Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1101
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Lin Daoqiu, Ashley knows very well that if there is no way to reach an agreement with Lin Daoqiu today, he must be the one who is unlucky.

"Okay, I won't mention who broke this matter for the time being. I met Mr. Lin today to talk about the share."

Ashley was certain in his heart that it was Lin Daoqiu who spread the news, no matter how the other party explained it, he would not believe it.

And Lin Daoqiu was not interested in explaining to Ashley. After all, he and Warner had only cooperated once, and it was four years ago, and the two sides had no friendship.

In this case, no matter how much Ashley hated himself, Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to care about it.

"Speak, I'm listening."

Lin Daoqiu nodded, and Ashley then took out a contract and handed it to the other party.

After accepting the other party's contract, Lin Daoqiu looked down.

But after waiting for 2 minutes, he suddenly threw the contract on the table.

"Excuse me, does the [-]-[-]% mean that I get [-]%?"

Lin Daoqiu asked with a smile.

Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for Ashley to mean this. The [-]% in it naturally refers to the [-]% for Warner.

"Mr. Lin really knows how to joke. It is only natural that Warner took out [-]% of its theater chains to help release "Godzilla"."

At this time, Ashley was still unwilling to bow his head to Lin Daoqiu, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​being equal to him.

"Mr. Ashley, please listen carefully, now you are begging me, not me begging you, understand?"

Lin Daoqiu's words made Ashley so angry that his brows kept shaking. This guy is really extremely arrogant. He dared to say such things in front of him. What kind of thing is he?

"Lin Daoqiu, this is Hollywood, not Xiangjiang, and it's not a place where you can run wild. I advise you to figure this out."

Ashley was angry, but Lin Daoqiu acted wildly in front of him, who did he think he was?Think you can do whatever you want here just by making a few blockbuster movies?It is simply whimsical.

"Ashley, you are just the president of Warner, not the boss of Warner. Please understand this. You are just a part-time worker and have no right to be arrogant in front of me."

Lin Daoqiu was also very upset. Actually, he and Ashley didn't have a big feud, but they didn't sell the copyright of "Mission Impossible" to Warner at the beginning.

As a result, this guy had a prejudice against himself because of this matter, and now he said that he was arrogant, which was simply turning black and white.

Although Ashley has a lot of influence in Warner, in the final analysis, Warner's boss is Steve Ross, not him Ashley.

Since taking over Warner, Ashley has never met a filmmaker who dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

And Lin Daoqiu is so young, coupled with his identity as a Xiangjiang native, this made Ashley even more angry.

If it wasn't for the pressure from those theater bosses, Ashley would have walked away long ago, why would he sit here and continue chatting with Lin Daoqiu.

"I think we all need to calm down a bit. In this way, if I make a concession, four or six points, Mr. Lin should be satisfied."

Ashley felt that he was willing to give in at this time, and Lin Daoqiu should be grateful to Dade.

But it's a pity that for Lin Daoqiu, his concession is basically taking advantage of him, and after taking it, he wants to make himself grateful. This guy is really a showman.

"I'm very satisfied with the split of four or six, but it's me six and you four. If Mr. Ashley agrees, then we will cooperate. If not, I can find another company to cooperate."

The total number of screens in Warner's hands is only in the early four thousand, and there is no advantage at all compared with Universal and Fox.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu wanted to cooperate with Warner at the beginning was just to make more money.

But Ashley's attitude made Lin Daoqiu very dissatisfied. If he doesn't cooperate with Warner, can't he find another company to cooperate with?
"Mr. Lin, I advise you to give up this idea. It is absolutely impossible for you to get [-]% of the share."

Ashley felt that Lin Daoqiu was messing around. It was impossible for anyone in Hollywood to give him [-]% of the share.

If it weren't for the popularity of "Godzilla", I wouldn't have been humiliated by Lin Daoqiu like this, let alone come to talk to him about these things in person.

"Mr. Ashley, Warner isn't the only one that has theaters in Hollywood. I can find other people to cooperate with, but I'm afraid your pressure will not be comparable to what it is now."

Lin Daoqiu sees the problem more thoroughly. If there is no way to negotiate this time, Ashley will definitely be under more pressure when he goes back.

The best way is to reach an agreement with himself, so that when he goes back, he can also deal with the bosses of those theaters.

And Lin Daoqiu's words really hit Ashley's weakness at once. He was really worried that if the negotiation failed this time, he wouldn't know how to face those guys when he went back.

"what on earth do you want?"

The feeling of being seen through by the other party is very bad. Ashley feels that Lin Daoqiu seems to be taking every step of the way, pushing himself into a corner step by step.

If he doesn't agree now, he doesn't know what will happen then.

We must know that Warner Company is not of one mind, and others are watching its own position.

If it weren't for the fact that he was highly valued by Steve Ross, the Warner President's seat might not be secure at all.

"It's very simple. I'll be six and you four. If you can, we'll cooperate. If you can't, we'll see you again. I don't have much time. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Mr. Ashley."

Lin Daoqiu is not a person who likes to push others, but the problem now is that Ashley is too aggressive, he is really upset, so he decided to teach the other party a lesson.

"Sixty percent is absolutely impossible. I think otherwise, [-]% to [-]% is the best proposal. I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?"

Ashley didn't have any better solution at this time. In the end, he could only come up with the proposal of a [-]-[-] share, so that he could give those people an explanation after going back.

If I agree to Lin Daoqiu's [-]% share now, then when I go back and tell this matter, the bosses of those theaters will definitely jump up and accuse him of incompetence. This is a situation Ashley absolutely does not want to see .

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu didn't want to give Ashley this face, and he wouldn't make changes to the things he had already decided.

"I'm sorry, [-]% is [-]%, I won't change it anymore, I still have things to deal with, so I'm leaving first."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude was very firm. After he finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

And when Lin Daoqiu had just walked out a few steps, Ashley's depressed voice came from behind him.

"Sixty percent sixty percent, Mr. Lin, you won..."

Ashley lowered his head unwillingly. Compared with the share, the inability to reach an agreement with Lin Daoqiu was the biggest threat to him, so this time he had to bow his head to Lin Daoqiu.
