章節 649: Chapter 649: A Good Change
"Pop!'
Xia Yu flipped through the last page, threw the folder down on the desk in disappointment, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes in contemplation.
'Xia Yu, isn't there a suitable acquisition target?'
Li Qian thoughtfully walked up behind Xia Yu and gave him a gentle massage on the temples, asking softly.
Xia Yu enjoyed it so much that he didn't even want to open his eyes. He sighed slightly and said, 'No, there is no headhunting company in Hong Kong or Southeast Asia that can help me. The hidden threshold of this industry is high, the workload is heavy, and it is destined to develop slowly.'
'This place has gathered almost all the headhunting companies in Asia, almost all of which are small and medium-sized, and there is a lack of reserves in the field of high-end and top talent. Moreover, even if some headhunting companies have set foot in this field, they are only limited to a few industries. They cannot do what the international Big Four headhunting companies can do, which is to cover at least half of the industries, and have the top 500 executives in the world in their talent pool.
'Even if I were to buy up all the headhunting companies on this document now, there would still be serious homogeneity and the levels would not be high enough, so it would still be useless.'
Xia Yu explained in such detail that Li Qian of course understood and also understood Xia Yu's worries.
Li Qian was silent for a long time, and comforted Xia Yu, 'Xia Yu, don't worry. I believe that as long as the management of the American parent company of Korn Ferry, which you placed large orders with last year and this year, is not a fool, they will definitely increase the capital investment in the Hong Kong branch, and things will get better later.'
'Haha, that's true,'
Xia Yu said with a smile.
Just as he was smiling, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and his laughter suddenly stopped.
Li Qian felt a little strange, and looked at Xia Yu, but she saw that her lover was deep in thought.
Li Qian was familiar with this expression of Xia Yu's, and she knew that every time he looked like this, it meant that he had an idea.
Li Qian didn't disturb him, and didn't even dare to massage him again. She stood lightly behind him and waited.
Xia Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Li Qian, who had been observing him, asked softly, 'Xia Yu, have you thought of anything?'
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, 'I've come up with a solution.'
'I just lack the talent pool from the previous few years. In another five or six years, the group's talent cultivation channels will bear fruit.'
'I also overlooked it for a while. Since I plan to acquire a headhunting company, I might as well do it once and for all and try to see if the world's four major headhunting companies will accept an acquisition or an equity investment. If they do, all my troubles will be over.'
Li Qian gave a sweet smile and said, 'It will definitely work. According to you, the headhunting industry is a new industry that has emerged in the past 10 to 20 years. Even the Big Four headhunting companies lack the capital to continue expanding, so it is impossible that all four companies will refuse capital injections, right?'
'Just like now, Korn Ferry only established a branch in Hong Kong last year, and the talent pool has not yet been fully stocked. As for the other three, they have not yet come to Hong Kong. Although there are reasons why the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian economies are not valued, they must also have limited funds and prefer to develop markets in developed countries.'
Xia Yu stroked Li Qian's jade hands, pleased with her analysis. Li Qian had indeed grown a lot since she had been by his side. Xia Yu gave a faint smile and said, 'What are the results? We'll just have to try it out. If it succeeds, we'll definitely make a profit!'
'I'll send someone to investigate first.'
After making the decision, Xia Yu immediately sent someone to collect information again. This time, the goal was clear: the four giants of the headhunting industry.
In addition to sending his own people to investigate, Xia Yu also sought business advice from Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs on the acquisition value of the four major headhunting companies and the possibility of acquiring them. The price was not expensive, just 200,000 US dollars.
From Xia Yu's consultation, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs could see the possibility of the next acquisition, so they were very interested.
However, even with the investigation of the two major investment banks, it would still take some time.
At that moment, Huang Xizhao reported to Xia Yu that there had been significant progress in the launch of Global TV.
As several major American TV giants had been competing for satellite launch rights in the past two years, the American International Satellite Corporation had increased its production capacity, believing that other major TV networks would also follow suit in the future.
Under these circumstances, the American International Satellite Corporation had already been manufacturing a communications satellite for an unidentified customer. After Global TV placed an order, the satellite was directly labelled with the name Global TV.
And since most of the communications satellite has already been manufactured, Intelsat has given a clear response, saying that it can fully complete the order from Global TV and launch the satellite within one and a half months.
Such a sudden development has completely disrupted the initial plan.
But this is a good thing, so Huang Xizhao immediately reported the good news to Xia Yu and also asked for some work.
In the Global TV building, in the chairman's office, Xia Yu and Huang Xizhao are sitting face to face.
'It's good that the TV station can be broadcasted on satellite sooner, but the main thing is to make the most of this benefit.'
'What's the progress of preparing for the international English channel, international Chinese channel and entertainment channel?'
Xia Yu first gave a positive attitude, and then asked in a deep voice.
He had previously assigned Huang Xizhao to do this work, and if Global TV had become a satellite TV station and the channels had not yet been set up, it would be a waste of time.
Huang Xizhao also knew the gravity of the situation and immediately said, 'Chairman, the channel staff is almost ready, and the focus is now on enriching the programmes. In one and a half months, I can't guarantee that all the programmes will be high-quality, but I am confident that they will at least be above average.'
'This is the preliminary programme list, please take a look.'
He had already prepared one and handed it to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled after reading it and nodded in affirmation, 'Not bad!'
Before Huang Xizhao could be happy, Xia Yu made a turn that made Huang Xizhao's heart hang in the balance again.
'However, the entertainment channel's program list is a bit thin. The most important thing is that this time the entertainment channel will go directly to the stars, facing the whole of Southeast Asia. The entertainment channel will have to take on the responsibility of attracting and developing new users even more. Although these programs of yours are good, they can only be good to a certain extent.'
Huang Xizhao frowned and pondered for a long time. Then he nodded and looked ashamed, 'Chairman, it was my poor consideration. I will go back and come up with a new programme, and try to make it the most classic.'
Xia Yu waved his hand and said, 'Let's talk about that later. Is Chen Shufen here? Ask her to come up.'
'Yes, I'll go get her now. Please wait a moment.'
After Huang Xizhao finished speaking, he immediately went downstairs to call Chen Shufen.
In a moment, Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen came together.
'Hello, Chairman!'
'Let's sit down and talk!'
'How is the brokerage company doing?'
After asking Chen Shufen to sit down, Xia Yu asked.
Chen Shufen immediately perked up, organised her thoughts, and reported faithfully: 'Chairman, although Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have both set up their own agencies, our Global Talent Agency is the biggest and most professional. According to previous statistics, in the artist agency industry, our company occupies 80% of the market, and the remaining 20% is not occupied because Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest use despicable tactics and strictly prohibit their artists from having contact with us.'
'However, although Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have been imitating us, they are limited by the overall strength of the group and are unable to tap the commercial value of their artists.'
'Currently, the company has six S-level contract artists, 29 A-level contract artists, and 82 B-level contract artists... Among them, in the field of film and television...'
'The signed singers release their records through another Universal Music Group company under the TV station...'
Xia Yu was well aware of the company Universal Music Group.
In the previous life, Universal Music was very famous, but in the present life, Universal Music has not yet been established.
In the previous life, Universal Music was a music department of Universal Pictures, and it was not until 1998 that it merged with PolyGram Records to form Universal Music.
That is why it was now successfully registered by Huang Xizhao and put under the banner of Universal Television.
According to Chen Shufen, at this time, the Chinese music market in Hong Kong was dominated by PolyGram Records, which occupied the top six floors. In second place was Shaw Brothers Music, and the newly established Universal Music Company ranked third with a narrow lead, occupying 1.5 floors of the market.
This result was still due to the fact that Huang Zhan, one of the four geniuses who was good at composing, had originally signed an economic contract with Universal Brokerage Company, and he also poached Gu Jiahui from TVB.
With these two great gods, Universal Music Company has developed by leaps and bounds.
With the two great gods of Hui and Huang at hand, the small gap with Shaw's music company can be closed in an instant, and an assault launched on the hegemony of PolyGram.
'Very good, you really didn't disappoint me!'
'I called you over this time because it involves a major project related to the TV station. If it is done well, Universal TV will become famous in Asia, and Universal Music Company will easily surpass Shaw's music company.'
As Xia Yu finished speaking, Huang Xizhao and Chen Shufen's eyes lit up.
The chairman's ideas never failed to impress! Every time, they achieved unparalleled and astonishing results!
