Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After coming out of Dykstra's office, Lin Daoqiu touched his pocket painfully.

I just accidentally lost 30 million US dollars in it. I am afraid that no matter who it is, it will be very distressed.

However, I couldn’t bear to let my child lead me into a trap. As long as I kept injecting money into the Magic Studio from now on, I would definitely die of poverty one day.

Shaking his head, Lin Daoqiu had already told Dykstra that he would persist until at least the end of the year.

But after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Dykstra's face looked a little ugly, because this was obviously impossible, so his reaction at the time seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't take Lin Daoqiu's words seriously at all.

One thing.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu planned to pick Brigitte Lin out for dinner, but after he came out, he walked around the set and couldn't find her. Instead, he met Fang Jinsheng who came to see him.

"Miss Fang called the company and said she wanted to meet with the boss."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have much reaction to this. He guessed that it might be because Uncle Six had figured it out and knew that it was the general trend now and that there was no way for Shaw Brothers to hold on like this, so he planned to accept the request he had made before.

In fact, this had been expected by Lin Daoqiu, so he didn't feel anything strange, because it would happen sooner or later. Unless Uncle Six wanted to watch Shaw Brothers sink step by step, he had to find a way to change it.

status quo.

………

The next day, Fang Yihua invited Lin Daoqiu to meet at the cafe of the Peninsula Hotel. It seemed that drinking afternoon tea here had become their habit.

"Mr. Lin, I believe that when we meet this time, you can more or less guess what I want to talk to you about."

Although the purpose of inviting Lin Daoqiu here today was to talk about Shaw Brothers joining United Cinemas, Fang Yihua didn't seem to think that she was bowing to Lin Daoqiu.

It seemed that her attitude was still as arrogant as ever, which made Lin Daoqiu not know what to say.

"Miss Fang is right, I can indeed guess a little bit, but as for whether it is really the same as what I guessed, then I have to let Miss Fang help me clear up my doubts."

Lin Daoqiu just answered Fang Yihua in a very normal tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yihua felt unhappy all over his body.

The thought of joining United Cinemas and that they would be controlled by Lin Daoqiu from now on made it difficult for Fang Yihua to be happy.

However, the current situation is stronger than others. When Zou Wenhuai and Lin Daoqiu join forces, their situation will only become more worrying. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Shaw Brothers to survive alone.

"Mr. Lin previously proposed that if Shaw Brothers wanted to join United Cinemas, he could only give us 20% of the shares, right?"

Fang Yihua originally wanted to get 25% or 30% of the shares from Lin Daoqiu, because Jiahe only got 25%. If Shaw Brothers only got 20%, once this matter got out, what would happen to others?

What will people think of Shaw Brothers?

I'm afraid that by then everyone in Xiangjiang will think that because Shaw Brothers is not as good as Golden Harvest, its shareholding in United Cinemas is only 20%.

Such words would obviously be very harsh to Fang Yihua's ears, but Run Run Shaw was a person who valued his own face very much, so she left angrily at that time.

"I have already discussed this matter with Miss Fang before, so I don't think there is any need to repeat it."

Lin Daoqiu did not intend to continue chatting with Fang Yihua on this topic. If she invited him here today and continued to struggle with this issue, Lin Daoqiu would probably have to give her a disappointing answer.

It seemed that Fang Yihua also knew that Lin Daoqiu would answer her like this, so she didn't seem too surprised.

"Mr. Lin, if Shaw Brothers is willing to pay 100 million to buy the 5% shares of United Cinemas, I wonder what you think."

As soon as Fang Yihua finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu was suddenly stunned for two seconds. He did not expect that the other party would be willing to spend such a large sum of money just to buy 5% of the shares of United Cinemas.

But he was surprised. Lin Daoqiu shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal without thinking much.

"Thank you Miss Fang for your kindness, but I don't plan to sell it. Maybe you can ask Jiahe, maybe they will be interested in doing this deal with you."

Although he said this, it was just Lin Daoqiu's guess. In fact, he didn't know whether Jiahe was willing to hand over 5% of his shares in exchange for the other party's 100 million yuan in cash.

But when Lin Daoqiu mentioned Jiahe, Fang Yihua's face immediately sank. It seemed that she didn't want to hear Jiahe's name at this time.

"Golden Harvest, New Oriental and Shaw Brothers, the three film companies together are not worth one billion. I didn't expect that Mr. Lin would not even pay attention to 100 million now. This really surprises me."

What Fang Yihua said is indeed correct, because the combined value of these three companies, including theaters and other things, is about 600 million.

Now she is willing to spend 100 million to buy 5% of Lin Daoqiu's shares, but the other party is unwilling. This makes Fang Yihua not sure how to feel.

"Mingren's eyes don't tell secrets. Although United Cinemas may not seem to be worth one billion, its actual value is far more than one billion, and it will only become more and more valuable. There is no need for Miss Fang to test my determination."

What is strange is that after Lin Daoqiu said this, Fang Yihua suddenly smiled and nodded, and it seemed that she agreed with Lin Daoqiu's statement.

"Mr. Lin is indeed very courageous. I believe that under your leadership, the performance of United Cinemas will definitely flourish. In this case, I will leave you to him in the future."

A second ago, Fang Yihua was still struggling with the 5% of the shares, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have agreed to join, which made people sigh that her change of attitude was really fast.

In fact, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua had already made their decision when they came, but just now she had an impromptu idea to see if he would be tempted if she was willing to spend 100 million yuan to buy 5% of Lin Daoqiu's shares.

Although the result disappointed Fang Yihua, it also reflected from the side how much Lin Daoqiu attached great importance to this joint cinema chain.

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, he stood up and extended his hand to Lin Daoqiu.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that the other party would continue to argue, but fortunately, the other party was not as stupid as Lin Daoqiu imagined.

When Fang Yihua extended his hand to Lin Daoqiu, he was also announcing that starting from today, a powerful movie theater chain would be born in the land of Xiangjiang.

"Uncle Six and Miss Fang made a wise choice. I believe you will be satisfied with the decision made today."

The next day, Lin Daoqiu, Shaw Run Run, and Zou Wenhuai suddenly announced that they would hold a joint press conference.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Hong Kong, and even reporters from many parts of Asia came to hear the news.

In the eyes of these journalists, almost most of their attention will be on that young man who is only twenty years old.
