Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1685 Lin Daoqiu Is He Crazy?

After Wen Jun agreed, Zheng Danrui followed closely behind, and then Wang Jing, Zhong Fa, Lin Zhengying, Xinyicheng and others also agreed with Lin Daoqiu's decision.

In addition to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, Zhong Fa and Lin Zhengying are also Lin Daoqiu's most staunch supporters.

As for the reason why other people came forward to agree, it was not because they were all staunch supporters of Lin Daoqiu.

The biggest reason is that even if New Oriental does not have the Xiangjiang market, it will not have much impact on them.

Because the box office they get here in Xiangjiang sometimes only accounts for about [-]% of the sales.

Under such circumstances, even without Xiangjiang's film market, it would not have a great impact on them.

Even Mai Jia and others have already felt that the reason why Lin Daoqiu used such an extreme method was not because he really wanted to withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market, but because he wanted to retreat in order to advance.

If the Hong Kong government can't stand it at that time, the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" will naturally be cancelled.

As long as there is no "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", New Oriental will be able to fight back at that time, and Xiangjiang Cinemas will naturally return to Lin Daoqiu's hands.

"Don't worry everyone. Although we have withdrawn from the Hong Kong film market, this year's filming plan remains unchanged. As for where the film will be released at that time, it will be decided at that time."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say what he wanted to release the movie after one year, because he was worried that if he revealed it, someone would spread the news.

Regardless of the fact that the people sitting there are all New Oriental people, but sometimes there are too many people, and it will be troublesome if it is accidentally leaked out.

If Run Run Shaw and the others know the news by then, they only need to hold on for a year, and their plan will probably go bankrupt by then.

So Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to reveal his thoughts for the time being, and it didn't matter whether they knew about it or not.

"Everyone in New Art City firmly supports Mr. Lin's decision."

"So do we..."

None of the people present stood up and sang against it, so Lin Daoqiu's decision was passed very smoothly.

…………

"You're resigning?"

The next day, Li Maowen came to the office of the Director of the Electric Power Management Bureau and submitted his resignation form.

For Li Maowen's behavior, the director of the electricity management bureau was very surprised.

What surprised him was that Li Maowen's special commissioner represented not only himself.

The reason why this position was established at the beginning was that Run Run Shaw fought for it himself, but he did not expect that it would be cheaper for New Oriental in the end.

Now that New Oriental suddenly took the initiative to hand over this seat, what do they want to do?
"Director, I feel that my ability is limited and I can't cope with this position, so I came here to resign today. You don't need to say more, thank you for taking care of me during this time, and I will come out for tea together when I have the opportunity."

Li Maowen did not give the other party a chance to refuse, and even if the other party rejected him, he would not take it seriously.

Seeing Li Maowen walk out of his office, the director of the electricity management bureau still hadn't recovered, as if he didn't know what happened just now.

After a while, when he realized it, the director immediately called Run Run Shaw.

Run Run Shaw on the other end of the phone was resting at home. When he received the call, a thick layer of doubt immediately appeared on Run Run Shaw's originally calm face.

"Is Lin Daoqiu crazy?"

As soon as this idea came to his mind, Run Run Shaw immediately rejected it.

Lin Daoqiu is definitely not a fool, and on the contrary, he is very smart, and his methods are varied.

But no matter how much he thought about it, Run Run Shaw couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly handed over the special commissioner of the Electric Power Management Bureau.

And according to what the director said, Lin Daoqiu did not arrange for Li Maowen's successor, but just asked Li Maowen to resign as the special commissioner.

This means that Lin Daoqiu has given up the management right to control the Hong Kong film outlet. Why has he suddenly become so generous?
Run Run Shaw didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because he still didn't know what happened in Xiangjiang Cinemas recently.

On the other end of the phone, the director of the Electricity Regulatory Bureau hoped that Run Run Shaw could recommend someone to take over the position, but Run Run Shaw declined the other party's suggestion.

It's not that Run Run Shaw didn't want to get the special commissioner of the Electric Power Management Bureau, but that Run Run Shaw didn't dare to take this position before he figured out Lin Daoqiu's thoughts.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so Run Run Shaw hurriedly called Fang Yat-hua over.

"Did something happen?"

Run Run Shaw called Fang Yihua back home from the wireless.

"Li Maowen has just resigned as the special commissioner of the Electric Power Management Bureau."

Fang Yihua, who had just sat down, heard the news, his eyes suddenly widened, and it could be seen from her eyes how shocked she was.

"I believe this is definitely not Li Maowen's personal intention, it must be Lin Daoqiu who told him to do so."

Run Run Shaw's guess was indeed correct. Without Lin Daoqiu's explanation, Li Maowen would never have resigned from this special commissioner.

And even if he himself wants to resign from this position, he will definitely communicate with Lin Daoqiu in advance, and the other party will immediately arrange a successor.

But now Lin Daoqiu has not proposed a successor, which means that he does not want this special commissioner.

"What exactly does Lin Daoqiu want? He doesn't even want the right to sell Xiangjiang Films?"

Fang Yihua wondered what Lin Daoqiu wanted to do?Is this playing a child's temper?If this is the case, it can only be cheap for them.

If this was the case, Fang Yihua really hoped that Lin Daoqiu would lose his temper a few more times, then New Oriental and East Vision would definitely decline very quickly.

"Something must have happened that caused Lin Daoqiu to make this decision. Hurry up and send someone to investigate. What happened to Lin Daoqiu recently."

Run Run Shaw was eager to know what went wrong.

And it happened that the person involved was sitting in front of him.

"Perhaps... I can probably guess the reason why Lin Daoqiu did this."

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, Run Run Shaw immediately turned his head to her.

Seeing Run Run Shaw look at him like this, Fang Yat Hua felt a little guilty, but she still told Run Run Shaw about the whole thing.

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, Run Run Shaw suddenly sighed heavily.

"You broke the rules by doing this. I'm afraid Lin Daoqiu has been waiting for this opportunity."

Although Run Run Shaw didn't mean to blame Fang Yat Hua, but this time she really made a big mess.
