Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1597 The real jump price
Lin Daoqiu remembered that when Kerkorian never talked to him, he always put on a very arrogant posture at the beginning.

If you don't know, you may think Kerkorian is a medieval noble or something.

But Kerkorian's attitude this time has obviously changed drastically from the previous few times.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you in your busy schedule. I'm Kerkorian."

If the other party hadn't reported his family background, Lin Daoqiu would never have thought that Kerkorian would say such humble words.

It seems that the saying that rich is uncle is a wise saying no matter before or now.

"Mr. Kerkorian, why call me when you have time?"

Lin Daoqiu knew without guessing that there should be no other possibility for Kerkorian to call himself except to sell MGM to him.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you are free now. I would like to treat you to dinner. I know you are in LA now."

Kerkorian knew about Lin Daoqiu filming "Rush Hour" in LA, and he could find out by doing a little research on his contacts.

When Lin Daoqiu heard Kerkorian's invitation to him, the corners of Lin Daoqiu's mouth suddenly rose slightly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Kerkorian, I can't leave the crew now, I'm really sorry."

Even though Kerkorian's posture has been lowered, Lin Daoqiu does not intend to give the other party this face.

I went to find him personally the first two times, but the other party put on a high profile to deal with me. Lin Daoqiu still can't forget that look.

Now he is in a hurry to sell but he is not in a hurry to buy. He is the only one who is in a hurry. It is impossible to follow his requirements, and Lin Daoqiu is not short of this meal.

"Mr. Lin, I won't waste too much of your time, just give me one... half an hour, what do you think?"

Kerkorian was in a hurry. He originally thought that it would not be a big problem to ask Lin Daoqiu out and then sell MGM to him for [-] million US dollars.

But now it seems that Lin Daoqiu no longer has the enthusiasm for buying MGM, otherwise, he should be unlikely to refuse his invitation.

Obviously Lin Daoqiu hadn't said anything yet, but Kerkorian couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

"Mr. Kerkorian, I'm really sorry, my scene will be filmed for at least a while, I think it's better, when I finish filming, we will sit down and have a good meal, what do you think?" Sample."

"Wait until you finish filming?"

Kerkorian seems to have heard something unbelievable. Lin Daoqiu will not see himself until he finishes filming "Rush Hour". It may have been a year. Is it still useful to see himself at that time?

"That's right, this movie still needs a few months. As you know, the Christmas schedule is coming soon. We are working overtime now to finish filming this movie as soon as possible, so there is no extra time at all."

Lin Daoqiu's words sounded very sincere, but Kerkorian knew very well that the other party was just perfunctory himself.

No matter how busy Lin Daoqiu was, it was impossible for him not to spare half an hour to see him.

The only answer is that Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to meet with him, which is what Kerkorian is most worried about.

Originally, the bottom line of Kokorian had been set at [-] million US dollars. If Lin Daoqiu didn't buy it, there would be an abyss waiting for him.

Even if someone bids, the price will never be higher than [-] million U.S. dollars, which is why Kerkorian is eager to sell MGM to Lin Daoqiu for [-] million U.S. dollars.

"Mr. Lin, if it's really inconvenient for you, I can go to the set to see you."

Although Kerkorian already knew that Lin Daoqiu didn't want to see him, wouldn't he be able to go if Lin Daoqiu didn't come?He was just pretending not to understand Lin Daoqiu's excuse.

"If that's the case, that's all right, but won't Mr. Kerkorian be too much trouble?"

Lin Daoqiu did not reject Kerkorian's visit, which was somewhat good news for him.

"No, I can understand that you can't spare time under such circumstances, so it's settled, and I'll be there right away."

Kerkorian didn't even make an appointment, and directly said that he would go to see Lin Daoqiu immediately.

Hearing that the other party was so eager to see him, Lin Daoqiu could probably guess that Kerkorian's recent situation is really worrying.

After telling the other party the address, Lin Daoqiu put down the phone and called Langmeyer.

"Kerkorian's recent situation doesn't seem to be very good? Has something happened?"

If Fang Jinsheng was asked to investigate, it would take at least a day or two to figure things out, but if Langmeyer was asked, he would be able to give an accurate answer right away.

"The Tax Investigation Bureau seems to have obtained witnesses and evidence of Kerkorian's tax evasion. Now the situation is very unfavorable to him, and he is likely to be severely fined."

When Lin Daoqiu heard that this was the case, he was about to put down the phone after thanking Lang Mayer.

But at this moment, Langmeyer hurriedly said.

"If you want to buy MGM, now is definitely a good opportunity. I think about $[-] million can make Kerkorian nod."

Langmeyer took the initiative to advise Lin Daoqiu not because he had a good relationship with Lin Daoqiu, but because he knew very well that it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to buy MGM.

Since this is the case, it is better to leave a good impression on the other party. Maybe Lin Daoqiu's MGM and Universal Pictures can join forces in the future, which is not impossible.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

If only a few months ago, if Kerkorian had a little sense, he should have agreed to Lin Daoqiu's offer of [-] million US dollars.

However, after a few months passed, his situation became much more worrying than before.

Under such circumstances, how could Lin Daoqiu maintain the price of [-] million U.S. dollars, but if Lin Daoqiu hadn't learned about the situation from Langmeyer, perhaps he would have offered a higher price.

Half an hour later, Kerkorian arrived at Lin Daoqiu's crew in his limousine.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lin."

Kerkorian had a very enthusiastic smile on his face. Compared with the previous few meetings, Kerkorian seemed to have regarded Lin Daoqiu as his very good friend at this time.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the other party and himself when they met him several times before, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but almost burst into laughter. The proud Kerkorian probably never thought that he would bow his head to Lin Daoqiu one day Bar.
