Jiawei's development in the past two years has not been optimistic. Without Cheng Long as the pillar, the chain reaction this year has completely dragged Jiahe to the bottom.

First of all, the absence of Cheng Long, the action superstar, not only did it lose the huge profits of the box office in other places, but it also caused the appeal of movies produced and distributed by Jiahe to drop significantly.

Secondly, the box office of Xiangjiang's local port shrank in 1995, and Jiahe was the first to be affected.

Not only did many of the films invested in have suffered losses, but it also caused losses to its theater chains.

If you look at the reasons in this, it will be inseparable from Lin's Pictures.

Tao Yushu spent a lot of effort and funds to integrate Lin's theater chain, not only making Lin's theater chain the largest producer of films in Xiangjiang, but also the largest western theater chain.

It has directly monopolized most of the excellent Hong Kong films and western film distribution resources that directly monopolized most of the Xiangjiang film market. Jiahe Cinema has been sanctioned by Lin's Cinema in the past two years.

Zou Wenhuai expressed his intention to withdraw from the world in his words. He seemed to want to sell Jiahe for a good price, but Tao Yushu did not take over the olive branch he had sent.

Tao Yushu knows the situation inside Jiahe very well.

Jiahe had been operating problems a few years ago. She had planned to go public before. It happened that Lin's family poached Cheng Long, which greatly damaged Jiawei's vitality and the listing move had to be stopped.

Since then, more and more problems within Jiahe have been exposed.

Last year, Jiawei's co-founder He Guanchang was seriously ill, and it was even worse for Jiawei to tell Jiawei.

Tao Yushu felt that Zou Wenhuai might be a little discouraged in this situation and planned to wash his hands, but she did not think that Lin Shiyinghe should take over.

The reason is also very simple. Lin's Film and I have become the overlord of the Xiangjiang Film Industry, and taking over Jiahe is nothing more than icing on it.

The key is that the troubles may be much more than the gains. The "action and monopoly" alone is enough for those who are interested to do something.

Moreover, Tao Yushu didn't think that Zou Wenhuai, the old fox, really wanted to sell Jiahe to Lin's Yinghe, because he was probably trying to get into the trap.

With one more bidder, Jiahe's value will increase by one point.

After politely rejecting Zou Wenhuai's show of kindness, Tao Yushu's car returned to Huazhang Tiandi and went up to the top floor.

Liang Botao, who was already here, saw Tao Yushu and immediately stood up to say hello.

"Madam Lin!"

"Sit down."

Liang Botao and Tao Yushu met mainly to report on the situation of Huadu Land, an art company.

Three years ago, Lin's Yinghe used a series of capital operation methods to purchase the Benda Center as an office building. According to Liang Botao's idea at that time, he planned to operate Huadu Real Estate to list and go to the Hong Kong stock market circle for a sum of money.

But since the beginning of 1996, the real estate market in Xiangjiang has become so scary.

Many newly built properties have almost doubled their prices in a year.

The market's fanaticism must have its source. The main reason is the catalysis of the Hong Kong and British governments. Anyway, Hong Kong will return soon, and they want to bury some more thunder for the mainland.

Secondly, the real estate developers are fueling the fire. Merchants always seek profit and avoid harm and are profitable, so they naturally do not let others come back.

Finally, it is the blind follow-up of the citizens.

In fact, everyone understands that Xiangjiang's real estate market has been running wildly for five or six years, and housing prices in many places have doubled and will inevitably have a big drop.

The day of return is very likely to be when housing prices plummet, but in this fanatical market, most people have lost their wisdom and wishfully believe that "the mainland will take over."

In such a fanatical market, even Liang Botao, a veteran in the capital market, could not help but feel a little worried, and in the end he did not implement his initial idea.

But after discussing with Tao Yushu, he began to sell his things one after another since October last year.

In the past two years, Liang Botao led Huadu Land to attack everywhere and purchased shares in many properties, hotels and companies. In the midst of the market, these investments have achieved remarkable returns.

Banshan Land's equity made a profit of HK$850 million, Chaiwan Xinghua Village Xiang made a profit of HK$560 million, and Fuli Hotel's equity made a profit of HK$240 million. In less than three years, Huadu Land's investment received a return of HK$3.61 billion.

Among them, there are also purples including the ownership of Huazhang Tiandi, and hotel and property projects invested by Huadu Real Estate in the mainland.

The funds used to leverage these returns were only a billion dollars invested by Lin and Baifuqin.

Billions of profits are certainly happy, but the next direction is what public helmsman needs to pay attention to the most.

Huadu Real Estate's operation was not so bearish on the Xiangjiang real estate market, and the next few billions of funds needed to find the target anchored by investment.

Finally, the two determined that in addition to a small amount of dividends, only 20% of the funds were left in Hong Kong, and the big head would enter the Chinese and American markets in two directions.

After discussing and determining the investment ideas, Liang Botao left Huazhang Tiandi.

In the evening, Tao Yushu was about to get off work, and the assistant writer Lai Wanqin came over to talk to Yi: "Teacher Lin, "Asia-Pacific Observer" is currently working on a topic about the 'return'. I would like to interview your views on the return of Xiangjiang."

"Asia-Pacific Observer" is a full-language magazine under Ming Pao Enterprise and its focus on political and financial incursions.

In order to fight against the South China Morning Post Group, Tao Yushu spent a lot of money on this magazine.

In the more than two years since its founding, it has quickly become a name for itself in Xiangjiang Media and due to its independence and pertinent change, and has become the leading political magazine in Asia because of its broad perspective.

"Asia Pacific Observer" is one of the few English newspapers and magazines in Ming Pao. Now the sales volume per issue is 8

Wanfen.

Don’t underestimate the sales of these 80,000 copies. Behind it is 80,000 or even more high-net-worth individuals.

With an excellent readership, the advertising revenue of "Asia Pacific Observer" has exceeded HK$53 million in 1996, and it is rare to look at the publication of Xiangjiang Periodicals.

Nowadays, print media is in decline, but the wealth that authoritative media can create is still considerable.

Moreover, what Tao Yushu cares about is not only wealth, but influence.

One day, if "Asia-Pacific Observer" can really become a very appealing weekly magazine around the world, that would be what she expected.

"This topic is good!"

Now that it is less than half a year before returning to Li, the situation in Xiangjiang has attracted the attention of the entire Asia and the world. Tao Yushu is very satisfied that the editorial department can choose such a clever entry point.

She had limited time and did not choose to accept interviews in person, but chose to interview them by phone.

Ten minutes later, the interview call from "Asia-Pacific Observer" was connected.

"The 20th century is coming to an end, and a new 21st century is coming. We should stay at the height of the 21st century. The return of Xiangjiang is the general trend of history.

"I think the return of Hong Kong should not be the end of China-UK relations, but a new beginning of bilateral relations in the next century."

Tao Yushu did not neglect the interview because it was her own media. When facing reporters' questions, she asked freely, fully revealing her judgment on the international situation and her recognition of Xiangjiang's return to the motherland.

Halfway through the interview, Tao Yushu noticed Lai Wanqin coming. She covered the phone receiver and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Your uncle called from Yanjing and said there was an important loss."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yushu's eyes narrowed slightly.

My uncle Du Ruolin rarely calls her on his own initiative, let alone Li said "there are important losses."

"Click it in."

"yes."

The phone was answered, and Tao Yushu listened to the voice of his uncle Du Ruolin on the other end of the phone, and his face became as serious as Zi.

Through the phone, Tao Yushu was stunned for a moment, and remembered the phone interview with "Asian Observer" and asked Lai Fangqin to make the phone call again.

The reporter on the other end just planned to continue the interview just now, but Tao Yushu said nothing:

"I think the theme of your magazine's next issue may change!"

On February 19, 1997, the superstar fell.

More than three hours after Tao Yushu received the call from Du Ruolin, the news of the old man's death was advertised by ZY Media.

For a moment, inside and outside the Great Wall, from all over the country, were immersed in great sorrow, and the old man's death also touched the nerves of the international political arena.

In the year when Xiangjiang was about to return to China, the sudden death of the old man made this "metal gathering" that had not been waiting for a hundred years suddenly become shaky, and various arguments emerged in the media in Xiangjiang.

Under such circumstances, the publicly controlled "Ming Pao" and "Asia-Pacific Observer" by Tao Yushu, and the Phoenix TV media sent a large number of reporters to Yanjing to bring the first-hand information from the old man after his death back to Xiangjiang as quickly as possible.

The benefits of public grasping the power of the media are completely clear at this moment. Various reports on the mainland situation in major media in Xiangjiang were quickly defeated.

The dark clouds that had just condensed above the city of Xiangjiang were already shining by the wind and waves.

According to the decision of the funeral committee, the old man did not accept foreign governments after his death. He sent people to slap people, even in Hong Kong and Macao, he only set up mourning halls to receive slap people.

In just two or three days, reporters squatting at the gate of Xin H Club's Xiangjiang Branch photographed hundreds of Xiangjiang politicians, wealthy businessmen, and cultural celebrities who appeared, but the only one who did not see the public holding Tao Yushu, the media queen.

At the same time, the plane Tao Yushu was on had just arrived at the Jundu Airport in Yanjing.
