Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 393
Li Maowen didn't have the ability to foretell. If he hadn't talked about these things with Lin Daoqiu before, he would never be able to guess the reason for He Guanchang's sudden visit this time.

When he was assigned by Lin Daoqiu to meet He Guanchang, Li Maowen suddenly felt excited, because once this matter was completed, he would have the opportunity to become the general manager of United Cinemas.

You must know that Li Maowen never thought that he would be able to sit in this seat one day before, but now this incredible thing seems to be about to happen.

"Mr. He, please sit down. I don't know what's the matter with your visit today?"

Li Maowen looked at He Guanchang pretending to know nothing, but in fact, he was already too excited in his heart.

"Actually, I came today because I have something very important to talk to Mr. Lin about."

It's actually not good to say this in front of Li Maowen, because the other party is also the general manager of New Oriental Cinemas, and his status in the company is second only to Lin Daoqiu.

But the main purpose of He Guanchang's trip was to understand Lin Daoqiu's thoughts, after all, he was the key person in this matter.

It's useless even if I have a good chat with Li Maowen, because he is not the one who finally decides the case, maybe it will be a waste of money if the words are broken in the end.

"Mr. Lin has gone out on business. As for when he will come back, he can't say for sure. Why don't you wait here."

Li Maowen had thought of an excuse a long time ago, if He Guanchang didn't say anything, let him wait here, anyway, when Lin Daoqiu was happy to see him, then Li Maowen didn't know.

He Guanchang knew that Lin Daoqiu must be in the company, but since the other party sent Li Maowen to see him, it meant that Lin Daoqiu didn't want to talk to him.

It was the first time that He Guanchang was ignored by a junior like this, but it was useless for him to complain now, after all, Lin Daoqiu had an absolute advantage, so he didn't need to pay attention to them at all.

Even if he does not cooperate with Golden Harvest, there is no big loss for Lin Daoqiu, and he is still so young, he can wait for a few years, and it is even possible for him to annex Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in the end.

If He Guanchang doesn't want to see that day, then he can only do his best to prevent Jiahe from continuing to decline.

"If that's the case, then I'd like to trouble Manager Li to convey our conversation to Mr. Lin."

…………

"Golden Harvest is willing to let New Oriental take the lead in United Cinemas, but they want a [-]% stake in United Cinemas."

If there were only Jiahe and New Oriental, Zou Wenhuai's request would be easy for Lin Daoqiu to accept, but the problem now is that what Lin Daoqiu wants is not only Jiahe, but also a Shaw Brothers.

If I agree to give Golden Harvest [-]% of the shares now, then I only have [-]% of the shares left in my hand. If I want to include Shaw Brothers in the United Cinemas, is it possible that I have to give [-] to [-]% of the shares to Shaw Brothers?
In the end, although I held [-]% of the shares, it seemed that I had the most shares, but as long as Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers united, wouldn't I be emptied by them?
At this time, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are still thinking about these crooked ideas, they really treat themselves as three-year-old children.

"Go and tell He Guanchang that I am willing to give them [-]% of the shares. Now it depends on how they plan to choose, and this is my final decision."

Golden Harvest will get [-]% and Shaw Brothers will get [-]%. When the two of them add up, they will only have [-]% of the shares.

I have more than [-]% of the shares in my hand, and even if Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers unite, they will have nothing to do with themselves.

"I see, I'm going to tell him."

Li Maowen nodded immediately, yes, if Lin Daoqiu hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have thought that He Guanchang would have such thoughts.

And when Li Maowen told He Guanchang of Lin Daoqiu's final decision, they realized that Lin Daoqiu had seen their careful thinking.

"Two and a half, let's make it two and a half, but you must not shrink back when it comes to arranging films, otherwise Lin Daoqiu will take advantage of it, then I would rather not form this joint theater chain."

Shares are shares, but Zou Wenhuai does not intend to back down on matters such as film arrangement and schedule, because this is related to the future of Golden Harvest, so Zou Wenhuai will absolutely stick to this point.

"You can rest assured about this. I have had a preliminary discussion with Li Maowen before. It seems that they don't intend to press us too hard on the issue of film scheduling, but they have proposed a plan to adjust the release time according to the attendance rate. .”

This plan proposed by Lin Daoqiu, Zou Wenhuai, can be said to be in favor of it with all hands. It is precisely because of this point that he has been tricked by Shaw Brothers in the past six months, so this loophole must be plugged.

After several intense negotiations, Li Maowen and He Guanchang finally finalized all the details.

Although generally speaking, Golden Harvest has suffered a bit, but the problem now is that if they don't cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, then I'm afraid they won't even have the chance to suffer.

…………

"Double Heroes Team Up to Make Another Wave in the Film World"

"This Zou Wenhuai reached an agreement with Lin Daoqiu without notifying us."

Although Fang Yihua said so, in fact, during the period of negotiation between New Oriental and Golden Harvest, she had already known about this matter from other channels.

It's just that she didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to accept such outrageous conditions, which really made her wonder what the other party was thinking.

On the side, Run Run Shaw was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, and he looked very calm. Even if New Oriental and Golden Harvest teamed up this time, the biggest victim would be Shaw Brothers.

"Go and meet Lin Daoqiu, I believe he is waiting for you to come."

Run Run Shaw never thought of supporting himself under the pressure of New Oriental and Golden Harvest, because he knew very well that Shaw Brothers was no longer what it used to be, and he didn't have the capital to fight against them at all.

If Shaw Brothers doesn't want to end up in a dismal end, the only way is to join this United Cinemas.

"Then how many shares should we ask for?"

Although Fang Yihua knew very well that Lin Daoqiu of United Cinemas would definitely take the majority, she felt that Shaw Brothers should get more shares than Golden Harvest no matter what.

"It's not how much we should want, but Lin Daoqiu has already prepared for us. I guess he should have reserved [-]% of the shares for us."

If Lin Daoqiu wasn't a fool, he wouldn't let Jiahe and Shaw's combined shares exceed [-]%, so he would definitely let himself hold more than half of the shares.

Since Golden Harvest has already taken [-]% of the shares, the shares he left to Shaw Brothers should only be [-]%.

Because he would not agree to it if it was too little, but if it was too much, he would not be able to control the absolute right to speak, so the two achievements were Lin Daoqiu's bottom line and the bottom line he could accept.
