Chapter 375 [Wireless TV Station! 】(Ask a monthly pass!)

Dongying’s four shipyards did not expect to receive orders from global shipping after a lapse of less than a year. It was a pleasant surprise.

The ships built by Global Shipping this time are oil tankers with a deadweight of 200,000 tons, a total of ten ships;

This is not the first wave of 200,000-ton oil tankers. Global Shipping started building 8 200,000-ton oil tankers last year.

Furthermore, Global Shipping has decided to build 200,000-ton oil tankers in the future to facilitate management and reduce operating costs.

Although small oil tankers (below 100,000 tons) also have some advantages, that is, some companies that urgently need oil will choose to lease;

But more disadvantages are that small oil tankers have high operating costs and are inconvenient to manage.

Global Shipping currently has about 3.55 million tons of small vessels with a deadweight. These are the first targets for ship reduction in the future.

After spending 20 days in Dongying, Wu Guangyao returned to Hong Kong Island in late March.

Back on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao set about preparing for the TV station.

At this time, there is only one TV station on Hong Kong Island, and that is Li’s TV station;

In March 1957, "Li De Ying Sheng" officially started broadcasting, and the broadcasting industry was transferred to the host of "Li De Ying Sheng".

Li is a cable TV, and it is in black and white mode. The daily broadcast time is about 6 hours, and the language is English;

Never mind these, the important thing is that the monthly fee is 25 Hong Kong dollars, which is extremely expensive in this era.

Therefore, there are less than 1,000 TV users on Hong Kong Island at this time, which is a place with extremely poor culture.

It can be said that the development level of TV on Hong Kong Island at this time is far lower than that of Western TV;

In addition, TV stations are extremely profitable and influential in the communication industry. Wu Guangyao has been planning for a long time.

Wu Guangyao and Sundars came to the Government House together and met with Governor Dai Linzhi.

The two are regular visitors here, and they are also one of the several big bosses on Hong Kong Island. Naturally, they don’t need to wait too long. They soon entered the Governor’s office.

Wu Guangyao looked at Tai Linzhi’s luxurious office, and seemed to have realized that the success rate of taking down the TV station increased to 100%.

Why?

It turned out that according to Wu Guangyao's analysis based on data from later generations, during the ten years when Tai Linzhi was the governor of Hong Kong, corruption became a major problem during Tai Linzhi's tenure.

Among them, the corruption of public officials is the most serious, and public officials take bribes arbitrarily, causing the public to suffer.

Among them, Han Sen, the chief inspector of the New Territories, and Lu Le, the former chief inspector of Kowloon, are all products of the Dai Linzhi era.

Corruption prevails. Does the Governor of Tai Linzhi have such behavior?

If not, why doesn’t he have the courage to govern?

The successor, MacLehose, set out to prepare for the Independent Commission Against Corruption as soon as he took office, and he was naturally an incorrupt person.

According to the layout of Tai Linzhi's office, Wu Guangyao concluded that the governor has that hobby!

Of course, this is a last resort, and even if this matter is to be done, Wu Guangyao will not come forward.

"It's a bit unusual for you two to come to see me together. Could it be that your two companies are going to cooperate on a new project again?" Dai Linzhi said with a smile.

Wu Guangyao and Sandus are both very important figures to him;

Wu Guangyao is a Chinese leader on Hong Kong Island and has a high influence. The Governor has to rely on Wu Guangyao to maintain the stability of Hong Kong Island;

Sundus is the **** of wealth on Hong Kong Island. You must know that there is no central bank in the Hong Kong government, and HSBC exercises the responsibilities of the central bank.

"Your Excellency, do you know if you are satisfied with the Hong Kong Island TV station?" Wu Guangyao said.

"Oh, let alone whether I'm satisfied or not, Mr. Wu first talk about the Lai TV station on Hong Kong Island. What are the shortcomings?" As the governor, Dai Linzhi would naturally not follow Wu Guangyao's ideas, so I came to a Yikewei host.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao is also very confident. No one on Hong Kong Island can rob his own TV station, even Lijia.

"Western TV stations have adopted wireless transmission and are in color. From this point of view, Li's TV station is already far behind; and TV stations are an important source of spiritual life for citizens in the new era. How can Hong Kong Island lag behind others? Woolen cloth?"

"If the Hong Kong government issues a TV station license to us, we will guarantee free broadcast to the public and extend the daily broadcast time; and the Hong Kong government has an important channel to disseminate news to the public, which is beneficial to the management of the Hong Kong government."

Looking at Wu Guangyao's endless talks, Dai Linzhi was indeed said to be moved, but such a big matter naturally needs to be discussed within the Hong Kong government.

"Mr. Wu is indeed an all-rounder, but this matter is important, and the Hong Kong government will need to discuss it before making a decision!" Dai Linzhi said.

After Wu Guangyao and Sundars left the governor’s office, Wu Guangyao said: “Sundars, the night is long and dreamy, can you take the lead in HSBC, and the Oriental Media Group will send an executive to go to the Hong Kong government to contact us!”

From this point of view, how much Wu Guangyao has watched on TV!

It’s not because of how much money you can make or how much influence you can increase, but

Sundus thought about it, and finally agreed!

TV station is just an ordinary investment for HSBC, but it was only because of Wu Guangyao's face that it joined in.

However, since Wu Guangyao wants to improve an important part of the media group, HSBC will naturally support it;

Moreover, this is an investment in itself. Although it is not very important, it does not mean that it is unprofitable.

"Yes, but you can send a publicist from Eastern Media on this matter. You don't need any executives to come forward. The same is true for HSBC." Sundars said veteranly.

Obviously, HSBC is more experienced in this regard.

said that regarding TV stations, Oriental Media actually has two plans.

The first is that the Hong Kong government issues TV licenses to Oriental Media.

The second type is the last resort, to use the money to smash the license of the TV station.

It can be said that TV station is a project that Wu Guangyao values ​​very much, and its importance is no less than that of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry, and slightly lower than that of a group company.

People, too much money can’t be spent, you have to have fun!

Furthermore, the profit of a TV station is not lower than that of a jewelry company.

However, if you want to run a TV station well, you must have both hardware and software in order to be competitive.

The so-called hardware, it is easy to understand, it is the equipment, just take the money and drop it;

The so-called software is a program, which requires resources.

Resources, Oriental Media is not too much. Compared with Shao Laoliu, it is not one or two points, but a river.

To put it bluntly, Oriental Media’s resources are Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio and the music company affiliated to Hong Kong Island Commercial Radio.

And Shao Laoliu’s artists, directors, and playwrights are full of talents.

Naturally, it is impossible for Dongfang Media to buy Shao Laoliu as a shareholder, because Shao Laoliu is not a person willing to assist Dongfang Media.

There is one person who is very suitable to join Oriental Media, and that is Zou Wenhuai, the production director of Shaw Films at this time.

Although Wu Wenhuai is the second-in-command of Shaw Brothers movies, Shao Laoliu was very depressed at this time (after later generations fell ill, he began to donate a lot, and donated a lot in the mainland), and even the management’s food was difficult to swallow. ;

Therefore, Wenhuai and a group of like-minded backbones often go to the house of Zhao Yaojun, the chief engineer in charge of printing and equipment;

They don’t know that Shao Laoliu is already suspicious, thinking that these people have a tendency to rebel, so they are also taking precautions.

Of course, these are all secondary. With the strength of Eastern Media, it can be digged directly with a high salary!

Wu Guangyao is not afraid that the future generations of Jiahe boss Wu Wenhuai will have a rebellious heart in the future. As long as he pulls the team up, no one is indispensable.

Furthermore, Wu Guangyao knows better than these people. The movies and shows he has watched are not many. Are you afraid that he will not attract the audience?
