Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1598 Guessing Coins

"Isn't that the boss of MGM, Kerkorian? I didn't expect that even he would come to the set to visit Mr. Lin himself."

"That's right, haven't you heard? Kerkorian is in a bad situation recently. It is said that he is under investigation for tax evasion. I guess he wants to build a good relationship with Mr. Lin so that Mr. Lin can help him film."

Because of Kerkorian's arrival, the filming work on the scene had to be suspended.

Kerkorian didn't know that by this time the staff on the set were talking about him.

But even if he knew, Kerkorian wouldn't bother. After all, he came to Lin Daoqiu for only one purpose, which was to sell MGM to the other party.

Kerkorian took the initiative to mention his intention after walking to a place where there was no one with Lin Daoqiu.

"I believe that Mr. Lin should be very clear why I came to you today."

Kerkorian didn't think that Lin Daoqiu didn't know anything. He believed that the other party knew his movements and situation well. If he continued to pretend in front of him, it would be of no benefit to the deal at all.

So Kerkorian planned to get straight to the point from the very beginning, because he felt that if Lin Daoqiu wanted to buy MGM, he would naturally not miss this great opportunity to buy MGM.

"You are right, I have indeed guessed what you are looking for me for."

Lin Daoqiu nodded honestly, he would not tell lies in front of the real person, and he didn't need to hide anything.

"Mr. Lin, this is the most suitable time to buy MGM. If you continue to hesitate, it will take a lot of work if you want to get it."

If Lin Daoqiu continues to lower the price, Kerkorian can only find a way to sell MGM to others.

If it can't be sold in the end, the company can only be sealed up, or even auctioned off to pay off debts.

At that time, the price will naturally not be much better, but if Lin Daoqiu wants to delay until then, the amount he will have to pay will definitely not be less than now.

After all, all buyers will bid together at that time, and the price will never be only seven or eight billion US dollars.

It's a pity that no matter how much it sells for at that time, it has nothing to do with me, so this is why Kerkorian is eager to sell MGM.

"Actually, you had a very good opportunity a year ago to sell MGM to me for a billion dollars, but unfortunately..."

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu offered a price of one billion Kerkorian and was unwilling to sell it. He even said that it was impossible to consider it without 15 billion.

Let alone a billion now, even [-] million is not possible.

Had he known this earlier, Kerkorian would have already sold MGM, and he would never have waited until now.

"Mr. Lin, needless to say about the past, I just want to know if you are still interested in MGM, and if so, how much you are willing to pay."

Kerkorian is not interested in chatting with Lin Daoqiu. His purpose of coming here is to finalize the business as soon as possible.

Of course, it would be best to make a deal at the price you wanted, but apparently Kerkorian himself didn't think that Lin Daoqiu would accept the price of [-] million US dollars.

Stretching out a palm and spreading it out, when Kerkorian saw Lin Daoqiu's gesture clearly, his anger burst out of his heart.

Five hundred million dollars?This is simply a joke. Kerkorian's psychological price is at least [-] million at this time, and Lin Daoqiu dared to lower it by [-] million. This deal is absolutely impossible to negotiate.

"Mr. Lin is not joking, if it is [-] million US dollars, then I have already sold MGM, so why come to you."

Kerkorian felt that Lin Daoqiu was humiliating himself, and he even felt that taking the initiative to find Lin Daoqiu was the biggest mistake in his life.

But at this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stretched out a finger, and then added them together to become six, which means that he is willing to pay [-] million US dollars.

Seeing that Lin Daoqiu added another [-] million, Kerkorian's anger was somewhat relieved, but this was [-] million less than the amount he wanted to achieve.

"Mr. Lin, I think [-] million US dollars is a very reasonable price. If you want, we can complete the transaction immediately."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head, then put his hands down.

"Six hundred million dollars is my last bid. If Mr. Kerkorian thinks it is acceptable, then we will sign the contract immediately, but if you think it is unacceptable, then I can only say sorry."

The price of [-] million U.S. dollars was the highest price offered by all the people in contact with Kerkorian at this time.

Although it is [-] million less than Kerkorian's psychological expectation, it can be said that Lin Daoqiu is already the most generous buyer.

Because the prices offered by other buyers were around [-] million yuan, no one offered a price close to or higher than Lin Daoqiu's.

"Mr. Lin, if you miss this opportunity, even if you have the ability to establish a film company, it will take at least 20 years to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Are you willing to waste so much time?"

Kerkorian is not a fool either. Although Lin Daoqiu has the ability to build a film company, if he thinks that it only takes five or ten years for this company to become one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood, it is almost impossible. delusion.

"It is precisely because of this that I offered [-] million U.S. dollars. As far as I know, among all the current buyers, my offer is the highest, isn't it?"

What Lin Daoqiu said was correct, but the price he offered was still unacceptable to Kerkorian, even if what he said was indeed true.

Kerkorian watched Lin Daoqiu speechless for a long time. He knew very well that a decision he made now would greatly affect whether he would face a difficult situation or a turning point.

"8000 million, each of us will return one. I think this price is very reasonable."

Kerkorian took the initiative to reduce the amount by 2000 million US dollars, so it seems that he is really sincere to reach this deal. After all, the situation is stronger than others, and Kerkorian has no choice.

But Kerkorian's concession did not satisfy Lin Daoqiu, he still insisted on the bid of [-] million US dollars and was unwilling to increase the price.

Just when it looked like the negotiations were about to break down, Lin Daoqiu suddenly had an idea for Kerkorian.

"Since we are at a stalemate, I have a solution. I wonder if Mr. Kerkorian is willing to give it a try?"

"any solution?"

Kerkorian looked at Lin Daoqiu curiously, he wanted to know what the other party was going to do.

"This is an ordinary coin. Please toss it up. If it lands on the head, it means I win. Then you will sell MGM to me for 8000 million US dollars. But if it is tails, you win. I'm going to buy MGM for [-] million what do you think."

After accepting the coin handed over by Lin Daoqiu, Kerkorian looked at him suspiciously. Isn't this too childish?
