Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 562 The Lively Suburb

Jackie Chan's incident was just a small episode, and it didn't have much impact on Lin Daoqiu.

Although his one-month rest will make Lin Daoqiu pay hundreds of thousands more for this drama, but these are just small money to him.

"Mr. Lin, this is the last month's financial report of Xiangjiang Cinemas, please take a look."

Ever since Golden Harvest and Kowloon Cinemas withdrew from Xiangjiang Cinemas, it can be said that its name is not worthy of its name.

As for Jiahe and Bao Shaogang, the two of them also jointly established a joint theater called Baojia two days ago.

It seems that in the next few days, the opponent of New Oriental Cinemas will be the newly established Baojia Cinemas.

Although it seems that Lin Daoqiu is in a disadvantaged situation now, there is good news for him.

That is, I have the largest number of actors in my hands, and they are also of the best quality.

Needless to say for Golden Harvest, Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen, as the pillars, have always been their signatures.

As for Bao Shaogang's Kowloon Cinemas, after he poached Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, and Wu Yusen, he suddenly stopped and did not continue to make big moves.

On the other hand, on my side, there are fierce generals like clouds, even if it is more than singing, there is also a singer Xu Guanjie on my side.

It's just that he is still a member of Golden Harvest, and his contract with Golden Harvest will expire next year.

But even so, at this moment, the artists in Lin Daoqiu's hands are definitely the best in Xiangjiang.

And in addition, he has absorbed a lot of stars and staff who were originally from the Shaw Brothers, and now he can be said to be a strong soldier.

"Maowen, you will return to New Oriental as the general manager in the future."

Now that Xiangjiang Cinemas no longer exists, Li Maowen's general manager naturally no longer exists, so Lin Daoqiu intends to let him return to New Oriental and continue to be in charge of the cinemas.

Li Maowen had already guessed that Lin Daoqiu would have such an arrangement before, so he nodded without thinking too much.

And some time ago, when Baojia Cinemas was first established, all kinds of gossip spread like crazy, as if Bao Shaogang and Lin Daoqiu were about to have a decisive battle.

But after the establishment of Baojia Cinemas, the film circle suddenly became quiet, because nothing happened, which disappointed many people who wanted to watch the excitement.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that although the situation is still calm at the moment, in fact, there is always an undercurrent surging in places that others cannot see.

…………

"No way, is that place really that lively?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? I heard that many stores over there are holding activities. The chances of winning the lottery are very high. There are free drinks and so on."

At the end of July, a busy pedestrian street suddenly popped up some distance from the urban area.

All kinds of gourmet shops, KTV, bath center, as well as massage parlors and bars, can be said to be everything.

Originally, this place was a remote suburb with almost no shops. Usually, if people here want to entertain themselves, they have to go to the urban area.

But now, because of the presence of these shops, this place, which was originally a bit desolate, suddenly became lively.

At first, the nearby residents thought that these people who came here to open shops were crazy. After all, this place is so far away from the city, it is impossible to make money by opening a shop here.

But for them, there are a lot of benefits for them to have a fool come here to open a shop.

One is that nearby residents can find jobs in the pedestrian street, and the salary they can get is not low.

The second is that with this pedestrian street, they don't need to go to the urban area to spend in the future, and they can have fun right in front of their homes.

Originally, those residents who were going to watch the theater believed that when this pedestrian street opened, there would be absolutely no customers coming to spend.

But what they didn't expect was that this pedestrian street had only been open for less than a week, and it turned into a sea of ​​people at night.

If you don't know, you may think this is the urban area of ​​Xiangjiang, not a remote suburb.

"Mr. Lin, according to your instructions, there are already more than 20 businesses on the pedestrian street. In order to invite them here, I not only waived their shop rent, but also gave them money to let them do activities."

The reason why so many people came here was that Lin Daoqiu spent money to find some of them, while the other was found by himself after hearing word of mouth.

On this pedestrian street, most of the shops have lottery activities. It is said to be a lottery, but the winning rate is not low at all.

Basically, if you draw ten prizes a day, you can win at least eight or nine times.

Free wine and food are considered basic, and many people even get half-price discounts.

No wonder so many people flock here.

But to maintain this situation, Lin Daoqiu had to burn a lot of money every day. Just today, he lost almost 100 million, and this was just the beginning.

In the back, Lin Daoqiu believed that more and more people would come.

"Tell the people below that the things given in the lottery can only be used on the spot, they cannot be taken away, they cannot be accumulated, and they will be invalidated the next day."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to be robbed of his wool by others, after all, what he spent was real money.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, a lot of things like this happened a few days ago. I've already told someone to tell those shopkeepers. I'll have someone tell them what you just said."

Sangbiao has been busy with this pedestrian street for the past two months, and his whole body has lost weight because of this.

But the good thing is that the pedestrian street can be completed as scheduled, and his hard work during this period has not been in vain.

In fact, at the beginning, Sangbiao didn't really think that there would be some guests who came here from the city to play.

But when he saw a flood of people pouring into the pedestrian street, Sangbiao could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then sighed secretly in his heart, Mr. Lin is really amazing.

"Okay, you have to be optimistic during this period. If Bao Shaogang and their people come to investigate, you must deal with them well, and remember to make those shops and their people shut up."

If Bao Shaogang really wanted to buy all the nearby land by then, he would definitely do some research first.

If at that time he finds out that these lottery draws and activities are not initiated by the store itself, but funded by other people, then he will immediately guess that there must be something wrong with it, so naturally he will not buy the land.

"They have already taken the money, and they are very cooperative. I believe these people should be very clear. If they want to continue to make money, they will not come to tear down our platform."

Lin Daoqiu has always been very assured of Sangbiao's ability. After all, he has been with him for such a long time. If he can't even do this little thing well, then he can be said to be very disappointed in Sangbiao.

Walking to the window of the office and looking at the lively scene below, Lin Daoqiu smiled happily.
