Chapter 342: The circle of friends is the most reliable

It is not in the eight major cuisines, it integrates the essence of "Huaiyang", "Su cuisine" and "Zhejiang cuisine" in the eight major cuisines, and it is often shown with "thick oil red sauce".

It is the taste of the NO.1 home in the hearts of the people of Modu, this dish.

Crystal shrimp, crab roe tofu, fried eel, pine nut cinnamon fish...

The exquisite delicacies made Arthur sigh that the chefs of the Dragon and Phoenix Hall brought the red, sweet, white and fresh dishes to the fullest.

After tasting the perfect food, Arthur hugged Jiang Lai's slender waist and followed Zheng Bao to the Jasmine Lounge on the first floor, where elegant and beautiful slow songs were played, especially the smiles on the faces of the service staff, which left a deep impression on Arthur, warm and sincere.

White dresses, red bow ties, six energetic old musicians sit on a small stage, gray hair, no gorgeous acting skills, but the music performed is so beautiful.

The three Arthurs ordered cocktails, sat on their chairs and listened quietly to familiar music, and could really feel the historical vicissitudes of the magic capital from their music. Perhaps these classic sounds are the different knots they have for the city of the magic capital, and they are using music to tell the story of the old magic capital to more people.

After the baptism of the wine table culture, Arthur and the little leopard are more familiar and casual, the key is that there is no language barrier between the two sides, and everyone is young, so it will naturally be easy to get along.

"Sir, I heard Jiang Lai say, did you come to the Celestial Empire this time to invest in the cinema chain?" The little leopard called out the nickname that Arthur had just given Arthur, and Arthur readily accepted this nickname.

He finally knew why the little leopard was able to mix up later, I have to say, it is indeed a long-sleeved dancer, the key is that he has a rare affinity, which is not annoying.

"Hehe, isn't this a bit of spare money, I heard Lai say that the film market in the Celestial Empire began to rise, so I had the idea of investing in theaters in the Celestial Empire, but I heard her say that you once said that a friend of yours is a theater, but it doesn't make money, right?"

"Well, that's true. The little leopard pursed his lips, nodded and said, "After Jiang Lai and I mentioned it, I specially learned about and collected some information about the Celestial Dynasty Cinema, can I hear it?"

"Of course, thank you. Arthur smiled and picked up his cocktail and touched it.

"You're welcome, it's not a secret. The little leopard took a sip of wine and said with a happy smile, he knew that the other party knew Qing.

"02 years of cinema line system reform, the film market box office from 920 million yuan in 2003 to 10 billion yuan in 2009, more than 10 times the rapid growth, the huge potential of the Celestial Empire film and the influence that needs to explode is really eye-catching.

In the past 2009, there were 14 cinemas with an annual box office of more than 100 million yuan, including 5 cinemas with a box office of more than 600 million yuan, and Wanda Cinema ranked first with a box office of 830 million yuan.

The three forces supporting the Celestial Empire's cinema market are private cinema lines, GUO cinema lines and cinema investment management companies.

At present, there are three private cinema chains, and there are three cinema chains with the most model model. Wanda Cinema Line started in 05, Dadi Cinema Line started in 06, and Times Golden Cinema Line was approved in 09, but I heard that they are pulling theaters, and more than 60 theaters have joined.

The rest of the theaters cannot be underestimated. One is Jinyi Cinema Line, which has undergone many capital restructurings, and according to the information I have gotten, it is one of the most growing Xing cinema lines in the industry. In Hengdian Cinema, it has been in the market for two years and has taken the express train of the development of the film industry. The box office also exceeded 100 million yuan, ranking 12th. It's a medium-sized theater.

Then there is a cinema line in guo, which are all leaders, and in the end there is a cinema investment company, two of Herijiang's, one is Zhong Film, especially Zhong Film, not a cinema but better than a cinema, the industry's leader, what does it mean to be a leading enterprise? It is to have enough control and influence in resources, and have a strong voice in the market.

In 07, it joined forces with Times Jindian to acquire four theaters of Warner, and began to plan to build a complete industrial chain. . . ”

Arthur heard it very seriously, to be honest, he didn't expect the little leopard to say it in such detail, and summarized the existing theater situation in the entire Celestial Empire, so he picked up the wine glass and touched the little leopard's wine glass again.

"Thank you, what you said, it's really useful!"

Hearing Arthur's heartfelt thanks, as well as Jiang Lai's grateful and happy appearance on the side, the little leopard smiled more and more brightly, and after drinking all the wine in the cup, he smiled freely: "It's good to be useful, don't thank you for coming and going, we are friends." ”

"Hehe, that's good, then thank you, if I really invest in theaters in the Celestial Empire in the end, the movies you participate in in the future will give you the best time to schedule films!" Arthur teased with a smile.

"Haha, that relationship is good, then I'm just waiting for that day to come. The little leopard smiled happily, "However, according to my understanding, although the theater chain is thriving, most theaters are in a worrying state, and the theater market as a whole is facing severe challenges."

According to the current internal regulations told me by my friend, 5 percent of the box office revenue of a film must be paid as a special fund for film development, and there is also a business tax of 3.3 percent, and the remaining box office theaters and theater chains account for 57 percent, and the film company and the distributor jointly receive 43 percent.

For example, taking the box office of 10 million movies as an example, the special fund is 500,000, the business tax is 330,000, the theater chain and theater side are 5.23 million, and the film company and distributor are 3.94 million. Among them, because of the implementation of the cinema system, the cinema chain will receive about 4% of the total box office.

In the end, after deducting miscellaneous things, it is very good for the theater to get 10% from the total box office of the movie of 10 million, that is, 1 million. My friend's theater is ranked 35th in the country, which is already very good, but he doesn't dare to say whether it makes money or not. Even if the average daily box office can reach a perfect 160,000, 5 million per month, and the annual box office is 60 million, its rent and property expenses are 12 million a year, more than 20 percent, and the operating costs are too high. ”

Hearing what the little leopard said, Arthur was very moved, this is the really useful data and information, to be honest, for the cinema line, Arthur really knows a little about it, but many people know that "the theater gets half of the box office", and they feel that the theater is very profitable, so they will think of taking a share of the Celestial Empire film market that will be very prosperous in the future.

It seems that the idea of building a movie theater chain by yourself is about to be abandoned, and you can only find a big fish from this big pond to invest!

It must be said that the water is big, the fish is big, and the fish can survive to the end!

"I really want to say thank you solemnly. Arthur said to the little leopard with a smile.

The little leopard naturally knew that what he said was very useful, but he actually watched people cook, and he only listened to Jiang Lai's identity about Arthur's identity before, and there was no way to tell whether it was true or false, after all, there were really a lot of foreign liars.

However, through contact, after knowing Arthur's name, he used the time to go to the toilet to search on the Internet, and he really found a piece of news, that is, the news brief that Quanta Group became a shareholder of the Coastal Power Plant, which mentioned Arthur.

It's not that the little leopard doesn't believe in Jiang Lai, but he doesn't believe in the IQ of a woman in love, after confirming Arthur's identity, he became more enthusiastic, one more friend and one more way, not to mention the super big money owner like Arthur Boleyn, this is really a big man who usually has no chance to get acquainted, how could he miss the opportunity to establish friendship with each other.

Since confirming Arthur's identity, the little leopard did not expect to establish a friendship with Arthur through Jiang Lai's relationship, because in his opinion, this kind of relationship is the most unreliable, and he can only become friends with Arthur through Jiang Lai today, so in the future, he may also break off his friendship with Arthur because the relationship between the two ends.

Therefore, the relationship is still the most reliable built by one's own hands!
