Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1128 You think too much of yourself

If it weren't for the fact that he almost lost all his money in the successful cinema, Wu Siyuan would not have dared to confront Fugeluo.

But the problem now is that once the overseas agency rights are taken away by the Hong Kong government, the success of the theaters will definitely be over.

Just relying on the box office income of Xiangjiang movies, they can't make much money at all, let alone they don't make movies.

"Mr. Fuguero, I still insist on my opinion. The affairs of the film industry should not be intervened by outsiders. Since the opening of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang movies have achieved great success, and now they are famous all over the world. I hope to maintain this momentum."

The implication of Wu Siyuan's words is that once the Hong Kong government intervenes, the good momentum of Hong Kong Films will be ruined in their hands.

After hearing what Wu Siyuan said, Fugeluo frowned immediately.

"I understand what Wu Siyuan means, what do you guys think?"

Fugro did not directly refute what Wu Siyuan said, but turned to ask the other people present what they meant.

"I think Mr. Wu's point is very pertinent. Matters in the film industry should be left to professional people. There is no need to bother the Hong Kong government."

"I also support Mr. Wu. There is no need for the Hong Kong government to intervene."

"That's it... It's rare for Xiangjiang Films to have such a good momentum now. It should continue to follow the previous model. There is no need to do anything extra."

Except for Run Run Shaw, no one else at the scene was willing to stand up and support the establishment of an agency by the Hong Kong government to be responsible for the overseas distribution rights of Hong Kong films.

"It seems that there is still a lot of disagreement on this matter. If this is the case, let's postpone it for the time being and wait for the next discussion."

Seeing that things were not going in the direction he expected, Fugro simply postponed the matter. After all, he is a special representative sent by the Hong Kong government and has the greatest authority among all the people present.

Although he couldn't decide this matter with a single sentence, he still had the right to postpone the discussion.

After the meeting, led by Liao Junhao, everyone except Lin Daoqiu was invited to a teahouse for a second meeting.

As soon as they sat down, someone couldn't help criticizing Run Run Shaw.

"Sixth Uncle has a big appetite. He wanted to monopolize the overseas agency rights. Fortunately, we insisted on our own opinions and he didn't succeed."

"I hope that everyone will persevere in the next meeting and never let Run Run Shaw succeed."

Liao Junhao is the most excited among these people. After all, overseas agency rights are related to all their interests. Once they lose it, they will suffer heavy losses.

Others nodded their heads when they heard what Liao Junhao said. Leaving aside Liao Junhao, overseas income is a big deal for them, so how could they give up.

But among the people present, Zou Wenhuai had a very serious expression.

It stands to reason that Run Run Shaw should be on their side and help deal with Lin Daoqiu, but he didn't expect him to take advantage of the fire and come up with such a trick to monopolize the overseas agency rights of Xiangjiang Films.

What Zou Wenhuai is worried about now is that if Uncle Liu and Fugeluo have any other plans, then they will be in trouble.

And there is another reason that made him so anxious, that is, when he was leaving just now, Zou Wenhuai found out that Lin Daoqiu left with Run Run Shaw.

Seeing this scene, he was even more disturbed, because if these two people get together, God knows what they will do.

…………

"Why is Mr. Lin interested in asking me out for tea? I thought you should hate me."

Run Run Shaw was puzzled by Lin Daoqiu's initiative to invite him to drink tea.

After all, he was the one who pushed this bill against Lin Daoqiu, so it stands to reason that he should hate himself very much.

But Lin Daoqiu acted like a normal person, took the initiative to make tea, and even poured a cup for Run Run Shaw.

"Uncle Liu was joking, you are my senior, how could I hate you, and...you think too much of yourself."

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Run Run Shaw immediately frowned.

But soon he was relieved. After all, Lin Daoqiu was only 25 years old at this time. Young people are young and energetic.

Since Lin Daoqiu was angry, it proved that he had really hit his sore spot, so he should be happy.

"Since Mr. Lin thinks I'm insignificant, why did he just ask me out instead of other people? This makes me very curious."

Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, then picked up the cup of tea that Lin Daoqiu poured for him, and drank it in small sips.

"I asked my sixth uncle to meet to talk about important things. They are of no value to me at all. I don't need to spend time on them."

Lin Daoqiu said this very domineeringly, but it is true.

Run Run Shaw nodded again and again in agreement.

"I don't know what important things Mr. Lin is going to talk to me about. I'm all ears."

Run Run Shaw put on a very serious expression.

Lin Daoqiu sat up straight first, then looked at Run Run Shaw seriously and said.

"Didn't Uncle Liu want to monopolize the overseas agency rights of Xiangjiang Films? I think I can help Uncle Liu."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Run Run Shaw immediately showed a strange expression on his face.

Lin Daoqiu actually wanted to help himself?This is simply an incredible thing.

You must know that if you can hold the overseas agency rights of Xiangjiang Films in your own hands, then you will be choking the necks of all filmmakers in Xiangjiang, including Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin is really good at joking. This is a matter of the Hong Kong government. It is not under my control, and it has nothing to do with me."

Run Run Shaw naturally would not admit in front of Lin Daoqiu that he wanted it.

"Then Uncle Six thinks I should help the Hong Kong government?"

Lin Daoqiu did not expose Run Run Shaw's words, but asked him in another way.

"I think that any enthusiastic citizen of Hong Kong should help the Hong Kong government to build Hong Kong into a better place. I have always been doing things with this idea in mind."

What Shaw said was impeccable.

But the question now is, if Lin Daoqiu really wants to do this, what benefits does he want to get?
Run Run Shaw didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu would do him such a big favor without asking for anything in return.

"I guess Uncle Liu must be thinking now, what kind of benefits should be given to me before I am willing to help you promote this matter."

Run Run Shaw smiled and said nothing, he neither admitted nor denied.

"Actually, Uncle Six doesn't need to worry so much. I don't want any benefits. The reason is very simple, that is, I plan to end Xiangjiang's film career and move everything to Hollywood to work hard..."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu's words came out, regardless of whether they were true or not, Run Run Shaw's expression changed suddenly...
