Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't come up with this method just because he had nothing to do.

Because he felt that it was impossible for Kerkorian to sell MGM to him for 600 million. If he wanted to buy the flowers, he would have to pay 80 million more.

Lin Daoqiu really wanted to buy MGM because it would save him a lot of time.

After all, MGM has a complete distribution network, film library, partners, as well as the company's brand value and a series of precious things.

If given the opportunity to buy this well-known Hollywood film company, Lin Daoqiu would certainly not miss this opportunity.

Under these preconditions, Lin Daoqiu planned to take a gamble. Anyway, even if he lost, he would only pay 80 million more to buy MGM. But if he won, he would earn 80 million more. Why not?

Not for.

"Can I use my own coins?"

Kerkorian seemed to have accepted Lin Daoqiu's challenge, but he proposed using his own coins as tools.

"Of course no problem."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have any objection to this. It was just a gamble anyway. It was normal for the other party not to believe the coins he took out. It was completely understandable for Lin Daoqiu to have doubts about this.

When Kerkorian heard Lin Daoqiu directly agreed, he immediately realized that the other party had not thought of cheating, but that he really wanted to gamble his luck with himself.

After living for so many years, Kerkorian has seen many big scenes, but a flip of a coin will determine whether he will make 80 million US dollars more or 80 million US dollars less. I am afraid there is nothing more exciting than this.

However, Kerkorian searched around himself and couldn't find a coin, so he finally took a coin from the driver.

"Mr. Lin, I want to confirm once more that you win heads and I win tails. This decision will not be changed."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded.

"Well, although I don't know what you think, I think this challenge is very interesting. I accept it. Then let God decide whether it is a positive or a negative."

After Kerkorian finished speaking, he took a deep breath, then looked at the coin in his hand, and a few seconds later he suddenly threw it up hard.

During the short interval from when the coin was tossed to when it landed, Kerkorian kept praying for the tail. His eyes were fixed on the coin, hoping that the goddess of luck would favor him.

Lin Daoqiu, on the other hand, showed a very calm look, and it seemed that he was very calm about the result.

The moment the coin hit the ground, Kerkorian's heart almost jumped out of his throat due to nervousness.

Because as long as you see clearly whether the coin is heads or tails, you will decide who the winner of this bet is.

When the two people looked at the coins on the ground, one person had a smile on his face, while the other person had a regretful expression on his face.

"Looks like Lady Luck is on my side."

Lin Daoqiu looked at the coin on the ground and smiled slightly. Because the coin was facing up at this time, he won the bet.

Kerkorian was very upset, but he had just agreed to the bet, so he couldn't regret it now if he lost.

Of course, he could cheat and refuse to acknowledge the bet, but Lin Daoqiu had nothing to do with him.

But if he did this, he wouldn't have to lose 80 million US dollars, but Lin Daoqiu would definitely not bid for MGM.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin, MGM was sold to you for a price of 600 million US dollars."

When Kerkorian said these words, his whole body felt suddenly powerless and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think much about this. He didn't play any tricks in the process. All of this was Kerkorian's own operation. If he lost, he could only say that the goddess of luck was not on his side.

"Thanks to Mr. Kerkorian, we can have the lawyers draft the documents now, and after my team of accountants comes to MGM to check everything out, we can sign the contract."

When buying such a large company, it is impossible to sign a contract right away. You must go through a series of tasks, and signing the contract is already the last step.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, please arrange it as soon as possible. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest, so I won't disturb your work."

Kerkorian seemed to be traumatized by this bet and no longer wanted to continue chatting with Lin Daoqiu. He just wanted to go home and have a good rest.

After all, he lost 80 million U.S. dollars in one move. Even though he runs a casino and has seen gamblers of all sizes and high rollers, this is his first time playing this kind of 80 million U.S. dollars gambling game, and he still has it.

A total loss.

After Kerkorian finished speaking, he turned around and left. Looking at him dragging his heavy footsteps, you could tell how much this bet had an impact on him.

The financial loss is only one of the factors. What really makes Kerkorian feel sad is that without the blessing of the goddess of luck, no wonder he has reached this point.

He felt that if it were his heyday, the coin would definitely land on tails and never on heads.

But it is useless to think so much now, because the result cannot be changed.

It was almost as if MGM had been sold to Lin Daoqiu. After the transaction was completed, he would use the money from selling MGM to pay fines and pay off debts, and he would not have much left in his hands.

Wanting to make a comeback is undoubtedly wishful thinking. After all, he is old and has lost the energy and arrogance he once had.

Lin Daoqiu, who watched Kerkorian get into the car, didn't have much thought about this. He was actually prepared to lose at the beginning.

But I didn't expect that my luck would be so good, and I actually won in the end. It seems that Kerkorian's recent luck is really unlucky.

…………

A few days later, Hollywood suddenly broke news that shocked everyone.

Kerkorian plans to sell MGM, and the two parties have reached an agreement.

As soon as this news came out, many newspapers and magazines began to reprint it, and everyone wanted to know immediately who was going to buy MGM.

As the news was slowly revealed, many insiders who knew they had access to MGM were secretly breaking the news.

There were not only buyers who had made bids before, but also many business tycoons. Among these people, the appearance of Lin Daoqiu surprised many people.

However, at the beginning, no one took Lin Daoqiu's intention to buy MGM seriously, because in their opinion, although Lin Daoqiu was a very good movie tycoon, the possibility of him buying MGM was too low.

.

Among the candidates reported by newspapers and magazines, they believed that there were several people who were more suitable than Lin Daoqiu and who were more likely to take action.

For several days, the pages of Hollywood entertainment magazines were filled with news about the MGM deal, and the deal suddenly became a hot topic among the public.
