Chapter 215 Wireless Equity Distribution(1/2)

Since its launch in 1967, the development of TVB has been smooth sailing. Within two years, the ratings have been catching up with the Lite TVB, which has been nearly ten years earlier than TVB.

Now wireless ratings have stabilized on the one hand of Li's TV station. No matter how many times Li's TV stations have changed, it has always been a challenger.

Even later, because of poor management, Lide, who was renamed Asian TV, declared bankruptcy, which made people sigh.

However, the TVB has always been a long-lasting viewership, and has even been sent to the stock market, making the better and better.

Many people in the mainland, including 1980s and 1990s and even some post-2000s, grew up watching Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong dramas, so we always have the filter bonus of sentiment towards those Hong Kong stars.

Needless to say, Hong Kong movies were blooming at that time, but Hong Kong dramas generally refer to TV series produced by TVB.

Although ATV also has several very classic TV series, it has been weak afterwards. It is not like wireless that can produce classic hit TV series in succession, so there was a brand called wireless TV series later.

It is conceivable how deeply it is in the hearts of the people.

Lei Yunrong’s current media layout is now missing a TV station.

As for the Jiayi TV station it acquired before, it has inherent shortcomings. In addition, it only has one channel and has been transformed into a TV station focusing on movies and animation by Lei Yunrong. The audience ceiling is very obvious.

Today's DreamWorks TV is not so much a TV station as a channel.

Therefore, if Lei Yunrong wants to become a giant in the media industry in Xiangjiang and make his layout more perfect, it is essential to win one of the two TV stations in Xiangjiang.

In fact, Lei Yunrong had an attempt at TV stations for a long time, but Chinese capital had not yet risen at that time, and Lei Yunrong had insufficient influence at that time. With the Hong Kong government's strict defense against TV media, he had no chance at that time.

Lei Yunrong had a lot of twists and turns to be able to win Jiayi TV, and even almost met the Hong Kong government. It was when Lei Yunrong had just won the Hutchison Whampoa.

So at that time, Lei Yunrong was considering waiting for a while. In history, the two TV stations of Wireless and Li changed hands one after another in the early 1980s. Wireless entered the Shao Daheng era in the 1980s, and Lidi also entered the Qiu Degen era in the early 1980s.

At that time, Lei Yunrong thought about waiting until this period to see if he had a chance to win one of them.

Lei Yunrong's initial idea was to take Li's TV station as his target. After all, afterwards, Shao Daheng was almost considered a symbol of wireless, and their relationship was too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But by chance, Lei Yunrong and Li Yunyun became husband and wife, which made him closely related to the Li family. Li Yunyun's uncle Li Xiaohe happened to be the founder of Wireless and has served as the chairman of Wireless for twelve years.

When Lei Yunrong came to this era, he also learned that at this time, Shaw Tycoon rarely interfered in the operation of the TVB station, but only acted as a shareholder for investment dividends. His main energy was still on Shaw Film Company.

So Tycoon Shao’s influence on wireless is now average, which has greatly increased Lei Yunrong’s interest in wireless.

Now that he has such a relationship with the Li family, Mrs. Li Lu Yanqun has no reason to sell the shares to an outsider instead of him, her own person.

But Lei Yunrong also knew that TVB was Li Xiaohe’s most important career. He came to buy it rashly, but people would definitely not agree, and it seemed very impolite.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong has been waiting for the opportunity, but he didn't expect that Lei Yunrong has been busy with other careers and gradually forgot about this matter. Now it has been 1979 and has not yet remembered this matter.

If it weren't for Lao Dou Lei Juehua's mention today, Lei Yunrong might really be caught off guard by then.

Thinking of this, Lei Yunrong couldn't help but ask:

"Dad, is Uncle Li's disease difficult to cure?"

"I don't know very well what exactly is going on, but I think your father-in-law has been frowning recently, which is more difficult."

"Why don't you go to the hospital in America? The medical level there is much better than that in Hong Kong."

"How could it be that I didn't go? But Ameriga was also helpless about Xiaohe's illness, so he had to go back to Xiangjiang to rest."

"Then I can only watch the condition worsens?"

"There is any solution now? You can only take conservative treatment in the hospital to see if you can delay the aggravation of the disease. Now Mrs. Le is asking God for medicine."

"So, if you really have an idea about a TVB station, you still have to prepare."

"Dad, will it be bad to plan someone's home business in this situation? No matter what, he is Xiao Yun's biological uncle."

"Don't have too much psychological burden. I heard from your father-in-law that your Uncle Li's son and daughter are not interested in TVB. Maybe Xiaohe may be worried about TVB finding a successor for TVB."

"But at the beginning of this matter, you should not come forward directly. You can ask your father-in-law first, so he will speak better."

"I understand Dad."

Lei Yunrong stayed with Lei Juehua for a while before going back to rest.

The next morning, Lei Yunrong came to Hutchison Whampoa Company again.

Although Lei Yunrong has arranged the matters of Hutchison Wong, it is not just about letting go. He will need to come here to stay for a long time in the future until he can completely control the company.

So Lei Yunrong directly occupied Wei Li's senior office and acted as his office in Hutchison Whampoa Company.

This old boy Wei Li may have been used to enjoying it in order to demonstrate his authority. In addition to the fact that Lei Yunrong's office is not as large as the office in the Glory Gemini Building, his office is far more luxurious than that.

Lei Yunrong did not make any big moves, but just changed some Western aesthetic decorations and used them directly.

As for Wei Li, Hutchison Building is so big, it is easy to find another office.

After arriving at the office, Lei Yunrong called Wei Li immediately.

"Lei Sheng, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I want to know something about it from you."

Lei Yunrong did not pause and continued:

"Last time I heard you talk about the situation of Hutchison Whampoa Company, I may not have noticed something. Is our Hutchison Whampoa Group also a shareholder of TVB?"

"Yes, it is not only the shareholder of Wireless, but also the second largest shareholder of Wireless TV Station, and its shares are second only to Wireless Chairman Li Xiaohe."

“How many are there?”

“Twenty-two-four percent.”

"so much?"

"We Hutchison Whampoa are one of the founders of Wireless. We don't have many shares in this small amount, right?"

Before, Lei Yunrong vaguely remembered that Hutchison Whampoa was also a shareholder of TVB. However, at that time, he was stunned by Hutchison's other huge assets. In addition, Wei Li didn't pay attention to this wireless shares and just mentioned it, so Lei Yunrong didn't remember it in his heart.

Last night, I talked to Laodou Lei Juehua about TVB and remembered this incident a little, so I came here early this morning to learn about the situation with Wei Li.

But Lei Yunrong did not expect that Hutchison Whampoa Mobile had so many wireless shares.

"You know a lot about this?"

"It's not that I understand it very much, I just heard it a little."

"Then tell me."

Although Wei Li didn't know why Lei Yunrong was suddenly interested in TVB, he still told Lei Yunrong about some of the things he knew.

"The TVB was initiated by Rikhya at that time, but the competition for TV licenses was fierce at that time, and a total of six consortiums competed."

"So Ri Hyo-wa approached Qi Dezun, and the two joined forces to get this free TV license."

"Later, in order to make the newly launched TV station run normally, Li Xiaohe found Shao Daheng, who was a movie, to invest in the shares. I wonder if the Hong Kong government was worried, so I brought HSBC and Jardine Mahjong Group in. With the joint efforts of these companies, the TVB started broadcasting successfully."

"You mean there are five shareholders of the TVB station now, in addition to us, Uncle Huang and Li, Daheng Shao, and Jardine & HSBC?"

"That's right."

"Do you know their specific share division?"

“Mr. Li Hyo-Hao, as the promoter and operator, has the largest shares, up to 37%, and then we and Huang have 22.4%.

"HSBC and Jardines Group each account for 16%, with Tycoon Shao at the least, only 8.6%.

"When I first watched the TVB station broadcast, Daheng Shao supported the manpower. Later, Shaw Brothers and Wireless jointly organized the wireless training class. In addition, Miss Xiangjiang was also proposed by Daheng Shao. Why did he have so few wireless shares?" Lei Yunrong asked.

"The reason why Shaw Tyung participated in the establishment of the TVB was mainly at the invitation of Mr. Li Xiaohe. In fact, Shaw Tyung's film career was booming at that time, and he didn't look down on the TVB, so he helped him out because of his affection."

"But now that the TVB station is getting better and better, Daheng Shao seems to pay more and more attention to it. Last year, he asked if the wireless shares in our hands were interested in taking action, and he was willing to take over."

Hearing Wei Li's words, Lei Yunrong was slightly shocked and confirmed again:

"Tycoon Shao wanted to acquire the wireless shares in He Huang's hands last year?"

"That's right."

"Why didn't you sell it at that time?"

"He could see that Wireless shares are becoming more and more valuable, how could I not see that? And he probably saw that we and Huang were in a difficult time, and the price they offered was not sincere at all, so I was too lazy to pay attention to him."

Lei Yunrong didn't know whether Shao Daheng had bought Wireless shares from Hebei Huang in history, because of his butterfly effect, he asked Shao Daheng to do so.

But no matter what, it can be seen that Tycoon Shao has now thought about TVB.

If Tycoon Shao had long had an idea about TVB, it would not be surprising that he would do so.

With Shao's eyes, you can definitely see Lei Yunrong's layout in the media industry, and you can definitely see Lei Yunrong's intentions for the TV station at a glance.

Now Lei Yunrong is in-laws with the Li family again. If he and Lei Yunrong come to buy the shares in Li Xiaohe, he will definitely give priority to Lei Yunrong.

Daheng Shao knew Lei Yunrong a little, and knew that he would definitely not miss this opportunity to join the TVB station, so Daheng Shao took the initiative.

I just don’t know if the shares in HSBC and Jardine Group were sold to Shao Daheng. Now that Lei Yunrong has acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he should definitely speed up this speed, not to mention that Li Xiaohe is sick again at this time.

"Very good, fortunately you ignored him at that time, otherwise I would be very tricky now."

"Lei Sheng, do you want to acquire TVB?"

Lei Yunrong said with a smile:

"Wei Li, although we only have a one-year cooperation agreement, you don't have to hide your weakness. I don't believe that I asked you for a long time before, you will not be able to guess my purpose."

Wei Li didn't care about Lei Yunrong's words and continued:
To be continued...
