After a fierce confrontation in July, Jia Siqi finally raised the purchase price of Li TV to HK$300 million, which was 50% higher than Qiu Degen's purchase price. The only requirement was that they need to sell all their shares.
Of course, the shareholders have no objections, because Li TV has been losing money for many years now, and if it doesn't take action, it will probably fall into its own hands. This time, I thought that only Qiu Degen of the Far East Group would buy it, so it would be difficult to negotiate the price. .
Suddenly Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and he was a wealthy man. After raising the price several times with Qiu Degen, Qiu Degen finally gave up on the acquisition, and Jia Siqi finally acquired all the shares of Li TV.
The employees of Li's TV thought that since the current boss was able to acquire their own company with a lot of money, there would definitely be a big move next. During this period, all the employees became conscientious, fearing that if something went wrong, the new boss would catch him and find someone to do it. The reason was dismissed. The employment situation in Hong Kong at this time was not good.
As a result, more than a month has passed, and it is now mid-August. Still no one from the acquirer has been sent to manage the company. Only a staff member from the acquirer came to tell Li's senior management that everything is still as usual, waiting. Headquarters sent someone over.
This decision left Li's TV executive Mr. Zhang Er scratching his head. He could only continue to work diligently and conscientiously. Some projects that were about to be launched were also suspended until the new boss came over before making any plans.
During this period, some employees felt that the new boss was an unreliable person and was already looking for a way out. Some had already contacted TVB, and those with connections to film companies were also making final plans.
Just when Li's people were panicking, the acquirer finally informed them that the new person in charge would come to receive Li's TV tomorrow and asked them to be prepared. All executives were not allowed to take leave.
The next day, all the company's top executives were waiting at the gate to greet the incoming person in charge. This would determine their next fate, and they had to treat it carefully.
Fortunately, after waiting for only a short time, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly drove into the company's door. All Li's senior executives immediately stepped forward to snatch the right to open the door of the sedan.
Zhao Yi accompanied Lin Hexia when he came to Hong Kong this time. As a Hong Konger, Jia Siqi was also accompanying him. There was also Zhao Yi's secretary. This secretary planned to let Lin Hexia take him with him, otherwise she would be left here alone. , Zhao Yi was a little worried.
Zhao Yi got out of the car first, glanced at the person who opened the door, nodded with a smile, and then helped Lin Hexia out of the car. Jia Siqi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also got out of the car confidently, and then the secretary drove the car to the stop. Position.
Zhao glanced at Li's TV executives who came to greet him. None of them he recognized. In fact, none of this mattered. As long as they cooperated with Lin Hexia to take over, they would not be at risk of being fired for the time being. As for their performance in the future, it would all depend on them. Anyway, as long as Lin Hexia is willing to do this, he has no objection.
Following the senior management into the office building, Zhao Yi asked them to take him and others to inspect the company's office environment to see what the employees' working atmosphere was like. This could be regarded as Li's first impression.
Then she entered the conference room with the company's senior management. First, Jia Siqi introduced the identities of Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia, mainly saying that this was the actual acquirer, and it was impossible to tell them a lot of other information.
Then Zhao Yi appointed Lin Hexia as the chairman of the TV station, fully responsible for the work of the TV station.
After these processes were completed, Zhao Yi said: "I don't know how you did before, and I don't want to know, but from now on, your first priority is to cooperate with Miss Lin to take over the work of the TV station. As long as you cooperate well, you will You can continue to stay in your current position.
As for what happens next, it depends on your own work performance. If you have outstanding work performance, we will not be stingy with salary increases and promotions. If you always complete the work unsatisfactorily, then I'm sorry, we are not a charity, or we will be based on Your actual abilities will be transferred to suitable positions, or you will find another job. "
After saying these words, Zhao Yi continued: "You guys go out first. Miss Lin and I have something to talk about. I will let Miss Lin have a meeting with you alone later."
When everyone left the conference room, Jia Siqi wanted to follow, but Zhao Yi shouted: "Miss Jia, you should also listen here."
After Jia Siqi was ready again, Zhao Yiyi said to Lin Hexia: "We just went around in a circle and found that the employees of the TV station are now unstable. Your first task is to stabilize the people."
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Lin Hexia also nodded and said, "I understand."
After hearing Lin Hexia's response, Zhao Yi continued: "We need a big reform plan for the TV station.
First, we need to add several channels. The first is an all-weather news channel to report news events from various countries around the world. To this end, we need to form a global team of news gathering reporters to try to obtain news information as soon as possible, and to communicate with other countries around the world. Major news organizations cooperate and purchase their news information.
But one thing is that we should not deliberately report negative information on the mainland, and try to adhere to the principle of neutrality. Under special circumstances, we need to be biased towards the country, and we can't sit on our butts. "
In Zhao Yi's view, every country will have good and bad things. You can't just focus on the bad things and give the outside world the impression that this country is full of bad things all day long. What's more, you have to hang around in the country and have a good relationship with the government. It is important not to strain the relationship between yourself and the mainland government because of inappropriate reports by your own TV stations.
"The second is to increase sports channels and cooperate with major sports events parties to strive for live broadcast or broadcast of popular sports events."
"The third step is to add a nostalgic theater to buy the copyrights of once popular TV series, and then broadcast them on this channel according to the plan. I need to buy the copyrights of all broadcast channels, which will be useful to me in the future."
“Fourth, like Article 3, set up a nostalgic movie channel to purchase the copyrights of once popular or valuable movies. The copyright requirements are the same as above.”
"Fifth, it is necessary to strengthen the scale of the TV station's editorial staff and give them the right to create freely. Then the TV station will select suitable ones based on their scripts and then produce TV programs, which is to strengthen the production of its own TV programs."
"Sixth, we plan to start the production of an all-Asian talent show called 'Happy Girls'. We will give them maximum promotion efforts and strive to involve all the people. But we will wait until our TV station becomes a star."
"The above are some of the contents that I can think of so far. You can add content or open new channels according to actual needs." Zhao Yi said.
Both of them nodded to show their understanding.
Then Zhao Yi continued: "I just saw that the TV station's recording and editing equipment is very backward, and the cost of using film is too high. We will replace the equipment and replace all the equipment in the station with digital systems, including the cameras. Before I Polaris Company has been asked to conduct research and development of related equipment, and you can contact Mr. Zhang Ruimin when the time comes."
Lin Hexia was shocked by Zhao Yi's series of large-scale investments. This was just the beginning, and so much money had to be invested. I'm afraid it would be okay to suffer losses in the past few years.
"Also, you should find a place and see if you can build your own office building. In the future, the staff size of the TV station will be several times that of today, and the rent in Hong Kong will become more and more expensive. If you own your own building now, you can save a lot of costs in the future. "Zhao Yi ignored their surprise and continued.
Lin Hexia didn't have any expressions when she heard this, while Jia Siqi next to her felt deeply. As a Hong Konger, in the past ten years, especially in recent years, real estate has obviously become the main industry in Hong Kong, and prices will rise sooner or later.
"Also, Miss Jia will cooperate more with Lin Hexia in the future. Our main customers after launching the satellite will be viewers throughout Asia. There are also communications companies that will develop a satellite TV program receiver. You will also be responsible for sales. This is also very important. Important, it will determine the size of our TV station’s audience base.” Zhao Yi said.
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will take care of it." Jia Siqi responded.
"Then there is the issue of changing the name of the TV station. I don't like the current name. Since the TV audience will be mainly Asian in the future, let's call it Asia TV." Zhao Yi said. In the end, he thought the name Asia TV was good and used it. .
After the meeting, Zhao Yi went back and asked Lin Hexia to stay for a meeting with the TV station executives. His secretary also stayed behind. (End of chapter)
