Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

The information Wu Siyuan provided him didn't seem to be anything special. It was just some predictions about the future Hong Kong film market. To put it simply, the future was bright. As long as he could get involved now, the return on investment would be good. It would be scary to say it would be high.

But this is already a well-known thing, and there is no need for Wu Siyuan to remind him. Lin Jianyue can do these things just by looking for anyone. There is nothing special at all. If he wants to convince him to let him come with these things alone, As for investing in shares, it can only be said that Wu Siyuan took it a bit for granted.

Throwing the plan back on the table, Lin Jianyue shook his head directly at Wu Siyuan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, the things you prepared are very sufficient, but you can find this information by just checking it. It's not a big deal at all. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince me based on this alone."

Lin Jianyue's words were very direct. If Wu Siyuan didn't have anything more convincing, then their conversation could only end here.

When Wu Siyuan heard what Lin Jianyue said, he didn't look surprised or dissatisfied at all. It seemed that he had already guessed that Lin Jianyue would not agree so simply.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I have already guessed that Mr. Lin will not agree, but I am still confident that I can convince you. After all, it is not easy to make you believe in my sincerity, but I was prepared before I came. , so I am very confident that I can convince you.”

"Oh...really? Then I would like to hear what else Mr. Wu has prepared."

"We can invest in Xiangjiang Cinemas."

"Huh? You want to invest in Xiangjiang Cinemas? Are you still coming?"

Lin Jianyue frowned. He didn't understand Wu Siyuan's proposal.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu controlled the entire Xiangjiang Cinemas. How could he easily give up the shares of Xiangjiang Cinemas to them? This is a golden hen that can lay eggs, although most of Xiangjiang's movies rely on overseas exports. They are making money, but the box office in Hong Kong is also slowly growing. Some movies can make a fortune in Hong Kong, and another profit if sold overseas. No one will think that they have too much money.

Otherwise, Lin Jianyue would have already set up a film company by himself to make movies exclusively for overseas audiences, so that he could make a lot of money without having to look at Lin Daoqiu's face.

But he can only think about such a good thing, and it is impossible to realize it. After all, a movie has never been released in Hong Kong, and no one knows what this movie is like. If it is not released on a large scale, it is impossible to get anything good. Naturally, there is no way to convince those film studios to spend money to buy their movies or even share the profits with them.

In addition, most of the well-known directors, stars, actors and actresses in Xiangjiang are now monopolized by Lin Daoqiu. If they dare to secretly come out to help him film, they will have to face a ban from New Oriental. Once they are banned by New Oriental, , together with the markets in Baodao, Southeast Asia, Neon, and Hanguo, these places may be affected to varying degrees.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's prestige in these places cannot be underestimated. Once blocked by New Oriental, he may not be able to go to these places. Naturally, those who are capable will not dare to take risks to offend Lin Daoqiu for them. Those who are not capable will look at it. I can't, so I'm stuck here.

"I wonder if Mr. Lin has heard about the Fuyi Film Company?"

Lin Jianyue thought for a while, then nodded.Even if you have never heard of the incident at Fuyi Film Company, it can be said that the murder of Cai Ziming has caused a lot of trouble in Hong Kong during this period. If you read the newspaper, you will more or less catch a glimpse of such news, let alone this incident and The entertainment industry has a huge relationship, and people like Lin Jianyue who pay some attention to the entertainment industry still know that.

"You may not know about the backstage of Fuyi Film Company. There are two bosses, one is Hu Yong and the other is Xinan."

"Is there such a thing? Hu Yong and people from Xin'an jointly open a film company? This is very interesting, and it can even be said to be unheard of."

The society behind Hu Yong and Xin'an can be said to be sworn enemies. Even if they don't fight when they meet, it is at least a war of words. But I didn't expect that Hu Yong has already started to cooperate with Xin'an to open a film company. If this is said, I'm afraid no one will believe it, but Wu Siyuan should not deceive himself, so this should be true.

"so what?"

Lin Jianyue remained calm. Even if Hu Yong and Xin'an opened a film company together, it was just a separate matter. What does it have to do with him?
"In the past, Lin Daoqiu did not allow people on the road to interfere with film matters, but now this time, the reason why Hu Yong cooperates with Xin'an to open a film company is because Lin Daoqiu is the driving force behind it. Can you tell me what his idea is? "

"What are you talking about? The cooperation between Xin'an and Hu Yong was promoted by Lin Daoqiu from behind? What is he trying to do?"

Lin Jianyue had a confused expression on his face. He couldn't figure out why Lin Daoqiu would do this and introduce people from the road into the film industry. Would this be of any benefit to Lin Daoqiu?

"I don't know what Lin Daoqiu wants to do, but since people on the road can go in and make money by filming, why can't we? If Mr. Lin thinks you are not as good as those people on the road, then I think there is no need for us to continue talking. At that time, I will go to Lin Daoqiu myself to discuss the matter of buying shares. As for Mr. Lin, you should either give up the profitable business of movies, or continue to wait. Maybe your opportunity will come after Lin Daoqiu steps down."

Wu Siyuan was basically mocking Lin Jianyue for being timid, but Lin Jianyue hated it when others said that to him, so after hearing Wu Siyuan's words, Lin Jianyue immediately said angrily.

"How sure are you?"

"Not much, only [-]%."

Lin Jianyue was dumbfounded when he heard this. Ninety percent certainty was almost as good as tenth percentile. How could he have such confidence?
"If you don't believe me, just take a trip to New Oriental with me. Then you will know where my confidence comes from. Of course, if there is an opportunity, I hope Mr. Lin can cooperate with me. After all, only cooperation can make money." If I get more money, I won't be tricked to death by Lin Daoqiu, what do you think Mr. Lin thinks?"

"Okay, as you said, I will accompany you to New Oriental. If I can really buy a stake in Xiangjiang Cinemas, I will definitely consider it seriously. But if it doesn't work by then, then I hope Mr. Wu will not come here in the future. You’re annoying me, what do you think?”

"No problem, then it's settled."

"A word is settled." (End of chapter)
