Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 275 The Final Price
After knocking on the door and entering the room, Richardson never expected that he would meet Landry, director of Fox's distribution department, in Lin Daoqiu's room.

After a moment of astonishment, Richardson immediately adjusted his mood and walked into the room.

"Looks like I came at the wrong time."

After sitting down, Richardson first looked at Landry, then turned around and said something to Lin Daoqiu with a smile.

"Actually, I think you don't have to use it at all."

Landry is also very clear about Richardson's intentions, but in his opinion, Warner's price must be inferior to Fox's.

Although this movie has brought Fox a lot of income, but based on his understanding of Warner, they can only pay a price of about 5000 million at most.

"At least you haven't reached an agreement yet, so I'm not too late."

Richardson shrugged towards Landry, but at this time he was already feeling a little pessimistic about buying the copyright of Lin Daoqiu's play.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, that is, Fox is richer than Warner, and just one "Star Wars" has brought them hundreds of millions of dollars in income.

And Warner hasn't produced any particularly blockbuster movies in recent years, so naturally it can't compare to Fox in terms of money.

"Mr. Lin, since we can't reach an agreement for the time being, why don't you listen to what good news George has brought you?"

Landry was sure that Warner's offer was definitely far inferior to Fox's, so he wanted to hear the other party's offer.

"I'm curious about what good news Landry brought to Mr. Lin. You shouldn't mind letting me know."

Richardson was not stupid. The opponent wanted to see his hole cards, and he also wanted to see what Fox's hole cards were.

The two of them stared at each other like this, and neither of them was willing to reveal the price they offered first.

"Landry, since we can't reach an agreement for the time being, I think we should talk about it another day."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly issued an order to evict Landry, and the other party insisted on the price of 7000 million yuan, so it was meaningless to continue the negotiation.

When Richardson on the side heard what Lin Daoqiu said, a smug smile appeared on his face.

It is definitely not good news for Landry to be invited away by Lin Daoqiu at this time.

If Lin Daoqiu is satisfied with Richardson's conditions, they are likely to reach an agreement.

Although Landry is sure that Warner's conditions will definitely not be better than Fox's, but he is talking about the final conditions.

If Lin Daoqiu mistakenly thinks that the 7000 million is the final price offered by Fox, once Warner also offers 7000 million, Lin Daoqiu may be more inclined to the other party.

"Our Fox company attaches great importance to this transaction with Mr. Lin. In order to let Mr. Lin feel our sincerity, we are willing to buy the copyright of your movie at a price of 9000 million."

Landry suddenly raised the price to 9000 million. Lin Daoqiu was only a little surprised, but Richardson next to him was completely shocked.

Because Ashley authorized him with a price of 5000 million, and now Fox has opened it to 9000 million, so he still talks about a P.

After Landry finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Richardson smugly. He was sure that it was absolutely impossible for Warner to pay the price of 9000 million.

At the same time, Lin Daoqiu also turned his head to Richardson. Now that Landry has made the price, it depends on what Richardson said.

"I'm sorry, the price offered by Warner is far inferior to the price offered by Fox. I suggest that Mr. Lin might as well think about it and accept Fox's offer."

Richardson was very confident before coming, but now his confidence has disappeared without a trace.

And not only that, he even offered to let Lin Daoqiu accept Fox's offer, which is really confusing.

"Sorry, there is still a gap between this price and my expected price, and I can't agree."

It seems that Warner has chosen to withdraw from the competition, but Lin Daoqiu never thought at the beginning that Ashley would be willing to pay a large price to buy the copyright of his movie.

"Mr. Lin, now Hollywood is willing to spend so much money to buy your movie, and only us Fox. If you lose this opportunity, I'm afraid you will regret it too late."

It seems that Landry seems to be thinking about Lin Daoqiu, but if he wants to lose the opportunity, it is not only Lin Daoqiu, but also Fox.

"Mr. Lin may regret it, but isn't Fox the same? Don't say it as if Mr. Lin is the only one who suffers."

Now that he has withdrawn from the competition, Richardson naturally did not intend to make Landry feel better.

Moreover, he had a good impression of Lin Daoqiu, so he decided to take this opportunity to help him raise the price, so as to hit Fox Corporation, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"George, since Warner has withdrawn from the competition for this play, I don't think there is any need for you to stay here."

Landry didn't want an irrelevant person present when he was negotiating with Lin Daoqiu.

Moreover, the position of the other party is still opposite to that of Fox. Letting this guy stay here may bring a lot of trouble to the subsequent negotiations.

"I'm staying here as a friend of Mr. Lin, I believe you won't mind."

Richardson has a reason to say this. After all, Lin Daoqiu owes him a favor now, and he also believes that Lin Daoqiu should not want to drive himself out.

And the fact is exactly as Richardson guessed, Lin Daoqiu did not ask him to leave.

"Mr. Landry doesn't need to mind. George will not change my mind. In the end, the success of this transaction depends on the sincerity of Fox."

That being said, there's a huge difference between having this guy on the floor and not having him on the floor.

But now Landry is not good at driving people away, because Lin Daoqiu is determined to let the other party stay, so he is not good at saying anything.

"Mr. Lin, I really came here with sincerity. If you really want to reach this deal, maybe you can propose a reasonable price for my reference."

Landry took a step back, he wanted to hear how much money Lin Daoqiu wanted now.

If the other party still insists on [-] million, then he will definitely not buy this movie, and he will choose to let it go.

"1000 million, if Fox is willing to match this price, I am willing to sell the copyright of this movie to you."

Lin Daoqiu was not greedy either, he added 1000 million more to the other party's bottom line, because he knew that if he offered an outrageous price, he was driving people away in disguise.

Landry nodded after listening. At least this time, Lin Daoqiu's asking price was not far from the transaction price.

"I hope that everyone will take a step back. Fox is willing to spend [-] million to buy the copyright of this movie. This is our final price and it will not change."
