On this day, 58 years ago, on November 19, 1967 (October 18, 1967 in the lunar calendar), Television Broadcasting Company Limited officially launched broadcasting in Hong Kong. Television Broadcasts Limited (abbreviated as TVB; Hong Kong Stock Exchange: 0511, OTCBB: TVBCY), founded on November 19, 1967, is Hong Kong's first wireless television station. Together with Asia TV, it is one of the only two wireless channels. It is often called "wireless TV" or "wireless", and it is also known as "Wuji" and "Tricolor TV". TVB was founded by Lee Xiao-ho, Qi Dezun, Run Shaw and others. The free TV channel it operates, Jade Channel, has been in a leading position since its launch and is an important part of Hong Kong's popular culture. In addition, wireless programs (especially TV series) are mostly familiar to Chinese people in various places, and even spread to other Southeast Asian regions, becoming a window to understand Hong Kong culture. Starting from free TV in Hong Kong, TVB initially had only about 200 employees. Since its development, Wireless has spread its business all over the country and is involved in program distribution, pay TV, music, film, publishing and other industries. It is one of the world's largest Chinese program providers, with more than 4500 full-time employees and a turnover in 2007. It exceeded HK$4.3 billion.

The Hong Kong Broadcasting Corporation Limited (TVB) ushered in an uneasy Spring Festival. On February 7, an unknown "Legendary Pictures" suddenly announced that it had issued a preliminary letter to TVB, planning to acquire 29.9% of its issued shares, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong. If the deal is concluded, the company will become TVB's single largest shareholder. But strangely, Legendary Pictures had not communicated with TVB before, but directly submitted a possible offer to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which triggered TVB's temporary suspension. TBV claimed that they had not heard of Legend Group, and the source of funds and financial status were unclear, which cast a lot of mystery on the acquisition. What was even more unexpected was that the incident was almost out of control. Compared with the calmness of the mainland's melon-eating people, Hong Kong people cannot sit still at all. Since TVB is "the only company" in Hong Kong, every move has attracted much attention. Coupled with the news that the acquirer has a "Chinese-funded" background, the situation has become more complicated. From the perspective of Hong Kong people, this equity dispute is not just an ordinary business act, but a battle involving the "remote control" of millions of citizens. Hong Kong Broadcasting Corporation Limited (TVB) officially opens a "surprise" acquisition. In the Chinese world, TVB is an indelible memory. On November 19, 1967, TVB, founded by Li Xiaohe, Qi Dezun, Run Run Shaw and others, officially opened. In the next fifty years, this TV station has been influencing the Chinese community around the world. Whether it is the former Jin Yong martial arts dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Condor Heroes", or the "Golden Branch Desire","Palace Planning", etc., or Hong Kong police and bandit classic dramas "Forensic Pioneer" and "Stealth Snipe"... these are the youthful memories of many people. Such a piece of fat meat has naturally attracted the covet of many consortiums. In the past few decades, TVB's equity has been in flux. But today's "surprise" acquisition has caught even TVB, which is accustomed to storms, by surprise. On January 13, TVB announced that it would revise the original terms of share repurchase, maintaining the bid of 4.209 billion yuan, while increasing the bid per share by 15% to 35.075 yuan, and reducing the number of shares repurchased by 13% to 120 million shares. Obviously, this repurchase plan illustrates TVB's intention to refuse the acquisition. However, the legendary film industry has not "given up". Its president and founder Zhou Yiqiang said that their move was not a hostile takeover, but in good faith, and they also had sufficient funds and investors to participate in this acquisition transaction. As the incident continued to ferment, the acquirer Legendary Pictures was also "dug". It is understood that this "legend" is not Wanda's subsidiary Legend Pictures. The company's full name is Legend Pictures and Entertainment Group Co., Ltd., and was incorporated in Hong Kong in 2015. Its business scope includes cultural investment, real estate and finance. However, Tong Weijin, the company's sole director, is represented by three other companies, two of which are located in Beijing and one in Shanghai, with close ties to the mainland. As for the company's specific business situation, the official website introduction is vague, but it is all concentrated in the mainland. The origin of the acquisition funds is unknown and the background is mysterious. This legendary film industry, which has been labeled as "Chinese-funded" by the Hong Kong media, is naturally unpopular. Nowadays, everyone inside and outside the circle is waiting to see what kind of acquisition plan Legendary Pictures will propose next. Although this TBV equity dispute is shrouded in fog, it is already filled with smoke. The Hong Kong Broadcasting Corporation Limited (TVB) officially opened for "Chinese capital" to seize Hong Kong's television industry. However, just like a Cantonese feature film, the matter is far from over. The mainland capital that has appeared one after another, namely "Chinese capital" in the Hong Kong media's mouth, is the "highlight" and stimulates the sensitive nerves of some Hong Kong people again and again. Since the handover, many industries in Hong Kong have welcomed mainland capital very much, such as banking and insurance. However, only the media industry, which involves speech and news, has always maintained mistrust of or even smeared mainland capital. Especially in recent years, misunderstandings between the two places have intensified and become more sensitive. But this did not stop the pace of mainland capital. Last week, Cable Broadband, one of Hong Kong's major pay cable TV stations, also announced that it was about to sell. Coincidentally, the buyer will also be a "Chinese-funded" company and is in the final stage. It is extremely unusual for some Hong Kong people who are afraid of war with mainland capital so intensively. Even the most normal business activities will be demonized. The top of Mount Taiping is difficult to be "peaceful". From the perspective of insiders, a storm is quietly "passing" through Victoria Port and sweeping across the Hong Kong television industry.
