Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1256 An Unimaginable Future

As soon as the preoccupied Qiu Dagen came home, he met Qiu Dagen in the living room.

"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

Qiu Dagen felt a little surprised, usually Qiu Dagen would be busy in the company until the evening before coming back, but now he has returned home before it is time to get off work.

Qiu Degen put down the newspaper in his hand, then pointed to the sofa opposite to him and motioned Qiu Dagen to sit there.

After Qiu Dagen sat down, Qiu Degen spoke slowly.

"Have you met Lin Daoqiu?"

It was not long before Qiu Degen knew about the meeting between Qiu Dagen and Lin Daoqiu.

For this matter, Qiu Degen got off work early and returned home to wait for Qiu Dagen.

Qiu Dagen didn't expect that Qiu Degen already knew about this matter, but he was only slightly surprised, and then he nodded and admitted.

"Looking at your appearance, you should have had an unpleasant conversation with Lin Daoqiu."

As soon as Qiu Dagen entered the door, Qiu Degen noticed the expression on his face. Judging from his expression when he entered the door, this meeting was obviously not a pleasant meeting for Qiu Dagen.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Dagen could see it at a glance, and Qiu Dagen nodded again.

As for the meeting between Qiu Dagen and Lin Daoqiu this time, Qiu Degen actually knew after hearing the news that it was absolutely impossible for his son to talk to Lin Daoqiu to come up with any results.

After all, he doesn't know how to sell ATV, and Lin Daoqiu wants to buy ATV again. This has become a deadlock. Unless one party backs down, this knot will never be untied.

"It has been five years since Lin Daoqiu and I bought ATV together. He has changed from a well-known screenwriter to a movie tycoon who is now a world-famous movie tycoon. I have to say that Lin Daoqiu is really capable."

No matter how much Qiu Degen was dissatisfied with Lin Daoqiu, judging from Lin Daoqiu's achievements in these years, the other party is indeed a very capable guy.

It's a pity that they originally cooperated very happily, even Qiu Dagen hoped that everyone could continue to cooperate like this, but Lin Daoqiu broke this balance.

"Dad, after meeting Mr. Lin this time, I found that he is absolutely certain to win ATV, and even...even to make us our enemy."

Qiu Dagen hesitated for a while, and then said what was in his heart.

In his opinion, Lin Daoqiu had long regarded ATV as his possession, and the reason why he teamed up with his father at the beginning was entirely because he couldn't take care of both.

Although these are just Lin Daoqiu's rhetoric, Qiu Dagen completely believes it. After all, judging from Lin Daoqiu's current achievements, it is normal for him to want to own a TV station of his own.

"An enemy? Hmph... I, Qiu Degen, have been doing business in Xiangjiang for so many years, and I have never been afraid of anyone."

Qiu Degen was not frightened, even if the opponent was Lin Daoqiu, he didn't have the slightest fear.

After all, after he bought ATV, his biggest enemy was Run Run Shaw's TVB. Back then, he wasn't even afraid of Run Run Shaw, so how could he be afraid of Lin Daoqiu.

"Father, I know what you are thinking, but Mr. Lin is different from Run Run Shaw. You must know that he is only 25 years old this year."

In terms of money, Lin Daoqiu at this time is not as rich as the Far East Group.

But in terms of age, Qiu Degen is more than three rounds older than Lin Daoqiu. This is Lin Daoqiu's biggest advantage. No one even dares to predict how brilliant Lin Daoqiu's future will be.

Qiu Degen was actually not willing to think about these things, but when Qiu Dagen said this, the domineering Qiu Degen showed before suddenly weakened a lot.

"Father, it is definitely not a good thing to be an enemy of Mr. Lin. To put it bluntly, if the Far East Group encounters any trouble at that time, Mr. Lin will definitely make trouble. This is what he hinted to me just now."

The age of Lin Daoqiu and himself is right there, Qiu Degen is not afraid of Lin Daoqiu now, but what about five or ten years from now?
At that time, Lin Daoqiu didn't know how far he had developed. If the Far East Group encountered any troubles at that time, Lin Daoqiu would make trouble, and I'm afraid it would not only be a headache for them.

"Besides, without Mr. Lin's ATV, the revenue will definitely drop sharply. Although we have turned a profit this year, it is inevitable that ATV will suffer losses next year without Mr. Lin's help."

Running a TV station that doesn't make money, and loses money every year, is something no normal businessman would do.

In fact, after running ATV for the past five years, Qiu Degen has not made any money from ATV at all, and he has even invested a lot of money in it so far.

"Father, I think the best choice now is to sell ATV to Mr. Lin at a high price. This may be our only correct choice."

Qiu Dagen insisted on persuading Qiu Degen to sell ATV to Lin Daoqiu, but Qiu Degen was obviously unwilling to do so.

"Nonsense. Even without Lin Daoqiu's help, ATV is still ATV and will never fail. Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for me to sell ATV to Lin Daoqiu."

After Qiu Dagen finished speaking, he got up directly, and then walked upstairs. It seemed that he was obviously not interested in continuing to discuss this matter with Qiu Dagen.

Looking at the back of Qiu Degen going upstairs, Qiu Dagen couldn't help but shook his head, and then sighed softly.

…………

After meeting with Qiu Dagen, Lin Daoqiu didn't get any positive response. It seems that Qiu Dagen failed to convince Qiu Degen, or they didn't intend to sell ATV to themselves at all.

But no matter what, for ATV, Lin Daoqiu can be said to be sure to win, and it is only a matter of time before it is taken down.

As for how long to wait, it depends on how quickly Lin Daoqiu's patience wears off.

Putting the ATV matter aside for the time being, this is not the first thing Lin Daoqiu has to deal with now. His top priority now is to finish filming "The Meeting of Heroes" as soon as possible.

Because he had already promised Zhong Chuhong to shoot "Untouchable Lovers", so after the filming of "The Meeting of Heroes", Lin Daoqiu will take Zhong Chuhong to leave Xiangjiang to film this movie.

Lin Daoqiu asked Teddy Robin to adapt the tune of the original "Rose, Rose" and play it with brisk jazz.

And Teddy Robin has not been idle these days, he re-arranged the tune of the song according to Lin Daoqiu's request, and added the jazz music requested by Lin Daoqiu.

I have to say that the re-arranged piece makes people feel very different after listening to it. It can be said that it is two completely different pieces of music from the original piece.

And Huang Zhan's writing speed is also very fast. According to the original lyrics of "Rose, Rose", the lyrics for the Cantonese version were written in less than two days.

Lin Daoqiu is very satisfied that they can have such a high efficiency.

　Thank you, Shenzhoufeng, the simple and honest Dashengye, the past can never be recovered, everyone's big monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
