As he spoke, he imitated the arrogant tone of the British, and then sneered heartily, "You don't even bother to talk about the price! What's the point of talking about price? They won't even give you a chance to quote! They'll just close the shop! They won't even give that Japanese guy any face!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yihua's tense heartstrings relaxed completely with a clang. She heaved a long sigh, and a smile of victory appeared on her face: "Great! I knew it! The British still have some backbone! Now, Xiaolin Tianwang's face has really been thrown into the Pacific Ocean!
Yesterday, he made such bold statements that captured the attention of the entire Hong Kong people, only to be slapped in the face by the British today! Let's see how he steps down!
Sir Run Run, you can now rest assured. It turns out he was just bluffing, just trying to please that little girl Liu Rumeng! The Hong Kong television industry will always be our TVB's world! No one can shake it!
Run Run Shaw was in a very good mood at the moment, and the gloom of the past few days had been swept away.
He nodded, and recalculated in his mind, saying: "Ahua, you are right. How can we miss such a good opportunity?
Tell the news editorial department to feature this in the noon news! Give it a prominent spot and a large section! Use the headline: 'Lishi flatly rejects acquisition, Japanese upstart's bold promises fall through!' Put the original British response on it!
Let the commentators analyze this carefully and emphasize the uniqueness and sensitivity of strategic assets like television stations, which cannot be purchased with money alone! Let the whole of Hong Kong see how Kobayashi Tianwang has shot himself in the foot this time!
"Understood! I'll do it right away!"
Fang Yihua responded immediately, turned around and was about to walk out with brisk steps.
But just as she reached the door, she stopped again, turned back and added with a smile: “Sir Run Run, I think we were too nervous this time.
Not to mention that Kobayashi Tenwang can't buy a Rediffusion TV at all, even if he really can buy it, what do we have to be afraid of?
You are the only true television tycoon in Hong Kong! Under your leadership, TVB will only become stronger and stronger, and its status will only rise higher and higher! "
These flattering words sounded particularly pleasant to Run Run Shaw at this moment.
He waved his hand, a comfortable smile that had not been seen for many days appearing on his face.
On the other side, the top floor office of Longteng Newspaper Group.
The heavy curtains were not completely drawn, and a few rays of sunlight stubbornly shone in, outlining golden bands of light on the floor.
The atmosphere in the office was completely different from the bright and sunny outside, with a kind of quietness before a storm.
Lin Huowang stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the door, his figure tall and straight.
To be honest, for Lin Huowang, every morning when he wakes up, he feels a little unreal and dazed.
He returned to 1977 after decades and had established such a large foundation in Hong Kong Island, becoming an influential tycoon in Hong Kong Island. He even had businesses in Japan and the mainland. It was really dreamy enough.
However, he was also able to face the reality clearly. Since God gave him a chance to start over, he naturally could not be timid and just be satisfied with being a rich man. He had to stand firm in the times, make great plans, and accomplish something truly earth-shaking.
"You really don't want to sell? Then there's nothing we can do! Rediffusion Television will soon be completely lost in the dustbin of history..."
Lin Huowang had just put down the phone when he heard ATV officially convey the decision of its London headquarters - the acquisition was rejected and the product was not for sale.
Gao Qiaohao stood a few steps behind him, brow furrowed, and reported in a low voice, "Boss, the response from Rediffusion Television... is just as you expected. The British left no room for maneuver. TVB... is probably already preparing a major report. Given Boss Shao's character, he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to strike a blow against us. We're going to give you a good slap on the wrist."
Gao Qiaohao's tone carried a hint of reluctance and worry about the impending storm of public opinion.
After all, the topic is now heated up and the whole of Hong Kong is watching. The bold statement made by his boss this time is about to become a laughing stock in Hong Kong.
As a subordinate, he would naturally worry about the humiliation of his master and the death of his subjects.
Lin Huowang slowly turned around, but his face did not show any of the expected disappointment, anger or embarrassment.
"As expected. The British have a little bit of self-respect that they have to protect. If Rediffusion doesn't sell, it may not be a bad thing for us."
Gao Qiaohao was also stunned when he heard this: "Boss? What do you mean?"
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door. The secretary's voice, tinged with caution and surprise, came through: "Boss, there are a few guests outside... claiming to be representatives of several major shareholders of Jiayi Television. They said... they have something very urgent and important to discuss, and they must see you immediately. It's about... the equity transfer of Jiayi Television."
When Gao Qiaohao heard this, he looked up suddenly, and a look of disbelief and astonishment immediately burst out in his eyes!
All the confusions I had before were completely cleared up at this moment.
It turned out that his boss's ultimate goal had never been ATV. If ATV was willing to be sold, that would naturally be the best.
If Rediffusion TV refuses to sell, the real target will reveal itself.
Jiayi Television?
This TV station, which only obtained its license in 1975, is now being suppressed by TVB and is half-dead, has dismal ratings, and is mired in financial difficulties?
Its shareholders...actually came to them on their own initiative? And at this critical moment when Rediffusion flatly refused to acquire it?
