Chapter 238 Music Bank
Starting from the first week of October, Liu Zhicheng came to the Huangpu Group office in a very happy mood.

Not long after he sat down, General Manager Hao Qingwen came to Liu Zhicheng's office.

"Boss, we got a good piece of land."

"Oh." Liu Zhicheng also smiled happily and said, "Tell me about it?"

"We have acquired the land at the old Tsuen Wan pier. This land is very good whether it is used to build a residential building or a shopping mall."

Liu Zhicheng immediately said happily: "Okay, the old Tsuen Wan Pier is a good place. I think we can build a Tsuen Wan Plaza on it and create an urban complex."

Hao Qingwen nodded and said, "Okay! Tsuen Wan lacks large shopping malls. I believe that our Tsuen Wan Plaza will immediately become a landmark of Tsuen Wan District after its successful construction."

Liu Zhicheng nodded. He certainly knew this, so after the stock market crash, he asked his men to start paying attention to the government's land auctions or land exchanges.

If there is a suitable piece of land in Tsuen Wan, be sure to bid for it and exchange the land exchange rights certificate.

"Did you encounter any trouble?" Liu Zhicheng asked curiously.

“As you know, since the success of Shatin City Plaza, Sun Hung Kai’s investment strategy has been to build large-scale integrated shopping malls in new towns and large residential estates in the New Territories to expand the company’s investment shopping mall network.

So, both of us were interested in this piece of land, but we were one step ahead and got it from the Hong Kong government."

Sure enough, this project is competing with Sun Hung Kai.

Because Liu Zhicheng knew that in the previous life, it was Sun Hung Kai who took the lead in developing the large-scale comprehensive shopping mall Tsuen Wan Plaza in Tsuen Wan.

Now that the Tsuen Wan Plaza project has been acquired by the New Age Group, Sun Hung Kai Properties may have to compete with Chinachem’s Little Sweetie for the land of Ritz-Carlton, Taipei.

Tsuen Wan belongs to the New Territories and the land can be exchanged with a land exchange rights certificate, which will inevitably lead to a bloody fight.

Liu Zhicheng said: "Our shopping mall network can be properly integrated. Now we have Hong Kong Land and Whampoa Group also have it. This is not conducive to the development of shopping malls."

In recent years, Sun Hung Kai has planned a network of more than a dozen shopping malls, which can be described as ambitious.

"Okay, when I get back, I'll hold a relevant meeting and come up with a plan for you to approve."

For several core senior executives, the boss's instructions are like imperial decrees and must be implemented without fail.

Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "Although many Hong Kong people have immigrated in recent years, many have returned. Therefore, we must also pay attention to alternative lifestyles to package the houses we launch, such as Athens style, California style, Australian style, etc.

In short, I told you during the 1987 stock market crash that to establish a high-quality and high-taste image, you need to work hard all the time. It is not as simple as simply building a house. "

Hao Qingwen said seriously: "Okay, I know. Since our company was founded, it has been different from other real estate developers. We attach importance to the quality and taste of houses, and have formed a good reputation in the market!"

This is true!

There are many characteristics of real estate developers on the market. For example, the houses of Chinachem Real Estate are all made of inferior materials, but the prices are cheap and they are also popular among some low-income people.

For example, the houses of Henderson Land Development are all small in size and very popular in the market. Henderson Land even invented the pocket shop, which converts small sites in the city into pocket-sized shops and residences. On the surface, the overall property prices are not high, but the average price and profit per square foot are quite amazing.

Since Liu Zhicheng took over the Huangpu Group, he has attached great importance to quality and taste. The main houses are over 500 square feet in size. In the past two years, the main houses have been adjusted to over 600 square feet.

Even though Liu Zhicheng had never been a real estate developer in his previous life, he knew the economic trends of the country.

So we know that with the arrival of the late 80s, Hong Kong citizens were no longer satisfied with housing areas of 300 square feet, but preferred 5001000- square feet.

It's a very simple truth. Hong Kong's economy has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the number of middle-income earners has increased a lot.

The two chatted about some real estate work, and Hao Qingwen felt as if he had heard a bolt of lightning and a beacon of light, and walked out of Liu Zhicheng's office with high morale.

After Liu Zhicheng left, he wrote down the shopping mall network on a piece of paper and suddenly fell into deep thought.

.........

Liu Zhicheng came to the office of ATV Building at 81 Broadcast Road, and Zhou Liangsuyi told him a good news that ABC in the United States was in contact with ATV to discuss the purchase of the copyright of Millionaire.

"How much did they quote?" Liu Zhicheng asked with concern.

Zhou Liang Shuyi said with an excited expression: "600 million US dollars!"

It's just less than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, is it necessary to be so excited?

Liu Zhicheng said: "Ask for 1000 million US dollars and tell them that we can send a team to assist them!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, isn't that a bit high?"

TVB only makes a net profit of over HK$200 million a year!

Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, “Just tell them that the British TV station has also come to negotiate the copyright for the British TV series The Sun Never Sets. This way they will know that our copyright for Millionaire is in great demand.

Of course, $800 million is not out of the question. Just be bold and talk to them. Tell them that this program can make ABC earn more than $5 million, ahead of the other two TV stations. It is worth the price!"

Zhou Liang Shuyi then said confidently: "Okay, I will pay attention to the negotiations!"

ATV has achieved outstanding results this year. The copyright of Justice Bao has also started to be sold. If The Millionaire is really sold for 800 million US dollars, ATV's net profit this year will be more than million Hong Kong dollars.

You know, this year ATV did not shut down the big water roar, and is still recruiting people. As a result, the number of people in ATV has exceeded 2100!
Of course, Liu Zhicheng has asked Zhou Liang Shuyi to start saving money, after all, the new headquarters of ATV is about to be built.

After Zhou Liang Suk-yee left, Yu Xiaoming from YG Entertainment came to Liu Zhicheng's office again, and the two discussed some Hong Kong-style things.

Liu Zhicheng shared all his insights and ideas with Yu Xiaoming.

His purpose was to do this thing, and he was just the godfather behind the scenes.

After Yu Xiaoming left excitedly, Liu Zhicheng planned to take a look around the office building.

After all, he is the chairman now, so it won’t cause any trouble even if he calls the artists to his office for a photo.

Were there not enough scandals about Uncle Shao in the 1970s and 1980s?
It is said that female stars often come in and out of his villa. When the media interviewed him, he said that he was romantic but not vulgar.

Liu Zhicheng is certainly not a vulgar person, and he has never had any scandals with any of his actresses!

Along the way, employees and artists greeted him one after another, and Liu Zhicheng responded warmly.

"Zhou Huimin!"

Zhou Huimin was startled and turned around to see that it turned out to be her boss.

Suddenly, she stood there, lowering her head shyly.

Liu Zhicheng walked up to Zhou Huimin and looked her up and down. She had straight and long legs, black hair with bangs, and a standard Chinese oval face, which always showed a pitiful expression.

"busy?"

"Not busy, just finished work!"

Liu Zhicheng looked at his watch and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Zhou Huimin suddenly became very nervous and hesitantly said, "Today?"

Liu Zhicheng was slightly stunned and said, "No?"

Zhou Huimin fiddled with the corners of her clothes with both hands and said, "Of course, I can, but I have to go home early."

"Oh, come to the parking lot later!" Liu Zhicheng said.

After all, this is ATV, so he has to pay attention to his image.

This woman is pretty good. In her previous life, Ni Zhen didn’t make a fuss even when he was in that situation, and they don’t have any children. It seems like she is easy to deceive.

The important thing is that they don't have to have children, which is what Liu Zhicheng likes. Because this means they don't have to bear too much burden.

The two came to the suite of the Burj Al Arab Hotel. The luxurious suite was more than a thousand square feet and was decorated with various luxurious decorations, showing the luxury of this place.

After opening a bottle of red wine, the two started eating side by side.

Seeing Liu Zhicheng's aggressive eyes from time to time, Zhou Huimin knew that she couldn't escape today. The key was that she didn't have the courage to refuse. Maybe she also had some good feelings in her heart. After all, she heard that it was this boss who hand-picked her to sign with ATV and then made her famous.

Zhou Huimin mustered up her courage and said, "Boss, I want to make three rules with you!"

Liu Zhicheng immediately found it funny: "Tell me about it!"

Zhou Huimin immediately said: "First, our relationship cannot be made public because I don't want to be scolded."

"No one will scold me!"

"I don't care, you have to promise me anyway!"

"Row!"

Zhou Huimin continued, "Second, if I want to end this relationship, you can't use force to oppress me, and you are not allowed to hurt my family!"

Liu Zhicheng immediately burst into laughter, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"What are you laughing at? You can't be that cruel!" Zhou Huimin said fearfully.

Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Who do you think I am, Miss Zhou Huimin? Have you ever seen a woman say bad things about me?

Besides, would I do something illegal? I am worth tens of billions, and I am framing a little girl like you who can't even afford a million. This is simply an unequal relationship!"

Zhou Huimin was relieved and continued, "Third, I won't take your money, and you don't have to give me expensive gifts!"

Liu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you want?"

Zhou Huimin glared at Liu Zhicheng fiercely and said angrily, "Why would I want anything from you? You are so good at flirting with girls!"

After saying that, Zhou Huimin looked at Liu Zhicheng cutely and angrily.

Liu Zhicheng suddenly felt that she was a beauty and immediately went over to suck her.

The atmosphere in the room began to heat up, and Liu Zhicheng stood up, held Zhou Huimin in his arms and continued his actions.

This woman has a great figure!

"Carry me in, I want a white towel!"

Liu Zhicheng was delighted. There will be a bloody disaster tonight.
The fighting soon ceased and Zhou Huimin could not bear the heavy blow.

Liu Zhicheng admired her masterpiece and found her legs to be really nice, although this year's Miss Asia, Gigi Lai, also had nice legs.

But her face was indeed not good enough, so Liu Zhicheng looked down on her. On the contrary, Liu Zhicheng planned to let Weng Hong follow the path of Qiu Shuzhen in her previous life.

After admiring her for a while, he just lay down and Zhou Huimin came up to him and wanted to lie in his arms.

"From now on, if there is anything I don't understand, I can come and ask you!" Zhou Huimin said.

Liu Zhicheng smiled. He was not a life mentor. Of course, the girl still needed to be coaxed.

"Of course, you can leave any trouble to me!"

"Humph, the biggest trouble is that if it gets exposed, I'll be scolded to death!"

Liu Zhicheng comforted him: "Don't worry! We won't be exposed if we are careful!"

He really wanted to maintain this kind of relationship, and Zhou Huimin actually took the initiative to propose it. How thoughtful!
.........

mid-December.

Hong Kong media reported that Asia Television sold the copyright of Millionaire to ABC in the beautiful country for HK$6000 million.

The media also reported that many overseas TV stations have paid attention to the millionaire and are expected to join the ranks of purchasing copyrights.

For a moment, all the citizens of Hong Kong were shocked.

Although the ratings of "Millionaire" are higher than those of "Justice Bao", reaching 43 points and more than 250 million viewers, but what is the concept of 6000 million Hong Kong dollars? It is probably more than % of TVB's annual net profit!
"Mr. Liu is so amazing. He has the Midas touch. He managed to turn ATV into the size of TVB even though it was in such a bad situation!"

"That's not right. Isn't ATV actually operated by Chow Liang Suk-yee?"

"You don't understand! Although Chow Liang Suk-yee is great, she is only good at administrative management after all. The biggest contribution to the rise of ATV is the many wonderful programs.

It is said that Mr. Liu was the one who made the plans in this regard. Otherwise, if it was Chow Liang Suk-yee, why didn't ATV produce any good programs back then? "

"That makes sense! Mr. Liu always has good ideas for everything he does."

For a time, Liu Zhicheng received a lot of praise!

For Hong Kong people, they naturally hope that ATV and TVB can compete on equal terms, so that citizens will have more choices.

In the past, everyone would instinctively choose TVB, but now it is different, everyone also likes to watch ATV.

Then, as the greatest contributor to enriching the spiritual life of citizens, Liu Zhicheng naturally received praise.

After all, the TV stations don't charge citizens.

ATV has many ratings-winning programs, including Who's the Millionaire?, The Voice of Hong Kong, and The Prize-Winner, but Liu Zhicheng is not satisfied!

Therefore, he decided to create a music program, not imitating TVB's Jade Solid Gold, but imitating the Korean Music Bank in his previous life.

He called Chow Liang Suk-yee and said, "Although our strength in recording is still not as good as TVB, we have made great progress and our singers are also very talented."

Selina Chow nodded and said, "Yes! New artists like Leon Lai, Aaron Kwok, and Chow Wai Man have all achieved platinum records.

In addition, several people selected from the Hong Kong Voice have also developed well, and there are also singers such as Luo who were poached from TVB. "

Liu Zhicheng said with satisfaction: "So, we need to give them a more authoritative stage. I want to create a music program called Music Bank.

The show is held once a week, and the songs are all new songs by artists who have just released records. Because they are new songs, everyone is willing to listen to them, so they are naturally popular.

If someone releases a new song, he or she will continue to appear on the show for a period of time, commonly known as "promoting the song."

We treat all singers equally, regardless of whether they are from ATV or not. We select a champion every week, and they can come to the show as many times as they want to perform, and there is no limit on the number of times they can win. Triple crowns and seven crowns are all allowed.

The scoring criteria could be 50% record sales, and then audience votes. Anyway, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Liang Shuyi said quickly: "I understand a little bit. Once we have formulated a preliminary plan, we will come back to you for advice!"

Liu Zhicheng nodded!

In fact, this program was created for his Hong Kong pop stars, but it was just put together first so that when YG Entertainment's boy and girl groups come out in the future, there will be a place to promote their songs.

As a time traveler, Liu Zhicheng has endless ideas for the show. Often, he only needs one creative idea to give the ATV team a direction to move forward.

No wonder so many seniors who traveled through time like to be plagiarists.

However, the series Genesis did not perform as well as Liu Zhicheng had imagined, with the ratings being only around 26, and is not expected to rank among the top five ATV series this year.

It seems that it is really important to capture the hearts of housewives. Fortunately, ATV has made great achievements in family fashion dramas, and it shoots a few of them every year to keep the eyes of housewives.

At this time, ATV had a large drama production department with a wealth of talented people.

Therefore, Liu Zhicheng plans to start filming the new Legend of White Snake on ATV next year, and of course he has to go to the mainland to shoot the scenes!
In the future, should we consider buying the copyright for the My Fair Princess from Taiwanese actress Qiong Yao?

For a time, Liu Zhicheng felt that he could still provide a lot of suggestions on ATV's future dramas.

Whether or not you can achieve the same success as in your previous life is no longer important; as long as the film is made, the ratings will definitely be good.

Even if it was ruined, Liu Zhicheng didn't feel sorry.
