Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Hearing what Chen Tonglie said, Du Guiping and Zhang Hong's eyes immediately flashed with light.

They all felt that what Chen Tonglie said was right. Since they had already decided to sell the theater chain, why not sell it at a good price?

"You're right. How about you go talk to Lin Jianming again and ask him to double the price. In that case, how about we sell it?"

When Zhang Hong finished saying this, Chen Tonglie shook his head directly.

"No, we should not take the initiative to contact Lin Jianming now, but wait for him to come to us again. If we come to him and say that we want to sell the theater chain, he will definitely not raise the price. , and may even not give the original 50% price increase, so we have to be patient, but we can’t delay it for too long.”

It seems that Chen Tonglie already has an idea. What is missing now is the handling of the details. As long as they can be handled well, it will definitely not be a problem for them to use Lin Jianming to earn a large pension from him. What a difficult thing, just thinking about it makes me feel excited.

However, what Chen Tonglie and the others never expected was that Lin Jianming was not interested in waiting for them for such a long time. He had decided to put pressure on the other party from other aspects.

On the other side, Hua Fei also learned about what happened last night from Dazhi. He was not surprised at all by the result, because it was arranged by him. Unless Chen Tonglie and the others were crazy, they would not be able to do it in the first place. When he met Lin Jianming for the first time, he was willing to sell the theater chain in their hands to him.

"Boss, do you need me to put in more force to prevent them from meeting Lin Jianming again?"

Hearing Dazhi's suggestion, Hua Fei shook his head.

"Although the headquarters of the Lin Group is in Xiangjiang, he is more or less powerful in Malaysia and has some connections with people above him. If Chen Tonglie and the others don't meet with him, I'm worried that he will find someone from above. Put pressure on Chen Tonglie and the others. Those guys are from Treasure Island and have no foundation here. The people they know are definitely not as good as Lin Jianming and I. If they are frightened by then, they really agree to take the theater If I sell it to the other party, then I won’t even have time to cry.”

Hua Fei didn't want Chen Tonglie and the others to go too far in rejecting Lin Jianming. At least he wanted to leave some hope for the other party and not completely block the road. Otherwise, if Lin Jianming felt that the talks would not lead to any results, he would definitely It is possible that he will find another way, or even ask Lin Daoqiu for help. If that is the case, then he must be the first to buy the theater in their hands.

"Just wait a few more days, it's not time yet."

Hua Fei thought for a while, and if he bought it now, the price would definitely not be too low, and he didn't know how high the price Lin Jianming offered Chen Tonglie and the others last night, even though he had made a huge profit from Lin Daoqiu recently. , but the money I have is not blown by the strong wind. If I can save a little, it is better to save a little more.

At this time, Hua Fei picked up the phone and called Lin Jianming.

"Chairman Lin? I'm Hua Fei from Dahua Pictures. Do you have time? I want to have a cup of tea with you, but you're not free now? Oh, that's okay, let's do it another day."

Originally, Hua Fei thought that if he asked Lin Jianming to meet him, he would definitely agree immediately, but Lin Jianming actually said that he didn't have time now and hoped to make an appointment another day.

Naturally, Hua Fei would not force Lin Jianming on such a matter, so he could only agree to the other party and hang up the phone.

I don't know why, Hua Fei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart at this time. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little panicked. It was really strange.

……

"Minister Greedy, it's been a long time."

Looking at Qian Nuoshan in front of him, Lin Jianming finally made an appointment with him.

When the Lin Group invested in Malaysia before, the relationship between Lu Nuoshan and Lin Boxin was very good, but that was all in the past. In recent years, Lin Boxin rarely came to Malaysia and the relationship between Lu Nuoshan and Lu Nuoshan gradually became dull. Quite often, the general manager of Jinxi's branch is not high enough to contact Qiannuoshan, so Qiannuoshan is not sure about Lin Jianming's current attitude towards the Lin Group.

"Chairman Lin, congratulations on taking over the Lin Group. I was far abroad at the time and couldn't call you to congratulate you immediately. I'm sorry."

Although Qian Nuoshan said this, he looked at Lin Jianming's expression with a blank expression. It was clear at a glance that he didn't seem to have a good impression of Lin Jianming.

After all, the Lin Group has had little contact with him in the past few years and has not been of much help to him. After helping them do things, although they got everything they deserved, they did not continue to maintain the relationship afterwards. It was necessary for Lunuoshan to have a strong relationship with Lin. It is obviously impossible for the group to have any special feelings. After all, the two parties only have a relationship of interest. Once the connection of interests is lost, there will be no difference between them and strangers.

"Minister Greed is really sorry. I have been working in Xiangjiang in the past few years. It was not until recently that I took over the leadership of the Lin Group that I came to Malaysia for inspection. As soon as I arrived in Malaysia, I heard about the previous events. To be honest, our Lin Group Some things we did were very unethical, especially when it came to treating old friends. We must have done something wrong."

When Gu Nuoshan heard what Lin Jianming said, he knew that what he was talking about must be referring to a mistake in treating himself. This made him feel a little bit happy. If Lin Jianming was at this time If Ming was still looking around and talking about other things, and didn't take the things that they didn't take him seriously before, then Qian Nuoshan might not be polite to Lin Jianming anymore.

"By the way, I wonder if Chairman Lin came to see me today for something? If the Lin Group wants to develop in Malaysia, I am willing to continue to help matchmaking, but everything must be done legally and compliantly. , after all, Malaysia is a legal society, and everyone must work, live and study in accordance with the legal system. This is something that no one can avoid, does Chairman Lin understand?"

Lin Jianming knew as soon as he heard this that Gu Nuoshan was asking for benefits from him. Of course Lin Jianming understood this.

"Don't worry, Xiangjiang is also such a place. I came from Xiangjiang. Of course I know this. You don't have to worry. The past things are in the past, but I promise you that the relationship between me and Minister Tan will definitely be better than before. It is solid, and my investment in Malaysia will only be more and not less than before, so please rest assured.”

Qian Nuoshan looked at Lin Jianming, and when the other party finished speaking, he smiled and nodded.

As soon as he saw Gu Nuoshan nodding, Lin Jianming knew that he had convinced the other party.

"Yesterday, I sent some pastries from Xiangjiang specialties to my house. I don't know if they suit your wife's taste. Those pastries are all the rich wives like to eat. They are all specially made by foreign chefs and airlifted from Xiangjiang to Malaysia. , very fresh and delicious, I don’t know if your wife is used to it.”

Upon hearing Lin Jianming's question, the smile on Gu Nuoshan's face became even brighter.

"Chairman Lao Lin is concerned. Madam likes those pastries very much. I also tasted one. It tastes very good. It's a pity that after eating this time, if I want to eat again, I have to go to Xiangjiang."

"Don't worry. With me here, are you worried that you won't have such delicious cakes to eat in the future?"

"Chairman Lin is right, I didn't think everything through, hahaha."

At this time, Qian Nuoshan and Lin Jianming laughed together. Now that everything has been said, Lin Jianming felt that the time had come, and he took the initiative to bring up the matter of acquiring theater chains.

"This time I want to acquire a cinema chain in Malaysia. I have already talked with the other party. I am willing to buy their cinema chain at a price that is 20% higher than the market price. However, it seems difficult to communicate with these bosses from Taiwan. I There is really no other way, so I can only come to Minister Tan for help. After all, I don’t know anyone else here in Malaysia, and the only one I can ask for is you.”

"Acquiring theater chains? When did the Lin Group start the movie business? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Qian Nuoshan found it very strange. At first, he thought that Lin Jianming was planning to buy land to build a shopping mall and hotel, but he did not expect that he came to Malaysia this time to acquire theater chains and make movies. What on earth is going on? What's going on? Is the Malaysian film market more profitable than shopping malls and hotels? Why don't you know this?

“Actually, this is just a small attempt by our Lam Group. We plan to build a comprehensive commercial facility focusing on entertainment and leisure, with hotels, shopping malls, cinemas and other links integrated in it, so that people who travel to Malaysia can find A place to eat, drink and have fun, do you think this is a good plan?”

"And this will also provide more local jobs in Malaysia, which should be of great help to you."

Gu Nuoshan nodded while listening. If Lin Jianming is telling the truth, then what he does will indeed bring a lot of local employment opportunities to Malaysia. Such a thing is indeed a good thing for him, and he can also get money. He wanted to help facilitate this even more.

"I don't know much about this matter. Please give me some time, Chairman Lin. I'll ask someone to find out about it right away. Which theater chain are you talking about?"

"Bora Cinema Line."

……

Qian Nuoshan was very efficient. He just finished talking to Lin Jianming that morning, and the next day he sent someone to meet with Chen Tonglie and the others.

Chen Tonglie and the others couldn't help but pay attention to the fact that people from above came to meet them. It was okay if these people didn't show up at ordinary times, but they would not leave without getting something when they showed up.

But what was strange this time was that after the other party came, he asked them to meet in the office, and also asked all three of them to attend together. This was strange.

"What do you think the purpose of these people is to find the three of us? Want money? If that's the case, can we just come alone? Why do all three of us have to be present?"

"Haven't you noticed that something is wrong? These people are coming here now. I'm worried that they are related to Lin Jianming."

"You mean, Lin Jianming found these people?"

Zhang Hong nodded. He immediately noticed something was wrong and then thought about it.

Du Guiping, who was standing next to him, started to turn pale with fright at Zhang Hong's words. If this was really the case, wouldn't today's meeting be a Hongmen Banquet for them?

"Don't be anxious. I think there is still room for change. They can't force us to sell the theater chain to the other party as soon as they come to see us. They should come to see what we mean. If we have a tough attitude , they will take other measures. If we are willing to sell but can't agree on the price, they will definitely tell Lin Jianming when they return."

"Don't say anything later, just let me do the talking."

Hearing what Chen Tonglie said, Du Guiping and Zhang Hong nodded in agreement. After all, their backbone now became Chen Tonglie, and the two people next to him would agree with whatever he said.

Not long after, Inspector Chagande, who had made an appointment with the three of them, came to the office.

"Hello, you three. I'm Chagande, the inspector of the Economics Section."

"Hello Inspector Chagande."

Chen Tonglie and the other three introduced their names to each other.

Chagande didn't say anything after hearing this, but nodded and asked them to sit down.

Originally, this office belonged to Chen Tonglie, but now it looks like Chagande's own office.

“This time I’m meeting with three of you because I want to understand the operation of Bora Cinemas and your expectations for the future of Bora Cinemas.”

"Operation status? Future expectations? We don't understand what you mean. Aren't you the economic inspector? These things seem a bit irrelevant to the economic inspector."

At this time, Chen Tonglie suddenly stood up and expressed his doubts about Cha Gande.

When Chagande heard that the other party dared to question his question in person, Chagande was very unhappy.

"Mr. Chen, am I the inspector or you are the inspector? I hope you can figure one thing out first. I came to investigate on the orders of the superiors above, not on my own. If you have any bad opinions about me, , or if you have any bad opinions, I welcome you to complain to my boss, I will not object or hinder you, okay?"

Cha Gande's words were no different than farting. He had already said that he was sent by his boss to investigate, but now he asked Chen Tonglie and others to go to his boss to complain about him. Wouldn't this be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Unless Chen Tonglie and the others were out of their minds, they wouldn't be stupid enough to go to Cha Gande's boss to complain against him.

"You misunderstood. We didn't mean that. We just said that we don't understand why you suddenly came to ask these things. Our Baolai Cinema Chain is doing well and we haven't encountered any problems so far. You don't know why you are investigating these things. For what purpose, can you tell us if it’s convenient?”

Zhang Hong quickly stood up to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But at this time, Chagande's anger had already boiled up. He had never been treated like this before, so he was naturally in a bad mood. (End of chapter)
