Chapter 379 My Subordinates, Your Woman

After finishing the commercial bank affairs, the preparations for the second Hong Kong Cultural Festival, also known as the New Year's Eve Gala, began.

The governor was very satisfied with the results of the first session, so Wang Yuanchao is still the general manager of the Cultural Festival and New Year's Eve Gala this year.

To this end, he specially established a Hong Kong Culture Media Co., Ltd., which is affiliated to Asia Media (the company that originally cooperated with Zhou Qibang, in which Zhou Qibang held 9% and acquired 80% of the shares of Hong Kong Commercial Radio), and is specifically responsible for such cultural programs.

The general manager was Fu Qi, the husband of Shi Hui, one of the three Great Wall sisters. They left Shaw Brothers when their contract with them expired.

In fact, it's not just them. Many people from Shaw Brothers Films will most likely switch to Star Films once their contracts expire, because not only will their income increase significantly, but they can also get dividends if they produce results.

Shaw Brothers became even more stingy, because they felt that the one who was spending money lavishly now was Dianmao Regeneration, and how long could the boss of Starlight sustain such a spending spree?
Wang Yuanchao has two listed companies, but market capitalization cannot be used to make a living. He has poured all his profits into the bottomless pit of movies. If the real industry encounters any trouble, all of them will be wiped out.

So Shaw Brothers is now sticking to its original intention, quietly waiting for its opponents to make mistakes, and then Shaw Brothers will be the only one in the market again.

Moreover, Shaw Brothers also transferred part of its manpower and funds to develop TVB, because Shaw Brothers felt that with the popularization of televisions, the power of TVB would become greater and greater. Everyone could watch the programs at home, so who would go to the cinema?
Even Wang Yuanchao himself has cooperated with Sony to set up a TV factory!

This further confirms Shaw Brothers' prediction of the situation, that the television industry has great potential.

Back to Fu Qi, he has also directed movies, not very outstanding, but according to Wang Yuanchao's requirements, he is still suitable to be the executive director of the evening party.

Since he and his wife had been to Mount Davis for tea in 67, Wang Yuanchao also took special care of him:
"Don't be impatient, don't show your inclinations. Just like me, I have developed and grown little by little, and I have obtained the approval of the Governor, right?"

In recent years, Wang Yuanchao and his family have often met with Fu Qi and Shi Hui. Although the couple worked at Shaw Brothers, they have a very good personal relationship and are considered friends with common aspirations.

Fu Qi smiled and said:

"Of course I understand.

You have already mastered newspapers, radio, and movies, and now you are moving into television. I don’t think you are not interested in TVB.”

Shi Hui also smiled and said:
"We have watched you get to where you are today step by step. You have always fulfilled your original promise. Although at the beginning, Fu Qi and I were a little worried that you were lying to us."

Fu Qi also laughed, and nudged his wife with his mouth, saying:
"Last year's first cultural festival and gala was clearly about traditional Chinese culture, but you insisted on adding a lot of Western culture into it. She even said that you were used to flattering the John Crows."

Shi Hui said dissatisfiedly:
"I was just joking with you. How could I not know that in order to get something, you must give it first? Otherwise, how could there be a second session this year?"

Shi Hui was also well-versed in history and had read a lot of books. Although he sometimes hated evil, once he was enlightened, he would immediately understand the truth.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“You all understand the truth.

Indeed, I am half Chinese and half Western. At least I want to make everyone accustomed to the equality of Chinese and Westerners, and then consolidate the traditional Eastern culture bit by bit.

Culture must be based on strength.

It's just like when rich people visit brothels, it's called romantic, while when poor people visit prostitutes, it's called vulgar.

People all admire the strong. Being weak is the original sin.

The East is weak now, so we can't act recklessly and must maintain our vitality.

When the East rises, it will be time for us to launch a massive counterattack.

We cannot let our hard power be sufficient but our soft power cannot keep up.

So I would like to ask General Manager Fu Qi to bear the humiliation, endure hardships, and do a good job! "

Fu Qi nodded solemnly. He certainly knew that the current opportunity, whether it was the great cause of culture or his personal development, was hard-won. He was having a hard time making a living in the film and television industry. His wife was more famous than him, and the title of the Second Princess of the Great Wall could still attract some box office appeal.

"Don't worry, boss, I was also an actor, I know how to control my emotions, and I can act.

Guaranteed to complete the task! "

The Cultural Festival and the Industrial and Commercial Fair were held almost simultaneously. Before the Cultural Festival, Hong Kong people treated the Industrial and Commercial Fair as their New Year's party.

Now with the addition of the cultural festival, there is nothing more lively than seeing exhibitions and watching performances.

As for which stars will appear on the New Year's Gala, newspapers and radio stations will have a lot of gossip about them, just like people pay attention to the topics of the Spring Festival Gala programs.

Wang Yuanchao created hype and revealed news about the program layer by layer, revealing which people and programs were unfortunately eliminated, making the topic very popular.

The exquisiteness of the technique amazed everyone. It not only promoted the New Year's Eve Gala, but also made everyone look forward to what wonderful things the New Year's Eve Gala would have.

TVB also came to us eagerly to seek cooperation.

This cultural festival and gala is personally selected by the Governor. Artists and resources from all over Hong Kong are proud to participate. There are many newlyweds who become an instant hit at the New Year's Eve gala. At least all Chinese in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia know you.

It’s not that TVB hasn’t tried to get the hosting rights, but it just couldn’t get them. The Governor has great confidence in Wang Yuanchao who has successful experience.

Unfortunately, this time Rediffusion also wants to get a piece of the pie.

After TVB was out of business, Wang Yuanchao had ideas about Rediffusion Television, and later on, Rediffusion Television changed hands many times. Qiu Degen even took over Rediffusion Television and renamed it ATV.

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao was emotionally willing to cooperate with TVB to suppress ATV, so as to lower the market value of ATV and negotiate the price.

But we can’t let TVB get away with it just to win ATV, right?

At this time, ATV can be used to boost TVB's cooperative income.

With ATV eyeing the market covetously, TVB had no choice but to compromise and give up part of its advertising revenue. Xiangjiang Culture Media's advertising revenue accounted for 60%.

Then Xiangjiang Culture Media took the cooperation agreement of TVB to negotiate with Rediffusion Television. If they want to cooperate, they must treat each other equally, otherwise there is no way. The two TV stations, Rediffusion Television is declining, after all, TVB is free.

Treating everyone equally actually means favoring TVB.

After arranging these things, Wang Yuanchao had to fly to the United States to take his final exams at Yale University.

Hong Kong is John's colony, and Hong Kong people's passports are John's overseas national passports, but for the next few decades, they will have to rely on the United States for food. So Wang Yuanchao went directly to the source to build connections. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the United States citizenship, anyway, the United States recognizes dual citizenship.

Before the rise of the Eastern superpower, the United States produced many wealthy Chinese, and now there is Wang Laboratories.

This is a company that can compete with IBM.

The company went public in 67, and its stock price soared three times on the day of listing, with a market value of up to 3 million US dollars.

Today, Wang Laboratories is also thriving, and the company's market value has exceeded US$4 million.

However, the stock price is booming now, and the price has risen to a much higher level than the land, so it is not very cost-effective. Therefore, Wang Yuanchao has been hoarding land in Silicon Valley, preparing to buy it when the next stock market crash comes.

In his previous life, Wang Yuanchao had the good fortune to read a report about the richest Chinese man in the United States and knew about his ultimate weapon, WPS, which had not yet been released.

In 76, Wang An developed the word processor, the Word Processing System, which was the driving force behind the introduction of computers into offices. This invention directly brought computers into the White House. In the 80s, Wang An even became the fifth richest man in the United States! This was the highest achievement of Chinese people in the United States.

At that time, Wang An Computer was besieged by the IBM coalition. Finally, Wang An grew old and handed the company over to his son. However, his son did not have the ability to control such a giant company and brought it into bankruptcy.

Wang An had so many partners, but none of them were willing to believe him and would rather choose his incompetent son. This is also related to the Chinese culture of family rule.

Chinese people understand Chinese people best. So Wang Yuanchao was not interested in helping them, as they were watching them very closely.

He was just planning to take advantage of a surge in stock prices and make a fortune.

Wang Yuanchao first adjusted to the time difference in Los Angeles, visited some old friends, and then crossed the United States.

When I returned to my dormitory at Yale, Zipper took a long time to open the door.

"Oh my God, you're finally back!"

Zipperton gave Wang Yuanchao a big hug.

Wang Yuanchao pushed him away and said:
"You didn't sleep with a female classmate in the dormitory?"

The zipper is a bit embarrassing:
"Oh, is it that obvious?"

Wang Yuanchao sniffed and said:
"The perfume smells so strong..."

Then I saw a person popping out of the dormitory room. Who else could it be but Karen?

"Hi, Adam." Karen also greeted the boss.

Wang Yuanchao carried his luggage into the house. Fortunately, his bed was still relatively tidy, but the zippered bed was only hastily made.

"You guys should at least go to the hotel and have some fun."

Zipperton quickly explained:

"I want to show Karen the atmosphere of college life."

Karen also said:

"Adam, you know I'm really looking forward to Yale."

Wang Yuanchao looked at the two of them, and they really looked like a couple following each other. He said:

"I hope I didn't delay your good things."

Zipperton said shamelessly:
"If you had come a few minutes later, you might have been delayed."

If it was a few minutes later, they might have started fighting, but now it was probably just the foreplay.

One is the cash cow of his company, and the other is a big leg to cling to in the future. Although he doesn't know whether this big leg will become a big leg again, Wang Yuanchao said:

"Forget it, I'll just go out and stay at night. Has the teacher given me any trouble these days?"

Zipperton immediately straightened his chest and said:
"Don't worry, I'm here, there's no way I'll cause you any trouble!

Just take the final exam with peace of mind.

But I can’t help you with that.”

Wang Yuanchao walked out elegantly and said:

"Thanks!"

He went straight out to book a hotel room and then contacted Xixi.

Damn, you mess with my subordinates and I mess with your woman, that's fair.
