Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 206 Two Cinemas
Baifanyu patted his chest and said, "Don't look at me as an old man, but I know quite a few Nanyang merchants.

Moreover, there are so many rich people from Nanyang who come to Hong Kong Island to invest in Hong Kong Island, and they can't find a way to make money with banknotes.

As long as it is a legitimate way to give them a profitable project with a good prospect, I will go out and shout, at least ten or eight rich people will come to my house to block me. "

Fu Xiangsen was taken aback, then turned to look at Guo Zhenhua, Gao Xinxin hurriedly walked in front of her future father-in-law, and said in a low voice, "Father, I heard from my cousin that this old Mr. Bai is a famous fisherman with assets worth at least tens of millions.

The most important thing is that his son-in-law is Lei Luo, the Chief Inspector of Hong Kong Island. "

Fu Xiangsen's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that he had misread.

Then, for the first time, I began to pay attention to the family background and relationship of my daughter-in-law's family.

He also became enthusiastic about Chu Xiangqian's attitude, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Chu Sheng, Bai Sheng, please also invite Haihan, when I arrived at Baodi, my thoughts were all on the marriage between my dog ​​and my future wife.

It is a sin to be negligent. "

Bai Fanyu waved his hands carelessly, he really has the capital to ignore the rich people in Nanyang.

After all, Nanyang is so big and there are so many rich Chinese, so there are naturally more partners to choose from.

Besides, he didn't rely on the Nanyang market to make money, so he didn't need to be polite to Fu Xiangsen.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, even if he didn't cooperate with the Fu family, it would be good to hear some news from him first.

If we can talk about it, it is natural that we are familiar with it but not raw.

After politely returning a salute and saying a few polite words, Fu Xiangsen thought for a moment and said, "Take Kuala Lumpur, the Lion City, and Bangkok as examples, a few years ago, a movie theater with 20 seats could be built with roughly 300 Hong Kong dollars.

It's just that the situation is a little unstable now, and many Chinese in Vietnam and neighboring countries are tightening their business.

Some have simply transferred their business to cities such as the Lion City, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Manila in the Philippines.

On the contrary, the real estate industry, which should have lowered prices because of the unstable situation, has shown an upward trend.

I estimate that I want to open theaters in the Lion City, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Bangkok. The first three cities should cost 25 to 30 Hong Kong dollars.

In Bangkok, it may only cost 15 to 20. "

Chu Xiangqian knew that what old man Fu said was unstable, he was talking about the Vietnam Liberation War.

Thailand, which is so close, is indeed not a suitable place for investment in the eyes of many people these days.

It is normal thinking that the Chinese in Southeast Asia will go to the Philippines, Malaysia and the Lion City to invest and avoid risks.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that even when Vietnam was at its most arrogant, it would take 20 years.

Moreover, in the Celestial Dynasty at that time, it was impossible for the Yuenan people to dominate the southeast peninsula.

Chu Xiangqian nodded to old man Fu, then turned to look at Baifanyu and asked, "Uncle, how much does a movie theater on Hong Kong Island cost?"

Baifanyu thought about it. He really didn't know the details, but if he bought a ready-made shopping mall or built a movie theater on empty land, it would cost about 40 to 50 yuan, right?

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that when Shaw Brothers sold its theater chain in the 80s, it seemed that the asking price was 3 million.

But the first time it failed to sell, Shao Sixth Uncle saved it himself. If he persisted, he left 4 leading cinemas, and rented the rest to Debao.

In other words, in just over 20 years, land prices have increased by 7 to 80 times.

Then Chu Xiangqian thought that when the Shaw Brothers bought the Clear Water Bay Movie Studios in the 50s, the land only cost 32 yuan, and when the Clear Water Bay was sold in the new millennium, the selling price was 62 billion.

Of course, the outcry price is an outcry price, and it was actually only sold for 15 billion.

But the problem is not that no one bought it, but that many people on Hong Kong Island opposed the demolition of the Clear Water Bay studio to see villas and residential buildings.

Otherwise, for the 115 billion first bid, in fact, someone is willing to negotiate.

It is a pity that the price was negotiated in the first two times, but met with opposition from the public. After more than ten years of procrastination, this treasure land was only sold for 15 billion in the end.

It can be described as a big loss.

But if it is sold before the new year, the Clear Water Bay studio will definitely sell for 80-[-] million.

As for the mud horse, Chu Xiangqian made up his mind this time to buy more land and houses on Hong Kong Island.

Looking at Baifanyu, he said, "Uncle, I will take 300 million Hong Kong dollars to build 6 movie theaters, and you will take 200 million to build 4 cinemas.

Our property rights belong to each other, but how about joining together to form a theater alliance? "

Baifanyu doesn't mind taking 200 out for fun, after all, this is buying a property, not renting someone else's house.

Just looking forward to the appreciation of real estate is a good investment.

In addition, there are a lot of subordinates, if you can make money, it will be a good thing for yourself and your subordinates.

"Can you really make money?"

Chu shrugged forward, "How about we make an agreement or sign a contract.

If you don't want those 4 movie theaters in three years, I'll buy them for 300 million, how about it? "

"Not so good", Baifanyu is not stupid, although he earned 100 million in three years, the rate of return is not low, but he can see Chu Xiangqian's thoughts at a glance.

He said, "Your uncle and I are such gutless people, since we are in business, there is no such thing as a stable profit without losing money.

Isn't it just 200 million, I just want to play with you. "

Chu Xiangqian gave Bai Fanyu a blank look. Seeing his expression, the old guy knew immediately that he had made the right bet.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was deflated in front of him for the first time, his back molars were exposed when he laughed.

Chu Xiangqian ignored him, looked at Fu Xiangsen and said, "Mr. Fu, in one month, I will send 100 million Hong Kong dollars to my door. You can help me build or directly buy ready-made floors in Lion City and Kuala Lumpur. 4 films.

In return, the property rights belong to me, and these four movie theaters will be managed by the Fu family for the next three years, and each of us will get half of the income.

If the annual profit of each movie theater is less than 5 Hong Kong dollars, I will make up the 2 Hong Kong dollars that your family should receive. "

The meaning of this is very clear, to guarantee the income of each of the Fu family's 10 Hong Kong dollars.

For the Fu family, not only can they make a steady profit without losing money, but they can also observe the market conditions of the theater market in three years to decide whether to follow up and open movie theaters in the future.

And Chu Xiangqian made it clear that he was spending money to create a theater circuit in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian's selection of the Lion City and Kuala Lumpur really stimulated Fu Xiangsen, who thought for a while and said, "I also intended to increase my business in the Lion City and Kuala Lumpur.

Since this is the case, how about I also contribute 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and we will jointly open 8 films in the Lion City and Kuala Lumpur, and the shares will be [-]% and [-]%.

But the management belongs to the Fu family. "

Chu Xiangqian sneered inwardly, it was clear that he was taking advantage of himself.

But Chu Xiangqian had to agree, because he had no one to go to the two cities to manage movie theaters.

After thinking about it, my goal from the beginning was to open up overseas box offices, and to be able to account for half of the shares, in fact, I have exceeded my goal.

And to put it bluntly, whether theaters can make money depends on movies.

And Chu Xiangqian is confident enough that the movies he makes will definitely have a market.

Glancing at Baifanyu, the old man stopped talking at this moment.

Chu Xiangqian laughed. He could spend 200 million to play with him. There was no reason for him to contribute money and efforts when he could not see the future clearly.

"Okay, I will raise the money within a month. We will set up a company account together and store it in the designated bank. We will also hire law firms and accountants to supervise and handle legal issues."

Seeing what Chu Xiangqian said, old man Fu thought to himself, it seems that this kid is not a good fool.

The general negotiation is completed, the question now is, where to find the movie to play.

Chu looked forward to Guo Zhenhua, "Mr. Guo, are you interested in becoming a movie star?"

Guo Zhenhua shook his head without even thinking about it, and asked him to be the cook, that was full of confidence.

Let him go out in the road, and he can enjoy it. After all, he has been the boss for less than a year, and he has already had experience in how the short mules think and deal with each other.

But when you think about being a star, you have no idea.

"I will offer you 1 yuan to help me make a movie. It will take no more than 3 months. If you lose money in the end, it has nothing to do with you.

Yes, just nod, if not, I'll go find someone else. "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Guo Zhenhua to agree, Chu Xiangqian said to Baifanyu and Fu Xiangsen, "You two old gentlemen, if you are not confident, you can wait.

I make movies and build theaters myself, and I will make a decision after watching the first movie and box office. "

Fu Xiangsen felt that this was the safest way, but Baifanyu was different from a well-behaved businessman like him.

If you see it, you have to take a gamble.Last year when Lei Luo competed for the chief inspector, Baifanyu said that he would give Lei Luo a gamble with all his wealth.

And Baifanyu's net worth at that time was only seven or eight million.

After more than a year, his net worth has at least doubled.

Making money is like running water, rushing to his house.

"It's agreed that you invest 300 million and I invest 200 million. Even if it doesn't work out, if the ready-made real estate is sold, you won't lose much.

At that time, you help Uncle get a tiger, and the matter will be over. "

Fu Xiangsen and Fu Jie's father and son's complexions suddenly turned bad.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly said, "Old Mr. Fu, I sincerely cooperate, and naturally I don't want to make a fuss because of a little disagreement.

So, it’s okay if you want to wait, but once you cooperate, if you want to go back on everything, you can follow the business rules. "

Only then did Fu Xiangsen's expression get better, "Okay, I'll take a gamble with Chu Sheng, but after all I'm old enough to be in Lion City, so it's okay to handle it, so I have to let my Ajie do it.

It can be regarded as a kind of test and training for him. If there is anything that is not enough, I will be responsible for it.

But also ask Chu Sheng to take him with him. "

"Don't, don't, don't." Chu Xiangqian is not willing to take a young boy with him, "Learn from each other, and Mr. Fu is the best, I have to ask him to take care of me."

I thought Fu Jie would show a smug expression, but I didn't expect that this kid is indeed a talent.

He hurriedly got up and said, "Chu Sheng, if it is a legal issue, I still know a thing or two. I really don't understand the specific business and life. Please give me more advice.

And I really want to learn something from Chu Sheng. "

After leaving the Victoria Hotel, Chu Xiangqian threw the car keys to Baifanyu's subordinates and got into his car again.

Baifanyu didn't talk too much, and asked sternly, "Are you sure you can make a good movie?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Uncle, you asked me to make a movie, that's nonsense.

But to put it bluntly, let me design the fighting plot and actual operation, I dare say that no one in Hong Kong Island is better than me.

As long as the film is good-looking, and with my current fame, I believe there will be young people who are willing to watch the movie.

Or before the movie is released, I spend money to invite the boxing champion of the United States to come and fight, and the popularity will be picked up.

As for winning or losing, I'm not bragging. When you fight a boxer, you use too many hands and feet. "

Baifanyu and his confidant were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed amusedly.

But if you think about it seriously, the success rate of this matter is indeed very high.

The worry in my heart disappeared immediately, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this would definitely happen.

"The cost of making a movie, or should I also participate in it?"

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes angrily, but Bai Fanyu was so supportive of him just now, it was hard to justify his refusal.

Rolling his eyes, he said with a smile, "Uncle, just my family making movies is definitely not enough for theaters to play. And there are certain types of movies that I definitely can't make.

But Uncle, you have someone come forward, and after you set up a film company, you can make Fengyue type movies, that is your strong point.And this kind of movie has a small investment and a large return.

With 100 million spent, 10 movies can be made.As long as one hits, the investment will earn at least half.

No matter how poor the results of the other 9 films are, if the 9 films add up, they can still earn 50 yuan.

Wouldn't this investment pay off!
Two and three movies became popular, and once they were sold on Hong Kong Island, there were one or two million.Then send it to Southeast Asia, South Korea and island countries, and you can earn back two or three million. "

Baifanyu and his subordinates were breathing heavily as they listened.

The nightclub that Lei Luo secretly invested in is only 500 million yuan a year, and he only makes movies, finds some beautiful girls with Lulu shoulders, and can earn 300 million yuan.

Thinking about this business, I think it's a good idea.

Bai Fanyu patted Chu Qianqian's arm excitedly, "Ah Chu, there's nothing to say, about the movie, Uncle will listen to you from now on."

But Chu Xiangqian muttered in his heart, this dead old man is very smart, when he gains power, he has to fulfill his obligations accordingly.

If he didn't make any money, it would be hard for him to explain to Baifanyu.

However, if you think about it carefully, what you have to worry about is not to let Baifanyu make too much money.

Taking out the mature kung fu movies in the mid-to-late 70s will definitely crush the martial arts movies of this year.

As for romantic movies, Chu Xiangqian just thought about it, and there were at least dozens of such movies in his mind.

After thinking about it, I immediately decided, just like releasing records in the future, one or two good songs plus eight, nine, or ten songs that make up the number can make a record with big selling potential.

And just as I said before, 7 or 8 sham movies, after each one is released in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, can sell more than 20 or [-] at the box office no matter what.

A score with the theaters can basically protect the capital.

No, the theater chains are actually pretty strong these days.

People don't share the box office with you, but ask you to spend money on playing time.

Divided according to the size and location of the movie theater, the rental price of [-] to [-] a day is a safe and secure profit.

Of course, it is impossible for movie theaters to be willing to pay this price every day to buy the broadcasting rights.

Otherwise, Hong Kong Island would have been full of movie theaters.

Waiting for Hong Kong Island movies to break box office records time and time again, and the movies that ranked second to tenth also made a lot of money.

Theaters will start asking for box office splits because of their interests.

This is also a good thing for the film company, because no one can be sure how much money the movie they make will make.

With the abolition of the minimum guarantee system for theaters, the risk of film companies is also reduced.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you for a year or two, and wait until Uncle's investment returns and doubles. Uncle, you can hire someone else."

"Don't," Baifanyu immediately quit, "If I really earn back the investment, I will also earn double the investment income.

Uncle immediately gave you half of the shares in the film company, everyone can earn money, and you don't have to worry about ruining your reputation, right? "

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, and secretly scolded Baifanyu Nima for being a big fisherman who can thrive in this era.

With this determination and decisiveness alone, I am far behind him.

Shaking his head, he gave Baifanyu a thumbs up, "Uncle, you are amazing, I don't even know how to reject you."

Baifanyu immediately burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of complacency.

He fell in love with Lei Luo back then, and now Lei Luogui is the Inspector of Zonghua, so he can say that he is a hero for a while.

Now that he has taken a fancy to Chu Xiangqian, if it wasn't for his daughter, he would definitely marry his daughter to him immediately.

Since it can't be achieved by relying on the idea of ​​marriage, then use benefits and help to win over.

In the future, this investment may be larger than that of Lei Luo.

After all, Hong Kong Island is too small compared to the mainland, and there are too many uncertainties.

After getting off Baifanyu's car, Chu Xiangqian drove his own car and went home first, waiting for Master and Mistress to rest.

Then he drove to the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. Sure enough, even if Wallace had his head broken, he wouldn't want to stay in the hospital.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian, Wallace was overjoyed, and then with a sullen face, he invited him into his office.

After personally pouring a cup of coffee for Chu Xiangqian, he said with a gloomy face, "Chu, the people from the Evidence Division have confirmed that someone tampered with my car."

Chu Xiangqian would not answer the words foolishly, but asked with a frown, "What kind of trick?"

"Someone loosened the brake cable on my car with a tool. After the car started, it was fine at first, but as long as the brakes were too many times, the brake cable would break or fall off."

Chu Xiangqian immediately put on a surprised expression, "Is this trying to kill you?"

Wallace nodded with a sullen face, and Chu Xiangqian thought about it. Now that the situation is underway, it seems that he doesn't have to kill Wallace.

It's better to guide him and become your own help.

When this old boy is useless to him, he will be sent to prison. After all, this old boy helped people transport arms to Hong Kong Island, so he decided not to let him go easily.

"No, no," Chu Xiangqian shook his head and said in a low voice, "This time it should be a warning, or if it's me instead, I'll just plant a bomb under your car."

Wallace was taken aback for a moment, but instead of becoming furious, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian guessed that this ghost was most afraid of being killed by others.

Pretending to have a headache, he said, "Look at this, you have offended someone unintentionally, or hindered a certain party's financial resources."
