Chapter 575: Too Ahead of the Curve

On the first weekend of September, the imperial capital, Molong Media Imperial Capital Company.

Today's meeting, if known, will most likely detonate the entire film and television media industry.

But it is clear that neither of the two parties involved in the meeting wants anyone other than the other to know about today's meeting.

Therefore, as a very private meeting, today's meeting is extremely confidential.

The five people attending the meeting were Li Mo, Zong Shuai, Zhong Lifang, and Fu Ruoqing...... and Qin Hong.

Needless to say, the first four are even within Molong Media, they are also at the top of the pyramid......

And Qin Hong, he is the one who owns the Xingmei Cinema Line.

To be precise, Qin Hong's identity is the chairman of Xingmei Media Group.

Qin Hong, who was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, looked polite and bookish.

As a guest, he always has a warm smile on his face and looks very sincere.

Not only does his expression make people feel like a spring breeze, but the first sentence he says, Qin Hong also makes people feel very comfortable.

"Mr. Li is really young and promising, he has not missed a single step since his debut, even if this record cannot be said to be unprecedented, at least it can be said to be unprecedented......"

To be honest, Li Mo has heard words with similar meanings at least ten times, but there has never been a time when Qin Hong has said it so convincingly.

The scheduling of facial expressions, the organization of language, and the modulation of voices are not top-notch, but when combined, they make people feel believable......

No matter what the position of the two sides is now, and no matter how tragic the two sides will be because of the business negotiations in the future, but at least for now, Qin Hong's performance has made a good start to this contact between the two sides at the president level.

Since the other party showed kindness, it at least means that Li Mo will not be like a hedgehog when everyone talks, so he also responded to the other party with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Qin for the compliment, with my age, there are still many things to learn from the seniors in the circle, but Xingmei shouldn't be bad, right." ”

"As a senior in the cinema industry in the industry, there are some things that we all know. ”

"Hehe, TOEFL, TOEFL..."

Qin Hong continued to smile......

But the smile on his face was noticeably stiffer.

It is true that, as Li Mo said, Xingmei, as a cinema company, is naturally in an absolutely dominant position in the industrial chain of the entire industry, but how this dominant position was obtained is only clear to Qin Hong himself.

As one of the top three cinema companies in China, Xingmei has taken a completely different path from other companies from the beginning.

While other cinema companies have focused their development on the first-tier cities in China, including the so-called 'Eight Box Offices', Xingmei has found its own unique way and only built its own direct cinemas in the 'Eight Box Offices', and the company's goal of expanding its power is placed in the second-tier and even third-tier cities in China. to the point of a company of the same size.

The reason for this lies in the fact that Xingmei attaches great importance to the development of second- and third-tier cities.

Due to the limited consumption capacity of the second- and third-tier cities in the Celestial Empire, both the audience and the surrounding consumption have not yet formed a scale and market, which has led to the fact that the theaters under Xingmei, which currently occupy the majority of the number of theaters, have not been able to increase their revenue......

If only that's it.

Although the revenue is a little low, if the labor, rent and other related costs are not high, even if Xingmei Cinema Line cannot achieve profitability, it is a good situation to guarantee that it will not win or lose.

Since 2012, the land prices and labor costs in the second- and third-tier cities in China have gone crazy, running up slowly, and the situation that was originally only a small loss suddenly became a moderate loss, and then a moderate loss suddenly became a serious loss......

Although Qin Hong keenly feels that the domestic film and television media industry is very likely to usher in an explosive growth in the next two years, and he also has the heart to support it until that time, but as a joint-stock group company listed in Xiangjiang, Xingmei Media Group is no longer the simple structure when he and several brothers fought the world together.

As the chairman, Qin Hong wanted to use the funds of the group's head office to renew the life of the cinema company, but the other shareholders began to be unhappy.

This is really not someone else targeting Qin Hong.

It's really Xingmei Media that the last two years have been too miserable.

I don't know if it's a water reversal, but in the past two years, all the movies invested by Xingmei Media have almost all ended.

"Favorite" brought together Guo Fucheng, Zhang Ziyi, and the director was Gu Changwei, but the final box office did not exceed 60 million;

"Martial Arts", which gathered a number of old, middle-aged and young stars including Sadazidan, Jin Chengwu, Tang Wei, etc., turned out to be one of the few bad films in Chen Kexin's directorial career;

"The King's Feast", "Drops of Blood" ......

At that time, when looking at the information collected by Molong Media, Li Mo simply doubted whether Qin Hong had crossed over from a certain 'inner world' that was the opposite of the current time and space.

When he chooses films to invest in, he almost perfectly avoids all the successful films, and then ...... resolutely invested the money in his hand into a bunch of bad movies......

If this is also an ability, it can probably be regarded as the world's most defeated 'money ability'.

In the case of one after another Qiangang failed to invest in films, how could the shareholders who originally came for equity income still let Qin Hong continue to be so 'arbitrary'?

Since there is no guarantee that film investment will be successful, let's start from the place where you can effectively stop losses.

In this case, Xingmei Cinema Line, which is in a serious state of loss, has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of shareholders.

…… Especially when this 'thorn in the eye' still needs to continue to pay for it......

As a result, under the attention of countless shareholders and the promotion of the board of directors, the top three domestic star art cinema lines have become assets for sale.

Even if he complied with the resolution of the board of directors and released the news that Xingmei Cinema was going to be sold, Qin Hong was still under a lot of pressure.

It is true that he is the chairman of Xingmei Media Group, but everyone knows that the chairman of this kind of listed company does not necessarily have an absolute controlling stake in the company in many cases, and as long as the board of directors forms a resolution, he can change to a more obedient person to sit in that position every minute.

So there are actually two problems that Qin Hong is facing now.

First of all, he wants to find a home for Xingmei Cinema in the shortest possible time, and let Xingmei Media stop the bleeding as soon as possible;

Secondly, although Xingmei Cinema Line has suffered serious losses, it is still the top three cinema chains in China after all, not to mention anything else, the name is at least big enough, so this transfer fee must not be too cheap, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss to Mrs. and a soldier?

This can make Qin Hong miserable.

Wanda and Tianying have talked to him before, but they only hope to take over the excellent assets in the Xingmei Cinema Line, that is, the kind that can achieve flat revenue...... Even a theater with a slight surplus......

As for the loss-making ones?

It's nice today, hahaha......

Damn, anyone with a little brain can't accept this kind of plan.

Fortunately, just when Qin Hong felt that he was about to be forced to go to Victoria Harbor to jump into the sea, Molong Media appeared.

After a confrontation between the two sides in the early stage, today it is finally time for the king to be the king!
