Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

The next day, the sky was clear.

Xia Yu continued to go through the process with Rothier and his son, and finally bought 8.5% of the equity of Landmark Group at a cost of 660 million Hong Kong dollars.

So far, Xia Yu's stake in the Land Group has directly exceeded 40%, reaching 42.3%, one step closer to the final success.

Following the closing of the transaction, Rothschild \u0026 Sons Ltd. proceeded to acquire the remaining stake in the Keswick family.

Now that he knew the Keswick family's plan, Xia Yu of course ordered Wang Qi to stop contacting each other, and Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong would not touch the Keswick family's equity.

This means that as long as no one rushes in, there will be no one to compete with Rothschild \u0026 Sons, and Phil Keswick's wishful thinking of taking advantage of the fisherman will fail.

As you can imagine, this will definitely save Xia Yu a lot of money.

When sending Rothier and his son away, Xia Yu stopped Huo Jianning, took out several carefully made game plans, and asked him to register patents immediately and build a team based on these games.

After going back, Huo Jianning, who had a deep understanding of the game, read these game plans, and was shocked by the chairman Xia Yu, and then his confidence increased greatly, and he was full of passion to speed up the preparation work of Tiangong Electronics.

In the next few days, Xia Yu made unannounced visits to various companies to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of each company.

The impression of each company in Xia Yu's mind was refreshed.

For example, Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd., Gavin Peter is very passionate about acquisitions, especially when Xia Yu told him in the UK that he would acquire the Guinness Book of World Records, Gavin Peter went all out.

At this time, the Guinness Book of World Records has been acquired and become a wholly-owned overseas subsidiary, and Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd. has relied on it to successfully erect a banner in the UK.

In addition, Gavin Peter was deeply influenced by Xia Yu, and has made great progress in marketing. He even cooperated with Universal Television to launch a Guinness World Records challenge program called "Challenge Guinness".

At first glance, Xia Yu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but after a little recollection, he remembered that there was a program of this nature on CCTV in later generations, called "Guinness China Night", and the ratings and influence were still considerable.

Therefore, Xia Yu put forward a few strong suggestions to make them avoid detours and encourage him to continue to carry forward.

Except for Jiuding Book Publishing Co., Ltd., other companies have made great progress and progress.

The number of accounts and deposits of Jiuding Bank have been rising, and they have obtained the bank access licenses in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and are preparing to establish the first branch in each country, which is also the head office of Jiuding Bank in various countries.

Universal Cinema Company has already established a firm foothold and has been sought after by film companies relying on the box office sharing model. After the initial run-in, Jiang Zhiqiang has mastered the skills of using the market to discover good films, with millions of box office Nine films have been unearthed, and one of them has a box office of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which has made many small and medium film companies crazy.

And in the past few months, with the support of Jiuding Bank, Jiang Zhiqiang started a gold-dollar offensive in Southeast Asia. Before the Shao family blocked it, he bought one in Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Large cinema.

These four cinema chains add up to a total of forty-eight cinemas.

In Singapore, Jiang Zhiqiang also bought three large cinemas.

This battle, which Jiang Zhiqiang named the "Theatrical Attack on Pearl Harbor", achieved extremely gratifying results. Fifty-one theaters were won in more than two months. It's all worth it.

This action has allowed Universal Cinemas to gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and have the qualifications to wrestle with Shaw Brothers.

However, there is still a long way to go to defeat the Shaw Brothers Cinema that has been run by the Shao family for more than 30 years.

After all, there are more than 130 Shaw Brothers cinemas in Southeast Asia directly operated by the Shao family alone, plus more than 200 franchised cinemas.

The strength of Universal Cinemas at this time is equivalent to between one-third and one-fourth of Shaw's cinemas.

But now, because of the film sharing system, coupled with Galaxy Films' generous investment in multiple films, Universal Cinemas has solved the biggest shortcoming of film sources.

For the competition with Shaw Brothers Cinema, Jiang Zhiqiang is completely true.

Anyway, with the support of the chairman's treasury, his goal is to continue to acquire cinemas, surpassing Shaw's cinemas in terms of seats and screens, and at the same time to renovate the acquired cinemas.

The renovation project of the Southeast Asian cinema line will be taken over by Jiuding Infrastructure Company. One of its predecessors, Kinmen Building, has a strong foundation in Southeast Asia. The renovation of the theater line is completely disdainful to the branches of Jiuding Infrastructure in various countries. If it wasn't for the direct order of Heungkong's parent company, the branches in various countries would not necessarily have the energy to undertake the project.

As for Universal Television, it has ushered in a big explosion.

The TVB TV station that Universal Television was already overwhelmed by now is now on the basis of optimizing the original TV programs, and has refined and launched programs such as "Universal Movie Report" in the movie category and "Golden Songs" in the music category. It has greatly enriched the entertainment life of the citizens and has been sought after by the audience.

Among them, the column "Universal Movie Report" is Xia Yu's trump card program plagiarized by the later CCTV movie channel.

And "Golden Songs" was the ace program produced by TVB two years later, and it was produced by Xia Yu in advance.

Fortunately, Shao Yifu was inspired by "Universal Movie Report", activated the huge library of Shaw Brothers movies, cut off two programs that were severely impacted by Universal Television, and played an old movie at a fixed time every day, which attracted a part of the audience. Finally got some bright spots.

However, this bright spot can only win a breather for TVB, and it is absolutely impossible to make a comeback!

After all, Huang Xizhao is also not a dry eater. He sent people to acquire the old film copyrights of other film companies except Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, focusing on Taiwan Province, and now there has been great progress.

As long as it takes down the old film libraries of major film companies in Taiwan Province, Universal Television can also open up another program that broadcasts old films and compete head-to-head with TVB.

At this time, in the minds of the citizens of Hong Kong, Universal Television has successfully created entertainment attributes for Universal Television. From TV dramas to variety shows, from music to animation, Universal Television has achieved coverage of audiences of all ages.

In addition to these, Universal TV's revenue exploded directly, thanks to the popular program "Millionaire", not only Southeast Asian countries, but also large TV stations in the United Kingdom, the United States and other European and American countries to purchase production copyright licenses.

After obtaining the approval of Chairman Xia Yu, Huang Xizhao sold a high price under a deliberately created competition. Universal TV just sold the production license for 100 episodes, and earned 230 million Hong Kong dollars. It was sold for 30 million Hong Kong dollars to the British BBC.

Thanks to the huge population of the United States, the price sold to the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) was the highest, reaching 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars per episode.

Even so, the TV station that bought the copyright can still make a lot of money, but Xia Yu knows that the net profit of an episode of "Millionaire" in the ABC of later generations can reach 1.5 million to 1.5 million yuan. Between US$2 million, equivalent to HK$6.9 million to 9.2 million.

Universal Television only took 1.3 million per episode, which is less than one-fifth, which is a small amount.

With more than 200 million funds in hand, Huang Xizhao's heart swelled sharply, speeding up the basic investment of Universal Television Station and speeding up the construction of Universal Studios.

At the same time, he also carefully wrote a plan and presented it to Xia Yu for instructions.

At this time, Xia Yu was watching the plan in the chairman's office of Universal Television, while Huang Xizhao, the director of the TV station, who was high in the eyes of the staff, was waiting respectfully, waiting anxiously for Xia Yu's opinion.
