Soothing music lingers softly in the quiet space, mixed with the faint aroma of coffee. The drizzle outside the glass window is like silk, and a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere flows slowly in the bottom of people's hearts.

Yang Lin's dark eyes moved from the leaves of a pot of lilies to Zhou Shilong's bloodless white face, and his smile was full of disdain and a hint of sarcasm: "Actually, there is no need for Zhou Gongzi to come." ”

Facing Yang Linchi. With naked contempt and mocking tone, Zhou Shilong's white face gradually turned iron-blue, and his eyes shot out of hatred like fire, but he bit his cheeks tightly and didn't speak.

Because his father was by his side, it was not his turn to call the shots in today's negotiations.

Zhou Yunou's face is not good-looking, no matter whose son is so contemptuous by his side, I am afraid that his face will not look good. But after all, he has walked through the wind and waves, and the city government and Zhou Shilong are naturally not at the same level, but today can be regarded as asking for help. Zhou Yunou smiled on his face and said slowly: "The dog is ignorant, why should Lin Shao be as knowledgeable as him?" Let's get down to business. ”

Yang Lin still smiled brightly, but his tone was very arrogant: "I'm sorry, I feel sick to my stomach when I look at Ling Gongzi, it's disgusting." I can't talk about it with him, either he goes or I go. ”

Zhou Yunou's face sank, and he stared at Yang Lin coldly. He could see that Yang Lin's arrogant intentions were just showing an attitude: If you want to talk, you have to follow my wishes. So he was not angry at Yang Lin's rudeness, but was faintly worried that there might not be a good result today.

Zhou Shilong was furious, and he didn't know if his father sitting next to him gave him courage, or made him feel a dependent, and roared angrily: "Yang Lin! Don't you have to inch in, Lao Tzu doesn't have the same knowledge as you, do you think I'm afraid of you? ”

Yang Lin looked at Zhou Shilong's fire-breathing eyes with amusement, and said lightly: "Don't tell me that you are not afraid, then I will be very disappointed and ashamed, maybe I can't help but try it, try to see if you are afraid." ”

Staring at these bright and frightening eyes, Zhou Shilong only felt a chill down his spine, and said stiffly: "You dare"

"Get out!" Zhou Yunou said in a deep voice.

"What?" Zhou Shilong looked at his father in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"I'm telling you out!" Zhou Yunou stared at his son fiercely and said word for word.

Zhou Shilong trembled with anger, and angrily threw the stool and walked out of the café.

"The dog has a bad temper, and he blames me for being a father's neglect of discipline, and I laughed." Zhou Yunou smiled affectionately.

"I don't have a good temper, but I don't read much books, and when I can't talk about others, I can't help but want to do it, but I can't control it, it's really embarrassing." Yang Lin took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.

Zhou Yunou's pupils shrank slightly, is this a warning to me? His facial expression did not change, and he still said with a smile: "I think Miss Bimei has already conveyed my meaning to Lin Shao, I don't know what Lin Shao wants?" ”

Yang Lin said lightly: "Since I came, I have already expressed my attitude." ”

Zhou Yunou's eyes showed joy, and he laughed: "Lin Shao is really a cheerful person, my uncompetitive son has done something wrong, and I hope you can do a thing or two." No matter what you need my help with in the future, Lin Shao, please speak up, I"

Yang Lin waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Yunou and frowned: "I haven't bid yet, why did your old man start celebrating?" ”

"Uh" Zhou Yunou was stunned, and he didn't care about being called an old man by Yang Lin in his forties, and wondered: "What does Lin Shao mean?" "If you don't agree to the deal, what are you doing here? Playing tricks?

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, it seems that you are in a hurry." Yang Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunou with a smile.

Zhou Yunou's heart sank, and he hurriedly covered it up: "I just thought that Lin Shao, such a cheerful person, should have agreed." I don't know what other conditions Lin Shao has? His tone was slow and his expression was light, and he couldn't show Yang Lin how anxious he was.

But he didn't know that all these links were in Yang Lin's plan, what else are you pretending?

"I have only one condition." Yang Lin stretched out a finger and said lightly: "Four theaters, 30 million, paid off at one time, money and goods are paid." ”

Zhou Yunou's eyes widened, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and said with a smile: "Thirty or thirty million? ”

"That's right." Yang Lin nodded affirmatively. **, dare to ask a buddy for 60 million? Isn't all that foreshadowing in front of you in vain?

"Impossible!" Zhou Yunou was so angry that his face turned red, and he said loudly: "Do you know how much those four theaters are worth?" How much does the land cost? How much does the equipment cost? How much does it cost to renovate? It's just a joke! "This kid is robbing while the fire is burning, but don't be so ruthless in robbery, okay?

Yang Lin shook his head with a smile, and counted his fingers one by one to Zhou Yunou: "I don't know how much the land is worth now, and no one should buy it at all." The equipment is old-fashioned British, long outdated, and I don't even count it. As for the decoration, it's probably been more than ten years, right? And the most critical point," Yang Lin raised his head and looked at Zhou Yunou, with a serious face: "I didn't want to buy it at all." If it's not cheaper, why should I buy it? ”

Zhou Yunou felt that his hands were trembling, and his forehead was bruised. If it weren't for his son outside, he would definitely not say anything to Yang Lin again, and immediately got up and left. Vintage British? ** The latest model projector from two years ago, a full set of original recording equipment, old-fashioned? And the decoration, more than ten years ago? Ten months is good! As for the land, no matter how much the land in Hong Kong falls, the four cinemas are all the most prosperous locations in Hong Kong, and even two are in Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui! Even if Hong Kong is in ruins, as long as there are these land deeds, it will be your best to rebuild it when it will be rebuilt?

But he can only be angry in his heart, but he can't defend himself. Because Yang Lin's last sentence is the point: I don't want to buy it at all! No matter how good your stuff is, but I don't want to buy it, what can you do? The main problem now is: he is begging Yang Lin to buy it!

Zhou Yunou, who has been rolling in the business sea all his life, has never been so passive, all his anger has to be swallowed, and he almost suffocates his internal injuries. But what can be done? Now we must raise funds to pay off my son's gambling debts, otherwise those old boys don't know what to do. His Zhou family is a single inheritance for three generations, and there is only this one bloodline, in case there is a good one, what's the use of staying in Duoqian?

It's a pity that Zhou Yunou didn't know that in Hong Kong, there was also a Pan Disheng carefully hidden in the shadows, planning to take advantage of the inattention of several major theaters to unexpectedly enter the rivers and lakes, smiling proudly. That Pan Gongzi, I didn't know that there was such a person, carrying four theaters crying and shouting and begging Yang Lin to buy it, but Yang Lin was still picky and picky, and he ignored it. The final result was that Zhou Yunou gritted his teeth and vomited blood, and sold four theaters with quite good locations to Yang Lin for 35 million. And Pan Gongzi gritted his teeth and vomited blood and begged Shao Yifu to rent him the four best theaters in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, the rent was 35 million a year, and Shao Yifu was not willing to rent it to him.

The asymmetry of information leads to two very different outcomes.

Of course, for a traverser, if you want to compare the equivalence of information with him, you are simply looking for abuse, and people even know clearly what has not happened, how can you compare?

**********

Tsim Sha Tsui "Wah Shing Cinema".

Yang Lin squinted and stood in the light drizzle, not caring about the rain wetting his clothes and hair. After negotiating the price with the father and son of the Zhou family, he took a taxi to come here, stood on the square in front of the theater, and quietly looked at the not tall building.

But his mood was already as misty as a drizzle.

The cinema system has become the economic backbone of Hong Kong's film industry. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest can produce and sell their own products, and other reading production companies can only be "recruited" by theaters and rely on them to provide funds to shoot movies. If the Golden Princess Cinema wants to obtain a stable source of films, it can only fund Xinyicheng and Yongjia, so that it is qualified to challenge the two major cinema chains of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. In the Spring Festival of 1982, he sold 26 million Hong Kong dollars with a "Best Partner", breaking the highest box office record in Hong Kong, defeating Golden Harvest's "Young Master Dragon" and Shaw Brothers' "Eighteen Martial Arts". Subsequently, "Difficult Brothers", "Night Terror" and "Little Fear" launched by New Arts City also ranked among the top ten grossing films of the same year, and in terms of its box office momentum, it seems to have stood with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest!

At this time, Hong Kong movies are really the Three Kingdoms Struggle.

is not the three major film companies of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest New Art City on the surface, but the three major Chinese film cinema lines of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess. You must know that if there is no theater support and the best release schedule is scheduled, it will be difficult for the best films to sell well. Therefore, in the eyes of Shao Yifu and Zou Weihuai, their real business opponent is not Xinyicheng, but the behind-the-scenes financier who invested in Xinyicheng - "Golden Princess". In order to resist the strong momentum of the Golden Princess, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers planned the "joint screening" model. But this "Lianying" looks powerful, but in fact it is full of crises. Shaw Brothers' works have been produced on the set assembly line for decades, and the standards are uneven, so the result of the two-line joint screening is often a well-made Golden Harvest film.

Shao Yifu broke his wrist and resolutely withdrew from the film industry, so Debao Film Company took the opportunity to enter and get Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

The monopoly situation of the three major cinema chains has not changed.

Now, I am here, looking here, standing here, history has changed, towards a fork in the road that never appeared, and life has ushered in an unknown future.

Yang Lin raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the gloomy sky through the continuous drizzle, his heart was like a fire, and his thoughts were flying.

The god of fate who doesn't know if he exists, I don't know if he is in an invisible place, silently watching him?

Yang Lin smiled slightly. Whether you exist or not, whether you are watching or not, I will keep going, follow my dreams, and be worthy of this new life.

And this is where dreams take off. (To be continued.) )
