Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 266: The "266" Blueprint Files, Lin Yao's Ambition

The Australian consortium's main objective is to sell its shares at a better price.

There are currently only two potential buyers: Lin Baixin and Lin Yao.

As for the others, they either lacked the ability or weren't very interested in television.

The price the Australian consortium was asking for already had a very high premium.

Only Lin Yao and Lin Baixin, those who want to control ATV, would be interested.

Therefore, the ideal situation would be for Lin Yao and Lin Baixin to compete against each other.

Competition between the two sides makes it easier for them to raise prices.

These guys from the Australian consortium have also made a lot of efforts in this regard.

For example, when Lin Yao first became a shareholder of ATV, Lin Baixin's assistant was bribed by an Australian consortium.

That's why he dared to talk to Lin Yao like that, because this guy did it on purpose.

They wanted to incite Lin Yao's dissatisfaction with Lin Baixin.

Unfortunately, his little tricks had absolutely no effect.

Lin Baixin quickly saw through his plan, so for a while afterward, Lin Yao didn't see this guy around Lin Baixin anymore.

Oliver Kadoorie is the next move from the Australian conglomerate.

However, this tactic had limited effect and instead led Lin Yao and Lin Baixin to reach an agreement.

Although Lin Baixin didn't have good intentions either.

After separating from Lin Baixin, Lin Yao returned to his company and summoned Liang Xiaotang.

"Contact the commercial spies within ATV. I need a complete report on ATV's senior executives!" Lin Yao gave the order directly to Liang Xiaotang.

Liang Xiaotang nodded: "I understand, boss!"

"Yang Siwen, help me spread some rumors that I am quite dissatisfied with Lin Baixin!" Lin Yao said, turning to Yang Siwen.

Yang Siwen asked curiously, "Boss, to what extent do we want it to go?"

"The kind that's irreconcilable!" Lin Yao reminded him, "Don't make it too deliberate, or people will easily notice. Start with a small incident as a prelude!"

Yang Siwen immediately understood Lin Yao's meaning: "Are you putting on an act? Who are you putting on an act for?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "The Australian guy who previously controlled CRA, the company that owned ATV!"

Yang Siwen nodded and said, "Then we really can't make it too obvious. There are quite a few experts in ATV!"

Lin Yao snorted coldly and said, "Then we'll poach all their experts. This task is yours to handle!"

Yang Siwen was speechless: "Boss, I'm the company's CEO, not the CHO. Shouldn't you leave the poaching to headhunters?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "The capable should do more! I want you to poach all the capable middle managers from ATV and bring them directly to our company!"

"But our company doesn't have that many positions!" Yang Siwen asked, puzzled. "What's the point of poaching so many people?"

Lin Yao waved his hand and said, "I want ATV to be unable to operate normally! As for the positions, don't worry about it so much, I'll still pay your salary!"

“But boss!” Yang Siwen said with a frown, “This isn’t just about the position. Many people value more than just the company; they value their future!”

“I know, my goal is… ATV!” Lin Yao said with a smile.

Having followed Lin Yao for so long, Yang Siwen quickly understood Lin Yao's idea: "You mean... to bring them over first, and then promise them positions at Asia Television?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Lin Yao chuckled.

Yang Siwen nodded thoughtfully: "I know what to do!"

"Spend some money and hire a few headhunting firms to help you!" Lin Yao said casually. "I'll have a way to coordinate with you then!"

After hearing Lin Yao's plan, Yang Siwen knew that her boss was playing a very big game again.

However, seeing how confident her boss was, Yang Siwen couldn't continue to pour cold water on him, so she could only start preparing!

After instructing his subordinates to carry out their tasks, Lin Yao finally had time to check his rewards on the Fugui Maru.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a blueprint for the supporting industries related to drones (including microelectromechanical systems, high-strength composite materials, etc.).]

Upon seeing this thing, Lin Yao was momentarily stunned.

Then he rubbed his eyes and stared incredulously at the system's message.

The rewards from this system are way too generous! It's almost unbelievable!

Lin Yao checked the rewards, and then a series of documents appeared in front of him.

Although I can't understand them, these documents and blueprints look quite impressive.

Moreover, drones are the number one killer on the battlefield of the future. If Lin Yao could obtain mature drone technology decades in advance, wouldn't that be a game-changer?

Thinking of this, Lin Yao's heart immediately burned with excitement.

However, a problem arose then: Lin Yao couldn't understand these documents at all.

Even with these things, there's no way to develop and mass-produce them.

As for cooperating with his hometown? Lin Yao quickly dismissed the idea from his mind.

Having this technology in hand is a risky proposition for any organization, and Lin Yao doesn't want to be monitored.

Furthermore, his hometown will definitely develop this technology in the future, and it will develop very well, so Lin Yao doesn't need to worry about it.    
If we were to find someone to develop this thing ourselves, the investment would be a terrifying figure.

Lin Yao's current strength is insufficient to deal with the covetousness of other forces.

If the technology you develop is stolen by someone else, then you'll be a complete idiot.

Just like the Viagra formula he had obtained before, Lin Yao had never taken it out.

It's because I can't hold onto something of such great value for the time being.

"Sigh, my strength is still too weak. I need to develop it quickly during this period!" Lin Yao thought to himself.

However, Lin Yao did have a preliminary idea about finding someone to develop these things.

The Soviet Union had only recently dissolved, and the domestic situation there led to a large number of Soviet experts being relocated to other countries.

My hometown alone has received quite a few people, not to mention Europe and America.

Lin Yao felt this was also an opportunity; perhaps he could recruit some people to help him.

Thinking about this, Lin Yao felt it was necessary for him to make a trip to the Soviet Union.

Fortunately, his own arms company had access to Shanhaiguan's channels, which, although still being integrated, allowed him to purchase some weapons from places in the Soviet Union that were on the verge of poverty.

After all, there have been cases of people trading canned food for airplanes, so Lin Yao didn't think it would be too difficult.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yao decided to focus on matters in Hong Kong first.

Only after dealing with matters in Hong Kong will we have time to deal with other things.

……

In the following days, several media companies reported that Lin Yao and Lin Baixin had a conflict in public.

This kind of thing should just be a topic of conversation for ordinary citizens during their leisure time.

At most, it will only affect the company's stock price.

However, the Australian consortium had a different perspective, and this matter attracted their great attention.

They even sent someone to investigate the matter.

For example, the fact that Lin Yao had a public falling out with Lin Baixin and the heated exchange between them has been verified.

They even contacted other people at the party to confirm the matter.

The final conclusion was that the two did indeed have a major conflict, even publicly arguing with each other regardless of their status.

Subsequently, Lin Yao's Jianghu Media published some offensive remarks targeting Lin Baixin.

Lin Baixin, not to be outdone, contacted several magazines to launch a counterattack against Lin Yao.

In short, the most heated topic in the wealthy circles recently has been the war of words between the two sides.

Some people even called Lin Yao and Lin Baixin specifically to mediate and act as peacemakers.

At that moment, Lin Yao and Lin Baixin were playing golf at Fanling Golf Course.

This is not a place that ordinary people can enter, and it is not easy to be eavesdropped on when discussing matters in such a large stadium.

"It seems our plan was a success?" Lin Baixin said with a smile.

Lin Yao said calmly, "It all depends on whether the Australians take the bait or not. Let's see if they come to you first or me first!"

"What do you think?" Lin Baixin asked.

“I think we should approach you first, because you hold a larger number of shares!” Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Hehe, I think so too!" Lin Baixin said with a smile, "When the time comes, we'll follow the plan and make sure we can give these Australian devils a good beating!"

"But you've got some connections, kid. Quite a few people called this morning, wanting to help you mediate!"

Lin Yao laughed and said, "How can I compare to you, Brother Xin!"

"You're being too modest!" Lin Baixin said with a smile. "I remember Huamao Group recently acquired that piece of land in Kowloon Walled City. I heard that even the four major families could only watch and drool, unable to get a piece of the pie! It's clear that you're quite capable!"

Lin Baixin recently conducted a thorough investigation into Lin Yao.

He hadn't taken Lin Yao seriously before, thinking he was just a lucky kid.

But the more I read about Lin Yao's rise to power, the more alarmed I became.

Therefore, they became more cautious in their attitude towards Lin Yao, knowing that this kid was not someone to be trifled with.

As for the idea of ​​using underhanded tactics against Lin Yao, he immediately abandoned that idea.

Judging from Lin Yao's history of making his fortune, it would be a very foolish decision to use underhanded tactics against this kid.

Even the four major families suffered losses in front of him, and he didn't want to be humiliated.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Brother Xin, I'm just a novice! I'm a complete newbie when it comes to business! If we ever have to compete in the future, please go easy on me!"

Although Lin Yao's words sounded like a show of weakness, Lin Baixin became even more wary of him.

Thinking that once I got back, I would immediately contact the senior executives at ATV and try to get the upper hand.

This matter does not violate the cooperation agreement between the two parties at all.
