Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Originally, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had discussed this matter before.

They even planned to discuss it with Bao Shaogang first. If he wanted to sell the theater, he must sell it to Jiahe.

But what they never expected was that this happened faster than they expected.

"I wonder where Mr. Bao is now? If the Kowloon Cinema Chain is to be sold, it would be more appropriate for him to negotiate it himself."

It's not that He Guanchang can't trust Shi Wenyan, but for such a big deal, it would be very inappropriate for Bao Shaogang, as the boss of Kowloon Cinemas, not to come forward.

"It's not convenient for Mr. Bao to come here now. He personally told me about the sale of the Kowloon Cinema Line. You don't have to doubt this."

Bao Shaogang's secretary was also present, so his words naturally represented Bao Shaogang's meaning.

With Shi Wenyan and Bao Shaogang's secretaries present, He Guanchang wouldn't worry that they were making fun of him.

But what He Guanchang really can't understand is that just because "Teppanyaki" lost to Lin Daoqiu, Bao Shaogang was eager to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line. This is simply unreasonable.

Although he vaguely sensed that something big must have happened on Bao Shaogang's side, He Guanchang couldn't guess what it was at the moment.

"Of course I won't doubt what you two said. In that case, let's start talking."

By purchasing the Kowloon Cinema Line, Golden Harvest's strength will be doubled.

In Hong Kong, whoever can control enough theaters will be the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry.

However, one thing that is disadvantageous to Golden Harvest is that even if they buy the Kowloon Cinema Line, the stars and production quality they have are still far behind New Oriental.

If it operates alone, it will still be in a state of loss like Baojia Cinemas.

Therefore, they must join forces with Lin Daoqiu to form a new joint cinema chain.

But Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang knew very well that Lin Daoqiu would never succumb to others, which was also a headache for them.

In the first contact, He Guanchang showed sufficient interest in Kowloon Cinemas, and it was only a matter of time before the deal was concluded.

After returning to Jiahe, He Guanchang went directly to Zou Wenhuai's office and reported to him the progress of today's negotiations.

"There must be something wrong with Bao Shaogang, but now is also a good opportunity for us. As long as we buy the Kowloon Cinema Line, we will be invincible."

He Guanchang's reasoning is very simple. No matter what happens now, he must first buy the Kowloon Cinema Chain.

As for Lin Daoqiu, they will figure out a solution at that time.

"I wonder if this is possible. The cooperation with Lin Daoqiu should continue the previous model of Xiangjiang Cinemas, with him as the boss and us as the major shareholders."

Zou Wenhuai's idea is indeed wonderful. Lin Daoqiu wants to be famous, so let him take care of the Xiangjiang Cinema Line.

He is the boss, let him be the decision-maker, and let him help him make money. In this way, Jiahe naturally does not have to worry about income.

"I don't think Lin Daoqiu can agree to our conditions."

He Guanchang directly rejected Zou Wenhuai's proposal without even thinking about it.

In his opinion, Lin Daoqiu has a very strong desire to control. If he wants to reorganize the Xiangjiang Cinema Line, he will definitely make a fuss about the Kowloon Cinema Line.

"The matter has reached this point, and he can't change the reality if he doesn't agree. I think you should have a talk with him and find out what he says."

Zou Wenhuai is not anxious at all. Anyway, as long as the Kowloon Cinema Chain is bought by then, it will definitely be Lin Daoqiu who is anxious, not them.

He Guanchang actually had an idea in his heart that he was ready to share with Zou Wenhuai, but the other party said so, so he could only swallow what he wanted to say.

In fact, He Guanchang wanted to acquire the Kowloon Cinema Chain together, and when the time came to reorganize the Xiangjiang Cinema Chain, let Lin Daoqiu take the majority.

Jiahe must account for at least 45%. Perhaps only in this way will Lin Daoqiu choose to cooperate with them.

After returning to his office, not long after he sat down, his secretary walked in and told He Guanchang what Lin Daoqiu had just called.

"I know, you go and do your work first."

After He Guanchang asked his secretary to exit, he immediately called Lin Daoqiu back.

"Mr. Lin, why did you call me when you had time?"

He Guanchang did not think that Lin Daoqiu had already known about Bao Shaogang's plan to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line. After all, very few people knew about this matter.

He originally thought that Lin Daoqiu came to him because he had something else to discuss.

"Mr. He, if I guessed correctly, you should have gone to the Kowloon Cinemas just now."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said these words, He Guanchang was so shocked that his eyes widened.

"Mr. Lin sent someone to follow me?"

This was the first idea that came to He Guanchang's mind.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't sent someone to follow him, how would he have known about his trip to Kowloon Cinema?

"Mr. He thinks too much. How could I send someone to follow you? I don't have any deep grudge against you."

Lin Daoqiu replied with a smile.

At this time, He Guanchang was still in shock. He could not figure out how Lin Daoqiu knew that he had gone to Kowloon Cinema.

"Mr. He, actually the reason why I made this call is very simple. I hope Golden Harvest can give me the Kowloon Cinema Line."

Domineering, He Guanchang felt for the first time that Lin Daoqiu was such a domineering guy.

While he was shocked to know that Bao Shaogang was planning to sell the Kowloon cinema chain, He Guanchang did not expect Lin Daoqiu to make such an outrageous request.

If Lin Daoqiu is allowed to buy out the Kowloon Cinema Line, Jiahe will probably have to succumb to Lin Daoqiu forever in the future in Xiangjiang. This is something they never want to see.

"Mr. Lin, I might as well tell you honestly that Golden Harvest, the Kowloon Cinema Line, is determined to win."

Lin Daoqiu was not too surprised by He Guanchang's answer.

After all, buying the Kowloon Cinema Chain is of extraordinary significance to both Golden Harvest and New Oriental.

"Mr. He, if Golden Harvest buys the Kowloon Cinema Chain, then we may never have any possibility of cooperation in the future."

"Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?"

He Guanchang frowned immediately because Lin Daoqiu said this, clearly threatening him.

"If there is a better way, I don't want to say this. Mr. He should know that I am a man of my word. I hope you will consider what I say carefully."

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that He Guanchang was not the one who could make the final decision, and it was Zou Wenhuai who could ultimately decide the matter.

The purpose of his call was actually very simple, which was to put pressure on Jiahe.

If they insist on buying the Kowloon Cinema Line, then Lin Daoqiu wouldn't mind playing with them for a few more years, but I don't know if Golden Harvest is interested in it.
