Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"Master Long, the food is ready, what would you like to drink?"

Lin Jianyue knew that the Jiulong Shaotian on the menu would definitely dislike it, so he was probably waiting for him to ask this question.

"Just order whatever you want. I can drink whatever you want. It's not that particular."

Lin Jianyue looked at Long Shaotian with a suspicious look on his face. He felt that the other party was too strange. Where on earth was he waiting for him?

"Jian Yue, you don't need to be so nervous. We have known each other for so many years. I know you must still think that I am the same person before, but I can assure you that I have changed my mind and become a new person. Otherwise, how could my father let me What if I sit on the throne of General Manager of Long Group?"

Lin Jianyue quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Master Long is right."

Although he echoed this, Lin Jianyue was saying in his heart, because you, Long Shaotian, are the only son of the Long Group, the Long Group will definitely be passed on to you in the future, and you will not be allowed to serve as the general manager to familiarize yourself with the company. Business, if I hand the company directly over to you in the future, wouldn’t it be doomed?

Of course, Lin Jianyue would not say these words, he could only think about them secretly in his heart.

"I know you don't believe it. In fact, I don't believe that I will choose to work in a company one day. But there is no way. People have to grow up. When they grow up, they will face many complicated things. It doesn't matter when they are young. , no one will care about you, but when you grow up, the responsibility will fall on your head, and then you won’t be able to care about it even if you don’t want to, what do you think about Jian Yue?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Long to have so many feelings when he came back from a trip to England, but I think you are right. People have to grow up."

"But I don't want to grow up. I still want to be like when I was little, playing with everyone."

When Long Shaotian said this, he suddenly showed a strange smile, which frightened Lin Jianyue so much that his skin began to tighten unconsciously.

"I'm scaring you, am I that kind of person? I've already said that I've changed my ways, so I won't be the same as before. Tell me, what do you want to see me for today?"

Long Shaotian changed the topic and turned it to Lin Jianyue's visit to him for dinner today.

After all, it was impossible for Lin Jianyue to invite him to dinner for no reason, and Long Shaotian was very obedient. Lin Jianyue was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time, so how could he take the initiative to call and invite him to dinner? The only explanation was that he had something to ask him for, and he could not help or cooperate with him. It's possible, of course the former is obviously the most likely.

After all, although there is room for cooperation between the Long Group and the Lin Group, if Lin Boxin really had this idea, he would come to Long Shaotian's father to talk to him himself and would not let Lin Jianyue come to him, because such roundabout ways would be detrimental to cooperation. There is no benefit, and the two families are not enemies, so there is no reason to do this.

"Young Master Long is indeed extremely smart. I knew you had something to ask for your help even before I said anything."

Lin Jianyue nodded quickly. He wanted to finish the matter quickly before Long Shaotian changed his face.

"Tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best. After all, you and I have been good friends and brothers for many years. There is no reason not to help you."

Lin Jianyue quickly nodded in agreement, but he had never regarded Long Shaotian as his brother or friend. He was obviously the target of Long Shaotian's bullying. How could such a person be his friend and brother? “That’s right, I recently heard that the Long Group seems to be planning to enter the film and television industry?”

Naturally, Lin Jianyue would not be stupid enough to directly ask Long Shaotian if he wanted to buy the shares of Xiangjiang Cinemas. If the other party had no such intention, wouldn't it be bad for him to remind him like this, so he turned around and tested it first to see if Long's Does the group have this intention? If not, then it’s up to you to decide.

"No, our group has no plans to enter the film and television industry yet."

Long Shaotian didn't even think about it, he just shook his head.

Seeing Long Shaotian shaking his head, Lin Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was no such thing, it would be for the best, so that he could go back to Lin Boxin tomorrow.

"I see. It seems like those gossips just like to spread rumors."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. The Long Group has no plans to enter the film and television industry, but I myself am ready to enter the film and television industry."

As soon as Long Shaotian said these words, Lin Jianyue was stunned. The other party was not playing a trick on him, right?

"Why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"

Long Shaotian looked at Lin Jianyue with confusion.

At this time, Lin Jianyue no longer knew what to do. Long Shaotian really wanted to enter the film and television industry. Is this guy telling the truth or a lie?

"No, no, I just heard the news, so I came here to ask. Mr. Long, you don't know, I have been in this business before, but then I had no choice but to sell the theater chain. So when I heard the news that you were going to enter the film and television industry, I came here to ask, thinking that since we are all good friends, I might be able to help you in some way."

Lin Jianyue would take the initiative to help him. He couldn't believe it even to Long Shaotian. This guy hadn't even called him for so long since he came back. As soon as he heard the news that he was going to enter the film and television industry, he immediately called him. What Lin Jianyue said and what he thought were completely different things.

"Oh...I see, when you said that, I remembered that you cooperated with others to buy a bunch of theaters, and then formed a new theater chain, but in the end you were expelled by the owner of Xiangjiang Theater Line, Lin Daoqiu, because of poor management. I bought it, and then you quit the film and television industry, is that right?"

"Young Master Long, it's not that I didn't manage the business well. There are many things here that are not humane enough to explain to outsiders. However, you are one of your own, so I will do whatever I say."

"Now the Xiangjiang film and television industry is controlled by Lin Daoqiu alone. Uncle Liu and Mr. Zou are no longer as brave as they used to be, so Lin Daoqiu is allowed to catch up. If you want to enter the film and television industry, Lin Daoqiu will be your roadblock. .”

Hearing what Lin Jianyue said, Long Shaotian became interested.

"Will Lin Daoqiu block me? He and I don't know each other, have nothing to do with each other, and have no grudges. Is he so domineering? Anyone who wants to enter the Hong Kong film and television industry must get his permission, right?"

"Young Master Long, you don't know that now almost 80% of the box office in the Xiangjiang film industry comes from Xiangjiang Cinemas. Lin Daoqiu also has Magic Studio in his hands that monopolizes the production of all film special effects, not to mention that he has a presence in the global film market. In terms of influence, his words in the film and television industry are more powerful than those of the Governor. If he doesn't let you enter the film and television industry, you really can't get into it."
