Gao Qiaohao immediately nodded and bowed, "Hi! Boss, you are very far-sighted. I was just worrying too much! Please tell me what to do next!"
Lin Huowang nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "Now, you can selectively spread the news that we're determined to acquire Rediffusion Television to... 'warm up' for this acquisition."
"Warm-up?"
Gao Qiaohao was stunned again, and asked doubtfully, "Boss, such a major transaction, especially one involving British assets, shouldn't normal business practices keep it as low-key and confidential as possible, and announce it after the deal is completed to prevent any complications?"
Lin Huowang shook his head slightly and denied it, "Conventional? It doesn't apply to proud British gentlemen.
Mr. Gaucho, you really don't understand the "decency" of these British gentlemen.
"Do you think their pitiful 'noble dignity' would easily agree to let them buy out their first television station in the Far East under such 'humiliating' circumstances - a sudden rise in wealth from the East, in their eyes, because a woman had been wronged?"
The actual historical trajectory also confirms Lin Huowang's judgment.
In the real historical process, many powerful tycoons in Hong Kong Island have expressed strong interest in acquiring ATV, but they were all arrogantly rejected or harshly harassed by British capital.
It was not until 1982, when ATV collapsed and Rediffusion Television suffered unbearable losses under the continuous pressure from TVB, that British capital was forced to lower its proud head and sell it to Mr. Qiu Degen at a low price.
After Mr. Qiu took over, he renamed it "Asia Television" and invested huge sums of money in a thorough reform, which truly opened the "dual hero era" of competing with TVB.
Therefore, based on some historical development trajectories in his previous life, Lin Huowang can confidently say: "In my opinion, the probability that the British headquarters will agree to the sale now is less than 20%!
Therefore, I just want to let everyone in Hong Kong Island know that I, Kobayashi Tenmo, am very angry and the consequences will be serious!
I want everyone to see how I, Xiaolin Tianwang, will fight TVB to redeem Liu Rumeng, regardless of cost or expense! I want to firmly plant the banner of "Risting the Crown for the Beauty" on the cover of this acquisition!
This has several advantages. First, it puts pressure on Rediffusion's UK headquarters. Once public opinion heats up, they'll either have to endure the accusation of "ignoring shareholder interests" or be forced to negotiate the price. Second, and more importantly...
I think the one who is having the hardest time at the moment is not the hesitant British, but the TVB that is almost being crushed by TVB - ATV.
When they hear the news and know I even dared to buy Rediffusion, and that I was doing it to fight TVB to the death... do you think they would come to me like they were grasping at straws and come knocking on my door?"
Gao Qiaohao instantly understood the ingenuity of Lin Huowang's scheme, his eyes gleaming with genuine admiration. He said, "Great! Boss, you're so far-sighted! Killing several birds with one stone! I'll do it right away!"
The Peninsula Hotel, in a quiet private room.
Under the soft light, the crystal glass reflects a hazy luster.
Peter Ho was wearing an exquisite custom-made suit, with a smug look on his face, and he diligently served food to Rebecca Chu who was sitting opposite him.
He recalled the past few months, and the feeling of being suppressed by Kobayashi Tianwang. Today he can be said to have truly found his true self, and he felt an unprecedented sense of spiritual satisfaction.
He deliberately did not choose to book the entire floor to show off his wealth, but only asked for a private box like this one.
The reason is simple. He needs the paparazzi outside, who are as sensitive as hounds, to "happen" to find him having dinner here with the newly crowned Miss Hong Kong champion.
Yes!
He also wanted to reveal to the public that Kobayashi Tianwang had spent a lot of money to pursue Zhu Lingling and coax her into bed, but was rejected by Zhu Lingling sternly.
But now…
Zhu Lingling, who was even more adorned with the title of Miss Hong Kong, happily agreed to go on a date with him.
The more Mr. Huo thought about this, the more he looked at Zhu Lingling opposite him with a bit of "obsession".
Zhu Lingling wore an elegant evening gown, and the halo brought by her new crown made her look particularly radiant.
She naturally understood the intention of Peter Ho's move, and she felt very happy about being openly pursued by a top wealthy family's son and being the focus of attention of the whole of Hong Kong.
She enjoyed Peter Ho's thoughtfulness, and her behavior was filled with the reserve and appropriate gentleness that a champion should have.
Seeing how Peter Ho was concentrating on cutting steak for her, Rebecca Chu couldn't help but compare herself with Liu Rumeng again.
The woman who was considered the biggest favorite by everyone before the game, the woman who was rumored to be fought over by both Young Master Huo and Xiao Lin Tianwang, ended up only finishing in second place.
And she, Zhu Lingling, is the one standing at the top of the spotlight.
Not only did she beat Liu Rumeng on the beauty pageant stage, but she also seemed to be...ahead in the race of life as a woman?
No matter how glorious and well-reported you were before, what does it matter? The one who has won the Miss Hong Kong title is me, Zhu Lingling.
And now, I am being held in the palm of the hand of the true heir to a top wealthy family.
A subtle sense of superiority as a winner quietly grew in her heart, making the smile on her lips deepen.
"Lingling, try this. Their fried foie gras with black truffle is their signature dish."
Peter Ho placed a piece of carefully cut foie gras on Rebecca Chu's plate with a gentle look.
"Thank you, Brother Zhenting." Zhu Lingling spoke in a sweet voice, picking up her knife and fork with an elegant gesture. "I'm so sorry to have troubled you today. Right after the game..."
