Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu's reaction seemed a bit perfunctory, which made Zou Wenhuai feel unhappy.

But because he was in a weak position now, no matter how perfunctory Lin Daoqiu was, Zou Wenhuai could only pretend not to see it. In the end, he could only drink tea to deal with Lin Daoqiu's dry laughter.

After Zou Wenhuai put down the tea cup, Lin Daoqiu suddenly said straight to the point.

"Mr. Zou invited me out for tea today. Do you just want to catch up with me?"

Lin Daoqiu's question made Zou Wenhuai stunned for almost two seconds. He did not expect Lin Daoqiu to be so direct.

Zou Wenhuai was not an eloquent person. Originally, He Guanchang should have come forward to discuss this matter with Lin Daoqiu.

But now Lin Daoqiu is the boss of New Oriental, and is so successful in Hollywood that he can be said to be the most famous filmmaker in Asia. If He Guanchang is allowed to come to see him at this time, it would be a bit contemptuous of him.

"Since Mr. Lin has asked this, I won't hide it."

Zou Wenhuai smiled first, and then continued: "In the past six months, Jiahe and New Oriental seem to have had some unpleasant things. I made an appointment with Mr. Lin today in the hope of resolving this matter."

After hearing this, Lin Daoqiu just nodded, but the other party's words made him feel a little funny. It was said that these things were all caused by Jiahe.

They block themselves when they like, and come to negotiate reconciliation with them when they feel they are at a disadvantage. Is there anything so easy in this world?

If Jiahe is stronger than himself now, Lin Daoqiu may still agree to the opponent. After all, the situation is stronger than the person.

But now Jiahe and Shaw Brothers combined are no match for him. If Zou Wenhuai wants to talk about reconciliation at this time, they will have to give some blood, otherwise Lin Daoqiu will not agree.

But after thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu really couldn't think of anything that the other party had that he wanted besides the theaters owned by Jiahe.

Is it possible that he wants the other party to transfer several theaters to him? But I believe that Zou Wenhuai will never agree to such conditions.

And Lin Daoqiu is not that stupid. The other party has done so many things, and in the end he has to spend money to go to several of his theaters, so it is not certain who will lose and who will gain.

"Mr. Zou, actually it's not good to talk about some things. I had some conflicts with Shao before, but these were matters between my uncle and me. As a result, Jiahe got involved later. How could I do this?"

Don’t you mind?”

Lin Daoqiu's words suddenly made Zou Wenhuai's face look ugly, because the other party's tone was too strong, but in the final analysis, in Zou Wenhuai's view, this incident was caused by Lin Daoqiu poaching Yuan Biao first. How can he be blamed?

Own.

"If Mr. Lin hadn't poached Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung in the first place, how could Jiahe have done such a thing? Mr. Lin is now doing the opposite, which is unacceptable."

Zou Wenhuai felt that he had given Lin Daoqiu enough face, but the other party did not know what was good and blamed Jiahe for this incident, which made him very unhappy.

Ultimately, Zou Wenhuai feels that Lin Daoqiu should not poach Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung. It is precisely because of this that Jiahe's profits have dropped significantly in the past six months.

He went to the Shaw Brothers to join forces to deal with Lin Daoqiu. It was just a reasonable counterattack. How could he blame himself? Lin Daoqiu was too unreasonable.

"Since Mr. Zou thinks I am being unreasonable, it seems there is no need for us to continue talking."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude was not generally tough, which surprised Zou Wenhuai, but he could do nothing about it.

Even by the end, Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he clenched his fists, and it seemed that he was unhappy with the afternoon tea.

…………

After returning to the company, he sat down on his chair and one look at Zou Wenhuai's face revealed that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"This kid Lin Daoqiu is too arrogant. He doesn't take anyone seriously just because he has written several blockbuster movies."

After hearing this, He Guanchang could only shake his head.

Lin Daoqiu not only wrote several blockbuster scripts, it is said that he has now opened a film special effects company and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it.

Jiahe and Shaw Brothers would never be able to come up with such courage. It's not that they don't have so much money, but that they feel there is no need to spend such a large amount of money to set up a special effects company.

"Lin Daoqiu has become such a big deal now that we can't suppress him even if we join forces with the Shaw Brothers. Moreover, our current situation is very bad. If we don't find a way quickly, I'm worried..."

He Guanchang did not finish what he said, but he believed that Zou Wenhuai should have heard it clearly.

He is angry now, but after calming down, Zou Wenhuai still has to consider a solution to Jiahe's current predicament.

"Even so, is it possible that you want me to pour tea with him and admit my mistake?"

Zou Wenhuai raised his head and glared at He Guanchang.

"Of course that's not what I meant."

He Guanchang quickly shook his head. How could he let Zou Wenhuai pour tea and admit his mistake to a young man who was decades younger than him? If such a thing spread, how would Zou Wenhuai come out to see people in the future?

But this is actually just Zou Wenhuai's angry words, because he really can't think of a way to solve the problem now, so he can only sulk here.

"When Lin Daoqiu proposed to us the idea of ​​forming a joint theater chain, I thought we could use this to test it out."

When He Guanchang said this, Zou Wenhuai remembered this matter, but at the beginning he and He Guanchang had the same idea that United Cinemas and Jiahe must hold 50% of the shares.

But if he said this now in front of Lin Daoqiu, he would probably laugh to death.

But if Golden Harvest is unable to account for 50%, then the say of United Cinemas will fall on Lin Daoqiu, which is difficult for Zou Wenhuai to accept.

"If Lin Daoqiu's idea has not changed, I guess the proportion he wants must be more than 50%. As for the remaining 40%, we and Shaw Brothers will share it equally."

If He Guanchang had said these words half a year later, I am afraid Zou Wenhuai would have only listened to them as a joke.

But now even he has to admit that if Lin Daoqiu is asked to nod to form this joint theater chain, the other party's required shares must reach more than 50%, otherwise Lin Daoqiu will definitely not agree.

"Is there no other solution besides this method?"

Although Zou Wenhuai seemed to be asking He Guanchang, it was more like he was asking himself.

He Guanchang did not speak, but nodded slowly. At least in his opinion, there was no other better way to solve the crisis in front of Jiahe.
