Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2374 Persecution
Fitch Dupont's guess was absolutely correct. Among the people who had been in contact with Lin Daoqiu before, no one dared to give him such a price, because no one had such confidence at all.

Lin Daoqiu's assets have increased tenfold within three years. If he dares to draw such a big cake, he must be a liar in all likelihood.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but the DuPont consortium, one of the top ten consortiums in North America, is represented behind Fitch Dupont, so it is difficult for people to tell whether what he said is nonsense or the truth.

In three years, his property has increased tenfold. When Fitch Dupont said this, Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to answer him for a while.

After all, Fitch Dupont's identity was so special that Lin Daoqiu didn't know whether to believe him or ignore his words.

"I know you will definitely think that I'm bragging, but my identity makes it difficult for you to be sure that I'm bragging. Are you very entangled now?"

Fitch Dupont seemed to have seen through Lin Daoqiu's thoughts, as if he had been using this method to persuade or test the people he wanted to cooperate with.

"Although I also like money, the first condition for me to find a partner this time is not to make money, but to hope that my partner can provide some help to "Reader Times". I believe Mr. Fitch should understand me the meaning of."

"I understand, of course I understand. You just want to find a backer for Readers Times. After all, a company like a newspaper can easily offend others. If there is no strong backer, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. Is it right?"

What Fitch Dupont said was indeed what Lin Daoqiu wanted, but the word "backer" he used made Lin Daoqiu feel a little uncomfortable. Even if it was true, Lin Daoqiu felt a little uncomfortable.

But it seems that Fitch Dupont doesn't know this at all, or he actually knows it very well, but he deliberately wants to say it in front of Lin Daoqiu in order to show his identity and status.

"Mr. Lin, let me tell you the truth. Your "Reader Times" actually doesn't make much money a year. The reason why everyone wants to cooperate with you this time is actually for your New Oriental Pictures. If you only plan to If you take out the "Reader Times", then I can assure you that it will be very difficult to attract any strong investors in the end."

Newspaper offices in North America at this time are actually not a profitable business. Even if they are as strong as the three major newspaper offices in North America, their annual income is actually not much, and it is even more insignificant compared with other businesses.

So everyone is not looking at the "Readers Times" in Lin Daoqiu's hands this time, and no one thinks that the newspaper in Lin Daoqiu's hands has any development prospects.

The reason why everyone took turns looking for Lin Daoqiu was entirely because they all fell in love with Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental Pictures at the same time, because the film market is not only making money now, but it is also foreseeable that it will also be making money in the next few decades. A gold-sucking monster.

If it weren't for this, those consortiums probably wouldn't even take a closer look at Lin Daoqiu, let alone take the initiative to ask him to meet, which in itself is a very unusual thing.

From Fitch Dupont's point of view, if Lin Daoqiu hasn't straightened his position, or if there are still some unrealistic ideas, then it's not just Fitch Dupont, I believe Eliwood and Twain Morgan will extend their efforts to Lin Daoqiu's olive branch was withdrawn.

"Mr. Fitch, I don't deny that what you said is true, but there is one thing I hope you can clarify first."

"what's up?"

Fitch Dupont looked at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously, he didn't understand what else he didn't grasp.

"This time, what I am looking for is an investor for "Reader Times". I have never mentioned it or mentioned it to anyone. I want to find a partner for New Oriental Pictures. I hope you can understand this. "

Lin Daoqiu directly rejected Fitch Dupont's idea of ​​investing in New Oriental Pictures, which made Fitch Dupont couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.

"Mr. Lin, I thought you were a smart person at first, but I didn't expect that you are no different from those people. They all think that they have a good hand, and then think that they can do whatever they want. What a pity."

Fitch Dupont shook his head while talking, with a regretful expression on his face.

However, Lin Daoqiu was not frightened by what Fitch Dupont said. After all, if one of these consortiums were allowed to enter New Oriental Pictures, his film and television empire would be in jeopardy.

Although it doesn't mean that they will replace themselves immediately, but Lin Daoqiu believes that with the ability of these financial groups to reach the sky, just give them a little chance, and they can completely reduce you to their money-making machine.

When Lin Daoqiu first started in Xiangjiang, there were two film giants, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, on his left and right sides. At that time, they, like these consortiums, wanted to recruit themselves to become their filming machines.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, and everything seems to be reincarnated again. The difference is that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have been replaced by these super consortiums in North America.

"Mr. Fitch, I appreciate your kindness. If you want to meet with me this time to talk about the investment in "Reader Times", then I think we can continue to sit down and have a good chat..."

"But if you are looking for other things, then I can only say sorry to you, I have no idea of ​​finding a partner for other businesses in my hand."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Fitch DuPont. At least so far, he hadn't thought about letting others get involved in the business of New Oriental Pictures.

Lin Daoqiu would only start to think about this issue if it was really a last resort. Of course, the DuPont consortium would not be the only ones who could choose.

"Mr. Lin, I know that you dare to say these things in front of me because everyone is staring at New Oriental Pictures. I have to say that you have seized a good time. I really have nothing against you now." There's a better way."

Fitch DuPont had to admit that besides the DuPont consortium, several other large consortiums were also staring at Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental Pictures.

So it is naturally impossible for him to do too much to Lin Daoqiu, so that he would willingly let himself become a shareholder of New Oriental Pictures.

"But Mr. Lin, sometimes people's good luck will not last forever. With your current strength, the possibility of keeping New Oriental Pictures is zero. If you insist on not letting others buy shares, then your good luck The days are probably coming to an end.”

"Is Mr. Fitch threatening me?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Fitch DuPont and asked indifferently.

"How is it possible? I'm just reminding Mr. Lin that you are overthinking. Come and drink with us."
