Chapter 142 - Online Booking (Part 3)
Kushner's assets are only $2 billion, many of which are real estate, which is simply not enough to develop a major studio program in the United States. He wooed Henry, apparently trying to use Henry's money and fame to develop the studio project. If Henry agrees to cooperate with him, then Kushner can even play the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves and go to the bank to take out a loan in the name of Henry, so that he can also borrow a large amount of money, which can be used to run the studio project!!
Henry actually has a global land company under his name, and Kushner doesn't need to be involved in developing the studio at all. It's just that, looking at Kushner's meaning, if he hadn't cooperated with him, the Chinese theater probably wouldn't have been sold to him! Henry was a little hesitant in his heart.
In addition, the Chinese Theater has a long history of "leaving a mark" and has become the supreme glory pursued by Hollywood, even the United States, and all those who are engaged in film art in the world!
Even if Henry had the money, even if he could build a larger, more luxurious, and more advanced theater, he was probably not as good as the Chinese theater in terms of influence!
"What do you think, Mr. Williams?" Kushner asked with a smile.
Henry looked at him with interest and said, "Tell me, how to cooperate......
Kushner smiled, took out a document, handed it to Henry, and then said: "The specific cooperation method, I have written it in the document, you can take a look!"
Henry nodded, took the file, and flipped through it.
Henry was amazed when he looked at it! How could Kushner come up with such a way of cooperation?!!
Kushner looked at Henry with a very calm expression.
"Mr. Williams, what do you think of this kind of cooperation?" Kushner said, a confident smile on his face!
Henry placed the papers on the table and asked, "Are you sure you want to work together like this?"
"That's right!!"
"Well," Henry nodded, "if that's the case, I'll agree to cooperate!!"
Kushner's approach to cooperation. It was indeed beyond Henry's expectations. Originally, Henry thought that he wanted to participate in the entire studio plan, but in fact, he was not. He just wanted to use the studio to attract popularity, building a large number of apartments and commercial buildings around the studio.
There are a lot of people living near the studio. It can also feed back to the cinema, thereby promoting the development of the cinema! The two sides complement each other, and then form a benign ecological chain!
In this case, Henry can indeed be considered.
Henry doesn't know how to do real estate, he can call the wind and rain on the Internet. However, there is no guarantee that the developed cinema or the surrounding area will definitely catch fire, so risk avoidance is something that must be considered!
One is a cinema and the other is a peripheral, which can reduce the risk.
So, Henry agreed to Kushner's plan of cooperation.
It's okay to monopolize in the field you're good at, but you have to know how to divide the cake in the field you're not good at.
"Mr. Williams, I hope we !!have a good time working together," Kushner said with a smile and as he held out his hand.
Henry shook his hand. Smiled: "Happy cooperation!!"
Of course, now it is only a cooperation intention between each other, and how to cooperate requires detailed discussions among the employees below.
Kushner was also decisive, and sold the Chinese theater to IMDB for $100 million on the same day! He was not at all worried that Henry would backtrack......
The next day, Henry came to the Chinese Theatre, where many handprints were printed on the floor outside. Footprints, as well as signatures, many tourists take pictures with cameras. Henry said to Marcy Filemon next to him, "Marcy Filimon, why don't you also print a handprint." ”
"Come on. I'm not a movie actor!"
Henry laughed, thinking to himself that in the future, the Chinese theater will raise the requirements for "leaving a seal", and no one else can leave a mark on it. For those who want to spend money to leave a mark, they are always told to get out!! Chinese theater is a palace of art, high-end and high-grade. How can you be corrupted by money?
If the Chinese theater could spend money to leave its mark, it would definitely decay, gradually turning from a high goddess to a bus...... will lose its original glory and status!
When Henry walked to the Chinese Theater, a group of high-level executives of the theater stood neatly at the door waiting for the arrival of the new owner!
"Mr. Williams is welcome to inspect the !!"
"Hmm!" Henry nodded, looking at a middle-aged man standing at the front, "...... you?"
"My name is Jay Byron, Mr. Williams, and I am currently the director of the Chinese Theatre!"
"Well," Henry replied, indicating that he knew his identity, and then said, "Although IMDB has acquired the Chinese Theater, the management of the theater remains the same!"
"Mr. Williams, rest assured, I will work hard to run the Chinese Theater!!" Jay Byron exclaimed.
Henry nodded, motioning for Jay Byron to lead the way.
Under the leadership of Jay Byron, Henry walked around the Chinese Theater, which felt quite good, with an open and atmospheric venue, a unique combination of Chinese and Western architecture, and a unique style. In order to experience the movie-watching effect, Henry also deliberately watched a movie here for a while. At half past two in the afternoon, Henry held a press conference at the Chinese Theater.
At the press conference, Henry announced: "Friends from major media reporters, when you see me appear in the Chinese theater, you must have guessed the content of the press conference! That's right, IMDB has acquired the Chinese theater, and from now on, the largest and most famous theater in the United States is the industry under the IMDB website!! In the end, even Henry himself felt a little excited.
At this moment, there were bursts of applause like a tide from the audience, wave after wave!
Henry slowly raised a hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Many people have been surprised why the IMDB website wants to buy theaters and theater companies! Henry paused, aroused people's curiosity, and then said, "The essence of IMDB is a website, so if we acquire the cinema chain, it will definitely be combined with the website to form some kind of connection!"
"Everyone must have the painful experience of queuing up to buy tickets in the cinema, especially some popular movies, if you want to buy a ticket, you have to queue for a long time! There is no need to buy tickets in person, just book them online on the IMDB website! When you get to the theater, just enter this set of numbers and you can go in and watch a movie!"
"If you can't remember the numbers, that's okay, we will have computers with internet access in our theaters, and users can log in to their email to check the !!"
As soon as Henry finished speaking, everyone was amazed!
I see, it's so hanging, it's too advanced and convenient.
For a while, there was a lot of excitement and discussion.
Henry took advantage of everyone's shock and quickly left the press conference!
When the reporters saw that Henry was actually gone again, they were annoyed before they had time to ask questions!
Although every time Henry appears at the press conference, he will shock and surprise everyone, this time is no exception!
However, to the frustration of the reporters, after Henry spoke, he rarely gave people a chance to ask questions, and most of the time he left the press conference directly. Of course, this time is no exception!
