Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1525
"I can get 15 billion US dollars now, but after taking out this money, I'm afraid I'm not far from bankruptcy."

Lin Daoqiu's current liquidity is about 15 billion US dollars.

TV stations, film companies, record companies, magic studios, and mags need to burn money every day.

If Lin Daoqiu now satisfies the $15 billion offered by Kirk Kerkorian, then he may really fall into financial crisis.

"If you really want to buy MGM, I believe you can't think of other ways."

Among the properties in Lin Daoqiu's hands, the most valuable is the magic studio.

If he really wanted to buy MGM, as long as he sold a part of Magic Studio's stock, there would be absolutely no problem with funding.

It's just that it's impossible for Langmeyer to do this, because Magic Studio is the most advanced film special effects studio in the world today.

As for MGM, it is just a slightly famous Hollywood film company.

Even if Lin Daoqiu does not buy MGM, it will not affect his development in Hollywood.

And if possible, Langmeyer really doesn't want Lin Daoqiu to become the boss of a Hollywood film company, because that means they will become enemies in the future.

Lin Daoqiu heard the meaning of Langmeyer's words, but he never even thought about selling a part of Magic Studio's shares.

"Honestly, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of buying MGM."

"But since it's rare to come to the United States, it seems that I should also visit that Mr. Kerkorian."

…………

Unlike the last time we met, Lin Daoqiu flew to New York this time, because Kirk Kerkorian was not in his casino recently, but came to New York.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know why Kirk Kerkorian came to New York, he just wanted to meet with him to see if Kirk Kerkorian's attitude was still as tough as before.

In a five-star hotel room, Lin Daoqiu met Kirk Kerkorian.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see, I didn't expect you to find here."

Kirk Kerkorian was surprised by Lin Daoqiu's visit, knowing that the last time they met was last year.

Originally, Kirk Kerkorian thought that Lin Daoqiu would definitely chase after MGM in order to buy it, and he would try his best to lower the price.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu seemed to have forgotten about it after only meeting him once, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him after so long.

"I'm really sorry to disturb your rest."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Kirk Kerkorian's attitude seemed to have changed dramatically from when he first met.

At that time, his attitude towards himself was contemptuous and contemptuous, but now the enthusiasm shown by Kirk Kerkorian made Lin Daoqiu feel that he should have realized that he is someone who can buy MGM.

Don't look at Kirk Kerkorian's appearance at that time, if he wanted to buy it, he could only pay a high price. If he really let him hold MGM in his hands, this hot potato would be very hot if he wanted to cover it.

"Mr. Lin, don't say that. I am very happy that you are willing to come to see me, an old man. Please come here. I have the best cat poop coffee here. Please invite Mr. Lin to taste it."

Lin Daoqiu is not really interested in those coffees, whether it is instant or poured, it doesn't make much difference to him.

It's just that Kirk Kerkorian looked very excited, and Lin Daoqiu didn't want to spoil his interest, so the guest followed him to the living room and sat down.

Not long after, the waiter brought the brewed coffee to Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Kerkorian, even if I don't tell you, you should know why I'm here today."

After Lin Daoqiu put down the coffee, he went straight to the point.

Kirk Kerkorian nodded with a smile. He and Lin Daoqiu have no friendship or business relationship. It is almost impossible for Lin Daoqiu to come to him for other things except MGM.

"Of course, I can more or less guess the purpose of Mr. Lin's visit. Since you came to me for the second time, it means that you are ready for the price I proposed, right?"

Of course Kirk Kerkorian would not naively think that Lin Daoqiu would really pay 15 billion US dollars to buy his MGM.

The price in his heart is about 13 billion, but if he can sell for more money, Kirk Kerkorian will certainly not refuse.

"So Mr. Kerkorian insisted on not selling it for US$15 billion?"

Lin Daoqiu was not surprised by this, after all, it was impossible for the other party to lower the price for no reason.

Kirk Kerkorian nodded with a smile.

"It seems that we should not be able to talk about any results this time, and I really feel a little sorry about that."

Lin Daoqiu was not what Kirk Kerkorian thought. He didn't even answer the price, and he directly summed up the meeting this time.

"We haven't even started talking, Mr. Lin is so pessimistic. This is really not a habit that a businessman should have."

Kirk Kerkorian also wanted to sell MGM, but those who offered the price were all around 15 million yuan, which was almost double the [-] billion he expected.

Under such circumstances, Kirk Kerkorian certainly hopes that more competitors will enter the market, so that MGM's price can be raised higher.

"Mr. Kerkorian is really sorry. Speaking of which, I'm actually not a businessman. My job is still working in movies."

Kirk Kerkorian didn't seem to believe Lin Daoqiu's rhetoric. It's unbelievable that a filmmaker can earn more than a billion dollars.

"If Mr. Lin wants to buy MGM, he must have more sincerity instead of talking to me with this attitude."

Kirk Kerkorian felt that Lin Daoqiu was a little insincere, at least in terms of bargaining, he didn't do it at all.

How can anyone talk about business and say that as much as they want, is it possible that this guy has never done business?Kirk Kerkorian was very skeptical about this, he felt that Lin Daoqiu was not what he saw.

"Of course I came here with sincerity. If not, I wouldn't have flown to New York."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Kirk Kerkorian's attitude was different from before. He used to feel that he would not worry about selling, but now he seemed a little anxious.

Lin Daoqiu had already done some homework before coming here. In the past year, there were indeed quite a few people who wanted to buy MGM, but among these people, none of them offered more than one billion yuan.

Could it be that Kirk Kerkorian thought that he would pay hundreds of millions more than those people to buy MGM. If he really thought so, then Lin Daoqiu could only say sorry to him.
