C647 Not Knowing When to Advance and When to Retreat
In fact, ever since Lin Baixin sold all the shares of the Asia Television Limited that he owned, many people in Hong Kong started to pay attention to the organization or people who bought over the Asia Television Limited.
What most people knew was that the person who bought over the entire Asia Television Limited was a newly established media company in the country called "North Pole Star. "
As the number one competitor of the Asia Television Limited, every time the Asia Television Limited changed owners, Wireless would pay close attention to them. This time was no exception.
Especially after the reorganization of the Asia Television Limited, they had shown their powerful strength. They had beaten Wireless until he was badly battered at the beginning. Shao Yifu and his wife paid more attention to that company called "North Pole Star. "
Although Shao Yifu had started to focus on making connections in the country before he returned from Hong Kong, up until now.
He could only rely on the Wireless Television Limited's coverage in the Pearl Triangle region of China to establish a preliminary friendship with the people here. As for the north, he was temporarily powerless.
Through his friends in the country, Shao Yifu learned that "North Pole Star" was a large media company. The field that it set foot in covered all aspects of entertainment media, including television, movies, records and magazines and even the newly developed network.
Apart from the Asia Television Limited, it also owned a large satellite TV - Galaxy Television, and 40% of the shares in Heng Dian Film and Television City. It was the second largest shareholder in Heng Dian other than Heng Store Group.
At first, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua suspected that this "North Pole Star" that had suddenly appeared was a state-owned enterprise. Because the central government had very strict control over public opinion media, there was no room for private television stations to survive.
However, a British friend Shao Yifu knew who had taken up a high position in Government of Hong Kong before he returned told him that "North Pole Star" was a joint venture, and the shares were held by three companies.
The first company was China's Great Wall Industrial Company, which accounted for 25%. The second was America's Glycus Trading Company, which accounted for 35%. The third was an investment company called "Galaxy," which accounted for 40%.
The British did not know much about Glycus Trading Company and Galaxy Investment Industrial Company, but they were very familiar with China's Great Wall Industrial Company.
This was because it was a very important military company in China in terms of aerospace and rockets. It also held a very important position in the international arms market.
In other words, although "Polar North" could be considered a private company, it also had a national component, and its official background was extremely deep.
"What about this Zhou Hao? What role did he play in it? Is he from the Central Government or those two private companies? "
Fang Yihua kept guessing as she looked at the tall and handsome Zhou Hao in front of her. She felt that the most likely possibility was that Zhou Hao was the son of a great figure in the Central Government, the so-called "Crown Prince Party. "
Thinking of Zhou Hao's possible identity, Fang Yihua's face gradually darkened.
She thought in her heart, "We clearly went to the central government to discuss with those leaders before we returned. We can continue to develop according to our own wishes after we return, and the central government will not interfere too much. But why is the central government controlling the Asia Television Limited to suppress us now?
Are they really going to control Hong Kong's opinions?"
Fang Yihua's jumping thinking made her think very far away, and Zhou Hao and Su Lin naturally did not know about this.
The shares of "North Pole Star" were indeed divided into three parts, but the American Glycus Trading Company was actually a puppet company that Zhou Hao used "Galaxy" to register in the United States, so Zhou Hao had 70% of the shares of "North Pole Star. "
As for the 25% that Great Wall Industrial Company held, Zhou Hao had taken the initiative to give it to them. Because according to domestic policies, it was very difficult for civil television stations to develop.
That was why Zhou Hao specially divided the shares into three parts under Zhao Yuqin's suggestion: Great Wall Industrial Company, local private enterprise (Galaxy Investment), and foreign capital (Glycus) to obtain a relatively preferential policy. It also allowed Galaxy Satellite TV to finally obtain the right to land in the country.
Furthermore, Great Wall Industrial Group was a military company just like Paulie Group. Moreover, Great Wall Industrial Group was different from Paulie Group. The military had a much stricter control over it. After all, she was producing sensitive aerospace technology.
And in the Great Wall Industrial Corporation, the Zhao Family faction was the biggest leading force. Therefore, 25% of the shares in "North Pole Star" was no different from giving it to the Zhao Family.
Ignoring Fang Yihua's random thoughts, Zhou Hao apologized and left. Maybe it was because he had drunk some drinks just now, but he was a little anxious now.
Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing naturally would not follow him to the men's restroom, so they stayed at the venue to socialize with the celebrities from all walks of life.
Maybe it was because they often held this kind of high class gala, but the toilets in the wireless studio number one were very luxurious and could be compared to the ones in five-star hotels.
Zhou Hao walked into one of the cells and settled it. Just as he was halfway there, he heard people coming in from outside. Judging from the footsteps, it should be two people.
"These Chinaman are so damn troublesome. We have always played impromptu songs, but now they want us to play according to their list. How boring. "
One of them cursed in English. At the same time, there was the sound of water flowing. He was clearly pissing.
Zhou Hao, who was in the toilet, felt that the voice was very familiar. He recalled it a little and remembered that it was the lead singer of the music group he met on the plane - Jonathan's voice.
However, he had talked to him in broken Mandarin at that time, so Zhou Hao was not used to hearing him speak English now.
"Stop complaining. Just bear with it for a while. This television station spent a lot of money to invite us to perform. If we offend them, the company will not let us off. "
The other person spoke in English too, but his voice was calmer than Jonathan's. He could tell that this person was good at controlling his emotions.
Jonathan said, "William, you are the drummer in our band. You should be the most passionate. Why don't you have any anger, bookworm? This is not our rock and roll style.
I just got myself a female celebrity. Her name seems to be Flora. She is the actress from the television station that invited us to perform. Although she isn't very beautiful, she is very coquettish.
Do you want me to let her give you joy? I guarantee that you'll be able to ignite your anger. " After saying that, Jonathan started laughing lewdly.
The one called William said, "You've only been in Hong Kong for a day and you've already hooked up with him. You're indeed worthy of being our band's' artiste hunter '.
However, I appreciate your good intentions. I still like to do it myself. Oh right, Didn't you tell us before that you like that female singer called Vivian? Why are you messing with someone else now?"
"I'm only using that Flora to quench my thirst. It's a one-time use item that can be discarded after it's used up. " Jonathan did not care and said, "Vivian is my ultimate goal. Did you see her just now?
Tsk tsk, as expected of Vivian. She is much more beautiful in real life than in the mirror. Especially that kind of style. I can't stand it when I see it from afar. I really don't dare to think about how I will make her fall in love with me. "
"I think she has a man by her side. Could he be her boyfriend?"
Jonathan said disdainfully. "I think he is just an old man with a stinky body. Even if he is Vivian's boyfriend, I don't believe that with Jonathan's charm, I can't take him away from me. "
After washing his hands, Jonathan and William left. Zhou Hao just came out of the toilet. He had a bitter smile on his face, thinking that this Jonathan really did not know when to advance and when to retreat.
When he returned to the venue, the gala hadn't officially started yet. Those famous giants were still chatting in groups of three to five.
Although there were many socialites and artistes at the gala, and they were all dressed up in fancy fashion, their appearance and temperament could not be compared to Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing.
Su Lin Liang Xiaobing's evening dress was simple and generous, perhaps in terms of extravagance. It could not be compared to others. But when they wore it, it could display the most beautiful side, making them the most eye-catching beauties in the audience. Although many of the people present did not go forward to chat with them, they kept peeking at them.
When Zhou Hao came out, he saw two foreign men in front of Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing. They were indeed Jonathan, and the other one should be William, who was in the toilet. Beside Jonathan stood a tall and slim woman from China.
"He really found Xiaobing. " Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled. He walked over.
Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing were both very good at English. Even if Jonathan did not know how to speak Mandarin, it would not be a problem for them to communicate.
When Zhou Hao walked over, Jonathan was praising Liang Xiaobing's beauty. This fellow had been living in flowers for a long time and his mouth skills were very good. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was glib-tongued.
Those flowery words came out of his mouth. However, Liang Xiaobing had always maintained a reserved and polite face with a smile. She was completely immune to Jonathan's tricks of deceiving girls.
William looked to be around 30 years old. He was taller than Jonathan, and his facial features were not that delicate. He was a little rough, and his blue pupils had a profound taste. He should be around 30 years old. He should be the kind of person who had experienced a lot.
He did not say anything like Jonathan. Instead, he elegantly chatted with Su Lin. He was like a gentleman in Bin Bin.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
"Hao, you're back?" Liang Xiaobing's smile immediately became brighter when she saw Zhou Hao. It was completely different from the smile she had when she faced Jonathan.
