Chapter 608 It doesn’t matter whether it is trustworthy or not(2/2)
Li Ka-shing's success is very familiar with Hong Kong people. One of the key points is that he met Shen Bi, a senior member of HSBC Bank at that time.
It can be said that without Shen Bi's strong help back then, Li Ka-shing, the richest man who is now famous in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, Li Ka-shing has maintained a good relationship with HSBC for many years.
In the early 1980s, Li Ka-shing served as a director of HSBC Bank, and several years later he became the executive vice chairman of HSBC Bank's board of directors.
However, in 1992, Li Ka-shing first gave the name of the "Commercial Committee" in Xiangjiang to his eldest son Li Zeju.
This conference is called the "Xiangjiang Commerce Bureau" conference. It has an extraordinary status and great significance in the business world. All the people attending the conference have been extremely famous and prominent figures in the business world of Xiangjiang.
In the business committee that year, a total of 18 business celebrities and 3 unofficial lawmakers participated. Li Zeju, who was only 28 years old at the time, was terrifyingly young among the big guys.
That year, Li Ka-shing did something that surprised the business community in Xiangjiang.
Without any warning, he resigned from HSBC's executive vice chairmanship.
This approach immediately aroused various suspicions from the outside world at that time, thinking that there was something happening inside Cheung Kong.
Just as everyone stared wide and prepared to find out, a public announcement from HSBC Bank completely eliminated public concerns. Li Zeju entered the board of directors of HSBC Bank and served as a director.
After two incidents, Li Ka-shing conveyed a clear signal to the Xiangjiang society that he was paving the way for his eldest son to succeed.
Li Ka-shing is Liang Botao's Bole, and has been taking good care of him for many years.
If the Li family really participates in this matter, then Liang Botao will have to consider avoiding suspicion.
Tao Yushu saw that he looked puzzled and looked calm. What she said just now was both a test and a harsh attack.
Business competition, alliances and alliances. In the small society of Xiangjiang, Tao Yushu and the Li family are in the same circle. If it is really a competition between the two sides, it will be difficult for them to avoid the problem of acquaintances.
Liang Botao was able to inform Tao Yushu of the HSBC loan, which won some of Tao Yushu's trust, but this trust was not solid. Obviously, Liang Botao also understood this truth.
He was confused and looked at a little bit of ambition. After a while, he was silent, he said, "The Li family and News Group have a chance to join forces. First, it is because they have always wanted to master the media. Second, Star TV was once in the hands of the Li family, and now Star TV is developing so well-"
He paused for a moment and then said, "But I think the probability of this is still relatively low, and the probability of them following the flow is relatively high."
After saying these words, Liang Botao looked at Tao Yushu with a calm and sincere expression.
"If Mrs. Lin feels worried, we Baifuqin can quit this matter-
Tao Yushu waved his hand and interrupted Liang Botao's words. She had no intention of analyzing whether Liang Botao's move was to retreat or to have a clear conscience, but these were no longer important now.
She took a step towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and the skyscrapers outside the window were lined with clouds, gathering the essence of a city.
"The so-called doubts are not used, but people are not used. Bo Tao, you and Baifuqin make an indelible contribution to these companies that have reached this day.
Our cooperation can be called intimate, and I will not give up a long-term partner just because of an ambiguous speculation."
Tao Yushu's words made Liang Botao feel a little warm in his heart, and the lines on his face softened, "Teacher Lin,
Thank you for your trust in me and Baifuqin. We will do our best to never let you and the company suffer any losses."
Listening to Liang Botao's loyalty, Tao Yushu nodded with a light chuckling.
Liang Botao asked again, "Teacher Lin, there are more and more directive information now. Can we prepare for a counterattack against News Corporation?"
Tao Yushudu said, "It's not in a hurry to ask you to get into the trap."
Lai Wanqinli sent Liang Botao out of the office. Tao Yushu turned around and looked out of the glass window. The towering buildings reflected in his eyes, as if he had filled the prosperity of the city.
"Do you think he is trustworthy?"
Tao Yumo entered the office at some point, and Tao Yushu expressed dissatisfaction with this, "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"
"I think your door is not closed."
"If it's not locked, it means it's not closed, right?"
Tao Yumo sat in the chair at the top, walked around, with a relaxed look, without any nervousness of being questioned by the boss.
"This chair is really good!"
Tao Yushu looked at her quietly and enjoyed her for a while. Tao Yumo got up and came to the window, stood side by side with her sister, enjoying the scenery above.
"You haven't answered me yet. Do you think that Liang Botao is trustworthy?"
Tao Yushu said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether he is trustworthy or not."
Thinking about Tao Yushu's tone, Tao Yumo asked, "From what you mean, he may not be able to participate in this matter?"
"No, of course I will participate, but--" Tao Yushu looked out the window intently, "Since he was a less important identity."
Tao Yumo thoughtful when he heard this.
A week later, a news suddenly broke out from the "New News" saying that Oriental Newspaper was in contact with the South China Morning Post Group.
Trying to acquire the other party.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused heated discussions in the Xiangjiang press.
Oriental Newspaper and South China Morning Post Group are both top five newspaper groups in Xiangjiang. Once the two parties merge,
It will immediately become the leader of the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang.
Even Mingpao companies whose market value has exceeded HK$130 will probably be three points shorter.
There were many different opinions from the outside world. For a moment, Oriental Newspaper and South China Morning Post Group were pushed to the forefront.
Such an important news event has attracted many media research and investigation.
Many reporters contacted the two companies, but the answers they got were no.
But at the same time, the response from South China Morning Post Group was a bit warm.
""... South China Morning Post Group is committed to building the top news media in Asia. If there is a suitable opportunity, we are very happy to cooperate with colleagues in the press in Hong Kong."
This response from the South China Morning Post Group has aroused many speculations from the mass media, but there is no empirical evidence after all, so it can only be regarded as a signal from the South China Morning Post Group to the outside world.
As for whether their purpose is to attract potential investors, it is unknown.
There is no evidence for the heated discussion caused by the South China Morning Post Group in the press, and it did not last long. In just three or four days, no one paid attention to this news.
In the following days, the global script solicitation event held by Lin's Film and Star TV and Star TV attracted a lot of attention from the media.
The solicitation of scripts is a matter of news in the professional field, and it should not be public attention, but it cannot withstand the promising performance of Lin's Pictures and Star TV.
This script collection activity is aimed at 18 countries and regions around the world, mainly Chinese and English bilingual, with a total of 14 first, second and third prizes, and 30 places to win.
According to the activity regulations, 30 winning works can be entered into the copyright library of Lin's Pictures and Star TV, and the screenwriter will receive a reward of HK$100,000.
If the movie is produced by Lin's Pictures in the future, the screenwriter will enjoy the profit and dividends of the work.
The conditions for first, second and third prizes are more favorable than the winning works, with the prizes of HK$2 million and 10 respectively
HK$00,000 and HK$500,000.
In addition, these works will have the opportunity to produce and filming will be launched in the next one to three years.
For example, the first prize winner will become an S-level project within Lin's Pictures and Star TV. Not only will the investment ceiling be high, but the production team is also the top in the industry, including subsequent publicity and distribution benefits, they are all first-class.
During a global script solicitation event, Lin's Film and Star TV spent HK$1,000 for only the bonus, and the script fee and dividend were calculated separately.
Lin's Film now has considerable influence in China, the United States, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. With a wealth of money, this event immediately became a highly-watched project in the local film and television industry, attracting the attention and participation of many young practitioners.
Time flies in April, and recently another news broke in the press, saying that News Group, the major shareholder of South China Morning Post Group, is in contact with Kerry Media controlled by Malaysian billionaire Guo Henian, and seems to be interested in selling it.
More than half a month ago, news came out of contact with the South China Morning Post Group, and now there is a Kerry Media. Many media believe that the sale of the South China Morning Post Group does not seem to be groundless.
Standing at the highest point of the Central Ring Road, Tao Yushu condescends.
On the desk behind her was the "Xinbao" this morning, which was published on it that the South China Morning Post Group and Kerry Media were suspected of negotiating for sale.
At this time, a knock came from the door.
Lai Wanqin walked into the office, "Madame Lin, she is here!"
Tao Yushu turned around and pointed his head slightly, indicating that Lai Wanqin would bring in in the future.
"Mr. Cai, I'm very happy to see you!"
