Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2400 Jealousy
"intuition?"

Little Alan Ryder couldn't help laughing after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking. Although it was a bit impolite, what little Alan Ryder said was a bit too nonsense.

Judging by intuition that Murdoch and Fox shareholders will not sell the film company to themselves, this is probably just Alan Ryder Jr.'s subjective opinion.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, as long as the price he offered was high enough, it was absolutely impossible for Fox to reject his acquisition proposal. After all, Fox's operating conditions in recent years have not been very good.

Even if the big IP of "Star Wars" makes them money, it is obviously impossible for them to survive in Hollywood just by relying on one movie.

Unless they can make a movie that dominates like "1992" or "Godzilla," the future of Fox is not optimistic in the current state.

"Yes, my intuition has always been very accurate."

Lin Daoqiu had to sigh with emotion, this guy's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is really strong, and those who don't know the situation may really be deceived by the nonsense of little Alan Ryder.

But who is Lin Daoqiu?He is a film tycoon in Hollywood, and since Fox formed an alliance with MGM, Lin Daoqiu knows more about this company than outsiders.

Unless Fox now makes a movie on the same level as "Star Wars" in their own ability, but for now, this is already an impossible thing.

Both Industrial Light and Magic and Magic Studios are already under the control of Lin Daoqiu. Without the assistance of these two best and top special effects studios in the world, Fox would have made an eye-catching special effects blockbuster. It can be said that it is impossible.

Even if they find other companies to cooperate with, there is still a long way to go before reaching the level of Magic Studio and Industrial Light & Magic.

"Then let's put it another way. If I am lucky enough to be able to buy Fox's film company, I hope you can stay and continue to run the company. I wonder if you are interested?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to continue to entangle with little Alan Ryder whether he could buy Fox, but changed the way of speaking.

"No."

Little Alan Ryder didn't even think about it, he just shook his head.

You must know that when Lin Daoqiu brought "Mission Impossible" to North America, Alan Ryder Jr. was already the president of Fox Films.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu couldn't get into the opponent's eyes at all in front of little Alan Ryder.

But I didn't expect that after these years, Lin Daoqiu has grown from an unknown filmmaker in Hollywood to a world-renowned film tycoon step by step. The identities of the two have gradually become closer because of this, and Lin Daoqiu has even surpassed them.

For a proud and arrogant person like Alan Ryder, such a reality is naturally unacceptable to him.

But before that, Lin Daoqiu's fortune did not affect him, so although little Alan Ryder was jealous in his heart, he could still cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

It's just that now Lin Daoqiu plans to acquire Fox and turn him into his boss. This has exceeded the limit of little Alan Ryder's patience, so he naturally won't choose to stay.

"I can give you the greatest freedom and will not interfere with your decisions frequently. After I buy Fox, you will not only get a large sum of money, but also have the full assistance of Industrial Light and Magic and Magic Studio..."

"At that time, you can unleash the revenge you had in mind before, and you don't have to worry about insufficient funds or technical limitations. How about it?"

With power, money, and resources that were beyond his control before, after Lin Daoqiu took over Fox, Alan Ryder Jr.'s life will obviously be more comfortable than before.

A boss like Lin Daoqiu is believed to be the dream of many people.

But it's a pity that sometimes some logical things don't necessarily follow this logic when they happen to some people, and Alan Ryder Jr. is one of them.

"Great talk, but sadly I'm not interested."

Little Alan Ryder's will to refuse was very firm. Although Lin Daoqiu had guessed that he would reject him, he did not expect that the other party would not even have room for negotiation.

"May I know why?"

"It's simple, because I hate you."

Little Alan Ryder has said this, Lin Daoqiu can only shrug his shoulders, after all he can't be made to kneel down and beg little Alan Ryder to stay in Fox.

"Well, since that's the case, I have nothing to say, but if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time, and I will always reserve this seat for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. If there is nothing else, I will go first. I appreciate your kindness, but I advise you not to waste your efforts, because it is impossible for me to agree to you."

Little Alan Ryder stood up directly after finishing speaking, and then left Lin Daoqiu's office without looking back.

After little Alan Ryder left, it didn't take long for Richardson to come in from the outside.

"He refused, and the reason given was that he hated me."

When Richardson heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he couldn't help laughing.

"It doesn't surprise me that he would say such a thing with his character. If Alan Ryder Jr. is unwilling to stay in Fox, what are you going to do? Give up the acquisition?"

Richardson is very curious, if Alan Ryder Jr. is unwilling to stay in Fox, will Lindaucho insist on acquiring the film company?
Regarding Richardson's question, Lin Daoqiu looked at him with puzzled eyes, as if asking why Richardson had such a question.

"Why not? I didn't buy Fox for Alan Ryder Jr. He was just one of the incentives. Compared with the film company, his weight is not big enough to influence my purchase."

Although Lin Daoqiu wanted little Alan Ryder to stay and help him, he would not force him if the other party was unwilling.

Richardson nodded as he listened. He felt that this was the decision a mature boss should make.

If it is only because of one person that he can influence his idea of ​​acquiring a company, then Lin Daoqiu's will is a bit too weak.

If it's just this level, if you want to gallop in Hollywood, then I'm afraid it's still a lot of fire.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu did not give up the acquisition of Fox Films because of Alan Ryder Jr. Richardson naturally supported it with both hands.

"Now that Murdoch holds half of Fox's shares, and the other half is distributed among other people, who do you think I should talk to first about the acquisition?"

"Murdoch, as long as he is dealt with, the others will not be your opponent even if they unite, and there will not be much resistance to buying their shares at that time."

Richardson's idea is exactly what Lin Daoqiu wanted, and he is actually going to be the first to talk to Murdoch.
