Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1748

At the beginning, Isao Matsuoka tried his best to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, but in the end he chose to quit because of an additional investment.

Although there are more or less Lin Daoqiu's inducements in it.

But the conservative character of Nihongren itself, coupled with the pressure on him from within the company, is the real reason why Matsuoka Isao chose to quit this time.

In the final analysis, it was because of Isao Matsuoka's bad luck that the sample of "1992" has not yet come out.

If he had seen the samples of "1992", I believe he would not have made such a stupid choice.

After taking back the New Oriental Cinemas, Lin Daoqiu re-decorated and spent nearly 1 million yuan to re-equip the 36 theaters.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, whether the theater can attract more customers, apart from the movies, the quality of the theater is also a major factor.

If it weren't for the fact that the theater land at hand was not very large, Lin Daoqiu really wanted to build a big shopping mall and put the theater in it, and then rent out other shops to others.

In this way, you can receive a large amount of rent every year, and the land price will continue to rise. It can be said that you can make a profit without losing money.

The most important thing is that such a large shopping mall can bring more and more stable audiences to the theater, which is killing three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't sit still. He called Li Guangwei and Li Maowen to his office.

"I want to buy some land and open several shopping malls."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to enter the real estate industry, which was something neither Li Guangwei nor Li Maowen expected.

However, most of the businessmen in Xiangjiang will start to enter real estate once they have money, which seems to have formed a trend.

"I wonder how many complexes Mr. Lin plans to open?"

As the chief financial officer of New Oriental, Li Guangwei can be said to be the chief steward of New Oriental.

For Lin Daoqiu's sudden idea of ​​opening a comprehensive shopping mall, Li Guangwei's first reaction was neither against nor support.

Cross-industry business is sometimes really unavoidable. Once you have money, you want to use the money to create more money. It can be said that 90.00% of businessmen think this way, and Lin Daoqiu naturally does not. exception.

However, it is completely different from what Li Guangwei thought, the reason why Lin Daoqiu wants to build a comprehensive shopping mall is ultimately to serve movies.

Of course, making money by renting out comprehensive shopping malls and increasing land value is just a matter of chance.

"Three, let's build a state-of-the-art independent theater in each of the three shopping malls, each with five independent projection halls."

What Lin Daoqiu said made Li Guangwei and Li Maowen a little confused. They didn't quite understand what Lin Daoqiu meant.

"Each screening hall is calculated based on the capacity to accommodate 3000 audiences. If all of my three theaters are full for a show, they can seat [-] people."

If calculated in this way, Lin Daoqiu opened fifteen small theaters at once, which was something no one else thought about.

And as time goes by, Lin Daoqiu will also transfer all cinemas to shopping malls. After all, this is the future trend, and it is basically impossible to have a separate cinema.

It's just that Li Guangwei and Li Maowen can't see the future trend yet, so they don't understand why Lin Daoqiu engages in this method of breaking things up into parts.

"It sounds like Mr. Lin's idea is very novel, but I think I can give it a try."

Li Guangwei was the first to vote in favor.

However, he agreed with Lin Daoqiu's plan not because of the ideas of independent theaters that the other party just proposed.

It's because Lin Daoqiu built the mall for the theater, and after the mall is built, the rest of the place needs to be rented out to others.

Coupled with Li Guangwei's conservative estimate, the land price in Xiangjiang will continue to rise in the future. It is by no means a bad thing to buy a large piece of land to build a shopping mall at this time.

As for things like building theaters in shopping malls, in fact, you can't make much money at all.

For them, the main thing is to collect rent and increase the value of the land, so Li Guangwei voted for it after thinking about it for a while, thinking that this matter can be done.

Li Maowen doesn't know much about financial matters, but Li Guangwei has already voted for it, which proves that Lin Daoqiu's idea is not whimsical, and there is indeed room for manipulation.

Since this is the case, Li Maowen will naturally not prevent Lin Daoqiu from doing this, and he also voted for it.

There is no objection within New Oriental regarding the construction of a shopping mall, but the problem is that it is not an easy task to build a theater in a shopping mall.

But this time Lin Daoqiu built the shopping mall for the theater, so when building the building, he can ask the designer to give priority to serving the theater when designing the drawings. This is something that other shopping malls will never do. .

If it weren't for the fact that the current shopping mall is too old, Lin Daoqiu really wouldn't mind buying one or two, and then empty the top floor and directly build two theaters inside.

When having dinner with Zhong Chuhong at night, Lin Daoqiu mentioned this matter to her.

"You're going to build a theater in a mall? Is this... is it possible?"

Zhong Chuhong never thought that the theater could be moved into the shopping mall. It can be said that Lin Daoqiu's idea is a bit too advanced.

"Of course it's possible. Don't look at the current theaters with five hundred or thousands of seats. I guess the future of theaters will definitely change from the seats."

Although the theater has begun to change a little bit now, but it is all from the internal facilities and video and audio, no matter how much these things are updated, they have come to an end.

Moreover, the renovation of large theaters takes time and money. Just this time, Lin Daoqiu will spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to upgrade the 36 theaters.

We must know that in a few years time, the lifespan of these theaters will probably come to an end, and then it will be the era of multiplex movies, and most of these theaters will be demolished.

Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to use all these to build shopping malls at that time, and he will either sell them or use them for other purposes.

"You are already thinking about the future, how did your brain grow?"

Zhong Chuhong couldn't think of something so far away at all, and she even felt that she couldn't estimate what she would be like next year.

"My brain is no different from that of ordinary people, it's just that everyone sees things differently."

Lin Daoqiu did not create the multi-hall era, he just followed the successful practice of the previous life.

But judging from his answer, Zhong Chuhong really liked this guy more and more. At least in this point, she felt that Lin Daoqiu's vision was much ahead of others.
