Hong Kong Island Old Events

He Dingxian could not deny that what Bai Liji said was very reasonable, and he knew that while the economy was developing, British capital would have a comprehensive advantage. After all, the police force was just a police force. As the governor, all political achievements were attributed to the governor.

If Hong Kong Island's people's livelihood field can be developed, new immigrants will be very supportive of the Hong Kong government. And when the Hong Kong government develops the people's livelihood field, it can introduce British capital, and when it develops the education field, it can brainwash the Chinese.

Bai Liji obviously wants to continue Ge Hongliang's governing ideas, but he has changed his governing methods and no longer seems so radical. This is very similar to Bai Liji's method of governing in Singapore, which is to negotiate as much as possible and delay conflicts.

However, after He Dingxian saw through Bai Liji's thoughts, he still nodded and said: "Yes, sir."

"The police force will fully support the Hong Kong government."

Because developing Hong Kong Island's economy, improving people's livelihood, and boosting industry are the pursuits of all Hong Kong citizens, even if we do things that go against the people's will, we will not get any benefits. The police force can manipulate the world and disrupt the situation, but once or twice is fine, but if it happens more than once, the economy will get worse and worse, and the brothers below will not agree.

Moreover, He Dingxian knew very well that the Chinese in Hong Kong Island were positioned as chess pieces. Before 1997, the chess players were never Hong Kong people, but the British and the North. Bai Liji may want to turn Hong Kong Island into the second largest island in Southeast Asia and make Hong Kong Island an autonomous state of the British in the future. To a certain extent, this can also be regarded as the ultimate goal of completing the British annexation of Hong Kong Island.

But unfortunately, this is not what Daying said!

The North would not agree.

There is no need for He Dingxian to worry unfoundedly. He can just let the tall man take the lead. His subordinates also control the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. They are already influential in economic matters and will not be left behind in the process of development. As long as you are still sitting at the poker table, you can always have the opportunity to win over the opponent's chips.

"Thank you, Sir He."

Bai Liji smiled and stretched out his hand, his expression very confident.

He Dingxian shook hands and said, "No need."

Jian Baoning also smiled at the side. The Chinese people in the police force maintained good cooperation with the Hong Kong government, which was the most beneficial result for them.

Immediately, Jian Baoning stood up and said: "Sir, it's getting late, let's not disturb you for now."

"good."

"Walk slowly."

Bai Liji stood up and said goodbye.

He Dingxian then bowed to say goodbye and left Taiping Mountain with Jian Baoning.

The next day.

morning.

Bai Liji delivered an inaugural speech at the Governor's Mansion and appointed various positions such as Secretary to the Governor, Senior Assistant, and Affairs Officer. There is no need to question whether the Hong Kong government's future performance will be loyal to the citizens or to federal interests. It just depends on whether Bai Liji can set the right standards and give a bottom line acceptable to the Chinese.

A month later, Oriental Film Company, General Manager’s Office.

Lardboy was wearing a white suit, with a big belly and a bulging belly. He put a cup of green tea on the table: "Brother Xian, have a cup of tea first."

"You asked me to come here specifically. Is there anything the company is unsure about?" He Dingxian picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked aloud. With a smile on his face, Lardboy raised two fingers and said humbly: "Two things. The first thing is that the brothers of Yiqun's overseas cousins ​​have recently had a lot of conflicts with people from Haiding Society. We have also opened up channels in Southeast Asia and want to distribute flour in Singapore. The second thing is that there is news in the industry that the Hong Kong government plans to open a cable TV station license."

"Brother Xian."

"It seems like making TV is very profitable."

He Dingxian looked at the lard guy's mouth almost dripping with laughter, and said with a smile: "Don't be greedy, there is no way that the TV station license will fall into your hands."

The opening of cable TV channels is indeed influenced by the new Hong Kong Governor's policy.

But when it comes to licenses, it seems to be a specialized business. Chinese capital has no competitiveness in front of British capital. In fact, the first TV station license has been determined and won by the "Li's Voice" company, and "Li's Voice" company It is currently the most listened-to commercial radio station on Hong Kong Island. It has three channels: Cantonese, Mandarin and English. Its parent company is Commonwealth Voice.

At present, Li's Voice has registered a subsidiary company called "Li's Image", which is specially used to operate TV stations.

"oops."

"Let the ghost guy take the lead again." Lardboy slapped his forehead in annoyance and said angrily: "What should I do?"

"Brother Xian."

"My money was taken away by a ghost guy, I feel so bad!"

He Dingxian smiled and said: "You have a good vision, and you specialize in profit-making industries."

"Hey, movie companies are making so much money. A company that shows movies twenty hours a day will definitely make more money." Lardboy said, "And the license alone is worth thousands of gold. Even if it doesn't work well, it can be resold in the future." Make a fortune."

"What a thief."

He Dingxian lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "It's just what you want."

"Gui Lao can't think of it?"

"Licenses are originally used to make money. Who doesn't know that licenses are important? Although TV is different from film companies, they have some things in common. Although, there are not many people in Hong Kong who can afford to install cable TV. But TV stations are an important forum for public opinion.”

Television can be regarded as the second revolution in the media industry. Once it appears, it will quickly replace the media status of newspapers, just like online media quickly replaced the media when it appeared.

As the first TV station on Hong Kong Island, Lai's TV adopts a charging system and installs wired optical cables. Each channel needs to pay rent. Most people cannot afford it. It only had more than 300 users in the first year of operation.

Ten years later, TVB, the second TV station on Hong Kong Island and the first free-to-air TV station, will be granted a license, officially opening the era of free TV.

Li's was later reorganized into ATV.

It can be said that Li's Image did not make money as imagined. The most valuable thing is indeed the TV license. Ten years later, with the emergence of wireless communication technology and the emergence of free TV licenses, it was the time when the TV station really made money.

But this does not mean that Li's image is not important.

"Brother Xian."

"Then what should we do? Oriental Pictures can't make Oriental TV?" Lardboy sighed with a very regretful expression.

Hong Kong Island Copper Plate.

If you don't make any money, you're losing money.

He Dingxian thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If we can't get the TV license, we can send someone to talk to Li's senior management about whether we can subcontract one or two channels to us. Firstly, we can control the TV sound channel. Secondly, we can Accumulating experience in TV production, whether making money or losing money, will be beneficial to competing for the next TV license."

There is no way he would let go of the TVB license.

"good."

Lardboy looked delighted and promised, "I'll send someone to talk to you right away."

"Nanyang aspect."

"Brothers, have you suffered much loss?"

He Dingxian flicked the ashes of his cigarette and considered.

He has always known that there is a conflict between Yiqun and Haiding Society. First of all, the big bosses of the chamber of commerce behind the two societies are competing with each other. How can the people below remain indifferent? Secondly, Yiqun and Haiding are both Nanyang plug-in societies, that is, foreign societies developed in Nanyang.

Neither of them dared to penetrate deeply into the basic base of local societies. The industries that each other could join were highly overlapping, and competition naturally existed. Therefore, after Haiding Society gained a foothold, the conflict with Yiqun became more and more intense.

"Well enough."

Lardboy calmed down his expression and puffed on the smoke: "More than twenty brothers died last month, just to compete for the fruit farm business. Mr. Jiang got the management rights of two berths in Singapore Port last year. He had been transporting fruits." Cover.”

"Haidingshe may also want to consider the dock now."

The Port of Singapore is currently the largest port in the Asia-Pacific region. It is adjacent to the Strait of Malacca and has more than 40 berths in total. The management rights of each berth are worth thousands of dollars, no less than a medium-sized terminal on Hong Kong Island. Although only one ship can dock at a berth at the same time, the berths in the Port of Singapore are never vacant, and large cargo ships with tens of thousands of tons come and go.

Jiang Tianyang was able to obtain the management rights of two berths, which is inseparable from Ho Dingxian's efforts for Nanyang on Hong Kong Island. However, with Lim Yew Hock succeeding Ma Siowa as the Chief First Minister, Singapore's highest Chinese authority in Nanyang.

The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce's investment has also paid off. Dinghai Society has grown extremely rapidly and has reached more than 7,000 people, making it a medium-sized local society.

The popularity is as high as that of Yiqun in earlier years. The Nanyang Chinese regard Dinghai Society as the second largest Chinese society. "Dinghai is Ningbo." Just by hearing the name, you can know the background of Dinghai Society.

"You call Tianyang and tell Tianyang that business will continue as usual, and don't save any face for Dinghai She. Lin Youfu's prestige will not last long. Someone from the Chinese Front will be tougher. We also supported the Chinese Front back then."

"Why give it to a latecomer?"

He Dingxian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "In addition, help Boss Li of the Action Front to do more work. I have already had an affair with Boss Li. Yiqunshe is the knife in Boss Li's hand. No matter what Boss Li wants to stab, To whom.”

"Yiqun is responsible for running it well. If Boss Li takes over in the future, the benefits will definitely be great."

After receiving the boss's statement, Lardboy knew that Lin Youfu was in the past, and Jiang Tianyang could let the brothers work freely and stop caring about the Labor Front's face. There is no doubt that this is another political speculation. The more than 10,000 brothers in the Nanyang Yiqun Society are the bargaining chips. If they are a stud, they will either end up in the coffin or make a lot of money. Jiang Tianyang has the ability to run a society, but when making political choices, he is a little uncertain and lacks courage, otherwise he will save the lives of his brothers.

"Understood."

Lardboy whispered.

He Dingxian drank two more cups of tea and chatted for a while. Lardboy bought a villa in Repulse Bay and lived the life of a young rich man, but he had not yet gotten married and had children. He Dingxian suspected that he had something hidden that he was not telling. But Lardboy told him: "Brother Xian, I only like the feeling of choosing a number in the stable. I can choose a number every day, why should I hold a number plate until death? Life will be very boring."

He Dingxian looked at him in surprise: "Azai, you are so trendy, you actually think like this?"

"Oh, boss, you still need to go to the stable."

But Lardboy waved his hand: "It would be nice to go there more times."

"If everyone is willing to be a good husband, why is the horse stable business so prosperous? Being a man is very tiring, being a customer is God, and paying per order is the most cost-effective."
