Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 300 Li's Chief Representative
Although she tried her best to appear natural, the knives, forks and spoons placed next to the plate still made Zhong Chuhong look a little nervous.

She never had the opportunity to eat in such a high-end western restaurant before, so Zhong Chuhong had to be cautious when dealing with these unfamiliar things.

Now she looks like she is facing a big enemy, you must know that this is just a meal.

"Don't be nervous, everyone is like this at the beginning, and it will be the same thing when you get used to it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't specifically teach her what to do, but simply told her the purpose of those tableware.

Zhong Chuhong is not an idiot either. Although she is very nervous, eating western food is not a very technical thing. After cutting a few steaks, she has gradually gotten used to it.

"Starting tomorrow, I plan to send you to Lidi's actor training class. At least half a year of training won't make you run away."

This is something that was agreed at the beginning, so Zhong Chuhong will not object, because she knows that Lin Daoqiu is doing it for her own good.

"You don't need to worry about anything. Those students are actually the same as you. They have no acting experience, so everyone is the same."

"I know, I will study hard."

In fact, Zhong Chuhong can act like a baby to Lin Daoqiu, telling him not to arrange these courses for himself, and let her be the heroine directly.

She even doesn't need to act, just stick to Lin Daoqiu's side like this, honestly being a vase.

However, Zhong Chuhong, who is competitive, would never do such a thing. What she wants is to earn money with her own hands, and then let her family live a prosperous life.

As for those messy things, they never existed in her mind from the beginning.

And when Lin Daoqiu was concentrating on chatting with Zhong Chuhong, he didn't notice that on the other side of the restaurant, there were a few ghosts staring at them from time to time.

"You said he was Lin Daoqiu?"

Bob Walker turned his head and glanced at Lin Daoqiu who was talking with Zhong Chuhong.

The chief representative sent by Li's British head office to Xiangjiang to handle business was obviously very interested in Lin Daoqiu.

News that Lin Daoqiu wanted to buy Li's had appeared in the newspapers before, but he didn't expect that the last thing he bought was the Golden Princess Cinemas.

"Walker, the head office has asked you to handle Li's resale. I think you can contact Lin Daoqiu. There have been news in the newspapers that he wants to acquire Li's."

Lin Daoqiu never expected that the group of ghosts sold Li's a few months earlier than he expected.

Because of the failure of the investment in Australia, the British head office began to shrink its business in Asia. Bob Walker came this time to sell Li's to pay off the debt.

But his work was not going well, and the price offered by the Australian consortium was too low, which seemed like he was taking advantage of the fire.

"Hasn't he already bought a movie theater? How do you think he will buy a TV station?"

Bob Walker was very puzzled by his companion's proposal. You must know that the price of Li's TV station is 5000 million, which was set by the headquarters.

But the Australian consortium was only willing to pay 8000 million, which was almost double the price they wanted.

Even if 5000 million can be negotiated in the end, they will lose as much as [-] million in this transaction, which is unacceptable to both the company and him.

But now it is no longer a question of whether they can accept it. Once the debt cannot be repaid in time, the group of Australians will definitely take them to court.

At that time, their assets will be confiscated and then auctioned off. At that time, their losses will not only be 5000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now Bob Walker is having a very headache. The purpose of his visit to Xiangjiang this time is to see if the rich people here are willing to pay 5000 million to buy Li's TV station.

But in the past few days, he visited a few wealthy people. At first they heard the news that Li's was going to be sold, they were very interested, but when it came to the price, almost all of them shook their heads.

After all, the ratings of Li's TV station are still a bit lower than TVB's. It cost 5000 million to buy it, and the follow-up investment will cost at least [-] million.

There are not many rich people who can spend so much money at once. You must know that it is January 1980, and the money now is still very valuable.

"Lin Daoqiu made nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars in Hollywood before. Even if he bought the Golden Princess, he still has enough cash in his hand to buy Li's."

Bob Walker didn't know these things, so when he heard the news, his eyes immediately shot out.

If Li's can be sold for 5000 million, his prestige in the head office will be greatly enhanced, and he can still get 5% of the transaction amount.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier."

After Bob Walker finished speaking, he got up directly, and then walked towards the table of Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong.

Just when Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong were chatting, he suddenly found a middle-aged foreign man walking by his side, and then looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, are you okay?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at the other party and asked suspiciously.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, let me introduce myself. My name is Bob Walker, and I am the chief representative of Li's Voice UK headquarter stationed in Xiangjiang."

After Bob Walker finished introducing himself, Lin Daoqiu's eyes widened slightly.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that Bob Walker's simple self-introduction made Lin Daoqiu guess that he was the representative sent by the British head office to sell Li's.

"Hi Mr. Bob, nice to meet you, my name is Lin Daoqiu."

After listening to Bob Walker's self-introduction, Lin Daoqiu stood up with a smile on his face, and shook hands with him.

"I hope I didn't disturb your meal time with this beautiful lady."

Zhong Chuhong couldn't understand English, so she could only smile there awkwardly.

"I don't know what Mr. Bob wants from me?"

Lin Daoqiu is used to being straight to the point, and he has already guessed the intention of the other party, so there is no need to fight Tai Chi with him.

But Bob Walker obviously doesn't like too direct conversations, so he doesn't intend to directly reveal his intentions.

"It seems that Mr. Lin is not convenient for chatting today, why don't we make an appointment to have afternoon tea together some other day?"

Since Bob Walker wanted to sell Li's to Lin Daoqiu, he couldn't act too anxious. He couldn't make Lin Daoqiu feel that he really wanted to sell Li's.

"Of course no problem. This is my business card. Whenever Mr. Bob has time, just give me a call."

Lin Daoqiu handed his business card to the other party.

Bob Walker took a look at Lin Daoqiu's business card, and then presented his own.

"Then I won't bother you two for dinner, I wish you a pleasant evening."

After Bob Walker finished speaking, he left. It seemed that he just came to exchange business cards with Lin Daoqiu.

After Bob Walker left, Lin Daoqiu sat down and looked at the business card handed over by him.

If Bob Walker had come to him a month ago, Lin Daoqiu would have been very interested in chatting with him.

But now that Lin Daoqiu has bought the Golden Princess Cinemas, his interest in buying Li's has weakened a lot, even though he still has enough funds in his hand to buy Li's.
