Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1474 1473 [All eyes are on! 】

In the past few years, Shi Zhijian has been practicing brush calligraphy in his spare time, especially in imitating Liu Gongquan. Although he is still at the level of those masters, he has made some achievements. However, Shi Zhijian knew very well that this kind of thing can't be done too much, and his own words are worthless if he does too much. In addition, he is too busy and doesn't have so much time to mention words for others.

In short, rare things are expensive!

After Shi Zhijian finished inscribing, the shrewd Deng Bolun came up to praise Shi Zhijian's calligraphy, which was painted with iron and silver hooks. He also sincerely invited Shi Zhijian to write an inscription for their sculpture association, saying that his previous inscription was too rubbish.

Shi Zhijian was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he wrote another one for him as long as he didn't have to worry about it.

At this time, those who were belatedly realized that Shi Zhijian's handwriting would not be given away easily, and immediately came forward to ask for inscriptions. Shi Zhijian was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to write two or three more inscriptions, and then threw away his pen and said that the event was about to start. start, can no longer write.

At this time, those who got the words were happy, while those who didn't get the words beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they were too slow. Only that Deng Bolun looked smug.

The Bruce Lee sculpture was unveiled, and the foundation stone laying ceremony of the memorial hall officially began.

According to the tradition, at this time, there must be a big person to speak on stage. Many people thought that Shi Zhijian would speak in person, but it turned out that it was Shao Yifu Shao Daheng who took the stage!

Everyone in the audience couldn't help being a little stunned.

You must know that not long ago, as a film tycoon and entertainment tycoon, Yifu Shao severely criticized Shi Zhijian on behalf of Hong Kong films, criticizing him for the excessive expansion of mythology entertainment, which made many film companies unable to eat and so on.

It can be said that there was a lot of trouble.

But now no one thought that Shi Zhijian would give up such a good thing to show off to Shao Yifu.

Not to mention the audience below, even Shao Yifu himself did not expect Shi Zhijian to entrust such a good thing to himself last night.

At this time Shao Daheng talked eloquently on stage, from the history of Hong Kong movies, to Bruce Lee, to Hong Kong movies entering Hollywood, and then to the current status of Hong Kong movies, especially the influence of Hong Kong TV programs on movies and so on.

It has to be said that Shao Daheng is definitely an expert in this area, and almost every sentence hits the root, making people nod frequently.

At this time, the people in the audience could hear clearly, and the expressions on their faces were thought-provoking.

This person is none other than He Zuozhi, the major shareholder of Hong Kong Jiayi TV Station and the founder!

…

He Zuozhi, whose ancestral home is Bao'an, Guangdong, was born in the United States in 1918. The illegitimate son of Ho Tung, a famous Hong Kong gentleman merchant. After studying at King's College in Hong Kong, he went to the United States and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. After returning to Hong Kong, he worked as a staff member in Sang Kee Property Management Company under Ho Tung's management. Soon, he was transferred to Ruitai Trading Co., Ltd. as a manager. Later, he established a joint venture with a wealthy businessman from Shanghai to set up Zode Company to act as an agent of foreign wine, cameras, and household appliances, and the business is booming. He also lobbied Sir Luo Bao, a businessman in Macau, to co-operate with Macau Green Village Radio Station.

In 1959, the Hong Kong government announced to invite bids to host a commercial radio station. He asked members of the Executive Council Luo Wenhui and Deng Zhaojian to be directors, bid for the undertaking, and developed rapidly.

In 1975, entered the television industry and established Jiayi TV Station, preparing to flex its muscles in the field of television.

There are currently three TV stations in Hong Kong. They are Lai's TV, the oldest TV station, and TVB, which was founded by Shao Daheng, Lishi and others in 1967.

As for Jiayi Television, which has just launched, it was founded and launched by He Zuozhi at 6 pm on September 7 this year. The opening ceremony was simple, with only simple speeches by general manager He Zuozhi, program manager Sun Yubiao, and news manager Pan Chaoyan, and then the whole night program started.

The highlight of the night was the song and dance show "Beautiful Art". The show lasted for an hour, and the performers included Xu Guanjie, Zeng Jiang, and Weng Qianyu, who became popular in Dongying. Weng Qianyu's performance alone took up 45 minutes. The dancers were all from Dongying, and the choreographer and assistant director in charge of Weng Qianyu's performance also came from Dongying.

He Zuozhi did the planning of the show himself. For the show, he went to Dongying 4 times.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, especially in a small place like Hong Kong, where there are three TV stations, and the competition is so fierce that it is unimaginable.

It has only been two or three months since the show started, and He Zuozhi couldn't bear it anymore. The reason is that one of the licensing conditions of Jiayi TV at the beginning required Jiayi to use part of its time for broadcasting educational programs, which made Jiayi unable to do so in the past few months. Failed to achieve balance of payments.

In the last life, He Zuozhi, who founded Jiayi, didn’t take these things to heart at first. He considered it all because of the benefits of advertising. He believed that as long as Jiayi can produce good TV dramas, it will be able to recruit advertisers, and then it will be able to be in the TV series. Big bucks on advertising.

For this reason, Jiayi spared no effort to shoot the first Jin Yong TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Michelle's version, which became a sensation in Hong Kong, and then Jiayi successively filmed "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "Jade Blood Sword", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" And so on, these TV dramas made Mi Xue, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin, Li Tongming, Zheng Yuling, Yang Panpan, Hong Kong sister Zhang Mary, Qin Huang and others popular in one fell swoop. It's a pity that after three years, Jiayi completely closed down because of too much profit and loss!

Jiayi can be said to be a fleeting meteor, very beautiful and bright, but it is a pity that it is short-lived. So lost among the mortals! It's amazing!

At this time, He Zuozhi listened to Shao Daheng's vision and plan for TVB TV on the stage, and compared it with Jiayi TV, which had been losing money for two months in a row, and couldn't help feeling extremely complicated!

He can still survive the losses of these two months. The question is what will happen in the future? He was also a radio station person, and he was very sensitive to the profit and loss in this area. At this time, He Zuozhi had already smelled the bad side of Jiayi, and his heart began to waver.

Not far away, there was a man in white who had been sizing him up carefully, with a half-smile expression on his face, as if he was calculating something. That man was none other than Shi Zhijian.

But the reason why Shi Zhijian took the initiative to invite Shao Daheng to give a speech this morning last night was to stimulate this big brother He Zuozhi!

No comparison, no harm!

Also doing something, Shao Daheng got the license easily, without any constraints.

He Zuozhi was too impatient and signed some unequal treaties with the government, especially promising to play educational content every day at ten o'clock in the morning and eight or nine o'clock in the evening!

In terms of preaching, ghosts like to read it!

It's no wonder that such a TV station doesn't collapse!

In addition, as a person who has been there, Shi Zhijian also knows very clearly that the big brother He Zuozhi in front of him has only persisted in Jiayi for at most a year after he founded Jiayi, and then he sold all his shares and ran away!

As for those who bought his shares, they became taken advantage of, and accompanied Jiayi to lose money from the beginning to the end!

But now Shi Zhijian is going to take the initiative to take advantage of this, because he is going to buy Jiayi! …

Li TV has a great influence in Hong Kong, but most of the shareholders are ghosts. It was not until later that the profits were not good, and some ghost shareholders quit, and then it was cheaper to the Chinese, so that Qiu Dehe bought it and changed its name to "ATV".

Now Li's is the most profitable TV station in Hong Kong. If you want to buy him, you need those greedy ghosts to nod and agree.

As for TVB, let alone, this TV station was jointly established by Shao Daheng and Hong Kong Lijia. But later, in order to fight Shi Zhijian, Li Zhaotian diluted some of Li's shares, making Shao Daheng the dominant player, and now he is the well-deserved king of TVB. It is even more difficult for Shi Zhijian to acquire TVB.

So there is no choice now, Shi Zhijian wants to follow the gourd, and confront Zheng Yutong in the jewelry industry in Hong Kong, relying on public opinion wars and advertising wars to win each other, so he must control a TV station that has the final say. Undoubtedly, Jiayi is the only choice!

You must know that advertising campaigns and public opinion wars are both very expensive businesses. In the last life, the publicity fee of many film companies’ films was ten times higher than the cost of the entire film. One can imagine how much it is to manipulate the media to manipulate public opinion. make money.

Conversely, if you don’t have a newspaper that belongs to you, supported by a TV station, and spend real money and people trembling on public opinion advertisements, it won’t take long for you to run out of ammunition and food!

Shi Zhijian took a very long-term view, and his calculations were also very long-term. Zheng Yutong used his relationship with Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao to compress his cash flow.

Then Shi Zhijian comes and does not reciprocate, and uses TV and newspaper advertisements to prepare to consume Zheng's group's funds!

At that time, Shi Zhijian will have "Oriental Daily" and Jiayi TV behind him, and he will be able to advertise for himself without spending a penny. On the contrary, Zheng Yutong will have to spend a lot of money——

While Shi Zhijian was meditating, Shao Daheng finished his speech on stage and won warm applause.

Shi Zhijian glanced at He Zuozhi, and saw that the other party had a serious expression, and applauded lightly.

Shi Zhijian winked at Hu Juncai, and was about to let Hu Juncai contact him instead, but he heard Shao Daheng calling him on the stage, asking Shi Zhijian to come on stage with him to unveil the statue of Bruce Lee.

Helpless, Shi Zhijian had no choice but to tell Hu Juncai to go to work first, while he stepped onto the stage.

Shao Daheng is still excited until now, with so many people, so many speeches by himself, and such warm applause, it seems that he is still young!

Shao Daheng was happy in his heart, and felt even more ashamed of Shi Zhijian, thinking that he was too small but Shi Zhijian was generous enough, but he didn't know that he was used as a gunman just now, and Shi Zhijian used him to stimulate He Zuozhi severely.

The more proud Shao Daheng talked about TVB, the more serious Ho Zuozhi's expression became.

As for the unveiling of the statue by Shi Zhijian and Shao Daheng on the stage, it has already been arranged. Don't say that Shi Zhijian initiated the memorial hall this time. As a friend of Bruce Lee during his lifetime, Shi Zhijian is fully qualified.

In addition to Shi Zhijian, Mrs. Linda, the widow of Bruce Lee, was also qualified to be on the stage to unveil the statue.

In this way, under the attention of all the people, Shi Zhijian and the three removed the red cloth together, revealing the classic statue of Bruce Lee!

"I saw!"

"It's really Bruce Lee!"

"Bruce Lee is back!"

Countless dragon fans shouted excitedly when they saw this scene. For them, their longing for Bruce Lee has turned into tears. Now seeing such a lifelike statue, they feel that their idol has been revived again, screaming "Ada", and flying to beat the Japanese devils!

Crackling!

The media reporters at the scene patted Shi Zhijian and the others frantically at the statue.

Seeing this scene, many people at the scene said that in the future, this statue and this memorial hall will definitely become the landmark buildings of Hong Kong!

…

"Mr. He Zuozhi, hello! My name is 'Hu Juncai'! You are a talented Hu, a talented man!" Hu Juncai walked up to He Zuozhi, and politely took out a bronzing business card from his arms and handed it to him. past.

He Zuozhi was seriously watching the unveiling ceremony of the statue of Bruce Lee on the stage, when he suddenly heard someone calling himself by his side, he quickly turned his head to look, and then saw a very obscene looking man with his hair parted in the middle and his front teeth bared.

"Who are you--"

"Hu Juncai!" Hu Juncai had no choice but to introduce himself again, and pushed forward the business card he handed out.

He Zuozhi casually took the business card, glanced at it, and frowned: "Are you in the vegetable business?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I took the wrong one!" Hu Juncai hurriedly took back the business card just now, and took out a brand new business card from his arms and handed it over.

He Zuozhi took it again suspiciously, and glanced at it this time, the disdain and contempt on his face disappeared immediately, "Are you the chief lawyer of Shinhwa Group?" His tone was full of surprise.

"That's right, it's my humble servant!" Hu Juncai felt complacent, and then had to admit Shi Zhijian's foresight.

Just like what Shi Zhijian said to him, "No matter how good you are at selling vegetables, you are still just a vegetable seller! Those wealthy families will never give you a second glance! Conversely, if you become a jewelry tycoon, give it a try, and you will be rewarded." How many people dare to despise you?"

Yes, so what if you earn more from selling vegetables? Didn't He Zuozhi look contemptuous just now? It's as if I'm a dog who can't be on the table! After changing a business card and saying that he is a barrister of the Shinhwa Group, the other party immediately changed his expression and looked very enthusiastic.

"I don't know why Lawyer Hu is looking for me?" He Zuozhi looked at Hu Juncai in front of him~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Before, he thought that the other party was grinning and grinning, but now he looks very personable—everyone under the Shinhwa Group is an elite ah!

"It's like this, our boss, Mr. Shi Zhijian from Shinhwa Group, wants to invite you to talk..."

"Mr. Shi is looking for me? Talk to me?" He Zuozhi was taken aback, "I don't seem to know him well—what are you talking about?"

"Of course it's about business!" Hu Juncai said with a smile, "To be specific, we, Mr. Shi, want to buy the TV station that you newly established!"

"He wants to buy Jiayi?" He Zuozhi was startled, and his voice became louder involuntarily.

People around him stared at him.

He Zuozhi knew that he was impolite, so he coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then said softly to Hu Juncai: "To be honest, you have too much information, I don't understand it!"

"It's right if you don't understand!" Hu Juncai chuckled, "You will know when you see Mr. Shi later!"
