Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 426 Xiangjiang Sixth Uncle
Although Bao Zixuan usually keeps a low profile, he doesn't spend much time in Xiangjiang in recent years. However, he is the richest man in Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese population, and he attracts a lot of attention.
Especially in a place like TVB where there are a large number of female artists, they all want to marry into rich families. Although there are many rich people in Xiangjiang, the differences between families are also very serious. If you want to join a wealthy family, you need to go through many tests. Bao Zixuan is different. He started from scratch and there are not many rules in his family. Therefore, many people regard him as one of the men Xiangjiang girls most want to marry, or even the number one.
Bao Zixuan's arrival shocked the entire TVB office building. After all, no one would have thought that Bao Zixuan, the richest man, would come to the TV station. Everyone was very curious and wanted to come and take a look. At this time, Fang Yihua came out and said, "You don't have to do anything anymore, right?"
Just this sentence made all the actors and staff who came to watch were so scared that they all backed away. It can be seen that Fang Yihua is also a ruthless person in TVB, at least he can keep the scene under control.
Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Miss Fang!"
Fang Yihua: "Hello! Mr. Bao, I made you laugh. Sir Shao is already waiting for you in the office. He specially asked me to come down to pick you up."
When Bao Zixuan came, Fang Yihua directly received him and went straight to Run Run Shaw's office, which made the artists a little disappointed. Everyone thought that Bao Zixuan came here to find a spokesperson. If he could get Heiyun's endorsement contract, both the economic benefits and the media attention would skyrocket.
When I came to Run Run Shaw's office, Bao Zixuan met this legendary figure, this patriotic businessman known as "Uncle Six" in Hong Kong.
Run Run Shaw, formerly known as Shao Renlang, was born in Shanghai and his ancestral home is Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang. Honorary Chairman of Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Company Limited (TVB) and one of the founders of Shaw Brothers Film Company. Filmmaker, entertainment mogul, philanthropist.
Among the eight Shao brothers and sisters, he ranked sixth. In the old Shanghai era, he was known as "Shao Laoliu", and after coming to Hong Kong, he was respectfully called "Sixth Uncle". Run Run Shaw established Shaw Brothers Film Company in Hong Kong in 1958 and has produced more than a thousand Chinese-language films. In addition, his subsidiary Television Broadcasting Company Limited (TVB, commonly known as Wireless Television) dominates Hong Kong's television industry.
Since 1985, Run Run Shaw has cooperated with the Ministry of Education through the Shaw Foundation, and has donated huge sums of money to mainland education to build educational and teaching facilities. As of 2012, the amount of donations was nearly HK$4.75 billion, and 6,013 educational projects of various types were built. Over the years, it has donated more than HK$10 billion to social welfare and charity affairs in the mainland.
In 1974, he was awarded the CBE title by the Queen of England. In 1977, Shao was conferred a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II, becoming the first person in the Hong Kong entertainment industry to receive the title of "knight". In 1990, the Chinese government named Planet 2899 discovered by China "Shaw Star". In 1991, the city of San Francisco designated September 8 as "Shaw Run Run" every year.
In 2002, the Shaw Prize, known as the "Oriental Nobel", was established to reward scientists who have made outstanding achievements in mathematics, life sciences, medicine and astronomy in the world every year. Officially retired in 2011, Run Run Shaw is also the world's oldest and longest-serving CEO of a listed company.
Although he is not particularly generous to his artists, he definitely spares no effort in donating to education in the motherland. Why people can live a long life is not only because of good maintenance, but also because of good fortune. Bao Zixuan also studied in the Shaw Teaching Building in his previous life, so he still respected this person very much.
Seeing Bao Zixuan come in, Run Run Shao quickly stood up and said: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I have heard of your name for a long time but have never had a good communication with you. Only when I saw you today did I realize that heroes come from young. We people are really A little old."
Bao Zi
After saying that, he put the things on the coffee table. Both Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were stunned when they heard the address. In addition, Bao Zixuan also came with gifts, what exactly is going on. It is widely rumored that although Bao Zixuan looks harmless to humans and animals, he can be very domineering at times, and even the chartering king will retreat if he gets angry. Today is the sun rising in the west.
Run Run Shaw: "Sheng Bao is too polite, so I will be disrespectful. I have invited you over this time because I have something I want to discuss with you, mainly about the equity issue of Xiangjiang TVB."
"As the actual controller of Hutchison Whampoa, you should know the equity structure of TVB. The Lee family has always been the largest shareholder of the TV station. But since the death of Mr. Lee, his two sons have joined the board of directors. If they just feel at ease as directors , I won’t say anything while enjoying the dividends; after all, there is still love and affection involved, and no one should go too far.”
"But they often harass female artists because of their status as board members. I think you should have heard of this. Although family scandals should not be made public, some things have already caused a sensation in Hong Kong. There is no need to hide it. If the cancer is not eliminated, , the future prospects of TVB are not that good either.”
Bao Zixuan: "Although I'm not in Xiangjiang, I have heard about these things. Now that Uncle Six has found me, I should have thought of a solution. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
Run Run Shaw: "I want to buy the TVB shares held by Hutchison Whampoa. I wonder if Mr. Bao can give it up. The price will definitely satisfy you."
Bao Zixuan: "I heard that Uncle Liu is homesick and has a lot of properties. We can exchange this for it. After all, I am not short of money, and Hutchison Whampoa will retain a director seat, so I think I can only sell you With 10% of TVB shares, you are the largest shareholder of the company and can freely handle anything."
Hearing that Bao Zixuan actually wanted to exchange shares for property gave Run Run Shao a headache. Although he has many properties, they are all in core areas. Once sold, it is difficult to buy it back. If the money is gone, you can still make money; but once you lose some things, you can never get them back. At this time, you are faced with the problem of how to choose.
Bao Zixuan knew that Run Run Shaw had been developing in Hong Kong since the 1950s and had entered the wealthy class in the 1930s. The properties he purchased are all in the core areas of Xiangjiang, the kind that even if you have money you can't buy them.
The market value of TVB will definitely rise in the future, and it will be a big loss if we don't get something valuable back.
At this time, Run Run Shao was struggling in his heart, but he was not the only one who could come despite strong winds and waves. He made a decision in just a moment and said, "No problem, but I hope Hutchison's votes on the board of directors will be consistent with mine in the future."
Bao Zixuan: "Please rest assured, Uncle Six, as long as the interests of Heiyun Tong and Hutchison Whampoa are not harmed, there will be absolutely no problem."
After hearing this, Run Run Shaw finally understood why Bao Zixuan still retained part of the equity. This young man was really smart. This will ensure the steady development of TVB TV station, and at the same time, as a director of the TV station, he will also have a certain say, and no one will dare to report unfavorable news to his own directors. And sometimes he doesn't have to take much responsibility when reporting on sensitive topics. After all, Hutchison is only a small shareholder of the company.
He had calculated every aspect, so it’s no wonder he became the richest man. Many people used to think that Bao Zixuan was just a technological genius, but now it seems that everyone underestimates him.
Run Run Shaw: "Please rest assured, Mr. Bao, TVB is not a gossip media. At the same time, Hutchison Wong and Black Cloud are still major clients of the TV station. No one dares to offend the sponsor."
Bao Zixuan: "I feel relieved because of Uncle Liu's words. Uncle Liu can just arrange when to go through the handover procedures."
Run Run Shaw: "I will arrange for lawyers and financial personnel to evaluate the market value of both parties, and then ask a third party to conduct detailed verification. I will never let Mr. Bao suffer. To be honest, investing in property was one of the smart decisions I made back then. Now many The place has increased more than 10 times.”
Next, the two of them started talking about some life topics, mainly to deepen their impression; and they also met to have morning tea together at the Peninsula Hotel, where Run Run Shaw had an exclusive seat.
