Chapter 160: Breaking Defense (Subscribe)

"What, did I hear that correctly?"

At the Lin family villa, Young Master Lin was stunned and asked incredulously, "Are you saying that ATV has changed owners, or that it was bought by that Wu Feng guy?"

After receiving the accurate answer, Young Master Lin was furious and said, "How is this possible? He's just a gangster. How could he have bought ATV? Could it be that the Fahui didn't stop him?"

"Second Young Master, Wu Feng has successfully run for Sai Kung District Councillor and is now a Sai Kung District Councillor!"

He accidentally revealed that Wu Feng was the assistant to the new boss of ATV, and could only explain with a wry smile.

"What? He's already a Saigon councilor?"

Young Master Lin was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little confused, the shock was too great.

Just now, Mr. Lin and his assistant were watching ATV's "Unlimited Fighting Tournament" at home. This competition program has been very popular recently.

Even Young Master Lin had heard of it, so he would naturally take a good look at it when he had free time.

It turned out to be quite exciting, and he was almost fascinated by it.

Men have always been keen on intense physical confrontations.

After a fierce competition, Lin Ershao couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't it said that Qiu Degen has always been frugal? How come he is suddenly willing to spend money to produce such a wonderful program!"

It’s funny to say!
After Qiu Degen took charge of ATV, although he spent a lot of money, he generally adopted a frugal style.

It was also with this approach that ATV successfully made a profit of over 7 million last year!
His philosophy of running ATV is no secret in the circle of wealthy people, so Young Master Lin asked this question subconsciously.

As a result, the assistant was caught off guard and casually explained that ATV had changed its owner.

By the time he reacted, it was too late. Young Master Lin was shocked and naturally wanted to ask who took over ATV?

The assistant was helpless, knowing that there was no point in hiding it any further, and that it would only offend Young Master Lin.

So, he directly told ATV that the new boss was Wu Feng!

This is why Young Master Lin behaved a little out of control. He never expected that the one competing with the Lin family for ATV was not another wealthy man, but his rival Wu Feng.

It was hard to accept for a while, and I couldn't understand why this was the case.

It was also because he did not take Wu Feng seriously and had been adapting to the family business in recent months.

Inspired by the sudden rise of the eldest son Lin, the second son Lin, with the help of his mother, successfully entered the core department of the Lin family's listed group as a senior executive.

He is a senior executive with real power, not a nominal position like Young Master Lin!
Since I want to take control of the group's real power, it will naturally take a lot of time to familiarize myself with the work environment and understand the specific situation of the department. It was only recently that I finally got on track and was able to relax.

Who would have thought that while he was busy familiarizing himself with the group's affairs, Wu Feng, a small-time character whom he had previously ignored, took the opportunity to rise strongly and suddenly became the boss of ATV.

Such a result was hard for Young Master Lin to accept for a while!

After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty: "In other words, the currently extremely popular 'Unlimited Fighting Tournament' on ATV was created by this guy Wu Feng?"

"Yes, Second Master!"

The assistant replied stiffly, "I heard that Wu Feng invested tens of millions of dollars in preparation for this event, hoping to create a top-level fighting competition!"

"Humph, you have quite a bit of ambition!"

Young Master Lin's face was gloomy, but he did not lose his temper again.

Although he was in a bad mood, losing his temper at this point would make him seem petty.

However, it is not so easy for him to swallow his anger completely.

"Keep an eye on ATV's every move!"

Soon, Young Master Lin warned, "If there are any mistakes or omissions, report them to me!"

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

The assistant was terrified and subconsciously advised, "There's no need to be so stubborn, right?"

"Don't worry about this. I'll take any responsibility!"

Young Master Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Just do what you are told and don't ask so many nonsense questions!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in his tone.

When the family was having dinner together in the evening, Mr. Lin suddenly said that he wanted to publish a fashion magazine.

"Isn't your trading business doing well?"

Lin Baiyi asked curiously, "What kind of fashion magazine are you making? Can you do it well if you're distracted?"

"Arcade trade has stabilized!"

Young Master Lin was quite proud when he said this: "I just need to open up the connections. The rest of the things will naturally be handled by other people in the company. I usually have plenty of free time!"

He had resigned from the family group company a long time ago, after all, he already had his own business.

"It just so happens that my friend Wu Feng is now in charge of ATV, and he mentioned it during the celebration!"

"It's said that Hong Kong's top luxury brands are almost all foreign, but Hong Kong doesn't have its own luxury brands. This situation is very abnormal!" "How is it abnormal?"

Lin Baiyi became interested and asked curiously, "Foreign luxury brands have been operating for many years. It's not easy to break their monopoly!"

"I'm afraid it's just a fool's dream, right?"

Young Master Lin tried to hold back again and again, but in the end he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

If it were a few months ago, Young Master Lin would definitely not be in a very happy mood.

But now, he is a truly successful person, so naturally he would not react to Young Master Lin's sarcasm, he just felt it was funny.

"According to my friend Wu Feng, you don't even dare to think about it, how can you expect it to succeed?"

He just said this lightly, but Young Master Lin's expression changed suddenly. However, Lin Baiyi didn't notice it as he had already fallen into a state of deep thought.

"My friend Wu Feng once said about luxury goods: the reason foreigners can monopolize the market is simply because they hold the power to define luxury goods!"

"It's okay that we don't have enough media power to promote our products in Europe and the United States, but Hong Kong's economic development is quite good. At least there are a lot of wealthy people!"

Young Master Lin spoke eloquently and excitedly, "As long as we vigorously promote our own luxury concept, coupled with the huge cultural differences between the East and Europe and the United States, we will definitely be able to achieve some results!"

"As long as we open a channel, even if we can only get some small profits, the profits are still quite astonishing. A piece of branded clothing costs tens of thousands of yuan, so how much does it cost?"

The Lin family was originally in the clothing business, so they were naturally very familiar with the ins and outs of it.

What the hell is customization and so-called high-end fabrics? If something can be industrially produced, how high can the cost be?

This is 1988, not the 2020s of the 21st century, and the purchasing power of tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is still quite amazing.

“Oh, if you want to make luxury clothing, you need more than just a fashion magazine!”

Lin Baiyi is an old hand and he saw the problem at a glance.

"So, I'm also planning to open a small film and television company!"

Young Master Lin said proudly, "We specialize in urban fashion TV dramas, and the effect of coordinating with magazines is absolutely outstanding!"

"Urban fashion TV series?"

Lin Baiyi was a little surprised and asked curiously, "What kind of TV series is this?"

"It's a TV series about fashionable men and women in the city!"

Young Master Lin chuckled and explained, "For example, white-collar workers in companies, elite white-collar workers, and even gold-collar workers are all fine!"

"The film tells the story of urban life. Not only are the handsome men and beautiful women pleasing to the eye, but their outfits are also very trendy!"

"Just like when 'A Better Tomorrow' became a huge hit, Mark's trench coat and sunglasses became popular not only in Hong Kong Island, but also throughout the Chinese-speaking world of Southeast Asia!"

"Why do you think that a TV series produced by your own company will become a hit?"

Lin Baiyi continued to ask questions, but did not notice the ugly expression on his youngest son's face.

The second young master Lin is quite familiar with the first young master Lin. How could he not know the first young master Lin's philandering thoughts?
What a crappy fashion magazine, what a crappy film and television company, and that crappy urban fashion TV series, they are all just a cover. Young Master Lin’s real purpose is to hook up with beautiful girls.

But I have to say that Young Master Lin's move was indeed extremely ingenious.

Film and television companies sign beautiful women and use them to make TV dramas to promote them, while fashion magazines further consolidate their star status and, by the way, help promote so-called luxury clothing.

Especially with the ATV platform for publicity and promotion, maybe Young Master Lin will be able to create a few beautiful female stars. Then, wouldn’t he be as happy as a god with beautiful girls around him?
Whenever Young Master Lin thought of that scene and Young Master Lin's smug and arrogant expression, Young Master Lin almost broke down.

Damn it, all of this should have been his!
ATV is his, and the beautiful girls are his, but now they have all been given to others.

Wu Feng, that damn bastard, and Young Master Lin are not any good either.

If his father Lin Baiyi was not still there, the second young master Lin would have almost lost control of his emotions and flipped the table.

Young Master Lin continued to talk: "My friend Wu Feng said it very clearly. The TV dramas in Hong Kong right now are very rustic. There are no real urban fashion TV dramas at all!"

"The so-called melodrama about wealthy families may seem like it's legitimate, but in reality, it's full of loopholes. It's just for show. Do you think the audience will actually take it seriously?"

"If I want to shoot an urban fashion TV series, the group company has plenty of material!"

"Office culture, sales elites, business competition—even if I'm not very familiar with these elements, I've seen them and understand them!"

"Find a professional screenwriter to write the script, and then turn it into a novel for publication. If it's popular enough and then turns into a TV series, it's bound to be a hit!"

This eloquent talk surprised Lin Baiyi.

I have to say that what Mr. Lin said is very practical and has great room for operation.

How could he know that Young Master Lin had simply listened to Wu Feng's story and repeated it with his own understanding. This routine was very familiar to everyone in Fengrui Film and Television Company.

But for Lin Baiyi, who heard it for the first time, it was a big shock. He felt that the impression his eldest son gave him had changed greatly.

Only Young Master Lin's eyes were almost turning red.
