Chapter 224 Board Meeting

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
When Kang Jianfei stepped into Lishi's door again, his identity had become the fourth largest shareholder of the TV station, although few people knew about this identity.

Chen Shuli followed Kang Jianfei. When the two walked out of the elevator and headed towards the conference room, she didn't fully believe that Kang Jianfei had become a shareholder of Lishi.

Mr. Kang, please come with me!Zhong Jinghui smiled and took Kang Jianfei and the others to the conference room.

Zhong Jinghui is in his 40s and is as old as Huang Xizhao in Lishi. He became Lishi's deputy general manager 10 years ago.

This person later became the founding dean of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts Drama, the founding president of the Hong Kong Drama Association, and even became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Kang Jianfei pushed the door and entered, and there were two foreigners sitting in the conference room. Zhong Jinghui introduced: Mr. Kang, this is director Ke Zhengli, and this is director Zhan Shimo.

Kang Jianfei has read the information of several directors of the board of directors of Lishi. Ke Zhengli is a director appointed by Jardine Wong, while Zhan Shimo is from Standard Chartered.

After shaking hands with the two ghost guys and greetings, not long after waiting, the directors appointed by the three Australian consortiums also arrived.

Lisboa's three new Australian shareholders are Davidson, Henry Chungs and CRA Co., Ltd.

Davidson is a newspaper group headquartered in Melbourne; Henry Chungs is an Australian food company that will be acquired by Coca-Cola in the future; and CRA is the famous Australian Rio Tinto Mining.

Among the major shareholders of Lisboa, Davidson Newspaper owns 232% of the shares, Henry Chungs owns 194% of the shares, CRA Group owns 186% of the shares, Oriental DreamWorks owns 165% of the shares, Jardinet owns 113% of the shares, and Standard Chartered owns 11% of the shares.

The board meeting was held today. The first purpose was to let Kang Jianfei join the board of directors, and the second was to discuss the business issues of the TV station.

When several shareholders arrived, Zhong Jinghui withdrew from the conference room and walked directly to Huang Xizhao's general manager's office.

Zhong Jinghui and Huang Xizhao are old friends. They also competed on TV a few years ago, but they ended with Zhong Jinghui's failure.

Nowadays, Li’s TV station has reached a delicate balance. Most of the middle and senior employees in the station belong to Huang Xizhao, and a small number belong to Zhong Jinghui.

After those three bastards, Australian shareholders controlled the TV station, they not only restricted Huang Xizhao from everywhere, but even Zhong Jinghui was in danger of being beaten.

It is precisely because of this that Zhong Jinghui and Huang Xizhao, the old friend and old opponent, will reunite and fight against the new shareholders.

The reason why the two diehards, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui, were not directly fired, is that in addition to the fear of causing chaos in the TV station, there is another very simple reason: according to the Hong Kong TV and Broadcasting Ordinance, if any TV broadcasting agency wants to appoint senior management, it must apply to the Broadcasting Administration and obtain approval.

This appointment application is not only complicated, but also the appointed candidate must hold a Hong Kong ID card.

In other words, Australian executives sent by new shareholders can at most be the supervisor of a certain department of the TV station. Before obtaining their Hong Kong ID card, they are not qualified to be the general manager and deputy general manager of Lishi.

Even if Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui were quit, the three Australian shareholders could not find a suitable candidate to manage the TV station for the time being.

So the current situation is that the two general managers of Lidean TV station broke up with the newly appointed department manager, and many of the work on the TV station cannot be carried out.

After entering Huang Xizhao's office, Zhong Jinghui sat down and said: Old Huang Ah, three Australian directors joined forces, and that Mr. Kang seemed to be useless.

Huang Xizhao sneered: Lishi has developed step by step in your hands. Those new shareholders want to do whatever they want unless they drive me out of the TV station.

Zhong Jinghui sighed: It's Ah, the TV series production system, that's the most cost-effective and guaranteed TV series quality that Lishi and Wireless have explored for many years.Now we have to abolish the responsibility system of supervisory production. What kind of director responsibility system is to be established? Isn’t this self-destruction?

The Hong Kong TV drama producer is responsible for the system, and its formation is completely the best way to achieve step by step practice.

Because the Hong Kong audience base is too small, the production of Hong Kong TV series requires rush to save money to ensure ratings, so a TV series is often filmed at the same time by several executive directors.

Each executive director has different styles, different progress, and different spending habits. There must be someone to control the shooting progress, style and budget of each executive director. This person is the producer.

There are three new Australian shareholders, one who runs newspapers, one who makes food, and the other who is a mining group.

They invited several elites from the Australian television industry to Lisboa, but they even insisted on reforming in the way Australia did.

As soon as this reform began, it was boycotted by most of the TV station's employees from top to bottom, while the new shareholder believed that Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui were interfering with it and did not think about their own mistakes at all.

……

In the conference room, Kang Jianfei's face was gloomy, and Chen Shuli leaned into his ear and kept translating the conversations between the other directors.

Kang Jianfei was now holding back his heart. Apart from him, the other directors were either British or Australian.

From the beginning of the board of directors, he actually spoke English in his mother, and he didn't care whether Kang Jianfei could understand it. Sometimes he spoke fast so fast that Chen Shuli couldn't translate it.

Alas, if you are not educated, you will be bullied!

What’s abominable is that the two directors of Jardine Massachusetts and Standard Chartered, they can speak Cantonese, but they always speak English.

More than ten minutes later, when several other directors applauded and welcomed him to join the board of directors, Kang Jianfei was too lazy to listen anymore and said to his secretary Chen Shuli: You can record all these ghosts saying anything.

Chen Shuli nodded and said: OK.

Kang Jianfei suddenly stood up and smiled at the ghost guys: Sao Rui, I'll go out for a while.

Zhan Shimo from Standard Chartered said in Cantonese with a smile: Please.

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to hold a board meeting with them anymore. Those ghosts clearly wanted to give him a warning and unite to harmonize him.

Especially the people from Jardine Massachusetts and Standard Chartered. The last time the petition group was operated behind the scenes. After Kang Jianfei released their pigeons, he was probably already held grudge.

Kang Jianfei broke into Huang Xizhao's office directly and smiled at Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui and said: Two, how about going out for a cup of coffee?

Good Ah.Zhong Jinghui smiled.

The three of them went downstairs side by side, which caused many employees who didn't know the situation to discuss, and privately speculated whether the TV station was going to have a big cooperation with DreamWorks.

When he came to the cafe and sat down, Huang Xizhao asked with a smile: Why doesn’t Mr. Kang continue to hold a board meeting?

Kang Jianfei said angrily: They all talk about birds singing, but I don’t understand, why are you doing there?

Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui thought Kang Jianfei was angry, but they didn't expect that because they couldn't understand English, they couldn't help laughing.

As a British colony, although most civilians do not speak English, the meetings of large companies are basically in English, especially those British-funded enterprises.

Seeing that both of them were laughing, Kang Jianfei was not ashamed at all and asked: What is the situation with those Australian shareholders?They invested more than 100 million yuan in total, so how dare they do whatever they wanted, and aren’t afraid that all investment will be wasted?

Huang Xizhao said helplessly: Those three shareholders are not TV companies, and with several Australian executives provoking them, they didn't listen to my and Ah Hui's explanation at all.

Kang Jianfei asked again: What about the other old shareholders?Let them do it randomly?

Zhong Jinghui said: Of course it is impossible. If the old shareholders hadn't strongly opposed it, Lao Huang and I would have been fired.

Huang Xizhao said: It is estimated that there has been a quarrel in the conference room now. Standard Chartered and Jardine Mahjong are old shareholders at the beginning of the establishment of Taiwan, and they also want to run the TV station well.

Zhong Jinghui said again: Jardine was also one of the shareholders of Jiashi. Since Jiashi went bankrupt, Jardine has lost much interest in TV stations.Especially since Jardine has been in a acquisition war recently, if Mr. Kang wants to acquire the Lishi shares he has, it is a good time.

Kang Jianfei shrugged and said: Those bastards don’t contact me at all.

Huang Xizhao analyzed: Merchants are pursuing profits, and Jardine Mail and Standard Chartered are definitely taking the opportunity to raise prices, waiting for you to quote a higher price.

Kang Jianfei did not continue to discuss this matter, but asked: What is the biggest difficulty in Taiwan now?

Huang Xizhao said seriously: People's hearts are unstable.

In fact, it was Huang Xizhao's initial intention to rely on many employees to put pressure on new shareholders to withdraw his intention to reform.However, to this point, Huang Xizhao has lost control of the situation.

The human heart is a very subtle thing, but it can determine many things.

The current situation of Li’s TV station is that people are overstated and they cannot produce excellent TV programs with creativity.

The result is that the ratings of Lisboa, which frequently hit wireless stations last year, have now fallen below the red line.

Of course, the new Australian shareholders are not all negative impacts. For example, the introduction of scientific management concepts and technical equipment has also had some positive impacts on Lissi.

Just a few days ago, with the insistence of Australian executives, Lisboa introduced the first application of microwave technology and broadcast the Provincial Hong Kong Cup football match held in Guangzhou live.

This was a breakthrough in the history of Hong Kong TV. Shortly afterwards, the wireless TV station also introduced this technology. Since then, microwave technology has been often used in the live news broadcast of Hong Kong TV stations.

Kang Jianfei adjusted the coffee and said to Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui: I hope the two can comfort those backbone talents and not let them go to TVB.At most, I will be able to control Lishi next year. At that time, I will respect the opinions of both of you to the greatest extent in the affairs of the TV station.
