Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2316 Fat Peng's Intention

"Uncle Six has been silent for so long, and he suddenly wants to reopen the film company. It is not necessary to think that it must be the impetus given to him by Chief Peng. But now that the overall situation of Xiangjiang Films has been decided, I am curious what Uncle Six has in mind?"

Li Maowen really couldn't figure it out. If it was the past, it would be fine, but now that Xiangjiang Cinemas is under the control of New Oriental, even if Run Run Shaw reopens the film company, it is impossible for him to rise again.

In the past, they relied on the theater chains to pinch New Oriental's neck, and came up with the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", and they could only choose between the theater chains and the film companies.

Wei Yixin abolished this bill after he took office, but the problem is that more than [-]% of the theaters in Hong Kong are now under the name of New Oriental, what can Uncle Liu do to make a comeback this time?
"If I'm not mistaken, Chief Peng and Uncle Six will probably work hard on the monopoly law."

Lin Daoqiu thought for a while, and he felt that there was no other possibility except for the anti-monopoly law that Fei Peng and Run Run Shaw could come up with.

If there is no way to limit the holdings of theater chains, then there is no threat to Lin Daoqiu if the sixth uncle only opens a film company.

"You mean they intend to limit the number of theaters we can control?"

After Li Maowen heard what Lin Daoqiu said, he immediately understood.

"Although I'm not sure they will do this [-]%, but from the current point of view, apart from this method, it is almost impossible for Sixth Uncle to use other methods to defeat us."

Li Maowen nodded while listening, he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said was right, but he was not worried about it, and the New Oriental at this time was very different from before.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu's identity has changed from the head of Xiangjiang Films to a world-renowned film tycoon, not to mention that Lin Daoqiu also owns an MGM film company, and has formed a joint venture with Toei and Shochiku in Neon. .

With Sixth Uncle's current strength, it wasn't that Li Maowen underestimated him, but that it was impossible for him to beat Lin Daoqiu in the film industry.

If Lin Daoqiu was more ruthless, who would dare to support Run Run Shaw and the others? He had many ways to make the films made by those who supported Run Run Shaw unprofitable.

"There is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. I believe that Chief Peng will invite me to meet at the Governor's Mansion soon. At that time, I believe he should clarify what he wants to do."

Fei Peng didn't keep Lin Daoqiu waiting too long, and two days later Fei Peng sent someone to New Oriental to invite Lin Daoqiu to the Governor's Mansion for a briefing.

Lin Daoqiu directly agreed to the other party's invitation, and then followed the people sent by Fei Peng to the Governor's Mansion.

In the past few days, Fei Peng has been wandering outside, putting on a very friendly attitude, drinking herbal tea and eating snacks, walking around the construction site market a few times, and then taking the subway again.

It can be said that the people on the Xiangjiang side feel that Fei Peng is a very friendly governor after a series of performances in the past few days.

And Fei Peng naturally won a lot of pages because of this, the news and newspapers these days basically revolved around his itinerary for the past few days.

However, Lin Daoqiu was not at all interested in these things that Fei Peng did. He knew that this guy with a hidden knife in his smile called him to the Governor's Mansion, he must be holding back something bad and waiting for him.

When Lin Daoqiu arrived at the Governor's Mansion, what was different from meeting Wei Yixin in the past was that this time Fei Peng stood directly at the door of the office to greet Lin Daoqiu. It can be said that his posture was very good.

But Fei Peng's way of respecting corporals is useless to Lin Daoqiu, because Lin Daoqiu looks down on Fei Peng from the bottom of his heart.

"Hi Mr. Lin, welcome."

Fei Peng stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Daoqiu, and then invited him into his office.

Coffee was served immediately after entering.

Fei Peng's office looks very ordinary, without that luxurious feeling. Compared with his predecessor, Wei Yixin, Fei Peng has removed a lot of things, making the room look a lot more streamlined.

"The thing my predecessors liked to do most was to stay in the office, so they dressed up the office glamorously, but I am different. I like to go outside and contact the people so that I can hear the most authentic voice."

Lin Daoqiu just smiled at this, Lin Daoqiu knew exactly what Fei Peng wanted to do, so he didn't intend to expose Fei Peng.

"Mr. Lin is invited to come here today because I want to talk to you about Xiangjiang Film and Television, especially the issues of the film and television industry."

"Please speak."

Lin Daoqiu nodded, he wanted to know what Fei Peng wanted to do.

Fei Peng knew very well in his heart that Lin Daoqiu must have known the first Run Run Shaw he was looking for, and after he finished looking for Run Run Shaw, the other party immediately restarted the Shaw Brothers film company.

Lin Daoqiu would definitely find such an approach very strange, and he must have realized that without his own support, Run Run Shaw would never dare to restart the film company.

It's just that for Fei Peng, Lin Daoqiu's trend makes him unable to judge. The best way is to lower the risk, and even let more people come to their side.

As the head of the Xiangjiang film and television industry, if the person sitting in this seat is not Fei Peng and his own people, it will make him feel very uneasy.

Because at this time, Xiangjiang is most famous in the film and television industry. In the entire Asian region, Xiangjiang movies have gradually spread to the whole of Asia since the 70s, and the rise of kung fu movies has made Xiangjiang movies world-renowned.

It's just that in Fei Peng's view, his predecessor Wei Yixin made a mistake in supporting Xiangjiang Films, that is, he fully supported Lin Daoqiu and drove everyone else away.

In the situation where New Oriental was the only one, Lin Daoqiu did not give Ying Jili much support, but was more inclined to the other side. This is a situation that Fei Peng can never tolerate and never wants to see.

Therefore, with the power in his hands, he wants to change this status quo. He wants Lin Daoqiu to stand on their side with a clear banner. If he can't or is unwilling to do so, then Fei Peng will let the head of Xiangjiang Film Get someone else to do it.

"I think no matter what industry it is, it needs an environment where a hundred flowers bloom. If it is too single, it will form a monopoly, which is never a good thing for an industry."

Hearing what Fei Peng said, Lin Daoqiu was not surprised at all, because before he came, he had already guessed that Fei Peng planned to deal with him from the perspective of anti-monopoly.

But Fei Peng quickly added to Lin Daoqiu.

"My words are definitely not aimed at you or New Oriental. I just hope that Xiangjiang Films can have a more open environment. At least some changes must be made compared with before."

"I don't know what change Chief Peng refers to?"
