Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 49 Jiayi TV
"President Li, this way please!"

"Manager Li, please come first!"

Li Wanshui was currently touring the interior of Jiayi TV Station under the introduction of Li Xuelu, manager of the advertising department of Jiayi TV Station.

At this time, although Jiayi TV Station looks very impressive from the outside, as employees within Jiayi, they already feel the danger.

Approval is becoming more and more difficult, and payment is becoming more and more difficult. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a company that was only born three years ago. Instead, it looks like an old company with a history of 30 years.

When a company starts to pay attention to details, it means that the company is not far away from bankruptcy!
Therefore, when Li Wanshan appeared on the TV station, the employees poked their heads out of the office and looked at the new boss. What did he want to do?
"Mr. Li, this is the TV production department of our Jiayi TV station, which can be said to be the number one in Hong Kong..."

"Manager Li, who is this?"

Just as Li Xuelu was explaining to Li Wanshui, a bold and capable woman with short hair appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing the other party, Li Xuelu didn't seem surprised at all and said quickly: "Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is Liang Shuyi, the general manager of our TV station. Mr. Liang, this is Li Wanshui from DreamWorks Company, Mr. Li!" "

"Hello, Manager Liang!" Li Wanshan stretched out his hand politely, but Liang Shuyi did not shake hands with him.

"Manager Li, what are you doing?"

On the contrary, Liang Shuyi kept staring at Li Xuelu.

"Of course I'm taking Mr. Li to visit the TV station!"

"I don't remember you reporting to me. Will you bring people to visit the TV station today?"

"Sorry, it was Lin Sheng who asked me to take Mr. Li here to visit. Didn't he tell you?"

The Lin Sheng mentioned by Li Xuelu refers to Lin Xiufeng, the second eldest son of the Lin family. Although Jiayi TV was founded by He Zuozhi back then, without Lin Xiufeng's capital injection, it would not have lasted more than a year.

Seeing the quarrel between Li Xuelu and Liang Shuyi, Li Wanshui stood aside silently as if he was an unrelated person.

It seemed that the internal struggle at Jiayi TV was more serious than he imagined.

At present, Jiayi TV has six shareholders, namely the Lam family, Jardine Matheson, Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio, and three Chinese newspapers on Hong Kong Island - "Sing Tao Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily" and "Business Daily".

Among them, the He family's Hong Kong Island commercial radio station has the greatest dominance over Jiayi TV. Although the He family has withdrawn from direct control, their commercial radio stations still control Jiayi.

It was with the support of their side that Liang Shuyi was hired from the wireless station.

If everything went smoothly, there would be no problem, but the problem is that half a year has passed and the TV station has spent money like water and organized many activities. However, apart from the fact that the TV station's funds have been squandered, there has been no significant increase in ratings.

Therefore, this naturally aroused dissatisfaction from other shareholders, and even openly attacked Liang Shuyi on the board of directors!
Of course, it seems like this move is a slap in the butt of Liang Shuyi, but in fact it is a slap in the face of Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio!Slapping the He family in the face!
If Li Wanshui wants to take over the TV station, in addition to preparing a large amount of funds, of course he also has to take advantage of their internal conflicts.

The breakthrough point that Li Wanshui is looking for is the Lin family, because Lin Xiufeng's father, Lin Pingyan, is the founder of Hang Seng Bank, and Li Wannian's equity pledge loan was made at Hang Seng Bank!
In other words, the Lin family is the guide for the Li family who wants to take over the TV station.

"You..." Liang Shuyi was suddenly speechless.

After all, she is just a general manager and a wage earner, and she can't take care of the boss's affairs!

However, Liang Shuyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. She is considered to be the first generation of senior TV professionals in Hong Kong. She has made great contributions to the establishment of Infinity Channel.

After the initial shock, she recovered quickly. After taking a deep breath, she said, "In that case, Manager Li, please accompany Mr. Li to visit. I'll leave first if I have something else to do!"

"Don't worry! Mr. Liang, if it's not something important, I just want to talk to Mr. Liang!"

Seeing that Liang Shuyi was about to leave, Li Wanshui no longer acted as an outsider and took the initiative to call out Liang Shuyi. "Mr. Li, what's your advice?"

Liang Shuyi was a little confused.

"Are you talking here?"

"Mr. Li, please come this way!"

Three minutes later, the three of them arrived at the general manager's office. Liang Shuyi asked the secretary to bring three cups of coffee.

"Now, can Mr. Li say it?"

Li Wanshui was not in a hurry, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Blue Mountain Coffee? I didn't expect Mr. Liang to have this thing. I drank it once in the United States! Speaking of which, we are still in the same school. You But she’s my senior sister!”

Liang Shuyi also graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and Li Wanshui had obviously investigated it before.

"Mr. Li came to my office just to drink coffee and catch up on old times, right?"

Liang Shuyi still didn't answer Li Wanshui's words, looking a little out of touch.

"I don't know, Mr. Liang, what's his opinion on Jiayi's current problems?" Seeing this, Li Wanshui stopped talking in circles with him, stopped trying to have a relationship with him, put down the coffee in his hand and asked seriously.

"Does it matter whether it is or not? Is Mr. Li just entertaining me?"

"I'm not that bored! I'm just curious. You said Jiayi's TV series was good. Why did it come to this?"

Li Wanshui's question made Li Xuelu on the side a little nervous. He looked at Liang Shuyi hurriedly, fearing that she would say something alarming and scare away Li Wanshui, the successor.

"Of course it's the government-mandated education time!"

The educational time mentioned by Liang Shuyi is because one of the conditions for Jiayi TV's licensing was that Jiayi needed to use part of its time to broadcast educational programs.

因此，佳视每天14时至18时以及21时至23时30分，都必须做电视教学用。

Li Xuelu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Liang Shuyi say this. This is something everyone knows and there is no need to hide it.

"Is that all? Is there no other reason besides that?"

Li Wanshui was not satisfied with this reason, but continued to inquire into the details.

"My personal abilities are limited, and the ratings of the TV series I produced did not meet expectations!"

Liang Shuyi looked a little ugly.

"How could it be? Mr. Liang, you are the most powerful TV personality in Hong Kong. If even you say your ability is limited, then who in Hong Kong can say that you are capable enough?"

"Then what is Mr. Li's opinion?"

"I originally thought there was a problem with your TV station's cost control, but yesterday my brother reminded me that program creation is different from ordinary business. There is too much uncertainty. Cost issues have never been the core issue!"

"Your brother? I know he's the famous cartoonist! What's his opinion?"

"He told me that your biggest problem is that you don't have a real core audience!"
