Chapter 524 Lamborghini
Yu Jingwei helped Wang Yuanchao and Li Jia to connect and quickly completed the share transaction.
TVB is not a listed company, so there is no need to make an announcement on this to the public. It is very simple.
Wang Yuanchao had no interest in being the chairman of the board of directors. Even the board seats were arranged by staff members of his holding group.
Yu Jingwei also didn't want to be the chairman of the board of directors. He was more accustomed to the practical position of general manager, so the chairman of the board of directors was taken over by Uncle Shao Liu.
However, the relationship between Shao Liushu and Yu Jingwei is not bad. At the beginning, Shao Liushu's wife was one of Yu Jingwei's father's concubines. A lot of Shao Liushu's wealth came from the "dowry" supported by Yu Jingwei's father. Marrying a concubine... Yu Jingwei also followed Shao Liushu in Hong Kong at the beginning.
If it weren't for Wang Yuanchao's help, historically, after Yu Jingwei passed away, the shares would have been sold to Uncle Shaw by the Yu family. Then after Li Xiaowo passed away, the shares would have been sold to Uncle Shaw by his wife. From then on, Uncle Shaw became the largest controlling shareholder of TVB.
But now, Uncle Shao is also the largest shareholder with the most shares, but Yu Jingwei also has a lot.
Judging from the shares alone, whoever Wang Yuanchao supports will be the one having the final say at TVB.
Yu Jingwei also officially put TVB's listing on the agenda.
-
Pacific Building, Wang Yuanchao's office.
Howard, the second-in-command of Hong Kong's police system, comes to visit.
He came to say goodbye as he was going to the mainland to work as a diplomat with the rank of counselor.
Over the years, he has been very successful in "investing" in Hong Kong and has become quite wealthy.
I dare not say how much more, but he is worth at least two or three million pounds. The difference between him and Godber, who was previously regarded as a typical person, with only a few hundred thousand pounds, is huge.
Lots of money and a decent reputation.
He no longer has any aspirations for development in Hong Kong. He is already the second-in-command in the police force, and it would be difficult for him to move up further.
It just so happened that there was an opportunity in the mainland, which fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
More than a decade ago, when he first went to the mainland, he was only a third-class secretary. Now, he is a counselor. After a few years, he will have a good resume when he returns to London. It will be no problem for him to be an ambassador to a small country. If he moves around more, he can move up in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and become an ambassador to a big country.
He knew why his "investment" in Hong Kong was so successful, and it was all thanks to Wang Yuanchao's help.
So we have to say goodbye properly.
Wang Yuanchao was quite grateful to Howard, as this old man had helped him a lot.
Let’s not talk about things far away, when it comes to affairs in Hong Kong, everyone just exchanges courtesy.
But when he decided to immigrate to Sarawak, he brought many Vietnamese refugees from Hong Kong to Sarawak one by one, and Howard's help was indispensable.
In addition, around the Spring Festival of 79, the last wave of people from the mainland smuggled into Hong Kong.
Regardless of the strict defense of the armed forces on both sides and regardless of casualties, the number of smuggled people reached a new high.
But, how to say it, these people finally overcame all difficulties and smuggled into Hong Kong, but they were still "repatriated" by the Hong Kong police and sent directly onto a large ship to Sarawak.
In 79 alone, Wang Yuanchao immigrated nearly 10 people from the mainland to Sarawak.
Anyway, the Hong Kong police gave one person to the immigration ship, oh no, the repatriation ship, and the repatriation ship would pay a thank you fee of 50 Hong Kong dollars to thank them for their extra hard work for the good living environment of Hong Kong citizens.
The policemen were suddenly very enthusiastic. If you were walking on the street and were poorly dressed or had a strange look on your face, or even couldn't produce your ID card, you would have to be careful of being "deported" by the police!
Police teams were busy day and night roaming the streets and alleys, climbing mountains and wading through water along the border area, searching for the fugitives.
Although Hong Kong citizens are very disgusted with illegal immigrants and feel that they have taken away their job opportunities and caused social disorder, this would not have been possible without Howard's strong support.
All we can say is that under this general situation and background, Howard's approach responded to the demands of his superiors and the calls of the public, and was supported by the front-line police force.
This year, that is, the 80th year, illegal immigration from the mainland is still continuing. Many people may think that the people mentioned above have all gone to Hong Kong.
Wang Yuanchao also wanted to apologize to these people, but his Sarawak was indeed seriously short of people!
Even though Vietnamese, Vietnamese Chinese and mainlanders have been vigorously introduced in recent years, the population has only just exceeded 180 million.
Think about it, it's such a big place, but there are only so few people. There's no sense of security at all, right?
Many of the local natives did not have good quality. They used to fish, hunt, and grow crops. Wang Yuanchao tried not to disturb their original lives, but instead added a lot of convenience to their lives.
The only work they can be assigned is measured work like felling wood, where more work means more pay and less work means less pay. You can't even assign them to do large-scale land reclamation, because land reclamation is not just about felling trees, it also involves clearing the land and cultivating the land!
Who can do this job? As we all know, Chinese and Vietnamese are good at opening up new land!
But Wang Yuanchao obviously could not let this limited number of highly qualified people do these things.
Anyway, there is enough food. It is all shipped from the United States by large ships, and grain depots everywhere are full.
So if these limited population are divided among the factories and farms, it will be like sprinkled pepper, and there will be no one left.
The lower-class indigenous people will not complain. The middle-class indigenous people have not had their job opportunities reduced, but have instead had a lot more job opportunities. The upper-class people are being closely watched. Sarawak has finally developed steadily for a period of time.
But even in such a large place, there are still "patriots" who run away. For example, Sarawak has been blatantly importing people and carrying out large-scale construction. Even if West Malaysia is slow, it has also shown concern. However, all these construction works are in compliance with Sarawak's laws.
There is no regulation that Sarawak does not accept immigrants or foreign investment.
[Sarawak and Sabah were originally states, and their powers are much greater than those of the states in the Malay Peninsula.]
The whole of Malaysia is encouraging foreign investment. Sarawak has done a good job, so shouldn’t it be praised?
It can't be that the immigrants have no objection to this matter, Sarawak has no objection, but West Malaysia, which has plundered a lot of money, has an objection, right?
Of course Xima has opinions!
In order to prevent the Chinese from gaining a population advantage, they kicked Singapore, which had the highest proportion of Chinese, out of the Federation of Malaysia!
Sarawak already has a high proportion of Chinese, and now with the arrival of so many Chinese, oh, and Vietnamese, the main ethnic Malay population, the population is too small and unstable!
However, West Malaysia does not know the exact number of new people, and Sarawak’s top leaders are also not sure. They think that it should be tens of thousands, right?
West Malaysia believes that strict management is needed to nip the problem in the bud and urges Sarawak to come up with management measures.
If Sarawak state cannot come up with a management solution, the federal government will have to come up with one!
It's a pity that if they knew that they had to add a zero after the population, they would not have been so verbal sparring and would probably have taken action directly.
Back to the topic, Howard said goodbye to Wang Yuanchao, and the new successor had been arranged long ago. They had so many common interests and helped each other so much that Howard would not dare to easily switch to diplomacy without arranging the successor.
Their family will follow Wang Yuanchao's private plane to the UK, take a vacation there for a while, and then the whole family will return to the mainland, just like more than a decade ago.
Yes, Wang Yuanchao is also going to England.
Last year, Chelsea was successfully promoted and returned to English League One. Now is the first season after returning to English League One. Ferguson led the team to fifth place in the English League One standings. Before the last game, fourth, fifth, or sixth are all possible.
This made Wang Yuanchao admire Sir Alex Ferguson.
In addition, Chelsea also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup against West Ham United.
West Ham United is an English League Two team.
When Wang Yuanchao was watching the game, Chelsea successfully defeated West Ham United and advanced to the final. Their opponent in the final was Arsenal, which was ranked fourth in the league.
Well, the two teams are ranked next to each other.
After a brief celebration with the team management and head coach, Wang Yuanchao flew to Italy, where a series of acquisitions were waiting for him.
There is not much entertainment on the plane, except reading books, sleeping, and reading newspapers.
You can't argue with the flight attendant, right?
Although the flight attendants assigned to his planes by crews from all over the world are all very pleasing to the eye.
In fact, at the beginning, he was quite interested, after all, he made rapid progress.
But if there is too much, you will get tired of it.
Amid the disappointed looks of the flight attendants, Wang Yuanchao opened the newspapers, all of which were mainstream European newspapers.
He was excited by a piece of news in the newspaper: on May 5, the mainland successfully launched its first carrier rocket into the designated waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Although Wang Yuanchao holds dual British and American citizenship, he straightened his back a lot more after seeing this news.
This kind of big firecracker is the real guarantee of national security.
The plane landed in Sant'Agata Bolognese, a small town between Bologna and Modena, Italy.
The presence of Lamborghini has brought a certain degree of fame to this small town.
As we all know, Lamborghini was originally a tractor factory. It was just that the boss liked supercars, and by chance, he embarked on the road of supercar manufacturing.
At that time, Ferrari was already an expensive sports car brand and the pride of the Italian automobile industry.
Ferruccio Lamborghini, who was rich, also bought a Ferrari. But after driving it for a while, he found that the clutch of the Ferrari was too prone to failure and often needed to be repaired every few days.
In response, Ferruccio Lamborghini specifically reported the situation to Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari.
It would have been fine if it was just a reflection of the situation, but the terrible thing is that Ferruccio Lamborghini said, "My farm tractor clutch is better than Ferrari's!"
This statement irritated the arrogant Enzo Ferrari.
He immediately said, "How can you, a farmer selling farm tractors, criticize Ferrari sports cars?"
In fact, Ferruccio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari were the same type of people. Both were very conceited and spoke very harshly.
