Chapter 465 Li is going to change her name
The Americans (led by Blackwater Security) finally flew over, and the Malaysian authorities didn’t dare to say anything, right?

As for whether to return a few planes to the US military in the end, we’ll talk about it later.

If you delay it, maybe it will pass.

As for the fact that helicopters can't fly that far, hey, helicopters are a different game. In addition to meeting the new general manager candidate of Rediffusion, I also have a dinner date with Uncle Huo in the evening!

At the right time, Uncle Huo's empty fleet, fleet! will happen to pass through the South China Sea.

Today's ocean-going fleets are all loaded with containers, and their empty decks are just right for accommodating helicopters that have nowhere to land.

Well, it still can't be too empty, we still need to put some containers to cover it up. We need to specially customize some containers so that we can cover some helicopters!
There are so many ships. If a few of them get separated late at night and go up the Pearl River Estuary, no one will be able to say anything.

Wang Yuanchao planned to keep a few for himself. How embarrassing it would be for a rich man to go out without a helicopter.

By the way, we can also donate a few to the Hong Kong authorities so that we can enjoy the good food together.

Hong Kong established the Independent Commission Against Corruption in February. So far, the effect has not been obvious. The authorities have been calling for anti-corruption for many years, from the last Governor Trench to the current Governor MacLehose. Has it been effective?

Everyone thinks it is useless, but Wang Yuanchao knows that it is useful, it just needs time to settle!

When Peter Godber is extradited back to Hong Kong next year, everyone will know that the authorities are serious this time!

This is how he comforted Howard.

The diplomatic relations between Britain and the mainland have been upgraded, and Howard has made a lot of money from his investments in Hong Kong in recent years, but he still wants to take a chance by going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Wang Yuanchao did not object. Now that he was fully grown, he was no longer the small rich man who needed Howard's protection.

As for the remaining planes, we can give a few to the US military and get them the Presidential Medal for Bravery. It's better to give the US military a bargain than to let the North Vietnamese monkeys get a bargain! They still have to fight with the mainland later!
He couldn't find anyone else to cooperate with him on this matter except Uncle Huo.

He was the only one dragging all these things north, no one else.

Of course, he couldn't reveal his real purpose yet, so the reason for the dinner tonight was to celebrate the breakthrough of the Hong Kong United team in the World Cup: they scored a goal and tied with East Germany. By the way, I wish the Hong Kong athletes good results in the upcoming Asian Games!

We are all from the sports world.

Uncle Huo is not only the chairman of the Hong Kong Olympic Committee, he also has two teams playing in the league. However, he does not like to use foreign players because they are expensive.

But in the sports industry, how can we achieve results without spending money?

Without achievements, how can we attract audiences? How can we have influence?
Wang Yuanchao is actually not very optimistic about Hong Kong's participation in the Asian Games to be held in Tehran in September because Uncle Huo has invested too little.

But he couldn't say much. After all, he had already snatched away Uncle Huo's position as the president of the Football Association. If he continued to interfere in the projects of the Olympic Committee, it would seem that he was overreaching and that would be bad.

Moreover, Uncle Huo was secretly suppressed by the Hong Kong authorities and did not have as much money as he did.

If Wang Yuanchao had not invested a large amount of sponsorship in the Hong Kong Football Association and vigorously carried out echelon construction and trained new players, the Hong Kong Football Team would most likely not have been able to qualify.

Even so, they only scored one goal in the World Cup.

If you want to grow, you have a long way to go.

Wang Yuanchao is already preparing to naturalize players in Brazil.

We have a base there, and it would be a waste to just train our own people. It would be better to absorb more high-quality population.

Once you become a Hong Kong citizen, you are a Hong Konger. Wang Yuanchao doesn’t care that much whether the players are Chinese or not. After all, he is a very tolerant person.

It’s just that Brazil’s economy is still relatively strong now. We have to wait until Brazilians get excited and start industrializing. Only then will there be plenty of talent to choose from.

……

Huang Xizhao waited for 1 hour and 18 minutes before he met the big boss Wang Yuanchao.

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen the legendary figure of Hong Kong at such a close distance.

What a young handsome guy!

"Mr. Huang, I bought the Rediffusion.

But for the time being I will not show up. The chairman of the board will be an American, but you know, he will not be in charge.

I have read your resume.

So, if you were asked to run this TV station, would you be able to do it well? "

Wang Yuanchao didn't waste time and asked directly.

Huang Xizhao's heart skipped a beat. Although he had always thought so, it still felt different when Boss Wang said it himself.

He took a deep breath and said:

"If you give your beauty pageant and New Year's Eve party to the station, I am confident that we can surpass TVB within a year."

Historically, he was the first Chinese general manager of Rediffusion Television, and he competed fiercely with TVB, evenly matched with TVB. He decided to leave the company only after it was acquired by an Australian consortium.

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

“For the beauty pageant, I can arrange for investors to invest money in Phoenix Daily.

After all, the right to host this event lies with Phoenix Daily, and there is nothing wrong with companies pursuing profits.

TVB definitely can’t afford this price.”

Anyway, the investment companies in the United States have money, so go ahead and invest legally and cash out legally. There is no such thing as related-party transactions these days.

"I will open the New Year's Eve Gala to two TV stations. There will be four hosts, two from each station, and you can select your best hosts. I will also treat everyone equally in the program arrangement, without showing favoritism.

But how your TV station broadcasts live is your freedom.

I suggest you arrange for someone to learn how to shoot with a jib and how to direct large-scale events, so that it can be more interesting.”

In previous New Year’s Eve Galas, TVB was reluctant to use jib equipment. There were only a few angles and people just had to watch it. There was no choice.

But Rediffusion has American capital behind it, so it has no shortage of money.

As for why the two companies should work together to spread culture, the more people who watch this platform, the better.

Moreover, the competition between the two TV stations on the same stage is to allow them to compete with each other and maintain their competitiveness.

If TVB objects, what right does TVB have to object?
The hosting rights of this event are in the hands of Wang Yuanchao.

"In addition, in addition to horse racing, football and other sports events, we can also broadcast them live for you. We need to improve where necessary. I want quality!"

When TVB was first established, it could only broadcast Macau’s racing live. Didn’t it want to broadcast horse racing? It’s in the hands of Rediffusion Television!
As for sports events, TVB’s broadcasting fees are definitely not as good as ATV’s.

When Huang Xizhao heard what the boss said, he realized that the boss was willing to invest!
The boss has delegated so much power and invested so much, if he still doesn't do a good job, he deserves to sink into Victoria Harbour.

So he nodded vigorously.

Then Wang Yuanchao continued:

“Two more things:

The first is that the name needs to be changed.

It was changed to Asia TV, or ATV for short. A is closer to B!
The second is to discuss the rights to adapt Jin Yong and Gu Long’s novels. Hong Kong Commercial Radio has signed it before, but the authorization is about to expire, so we can make a TV series.

The main characters must be handsome men and beautiful women. When we discuss cooperation with Starlight, I will ask them that movie stars must shoot more than one TV series every year. So there is no need to worry about the actors.

What I want is for you to make a good martial arts drama!
Of course, for other programs, you can innovate on your own and you are not required to make a profit in the first year, but in the second year, there will be a profit requirement.”

Since the acquisition was completed, the name had to be changed. At this time, Wang Yuanchao still had ambitions. Asia Television, Hong Kong is the center of Asian film and television!

Qiu Degen’s original name change was indeed a good one.

Another thing is my obsession with TVB’s martial arts dramas, grab them!
Until now, I have never seen TVB shoot a martial arts drama, because historically, TVB did not shoot the first Jin Yong martial arts drama "The Book and the Sword" until 76. This kind of large-scale series costs much more than current movies.

Huang Xizhao suddenly felt very proud. The boss's plan was very big, really very big. Moreover, making a large-scale TV series coincided with his idea!

"My style is to make a budget in advance and audit regularly. The finance department will tell you this.

So there will be changes in finance and personnel, but you have full authority over everything else.

If you do well, there will be dividends. According to the dividend policy, the HR department will share with you. "

Wang Yuanchao finished stating all his requests to the TV station, and finally said:

"Any questions?"

Huang Xizhao said quickly:

"Can I report my work to you, my boss?"

Even if your boss gives you full authority, you cannot really take it as full authority. It is essential to ask for instructions and report more often.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Contact the holding company's assistant in advance and he will make the arrangements."

Wang Yuanchao tapped his fingers on the table twice and said,
“We can have Cantonese programmes, but they cannot be all in Cantonese.

I am not against Cantonese songs, but for popular shows, try to use Mandarin.”

Although Hong Kong has not yet vigorously promoted Cantonese, there is already a trend towards this. In his previous life, Wang Yuanchao first learned Cantonese from Cantonese songs, so the role of cultural media is enormous.

Cantonese songs are nice to listen to, so Wang Yuanchao has no objection, but there should be fewer Cantonese TV programs.

ATV has only two channels. One is an English channel, which is mainly for foreigners to watch. It has little influence and cannot be taken care of for the time being. The other is a Chinese channel, and Cantonese and Mandarin are bound to occupy space.

Huang Xizhao understood that the boss spoke to him in Mandarin!

"The day after tomorrow, the American investors will go to the TV station to announce your appointment. You should go back first to stabilize the people in the station and make sure nothing goes wrong during the handover period. Submit a semi-annual work plan to me as soon as possible so that I can approve your budget.

Don't expose my existence for the time being, or I won't treat you to a meal!"

There are some things that the Americans can do, but he, Wang Yuanchao, cannot.

The Americans don't need to explain to anyone, but he, Wang Yuanchao, cannot.

It can be said that, except for Huang Xizhao, no one else in Rediffusion knew that he was the big boss behind the scenes, except for the financial and human resources managers he sent.

Huang Xizhao left with great confidence.

Wang Yuanchao stood up and paced, standing in front of the large window, looking at the busy Victoria Harbour outside and the Connaught Building (Jardine House) opposite. In less than half a year, he would open his mouth wide and acquire the British company.
