Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 849 Very Domineering

Originally, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had talked about this matter before.

They even planned to discuss it with Bao Shaogang first. If he wants to sell the theater by then, please sell it to Jiahe.

But what they never expected was that this happened faster than they expected.

"I don't know where Baoshao is now? If the Kowloon Cinemas is to be sold, it should be more appropriate for him to negotiate."

It's not that He Guanchang can't trust Shi Wenyan, but it's very inappropriate for Bao Shaogang, as the boss of Kowloon Cinemas, not to come forward for such a big deal.

"Bao Shao is inconvenient to come here now. He personally told me about the sale of Kowloon Cinemas. You don't have to doubt that."

Bao Shaogang's secretary was also present, so his words naturally meant Bao Shaogang's.

With Shi Wenyan and Bao Shaogang's secretaries present, He Guanchang would not have worried that they were making fun of him.

But what He Guanchang really can't understand is that just because "Teppanyaki" lost to Lin Daoqiu, Bao Shaogang rushed to sell the Kowloon Cinemas, which is simply unreasonable.

Although he vaguely sensed that something serious must have happened to Bao Shaogang, it was impossible for He Guanchang to guess what it was.

"I naturally don't doubt what the two of you said. If that's the case, let's start talking."

Buying the Kowloon Cinemas will double Golden Harvest's strength.

In this place of Xiangjiang, whoever can control enough theaters is the overlord of the Xiangjiang film circle.

But one thing that is not good for Golden Harvest is that even if they buy the Kowloon Cinemas, the stars and production level in their hands are still much worse than those of New Oriental.

If it is operated independently, it will still be in a state of loss just like Baojia Cinemas.

Therefore, they must join forces with Lin Daoqiu to form a new joint theater chain.

But Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang knew very well that Lin Daoqiu would never be inferior to others, and this was also a headache for them.

In the first contact, He Guanchang showed enough interest in Kowloon Cinemas, and it was only a matter of time before the deal was negotiated.

After returning to Golden Harvest, He Guanchang went directly to Zou Wenhuai's office and reported to him the progress of today's negotiations.

"There must be a problem with Bao Shaogang, but now is our good opportunity. As long as we buy the Kowloon Cinemas, we will be invincible."

He Guanchang's deduction is very simple, no matter what happens now, he must first buy the Kowloon Cinemas.

As for Lin Daoqiu's side, we will find a way to solve it by then.

"I see if it can be done like this. The cooperation with Lin Daoqiu will continue the previous model of Xiangjiang Cinemas, let him be the boss, and we will be the major shareholders."

Zou Wenhuai's idea is indeed wonderful, Lin Daoqiu wants to be famous, so let him take care of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Let him be the boss, let him be the decision maker, and let him make money for himself, so Golden Harvest naturally doesn't have to worry about income.

"I think it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to agree to our conditions."

Without even thinking about it, He Guanchang directly rejected Zou Wenhuai's proposal.

In his opinion, Lin Daoqiu has a strong desire to control. If he wants to reorganize Xiangjiang Cinemas at that time, he will definitely make a fuss about Kowloon Cinemas.

"The matter has come to this point, and if he refuses to agree, he can't change the reality. I think you should talk to him and find out what he has to say."

Zou Wenhuai was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, as long as the Kowloon Cinemas were bought by then, Lin Daoqiu must be the one who was anxious, not them.

He Guanchang actually had an idea in his mind that he was going to share with Zou Wenhuai, but the other party said so, so he could only swallow what he wanted to say.

In fact, He Guanchang wanted to buy Kowloon Cinemas together, and let Lin Daoqiu take the lead when reorganizing Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Golden Harvest must account for at least [-]%, perhaps only in this way, Lin Daoqiu will choose to cooperate with them.

Back in his office, not long after he sat down, the secretary came in and told He Guanchang about Lin Daoqiu's call just now.

"Understood, you go to work first."

After He Guanchang asked the secretary to withdraw, he immediately called Lin Daoqiu to go back.

"Mr. Lin, why call me when you have time?"

He Guanchang didn't think that Lin Daoqiu knew about Bao Shaogang's sale of Kowloon Cinemas, after all, very few people knew about it.

He originally thought that Lin Daoqiu had something else to discuss with him.

"Mr. He, if I'm not mistaken, you should have gone to the Kowloon Cinema just now."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, He Guanchang's eyes widened in shock.

"Mr. Lin sent someone to follow me?"

This was the first thought that popped into He Guanchang's mind.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't sent someone to follow him, how would he know about his going to the Kowloon Cinemas.

"Mr. He thinks too much. How could I send someone to follow you? I don't have any deep hatred with you."

Lin Daoqiu replied with a smile.

At this time, He Guanchang was still in shock. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Lin Daoqiu knew that he was going to the Kowloon Cinemas.

"Mr. He, the reason why I made this call is actually very simple. I hope that Golden Harvest can give me the Kowloon Cinema Line."

Domineering, He Guanchang felt for the first time that Lin Daoqiu was such a domineering guy.

While being shocked to know that Bao Shaogang was going to sell the Kowloon Cinemas, He Guanchang did not expect Lin Daoqiu to make such an outrageous request.

If Lin Daoqiu was allowed to buy the Kowloon Cinemas, Golden Harvest would probably only be inferior to Lin Daoqiu forever in Xiangjiang in the future. This was something they never wanted to see.

"Mr. Lin, I might as well tell you honestly that Kowloon Cinemas Golden Harvest is determined to win."

Lin Daoqiu was not too surprised by He Guanchang's answer.

After all, the purchase of Kowloon Cinemas is of extraordinary significance to both Golden Harvest and New Oriental.

"Mr. He, if Golden Harvest buys Kowloon Cinemas, then we may never have any possibility of cooperation in the future."

"Mr. Lin, are you threatening me?"

He Guanchang frowned all of a sudden, because Lin Daoqiu was obviously threatening him by saying this.

"If there is a better way, I don't want to say this. Mr. He should know that I do what I say. I hope you will carefully consider what I said."

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that He Guanchang was not the one who could make the decision, and it was Zou Wenhuai who could finally make the decision.

His purpose of making this call is actually very simple, to put pressure on Jiahe.

If they had to buy Kowloon Cinemas, then Lin Daoqiu wouldn't mind playing with them for a few more years. I don't know if Golden Harvest is interested in it.
