After Jiayi Cinema Line acquired Xinbao Cinema Line, the company's equity was adjusted, Lin Youlun accounted for 60% of the shares, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess each accounted for 15%, and Shaw Brothers still maintained the original 10%, but among the five seats on the board of directors, Lin Youlun only accounted for 2, and the other three seats were occupied by Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Shaw Brothers, so as to ensure the right of the three companies to speak in Jiayi Cinema.

This is the agreement between Lin Youlun and Golden Harvest, Golden Princess and Shaw Brothers at the beginning of the establishment of Jiayi Cinema Line, even if it was later acquired by Xinbao Cinema Line and obtained absolute control of the company, Lin Youlun did not have the idea of changing the structure of the board of directors.

Whether it is Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers or Golden Princess, they all have deep interests with Lin Youlun, and these three companies are in a competitive relationship, checking and balancing each other, which is conducive to Lin Youlun's control of the board of directors.

Now that Princess Jin is ready to withdraw, this pattern of checks and balances is about to be broken, and Lin Youlun has to consider whether the addition of new shareholders will affect his control over the board.

On the other hand, Princess Jin sold Jiayi's equity, and at the same price, the original shareholders had the right of first refusal, and Lin Youlun also had to consider whether he wanted to eat this part of the equity.

After participating in the celebration banquet of Mei Yanfang's concert, Lin Youlun sent Zhou Yimin home first, and received a call from Wu Rencheng on the way.

Lin Youlun immediately rushed to the hospital where Lei Juekun was, Wu Rencheng had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he was waiting for the elevator, he hurried to tell Lin Youlun about the current situation.

"This year, Lin Baixin restructured the business of Lai Sun Group, spun off the real estate business under the name of the group, and listed it under the name of 'Lai Sun Development', successfully cashing out a large amount of money from the stock market. Lam Pak Yan is interested in diversifying the Lai Sun Group, having recently acquired a 73 percent stake in the veteran clothing company Crocodile Shirt Company for a huge sum of HK$1.3 billion, and has also wholly acquired a company that operates hotel management in Hong Kong and overseas. According to what I pointed out, under the promotion of Lin Baixin's son Lin Jianyue, the next expansion area of Lai Sun Group has been determined to be the film and television industry, and Mr. Lei's Jiayi shares and Xinyicheng shares are on the list of Lai Sun Group's acquisitions. ”

Ding-dong. The elevator door opened, and a group of people walked out of the elevator, and one of the middle-aged men immediately aroused Lin Youlun's idea.

This person's appearance is somewhat similar to Lei Juekun, and Lin Youlun's first reaction is that he is the eldest son of Lei in Wu Rencheng's mouth. Sure enough, Wu Rencheng was slightly stunned after seeing the other party. Immediately go up and say hello to each other.

Lei Qidong just responded to Wu Rencheng lightly. His eyes fell directly on Lin Youlun's body.

"This is Mr. Lin?" Lei Qidong crossed over Wu Rencheng and walked over to shake hands with Lin Youlun, "I often hear my father mention Mr. Lin, I don't want to be lucky enough to see him today!" ”

Lin Youlun smiled faintly, "Mr. Lei is polite, I just heard that Mr. Lei was sick and admitted to the hospital, so I came to visit." ”

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment, I will send two friends out of the city, and I will personally accompany Mr. Lin up later." Lei Qidong behaved so politely. Lin Youlun is not easy to refuse.

After Lei Qidong accompanied a few people who got out of the elevator with him, Wu Rencheng quietly leaned over.

"Mr. Lin, among those people just now, the slightly fatter one is Lin Baixin's son Lin Jianyue."

Lin Youlun's attention was all focused on Lei Qidong, and he didn't pay much attention to the few people around Lei Qidong, but he didn't expect to pass by the "main master" like this.

——

When he stood at the door of the hospital and said goodbye to Lei Qidong. Lin Jianyue glanced at the elevator with concern.

"Do you think Lin Youlun will already recognize me?"

"Wu Rencheng is the person next to my father, and now that he is so close to Lin Youlun, he will definitely tell Lin Youlun your identity." A deep dark cloud flashed in Lei Qidong's eyes, and Lin Youlun's sudden appearance also caught him off guard.

Lin Jianyue's face sank, "Do you suspect that this Wu Rencheng leaked the news of your father's hospitalization to Lin Youlun?" ”

Lei Qidong shook his head, "He hasn't been so bold yet." My dad must have told him to do that. ”

"Your father and Lin Youlun are meeting at this time, will our plans be affected?"

"There's nothing to worry about, although they have the right of first refusal, as long as Lai Sun can offer a higher price than them. They couldn't find any reason to stop them. ”

Lei Qidong seemed confident, but Lin Jianyue was not so optimistic.

Since the acquisition of Xinbao Cinema Line, the Hong Kong film industry has been run like an iron bucket by Lin Youlun, and under normal circumstances, there is no room for outsiders to intervene at all.

In order to get this "admission ticket", Lai Sun Group is ready to pay a lot of money, and in the case that few people know that the Lei family is ready to transfer Jiayi shares, the only variable is Lin Youlun.

It stands to reason that Lin Youlun has already mastered the absolute controlling stake in Jiayi Company, and he should not deliberately prevent Lixin from replacing Princess Jin as the new shareholder of Jiayi, but things are not absolute. Lei Juekun made an appointment with Lin Youlun immediately after his condition improved, which made Lin Jianyue feel faintly uneasy, and he always felt that things would have some twists and turns.

Lei Qidong couldn't let Lin Youlun wait there for a long time, so he hurriedly chatted with Lin Jianyue and returned to the hall.

When he went upstairs, Lei Qidong was by his side, and Wu Rencheng couldn't say more things to Lin Youlun, but Lin Youlun asked Lei Qidong about Lei Juekun's condition.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Lin, my father fell ill suddenly this time, and the doctor did his best, but he could only stabilize his condition temporarily, and I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to work in the company in the future."

Of course, Lin Youlun could hear the subtext in Lei Qidong's words, and he didn't beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "I don't know what Lei Gongzi's plans are in the future?" ”

"The Lei family has a lot of properties under its name, and I can't take care of them all like my father did before, so I'm going to spin off one of the properties and sell it as a whole." Lei Qidong did not specify which part of the industry, but it is clear that the shares of Jiayi and Xinyicheng must be included.

While talking, the three of them had already come to the door of Lei Qidong's ward, and Lei Qidong went in first, and then invited Lin Youlun in.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Lei Qidong's whole person has lost weight, his cheeks have sunken into two pools, his nose is like a vertical piece of wood, his forehead is shining with a dull and pale light, his voice is very low, hissing, and his throat is like a messy web.

"Lin Sheng, Xie Lu, thank you for coming to see me."

"Mr. Lei doesn't need to be polite, I should come here for both public and private reasons."

"Ah Cheng should have told Mr. Lin everything?"

Lin Youlun nodded.

Lei Juekun lay on the hospital bed and sighed softly, "Princess Jin and Xinyicheng were both made in my hands, after so many years, I am really reluctant to let go now." ”

"So Mr. Lei has already decided?"

"Qidong and a few of them are not interested in movies, they still have to sell them in the early years and later years, I invite Lin Sheng to come over, I also want to discuss with you, I have this part of Jiayi's shares, if Lin Sheng is interested, I can transfer all of them to you at a slightly lower price than Lixin, if Lin Sheng is not interested, then the last buyer is likely to be Lixin."

This seemed to exhaust Lei Juekun's strength, and he suddenly coughed violently, and his lungs made a hula sound like pulling bellows. When his breathing finally stabilized, Lin Youlun said: "Lixin can only hold 10% of the shares in Jiayi at most, which is my bottom limit, and the remaining 5% of the shares in Mr. Lei's hand, I can buy all the shares according to Lixin's price." ”

Lin Youlun actually agreed to let Lixin take a stake, which greatly surprised Lei Juekun, but what Lin Youlun said next immediately answered the doubts in Lei Juekun's heart.

"Prior to Mr. Lui's sale of shares in the company, I would like to convene a board meeting to expand the board's original five seats to eleven."

Lin Youlun has decided to adjust the structure of the board of directors, with his current shares, he can get at least 6 seats, and when he buys 5% of the shares in Lei Juekun's hands, it can be expanded to 7 seats, and the remaining 4 seats, 2 for Golden Harvest, 1 each for Shaw Brothers and Lixin, so as to ensure that the entire board of directors is under Lin Youlun's absolute control.

In this way, even if Lixin joins in, it will not have much impact on Lin Youlun's control of the entire overall situation, of course, the downside is that the pattern of mutual checks and balances between Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Shaw Brothers is broken, and Lixin's addition may give birth to some variables in the future.

Of course, Lin Youlun can directly kick Lixin out of the game, buy the shares in Lei Juekun's hands, and completely erase this variable, but recently he has to concentrate his funds to do another thing, and buying 5% of the shares is already the limit.

Lin Youlun did not mention the new art city from beginning to end, which made Lei Juekun a little disappointed, and the result he most hoped to see was that Lin Youlun could take over the shares of the new art city at the same time.

"I made a promise when the three major cinema chains merged that I would not directly invest in the film company, and now if I take a stake in New Arts City, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers will definitely not agree."

Lin Youlun has already controlled the cinema chain in Hong Kong, and if he reinvests in film companies, it will inevitably break the existing pattern of interests, not to mention that doing so will cause a backlash from other film companies, and Lin Youlun himself is unwilling to break this pattern of relatively balanced interests.

The practice of eating alone is too hateful, and at the same time, it is not conducive to winning people's hearts, and I have the impression that Xinyicheng will not be able to support it in two years, and this pit is still left for others to jump!
