Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Do you think Lin Daoqiu is from over there?"

Looking at Lin Daoqiu's leaving figure, Joel asked the people around him in a low voice.

"I don't know. Just what he said just now is not enough to reveal his tendency, but to be honest, Xiangjiang may not be that important to him."

Although it was impossible to tell which side Lin Daoqiu was from, the statements he just made made Brown and others feel that what he said was reasonable.

"Lin Daoqiu has now embraced the Americans. Even if there is a big change in Xiangjiang, it will not have a great impact on him."

Manager Meng, who had been silent until now, suddenly brought the topic to Foden.

These words of Manager Meng, combined with what Lin Daoqiu said just now, can be said to fit together perfectly.

"Hmph...it seems that Mr. Lin is really a pure businessman."

Joel looked disdainful, but he might have forgotten that when he was talking about others, he was doing the same thing himself.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Brown and the others thought about him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't have too many ideas.

Just because those guys wanted to force themselves into position, they were a little too naive.

Yihe and Dagu are indeed the two most famous and strongest British-owned super companies in Hong Kong.

But for Lin Daoqiu, this is also because they have not encountered too strong opponents before, so they have been developing smoothly like this.

Today's England is no longer the same as it was back then. If we still want to rule everything as we did then, it is almost impossible.

"How was the chat? You didn't seem very happy."

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Foden noticed that the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face did not look very happy.

"It's nothing, I just met a few idiots."

Lin Daoqiu was not prepared to talk more about these matters with Foden. After all, the relationship between them was far from that close.

Foden just smiled at this. Since Lin Daoqiu didn't want to say more, he naturally wouldn't break the pot and ask the truth. After all, he is not the kind of person who is very gossipy.

On the other side, Brown invited Sean aside and reported to Sean in detail what Lin Daoqiu had just talked with them.

After listening to Foden's words, Sean's brows slowly wrinkled.

"Lin Daoqiu is unwilling to speak out for us? Is it just because he doesn't pay too much attention to Xiangjiang?"

Sean and Brown had different ideas. He felt that Lin Daoqiu's unwillingness to help might have a deeper intention, such as that he was from there.

"Sir, I think what Mr. Lin said is quite reasonable."

Unexpectedly, Brown would speak for Lin Daoqiu, and Sean looked at him with confusion.

Faced with Sean's confused look, Brown quickly explained to him.

"After Bao Shaogang intervened in the Xiangjiang film industry, Lin Daoqiu was forced to disband the Xiangjiang Cinema Chain. In Hollywood, the box office of one of his movies is equivalent to thirty movies shot here. If it were you, what would you choose?

?”

When asked by Brown, Sean was immediately speechless.

In fact, there is no need for Sean to answer this question, because the facts are already in front of you.

Anyone with a little bit of brains would definitely choose to invest most of their energy in Hollywood instead of wasting it in Hong Kong.

"In that case, it is almost impossible to win over Lin Daoqiu, right?"

If possible, Sean still hopes that Lin Daoqiu can become their person and stand on their side.

After all, having Lin Daoqiu, a person with a very high reputation among the people, join them, which is like adding more power to them.

"Unless we can offer him a price he can't refuse, he probably won't agree to cooperate with us."

"A price you can't refuse?"

Sean seemed to be chewing on Brown's proposal.

After a while, he suddenly shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Forget it, let's do this for the time being. After the lady's visit, we will act according to the situation."

Unlike others, for Sean, others may not know the high-level affairs of Yingjili, but as the chairman of Yihe, he still knows the inside story that many people don't know.

Sean already knew clearly even the time of the lady's visit.

After running through the whole cocktail party, Foden gained a lot. All the business cards he brought with him had been distributed. In contrast, Foden also gained a pocket full of business cards.

However, compared with Foden, Lin Daoqiu is much quieter. He has been sitting in a chair drinking and rarely gets up, as if he is just here to drink.

"Mr. Lin, if you don't mind, I would like to have a chat with you. Is it convenient for you?"

Just as Lin Daoqiu was looking at the dance floor in a daze, a man's voice suddenly came from next to him.

Lin Daoqiu looked back and found that the person speaking was Manager Meng of Zha Da Bank whom he had just met.

"Mr. Meng, please sit down. I'm a very boring person. If you don't think I'm boring, of course I won't refuse."

Lin Daoqiu actually didn't like Manager Meng very much, because in Lin Daoqiu's eyes, these guys were all colluding and trying their best to cause trouble for their superiors.

People like Brown are all British-owned, and Lin Daoqiu can understand why they would do this.

But this Manager Meng knew at a glance that he was from Xiangjiang. It would be fine if he didn't help his own people. He didn't expect that he was doing such things that betrayed his ancestors. He was simply a bastard.

How could Lin Daoqiu have any opinion on such a person?

If it weren't for the fear of being noticed by the other party, Lin Daoqiu would not even pay attention to these people.

"In the past, Mr. Lin had always been a show-off, rarely attending cocktail parties like this. Today he was suddenly invited. I wonder why?"

Manager Meng seemed to suspect that Lin Daoqiu had other motives for attending the reception today.

"The Lawrence family feels that Xiangjiang has great potential and is ready to invest here. As the heir to the family, Mr. Foden went to Xiangjiang to inspect. I, a good friend, accompanied him. Is there any problem?"

Lin Daoqiu felt that Manager Meng suddenly came to chat with him. He knew without guessing that this guy must have been assigned by someone to test him.

Lin Daoqiu would naturally not be too polite to such a person.

Manager Meng didn't comment much on Lin Daoqiu's explanation. Instead, he suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Lin is really good at joking, but what you just said, even if you can deceive Brown and the others, you can't deceive me..."
