Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Lin Daoqiu was not happy at all after hanging up the phone from Lin Jianyue.

He didn't want to get involved in the heir fight between the Lin family, after all, it wouldn't do him any good at all.

However, he really despises Lin Jianyue's behavior. Although Lin Daoqiu can also understand that for the sake of the throne of the head of the Lin Group, as long as it is not harmful to the world, it doesn't matter if Lin Jianyue does it, but if he cooperates with such a person, he may not sleep at night. You have to turn a blind eye, because he can sell you in the blink of an eye for profit, and there won't even be the slightest hesitation.

The next day, as expected, Lin Jianming came to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

When Fang Jinsheng brought the other party in, Lin Daoqiu had already stood up. Compared to Lin Jianyue, Lin Daoqiu seemed to respect Lin Jianming more.

But Lin Jianming didn't know this, and he didn't think it was strange when he saw Lin Daoqiu getting up to greet him, because in his opinion, this was the most basic courtesy.

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Lin Jianming. Nice to meet you."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook hands with Lin Jianming, and then asked the other party to sit down.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. I have heard for a long time that Mr. Lin of the Lin Group is a man of outstanding ability. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

"Mr. Lin, have you ever heard of my name?"

"Of course, everyone knows that the Lin Group has a very capable Mr. Lin. I believe there are very few people in Xiangjiang who have not heard of your name."

Lin Jianming didn't believe Lin Daoqiu's words at first glance. He had heard of Lin Boxin's name and it didn't surprise Lin Jianming. But if Lin Daoqiu valued him, Lin Jianming couldn't tell it. I wouldn't believe it. After all, compared with Lin Daoqiu, Lin Jianming, who was already over fifty years old at this time, was far inferior to him in terms of fame and personal assets.

And compared with his younger brother, Lin Jianming could clearly feel that his father wanted to hand over the Lin Group to his younger brother rather than him.

If the cooperation with Lin Daoqiu can be completed this time, it can be said that his chances of inheriting the Lin Group will be greatly increased, so it can be said that he came to see Lin Daoqiu this time with a lot of hope.

But what Lin Jianming probably never expected was that the bottom line of his negotiation had been betrayed yesterday, and now he could say that he had no advantage at all in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Master Lin came to see me today. I wonder why?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Lin is asking questions knowingly. Our Lin family has recently been negotiating with Mr. Lin for a cooperation deal. Today I came here on my father's request. I want to settle the matter with Mr. Lin. I don't know if Mr. Lin is willing to give it to me." This opportunity.”

"Opportunities are earned by oneself, not given by others. If Mr. Lin wants to negotiate things, he must do it with sincerity. If there is no sincerity, we will not achieve anything even if we talk for a whole day. I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks of the progress?"

When Lin Daoqiu said this, Lin Jianming immediately felt that it would be difficult to negotiate this cooperation with Lin Daoqiu today.

"Of course I am here sincerely. Mr. Lin does not need to doubt this. If I came here just to waste my time, then I might as well find a place to have a cup of coffee and rest. After all, it is meaningless. No, Mr. Lin doesn’t need to doubt me.”

Lin Daoqiu just smiled slightly, and he didn't know what his attitude was towards Lin Jianming's words, whether he agreed or disagreed, or whether Lin Jianming deliberately didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu meant. In fact, Lin Daoqiu's meaning is very simple. If the Lin Group is willing to back down and accept the conditions he proposed, it means that Lin Jianming came with sincerity. On the contrary, the other party did not come to talk to him with sincerity at all. In this case There's not much to say.

However, Lin Jianming was not frightened by Lin Daoqiu. Instead, he pretended not to understand what the other party was saying.

"Well, if that's the case, then I want to know how Mr. Lin plans to talk to me?"

"Mr. Lin, this cooperation will be beneficial to both of us. I don't know if Mr. Lin agrees with this."

Lin Daoqiu did not object to Lin Jianming's words. If this cooperation only benefits one party, it is obviously impossible to reach an intention to cooperate, unless the party whose interests are harmed has a brain problem and wants to Otherwise they probably wouldn't agree.

Seeing that Lin Daoqiu agreed with his statement, Lin Jianming continued.

"Mr. Lin, if this is the case, then I think both parties have the obligation and should reach an agreement as soon as possible. After all, doing business requires speed. Only by reaching an agreement as soon as possible can we follow our established arrangements as soon as possible. You should also hope that we can reach an agreement as soon as possible." As for the Asian cinema chain's expansion into several markets in Southeast Asia, our Lam Group is also willing to help you accomplish this."

"If this is the case, then we can finalize the matter now. As long as the Lin Group accepts my conditions, I can sign the contract right now."

Lin Daoqiu directly threw the problem to Lin Jianming. Don't you want to reach an agreement as soon as possible? Then do as I say. As long as you do as I say, I will sign the contract immediately.

But if the matter was really that simple, there would be no need for Lin Jianming to talk about it. Lin Jianyue could have signed a contract with Lin Daoqiu yesterday. Even before, Lin Boxin could have settled the matter when he met Lin Daoqiu for the first time. There was no need at all. It's been delayed until now.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's words, Lin Jianming just smiled in response. Naturally, he could not strongly reject or refute the other party. He could only make the best of the situation and follow Lin Daoqiu's words.

"Negotiations must be concluded first. Since both parties have not reached an agreement, Mr. Lin is eager to sign the contract according to your conditions. Isn't this a bit overbearing?"

"If I guess correctly, Mr. Lin's bottom line today is 18%, right?"

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly revealed Lin Jianming's trump card, which frightened Lin Jianming.

But Lin Jianming soon calmed down. There were only two people who knew his 18% bottom line, Lin Boxin and Lin Jianyue.

It is absolutely impossible and impossible for Lin Boxin to betray himself. If this is the case, there is only one person who betrays his bottom line to Lin Daoqiu, and that is his younger brother Lin Jianyue.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianming was filled with rage. Although he was very angry, he still had to pretend to have no reaction in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, you guessed wrong. I have only one bottom line, and that is 20%."

Now Lin Jianming naturally can't admit that Lin Daoqiu guessed it right. Now he can only bite the bottom line of 20% and not let go. (End of chapter)
