Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 219 Winning over Lin Daoqiu

Lei Juekun did not choose to pull out a theater chain on a sudden whim,
Most of the credit for all this must be attributed to Lin Daoqiu.

Because his appearance created the birth of tens of millions of box office, and there are still two consecutive films.

In addition to the relationship between Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan and the Xu brothers, Lei Juekun made up his mind to do this.

Since Lin Daoqiu was the one who moved Lei Juekun's heart, he naturally became the object of Lei Juekun's solicitation.

The reason why Lei Juekun didn't approach Lin Daoqiu immediately was because he was worried that Lin Daoqiu might not believe him if the theaters hadn't been pulled up yet.

So after he had prepared everything properly, he asked Lin Daoqiu out for tea.

Unlike Run Run Shaw's habit of drinking afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, Lei Juekun chose a Chinese-style tea house in Kowloon as the place to drink tea.

"This Lin Daoqiu's spectrum is really big, and we are waiting for him here."

As the son of the Chen family, Chen Rongmei has always been a proud and arrogant master. In his eyes, Lin Daoqiu is just a guy who makes movies, nothing special.

In Xiangjiang, whoever controls the theater chain is the real boss, and those who make movies have to bow their heads in front of them, so why let me wait for him.

"Mr. Chen, Lin Daoqiu is very important to our theater chain. If you don't want to wait, you can leave. I can also talk to him."

Lei Juekun didn't want to drive Lin Daoqiu away because of Chen Rongmei's relationship, that would be a big blow to the new theater chain.

"Mr. Lei, you may have taken Lin Daoqiu too seriously. [-]% of the dry stock plus [-]% of the box office share. With this condition, those who make movies may be able to line up from Kowloon to Victoria Bay."

In order to win over Lin Daoqiu, Lei Juekun decided to give Lin Daoqiu [-]% of the dry shares in the theaters, plus [-]% of the box office share, as a condition to win him over.

At the beginning, Chen Rongmei felt that this condition was too generous, and it was not bad to give him [-] percent, but in the end it was Lei Juekun's insistence that this matter was decided.

If Chen Rongmei is allowed to make a condition, the dry stock will be reduced to [-]%.

"Mr. Chen, if you were asked to spend 2000 million to make a movie, would you be willing?"

Lei Juekun suddenly changed the subject at this moment.

"2000 million to make a movie? Mr. Lei is not joking, if you really do that, then I must be crazy."

Chen Rongmei shook her head without even thinking about it, and asked him to spend 2000 million to make a movie, that didn't even think about it.

"At the beginning of the year, Run Run Shaw announced that he would invest 800 million US dollars to make a movie. As far as I know, Lin Daoqiu produced half of it."

As soon as Lei Juekun said this, Chen Rongmei was speechless.

It's not that he can't afford the money, it's just that if he had to choose, Chen Rongmei would rather invest the 2000 million in other places than make a movie.

"I sent someone to investigate Lin Daoqiu before. He just swam here last year. In less than a year, he made three movies and two TV series, all of which were big hits. You don't think such a person is worth [-]% of the shares." ?"

Lei Juekun did not say a word, that is, Lin Daoqiu, who has done these things, is not yet 19 years old.

If it was Chen Rongmei, I'm afraid she was either picking up girls, or on the way to have fun.

There was only one minute left before the agreed time, and Lin Daoqiu entered the teahouse just at this time.

In fact, when he received Lei Juekun's invitation, Lin Daoqiu had already guessed what the other party was going to say to him.

The reason why he didn't refuse was also because he was curious about what conditions the other party would offer him.

When Lin Daoqiu appeared in front of Lei Juekun and Chen Rongmei, the two couldn't help being surprised.

None of them thought that Lin Daoqiu was really that young.

"Hello Mr. Lin, this is Lei Juekun, this is Chen Rongmei."

"I have heard of your name for a long time. I am late because of the traffic jam on the road. I am really sorry to keep you two waiting for a long time."

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the owner of Kowloon Bus, the head of the Lei family, would be so polite in front of a young man.

If the time was adjusted back to a year ago, I believe that Lei Juekun would not even look at Lin Daoqiu at that time.

After the two parties were seated, Lin Daoqiu had the opportunity to take a closer look at the legendary Boss Lei.

It is precisely because of his appearance that the end-guarantee system was abolished, the legendary New Art City in Xiangjiang was created, the monopoly of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers was broken, and Shaw Brothers was forced to go out of business.

And when Lin Daoqiu was looking at Lei Juekun, the other party was also looking at him.

"Mr. Lin seems to be very interested in me?"

Lei Juekun felt very strange, he found that when Lin Daoqiu looked at him, he had an admiring look in his eyes.

"Boss Lei has done such a big thing, and it will cause a huge wave in Xiangjiang in the near future. It is normal for juniors to be curious about you."

Smiling and shaking his hands, Lei Juekun chose to enter the market only because he thought the movie would make money.

"Compared to me, Mr. Lin's achievements are more admirable. In less than a year, he has set off wave after wave in Xiangjiang. To be honest, I admire young talents like you very much."

"Boss Lei is being polite. I'm just lucky, and most of the credit can't be credited to me."

Lin Daoqiu was very humble, but Chen Rongmei made it very comfortable to listen to his humble words.

"I believe that Mr. Lin also knows that we plan to form a third theater chain. Why don't you come and help us? The conditions are easy to negotiate."

I don't know if it was stimulated by Lin Daoqiu, Chen Rongmei suddenly assumed a superior posture.

Lin Daoqiu, who was about to drink tea, was taken aback by Chen Rongmei's words.

This guy can't be an idiot, how can he invite someone with such an attitude.

Although I never thought of joining Lei Juekun's new theater chain at all, his words made people sound very uncomfortable.

Lei Juekun also noticed this problem, he coughed hastily.

"Mr. Lin, we sincerely invite you to join our new theater chain. As long as you are willing to come, we can negotiate any conditions."

I really want to kick Chen Rongmei out, but now Lei Juekun can only find a way to remedy it.

"The junior is just a vain name, and he doesn't deserve Boss Lei's attention."

Lin Daoqiu's rejection was not thorough enough, which gave Lei Juekun a glimmer of hope.

"If Mr. Lin is willing to join the new theater chain, I would like to offer [-]% of the theater chain's main shares. In addition, Mr. Lin's films will receive [-]% of the box office, and Mr. Lin's films have the priority to choose the schedule."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Lei Juekun to have such great courage, but the dry stock has no real control and can be canceled at any time.

As for the share of the box office and the schedule, these things are really attractive, but unfortunately Lin Daoqiu is not interested, so what Lei Juekun said is tantamount to white talk.
