Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 534 Redistribution
"Young Master Bao is really generous. You get [-]% of the share, and you have to dig up New Oriental. If you don't know, you may think that he and I have revenge for killing my father."

He Guanchang came to find Lin Daoqiu not long after meeting Baoshao, and told everything the other party said in detail.

Of course, he did this not because of his good friendship with Lin Daoqiu, but because he thought that if Bao Shao had just quit, the shares of Xiangjiang Cinemas would be redistributed at that time.

Although He Guanchang didn't think about asking Lin Daoqiu to give up [-]% of the box office share, at least half of each person is certain. It is even possible that Lin Daoqiu may give them an extra [-]% share in order to keep Jiahe.

Rather than saying that he came to inform Lin Daoqiu, in fact He Guanchang wanted to get some benefits from him.

Let him know that Bao Shaogang is now vigorously wooing Jiahe. If Lin Daoqiu does not make any moves, it is unknown whether they will continue to stay and cooperate with him.

"Mr. Lin, Bao Shaogang's intentions are already very clear. Kowloon Cinemas will definitely withdraw. If that's the case, I don't know what your plan is."

What He Guanchang wanted to know was what Lin Daoqiu was thinking now.

Leaning on the chair, Lin Daoqiu was not surprised by Bao Shaogang's actions, he even thought it was normal.

No matter whether he wants to withdraw from Xiangjiang Cinemas, or wants to win Golden Harvest to form a joint cinema, his purpose is to suppress himself.

"The benefits of establishing a theater chain, I believe the two of you have already seen it clearly, so I certainly hope that Xiangjiang Cinemas can continue."

He Guanchang nodded as he listened to what Lin Daoqiu said. Zou Wenhuai and he both thought the same way. They knew very well that staying was the best choice.

If everyone fights separately, the box office performance of Xiangjiang Movies will probably be cut in half. This is definitely an undesirable result for either party.

"If Bao Shao decides to withdraw, Xiangjiang Cinemas will redistribute the shares, and everyone will work together in the future."

In fact, before coming here today, apart from talking about this matter, He Guanchang also wanted to get more benefits from Lin Daoqiu.

In addition to the box office share and shares in the new theaters, Golden Harvest also wanted to get more things from Lin Daoqiu, such as actors and the like.

"Mr. Lin is right, and we think so too. In order to cope with this crisis, Golden Harvest plans to sign some Shaw Brothers star actors. I hope that Mr. Lin can help us a lot in this matter."

If there is no Bao Shaogang factor, most of the star actors of the Shaw Brothers would think of New Oriental instead of Jiahe first, even Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang think so.

After the news of the disbandment of the Shaw Brothers came out, they actually contacted people like Ti Lung, David Jiang, and Fu Sheng, but unfortunately, they all said that they would think about it, and then there was no further information.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang knew very well that although they said they wanted to consider it, they were actually waiting for New Oriental to send them an invitation.

Unless New Oriental doesn't want them, then they will consider joining Golden Harvest.

But the current situation is completely different from before. If Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to have conflicts with Jiahe, he has to give up the stars of David Jiang and Ti Lung.

Although He Guanchang didn't say it clearly, he believed that Lin Daoqiu had heard what he said.

Sure enough, after hearing what He Guanchang said, Lin Daoqiu suddenly frowned slightly.

Lin Daoqiu had already regarded actors like Ti Lung and David Jiang as his favorites, but now that He Guanchang suddenly asked him to stop, Lin Daoqiu would definitely feel very unhappy.

But if he doesn't let go, then Golden Harvest will definitely complain, and may even withdraw from Xiangjiang Cinemas because of this, even if He Guanchang didn't say it clearly.

"The star actors of Shaw Brothers are indeed very good. I admire many of them, such as Fu Sheng, who has already signed to New Oriental."

Although the contract hadn't been signed yet, Fu Sheng had already verbally agreed to it, so this was already certain.

And when He Guanchang heard that Fu Sheng had signed with New Oriental, his expression suddenly changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Fu Sheng is indeed a very good actor. Mr. Zou also valued him very much, but since he has signed to New Oriental, that's fine. But Ti Lung, David Jiang and others, please be merciful to Mr. Lin."

If possible, Lin Daoqiu really wanted to sign Ti Lung and the others, but now that He Guanchang has said so, no matter how much he wants to sign, I'm afraid he can only reluctantly give up.

"If I can help Golden Harvest, of course I won't be stingy. Since we have already talked about this, why don't we talk about the distribution of shares in theaters after Baoshao withdraws."

Lin Daoqiu can't say whether he has suffered a loss or made a profit by exchanging Ti Lung and others for his absolute control in Hong Kong Cinemas, but so far, he can only use this method to maintain his absolute control.

Before coming to see Lin Daoqiu, Zou Wenhuai had already talked with He Guanchang carefully.

They all knew that Lin Daoqiu would never give up the control of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and they did not have such a big ambition to replace Lin Daoqiu's seat in Xiangjiang Cinemas.

"Since the beginning of Xiangjiang Cinemas, you have been managing it very well, so we have already figured out that if Bao Shaogang quits, we will inherit his shares. At that time, Golden Harvest will have 45% and Mr. Lin will have 55%. "

For this distribution proposal, Lin Daoqiu thinks it is acceptable. Anyway, he still holds more than half of the shares, and controls the absolute right to speak of Xiangjiang Cinemas, which has not changed much from before.

"As for the box office share of the theaters, the previous share will still be maintained, half for each person. What does Mr. Lin think of this proposal?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that they didn't use their brains in the division of theaters.

But in fact, the number of theaters in Golden Harvest Cinemas is even smaller than that of New Oriental, so even if they split half of the box office share with Lin Daoqiu, they still took advantage of him.

In this special period, Lin Daoqiu is not willing to care too much about it. His current enemy is Bao Shaogang.

As for Jiahe, it would be great if they didn't go to help Bao Shaogang, and Lin Daoqiu didn't expect them to help him.

So Lin Daoqiu nodded and agreed to He Guanchang's proposal after thinking for a few minutes.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I believe Xiangjiang Cinemas will definitely get through this time."

He Guanchang seemed to be smiling very happily, because they hadn't taken advantage of Lin Daoqiu for a long time.
