" President Qiao, I am Wu Tiangang, the temporary general manager of Jiayi TV Station. I'm sorry, but I'm not too sure about the TV station's loan matters. It's handled by the head of the board of directors, so "
"President Wu, to be honest, when I saw this mortgage, I knew that there was a problem on your side. I don't really care who the mortgage is. I just want to know how you want to deal with it.”
"We hope that your bank can give us some time. We will think of a way to pay back the money.”
"President Wu, I think you should know very well that Jiayi is currently in a state of bankruptcy. If we can't solve this problem now, who knows if another debt collector will appear?”
"But we don't have that much money at all.”
"How about this? My suggestion is that the television station belongs to our bank. After that, you can raise another 100 million Hong Kong dollars to us and we'll write it off. We'll just take it as bad luck that we lost 240 million.”
"This doesn't seem right, right? If your bank is going to forcibly confiscate it, why do we still have to pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars?”
"Of course I understand, but this is a contract fraud. We have the right to pursue your responsibility. I think you know the consequences!”
This was similar to Joly's situation back then. If the debt was huge, some people would have to go to jail to pay for their crimes. Otherwise, they would just file for bankruptcy and be done with it. Then, more people would play with the wheel.
"But this shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?”
"The key is that you can't find your boss? Can you find it? Someone will take responsibility for this matter. It's impossible to let it go so easily. When the time comes, it won't be a matter of whether I agree or not.”
"Sigh! Alright, then how do you want to deal with our television station?”
"It's very simple. Regroup directly. Those who are capable will stay, and those who are just making a living will be chased away.”
This conversation was very short. Joly had clearly expressed his intentions. It would depend on what they thought. If they didn't want to stay in prison for a few years, they had better take out some money. Joly wasn't a black-hearted person. He didn't put all the debts on their heads.
When Wu Tiangang returned to Jiayi, he immediately called for a high-level meeting. A group of leaders sat together, and all of them were silent. No one wanted to say anything. After all, everyone wanted to make money, so they were naturally unwilling to take the money themselves.
Wu Tiangang could only say,""It's not like you guys don't know about the television station's current situation. It's basically impossible to turn things around. If we don't pay this debt now, we'll have to go in together.”
As the second-in-command, Wang He said bitterly,"The problem is that the money hasn't reached our hands yet. We're just employees. It's impossible for us to take out so much money at once.”
Wang He might have sounded pitiful, but in reality, these people had all received some benefits. Otherwise, how could the television station have gone so smoothly after being pledged? It was only because they had received some benefits that they did not stop them.
The production director, Chen Fei, also said,"Yes, yes, they want too much. 100 million, how is that possible? Ten million is more like it."
Looking coldly at the shameless faces of these people, Wu Tiangang sneered in his heart. He spoke in a dignified manner, but in reality, none of them were good people. It was just that this was the current situation. Everyone was a grasshopper on the same rope, and no one could escape.
With someone taking the lead, the crowd below began to get lively. Everyone was exchanging notes and buzzing. Wu Tiangang was getting impatient and said,""If none of you want to take it, then we'll just have to take it head-on. When the time comes, we'll all go to jail together.”
Seeing that Wu Tiangang was about to quit, everyone stopped talking. It was as if it was just an illusion. Everyone returned to their sitting positions. Their backs were straight, but their heads were lowered. No one dared to raise their heads.
This time, it was Chen Fei who spoke first." President Wu, everyone was just thinking too hard just now. How about this? Everyone gather together. It's a good thing to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Otherwise, this day will come sooner or later.”
Speaking of the people here, there really wasn't anything good. They were proficient in eating, taking, paying, and asking. They usually did these things a lot. Seeing Chen Fei express his stance, everyone stretched their necks to see how much Chen Fei could take.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Chen Fei had no choice but to continue. This time, I'll take 10 million. There's no other way if it's more than that. After all, I have to support my family.”
While they were discussing how to raise the money, Joly was writing the script. Although it was still early, Joly believed that those people would agree. After all, no one wanted to stay in there for a few years.
Therefore, he could prepare in advance. It would be useful sooner or later. Anyway, the bank was not busy now. They needed Joly to deposit and withdraw money every day. It was not affected. Although there were some rumors, they did not spread. After two days, there was no news.
In the evening, Jiayi had finally reached an agreement. Everyone would split the profits, and the artistes would get a little. It was considered a 100 million yuan bonus. They could go through the procedures starting tomorrow. As a television station, there were still some procedures to change bosses.
As for Joly, he could only entrust Li Dan to help him deal with it. He could concentrate on writing the script. Anyway, there was very little bank business now, so he arranged for some people to follow Li Dan to hand over the script.
Joly had really thought too much. He had thought that it was a simple task, but it had taken him more than a month to complete it. Although Joly had completed the procedures, it had still delayed a lot of time.
The key was that there were always some random reasons from the broadcasting department. In the end, Joly had no choice but to use Hong Kong dollars to open the way. No matter what level of leader he met, he would give him a red packet.
Every night, Joly would arrange a meal at the hotel with only one purpose: to drink. Joly had made up his mind. As long as they did not agree, he would treat them every day until they agreed.
Finally, after Joly finished drinking, the leader of the broadcasting department, whose surname was Li, finally spoke up." Ah Li, not bad. Leave this matter to me. Tomorrow morning, arrange for someone to come over. I'll help you settle the procedures.”
"Director Li, thank you. I've troubled you a lot with this matter.”
"It's what I should do. You don't have to be so polite. To be honest, I've wanted to do this for you for a long time, but I had no choice. The higher-ups suppressed it and didn't allow it to be done.”
In fact, it was all a bluff. Joly didn't care too much about it. Some things couldn't be taken too seriously. If that happened, everyone would be embarrassed. Why bother? Moreover, he would keep in touch with her in the future. After all, she could control him.
After sending off the last customer, Joly walked alone on the street. Under the cover of the night, he looked at the ordinary people who were struggling to survive. Perhaps they still had dreams, but life had made their dreams so illusory and unreachable. Relatively speaking, Joly still had the ability to chase after his dreams. It was enough.
Joly had already rented an apartment near the television station and would probably spend more time here in the future. That small bank could be handed over to Uncle De to manage for the time being.
After returning to the apartment, Joly did not rest immediately. Instead, he took out the program plan that he had been working on for the past few days and re-examined it. This was a treasure. Whether or not it could make a fortune depended on them.
On April 28th, 1977, Jiayi TV Station was officially taken over by Joly. Although there were reports in the newspapers, they were all lightly mentioned because they all knew that Jiayi TV Station was taken over by the bank. It shouldn't be long before they found another buyer.
In fact, Joly was sincerely prepared to run the television station well. It was just that no one knew about it. During the negotiations, Joly had already asked Li Dan to bring people to take over the television station. Therefore, when Joly officially moved in, the people in the television tower did not feel strange at all.
Sitting in the television station's office, Joly felt carefree. After all, the bank was too small. It was only a three-story building, and it felt awkward staying there.
Joly really didn't know what to say about Jiayi TV Station. However, it had to be run by someone with sincerity. It definitely wouldn't be too bad. Even if there were some restrictions, it had been glorious for a year when it was first established. However, the boss had changed, and it was immediately different.
The program's viewership ratings were almost nonexistent. It was only in the single digits and was even worse than cable television. There were many reasons for this, but the fundamental reason was that the people were not good enough. Everyone from top to bottom was a group of rice worms.
There was only one Chinese channel in the entire television station, but there were more than 600 staff members. How many people were freeloaders? To put it bluntly, less than 100 of these people were actually doing something.
There were also as many as 300 actors and actresses who had signed contracts. This was even more ridiculous. There were only a few shows in total. What was the point of keeping so many actors and actresses? Actors also needed to be paid. Wasn't this a joke?
"Dong!"
Joly was reading some documents when he heard a knock on the door. He said without even looking up,"Come in!"
"President Qiao, I've already made the arrangements. The security guards are all our people now, and so are the main jobs.”
"Oh? Where did you find them?"
"There are so many employees in the bank. They all have relatives and friends. Everyone trusts you, so they came.”
Joly's head hurt a little when he heard that. He didn't expect Li Dan to learn how to flatter him. However, Joly didn't mind. A proper pat was also beneficial. It could bring them closer together.
"Yes, have you sorted out the film library?”
"I was just about to say that we've organized a lot of videotapes, enough to broadcast for a year. I didn't expect Jiayi to be so generous to put so many programs in the warehouse.”
"Hah! That's good. This way, I'll have confidence. I'll drive away these rice worms first. What a waste of food.”
"Directly chase them away? Will it affect us badly?"
"I can't care so much. If we keep this group of people here, the television station will collapse sooner or later. Don't worry, I'll be the villain. You don't have to step in.”
