Chapter 2111: News War

In the early stages of reform and opening up, the country's economic system reform faced huge challenges and uncertainties. At that time, people's understanding of the financial field was very limited, and it could even be said that they knew almost nothing.

By now, the financial concepts that ordinary people know are limited to stocks, and they have only started to understand them in the last two years.

For the government, the financial field is full of complexity and professionalism. It is not easy to fully understand and master this field, and it requires a lot of time and energy to study and research systematically.

However, economic development has now entered a high-speed track, and time is tight and cannot be delayed. So, how to deal with this challenge?

Western countries have established a relatively mature and perfect financial system after long-term accumulation. If we directly borrow their experience, perhaps we can quickly solve the current problems.

As a result, those international students who returned from studying abroad and had financial professional backgrounds became important talent resources and were entrusted with important tasks.

But if it is just copying others' homework and then making appropriate adjustments and developments according to their own actual situation, there is no problem in itself.

The real problem is that the people responsible for copying the homework have crooked butts; they are influenced by Western values and are even bought and utilized.

They regard Western financial theory as the supreme criterion, and when thinking about problems, they often start from the interests of individuals or specific groups, rather than standing on the standpoint of the country and the people.

Regarding these problems in the financial field, Zhou Andong didn't talk too deeply either. Setting aside the BUG of his two lives, just starting from the perspective of this era.

Arranging international students with financial professional backgrounds in key positions and borrowing foreign experience to build our own financial system is actually not inappropriate.

As for the serious problems in later generations, it was due to the era background and limitations. No one is a god, and no one can predict the next ten or even decades.

Therefore, don't doubt the wisdom of those old guys above. After his reminder, they will definitely be alert and take measures to solve these problems.

Even if the hidden dangers cannot be completely eliminated, they will never let the situation deteriorate to the extent of the previous life, being infiltrated so seriously, like a sieve.

The eldest Huo son looked at Zhou Andong and asked hesitantly, "Do you have any countermeasures here in Xiangjiang?"

"Sigh!"

Zhou Andong sighed. "If it were at the beginning of the negotiations, I would have a way to make the British steal a chicken but lose the rice, but it's too late now.

As early as ten years ago, they started to lay out, what citizenship, autonomy, Grandpa Huo, you should know, this is a big thunder.

The British have never given the people of Xiangjiang citizenship and autonomy. Now these foreign devils have jumped out, putting on a righteous posture, claiming to fight for citizenship and autonomy for the people of Xiangjiang.

If the country refuses to accept it, it will form an opposition with the people of Xiangjiang. Originally, some people lacked a sense of belonging, and in this way, the contradiction will inevitably intensify and break out instantly.

If the country agrees, this landmine will explode sooner or later, hurting Xiangjiang. As for the extent of the injury, no one can predict."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "This is a war, a war without smoke, but it is more dangerous than one with smoke.

The British will definitely move their hands on laws, elections, culture, and education in the dark, and on the surface, they will control the Xiangjiang media, spreading rumors and smearing the image of the mainland.

When the time is ripe, or when they feel it is necessary, they will unhesitatingly detonate the bomb of citizenship and autonomy."

Zhou Andong smoked a cigarette and looked at Elder Huo and the eldest Huo son. "So, what I can do is compete with the British for the right to speak and fight a news war."

The expression on Elder Huo's face became very solemn. "Whether it is a television license or a radio license, including newspapers and magazines, with your status, you certainly won't be able to get it in Xiangjiang.

If what you said becomes reality, the British started laying out ten years ago. Even after the return, you will face heavy resistance if you want to get a license."

Speaking of this, a look of helplessness appeared on Elder Huo's face. "In this matter, Grandpa Huo can't help you. If I insist on coming forward, it might make things more complicated and difficult to handle."

Zhou Andong smiled, smoke crawled out of his mouth, slowly rising and drifting away, making his eyes somewhat blurry.

"I can handle this matter myself."

Currently, Xiangjiang has two television stations, TVB and ATV. During the period, a Jiashi emerged, but three years after it started broadcasting, it was driven out of the arena by the two strong ones.

In February 1988, Asia Satellite Company, formed by Hutchison, CITIC, and Cable & Wireless, was established.

In 1990, Li Chaoren persuaded the Xiangjiang government to relax relevant regulations. In December, Satellite Television officially obtained a business license, but with two additional conditions.

One is that Cantonese programs cannot be broadcast, and the other is that users cannot be charged. The first condition is actually the result of pressure from TVB, ATV, and Cable TV on the Xiangjiang government.

In March 1991, Satellite Television Company was officially established, with Li Chaoren as chairman and the Little Superman as vice chairman. The total investment was 3.1 billion Xiangjiang dollars.

A month later, Satellite Television began trial broadcasting; by the end of the year, it was already using five channels to broadcast programs normally. Two years after it started broadcasting, Satellite Television had covered 30 countries and regions, with 50 million household users.

Many large companies signed contracts with Satellite Television, becoming its stable advertising clients. Within less than 20 months, Satellite Television's advertising revenue was 360 million US dollars, while the annual cost of maintaining five channels was 80 million US dollars.

However, unexpectedly, this Satellite Television with good operating conditions, when the Xiangjiang government promulgated new television broadcasting regulations in 1993 and announced that Cantonese programs could be broadcast, the Little Giant sold Satellite Television.

Subsequently, on the night of March 31, 1996, the Satellite Television signal stopped broadcasting, and immediately after, Phoenix Television officially started broadcasting.

Thinking of this, Zhou Andong sighed. This opportunity was missed, and he could only let Alice come forward to get the licenses for television stations, radio stations, and newspapers.

Then let Alice find a foreigner friendly to China to manage the television station, radio station, and newspaper. After the return, he would let "Sony Pictures" acquire it.

In this way, he could better control the public opinion orientation and fight a news war with the British and that group of banana people. As for the final result, it could only be left to God to decide.

Zhou Andong pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. "This matter is far from enough with my own strength. What I can do is actually very limited, which is to play a little role in money and public opinion.

It still requires the country to intervene, secretly infiltrating laws, elections, culture, and education, destroying the British layout, and curbing it through policy and legal means on the surface." ===== CHAPTER 2112 =====
