Chapter 425: The Two Meetings

**Wireless TV Station, Small Conference Room**

Five people were seated at a small rectangular table. At the head of the table was Li Luyan, with Shao Yifu and Hu Zhanxing to his left, and Qi Dezun and Jones Brick to his right.

Although there were five board members, in reality, Hu Zhanxing and Jones Brick, holding around 5% of the shares each, were ordinary directors who did not intervene in the company's operations.

The main decision-makers were Li Luyan and Shao Yifu, with Qi Dezun occasionally offering opinions.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was relaxed and lively. Clearly, Jia Shi's suspension had put everyone in a good mood.

The recent meeting had discussed how Wireless could gain the maximum benefit from Jia Shi's collapse.

After some discussion, they had clarified several points: First, to poach valuable personnel from Jia Shi; second, to adjust strategies and set a policy to suppress Lide TV; and third, to reinvest all profits into the company this year, avoiding dividends, producing more major dramas, and capturing more viewership while stabilizing their position.

"Since we've made the decision, Sixth Uncle, please work a little harder!"

Li Luyan said with a smile and a gentle tone.

"Certainly! Rest assured, Mrs. Li!"

Shao Yifu chuckled and nodded slowly.

Glancing at the time, which was just past eleven, Shao Yifu recalled that Lide was likely holding a press conference. Since everyone was present, he thought it would be good to see what they were up to.

"By the way, Lide should be holding a press conference right now. I wonder if they will make any big news. Should we take a look?"

Shao Yifu asked with curiosity.

Hu Zhanxing and Jones Brick were unaware of this news. Upon hearing Shao Yifu, their interest was piqued.

Li Luyan also raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's take a look. Knowing ourselves and our enemies ensures victory in a hundred battles. Let's see what major moves they are making that warrants a press conference."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Shao Yifu smiled, stood up, and walked to the conference room's desk. He turned on the TV and tuned it to Lide TV's Hong Kong Channel.

At that moment, the TV screen displayed Xia Yu raising his finger, along with his shocking statement to all of Hong Kong:

"So, I will invest at least one hundred million to comprehensively enhance the TV station's strength, with no upper limit, until I achieve the results I desire!"

The sudden announcement caused the entire conference room to fall silent, and everyone's smiles froze.

Shao Yifu, who had not yet returned to his seat, felt the gravity of the situation and tightened his grip on the remote control.

No one spoke. Despite their somber mood, they all recognized the importance of the situation and stared intently at the TV screen.

It wasn't until the press conference ended that Shao Yifu turned off the TV and returned to his seat.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped the room, as if a mountain had suddenly descended upon them.

Finally, it was Li Luyan, as the chairperson, who spoke. Noting the serious expressions on everyone's faces, she sighed inwardly and said, "Let's hear everyone's thoughts. What should we do now?"

"We have a problem. Just as Jia Shi collapsed, we are facing Lide, which is even wealthier. The Lide people are quite capable; their biggest shortcoming was a lack of capital. But if Xia Yu truly invests at least one hundred million, suppressing Lide in the short term will be difficult!"

Shao Yifu said slowly, feeling disheartened. Just when they thought they could relax after Jia Shi's downfall, Lide had suddenly become a formidable opponent.

By addressing their capital shortfall, Lide's combat power would definitely increase several levels. Thus, it was foreseeable that the days ahead would be tough. The previously devised plans would not stand up to Xia Yu's one hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

"Moreover, Xia Yu is publicly recruiting talent across Hong Kong, clearly targeting Jia Shi's personnel. This will also cause disturbances in our company, which must be stabilized."

Qi Dezun said with a slightly serious expression.

He hadn't anticipated that, without a conflict in the capital market, he would have to compete with Xia Yu in the TV field. He knew Xia Yu was not to be underestimated, as evidenced by the public recruitment announcement on TV.

It was clear that Xia Yu was targeting Jia Shi's talent, but his recruitment wasn't limited to Jia Shi; he was addressing all of Hong Kong, which was already enough to make Wireless TV's staff uneasy.

"That's right. With Lide's newfound wealth, if they manage to recruit Jia Shi's talent, the competition will be essentially between two TV stations. We cannot let Lide poach all the talent; we must also make our moves!"

Hu Zhanxing, one of the two top performers in Hong Kong, suggested with a serious expression.

…

While the Wireless executives were deeply troubled, Xia Yu and the others had concluded the press conference and held their first high-level meeting.

In the small conference room, Xia Yu occupied Huang Xizhao's previous seat. Huang Xizhao now sat to Xia Yu's left, and the positions of the others were adjusted accordingly.

Xia Yu, with a mild smile, scanned the faces of all the serious executives and nodded slightly.

"You're all in good spirits!"

Hearing Xia Yu's collective praise, everyone smiled.

"Before we start the meeting, let's have a round of introductions. I don't know everyone well yet!"

"Xizhao, you start. Set an example for everyone!"

Xia Yu said, looking at Huang Xizhao on his left, giving him a soft instruction.

"Sure, boss!"

"I'm Huang Xizhao, currently serving as the General Manager of the TV station…"

"Dear boss, I'm Zhong Jinhui, currently the Deputy General Manager of the TV station, in charge of human resources, logistics, and talent training…"

...

"Dear boss, I'm Mai Danxiong, currently in charge of program planning…"

...

Xia Yu's memory was sharp. After everyone's introduction, he noted each person's name, characteristics, and position.

"Very good. You're all top talents. No wonder you can compete with the other two TV stations even under difficult conditions!"

"Thank you for the compliment, boss!"

Everyone responded with smiles and modesty.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued, "Now, let's assign the work. Please pay attention and take notes."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone instinctively straightened up, taking out their pens and opening their notebooks, ready to record.

"First, the personnel arrangements!"

"Reality has proven that your abilities are quite good, so there won't be major changes. Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui will keep their positions!"

With these words, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinhui felt relieved, while the others tensed up and focused intently on Xia Yu.

"Others will remain in their current positions for now. In the future, adjustments will be made based on everyone's performance."

As he spoke, Xia Yu's gaze swept over the others. Mai Danxiong and the others nodded solemnly.
