Chapter 712 What is Pricing Power?(1/2)
The moment the two appeared, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Changzhi's eyes. He looked at Wang Weiji without leaving any trace, and then quickly stood up.
He knew these two people. The one on the left was the boss of Dingxin Media and the founder of Zhongxin Electronics, Zhang Jianjun.
Also the second boss.
He also knew another man with a kind face and a suit and tie.
This is Wan Yongliang, the president of Yuanxin's marketing department. He came to HK a month ago to assist and participate in Yuanxin's comprehensive acquisition of Lin's shares.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wan, welcome to Asia Television for inspection."
Liu Changzhi strode towards the two of them, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Jianjun halfway.
As Liu Changzhi stood up, the rest of the people stood up one after another, and smiles rose on their faces at the same time.
Especially Chen Shanqiang, he smiled extremely happily.
"It's okay, please sit down." After Wan Yongliang shook hands with Liu Changzhi, Zhang Jianjun pressed his hands with a smile: "Sit down first, sit down before talking."
After saying that, he made an invitation to Liu Changzhi, and then walked to the last seat of the desk with Wan Yongliang.
"Mr. Wan, please." Zhang Jianjun led Wan Yongliang to a position facing Liu Changzhi.
Wan Yongliang didn't pick on the courtesy, so he sat down just laughing.
"I'll give you an official introduction. This is Mr. Wan Yongliang and Wan, and the president of the marketing department of Yuanxin Technology."
Liu Changzhi's pupils shrank again, but he still took the lead in praising his applause.
"Thank you, thank you, everyone, stop first." Wan Yongliang fisted, then reached out and pressed down, and then coughed gently.
With his throat cleared, the conference room quieted again.
"I came here this time mainly on behalf of Yuanxin and ATV Holdings."
Wan Yongliang paused as he said, looking around the audience.
Zhang Jianjun also sat down next to him and looked at Chen Shanqiang opposite him with a smile.
Wan Yongliang continued: "As of today, it has just been two months since Yuanxin and Dingxin Media reorganized the board of directors of ATV Holdings. In the past two months, everyone has suffered."
Everyone looked back at Wan Yongliang with a smile.
"But no matter how hard it is, the work still needs to be done. It's a bit regrettable. According to feedback from all aspects, ATV has not done a good job in the past two months."
With Wan Yongliang's words, everyone's expressions suddenly changed!
Liu Changzhi even looked at Wang Weiji several times one after another.
"ATV is Yuanxin's key investment project in HK, and it is also related to Yuanxin's far-reaching layout in the field of home audio and video entertainment. Frankly speaking, it should not continue to develop in its current way."
After hearing this, Liu Changzhi finally couldn't help it.
As a member of the board of directors and as the directly responsible general manager - CEO, or the director, he must maintain ATV's reputation and dignity even when facing major shareholders.
This is related to his professional reputation.
But maintenance... does not mean confrontation.
After a little thought, Liu Changzhi quickly laughed: "Mr. Wan, it's an honor for ATV to be included in the strategic layout by Yuanxin. But ATV is a TV station with a history of 50 years. Whether it is business or business, transformation needs to be done slowly and cannot be rushed. And..."
Wan Yongliang had already put away his smile and changed into a serious and steady expression. Hearing this, he suddenly smiled and said, "And what?"
Liu Changzhi pursed his lips, and a sense of inexplicable crisis suddenly arose - although he was sitting in the main seat, as Wan Yongliang sat opposite him and Zhang Jianjun, the second boss, sat aside, Wan Yongliang's position suddenly became the main seat!
Thinking of Yuanxin's failure to take measures against ATV before, it just reorganized the board of directors regularly - it was still one of the board members, but today it suddenly arrived at the same time with the representatives of the two major shareholders...
This seems to be not as simple as finding faults and shaking the breeze!
At this time, Wang Weiji, the vice president of the Executive, saw that Liu Changzhi's face was wrong, and seemed to be suppressed by Wan Yongliang's words. After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly laughed: "Mr. Wan, although the HK Radio and Television Regulations stipulate that in order to ensure the independence of the media, shareholders cannot interfere with the operation of the TV station. But we are still actively cooperating with the shareholders' requirements out of respect for shareholders and seeking development and reform directions. But... we also hope that Mr. Wan and Mr. Zhang can give us some time."
Even if Wang Weiji's words are not hidden in the cotton, they still remind these two "crossing river dragons" - shareholders directly interfere with the operation of the TV station, which is a taboo in HK.
For Yuanxin, my group of people even did not hesitate to make this taboo, just to give shareholders face and consider shareholders.
After saying this, Wang Weiji silently stopped talking, but just looked at Wan Yongliang with a smile - as long as this Vice President Wan is not a fool, he will naturally understand what he said.
Of course, Wang Weiji also made plans. If these two shareholders are here to show off their power today, then the people in this room will endure it.
Who makes others the boss?
...
After Wang Weiji's words, Liu Changzhi also laughed and said repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Wan, we have been making plans and looking for ideas."
"Well said it." Wan Yongliang nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
It seems that these people really want to take Yuanxin?
"But it's very regretful." Wan Yongliang smiled slightly and said the word "regret" again.
"No matter how long ATV has, in Yuanxin's eyes, its history is only two months." Wan Yongliang's fingers crossed and he said slowly.
"I repeat again. Yuanxin and Dingxin acquired ATV for the 21st century and were truly aimed at the Chinese-speaking regions in Asia and the world. Instead of... I bought it this year with a billion yuan, and sold it in two years with a total of 2 billion yuan. If I want to simply make money, wouldn't it be better to invest in an Internet company with this billion yuan?"
Liu Changzhi opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but could not say anything.
The cash out of stocks exceeds 5 billion US dollars, which is indeed a good investment in Internet companies.
Wan Yongliang's eyes swept across everyone: "So, the board of directors believes that ATV's current leadership has problems in its capabilities and functions and cannot bear the expectations of Yuanxin and Dingxin."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Liu Changzhi was even more shocked and his eyes widened - this... this person turned against him like this?
Wang Wiki was also a little confused by Wan Yongliang's sudden turn against each other.
What does Yuanxin want to do? Want to take down ATV executives in one fell swoop?
"Now I will announce the board resolution." Zhang Jianjun looked very furious, and he opened the documents at the right time and stood up.
"According to the decision of the ATV Holdings Board, Mr. Wan Yongliang, senior president of Yuanxin Holdings Group, will serve as the chairman of ATV Holdings and the CEO of ATV. Mr. Liu Changzhi, former general manager, will be removed from his post and retain the board of directors."
"Former Deputy General Manager of Marketing Department Chen Shanqiang served as the president of ATV."
"The former deputy general manager of administrative, Wang Weiji, was removed from his post, and the former director of the administrative department, Qiu Yue, will serve as the president of administration and finance."
"Le Yuling, former deputy general manager of the film and television production department, serves as the new president of the media department."
"Original……"
As Zhang Jianjun read about the job adjustment, everyone was stunned.
"I am a member of the board of directors, why didn't I know that the board of directors was held!" Liu Changzhi's face turned red, he glared at Zhang Jianjun, his whole body trembled slightly. He stood up and pointed at Zhang Jianjun angrily: "You are trampling on the company law wantonly! They are still trampling on the radio and television regulations! You..."
Liu Changzhi almost came back in one breath.
He also drank with Zhang Jianjun and had dinner with Wan Yongliang - these two people were not saying that at the time!
"Whether you attend or not, it will not affect the voting right." Wan Yongliang looked at Liu Changzhi, replied lightly, and then looked at Zhang Jianjun: "Old Zhang, have you finished reading?"
"It's over."
"Then it's time for me to say." Wan Yongliang frowned, stared at Liu Changzhi, and said word by word: "We have given you two months to make plans and welcome the future. And what about you? You have not come up with an effective solution so far - if you are my subordinates under Yuanxin, let alone two months, even if there is no progress in two days, I will let him get out."
"Also, don't use the radio and television regulations to suppress me. I just came from the radio and television management center and got the star approval document."
"In addition, I have brought three mainland TV series and the first to sign script contracts for eleven potential mainland actors."
"I also brought two TV series scripts, formulated plans for three variety shows, and agreed on the key to entering the mainland market after being launched."
"And what about you?" Wan Yongliang's eyes swept across everyone: "Besides hiding in groups and excluding dissidents, what have you done in the past two months?"
After saying this, Wan Yongliang took a deep breath and looked out the door: "Next, I will make an overall deployment and adjustment to ATV's work this year and the intelligence of relevant departments. Please leave if anyone who is not important."
"In addition, anyone who does not obeys work arrangements can leave immediately."
After saying that, Wan Yongliang glanced at Chen Shanqiang. The latter understood and immediately stood up and walked to Liu Changzhi and Wang Weiji.
Chen Shanqiang looked calm.
"People two, please avoid it."

Far core.
Su Yuanshan and Wang Chuanfu, who had arrived in the dust, sat in the office drinking tea and chatting.
Just the day after Wan Yongliang took over ATV, almost all newspapers, magazines and other TV stations reported the matter with the most conspicuous news.
Naturally, this kind of violation of the radio and television management regulations cannot escape the Hong Kong government. Almost on the day the news was released, the Hong Kong government summoned the management of ATV Holdings to have tea, and issued a fine of 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
...
"Two million is OK, as long as it is not two million a day."
Su Yuanshan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said happily: "If it's two million a day, I can't stand it. I just called the Hong Kong government to buy ATV for fun."
"Haha! The Hong Kong government always has to pretend to behave! However, Mr. Shan, I feel that this matter is still a bit too high-profile." Wang Chuanfucai came from the Special Administrative Region to understand the feedback from the public better than Su Yuanshan.
Whether it is a conversation or a fine, the Hong Kong government is just a slight idea to Yuanxin, just a gesture - Yuanxin has done so many things for HK in the past few months, so the people can turn their heads and forget it, but the Hong Kong government dare not forget it.
