HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

"I tell you, money is not the problem, the problem is you!"

"Everyone should cheer up and treat ATV as your own career!"

"I don't care for idlers!"

Then, Lin Yao looked at Huang Xizhao.

General Manager Huang, you are very capable and I will not fire you.

However, you must leave your current position as general manager and become the general manager of Tianyao Film Company! "

Although Huang Xizhao was shocked and unhappy, he could only lower his head.

ATV has been in a mess in the past two years because it has not received capital from its sponsors.

Without Huang Xizhao, ATV would have gone bankrupt two years ago.

But as the financiers behind ATV continued to drain funds, this led to the tragic ending of ATV.

TVB rose step by step and eventually became the leader of the Hong Kong television industry, suppressing ATV on the ground.

In fact, according to what Lin Yao knows, Huang Xizhao's abilities are not limited to the television industry, but are also quite capable in film and television management.

But to rectify ATV, Huang Xizhao must be replaced first.

Huang Xizhao keeps his word in ATV, and his interpersonal relationships are complicated.

If we want to reform, we must take drastic measures and break our muscles and bones.

Later, Lin Yao asked Zhan Mi to announce the appointment list of ATV’s mid-level and senior executives.

This is a carefully considered appointment list.

It can be said that the entire middle and high-level management of ATV has undergone a big shift.

After the announcement, everyone including Huang Xizhao was beaming with joy.

Because Lin Yao announced that every middle-level employee will sign a three-year labor contract, and after signing, they can get a "thousand-foot mansion"

The thousand-foot mansions on Hong Kong Island are actually 90-square-meter apartments.

But the middle-level people at the scene were all stunned by surprise!

Most of them are renters.

The big boss is so arrogant that he directly gives everyone a house. How generous this is!

After taking a puff of his cigar, Lin Yao said:

"Now let me talk about the situation of our main rival TVB. Sir Shao is an old fox. You must not underestimate him."

"In addition to TV dramas, music programs are also very popular on TVB now."

"The next thing you do is poach."

"TVB has been able to overtake ATV in recent years. What they do is not just poaching corners from other TV stations, we just poach them back."

"As long as there are talents, I have to find ways to recruit them for my use. In short, I, Lin Yao, am not short of money!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Bah bang bang!"

Lin Yao's suggestion received warm applause from all the middle and senior management of ATV!

Poaching talent is definitely a good idea, as there are talents in TV stations all over Hong Kong Island.

As long as you have Hong Kong dollars and resources, you can get a thousand-foot mansion if you come to be a high-level executive. This is an irresistible temptation.

"Zhan Mi, I still have something to do, so I'll leave this place to you. You can stay here during this period. When everything is on track, you can do other things."

After Lin Yao finished speaking, he left the ATV headquarters and returned to the Tianyao Group headquarters, accompanied by Li Xinxin, Yun Piaopiao, and Aji.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Zhan Mi respectfully watched Lin Yao leave, and then devoted himself to ATV's drastic reforms.

Zhan Mi first appointed Liang Shuyi, general manager of Qian Jiayi TV, a talent he had discovered.

Liang Shuyi is a well-known strong woman in the television industry.

Then the integration and reorganization of various departments began.

Dispensable departments were cut off and lean departments were reorganized.

With the increase in salary, employee assessment measures were immediately implemented.

Within three months, Jimi will completely transform ATV.

…

The next day, when Zhan Mi was renovating ATV, Lin Yao met with a white-skinned guy in his chairman's office.

This person looks to be in his forties.

He has dark yellow hair, blue eyes, wears a designer suit, and has a calm expression.

There was an air of aristocratic gentleman about him, making him none other than Davis Rockefeller.

Davis Rockefeller was the third generation of the Rockefeller family and was the most outstanding and capable one.

His career is not only in oil, but also in Bank of Manhattan, which ranks sixth among the ten largest banks in the world.

After he served as president and general manager of the bank's executive committee, the bank's capital increased from US$5 billion to a net asset value of US$30 billion.

At this moment, Davis Rockefeller was sipping Keemun black tea.

Because according to the antitrust laws of country m, the Rockefeller family seems to have lost control of companies such as Mobil Oil.

In fact, Davis' current position shows that this decoupling is actually a cover-up.

Because Davis is now the deputy general manager of Mobil Oil Company.

"Mr. Davis, what do you think of this black tea?" Lin Yao looked at the other party and said calmly.

"Dear Mr. Lin, this black tea has the most unique taste I have ever tasted. Not bad."

Davis Rockefeller took a sip of Qimen black tea and nodded to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao could tell that he was perfunctory.

Many people will be fooled by the polite words spoken by these upper-class gentlemen, and hypocrisy is their epitaph.

"Mr. Davis, it seems that you are not used to our Qimen black tea. So what do you like to drink?" Lin Yao asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I'll do whatever you want," Davis Rockefeller said casually.

"Okay, Piaopiao, then give him boiled water!" Lin Yao said calmly to Yun Piaopiao.

Yun Piaopiao was a little surprised when he heard this.

But he immediately took out a bottle of mineral water and placed it in front of Davis Rockefeller.

Davis Rockefeller's expression changed slightly, fleetingly, but he continued to maintain the so-called gentlemanly demeanor.

However, Lin Yao saw it from Davis Rockefeller's expression.

He is not only a gentleman, but also has a kind of forbearance that seeks for himself.

This made Lin Yao feel a little confused.

With the wealth of the Rockefeller family, there is absolutely no need for them to do this.

The only explanation is that they discovered a huge fortune.

For the Rockefeller family, hypocrisy is their epitaph and greed is their eternal gene.

Davis came to Lin Yao today not on behalf of the Rockefeller family, but on behalf of Mobil Oil Company.

Mr. Lin, our company has been in Manna for a long time. Coastal areas have bought a large number of uninhabited islands to facilitate the exploration of nearby seabed oil.

"I heard that there is an island over there called Twenty-Seven Capitals that belongs to you."

Davis smiled and said the only purpose of his visit to Lin Yao this time: oil.

In this era, oil is a hard currency comparable to the US dollar.

In addition to West Asia and North Africa, Mobil Oil Company has purchased a large number of uninhabited islands in the coastal areas of Southeast Asia.

and conducted numerous surveys for seabed oil.

I was surprised to find that the oil reserves on the seabed in the coastal areas of Southeast Asia are amazing.

However, the coastal oil reserves of Erqidu Island in Manchuria are the richest.

And Lin Yao had already noticed the relevant information and established Tianyao Oil Company a long time ago.

And it is planned to be mined starting next year.

The seabed oil around the 27th Capital is not only enough to support the people's livelihood in the 27th Capital, it seems that Lin Yao will build his own oil empire.

Moreover, the location of Twenty-seven Capitals is comparable to that of the Lion City!

It's the throat waterway.

Mobil Oil Company wants to exploit the desert islands they bought for oil development.

Twenty-seven capitals were like a big mountain lying in front of them.

Ah, this is also the purpose of Davis coming to Lin Yao, which is the oil exploration rights in Nanyang.

Lin Yao smiled softly and said, "Mr. Davis, I paid a lot of money to win this fight."

"And we have finally reached a peace agreement with the Manlajia government. I also have my own oil company and I am ready to exploit it. Mr. Davis, do you want to discuss cooperation with me in mining this time?"

"No, Mr. Lin, the main reason I came to Hong Kong Island to ask you is if you have sold the rights to exploit the oil in the 27th Capital and surrounding seabeds?"

Selling oil rights?

Lin Yao smiled.

Only a fool would sell the mining rights, and what is flowing underneath is black gold.

The entire South China Sea basin, which contains oil and gas, covers an area of ​​nearly 1.5 million square kilometers.

The oil reserves in the South China Sea are very considerable, and it is estimated that the geological reserves may be around 23 billion tons.

"Are you kidding, Mr. Davis? Our Tianyao Group has established Tianyao Petroleum Company and has made a lot of preparations."

"It will be mined next year. Nanyang's oil mining rights are not for sale!"

Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar and refused directly.

Davis Rockefeller seemed to be able to predict Lin Yao's answer. He nodded and smiled and said lightly:

"Mr. Lin, the world's oil industry has been developing for 110 years, and it has been eight years since seabed oil was discovered."

"But so far, apart from our Mobil Oil Company, have you seen other companies that have the technology to mine seabed rock sources?"

"In addition to the technical difficulty, there is also the cost of mining."

"The oil resources under the sea are completely different from those on land. The cost is very high and the technology is comparable to the difficulty of landing on the moon!

"Although your Tianyao Group is a big company on Hong Kong Island, as far as I know, you have been involved in the oil industry for less than a year."

"Without the strong technical support of our Mobil Oil Company, you have to rely on yourself. Don't say that you won't be able to exploit it in 10 years from next year."

"Even if you can mine it, the income from mining will not be as good as the cost you invested!"

"I'm telling the truth. I hope you can understand, Mr. Lin."

Although what Davis said is arrogant, it is indeed true.

Lin Yao's current Tianyao Petroleum Company is an empty frame. Although it is not short of money, it has no technology and no relevant talents.

In other words, senior talents have not been recruited yet.

To date, there has not been a single exploration for seabed oil

Lin Yao also knows the difficulty of undersea oil extraction.

Offshore oil fields are divided into three categories: shallow sea, deep sea and ultra-deep sea.

The ultra-deep sea generally refers to the ocean with a water depth of 1500 m or more.

There are two sets of standards that distinguish shallow seas from deep seas, namely Norwegian standards and European and American standards.

According to international standards, shallow seas refer to oceans with water depths less than 300 m, and deep seas refer to oceans with water depths from 300 m to 1500 m.

The standard for distinguishing shallow seas and deep seas in European and American countries is based on a water depth of 500 m, that is, if 500 m is shallow, it is shallow sea, and if 500 m is deep, it is deep sea.

The technical difficulty of deepwater operations is almost the same as that of aerospace engineering.

From the perspective of the design, development and application of global large-scale mechanical equipment, the underwater production system of deepwater oil and gas fields, or underwater mining system.

It can be said to be the same as aviation and aerospace engineering.

The average cost of building a deepwater underwater oil and gas extraction system in the world is about US$2 billion.

"So, Mr. Lin, you might as well sell the oil field to us."

"Our company will give you a price that satisfies you, or even a surprising price!" Davis Rockefeller said.

After taking a sip of Keemun black tea, Lin Yao smiled and said:

"Mr. Davis, you must have known the weight of Tianyao Group before you came to see me today. I am not short of money!"

"If you want to offer a price, I am afraid that the price I offer will be unacceptable to you and the company behind you."

"Mr. Lin, the oil field mining rights you hold have been noticed by many international companies. This is a big piece of cake."

"They will try every means to let the governments of the small countries in Nanyang interfere!"

"You are not strong enough to fight against several countries on that small island, right?"

Davis said in a leisurely voice.

Obviously, this is a threat.

But Lin Yao's expression is still calm and unmoved.

However, what Davis said is not false, and the facts are indeed so.

Although the coastline where the 27th Capital is located is only 50 kilometers, it is an oil-rich area.

Including the exclusive zone, the area of ​​underwater oil fields that can be mined is as large as 5,000 square kilometers!

Although Lin Yao has obtained the local oil mining rights and the right to occupy Erqidu, it is only a fragile agreement after all.

When several small countries act like hooligans together, a small Erqidu will definitely not be able to stop them.

Since Davis emphasized this matter, he must have received relevant information.

Or Mobil Oil and some other international oil giants are already pushing this matter.

"Mr. Lin, our family has suffered too much for oil"

"For oil, a war may break out at any time in any corner of the world."

"Do you think you can withstand it with Erqidu?" Davis continued to strengthen his tone.

However, Lin Yaobi did not get angry, and sneered at Davis' words in his heart.

The Rockefeller family killed too many people for oil, and their hands were stained with blood.

They also called themselves suffering too much.

It's really a traitor who wants to build a memorial archway.

Lin Yao would not take Davis' words too lightly.

Wars for oil can break out at any time.

After taking over the entire 27th Island, Lin Yao was mentally prepared for this.

This is the golden waterway, the throat of the East-West trade.

Even if there are no oil resources, his existence will be a thorn in the eyes of others.

"Mr. Davis, the entire 27th Island and all the oil fields under the exclusive economic zone are my personal property, and I will never sell them."

"Also, I have the absolute strength to ensure that my interests will not be lost in any way."

"Friends come with good wine, and jackals come with a shotgun!"

Lin Yao took a puff of Cuban cigar and looked at Davis and said lightly.

As soon as the voice fell, time seemed to stop instantly!

Davis smiled and stood up from the chair.

Then he adjusted his Armani suit and said to Lin Yao with a gentlemanly smile:

"Mr. Lin, then I wish you the best, goodbye!" (End of this chapter)
