Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1099 Be patient
Regarding the price of 15 billion offered by Kirk Kerkorian, Lin Daoqiu's face did not fluctuate at all, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

Kirk Kerkorian originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would be shocked by the price he offered, or he would refute himself in a hurry, listing a series of examples to tell himself that MGM was not worth 15 billion.

But what Kirk Kerkorian never expected was that Lin Daoqiu didn't even say a word. After hearing the price he offered, he just smiled faintly, that's all.

"What do you think of Mr. Lin? I think the price of 15 billion is very fair. If you are interested, we can continue the discussion."

Kirk Kerkorian was testing Lin Daoqiu's attitude. He wanted to know what the other party's reserve price was.

"My thoughts are not much different from Mr. Kirk's thoughts on [-] million and [-] million just now."

Lin Daoqiu would never start talking about the price of 15 billion at all. He didn't expect to spend hundreds of millions more in the end.

"Mr. Lin is really humorous, but this time I am very serious. The price of 15 billion is my bottom line."

Although Kirk Kerkorian said so, it is impossible for him to insist on the price of 15 billion, unless he is crazy, or he does not intend to sell MGM at all.

Lin Daoqiu could only shrug his shoulders. He felt that Kirk Kerkorian must think that he was young and easy to bully, and wanted to overwhelm him in momentum and scare him into panic.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu's mood at this time is very stable, there is no ups and downs at all, and the expression on his face is also very calm.

"If it were me, I would have the same idea as Mr. Kirk, but unfortunately I am not you, so I will not spend 15 billion to buy MGM. This is also my bottom line."

From the very beginning, the two of them had no way to get along, and there seemed to be no chance of even being on the negotiating table.

"Then I can only say sorry for making Mr. Lin go for nothing."

"It's okay. It's an honor to meet Mr. Kirk. It's not a waste of time."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up.

The first meeting was just a trial, and Lin Daoqiu never thought about making any progress today.

Kirk Kerkorian didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so impatient, scaring him away with just a few words?Or is he trying to retreat?

Not knowing what Lin Daoqiu was thinking, Kirk Kerkorian stood up and shook hands with him.

Then Lin Daoqiu left without knowing it.

Seeing the back of Lin Daoqiu leaving, Kirk Kerkorian didn't seem very happy.

In fact, even if Lin Daoqiu didn't come today, Kirk Kerkorian would still sell MGM and invest the money in his gambling business in a short time.

…………

Back in LA, Langmeyer came straight to the door. He wanted to know how Lin Daoqiu went to see Kirk Kerkorian.

"There is no progress. The other party offered 15 billion. I don't think there is any need to continue the negotiation, so I came back."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to waste his time on meaningless things, he planned to put Kirk Kerkorian aside first.

Anyway, Lin Daoqiu estimated that it would take at least a year to acquire MGM, and it is just the beginning. He has enough patience and time to take it slowly.

"15 billion? That guy is really whimsical."

Hearing that Kirk Kerkorian offered 15 billion, Langmeyer couldn't help laughing.

If Lin Daoqiu really bought MGM for 15 billion, he would definitely be regarded as a big fool and a big idiot.

"You can't say that. After all, I took the initiative to find him. It's normal for him to ask for a price."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think there was anything wrong with Kirk Kerkorian's outrageous price of 15 billion.

If it weren't for the "Paramount Act", MGM's price might be more than 15 billion.

In recent years, the "Paramount Act" has begun to loosen, and the previous situation where studios were not allowed to control movies will be gone forever.

The best time for Lin Daoqiu to acquire MGM is now. If it is slower, if it is bought by others in two years, the price he wants to sell will be more than 15 billion.

"Kirk Kerkorian is not easy to get along with, and he has a casino as a financial aid, so there will be no shortage of funds in a short period of time. I am afraid that you will need to pay more attention to buying MGM."

Langmeyer felt that it was not an easy task for Lin Daoqiu to buy MGM.

Especially Kirk Kerkorian is definitely not an easy person to get along with. He is a bit old and stubborn, and he still has money in his hand.

If he wants to change his mind and sell MGM for less than 15 billion, Lin Daoqiu may have to prepare for a long battle.

If you want to solve this matter as soon as possible, the only way is to spend more money, but this is obviously impossible for Lin Daoqiu.

"Of course I know this, but I'm not in a hurry to negotiate with Kirk Kerkorian now. I can wait, and he won't be short of money all the time."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't think that Kirk Kerkorian will really have no shortage of money, but it's just that there is no shortage now, but it doesn't mean that there will be no shortage in the future.

As long as he has sufficient funds in his hands, if there is any problem with Kirk Kerkorian, Lin Daoqiu can go directly to the door and talk to him about MGM.

"Do you really think so? Then I think you may have to wait for a long time."

Langmeyer is not too optimistic about this, but Lin Daoqiu's inability to buy MGM is actually a good thing for Universal.

After all, they now share [-]/[-] with Lin Daoqiu, especially like this time in "Godzilla".

If Lin Daoqiu bought MGM at that time, then I am afraid that the way of sharing will not be the same as it is now.

"Don't worry, what I have is patience, and if I am asked to spend one billion to buy MGM now, I will not be able to do it."

Lin Daoqiu doesn't have a billion dollars in his hands now. He just bought the shares of Xiangjiang Electric before. It is simply impossible for him to spend one billion dollars now.

"God knows what you think, but if there's anything you need my help for, just ask."

Langmeyer didn't know what Lin Daoqiu was thinking, but all he could do was to provide some help to the other party.

As for the financial problem, that is not where Langmeyer can help, he can only help.
