Chapter 358 Appointment
Author: Bai Lian Zi Ren
After hearing Bai Zirui's words, Huang Xizhao's eyes suddenly lit up. If it is true as Bai Zirui said, it will undoubtedly be the greatest gospel for all Xiangjiang citizens.
When Bai Zirui acquired Li's TV station, he didn't care whether Li's TV station made money or not. Even a slight loss of tens of millions was completely acceptable. Li's TV station still had to remain neutral on the surface. After all, he was still planning the Acorn company.
It is preparing to be listed in London, and John Guo is an important pivot for Dingtian Company to develop the European market.
He must reach a tacit understanding with the management of the TV station on this issue. As for the negotiations between the two governments in September, how should the TV station report in order to show the neutrality of the position and conform to Bai Zirui's values? This is what Huang Xizhao needs to think about and solve.
thing.
Bai Zirui said: "Since Li's TV station has been acquired, it will no longer have anything to do with John Guoli's Voice Company. Naturally, the name of the TV station will also have to be changed! I think it is better to call it Asia TV, as it looks big. Huang Sheng
, I have decided to appoint you as the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Television!"
When Huang Xizhao heard that Bai Zirui asked him to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Television, he was stunned for a while and did not react.
Bai Zirui said sincerely: "As the saying goes, don't trust people who are suspicious, and don't use people who are suspicious. This has always been my principle! I believe that Huang Sheng's ability will definitely live up to my expectations, and he will definitely be able to manage Asia Television well!"
Huang Xizhao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was just his first meeting with Bai Sheng, and he would trust him so much. This made him feel as if a scholar would die for his confidant.
He vowed: "Since Bai Sheng thinks so highly of me, I will definitely try my best to make ATV better and better!"
Bai Zirui did not directly let Dingtian Company acquire Li's TV Station, but conducted the acquisition through Huiding Industrial Holdings Investment Company, so he did not arrange for Dingtian Company's executives to join the board of directors of Asia Television. Only Xu Jingli became the
Asia Television's new financial director also serves as executive director.
As Dingtian's business gradually begins to globalize, it also has higher requirements for the company's financial operations. Elites with a global perspective are needed to continue to join in. Therefore, recently, many European and American senior managers have appeared in the company.
face.
Rhett Carr has experience as a senior executive in a large commercial bank and as the chief financial officer of a large multinational company. Before being poached by Oriental Electronics, he was the head of the Asia-Pacific region of Merrill Lynch and was responsible for planning the establishment of the Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong.
After Rhett Carr joined Dingtian Company, he did not directly become the financial director. Bai Zirui created a new position of chief financial officer for him, but this made Xu Jingli's position as financial director a bit embarrassing. Bai Zirui and Xu Jingli had a
After the conversation, she joined ATV, which Bai Zirui had just acquired, as financial director.
Bai Zirui said: "Huang Sheng, Miss Xu Jingli will join Asia Television as the financial director, and join the board of directors as executive director!"
Huang Xizhao smiled and greeted Xu Jingli politely. Originally, the board of directors of Li's TV station had four executive directors and two non-executive directors. Apart from him, the other three of the four executive directors were appointed by Li's company, the major shareholder.
John Guoren will definitely resign with the withdrawal of the parent company this time.
Bai Zirui asked with a smile: "Huang Sheng, I would like to invite Ms. Zhou Liangshuyi, the former general manager of Jiayi TV, to take up the general manager position that will be vacant after you become the chairman of the board of directors. What do you think?"
Huang Xizhao's influence in Li's TV station is not small. He single-handedly promoted the "Three Heroes of Li's", Mai Shanxiong, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, screenwriter Xiao Luoyuan, and Xu Xiaoming. Although Bai Zirui is good at employing people, he does not use others who are suspicious.
, but necessary checks and balances must be reserved, otherwise it will be a tragedy if the boss is completely ignored.
And Zhou Liangshuyi was Bai Zirui's backup plan. Before Bai Zirui and Huang Xizhao met, he was not sure whether he could meet his requirements. It would be best if the two could reach a tacit understanding, in case the negotiation fell apart. With Huang Xizhao in
ATV's influence is likely to cause violent turmoil.
At this time, a strong person is needed to clean up the situation, and Zhou Liang Shuyi is just the most suitable candidate. Zhou Liang Shuyi, a popular figure in the Hong Kong TV circle, was just a weather forecast announcer at the beginning. She was smart and capable. In the mid-1970s, she served as
Producer of TVB programs, and later became assistant general manager of TVB, assuming overall administrative power.
Just when everyone thought her career was flourishing, Zhou Liangshuyi made a very bold decision in 1978, pulling a group of close friends to join Jiayi TV. The reason she gave was to continue to stay at TVB.
There is no challenge anymore, because the ratings have reached 95%, and even the boss said that only 75% is enough.
It's a pity that she switched jobs to Jiayi TV Station. However, she could not help Jiayi TV Station to turn the tide. Jiayi TV Station ceased broadcasting and closed down on August 21, 1978. The fundamental reason was not that Zhou Liangshuyi's ability was not good, but that
Her ambitious reorganization plan did not receive sufficient financial support. The financial resources of Jiashi Boss's boss, Mr. He Zuozhi, could not support her huge plan.
In 1989, she was invited by Lam Bai Yan to serve as the president of Asia Television. All three major TV stations in Hong Kong were under her control. The biggest contribution of Shu Liang Shuyi to Hong Kong movies should be: in 1976, she established the wireless film group and cultivated Tsui Hark, Xu Anhua,
A large number of young directors such as Tan Jiaming, Johnnie To, Zhang Guoming and Yu Yunchang have injected souls into the new wave of Hong Kong films in the future.
Before Bai Zirui invited Huang Xizhao, he had had an interview with this strong woman in advance, and the two parties hit it off immediately. Zhou Liangshuyi has always been worried about her not being in a hurry to make a difference in Jiashi.
In particular, there were rumors that it was her reckless spending that single-handedly destroyed Jiayi TV. This statement made her very dissatisfied and she very much hoped to have a chance to clear her name again.
What's more, Zhou Liangshuyi was born in TVB and is well aware of the weaknesses of TVB. Having her take charge of competing against TVB is no less than a slap in the face to TVB.
This strong woman is not without her weaknesses. Once her ambition to win is too high, she will lose control. Bai Zirui's money doesn't come from strong winds. She needs someone to pour cold water on her.
Huang Xizhao stayed at ATV as the chairman of the board of directors, which just happened to restrain this strong woman and stop her from getting too hot-headed. This combination is undoubtedly the most suitable for Bai Zirui.
At noon the next day, an explosive news suddenly came out in the Hong Kong media circle. Bai Sheng, who had become famous not long ago, had made a new move. He had actually taken over the second largest TV station in Hong Kong without everyone noticing.
——Li’s TV station is included in the bag.
This is the first time that a TV station has been acquired and transferred since the opening of Hong Kong as a port, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Hong Kong. Various gossips were flying all over the place, but the interior of Li's TV station was relatively calm.
