Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1117 The New Oriental Act

Not only Pan Disheng, but even Zou Wenhuai didn't understand what Run Run Shaw meant.

After selling Di Bao to Lin Daoqiu, he will control the largest theater chain in Xiangjiang, plus New Oriental and Moli Studio, who else in Xiangjiang can compete with him?
At this time, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng both decided on one thing in their minds, that is, this meeting, Lin Daoqiu must have given Uncle Six a lot of benefits, so he came to help Lin Daoqiu to say these things.

"Uncle Six, I don't know what benefits Lin Daoqiu has given you. If I can ask you to help him explain this, the price he offered must not be low, right?"

Pan Disheng obviously didn't believe what Run Run Shaw said just now, because he simply regarded himself as mentally handicapped.

"Lin Daoqiu didn't give me any favors. I'm telling the truth. I hope Mr. Pan will not doubt this."

If it was someone else's words, Pan Disheng would not believe it, but it was Run Run Shaw who said it, which made it difficult for him to judge.

"It's impossible for me to sell Dibao, Uncle Six should stop talking."

Regardless of whether Run Run Shaw accepted Lin Daoqiu's request, Pan Disheng would never sell Di Bao to him anyway.

And Pan Disheng's answer was that Run Run Shaw had already guessed it before he came, so he was not surprised at all.

"Mr. Pan, it's like a mountain. You're not in the film business. There's no need to be stubborn here. Di Bao will only lose money if you continue to do it. You should be very clear about it."

Fang Yihua began to persuade Pan Disheng.

But Pan Disheng couldn't listen to Fang Yathua's words at all, he just wanted to defeat Lin Daoqiu and show Michelle Yeoh who is the real man.

"Mr. Pan, if you really don't want to accept our proposal, then you will regret it later."

"What does Miss Fang mean by this sentence? Why do I hear something wrong?"

Pan Disheng looked at the other party and sneered.

Because Fang Yihua's words sounded like a hint of threat.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a shortage of advertising space for Wireless Future, and we may not be able to take over Dibao's business. Also, Dibao and Disheng may encounter a lot of trouble in the future."

If you can't be soft, you can be tough. Although Fang Yat-wah didn't say it clearly, with Run Run Shaw's influence in Xiangjiang, it is easy to create some difficulties for Pan Disheng's company.

Moreover, Run Run Shaw's network in Xiangjiang was far stronger than that of Pan Disheng and his family, which was far beyond Pan Disheng's ability to compete.

"It seems that Sixth Uncle and Miss Fang are threatening me. If you don't sell Di Bao to Lin Daoqiu, then you will make me fight?"

Pan Disheng was very angry. The reason for his anger was that he had nothing to do with Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat Hua.

Run Run Shaw didn't speak, just sat there with his eyes closed.

"Okay... okay... If that's the case, let's wait and see, I, Pan Disheng, will not compromise."

Pan Disheng got up immediately after speaking, and then walked out quickly.

It seems that today's negotiation did not result in a satisfactory result for Run Run Shaw.

But Run Run Shaw was not worried at all, even though Pan Disheng acted so tough, in the end he could only bow his head under the general situation.

"Uncle Six, do you want me to sell Golden Harvest Cinemas to Mr. Lin?"

After Pan Disheng left, only Zou Wenhuai was left at the scene.

Judging from the logic just now, Run Run Shaw might really want to persuade himself to sell Golden Harvest Cinemas to Lin Daoqiu.

However, compared with Pan Disheng, he is obviously more difficult to deal with. If the sixth uncle wants to use his brains on himself, I am afraid that he will have to think more.

"I didn't mean that, Wen Huai, I asked you out today because I wanted to chat with you about cooperation."

"Cooperation? Is there anything we can cooperate with Uncle Six?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't understand what Run Run Shaw meant. He had neither a film company nor a theater chain in his hands.

And just now Run Run Shaw asked Pan Disheng to sell Di Bao to Lin Daoqiu to prove that he had no intention of buying the theater chain. If that was the case, then what good cooperation could there be for him and Run Run Shaw?

"Lin Daoqiu now controls Xiangjiang Cinemas, and sooner or later Golden Harvest will be annexed by him. Don't you want to change this situation?"

Zou Wenhuai doesn't want to change, but the problem now is that Lin Daoqiu has a strong army, has money and technology in his hand, Jiahe can't be his opponent at all.

If Golden Harvest had any chance at that time, it would not have formed Xiangjiang Cinemas with Lin Daoqiu, and then made Lin Daoqiu the majority shareholder.

"Wen Huai is dull, and I really can't think of any good solution, but it sounds like Uncle Six must have some tricks up his sleeve, right?"

Zou Wenhuai suddenly felt that it might not necessarily be a bad result for him when Run Run Shaw asked them out this time.

"Lin Daoqiu is very strong, almost to the point of dominating the Xiangjiang film circle, but it is very easy to solve him. You should have heard of the "Paramount Act."

As soon as Run Run Shaw said this, Zou Wenhuai stood up from his chair in shock.

The reason why the "Paramount Act" was originally established was to curb the vertical monopoly of major studios, and major Hollywood production companies were forced to separate the business of film distribution and cinema screening.

Lin Daoqiu now has a theater chain and a film company in his hands. If Xiangjiang comes out with a "New Oriental Act", then Lin Daoqiu will have to give up the theater chain.

"I don't know how sure Uncle Six is?"

Although Zou Wenhuai asked like this, but with the influence of the sixth uncle in Xiangjiang and the relationship with Yingjili, it would not be too difficult to accomplish this matter.

"As long as you stand up and support it, there will be at least [-]%."

Run Run Shaw went on to say: "Let Lin Daoqiu be in charge of production and distribution, and we control the theaters. It's better for everyone to strike a balance than to let him monopolize everything."

The method proposed by Run Run Shaw was indeed very damaging, but it must be said that as long as those guys from England were dealt with, it would indeed be a major blow to Lin Daoqiu.

"Wen Huai, you don't have many celebrities left. Even if Xu Guanwen returns to Golden Harvest, how can it help you? I hope you can seriously consider my suggestion."

It has to be said that Run Run Shaw's method is indeed the only way to deal with Lin Daoqiu now, so that he will not become a giant in the Xiangjiang film circle.

Once she refuses, from now on, Jiahe will have no chance of turning over.

"I need a moment to think about..."

Zou Wenhuai was obviously moved, but this decision was too important, he needed to go back and discuss it with He Guanchang before making a decision.
