Seeing that Li Guoxing's eyes kept rolling, obviously thinking about the gains and losses, Lin Xiaozhi just sat aside and smoked, and did not urge him to answer immediately. A cigarette quickly went down, and he didn't smoke another cigarette as usual, but poured himself a glass of wine and drank most of it, waiting for him to think it through.

He is not afraid of Li Guoxing's refusal, he has known Li Guoxing for several years, and Lin Xiaozhi also knows that he has always had a plan to list Meiya. Li Guoxing may not be able to accept that his company is being acquired, but it is difficult to resist the temptation to go public, especially with New Asia and Debao.

Sure enough, after thinking for a few minutes, Li Guoxing finally took the initiative to speak, although he still didn't reply directly, the tone of his words had softened a lot, "...... Lin Sheng invited me to come today, it's a good banquet, a Hongmen banquet."

He turned his face sideways and stared at Lin Xiaozhi's face for a while before he continued: "When you acquired Xinyibao Records in your own name in the middle of last year, I noticed that we were the same people. At the beginning of the year, you probably had another reason for taking a stake in Cheng Pao, so you didn't buy it in your own name, but for New Asia, right?

Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor refuting his words. However, he admired Li Guoxing a little in his heart, and he was able to beat the three giants of the Hong Kong film industry from scratch to become the largest distributor in Hong Kong.

Indeed, from the very beginning, Lin Xiaozhi hoped to buy "Cheng Pao" in his personal name, but he was really nervous at that time. At that time, he was trapped with nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars because of speculation in the RMB black market, and seeing that the money could not escape in a short period of time, he finally chose to acquire it in the name of New Asia.

Although he is not averse to the introduction of partners, Lin Xiaozhi, who has been a man for two lives, still has a heavy desire to control

From his silence, Li Guoxing already knew the answer. sighed and lit a cigarette for himself: "When I first cooperated with Xinya, Lin Sheng's magic brought me a lot of shocks, and in the past two years, Xinya has always done amazing things, I thought I had learned about Lin Sheng, but I didn't expect to look away." Lin Sheng, if you don't speak, I'm afraid it's not that you have nothing to say, but it's inconvenient to speak. ”

It was obviously a cigarette that he had just lit, but he took a puff and extinguished it, and his mood seemed very uneven. After extinguishing the cigarette butt, Li Guoxing stared at his face with a serious expression: "...... I guess, if I say that Meiya doesn't agree, Lin Sheng, your newly acquired Debao will probably have to change hands to compete with us in Southeast Asia......"

"That's right......"

When it came to this, Lin Xiaozhi had no intention of hiding it, and finally opened his mouth. Meeting Li Guoxing's gaze, he smiled slightly: "After acquiring Debao, I originally had two sets of plans. If we can move Li Dong, we will set up a group company, and count all the shares of Xinya Film, Debao, Chengbao, Xinya Records and Meiya Entertainment into it, and everyone will make money, and after the comprehensive merger, everyone will condense into a fist, and we will have the largest voice in Hong Kong and even the whole Asia; And if you can't move Li Dong, you...

He squinted at Li Guoxing, whose face was starting to get nervous, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "...... If I can't move you, I will choose to buy back Sancheng Xinya shares from Li Dong. Whether you sell it or not, I will separate the shares of "Cheng Pao" from the company, make every effort to acquire the shares in the hands of the Ho Wen Huat family, and completely control the Cheng Pao Newspaper Group. Then New Asia Films and New Asia Records were merged into Debao, and in the next five years, I will allocate 100 million yuan a year to smash out our own distribution channel. ”

The threat of this red fruit made Li Guoxing's face change instantly. He didn't doubt that Lin Xiaozhi would do this, there was no father and son in the mall, let alone just partners. New Asia didn't have the strength before, so the issuance of foreign ports in Southeast Asia was handed over to Meiya to do, which was equivalent to giving up half of the income that should have belonged to itself in Southeast Asia, and almost giving out tens of millions of dividends in a year, and no one could always do so.

In the past, the four giants of Hong Kong films, whether it was Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Arts City, or Debao, all did not hesitate to spend money to run their own channels in Southeast Asia, and most of the films distributed by Meiya were produced by independent film companies. And now that Xinya has risen, it is necessary to set aside Meiya to build its own channels, although it is suspected of turning its face and not recognizing people, but it is normal.

His face changed again and again, Li Guoxing poured himself two glasses of wine expressionlessly, poured it down, closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa and was silent for a while before he opened his eyes, with a faint hint of tiredness in his eyes. Once it is true as Lin Xiaozhi said, the originally close cooperation between the United States and New Asia will soon begin to face direct competition. In the past year or so, more than a dozen films released by Meiya have made it famous in Southeast Asia, and most of its company's profits come from the distribution of New Asia films and videotapes.

It's no longer that Xinya can't do without Meiya, but that Meiya will immediately break a leg after missing Xinya, and then go into battle to compete with companies such as Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Xinya Debao, which will be a difficult war for Meiya without its own film production company.

“…… In principle, I have no objection to cooperating with you. But Meiya is not my alone, give me three days......" He tried to calm his voice, but the trills in his words betrayed the true thoughts of his master.

Although Li Guoxing did not make it clear that he should come down, Lin Xiaozhi was overjoyed when he heard this, "No problem, but the sooner this happens, the better." I might as well give you another thorough explanation of Chairman Li, I have already sent someone to negotiate with the He Wenfa family to acquire "Cheng Pao", and it is nearing the end, if nothing else, the contract may be signed in the next few days. In addition, I have also selected several listed companies and am considering acquiring a shell company to be listed by the end of this year or in January next year......"

Li Guoxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he understood the meaning of Lin Xiaozhi's words

The merger of Meiya is half negotiated, and Lin Xiaozhi's purpose today is also half completed. Seeing that the time had passed half past six and that the guests he had invited were almost coming, the two tacitly agreed not to talk about this topic again. You tell me an anecdote about the shooting, and I'll talk about Southeast Asia for a while, as if no one remembers the tension between the two just now, this is the businessman.

After half past six, the time seemed to be going faster and faster above the clockwork. Lin Xiaozhi invited a lot of people to come today, and soon some guests arrived.

There was a conversation on the other side of the aisle, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was discussing Thai movies with Li Guoxing, looked up over there, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face and stood up to greet him, "Brother Xian, Zhang Sheng, thank you for your face today."

The first to arrive was two people, one of whom was not a bystander, it was Li Xiuxian, the former boss of Universal Pictures. Now that Magnum has been acquired by Lin Xiaozhi, he is still the nominal top manager, holding Xinya and Debao, Lin Xiaozhi naturally doesn't care about competing for the title of Magnum Boss.

“…… At noon, Cui Sheng and I went out fishing, and I had so much fun that I just returned to the port. I thought it would be too late to go home and change clothes, so Yu Crisp came directly from the dock. Lin Sheng, don't think I'm smelling of the sea......

The other person is Zhang Guozhong, the boss of the entertainment industry, who is also a big brother in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, at least in the circle of agents, he is an out-and-out boss. In the film industry, even if it doesn't work. Zhang Guozhong's temperament is a little soft, and there are too many first- and second-tier well-known artists signed by the company, not only Golden Harvest, New Art City and He Lin are all eyeing this piece of fat, it is said that during ordinary filming, the signed artists under the art can also be forcibly invited to film by some people in the Hong Kong underworld.

"Coincidentally, my car just passed by the dock and met Ah Xian waiting for the car, so I brought him by the way" Zhang Guozhong is a very amiable middle-aged man, a little short but very energetic and loves to laugh. He is one of the people who have the most friends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, from Zhou Yanfa , Liu Dehua to some tricks, as long as others don't play in front of him, even if they come over and take the initiative to talk to him, both of them can chat for dozens of minutes.

As soon as he saw the guests, Li Guoxing also left the rest area in the corner of the restaurant, got up from the sofa and greeted the two.

"Yo, Dong Li is also here"

"Lin Sheng's face can't be left ungiven, even if there is something, I have to squeeze out time."

They all eat together in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and they are very familiar with each other, but they don't need Lin Xiaozhi to introduce them again. The four of them had just sat down and chatted for a while after a few polite words, and it didn't take long for more and more people to come.

There are not many people invited by Lin Xiaozhi tonight, and there are only eleven people with him, and they are all related to him.

It didn't take long for Cen Jianxun and Xian Qiran to come, although the two were a little wrong because of Pan Disheng's provocation earlier, but Debao has now been acquired by Lin Xiaozhi, and under the inevitable group psychology of changing to a new owner, the relationship has eased recently, and they also came together today.

Not long after, Liu Jialiang, Chen Xunqi, Xu Guanwen, and Deng Guangrong also arrived, and as Hong Jinbao walked out of the elevator, all nine people who received Lin Xiaozhi's invitation came.

As soon as everyone arrived, Lin Xiaozhi, as the initiator of today's dinner, naturally became busy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for admiring your face tonight and accepting Lin's invitation to come to this evening's private party. As you can see, I didn't invite many people tonight, just those of us who eat in the film industry. All of you here are old acquaintances, so you don't have to be restrained tonight, let's get together rarely, have a good chat, get together"

What he said was true, and the people he invited to come here today are not outsiders.

Cen Jianxun and Xian Qiran are the president of Debao Cinema Line and the president of Debao Films, collectively known as Debao Double Tigers, and now Debao is under his command and has become a family. Li Xiuxian's omnipotence and Zhang Guozhong's entertainment Lin Xiaozhi all have shares; Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Company was recently bought by him for 5 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 45 shares; Although Liu Jialiang's film company collapsed in the early 80s, he is now not only a first-line director and martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, but Lin Xiaozhi is also very interested in the copyright of more than a dozen films under his company's name, and is considering buying the copyright of Liu Jialiang's dozen old films shot in the seventies and eighties to enrich his own source library. And although the Liu Jiaban he formed in his early years is now much weaker, it is still one of the best film shooting teams in Hong Kong, although Lin Xiaozhi recruited his brother-in-law Liu Jiahui, he is still eyeing the rest of the Liu Jiaban.
