Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After putting down the phone, He Guanchang looked sad.

He didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to know so quickly that Bao Shaogang was going to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line.

If you can give them some time, the deal can be completed without anyone noticing.

By that time, even if Lin Daoqiu knew about it, he would not be able to intervene in the matter at that time.

But now, there are only two roads before Jiahe.

The first is to buy the Kowloon Cinema Chain, and then continue to fight with Lin Daoqiu. If it doesn't work for one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work for two years, it will be five years.

Another way is to split the Kowloon Cinema Line into parts and sell them to Lin Daoqiu.

As for whether the share left in Jiahe's hands is more or less, it depends on the outcome of the negotiations.

He shook his head, quickly stood up and left his office.

He Guanchang must discuss this matter with Zou Wenhuai as soon as possible.

He Guanchang turned back not long after he left, which made Zou Wenhuai realize that something might have happened.

"Lin Daoqiu already knows that we are going to buy the Kowloon Cinema Chain."

As soon as He Guanchang entered the door, he said something that Zou Wenhuai least expected to hear.

"How did he know?"

Zou Wenhuai really couldn't understand how Lin Daoqiu could have received the news so quickly because this matter was so secret.

He Guanchang shook his head. He didn't know how Lin Daoqiu knew.

"Mr. Zou, it is useless to pursue this matter now. Lin Daoqiu said that if we buy the Kowloon Cinema Line, there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future."

Zou Wenhuai is by no means a person who is easily threatened by others.

Ever since he left Shaw Brothers and started Jiahe with He Guanchang and Liang Feng, he has never seen any big storms.

Compared to Lin Daoqiu, Sixth Uncle put more pressure on them before. Zou Wenhuai didn't flinch back then, and even more so now.

"Ignore him. After we buy the Kowloon Cinema Chain, we will think of ways to lure Sanmao and the others back. Then Lin Daoqiu will naturally not have anything to worry about."

Although Zou Wenhuai said so, he didn't think so in his heart.

If Sammo Hung and the others were so easy to poach, Baojia Cinema would have overwhelmed New Oriental by now.

Jiahe had already joined forces with Bao Shaogang, but they couldn't do anything to Lin Daoqiu.

Now it is obviously even more impossible for the Jiahe family alone to defeat Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Zou, I don't know whether to say something or not."

He Guanchang thought for a while and decided to express his thoughts.

"Well... you tell me."

Zou Wenhuai raised his head and glanced at He Guanchang, then nodded.

"Opposing Lin Daoqiu will do us no good at all, but cooperating with him will bring us a lot of benefits. Since the establishment of Baojia Cinemas, the income has not been as good as before. I believe you are also aware of the reason."

He Guanchang's words made Zou Wenhuai become silent all of a sudden.

If possible, Zou Wenhuai certainly hopes to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

But the problem now is that if the Kowloon Cinema Line is given to Lin Daoqiu, then Jiahe will always have to succumb to Lin Daoqiu in Hong Kong from now on.

And the other party is still so young, but Zou Wenhuai is already 56 years old.

If we give in at this time, it will be equivalent to handing over Xiangjiang's film industry to Lin Daoqiu, which is what Zou Wenhuai least wants to see.

"Hey... I don't know this, but Guanchang, if you give up the Kowloon Cinema line to Lin Daoqiu, Jiahe will never have the possibility to get ahead in the future."

Naturally, He Guanchang was well aware of Zou Wenhuai's concerns.

"Instead of choosing to confront Lin Daoqiu, we can actually find a way to let Lin Daoqiu increase our strength."

"How?"

He Guanchang's words immediately aroused Zou Wenhuai's interest.

"Ask him to provide Aaron with three Hollywood scripts. In addition, when the Xiangjiang Cinema Chain is reorganized, we must hold 45% of the shares. Also, actors within the Xiangjiang Cinema Chain can move freely without any restrictions."

The methods He Guanchang thought of can be said to be the most beneficial and the best conditions for Jiahe.

Once Lin Daoqiu really agrees, they will be invincible to Jiahe.

"Do you think Lin Daoqiu will agree to the conditions we propose?"

Zou Wenhuai has been persuaded by the conditions proposed by He Guanchang, but the question now is what if Lin Daoqiu does not agree by then.

"Mr. Zou, I believe he will agree. It is only a matter of time."

He Guanchang seemed very confident. He felt that Lin Daoqiu had been thinking about reorganizing the Hong Kong cinema chain and becoming the helmsman of the Hong Kong film industry.

Although these conditions do not seem to be very favorable to Lin Daoqiu, He Guanchang believes that he will definitely consider them seriously.

As long as Jiahe can afford it, He Guanchang is not afraid that Lin Daoqiu will not agree.

"Well, go and talk to him. It would be best if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, then just postpone it."

Zou Wenhuai just wants to buy the Kowloon Cinema Line as soon as possible so that they can get a upper hand in the subsequent negotiations with Lin Daoqiu.

…………

The news that Bao Shaogang was about to sell the Kowloon Cinema Chain began to spread slowly two days later.

Regarding the game between the upper class figures, ordinary citizens and ordinary people working in the film and television industry view this matter with the mentality of watching a drama.

But for some, the news comes as a bolt from the blue.

At the filming site of "New Shushan Swordsman", Tsui Hark and Shi Tian were busy filming the next scenes.

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei suddenly walked in from the outside looking lost.

"Where have you been? Did you go drinking last night?"

As soon as Shi Tian saw Zeng Zhiwei's appearance, his face immediately showed a very dissatisfied expression.

"New Shushan Swordsman" will be finished soon, and now is the most critical moment for this drama.

He and Tsui Hark were busy filming on the set almost every day, but Eric Tsang went to drink and have fun. This was simply too much.

Zeng Zhiwei seemed not to hear Shi Tian's dissatisfaction.

He looks like a walking zombie now, looking lifeless.

Tsui Hark was not as angry as Shi Tian, ​​but he could see that Zeng Zhiwei seemed a little different today.

"Did something happen?"

Tsui Hark's first reaction was that something must have happened, otherwise Eric Tsang would never look like this.

Eric Tsang did not answer Tsui Hark's question. He just nodded and stood there motionless.

"What happened, you should tell me quickly."

Shi Tian frowned, looking very dissatisfied.

"I just received news from Jiahe that Mr. Bao is preparing to sell the Kowloon Cinema Chain to Jiahe. I have inquired about it and it is true."

After Zeng Zhiwei finished speaking, only the word shock was left on the faces of Shi Tian and Tsui Hark.
