Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 850 Drag

After putting down the phone, He Guanchang had a sad expression on his face.

He didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to know so soon that Bao Shaogang was about to sell the Kowloon Cinemas.

If you can give them some time, the deal will be completed without anyone noticing.

At that time, even if Lin Daoqiu knew, he had no way to intervene in this matter at that time.

But now, there are only two paths before Jiahe.

One is to buy the Kowloon Cinemas, and then continue to fight with Lin Daoqiu. If one year fails, then two years, if two years fail, then five years.

Another way is to split the Kowloon Cinemas into parts and sell them to Lin Daoqiu.

As for whether the share remaining in Jiahe's hands is more or less, it depends on the result of the negotiation.

Shaking his head, he quickly got up and left his office.

He Guanchang must discuss this matter with Zou Wenhuai as soon as possible.

He Guanchang turned back not long after leaving, which made Zou Wenhuai realize that something might have happened.

"Lin Daoqiu already knew that we were going to buy the Kowloon Cinemas."

As soon as He Guanchang entered, he said something that Zou Wenhuai least wanted to hear.

"How did he know?"

Zou Wenhuai really couldn't understand how Lin Daoqiu could have received the news so quickly since this matter was so secretive.

He Guanchang shook his head, he didn't know how Lin Daoqiu knew.

"Mr. Zou, it's useless to pursue this now. Lin Daoqiu said that if we buy the Kowloon Cinemas, there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future."

Zou Wenhuai is by no means a person who is easily threatened by others.

Ever since he left Shaw Brothers and took He Guanchang and Liang Feng with him to found Golden Harvest, he had never seen any turmoil.

Compared with Lin Daoqiu, Sixth Uncle put more pressure on them before. Zou Wenhuai didn't back down then, and even less now.

"Don't pay attention to him. After we buy the Kowloon Cinemas, we will find a way to get Sanmao and the others back. Then Lin Daoqiu will naturally have nothing to worry about."

Although Zou Wenhuai said so, he didn't think so in his heart.

If Sammo Hung and the others were so easy to dig, Baojia Cinemas would have already overwhelmed New Oriental.

Jiahe has already teamed up with Bao Shaogang, but they can't do anything to Lin Daoqiu.

It is obviously even more impossible to defeat Lin Daoqiu with the Jiahe family alone.

"Mr. Zou, I don't know if I should say something or not."

He Guanchang thought for a while, but still planned to speak out what was in his heart.

"Well...you tell me."

Zou Wenhuai raised his head and glanced at He Guanchang, then nodded.

"Antagonizing Lin Daoqiu is not beneficial to us at all, but cooperating with him has a lot of benefits. Since the establishment of Baojia Cinemas, the income has not been as good as before. I believe you are very clear about the reason."

He Guanchang's words made Zou Wenhuai become silent all of a sudden.

If possible, Zou Wenhuai certainly hopes to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

But the problem now is that if the Kowloon Cinemas is given over to Lin Daoqiu, Golden Harvest will always be inferior to Lin Daoqiu in Xiangjiang from now on.

And the other party is still so young, but Zou Wenhuai is already 56 years old.

If he conceded at this time, it would be tantamount to handing over Xiangjiang's film industry to Lin Daoqiu, which was what Zou Wenhuai did not want to see the last time.

"Hey...how come I don't know about this, but Guanchang, if the Kowloon Cinemas is given over to Lin Daoqiu, Golden Harvest will never be able to stand out in the future."

He Guanchang was naturally aware of Zou Wenhuai's worries.

"Instead of choosing to confront Lin Daoqiu, we can actually find a way to let Lin Daoqiu strengthen our strength."

"How to do it?"

What He Guanchang said immediately aroused Zou Wenhuai's interest.

"Let him provide Aaron with three Hollywood scripts. In addition, when the Xiangjiang Cinemas are reorganized, we must account for [-]% of the shares. In addition, the actors in the Xiangjiang Cinemas are free to move, and no restrictions are allowed."

The methods He Guanchang thought of can be said to be the most beneficial and the best conditions for Jiahe.

Once Lin Daoqiu really agreed, for Jiahe, they would be invincible.

"Do you think Lin Daoqiu will agree to these conditions we offer?"

Zou Wenhuai has already been persuaded by these conditions raised by He Guanchang, but the question now is what will happen if Lin Daoqiu does not agree to it.

"Mr. Zou, I believe he will agree, it's only a matter of time."

He Guanchang looked very confident. He felt that Lin Daoqiu had always been thinking about reorganizing Xiangjiang Cinemas and becoming the helm of Xiangjiang film industry.

Although these conditions did not seem to be very favorable to Lin Daoqiu, He Guanchang believed that he would definitely consider it seriously.

As long as Jiahe can afford it, He Guanchang is not afraid that Lin Daoqiu will not agree.

"Well then, go and have a talk with him. It's best if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, then just delay."

Zou Wenhuai just wants to buy the Kowloon Cinemas as soon as possible, so that they can take the lead in the next negotiation with Lin Daoqiu.

…………

The news that Bao Shao was about to sell the Kowloon Cinemas began to spread slowly two days later.

Regarding the game of the upper class, ordinary citizens and ordinary film and television practitioners all look at this matter with the mentality of watching a movie.

But for some people, the news came like a bolt from the blue.

Tsui Hark and Shi Tian were busy filming the next scene on the shooting site of "New Shushan Swordsman".

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei suddenly walked in from the outside with a look of despair.

"Where did you go, did you go to drink last night?"

As soon as Shi Tian saw Zeng Zhiwei's appearance, a very dissatisfied expression appeared on his face.

"New Shushan Swordsman" is about to wrap up, and now is the most critical moment for this drama.

He and Tsui Hark are busy filming in the crew almost every day, and Zeng Zhiwei went out to drink and have fun, which is simply too much.

Zeng Zhiwei didn't seem to hear Shi Tian's dissatisfaction.

He looks like a walking dead now, looking lifeless.

Tsui Hark was not as angry as Shi Tian, ​​but he could tell that Zeng Zhiwei seemed a little different today.

"Did something happen?"

Tsui Hark's first reaction was that something must have happened, otherwise Zeng Zhiwei would never look like this.

Zeng Zhiwei didn't answer Tsui Hark's question, he just nodded and stood there motionless.

"What happened, you should tell me quickly."

Shi Tian frowned, looking very dissatisfied.

"I just received news from Golden Harvest that Bao Shao is planning to sell Kowloon Cinemas to Golden Harvest. I've inquired about it, and it's true."

After Zeng Zhiwei finished speaking, Shi Tian and Tsui Hark's faces were only shocked.
