Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire - Chapter 647
…
“Thank you, Mr. Murdoch, I owe you a favor for this matter. I will try my best to help Star Media’s entry into mainland China…”
After Xu Cun hung up Murdoch’s call, Meng Guangmei, who had been waiting for a while, stepped forward and said, “Shao Yifu, Jin Yong, Zhao Shuhui, and Ma Chengkun are all here. Brother Cun, do you want to see each other together or separately? “
Looking at his watch, it was already past eleven o’clock in the middle of the night, Xu Cun said, “One piece.”
Not long after, Xu Cun came to the reception room and saw Shao Yifu, Jin Yong, Zhao Shuhui, and Ma Chengkun.
Xu Cunxian greeted Shao Yifu apologetically: “I’m sorry, Uncle Six, it’s so late, and I’ve invited you here!”
Shao Yifu waved his hand and said with a smile: “It’s okay, people are old and young, it’s not bad for a while.”
Chong Shao Yifu nodded, Xu Cun said again: “Sixth uncle, we are our own family, so we will talk about our affairs later, I will chat with Mr. Zha, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Ma first.”
Shao Yifu said with a smile: “Okay, no, I will live in your Shi’ao tonight.”
After speaking, Shao Yifu slowly stood up, and then walked slowly to the window to see the night view of Shek Ao.
Seeing Shao Yifu’s attitude like this, Xu Cun felt relieved!
This time, if the only two TV stations in Xiangjiang speak to the mainland, then it will be of great benefit to the mainland!
In Phoenix Channel, Xu Cun owns 100% of the shares. Naturally, Xu Cun can report whatever he wants!
TVB, Xu Cun is only the second largest shareholder. Although Shao Yifu does not have absolute control, the shareholders of TVB other than Xu Cun are almost all Shao Yifu’s close friends. In addition, TVB has been operated by Shao Yifu for many years. If Shao Yifu is determined Going against Xu Cun would cause Xu Cun a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is that there is no such possibility that Shao Yifu is determined to oppose Xu Cun – you must know that one of the enemies of the mainland this time is the UK and pro-British people, and Shao Yifu is a British knight after all. Cun with his heels can think of it, there must have been pro-British people or even British people who have approached Shao Yifu.
Therefore, Xu Cun invited Shao Yifu over to avoid a major enemy.
Seeing Shao Yifu’s positive attitude now, how could Xu Cun not understand that Shao Yifu should choose to be on his side this time?
Glancing at Shao Yifu’s back, Xu Cun retracted his gaze, then looked at Jin Yong, Zhao Shuhui, and Ma Chengkun, and said, “Mr. , I won’t go around the corners, I want to ask the three of you to sell me a face and temporarily stop reporting on the mainland.”
After twelve years of operation, Xu Cun can definitely be said to be one of the most important figures in Xiangjiang – this is why, even though it is so late, Xu Cun invited Jin Yong, Zhao Shuhui, and Ma Chengkun to come in person.
but–
The literati are still a bit strong–although Xu Cun is so powerful that they don’t want to offend them, but Jin Yong still bite the bullet and said: “The responsibility of the media is to let the public know…”
Xu Cun raised his hand to stop Jin Yong, who was about to preach, and said, “I’m not talking to you about right or wrong, I’m just asking you for favors. Would you sell this favor to me, Xu Cun?”
“This……”
Jin Yong, Zhao Shuhui, and Ma Chengkun were collectively silent.
After a while, Zhao Shuhui persuaded: “Mr. Xu, you are already a native of Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang is a place that advocates freedom…”
Xu Cun said lightly, “I’ll say it again for the last time. I’m not talking about right or wrong, and what you want to report is not necessarily right. I only ask you for favors. Do you want to sell this favor to me, Xu Cun?”
Zhao Shuhui is only less than ten years older than Ma Chengkun, and he can barely be regarded as a character among the younger generation of Xiangjiang, so it is inevitable that he is a bit arrogant – seeing Xu Cun so aggressive, Zhao Shuhui couldn’t help saying: “Mr. Xu , you must be too overbearing, the responsibility of the media is to report the truth, Xiangjiang is not an uncivilized continent, it is a free land…”
“Five hundred million.” Xu Cun interrupted Zhao Shuhui lightly.
“Uh……”
Zhao Shuhui said in amazement, “What 500 million?”
Xu Cun said: “I bought “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” for 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
“Overseas Chinese Daily” is the longest-running newspaper in Heung Kong (its history can be traced back to “Hong Kong Ship Price Paper”, which was founded in 1857, and it was not completely closed until 2008).
After World War II, “Overseas Chinese Daily”, “Commercial Daily” and “Sing Tao Daily” became the most important newspapers in Hong Kong at that time. Because it often publishes news about the activities of middle schools and universities, “Overseas Chinese Daily” has many readers from the cultural and educational circles of Hong Kong.
Later, due to poor management, “Overseas Chinese Daily” was replaced by “Ming Pao” and “Sing Tao Daily”.
At present, “Overseas Chinese Daily” also has more than 100,000 loyal readers and is one of the twelve major newspapers in Hong Kong. In addition, its sister newspaper “Daily Express” also has a great influence in Sabah, Malaysia.
but–
Even so, “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” are still incomparable with “Sing Tao Daily”, “Oriental Daily” and “Ming Pao”, so “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” are naturally not worthwhile. 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, when Xu Cun said that he was going to use 500 million to buy “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express”, Zhao Shuhui felt like he was pinched by the neck!
Although his ability is average, Zhao Shuhui is an old fried dough stick who has been rolling around in shopping malls for many years. How could he not understand that Xu Cun paid a high price for “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” because he wanted to solve these problems. ?
In the last life, two years later, in 1991, “Overseas Chinese Daily” was acquired by Murdoch, which shows that Zhao Shuhui did not have much affection for “Overseas Chinese Daily”.
So, blushing and thinking for a while, Zhao Shuhui gritted his teeth and said, “600 million, as long as you are willing to pay 600 million, Mr. Xu, I will sell the “Overseas Chinese Daily” to you!”
Xu Cun didn’t even look at the greedy Zhao Shuhui, he turned his head and said to Guang Mei: “Xiao Mei, go and help me ask Ye Mingwei, who is controlled by the Ye family and his son, and tell him that I intend to buy the Overseas Chinese Daily and the “Overseas Chinese Daily” at a high price. The Daily Express or his Yeh and his sons, let him fly over and talk to me now.” ——Although both “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” are managed by Zhao Shuhui, Zhao Shuguan also accounts for the two However, in fact, the largest shareholders of the two newspapers, Huaqiao Daily and Daily Express, are Malaysia’s Yip & Sons Holdings Limited. If Xu Cun acquired the shares of “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” controlled by Ye’s father and son, there would be no need to acquire the “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” shares held by Zhao Shuhui. At that time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhao Shuhui will not only lose an opportunity to make a fortune, but also lose the management rights of “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express”. In that case, Zhao Shuhui would be tragic!
Wanting to understand this, Zhao Shuhui hurriedly said: “Mr. Xu, I will sell it, I will sell it, and I will sell it for 500 million!”
Xu Cun glanced at Zhao Shuhui and said lightly, “Can you be Ye Mingwei’s master?”
Zhao Shuhui no longer cared about the literati’s face, and quickly explained: “Mr. Ye has long intended to sell the “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express”, Mr. Xu, you have bought “Overseas Chinese Daily” and “Daily Express” again. Your sincerity, and if I broker from the middle, this deal will definitely be done!” Afraid that Xu Cun would go back and talk to Ye Mingwei directly, Zhao Shuhui immediately added: “Don’t worry, Mr. Xu, during the transaction process, “Overseas Chinese Daily” and The Daily Express will never report on the mainland again!”
At this moment, Weng Hong came to Xu Cun’s side, and whispered a few words in Xu Cun’s ear.
After listening to Weng Hong’s whisper, Xu Cun looked at Jin Yong and said, “Congratulations, Mr. Slag, from now on, I will replace Mr. Shen Baoxin as your new partner.”
