Chapter 1281 - Buying a Satellite for fun



“Old Liu, you are poking fun at me. My standard cannot even qualify to be an intern in your company. No matter what creative ideas I have, it will not become a reality if no one goes and do it. You are too modest this year. Why did you ask everyone in your company not to vote for you?”

Feng Yu knew his standards. Someone might like to eat, but that does not mean he knows how to cook. Even if he can memorize the recipe, he will still not win against a small restaurant’s chef.

Liu Chuanzhi glanced at Feng Yu. “You still dare to question me? You had gotten the most votes, but you withdraw your name from this award.”

Although Feng Yu is not one of the 40 candidates, many people, especially people from Europe and the US, voted for Feng Yu.

People overseas know Feng Yu is the reason why China’s IT industry can develop so quickly. Although Feng Yu had not stepped forward, he owns many of China’s top IT companies’ shares. Some of them had become successful because of his support.

If Feng Yu cannot qualify for this award, who else can qualify?

Feng Yu had only asked his employees in China not to vote for him, but almost all the overseas votes went to him. Even some netizens had voted for him too.

Luckily, Feng Yu asked the judging committee and managed to remove his name. Many people might think going on the stage to receive the award is an honor, but he felt it is too troublesome as he still needs to prepare a thank you speech. Who should he thank?

Most importantly, Feng Yu felt he had not done anything. Getting this award feels like snatching someone else’s credit.

Everyone on the stage is the top businessmen from Feng Yu’s previous life. But there are also two representatives from State-owned enterprises. These two are not famous, and he did not even hear of their names.

But these two people should have an impressive resume if Feng Yu searched for them on Baidu.

There are still many impressive people in the State-owned enterprises. After all, all the elites will enter state-owned enterprises and government services because of China’s former policy. The non-elites will enter the ordinary factories as workers.

Only a handful will start their own business, and most of them succeeded. These people had started their businesses at the right time. It is easy for them to succeed if they are smart, hardworking, and have some connections.

But it’s not easy for them to reach Lei Jun, Liu Chuanzhi, etc., level. Even Shi Dazhu, who was formerly one of China’s top ten tycoons, failed before.

Among the winners, Feng Yu is surprised to see Yang Lan winning the award.

Yang Lan is formerly a host with CCTV and had gone to the US to further his studies when he is at the peak of his popularity. During that time, the Government policy does not allow their staff to take a long period of leave away from work. So, she quit and went to the US. After her studies, she joined Phoenix Television and started her own company.

Yang Lan juggled between hosting TV programs and managing her company. Within a few years, her net worth rose. When the markets were at their peak two years ago, her net asset is almost 200 million USD.

Even now, Yang Lan’s net worth is more than 100 million USD and is still rising.

Yang Lan’s Sun Media was named one of the World’s top 300 potential small enterprises by <Forbes> twice. Of course, <Forbes> definition of small enterprises is companies worth over 100 million USD.

Feng Yu is very interested in Yang Lan’s Internet TV.

The Chinese authorities heavily regulate online TV, and China’s internet speed is too slow. It is too troublesome for Feng Yu to set up his online TV station in China. But it is much easier to do that in Hong Kong.

Yang Lan is smart, decisive, firm, and has an affinity with TV viewers. All these traits are her signature.

She is most well known as China’s female representative. For example, when China was bidding for the Olympics, she was invited by the Chinese Government as one of the representatives. Many Chinese viewers immediately recognized her as the beautiful former host of <Zheng Da Variety Show>!

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Yang Lan’s Charity Trust fund had done well, and she is one of China’s top female representatives.

“Manager Feng, are you thinking of investing in Yang Lan’s company?” Zhong Qingxian noticed Feng Yu kept staring at Yang Lan.

Zhong Qingxian does not believe Feng Yu has ulterior motives on Yang Lan, as their age gap is too big. Moreover, he did not see any desires in Feng Yu’s eyes.

“Tell Zhang Chaoyang that Yang Lan’s company can help Sohu Channel. If both companies can cooperate, it can speed up the developments.”

Zhong Qingxian understood why Feng Yu is interested in Yang Lan’s company. But Yang Lan’s company can complement Sohu, and Sohu is not only cooperating with CCTV. They are also working with other TV stations. If they can enter the Hong Kong market, it is equivalent to them entering the overseas market.

“Manager Feng, Zhang Chaoyang had mentioned to me about Sohu’s development. But I think it’s hard for his plan to succeed.”

“Zhang Chaoyang said if Sohu can acquire a TV station in Hong Kong or Macau, they can become a satellite TV station, and Chinese citizens can watch its channel on TV. With this, the copyright fees, online operations, etc., will become much easier. As for the programs, he believes they can come up with good program concepts.”

“He wants to acquire a TV station?” Feng Yu rubbed his chin and thought about it. This seems to be a good idea.

Also, Li Zekai had managed a TV station before, and he can help. The procedures in getting a satellite are also not a problem, as satellites can be bought overseas.

Wait. Why don’t I buy a satellite?

In the future, Baidu and many other companies will buy their satellites. This is for more secure communications, and there are many other uses for satellites. For example, maps, satellite phones, etc.

Feng Yu can do a lot of things if he owns a satellite.

“Old Zhong, should we buy a satellite?”

Zhong Qingxian was still waiting for Feng Yu’s opinions when he got a shock from his reply.

“Manager Feng, what did you say? Buy a satellite?!”

“That’s right. Didn’t you say he wanted a satellite TV channel?”

“We can just rent a satellite channel. Why do we need to buy one?”

“We can afford to get one. Why should we rent from others? Also, we can rent out some channels to others after getting our satellite. Ok. That’s settled. I will ask Brother Ki or get Ralph to contact the companies. We will buy a satellite for fun!”
