Chapter 616: Conversation Between the Banquets

"Liu Qingyun won the award?"

In the cultural center, Lin Xiaozhi sat in his place, and when he saw Faye Wong on the stage report the name 'Liu Qingyun' in an incredible tone, Rao was as calm as him, and for a moment he only felt like his head had been hit with a hammer, and he felt a little dizzy.

"How could it be him?"

Lin Xiaozhi's left and right hands sat his wife Zhou Huimin and Lin Jianming respectively, Lin Jianming smiled and asked curiously: "What you say is strange, you have made a movie and won a gold cup winner, why are you startled!" ”

Lin Jianming's position should have been Li Jiaxin's, and soon after noon, the ninth uncle Lin Baixin temporarily called him to ask for a seat, Lin Xiaozhi originally thought that he or his second son Lin Jianle wanted to come and join in the fun, who knew that the person who came turned out to be Lin Jianming, and he looked like he was looking for him. Because it was too late to change it temporarily, Li Jiaxin took the initiative to give up his position and sit on Zhou Huimin's left hand.

It's not surprising that this year's Academy Awards have gradually restored the thriving momentum of the early Academy Awards because of his intervention. For example, when he tried to introduce a more reasonable and widely registered public jury system like the American Oscars, to replace the Hong Kong Film Awards, which has been in place for many years, and it is easy to cause small circles to form group judges, he was categorically rejected by the "Film Fortnightly" and can only be sought in the future.

Ten years ago, the attitude of accepting all rivers at the beginning of the Academy Awards is not that it can be changed immediately, and the Hong Kong Film Awards jury has been deeply influenced by the American film academy in recent years, so even he himself was not optimistic that Liu Qingyun would win the Golden Cup for Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards.

Lin Jianming naturally didn't know this, Lin Xiaozhi had to tell him briefly, and even noticed that a group of ATV cameras in charge of the live broadcast were pointed in the direction where he was, exposing the scene where he and Lin Jianming's uncle and nephew were talking in close detail on the big screen in the venue of the big cultural center and the small screen in many families in Hong Kong.

For Lin Jianming, Lin Xiaozhi has not known what mood to use to face him in the past year.

The two are uncles and nephews, but this kind of relationship bond can be intimate or indifferent to the court in the rich family. What's more, two years ago, Lin Xiaozhi still played some small tricks to take most of ATV's shares from Lin Jianming's hands, and provoked him to continue to compete with his younger brother Lin Jianle for Lixin.

In the end, his fate was not bleak but definitely not good, after Lin Baixin intervened, he was angry that he easily let ATV out, and there were Lin Jianle's mother and son around to fan the flames, and finally he was arranged by him to be a group director for almost a year, and it was no surprise that he completely lost the qualification to compete with his younger brother for Lin Baixin's Lin family's property after a hundred years.

Lin Xiaozhi pitted people, he knew this, and he was definitely not authentic when he did it. In the past year, Lin Jianming probably figured it out, he hadn't contacted him much for a year, and suddenly appeared in front of him today, and he didn't show any scheming emotions, but made him more sure that Lin Baixin had something to ask him for help.

This is not surprising, when he was in ATV, he was on the wrong path with Lin Jianle's typical rich second generation who walked proudly like a penguin with his head up, although he has eased up in the past few years, and he has begun to take the initiative to greet each other, but it is limited to this. I'm afraid that Lin Baixin is also because of this, so he let his eldest son, who has been neglected for a long time, come forward, and the gambling is that he will feel guilty, and this matter is basically done.

Sure enough, as he expected, where would Lin Jianming care about the Academy Awards, but after finding a topic and chatting with him casually, he simply went straight to the topic, "Ah Zhi, I heard that your Kowloon Bank has been raising money everywhere recently, do you want to make a big move?" ”

Lin Xiaozhi's brows jumped, and he secretly scolded Song Nianhui in his heart, why was Song Nianhui so careless, but he groaned whether he should answer him.

In the past six months, the Bank of Kowloon has been raising money, and Song Nianhui has been operating in secret. Although the scale of deposits of the Bank of Kowloon has exceeded 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, which can barely be regarded as a large local bank, most of the deposits accepted by the bank are mainly short-term living funds, and more than 100 million yuan are withdrawn and transferred by its customers every day.

Fortunately, benefiting from the outstanding performance of the Lin family and the Bank of Kowloon in the past few years, they have a lot of medium and large wealth management customers in Hong Kong, especially after the establishment of Kowloon Securities last year, in a very short period of time, relying on the good reputation built in the past few years, they have attracted nearly 700 VIP customers, and managed nearly 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets for their company and family.

With these connections and connections, as well as some other Chinese-funded banks that have good relations with the Bank of Kowloon, the Lin family can raise a large amount of money through these connections once they need it. And they do need a lot of money for some things now, so Song Nianhui has been secretly fundraising since August last year.

After turning his head quickly a few times, Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while before answering ambiguously: "It's some investment needs!" ”

Who knew that when Lin Jianming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Is there still a funding gap now?" ”

"This ......"

This question really stumped him, and the difficulty of what he was about to do was compared to the fact that he was going to buy UCT Cinemas with Polygram.

There is indeed a funding gap, and it is not small, even two days ago, he and Song Nianhui were worried about this. But even if Lin Xiaozhi now understands that Lin Baixin sent his eldest son Lin Jianming over this time to force him to return the favor, and he also wants to come over and get a piece of the pie, he still has to carefully consider whether he can agree.

Because of the two major moves he and Song Nianhui are brewing, if one is successful, it will help the Lin family achieve the status of the No. 1 Chinese banking family in Hong Kong and even the world in the future, and the importance naturally needs not be said. And the other is of great significance to Lin Xiaozhi, if he can do it, he will be invincible in the world film industry.

The prospect is too beautiful, and if the Lin Baixin family intervenes, they will naturally share some of the benefits, for example, last year, he and Lin Baixin proposed that the two families jointly invest, and then go to the Beiying Group on the mainland side to jointly acquire land to build a new cinema line in the mainland, although this matter is still in the late stage of negotiations, but now it has basically been determined that the Lin Baixin family will invest in it5. 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and owns 27% of the shares of this cinema chain in the future. If it weren't for the consideration of winning over Lin Baixin's family, he actually didn't want to give up this good opportunity to give birth to a steady stream of golden eggs ten years later.

"That's it, you always need to pay back the favors you owe, not to mention pulling Lin Baixin, the top ten richest people, and the gap in funds should be able to be filled!"

After a gloomy face for a while, Lin Xiaozhi finally made up his mind, looked at his uncle Lin Jianming, who had the same uncertain expression as him, and seemed to be very worried that he would refuse, and said, "Uncle Ming, I already understand what you and Uncle Jiu think, so I will also say it." In the second half of this year, we do have a few relatively large transactions to do, although it is a little reluctant to eat only by our own family, but if we really grit our teeth and complete it, the future is also expensive. So, this time I won't let others in and let the meat out of my mouth! ”

When Lin Jianming heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy and ugly.

He was about to speak, but he didn't want Lin Xiaozhi to reach out in front of him, and suppressed the anger that reached his throat again.

I only heard him continue: "But ATV owes you a great favor to Uncle Ming in this matter, the ninth uncle is the ninth uncle, since he asked you to come forward, I am reluctant to give face in this matter." Let's understand, most of the funds have been solved on our side, but there are still some shorts. I don't know where Uncle Nine heard the news, but if he wants to get involved, he has to make up this amount of money for me! ”

The hand that had just stopped him from speaking moved slightly, and the three fingers were clenched into fists, and the thumb and little finger were raised, and a number was drawn.

Lin Jianming suddenly took a breath of cold air when he saw it, and he felt that his eyelids were constantly twitching, and he still had a little expectation, and asked in a trembling voice: "600 million?" ”

He didn't ask whether it was Hong Kong dollars or US dollars, expecting that Lin Xiaozhi's answer would be Hong Kong dollars, but he vaguely guessed that the answer was probably the second one.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaozhi shook his head very dryly, and spit out a number that made him almost faint: "Six billion Hong Kong dollars!" ”

His heartbeat seemed to jump to the highest level in an instant and then jump down violently, if it weren't for the good family upbringing, he almost couldn't hold back and would have exclaimed.

But even if he held back, the repetition of a red and white face proved that he was not calm at this time.

Taking a deep breath suddenly, after finally suppressing the horror in his heart, Lin Jianming still looked a little shocked at the nephew in front of him who suddenly felt a lot stranger, and asked in a trembling voice: "Six billion, what do you want so much money for?" ”

Six billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount. You must know that the price he made when he sold ATV to Lin Xiaozhi just over a year ago was only a fraction of this amount. Now as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for six billion funds, and vaguely mentioned that this was just a small gap left in the huge funds he had raised now, and judging by his attitude, if Lin Baixin didn't agree, he wouldn't even be able to buy a ticket to cooperate with him.

Rao was born in a rich and noble family, but Lin Jianming also scared him at this time, and after seeing that Lin Xiaozhi still didn't mean to answer for a while, he lowered his voice again and said: "The amount of funds you reported is too large, I can't be the master, and I must explain to my father when I go back." Achi, even if you are going to make a big deal, you still need someone to help you. We are very sincere, you and I are not outsiders, it's better to show me a little bit, at least let me go back, so that I won't be able to say anything in front of my dad! ”

That's really the reason!

Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw that Liu Qingyun no longer knew when he was standing on the podium, his eyes were red, and then he nodded slightly and said: "Uncle Jiu is an understanding person, you go back and tell him that we are going to attack East Asia and an American publishing company, he should be able to guess something!" ”
