When we arrived in Hong Kong, we first went to pay Uncle Six New Year greetings. To be honest, if it wasn't for the New Year greetings, even though it was a billion-dollar deal, we could have postponed it later.
After all, there are not many people in the world who can do this kind of transaction. It’s not that Yang Dongxu is the richest in the world, but there are many people who are interested in Hedong Garden, but they are basically not as rich as him.
And those who are richer than him are not as sincere to Hedong Garden as he is. Even the economic analysts of the big chaebols are optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang.
But a multi-billion dollar deal cannot be finalized immediately, and even if we are optimistic about Hong Kong’s future economy. But when will Xiangjiang's economy recover, and when will the real estate industry, which has just started to take off, become popular again?
Even if it becomes popular again, will the Hedong Garden, which has been listed as a historical building by the Hong Kong government, be taken over by then? Whether the Hong Kong government agrees to the deal again, these are all questions.
No matter how rich you are, you can't gamble with billions. After all, the world's economy is booming now. You can still make a lot of money by investing money in fields you are familiar with. There is no need to take this risk.
"If you have nothing to do, just go around. The country is much better than before. You can go to the mainland to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland while your health is still good." Looking at the energetic Sixth Uncle Yang Dongxu He spoke.
"Forget it, we are all old men, so we won't go back and cause trouble to our motherland." Uncle Six waved his hand.
If you are an ordinary old man, there is nothing wrong with traveling around. But Uncle Six is obviously not an ordinary old man. If he goes to the mainland, even if he really just wants to travel briefly, he will cause a lot of noise.
Besides, old people of his age, even if they are still in good health, must be accompanied by servants and personal doctors. So when they were originally traveling alone or with Aunt Six, they ended up with a large team. People are more lively than people traveling in groups, so it is better to stay at home and have some peace and quiet.
"Have you and Aunt Six read the accounts of Wireless this year?" Yang Dongxu changed the subject when he saw that Uncle Six really didn't want to go out for a walk.
"Your sixth aunt has seen it." Speaking of this sixth uncle felt a little lonely.
It’s not that I regret selling Wireless to Yang Dongxu, but that I have worked hard for this industry all my life and it has won the recognition of almost everyone around the world. Everyone will praise a successful entrepreneur when they see it.
As a result, my children didn't care about this industry at all, if at all. What they care about is definitely how much money they can get from selling the wireless.
Although he knows how to live individually, his children also have their own ideals and lives. But I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart. After all, it is my life's hard work.
Although now a suitable successor has been found, it may even make wireless more brilliant. But people's selfishness will never disappear. It's just that some people can face it with an open mind, while some people are a little fussy about it.
Uncle Six was the kind of person who could openly hand over the wireless to Yang Dongxu, but when he thought that none of his children were willing to come back to help him, he couldn't hide the mixed feelings in his heart.
"What do you think of Wireless's reform plan this year?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Now that you have made a decision, just follow your own ideas. Now that you are the boss of Wireless, we old people can rest peacefully at home and enjoy the rest of our lives. Don't put the cart before the horse." Uncle Liu said.
The development of an enterprise is inseparable from the hard work and hard work of the elderly. If an enterprise wants to get out of dilapidation, these elderly people are the first to be cleaned up.
It's not that these old people are disloyal to the company, but that they are in love with all the old objects and developments in the company. It is the biggest resistance to new plans and changes.
It’s not that what they insisted on was wrong, but it was because they were right that they had to get rid of it. Because what is right may not be suitable for this era.
For example, the original glory of Wireless was inseparable from its mainstays in classic TV series and epoch-making variety shows. These are still the cornerstones of wireless ratings today.
But you can't deny that these cornerstones are still supporting TVB's ratings. But they are no longer suitable for this era. They introduce high-quality TV series and movies from the mainland, even Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, as well as other variety shows that are currently very popular in the market.
Only in this way can we inject new impetus into wireless, which is just like the current Hong Kong entertainment industry. Now it seems that there are still many stars gathering for glory, but ten or twenty years later, there is still no new generation who can stand up and take over the banner. On the other hand, in the mainland, a hundred flowers are blooming.
After a few years, anyone who is not blind will find that the prosperous people in Xiangjiang are still the old people, and few newcomers can name them. On the other hand, in the Mainland, actors such as Xiaohuadan and Xiaosheng are emerging one after another.
Let’s not talk about the quality of these young actors and actresses, nor how popular celebrities are tarnished by others. At least compared to the lifelessness here in Hong Kong, the mainland entertainment industry is full of vitality.
In fact, Yang Dongxu didn't think about clearing out the old man of Wireless at the beginning. He started to clean up the old man as soon as he took over Wireless. It obviously gave people the feeling that he couldn't wait to turn it into his own kingdom as soon as he took over Wireless and try his best to clear away the mark of Uncle Liu's existence.
But when he met with Heiner and wireless executives to study the wireless reform plan, many wireless executives objected on the spot, believing that some old programs should not be cut. Because these programs are not only emotional, but also memories for many people in Hong Kong.
But these programs that are suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to recall are obviously not suitable for young people to recall now. If we don’t reform now, when the world becomes more exciting in a few years, the attention of these young people will be divided up by other things. By then, it will be too late to fight for it.
But the reality is that TVB's senior executives have feelings for these programs and don't want to give them up, and the veteran employees at TVB also have feelings for these programs and don't want to let them go.
In the end, Yang Dongxu had no choice but to raise the butcher knife of layoffs, but even though he was laid off, he did not treat these people badly. The dividends that should be paid are a lot, and the compensation that should be paid is doubled. It is really shameful to have to support myself in an idle job, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing.
But even so, there are always some rumors coming out. In addition, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, or the bosses and CEOs of entertainment companies in Hong Kong, have never had a good impression of Yang Dongxu, and they stand behind him and add fuel to the flames.
For a time, this normal operation, which was originally unable to form a consensus on the company's reform, seemed to be a conspiracy theory. It made the front pages of newspapers and TV stations in Hong Kong for several days.
"Just do your thing with peace of mind. If your sixth aunt can't handle this matter well, I will come forward." Uncle Six said.
"Thank you Uncle Six for your support." Yang Dongxu thanked him. This thank you was sincere.
Old people like nostalgia, so for those TV projects that were axed. Not only was the old man in Wireless reluctant to give up, Uncle Six was also extremely reluctant to give up. Because many of these projects were personally executed by him at that time, and were the magic weapons that helped Wireless establish its position as the leader in Hong Kong.
It's just a pity that time makes people grow old. Now in these shows, the heroes are getting old and the beauties are getting old. In order for Wireless to continue its glory, new heroes and beauties need to appear.
"If you have any requirements regarding work, just put them forward and I will support them. You don't need to talk to me, an old man, about the specific work. I don't have that much energy to check your advisers. Just tell me the final result.
Let’s talk about things over there in Hedong Garden. "Uncle Liu waved his hand, indicating that he was not an old fool, and Yang Dongxu did not need to explain or ask for advice on wireless development in detail.
Although he felt a little sad that his children did not take over his property, now that he had made a decision, Uncle Liu was not an indecisive person. If Wireless is handed over to Yang Dongxu, Yang Dongxu will have the final say. Neither he nor Aunt Six will continue to interfere with the specific work of Wireless.
“I asked the Xiangjiang government, and as long as the Hedong Garden is not demolished, the government will not have any obstacles to this transaction.
And the government also promised me that the main structure of Hedong Garden would not be moved. Certain renovations and transformations can be carried out on Hedong Garden.
I also plan to donate some meaningful things in Hedong Garden to Hong Kong after buying it. The Xiangjiang government was very happy and gave me some preferential tax policies.
So the problem now is the transaction with the He family. 3.7 billion is absolutely impossible. This price is not generally high compared to current housing prices in Xiangjiang. They are all chasing the prices during the real estate bubble in Xiangjiang. "
"How many years have passed since the Xiangjiang real estate bubble? What were the prices at that time and what are the prices now? You won't bully my old man for not understanding currency depreciation, right?" Uncle Liu glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.
Yang Dongxu was thick-skinned and didn't care: "You are always right, but the other person is a bit too greedy to ask for so much. Did you agree to sell it at a low price?"
Although what Yang Dongxu said at this time was a bit playful and ironic, Uncle Six didn't pay much attention to it. Because the price offered by the other party was indeed a bit high. If the He family had offered such a price at that time, he might not have even bothered to ask Yang Dongxu. Did he really treat him as a fool?
Of course, this is only the price offered by the other party, and the final transaction price must be set after some negotiation between the two parties. But with the price set so high right from the start, the He family's expectations for the final transaction price of Hedong Garden must be high, so this negotiation is expected to take a long time.
There is no doubt that Yang Dongxu and Liu Shu are not people who like to gossip, and Yang Dongxu does not have that patience. Or he was in no mood to beat around the bush with people on things that could be solved straightforwardly.
At Uncle Six's age, it would be nice to raise fish and tease birds when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't want to waste too much energy on such tedious things.
"Let me help you find out what the final price is in your mind. In the end, you can negotiate the dispute yourself. The old man doesn't have that much energy to accompany you in the tug-of-war." Uncle Liu said.
"2.5 billion." Yang Dongxu directly gave a number without any nonsense.
Uncle Six glanced at him and nodded. This was indeed a tug of war. It is obviously difficult for the He family to lower the price below 3 billion, and it is probably impossible for Yang Dongxu to bid more than 3 billion for Yang Dongxu.
So this negotiation has probably been discussed, but this has nothing to do with Uncle Six. He just holds the strings, and he doesn't intend to interfere with whether the negotiation will be successful or not.
It was just because the old man liked nostalgia and didn't want to see Hedong Garden being demolished that he took the initiative to stop this living thing. But it was just nostalgia and he had no intention of sitting at the negotiation table.
