Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Sean never expected that Chen Jiasheng could persuade Lin Daoqiu to join forces with him.

When looking at Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng in front of him, the smile on Sean's face was a little unnatural.

"I already understand what you two mean, but it is a bit unrealistic to buy the shares of Xiangjiang Electric at a price of 3.5 billion."

Originally, Sean wanted Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng to fight to the death to see if they could push up the price of Xiangjiang Electric Lights.

But now that they suddenly join forces, fighting is definitely impossible.

So what Sean can do now is to attract other potential buyers to increase the price.

"Mr. Sean, the current price is 3.5 billion. If Yihe doesn't sell it, I'm worried that Xiangjiang Electric won't even be able to sell it for 3 billion in a year."

"Haha... Mr. Lin is joking, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting is a high-quality company, and there are quite a few people in Xiangjiang who are interested in it."

Sean didn't believe what Lin Daoqiu said at all.

Baoyun International and Lawrence are both potential buyers of Xiangjiang Electric Light, although their performance is not as active as that of Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng.

"In this case, let's make a bet. If Xiangjiang Electric Light can be sold for 3.5 billion in one year, then I will lose 200 million Hong Kong dollars to Mr. Sean. If it cannot be sold, Mr. Sean will lose 20 million Hong Kong dollars to me.

100 million."

If Sean really agrees to the bet with Lin Daoqiu, it means that he and Chen Jiasheng will not bid for Xiangjiang Electric Light within this year.

Thinking of the attitudes of Baoyun International and Foden, Sean felt uneasy in his heart.

"Mr. Sean, except for me and Mr. Lin, no one will offer a price of 3.5 billion. If you don't believe it, you might as well make this bet with us."

Chen Jiasheng helped from the side.

His fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table, and Sean seemed to be hesitating.

"I'll give you an answer in two days."

Sean thought for a while and decided to test the attitude of the Lawrence family and Baoyun International towards Xiangjiang Electric Light.

If they don't plan to pay a high price, then Sean can only sell Xiangjiang Electric Light to Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng for 3.5 billion.

After Lin Daoqiu and the others left, Sean took the initiative to contact Foden and Bao Shaoqiang.

But it is a pity that they never thought of spending such a large sum of money to buy Xiangjiang Electric Light.

After testing the other party's attitude, Sean had realized that what Lin Daoqiu and the others said was right.

Two days later, Chen Jiasheng and Lin Daoqiu came to the headquarters of Yihe Group again, this time they came to sign a contract.

In April 1984, Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng teamed up to buy 34.9% of Heung Kong Electric's shares from Yihe Land Group for 3.5 billion.

The day after the equity transaction was completed, Chen Jiasheng suddenly received news that shocked him.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu's shareholding in Xiangjiang Electric was not 17.9% as he thought, but 21%.

"What's going on?"

Chen Jiasheng couldn't believe that Lin Daoqiu actually held 3% of the shares.

A group of secretaries nearby lowered their heads and didn't know how to answer Chen Jiasheng's question.

"Lin Daoqiu, you are quite scheming..."

Chen Jiasheng slammed the table and he was so angry.

Lin Daoqiu is now the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting. Once his shares exceed 50% in the future, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting will change its surname to Lin.

Lin Daoqiu did not let Chen Jiasheng wait too long. After buying the shares from Land Group, he began to contact other shareholders who held Heung Kong Electric shares.

After receiving the news, Chen Jiasheng was also busy acquiring shares of Heung Kong Electric.

Previously, Xiangjiang Electric's stock price was 8 yuan per share.

However, under the support of Lin Daoqiu and Li Ka-shing, in mid-April 1984, the share price of Xiangjiang Electric soared to 9.6 yuan per share.

During this period, Lin Daoqiu spent a total of one billion to collect 8% of the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Light from various places. At this time, the shares in his hands had reached 29%.

On the other side, Chen Jiasheng was not to be outdone. He spent 1.2 billion to buy 10% of the shares, and now has 27% of the shares.

The combined shares of Chen Jiasheng and Lin Daoqiu have reached 56%.

Upon seeing this, other shareholders stopped selling Heung Kong Electric's shares and planned to continue to wait for the price.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu and Chen Jiasheng were able to temporarily suspend their troops.

However, after spending so much money, the two people began to run out of funds.

If they continue to buy it, they may not even have the company's daily liquidity.

And this is the real reason why they stopped.

In May, New Oriental Records was officially established.

Lin Daoqiu serves as the chairman of New Oriental Records, while Li Xiaotian serves as the general manager.

There are still very few artists under New Oriental Records. Leslie Cheung, Happy Girls, and Su Rui are just three singers.

Xu Guanjie will have to wait until September to join New Oriental Records.

However, even if Xu Guanjie joins, New Oriental Records' foundation still looks a bit weak.

So Lin Daoqiu thought about it carefully and decided to hold a singing talent show.

In Xiangjiang, many singers have emerged from singing competitions.

Since Lin Daoqiu opened New Oriental Records, if he wanted to find a singer, he would naturally organize a competition like this.

The purpose of this is very simple. Firstly, it is to build the reputation of New Oriental Records, and secondly, it is to find excellent singers for the record company.

As for this singing competition, Lin Daoqiu named it "Starlight Talent Singing Competition".

There is no doubt that ATV is the organizer of this singing competition. After all, Lin Daoqiu cannot go to TVB for cooperation.

Since we are going to hold a singing competition, finding judges is naturally the first problem that needs to be solved.

Lin Daoqiu is very familiar with actors, directors, stars, screenwriters, etc. These people all give Lin Daoqiu face.

But when it comes to the music industry and being a singer, Lin Daoqiu seems a bit unskilled.

Lin Daoqiu called Li Xiaotian to his office and planned to talk to him about the "Starlight Talent Singing Contest".

"Mr. Lin, as for the judges, I think we should invite some famous singers. This will not only increase the ratings, but also attract many outstanding young people to participate in the competition."

It can be said that Li Xiaotian is already familiar with things like holding singing competitions.

If Lin Daoqiu leaves this matter to him, there will definitely not be any big problems.

However, Lin Daoqiu never thought about leaving the entire "Starlight Singing Contest" to Li Xiaotian.

It's not because Lin Daoqiu can't trust him, but because Li Xiaotian may not be able to understand all his intentions.

"I plan to personally participate in the preparations for this "Starlight Singing Contest"."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaotian was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would attach so much importance to this singing competition.
