Li Chengzhi heard that Li Zetian had come to Hong Kong, and rushed back home that night.
In the evening, the two of them chatted for a long time in the study, basically talking about things related to the Sino-British negotiation. As expected by Li Zetian, the Chinese side has the upper hand in the negotiations.
Li Chengzhi said with a smile: "The British government first proposed the exchange of sovereignty, that is, it recognized that the sovereignty of Hong Kong belongs to China, but the right to govern Hong Kong belongs to the United Kingdom. However, Mr. Deng strongly opposed it. On September 10, Mr. Deng met with Mr. Deng. British high-ranking official Heath reiterated: 'It is not feasible for the UK to exchange sovereignty for governance!!!'
The British side's pursuit of governance was unworkable, so it took the second place and wanted Sino-British co-administration. China is also firmly opposed to this article.
The British did not go well in the negotiation, so they made some tricks. For example, the devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar this time was done by the British, which was equivalent to a threat, but this did not scare the Chinese side. The Chinese side is very determined to take back Hong Kong! ! ! "
"Haha, Mrs Thatcher's encounter with the tough old Deng is also a no-brainer!" Li Zetian smiled and said, "Dad, you must have been very busy recently. Go and rest early."
Li Chengzhi's dark circles were heavy, his face was pale, and he obviously didn't rest well.
"Well, then I'll go to sleep first, I'm really sleepy now!" After speaking, Li Chengzhi yawned, got up from the chair, and left the study.
Li Zetian then came to the hall, watching TV with his mother, Zhou Qiqi and Dongfang Yuqin.
There were two main TV stations in Hong Kong at this time: TVB and ATV.
TVB was established by Hong Kong entertainment giant Run Run Shaw, and it almost dominates Hong Kong TV stations. Asia TV competes with it, and it is basically crushed, and it loses money every year.
The predecessor of Asia Television was "Li's Television", which was renamed as Asia Television in 1982.
"Dongfang Yuqin, please contact Qiu Degen, chairman of Asia Television, and say that I will invite him to lunch tomorrow at noon."
"Okay." Dongfang Yuqin nodded, took out Motorola's mobile phone, and gave orders to the people in Hong Kong.
Zhou Qiqi said excitedly at this time: "Brother Zetian, are you going to buy a TV station, then can I be a star!"
"What a star, this circle is too chaotic, you are a little girl, you don't know what will become after you enter!" Li Zetian shook his head and refused.
"Oh, since Brother Zetian doesn't like it, then I'm not right! By the way, Brother Zetian, TVB is the biggest TV station in Hong Kong. Why don't you buy TVB?"
"Run Run Shaw will definitely not let the TV station fall into the hands of others. Naturally, he will not accept my acquisition request." Li Zetian explained with a smile. Bring the itinerary.
Li Zetian took the itinerary, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "Well, it seems that there are so many things to do tomorrow!"
Everyone went to bed early that night.
The next day, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went out immediately after having breakfast.
At around 9 am, the two came to Hutchison Whampoa. After a night of thinking, several shareholders expressed their desire to sell their shares.
After Li Zetian bought their shares, his shareholding amount exceeded 51%, reaching absolute control.
"Dongfang Yuqin, let everyone come to the conference room for a meeting."
"Yes!"
After a while, executives above the company's manager level gathered in the conference room.
"As the saying goes, there are business opportunities hidden in the crisis. The Hong Kong stock market has plummeted, not only Hutchison Whampoa has been hit hard, but other real estate companies as well. Now is the best time for us to annex other companies! Such as Hong Kong Electric Company, China Land and other companies …”
As soon as Li Zetian's voice fell, in the conference room, everyone looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't help making a noise, and they were particularly surprised by Li Zetian's decision.
"How can Hutchison Whampoa have so much money to buy the Hong Kong Electric Group?"
"Yeah, even the acquisition of China Land is very reluctant!"
"… "
Li Zetian gave Dongfang Yuqin a color at this time, Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, Mr. Li has decided to spend 1 billion US dollars to increase the capital of Hutchison Whampoa, which will allow you to acquire money. Another company!"
Li Zetian stood up at this time and said, "The funds will be credited soon, you should act immediately, first acquire China Land and Hong Kong Electric Company!"
"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.
"That's it, the meeting is over!" Li Zetian finished and left the conference room.
At 12 noon, Li Zetian had lunch with Qiu Degen at the Peninsula Hotel.
Qiu Degen started from scratch and is very powerful. He established the Far East Group, which involved a lot of industries. Banks, real estate, securities, tourism, food, flour, hotels, warehouses, theaters, and newspapers all have his investments in Indonesia, the United States, Canada has all the businesses he founded, and the business is booming. In 1982, he bought a 50% stake in this TV station, changed its name to "Asia TV", reorganized the organization, and served as the chairman of the board of directors. Qiu Degen knows that in order to develop a TV station, it is necessary to have funds, talents, and a good script. He invited Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming from the film and television industry to serve as the director and program manager respectively, responsible for the production business of "ATV".
"Mr. Li, you asked me to meet, I don't know what to talk about?" Qiu Degen asked.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, "Then I will say straight to the point. To be honest, I want to become a shareholder in ATV and develop ATV together with you."
Qiu Degen frowned immediately, Li Zetian was rich and rich, far from being comparable to him, worried that he would be "eaten".
"Mr. Qiu, I know what you have concerns, but please rest assured, your concerns are completely unnecessary. I invested in Asia Television just to promote the development of Hong Kong film and television. Not to mention that Asia Television is still losing money, even if it can make money. Now, do you think I would care about this income? So, you don't have to worry, after I take a stake in ATV, I will drive you away, because it is completely unnecessary."
Li Zetian smiled inwardly, thinking: "I don't need me to drive you away, and you will leave ATV voluntarily. In 1988, the case of 'Far East Bank's fraudulent accounts' broke out, and Qiu was investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and stopped participating in the investigation of ATV. management, and then sold all the shares and completely withdrew from ATV!”
Qiu Degen thought about it carefully. The addition of Li Zetian can not only bring abundant funds to Asia Television, but also many cooperation resources, such as News Network, Violet Records, Disney and so on.
"Mr. Li, how many shares do you plan to hold in Asia Television?"
"50%." Li Zetian smiled, "Of course, if you can continue to invest, Asia Television will be jointly controlled by the two of us, each holding 50%!"
Hearing this, Qiu Degen lowered his head, fell silent for a while, came over for a while, and said, "Mr. Li, you are very welcome to become a shareholder in ATV. With your participation, ATV will definitely be able to compete with TVB!"
"Hehe, I hope so!"
After lunch, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went to Asia Television with Qiu Degen. At the same time, Qiu Degen called the other shareholders of ATV to the company.
When Li Zetian walked into the building of Asia Television, he immediately caused a sensation.
"Look over there, who is that? Chronos Li, the richest man in the world, oh my God, how did he come to our company?"
"Wow, really, my male god is here!" A nympho girl immediately lost her eyes.
"… "
Qiu Degen jokingly said, "Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be so liked by female employees of our company!"
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome..."
