"Our boss, you've all heard of him, it's the stock god, Xia Yu!"
Huang Xizhao's heart was racing, and he shouted with full confidence. After finishing, he grinned and looked at Zhong Jinhui and the others with anticipation.
"What? The stock god is our boss?"
With a stunned "Wow," Zhong Jinhui stood up immediately, his eyes fixed on Huang Xizhao, trying to discern if he was joking.
"Old Huang, you're not lying to us? The stock god is really our boss?"
"Yes, Old Huang, don't joke around with me!"
Xiao Ruoyuan, Mai Danxiong, and the others eagerly asked. Though extremely excited, they feared that Huang Xizhao might be playing a prank.
Seeing their reaction, Huang Xizhao beamed and nodded firmly, speaking with conviction, "It's absolutely true. Why would I lie to you? The boss will come by this morning. We'll know for sure then."
"Great, hahaha!"
"Fantastic, the stock god is our boss! We're finally going to turn things around!"
"Jia Shi is over. I was worried we'd be targeted crazily by Wireless, but now with the stock god backing us, we could crush Wireless with our money!"
"Let's see if Shao Lao Liu can still be so arrogant. Heh!"
With Huang Xizhao's confirmation, everyone could no longer contain their excitement. Some laughed loudly, others spoke incoherently with excitement. It seemed like all the pent-up frustration of the past years was being released at this moment.
The future felt so bright!
They had endured a lot over the years. Ultimately, the problem was that they lacked a strong backing. Despite working hard to increase viewership and make money, they were continually drained by the parent company while Jia Shi and Wireless kept investing. The pressure was immense.
Moreover, the heads of Li's TV station, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui, came from Wireless, along with some high-level staff.
Jia Shi was full of talent, meaning they had no way out. If Li's failed, they would lose their jobs, putting even more pressure on them than on others.
Now, things were finally looking up. The clouds had parted to reveal the moon.
Everyone knew about the stock god's impressive moves and power. With Xia Yu as the boss, the first thing was that Wireless would definitely not dare to play dirty tricks anymore, only engaging in a straightforward confrontation.
Li's, despite having no money, had managed to fight Wireless fiercely before. Now, with the stock god's financial backing, they had money and influence. Would they still fear Wireless?
Huang Xizhao sat at the head of the table, smiling as he watched everyone celebrate. He once again felt grateful that Xia Yu had become their boss.
"Clap! Clap!"
"Everyone, quiet down!"
After a while, seeing that the excitement had calmed down, Huang Xizhao clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. The crowd settled back into their seats, all eyes on Huang Xizhao, eager to hear what he had to say from the boss.
"The boss has just issued a command. We need to quickly set up and hold a press conference this morning to announce the news. He will personally attend. Everyone must not let him down!"
Huang Xizhao said with a serious expression.
Everyone immediately nodded, their faces very serious.
Knowing the boss was coming, and without needing Huang Xizhao's reminder, everyone would pay close attention. After all, this was the boss's first visit, and to secure their future, they had to leave a good first impression.
"Also, the previous arrangements to recruit people have been in progress for a while. It's time to take action. You should arrange for them to notify the targets to watch our program at eleven o'clock. Our press conference will be broadcast live in full. Once they know our boss is the stock god, many will definitely have their doubts cleared. We must seize this excellent opportunity!"
Huang Xizhao ordered again.
"Okay! I'll arrange it immediately!"
"If they knew the stock god was the boss, I don't think anyone would refuse!" The others responded promptly, their faces showing hopeful and relaxed smiles.
At the same time, they told themselves to find more people. Since this recruitment order came from the boss, he would surely pay attention. The more people recruited, the more prominent they would become.
This would be a demonstration of their abilities! A strong guarantee for making a good impression in front of the boss!
"The time is tight, so I hope everyone works hard!"
"I declare the meeting adjourned!"
With Huang Xizhao's declaration, everyone stood up and quickly walked outside, their steps quickening.
Watching their reaction, Huang Xizhao was beaming, full of anticipation for the future.
"I also need to go prepare for the press conference. Some people need to be notified as well. We must make sure to recruit them!"
Huang Xizhao murmured to himself, a hint of determination in his eyes, his fists clenching unconsciously.
Having decided, he stood up and quickly left the meeting room.
Soon, Li's TV station's staff began calling all the media, inviting them to enter by 10:30 a.m. and to attend the press conference at 11:00 a.m. sharp.
Once this news came out, the media, already unsettled by Jia Shi's announcement of the shutdown, became even more agitated.
At this crucial moment, Li's TV station, which had been keeping a low profile, suddenly announced a press conference. What was this all about?
Especially right after Jia Shi's shutdown announcement, they immediately took action. This conveyed an unusual vibe, and observant people speculated that this was definitely something significant, but they were unsure if it would be as big as Jia Shi's downfall.
The best way to find out was to go see for themselves.
Thus, the major media outlets that received the invitations immediately mobilized, aiming to arrive early to secure good positions.
Throughout the morning, two of the three major TV stations in Xiangjiang had major events planned, leaving only Wireless TV silent.
But at this time, how could Wireless TV possibly remain passive?
With Jia Shi's shutdown, the dynamics of the TV industry would shift. The viewership share previously held by Jia Shi would be taken by Wireless and Li's, depending on their capabilities.
Under normal circumstances, Li's would not be a match for Wireless, and Wireless would likely eat up most of the viewership share that originally belonged to Jia Shi.
How to secure as much viewership share as possible needed careful planning.
Therefore, Wireless TV's board of directors immediately called a board meeting.
Li Xiaohé, holding the most shares, was the chairman of the board. The other two founders of Wireless TV, Qi Dezun and Shao Yifu, were board directors. Qi Dezun had less energy to manage affairs and served as an honorary director.
Shao Yifu, however, was the effective second-in-command and concurrently held the position of administrative chairman, with major responsibilities including appointing and removing managers, executing board resolutions, overseeing daily operations, and signing contracts or handling business on behalf of the company as authorized by the board.
Due to Li Xiaohé's health issues over the years, he rarely left the Li family home. Most of the main affairs were managed by his wife, Li Luyan. Whenever Wireless TV held meetings, Li Luyan often presided over them.
Li Luyan focused more on real estate and industrial sectors, finding it difficult to manage the volatile media industry. Therefore, in recent years, she gradually delegated authority to Shao Yifu, contemplating retirement and leaving the TV station to Shao Yifu's capable management.
In addition to these three founding directors, Wireless TV's board also included two prominent figures from Xiangjiang, making the board a five-person team.
As Wireless TV urgently convened its board meeting, news of Li's TV station holding a press conference spread widely, with many inside and outside the industry becoming aware.
The wind was stirring!
