Chapter 143: The Tenth Largest Island in the United States (Fourth Update)
Next.
According to yesterday's press conference, the IMDB website has developed an online booking system, which closely combines the cinema chain with the Internet, and users can book tickets and watch movies on the Internet, and no longer need to queue up to buy tickets! This kind of online ticket booking function is not only convenient and practical, but also caters to the preferences of young people today, which is very fashionable and interesting! The IMDB website has developed into a comprehensive website that combines the film portal and the film e-commerce, and now through the online booking system, the IMDB website will attract more netizens who like movies to become their users, which will undoubtedly play a very huge role in consolidating and developing the market!!!
The New York Times' front page: "IMDB makes a remarkable move to acquire the largest theater in the United States, the Chinese Theater, and shockingly launches an online booking system!!"
“……”
The content of yesterday's press conference spread like a rocket across the United States. For a while, Hollywood caused a huge sensation, and the online booking system shocked the entire industry!!
On the Internet, the IMDB website traffic has increased dramatically!!
ICQ and Isearch have been talking about the online booking system on the IMDB website.
The IMDB website has received a lot of inquiries from movie theater lines and want to join the online booking system!
AMC Cinemas saw that IMDB was so awesome that it not only acquired Chinese theaters, but also launched an online booking system, breaking the traditional business model of theaters. This change may bring a new atmosphere to the sluggish cinema market!! so joining the online booking system on the IMDB website may be an opportunity to turn a profit......
With its online booking system, IMDB will have a stronger influence and voice in the industry!
Faced with this situation, the board of directors of AMC Cinemas wavered for a while!
And on the stock market, the stock price of the IMDB website has risen wildly. Almost everyone was stunned, up 34% on the day. IMDB's market capitalization has soared to more than $25 billion!! Harvard University professor believes: "Once the IMDB website is successfully deployed in theaters, its influence will far exceed that of any Hollywood film company, and its status will be transcendent!!
Senior analyst of the United States: "Today. The market capitalization of IMDB is only 25 billion, and tomorrow, it will be 100 billion market capitalization!! "Of course, this "tomorrow" refers to the future.
San Jose, California, Silicon Valley. IMDB Website Headquarters.
"Before our online booking system is officially launched, we must take down AMC Cinemas!" Henry said loudly as he summoned IMDB's top brass.
"Yes!!" said the crowd with excitement on their faces. Before, they were still doubting Henry's decision-making, but now they see the stock price of the IMDB website soaring, and they admire Henry one by one, almost to the point of obeying his words. And there is a saying that has begun to circulate within the company, "We ******** all the decisions made by Mr. Williams, and we unswervingly follow the instructions given by Mr. Williams!!"
Henry continued: "Also, for all the cinema companies that want to join the online booking system. We all welcome that. However, ask them to sign an exclusive agreement, online booking can only be done on our IMDB website, if you join other online booking systems, you will be in breach of contract, and the liquidated damages will be set a little higher for me!!"
"Yes!"
"And ...... Tell them that to join the online booking system, you need to renovate the theater, buy a computer, and turn on the Internet. We will take care of all the network equipment and so on, and they just have to pay for it!!"
Marcy Filly looked embarrassed: "This ...... Some cinema companies or independent theaters may not agree. ”
"How can you disagree?! We have unified procurement and have a greater right to speak. The price is not cheaper than them buying them one by one??? I am doing this for their good, how can I disagree?"
"Hmm!!" Marcy Philemon nodded.
Henry left IMDB and subsequently went to Galaxy Pictures. And at this moment, Bobby Robin, the CEO of Galaxy Films, is already excited.
Newspapers, television, and the Internet are full of news from the IMDB website, and Galaxy Films and the IMDB website are all under the same owner. Will the distribution of movies still be a problem in the future? Bobby Robin can't help but fantasize that Galaxy Pictures movies can be shown on tens of thousands of digital screens across the United States at the same time, and oh, the box office can soar......
When Henry came and walked into Bobby Robin's office, Bobby Robin was still smirking with his mouth open, not noticing that anyone was coming in.
Henry looked at Bobby Robin in a daze, a little speechless. Psychopathic?
Knock! knock!!
Henry smacked the table a few times!
"Ahem...... Bobby Robin was startled, and looked up, hey, why did the chairman actually come to him?!
"Hello, Chairman !!"
"What are you doing in a daze? Have you done what I told you to do?!"
"The expatriate team has found the right target. The island is named Baranov Island, located in Alaska, covering an area of 4,162 square kilometers, and is the tenth island in the United States! At present, the total population of the island is less than 2,000 people! These are the views of the island......" said Bobby Robin, taking out a stack of photographs from a drawer and placing them in front of Henry.
"The 10th largest island in the United States?!Looks good, it can be ranked!Hmm...... The scenery is also good, clean sea, lush forests, open grasslands......" Henry muttered as he looked at the photo.
Bobby Robin looked at Henry, quietly waiting for his opinion, but suddenly heard Henry suddenly say, "Does the U.S. government sell it?!"
"Ahem...... Bobby Robin choked suddenly, "Chairman, can the U.S. government sell such a big island?"
"Damn, you can't sell it, so what's the use of you talking so much!" Henry was a little speechless.
"Although we can't sell it, we can contract the island and develop on it!! and the local government promises that if we invest there and drive the local economy, it will give us very favorable conditions!!
Henry thought about it, and then asked, "What is the contract fee and the deadline?"
"$100 million, twenty years! When the deadline is up, we have the right of first refusal!" replied Bobby Robin.
Henry pondered for a moment, the contract fee and the development fee, the sum should be less than a billion dollars, and twenty years is enough to earn it back! Can you do it!!
