Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 284

"Ming Pao" published a piece of news a few days ago. The headline at that time was "Li's Fear of Changing Owners", which said that Lin Daoqiu might want to buy Li's.

And the person who broke the news was Run Run Shaw that Lin Daoqiu guessed. The other party did this to add trouble to Lin Daoqiu when he bought Li's TV station.

But what Run Run Shaw never expected was that Lin Daoqiu did not buy Li's, but instead bought Princess Jin.

Because the transaction speed was too fast, before everyone could react, the news that the Golden Princess Theater had changed hands appeared on the front pages of major newspapers.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Run Run Shaw never expected that Lin Daoqiu would have such a means to force Lei Juekun to sell Princess Jin to him within two days.

Moreover, Run Run Shaw knew more inside stories than others, which made his view of Lin Daoqiu change a lot.

"Lin Daoqiu is obviously targeting us this time."

When Fang Yihua saw the news, her first reaction was to be taken aback. She never thought that Lin Daoqiu would be able to buy a cinema so soon.

"He first bought 38% of the shares of Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, then cut off the way for Princess Jin to sell the port, and then made a false appearance of preparing to attack Jiulong Jianye, which can be said to scare Lei Juekun enough. "

Run Run Shaw couldn't help but admire Lin Daoqiu's methods. No wonder he was able to successfully buy Princess Jin in just two days.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Run Run Shaw suddenly couldn't help shaking his head, as if he had encountered something bothering him.

"Lin Daoqiu is good at making movies, but he is probably far inferior to us in running theaters. If he can make a few movies in a year, don't worry."

Fang Yihua saw Run Run Shaw's appearance and hurried forward to comfort him.

But Fang Yat-hua was obviously not as far ahead as Run Run Shaw thought. If it was just a theater chain, it wouldn't be worth the nervousness of Run Run Shaw.

"What do you think will happen if Zou Wenhuai and Lin Daoqiu join forces to form a joint cinema?"

It was fine if Run Run Shaw didn't say it, but Fang Yihua was taken aback immediately when he said that, because it was very likely to happen.

Once Lin Daoqiu and Zou Wenhuai join forces, the business of Shaw Cinemas may decline a lot.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't helped them film "Mission Impossible" this year, I'm afraid the financial report of Shaw Cinemas would not be so good.

"Then what should we do now?"

Fang Yihua couldn't think of any good solution for a while, now Lin Daoqiu made it clear that he came for them.

As for Zou Wenhuai, let alone, that guy longed for the disbandment of Shaw Brothers.

As long as these two people join forces, Shaw Brothers will never be able to fight back. I'm afraid they can only shift their focus to TVB.

"Go and talk to him tomorrow."

Run Run Shaw suddenly turned around and said something to Fang Yihua who was beside him, which made her puzzled.

Fang Yat-hua couldn't turn her head around for a moment, she looked at Run Run Shaw and didn't know what to say.

Lin Daoqiu spent so much effort to buy Princess Jin just to deal with them, why should he talk to him at this time?
"Talk to him about forming the United Cinemas."

It can be said that Run Run Shaw's proposal greatly exceeded Fang Yathua's expectations.

However, judging from the current situation, Run Run Shaw's idea may be the best way for Shaw Brothers right now.

"I see, I will talk to him tomorrow."

On the other side, when Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang heard the news that Lin Daoqiu bought Princess Jin, they were also shocked at first.

But then Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang couldn't help laughing, because they seemed to have seen the birth of a powerful theater chain.

If Golden Harvest joins forces with Lin Daoqiu's theater chain to form a new theater chain, then they will well-deservedly become the overlord of Xiangjiang Films.

And not only that, when Shaw Brothers will be squeezed by the United Cinemas, it is believed that they will close their doors if they can't support it.

At that time, Golden Harvest will be able to buy Shaw Cinemas from Run Run Shaw.

Thinking of this possibility, Zou Wenhuai was excited and restless. He wished he could go to Lin Daoqiu to discuss the formation of a joint theater chain right now.

"Of course there is no problem forming a joint theater chain, but how should we distribute the shares? Will Lin Daoqiu be willing to let us become the major shareholders?"

He Guanchang's words poured over Zou Wenhuai's head like a basin of cold water.

With Lin Daoqiu's character, if Golden Harvest is the leader of the new theater chain, he will definitely not agree.

But if Lin Daoqiu becomes the leader of the new theater chain, Zou Wenhuai will not agree.

Although negotiations have not yet begun, one can imagine the difficulty of reaching this agreement, and one party still needs to give in in the end.

Zou Wenhuai naturally didn't want himself to be the one who gave in. He could spend more money to take up more shares, but I believe Lin Daoqiu thought the same way.

"Then we have to talk about it. The joint theater chain must be established. You have seen the power of the double-screening before. If "Mission Impossible" uses a double-screening, the box office will not Only 2000 million."

He Guanchang agreed with Zou Wenhuai's words. Forming a joint theater chain is the top priority now, but Zou Wenhuai, the major shareholder of the theater chain, is determined to win.

"How about I go to check on Lin Daoqiu's tone first?"

Zou Wenhuai hesitated for a minute after listening, and then nodded.

Although they already knew Lin Daoqiu's character, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang still had a glimmer of hope.

After all, we haven't talked about it yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

…………

Lin Daoqiu received calls from Fang Yihua and He Guanchang one after another, asking him out to meet for tea and chat.

Regarding He Guanchang's phone call, Lin Daoqiu could more or less guess what the other party was thinking, and Golden Harvest definitely hoped to form a joint theater chain with him.

But Fang Yihua's call made Lin Daoqiu feel a little puzzled.

He was very sure that Run Run Shaw and the others knew why he wanted to buy Princess Jin, but they still came to him. Could it be that they were going to apologize to him?

It was really hard for Lin Daoqiu to imagine that Fang Yihua, with such an arrogant personality, would be willing to bow his head in front of a young man.

But if you think about it with your toes, Fang Yihua definitely didn't come here to apologize.

So Lin Daoqiu simply arranged the time to meet them together, he wanted to see what would happen then.

"When Miss Fang meets Mr. He, that scene must be very interesting."

Zheng Danrui couldn't help laughing beside him.

He and Wen Jun have resigned from Li's office and set up a film studio with the support of Lin Daoqiu.

"Okay, don't worry about this matter, think about what is more practical for your opening works."

Lin Daoqiu's words immediately made Zheng Danrui in trouble.

Although they have what they want now, the two of them couldn't come up with a script that satisfied both of them.

So Zheng Danrui had no choice but to look at Lin Daoqiu for help timidly.
