Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"

Qiu Degen really couldn't understand. Fifty million was not a big sum of money to Lin Daoqiu, but he would spend such a large sum of money to help ATV film this drama for no reason?

Is it just because he wants to take revenge on TVB? Or is it because he is the second largest shareholder of ATV? Neither of these two points makes sense at all.

Moreover, the income from TV series and movies are completely different, and they are not shown in theaters. Lin Daoqiu got too little from the money.

"Mr. Qiu and I jointly acquired Li's and then changed its name to Asia Television. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Lin Daoqiu seemed to be lamenting the speed of time, but Qiu Degen felt more and more something was wrong the more he listened.

If someone else had said this to Qiu Degen, he would definitely be willing to reminisce about old times.

But when the person who said this was Lin Daoqiu, Qiu Degen had to start taking precautions.

"I remember a song with very good lyrics. It seemed like the lyrics were, time passes and can never be returned, the past can only be recalled."

The song Qiu Degen is talking about is from the 1970 song "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced", written by Lin Huangkun, composed by Liu Jiachang, and sung by You Ya.

It sounds like Qiu Degen is echoing Lin Daoqiu's words, but in fact his focus is on the last six words, which is the name of the song.

Lin Daoqiu heard the meaning of Qiu Degen's words, and vaguely told him not to have any thoughts about ATV.

But it is a pity that Lin Daoqiu has long regarded ATV as his own property, and has only given it to Qiu Degen for the past five years.

If Qiu Degen had known that Lin Daoqiu had this idea, he would never have cooperated with Lin Daoqiu to acquire ATV.

"Mr. Qiu is right. The past can only be recalled. Let's talk about something realistic."

Lin Daoqiu changed the topic, but it didn't seem to be in the direction Qiu Degen wanted.

"ATV has been unable to make a profit in the past few years, but Mr. Qiu needs to invest a lot of energy in it every year. This is really not cost-effective, so I want to acquire all the shares of ATV from Mr. Qiu."

Before arriving, Qiu Degen originally thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to talk to him about the production costs of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But what he never expected was that Lin Daoqiu never thought about negotiating production fees and directly wanted to buy his shares from the very beginning.

"Mr. Lin, are you kidding me? I'm doing a good job in ATV and I never thought about taking action."

Compared with when Qiu Degen acquired ATV, the overall ratings have increased by 20 points. Although most of the time it is still suppressed by TVB, it has at least turned a profit.

Qiu Degen firmly believes that if he continues to persevere, ATV will one day beat TVB and become the most influential TV station in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Qiu, you know ATV's situation better than I do. I won't say anything more. I'll offer you 260 million for your 70% stake. I hope you will seriously consider it."

Although Lin Daoqiu said this, since he had the idea of ​​buying ATV, he would definitely take action.

Even if Qiu Degen rejected him here today, Lin Daoqiu would still find ways to get the other party to sell ATV to him.

You must know that when New Oriental's predecessor was still Golden Princess, Lin Daoqiu had just made money from Hollywood and wanted to buy a theater chain, but Lei Juekun rejected him outright.

He even said that Lin Daoqiu would pay 500 million if he wanted to buy it, but in the end, Lei Juekun had to sell Princess Jin to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin is joking, right? I still say the same thing. I have no plans to sell ATV, so there is no need for Mr. Lin to talk about this topic."

Qiu Degen has never thought about selling ATV. At least so far, he is still very optimistic about ATV's future.

In fact, Qiu Degen had the same idea in his previous life. If it weren't for family factors, Qiu Degen would have insisted on fighting with TVB.

"TVB's revenue last year was HK$200 million, while ATV's revenue couldn't even exceed HK$10 million. Without my help, ATV's financial report next year will be very ugly."

What Lin Daoqiu said is true. Compared with ATV, TVB is far ahead in terms of income.

When this matter was mentioned, the expression on Qiu Degen's face suddenly became not very good, even though what Lin Daoqiu said was true.

"Is Mr. Lin planning to flip his cards on me?"

Qiu Degen felt that Lin Daoqiu was coming. It seemed that he was the kind of person who would never give up until he reached his goal, but he was not one who gave up easily.

"Mr. Qiu, the film and television industry is not easy to do, especially when there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong. I think you have persisted long enough. After all, there are so many five years in your life."

Lin Daoqiu has made it very clear that he wants to acquire ATV. Now it just depends on what Qiu Degen plans to do.

"I think I have done a good job and I don't need Mr. Lin to worry about it. If you plan to continue talking to me about this matter, then I can only say that I am sorry. I will not sell ATV."

Qiu Degen had never thought about selling ATV, so no matter what Lin Daoqiu said, he would not change his mind.

Even though Lin Daoqiu had offered twice the price he paid for ATV, to Qiu Degen, he really looked down upon the money.

"Mr. Qiu, that's all I have to say. I must win ATV. I have been waiting for five years and I cannot wait any longer. I hope you can forgive me for this."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Qiu Degen a little confused.

It sounds like Lin Daoqiu is going to use some means against himself in order to win over ATV.

"If Mr. Lin wants to buy ATV, he must make me nod. It depends on what tricks you can use to force me to nod. But I think your efforts will be in vain in the end."

Qiu Degen is very confident in himself. He does not believe that Lin Daoqiu can force him to sell ATV to the other party. At least at this time, Qiu Degen is still very confident.

"When I came back from Hollywood, I wanted to buy Princess Jin. Lei Juekun also said he wouldn't sell it. He even said that if I wanted to buy it, I would have to pay 500 million. But it didn't take long for him to sell Princess Jin to me."

Lin Daoqiu said that this incident made Qiu Degen feel as if he was showing off to himself.

But this strengthened his determination to persevere.

"Mr. Lin, Lei Juekun and I are different. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

When Qiu Degen said this, he stood up from his chair. After all, he probably wouldn't be able to drink the afternoon tea today.

When Qiu Degen left the box and just walked to the door, Lin Daoqiu's light words suddenly came from behind him.

"Mr. Qiu, I believe we will meet again soon."

"snort……"

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Qiu Degen walked out angrily.
