Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"intuition?"

After little Alan Ryder said this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help laughing. Although it was a bit rude, little Alan Ryder's words were really too nonsense.

Relying on intuition to judge that Murdoch and Fox shareholders will not sell the film company to themselves is probably just Alan Ryder's personal subjective opinion.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, as long as the price he offers is high enough, it is absolutely impossible for Fox to reject his acquisition proposal. After all, Fox's operating conditions have not been very good in recent years.

Even if they have the big IP of "Star Wars" to make money for them, it is obviously impossible for them to survive in Hollywood with just one movie.

Unless they can make a dominant movie like "1992" or "Godzilla", Fox's future is actually not optimistic based on the current situation.

"Yes, my intuition has always been very accurate."

Lin Daoqiu had to sigh with emotion, this guy was really good at telling lies with his eyes open. People who didn't understand the situation might really be deceived by little Alan Ryder's lies.

But who is Lin Daoqiu? He is a movie tycoon who dominates Hollywood, and since Fox formed an alliance with MGM, Lin Daoqiu knows more about the details of this company than outsiders.

Unless Fox can now make a movie on the same level as "Star Wars" in their own right, that is currently impossible.

Industrial Light & Magic and Magic Studios are already in the hands of Lin Daoqiu. Without the assistance of these two world's best and top special effects studios, it would be almost impossible for Fox to produce a special effects blockbuster that will impress people.

It can be said to be impossible.

Even if they find other companies to cooperate with, there is still a long way to go before they can reach the level of Magic Studio and Industrial Light & Magic.

"Then let's put it another way. If I'm lucky enough to be able to buy Fox's film company, I hope you can stay and continue to run the company. I wonder if you have such interest?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to continue arguing with Alan Ryder about whether he could buy Fox, but he changed his approach.

"No."

Little Alan Ryder didn't even think about it, he just shook his head.

You must know that when Lin Daoqiu took "Mission: Impossible" to be released in North America, Alan Ryder Jr. was already the president of Fox Film Company.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu could not stand in front of little Alan Ryder at all.

But I didn't expect that after all these years, Lin Daoqiu has gradually grown from an unknown filmmaker in Hollywood to a world-renowned movie tycoon. Because of this, the two people's identities have gradually become closer and even surpassed by Lin Daoqiu.

For a proud and arrogant person like little Alan Ryder, this reality is naturally unacceptable to him.

But before that, Lin Daoqiu's success did not affect him, so although little Alan Ryder was very jealous in his heart, he could still cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

It's just that now Lin Daoqiu plans to acquire Fox and then become his boss. This has exceeded the limit of Alan Ryder's tolerance. Naturally, he will not choose to stay.

"I can give you the greatest freedom and will not often interfere with your decisions. After I acquire Fox, you will not only get a large amount of funds, but also the full assistance of Industrial Light and Magic and Magic Studio..."

"When the time comes, you can express your revenge, and you don't have to worry about insufficient funds or technical limitations. How about that?"

With power, money, and resources that were previously unavailable, it seems that after Lin Daoqiu took over Fox, little Alan Ryder's life will obviously be more comfortable than before.

A boss like Lin Daoqiu is what many people dream of.

But it is a pity that sometimes things that are logical may not follow this logic when it comes to certain people, and little Alan Ryder is one of them.

"Great talk, but unfortunately I'm not interested."

Little Alan Ryder was very determined to refuse. Although Lin Daoqiu had guessed that he would reject her, he did not expect that the other party would not even have any room for negotiation.

"May I know the reason?"

"It's simple, because I hate you."

Little Alan Ryder said this, and Lin Daoqiu could only shrug his shoulders. After all, he couldn't be made to kneel down and beg little Alan Ryder to stay in Forks.

"Well, in that case, I have nothing to say, but if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time. I will always reserve this seat for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I appreciate your kindness, but I advise you not to waste your time, because it is impossible for me to agree to your promise."

After little Alan Ryder finished speaking, he stood up directly and left Lin Daoqiu's office without looking back.

After little Alan Ryder left, Richardson walked in from outside not long after.

"He refused and the reason he gave was that he hated me."

When Richardson heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Given his character, it doesn't surprise me that he would say something like this. If Alan Ryder Jr. is unwilling to stay at Fox, what are you going to do? Give up the acquisition?"

Richardson was curious, would Alan Ryder Jr. have insisted on acquiring the film company if he was unwilling to stay at Fox?

In response to Richardson's question, Lin Daoqiu looked at him with a puzzled look, as if to ask why Richardson had such a question.

"Why not? I didn't acquire Fox for Alan Ryder Jr. He was just one of the inducements. Compared with the movie company, his weight is not big enough to influence my acquisition."

Although Lin Daoqiu really wanted little Alan Ryder to stay and help him, he would not force it if the other party was not willing.

Richardson nodded while listening. He felt that this was the decision a mature boss should make.

If just one person can influence his idea of ​​acquiring a company, then Lin Daoqiu's will is really too weak.

If you only want to run in Hollywood at this level, I'm afraid you still need a lot of qualifications.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu did not give up on acquiring Fox Film Company because of Alan Ryder Jr., and Richardson naturally supported it with both hands.

"Now Murdoch holds half of Fox's shares, and the other half is scattered in the hands of other people. Who do you think I should approach first to negotiate an acquisition?"

"Murdoch, as long as you get rid of him, the others will not be your opponent even if they join forces, and there won't be much resistance to buying out their shares."

Richardson's idea was in line with Lin Daoqiu's wishes, and he was actually planning to talk to Murdoch first.
