Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2336 This fact is too...

When Fang Yihua came home, he found Run Run Shaw sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

When Fang Yihua walked into the living room, Run Run Shaw put down the newspaper in his hand.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that the negotiation with Lin Daoqiu this time is not going well?"

Judging from the depressed expression on Fang Yihua's face, Run Run Shaw probably guessed that meeting and talking with Lin Daoqiu this time should not be smooth, otherwise Fang Yathua would never be like this.

Walking to Run Run Shaw's side and sitting down, Fang Yat Hua nodded helplessly.

"At the beginning, I thought that Lin Daoqiu would be exhausted in Taiwan, as long as we offered to help him solve the difficulties encountered by New Oriental Cinemas in Taiwan, and then use it as a condition for us to join Asian Cinemas, but I didn't expect ,Hey……"

When Fang Yihua said this, he couldn't help but sighed suddenly, it seemed that Lin Daoqiu didn't agree to her proposal.

"Lin Daoqiu has been dominant in Xiangjiang and Hollywood for such a long time, how could he put such a small Baodao market in his eyes, it's normal for him not to agree."

Run Run Shaw also thought that the reason why Lin Daoqiu rejected their proposal was because he didn't like the market of Baodao at all.

Even if Shaw Brothers paid to buy his New Oriental Cinemas in Taiwan, Lin Daoqiu would not agree to allow them to join the Asian Cinemas in exchange.

But what Run Run Shaw didn't expect was that Fang Yihua suddenly shook his head at this moment.

"After I chatted with Lin Daoqiu, I found that we seemed to have miscalculated the troubles he encountered in Baodao, or that it was not Lin Daoqiu who was in trouble, but Li Zhengnan."

"You... what did you say?"

Run Run Shaw, who was originally calm, suddenly showed a shocked expression after hearing Fang Yihua's words.

Li Zhengnan was stumped by Lin Daoqiu, how could this be possible, no matter how much Run Run Shaw thought, he didn't think it would be true.

"It seems that you were deceived by Lin Daoqiu. If he is really capable, we might as well surrender earlier. After all, even Li Zhengnan is not his opponent, let alone us, hehe..."

Speaking of this, Run Run Shaw couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, because this was a bit too appalling, and in his opinion, it was absolutely impossible.

"You're right, but I always feel..."

Fang Yihua couldn't help shaking his head before he finished speaking.

As Run Run Shaw said, if even Li Zhengnan is not Lin Daoqiu's opponent, then why are they fighting with Lin Daoqiu? The best way is to admit defeat directly to the opponent.

"Lin Daoqiu is a dead duck right now. He was forced to give up the market in Baodao, and he couldn't bear to beg for help. He really can figure out why Li Zhengnan asked Wu Chou to sell New Oriental Cinemas in the first place?"

Run Run Shaw heard about it. Lin Daoqiu asked Wu Chou to sell the New Oriental Cinemas in Baodao, but because of Baodao's obstruction, the sale procedure has been stuck.

Lin Daoqiu couldn't sell it at all, so he didn't sell it at all. It was a lie to say that he didn't care about the market in Baodao. In fact, he was simply unable to cope with the situation in Baodao.

"Well, it seems that I'm thinking too much, but at present, it seems impossible to buy the theater chain of Baodao from Lin Daoqiu. After all, it is difficult for him to communicate with a person who wants to save face. .”

Fang Yathua had given up on the unimaginable possibility before, and she had been completely persuaded by Run Run Shaw.

"Wait, I'll think about it again."

Run Run Shaw thought about it, and felt that it would not be a problem to continue procrastinating like this, so he planned to take the initiative.

…………

"Sir Shao is visiting? Invite him in quickly."

Fei Peng was discussing the upcoming work schedule with his secretary, when he suddenly heard Run Run Shaw's visit, he immediately put down his work and invited Run Run Shaw into his office.

"I shouldn't have disturbed Chief Peng's work."

"Sir Shao is too out of touch. If you visit the Governor's Mansion in person, even if you have an urgent business, you should put it aside first. This way please."

Run Run Shaw had a knight title on his head, Fei Peng naturally wouldn't treat him as an ordinary person, after all, it was an honorary title awarded by the queen herself.

"I've sent someone to talk to Lin Daoqiu before, but he's very serious about the Asian theater chain. If this continues, I'm worried that Xiangjiang Films will fall to the point of being monopolized by someone."

Fat Peng nodded while listening. In fact, he also dislikes the situation where Lin Daoqiu is alone in the Hong Kong film industry. After all, Lin Daoqiu is not one of them, and it is even possible that he wants to stand on the opposite side of Fat Peng and the others. .

Under such circumstances, Fei Peng naturally didn't want Lin Daoqiu to have too much say in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, let alone that guy didn't give him any face, which really made Fei Peng feel annoyed.

"Lin Daoqiu not only has prestige in the Xiangjiang film industry, he is also the boss of MGM, a world-renowned film tycoon, so it is really not easy to communicate with him."

If Lin Daoqiu's strength is only limited to Xiangjiang, then Fei Peng will not take him seriously at all, and he will fix it if he finds a way, until the other party is willing to listen to him obediently.

But the problem now is that Lin Daoqiu's strength is not limited to Xiangjiang, he is a famous movie tycoon in the world, if he wants to take action against him, he must consider the influence of international public opinion.

"This is indeed a very nerve-wracking matter, but I believe that with Chief Peng's strength, it should not be impossible to persuade Mr. Lin to cooperate. It depends on whether the method is used correctly."

The purpose of Run Run Shaw's trip is to hope that Fei Peng will put more pressure on Lin Daoqiu, forcing him to give up part of the shares in the Asian cinema chain.

But Fei Peng was worried that if he put too much pressure on Lin Daoqiu, it would cause international public opinion against him, which would not be a good thing.

"As far as I know, Lin Daoqiu has sent people to the mainland to shoot scenes and shoot movies very early, and his contact with there may never have been broken."

Run Run Shaw stopped talking at this point, but Fat Peng had already understood the meaning of his words.

In fact, Fei Peng has been worried or wary that Lin Daoqiu is from there. If this is the case, then it is only natural to suppress him.

"I will seriously consider what you said."

Fei Peng didn't say what to do, but it seemed that he had really started to be suspicious of Lin Daoqiu.

Now that Run Run Shaw's goal has been achieved, he will naturally not stay in the Governor's Mansion for a long time.

"In this case, I will leave. I believe that with the strength of Chief Peng, this matter will not be too difficult for you. As long as the method is used well, there will be no problems."

After finishing his speech, Run Run Shaw left Fei Peng's office.

And after Run Run Shaw left, Fei Peng was still thinking about what solution Run Run Shaw was talking about.
