Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 524 Let Him Contain You

"Uncle Six, it's okay to say."

Although he didn't know what conditions Sixth Uncle wanted to raise, Lin Daoqiu guessed that it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

"The current value of Shaw Cinemas is only 5000 million yuan. As long as Mr. Lin promises not to buy ATV within ten years, I will sell Shaw Cinemas to you for 5000 million yuan."

Just one promise can save 5000 million yuan in this business, which seems to be a good deal for Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't even think about it, he just shook his head and rejected the condition put forward by Run Run Shaw.

It was 1981 at this time, and the next ten years can be said to be the golden age of the rise of the TV industry. How could Lin Daoqiu give up this golden decade because of 5000 million.

"Sorry Uncle Six, I can't promise you this condition."

Although Uncle Six is ​​not a person who traveled here, he also knows that in the past ten years, due to the popularity of TV sets, the battle between TVB and ATV may become more and more intense.

If Lin Daoqiu ends up in the ATV and becomes the head of ATV, it will definitely not be a good thing for TVB.

"It seems that Mr. Lin is determined to win ATV. If this is the case, then it is even more impossible for me to sell Shaw Cinemas to you."

If Lin Daoqiu bought Shaw Cinemas and then bought ATV, TVB would have no room to fight back.

Even though they still have habitual ratings as a guarantee, in the past few years, Lin Daoqiu's two dramas abruptly closed the gap between the two sides.

Once he is in charge of ATV, as long as he helps ATV to produce a few excellent TV series every year, by then, TVB's advantage may no longer exist, and it may even follow in the footsteps of Shaw Brothers.

Since he was able to foresee such a result, Uncle Liu would never give Lin Daoqiu this chance.

So between Shaw Cinemas and ATV, he can only choose one.

As long as Lin Daoqiu didn't buy ATV in this golden decade, Sixth Uncle would still be confident that he would be able to stabilize ATV.

As for ten years later, I was already in my 80s at that time.

If ATV has not collapsed by then, there is no big difference for TVB with or without Lin Daoqiu's intervention.

"Uncle Six, I'd like to add 5000 million, you see..."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want Shaw Cinemas to fall into Bao Shaogang's hands in the end, so he had no choice but to open his wallet and add another 5000 million to the other party.

But unfortunately, Uncle Liu didn't respond to Lin Daoqiu's price increase at all.

After all, compared with TVB, whether it is 5000 million or [-] million, it seems insignificant.

"Mr. Lin, if you want to buy it, you can agree to my conditions. Otherwise, I can only sell Shaw Cinemas to Bao Shao and let him keep you in check."

Uncle Six was not afraid that Lin Daoqiu would know his intentions, he even said it in front of the other party.

If Lin Daoqiu insists on becoming the master of ATV, what Uncle Six can do is to find a way to restrain him.

Selling Shaw Cinemas to Bao Shaogang is a good way, let the two of them fight for a few years, and buy TVB a little more time.

"Sixth uncle is really good at it."

Lin Daoqiu had no good solution at this time, he knew that Uncle Liu had made up his mind.

Even if he adds up to [-] million, it is impossible for the other party to sell Shaw Cinemas to him.

Unless he is willing to agree to Sixth Uncle's condition that he will not be allowed to be in charge of ATV within ten years.

"Mr. Lin, I'm just thinking about it for myself. I'll give you three days to think about it. If you agree, call me. If I don't receive your call within three days, then I will send Shao The cinema chain will sell it to Baoshao."

Uncle Six was definitely not joking with Lin Daoqiu, since he said so, he wouldn't be making changes.

Lin Daoqiu looked at the other party without saying a word. It was impossible for him to agree to Sixth Uncle's conditions.

Now it seems that I have drifted away from Shaw Cinemas.

…………

"What did you say? Uncle Six and Lin Daoqiu met this afternoon?"

Bao Shaogang didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would go to talk to Uncle Liu so soon, and he didn't know what he said to Uncle Liu at that time.

Did he want to buy Shaw Cinemas, or was he trying to persuade Uncle Liu not to sell the theaters to himself.

"Did you hear what they were talking about?"

Bao Shaogang hurriedly questioned Fan Jiaming.

Fan Jiaming shook his head. He only knew that Sixth Uncle and Lin Daoqiu met, but as for what they talked about, that's not known.

"What a fool, I can't even find out."

Bao Shao was angry when he saw Fan Jiaming, but now he doesn't even have the idea of ​​cursing Fan Jiaming, because what he has to think about now is what he should do.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has met Uncle Liu, and he already knows that he is buying Shaw Cinemas, he will definitely not be chatting with Uncle Liu.

Picking up the phone, he quickly dialed Fang Yihua, all Bao Shaogang could think about was increasing the price.

"Miss Fang, I think the price of 2000 million is not very good, so I decided to add 3000 million, yes... yes... what? Give me an answer in three days? Well then, I'll wait for Miss Fang's call."

After putting down the phone, Bao Shaogang frowned deeply. Although Fang Yihua promised to answer him in three days, Bao Shaogang still felt very uneasy.

If Uncle Liu suddenly made a decision to sell the theater to Lin Daoqiu during this period, then it would be a waste of time for him to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

"Do you want the elders in the family to have a chat with Uncle Liu?"

Fan Jiaming suddenly made a suggestion to Bao Shaogang.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bao Shaogang gave him a hard look.

"Such a small matter has alarmed the elders in the family. Do you think I am as useless as you? If the family members know that I can't even do such a small matter, what will they think?"

Bao Shaogang was almost pissed off by Fan Jiaming, did he think he was as useless as him?Going to an adult for help when encountering a little difficulty will only be looked down upon.

Fan Jiaming was scolded by Bao Shaogang, so he could only show a flattering smile.

"I'm sorry Baoshao, but I didn't think enough about it. I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Bao Shaogang really couldn't figure out why this Fan Jiaming was so useless as a child of a big family. No wonder he couldn't even be the heir in the Fan family.

Lying on the armchair, Bao Shaogang's brain began to run rapidly, and his mind was full of Lin Daoqiu, the guy he hated.

"Lin Daoqiu, I don't believe that with our Bao family's financial resources, we can't beat you, a guy who came from swimming. When I buy Shaw Cinemas, I will let you know that the name of Xiangjiang film tycoon , who is the most suitable person.”

Having said this, Bao Shaogang finally showed a happy smile on his face, and he even began to imagine Lin Daoqiu being stepped on by him, begging for mercy.
