Chapter 97 It’s time to take down Jiashi
From the charter king, Sioux City learned a lot about the oil industry.
This also made his next plan more perfect.
In the evening, Su City received a phone call from Governor Mailihao himself.
During the phone call, Mai Lihao told Su City that after discussions with the Television Information Committee, Su City could agree that if Su City acquires Jiayi TV, the Xiangjiang government can allow Su City to add Jiayi TV channels based on Jiayi's current TV channels.
Add a Chinese TV channel, but one of the channels must broadcast educational programs as usual.
Su Cheng readily agreed to this, and the request should not be too excessive, but should be done in moderation.
Two TV channels are enough for the time being.
After Su Cheng thought about it, since educational programs must be retained, the additional TV channels cannot be wasted and must be utilized.
Currently, Hong Kong TV stations do not have children’s channels.
He considered turning the TV station into a professional children's channel, focusing on attracting children.
Cartoons can be played outside of educational programs.
As for educational programs, Su Cheng also has ideas.
Such as "Where Are We Going, Dad", "First Time in Life", "Super Parent", "Mom is Superman", etc. Aren't these educational programs?
The audience for these educational variety shows is not limited to children, even adults also like to watch them.
Maybe the ratings will perform well by then.
As a result, the children's channel will have a large fan base, and businesses that produce children's products will naturally come to advertise.
As for the original Jiayi TV Station, Su City will let it compete with TVB and Li's TV Station.
At that time, Xiangjiang's TV stations will once again briefly form a three-legged situation.
And Su Cheng is the one who broke this situation.
He will make Jiayi TV surpass the other two TV stations in one fell swoop and firmly grasp the ratings, so that it can play a very good role in developing the entertainment industry and controlling public opinion.
The TV station does not make huge profits, and Suzhou City has no extravagant expectations of how much money it can make for itself, but the role of the TV station is very huge.
However, it is still early to say this, because Sioux City has not yet won Jiashi.
It’s time to take down Jiashi.
In fact, he can wait until Jiashi goes bankrupt before stepping forward to take Jiashi for his own use.
At that time, he only needs to pay the wages owed to his artists, and he will be able to fully control Jiashi.
However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, if you wait until Jiashi goes bankrupt to come forward, many of Jiashi's employees by then have already been recruited by TVB and Li.
Including Liang Shuyi, Ye Jiexin, Liu Tianci, Lu Guozhan, Lin Xuhua, and Shi Shaoming, they are collectively known as the "Jiashi Six Gentlemen".
Su Cheng doesn’t want Jiashi to lose them.
You know, after the six of them parted ways, each of them became a unique figure in the electronic media industry in Hong Kong.
This shows that their abilities are very great.
According to the original historical trend, the reason for the collapse of Jiashi cannot be blamed on these six people at all, but is caused by multiple reasons.
How could Jiashi establish a tripartite situation among TV stations in Hong Kong in such a short period of time? It can be said that without the Six Gentlemen, it would have been difficult to achieve this short-lived glory.
In addition, Jiashi TV has many potential artists, such as Mi Xue, Zheng Yulin, Chen Huiming, etc.
Even the famous director Xu Ke was working for Jiashi at this time.
If they had waited until the TV station went bankrupt, they would have already switched jobs to the other two TV stations.
Therefore, since the Governor's Mansion has agreed, it is time to take down Jiashi.
As far as Su Cheng knows, there were six original shareholders of Jiashi, but now there is actually only one major shareholder, and that is Lin Xiufeng of the Lin family.
In addition to the Lin family, the other five shareholders are Jardine Matheson, Heung Kong Commercial Radio, and three Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong - "Sing Tao Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily" and "Business Daily".
Originally, the Lin family was not the major shareholder of Jiashi TV, but He Zuozhi, the founder of commercial radio.
However, after one year of running Jiashi, He Zuozhi discovered the shortcomings of Jiashi and it was difficult to make a profit, so he cleverly sold all the shares directly to the Lin family.
After the Lin family took control of Jiashi, they continued to increase their capital investment, resulting in less and less equity held by other shareholders, ultimately leading to the current situation in which the Lin family dominates Jiashi.
Therefore, the key person Su City is looking for now is Lin Xiufeng of the Lin family.
As long as we reach an agreement with him, Jiashi will be obtained.
It’s very easy to find Lin Xiufeng’s contact information.
The Lin family is also an old wealthy family in Hong Kong. Lin Xiufeng's father is Lin Bingyan, the founder and first chairman of Hengsheng Bank. However, the Lin family is not as glorious as it was in Hong Kong.
Even so, Lin Bingyan's descendants live a very nourishing life.
Lin Xiufeng is also a well-known businessman in Xiangjiang and the actual leader of the Bai Ningshun Group. Through inquiries, Su Cheng quickly obtained his contact information.
"Hello, who's there?" The voice on the phone was that of a middle-aged and elderly man.
"Is this Mr. Lin from Bai Ning Shun Group? I am Su Cheng from Hutchison Whampoa." Su Cheng reported his family name directly.
"It turns out it's Mr. Su. Mr. Su came to see me personally. Is there something wrong?" Lin Xiufeng said in surprise.
Su Cheng, this is a very popular figure in Hong Kong today.
What is there to do with such a person?
Lin Xiufeng began to think, because he had never dealt with Su Cheng before.
Although Xiangjiang is small, the business community in Xiangjiang is very large. Even if there is no business relationship between two large companies, it is very normal.
"I don't know if Mr. Lin is free tomorrow. I want to visit Mr. Lin." Su Cheng said directly.
"Mr. Su makes an appointment. Of course I'm free. I'll be at the Park Ning Shun Group Building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon tomorrow. I welcome Mr. Su at any time." Lin Xiufeng said immediately after hearing this.
Even though he didn't know what Su Cheng was asking him to do, Lin Xiufeng knew that for a person of Su Cheng's status, he had to give face.
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go directly to you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Su Cheng said with a smile.
After putting down the phone, Lin Xiufeng still looked confused as to what Su Cheng wanted to do with him.
Although the Ning Baishun Group Building cannot compete with the top companies in Xiangjiang, it is still relatively strong in the Chinese business circle, at least much more powerful than the Su Group.
Prior to this, the Lin family and the Su Group had never had any business dealings, and at most they had only heard of each other's names.
Today, Lin Xiufeng is still annoyed by Jiashi's trivial matters.
Therefore, he is not very interested in meeting Su Cheng.
It’s just to save face for this newly rising super rich man.
Ever since he took control of Jiayi TV, Lin Xiufeng felt that he had never had a good time.
