Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1620 Sophistry
As the lobbyist sent by Li Zhengnan, Liao Xiangxiong knew that he had a great responsibility. If he could not complete this mission, he would completely abandon Li Zhengnan.

On one side is a road of smooth progress, while on the other side is a bottomless abyss. No matter how you think about it, you know that Liao Xiangxiong prefers to take the former path rather than the latter path.

"Mr. Lin, we will consider this matter comprehensively. All you need to do is to help us organize the premiere of this movie well. Your benefits will never be lost."

Liao Xiangxiong didn't know that Li Zhengnan and Lin Daoqiu had already discussed the TV station license when they met.

As for the benefits Liao Xiangxiong said, I am afraid that he himself does not know what he can give Lin Daoqiu, so he is just talking nonsense to deceive Lin Daoqiu.

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not be fooled by Liao Xiangxiong's tricks, because for him, apart from the TV station's license plate, there was really nothing he was interested in on Baodao.

"I didn't make this movie for Baodao entirely for profit. Doesn't Director Liao see me as a snob?"

Lin Daoqiu pretended to be very angry, which made Liao Xiangxiong shake his hands anxiously.

"Mr. Lin misunderstood. How could I have that kind of thought? A person like you who understands righteousness can say that Liao is rare in his life, but I hope you can understand our difficulties."

The difficulty Liao Xiangxiong mentioned here naturally refers to the pressure Li Zhengnan put on him. If the work assigned by the boss is not done well, the subordinates will definitely be blamed.

He believed that with Lin Daoqiu's ingenuity, he would definitely be able to hear the implication of his words.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu did hear it, and he also knew that the matter Liao Xiangxiong came to talk to him this time might have something to do with his future official career.

I didn't expect that my attitude would determine a person's official career. For Lin Daoqiu, this really made him quite emotional.

But one size fits all, how Liao Xiangxiong's official career will develop depends entirely on his ability, this time the meeting is more because Liao Xiangxiong hopes to complete this task by relying on his friendship with Lin Daoqiu.

But Liao Xiangxiong didn't have that much face in front of Lin Daoqiu, because it was absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to agree to accompany Li Zhengnan to attend the premiere, and he didn't even answer if Li Zhengnan wanted to attend.

If it's on Baodao, it's fine. Li Zhengnan can do whatever he wants, but he can't control it anyway.

But in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu would not agree.

Just because of Li Zhengnan's conspiracy and his identity as a traitor, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to agree.

What's more, if Lin Daoqiu agrees this time, then MGM is likely to become a stronghold for Baodao to promote around the world in the future.

Lin Daoqiu spent so much time and energy to buy MGM, and it was so cheap for Baodao's gangsters, no matter how he thought about it, he knew that he would never agree.

"Director Liao, you should also understand my character. I'm not such a ruthless person, but this time it really won't work. No matter from which aspect, it's the most appropriate arrangement to follow my method."

"Forgive me for not agreeing with Mr. Lin's words. Do you think that Chief Li's attendance at the premiere will have a bad influence on this movie?"

Liao Xiangxiong was in a hurry. He even said such a thing, just to force Lin Daoqiu to change his words.

If Lin Daoqiu dared to say yes, then he would completely offend Li Zhengnan. I believe that Li Zhengnan would not blame himself too much when he heard Lin Daoqiu's words.

But if Lin Daoqiu said no, then he was slapping himself in the face.

Since Li Zhengnan's attendance at the premiere didn't affect the movie, wouldn't he have ulterior motives to keep blocking it like this.

"exactly."

Liao Xiangxiong originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would think of a compromise, but he actually said it himself, which stunned Liao Xiangxiong, and forgot to speak for a while.

"If Chief Li attends the premiere, then the film's purpose of promoting Treasure Island will become too strong. At that time, the media of various countries will definitely link the premiere with the film itself. Director Liao thinks this Is it a good thing?"

"Moreover... this movie was fully invested and shot by Treasure Island. If these two points are combined, it may greatly affect the audience's perception. Then our strategy of using this movie to promote Treasure Island will be in vain."

Lin Daoqiu's sophistry made Liao Xiangxiong not know how to refute him, even though Liao Xiangxiong had already thought about what to say on the way here, but in front of Lin Daoqiu, his words were useless at all.

Liao Xiangxiong was not given a chance to refute at all, Lin Daoqiu continued.

"Director Liao, please go back and report to Chief Li. Lin is loyal and has absolutely no selfishness in it. If Chief Li doesn't trust me, then you can do whatever you want, and Lin can only stand by and watch."

Lin Daoqiu has made up his mind anyway, the worst is that Li Zhengnan will go to the United States to attend the premiere, but he will definitely not attend.

At that time, he can behave as he likes, and he doesn't bother to care about it anyway, as long as Li Zhengnan doesn't bring this matter to himself.

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. Liao definitely didn't mean that. Mr. Li and I absolutely trust Mr. Lin unconditionally. Please rest assured Mr. Lin on this point."

Before Liao Xiangxiong came, Li Zhengnan had told him not to push Lin Daoqiu into a hurry. After all, he now has a high international reputation and is of great use value to Baodao.

"Since the two of you trust me so much, you should follow my method, right?"

"This……"

Liao Xiangxiong looked at Lin Daoqiu in embarrassment. If things were really that simple, Li Zhengnan would not have sent himself to be the lobbyist.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu didn't give Liao Xiangxiong a chance to continue entanglement.

"Director Liao, it's getting late. I have to fly to the United States tomorrow morning. If you have nothing to do, please go back."

Lin Daoqiu had already started serving tea to the guests at this time, and Liao Xiangxiong's buttocks were stuck to the chair, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to stand up.

"Director Liao, Mr. Lin has finished what he wanted to say. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Liao Xiangxiong was so anxious that he was about to cry. He opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

Finally, in desperation, Liao Xiangxiong could only stand up silently.

"In this case, don't disturb Mr. Lin's rest, I'll go back first."

Liao Xiangxiong walked out of Lin Daoqiu's room silently with his head down. It seemed that he still couldn't convince Lin Daoqiu this time.
