Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1689

"Thank you, let's drink tea together some other day."

After Run Run Shaw put down the phone, his face looked very serious.

Fugeluo's phone call has clearly told him that Wei Yixin, the governor of Xiangjiang, has attached great importance to this matter, and it is impossible for Fugro to hide it for him.

Of course, Run Run Shaw could not ask Fuguero to do such a dangerous thing, and he also knew very well that even if he asked Fuguero to help hide Wei Yixin, the other party would not follow suit.

After all, now Xiangjiang is completely different from the original Xiangjiang. The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has reversed Xiangjiang's original atmosphere of collecting money together.

If you want to collect money now, you have to take a big risk, not to mention that Fugro is not stupid enough to take the risk of offending Wei Yixin for the sake of Run Run Shaw, which is not worth it at all.

"Lin Daoqiu is advancing by retreating."

Run Run Shaw has already noticed that Lin Daoqiu's trick is to make everyone think that New Oriental is leaving Xiangjiang.

The reason why he wants to spread this news is of course to let the Hong Kong government know, and then force them to cancel the "Hong Kong Film Management Act".

Now everyone's eyes are on the point that New Oriental will leave Xiangjiang, but Run Run Shaw has already seen that Lin Daoqiu's goal is to regain the Xiangjiang theaters.

It is a pity that Run Run Shaw has nothing to do at all, and it is impossible for him to go and tell everyone that Lin Daoqiu is actually using retreat as an advance, and he has no intention of leaving Xiangjiang at all.

It's just that even if he tells the truth, I'm afraid not many people will believe what he said.

And judging from Run Run Shaw's understanding of Lin Daoqiu, he will definitely not just let it out, and he will definitely have other means in the future, until the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" is abolished.

I had worked so hard at the beginning and used all my contacts to forcefully promote the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" to deal with Lin Daoqiu.

But I didn't expect that only a year and a half later, Lin Daoqiu had already started planning to overturn this bill.

What's worse is that Lin Daoqiu's odds of winning are not so high. This is what Shao Runfu is most worried about.

Since Lin Daoqiu bought MGM, his international reputation has soared.

It can be said that Run Run Shaw tried his best to get the Xiangjiang Cinemas, and finally pushed this bill with great difficulty.

Now if Run Run Shaw wants to turn things around, the only way is to persuade Wei Yixin not to intervene in this matter.

As long as Wei Yixin doesn't care, there will naturally be no one in the Hong Kong government to speak up for Lin Daoqiu, and then everything will be calm.

But when Wei Yixin just took office, Run Run Shaw did a simple investigation on him.

Judging from the results of the investigation, Run Run Shaw found that Wei Yixin was a very upright person, and it could even be said that he was a bit too upright.

If you want to convince him, you need to find a legitimate reason, but Run Run Shaw really can't think of any understanding that can make Wei Yixin stand by on this matter.

"Is it true that Lin Daoqiu is going to make a comeback?"

…………

The meeting between Fugeluo and Lin Daoqiu was in New Oriental's office, and this was the first time he came to Lin Daoqiu on his own initiative.

"It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Fogro, so we haven't seen each other for a year and a half."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Fugeluo sitting opposite him, with a very kind smile on his face.

It was this guy who teamed up with Run Run Shaw to take away his New Oriental Cinemas back then. It was already a remarkable thing that Lin Daoqiu didn't put a bad face on him.

"Mr. Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you haven't changed at all, you are still as handsome as before."

The purpose of Fuguero's coming to see Lin Daoqiu today is to know why Lin Daoqiu closed New Oriental.

Although this matter has not been officially announced, Fugro still got an accurate answer from some reliable informants.

Lin Daoqiu once announced in an internal meeting that after the release of "Best Partner" and "Overlord Flower", New Oriental will not release any films in Xiangjiang Cinemas this year.

The main reason is because of Wei Yixin's interference, otherwise, even if New Oriental were to leave Xiangjiang, Fugro would not have too much thought about it.

Because in his view, Xiangjiang's film market is so prosperous, even without New Oriental, it will not have any impact on Xiangjiang's film market.

"Mr. Fuguero really knows how to joke. I don't know what's the matter with your special visit today?"

Lin Daoqiu is obviously not interested in talking nonsense with Fugeluo, and he has no affection for this person at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu knew the purpose of the other party's coming to find him, he still had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should already know the news that the new governor of Xiangjiang has taken office. As soon as the governor took office, he asked questions about Xiangjiang movies, and now the person who can best represent Xiangjiang movies is Mr. Lin."

Fugeluo would rather put Lin Daoqiu on a high hat, but unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu didn't have any feelings for Fugro's top hat.

Even after he finished listening, there was not even the slightest expression on his face.

Fugeluo originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would be polite to his compliment, but he didn't expect the other party to have no response, which made Fugeluo feel a little embarrassed.

"Actually, Mr. Fuguero chose the wrong person. You should mention Mr. Run Run Shaw. After all, he controls Xiangjiang Cinemas, and he is the real influential figure in Xiangjiang films."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu mentioned Run Run Shaw, Fugro knew that the other party did it on purpose. After all, he and Run Run Shaw had taken away Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental Cinemas back then.

It would be really strange if Lin Daoqiu didn't mind this.

"Mr. Lin, I'm actually entrusted by the officer today, and I want to know something from you. If possible, I hope you will tell the truth."

"Mr. Fogro, please feel free to ask. As long as I can answer, I will know everything."

Fugeluo directly skipped the topic of Run Run Shaw, and directly explained his purpose of coming to Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu showed a very cooperative look, which made Fugro secretly relieved.

"Recently, I heard rumors that Mr. Lin plans to close New Oriental Film Company. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

In Fugro's view, regardless of whether Lin Daoqiu has the idea of ​​closing New Oriental, his answer will definitely be very vague.

But what Fugro didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu's answer was far beyond his expectation.

"Mr. Fugro is right. I will close New Oriental after the Chinese New Year."

As soon as these words came out, Fugro was taken aback.

Although he had heard about this from many sources, he still couldn't help being surprised when Lin Daoqiu confirmed it to him.
