Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The room Hain arranged for himself can see the outside scenery from the window.

And as long as you open the windows, you can breathe the freshest air directly.

This is indeed a good place to rest. After staying here for a long time, Lin Daoqiu felt that his whole person became energetic.

Although he didn't know why Lawrence and the others wanted to find him, Lin Daoqiu felt that this might be an opportunity.

Just be careful not to dig a hole for them, lest you have to count the money for them when you are sold.

Not long after Lin Daoqiu had settled in, there was a knock on the door.

After Lin Daoqiu responded, Longmeyer opened the door from outside and walked in.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I hope this journey didn't make you unhappy."

Longmeyer walked in with an apologetic look on his face. He was like a sculpture in the room just now.

Although he is the president of Universal Pictures, in the final analysis he is just a part-time worker.

He invited Lin Daoqiu here just to follow orders.

"It's okay. Suddenly a pie fell from the sky. If you're not careful, you will be knocked unconscious."

Lin Daoqiu had something to say, but Longmeyer just laughed and did not continue.

"Mr. Lin, although I don't know anything about Xiangjiang, I have also heard of the company Bao Yun International. If you really have a conflict with them, I sincerely suggest you accept the boss's request."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Langmeyer and asked him with a smile.

"What's wrong? Your boss is worried and sent you as a lobbyist again?"

Longmeyer quickly shook his head.

"That's not true. The boss just asked me to invite you here. I don't need to intervene in other matters, and my words will not affect your judgment."

Langmeyer knew very well that his relationship with Lin Daoqiu was actually very ordinary. To put it bluntly, they were just partners, and at best they were just ordinary friends.

He didn't think he could influence Lin Daoqiu, so Old Lawrence wouldn't be stupid enough to let him be a lobbyist. That would be too impatient.

"By the way, what's going on with "Home Alone"? Now that it's here, I still want to resolve this matter first."

Putting aside the matters of Old Lawrence and the others, what Lin Daoqiu is most concerned about now is whether they will buy the copyright of "Home Alone" or not.

Longmeyer thought for a while and then told the truth.

"The copyright of "Home Alone" has been discussed by the board of directors. The directors' opinions are not unanimous. There are many people in favor and against. It is still in a deadlock."

Although Langmeier is the president of Universal Pictures, when such a large amount of money is involved, he does not have the right to make a decision and can only let the directors discuss it.

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that this matter would go so poorly.

"So I'm afraid this matter will have to be in a stalemate for a while?"

Lin Daoqiu frowned slightly. He didn't necessarily want to sell the copyright to Universal Pictures. He just planned to sell it to an acquaintance because everyone was familiar with it.

If Universal Pictures had this attitude, Lin Daoqiu would not mind contacting other companies. He did not believe that those people would not see the potential of "Home Alone."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. This matter will be resolved soon. I believe you will get a satisfactory answer by then."

Although Longmeyer said this, he was actually beating the drum in his heart.

Those directors who objected were not saying they would not buy it, but they wanted the amount to be lower, preferably 200 million.

If the board of directors really makes such a decision by then, Longmeyer believes that Lin Daoqiu will directly take the copyright of "Home Alone" to find another company to cooperate without even thinking about it.

Although he has made a lot of money from Universal Pictures, this kind of thing is mutually beneficial. Compared to Lin Daoqiu, Universal Pictures actually makes more money, but everyone understands it tacitly.

"Mr. Longmeyer, I believe you should know something about me. If the price is less than 300 million, then I'm afraid I can only say sorry."

Lin Daoqiu could more or less guess the reason for their stalemate, probably because of the price.

But Lin Daoqiu would not give in to the price of 300 million. He would rather make a few movies to make money than sell the copyright of "Home Alone" at a low price.

Langmeyer stayed in Lin Daoqiu's room not long before leaving. There were still many things to do in the company, and he could not stay here forever.

After staying in the manor for several days, Lin Daoqiu got enough relaxation. He even planned to build a manor in the future, take his woman over, and enjoy the pastoral life here.

…………

"Mr. Lin, how have you rested these past few days?"

On this day, Lin Daoqiu asked the housekeeper Hain to invite old Lawrence and his son over. It seemed that he was planning a showdown.

"Very good. Thank you Mr. Lawrence for your thoughtful arrangements."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded.

Old Lawrence seemed a little impatient and wanted to know Lin Daoqiu's answer right away, so he simply asked the other party directly.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin thought about that matter?"

Lin Daoqiu put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"I can agree to help you deal with the Bao family, but in addition to what you promised before, you must agree to three conditions."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Old Lawrence immediately looked unhappy.

But when he heard Foden cough, he immediately turned to look at Foden and found that his son nodded slightly, so he turned back and said to Lin Daoqiu.

"Okay, please tell Mr. Lin what the conditions are."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and stretched out three fingers towards the other party.

"First, I need a three-year loan of US$2 billion. Second, after it is completed, I will acquire all of your shares in Universal Pictures at a price not lower than the market price. Third, I would like to ask

Mr. Foden goes to Hong Kong."

"no……"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Old Lawrence directly rejected the conditions proposed by Lin Daoqiu.

But the problem is, Lin Daoqiu doesn't know which one he objects to.

Old Lawrence didn't look very happy. He frowned. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu said something that made him very unhappy.

"Mr. Lin, we need to discuss your conditions, please wait a moment."

Foden leaned into Old Lawrence's ear and didn't know what he said. The two of them stood up and left the table directly.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded, said please, then lowered his head and continued to eat the steak.

After Foden and Lawrence Sr. walked into the next room and closed the door, Lawrence Sr. yelled angrily.

"This bastard is basically extorting money from us. He actually wants you to go to Xiangjiang. This is simply a joke on me. I will never allow it."

Lin Daoqiu probably didn't expect that what dissatisfied Old Lawrence the most was the third condition he offered.
