Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

"We can't let our brothers work in vain. We still have to pay the tea fee. Today we are here to set the price. What do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to raise money, which made Uncle Cha very happy. Of course, it is not okay to do things in vain. Once or twice is no problem, but if he keeps doing it, even if he is willing, the people below him may not be willing to help with such idle work, so Lin Daoqiu Of course it would be best for Qiu to take the initiative to give him money, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Nodding, Uncle Cha would naturally not object to such a thing.

"Since Mr. Lin has said so, then it is up to you to do what Mr. Lin wants."

Although Uncle Tea said so, if Lin Daoqiu really said a price that Uncle Tea was not satisfied with, it might not be easy to get him to agree. So after thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu decided to test it first. Let’s take a look and see how greedy Uncle Cha is.

"It's definitely not possible for me. After all, I don't know much about Xin'an. Let me look at it this way. A film is calculated based on the amount of investment. How about 1%?"

"1%, not even [-]%?"

Uncle Tea was shocked. He originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would give him at least 1% or [-]%, but what he never expected was that the other party only gave him [-]%. Isn't this a joke?
"You can't calculate it like this. Hundreds of movies are released in Xiangjiang every year, and this 1% is already a lot of money."

Hearing that Uncle Cha originally wanted to get [-]% or [-]% of the movie, Lin Daoqiu felt angry. If it was a movie that made money, it would be fine, but most of the movies in Xiangjiang this year actually didn't make money. They are just a minority. Even if the world is good, this proportion will only increase a little more. It is impossible for everyone to make money while filming.

If according to what Uncle Cha said, he would directly take [-]% of a movie, then more than [-]% of the movies in Hong Kong would probably have a hard time making money. As for the quality of the already uneven movies, this would at least reduce it. One or two levels, if that's the case it would be an absolute disaster for Hong Kong cinema.

But Uncle Cha doesn't know this, and even if he knows, he won't take it seriously. What Xin'an does is to collect money. As for the life of the person being collected money, he will not care about whether it is good or not. , he only thinks about how to receive more money, this is his purpose.

Therefore, Uncle Cha was very unhappy and dissatisfied with the price and explanation offered by Lin Daoqiu. He simply shook his head.

"Mr. Lin, it's not that I don't give you face. I only give you 1% for a movie. Even if I agree, the people below will not agree. This... this is too outrageous. I have never heard of such a thing. I don’t think it’s too much, I’ll give you [-] and a half of the investment in a movie, so things will be much simpler and I can explain it to the people below.”

When Uncle Cha opened his mouth, he said it was [-]%. It seemed that he only gave this price for Lin Daoqiu's sake. If it were someone else, he might have offered more than [-]%.

Regarding Uncle Tea's statement, Lin Daoqiu just smiled slightly. Those who didn't know thought that he seemed to agree with Uncle Tea's statement, or that he did not object to the request made by Uncle Tea, but people who knew or knew Lin Daoqiu You know, when he laughs at this time, he is not really happy, but he is faintly unhappy.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu hasn't planned to fall out with Uncle Cha yet. He can still be used now, and Xin'an has just changed his position. If he attacks him now, Xin'an may be in chaos. Once no one can control the situation, As people watch, Xiangjiang may become even more chaotic by then. This is by no means the result Lin Daoqiu wants to see. "Acha, I hope you can seriously consider my words. I am also considering the issue from your perspective and have no intention of deceiving you. This 1% is already very reasonable. Hundreds of movies are produced in a year. Your income there will definitely not be less, and the tea fee shared with the younger brother will definitely be enough, you don’t need to worry about this."

Uncle Tea also smiled when he heard this. If it was just to share the tea fee with the younger brother, he would not like such a business. What he hoped was that the tea fee shared with the younger brother would only be a small part, and he would pocket the bulk. Otherwise, why would he send people to protect the crew when he had nothing to do?Doesn't he have other serious things to do?
"Mr. Lin, I have already said it, [-]%. This is you. If it were someone else, it would be at least [-]%, and it would definitely not be less. Of course, you think I may be asking for too much, but you can go out and ask. Wait, I heard that some people in the past wanted to take half of it directly, that would be really cruel, I am facing you, I hope you don't misunderstand."

"I see. If that's the case, let's put this matter aside for now. We can talk about it later depending on the situation."

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Lin can call me anytime if he wants to talk. No matter what I have to do, I will rush over as soon as I receive your call."

Uncle Tea smiled. Although the discussion with Lin Daoqiu did not produce any results this time, he also made the other party understand that he was not the kind of person who would let him get whatever he wanted.

It was indeed with the help of Lin Daoqiu that he was able to become the seat of Xin'an in the first place, but now that he has succeeded in taking the position, Lin Daoqiu's importance to him has been greatly reduced. The reason why he gives Lin Daoqiu some face now is Because Uncle Cha was not sure how much energy Lin Daoqiu had, he temporarily made friends with him.

But once it is confirmed that Lin Daoqiu cannot threaten him in the future, Uncle Cha's attitude towards Lin Daoqiu will definitely be completely different from now.

Watching Lin Daoqiu leave, Uncle Tea looked confident.

"Boss, is Mr. Lin too disrespectful to you? 1%, are you sending a beggar away? You're already giving him face even if you don't ask him for [-] percent, and yet he's offering such an outrageous price? Just leave him alone. , just let people go to those crews to collect money, and if they don’t give it, you can do it yourself. If Lin Daoqiu comes and asks, just leave him alone, what can he do to us?"

Regarding Da Xia's proposals, these are actually the same methods they used when doing other businesses before, but they just switched to the movie side.

"Lin Daoqiu is still of some use. He makes so much money from movies every year. I want to cooperate with him in making movies in the future, so I will give him a little favor now, but I will make huge profits from him in the future. Profit, this is my goal, you should learn from it."

"Yes, yes, the boss is smart. These small sums of money are nothing. As long as I can cooperate with Lin Daoqiu in a few movies and be released in Hollywood, I won't have to worry about it in this life."

Uncle Cha nodded while listening, he indeed thought so. (End of chapter)
