Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 855 Unexpected Negotiation

"Sanmao must be worried about Mr. Lin."

He Guanchang didn't need to think about it to know that the biggest reason why Sammo Hung refused so simply was Lin Daoqiu.

Sammo Hung smiled and said nothing, but judging from the expression on his face, He Guanchang must have guessed right.

"I know that San Mao and A Biao still have a lot of concerns. This time I sincerely invite the two to return to Golden Harvest, so I can wait."

He Guanchang did not give up because of Sammo Hung's refusal.

However, he also knew very well that it was almost impossible to convince Hong Jinbao now, so he could only wait.

…………

"They all rejected such a favorable condition?"

After returning to Golden Harvest, He Guanchang immediately came to Zou Wenhuai's office.

Hearing that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao rejected the conditions offered by Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai was not very happy.

Although he also guessed before, it would be very difficult to invite Hong Jinbao and the others back this time.

But what he didn't expect was that they would refuse such a generous offer.

"I guess San Mao thinks that even if we buy the Kowloon Cinemas, we probably won't be able to compete with Lin Daoqiu."

Although this was just He Guanchang's guess, when he finished speaking, the expression on Zou Wenhuai's face became even worse.

"Forget it, let's put their affairs aside for now. The most important thing now is the negotiation with Lin Daoqiu."

Zou Wenhuai is not a fool, for Jiahe to contend with Lin Daoqiu is definitely the next best thing to do.

After careful consideration of He Guanchang's previous proposal, he felt that this method was really good.

As long as Lin Daoqiu is willing to accept all their demands, they don't have to worry about the income.

However, Zou Wenhuai insisted that if Golden Harvest wants to take the bulk of the new theater chain, the boss can give it to Lin Daoqiu, but they must get the most income.

"Mr. Zou, I'm afraid Lin Daoqiu will not agree to let us occupy the majority of the theater chain. The ratio of [-]% is the limit that Lin Daoqiu can accept."

This sentence is obviously not what Zou Wenhuai likes to hear, but it is the answer given by He Guanchang after careful consideration.

"Talk to him first and see what he means."

Zou Wenhuai really didn't want to, he just bought the Kowloon Cinemas, and now he has to be inferior to Lin Daoqiu.

Regarding Zou Wenhuai's request, He Guanchang could only nod his head and agree.

…………

When he received the call from He Guanchang, Lin Daoqiu actually knew about his meeting with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

There are very few impenetrable walls in this world, let alone this time, Sammo Hung took the initiative to report this matter to Lin Daoqiu.

Regarding He Guanchang's poaching behavior, this was actually within Lin Daoqiu's expectation.

Golden Harvest has now discovered that there is no way to make money if there are empty theaters but not enough good stars.

Although it is understandable, it does not mean that Lin Daoqiu will act as if nothing happened.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

When the door of the box was opened, as soon as Lin Daoqiu entered, He Guanchang had already stood up from his chair.

"I thought Golden Harvest should be busy with the new theater chain now, but I didn't expect that there is still time to think about my New Oriental people."

Lin Daoqiu sounded choked as soon as he entered the door.

From Lin Daoqiu's words, He Guanchang immediately realized that Sammo Hung had already told him about it.

"Hehe...Mr. Lin was joking. New Oriental has a lot of talents, and anyone who picks them out can be the lead actor. Golden Harvest is also very keen."

Lin Daoqiu looked at He Guanchang with a half-smile, then walked to the chair opposite him and sat down.

"Golden Harvest also has many outstanding actors, such as Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen. I don't know if Mr. He minds if I look hot?"

Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen can be said to be the lifeblood of Golden Harvest. If they are poached by Lin Daoqiu, Golden Harvest will suffer a heavy loss.

If it were someone else who said this to He Guanchang, he really wouldn't take these things to heart.

But the person who said this was Lin Daoqiu, so He Guanchang had to start to take it seriously.

"Mr. Lin was joking. How can Ah Wen and Aaron compare to the stars of New Oriental? They are more suitable to stay in Golden Harvest."

He Guanchang asked Lin Daoqiu to meet today. Originally, he wanted to talk about getting the other party to agree to accept Golden Harvest's request and form a new theater chain.

But now Lin Daoqiu suddenly brought the topic to Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen, which made He Guanchang immediately nervous.

"Mr. He, Golden Harvest and Bao Shaogang teamed up to deal with me before. I never thought of revenge on you. I didn't expect that when you bought the Kowloon Cinemas, the first move was to poach my people. Do you think I can do that?" Can you swallow this breath?"

If Lin Daoqiu didn't express something, Jiahe would probably get even worse in the future.

If you don't chop off their outstretched hands, your own troubles will only become more in the future.

He Guanchang was so frightened by Lin Daoqiu's words that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Golden Harvest has only two options now. Sell part of the Kowloon Cinemas to me. You will get [-]% and I will get [-]%..."

When He Guanchang heard this, his eyes widened immediately. He raised his head and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Daoqiu raising his hand.

"Second, I will try my best to lure Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen to New Oriental. I believe that Mr. He should know how attractive Hollywood is to Aaron. The only person who can make him famous in Hollywood is me."

This sentence can only be convincing if it is said by Lin Daoqiu. If it is replaced by other people, it will only be treated as a joke.

At first, he thought that he occupied the upper peak, but when he heard Lin Daoqiu's words, He Guanchang immediately became nervous.

"Mr. Lin, Golden Harvest would never agree to a [-]% ratio. I think [-]% should be a more reasonable distribution."

He Guanchang didn't even dare to offer [-]% of the price now, and he was even worried that after the talks collapsed this time, Lin Daoqiu would soon start poaching Aaron.

"Mr. He, my conditions have already been settled. What to do is up to Golden Harvest to decide. I will not change this condition. I still have something to do, so excuse me."

Lin Daoqiu didn't even drink a cup of tea, so he got up and left immediately after speaking.

He Guanchang couldn't even call out to him from behind, so he could only watch Lin Daoqiu leave the box like this.

Originally, He Guanchang thought that the negotiation this time would be a tug-of-war, but he did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would make a big fuss by poaching Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao himself.

If he had known that this would happen, He Guanchang would never have picked this time to go to Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao.

But it's too late to say that now.
