Chapter 622 [Communication Satellite! 】
Recalling old things,
Wu Guangyao said: "Although wireless stations dominate Hong Kong Island, they have no influence overseas!"
The senior executives know that this boss has to spend a lot of money again!
Only Selina Leung, who had just become a senior executive, didn’t know, so she said, “Don’t worry about the boss, we still have a lot of potential to tap! With the development of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, Hong Kong stars are in Macau, Taiwan Island, Southeast Asia and other places. To build a certain fan base; and the programs and TV series produced are also beginning to be introduced by the TV stations in these places; according to this development, we will sell more copyrights in the future, and the TV stations will have a large amount of income. ."
Although Selina Leung understood what Wu Guangyao meant by mistake, Wu Guangyao was still quite satisfied with the blood of this new generation of executives!
"Since you are talking about Hong Kong entertainment and Hong Kong stars, I think we can really discuss Hong Kong entertainment as a culture and try to export it to the outside world, just like Hollywood in the United States. So, you pay more attention to overseas development, yes Very necessary!"
Li Dehong, Wu Wenhuai and others quickly agreed and expressed their efforts!
In the past life, regarding cultural output, Wu Guangyao had the most profound influence on the cultural output of Korea and Hong Kong;
Especially the cultural export of South Korea, if it is not for the upper limit of the Korean order, it is really not a phenomenon, to what extent will it harm the Chinese.
Cultures such as niang artillery, plastic surgery, rice circle, etc. are all representative of Korean culture;
But the young people in the country eat this set very much and get stuck in it!
Compared with Korean culture, Hong Kong entertainment is more positive, and many stars can maintain their original intentions for a long time;
In this regard, mainland stars are far inferior!
Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Although cultural output can have certain economic benefits, it will not change the fact that TVB is only a local TV station. Therefore, the launch of communication satellites needs to be on the agenda; more importantly, the Eastern News Agency must also It has its own satellite communications, otherwise the news will always be slow."
Yang Kang said with a headache: "Communication satellites can indeed bring the entire Eastern Media Group to the next level, but the price is really expensive; it is estimated that it will take two years of profit from the group to launch a communications satellite! Moreover, the TVB station is already on the market. I am afraid that shareholders will not consider the interests of the entire Oriental Media Group!"
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Then launch in the name of Oriental News Agency, I can personally fund it; in the future, the TVB will pay the rent every year, saving trouble!"
Listed companies of Oriental Media Group include: TVB, Oriental Pictures, Sing Tao News
The reason why these three companies went public was to appease the partners and the management team. Otherwise, Wu Guangyao was really unwilling to go public.
Everyone heard the words and could no longer find a reason to persuade!
In fact, Wu Guangyao most values the Eastern News Agency;
This company is like the eyes of the Wu family, who can know current events around the world for the first time;
The news will be sorted by a professional team. News that is useful to Wu Guangyao will also be analyzed and filtered by the team, and then summarized.
Selina Leung was dumbfounded when she heard that a 3 billion Hong Kong dollar satellite was about to be launched!
"No TV station in Asia has satellite yet?"
Listening to Selina Leung’s words, Wu Guangyao said proudly: “Then we will be the first TV station in Asia to have satellites. Just as before, we are also the first news agency in Asia.”
It seems that launching a satellite will cost a lot of money, and Wu Guangyao is confident that he will use this satellite to earn it back soon;
One satellite can transmit more than 100 channels of TV signals at the same time. Similar to the TV network in the United States, a consortium has dozens of different TV channels and a larger number of broadcast channels, and one satellite may be just enough;
There are still many satellites in Europe and the United States that rely on leased channel signals to accelerate cost recovery. Oriental Media Group may also consider this approach.
Moreover, once the satellite is above the sky, TVB can cover the entire Southeast Asia;
At that time, the audience will not only be 5 million people, but may even reach 50 million people;
A larger audience base means an increase in advertising costs.
Southeast Asia in the 1980s was the era of the most rapid economic development. The main audience for future TV stations of Wireless will be Asian Chinese; because you are overseas, you can only watch local TV stations. Once you have satellite TV, you can see Chinese programs, Biran will be very pleasantly surprised.
These groups are rich, large in number, and highly dependent, which are the foundation necessary for the development of a TV station.
In his previous life, in 1991, Li Jiacheng’s youngest son Li Zekai founded Phoenix Television;
This is also a satellite TV. It has signed advertising agreements with many international giants in the two years since its establishment;
In just one year, it sold 400 million US dollars of advertising.
However, because of the high cost of satellites to the sky, Li Zekai did not launch satellites, but leased a satellite channel.
After operating for two years, he sold the entire TV station to the media tycoon Murdoch for a net profit of US$800 million.
These data suffice to explain that in the entire Southeast Asia region, countless Chinese have an extremely large market.
Of course, this is the 90s, and it is still ten years ago. There will be a lot of gaps, but the market is the same.
After the matter was settled, Wu Guangyao instructed Yang Kang to organize manpower to consult and investigate the specific process of launching commercial satellites.
Year ago, Wu Guangyao was very busy, and Wu Guangyao needed to personally participate in the summary of each group company.
Universal Group:
Global Shipping has now successfully landed ashore. At present, it has 5 million tons of cargo ships (bulk ships + containers) and 3 million tons of oil tankers (both 200,000 tons); the important thing is that there is no shipping debt, which is enough for Global Shipping to survive the cold. In winter, maintain a small amount of profit.
Global Terminal now has 52 ports worldwide, with gross profit of US$2.2 billion and net profit of US$800 million. Currently, Global Terminal is upgrading its terminal facilities and requires a large amount of capital each year.
As for Hong Kong Island Airlines, it currently has 36 Boeing passenger planes and 3 passenger planes are being produced at the Boeing factory. After so many years of hard work, the aviation industry has finally begun to explode. The annual gross profit can reach 150 million U.S. dollars and the net profit can reach 80 million U.S. dollars; this data is also The continuous increase is equivalent to just breaking out!
To sum up, Global Group still brings a dividend of 1 billion US dollars to shareholders, which makes HSBC, which has received 220 million US dollars, smiled!
Wu Guangyao was so red that HSBC was allocated so many US dollars, and he began to blatantly buy HSBC shares in recent years;
Although he cannot enter the core management, Wu Guangyao knows that buying HSBC shares is more cost-effective than depositing bank interest!
