The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

"Shame!"

In the office of the deputy general manager of Li's TV station, Bill Clifford looked at the newspaper in his hand and spoke angrily.

He knew that after this incident, English newspapers would no longer have the prestige in Xiangjiang!

Before that, Hong Kong's English newspapers were superior. In places with Chinese people, it is a kind of pride to publish newspapers in English.

But now the situation has changed. Although these newspapers did not publish a specific apology to whom, everyone knew that they were apologizing to Chu Huan!

It's fine to apologize, after all, everyone knows that you are almost bankrupted by Chu Huan, but you don't only publish the content of the apology in your own newspaper.

He even apologized to Chu Huan in Chinese in the English newspaper.

This time it really made all the ghosts in Xiangjiang feel ashamed. It is conceivable that even if these newspapers have survived this difficulty this time, it is a challenge to regain their ghost readers. It's been a very long time.

Bill Clifford is very proud of being a ghost working in Xiangjiang, especially when he misses the feeling of the 1960s.

At that time, Bill Clifford had just come to Xiangjiang to work, and the ghosts had a lot of privileges in Xiangjiang, but now such privileges are getting less and less, and now they have witnessed Chu Huan's behavior that can make them lose face .

"These people should be banned from England forever!"

When Bill Clifford thought about walking on the street in the future, when those Chinese looked at him, he couldn't help expressing his contempt to those who bowed their heads to Chu Huan.

"Manager, when Chu Huan went to his hometown to report, Xiangjiang's Chinese newspapers and English newspapers have been hit by Chu Huan. Now I am worried that the other party will start to focus on us?"

In Bill Clifford's office, there are not only Bill Clifford, but also his assistant Chen Yongkang.

That's right, he is from Xiangjiang, but Chen Yongkang thinks he is holding a British passport!

Bill Clifford casually threw the newspaper in his hand into the trash can beside him, and said disdainfully, "How does Chu Huan want to deal with us? How can he deal with us?"

Chen Yongkang thought for a while and said, "Chu Huan is the largest shareholder of TVB, so TVB can make some programs to compete with us and grab our ratings!"

In later generations, TVB has become a TV station in Xiangjiang that does not think about making progress and has no new ideas.

But that is in later generations, and it is also because at that time TVB itself had no competitors in Hong Kong. As the only free TV station in Hong Kong, TVB monopolized the TV industry in Hong Kong. Citizens in Xiangjiang had to watch whatever they filmed.

The idea of ​​not thinking about making progress was naturally implanted in the bones of TVB's production team.

But it is different now. Although TVB is still the king among the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, there is competition after all, and Li TV can occasionally produce some high-quality TV series, so TVB must take it seriously.

And excellent high-quality TV dramas are the link that both sides must compete for.

The most important thing is that for TV stations, the ratings mean income, and only by maintaining a super high ratings can they get more advertising fees.

"TVB has black and white images behind it, the support of the two major film studios of the Shaw Brothers, and a steady stream of artists participating in TVB's programs. For us, the next time may be an uphill battle!"

Chen Yongkang kindly reminded.

Bill Clifford said with a smile on his face: "You are wrong, this is not a tough battle for us, but for Huang Xizhao and others, it is a tough battle!"

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be competition!

Li's TV station, the Chinese gang, and the Guilao gang are already inextricably fighting each other, but with Huang Xizhao becoming the general manager of Li's TV, the overall situation, the Chinese gang still has an advantage in Li's TV.

Bill Clifford, who failed to compete with Huang Xizhao for the general manager of Li TV, actually never thought that Huang Xizhao was better than himself.

In his opinion, the reason why Huang Xizhao was able to become the general manager of Li's TV Station was nothing more than Li's voice behind them thinking that Li's TV, as a TV station in Xiangjiang, should pay more attention to the preferences of the Chinese people in Xiangjiang.

It's just that this kind of thinking, in Bill Clifford's view, is just a joke.

For so many years, Li's TV had their Englishman as the general manager, and it didn't mean that they had achieved the No. 1 rating in Xiangjiang.

On the contrary, in the past few years, as Li's TV has become more and more concerned about what the Chinese in Hong Kong want to watch, and even hired a Chinese to be the general manager, the result is that the ratings of Li's TV are still going from bad to worse, and they have been suppressed by TVB. with.

"To bring Li's TV back to its former glory, it will take some labor pains. After the labor pains, there will be real reform. At that time, I will bring Li's TV back to glory!"

Bill Clifford continued to preach with pride.

Chen Yongkang also understood what Bill Clifford meant. What he wanted was the current situation, because only in this way would there be major problems with Li's TV under Huang Xizhao's management, and at that time, as Li's TV Huang Xizhao, the general manager, is naturally responsible for this matter.

It was also at that time that Bill Clifford could reap his harvest. As the deputy general manager of Li TV, he was the most likely to take the position of general manager.

"It's still the general manager who is far-sighted!"

After Chen Yongkang understood Bill Clifford's thoughts, he sincerely praised him.

Bill Clifford smiled easily.

As for what would happen to Li's TV at that time if their idea came true in the end, the two of them didn't think about it at all. The most important thing was to sit in this position first.

.

"So there is only one day left that the newspaper is still insisting on?"

On the top floor of China Building, in Chu Huan's office.

This afternoon, Chu Huan began to take Wu Shuhan, Xu Yi, Liang Risi and others to summarize the actions of the past few days.

Xu Yi said: "Yes, the other party has not made any moves."

Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "Tell Liu Zhiyuan and the others, since Yi Yiye's waist is so hard, then let me sink them directly!"

Xu Yi nodded and said: "If you want to sink the opponent directly, Liu Zhiyuan and the others can't do it alone, and you need the help of the distribution association!"

When Chu Huan targeted these English newspapers in Hong Kong before, the reason why he didn't use the members of the distribution association like when he dealt with Huang Wenhui and others before.

That's because although the sales volume of these English newspapers was not high at that time, the sales volume of a single issue of these newspapers was still considerable.

Even if the distribution association wanted to help, it couldn't really be like Huang Wenhui's newspaper.

The combined sales of Huang Wenhui and his group's newspapers is only 50,000 in a single issue, which is not as high as a medium-sized newspaper.

In order not to offend Chu Huan, they were naturally willing to obey Chu Huan's orders.

But those English newspapers are different now.

But this time is different, only one copy of "Yi Zao Bao" is easy to do, and now Yi Zao Bao has suffered heavy losses in the stock market, it is simply too much for Chu Huan to want to shoot their newspaper to death. easy.

Chu Huan looked at Wu Shuhan and asked, "How much money did we make by shorting these newspapers this time?"

Wu Shuhan said: "Less than 300 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"This is an unexpected harvest!" Chu Huan smiled easily. For this short sale, Chu Huan did not expect it to be so smooth. It seems that at this time, the stock investors in Xiangjiang have not yet come out of the shadow of the stock market crash in 1973.

Chu Huan said to Xu Yi: "Send someone to send 1 million to the Mediterranean Sea, and it will be considered as the reward for this time and the last incident!"

To let Mediterranean do things, Chu Huan has never simply ordered the other party, although Chu Huan also holds the largest source of funds for Mediterranean.

The kind of cooperation that blindly suppresses with hard power will not last long, and in Chu Huan's view, the gains outweigh the losses.

Only by continuously combining interests can the other party truly be willing to do things for themselves.

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

This is not such an important matter, so after seeing that Chu Huan didn't talk about it, Xu Yi said directly: "Boss, when Liu Zhiyuan called before, I asked about it. This kind of short-selling business is very good. , I want to ask if you can continue?"

Chu Huan laughed and asked, "How did you answer him?"

Xu Yidao: "I have rejected Liu Zhiyuan's suggestion."

This kind of short-selling behavior, now everyone knows that it is because those English newspapers first reported some smearing articles against Chu Huan at the behest of some people, so Chu Huan sold them against them.

Therefore, although this kind of incident almost caused a new round of stock market crash in Xiangjiang, and many people criticized Chu Huan's behavior, but because the incident happened for a reason, although everyone complained, they would not say anything.

After all, it did not really cause a stock market crash, nor did it cause any real losses to everyone.

If after this matter is over, Chu Huan still wants to play short-selling in Xiangjiang, he will simply push himself to the opposite of Xiangjiang as a whole.

"Tell Liu Zhiyuan, don't have such unrealistic ideas!"

Xu Yi nodded.

Chu Huan continued to ask: "I didn't come yesterday, is there anything else going on?"

Xu Yi told Chu Huan what Fang Jianhui told him before.

"Did Xia Dingji call yesterday?"

After listening to Xu Yi's report, Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "No, only a few officials from the Financial Secretary called."

"Boss, it seems that this incident didn't really hurt Xia Dingji and the others!" Wu Shuhan said from the side.

Chu Huan smiled easily, and said: "That's the Financial Secretary, one of the biggest officials in Xiangjiang, not to mention there must be more people like him behind him, how could he be hurt because of this incident, let's talk about sticks It didn't fall on them, so naturally we have to continue!"

Xu Yi and the others had some worries on their faces. After all, this time their opponent was no longer a purely commercial competition, but the biggest force in the Hong Kong government.

"What? Worried?"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Chu Huan spoke with a smile.

"Although we are still being suppressed, we have now earned 300 million Hong Kong dollars. How many listed companies in Hong Kong do not have as much profit as us for a year. The project of building property development rights is not as profitable as ours, so there is nothing to worry about!"

When they heard what Chu Huan said, they all smiled.

Indeed, as Chu Huan said, although they are being suppressed, the money they make is real.

Although at this time, the income of 300 million Hong Kong dollars was nothing to the entire Jiaku, but it was earned under the pressure of those people, which represented a lot of problems!

"Boss, since this is the case, in order to cater to our plan in a month, should we ask General Manager Fang to do nothing now?"

Xu Yi asked Chu Huan.

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Tell Fang Jianhui, just shoot the movies you need to make, and do the activities you need to do. Don't have to worry about anything. Doesn't he know the plan? Just let him firmly believe in our plan!"

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call General Manager Fang in a while!"

Liang Risi also asked: "Chairman, after this short-selling incident is over, the film classification system and film festival will definitely be reported. I think TVB's plan can start!"

Chu Huan said: "Yes, inform Li Xiaohe that the agreed plan will be implemented tomorrow."

Liang Risi nodded and said, "Chairman, I hope I can personally participate in this matter."

Chu Huan glanced at Liang Risi, smiled and said, "Yes, I have no objection!"

Liang Risi smiled.

Wu Shuhan said from the side: "Boss, Qi Dezun called before and said he wanted to meet you. Now that the matter of the English newspaper is over, do you want to meet him?"

Chu Huan asked, "Has there been a phone call from HSBC these past two days?"

Wu Shuhan glanced at Xu Yi, and then said: "Yesterday, Roy Bentley called the office once, and there was no more call after that!"

Chu Huan said: "I see. Tell Qi Dezun that I will wait for him at the villa in Repulse Bay tonight!"

Wu Shuhan said: "Okay!"

.

The delisting and privatization of Hehe International and Wheelock have ended, which means that Qi Dezun's mission in Xiangjiang has been completely completed.

All he has to do now is to hand over these two consortiums to Chu Huan, and he will return to Scotland with all his glory!

What Qi Dezun didn't expect was that such a big thing happened just after Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Chu, what happened this time is really shocking."

Qi Dezun was sitting in Chu Huan's study at this time, with a complicated expression on his face.

In this unfinished matter, many people see things differently.

Some people who were not above the table saw how domineering Chu Huan was in this matter, and they were glad that they didn't choose to take a side, nor did they choose what to do.

Some people involved in this incident are hiding in the dark and licking their own wounds. While resenting Chu Huan for his ruthlessness in doing things, they are even more resentful for those who pushed them out but did not act at all after their accident. people.

There are some people like Qi Dezun.

They belong to the simple people who eat melons.

Qi Dezun, but it was precisely because they did not participate in it that they could look at this matter from a more objective perspective.

First of all, like many people, they lamented Chu Huan's domineering, how fucking domineering, he even suppressed the entire English newspaper field in Xiangjiang by himself.

The key is to return him to success.

This has to make people sigh.

Secondly, these people lamented Chu Huan's financial resources.

This time Chu Huan's suppression of Hong Kong's English newspapers, to put it bluntly, is a truth that everyone knows, and that is to drop ten meetings with one force.

Chu Huan was throwing money at them, the stock prices of these companies were smashed, and the bosses of these companies bowed to Chu Huan.

At that time, they seemed to be standing there when they saw Chu Huan, and calmly preached to everyone: "Come and fight at will, as long as your cash exceeds mine, you can win!"

Everyone knows what the answer is to trying to solve this problem, but it just so happens that no one can do it.

They are really not as rich as Chu Huan!

This is not a one force drop ten meetings, what is it?

But Qi Dezun not only saw this, but also saw something deeper.

"This time, you and most people in the Hong Kong government are completely on the opposite side. Although the matter of Hehe International and Wheelock is actually almost announced, I think those people will definitely be here. make a fuss about something."

Faced with Qi Dezun's worries, Chu Huan asked calmly: "Whether it is in the process of saving Hehe International, the process of acquiring Wheelock, or the process of delisting and privatizing the two companies, what do we do? Is there any violation?"

Qi Dezun shook his head and said, "I can guarantee this, there is no violation of the rules."

Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Since this is the case, then I have the confidence to wait here for the people from the Hong Kong government to find fault with me!"

Fairness only appears in front of absolute strength!

Seeing that Chu Huan was so determined, Qi Dezun couldn't help persuading him: "Mr. Chu, in fact, as long as you think about the current situation, you really won't be able to reach that point. I think those people in the Hong Kong government also understand that they want to be real. It is already impossible for them to beat you down, all they want is your attitude.

I really can't understand why you insist on this matter so much. I admit that the land in my hometown is vast and rich. If it is opened, it is indeed a natural treasure waiting to be exploited.

But it is only possible. Now that the development of Xiangjiang is getting better and better, I believe you must want to use Xiangjiang as your base camp.

Even in the next thing, you still win, but you don't think that as long as you win, everything is done?

At that time, they will stare at you closely, as long as you have any violations, they will swing their machetes without hesitation. In that case, you will always be in a high-pressure development situation.

No matter how you look at it, it is not good for your development! "

Chu Huan quietly listened to Qi Dezun's words, then picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Taiban, although I don't agree with what you just said, thank you very much for telling me at this time. These, because I know this is from the concern of my friends!"

Qi Dezun also picked up his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I have had many friends and lost many friends in the ups and downs of Xiangjiang. At that time, you can regard me as your friend."

After finishing speaking, Qi Dezun took the lead in drinking the wine in his glass.

The same is true for Chu Huan with a smile.

After drinking, Qi Dezun continued to speak: "Then I really want to know now why you don't agree with what I said!"

Chu Huan pointed at Qi Dezun, then at himself, and then said with a smile, "Because you and I stand on different positions, I cannot agree with what you said."

Qi Dezun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some horror: "Ah Huan, you really have something to hide from your hometown."

Chu Huan waved his hand. He knew that Qi Dezun was thinking too much, and said with a smile: "That's not what it means. To put it simply, Mr. Taipan, you must think that the current situation in Xiangjiang will continue, right?"

Qi Dezun nodded as a matter of course and said: "This is natural, but I believe that there will still be some disturbances in the process, but no matter from which point of view, Xiangjiang will continue to maintain the current situation in the future."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is the first difference between you and me. You think Xiangjiang will continue like this forever, but I think the current Xiangjiang is only temporary, and Xiangjiang will definitely change in the future.

Don't worry, I didn't listen to anyone's words, and I don't have any channels from my hometown. I just figured it out through historical analysis, so the problem I am facing now is only a long-term temporary problem, not a permanent one.

To exchange the present for the future is something that I can do.

In addition, this problem, in your opinion, is the problem, but in my opinion, it is just a problem that will give me a headache occasionally, but it will never hurt anything. As for why I say this, Mr. Taipan , I don't want to deceive you, so I can't tell you why! "

Chu Huan didn't finish what he said.

But Qi Dezun knew that he had understood the meaning,

"To put it simply, when others are looking at the development of the past five years, you have already set your sights on ten or even twenty years later, and you, Chu Huan, have a trump card that we people don't know about! "

Facing Qi Dezun's analysis, Chu Huan raised his wine glass again.

Qi Dezun didn't ask about this matter any more, he raised his wine glass as well, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely stay in Xiangjiang and take a good look at your development. I want to know how you will show your cards one by one in the days to come!"

Chu Huan laughed, and said, "Mr. Daban can stay here now if he wants."

Qi Dezun shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, when people are old, there is an old saying in China called Yeluoguigen. Although Xiangjiang is full of miracles, it is always just a journey in my life for me. Now I have In the twilight years, the only thing I want is to go home!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Look, this is the third difference between the two of us. You just regard Xiangjiang as a journey in your life, and this is my home!"

Qi Dezun nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I wish you, Director Chu, even more brilliant future."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Thank you!"

The two drank their third glass of wine.

"Since Director Chu already has a plan in mind, can the handover between our two families continue now?"

Qi Dezun asked Chu Huan.

At this time, he had completed his last journey in Hehe International, and it was time to say goodbye.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Wait for another month, we will be able to officially announce this matter in a month's time!"

Qi Dezun has also been paying attention to Chu Huan's affairs recently, and naturally knows that in a month's time it will be the time for the Hong Kong government to issue a film classification system and hold a film festival.

In an instant, Qi Dezun felt that he had guessed what Chu Huan was thinking: "Do you want to use the heat of this news to overwhelm the news heat of those two things?"

Chu Huan smiled, and said, "Mr. Taipan, you will naturally know then."

Qi Dezun didn't ask any further questions. Obviously, this matter has gone beyond the relationship between him and Chu Huan.

Then the two exchanged some details on the handover between the two parties.

.

the next day!

One day, Harry Kirby, the president of the daily newspaper, got up early in the morning, and yesterday afternoon he personally wrote an article about denouncing Chu Huan.

He wanted to use the influence of the daily newspaper industry to severely reprimand Chu Huan.

So today he was going to the newsstand to see how those Xiangjiang people fought against him after seeing him berating Chu Huan in the newspaper.

However, when he came to the newsstand near his home, he discovered something that made him all angry.

There is no "One Day Morning Post" on the whole news stand!

"Boss, where is "One Morning Post"? Why don't you have "One Day Morning Post" here?"

Harry Kirby was so angry that he had forgotten the lie he told others that he couldn't speak Cantonese.

The newsstand owner looked up at Harry Kirby, not knowing that this man was the owner of the One Daily News, and he said casually: "What "One Morning Post" is gone, and there won't be any in the future. I don't know if the head of the newspaper boss was kicked by a donkey, and he dared to provoke Chu Huan, which caused me to lose some money in the stock market."

"Not anymore? Why not?" Harry Kirby was stunned, he didn't care about the newsstand owner's complaints, but asked in surprise.

At this time, a bad premonition had risen in his heart.

The newsstand owner said impatiently: "No more, just no more, why are there so many, this newspaper was blocked by the distribution association and our newsstand alliance, and their newspapers will not be sold from now on! "

Harry Kirby stood there as if struck by lightning, his body swayed and almost fell.

Chu Huan dared to use the same method against Huang Wenhui and others to deal with him?

What shocked Harry Kirby even more was that no one from the Intelligence Agency told him about this in the early hours of this morning?

The distraught Harry Kirby returned to his newspaper office, and everything was in a mess.

An employee held his suitcase and handed Harry Kirby a resignation letter: "Boss, I quit!"
