The formal contract needs to be finalized slowly, and the two parties first sign an agreement of intent.

After the swap agreement, Shao Yifu suddenly proposed to talk to Lin Xi alone.

Pan Disheng proposed to wait for Lin Xi in the car very interestingly, but Fang Yihua seemed a little reluctant when she left, she wanted to stay, but she couldn't resist Shao Yifu's stern gaze, so she had to go downstairs with Pan Disheng.

Everyone else left, and only Lin Xi and Shao Yifu were left on the second floor of the entire tea room.

"Lin Sheng, now it's just you and me here, can we talk about some things openly and honestly?"

Shao Yifu looked at Lin Xi, his eyes were deep and meaningful.

"I wonder what Uncle Sixth wants to talk to me about?"

"You've been working with ATV for two years, and I don't believe you have left any behind." Shao Yifu went straight to the point, and as soon as he came up, he asked the question that Lin Xi didn't want to answer.

Since he can't dodge, Lin Xi only has a showdown.

"Uncle Sixth is right, before this, I sold the exclusive broadcast rights of "The Voice of Asia" for the next five years, as well as the TV adaptation rights of five martial arts novels, to ATV."

After Shao Yifu heard this, he didn't laugh angrily.

"Lin Sheng is really a good means!"

Lin Xi was a little surprised by Shao Yifu's reaction, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

7∟ "Just now Lin Sheng said that he can help ATV defeat wireless in five years, I now completely believe it, if we don't negotiate this time, you should still have a lot of means to come out, right?" ”

"Uncle Sixth praised it!"

Lin Xi replied ambiguously, but in fact, he acquiesced.

Shao Yifu then changed the topic.

"So what are your plans after buying Shaw Brothers Cinemas?"

"This ......" Lin Xi looked embarrassed.

"You're going to feel. I sold you the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, just to let you fight to the death with Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, right? And you don't want to do that. So I'm guessing you'll go to Golden Harvest and Princess Jin to negotiate an alliance with one of them. Or three to a big league, am I right? ”

Shao Yifu looked at Lin Xi like this until Lin Xi began to sweat on his forehead.

"If you don't say it, I'll take it as if you admit it, of course you can rest assured, even if you do this, I will still abide by the agreement and sell Shaw Brothers to you, do you want to know the reason?"

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, and then spit out a word heavily: "Think!" ”

"The reason is simple. I don't think you can convince Golden Harvest and Princess Jin to join forces. Although your idea is good, the Hong Kong film market is like a big pie, in the process of competing for this cake among the three theater chains, there will always be a part of the cake that will be broken and fall to the ground, and then no one can eat it, which invisibly causes a waste, and when they join together, everyone calmly divides this cake, and the cake will not be wasted. It's good for everyone. ”

What Shao Yifu said was exactly the reason that Lin Xi was going to use to persuade Jiahe and Princess Jin later, so the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Uncle Six. If you all understand this, why couldn't you have joined forces before? ”

"Because the human heart is the most difficult thing to satisfy, that is, brothers do business together. Everyone will turn against each other because of interests, let alone competitors? And the bread was laid there. Everyone wants to take an extra bite, so how can everyone unite in such a situation? ”

Shao Yifu's words made Lin Xiru fall into an ice cave. Before, he really thought about the problem too simply, thinking that he was making a joint venture with Princess Jin to make a movie, thinking that he had a good relationship with Golden Harvest, so that he could integrate the three theaters together, but he didn't think about how the benefits of the three theaters would be distributed after they were united, and who was more and who was less was probably not suitable.

"Chinese people all over the world do business, I have only seen a single hero, never seen everyone united to become bigger and stronger, Lin Sheng, your mistake is that you lack enough understanding of the Chinese business circle, your set of ideas in Europe and the United States can be successful, because the business culture there is very focused on cooperation, and the whole society is very particular about the spirit of contract, but in Hong Kong it is doomed to failure, you want to unify the Hong Kong cinema line, it is absolutely impossible to take the road of unity, only wait until you are a big family, Use absolute strength to suppress the other two theaters and can't sustain them, and your goal can be achieved! ”

Shao Yifu's words made Lin Xi suddenly feel a huge sense of powerlessness.

"Sixth uncle, you said so much, or do you want to force me to fight to the death with Jiahe and Princess Jin?"

Lin Xi retorted unwillingly, but Shao Yifu laughed.

"Lin Sheng, you are wrong to say this, it's not that I forced you to do this, but the other two theater chains will force you to do it with practical actions, you think you can avoid the trap I set for you, but in fact, from the moment you took over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, you have no choice!"

After Shao Yifu said this, he left, leaving Lin Xi alone in his seat.

——

The news of Lin Xi and Pan Disheng's acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas quickly spread, and before the two parties officially signed the contract, He Guanchang officially came to the door on behalf of Golden Harvest.

"Lin Sheng, you are playing with fire!"

In the office, He Guanchang persuaded bitterly.

"Mr. He, I don't understand, before Jiahe and the Shaw Brothers had such a big feud, you can all join forces to deal with Princess Jin together, why did you immediately turn your face as soon as I bought the Shaw Brothers?"

After that deep conversation with Shao Yifu, Lin Xi didn't have much hope for the theater union, but he didn't expect Golden Harvest's reaction to be so drastic.

"The reason is very simple, because at that time, Princess Jin was the common enemy of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, originally there were only two cinema lines in Hong Kong, and Princess Jin snatched the interests of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers when it was established, so the two families can be united, and now the situation is the same, you take over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which is equivalent to grabbing food from the other two cinema chains, do you think we will agree? Lin Sheng, I really appreciate you, that's why I tell you this, not owning a cinema is the bottom limit of Golden Harvest, once you cross this line, then we won't even have to be friends in the future! ”

He Guanchang's words completely disappointed Lin Xi.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Xi to give up the theater now, so the conversation between the two sides ended unhappily.

As soon as He Guanchang walked on the front foot, Mecca stepped into the door of the Oriental Film and Television Company on the back foot.

As soon as Mecca entered the door and sat down, her voice was raised.

"Mr. Lin, although I am here to fight with you today, but before that, I Lao Mai still has to say, there are not many people I admire in my life, you are one, no matter what, you have done what we people want to do but have not done, based on this alone, I Lao Mai obeys you!"

Mecca gave Lin Xi a thumbs up, but Lin Xi was not happy at all.

Mecca explained his intention in the first sentence of his mouth, and he also came to have a showdown with Lin Xi today.

"Thanks to Mr. Mai, please say it if you have something to say!"

Lin Xi sat back on the executive chair behind the desk and said expressionlessly.

"Hey!" Mecca sighed and took the initiative to reveal her heart: "Actually, I don't want to come on this trip today, but Mr. Lin, you also know that the new art city can have today, and immediately open the support of Boss Lei, Boss Lei has the grace of knowing me, if I have to choose between you and him, I can only be sorry for you." ”

Lin Xi couldn't help frowning.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Mak?"

"Mr. Lin, I'll just ask you one thing here, is it possible for you to give up on the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas?"

Lin Xi replied categorically: "No way! ”

Mecca slapped his thigh and praised loudly: "My old Mai really didn't see the wrong person, Mr. Lin, you are better than our group, and you will definitely be a person who will achieve great things in the future!" With someone like you as an opponent, my old wheat is not in vain! ”

When Lin Xi heard these words of praise, he felt extremely harsh.

"So what does Boss Lei mean is that he wants me to give up the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas?"

Mecca nodded helplessly.

"Mr. Lin, you also know that you have indeed touched the bottom limit of Boss Lei by doing this, if you really take this step, you will be the enemy of Princess Jin!"

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, Lin Xi still felt uncomfortable when he heard Mecca say this in person.

"So what about the "Baby Project" that the two of us are working on?"

When Lin Xi asked about this, it was equivalent to expressing his attitude.

Mecca's expression darkened, "Boss Lei is ready to withdraw his investment, and I'm also going to quit this movie!" ”

Lin Xi's face was gloomy, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that I will take the contract to the court and sue you?" ”

"Of course I'm afraid, so Boss Lei is not ready to withdraw directly, but to sign an understanding agreement with Mr. Lin first, if you don't sign it, he will drag the filming progress of this drama for various reasons......"

With a click, the pencil in Lin Xi's hand was directly pinched into two by him.

"Lei Juekun is really calculating, he just can't afford to drag on this drama, so he forced me to admit it?"

Lin Xi's eyes were on fire, and Mecca couldn't help but lower her head.

In fact, Mecca also felt that Lei Juekun's matter was a bit excessive, and he was supposed to be a man and leave a line, so that he would see each other in the future, but Lei Juekun did this, which was tantamount to completely tearing his face with Lin Xi, and there would be no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides in the future.

"Okay, Lei Juekun wants to withdraw his investment, then I promised him, but there is a sentence to ask Mr. Mai to tell him on his behalf!" Lin Xi stood up with his hands on his desk and said word by word: "I hope he won't regret this decision in the future!" ”

Mecca's heart sank, he knew that from Lei Juekun's point of view, it was understandable to suppress competitors like this, but because of this plain and unprovoked a strong enemy, was it really good to do so?

Looking at Lin Xi's angry but calm eyes, Mecca always had a bad premonition in her heart.
