Chapter 2914 Sir Derek’s Turn

"Adjourn the meeting for ten minutes, Sir Derek. Please come to the lounge. I want to have a chat with you alone."

After being shocked, Stephen Joel decided to go over and have a chat with Derek Ford first. He wanted to know what happened to this guy, why he suddenly withdrew the bill, and what happened here.

Don't know.

Derek Ford seemed to have guessed that the other party would say this. He immediately nodded and followed Stephen Joel out of the conference room into the adjacent lounge.

After closing the door, Stephen Joel asked directly before the other party sat down.

"Why should you withdraw the bill? Haven't you already done everything? As long as it is run properly, it can be done in three months. If you withdraw it now and introduce it next time, it will take at least half a year. You should know this."

Stephen Joel really can't understand why Derek Ford would do this at this time, because doing so is simply a waste of time.

"I think this bill is not very good. Although it can target Lin Daoqiu, it is not a good thing for the future of Hong Kong films."

Derek Ford's words made Stephen Joel look at the opponent like a lunatic.

Xiangjiang will leave England in less than eight years. This guy is still thinking about Xiangjiang's future. Is he crazy? Why didn't he know that Derek Ford had such a big sentiment? Did he know him before?

Is Derek Ford a dummy?

Discovering that Stephen Joel was really looking at him with a shocked expression, Derek Ford himself felt aggrieved, because what he did today was not his true thoughts, and what he just said was all what Lin Daoqiu meant.

, he just did what the other party asked him to do.

It's just that Derek Ford will not admit this in front of Stephen Joel. He can only make up an excuse for the future of Xiangjiang. No matter how much the other party probes him, he will still respond like this, even if Stephen Joel doesn't believe it no matter how much he does.

Maybe you can guess what he really thinks.

"The future of Hong Kong movies? You...are you thinking a little too far ahead? And Hong Kong is about to return. Isn't it a bit redundant for you to think about those things at this time? I think it's better to get this bill done as soon as possible. As for

The future of Xiangjiang Film naturally must be left in the hands of people we trust."

It is already obvious who Stephen Joel can trust. Lin Daoqiu is naturally not and cannot be. Originally, Stephen Joel thought that he still had the possibility of cooperating with Lin Daoqiu or becoming good friends, but that day Lin Daoqiu

His attitude towards himself has blocked this road. As punishment for Lin Daoqiu for not taking him seriously, Stephen Joel must give him a hard lesson.

"Okay, I admit that what I said is all nonsense, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"Consequences? What are the consequences? Is there anything else Lin Daoqiu can do to us? We are officials of the English House of Lords. What can he, a movie tycoon, do to us? I don't think there will be any bad consequences for us.

.”

Stephen Joel looked like he didn't take Lin Daoqiu seriously at all. In his opinion, even if England has weakened, they are not a film businessman who can manipulate them casually. They can only manipulate each other how they want.

Just do it how you want.

"Lin Daoqiu has established a "Reader's Times" in North America. Although his business in England has not yet expanded, if you think about it carefully, the world's most powerful film and television tycoon plus a media tycoon, if you offend him to death now, by then

I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape his revenge, so I think it's better not to get into trouble with him."

If Derek Ford had told Lin Daoqiu this before he met Stephen Joel, Stephen Joel might have thought about it rationally, but now he can no longer care about so much, even Stephen Joel himself thinks that Delhi

What Kefford said made sense, but he still wanted to cause trouble for Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm not afraid of these. I've always done things with a fair heart, and I've never violated any rules or disciplines. Because of this, I'm not worried about what Lin Daoqiu can do to me. On the contrary, Derek, I think you're so worried about these things.

Hasn’t Lin Daoqiu already caught the handle?”

Stephen Joel's guess is correct at all. It was precisely because Lin Daoqiu caught Derek Ford that he suddenly made a 180-degree change. Otherwise, he would definitely still be with him now.

Stephen Joel is on the same side.

"Do you suspect that I have done anything illegal or disciplinary? Stephen, let me tell you, I am more incorruptible than you. Your speculation is completely without evidence and is nonsense. It seems that we have nothing to talk about. You want to promote this

If it’s a bill, then you can continue to push it, but I will withdraw my support and I will still oppose this bill.”

"What did you say? You...you want to oppose this bill?"

If Derek Ford's withdrawal of the bill was enough to shock Stephen Yoel, now he not only withdraws his support, but also stands up to oppose the bill, which makes Stephen Yohl shocked and stunned.

After a moment, he immediately realized that Derek Ford must have been pinched by Lin Daoqiu, otherwise he would never have changed his mind so quickly.

"What happened? If you need my help, I will definitely try my best to help you. Did you have any clues that fell into Lin Daoqiu's hands?"

Derek Ford almost cried when he heard Stephen Joel ask this question, but unfortunately he knew very well that even if Stephen Joel was willing to help, it would be useless, because he had nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu, so for

Derek Ford could only pretend not to hear Stephen Joel's concern.

"I've already said that I'm more honest than you, so it's impossible and I won't let anyone else get anything wrong with me. What I say and do are all out of public interest. If you have nothing to ask, then let's do it now

Just go back to the meeting."

Derek Ford has no interest or desire to continue chatting with Stephen Joel because he has figured out the other party's attitude. In this case, he can only do what Lin Daoqiu said and become the opposite of Stephen Joel, at least that way

If so, he still has hope of getting his leverage back, but if he doesn't follow Lin Daoqiu's words, he will soon become the front page of "The Sun".
