Who doesn't need our TV commercials to promote their products and elevate their brand? Influence is hard currency! As long as he's a qualified and successful businessman, there's no way he'd offend TVB, our powerful media partner, for a woman like Liu Rumeng! That's cutting off his own financial resources!
In this situation, Xiaolin Tianwang can only beg us for mercy! I think we can increase the year-end dividend by a few points..."
Run Run Shaw ignored Li Ka-shing's proposal on dividends and frowned even more tightly.
He slowly stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling Broadcasting Avenue downstairs.
A Hong Kong tycoon like him has actually already known all the major families and forces in Hong Kong Island for a long time, and takes into account the interests and reactions of all parties when taking action.
But now the only thing he couldn't see through and didn't want to provoke was Kobayashi Tenwang, the "dragon crossing the river".
"Takahata, don't let the numbers get to your head. Kobayashi Tenou... doesn't act according to common sense. The longer he remains silent, and the more he lets his newspaper publish a 'just enough' report... the more uneasy I feel. This isn't like him. He's not someone who would quietly swallow a loss. I have a feeling... something's going to happen."
Run Run Shaw has always acted calmly and cautiously, especially when it comes to TVB, the foundation of his career. He has always been steady and cautious, and has never had such an ominous premonition as he does now.
Fang Yihua obviously sensed his emotion and quickly stepped forward, gently holding Run Run Shaw's slightly cold hand. Her tone was soothing, but also with a subtle hint of toughness, she said:
"Sir Run Run, what is there to worry about? You just said that TVB is the absolute leader in Hong Kong's television industry.
No matter how big his business was, could he possibly expand into the television and broadcasting industry? Rediffusion Television was half-dead, and Jiayi Television had been squeezed out to the point of having very low ratings.
Hong Kong Island's television sky belongs to us, TVB! No matter how influential they are or how many groups they own, as long as they are doing business in Hong Kong Island, they cannot do without our publicity platform.
Even if he is a dragon crossing the river, he has to follow our rules in our small piece of land. Destroying huge business interests for a woman? I believe Xiaolin Tianwang is a smart man and would never do such a stupid thing. "
Run Run Shaw felt the warmth from the back of his hand, looked at Mona Fong's confident face, then looked at Lee Ho Wo who was beside him with a "worried" expression, and finally just sighed deeply, his gaze turned back to the territory of the television empire he had built outside the window, but the uneasiness in his heart was like the mist outside the window, lingering for a long time.
Huo's Building, top floor office.
Huo Zhen leaned comfortably on his leather boss chair, which symbolized power. The large desk in front of him was covered with various newspapers from this morning.
He flipped through the reports with great interest, especially those that belittled Xiao Lin Tianwang and praised him, Mr. Huo, as a "winner in life" and "a man with a keen eye for talent." He read them with great gusto, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Heh, this Japanese guy has lost face this time, hasn't he?" He casually threw aside a newspaper that mocked Kobayashi Tenmo for having "bad taste", feeling extremely relieved.
After the final last night, he personally presented Zhu Lingling with a huge bouquet of red roses. The "affection" and "grace" he displayed in front of countless cameras were exactly the moves he had carefully planned.
He publicly announced his "pursuit" of Zhu Lingling and severely humiliated Kobayashi Tianwang.
The woman you like, Liu Rumeng, can only come in second; and the woman I like is the champion that everyone expects!
"Ah Liang," he pressed the call button, his voice a little amused. "Over there, Kobayashi Tenmo, and his newspaper, besides that bland background piece in the Asia Daily, are there any other developments? For example... targeting TVB? Or Ms. Zhu?"
Assistant Liang Zeyang's voice soon came over: "Mr. Huo, not yet. Aside from the report in the Asia Daily, all other newspapers in the Longteng Newspaper Group reported the Miss Hong Kong results as usual. Neither Kobayashi Tenmo himself nor the Hong Kong Land Group have made any public statements or taken any action."
