Silicon Valley

"The Internet concept stocks are really high, and the global online market value has exceeded 200 billion US dollars all of a sudden!" The speaker shook his head, feeling incomparable.

For an industrial company, even if the revenue exceeds 10 billion US dollars, the market value may not necessarily reach 200 billion. On the contrary, Internet companies are still sought after even if they lose money. Not to mention that Global Online can rely on advertising to make profits, but most of the other Internet companies are losing money!

After some Internet companies with serious losses went public, they still have a market value of more than one billion US dollars. However, some companies go bankrupt soon after going public. In Silicon Valley, ups and downs are normal, and even some humble supermarket salespersons may have been the boss of an Internet company worth hundreds of millions of dollars before!

Henry has already asked Weifeng Capital Investment Company to set up a technology company incubator, specializing in investing in newly established Internet technology companies, and then helping them go public. At present, there are more than 100 companies in the Prestige Capital incubator, and 11 companies can go public. As long as the company can be listed, Weifeng Capital can receive several times, even dozens of times of returns!

Of course, if you come across some super creative company, you will buy it by the way!

There are many companies under Henry's name who have selected and acquired many excellent companies from Weifeng Capital, thus obtaining the other party's creativity and technology at a low price, and strengthening their own strength!

The 1994 World Cup started on June 18 and ended on July 17. The World Cup champion was Brazil!

During this period, the whole world is watching the World Cup in front of the TV. The United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and other countries can only watch the game through espn sports channel, if there is a network, you can also watch it through RealPlayer "online tv".

RealPlayer has launched the "Online TV" feature after the "Online Movie Library" feature. TV channels can be watched through RealPlayer. Currently, this feature has just been launched, and only the TV channels of abc broadcaster and the channels of Asia Television Limited can be watched. But in the future. RealNetwork company will get more TV channel authorization, enrich TV channel content!

After Henry took over, Asia Television Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly and has acquired more than 30 local TV stations in Southeast Asia. At the same time, ATV (Taiwan) wireless station was established in Taiwan. In addition, with the help of DirecTV satellite TV operating company, Asia TV has a wider coverage and greater influence, becoming the only TV group that can compete with News Corporation Star Media in Asia.

Hong Kong TVB TV station was once beaten by Asia TV, and its market value has shrunk wildly. Now the ratings are less than half that of Asian TV. And during the World Cup. The ratings are even worse, only one-fifth of Asian TV! Asia Television then initiated an acquisition request to TVB Company. This time, all major shareholders of TVB no longer supported Run Run Shaw, and they decided to sell TVB TV station!

After several rounds of negotiations, which lasted ten days, ATV finally completed the acquisition plan of TVB with HK$2 billion!

After Asia Television acquired TVB TV station, it completed the unification of the Hong Kong TV field and became a well-deserved giant in the Hong Kong media industry!

It didn't take long. Representatives from mainland China expressed goodwill to Asia Television and purchased more than 20 TV series to enter the mainland! It is 1994, and Hong Kong will return in 1997. At this critical juncture, the importance of Hong Kong media giant Asia Television cannot be overemphasized!

If you can lean towards mainland China, it will be very beneficial for mainland China to take back Hong Kong! Otherwise, it will cause major trouble!

Henry explained to the executives of ATV that the return of Hong Kong is unstoppable, so for the future development of the company, ATV's attitude must be inclined towards mainland China! therefore. At present, the relationship between the two parties is very good.

After Asia Television acquired TVB, another major action was to purchase the perpetual copyright of the film, which is limited to the TV copyright. Because Asia TV's competitor Star Media is already in action, Asia TV, as a local snake, will be ridiculed by others if it doesn't act!

With the status of ATV today, Hong Kong film companies have to give some face. After ATV called them over, they told them that ATV wanted to buy the film rights of their company and put them on TV!

Whoever sells is not selling, but it seems better to sell to Asian TV. My own company still needs to develop in Hong Kong. In the future, I will definitely have to ask Asia Television for help in promoting movies. Now it is a personal favor to sell the film copyright to Asia Television. And selling to Star Media is just to make a little more money! In terms of influence in Hong Kong, Star Media can't keep up with Asia TV!

Therefore, everyone smiled and sold the perpetual copyright of the movie to ATV at a very cheap price. They also have another concern. If they don't sell it to ATV, they may be wearing small shoes in the future? Not only is ATV not busy promoting your movie, but it is also slandering it on TV. Is this shit still going on?

Hong Kong film companies have compromised with ATV, but there is only one film company that refuses to sell the film rights to ATV.

This company is no other company, it is the Shaw Brothers Film Company of Run Run Shaw!

Run Run Shaw's TVB TV station was acquired by ATV. He held a grudge against ATV and refused to sell the film rights to ATV! This move made Shaw Brothers stand out among Hong Kong film companies!

"Shaw Brothers is awesome! Other film companies are courting ATV, but it's the only one that behaves differently!"

"Hehe, what a jerk, it's called death! I think Shaw Brothers is about to die... After all, TV has more influence than movies! I'll bring you a little scandal every day, what about the film company or its artists? What kind of image do you have! Besides, if the movie is released in the future, if you don't use TV to promote it, hehe, how high do you think the box office will be?"

"That's right, it seems that Run Run Shaw is still a little emotional!"

"Look, Shaw Brothers will definitely be isolated from other film companies, and it won't take long for the company to lose talent! If I were in Shaw Brothers, I would definitely have to change jobs!"

"Well, that's right, that's it!"

Sure enough, many people analyzed it very accurately.

At this time, the Shaw Brothers Film Company was in turmoil, people were unstable, and many people were ready to find another job!

ATV executives called Henry for advice.

"Chairman, do we want to block Shaw Brothers?"

The company under Henry's name will send emails to report the company's recent situation every week. Therefore, Henry is very familiar with the recent actions of ATV!

"The acquisition of TVB is just to increase our voice. From our standpoint, that's right! But from Run Run Shaw's standpoint, we are taking away his TV station! Run Run Run Run has been a film and television tycoon who has dominated Hong Kong for many years. , has played a very important role in the development of Hong Kong films and should be given enough respect. You don't need to block it. You publicize it to the outside world. Regardless of whether Shaw Brothers sells the film rights to ATV, ATV will treat them equally and never. It will embarrass Shaw Brothers!"

"Okay, Chairman, I understand!"

In the afternoon after the call, ATV held a press conference and solemnly announced: "Recently, there have been some rumors from Hong Kong that Shaw Brothers is unwilling to sell the film rights to ATV. Therefore, ATV will Ban or even put shoes on Shaw Brothers! Here, we ATV solemnly announce that these words are nonsense. Regardless of whether Shaw Brothers sells the film rights to ATV, ATV will treat them equally and never A little bit of embarrassment for Shaw Brothers!!!”

The reporters from the major newspapers were dumbfounded. What's going on? Asia TV is so open-minded? Shouldn't we take the opportunity to crush and force Shaw Brothers to submit?

ATV did not explain why, and after the press conference said this, it was over!

The whole of Hong Kong has been discussing it one after another.

Although Run Run Shaw left TVB, but with his influence and contacts in TVB for many years, he found out that it was Henry Williams who forbade Asian TV to suppress Shaw Brothers!

After Shaw heard this, he suddenly fell silent...
