Fang Yihua was thinking about the information about the company behind Asia Television, and she knew more or less about it.
In fact, since Lin Boxin sold all his shares in ATV, many people in Hong Kong have begun to pay attention to what organization or person will ultimately acquire ATV. What most people know is that the whole company
The person who funded the acquisition of Asia Television was a newly established domestic media group called "Polaris".
As ATV's number one competitor, TVB will pay close attention to every change of ownership of ATV, and this time is no exception. Especially after ATV's reorganization, it has shown great strength and has overwhelmed TVB from the very beginning. The Shaw couple
I paid more attention to the company called "Polaris".
Although Run Run Shaw began to focus on opening up his contacts in China before Hong Kong's return, so far, he has only been able to establish preliminary friendships with people here by relying on TVB's coverage in the Pearl River Delta region of China. As for more details,
To the north, there was nothing he could do for the time being.
Through friends in China, Run Run Shaw learned that "Polaris" is a large media group that covers all aspects of entertainment media, including television, movies, records, magazines, newspapers and even the emerging Internet. In addition to owning ATV
In addition, there is also a large TV station, Galaxy Satellite TV, which owns 40% of the shares of Hengdian Film and Television City. It is the second largest shareholder of Hengdian Film and Television City after Hengdian Group.
At first, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua suspected that this suddenly appeared "Polaris" was a state-owned enterprise owned by the state. Because the central government has very strict control over public opinion media, there is no room for private TV stations to survive.
However, a British friend Run Run Shaw knew who held a senior position in the Hong Kong government before the handover told him that "Polaris" was a joint venture, with the equity held by three companies. The first company was China Great Wall Industries Corporation.
, accounting for 25%, the second company is the American Glucos Trading and Investment Company, accounting for 35%, and the third company is an investment company called "Galaxy", accounting for 40%
.
The British man didn't know much about the Glucos Trading and Investment Company and the Galaxy Investment Company, but he was very familiar with the China Great Wall Industries Corporation, because it is a very important Chinese aerospace and rocket military industry enterprise that plays an important role in the international arms industry.
It also occupies a very important position in the trading market.
In other words, although "Polaris" can be regarded as a private company, it also contains state elements and has an extremely deep official background.
"What about this Zhou Hao? What role does he play in it? Is he from the central government or from the two private companies?" Looking at the tall and handsome Zhou Hao in front of him, Fang Yihua kept guessing.
She felt that the most likely possibility was that Zhou Haonai was the direct descendant of a big shot in the central government, also known as "□□".
Thinking of Zhou Hao's possible identity, Fang Yihua's face gradually darkened, and he thought to himself: "We have obviously gone to the central government to negotiate with the leaders before the return. We Wireless can continue to develop according to our own wishes after the return.
, the central government will not interfere too much. But now why does the central government control ATV to suppress us? Do they really want to completely control Hong Kong's speech?"
Fang Yihua's leaping thinking made her think of things far, far away, and Zhou Hao and Su Lin naturally didn't know about this. The share structure of "Polaris" is indeed divided into three parts, but the American Glucos Trading and Investment Company actually
It is a puppet company registered in the United States by Zhou Hao using "Galaxy", so Zhou Hao holds 70% of the equity of "Polaris".
As for the 25% held by Great Wall Industrial Company, it was Zhou Hao who took the initiative to give it up. Because according to domestic policies, it was difficult for private TV stations to develop, so Zhou Haocai deliberately divided the shares into national shares at the suggestion of Zhao Yuqin.
(Great Wall Industries), local private enterprises (Galaxy Investments) and foreign capital (Glekos), in order to obtain relatively preferential policies, also allowed Galaxy Satellite TV to finally obtain the right to land in China.
Moreover, Great Wall Industrial Corporation, like Poly Group, is a military enterprise, and unlike Poly Group, Great Wall Industrial Corporation is much more strictly controlled by the military. After all, it produces sensitive aerospace technology. And in
In the Great Wall Industrial Corporation, the Zhao family faction is the largest leading force, so the 25% share of "Polaris" is no different than being given to the Zhao family.
Ignoring Fang Yihua's random thoughts, Zhou Hao said sorry and walked away. Maybe he had some drinks just now and he was feeling anxious now.
Naturally, Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing would not follow him to the men's room, so they stayed at the venue to socialize with celebrities from all walks of life.
Maybe because such high-society parties are often held, the bathrooms in Wireless Video Studio are very luxuriously decorated, comparable to those in five-star hotels. Zhou Hao walked into one of the rooms to solve the problem.
At that moment, I heard someone coming in from outside. From the sound of footsteps, it should be two people.
"These Chinese people are so fucking troublesome. We have always performed impromptu singing, but now they want us to perform in the order they listed. It's so fucking boring." One of them yelled in English, cursing and adding:
There was a sound of running water, and he was obviously urinating.
Zhou Hao, who was in the toilet, felt that the voice was very familiar. After a moment of recollection, he remembered that it was the voice of Jonathan, the lead singer of the Philharmonic Orchestra he met on the plane. However, he used the voice of Jonathan at that time.
Zhou Hao was not used to talking to him in broken Chinese, so now hearing him speak in English made Zhou Hao a little uncomfortable.
"Stop complaining, just be patient. This TV station paid a lot of money to invite us to perform. If we offend them, the company will not let us go." Another person also spoke English, but his voice was louder than
Jonathan is calm, and you can tell that he is a man who is good at controlling his emotions.
Just listen to Jonathan say: "William, you are the drummer of our band, you should be the most passionate, why don't you, a nerd, have no enthusiasm at all? This is not in line with our rock and roll style. I just found a female star
, seems to be called Fl
Ora is the actress from the TV station that invited us to perform. Although she is not very beautiful, she is very coquettish. How about I ask her to give you Lele? I guarantee that it will ignite your anger." After that, she said.
Nathan laughed to himself.
The man named William said: "You've already fallen in love with someone just one day after arriving in Hong Kong. You are worthy of being the 'actress hunter' of our band. But I appreciate your kindness and I still like to do it myself. By the way, you used to
Didn't you tell us that you like that female singer named Vivian? Why are you dating someone else now?"
"I only use that Flora to quench my thirst. It is a disposable item that is disposable." Jonathan said nonchalantly: "Vivian is my ultimate goal. You saw her just now, right?
?Tsk tsk, she deserves to be Vivian. She is much more beautiful in real life than on camera, especially her amorous feelings. I can’t bear it when I see her from a distance. I really don’t dare think about how she will be in ecstasy after I get her into bed.”
"There seems to be a man beside her. Could it be her boyfriend?"
Jonathan said disdainfully: "I think that's just an old man with a smell of copper. Even if he is really Vivian's boyfriend, I don't believe that I, Jonathan, can't snatch Vivian away with my charm."
After washing their hands, Jonathan and William went out. Only then did Zhou Hao come out of the toilet with a wry smile on his face, thinking that this Jonathan really didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Back at the venue, the party has not officially started yet, and the celebrities and wealthy businessmen are still chatting in groups. Although there are many ladies and actresses coming to the party, and they all dress up beautifully, but when it comes to appearance,
Their temperament is not as good as that of Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing.
The evening clothes worn by Su Lin, Liang Xiaobing and others were simple and elegant. They may not be as luxurious as others, but when worn on them, they showed their most beautiful side, making them the most eye-catching beauties in the audience. Although many people present were not on
I talked to them in front of them, but I also peeked at them frequently.
When Zhou Hao came out, he happened to see two foreign men in front of Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing. Sure enough, it was Jonathan. The other man should be William who was in the toilet before. There was also a tall Chinese man standing next to Jonathan.
Female.
"We really found Xiao Bing." Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled, and walked straight over.
Both Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing have very high English proficiency. Even if Jonathan doesn't know how to speak Chinese, there will be no problem in communicating.
When Zhou Hao came over, Jonathan was praising Liang Xiaobing for her beauty. This guy had been in the flowers for a long time and was very good at talking. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was glib. Those sweet words came right out of his mouth, but Liang Xiaobing always
They were all reserved and polite with smiles on their faces, completely immune to Jonathan's tricks of coaxing girls.
That William looked about thirty years old, taller than Jonathan, his facial features were not so delicate, a bit rough, and his blue pupils were very deep. He should be the kind of person who has experienced a lot. He didn't
Like Jonathan, who was full of colorful words, he talked to Su Lin very elegantly, just like a Binbin gentleman.
"What are you talking about so happily?"
"Ah Hao, are you back?" Seeing Zhou Hao, the smile on Liang Xiaobing's face immediately became brighter, which was completely different from the coping smile she had just faced Jonathan.
