Chapter 308
"Sorry, it's rare to see people from my hometown. I can't stop my emotions. I'll just say some disappointing words to make you laugh."
Luo Yuxiong raised his goblet with bright red wine sauce and said with a smile: "I'll give you a toast first, thank you for your assistance to Qiqi and our family over the past period."
"This child has been studying with me since graduation. Seeing her gradually showing her talent, she entrusted her with the important matter of supervising the hotel in Yunjiang. But in fact, I don't know how many times I have been worried about it in private. Fortunately, she met noble people through great luck, and with the help of you and Director Wu, she can be so smooth."
"You are so serious, wncle." Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Actually, Jiaqi is very talented and lacks only practice and opportunities. In my opinion, within three years, she will be able to take on the responsibility. Then you can enjoy peace and happiness."
Luo Yuxiong comforted and smiled, nodded and said, "I hope so, otherwise there will be no successor to such a huge family business..."
"Daddy has his younger brother and others?" Luo Jiaqi glanced at Chen Xiao with scruples.
Luo Yuxiong shook his head. It was obvious that the younger generation in the family disappointed him. The only one who can hold high hopes for him is this young daughter. It’s just that the girl is older but not for the rest. It is undoubtedly difficult for a woman to take on the responsibility of continuing the family. Regardless of the opposition of the family members, the issue of choosing a son-in-law in the future is enough to make people worry.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuxiong glanced at Chen Xiao and felt sorry for him. In terms of his preliminary impression and family background, he was naturally quite satisfied and was happy to see his daughter’s interactions with him. It’s a pity that this man is already a married man, and the woman’s background is also very deep. Otherwise, this marriage would be enough to pave the way for the family’s future prosperity!
However, if the in-laws cannot do it, it does not mean that the alliance cannot do it. If we can really build this network of relationships, the current problems will be solved!
After clinking glasses with Chen Xiao, Luo Yuxiong said casually: "By the way, I heard from Qiqi that you were sent by your unit to inspect and study on Phoenix TV?"
"If you can't find an investigation, you'll have more knowledge and won't be a frog in the well."
Luo Yuxiong nodded and smiled: "Actually, I have also been negotiating with Phoenix TV recently.
Chen Xiao's heart moved and said, "Discuss business cooperation?"
"That's right." Luo Yuxiong explained: "Although our family is mainly engaged in the hotel industry, we have already started looking for opportunities to get involved in the media industry. Recently, I heard that Phoenix TV intends to transfer its ATV, so I came to the door."
Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly solidified. He had expected that Luo Yuxiong had invited him to come for another purpose, but he didn't expect that the one who was looking at it was ATV!
ATV, full name Asian TV, is the world's first Chinese-language TV station. It is also the two major media giants in Xiangjiang and TVB. Its viewing range covers nearly 100 million users around the world and has a great influence.
But rigorously, it is not an industry under Phoenix TV. However, a few years ago, in order to further strengthen its ideological control in Xiangjiang, the central government appointed two merchants with state-owned assets to acquire them, gradually turning ATV's political orientation to the left. These two merchants with state-owned assets are the two major shareholders of Phoenix TV!
However, the acquisition of these two state-owned businessmen failed to reverse the dilemma of ATV in business. In addition, the background of state-owned assets has always attracted criticism from the people of Xiangjiang. Based on these two points, the central government began to have the idea of transferring it to Hong Kong businessmen.
According to the memories of his previous life, Chen Xiao remembered that ATV seemed to have officially reached a transfer agreement next year, and the acquirer was a well-known chaebol in Xiangjiang. Of course, due to his close ties with the central government, the purpose of the acquisition was self-evident.
At present, Chen Xiao’s intention to Luo Yuxiong is as clear as watching the fire. It is clearly that Zhuang Gong’s sword dance is in Pei Gong. The second and most fundamental purpose is to take the opportunity to cater to the central government’s policy!
You should know that if the Luo family can really successfully win ATV, it will be closely linked to the central government. As long as you follow the situation, you will not only receive abundant and strong support, but also have unique advantages in the political and economic undertakings in the mainland in the future!
A complete business project that can make a profit without losing money!
Seeing Chen Xiao remained silent, Luo Yu's ambition changed rapidly and said with a smile: "It's just that the current situation is full of competitors, and when it comes to the relationship with the senior executives of Phoenix TV... Alas, it's better not to mention it!"
Chen Xiao smiled, knowing that he was exploring whether he had any intention to cooperate with the Luo family.
Although the Luo family is extremely powerful, it is really inconspicuous in Xiangjiang, where merchants and powerful people gather, let alone the relationship with the central government, and there is no advantage at all.
It is true that the old man of the Luo family has been fighting for the country for half his life, but not all the veterans who are familiar with the capital are left. Since the return of 1997, there have been countless merchants and clans who have contacted the central government. With this feeling alone, the central government will sell this huge face, which is undoubtedly a dream!
Obviously, the two big families behind him have become the bargaining chips that Luo Yuxiong strives for!
After pondering for a while, Chen Xiao replied: "Acquiring ATV is indeed a great project. And as far as I know, even if I have returned for many years, many Hong Kong people do not have a strong sense of belonging. Therefore, in ideological propaganda, the central government has always hoped that appropriate Hong Kong businessmen can take on important tasks and contribute to the cultural exchanges between the mainland and Xiangjiang. If WNCl really has this idea, it will be something that many people would be happy to see."
Luo Yuxiong's heart thumped, and he smiled calmly, "I'm afraid I'm powerless."
"It's because of humans. How can I know the result if I don't try it?" Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Well, wncle, I happened to have a friend working on Phoenix TV. I asked her to help me find out the situation. If the situation is true, I can find friends in the capital to see if I can provide some help."
Luo Yuxiong was overjoyed. If everything really happened, it would be almost time to get ahead of Luo's family's success!
"That's good, but if this happens, will it add to you? "
"I can't say that I'm sorry, but I just make a few more calls. You have to raise funds in advance. If you invest in ATV, you can't play without hundreds of millions of dollars.
"In this regard, I have already considered it. The funds to invest in ATV will cost about HK$1 billion. In addition to some working capital, several hotels can still be mortgaged. It is a full plan and can be barely enough, but the subsequent operation will be more difficult." Luo Yuxiong pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "So, if I really want to win ATV, I must find a partner with abundant financial resources, but I don't know where to look for it for a while."
Chen Xiao was waiting for this sentence and said with a smile: "If you are really determined to win, I can do my part. Anyway, I still have some extra money at home. As long as you don't mind, we can share it. What do you think?"
"I can't find it!"
Luo Yuxiong smiled happily, his gentle face was red at this moment. He didn't care about ATV. What he really cared about was to get strong support from the central government. He suppressed his throbbing and said proudly: "To be honest, this problem has made me not sleep well for a while. Regardless of whether I can succeed in the end, at least now, we have to raise our glasses and wish our first cooperation a happy first time!"
Chen Xiao shook his glass and raised his head to drink.
Amid the laughter of the two men, only Luo Jiaqi's crescent eyebrows gradually frowned, and she seemed to be worried.
Unlike the treatment he received when he was on the appointment, this time, Chen Xiao was personally accompanied by the helmsman of the Luo family. If it weren't for their own trivial matters, he would have drunk and talked until midnight!
"Daddy, go back to have a cup of ginseng tea and relieve the pub, I will send Chen Xiao back."
Luo Jiaqi waved her hand to the door, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away the same way. However, compared to the previous chat and laughter, the atmosphere at this moment seemed a little heavier. After a while, she suddenly said softly: "Chen Xiao...I'm sorry."
Chen Xiao glanced at the side face that was as bright as autumn moon and smiled and said, "It's just mutual benefit, what's the embarrassment?"
Taking a stake in ATV will be of great help to yourself and your family. With this media standing in the international metropolis, in other words, it will also have a trump card that affects the capital's power structure!
It is often said that the gun is the foundation of the founding of the country, but the energy hidden behind the scenes of the pen is far beyond the imagination of people, and it can even be concluded that without the propaganda system of the party and the country, this world is no longer the world now!
Luo Jiaqi bulged her cheeks and murmured softly: "But I... just don't want my relationship with you to have too many utilitarian elements."
"What's the point of doing things or not, it's just that you're too concerned about it." Chen Xiao smiled and said, "As long as cooperation can win, why give up this piece of fat? Besides, without your family's channels, even if I have money, I can't get half a share of ATV!"
This is the truth. The central government does want to use state-owned assets to indirectly control ATV, but it will never be so stupid that it allows state-owned assets to intervene directly, so as not to give the population a solid amount. Therefore, an appropriate spokesperson for Hong Kong business is particularly important!
Luo Jiaqi smiled and said in a lengthened voice: "You always make sense, but business is business, and I owe you a favor again. I don't know how to repay it. I feel very debt-related."
Chen Xiao smiled, looked at the time, and said, "It's up to you, I'm not full. You'll treat it tonight's late-night snack."
Luo Jiaqi's bright eyes flashed, and she understood that he was giving herself a step, and her heart warmed slightly. Zhan Yan said, "What do you want to eat, Western food or Japanese and Korean cuisine?"
"Just find some roadside stalls."
"Then I really don't know where to go for a while..." Luo Jiaqi tilted her head and scratched her ears, and planned to call and ask someone, but as soon as she took out the phone, she rang out suddenly. After listening to a few words, her face suddenly turned dark and she said quickly: "Where is the hospital, I'll go there right away!"
Chen Xiao frowned, and after she put down her phone, she said, "What's wrong?"
Luo Jiaqi bit her lip and said anxiously: "My brother and I have fought in Lan Kwai Fong and are now in the hospital!"
