At noon.
The Yi Residence.
In the private room.
Li Dong arrived after Hu Xiaorui.
After sending away the attentive restaurant manager, Li Dong looked around. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No wonder they came up with such a name. It's just to cheat you women of your money. Look at the decoration style. They don't think about men at all."
Hu Xiaorui said matter-of-factly, "It's a fact that women's money is easier to earn than men's. What's more, the financial power is now in the hands of women. Of course, women have priority. "
"That's true."
Li Dong smiled, took off his coat, sat down opposite Hu Xiaorui, and then asked, "Do you really want to move?"
"What's wrong with moving? I didn't ask you to pay for it."
"You know that's not what I mean. Why bother? It's so troublesome to move around. Also, I'm so busy now. Don't make trouble for me. "
Hu Xiaorui said with a bored face, "Did I make trouble for you? I'm just moving. How am I making trouble for you? Don't be unreasonable. Even Zhang Lanyu can move. Why can't I? "
"Okay, okay, it's your freedom to live wherever you want. But Shen Qian is still in confinement …"
"I know. I've said that I don't want to do anything. You're so annoying!"
Hu Xiaorui said impatiently and then shouted, "Waiter, serve the dishes!"
"I haven't ordered yet …"
"I've ordered."
"How can you treat people like this?"
"If you don't want to eat, drink some water."
"…"
Li Dong felt that there was no way to communicate with Hu Xiaorui. When the waiters came in one after another with trays, Li Dong glanced at them and said helplessly, "Who eats this for lunch? What are these? Dessert, beauty soup. Are you sure you're treating me to lunch and not someone else? "
"It's delicious. You'll know after you try it."
Hu Xiaorui replied perfunctorily, then asked, "Is there a banquet for the full moon?"
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how it goes. We might not be able to do it. After all, there are a lot of things to do these days. Moreover, we have to entertain guests one after another. We have to consider your pockets."
"Let's do it. I was too embarrassed to go when Shen Bingshan gave birth. I don't even know what the child looks like. If he held one, he would be able to openly go over and take a look. Let's see if the child is cute. If it is, I'll have one too. "
Li Dong glanced at her and lowered his head to drink his soup.
When Hu Xiaorui saw that he didn't respond, she couldn't help but laugh, "What, are you scared?"
"What am I afraid of?" Li Dong retorted, then changed the topic. "What are your thoughts on acquiring TVB?"
Seeing that he changed the topic, Hu Xiaorui didn't force him to change it back. She thought for a moment and said, "I've looked up the information about the acquisition of TVB and discussed it with the people from East Star. In general, it's not as cost-effective as acquiring a domestic TV station … "
Li Dong rolled his eyes. This was nonsense.
If they could really acquire a domestic TV station, it would naturally be better in China, which would help East Star expand its strength and enhance the overall competitiveness of East Star in the mainland of Hua Xia.
But Li Dong had said before that they could invest in domestic TV stations, and only a small amount.
It was almost impossible for them to invest in a large amount and control the TV station.
Just because they invested in it didn't mean that they would listen to them.
It could only be said that they had a little advantage in the broadcasting of some programs or TV series, but the autonomy was still in the hands of the TV station.
TVB was different, although it was also under the jurisdiction of the SARFT.
But the SARFT's management of Hong Kong TV stations was not too strict, and after the acquisition, East Star would be a major shareholder and would also have autonomy.
The impact on China might be limited, but in other places, it could expand the influence and hard power of East Star.
Hu Xiaorui ignored Li Dong and continued, "But it's also feasible to acquire it. In fact, TVB has also cooperated with many domestic TV stations. After acquiring them, we will find a way to make connections so that TVB's channels can be fully broadcasted in Hua Xia. At present, TVB's TV channels can only be watched in Guangdong Province. In this way, there are many limitations. Once it can be expanded to all parts of Hua Xia, it will be perfect, or we will make a lot of money … "
Li Dong frowned slightly and said, "It's difficult!"
"Almost all TVB's channels are in Cantonese. If we want to be broadcasted in the mainland of Hua Xia, the most basic thing is to change the language! But it's not that we haven't mentioned this matter. The key is that if we change it, Hong Kong won't agree. If we don't change it, the policy won't work. After all, TVB is rooted in Hong Kong. If it causes dissatisfaction in the region, it will not be worth it. Otherwise, do you think the Shao enterprise doesn't want to enter the mainland market after being in charge for so many years? "
Hu Xiaorui snorted softly and said, "If we can really make connections and open up, we can change it! Mandarin has been promoted for many years. It's not like people in Hong Kong can't understand it … "
Li Dong shook his head slightly and said, "That's right, but sometimes we still have to be considerate. In my opinion, it's not a big deal to change it. But this is the national policy and the general trend. It was agreed that there should be two systems. There's no reason to force them to change it for these small things. But it's okay if they don't change it … "
Li Dong said softly, "See if you can talk to the SARFT and let TVB open one or several more channels in the mainland.
It's not impossible.
After all, TVB was bought by East Star, which means that the largest TV station in Hong Kong will be taken over by the mainland.
At this time, they still have to take care of us.
Also, with the opening of the Internet, the government has begun to issue Internet TV licenses. In fact, the influence of traditional TV media has been limited, and blocking it is not very meaningful.
I think it's very likely that it will be approved if we open up a few more channels based on Mandarin.
Once it can really be opened up all over the country, as you said, we will make a lot of money.
TVB's team is complete and has many years of experience. With proper publicity, it will soon occupy a place in the mainland.
This time, we will focus on variety shows. In fact, compared with other TV stations, TVB's variety show strength is still very strong.
In addition, East Star has become popular with several variety shows. Now, under the strong cooperation, if we focus on variety shows, I believe it will soon attract the public's attention.
In addition, there are also advantages to focusing on variety shows. At the very least, it won't involve too much national policy.
As long as the program is not vulgar, in other words, we create a series of positive variety shows, the country may strongly support us in the future. "
"Positive?"
Hu Xiaorui stirred the spoon and said thoughtfully, "This is really a bit of a test. After all, variety shows focus on fun. To not be vulgar in fun and full of positive energy, the requirements for the program production team are very high. I have seen a lot of variety shows in Hong Kong. Some of them are funny and fun, but they often criticize current politics and use vulgar language … "
"It depends on how East Star operates. As for the production, I don't have good suggestions now. All in all, the acquisition is still cost-effective. In fact, the urgent matter is not to consider these, but whether East Star can successfully acquire it. Although the Shao enterprise is close to the mainland, it has been rooted in Hong Kong for many years. We are outsiders. At this time, if it is sold to us … "
Li Dong suddenly said, "But it doesn't matter. Mr. Shao is a hundred years old, and I'm afraid he won't care about this. Besides, I heard that Sixth Uncle is a more practical person. At this time, it is more appropriate to talk about money. He is old, and at this time, he is more concerned about his family and descendants. It is more important to build a good relationship with me, Li Dong, or to build a good relationship with some local tycoons in Hong Kong. I think although Mr. Shao is old, he still understands it. It is a lot of money, and he can make a good impression for his descendants. In fact, the result is doomed. "
Hu Xiaorui said with a smile, "I like your confidence. I heard that the guy who is going to steal the business has a good relationship with Changjiang. Are you sure that the Shao enterprise will choose you instead of Changjiang?"
Li Dong said indifferently, "There is nothing to be sure about. Changjiang is very powerful, and I have never denied it. But Old Li is old, and Old Li is more realistic than me. Sixth Uncle has been rooted in Hong Kong for so many years. Don't you know it? I am different. I am young, younger than Sixth Uncle's great-grandson. Is it better to make friends with me, a young man, or indirectly to make a deal with Old Li? It is not Old Li who will buy it in person. A person who is not related to me wants to make a deal with me, Li Dong. Is there any competition? "
"So, as long as the money is in place, TVB is in our pocket?"
"Almost."
"Then I will really take action. East Star doesn't have much capital now. 5 billion is not a small amount. When I talked with others, we all agreed that we might not be able to get it if it is less than 8 billion yuan.
Even if I raise 5 billion yuan, there is still a gap of 3 billion yuan.
You know the Shao enterprise, and I also know that they won't give us credit.
It is a little difficult to make installments!
And I don't want to be sloppy and completely remove the Shao enterprise's influence. Only in this way can we have the foundation to enter the Hua Xia market. So I am afraid that the money must be in place as soon as possible.
When can you get the 3 billion yuan? "
Li Dong was a little confused. After a while, he said, "If it is really impossible, we can ask your parents to lend us a loan …"
Hu Xiaorui said angrily, "How long do you want me to cheat my parents? In the past few years, if we add the 5 billion yuan, we have almost cheated tens of billions of yuan. If they still had to make an appearance at this time, then East Star would be finished, and all their hard work would be gone. You came up with the idea, and you have to share the risk. If you don't pay, I won't talk about it. "
Li Dong thought for a moment and said after a while, "I really can't get the money now. How about asking Shen Qian …"
"I won't cooperate with her!"
Hu Xiaorui refused without thinking and said angrily, "When you transferred the shares of East Star to her, I was not happy. So when you withdrew the shares, I didn't object. Now I want you to invest, not her. Can't you get 3 billion yuan? If you can't, then use East Star as a mortgage. You owe the money first … "
Li Dong smiled bitterly, "So you want me to get something for nothing?
I know you don't care about money, but you don't care. If I do this, your parents will come to my office and smash me to death with a hammer.
As your parents, they will feel guilty if they raise daughters like you.
If my daughter becomes like this in the future, I will also want to smash her to death.
Well, Longhua's stock price has been doing well recently and has risen to HK $8.80 per share.
I still have 2 billion shares in my hands. Although I can't sell them now, I can still mortgage them.
With so many shares, it's not difficult to mortgage billions.
"You talk about it first. When I need money, I will ask someone to mortgage it. It's not a problem to get 3 billion yuan, and I don't want 30% of the shares. After buying TVB, the value of East Star will probably be close to 20 billion yuan.
"Give me 15%. Let's talk about the money clearly.
Sometimes, the more vague it is, the more it hurts. "
Hu Xiaorui didn't care. She nodded and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, you are rich now. Then it's settled. I will take people to Xiangjiang in a few days. Do you want to go? If you go, let's go together. "
Li Dong shook his head. "I won't be going. I've been going there too many times these past few days. I'll get Bai Feng to go with you later. I'll also get Bai Feng to visit the Old Master on Distance's behalf."
"Aren't you afraid that others will say you are arrogant?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's fine as long as the etiquette is there. More importantly, the benefits are there. Let's put it this way. Call me when you are in trouble. "
"…"
The two talked about work for a while. After talking about this, Hu Xiaorui suddenly asked, "Have you been in contact with Sister Yuhan recently?"
Li Dong looked up at her. Hu Xiaorui said innocently, "I was just asking. Why are you looking at me? I called Sister Yuhan the other day and talked for a while. She has started a new business. Recently, she seems to have gone to the capital to expand the market there. Do you know about this? "
"Yes."
"Then do you think there is room for cooperation between East Star and the ordering website?"
Li Dong said in surprise, "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"
Hu Xiaorui said matter-of-factly, "There are many places for cooperation. For example, the ordering website we are cooperating with now can also sell movie tickets. In fact, you can also order takeout to watch movies. Of course, I'm talking about snacks like popcorn. It's good to have a one-stop service. Actually, I think Wan Tong can also cooperate with the ordering website … "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "That's not cooperation. If I do takeout, the ordering website will not have much value. In fact, I don't want to do it. It's not cost-effective to do online takeout. The profit margin is limited, and the initial investment is huge. I've told Yuhan before that when I really want to do it, I can harvest the fruits from their companies. There's no need to do it myself … "
Hu Xiaorui suddenly said, "So, you guys are still in contact?"
Li Dong did not say anything. Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, you're married and have a child. You're still in contact with your ex-girlfriend. Does Shen Bingshan know that you're in contact with her often? You can even contact your ex-girlfriend. Why are you so heartless when it comes to me? I seem to have a much lower presence than Sister Yuhan. Li Dong, do you think you've let me down? "
Li Dong said angrily, "Don't use such a tone. How have I let you down?
Tell me, am I not wronged?
Recently, I realized that I'm more wronged than anyone else!
My secretaries are all saying that I've taken them in. Far away, a few female executives are also having an affair with me, Li Dong. That's not all. Everyone who is related to me is saying that they're having an affair with me, Li Dong.
Zhang Lanyu is the same. She has a tone that says that I'm the one who harmed her. Tell me, am I not wronged?
You too!
Alright, I'll take all of this. The key is, what's going on with Hsu Shengzhe? I'm not a man and woman, right?
Now that even he has become my slave, who can I reason with?
These few years, I've been busy like a spinning top. Those guys outside are really daring. Dozens of them. Even if I have fun every day, I can't take care of them all, can I?
If I really have so many women, will I still have the energy to run my business?
Use your brain! "
"Pfft …"
Hu Xiaorui suddenly burst into laughter. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't say anymore. If you continue, I'll spit on your face. Let them say whatever they want. They're just jealous. Why do you care about this? Look at us. We don't care. Let them say whatever they want. We won't lose anything … "
Li Dong ignored her. He wiped his mouth and stood up. "I'm done. I have something to do in the afternoon. I'll be leaving first."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I'll go with you."
"I'm going back to Far away. What are you going to do with me?"
"Far away. I haven't been there for a long time." Hu Xiaorui packed her things as she walked out. "Li Dong, what do you think about letting your daughter recognize me as her godmother when she's one month old?"
"Not much."
"If she recognizes me as her godmother, I might hand over East Star to her in the future. You're not willing to make money like this?"
"If you have the ability, you can talk to Shen Qian …"
Li Dong said this, but Hu Xiaorui nodded and said, "That seems to be true. I'll ask later. If we become godparents, it'll be perfectly justifiable for me to visit your goddaughter in the future. Don't you think so? However, Shen Bingshan might not dare to. After all, I wouldn't be willing to lead a wolf into the house either … "
The words' lead a wolf into the house 'made Li Dong's face black.
Who would say that about themselves?
Hu Xiaorui didn't care about this. As she pondered, she muttered, "Shen Bingshan can't do it. Why don't I recognize Little Shitou as my goddaughter? Xiaoyu is a little older. Little Shitou can be intimate with me. Maybe it'll work. If I don't get married, no one will lend me children. In the future, no one will inherit the family business, so I'll just hand it over to Little Shitou … "
She said it like a joke, but Li Dong couldn't help but tremble in his heart. After a while, he said, "Don't think about these things. You're still young. Is it your turn to think about who will inherit the family business?"
Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Am I young? Which eye of yours thinks I'm young? "
Li Dong rolled his eyes and ignored her.
When they got in the car and saw Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui get in the car together, Tan Yong, who was driving, had a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that the foreign trust fund could add a beneficiary's name.
He had been worried to death about this matter for the past few days.
Now, it was a perfect solution.
Thinking of this, Tan Yong couldn't help but smile.
Li Dong glanced at him through the rearview mirror and then said in a bad mood, "Drive, what are you smiling about?!"
Tan Yong immediately stopped laughing. Although Hu Xiaorui didn't know what the two of them were talking about, she seemed to have a feeling and said with a smile, "Brother Tan, next time I have time, I'll treat you to a meal. If Li Dong scolds you again, you can come to work at East Star. It's the same anyway."
Tan Yong was embarrassed and didn't dare to respond.
