Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Li Maowen did not have the ability to predict the unknown. If he had not discussed these matters with Lin Daoqiu before, he would never have been able to guess the purpose of He Guanchang's sudden visit this time.

When Lin Daoqiu was assigned to meet with He Guanchang, Li Maowen suddenly felt excited, because if this matter was completed, he would have the opportunity to become the general manager of United Cinemas.

You must know that Li Maowen never thought that one day he would be able to sit in this seat, but now this incredible thing seems to be about to happen.

"Mr. He, please take a seat. I wonder if you have anything to do with your visit today?"

Li Maowen pretended not to know anything and looked at He Guanchang, but in fact, he was already extremely excited inside.

"Actually, I came today because I have something very important that I want to talk to Mr. Lin."

It's actually not good to say this in front of Li Maowen, because after all, the other person is also the general manager of New Oriental Cinemas, and his status in the company is only second to Lin Daoqiu.

But the main purpose of He Guanchang's trip was to understand Lin Daoqiu's thoughts. After all, he was the key figure in this matter.

No matter how good the conversation between him and Li Maowen was, it would be useless, because he was not the one who made the final decision, and maybe even if he talked about it in the end, it would be all in vain.

"Mr. Lin has gone out for something. I can't say when he will come back. How about you wait here?"

Li Maowen had already thought of an excuse. If He Guanchang didn't tell him, he would have asked him to wait here. Anyway, Li Maowen didn't know when Lin Daoqiu would be happy to see him.

He Guanchang knew that Lin Daoqiu must be in the company, but since the other party sent Li Maowen to see him, it meant that Lin Daoqiu did not want to talk to him.

This was the first time He Guanchang had been ignored by a junior like this, but it was useless for him to complain now. After all, Lin Daoqiu had an absolute advantage and there was no need to pay attention to them at all.

Even if he doesn't cooperate with Jiahe, it won't be a big loss for Lin Daoqiu, and he is still so young, so he can wait a few years, and in the end he may even annex Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

If He Guanchang doesn't want to see that day, then he can only do his best to prevent Jiahe from continuing to decline.

"In that case, please ask Manager Li to convey the entire conversation between us to Mr. Lin."

…………

"Golden Harvest is willing to let New Oriental take the dominant position in United Cinemas, but they want 30% of United Cinemas' shares."

If there were only Jiahe and New Oriental, Zou Wenhuai's request would be easy for Lin Daoqiu to accept, but the problem now is that Lin Daoqiu wants not only Jiahe, but also a Shaw Brothers.

If you agree to give 30% of Golden Harvest's shares now, then you will only have 70% of the shares in your hand. If Shaw Brothers is to be included in United Cinemas by then, will you have to give two to three shares to Shaw Brothers?

In the end, although he seemed to hold the largest share with 40% of the shares, as long as Jiahe and Shaw Brothers united, wouldn't he be sidelined by them?

At this time, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are still thinking about these crooked ideas. They really treat themselves as three-year-old children.

"You go tell He Guanchang that I am willing to give them 25% of the shares. Now it depends on what they plan to choose. This is also my final decision."

Jiahe will get 25%, and Shaw Brothers will get 20%. Then the two of them together will only have 45% of the shares.

He owns more than 50% of the shares. Even if Jiahe and Shaw Brothers join forces, they will not be able to do anything about it.

"I understand, I'll tell him now."

Li Maowen immediately nodded in agreement. If Lin Daoqiu had not said anything, he would not have thought that He Guanchang had such thoughts.

And when Li Maowen conveyed Lin Daoqiu's final decision to He Guanchang, they already realized that Lin Daoqiu had seen their little thoughts.

"Twenty-and-a-half percent is two-and-a-half percent, but we must not back down when it comes to arranging films. Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu will take advantage. Then I would rather not form this joint cinema chain."

Shares are shares, but Zou Wenhuai is not going to give in on matters such as film arrangement and schedule, because it is related to the future of Golden Harvest, so Zou Wenhuai will definitely stick to this point.

"You can rest assured about this. I have had preliminary discussions with Li Maowen before. It seems that they do not intend to put too much pressure on us in terms of film schedule. However, they have proposed a plan to adjust the screening time based on attendance.

.”

This plan proposed by Lin Daoqiu can be said to be fully supported by Zou Wenhuai. In the past six months, he has been deceived by Shaw Brothers precisely because of this, so this loophole must be plugged.

After several intense negotiations, Li Maowen and He Guanchang finally finalized all the details.

Although overall Jiahe suffered a bit of a loss, the problem now is that if they don't cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, then they may not even have the chance to suffer a loss.

…………

"The two heroes join forces to make waves in the film industry again"

"This Zou Wenhuai actually reached an agreement with Lin Daoqiu without informing us."

Although Fang Yihua said this, in fact, during the negotiation between New Oriental and Jiahe, she had already known about this matter from other channels.

But she didn't expect that Zou Wenhuai would accept such outrageous conditions, which really made her unable to understand what he was thinking.

On the side, Run Run Shaw was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed. He looked very calm. Even if New Oriental and Golden Harvest join forces this time, the biggest victim is Shaw Brothers.

"Go and meet Lin Daoqiu. I believe he is also waiting for you to come."

Run Run Shaw never thought about supporting it alone despite the pressure from New Oriental and Golden Harvest, because he knew very well that Shaw Brothers was no longer what it used to be and had no capital to fight against them.

If Shaw Brothers doesn't want to end up with a disastrous end, the only way is to join this joint theater chain.

"Then how many shares should we ask for?"

Although Fang Yihua knew very well that Lin Daoqiu from United Cinemas would definitely take the majority share, she felt that Shaw Brothers should get more shares than Golden Harvest.

"It's not how much we should ask for, but Lin Daoqiu has already prepared it for us. I guess he should have reserved 20% of the shares for us."

If Lin Daoqiu was not a fool, he would not let the combined shares of Jiahe and Shaw Brothers exceed 50%, so he would definitely let himself hold more than half of the shares.

Since Jiahe has already taken 25% of the shares, the shares he left to Shaw Brothers should only be 20%.

Because he would not agree if he was given too little, but if it was too much, he would not be able to control the absolute right to speak, so two achievements were Lin Daoqiu's bottom line and the bottom line that he could accept.
