Run Run Shaw did not deal with documents early as usual, but turned his back to the door and silently looked out the window at the street view of Broadcasting Avenue.
Yesterday at TVB's celebration party, everyone was a little bored and distracted because of the sudden explosive news.
As Run Run Shaw's life partner who had secretly obtained a marriage certificate in the United States, Mona Fong stood quietly by the side, with a hint of fatigue and worry on her face.
After the celebration banquet last night, Run Run Shaw almost did not sleep all night.
The news that Kobayashi Tenmo was going to acquire ATV was like a sword hanging over his head, which could be swung down at any time.
Although he loudly denounced his employees as "outsiders" and "destined to suffer a bloody nose", deep in Run Run Shaw's heart, the heavy worry still lingered.
The young man's style of doing things was too strange and too unconventional.
Spending hundreds of millions to buy a TV station for a woman?
Behind this crazy behavior, there must be a deeper meaning that he has not fully understood.
The new emperor of Hong Kong Land...
For someone who controls a huge business empire, revenge would never be just a childish act of anger.
Run Run Shaw was not some greenhorn in the business world. If he really believed that Xiaolin Tianwang was doing these things just to help Liu Rumeng vent her anger, then most of his life's ups and downs in the business world would have been in vain.
For a business tycoon of this level, business moves of this scale must have deeper meanings behind them.
However, at this time, Run Run Shaw had never thought about the profound meaning of Kobayashi Tenmo.
Run Run Shaw's fingertips tapped the windowsill unconsciously, making a dull sound.
Li's voice...
Will the British really fight to the death just to save face?
You know, under his leadership, TVB has been on the verge of collapse after so many years of crazy attacks. The annual losses have made the British headquarters want to whip the executives of Hong Kong Rediffusion Television.
It is precisely because of improper operation that the general manager and deputy general manager of ATV have been replaced three times in five years, more diligently than cutting leeks.
Moreover, originally they were all British, but now they are all Hong Kong people in order to provide better local services to the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
But this only brought a slight improvement to ATV and reduced the extent of its losses.
In the final analysis, ATV seems to be a good and promising industry with a scarce television license. However, as long as TVB exists, whoever takes over ATV should be prepared to lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year!
Therefore, Run Run Shaw had no doubt that if a British company such as Jardine Matheson proposed to acquire Rediffusion Television, British Rediffusion might even be given away for free.
However, if the bidder is Longteng Newspaper, there are many things to consider.
Television is currently the medium that reaches the grassroots the fastest and has powerful communication and publicity capabilities.
Among the three major television stations in Hong Kong, Rediffusion Television is the only remaining British-owned television station. The symbolic significance is too great. Even if it continues to make losses, it will probably have to hold on. The Hong Kong government will probably not easily agree to the transfer of Rediffusion Television.
However, to put it bluntly, Hong Kong is still capitalist, and the British head office behind Rediffusion also has to consider financial gains and losses.
Will they try to keep Rediffusion Television to save face for British investors, or will they give in to a sufficiently attractive price?
Fang Yihua looked at Run Run Shaw's silent and solemn back, and felt uneasy in her heart, but the word "retreat" did not exist in her dictionary.
She stepped forward, trying to break the suffocating silence, and said, "Sir Run Run, you don't have to worry too much. The British who are so popular in Hong Kong care most about face.
Selling the TV station to a Chinese-Japanese businessman would be a disgrace to them.
Price? When it comes to face, the price is not worth mentioning. Moreover, the attitude of the Hong Kong government is also crucial. Will MacLehose sit idly by and let him control a TV station?
Then, just then, the phone on the desk rang.
The ringing sounded like a needle, suddenly piercing the dull atmosphere in the office.
Run Run Shaw's back tensed instantly, and almost at the same second, he turned around neatly.
He took a few steps to the table and picked up the receiver without hesitation.
"Hello?" he asked in a steady voice.
A concise and quick report came from the other end of the phone.
Fang Yihua watched nervously from the side. The emergency call at this time was obviously related to Kobayashi Tianwang's acquisition of Rediffusion Television, and it was very likely the result of whether the acquisition would be successful or not.
Therefore, Fang Yihua also frowned slightly, waiting with Run Run Shaw for this crucial result for TVB.
Run Run Shaw held the microphone and listened quietly. The expression on his face was like thawing ice, which first solidified and then cracked little by little. Finally, the corners of his tense mouth couldn't help but rise up.
"knew!"
He only said three words and then hung up the phone neatly.
After hanging up the receiver again, Run Run Shaw slammed his hand on the table and laughed uncontrollably. His laughter was filled with mocking relief and gloating: "Hahaha! Good! Very good!"
Fang Yihua was also pleasantly surprised and asked hurriedly, "Sir Run Run? What's wrong? Did the British... get a response?"
Run Run Shaw turned around, his face etched with undisguised sarcasm, and said, "Answer? No need to discuss it! Rediffusion's London headquarters sent a telegram straight over! Eight words: 'RTV is not for sale!'"
