Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1711

Wei Yixin let himself focus on the wireless side, which meant that he wanted to hand over Xiangjiang Cinemas to himself. As for who to hand over to, it was already a lice on the bald man's head, it was obvious.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yixin, who had only met Lin Daoqiu once, would trust him so much, which really made Run Run Shaw a little puzzled.

If he hadn't known that Wei Yixin was ruthless and would never accept bribes, Run Run Shaw would probably think that Lin Daoqiu should have sent Wei Yixin a check that he couldn't refuse, and that the other party would support him so much.

"The world of Heung Kong Films is so good. If we only focus on TVB, I think it would be a pity."

Run Run Shaw didn't want to just hand over Xiangjiang Cinemas, he hoped to save some, even if only a little.

"Although the world of Xiangjiang Films is good, this is only what we can see now. After New Oriental withdraws from the Xiangjiang market, the box office revenue of Xiangjiang Films this year will drop sharply. Sir Shao should be very clear."

If New Oriental's films are not screened in Xiangjiang, the box office performance of Xiangjiang theaters will naturally drop significantly.

Unless Run Run Shaw has a way to turn things around, but if he really has a way to do this, he wouldn't have sold Shaw Brothers to Pan Disheng back then.

"That's only temporary. There are still many newcomers worth looking forward to in the Xiangjiang Film Festival. As long as you give them a certain amount of support, I believe they will shine sooner or later."

Sooner or later, I don't know how many years it will take for Run Run Shaw to realize it, and it may even be impossible to realize it at all.

Wei Yixin naturally wouldn't believe the empty check that Run Run Shaw wrote to him, it was too illusory.

"I wonder if this is Mr. Shao's final decision?"

Wei Yixin's attitude suddenly became tough, and his address to Run Run Shaw was no longer Sir Shao, but Mr. Shao.

If Run Run Shaw said yes, then I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver in the future.

"Mr. Governor, I just hope to find a path that is more suitable for the development of Hong Kong's films. It is too dangerous for someone to control the film market of Hong Kong."

More than half of Run Run Shaw's words came from the heart, but it is unknown which side he leans more towards.

"Mr. Shao, my biggest wish when I come to Hong Kong to serve as the governor is to make Hong Kong continue to be stable and prosperous. If there are big fluctuations in the Hong Kong film market this year, it will obviously go against my original intention..."

"So, I hope that you can seriously consider what I just said, and I also hope that you can make a correct choice then."

Wei Yixin felt that Run Run Shaw was unwilling to hand over Xiangjiang Cinemas just like this, and in this case, he didn't want to spend too much time talking with the other party.

Watching Wei Yixin leave the coffee shop, Run Run Shaw sat on the chair for a long time without saying a word.

Judging from the serious expression on his face, Run Run Shaw really encountered a big problem this time.

…………

Not many people know about Wei Yixin's meeting with Run Run Shaw, but the story of Fugeluo being taken away by ICAC has already appeared in newspapers.

There are not many other people who know the inside story, but it happens that Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng are two of them who know something about Fugeluo.

"You think Uncle Six will...will be in trouble this time?"

Pan Disheng urgently made an appointment with Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.

Because Fugro was one of the key players in promoting the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act".

If Fugro is actively promoting this bill because of the money he received, then we don't know what will happen next.

"Probably not. With Sixth Uncle's identity and status, he is the target of both parties' active wooing. Wei Yixin should not attack him."

Zou Wenhuai looked at the problem from a different angle. He didn't analyze whether Run Run Shaw was involved in Fugro's matter, but from another side.

After all, Fugro's problems can be big or small, and now that Fugro has been arrested, he should bear most of the responsibility.

But now no one can say for sure how Wei Yixin will deal with the turmoil caused by Fugro.

"Mr. Zou means that Uncle Liu should have no problems this time, and everyone is just a false alarm?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head without thinking.

"As far as I know, Wei Yixin is not a money-grubbing person. On the contrary, this person has always been unselfish and hates corruption very much. No matter what he does, he should give Uncle Liu a warning."

If it was just a warning, it would be nothing to Run Run Shaw.

Anyway, Xiangjiang Cinemas has already been controlled by him, so he doesn't need to think about it in the future.

What Pan Disheng is worried about now is that the matter of Fugeluo and Run Run Shaw will affect the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" and even the Hong Kong Cinemas.

"Mr. Pan, Lin Daoqiu has already put away New Oriental. I don't think there is any need to worry too much. Whether it is the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" or the Hong Kong Cinemas, it is a hurdle that Lin Daoqiu cannot overcome."

These two hurdles were like two big mountains pressing on Lin Daoqiu's body, making it impossible for him to turn over.

Pan Disheng thought about it and felt that what He Guanchang said was right, as long as there were these two curses, Lin Daoqiu would never have the chance to regain control of the Xiangjiang film industry no matter what.

"It seems that I was too worried. When I heard the news that Fugro was taken away, I was worried about the chain reaction that would be triggered."

Now Dibao's momentum is very fast, and they are about to take over as the special commissioner in charge of port sales of the Electricity Regulatory Bureau. Of course, Pan Disheng doesn't want trouble to happen at this time.

It's just that Fugeluo has been taken away now. I don't know if Run Run Shaw's promise to recommend Di Bao's person to take over this position still counts.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang just smiled at this, Pan Disheng was probably worried about the position of the special commissioner.

He also didn't want to think about it, now that Fugeluo was taken away, how could Run Run Shaw help recommend it at this time, he might not have time to avoid suspicion.

But they won't say these words to Pan Disheng, because this can be regarded as a godsend opportunity for Golden Harvest.

Originally, they had completely given up on this seat, but now that such an unexpected event happened, they were suddenly able to participate in the competition again.

And I believe that this time Run Run Shaw will not express his opinion on this matter. If that is the case, then Golden Harvest will not necessarily lose to Di Bao in terms of their connections in Xiangjiang.

It's really a pity that the two parties that were supposed to cooperate have started to fight for a seat at this time.

If they knew Wei Yixin's attitude, they didn't know what Pan Disheng and Zou Wenhuai would think.
