After negotiating the terms with Sir Shao, the summer was exchanged for the right to use the four leading cinemas for two years at a price of 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

At the same time, the contract stipulates that after the expiration of the two-year contract, the summer has the right of first refusal.

After signing the contract and getting the right to use the four theaters, Summer is really ambitious and ambitious.

From today on, he has become one of the three major cinema operators in Hong Kong.

No, it should be one of the four major cinema companies.

There are still twelve theaters in Debao's hands, but most of their theaters are small and medium-sized theaters, and none of them have a leading theater as a flagship, so it looks a little shabby.

"I was robbed of the four leading theaters that originally belonged to me, I don't know how big the psychological shadow of Pan Disheng is?"

There are now more than 120 cinemas in Hong Kong, and there are more than 90 small and medium-sized cinemas. But there are less than 30 leading theaters, and now they have basically been allocated.

In the summer, with these four leading theaters as flagships, and a few small and medium-sized theaters can be recruited to form a theater chain smoothly. But Debao wants to find four leading theaters, but it is difficult.

……

Summer then leaked the news to Ming Pao.

"Shaw Brothers Longtou Theater changed its surname, and it was promoted to a theater tycoon in the summer!" "Ming Pao" published the news on the front page the next day.

"Xia, general manager of Commonwealth Pictures, signed a contract with Shao Yifu, president of Shaw Brothers Pictures, yesterday to lease the four leading cinemas of Wenhua, Jade, Gold, and Baosheng at a price of 35 million Hong Kong dollars per year, and successfully promoted to become one of the three major cinema operators in Hong Kong......

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked Hong Kong.

"He's so fast. How long has it been since he debuted, and he has been with us side by side?"

"I wondered where he got all that money. 35 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. He Guanchang wondered.

"I received rumors that it seemed that Li Guoxing of Meiya had bought the Nanyang distribution rights of "Mr. Zombie", "Detective Chocolate" and "Zombie Family" for nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Cai Changyong said.

"Okay, that's amazing! Use our money to shoot his own scene, not only empty gloves white wolf, but also borrow chickens to lay eggs. Be on a par with us. Amazing, amazing!" Zou Wenhuai said in surprise after hearing this.

The funds for the filming of "Zombie Family" and "Detective Chocolate" in the summer were crowdfunded from major film companies. With the help of this money, he not only made movies, but also used the sales fees of these two movies to rent four leading cinemas under Shaw Brothers.

This empty glove white wolf and borrowing chickens and eggs are so powerful that he became one of the four major cinema operators in Hong Kong almost without spending a penny of his own money, and he has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with them. And this qualification. It's still given by these people, it's really ironic to think about it.

"This stinky boy is simply an immature wolf cub, I have already seen his wolf ambition!" He Guanchang slapped the table and scolded when he heard this.

The so-called peers are like enemy countries. Since he has become a cinema chain business in the summer, he will inevitably compete with them in the future, which is really hateful.

"Okay, what's there to be angry about, be personable. Zou Wenhuai waved his hand. "Even if he doesn't rent those theaters, someone else will rent them. What's the use of you blaming him? Besides, we Golden Harvest are afraid of competition? What if he has four leading theaters now? What about the Shaw Brothers and 16 theaters, aren't they also defeated by us! Be confident, as long as you do well, you are not afraid of competition from others. If you don't do well, even if no one fights with you, you will collapse yourself. ”

"The owner was right. We don't need to worry about it. Although there are four leading theaters in the summer, they are still far from competing with us. Cai Changyong also nodded and said, "But the most angry thing now should be Debao's Pan Disheng, I originally wanted to drag it out." asked Boss Shao to lower the price, but he didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, and he grabbed the food and robbed him of what was in his pocket. I guess he's going to be angry. ”

"I don't care if he's angry or not, in short, Wen Huai, I always feel that I can't be careless about summer. It has only been ten years since we had nothing at Golden Harvest, and the development speed of summer is much faster than ours. In less than half a year, he went from nothing to the current theater tycoon. If we don't take precautions, in a few years, what do you think he will grow up like?" He Guanchang shook his head and said.

"That's a problem, so what do you want to do?" Cai Changyong said with some hesitation when he heard this.

"I suggest calling all of our people back and not working with him anymore. In addition, we should not participate in his crowdfunding. Wouldn't it be too stupid to use our money to strengthen himself, and then come and compete with us?" He Guanchang said hoarsely.

"But this crowdfunding is not only for him to make money, but also for us. "Zombie Family" and "Detective Chocolate", the overseas distribution of these two films, both sold at very high prices, and those who participated in the investment made money this time. Cai Changyong objected, "Besides, even if we don't cooperate with him, Taiwanese film companies, Thai film companies, Singapore film companies, and Hong Kong film companies, large and small, will all compete to cooperate with him." ”

Although making movies is a very lucrative thing, it also divides people. Like Luo Wei, he was very good at making movies before, and he broke box office records at every turn, making him earn tens of millions of net worth. But now he is filming one and losing one, and even the coffin is going to be lost.

If Shaw Brothers hadn't lost too much money in the past few years, Sir Shao would not have ruthlessly closed the Shaw Brothers. The same is true for them Golden Harvest, although there are blockbuster films such as "Plan A", "Lucky Star Gaozhao", and "Miscellaneous Kid". But there are also a lot of loss-making movies, such as Cheng Long's "Weilong Detective" filmed in the United States, which made Golden Harvest lose a lot of money.

Overall, if you win more and lose less, the profit margin is only one to two percent, which is already very good.

And in the summer, the return rate is as high as 100%, but it is quite profitable. This kind of opportunity to make money is grabbed by others, and you don't deserve to be unlucky.

"Crowdfunding can continue to participate, but our people should not lend it to him in the future. After thinking about it, Zou Wenhuai decided.

"Well, let's do it. He Guanchang also nodded.

……

"Smack! How can this be reasonable!" Debao Film Company, Pan Disheng slapped the table angrily.

A piece of fat to the mouth has been snatched away, which is really depressing.

This summer is really inauthentic, knowing that he has bought twelve theaters, and he is also determined to get these four leading theaters, but he still intervened halfway, which is simply disgusting!

"Dong Pan, let's dissipate our anger, things are already like this, and it won't help to be angry now. Let's consider a solution. Cen Jianxun persuaded.

He doesn't approve of making a lot of noise. If noisy can solve the problem, then everything in the world will be easy to do.

"What do you say, right? It wasn't that you suggested that you should delay it for a while, and you wanted to let Uncle Shao lower the price again. Now it's been preempted by Summer, what do you say?" Pan Disheng looked at Cen Jianxun dissatisfied.

At that time, Sir Shao offered 35 million, and he originally thought of agreeing to it.

It was because Cen Jianxun helped him calculate an account, pointing out that it was not cost-effective to rent 35 million, and suggested that he delay it a little longer, and wait for Sir Shao to drop the price again. After all, he was the only buyer at that time, and he was not afraid that Sir Shao would not agree. I didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, which led to the current predicament.

"I didn't expect him to be so rich all of a sudden. Cen Jianxun also said depressedly.

A month and a half ago, there was no money to make a movie in the summer, and it still needed crowdfunding to get start-up funds. Now it's tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which makes people feel like a dream.

"Don't say it's useless, what should I do now?" Pan Disheng also knew that regret now was useless, and asked Cen Jianxun.

"I suggest that we talk about cooperation with Summer, he also needs small and medium-sized theaters to join, and we also need his leading theaters. Cen Jianxun thought about it and suggested.

"Cooperation?!He has the final say, I have the final say?" Pan Di asked with a glare.

"This, I think, should be negotiable. Cen Jianxun hesitated.

In fact, what he just wanted to say was that he must have the final say in the summer.

Don't look at Pan Disheng, there are twelve theaters, but they are useless. Because you don't have a leading theater as a flagship, the momentum just can't get up. It's like if you run a big company but don't have a landline, it feels very unreliable.

On the contrary, there are four leading theaters in the summer, and it is not difficult for him to find ten more small and medium-sized theaters.

Pan Disheng heard Cen Jianxun's hesitation, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. He has always prided himself as a business wizard, and every business decision he makes has won him handsome rewards. He only used one million US dollars as a starting capital, and in six years, he accumulated a huge fortune of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

He is such a business wizard, but now he has to bow his head to the summer because of a mistake of his own, which makes Pan Disheng feel really uncomfortable.

"Do you think we can spend a little more money to sublet the four major theaters from him?" Pan Disheng thought for a moment. He was reluctant to cooperate with Summer, and even less willing to bow to him.

"I don't think it's likely. Only adding a few million, it is estimated that it will not move his heart at all. If we add tens of millions, then we might as well build a few new leading theaters by ourselves. Cen Jianxun analyzed.

Now the cost of renting a new building and rebuilding a new theater is only one or two million. If you sublet it from the summer, it will be a little less cost-effective.

"Alright then, let's talk about him. Damn, why do you carry it so much. Pan Di said depressedly. (To be continued.) )
