Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 523 Uncle Six's Conditions

Originally, Uncle Six was not very interested in the sale of Shaw Cinemas, but now that Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang suddenly made a move together, this made him feel that maybe he could take this opportunity to sell Shaw Cinemas at a high price .

"Ask Lin Daoqiu to meet tomorrow. I want to talk to him."

At the same price, Run Run Shaw would still be more willing to sell Shaw Cinemas to Lin Daoqiu, because the other party is really thinking about the movie.

Although he didn't know that Bao Shaogang was suddenly interested in movies, but after chatting with the other party, Uncle Liu felt that Bao Shaogang's motives were impure.

"I heard that Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang seemed to have a festive relationship before. Could it be that Bao Shaogang suddenly jumped out this time and wanted to buy Shaw Cinemas in order to deal with Lin Daoqiu?"

Fang Yihua had heard some grievances between Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang mentioned before. If you think about these two things together, it is easy to see who Bao Shaogang's acquisition plan is aimed at this time.

"Hey... I'm old. How young people want to fight is their own problem. It has nothing to do with us."

The current Shaw Brothers, like Uncle Six, are both old and old. Otherwise, with Uncle Six's ambition, he would not easily sell his years of hard work to others.

"Actually, it would be better to sell Shaw Brothers, so that we can concentrate on running TVB. This is not necessarily a bad thing."

Fang Yihua didn't want to make sixth uncle too sad, so she could only say something nice.

In recent years, due to the popularity of TV sets, TVB's status in Hong Kong can be said to be steadily improving, and Shaw Brothers Film Company is just the opposite.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Uncle Liu wouldn't have given up the idea of ​​selling Shaw Brothers.

…………

I made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu at the coffee shop of the Peninsula Hotel, and my sixth uncle likes to come here for afternoon tea.

This time they met, only Lin Daoqiu and Shao Runfu were there, and Fang Yathua was not with him.

"When Shaw Brothers was founded, the Qingshuiwan studio was still a barren land. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Thinking about it now, it seems like everything happened yesterday."

Run Run Shaw recalled the scene when he founded Shaw Brothers.

At that time, he was in high spirits, surrounded by powerful assistants like Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Cai Yongchang.

At that time, they could be said to be full of energy, and everyone almost devoted themselves to making movies. At that time, people were full of excitement.

"I'm sorry, I'm getting old, I always like to recall the past, please don't take offense, Mr. Lin."

Uncle Six laughed at himself, how could he talk about this in front of a young man.

"It's my honor to have the opportunity to drink tea with Uncle Six. It's my honor to hear you talk about the past. No one else has this opportunity."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Uncle Six laughed, and suddenly the young man in front of him looked very pleasing to the eye.

At his age, it can be said that it is unimaginable to be able to achieve such a great achievement.

If the Shaw Cinemas were handed over to Lin Daoqiu, it might not be a bad thing for him.

"The Shaw Brothers film company was my blood, but now times have changed, and now is the time to let go."

Speaking of this, Uncle Six couldn't help but shook his head. It made him feel very uncomfortable that years of hard work would be handed over to others like this.

"If I am lucky enough to be able to buy Shaw Cinemas, then I will definitely try my best to do my best."

Lin Daoqiu felt that Uncle Six had already intended to sell Shaw Theaters, as long as the price he offered was similar to Bao Shaogang, I believe the chances should not be small.

"If Shaw Cinemas can flourish under the hands of Mr. Lin, that would be a comfort to me."

Since it was about business, Run Run Shaw naturally wouldn't continue to be emotional.

After adjusting his mentality, the sixth uncle looked at Lin Daoqiu and asked with a smile.

"I don't know how much Mr. Lin plans to spend this time to buy Shaw Cinemas."

Originally, Run Run Shaw was still thinking about whether he could sell Shaw Brothers Film Company to Lin Daoqiu.

But thinking about it carefully, from the perspective of New Oriental's system, Lin Daoqiu should be very resistant to the big studio system that Shaw Brothers had previously pursued.

So it is almost impossible for him to take over the Shaw Brothers film company.

"[-] million, I am willing to pay [-] million to buy Shaw Cinemas."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know how much Bao Shao had just paid, but the [-] million to buy Shaw Cinemas was definitely a huge premium.

Even Bao Shaogang was only 2000 million more than Lin Daoqiu when he bid.

"Does Mr. Lin know how much Bao Shao paid?"

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's price of [-] million yuan, Uncle Liu couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

But judging from what he said, it seems that the price that Bao Shao just offered was more than the [-] million that Lin Daoqiu offered.

"Although I don't know how much Bao paid less, I guess that the price must fluctuate around 5000 million yuan, and it will definitely not exceed [-] million yuan."

The price of Shaw Cinemas, in addition to its own buildings, is that the land is valuable.

But all the theaters plus the land, based on the price at this moment, will definitely not exceed 5000 million.

Lin Daoqiu added another 5000 million on this basis. It can be said that the price he gave is already very sincere.

"Mr. Lin's guess is right. Bao Shao is indeed 2000 million more than you. If this is the case, do you want to consider adding more?"

Uncle Six looked like he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, but in fact he didn't take the tens of millions too seriously, he just wanted to tease Lin Daoqiu.

"Uncle Liu, the price of [-] million is already my bottom line. If it exceeds this figure, I'm afraid I will have to stop."

Uncle Liu didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to say that, but he felt that the other party might just be pretending.

Before coming, Sixth Uncle had already briefly investigated Lin Daoqiu's net worth.

He currently has at least [-] million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and it is impossible to say that he cannot afford the money.

"Mr. Lin, if Bao Shao buys Shaw Cinemas, then Xiangjiang Cinemas will collapse."

Although Uncle Liu didn't know Bao Shaogang very well, since he was willing to spend [-] million to buy Shaw Cinemas to deal with Lin Daoqiu, he was definitely not good at it.

"Sixth Uncle also knows that I have spent so much effort to build Xiangjiang Cinemas just to make everyone earn money. Now that the film world is so good, Sixth Uncle probably won't be such a villain."

Lin Daoqiu was also worried that if the sixth uncle really sold the theater chain to Bao Shaogang, then the Xiangjiang film industry would probably set off another bloodbath.

"Since I have already sold the theater chain, these things have nothing to do with me. Mr. Lin wants to use such a reason to make me sell the theater chain to you. I'm afraid it won't work."

Uncle Six will naturally not be easily grasped by Lin Daoqiu's words.

In fact, it's not that Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to increase the price, what he's worried about is that if he increases the price by himself, Bao Shaogang will definitely increase the price too.

The original 5000 million things may be sold for [-] million or more in the end, which is not the result he wants to see.

"Okay, I don't make it difficult for Mr. Lin, you can also ask me to sell the theater to you, but you have to promise me one thing..."
