"Mr. Liang, have you ever supervised the production of such large-scale live programs when you were at Wireless?" Zhou Hao asked with a smile to Liang Jiashu, who was dressed in formal clothes.
Liang Jiashu also smiled and replied: "I tried to produce the Taiwan celebration in 1993, but for a large-scale live program like this, two or three producers are usually responsible. After all, this kind of program is directly related to the image of the entire wireless network.
You can't go wrong with your reputation. There was once a producer who made a mistake in a live program like this and was immediately fired by Run Run Shaw afterwards. He was unable to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong television industry."
"Your sixth uncle is really ruthless. If you don't give up on dismissing someone, you will directly kill their future."
Liang Jiashu shrugged: "If he was the kind of person who misses old feelings, he wouldn't let me be ostracized."
"Xiaohao, are you here too?"
Two men and two women came to Zhou Hao at this time, but they were two couples, Zeng Yingquan and Zeng Yingpei. They were both wearing very formal suits, and Zeng Yingquan was also wearing a dignified bow tie as always.
"Uncle Quan, Uncle Pei." Zhou Hao greeted the two with a smile: "Are you here on behalf of the government?"
Zeng Yingquan nodded: "As for charity, our Hong Kong government is very supportive. Because Chief Executive Dong has official business to attend to and cannot come in person, we sent two brothers to attend on behalf of the government."
Zeng Yingpei looked at Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing beside Zhou Hao, and said with a smile: "You two have attracted much attention over the past year. One is the new queen of the Hong Kong TV Festival who leads ATV and caught TVB off guard, and the other is a popular
Asia’s big star.”
Su Lin, Liang Xiaobing knew the status of the Zeng family in Hong Kong, and the two brothers Zeng Yingquan and Zeng Yingpei were also very good to them, so they often visited the Zeng family to get closer and open up connections in Hong Kong for Zhou Hao. The wives of the Zeng brothers
Zeng Bao Aijing and Zeng Mingjieying came over and took Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing away to chat quietly.
"Xiao Hao, since ATV was acquired by you, it has been very fierce with Sir Shao's TVB." Zeng Yingquan said to Zhou Hao: "The TV industry in Hong Kong has indeed been monopolized by TVB for too long. ATV can rise and
Competing with it is a good thing. Competition promotes development. But
, I still hope that the competition between you can be as peaceful as possible and not engage in vicious competition. Moreover, Sir Shao has deep roots in Hong Kong, and his status in society is rarely matched by others. People in the political and business circles are very interested in it.
He respects you very much. If you push too far, it will not be a good thing after all."
Zhou Hao understood that Zeng Yingquan was sincerely concerned about him, but he also knew that the grudge between him and Run Run Shaw was irresolvable. What's more, even if he didn't move, Run Run Shaw would never let go of his competitor.
, the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, this is particularly fierce in the Hong Kong television industry. If you take a step back, your opponent will take a step forward. There is no mercy at all.
So Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Quan for your concern, but Uncle Quan and Uncle Pei, you should also know what Run Run Shao is like. Even if I give in, will he give up? Moreover, you should know Su Lin's personality. Since she
Since I took charge of ATV, the competition between ATV and TVB has always been fair and aboveboard, but on the contrary, TVB, hehehehe..."
Zeng Yingquan and Zeng Yingpei looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zhou Hao was right. Run Run Shaw had never been merciless to his competitors. This was the case with "Jiahe" and "New Art City" in the past, and it was the same with ATV in Lin Boxin's era. Now Zhou Hao is in charge.
host
Of course, ATV is no exception. And they all know that ATV, managed by Su Lin, has an upright style of doing things and has a very good reputation in the industry. On the contrary, TVB has been making small moves since the rise of ATV.
Zeng Yingpei patted Zhou Hao on the shoulder: "Anyway, you just have to control yourself. We don't mean to be peacemakers for you, but the power of the media cannot be underestimated. If you push Wireless into a panic, there is no guarantee that they will not jump over the wall.
.You also know that Hong Kong has only returned to the motherland for a year, and the most important thing is stability. This is a major principle set by the central government and no one can violate it."
Another meaning he meant was to tell Zhou Hao to put the overall situation first, otherwise he would anger the central government and no one would get any good results.
"Now that you know Uncle Pei, can you still not trust Xiao Hao?" Zhou Hao said with a smile.
"That's alright. Although you are young, you are reliable in getting things done. We two old guys won't say more." Zeng Yingpei smiled and said, "By the way, General Lu also wanted to come over tonight.
, but I was afraid that it would arouse unnecessary speculation from others, so I didn’t come. He actually asked me to tell you to come over to his place when you have time. He hasn’t had a drink with you for a long time.”
Zhou Hao smiled and nodded: "Definitely, definitely, I'm afraid that old drunkard doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he will be embarrassed if he gets me drunk."
Zeng Yingquan and Zeng Yingpei laughed, looked at Zhou Hao with admiration, and walked away to socialize with other celebrities.
As soon as they left, Xiang Huaqiang, Ni Yongxiao and An Longji, the leaders of the three major social groups in Hong Kong, came over. They were all in suits and ties like Zeng Yingquan and the others. They didn't look like gang bosses at all, especially those who graduated from MIT.
An Longji, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, is a highly educated person. People who don't know the inside story can hardly imagine that he is the top leader of the 14th K.
Regarding these Hong Kong underworld giants, Zhou Hao was not as particular as Zeng Yingquan and the others. He directly punched Ni Yongxiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You big evil people also want to do good deeds?"
Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile: "What you said is wrong. We have done too many murders and arson, so we have to do some good things like repairing bridges and roads."
"That's right, our club also has a special charity fund." An Longji said with a smile: "But we don't dare to compare with you in terms of generosity. It's not easy for us to make money. All we earn is hard-earned money. How can we compare with you?
Ah, it’s so stressful to change hands for hundreds of millions or billions, we are so envious of us.”
The Galaxy Investment Company under Zhou Hao now not only provides his personal services, but also provides investment services to acquaintances who have friendship with Zhou Hao, such as the Zhao family, Lu Zhenwu, Zeng Yingquan, Zeng Yingpei, and now Ni Yongxiao, Xiang Huaqiang,
An Longji and others. Because the investments of Galaxy Investment Company are all legal, they decided for Lu Zhenwu and
The Zeng family's investment can not only help them make money, but no one can say anything. And Ni Yongxiao and the others are now "patriotic gangsters" who have been "recruited" by the central government. Ni Yongxiao has a close relationship with Zhou Hao personally. However, they invest
The money that went to "Galaxy" was all legal funds transferred from regular companies, and Zhou Hao would not be stupid enough to drop a stone on himself.
Putting money into "Galaxy" to invest, the risk is smaller than other investment consulting companies, and the return is higher than them, so Xiang Huaqiang and An Longji admire Zhou Hao, and because of their cooperation with "Galaxy", they
Everyone knows to some extent that "Galaxy" has an incredible ability to make money.
Zhou Hao was chatting and laughing with the three underworld leaders, but Liang Jiashu, who was standing behind him, remained silent. Just now he saw that the Financial Secretary and the Deputy Commissioner of the Police were so close to Zhou Hao, and he was extremely shocked. And Xiang Huaqiang
These three leading figures were more intimidating to people in the entertainment industry than the first, and Liang Jiashu was even more surprised, especially when he found that Xiang Huaqiang and An Longji, in addition to being affectionate towards Zhou Hao, were also respectful.
Liang Jiashu, who stood silently behind and did not dare to speak, guessed in his heart: Who is our boss? He is simply a black and white man.
"By the way, fifth brother, do you know why that old man Run Run Shaw suddenly held this charity party?" Zhou Hao asked Xiang Huaqiang: "That guy never does anything without a purpose, and this party almost brought everyone in Hong Kong to
Celebrities are all here, so he must have some purpose."
"Of course." Ni Yong, the school representative, Xiang Huaqiang said: "I heard that the old guy has been running to the chief executive's house during this period, and has frequently expressed his goodwill to the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. I'm afraid he wants to make some big move. Now you
The ATV fights with him so fiercely, so be careful if he targets you."
Zhou Hao just smiled at this. It would be fine if Run Run Shaw had an open fight with him in the television industry. But if he wanted to deal with him through politics, he would definitely have made a wrong calculation. In terms of political power,
, Zhou Hao is not afraid of Run Run Shaw at all.
Xiang Huaqiang said: "I heard a little bit about it. It seems that Run Run Shaw wants to set up some kind of fund to reward those who have made significant contributions to science, just like the Nobel Prize, and the prize money is no less than the Nobel Prize.
His enthusiastic relationship with the chief executive and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office should be just for this matter, hoping to get support from the SAR government and even the central government."
Zhou Hao touched his chin, and an idea flashed in his mind, remembering the very famous "Shaw Award" in his previous life.
However, in Zhou Hao's previous life, the "Shaw Award" only officially appeared around 2003, and Shaw is starting to take action now, although it is not ruled out that the "Shaw Award" in the previous life may also have started very early.
We started to prepare, but it is more likely that the "Shaw Award" appeared in advance because of the rapid rise of ATV under Zhou Hao's intervention, which posed a huge threat to Wireless.
Because after the emergence of the "Shaw Award" in the previous life, it won a lot of praise and reputation for Shaw personally and for TVB, and its international image and status rose rapidly. The "Shaw Award" was even known as the Nobel Prize of the East.
