution in the media industry. Once it appears, it will quickly replace newspapers as a media outlet, just as Internet media will quickly replace media when it appears.

As the first TV station on Hong Kong Island, Lidi TV adopts a charging system and installs cable and cable. Every time a channel is opened, it needs to pay rent. The average person can't afford it. There are only more than 300 users in the first year of operation.

Ten years later, the second TV station on Hong Kong Island and the first free TV station TVB will be approved for a license, officially opening the era of free TV.

Li's was later reorganized as ATV.

It can be said that Li Yingxiang did not make money as imagined. The most valuable thing is indeed the TV license. Ten years later, when the wireless communication technology appeared and the free TV license appeared, it was the time when the TV station really made money.

But that doesn't mean Li's image isn't important.

"Brother Xian."

"Then what should we do, Oriental Pictures can't make Oriental TV?" Lard Boy sighed with a very regretful expression.

Copper plates of Hong Kong Island.

If you don't earn, you lose.

He Dingxian pondered for a while, but shook his head and said: "If you can't get the TV license, you can send someone to talk to Li's senior management, whether you can subcontract one or two channels to us, one is to master the TV voice channel, and the other is to Accumulating experience in TV production, no matter whether it is profit or loss, is beneficial to the competition for the next TV license."

It is impossible for him to let go of the TVB license.

"it is good."

Lard boy showed joy, and promised, "I'll send someone to talk about it right away."

"South Seas."

"Is it a big loss, brothers?"

He Dingxian flicked the cigarette ash and thought about it.

He has always been aware of the conflict between Yiqun and Haiding Club. First of all, the big bosses of the chamber of commerce behind the two clubs are fighting each other. How can the people below remain indifferent?Secondly, Yiqun and Haiding are both Nanyang cheating associations, that is, foreign associations developed in Nanyang.

Neither of them dared to go deep into the basics of local associations. The industries they could join were highly overlapping, and there was naturally a competitive relationship. Therefore, when Haiding Society gained a firm foothold, the conflict with Yiqun became more and more intense.

"is acceptable."

Lard Boy restrained his expression and smoked: "More than 20 brothers died last month, just for the business of the fruit bar. Last year, Xiao Jiangsheng got the management right of two berths in Singapore Port. cover."

"Now the Haiding Society may also be the idea of ​​building a dock."

The Port of Singapore is currently the largest port in the Asia-Pacific region, adjacent to the Strait of Malacca, with a total of more than 40 berths, and the management rights of each berth are worth a thousand dollars, no less than a medium-sized terminal on Hong Kong Island.Although only one ship can be docked at a berth at a time, the berths in the Port of Singapore are never vacant, and there are large cargo ships with tens of thousands of tons coming and going.

Jiang Tianyang's ability to manage the two berths is inseparable from He Dingxian's efforts for Nanyang in Hong Kong Island. However, with Lim Youfu succeeding Ma Shaohua as the chief first minister, the highest Chinese in Singapore Nanyang.

The investment of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has also been rewarded. Dinghai Society has developed extremely rapidly and has reached more than 7000 people, becoming a medium-sized local society.

The limelight is comparable to that of the righteous groups in the early years. Nanyang Chinese regard Dinghai Society as the second largest Chinese community, "Dinghai is Ningbo", and the background of Dinghai Society can be known just by the name.

"You call Tianyang and tell Tianyang that the business will continue as usual. Don't save face for Ding Haishe. Lin Youfu's prestige will not last for a long time. People with the Chinese Front will find some toughness. We also supported the Chinese Front back then."

"Why give it up to a latecomer?"

He Dingxian picked up the teacup, took a sip of his breath, and calmly said: "In addition, I will help Boss Li on the action front. I have already passed my temper with Boss Li. The Yiqun Society is the knife in Boss Li's hand. No matter what Boss Li wants to stab To whom."

"Yiqun is responsible for running it well. In the future, when Boss Li takes over, the benefits will never be less."

Lard boy got the big boss's statement, knowing that Lin Youfu is a thing of the past, Jiang Tianyang can let the brothers free their hands and feet to work, and stop worrying about the face of the labor front.This is undoubtedly another political speculation. The more than 1 brothers from Yiqun Society Nanyang are the bargaining chips. With a stud, they will either enter the coffin or make a lot of money.Jiang Tianyang is capable of running the association, but when making political choices, he is a little uncertain and not bold enough, otherwise he can save some brothers from death.

"understood."

Lard boy said in a low voice.

He Dingxian drank two more cups of tea and chatted for a few days. Lard boy bought a villa in Repulse Bay and lived the life of a small rich man, but he has not married and had children for a long time. He Dingxian suspected that he had hidden secrets. But I was told by Zhu Youzi: "Brother Xian, I only like the feeling of picking a number in the horse stables. I can choose a number every day. Why hold a number plate to death? Life will be very boring."

He Dingxian looked at him in surprise: "Azi, you are so trendy, you think so?"

"Oh, boss, you still have to go to the stable."

But Lard Boy waved his hand: "It would be nice to go there a few more times."

"If everyone is willing to be a good husband, why is the horse stable business so prosperous? Being a man is very tiring, but being a customer is God. Pay-per-use consumption is the most cost-effective."
