Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1684 Big Shock

Lin Daoqiu snatched Li Maowen's special commissioner from Run Run Shaw.

Taking control of the management of Xiangjiang Selling Port will at least not put New Oriental in a passive position.

It can be said that it is precisely because Li Maowen has become this special commissioner, which is one of the reasons why no one dares to underestimate New Oriental after losing Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Now Lin Daoqiu asked Li Maowen to resign as the special commissioner, just to let everyone know that he is not playing fake this time.

"Understood Mr. Lin, I'll go back and write a letter of resignation."

Li Maowen didn't even have the slightest nostalgia for this special commissioner.

Even though his social status had been greatly improved after becoming the special commissioner, Li Maowen did not get any satisfaction from this position.

Compared with this special commissioner, he prefers to be the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas or the general manager of New Oriental.

So when Lin Daoqiu asked him to resign the special commissioner, Li Maowen didn't even have the slightest thought of refusing, and he even felt very happy.

After Li Maowen left, Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to inform others to go to New Oriental for a meeting.

Although this decision was a bit sudden, this incident was regarded as a fuse, and all the dissatisfaction accumulated in Lin Daoqiu's heart burst out at once.

Xinyicheng and others, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, Wang Jing, Zhong Fa and Lin Zhengying, as well as other directors and screenwriters.

All the core members of New Oriental were called by Fang Jinsheng to the company's conference room for a meeting.

No one knew what Lin Daoqiu suddenly called them for a meeting, and no one could have imagined that Lin Daoqiu would make such a big move.

When everyone slowly gathered in New Oriental's conference room, everyone congratulated each other on the New Year. After all, today is only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the meaning of the Spring Festival is still very strong.

After everyone arrived, Lin Daoqiu brought Fang Jinsheng into the conference room.

"Mr. Lin..."

When Lin Daoqiu entered the door, everyone first called Mr. Lin respectfully.

Lin Daoqiu just nodded, then walked to the main seat expressionlessly and sat down.

"Brother Qiu, you called everyone over suddenly. Could it be that you want to give everyone red envelopes?"

Wen Jun didn't know what happened, he first joked with Lin Daoqiu in a very relaxed tone.

The people next to him all laughed together when they heard what Wen Jun said.

"The things I'm going to talk about today are very serious. Please listen carefully to what I have to say next."

Lin Daoqiu turned his head to look at Wen Jun, and then said these words in a very flat tone.

Although Lin Daoqiu's tone sounded ordinary, when he finished speaking, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly changed.

Wen Jun, who was originally joking, immediately shut his mouth, because it was hard for him to see Lin Daoqiu showing such a serious expression.

Once he has this expression, it must mean that something serious must have happened.

"Let Ah Sheng briefly introduce the current situation."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Fang Jinsheng briefly explained the problems encountered in "Best Partner" and "Overlord Flower" to the people present.

As the parties involved, Mai Jia, Wen Jun, Wang Jing and others were very dissatisfied with Ding Yunsheng's actions. They thought that Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to intervene in this matter, but they didn't expect him to do it.

"Xiangjiang Cinemas is really deceiving people too much. At the beginning, it was clearly agreed to arrange the venue according to the attendance rate and box office. However, the attendance rate and box office of "Shaolin Boxing King" have not been good since the premiere. Ding Yunsheng is deliberately perfunctory us."

The more Wang Jing talked, the angrier he became. When he thought of Ding Yunsheng's appearance, he felt that he was out of breath.

"If things go on like this, I'm worried that our New Oriental movies will definitely be tampered with by the other party when they are shown in Xiangjiang Cinemas in the future. This is no longer impossible."

Maijia simply extended the question a little longer.

Although he didn't know how Lin Daoqiu planned to deal with this problem this time, now Lin Daoqiu obviously hoped that they would make the fire more and more prosperous. Since this was the case, Mai Jia would naturally have to follow Lin Daoqiu's ideas.

"Brother Qiu, in the final analysis, the establishment of Xiangjiang Cinemas was all due to your running around. Now they just picked peaches, but they still do such disgraceful things. This is simply bullying."

Wen Jun must be on Lin Daoqiu's side, and he felt that Xiangjiang Cinemas was originally Lin Daoqiu's property, but was snatched away by Run Run Shaw.

If possible, he certainly hoped that Lin Daoqiu could get Xiangjiang Cinemas back as soon as possible, and then New Oriental would be able to dominate Xiangjiang's film market.

"Since Uncle Six has the ability to take Xiangjiang Cinemas away, how he manages it is his business, but that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. Even clay figurines are very angry."

The people at the scene gradually realized that the purpose of Lin Daoqiu calling everyone to this meeting today must be related to Xiangjiang Cinemas.

But as for what Lin Daoqiu wanted to do, no one at the scene could guess.

"To tell you the truth, I was willing to sell New Oriental Cinemas to Uncle Liu because I thought he was fair and that Xiangjiang Cinemas would be of great help to Xiangjiang's film market, so I reluctantly gave up, but..."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this sentence, everyone at the scene immediately pricked up their ears, and he continued: "Their actions have exceeded the limit of my patience."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, everyone nodded, because they had never encountered such a situation before.

"So I decided that after the release of "Best Partner" and "The Overlord Flower", New Oriental's films will not be screened in Xiangjiang cinemas, and New Oriental will officially withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the scene was shocked. They never expected that Lin Daoqiu's methods would be so drastic, and he would immediately make New Oriental withdraw from the Xiangjiang market.

"I have asked Maowen to resign from the special commissioner and return to New Oriental as the general manager. If you have any questions, please ask."

If Lin Daoqiu said before that New Oriental would withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market, some people at the scene still had some doubts.

Lin Daoqiu asked Li Maowen to resign as the special commissioner in charge of Xiangjiang film sales at the Electricity Management Bureau, which really means that Lin Daoqiu will leave the Xiangjiang film market. This is definitely not a joke, but serious.

"Brother Qiu, we should have done this a long time ago. Why should they let them ride on our heads? Without New Oriental, I saw what they would do to continue to grow Xiangjiang's film market."

Wen Jun was the first to stand up and support Lin Daoqiu, after all, he was a staunch supporter of Lin Daoqiu.
