Chapter 156: Sabre Rattling
The next morning, while Gu Chen was having breakfast, ATV urgently broadcast a news item on TV: A scaffolding collapse at Kowloon Development Company Limited's construction site on Huanjing Street in Hung Hom this morning killed at least seven people and injured 15 others. Firefighters are still at the scene for rescue, and the specific casualties have yet to be counted. Regarding the accident, our reporter tried to interview Mr. Lei Juekun, chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Construction Industry, but so far there has been no response from Mr. Lei.
He Chaoqiong also saw the news on TV, and said while cutting poached eggs with a knife and fork: "There was a scaffolding collapse accident on the construction site, and so many people died, it will be a heavy blow to Kowloon Jianye, it seems that Lei Juekun has to be busy this time." ”
……
"Slap ......" Lei Juekun slapped his eldest son Lei Wenqing in the face, and still scolded angrily: "Bastard thing who has more than enough success and more than failure, I told you a long time ago that the land in Hung Hom Huanjing Street is relatively soft, and the bottom of the scaffolding must be reinforced. ”
Lei Wenqing covered his hot face and said unconvinced: "There is no problem in the first place, if it hadn't rained for the past few days, it wouldn't have ......"
"It's all like this, you're still quibbling, you're ...... Are you trying to me off...... Uh......" Lei Juekun suddenly covered his heart and gasped violently, Lei Wenjun, who had been sitting silently on the side, was shocked when he saw this, and quickly supported Lei Juekun and shouted anxiously: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Lei Juekun was speechless, and seeing that Lei Wenqing was still standing in a daze, Lei Wenjun shouted angrily: "What are you still doing, hurry up and find medicine." ”
……
Gu Chen didn't go out all morning, chatting in the living room with Liu Huiyun and He Chaoqiong. After lunch, He Chaoqiong and Liu Huiyun went out, Gu Chen was thinking about what to do, the eldest brother rang, and as soon as he picked it up, Zeng Zhiwei's unique voice came: "Have you heard, Lei Juekun has had a heart attack and is hospitalized?" ”
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and said: "I heard that Lei Juekun originally had a heart attack, and I think it's normal for such a big construction accident to occur in Kowloon Construction this time." ”
"It's normal, but I heard that Lei Juekun is very sick this time, and there are a lot of reporters gathered outside the hospital, so I can't ...... this time."
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
Zeng Zhiwei no longer detoured, and said directly: "At noon, a reporter photographed Pan Disheng visiting Lei Juekun in the hospital, do you think Pan Disheng will be on the attention of the Golden Princess Cinema." ”
"Oh?" Gu Chen frowned and groaned, and said, "Do you think Lei Juekun will sell the Golden Princess Cinema now?" ”
"It's hard to say, not long ago, Lei Juekun went to the hospital because of a heart attack, and this time he went in again, and his body is estimated to be enough, in the case that Lei Wenqing and Lei Wenjun are unwilling to take over the Golden Princess Cinema, if someone wants to buy the Golden Princess Cinema at a reasonable price at this time, Lei Juekun may really agree."
"The key depends on Lei Juekun's physical condition." Gu Chen saw the crux of the matter, and immediately said, "That's it, you will accompany me to the hospital later." ”
"It's good."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen sat on the sofa and frowned and pondered, integrating and controlling all the theater resources in Hong Kong is one of his goals at this stage, and he has already hit the idea of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, but he has been waiting for a good opportunity, as long as this opportunity comes, he doesn't mind spending more money. Obviously, now is a rare opportunity, and he can't let Pan Disheng take the lead.
……
As soon as Pan Disheng appeared downstairs in the inpatient department of the hospital, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters:
"Mr. Pan, how is Mr. Lei's condition, can you tell us about it?"
"I heard that Mr. Pan has been interested in acquiring the Golden Princess Cinema Line, is it because of this incident that Mr. Pan came to visit Mr. Lei in the hospital today?"
“……”
Pan Disheng raised his hand and pressed it down, and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet." When the surroundings quieted down, Pan Disheng said with a smile: "As an outsider, it is inconvenient for me to disclose Mr. Lei's condition, as for the matter of the Golden Princess Cinema that the reporter asked just now, I can say it, that's right, I have always been interested in acquiring the Golden Princess Cinema, and I have had preliminary communication with the two sons of the Lei family on this matter just now, and both of them are very satisfied with my offer." Of course, the final decision still needs to be made by Mr. Lei. ”
"Mr. Pan lost to Chen Shao last time when he acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas, is this acquisition of Golden Princess Cinemas to compete with Tang Dynasty films?"
A reporter didn't open the pot, and the smile on Pan Disheng's face suddenly disappeared: "I admit that the performance of Tang Dynasty movies this year is very eye-catching, but it has not yet reached the point of dominating the Hong Kong film industry, so I think it is a bit ridiculous to compete with Tang Dynasty movies." ”
At this time, I don't know which reporter said: "It seems to be Chen Shao's car." The reporters looked back and saw two high-end BMW cars parked in the open space outside, Gu Chen and Zeng Zhiwei were getting down from one of the cars, like a cat smelling fishy, and all the reporters rushed towards Gu Chen at once:
"Chen Shao, did you show up here to visit Mr. Lei?"
"Mr. Pan Disheng intends to acquire the Golden Princess Cinema to fight against the Tang Dynasty movie, what do you think about this?"
"Chen Shao, are you also interested in the Golden Princess Cinema?"
“……”
No matter how the reporter asked, Gu Chen didn't say a word, under the escort of the four bodyguards, he quickly walked in front of Pan Disheng, and smiled when he saw people, this is Gu Chen's habit of treating people, not to mention that he is still in front of media reporters, so he raised his hand and shook Pan Disheng very friendly, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Pan's movements to be so fast, but many things are not useful if they are not fast." ”
Pan Di said with a smile: "Mr. Gu's movements are not slow, as for whether it is useful to move fast, I will not know until the most rear." ”
As soon as the two spoke, they were-for-tat, and the reporters around them were excited, and the cameras in their hands clicked and flashed, recording the scene of the two shaking hands.
For example: Chen Shao and Pan Disheng are tense because of Princess Jin. Another example: Princess Jin will **, is Chen Shao? Or Pan Dickson?
Although the people of the Lei family have never expressed any intention of selling the Golden Princess Cinema Line, the reporter will not care about this, all they want is the attention of readers, nothing more.
