The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Hong Kong Electric's market value is only HK$4.8 billion. Under the covert purchase by the investment companies of Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui, the stock price began to rise.

On this day, Lin Zhichao called Zhou Fuzhao and arranged: "You have people spread the news in the market, that is, Land wants to acquire the Hong Kong Electric Lighting Company. After the news spreads, it will be spread that Cheung Kong and Carnegie Group intend to join the acquisition, driving up the stock price. .”

Zhou Fuzhao said in confusion: "Boss, with our current financial strength, there is no problem in directly acquiring Hong Kong Electric. Why should we give up this high-quality asset?"

He understood that the boss was just letting Land acquire Hong Kong Electric at a high price.

Hong Kong Electric is a high-quality asset, with annual profits of RMB 6 to 7 billion. It is a proper cash cow.

Lin Zhichao said: "What I want is land!"

There are also disadvantages to Cheung Kong Group's current acquisition of HK Electric, that is, Hong Kong Land is a shareholder of HK Electric, with about 10% of the equity. Once Cheung Kong and Land are involved in the acquisition war, even if Cheung Kong Group wins in the end, it will be The price is very scary, but it actually makes investors cheaper.

Zhou Fuzhao was suddenly shocked. After calming down, he said: "Currently, Land's liabilities have reached tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. If we acquire HK Electric again, I am afraid that the liabilities will exceed the asset value of Land! If it is just a real estate adjustment, Land will still be able to turn around." Chance."

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Time is destiny! When my company has grown up, I am no longer as ruthless as I used to be. The same is true for Exchange Square and the same is true for Hong Kong Electric. Therefore, if we have the opportunity, we will take it. If there is no chance, we will take it." Let’s look for another target.”

Both Zhou Fuzhao and his son were his 'retainers', and Zhou Fuzhao was even more familiar with Lin Zhichao's previous style of auctioning the land he wanted, almost regardless of how much his opponent bid.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

"Well, no need to make a big show of it, just reveal it."

"I see"

After Zhou Fuzhao left, Lin Zhichao showed a smile of victory.

In the previous life, after acquiring Hong Kong Electric Company and Hong Kong Telephone Company, Land had liabilities of RMB 16 billion; the following year, the liabilities increased to RMB 18 billion (interest).

In this life, after the completion of "Operation Dawn", Land's debt was at least 18 billion; at the same time, Land lost two high-quality assets, "Victoria Harbor Center" and "Star Tower" in the early stage, and its own asset value also dropped sharply by 20%.

In this case, Land may be on the verge of bankruptcy in this life, and Cheung Kong Group can annex it.

HK Electric's stock price has been hovering around HK$5 recently, and it suddenly rose strongly recently (three parties bought 150 million), growing to HK$5.5 in half a month.

Recently, news suddenly came out that Hongkong Land wanted to acquire Hong Kong Electric, and later it came out that Cheung Kong and Carnegie Corporation would join the competition (shareholders didn't know that Carnegie Corporation was already in trouble and there was no thunderstorm yet).

For a time, the four stocks of Hong Kong Electric, Land, Cheung Kong and Carin were speculated one after another, and investors wanted to enter the market with huge sums of money.

Land Corporation.

"Taipan, Hong Kong Electric's stock price has risen to 5.8 Hong Kong dollars, and the news in the market has completely spread!" His subordinates walked into Bao Fuda's office and reported.

Bao Fuda said with a headache: "I know!"

If the news is leaked and Land is not ready to end the situation, then the price will increase.

He did not suspect that Cheung Kong Group was deliberately engaging in land acquisition, because just as he had considered in advance, Lin Zhichao must have a peep at Hong Kong Electric. Now it seems that Cheung Kong Group is secretly buying HK Electric's shares.

This is the consistent strategy of Cheung Kong Group. It first buys stocks secretly and then takes the opportunity to make public acquisitions. But this time, someone may have discovered the actions of Cheung Kong Group and initially placed the 'culprit' on Land.

After a while, Niubijian also came to Bao Fuda's office, and the two discussed countermeasures.

"We cannot let Cheung Kong Group continue to make secret purchases. We must immediately announce a public acquisition so that Cheung Kong Group can retreat! After all, we are one step ahead!" Bao Fuda said.

Land holds 90 million shares of Hong Kong Electric (9.3%), while the total share capital of Hong Kong Electric is 960 million shares. These stocks have always been held, and Hongkong Land is already a member of the board of directors of Hong Kong Electric.

Niubijian said: "I made an appointment with Chen Bi from HSBC in the evening. If he provides financial support, we can officially issue an acquisition announcement tomorrow. However, according to the current situation, I am afraid that it will cost more than 1 yuan per share, and the price will be negligible. It’s three to four hundred million higher. Who leaked the news?”

Bao Fuda said: "I don't know who leaked the news. I guess it may be Cheung Kong Group's secret purchase, which caused the news to spread."

When Niubijian heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous, and then said: "According to this situation, the shares held by Changshi Group should not exceed 5%, and we still have an advantage."

Bao Fuda said: "Even if we are on the same starting line, we have to beat Cheung Kong Land. Hong Kong Electric is a cash cow company and is more worthy of winning than Exchange Square."

At this time, Bao Fuda seemed to have expanded. Although Real Estate was heavily in debt, he did not feel that there was any risk.

In fact, if there had not been a collapse of Hong Kong's real estate and finance caused by the "Hua Ying Negotiations", Land's debt of 18 billion would not have been a big problem; especially if real estate returned to the upward channel, then all risks would have passed.

Not to mention, behind the Land there is Jardine!

On March 29, when the market opened on Monday, Yifu Company, a brokerage company representing Land, announced that it would acquire 222 million shares of Hong Kong Electric at a price of HK$8.02 per share. This price is 31% higher than last week's closing price of HK$6.13.

In order to avoid triggering a comprehensive acquisition, the additional shares purchased are controlled below 35% (according to the Takeovers and Mergers Committee regulations, if the critical point exceeds 35%, a comprehensive acquisition must be completed, and the shareholding must exceed 50% to be considered a successful acquisition), and to The market bought 12 million HK Electric warrants at a price of $10.4, accounting for 20% of the total issuance of warrants.

The price of the land is more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars more than in the previous life. It is obvious that Lin Zhichao's goal has been achieved.

Of course, HK Electric shareholders in the market are still waiting for Cheung Kong Group and Carnegie Group to join the bidding, so the Land acquisition will not be completed so quickly.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao came to Far East Financial Center and walked into an office building.

Many of them are female employees, so they are not surprised to see Lin Zhichao coming. After all, they all know that their boss is lucky to have a tycoon named Lin Zhichao on the list.

“Lin Shenghao”

"Well, hello."

"The boss is in the office"

"Thanks"

Lin Zhichao doesn't care. He has many scandals and a reputation for romance in Hong Kong. So he doesn't need to cover up too much and appear sneaky.

When Lin Zhichao walked into Guan Jiahui's office.

"Guess how long Lin Sheng will stay in the boss's office?"

"You're going to die, be careful if the boss hears it and you'll get fired!"

"No, Sister Qing, please don't tell anyone!"

The benefits of this company are super good, and the boss treats everyone very kindly. They are all girls. If they go out and look for jobs again, it would be great to have half of the benefits.

As for the male employees, in Lin Zhichao's female company, they have always done "cool work".

"The boss's life is so good! Mr. Lin really likes her, loves the house and the bird, and even treats us with a smile!"

"The boss is pretty and listens to Lin Sheng's words. Of course he is liked by Lin Sheng."

"How do you know your boss is obedient?"

"I have eyes!"

Everyone couldn't help but discuss it. After all, this company is very busy. With seven or eight employees, they can spare a lot of time every day.

In Guan Jiahui's office.

Lin Zhichao sat in her seat and looked at Guan Jiahui, who was wearing work uniform. This woman was much more beautiful.

"Hong Kong Electric's stocks are ready to be sold. If you sell them to Land Corporation, you can make a profit of about 50%!"

Kwan Ka-wai was very happy as soon as she came to work today, because the staff also brought her the newspaper about Land's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric's shares. Of course, she did not think of selling because the staff said that Cheung Kong Group might want to join the acquisition.

As soon as she heard this, she decided to sell it to Cheung Kong Group.

"You don't want it?"

"What I want it to do is make you money. Call Leeson (stock broker) immediately and ask him to sell the stock to Land without delay in making money."

Guan Jiahui happily picked up the desk phone and dialed her manager Leeson's number.

She sat directly on the desk, with a pair of beautiful legs flying down three thousand feet. Her uniform skirt seemed to be like the Milky Way falling from the sky. This woman was particularly beautiful in the office.

Lin Zhichao couldn't help but pick up one of her feet and slide his palm on her leg. Today she was wearing silk stockings, which still made people feel excited.

Guan Jiahui's legs are beautifully proportioned.

"Leeson, sell all of my company's Hong Kong Electric shares to Land as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about anything else, just sell it to Land. I'll ask Ah Qing to come over later."

Guan Jiahui couldn't help but hum a few times, but she held it back firmly. It wasn't until she hung up the phone that she let out a cheerful "hmm".

"I hate it, I almost couldn't help it just now!"

"You can't be so sensitive!"

"Husband, you are so charming that this little girl can't resist!"

Seeing that Guan Jiahui was young and already charming and full of femininity at the age of twenty, Lin Zhichao immediately decided not to leave the office for two hours today.

"Husband, you are thinking of bad things!" Guan Jiahui said shyly.

"Well, I plan to give you a child." Lin Zhichao stood up and held Guan Jiahui in his arms.

This woman had no children in her previous life, so she should have one earlier in this life. Anyway, with his Holy Spirit in charge, these women's faces will not be damaged.

Guan Jiahui snuggled into Lin Zhichao's arms, letting Lin Zhichao's big hands take control of her. This pair of big handles was cultivated by this man.

She said without hesitation: "I listen to you!"

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, having a baby early will have no impact on you, nor will it affect your beauty!"

"Hehe, I know, Sister Yazhi and Sister Qingxia will not be affected after giving birth to children."

Afterwards, Guan Jiahui tidied up a little, then walked out of the office, arranged the work of her subordinates, then returned to the office again, and closed the door tightly.

Turning, first enter Shenwan, enter Zhongwan, then turn to South Bay, enter Repulse Bay, and exit Clearwater Bay and Butterfly Bay.

KISS ends.

"Husband, you are so awesome!"

"Of course, if the little beauty still wants it, I can enter Daya Bay again!"

"No, my legs are weak!".

A few days later.

Seeing that Cheung Kong Group and Jianing Group had no intention of participating in the acquisition, shareholders flocked to the Yee Fu Registration Office.

Land's chief executive Pau Fuda also announced in early April that Land had acquired no more than 35% of Hong Kong Electric's equity, winning the acquisition.

Some media later reported that Land's rapid expansion in Hong Kong had exhausted its cash resources and it had also borrowed large amounts from a syndicate, with liabilities as high as about HK$18 billion. Comments also pointed out that large debts are not a problem. As long as the real estate market is in good condition and the economic prospects are promising, Yi Zhi, which has abundant capital and is the land king in the Central District, will not worry about making money.

However, is this really the case?

The Battle of the Falklands has begun, Argentina is sending troops to the Falklands, and history is developing according to the planned track.

Once the British win, the Thatcher government will naturally take advantage of this prestige and come to the East to negotiate the Hong Kong issue.

And Thatcher's sleep in Beijing will destroy the confidence of Hong Kong people!

Recently, ATV's ratings have reached more than 30% (TVB's is more than 60%, and there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong). Some people say that it is the result of Sylvia Chow's silver bullet.

Shu-Yi Chow's silver bullets not only strengthened ATV's foundation, but also reduced Infinity TV to pieces. Therefore, the two TV stations have really been tit-for-tat in the past two years.

ATV's recent big move is to promote "Miss Asia", the drama "Bao Qingtian", and the variety show "The Prize Men", and it is now ready to launch a general offensive.

Miss Asia has expanded the scope of the beauty pageant to the Asia-Pacific region. The winner is referred to as "Miss Asia", and ATV has hired "talented" Huang Zhan as one of the hosts.

"Bao Qingtian" is a drama series produced by ATV with a huge investment, adopting a mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time. This model originated from ATV's filming of "The Transformation of the Silkworm" and was later adopted by TVB. "Shanghaitan" adopted this model and can be adjusted according to the opinions of the audience.

Of course, the reason why "Bao Qingtian" chose this model is because it is originally a unit drama.

The filming of this series requires a long preparation time and consumes a lot of money, which is also very rare. Because of this, ATV staff believe that there is no market in Hong Kong for filming serious dramas.

In any case, "Bao Qingtian" will start airing during prime time in mid-April.

"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, who is selfless and unselfish in identifying loyalties and traitors, and heroes from all walks of life come to help" as the theme song played.

Hong Kong audiences squatted beside the TV and watched.

The first unit is the ‘Guillotine Case’.

In the first episode, Qin Xianglian complained about her injustice, and Bao Zheng went to the Prince Consort's Mansion to seek evidence. Hearing that if the lawsuit was successful, the Prince Consort would die, Qin Xianglian knew that it was impossible for Chen Shimei to return to her, so she decided to take her children back to her hometown alone. However, Chen Shimei actually

"You beast, you actually sent people to hunt down your own wife and children!"

"Chen Shimei, Chen Shimei, you are not worthy of being a human being!"

The very first episode aroused the anger of TV viewers across Hong Kong. As the plot unfolded step by step, ATV's ratings soared!

A few days later.

Almost all the people in Hong Kong are discussing "Bao Qingtian", and during that time ATV's ratings reached 60%, which also drove the entire ATV's ratings to over 40%.

For a time, it was evenly matched with TVB in drama series.

Since Shu-Yi Chow came to power, ATV has increased a lot of funding, filming 20 TV series and TVB rushes every year. There have also been hits such as "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen". Of course, the biggest hit is "Bao Qingtian", which received enthusiastic response as soon as it was released. The ratings have been rising steadily, and the ratings of the entire TV station have soared.

In the program (variety show), Shu-yi Chow initially created the "Third Theater" during the broadcast period of "Happy Tonight", specializing in intense and exciting films with a strong smell of human medicine and blood, making "Happy Tonight" Bits and pieces.

TVB.

Run Run Shaw's chairman of the board of directors was already restless before he could take his seat. He knew very well how powerful Lin Zhichao was. Jiahe was an example back then.

Nowadays, ATV seems to be run by Shuyi, but Run Run Shaw understands that no matter how powerful Shuyi is, she can't "use drugs so hard." Only with Lin Zhichao at the helm, ATV's strong medicine came one after another.

"Don't be anxious! It's impossible to make a profit with ATV's investment. As time goes by, Lin Zhichao will no longer care about the TV station!"

Run Run Shaw comforted himself in this way.

He knows very well that his opponent is no one else. It would be disadvantageous for TVB to join in the money-burning war because the opponent is Lin Zhichao. But if ATV continues to be unable to make a profit, even if Lin Zhichao is rich, he will not be able to continue playing. Then Shuyi Zhou will naturally have to step down.

Asia Television.

Lin Zhichao sat in the office and listened to Zhou Liangshuyi's work report.

This year is a successful year for ATV, which is to stabilize the ratings above 40%.

"Well, ATV has entered an explosive period. We will use martial arts dramas such as Liang Yusheng and Gu Long to compete with TVB's Jin Yong martial arts dramas. We will also shoot "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of White Snake" next year. As a Qibing variety show, we There will also be "Prize Men" and "Comedian Saves the Earth" soon. The first edition of Miss Asia also spent a huge amount of 6 million Hong Kong dollars to hold." Lin Zhichao commented.

Zhou Liangshuyi said: "The boss's methods are clever, otherwise I will only be able to get ATV to reach a ratings of 30%."

It's more than 10% higher, but it's even more difficult.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I understand your contribution, there is no need to be modest. Just because you are familiar with TVB and always keep an eye on artists who are frustrated or whose contracts are about to expire, you have already made them miserable. Yes. Yes, Wang Mingquan remembers to recruit her, I will ask her to film a fashion drama later."

Zhou Liang Shuyi asked curiously: "Fashion drama?"

At this time, there was no such thing, so Lin Zhichao simply said: "It's just a bloody drama about business wars and wealthy families. We'll talk about this in two years!"

The entire ATV program in the 1980s was, of course, plagiarizing the classic Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas from the 1980s and 1990s. By the 1990s, it was time to copy works from all over the world.

"Okay. ATV's development is good, but the losses have been serious!" Zhou Liangshuyi said cautiously.

Lin Zhichao said: "I have understood this for a long time. In fact, I am looking for you to make you what you are now. But I also know that with your style, it is actually difficult for ATV to make profits in a short time. However, the media The group can afford it, so don’t worry.”

Zhou Liang Shuyi was in a good mood immediately and said: "Thank you, boss, for your understanding!"

In fact, Lin Zhichao knows that it is difficult for Shuyi Zhou to make ATV make money, but he will intervene in the future and there are many ways for ATV to make money. He now needs Shuyi Zhou to make ATV's ratings 50-50 higher than those of TVB.

By the mid-1980s, it was time for Lin Zhi to surpass his ultimate skill, and then he would really make money.

What's more, how much money can be made in Hong Kong? In the previous life in 2007, Wireless was the dominant player, with a yearly profit of only 1 billion. At present, TVB's profits are only over 100 million.

Lin Zhichao's vision is the whole world!
