Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978
Chapter 489
Chapter 489
I'm afraid no one would have imagined that in Yong'an's territory, someone would dare to embarrass the two brothers A Qian and A Sheng in public.
Even if the quality of the movies they made is poor, I believe that most people would not dare to say that in front of everyone at this time.
But Lin Daoqiu did just that, and his words were very straightforward, as if he was worried that others would not understand.
The expression on Ah Qian's face was so gloomy that Lin Daoqiu's words almost dripped water. The other party was clearly embarrassing his two brothers.
"Mr. Lin, I admit that your movies are very good, but what do you mean by these words?"
If Lin Daoqiu didn't give them a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid Ah Qian would never let it go easily.
"Mr. Xiang, please don't get excited. My words don't mean anything else. In fact, what I mean is very simple. Since the two of you have had the idea of doing a good job, I can cooperate with you in the film industry."
"How to cooperate?"
Ah Qian frowned, Lin Daoqiu's current words were not enough to satisfy him.
Moreover, compared with the [-]% shares of Xiangjiang Cinemas and New Oriental, if the cooperation project proposed with Lin Daoqiu does not get enough benefits, then they will definitely not consider it.
Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to speak, but looked to his left and right first.
When Ah Sheng and Ah Qian saw Lin Daoqiu's expression, they immediately understood.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ah Qian waved his hand, making the surrounding subordinates retreat first.
After Yong'an's little brothers left, Lin Daoqiu picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of wine, it seemed that he wanted to moisten his throat before he started talking.
"Since the establishment of ICAC, the business on the road has become more and more difficult. In addition, under the vigorous attack of Lu Dingtang and others in the past few years, I believe that the business in Yong'an's hands is no longer as profitable as before."
Lin Daoqiu's words touched the two brothers A Qian and A Sheng deeply.
In the past, Yong'an was like a white glove of the police force, and part of the money he earned was distributed to the police force, but even then, they still made a lot of money.
However, after the establishment of ICAC, the previous methods of making money could no longer continue, which caused Yongan's income to start to decrease greatly.
Especially in recent years, the Hong Kong government has been cracking down harder and harder, and doing business on the road has become more and more difficult, so Ah Qian and Ah Sheng are both planning to switch careers to do some serious business.
"Mr. Lin is right, so I don't know what you can do?"
From the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words, it seems that he intends to point out a way of making money for the two brothers.
If you want to say that the most shining new star in Xiangjiang has risen in recent years, it is definitely Lin Daoqiu.
But in just three years, Lin Daoqiu has already earned billions of dollars, and has become the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and one of the most powerful people in the Xiangjiang film industry.
If they can cooperate with him, it will undoubtedly be a very good choice for the two brothers.
"The momentum of Xiangjiang movies has been rising. This year, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" is close to 4000 million. I believe it is only a matter of time before the box office breaks through 4000 million. Are you two not interested in coming in to test the water?"
Regarding Lin Daoqiu's invitation, in fact, the two brothers had already thought about this.
In 1978, brothers Ah Qian and Ah Sheng jointly founded a film company called Yongsheng Films.
Just looking at the name of the company, you can tell that the idea of the two brothers is very simple, that is, to always win.
Therefore, the company's first film "Zama" hired Ni Kuanglai as the screenwriter, Ah Qian himself as the starring role, and Ah Qian's wife Ding Pei as the producer.
This "Zama" won a box office of 120 million at the time, and the results were not bad.
But in the same year, they also filmed a film called "Liangshan Weird Tricks", starring Ah Qian, but the box office of that film was only about 30 at the time.
Because it was the first time to open a film company, the two brothers didn't know how to manage it at all. As a result, they lost a lot of money as soon as the two films were filmed. In the end, the Yongsheng Film Company ended hastily like this.
Now that Lin Daoqiu suddenly invited them to enter the arena, the two brothers immediately fell into deep thought.
"Our two brothers are indeed interested in doing legitimate business. If Mr. Lin is willing to sell us the shares of New Oriental and Xiangjiang Cinemas, wouldn't that be better? Then we can make money together."
Ah Qian's thinking is very simple, the risk of starting a film company is too great, and they don't know how to manage a film company at all, even if they start, they will only lose money.
"Mr. Xiang thinks, if Xiangjiang Cinemas is bought by people on the road, what will Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers think? Will Xiangjiang Cinemas still exist by then?"
If Yong'an is really allowed to become a shareholder of New Oriental and Xiangjiang Cinemas, then Zou Wenhuai and Sixth Uncle will definitely not agree.
If he insists on doing it himself, Xiangjiang Cinemas will definitely fall apart, and I am afraid that when the three cinemas are independent again, this is not what Lin Daoqiu wants to see.
He spent so much effort to integrate Xiangjiang Cinemas so that everyone would not fight among themselves, so how could he allow others to destroy it?
"Speaking of which, Mr. Lin just doesn't want us to invest in shares. If this is the case, then I will come up with a compromise. Mr. Lin will pay 5000 million Hong Kong dollars and pay [-] million to Yong'an every year. From now on, Yong'an will protect all your properties. .”
Ah Qian didn't bother to talk so much with Lin Daoqiu, since the other party didn't want the two brothers to buy shares, he had to cut some blood.
I believe that with Lin Daoqiu's financial resources, it is absolutely no problem for him to spend 5000 million yuan to eliminate disasters. Moreover, Yongan can still get [-] million yuan from Lin Daoqiu every year in the future, which is simply great.
"I won't give this money, so I also ask you two to give up this idea."
Lin Daoqiu rejected the other party's request without thinking.
Lin Daoqiu's words made Ah Qian's brows furrow deeper and deeper, and it seemed that he could hardly bear the anger in his heart.
"It doesn't work that way, doesn't Mr. Lin think that our two brothers invited you here to drink and chat?"
After Ah Qian finished speaking, he slapped the table directly, and then the boys outside all rushed into the box.
But when they just stood firm, Ah Sheng waved his hand, and those people immediately retreated.
The situation at the scene was on the verge of breaking out. If Lin Daoqiu couldn't give Ah Qian a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for him to leave here safely today.
"I have already said that if you two want to do legitimate business, I welcome it, and I will try to help you, but if you two want to get money from me today, I advise you to cancel this. Think about it."
"Mr. Lin, what if our two brothers must do this?"
Ah Qian gritted his teeth and asked.
"If you two insist on doing this, then I can only slap and stare, and have fun with you."
