Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1770 Intentionally Leaking Secrets?

"Mr. Lin is too ruthless, he just kicked those two guys from Baodao out."

The matter of Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang has already spread in a small area of ​​Xiangjiang film circle.

As a partner of the United Cinemas, other representatives of its family in Xiangjiang naturally learned of this matter very quickly.

However, they didn't feel too panic because their strength is not weak at all, and they won't be as easy to settle as Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang.

However, after receiving the invitation from Li Maowen, representatives from the five regions of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and India still readily attended the appointment.

When they arrived at the scene, they found that there were no representatives from Nihong and Han Country present this time, which was somewhat unexpected.

It seems that there are only two possibilities for such a situation. One is that they have been persuaded by Li Maowen and gave up cooperating with United Cinemas.

The other is that the representatives of Han Guo and Neon are not willing to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu at all, so they are not willing to come when they are invited.

"Everyone is an old acquaintance. Whether I was the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas, New Oriental, or the commissioner in charge of port sales at the Electricity Management Bureau, everyone has dealt with me more or less."

Li Maowen is Lin Daoqiu's capable man, from the general manager of New Oriental to the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and then the special commissioner of the Electricity Management Bureau.

If it weren't for Li Maowen's outstanding ability, Lin Daoqiu would not have arranged for him to take up these important positions.

"Mr. Li, since we are all old friends, there is no need for us to hide it from you. Although Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang have been kicked out by Mr. Lin, we are not as easy to deal with as they are."

The representative of the Philippines put on a tough stance as soon as he came up. If Li Maowen threatened them with the matter of Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang, at least it would be of no use to him at all.

"Mr. Lin's strength in Xiangjiang is indeed unstoppable, but if the place is changed, I'm afraid what he said will not be so effective."

Before coming, these five representatives had been invited by Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng, and they also promised a lot of benefits, just hoping that they would not turn against the water.

Now that they got the promise from the United Cinemas, these people will naturally not easily agree to Li Maowen's request.

Unless the conditions he offers meet or exceed the chips offered by the United Cinemas, then they will consider abandoning the United Cinemas and switching to New Oriental.

"Don't get me wrong, I invite you here this time, in fact, I want to have a good talk with you about future cooperation."

"Future cooperation? Is there anything we can cooperate with New Oriental? Once Mr. Lin's Asian cinema plan is completed, we will end up with Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang. Mr. Li won't think we are fools, will he?"

These people can be said to be very resistant to Lin Daoqiu's Asian theater chain plan, because they have no part in it at all.

Since Lin Daoqiu wants to monopolize the film market share, they will naturally not raise their hands and surrender, they must fight to the end.

"Oh... It seems that everyone has misunderstood our New Oriental's Asian theater chain plan. It must be because there are too many rumors outside."

Li Maowen just smiled slightly at this, and answered very lightly.

After the five people at the scene heard Li Maowen's answer, they immediately had a doubt in their minds. Is it true that what they heard before were all rumors as Li Maowen said?
"If I'm not wrong, these rumors should be released by some people with a heart, the purpose is to pull you over, and then fight against New Oriental."

Thinking about it carefully, what Li Maowen said was really very possible, and although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present knew that some of the interested people he was referring to must be those from the United Cinemas.

The reason why Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng wanted to do this was to destroy Lin Daoqiu's Asian theater chain plan, which was obvious.

"Mr. Li, although I don't know the facts, we have already negotiated with the United Cinemas. After deducting all necessary expenses, they will get [-]% of the proceeds and we will get [-]%."

The representatives of Singapore directly told Li Maowen the conditions negotiated between them and United Cinemas.

It seemed like he was an idiot for leaking his details like this, but in fact, this guy deliberately dug a hole for Li Maowen here.

It's just that the [-]% to [-]% share is true, but this is because Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang were suddenly kicked out. Representatives such as Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng would be frightened and be drawn over by Lin Daoqiu, so they added [-]% of the share .

And there is another very important point here, that is, the sentence deducting all necessary expenses, there are a lot of tricks in this item alone.

In normal times, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng would never allow them to do this. Even if it is really necessary to deduct miscellaneous expenses, it must be agreed in advance.

Under the current situation, they will lose at least half to [-]% of their box office revenue just for this item alone, but Zou Wenhuai and the others can only turn a blind eye, after all, this is an extraordinary period.

For them, these selling channels are for them, every time they sell a movie, they make money, it just depends on how much they earn.

If these outlets are lost, their income will be greatly reduced, which in turn will affect the funds invested in movies and the remuneration for stars.

"Well, United Cinemas really offers you very generous conditions, so generous that I want to cooperate with them."

Li Maowen didn't doubt the conditions leaked to him by the Singapore representative. In his opinion, if Zou Wenhuai and the others didn't do this at this time, they might not be able to tie these people to the chariot of the United Cinemas.

And this seems to be putting pressure on New Oriental in disguise. If you want to poach them, the conditions for them must not be inferior to those offered by the United Cinemas.

But before Li Maowen came, Lin Daoqiu had already told him that his bottom line was to give these people [-]% of the share, and it was impossible to get any more.

Comparing this kind of share with the conditions given by the United Cinemas, I believe it is very difficult to convince them. It almost seems like an impossible task.

But for some reason, Li Maowen, who was sitting on the chair, looked very confident.

And judging from his confident expression, it seems that it is not impossible to convince these people.
