    The Lee family is one of the four wealthy families in Hong Kong and has a very wide influence in the political and economic circles. Although Li Xiaohe is not the eldest son, he is the head of the Lee family. Therefore, his unexpected death has had a great impact on many people.  It has a great impact, and Shen Chong is no exception.  He does not have much direct interest relationship with the Li family, but the potential interest relationship is not small. For example, H does not mention the gentleman's agreement between him and Li Xiaohe, but only talks about who should sit as the chairman of H's board of directors left by Li Xiaohe.  ?  In the eyes of the media and ordinary viewers, Run Run Shaw is the only candidate. Everyone knows that he is very interested in the television industry and is one of the original founders of HR. He has been fully responsible for the daily operations of HR a long time ago and has brought the TV station to the forefront.  Watching HR TV series in the evening has become a part of the daily life of Hong Kong citizens. There is close cooperation and linkage between Shaw Brothers Film Company and H. Many people who don¡¯t know what is going on think that H is a company under Shaw Brothers.  However, Shen Chong knows that if he wants to fight for the dominance of TVHR, Run Run Shaw may not be able to win over him, because the largest shareholders of HR are HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, each owning U million H shares, while Run Run Shaw only has 360,000 shares.  Lijia only has more than 400,000 shares. With Shen Chong's recent victory over Jardine Matheson and his good personal relationships with Shen Bi and Li Ka-shing, it is easy to buy the millions of shares held by these two companies.  The thing - because satellite TV technology was not yet mature at this time, the TV station's coverage area and influence were very limited, and its profitability was not outstanding. For example, in 1978, when H's ratings were as high as UU and it was a near-monopoly, profits were only UU.  Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, for HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, this profit is completely worthless.  Run Run Shaw was obviously aware of this, so early the next morning, as soon as Shen Chong arrived at the company, he received an invitation call to attend a banquet at Clear Water Bay Villa in the evening.  "Xiaoyu, I'm going to see Run Run Shaw tonight. Please prepare a gift for me. He is a senior. I, a junior, come to the banquet and can't leave empty-handed." "What kind of gift?" "Elegant things like calligraphy and painting, etc.  Or something more festive will do, it doesn¡¯t need to be too expensive. Uncle Liu has never seen anything in the world, and he doesn¡¯t care about the value of the gift. Besides, if it is too expensive, it will be suspected of showing off, which will easily make people annoying." "Okay.  I hung up the phone and sat on the chair, thinking about what to say when I met Run Run Shaw at night.  He didn't have any bad thoughts about H. If he had, he would have taken action long ago. Run Run Shaw must have known this very well, but there are no absolutes in the world. Since Shen Chong put so much effort into restarting Jiayi TV, it shows that he has a deep understanding of the TV station business.  I am very interested, so it is not impossible to acquire H or even Li TV. Anyway, there is no anti-monopoly law in Hong Kong.  From a purely business perspective, taking advantage of H's internal instability and low value to win it in one fell swoop would be a hugely profitable investment. However, Shen Chong has a bigger goal. He is building a TV station. On the one hand, the TV station is a media group.  The indispensable core, on the other hand, is to use the TV station as a pool to cultivate acting talents.  Shen Chong is not short of money now, and he will not be short of money in the future, so the commercial value of HR is nothing to him. He values ??the TV station's ability to cultivate people more. Three TV stations compete with each other, and the talents they train are far better than those of two TV stations.  TV stations came in more and more, Lao Jiayi closed down, H immediately disbanded the film team and stopped shooting unit dramas on 16mm film, which is proof of this.  But having no interest does not mean that Shen Chong will do nothing. Shaw and H have a lot of resources that he urgently needs now, and he can take the opportunity to negotiate and dig some out.  While he was thinking, Gu Liwei walked in accompanied by Zhang Aijia.  "Mr. Shen, my mission is completed. Sister Zhang likes that office very much." "Vivian, your attitude of asking for credit and reward is too obvious." Shen Chong replied to Gu Liwei with Zhang Aijia's words last night, he  Picking up the glass bowl with rainbow candies on the table, she said: "I'll give you a candy." Gu Liwei smiled and stepped forward, grabbed a candy, and then left. "You, the boss, are too stingy. Take the candy."  Reward subordinates?  " "What else?  "Shen Chong leaned leisurely on the office chair and said with a smile: "Reward him with a kiss." Zhang Aijia obviously remembered the romantic charm that rewarded him last night. Her face was reddish, her eyes were watery, and she complained: "Can I be serious in the office?  "Okay, let's get down to business." Shen Chong asked, "Shao Yifu invites me to dinner tonight. Are you free? Let's go together. The Liu Shui Banquet is a major elegant event in the Hong Kong film industry.  " "For you men, Uncle Liu's running water banquet is of course an elegant affair. "It is a common practice for Run Run Shaw to open a running water banquet and let his female stars accompany him. Everyone in Hong Kong knows it. As an insider, Zhang Aijia naturally knows better.  She teased: "If I go with you, it will lose a lot of fun." "If Uncle Six treated me more than ten years ago, I would never let you go with me." Shen Chong smiled.  , He clasped his fingers and said: "Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Leti, You Min, and the Twelve Golden Hairpins headed by Li Jing and Zheng Peipei, tsk tsk, they are all unparalleled beauties. Of course I want them."Be close and close.  " "More than ten years ago, you were still a little kid wearing crotchless pants.  Zhang Aijia smiled and said: "When you meet those big stars, even if you are close to them, what can you do? I'm afraid you can't explain them clearly, right?"  She turned to smile and said: "The Shaw Brothers now have twelve new golden hairpins, He Lili and Jing Li, aren't they all great beauties?"  " "They are just beauties, not big stars.  Shen Chong shook his head and said, "I just want to meet big stars."  " "Is there a difference?  " "Of course there is a difference. The difference between a great beauty and a big star is like the difference between a Mercedes-Benz and a Ferrari.  Shen Chong thought for a moment and said, "You know, the car I drove yesterday, from start to finish 4 meters, was only seconds slower than a jet fighter. How about that?"  Doesn't it sound surprising?  "    "so what?  " "This is a legend," Shen Chong commented loudly, saying: "Celebrities are just like famous cars. In addition to good looks, they also need other things. A famous car must have strong power, legendary experience, and  To have the aura of a competition champion, the same goes for stars. They must have classic works, touching stories, and a trophy for Best Actress. Only then can they be considered big stars. You see, Lin Dai was the Best Actress at four Asia-Pacific Film Festivals.  "Beauty of the Country" and "Diao Chan" are still popular among people. Li Lihua has been in the film industry from Shanghai to Hong Kong for more than 20 years. She has been the two-time Golden Horse Best Actress. Li Hanxiang is her younger brother. He is a legend, right?  Her "Yang Guifei" and "Wu Zetian" are both sensational masterpieces, Lotte is recognized as a classical beauty, "A Chinese Ghost Story" stunned the Cannes Film Festival in France, Lin Daiyu is considered the most beautiful in "Dream of the Louvre", Zheng Peipei is the queen of martial arts, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is considered the most beautiful.  "Golden Swallow" and "The Drunken Man" are all classics. Only in this way can we be considered big stars.  " He Lili and the others are certainly great beauties in terms of appearance. Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time. When they debuted, Shaw Brothers was already dominated by Chang Cheh. Chang Cheh has always only made movies about masculine men. These new Twelve Golden Hairpins have acted in  There are dozens of movies, but none of them are masterpieces worth mentioning, so the charm is greatly reduced.  " "You are really demanding. According to your standards, there is no big star in Hong Kong right now.  "It's true that it doesn't exist now, but it should appear in a few years." Shen Chong said with a smile: "It is said that in the ten years of Hedong and the ten years of Hexi, the 1960s was the era of female stars, and the 1970s was the era of male actors, so the 1980s  The 1900s is definitely another time for women to come into their own. It seems that my spring is coming soon.¡±
