Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 78 Hong Kong government intervenes

Lin Baicheng originally thought that after he decided to buy 61% of Li's TV for 120 million Hong Kong dollars, the TV station would be under his name immediately. Unexpectedly, when the transaction was about to proceed, Huo Yaohua told him that something was wrong.

The Hong Kong government intervened in this transaction and did not agree with Lai's call to sell Lai's TV station to Lin Baicheng. It hoped that Lai's voice would sell Lai's TV station to other British-funded institutions or individuals.

Television stations are extremely important propaganda channels. There are currently three television stations in Hong Kong. Among them, Wireless TV Station is in the hands of Chinese people, Jiayi TV Station is also owned by Chinese people, and only Li's TV Station is controlled by British capital.

The Hong Kong government did not want publicity channels like the TV station to fall into the hands of the Chinese. Therefore, when Jiayi TV was established, the Hong Kong government set multiple conditions for Jiayi TV. This also led to the collapse of Jiayi TV within a few years of its establishment.

It’s not that Jiayi TV is incompetent, it’s just that there are inherent limitations. People prefer to watch entertainment TV and programs and are less interested in educational programs. Therefore, no matter how hard Jiayi TV works, it can’t save itself from bankruptcy.

Now, Lai's Voice is planning to sell Lai's TV station, and the target of the sale is Lin Baicheng, a Chinese, so the Hong Kong government will naturally intervene.

When Lin Baicheng learned from Huo Yaohua that the Hong Kong government had intervened, he thought that his acquisition of Lai's TV station had been ruined, and he could only wait a few years before taking over from the Australian consortium. Unexpectedly, Huo Yaohua told him to wait a little longer. It is still possible to buy shares in Li's Voice.

After all, the UK is a capitalist country. Unless the business transactions are related to the country's important advanced technologies, the government cannot actually stop them. Just like this equity transaction, the Hong Kong government can intervene or advise Lai's Voice not to sell its shares to the Chinese, but if Lai's Voice really wants to sell, the Hong Kong government can't do anything.

Lai's voice has no other industry in Hong Kong except Lai's TV station, so it does not need to take into account the attitude of the Hong Kong government. However, Lai's voice must take into account Downing Street's views, so Lai's voice must also give some face to the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, in the face of the Hong Kong government's intervention and suggestions, Lai's Voice stated that as long as British capital is willing to take over at a price of no less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Lai's Voice is willing to sell its shares to British capital.

After all, Li Shengsheng also knew that it was difficult to find a Chinese victim like Lin Baicheng, and it would be difficult to sell it at such a high price if this opportunity was missed. However, for the sake of the Hong Kong government and Downing Street, Li's voice is willing to sell to British investors and is willing to lower the price by HK$20 million. No lower price will be acceptable.

Huo Yaohua told Lin Baicheng that Li's voice was very resolute. Either the Hong Kong government would find British capital to take over 61% of Li's TV shares at a price of no less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, or the Hong Kong government would no longer object to this transaction and let Li's Husheng sold its shares for HK$120 million.

If possible, Li Shengsheng would like to sell the shares to Lin Baicheng. After all, this can earn an extra 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a lot, and no one will have trouble with money.

The Hong Kong government responded to Li's call to suspend trading for half a month, allowing the Hong Kong government to use the half month to find an institution to take over.

Huo Yaohua reassured Lin Baicheng. He believed that it was unlikely that any British capital would be willing to take over, because the entire Li TV was worth just over 100 million Hong Kong dollars in everyone's opinion, and 61% of the shares were not worth the money at all. The premium was too high. .

After the Hong Kong government could not find an agency to take over, it could only accept Li's call and sell the shares to Lin Baicheng. Huo Yaohua asked Lin Baicheng to wait for the good news.

The sudden intervention of the Hong Kong government made Lin Baicheng very depressed, but he had no way to deal with it. He could only hope that the Hong Kong government could not find an agency to take over and leave everything to God's will.

Ignoring Li's TV matters for the time being, there was news that Lin Baicheng had entrusted a headhunting company to find talents for him. Several talents were willing to come and be interviewed by Lin Baicheng after knowing the scale and general situation of Lin Baicheng's business.

Of course, Lin Baicheng had seen the information of these talents through a headhunting company earlier, and he was first of all satisfied with these talents. Only when he is satisfied first, the headhunting company will introduce Lin Baicheng's general situation to these people and ask them if they want to come for an interview.

Lin Baicheng plans to recruit three talents this time. Considering his current career, three is enough. When the scale of the business becomes larger in the future, we can just recruit more people if necessary.

Of these three talents, Lin Baicheng plans to let one of them be responsible for assisting him with local work in Hong Kong, one with responsibility for assisting him with RB work, and one with responsibility for assisting him with work in the United States.

After two days of interviews, Lin Baicheng selected the three people when he liked the other party and the other party was willing to accept the job.

Haruko Maori, Cheng Yufeng, and Isabella Kent are RB people, natives of Xiangjiang, and Americans respectively.

Haruko Mouri, female, 24 years old, American and Japanese, graduated from RB Kyoto University, and then went to the United States to study for two years. She was selected by headhunters because she met the requirements.

It stands to reason that a top student like Mouri Haruko will definitely not lack a job when she returns to RB. However, RB's corporate culture determines that it will be difficult for her to enter the senior management of the company. At least she who has just graduated will definitely not be able to do it. Therefore, when a large-scale company After the company invited her to be the boss's assistant, she decided to go.

As the boss's assistant, if she gets promoted in the future, she will either become an important executive of the head office or the head of a branch, which will save her many years of struggle. Besides, if it doesn't work out, you can still use this company as a springboard. As long as she does well enough here, other big companies will definitely want to poach her.

Cheng Yufeng, male, 27 years old, is a native of Xiangjiang. After attending college in Xiangjiang, he went to Cambridge University to study for three years. He was already working in London, but his mother's health suddenly deteriorated. He is a filial man. , so he decided to come back to work in Xiangjiang.

Isabella Kent, female, 25 years old, American, American, graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles. The reason why she is willing to work for Lin Baicheng is for no other reason than that the treatment Lin Baicheng gives her is better than what she can find on her own. The job pays better.

Isabella Kent's family conditions are average, which can be seen from the fact that she attended a public university. Because of her university studies, she still owes a lot of money, so she now needs to work hard to make money to pay off her debts. Fortunately, she graduated from a well-known university and is very capable, so the debt is no longer a big problem for her now.

However, the whole family supports Isabella to finish college, and Isabella is now obliged to make money to improve the lives of her family, so as long as the company itself has no major problems, she will work for whoever gives her the best treatment. Work.

Among the three, Maori Haruko and Isabella were both beautiful women, but Lin Baicheng valued their abilities and had nothing to do with their appearance. If he really wants to find a beautiful woman, he will look for her in the entertainment industry. He is looking for a capable assistant who can help him with his work, not a vase.
