Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 229 Target Jardine

   As for the former Jardine Group, to be honest, Yang Chen really doesn’t like it, especially the Jardine’s predecessor, Jardine’s, which has brought all kinds of harm to the Chinese people, I believe no one will ever forget it.

  If it wasn't for the Keswick family who bought all the Jardine's shares in the Jardine family, they became the major shareholders of Jardine.

  Yang Chen believes that it is almost impossible for Yihe to enter the inland in the future.

   As one of the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, he had previously attacked Xue's manufacturing industry. If Yang Chen didn't teach him a profound lesson, it would obviously be a little bit incompatible with his identity as a reborn.

   Moreover, Yang Chen is now particularly envious of the milk company in the hands of the other party. This company occupies a large share of the Hong Kong retail market. Yang Chen has been eyeing it a long time ago.

   Of course, Yang Chen is not blindly arrogant.

   The main reason why he dared to target the milk company under the four major foreign firms was the subsequent series of incidents in which the Jardine Group dug a hole and buried himself in it.

  In 1980, with the help of HSBC Bank, Li Jiacheng successfully controlled Hutchison Whampoa, the then chairman of Jardine He Group, New Bijian, wanted to prevent criminals from the Chinese consortium.

   came up with the idea of ​​holding mutual control between Jardine He Group and its subsidiary Landmark, in order to dispel the outside world's spy on the two companies.

   After a series of dazzling integrations and spending huge sums of money, Jardine finally made itself and Landmark mutual control, gaining a great advantage in equity.

  Unfortunately, New Bijian, the chairman of the Jardine Group, was still uneasy, and immediately started a series of crazy acquisitions.

  Land has successively acquired the control rights of HK Electric and Hong Kong Telephone Company, making the assets of Landmark reach an eye-popping level.

   And the price is that Land Land has been burdened with huge debts for this, and its internal liquidity has been exhausted.

  If the general environment is good, with a number of excellent assets at hand, Jardine will be able to recover quickly.

  Unfortunately, Jardine chose the wrong time and place.

   In 1982, China and the United Kingdom started negotiations on the Hong Kong issue. Under the insistence of an old man in the inland, the United Kingdom did not take any advantage, and the return of Hong Kong became an inevitable event.

After the news of    spread, the entire Hong Kong stock market fell sharply, and the foreign capital of the Jardine Group fell the most.

  Under the influence of the general environment, while Jardine's share price fell, it had to bear the huge loans borrowed from a series of previous acquisitions.

  High-interest debt made Jardine's finances worse.

   In this case, Jardine had to repackage a series of previous acquisitions at a low price.

   Xiangjiang Telephone and Xiangjiang Electric have changed hands successively. The previous series of acquisitions became the biggest joke of Jardine.

   At that time, under any circumstances, no one could take care of themselves, and Jardine was still in a state of embarrassment without any foreign enemies, and needed to sell a lot of assets to recover blood.

   If Yang Chen gets a lot of money into the stock market at that time, he will directly short the major companies under the Jardine Group.

   Which is sour, absolutely conceivable.

   Once he can successfully cut off a piece of fat on Jardine, then he will be another man who dares to open fire on the four foreign companies after the charter king and Li's richest man.

  Yang Chen is not afraid of Yihe, the giant, he is sure that the other party will make a big somersault on it next.

  Different from the previous life, the other party slowly recovered after selling a series of assets. This time Yang Chen was going to dig a huge pit and let the other party fall into the abyss, unable to get up even if he wanted to.

   Seeing Yang Chen's confident look, Huang Xizhao seemed to be greatly infected, and the worries on his face disappeared.

  Huang Xizhao took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay, boss, I know what to do."

   Since his own boss is not afraid, what should he be afraid of as an employee?

   As for the consequences, he doesn't think he can have any consequences, as long as Yang Chen doesn't fall, he can continue to be his general manager of ATV.

  If Yang Chen fell, he would just slap his **** and quit this general manager.

  In any case, given his situation, there are not many people who can continue to delegate power to him like Yang Chen, and let him continue to be the general manager of ATV.

  Since this position can only be held firmly with Yang Chen, then he has nothing to hesitate.

  'Done' Huang Xizhao gritted his teeth and decided to go crazy with Yang Chen.

  When faced with a powerful enemy, people are either weak or brave.

   Although Jardine is very powerful, the other party does not have much influence in the media industry, and it is only advertisers who can threaten ATV.

  Nowadays, Chinese businessmen have gradually risen, and British-funded consortiums are no longer as strong as they used to be, and many advertisers may not necessarily sell Jardine's face.

   What's more, the current backstage boss of ATV is Yang Chen, as long as he can give ATV a steady stream of blood transfusions, even without most of the advertisers, ATV can still live very well.

Seeing Huang Xizhao like this, Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction. As the general manager of ATV, if he is a big boss who supports him and is still timid, he really needs to consider whether he should change the general manager candidate. .

   Now that he is in charge of ATV, the era of Li's voice is gone forever, Yang Chen, who holds 60% of ATV's shares, doesn't need to worry too much.

   Now most of ATV's shareholders have not made a sound, it is just like watching a good show. If he shows a little weakness here, other shareholders will inevitably jump out.

   Instead of facing a bunch of enemies at that time, it is better to be tough at the beginning. At that time, other shareholders will not be able to ask for benefits when they see Yihe, and their careful thinking will naturally be withdrawn.

   Seeing that it was quite stuffy in the car, Yang Chen had nothing to say and asked, "By the way, Manager Huang, how is Director Xu Xiaoming preparing now?"

  Huang Xizhao heard the words and responded: "It's almost ready, we can shoot in a few days."

   Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but not be happy, instead he frowned and asked, "Is it so fast? Director Xu doesn't have to go to the inland to take pictures?"

   "Inland framing" Huang Xizhao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.

   Seeing Huang Xizhao's reaction, Yang Chen immediately understood. As a later generation, Yang Chen is very aware of the concerns of Huang Xizhao and others in this era.

   However, Yang Chen didn't care about it.

   "The song I wrote for the hero Huo Yuanjia is not just for the audience to listen to, but also for the audience to see the great rivers and mountains of our motherland with their own eyes.

  Since there are the Great Wall and the Yellow River in the lyrics, how can these backgrounds be lacking in the TV series?

In this place, people come and go to take pictures without knowing how many times they have taken them. The audience has long been tired of watching them. I said that ATV will only do its own thing seriously in the future, and will not deliberately favor which side, you don’t need to. There are concerns about this. "

   "As for what the consequences will be after the filming is over, it's all in the future. The big deal is losing a market."

   "The earth will not go on because of the lack of someone. In the same way, ATV will not have no way to survive because of the lack of the market in that place.

  You ask Director Xu and the actors not to have too many concerns. I invest so much money every year, are they afraid that there will be no scenes to be filmed? "

  Although the development of the bay is much faster than that of the inland, the potential of the bay is limited, and it can no longer be improved when it develops to a stage.

   On the contrary, the inland is vast and abundant, coupled with the advantage of population, the late-stage potential is far from being comparable to that of Wanwan.

   From the very beginning, Yang Chen had a choice, and the reason why he didn't show it was because everyone was a family.

  There is a conflict within the family, he can't go to add fuel to the fire, sticking the bones to the tendons, some things cannot be separated if some people want to separate.

  Blood is thicker than water. Sooner or later, what should come back will come back.
