The solemn atmosphere in the board of directors of the Hong Kong Land Group had not yet completely dissipated, and Lin Huowang's resounding promise was still buzzing in the ears of every director.
Each of them is a tycoon who is well-versed in the business world and a business godfather of Hong Kong Island. Each of them is not only a director of a company called Hong Kong Crown Holdings, but has also held countless board meetings for countless companies.
But no chairman of the board has ever dared to make such a solemn promise to Kobayashi Tenno in front of him.
If someone else said this, they would just laugh it off and think it was a shameless joke.
But since these words came from Kobayashi Tianwang's mouth and were officially recorded in the board meeting minutes, he must keep his word.
This involves taking control of such a large industry as the Jardine Matheson Group as a promise and a bet!
The shock this brought.
The directors present all sincerely admired Kobayashi Tenwang's courage and confidence.
Because this was not just a promise, it was more like a gamble, a gamble on his newly acquired land ownership rights and his rapidly rising legendary reputation as the "Kobayashi Tornado".
The courage beyond his age and the self-confidence that was almost arrogant really moved these old foxes who had seen a lot of ups and downs.
As a result, many of the arguments and reasons they had prepared became unnecessary in the face of Lin Huowang's decisive promise.
Even Jardine Matheson's boss, John Newbigin, who had always stood firm, had to stand up after a brief silence.
He forced a slightly complicated smile on his face, clapped his hands lightly and said, "Good! Xiaolinsheng, since you have such great determination and confidence, then we will naturally wait and see for your good news."
With Newbijian taking the lead, the other directors naturally had nothing to say. They didn't have much to say, so they all stood up and applauded Kobayashi Tianwang.
"Since everyone has no objections, today's board meeting ends here and is adjourned!"
With a slight smile, Lin Huowang announced the adjournment of the meeting and left decisively.
Huo Zhenting didn't say anything else, but his eyes were solemn as he stared at Lin Huowang's departing back.
After many confrontations with Kobayashi Tenwang during this period, he can be said to have a very good understanding of Kobayashi Tenwang's character and he is definitely not a person who attacks without reason.
From this, it can be seen that his reform of Asian Television definitely has trump cards and methods that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
A strong sense of curiosity and uneasiness rose in Huo Zhenting's heart at this moment.
Lin Huowang walked out of the meeting room with steady steps, without any displeasure on his face.
Outside the door, Gao Qiaohao was already waiting with his hands down.
"Mr. Gao Qiao, are our people in place? Are the technical plans implemented? How is the personnel training progressing?"
Lin Huowang didn't mention the situation of the board of directors at all, but asked directly.
For what he is going to do now, time is the most expensive cost at this moment.
Gao Qiaohao immediately followed his lead, a look of worry on his face as he said, "Boss, the technical team is still working on the final stages of their development. The real-time statistics you requested... and the installation and commissioning of the entire system across so many stores, are a bit of a stretch with the current state of the art equipment. It'll take at least two days for it to be fully stable."
The staff training went very smoothly, and the process and the techniques were basically mastered. Overall, three days! Everything can be ready within three days.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Huowang nodded slightly and felt a little relieved.
After all, it was only 1977. Things that seemed extremely simple in later generations would actually be a huge technical barrier at that time.
Fortunately, he had made preliminary preparations early, and it would take another two days, which was still within an acceptable range.
"Okay, keep a close eye on it. Three days is the limit, no more delay."
Gao Qiaohao hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but couldn't help but speak: "Boss, this system requires a lot of investment. If it is popularized in all stores, it will cost an estimated 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
This... this method really works? What if the effect is not as expected, the board of directors..."
Gao Qiaohao was not particularly confident, after all, no one in the entire Hong Kong Island had done this yet.
Ten million dollars invested in technology, plus the ten million dollars previously spent on advertising, that's twenty million dollars in real money, all bet on an idea that seems too advanced.
Lin Huowang stopped, glanced sideways at Gao Qiaohao, and said with a smile, "The boast has already been made. The 10 million is an arrow on the string and must be fired. Just like the advertising fee, it is a necessary investment.
As for the effect? Just wait and see. In this battle, we can only win and not lose! "
Gao Qiaohao certainly chose to believe his boss. After all, since arriving in Hong Kong Island, all the boasts his boss had made had come true.
All my previous worries and doubts were dispelled time and time again by the boss's strength.
"One more thing," Lin Huowang continued, "Over at Asia Television, the personnel appointment notices can be sent out. Liu Rumeng will be the general manager, and Lv Ruirong will be the deputy general manager, effective immediately. Have them both go to Asia Television to take up their posts today!"
"Boss! This... Miss Liu and Miss Lu are indeed excellent, but they have never been involved in TV station management and are complete outsiders.
Asia Television is a mess now. How can those senior employees accept it? This is not... this is not..."
Gao Qiaohao was shocked again when he heard that Lin Huowang really wanted to make such arrangements. In the last sentence, he swallowed the word "child's play" with difficulty.
Lin Huowang smiled, a smile that was meaningful: "Are you convinced? Jiayi went bankrupt in their hands, what right do they have to not accept it? Anyone who doesn't accept it can leave now, I will never try to keep them.
