Chapter 821: Wanhe and Clyde Cinemas
As Sha Liang said slowly, Lin Yi and his wife finally understood the 'dilemma' in Sha Liang's mouth.
To put it simply, although the domestic real estate industry is still thriving, the development of their Wanhe real estate has also encountered a bottleneck, so they began to seek breakthroughs in other industries.
Then, they set their sights on the entertainment industry.
However, they did not choose to open an entertainment company, make movies, TV series and variety shows, but chose to start directly from the platform!
In fact, in China, their entertainment industry has already started.
For example, Wanhe Cinema Line has already spread to all developed cities in China, and Wanhe Cinema Line in second- and third-tier cities is also expanding......
However, Wanhe Real Estate is not a small household, their size is too large, which leads to their appetite will be very large, especially big!
They have a big appetite, but the domestic market alone naturally can't satisfy them, and isn't it popular to invest abroad in recent years? Wanhe Real Estate will naturally not lag behind.
So, Sha Liang, a person who studied in the United States, came to the United States to investigate, originally planning to replicate the success of Wanhe Cinema Line in China, but found that it did not work.
The policies are different, the ways of playing are also different, and the two completely different countries, it is obviously impossible to replicate the previous success.
There was no way, after thinking about it for a long time, Sha Liang finally came up with a way, and persuaded his father and a shareholder to choose 'local conditions' and use another way.
That's ...... Acquisition of a Mi Guo cinema chain!
It is too difficult to set up Wanhe Cinema Line by yourself, and it will be squeezed out? Wouldn't it be possible to directly acquire one! Although the investment will be larger, at least there will not be so many troubles and problems, and it will be much easier.
This is what Sha Liang and his father, as well as many major shareholders of Wanhe Real Estate, think.
In general, this is true.
For example, as Lin Yi knows, Tencent in his previous life was like this.
Don't panic, let's just throw money at it, buy 20% of Goudong's shares, and make money lying down, isn't he comfortable?
Sha Liang and they are this idea, but they don't just want a part of the shares, but control the sovereignty!
Therefore, after Sha Liang investigated for a long time, he finally set a goal.
Clyde Cinemas!
As one of the old cinema chains in the United States, it used to be almost a face-to-face existence with Fox Anus, but over the years, for various reasons, it has fallen into trouble and has the idea of selling.
In Sha Liang's opinion, this is a match made in heaven!
You want to sell, I want to buy, and you used to be quite awesome, and now although it is a little declining, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, isn't it?!
I'll buy it for you, and then operate it well, isn't that beautiful?
And you're facing a predicament right now, don't I just happen to lower the price?!
So, after months of negotiations, the acquisition worth 5 billion yuan finally came to an end.
Wanhe Properties became the helm of the Clyde Cinemas Line, holding more than 60% of the shares......
According to the general situation, since the Clyde Cinemas Line has been successfully won, the next step is to vigorously reform and develop, carry forward the Clyde Cinemas Line again, and make money lying down.
Sha Liang did exactly that.
Although he is a rich second generation, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very capable and ambitious, but it is a pity that he ...... Many times, it's not a question of whether the capacity is sufficient.
The theater chain has been reformed, various preferential activities have been done, and even people from those entertainment companies have been invited to eat, drink and consume......
As a result, instead of getting better, Clyde Cinemas is even more half-dead!
The main reason is...... Can't get a good video!
This made Sha Liang completely blind.
It stands to reason that as a theater chain, it should be those film and television companies that lick themselves, after all, if a movie wants to make money, it depends on the face of the theater.
And Clyde Cinemas has hundreds of branches in the United States, and the volume is completely sufficient.
But it turned out to be completely reversed.
Sha Liang almost knelt down and licked those entertainment companies, but he still couldn't get the scheduling rate of blockbusters......
There are a lot of ordinary low-budget movies or something, but not to mention the cheap ticket price of this thing, and the attendance rate is also very low, so it's a fart?!
An investment of 5 billion meters to serve these small-budget films?
Wanhe Real Estate and Sha Liang are naturally very dissatisfied.
Then, after a series of investigations, it turned out that the original helmsman of Clyde Cinema had been blacklisted by these entertainment companies because of various false data, money from cheating entertainment companies, etc.!
Although the big boss has changed now, those entertainment companies don't buy it.
Even in their view, the Orientals tend to be more treacherous, less trustworthy than the original ones, and therefore more repulsive......
......
"Do you think we are wronged?"
On the phone, Sha Liang smiled bitterly: "It's also my fault, before such a big acquisition, I didn't even inquire about this news......
"What about inquiry?"
Lin Yi retorted: "Even if you know, according to the ideas of ordinary people, you won't care, after all, the helmsman has changed, who would have thought that these Mi Guoyan would be so pitiful?"
"And they actually do it for a certain reason......
Originally, Lin Yi wanted to comfort him, but suddenly, his brows furrowed: "It always feels like something is wrong." ”
"It's true that the people of the United States reject us Orientals, but there is no reason not to eat the meat that is put in the mouth, and not to make money by putting it around. ”
"I'm thinking...... Are you being cheated on?!"
"Huh?"
Sha Liang was taken aback, and then reacted: "What do you mean ......?"
"If Clyde Cinemas continues to lose money like this, in less than a year at most, you will find a way to get rid of it, right?"
"That's for sure, in this situation, you can't get a movie license, so you can only make a move as soon as possible......"
"That's right! At that time, the price will not be 5 billion meters, and it may even be 1 billion or even 500 million ......."
"Damn!"
After being woken up by Lin Yi, Sha Liang exclaimed: "I'll just say that something feels wrong." ”
"Du Nima has changed the management team, and can you still worry that we will make false accounts, and even because of this worry, we will not even make any money at hand?
"Fuck it!"
Although Sha Liang is a little unprofessional, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield or something, it is also a door, yes, he did not reprimand the other party for how shameless, but said with a wry smile: "Now it seems that the situation is more serious than I thought before." ”
"Brother dei, we are lifelong friends, only you can help me in this matter, but I must not stand idly by. ”
Sha Liang was obviously very anxious and hoped that Lin Yi would help.
