Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 533
"Mr. He, you came to me suddenly today. This matter should have something to do with Mr. Lin, right?"

At this moment, Bao Shaogang suddenly changed the topic to Lin Daoqiu.

He Guanchang didn't hide anything from the other party, he just nodded and admitted.

"That's right. After all, Mr. Lin is the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and this matter is related to the future of Xiangjiang Cinemas. It's normal for him to care about it."

After listening to He Guanchang's words, Bao Shaogang just smiled.

Then he stood up suddenly, walked to the bar, took down a bottle of whiskey, and poured a glass for He Guanchang and himself.

"Mr. He, to tell you the truth, Mr. Lin has indeed made great achievements in movies, but we are experts in business. I have been thinking why Xiangjiang Cinemas should be controlled by him. I've always wondered."

Bao Shaogang said as he walked, it could be heard from his words that he was very dissatisfied with Lin Daoqiu.

He Guanchang never thought that Bao Shaogang's attitude would be so straightforward. Now that he thinks back to Lin Daoqiu's attitude before, could it be that there is something wrong between these two people?
"Bao Shao, in fact, the income of the three theaters has increased a lot compared to before when the three theaters are united, and because of this, the box office of Xiangjiang Films has been able to rise steadily, so the advantages of the combination of theaters outweigh the disadvantages. As for who dominates, it does not matter important."

He Guanchang persuaded the other party a little. After all, Golden Harvest had already tasted the sweetness of the United Cinemas before. If Baoshao wants to let his Kowloon Cinemas withdraw now, it will have a big impact on them.

But just as He Guanchang finished speaking, Bao Shaogang shook his hand suddenly, it seemed that he didn't quite agree with what He Guanchang said just now.

After clinking the glass with the other party, Bao Shao just took a sip of the wine, and then put the glass on the tea table.

"Actually, I don't have much opinion on the combination of theater chains. After all, everyone makes movies and opens theaters to make money. But if I lead the Xiangjiang Cinemas, I can let everyone make more money."

Bao Shaogang did not hide at all that he wanted to dominate the Xiangjiang Cinemas, but neither Shaw's previous shares in the Xiangjiang Cinemas nor Lin Daoqiu's attitude would allow him to achieve his wish.

Although he didn't know if what Bao Shaogang said was true, He Guanchang had no idea about it.

Although the Bao family has strong financial resources and can accomplish a lot of things, this is the film industry, and Lin Daoqiu obviously has an advantage over them.

Moreover, Golden Harvest also counts on Lin Daoqiu to write a few scripts for them every year, and even Jackie Chan will rely on Lin Daoqiu's help when he enters Hollywood.

Even if Bao Shaogang could give Golden Harvest a little more profit in Xiangjiang Cinemas, I believe Zou Wenhuai would not agree to him.

"Bao Shao, in fact, Mr. Lin has maintained the Xiangjiang Cinemas quite well. I hope you can think about it. After all, everyone is here to make money."

He Guanchang's attitude is very clear. If Bao Shaogang insists on letting the Kowloon Cinemas withdraw from the United Cinemas, then he has nothing to say, but if he wants Golden Harvest to advance and retreat with him, judging from Bao Shaogang's sincerity now, Simply not enough.

He seemed to have guessed that He Guanchang would say this, so Bao Shaogang was not surprised. After all, if it was only a small share, then he would look down on them too much.

"Actually, even if Mr. He doesn't come to look for him today, I will go to Golden Harvest in a few days to talk to Mr. Zou about cooperation in person."

He Guanchang smiled and shook his head, he felt that what Bao Shao had just thought was too simple.

Even if we take a step back, Golden Harvest will support Bao Shaogang to become the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Cinemas, but the combined shares of the two of them are not as much as Lin Daoqiu's, and they will not be able to shake the other party's position at all.

Unless he can persuade Zou Wenhuai to withdraw the two together, and then reorganize a joint theater chain, this is still possible.

But if Bao Shaogang really thinks this way, he will definitely be disappointed in the end, because Zou Wenhuai will definitely not agree to his request to withdraw from Xiangjiang Cinemas.

"Bao Shao, Golden Harvest has been focusing on running the theaters and making movies well. We don't want to participate in other things. If you must quit Xiangjiang Cinemas, then I can only say sorry, Golden Harvest will still stay. down."

Standing with Lin Daoqiu will get more things, they have no reason or need to take risks with Bao Shaogang.

"I know that the two of you are worried that if you fall out with Lin Daoqiu, you won't be able to get the script from him in the future. Moreover, Lin Daoqiu is now strong and strong. Even without the United Cinemas, we still can't defeat him."

When Bao Shao just finished speaking, He Guanchang just laughed and said nothing, because what the other party said was all right, but he couldn't admit it.

But at this moment, Bao Shaogang suddenly stretched out a finger, and then shook it in front of He Guanchang.

"Mr. He doesn't need to worry about this, because I'm fully prepared."

He Guanchang didn't understand what Bao Shaogang had done. He looked at the other party curiously, as if he wanted Bao Shaogang to help him solve his doubts.

"Sammo Hung, the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City, and Wang Jing and others, Mr. He, if these people leave Lin Daoqiu, then even if he is powerful, what is the use?"

He Guanchang didn't expect Bao Shaogang's appetite to be so big. The people he pointed out were all Lin Daoqiu's right-hand men. If they were all poached away, then only Lin Daoqiu and an empty shell would be left in New Oriental.

But if these people were poached so easily, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would not be troubled until now.

They had tried their best before to invite Sammo Hung back to Golden Harvest to make a sequel to "Five Lucky Stars". Now it is almost impossible to dig him out of Lin Daoqiu's hands.

Looking at He Guanchang's questioning eyes, Bao Shaogang felt like laughing, he even guessed what the other person was thinking.

"Mr. He, I know it is really difficult to recruit these people, but I have plenty of time, and I don't expect to defeat Lin Daoqiu in one shot, but if Golden Harvest cooperates with me, I will get three of the box office share, you guys Take seven."

In fact, Bao Shaogang would give up the benefits, which He Guanchang had already guessed from the very beginning, so he was not surprised at all by this.

He just didn't expect the other party to be so courageous and willing to give Golden Harvest [-]% of the box office.

Even if he never thought about cooperating with him, the condition proposed by the other party still makes people feel itchy.

"Mr. He, you can go back and discuss it with Mr. Zou. As long as we join forces, Lin Daoqiu will definitely not be able to play for a long time, because I have plenty of ways to keep him from getting along."
