Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 366
Seemingly not quite used to this awkward atmosphere, Bao Shaogang picked up the coffee on the table to cover up his embarrassment.

From childhood to adulthood, everything he does has always been smooth, and the word "difficulty" simply does not exist for him.

But today, in front of Lin Daoqiu, Bao Shaogang suffered for the first time in his life, and only then did he realize that there are still problems in this world that cannot be solved with money.

This is a situation that Bao Shaogang has never encountered since he was born. He doesn't know what to do. Should he leave immediately, or is he thinking of other ways to make Lin Daoqiu nod?

"Actually speaking, I also admire Baoshao. Maybe we can cooperate in other areas. Anyway, the only thing I want to influence you and me is to make money, right?"

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu's lack of money recently, he really wouldn't have taken Bao Shaogang's idea. After all, Lin Daoqiu's favorite thing to do is to eat alone.

As long as conditions permit, he absolutely does not allow others to get his hands on his cake, unless he is willing to share the cake with others, that is another matter.

And Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to change the topic, which relieved some of the embarrassing atmosphere on the scene, and made Bao Shaogang immediately heave a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin is planning to let me invest in movies, right? I don't usually watch movies, but the ones made by Mr. Lin are an exception."

It is not easy for Bao Shaogang to invest in the film industry. Lin Daoqiu is not interested in real estate, but Bao Shaogang is not interested in the film industry.

"Compared to selling a house, making a movie is really unstable, and it doesn't make as much money as selling a house."

After all, a house is just needed for everyone. In addition to representing family, the word home is another interpretation of the house.

A house is considered a home. After all, having a tile to cover one's head is the most basic standard for Chinese people to start a family.

You can stop watching movies, but you can’t live in a house. Compared with these two industries, selling houses is obviously more stable.

As far as Bao Shaogang is concerned, he has seen a lot of Lin Daoqiu's films, but he knows nothing about the film industry, so it is not easy for him to invest money.

"If Mr. Lin wants me to use money to invest, shouldn't he talk about topics that interest me, such as earning hundreds of millions a year."

When investigating Lin Daoqiu's details before, Bao Shaogang knew that Lin Daoqiu made more than 1 million US dollars in Hollywood in one fell swoop last year.

If he used this method to convince himself, it might be possible for him to take out the money.

"Most of that money came from selling copyrights, but that doesn't mean that every year we have such good luck."

Lin Daoqiu never thought about sharing his copyright equally with others. Even if Bao Shaogang agreed to cooperate with him, Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to include the copyright of the script he wrote in this transaction.

And it seems that Bao Shaogang is obviously not very interested in investing in the film project. If Lin Daoqiu was not sitting opposite him, he would have left long ago.

"How much money does Mr. Lin want me to invest? What projects to invest in? What is the annual return on investment? How much money can I get? What if I lose money?"

After asking this series of questions, if you were an unprepared person, you might tell Bao Shaogang that he was not ready this time because he came too hastily, but Lin Daoqiu didn't think so.

"I opened a film special effects studio in Xiangjiang, so I hope that Bao Shao can invest [-] million US dollars. In exchange, you will get [-]% of the studio's shares. In the next three years, you will get less than a dime."

What Lin Daoqiu said made Bao Shaogang almost couldn't help laughing. [-] million US dollars is no problem for him, but investing such a large amount of money, he can't get a dime in three years. , How could anyone invest in this project.

But when Bao Shao was about to speak, Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised his hand to stop him from speaking, but continued.

"In the fourth year, I will buy 20.00% of your shares for [-] million US dollars. This can be written in the contract, and it will come into force when the time comes."

Earning [-] million U.S. dollars in four years is equivalent to about one billion Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that so far, Bao Shaogang has not had a single business that is more profitable than what Lin Daoqiu said.

So when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Bao Shaogang fell silent immediately, because the other party's words made him feel difficult all at once.

To be honest, it is really difficult to choose whether to trust Lin Daoqiu or reject him. At least at this moment, Bao Shaogang doesn't know what he should do is the best way.

"Before I answer Mr. Lin, can you tell me why the money is needed so urgently?"

Bao Shaogang didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu would ask him to invest for no reason, and believed that the other party must have something urgent to use the money, otherwise he would not have offered such generous terms.

One must know that it has been less than a year since Lin Daoqiu came back from Hollywood, and the [-] million US dollars was spent so quickly?Is this special effects studio burning so much money?

"I have several projects in my hand that need to be executed at the same time, so the money spent will naturally be more."

"Godzilla" plus "The Mummy" and the expenses that Dykstra usually burns will cost Lin Daoqiu at least hundreds of millions of dollars, but Lin Daoqiu only has 1000 dollars left in his hands now. million dollars.

And he is going to lead a team to Egypt for location shooting soon, and he doesn't know how much money he will burn during this trip.

If Bao Shaogang is willing to invest, it can be said to have solved Lin Daoqiu's urgent need, but the problem is that [-] million US dollars is not a small amount, and they are only meeting for the first time today.

Speaking of two people who are not familiar with each other at all, it can be said that it is a bit unreasonable to ask for an investment of [-] million US dollars.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. After all, [-] million US dollars is not a small amount. I need to go back and think about it."

Bao Shaogang didn't intend to rush to make a decision. After all, such a large investment can't be decided on a whim. He has to go back and think about it.

"This is what it should be. If Bao Shao thinks it over, please call me."

Lin Daoqiu never thought that he would be able to get the money from Bao Shaogang today. It seems that Bao Shaogang did not refuse in person, which shows that he is still a little moved.

After finishing the topic of the movie, Bao Shaogang suddenly remembered why he was looking for Lin Daoqiu today.

"Let's get down to business, Mr. Lin is here to make an appointment today because he hopes you can expand the pedestrian street. As for the funds, you don't need to worry about it. We will be responsible for it all. After deducting all the payments for the pedestrian street, I will give you seven."

Bao Shaogang did not forget his main purpose of looking for Lin Daoqiu today, and his offer was very generous, [-]% more than before.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head and rejected Bao Shaogang's "good intentions" without even thinking about it.

"Bao Shao still asked others to help me with this matter. I'm not interested in this business, and He Yi won't continue."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know whether Bao Shaogang understood what it meant to expand the pedestrian street. Maybe he knew it, or maybe he didn't know it, but these were not important.

The important thing is that if he agrees to him, Heyi will suffer a huge blow, and he may even be unable to keep the current territory, so Lin Daoqiu will not agree to this matter.
