Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 295 The gap is too big

Chu Qianqian knocked on the door and entered He Yisheng's office, where he saw him sorting out a stack of documents.

He Yisheng stood up hurriedly, "Boss, I'm about to report last month's sales and finance to you."

Chu waved his hand forward and sat opposite He Yisheng, "Sit."

He Yisheng sat down hurriedly, took out a report and said, "Boss, the sales volume of the newspaper this week has not only stabilized at around [-] copies.

On the third day after the film was released, all 4 copies printed by the newspaper were sold out that morning.

I made the decision and urgently printed an additional 5 copies. Before 6 pm, I called newspapers and magazines to inquire, and the news I got was that they were basically sold out by [-] or [-] pm.

Looking at this, it is very likely that the daily sales will exceed 5 next month. "

"Very good." Chu Xiangqian's face lit up after hearing this, "It seems that while newspapers are very effective in promoting movies, good movies can also in turn increase the sales of newspapers.

In this case, building construction is now on the agenda.You can start by looking for land first, then find designers, construction companies, etc. "

He Yisheng's face was ecstatic. The employees of the newspaper office worked so hard and desperately just to wait until the sales volume reached the boss's requirements before they actually started building residential buildings!

Now that the boss has made a decision and confirmed the advance preparations, the employees of the newspaper office will definitely be more motivated next month.

"Understood, boss, I have finished the main work of the newspaper office in the morning. In the afternoon, I will discuss the preliminary plan for building the building with several senior officials."

Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently. Anyway, the money to build the staff building will depend on the newspaper's future profits.

You don't have to spend any money, and you can win people's hearts. If employees really buy the house in the employee building, they have to sign a contract that prohibits them from leaving for 10 years.

If you really want to leave your job, you have to make up for the price difference after the housing price rises.

After being busy at the newspaper office until about 11 o'clock, Chu Qianqian looked at his watch before getting up and leaving.

I went back to my office and took a look. Feifei was still napping, so I might as well ignore her.

After leaving the building, I drove towards Youguchi.

When we arrived at the restaurant, as soon as we entered the private room, we immediately saw Lin Jiu who looked exactly like Uncle Ying.

When San Jiangshui, Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao, Luo Tuo and more than a dozen people saw the boss coming, they all stood up to greet him.

After the meal, Chu Qianqian, who had chatted a lot with Lin Jiu, couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although Lin Jiu agreed to do the errands, he had hinted several times that those Taoist priests and priests were businessmen who created a bustling atmosphere during weddings and weddings.

Of course Chu Xiangqian could hear this hint. When he was almost done eating, he pointed at Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao and said, "The company's future plan is to continue its efforts and make Aaron the protagonist again and make a Drunken Master."

Guo Zhenhua was overjoyed. After Snake Fist was released, although a lot of the limelight was stolen by the supporting role of Chu Qianqian.

But he is the boss, and his real skills are indeed much better than his own.

And he's even more handsome than me.

Guo Zhenhua doesn't know how to be jealous even if he wants to, but after becoming famous, his mentality is a little different.

I used to think that as long as there was a scene being filmed, it didn't matter whether he was the protagonist or not.I even feel that the pressure of being the protagonist is too much, so I might as well be a supporting role.

But after becoming famous, the feeling of being praised made him want to continue to be famous.

This was one of the reasons why Guo Zhenhua didn't hesitate much when he asked He Guanchang to be his godfather a few days ago.

He Guanchang also revealed that in the company's next plan, the boss has confirmed that he will be the protagonist and continue to make movies.

Now that the boss had brought it up personally, Guo Zhenhua hurriedly stood up, took the bottle and poured wine, and even Jingchu stepped forward to drink three large glasses of wine.

Chu Xiangqian was never timid when it came to drinking. After drinking with Guo Zhenhua, he said with a smile, "Aaron, I already have the script. We will go to the company to discuss it carefully in the afternoon."

Guo Zhenhua couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled.

When other people saw this, of course there were some who were jealous, but there were really no ones who hated Guo Zhenhua.

No one in this group is handsome. A few of them said that there is no problem with crooked melons and cracked dates. On the contrary, they made Guo Zhenhua look a little handsome.

Chu Xiangqian then pointed at Hong Sanbao and said, "Sanbao, you continue to be the action director of Aaron's movie, and this time you bring Ah Jiu and Luo Tuo.

Although their kung fu is just that in my eyes, the company can't just wait for Aaron's movies in the future.

After all, wherever the theater chain is, it will take at least 12, or even 18, or 20 movies a year to prevent the theater chain from running out of movies.

Cultivating manpower early can also be considered as brainstorming, and maybe we can design better fighting plots and jokes. "

Naturally, Hong Sanbao had no problems at all, except that the salary given by Chu Xiangqian was relatively high.

In terms of seniority, he still has to call Chu Qianqian Senior Uncle.

In this era, Chu Xiangqian is really capable of beating him up if he finds any faults in him.

And after the fight, outsiders would give a thumbs up and praise Chu Qiang for a job well done.

Lin Jiu and Luo Tuo were overjoyed. One of them was an actor, and the other earned a living on the Diamond Head set.

Over time, Luo Tuo himself actually had the idea of ​​becoming an actor.

It's just that no other film company was willing to hire a club member like him to film a movie.

The two of them stood up hurriedly, imitating Guo Zhenhua, and toasted Chu Qianqian three times.

Chu Xiangqian did not accompany him to drink three drinks this time, but only drank one.

Lin Jiu and Luo Tuo didn't think this was a problem at all, but Guo Zhenhua was secretly happy. It seemed that he still had a lot of weight in the boss's heart.

But Chu Qianqian continued to say, "Sambo, your uncle Master Hong and I are close friends. You should do well in Aaron's role.

After the filming is completed and I see the finished film, if it satisfies me, I, as an uncle, will support you as the protagonist.And I’ve already thought about the script. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, looking at Hong Sanbao's expression, it was one of envy and jealousy.

But thinking about the relationship between his uncle and Chu Xiangqian, I could only sigh in my heart, secretly saying that comparing people to others is really annoying.

Chu Xiangqian naturally understood everyone's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, maybe some of you can be the protagonist in the future.

Even if you are not chosen, you can still play a supporting role or be a dragon and tiger martial artist. My boss guarantees that everyone will have work every month and their wages will never be in arrears. "

A dozen people whose names Chu Xiangqian didn't even know couldn't help laughing.

Everyone still has great trust in Chu Xiangqian's character. Besides, the boss opened seven movie theaters.

Millions have been spent, so there is no reason to owe everyone the salary of 200 yuan.

And this salary is not only enough for them to support themselves, but also to subsidize their families.

If the crew starts filming, lunch can be served on the crew, and one meat, one vegetarian, and a box of rice, so you can eat two meals if you are not full, which is considered the only one for each company.

Everyone stood up and shouted to Chu Qianqian, "Thank you, boss, for taking care of me."

Showing his backbone, Chu Xiangqian ordered Sanjiang Shui to have people clear out all the shanty towns near the weather station as soon as possible.Then I drove to the film company first.As for Guo Zhenhua and the others, they naturally made their own rickshaws back to the company.

Fortunately, the film company is in Kowloon, so it's not far from having a backbone.

When he arrived at the office rented by the company, Chu Xiangqian felt that the place was a bit small as soon as he got off the car.

You still have to find an independent building for the secret passage.

Now that there is only one crew, the company is already small.If there are two or three crews working for the company in the future, so many people are crowded together when there are no movies to shoot. If outsiders find out, they will definitely say that the boss is stingy.

When I entered the company, I wanted to ask someone to call Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang over.

Unexpectedly, before he entered his office, he saw Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang accompanying Lu Guohua from Cathay Cinema and a middle-aged man walking out of Wrinkle Huai's general manager's office.

When the four of them saw Chu Qianqian, they hurriedly said hello.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian learn that this middle-aged man with a kind face was a famous theater troupe owner in Nanyang.

I came here this time because He Guanchang mentioned to Lu Guohua last time that the theater planned to hire someone to move the opera on the stage to the big screen.

Lu Guohua kept it in mind and mentioned it to the local theater owner while he was in Nanyang dealing with the release of Snakehead.

It was only after Snake-Shaped Trickster was a box office hit in Nanyang that Boss Liu approached Lu Guohua.

One of them is thinking about the next movie after the movie is released steadily, and the other is following Lu Guohua to Hong Kong Island to talk about filming an opera movie.

After Chu Xiangqian heard this, he was naturally very polite to Boss Liu.

But in his heart, he would rather invite theater troupes from Nanguang or other provinces to film in Hong Kong.

However, Boss Liu was also Chinese after all, and he came to him proactively. So after a few discussions with Wrigley Huai and He Guanchang, Chu Xiangqian listened to their suggestions and made his first opera film collaboration with Boss Liu.

After all, this can be regarded as giving Lu Guohua face.

After seeing off the cheerful Boss Liu, Chu Xiangqian took Lu Guohua, Wrinkle Huai, and He Guanchang into his office.

The first thing he said after sitting down was to say to Wrinkle Huai, "Ah Huai, remember to find a better building or a larger independent building. I plan to buy it and use it as the office space of the film company.

In the future, as the company has more crews, it will need more offices.

And if you always rent an office, you might as well pay it once, so as not to have to pay it to others every year, which makes you feel unhappy just thinking about it. "

Wrinkle Huai naturally has no objection. It is a good thing that the boss has money, and it is also a good thing that the company looks more impressive.

Just as he was thinking about where to find a suitable building, Lu Guohua's heart moved.

"Chu Sheng, I do know a place that should be suitable for your company to use as an office."

Chu Qianqian looked at him in surprise, feeling vaguely that Lu Guohua came here today, not only to tell him about the screening of Snake in the Cathay Cinema in Nanyang, but also to come to him for help.

"I naturally trust Lu Sheng's vision."

Lu Guohua felt relieved and said with a smile, "I have a friend from Nanyang who came to Hong Kong Island for development. He has a two-story property in the Baofeng Building next to Kowloon Park three blocks north of the Peninsula Hotel.

It has a total area of ​​1100 square meters, and is on the 8th and 9th floors.

I just ran into some trouble recently and was in a hurry to get money. The original price was about 160 million, but now I can buy it for about 150 million.

If Chu Sheng is free, why don't we go take a look now? "

Chu Xiangqian immediately became interested. Thinking about it carefully, although the Kowloon Park area is not prosperous now, it has great potential for appreciation in the future.

Moreover, the current cheap housing prices in Tsim Sha Tsui mean that the future growth will be higher.

Wrinkle Huai also knew about that building, and after thinking about it, he asked Lu Guohua, "Sheng Lu, is it the building that was just built at the end of last year and I heard that there were incidents?"

Lu Guohua's expression was a little stiff, but this is a fact. Just ask anyone and you will know.

He sighed and said, "That building has 10 floors in total, and it covers an area of ​​550 square meters. It's not that big, so we built 10 floors.

Although the location is not prosperous, for your company, a strong business atmosphere may not be a good thing.

And because it's not in a business district, the entire building is only worth 800 million. "

Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang couldn't help but hesitate.

No matter now or in the future, Hong Kong people have always believed in those mythical things.

The crew has to worship gods when starting up the film, and a mage is asked to calculate the auspicious time and day for the opening of the building.

Since something happened to this building, let alone someone buying the whole building, even those who are interested in renting the building will lose half of the number of tenants.

But Chu Xiangqian felt in his heart that if he could, he could just buy this building directly.

Of course, if you pay 800 million in one lump sum, you can actually take out the money, but if you really take it out, you won't have much cash in your hand.

It is better to find a bank loan.

And the price-performance ratio is actually not very high. For 800 million, you can buy 200 front-end houses in an area like Causeway Bay that has not really formed a commercial environment.

But things are not that simple. Chu Xiangqian is willing to increase the price by 5% to buy 200 stores, but there are not many who can actually buy them.

To take a step back, once you do this, the price of those front houses will double the next day.

So when he comes across a good property, Chu Xiangqian always buys it as long as it suits him.

Moreover, the 150th and 1100th floors with two floors and 8 square meters of 9 million are used as offices of film companies. When you think about it, it’s okay.

Wrinkles thought about it for a while, but felt it was not worthwhile.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian was silent, he hurriedly persuaded, "Boss, Central is prosperous enough. But a three-story building over there covering an area of ​​​​[-] square meters only costs a million."

The total area of ​​the three floors is 900 square meters, and the location is better than that in Tsim Sha Tsui.

And 150 million is enough to buy a flat and a half in Central, or a small building with an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. "

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he came back to his senses. This was just like the magic city in the 90s. The house price in Puxi was four to five thousand.

But across the river in Pudong, no one wants 7 or 800 square meters.

Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are only separated by Victoria Bay, but a house in Tsim Sha Tsui now costs thousands.Opposite in Central and Wan Chai, a set costs tens of thousands.

Rich people basically prefer to live in Hong Kong instead of Kowloon.

Chu Xiangqian cursed to himself secretly. With 800 million, he could buy seven or eight small townhouses in Central.

You have half the street to yourself, why do you have to stare at a building?
Given the choice between high-rise buildings and more land, Chu Xiangqian just chose more land.Not how high the building is.

He looked at Lu Guohua and said, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, A Huai is right. I would rather buy a townhouse in Central than the return on investment of that building."

Lu Guohua sighed inwardly, remained silent for a few seconds, looked at Chu Qianqian and said, "Sheng Chu, can I make a call?"
