Chapter 285 Exchange of Interests

Chapter 285 Exchange of Interests
After Mrs. Li expressed her support for him, Fang Hexuan nodded at her with a smile, and she also returned a meaningful smile.

Fang Yihua saw all of this, and her already unhappy expression became even uglier.

Run Run Shaw laughed even more heartily than before, and said in a relaxed and calm tone:
"That's fine. Mrs. Li is very understanding and is willing to give young people a chance. As the largest shareholder, I can't stop her."

After saying this, he looked again at the remaining two shareholders, David Li and the Australian guy Hobbs.

These two people were quite smart and expressed their willingness to invest together, but they did not clearly specify which method of investment they supported.

From the perspective of their own interests, the Li family represented by David Li and the Australian consortium represented by Hobbs naturally do not want their shares to be reduced due to dilution. Everyone wants more shares, but they are unable to do so!
Among TVB's current five shareholders, ranked by shareholding ratio, Run Run Shaw is first, Li Luk Yan Kwan is second, the Australian consortium is third, Fong Hok Hin is fourth, and the Lee family is fifth.

The Australian consortium seems to be suppressing Fang Hexuan, but their purpose is investment, not out of spite, nor are they investing only in the TVB project. If they really want to compete with them for funds, they may not win.

As for the Li family, to be frank, they hold a certain amount of shares in TVB, which has more symbolic significance than practical significance. The purpose, in addition to diversifying the family's wealth investments, is naturally to maintain the Li family's social influence in Hong Kong.

What's more, the person who proposed to increase his holdings is the richest man in Hong Kong.

Others may not know that as an old family in Hong Kong with deep investments in the financial industry, the Li family understands Fang Hexuan's strength much better than others.

Because the flow of funds of all companies under Fang Hexuan, including himself, is almost no secret in the eyes of real financial experts.

Precisely because he is aware of Fang Hexuan's strength, Li Guobao is even more unwilling to offend Fang Hexuan for a few TVB shares. His Li family still hopes to get a few shares in the other party's company in the future!

This is also the reason why neither of them made a clear statement.

Run Run Shaw looked at the two shareholders' faces, who had almost no extra expression, and sighed secretly.

"Everyone knows that they can't offend Xuan, but they throw the ball to me instead!"

He already knew what the two were thinking. He drank a sip of the tea in front of him, cleared his throat and said:

"Since no one has thought it through, let's end this meeting here and continue tomorrow."

After these words were spoken, many people present at the meeting stood up and left the meeting room one after another.

Fang Hexuan did not move. He knew that Uncle Shao Liu still had something to say, so he was not in a hurry.

"Ah Xuan, come sit in my office. I have some good new tea. How about that?"

Fang Hexuan suddenly broke into a hearty smile:

"Okay, it's a rare treat from Uncle Six, I'm going to take advantage of it no matter what."

Fang Yihua could no longer hold back her expression, she said angrily:
"Ah Xuan, you really don't give Sixth Brother face."

Run Run Shaw laughed instead. He knew Fang Hexuan was teasing him, but he didn't care at all. He just shook his head helplessly and said:
"You really picked a good time!"

Fang Hexuan shrugged and pretended to be helpless.
"Uncle Six, in the past two years, not only have I not privately increased my holdings by even a single point, I have even sent a non-executive director. Isn't that enough to give you face?"

Run Run Shaw's expression relaxed. He listened to his words quietly, thought for a while, and then asked:
"Are you really that optimistic about TVB?"

Fang Hexuan nodded quickly and said:

"I don't care how much dividends and share appreciation TVB can bring me. What I value is its influence in the Chinese world."

Upon hearing this, Run Run Shaw smiled unconsciously and nodded imperceptibly, "I understand what you mean!"

The three of them walked all the way to the chairman's office. After entering, Fang Hexuan sat on the sofa, while Fang Yihua made tea with an unhappy look on her face.

Run Run Shaw did not return to his boss chair, but sat to the right of Fang Hexuan.

He brushed back his remaining hair with his hands, frowned and thought:
"How much do you want to increase this time?"

"Sixth Uncle, of course I want as many as possible, but it also depends on your wishes."

"What will you do if I disagree?"

"Haha, Uncle Six, if you were me, would you tell others so easily?"

Run Run Shaw also nodded in agreement, but continued:
"But I guess you have other options, right?"

"Why is Sixth Uncle so sure?"

"I have observed you for four years and I have discovered that you are usually willing to leave a way out for others, let alone yourself."

"Haha, Uncle Six, why don't we just become sworn brothers? I'll call you brother and you'll call me younger brother. We'll be one family, and TVB will be both yours and mine. We'll have the best of both worlds!"

Run Run Shaw and Mona Fong were so angry at Fang Hok Hin's shameless remarks that they were speechless.

"Asshole, Xuan, can you be serious?"

Fang Hexuan also knew when to stop, so he stopped laughing and answered Run Run Shaw's question seriously.

"Yes, Uncle Six really has a keen eye!"

Run Run Shaw nodded without saying anything, but his eyes showed clearly - go on!
"Uncle Six, starting next month, my computer company and car company will officially launch their first generation of new products. In order to squeeze into the global market, I have to speed up the layout of the media industry."

"If I cannot deepen my influence in TVB, I would rather set up a media group with a TV station as the main body."

"As you know, I have my own company in Silicon Valley, and I have made many friends in the American technology industry. From them, I learned that the United States is developing a technology to transmit television signals via satellites in space, namely 'satellite television'."

"This type of satellite TV is completely different from terrestrial cable TV. It has no geographical restrictions and can be received by the whole world. Moreover, the signal frequency band is wide enough and the transmitted signal is very clear, which completely surpasses the current TV picture quality."

"I plan to import this technology from the United States in the next two years and implement it in Asia first. By then, my satellite TV station will be able to cover the whole of Asia and even reach Turkey."

Fang Hexuan kept bragging and didn't notice the shocked expressions on Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua's faces at all.

When he finally finished speaking, Run Run Shaw quickly calmed down his emotions, but the shock in his heart could not be quickly eliminated.

"Ah Xuan, are all of what you said true?"

Fang Hexuan was deliberately stunned, and said somewhat unhappily:
"Of course it's true. Don't you believe in the American technology? How many years have passed since the world's first satellite was launched into space? Think about it."

Run Run Shaw really wanted to say he didn’t believe it, but even the Hong Kong people decades later could not change their habit of licking the white people, let alone him today?
"If I let you become the second largest shareholder of TVB, can you not start your own satellite TV? Let's work together to build TVB into a satellite TV station covering all of Asia?"
