Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1599 Who is favored by the goddess of luck?
In fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't come up with this method because he had nothing to do.

Because he felt that it was impossible for Kerkorian to sell MGM to himself at a price of 8000 million. If he wanted to buy flowers, he would have to pay [-] million more.

And Lin Daoqiu really wanted to buy MGM, because it would save him a lot of time.

After all, MGM has a complete distribution network, film library, partners, and the company's brand value and a series of precious things.

If there is an opportunity to buy this well-known Hollywood film company, Lin Daoqiu will certainly not miss this opportunity.

Under this premise, Lin Daoqiu decided to take a gamble. Even if he lost, he would just pay 8000 million more to buy MGM, but if he won, he would earn 8000 million more. Why not do it .

"Can I use my own coin?"

Kerkorian seems to have accepted Lin Daoqiu's challenge, but he proposes to use his own coins as tools.

"No problem at all."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have any thoughts of resistance to this. Anyway, he was just gambling on luck. The other party didn't believe that the coin he took out was normal. He had doubts about this. Lin Daoqiu completely understandable.

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu directly agreed to come down, Kerkorian immediately realized that the other party hadn't thought of cheating, he really wanted to gamble with his luck.

After living for so many years, Kerkorian has seen many big scenes, but a coin toss will decide whether to make 8000 million more or 8000 million less. I am afraid there is nothing more exciting than this.

However, Kerkorian searched around himself but failed to find a coin, and finally he took a coin from the driver.

"Mr. Lin, I want to confirm once again. You win the heads, and I win the tails. This decision will not change."

Lin Daoqiu nodded with a smile.

"Well, although I don't know what you think, but I think this challenge is very interesting, I accept it, and then let God decide whether it is heads or tails."

After Kerkorian finished speaking, he took a deep breath, then looked at the coin in his hand, and a few seconds later he suddenly tossed it upwards forcefully.

In the short interval from the coin toss to the landing, Kerkorian kept praying for tails, his eyes fixed on the coin, hoping that the goddess of luck would favor him.

And Lin Daoqiu showed a very calm look, it seemed that he was very calm about the result.

The moment the coin fell to the ground, Kerkorian's heart almost jumped out of his throat with nervousness.

Because next, as long as you see whether the coin is heads or tails, it will determine who the winner of this bet is.

When the two looked at the coins on the ground, one had a smile on his face, while the other had a regretful expression.

"Looks like lady luck is on my side."

Lin Daoqiu looked at the coin on the ground and smiled slightly, because the coin was facing up at this time, so he won the bet.

Kerkorian was very annoyed, but he had agreed to the bet just now, so he couldn't regret it now that he lost.

Of course, he can play tricks and refuse to admit the gamble, and Lin Daoqiu has nothing to do with him.

But if he does this, he doesn't need to lose 8000 million US dollars, but Lin Daoqiu will definitely not bid for MGM.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, MGM sold it to you for [-] million US dollars."

When Kerkorian uttered these words, he felt suddenly exhausted and almost collapsed on the ground.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think too much about it. He didn't play any tricks in this process. All of this was Kerkorian's own operation. He lost and could only say that the goddess of luck was not on his side.

"Thanks to Mr. Kerkorian, we can now have the lawyers draft the paperwork, and when my team of accountants come to MGM to verify everything, we can sign the contract."

To buy such a large company, it is impossible to sign the contract right away. It must go through a series of work, and signing the contract is already the last step.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, arrange it as soon as possible. I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest, so I won't disturb your work."

Kerkorian seemed traumatized by the gamble, and he no longer wanted to continue chatting with Lin Daoqiu. He just wanted to go home and lie down.

After all, he lost 8000 million US dollars with one move. Even though he runs a casino and has seen gamblers big and small, this is the first time he played this kind of 8000 million US dollar game, and he still lost. Mess.

After Kerkorian finished speaking, he turned around and left. Looking at him dragging his heavy steps, he knew how much this gamble had affected him.

Money loss is only one factor, and what really saddens Kerkorian is that without the blessings of Lady Luck, it's no wonder he got where he is today.

He felt that if it was his heyday, then when the coin hit the ground, it would definitely be tails and never heads.

But it's useless to think so much now, because the result is impossible to change.

MGM is almost equivalent to being sold to Lin Daoqiu. After the transaction is completed, he will use the money from the sale of MGM to pay fines and repay debts, and he will have very little left.

It is undoubtedly wishful thinking if he wants to make a comeback. After all, he is old and no longer has the energy and arrogance of the past.

Lin Daoqiu, who watched Kerkorian get into the car, didn't think too much about it. In fact, he was already prepared to lose at the beginning.

But I didn't expect my luck to be so good, and I won in the end. It seems that Kerkorian's recent luck is really unlucky.

…………

A few days later, Hollywood suddenly broke a piece of news that shocked everyone.

Kerkorian intends to sell MGM, and the two parties have already negotiated.

As soon as the news came out, many newspapers and magazines began to reprint it. Everyone wanted to know who was going to buy MGM immediately.

After the news was slowly revealed, many insiders who knew they had access to MGM were secretly breaking the news.

There are not only buyers who have bid before, but also many business tycoons. Among these people, the appearance of Lin Daoqiu surprised many people.

But at the beginning, everyone didn't take Lin Daoqiu's purchase of MGM seriously, because in their opinion, although Lin Daoqiu is a very good movie tycoon, the possibility of him buying MGM is too low .

Among the candidates reported by newspapers and magazines, they thought there were several who were more suitable than Lin Daoqiu and more likely to make a move.

For several days in a row, the pages of Hollywood entertainment magazines were full of news about the MGM deal, and suddenly this deal became a hot topic among the public.
