Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1558 Antique Boom
Lin Daoqiu's arrogance made Kerkorian very upset, but the problem now is that his situation is very worrying. If he hadn't encountered big trouble this time, he would not have taken the initiative to call Lin Daoqiu.

When encountering such a master, Kerkorian really didn't have a good idea.

"Mr. Lin, let's take a step back. What do you think of the price of 11 billion?"

"I'm sorry, but I think [-] million is already a very reasonable price."

Kerkorian felt that Lin Daoqiu had no intention of seriously talking to him at all, otherwise, how could he have offered such a reserve price of [-] million U.S. dollars.

Although this price was already the highest at this time, Kerkorian would not even listen to this offer a year ago.

Feeling that he is now being bullied by dogs, Kerkorian is very angry, but there is nothing he can do.

"One billion, the price of one billion is already very reasonable, please think about it, Mr. Lin."

Kerkorian is still making the final struggle, and his current psychological price is still 10 billion yuan. After all, he has not reached the final step.

"Mr. Kerkorian, [-] million is my final asking price. If you are interested, we can trade at any time, but if it is more, then there is nothing I can do."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu doesn't have money, but it's not necessary to spend an extra [-] million U.S. dollars to buy MGM. After all, [-] million U.S. dollars is definitely not a small sum for him.

It's not good for Lin Daoqiu to do something with the money saved, so why give it to the other party for free.

"Mr. Lin, I can't accept the price of [-] million anyway. If you are interested in [-] billion, you can contact me at any time."

Kerkorian sticks to the price of one billion. After all, he has reduced it from 12 billion to one billion, which is already a big concession.

"In that case, let's talk if we have a chance in the future."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he put down the phone.

Kerkorian on the other end of the phone looked powerless. After he put down the phone, he leaned heavily on the back of the chair, looking very tired.

Although he had already expected that the conversation with Lin Daoqiu would not go smoothly this time, he just didn't expect that the other party would be so reticent, and he had nothing to do with him.

Originally, in recent years, the global film market has grown at different rates, and Hollywood has the largest growth rate, especially the birth of "Godzilla", and everyone has seen the bright future of special effects films.

But it is a pity that even Kerkorian, who is one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, is unable to take this ride.

After the birth of "Godzilla", all film companies tried their best to invest in the creation of special effects films, but Kerkorian's MGM did not keep up. This has to be said to be a pity.

If it weren't for this, Kerkorian's MGM wouldn't have been sold at such a low price. In the final analysis, it was because he usually didn't pay much attention to MGM, which led to such a result.

"Master, would you like to take a rest, I think you look very tired."

Kerkorian's butler stood aside, and he was very worried when he saw Kerkorian's tired look.

After all, Kerkorian is already old at this time, and he is almost 70 years old. It is impossible for him to have the infinite vitality as he was when he was young. Now he looks old and has lost his former glory.

"I'm fine..."

Kerkorian shook his head, he has no way to rest now, he still has a lot of things to deal with.

Once he makes a wrong step, he will face a tragic fate, that is, complete bankruptcy, which is definitely not the result Kerkorian wants to see.

Unlike the anxious Kerkorian at this time, Lin Daoqiu on the other side looked leisurely.

He was sure that within three months, Kerkorian would take the initiative to sell MGM to himself for [-] million US dollars. The reason was very simple, because he had nowhere to go.

Unless he is willing to continue to bear the burden of MGM, a film company in his hands that has no ability to make money at all.

The current Kerkorian is just unwilling to accept this fact. Once he realizes that there is no room for maneuver in his situation, I believe he should be sober at that time.

Once he acquired MGM, Lin Daoqiu's first consideration was whether to continue to focus on Xiangjiang or move to Hollywood.

Magic Studio's base in Xiangjiang has been rebuilt several times and invested a huge amount of money. No matter how you look at it, Lin Daoqiu will never give up easily.

But if they successfully buy MGM at that time, whether it is MGM or Dykstra, they will definitely strongly request Lin Daoqiu to establish a branch of Magic Studio in Hollywood.

In the past, Dykstra had no choice but to stay in Xiangjiang. Now that he bought MGM, he will definitely try his best to return to the United States, after all, that is his hometown.

And once Dykstra left, the strength of the Magic Studio in Xiangjiang would hardly be the same as before.

But the good thing is that the technology of Magic Studio is interoperable. Even if the latest technology developed by Magic Studio's branch in the United States in the future, Xiangjiang can also share it.

But Lin Daoqiu also had to speed up the cultivation of special effects technology talents in Xiangjiang, or else something happened to Dykstra, and he really didn't even have a place to cry.

…………

After staying in Neon for a while, Lin Daoqiu set off to return to Xiangjiang, but Dykstra did not go back with him, because he had to stay at Neon to take charge of the remaining filming of "1992".

Not long after Lin Daoqiu returned to Xiangjiang, the serialization of "Tomb Raiders Notes" also came to an end.

This novel, which was serialized on Shangtai, was even more popular than the previous "An Embroidered Shoe", and it also triggered a wave of antique hunting.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this Qing Qianlong famille rose vase dedicated to the third son's birthday? I bought it for 50 yuan. According to the seller, this bottle was placed in Qianlong's study."

Maijia came to talk to Lin Daoqiu this day, and brought a bottle for Lin Daoqiu to appreciate.

It seems that he was also influenced by "Tomb Raiders Notes", so he ran to find these antiques.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know much about antiques, so he couldn't see any clues at all.

"When did Lao Mai learn from others to find antiques, do you understand this stuff?"

After Lin Daoqiu looked at it for a while, he put the bottle back on the table.

"Hey, it's not because of "Tomb Raider Notes", but to be honest, if the novel can be adapted into a movie, it will definitely be a big hit."

Mai Jia still didn't know that "Tomb Raider Notes" was actually written by Lin Daoqiu, and he was planning to go to the commercial station to have a chat with Yu Teng to see if he could buy the film adaptation rights of this novel.
