After this, MacLehose could no longer sleep, so he went to his study, where he had a collection of medicinal wines made by Chinese medicine practitioners.
He has also taken a lot of tiger penis wine, deer blood wine, etc. At the beginning, the effect was indeed good, but in the past two years, he didn't know whether he had developed drug resistance or he was really too old, even if he drank half a bottle, it had no effect at all.
On the other side, in the Cha Mansion in Deep Water Bay,
Jin Yong was also awakened from his dream by the urgent ringing of the phone.
The anxious and shocked voice of Ming Pao's editor-in-chief Wang Yang came from the other end of the phone, reporting to him the explosive news that Jiayi was renamed Asia Television.
Jin Yong was still a little sleepy at first, but upon hearing the news, he instantly perked up and couldn't help but shout "Great!" into the phone.
In the past two days, Jin Yong was made quite embarrassed by Run Run Shaw's counterattack, which was also quite detrimental to his own reputation.
Jin Yong is not a very generous person. Before going to bed, he was thinking about what method he would use tomorrow to regain some face!
He even considered taking back the martial arts copyright that he had previously authorized to TVB, and not allowing TVB to film his novels in the future.
And now that Kobayashi Tenwang has launched such a midnight surprise attack, Jin Yong must of course applaud with both hands.
"What a brilliant move! 'Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing Chencang'! This Kobayashi Tenwang played it beautifully!"
A few days ago, he contacted the senior management of Rediffusion Television and spread the news that he wanted to acquire Rediffusion Television, which attracted everyone's attention.
It turns out the real target was Jiayi, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to be no longer a problem! A feint, a diversion to the east and a strike in the west! Brilliant! Really brilliant!
Jin Yong paced excitedly in his study for a few steps, his brows furrowed tightly again, revealing deep confusion: "But... what I can't figure out the most is, how on earth did he convince that stubborn old man Lin Xiufeng?
When Jiayi was first established, Lin Xiufeng was incredibly ambitious. I once had a private conversation with him, and he declared with unwavering confidence that Jiayi TV was his lifelong dream and the flagship of his Lin family in the cultural media sector. Even if it went bankrupt and liquidated, he would never sell a single share!
From what I know about Lin Xiufeng's character, he's definitely not one to resort to empty threats. His almost paranoid persistence... What kind of conditions, or what means, did Kobayashi Tianwang offer to make even this tough nut to crack?
"How strange! How bizarre! This young man is truly unfathomable!"
Jin Yong's tone was filled with strong curiosity about the secrets behind this transaction and deep fear of Kobayashi Tianwang's methods.
But to the outside world, the sudden "death" of ATV at midnight and the sudden emergence of Asia Television completely shocked the entire media industry in Hong Kong Island.
What's more, the major newspapers in Hong Kong Island have a love-hate relationship with this.
Because this timing is extremely accurate, it is when most newspapers are about to be delivered to printing or have just started printing.
They were happy to have such an explosive headline, but they hated that they had to work overtime to finish the manuscript.
All the newspaper editorial departments are going crazy!
The printing press stopped urgently!
The front page that had just been published or had already started printing was ruthlessly removed!
Editors, reporters, and typesetters were recalled overnight!
The brightly lit editorial office was filled with the sounds of ringing telephones, hurried footsteps, heated discussions and the busy work of typesetters.
Coffee cups piled up and ashtrays were filled with cigarette butts.
Everyone was like a wound-up spring, working at high speed in a huge sense of shock and urgency, just to get this earth-shattering headline news into the hands of readers before the morning market opened.
The early morning sunshine dispelled the chill of the night, but another kind of burning atmosphere filled the air in front of the newsstands in Hong Kong Island.
The newspapers, with the ink still wet, gave off a unique smell. Without exception, the headlines on the front page were all about the golden phoenix reborn from the ashes and the four big words "Asia Television".
The headlines are shocking and the opinions clash fiercely.
Obviously, in order to seize the initiative in today's explosive news, editors and reporters from major newspapers racked their brains in the middle of the night, looking up countless intelligence and information, just to analyze a novel and explosive point of view and angle for this acquisition.
Of course, on the basis of attracting attention, each newspaper’s own position is also an important factor in the reporting.
Therefore, it often results in different newspapers reporting on the same news topic, with completely different results in terms of optimism or pessimism about its prospects.
"Ming Pao's front page: 'Xiao Lin takes over ATV at lightning speed, Asia Television emerges!'"
[Exclusive Commentary from This Newspaper] Last night at midnight, the landscape of Hong Kong's television industry shifted dramatically! Enigmatic Japanese tycoon Kobayashi Tenmo completed his acquisition of CATV with lightning speed, immediately renaming it "Asia Television" (ATV).
