Chapter 308 Investing in Tianguang TV Station
“Su Dingbo, founder and chairman of Tianguang Entertainment Company, film and television producer, entertainment tycoon, philanthropist…
"When the entertainment industry entered a barbaric era, Su Dingbo relied on his daring spirit to found Tianguang Entertainment. In the following decades, he faced off against Shinhwa Group and Nathan Group to form a three-legged structure. He himself also had a close relationship with Shinhwa's Lin Zhaomu , and Nathan's Yin Tianhou are both regarded as Taishan Beidou in the Qinzhou entertainment industry.
“Having been in business for many years.
“Su Dingbo donated a total of 70.65 billion yuan through cooperation with the government for the construction of educational facilities.
"In addition, he directly or indirectly participated in the investment and filming of more than 10,000 film and television dramas during his lifetime. His company Tianguang Entertainment once dominated the development of the film and television drama industry in Qinzhou. Over the years, Tianguang Entertainment has trained more than 30 top-tier talents. Superstar!
“Ten years ago.
“Qinzhou officials named the 4322 planets discovered [Su Dingbo stars] in recognition of their contributions to charity.
“January 10th this year.
“Su Dingbo passed away peacefully in the hospital, surrounded by his family, at the age of 92…”
Shinhwa TV.
Nathan TV.
Tianguang TV.
Even the official TV station of Qinzhou.
At the moment, all the news is about Su Dingbo’s death.
Su Dingbo’s black and white photos frequently appear on television.
The death of the chairman of Tianguang Entertainment not only had a terrifying impact on the entertainment industry, but also shocked countless ordinary people.
And in the report.
Although Shinhwa and Nathan are Su Dingbo's competitors, the news only showed respect and praise for the entertainment tycoon, and even the official expressed deep condolences in public speeches.
This is not superficial.
In fact, everyone in the entire entertainment industry is feeling a little heavy today. There are many big-shot figures in this circle who have all been indebted to Su Dingbo.
“Well done, sir!”
“The old generation is beginning to come to an end.”
“Although Su Dingbo is an entertainment tycoon, he is also praised as a philanthropist. In his early years, he also founded actor training classes and so on. Many old stars in the circle were trained by him during the barbaric period.”
“Where will Tianguang Entertainment go from here?”
“Will the pattern of the three major companies change from this moment on?”
“Even in the hospital bed, Su Dingbo has always controlled Tianguang’s decision-making. After he leaves, I really don’t know what will happen to the three major universities in the future.”
“Presumably Lin Zhaomu and Yin Tianhou now feel the same.”
“After all, they have been old rivals for so many years, but in a sense, they are also friends, because it is these three old people who have ruled the Qinzhou entertainment industry in these years.”
“I don’t know how Tianguang’s industry will be distributed.”
“Su Dingbo has many children and grandchildren, and the specific industrial distribution should be announced soon.”
…
Xicheng Manor.
Lin Zhaomu was silent in the study for a long time, and then he softly said: "I feel really lonely now that Lao Su is gone. Others know that we are old rivals who have been fighting for many years, but they don't know that he and I have a close personal relationship. We have been friends for many years." We have all been in contact with each other, and we have even discussed getting married. When will the funeral start?"
"the day after tomorrow."
“I will go and worship when the time comes.”
"yes."
“Secretary Jin, how long do you think I have left?”
“You will definitely live a long life.”
“I don’t expect to live a long life. I only hope to see an outstanding successor standing in front of me in the last few years.”
“You have plenty of time…”
“I know my own situation well, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a will last year.”
Secretary Jin was silent.
Lin Zhaomu said: "I want to drink."
Secretary Jin shook his head: "You can't drink."
Lin Zhaomu smiled, but his smile was a little lonely.
…
“I need Kunpeng’s help.”
Su Chan contacted Jiang Cheng in the afternoon. Her eyes were swollen and she obviously cried a lot today.
Grandpa and Su Chan had a deep relationship, and her death was a big blow to her.
However, those in the family will not give Su Chan too much time to grieve, and she must prepare for some things in advance.
That night.
A private club.
Jiang Cheng and Su Chan met.
What Su Chan didn't expect was that Lin Zhibai also came.
“Sorrow.”
Lin Zhibai said.
Lin Zhibai was also shocked to learn the news of Su Dingbo's death. As the third generation of the Lin family, he had seen the old man more than once when he was a child.
But business is business.
Su Dingbo’s death was an opportunity for Shinhwa, Nathan, and Kunpeng to take advantage of it.
Because the Su family is definitely going to be in trouble for a while over the family property.
Su Chan took a deep breath, and then said: "According to my grandfather's will, my father received a part of the company's shares, and I also received some properties, including 15% of the shares of Tianguang TV..." "Your old man is not bad to you. .”
Lin Zhibai asked: "So what is your plan?"
Su Chan said: "I want Tianguang TV. The shares of Tianguang TV are very dispersed. There are currently several directors who are willing to sell, but I don't have that much money..."
Jiang Cheng was thoughtful, "You want to borrow money?"
Su Chan said: "It would be best if Kunpeng is willing."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "I need to ask for permission on this matter, but don't have high expectations. With the size of Tianguang TV, the valuation is at least 300 billion, and Kunpeng can't get much out of it."
“Change your thinking.”
Lin Zhibai suddenly said: "Can Kunpeng buy a stake in Tianguang TV? Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of taking advantage of the situation. It is almost impossible for you to buy Tianguang TV worth more than 300 billion by yourself, even if you have some share base. Unless your father supports you, if your father doesn’t want to take risks, then you can consider letting Kunpeng become a shareholder. We are still allies, and our cooperation will become stronger.”
Lin Zhibai was not sure what the old man was thinking.
Now that Shinhwa TV is in the hands of San Bo, San Bo may also take away the shares in the future.
If Lin Zhibai buys shares in Tianguang TV Station, he can use Tianguang TV Station to start a war with Sanbo in the future.
“Can you decide?”
Su Chan stared at Lin Zhibai. She was talking to Jiang Cheng today, but the other party came together, which made her smell something different.
“I can fight for it.”
Lin Zhibai glanced at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng nodded, "He has higher authority in Kunpeng than me..."
Su Chan took a deep look at Lin Zhibai and asked, "How many shares do you have in Kunpeng?"
Lin Zhibai smiled and said vaguely: "Quite a lot."
Su Chan nodded, "Then I'll contact other shareholders to find out. Lin Zhibai, your family has a group of uncles who are eyeing you. My family is actually the same, but my situation should be better than yours."
“Well, there’s one more thing.”
Lin Zhibai said: "How many theaters in Tianguang can you control?"
Su Chan was stunned for a moment, "Are you interested in theaters? Kunpeng wants to make a movie?"
Lin Zhibai nodded.
Uncle controls the film industry of Shinhwa, including theater chains.
Lin Zhibai couldn't get involved, so he had to start a new one. Otherwise, how could he fight against his uncle?
But making a movie requires dealing with theater chains, so Lin Zhibai could only find a solution from Su Chan's side.
“Tianguang’s theater chain, although not as good as Shinhwa, is still among the top three in the industry in terms of size. Kunpeng will definitely not be able to eat it. Even if he can eat it, my uncle will not let it go.”
“In the hands of your uncle?”
"Well, most of the film industry was inherited by my third uncle, but my relationship with him is okay. Although I can't let you in, if Kunpeng really has a movie released in the future, I can help negotiate with him and let him try his best. Arrange more films."
"Fine."
Lin Zhibai is somewhat regretful, but it is also true that he cannot afford to support the theater chain now, and Kunpeng has not developed to that point yet.
Let’s first think about how to get into Tianguang TV.
Lin Zhibai feels that it will not be difficult to succeed. One is that Su Chan is taking the lead, and the other is that Kunpeng has a signature TV series and variety show!
Kunpeng joining Tianguang TV is also a good thing for Tianguang TV.
Su Chan said: "I will help Kunpeng when it comes to theaters, but I have to be cautious about TV stations. Kunpeng won't try to turn his back on customers, right? I'm sorry. I'm in a bad mood today, and I don't want to beat around the bush. I need Kunpeng's guarantee. As long as I don’t infringe on Kunpeng’s business interests, Kunpeng can only support me to become the chairman of Tianguang in the future, and we need to sign the contract for some specific terms.”
"certainly."
Su Chan was afraid of attracting wolves into the house and would have an equity dispute with Kunpeng in the future.
However, it is enough for Lin Zhibai to buy shares in Tianguang TV and try to get as many shares as possible, but he really doesn't think about directly annexing and acquiring them in the future.
Unless Su Chan is willing to sell it.
Just like Liyu Live Broadcast, Kunpeng held a very high shareholding, but Lin Zhibai never thought about annexing it directly. Being a major shareholder was just fine, and wouldn’t it be nice to just make money every year, so he agreed simply.
Su Chan stared at Lin Zhibai, "So you have the right to decide?"
Lin Zhibai said calmly: "That's right. You don't have to test me. At least I can represent Kunpeng today."
"good."
Su Chan didn’t say anything more.
Today Lin Zhibai has given her a clear signal.
That is to say, Lin Zhibai has certain decision-making power on Kunpeng's major events, which made her think a little.
Perhaps…
There is more than one boss behind Kunpeng?
As for Lin Zhibai, maybe he is one of Kunpeng's bosses, or a partner?
Just like that, one day later, Lin Zhibai, as a junior, went to the Su family to pay homage to Su Dingbo.
His trip did not attract much attention.
Because almost all the top people in the entertainment industry are here.
Even Lin Zhibai’s grandfather Lin Zhaomu and Nathan Group’s chairman Yin Tianhou also came to pay their respects.
After the memorial ceremony.
Lin Zhibai and Jiang Cheng met again.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "Tianguang TV is willing to let us take a stake, but the specific conditions are still under negotiation. There should be a period of tug-of-war, but now there is a very troublesome problem, that is, we don't have that much money to enter the game."
“Look for a bank loan.”
Lin Zhibai said: "Let's get the shares first."
I estimate that there are many people interested in Tianguang TV. My Kunpeng is definitely not the richest party.
But Kunpeng has Kunpeng’s advantages—
Perhaps he will become a shareholder of Tianguang TV Station soon.
