Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 700 Three Conditions
In the room Hein arranged for himself, he could see the outside scenery from the window.
And as long as you open the windows, you can directly breathe the freshest air.

This is indeed a good place to recuperate. After staying here for a long time, Lin Daoqiu also feels that his whole body has become more energetic.

Although he didn't know why Lawrence and the others came to him, Lin Daoqiu felt that this might be an opportunity.

It's just to prevent them from digging holes, so as not to count the money for the other party when they are sold.

And not long after Lin Daoqiu settled down, there was a knock on the door.

After Lin Daoqiu responded, Langmeyer pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I hope this journey has not made you feel uncomfortable."

Langmeyer walked in with an apologetic face. He was like a sculpture in the room just now.

Although he is the president of Universal Pictures, in the final analysis he is just a part-time worker.

When he invited Lin Daoqiu over, he was only following orders.

"It's okay, suddenly a pie fell from the sky, if you are not careful, you will be knocked out."

Lin Daoqiu meant something, but Langmeyer just laughed and didn't continue.

"Mr. Lin, although I don't know much about Xiangjiang, I have also heard about Baoyun International. If you really have a conflict with them, I sincerely suggest that you accept the boss' request."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Lang Mayer and asked him with a smile.

"What's the matter, your boss is worried and sent you here as a lobbyist again?"

Langmeyer quickly shook his head.

"That's not true. The boss just told me to invite you here. I don't need to intervene in other matters, and my words are unlikely to affect your judgment."

Langmeyer knew very well that his relationship with Lin Daoqiu was actually very ordinary. To put it bluntly, he was just a partner, and at most they were just ordinary friends.

He didn't think he could influence Lin Daoqiu, so old Lawrence wouldn't be so stupid as to ask him to be a lobbyist, that would be too impatient.

"By the way, what's the matter with "Home Alone"? Now that it's here, I still want to settle this matter first."

Leaving aside old Lawrence and the others, what Lin Daoqiu is most concerned about now is whether they will buy the copyright of "Home Alone".

Langmeyer thought about it, and still told the truth.

"The copyright of "Home Alone" has been discussed at the board of directors. The opinions of the directors are not consistent. There are many people who are in favor and against. It is still in a stalemate."

Although Langmeyer is the president of Universal Pictures, when it comes to such a large amount of money, he does not have the right to make a decision and can only let the directors discuss it.

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that this matter would not go so smoothly.

"So I'm afraid this matter will have to be deadlocked for a while?"

Lin Daoqiu frowned slightly. He didn't have to sell the copyright to Universal Pictures, but he planned to sell it to an acquaintance because everyone knew each other well.

If Universal Pictures had such an attitude, Lin Daoqiu would not mind contacting other companies. He did not believe that those people would fail to see the potential of "Home Alone".

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, this matter will have a result soon, and I believe you will get a satisfactory answer by then."

Although Langmeyer said this on his lips, he was actually beating drums in his heart.

Those directors who objected didn't mean not to buy it, but hoped to lower the amount, preferably [-] million.

If the board of directors really made such a decision at that time, Langmeyer believed that Lin Daoqiu would definitely not even think about it, and would directly take the copyright of "Home Alone" to find other companies to cooperate with.

Don't look at him earning a lot of money from Universal Pictures, but this kind of thing is mutually beneficial. Compared with Lin Daoqiu, Universal Pictures actually makes more money, but everyone knows it.

"Mr. Langmeyer, I believe you should know me well. If the price is less than [-] million, then I'm afraid I can only say sorry."

Lin Daoqiu could more or less guess the reason for their stalemate, probably because of the price.

But Lin Daoqiu would not give up the price of [-] million. He would rather make a few films himself to make money than sell the copyright of "Home Alone" cheaply.

Langmeyer left after staying in Lin Daoqiu's room for a short time. The company still had a lot of work to do, so he couldn't stay here all the time.

After staying in the manor for several days, Lin Daoqiu got enough relaxation. He even planned to build a manor in the future, take his own woman over, and enjoy the pastoral life here.

…………

"Mr. Lin, are you resting well these days?"

On this day, Lin Daoqiu asked the butler, Hai En, to invite the old Lawrence father and son over. It seemed that he was going to have a showdown.

"Very good, thank you Mr. Lawrence for your thoughtful arrangement."

Lin Daoqiu nodded with a smile.

Old Lawrence seemed a little impatient and wanted to know Lin Daoqiu's answer right away, so he simply asked the other party directly.

"I don't know about that matter, how did Mr. Lin think about it?"

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Lin Daoqiu wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"I can promise to help you deal with the Bao family, but in addition to what you promised before, you have to promise me three conditions."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Old Lawrence immediately showed displeasure.

But when he heard Foden cough, he immediately turned his head to look at Foden, and found that his son nodded slightly, so he turned around and said to Lin Daoqiu.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please tell me what the conditions are."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and stretched out three fingers towards the other party.

"First, I need a three-year loan of 20 billion U.S. dollars. Second, after the completion, I will buy all the shares of Universal Pictures in your hands at a price that is not lower than the market price. Third, I would like to ask for blessings. Mr. Deng is going to Xiangjiang."

"no……"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, the old Lawrence directly rejected these conditions offered by Lin Daoqiu.

But the problem is, Lin Daoqiu doesn't know which one he is against.

Old Lawrence didn't look very happy, he frowned, it seemed that Lin Daoqiu said something that made him very unhappy.

"Mr. Lin, we need to discuss these conditions of yours. Please wait a moment."

Foden leaned into Old Lawrence's ear, and without knowing what to say, the two stood up and left the table directly.

Lin Daoqiu nodded with a smile, said please go ahead, then lowered his head and continued to eat the steak.

After Foden and old Lawrence entered the next room and closed the door, old Lawrence roared angrily.

"This bastard is simply blackmailing us. He wants to let you go to Xiangjiang. This is just kidding me. I will never allow it."

Lin Daoqiu probably didn't expect that what dissatisfied Old Lawrence the most was the third condition he asked.
