1516 [Five Sacred Mountains]
"Ah Tian, congratulations" Jin Yong said with a smile.
"Mr. Xia, congratulations!" Chen Baoxin also smiled, "Your changes over the past year are really gratifying. We Chinese all feel honored overseas! If there are more geniuses like you in Hong Kong, then we Chinese will be more respectful."
Xia Tian acquired well-known American companies such as Columbia Pictures and Rainbow Media Holdings as a Hong Konger. The news spread, making Hong Kong people living in the United States and Canada feel very glorious.
Especially when he played Hong Kong movies on AMC cable TV channel, he surprised overseas Chinese. It seemed glorious and enviable, but in fact his life was not easy.
Because the language, culture, customs, food and climate of foreign countries and Hong Kong are different, it is difficult for immigrants to adapt to overseas life. Especially for older people, it is difficult for them to accept overseas life, so they live a very unhappy life.
They miss Hong Kong's food, the local accent of Hong Kong, and the customs and customs of Hong Kong. However, it is difficult for them to go out and come back, so they can only endure hard in a foreign country.
Like Chen Baoxin, his family immigrated to Canada and thought he could enjoy a happy life. Because Canadian real estate is very cheap, it is enough to buy a thousand-foot mansion in Hong Kong to buy a large villa in Canada. Moreover, the environment in Canada is very good, unlike Hong Kong, so it is better to stay there and live for many years.
But after I went there, I realized how crap it was. Canada is vast and sparsely populated, with a larger land area than China, but its population is only 27 million, so the population density is quite small. In order to make peace, their family chose to live in the suburbs, but he usually didn't want to find someone to chat, so he was suffocated to death.
But it was impossible for him to move back to Hong Kong, because the house in Hong Kong was sold, the company was sold, and his family was all in Canada. His children had their own careers and had already taken root in Canada. It was impossible for him to come back with him. So what he did every day in Canada was either walking his dog or staying at home and dazed.
After Xia Tian acquired Rainbow Media and introduced Hong Kong films to AMC channel, he immediately regained his vitality. Although AMC channel only displays one Hong Kong film every day, and it is played in two low-rated periods in the morning and late at night, it is enough to comfort his homesickness. Therefore, Chen Baoxin is very grateful to Xia Tian.
...
"Mr. Chen, you are polite." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "By the way, Mr. Cha, I plan to integrate its media companies within two years to integrate Mingpao Group, Tianxia Pictures, Asian TV, Tianfeng Records, Fantasy World, Tianxia Comics and other companies. In this way, resources can be concentrated and channels can be interconnected, which is convenient for management and boost efficiency. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Jin Yong was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "You are going to be the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect!"
World Film is the largest film company in Hong Kong and has the strongest strength; Asian TV is the TV station with the highest ratings in Hong Kong, and has no power to fight back; Ming Pao Group is the top three newspaper groups in Hong Kong and has the highest credibility in Hong Kong; although Tianfeng Records was founded late, it is very strong; World Comics Club, the top comic club in Hong Kong, can compete with Huang Yulang's Yufeng Group; Fantasy World Magazine, the highest-selling novel magazine in Hong Kong, is the most popular among readers, and each issue sells more than 100,000 copies...
Merging these media companies in summer is equivalent to merging the five major sword sects of Huashan Sect, Taishan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Songshan Sect, and Taishan Sect. The Five Mountains Sword Sect formed will be the most powerful sect in Hong Kong.
It would be fine if summer was Linghu Chong, but if he was Zuo Lengchan or Yue Buqun, then there would be a lot of storms in Hong Kong from now on.
Judging from his vindictive personality, he has a high chance of becoming Zuo Lengchan or Yue Buqun. Therefore, Jin Yong couldn't help but feel a little worried and began to regret selling Mingpao Group to Xiatian.
Xia Tian is now the richest man in Hong Kong in terms of financial resources. If he controls the public opinion in Hong Kong, he will be almost unrivaled in Hong Kong. Even the Hong Kong and British governments, HSBC will be afraid of him.
The so-called way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency. But what I do now is to reduce the excess and serve the excess, which further strengthens Xia Tian’s power.
"I'm doing something against the will of heaven!" When Jin Yong thought of this, his face suddenly changed, and he felt that he had done something wrong.
...
"Mr. Cha, I have no interest in being the leader of the Five Mountains. If possible, I would rather learn from Linghu Chong and film with my beloved woman, and be a proud and proud man in the world." Xia Tian noticed the change in Jin Yong's face and knew that he was a little worried about his plan, so he waved his hand and smiled.
"Really?" Jin Yong said a little suspiciously.
"You think, if I really want to be the leader of the Five Mountains, then I will still film myself and be an actor. Why do I ask others to help me manage the company?" Xia Tian smiled.
Jin Yong was stunned for a while, then nodded.
In the past year since the acquisition of Ming Pao Group in summer, he has never intervened in newspaper affairs. Although he is still the chairman of the 44 listed companies in Hong Kong, he has never seen him love power much. Instead, he has left the company to others to manage. However, he is an actor and a director, and other jobs that are harder and less rewarding.
His approach is not like Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun, who are full of power and are really like Linghu Chong.
"It makes sense!" Jin Yong nodded and his view on Xia Tian changed.
"Mr. Xia, since you don't want to be the leader of the Five Mountains, why do you need to unite the Five Mountains?" Wang Shiyu, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke.
After hearing what he said, Jin Yong couldn't help looking at Xia Tian in confusion.
As Wang Shiyu said, if Xia Tian really doesn’t want to be the leader of the Five Mountains, then why do you need to promote the unity of the Five Mountains? Isn’t this contradictory to his statement?
Xia Tian's face suddenly turned cold when he saw Wang Shiyu say this.
He finally convinced Jin Yong, and this damn Wang Shiyu made another fuss. It's really a bastard!
"Because my goal is greater. Now the mainstream media in the international community are strengthening integration. Australian media tycoon Murdoch acquired Fox Film and also created his own TV network; American theater tycoon Redstone also acquired his own TV station; Ted Turner founded his own TV network and also bought MGM Pictures..." Xia Tianzhen said with a word.
"The strength of international mainstream media is gradually increasing, and Hong Kong will be their must-fight. If I don't strengthen myself, how can I compete with these international media in the future?" Xia Tian asked back.
After hearing what he said, Jin Yong and Chen Baoxin nodded.
International media has precedents invasion of Hong Kong. In 1981, the Australian consortium won the Hong Kong Asian TV station; in 1986, Australian newspaper tycoon Murdoch acquired the largest sales English newspaper in Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post, and privatized it and became his private phony tube...
The reason why these international media care about Hong Kong is mainly because Hong Kong is a free trade port with the most developed economy and the loosest legal system, which is most suitable for the development of the media. Moreover, it is backed by the mainland, and setting up a site here to radiate to the entire Southern China, so it has become a place that military strategists must fight for.
And these international media groups are indeed as Xia Tian said, with strong strength and huge power. If Hong Kong media does not integrate together, it will be really difficult to compete with them.
"It makes sense!" Chen Baoxin nodded.
