I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

October 4th was the afternoon of the fourth day after Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu arrived in Hong Kong Island.

Li Zhe took Zhou Ziyu to No. 25-37 Tai Shing Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, New Territories, to visit the ATV building.

ATV was once one of the TV giants in Hong Kong Island. It was on par with TVB and the two sides had been fighting for 40 years.

TVB has wireless training classes, and ATV has ATV training classes.

TVB has the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, and ATV has the Miss Asia Pageant.

But this old TV station, which produced a series of classic TV series such as "Fearless Heroes", "Fist of Fury", and "Zombie Taoist", closed down in 2016.

And TVB is also declining.

In September last year, Wang Zheng, the chairman of the board of directors of a real estate company, invested 2 billion yuan to acquire more than 50% of the equity. He confidently joined ATV and promised that he would use 20 years to build ATV into "Asia's CNN."

However, it has been a year since he took over ATV, but ATV's predicament has not changed. On the contrary, equity disputes continue.

As soon as Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu came to the door of the ATV building, a middle-aged man in his thirties greeted them.

"Li Sheng, you are welcome to come and visit."

Li Zhe shook hands with the other party and said, "Manager Cai, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The other party is the general manager of ATV in charge of television business, named Cai Changxu.

Accompanied by Cai Changxu, Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu walked around the ATV building.

News Department, Variety Show Production Department, TV Series Production Department...

Looking at the empty studio, Li Zhe turned to ask Manager Cai, "Aren't there any new dramas starting filming recently?"

Cai Changxu sighed lightly and said, "I don't have money, and I can't even pay my employees' monthly rations (salaries), and there are still new movies to shoot!"

"Wang Sheng has a loud tone and fails to do what he does."

There was complaint and dissatisfaction in his tone.

This year, ATV was unable to pay wages for six months and was almost liquidated. However, former executive director Sheng Jia provided financial assistance and was able to temporarily tide over the difficulties.

Li Zhe smiled faintly and did not answer.

This Cai Changxu is from the CEO Hu Keying, and he is not the same as the new ATV host Wang Zheng.

When Cai Changxu left for business, Zhou Ziyu glanced at Li Zhe and said thoughtfully: "Husband, you are not planning to acquire ATV, are you?"

Li Zhe was stunned for a moment and said with some surprise: "How did you figure it out?"

Zhou Ziyu chuckled, "You never do anything without a purpose."

"Besides, if you want to visit a TV station, wouldn't TVB be more suitable?"

Li Zhe also smiled, "You guessed it...half of it right."

"Why half?"

"I have plans to acquire ATV, but you will be the one to take over ATV."

Li Zhe has actually been thinking about ATV for a long time. It is impossible for the mainland to allow private capital to invest in TV stations.

If you want to occupy the Southeast Asian market, you must control a TV station that can radiate to Southeast Asia.

ATV, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, is the best choice.

But now is not the right time. First, his qualifications and prestige are not enough.

In the next two years, no one will be willing to take over the mess of ATV. He has also become one of the richest men in the country. Only by bringing billions of funds to ATV can the whole ATV and the people of Hong Kong believe that he can save ATV. .

Second, he is not a Hong Kong citizen and does not meet the requirement that ATV must be run by Hong Kong people.

In other words, no matter how much money Li Zhe has, he is not qualified to take over ATV.

"Let me join ATV?" Zhou Ziyu was stunned, her heart beating uncontrollably.

Taking control of a regional TV station will immediately change your identity and status. The temptation is too great.

Yifu Shao became Sir Shao just because he controlled TVB.

After Zhou Ziyu came to his senses, he quickly shook his head, "No, I don't have enough status. How can I be qualified to control the TV station?"

"Husband, you'd better come in person!"

Li Zhe said nonchalantly: "If your status is not enough, just let it be enough. When the child is born next year, you will become a Hong Kong citizen, and then I will give you a director's quota."

"When the time comes, you will join ATV as a director of Qudong Group."

After a pause, he added: "I am not a Hong Kong citizen, so I am not qualified to join ATV."

Zhou Ziyu's eyes flashed, she bit her lip, and said somewhat unconfidently: "But can I?"

Li Zhe looked at her and smiled.

This little fish is obviously tempted.

"You represent me, and the entire Qudong Group is behind you."

He then lamented: "Wang Sheng (Wang Zheng) said that he wants to use 20 years to build ATV into the "CNN of Asia." I don't have as big an ambition as him. It will take more than ten years for ATV to radiate to Southeast Asia. It’s enough to have a certain influence in this area.”

Even though ATV still has a market value of several billion, it is a complete mess.

There is a loss of talent, the production team is leaving en masse, and internal strife among the top management continues. Even if capital continues to come in for blood transfusions, it cannot withstand the continuous blood loss.

Wang Zheng also wanted to make a difference when he took over ATV, but the top management of ATV did not cooperate at all.

Later, when ATV was on the verge of bankruptcy, a reporter asked Li Ka-shing if he was willing to buy ATV shares and be the "white warrior" to save ATV.

Li Ka-shing's answer was: "Do you think I have enough time?"

(A "white warrior" is a company, private company, or individual that provides assistance to another company.)

But ATV is not irredeemable. Li Zhe is not an outsider like Wang Zheng, and Quku Entertainment is one of the largest private entertainment companies in the mainland.

Quku Entertainment has its own talent team and team. As long as it obtains absolute controlling rights, it can completely rectify ATV and fire everyone who does not cooperate.

As long as the news stand of the TV station is ensured to be fair, impartial and open.

If we produce more hit variety shows and TV series, ATV can come back to life.

At that time, it will turn from a junk stock to a high-performance stock.

When Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu left, Cai Changxu sent them outside the gate.

"It would be great if someone like Li Sheng could take over ATV." He said with some sigh.

Cai Changxu never thought that Li Zhe would join ATV. After all, he is not a Hong Kong citizen.

He just admired the other party's ability. In just a few years, he developed a small company into the largest private entertainment group in the mainland.

Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu looked at each other covertly, with the same look in their eyes, and then he smiled and said: "It has been more than 50 years since ATV was launched, and many ups and downs have gone through over the years. I believe there will be The White Warrior' appeared to help it achieve greater glory."

"I hope so (I hope so)!" Cai Changxu sighed.

After getting in the car, Zhou Ziyu glanced at the time and found that it was already 5 p.m.

"Honey, where should we go next?"

Today is Li Zhe's last night on Hong Kong Island, and he will go back tomorrow.

"Take you to meet someone."

After Li Zhe finished speaking, he turned to the bodyguard who was driving and said, "Go to Saigon..."

"Who are we going to meet?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

…

Half an hour later, the car arrived at a high-end community near the seaside in Saigon.

This neighborhood is composed of two-story semi-detached houses.

A semi-detached house is a duplex, where there are two houses on the left and right, sharing a load-bearing wall and roof.

Although this type of house is not as big as a single-family house, it is larger than a traditional townhouse in terms of space. In a place like Hong Kong Island where land is at a premium, it can be considered a luxury home.

After getting off the car, Li Zhe took Zhou Ziyu to the door of a house and rang the doorbell.

"coming!"

Soon, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a tall middle-aged woman, about forty years old, with short hair and an elegant and gentle temperament.

After seeing Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu, she was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said enthusiastically and politely: "Mr. Li, right? This is your girlfriend? You are welcome, please come in." !”

"Excuse me, Sister Zhixie!"

Li Zhe and Zhou Ziyu walked into the house and saw a tall, thin, middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing Li Zhe and the others walking in, he immediately stood up.

Sister Qiaoxie smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Li from Qudong Group, and this beautiful woman is his girlfriend."

"Hello, Mr. Li, you are welcome to come, sit down quickly!" the man greeted politely.

"Hello, Brother Thirteen!" Li Zhe took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with the other party.

"This is my girlfriend Zhou Ziyu."

"Mr. Li, Miss Zhou, please sit down quickly." Sister Qiaoyi also greeted.

Li Zhe took Zhou Ziyu and sat down on the sofa. Brother Thirteen sat beside him, and Sister Qiaowen was busy going to the kitchen to cut fruit.

Li Zhe glanced at Sister Qiaoqiao's leaving figure, turned around and said, "Brother Thirteen, I really envy you!"

"What do I have to envy?" Brother Thirteen said a little puzzled.

"I envy you for marrying Sister Qiaoxie!" Li Zhe said with a smile.

Brother Thirteen was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "I am lucky to be able to marry her."

Zhou Ziyu sat aside and watched the two people talking, a little confused.

What are the identities of Sister Qiaoxie and Brother Thirteen? Why did Li Zhe come to visit them?

At this time, Sister Qiaoyi came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with tea, dried fruits, and cut fruit plates.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you praise me too much! I'm old. Even when I was young, I couldn't compare to Miss Zhou."

"It's really enviable for you to have a girlfriend like Miss Zhou."

Li Zhe smiled and said, "It's different. Sister Qiaoqiao, you are my idol. In the hearts of fans, idols will never grow old."

Sister Qiaoyi was obviously a little surprised when she heard this, "Mr. Li, have you seen my play?"

After receiving Li Zhe's invitation to visit, she had guessed his purpose.

She thought the other party was here to invite her to join Quku Entertainment.

Now ATV is in deep trouble, and she, the first sister, has no role to play. She has been somewhat interested in TVB's repeated invitations.

If you can join Quku Entertainment to develop in the mainland, it would be a good choice.

But she didn't expect that Li Zhe only came to visit her as a fan.

"I've watched all the movies like "The Driver", "Cello and Dot 38", "Dian Jie Sir is a Ghost", and "97 Chameleon"."

Li Zhe paused for a moment and then continued: "However, my favorite is Ma Xiaoling, played by you."

Sister Qiaoqiao nodded and said happily: "I also like the character Ma Xiaoling very much."

She never expected that there would be a billionaire fan.

Zhou Ziyu glanced at her and then at Li Zhe, showing a look of surprise.

It turns out that Sister Qiaoyi is a female star from Hong Kong Island.

Li Zhe didn't stay too long. He sat for a while, took a photo with Sister Qiaoxie, and left with Zhou Ziyu to say goodbye.

…

The car started slowly. Zhou Ziyu looked back and saw Sister Qiaoyi and Brother Thirteen standing at the gate of the community to see off her.

Then she turned around, smiled and said, "She was your idol when you were a teenager?"

Li Zhe nodded, "That's right, she is my favorite Hong Kong female star."

"I thought you would like Li Jiaxin, Guan Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, Wang Zuxian, Li Zhi, Zhang Min and others."

"Why?"

"Aren't they representatives of Hong Kong-style beauties? So many men like them."

Li Zhe shook his head, "Everyone's aesthetics is different."

Some people think Liu Yufei is ugly.

This aesthetic standard is not generally high!

Suddenly, he seemed to react and said: "You don't know her, do you?"

Zhou Ziyu hesitated for a moment and then hummed, "Is she very famous here in Hong Kong Island?"

Li Zhe glanced at her and said, "Although she is not as famous as Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian, she still has many masterpieces. She was once the number one sister of ATV, and she is considered a first-line actress."

"I don't watch many Hong Kong dramas. I only watched a few when I was a kid."

As Zhou Ziyu said this, he took out his mobile phone and searched for Ma Xiaoling.

Looking at the pictures on her phone, she suddenly pursed her lips and chuckled, "Husband, I know why you like her."

This female star was completely obsessed with his aesthetics when she was young.
