Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 894 Expulsion Order

What Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that the first meeting with Pan Disheng was in his office.

On the third day after the opening of Dibao Cinemas, Pan Disheng came directly to Lin Daoqiu's office to meet him.

When Lin Daoqiu saw Pan Disheng for the first time, he felt that the other party was a gentle and refined young man.

In him, he doesn't have the sense of a merchant, but more like a scholar.

"Mr. Lin, I have admired your great name for a long time, and seeing him today really lives up to his reputation."

Pan Disheng stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu who had come to greet him.

"Mr. Pan, you're being polite. Speaking of which, we are considered colleagues now, and we need to get closer in the future."

To say that Lin Daoqiu has an excellent impression of Pan Disheng is not to say.

After all, Pan Disheng suddenly barged in and snatched his prey away. Lin Daoqiu did not refuse to meet him, which was already a good deal for the other party.

"At first, I was still worried. I couldn't see Mr. Lin today. It seems that I was worrying too much."

In fact, when Pan Disheng came to see Lin Daoqiu today, he was ready to be rejected.

"Mr. Pan, please be polite, this way please..."

Although Lin Daoqiu was a little annoyed by the other party, he didn't know if it was because of the time travel.

Lin Daoqiu felt that Pan Disheng's purchase of Kowloon Cinemas seemed destined to happen.

Although some things can be changed by traveling by oneself, some things are destined to happen when they are about to happen.

This belongs to the scope of metaphysics, Lin Daoqiu has never dabbled in it, and he does not intend to study it.

If it can be explained in three words, it is destiny.

After inviting Pan Disheng to sit down in the sofa area, Pan Disheng spoke.

"Mr. Lin, since I planned to enter the film industry, I have carefully studied the matter of New Oriental and Mr. Lin."

Lin Daoqiu didn't make a sound, but nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Lin started from scratch and made many high-quality film and television dramas. He is a well-known movie tycoon. Speaking of which, I am just a junior in front of you."

Pan Disheng kept his attitude very low. After all, his understanding of the film industry was simply not comparable to that of Lin Daoqiu.

And today Pan Disheng came to Lin Daoqiu to talk about the reorganization of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Although he didn't say he wanted to please the other party, Pan Disheng knew very well that he couldn't put his stance too high.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and waved his hands.

"Mr. Pan, you are being polite. I was just lucky before, and these things have passed, so there is no need to mention them again."

Pan Disheng's posture was very low, which also made Lin Daoqiu realize that the other party came to see him, probably not just for a meeting.

This also made Lin Daoqiu very curious about why Pan Disheng came to find him.

After thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu guessed several possibilities, all related to the cinema.

Pan Disheng bought Kowloon Cinemas from Golden Harvest, so it is impossible to plan to operate it alone, and he doesn't have too many stars under his command.

Even with Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and the Hong family class, it is impossible for the entire theater chain to show only Sammo Hung and his films for a year.

Therefore, the alliance between Dibao and Golden Harvest can be said to be a certainty.

Because of the joining of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, it may be possible to slightly reverse the predicament that Golden Harvest faced before.

But if you want to make money, Pan Disheng's ambition may not stop there.

"Mr. Lin, a few years ago, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and New Oriental jointly formed Xiangjiang Cinemas. At that time, Xiangjiang Films flourished, but it didn't continue afterwards. I personally feel very sorry."

When Pan Disheng said this, Lin Daoqiu had already guessed what the purpose of Pan Disheng's coming to find him today was.

But he still pretended not to know anything, and smiled and nodded over there.

"If Xiangjiang Films wants to have a good development, the theaters must unite and exchange all resources. I hope that this time, New Oriental, Golden Harvest, and Dibao can reorganize Xiangjiang Cinemas."

Regarding this matter, when Pan Disheng was negotiating with Golden Harvest to buy Kowloon Cinemas, he promised the other party that he would persuade Lin Daoqiu to accept his opinion.

So Pan Disheng took the initiative to come to the door today, hoping to persuade Lin Daoqiu to allow the three companies to reorganize Xiangjiang Cinemas.

"I agree with Mr. Pan's idea. If it was two years ago, I would definitely agree, but it's a pity now, I'm not interested."

Pan Disheng did not expect Lin Daoqiu to refuse so simply, but in fact this was also within his expectation.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. Mr. Zou Wenhuai and I have already discussed it. After the reorganization of Xiangjiang Cinemas, you will still be the major shareholder and manage the affairs of the cinemas, just like before."

Pan Disheng is not stupid enough, he wants to be the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and also control the management of the entire cinema, because there is no one more suitable for this position than Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Pan misunderstood. The reason why I refused is because I don't have the energy to take care of so many things. I'm sorry about the reorganization of the theater. I can't promise you."

Lin Daoqiu poured cold water on Pan Disheng on the spot.

Before coming, Pan Disheng was full of confidence and wanted to persuade Lin Daoqiu to agree to his proposal.

But what Pan Disheng never expected was that he not only bought the Kowloon Cinemas, but also poached Sammo Hung and the others away, which already made Lin Daoqiu very upset.

Unexpectedly, he would dare to make such a request to Lin Daoqiu. What did he think of himself?

"Mr. Lin, the advantages of reorganizing theaters outweigh the disadvantages. I hope you can seriously consider it. I..."

Things have exceeded Pan Disheng's expectation, he never expected Lin Daoqiu's attitude to be so firm.

He raised his hand and interrupted Pan Disheng's next words. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu had made up his mind.

"There's no need to talk about this matter. I'm here to wish Mr. Pan a great future. I still have work to do, so I won't waste your time."

Lin Daoqiu directly issued the order to evict the guest, which made Pan Disheng very embarrassed.

After leaving New Oriental, he got into the car, and Sammo Hung had been waiting for Pan Disheng in the car for quite a while.

"What did Mr. Lin say?"

If possible, Sammo Hung still hopes that Lin Daoqiu can agree.

But unfortunately, Pan Disheng shook his head. He was a little too confident before, thinking that he would be able to convince Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Pan, I don't think Mr. Lin will agree. The only way now is to form a joint theater chain with Golden Harvest."

Sammo Hung's suggestion is actually an unavoidable solution.

But what he didn't expect was that Pan Disheng shook his head directly and rejected Sammo Hung's proposal.

"If I join forces with Golden Harvest to form a new cinema chain, then from now on, Dibao Cinemas will never have the opportunity to cooperate with New Oriental."
