Chapter 1505: Layout
DreamWorks now has two theater chains. Fastest updates
Donghai Cinema Line and Art Garden Cinema Line.
Among them, the art garden cinema line mainly screens niche art films, and each cinema has about two or three theaters, and the scale is not very large.
Since Yang Ming's acquisition, even if hundreds of millions of funds have been spent on redecoration and operation, the revenue of the theater chain still cannot maintain the expenses of the theater.
It's no wonder why art-genre cinemas can't become mainstream.
But even so, Yang Ming still spares no effort to improve the influence of the art garden cinema, whether it is the style of decoration or the type of films released, they are all carefully and fully prepared.
Even if the attendance rate is not very satisfactory, as time goes by, the unconventional style of the Art Garden Cinema Line has also won the favor of many petty bourgeois audiences.
After the boom after the opening of the cinema, the operating income of the cinema quickly declined and returned to normal, and after a period of operation, the operating income has increased significantly.
Even if this cinema chain can't make much money for Yang Ming in the future, it can be enough to maintain the expenses of the theater.
If he can do this, Yang Ming will be satisfied.
However, what he values most is the influence of Yiyuan Cinema in the film industry.
Especially for those independent films, it is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven.
Independent films, art films, and alternative style films have always been unpopular with mainstream commercial theaters, and it is difficult to get distribution and release.
Now there can be a theater chain with the theme of showing niche movies.
This has given many independent filmmakers and veteran filmmakers renewed hope.
Yang Ming's move won the favor of many people in the industry.
Since then, DreamWorks has at least tripled the number of movie scripts that have been pitched to DreamWorks.
Among them, several scripts have passed the review, and Yang Ming is quite optimistic about the benefits brought by these projects.
In addition, Yang Ming's voice in the film industry has invisibly increased a lot.
This time, Hou Zhengde suddenly bombarded Yang Ming, but he did not get too much support in the film industry, more or less because of this factor.
If it were someone else, the result would obviously not be as easy as Yang Ming.
In addition to the Art Garden Cinema Line, under the management of Li Dongyang, the Donghai Cinema Line has been steadily and steadily operating step by step, and has expanded more than a dozen new cinemas in the past two or three years.
But now it seems that the pace of expansion is quite slow.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Yang Ming went to have dinner and returned to the room where he was resting at the base.
Keep working on the above things.
He gave Li Dongyang a reply to his work email.
"Accelerate the expansion of cinemas in second- and third-tier cities!"
Now that the local film market has shown obvious signs of growth, compared with the development of the film industry in his previous life, Yang Ming believes that he will soon enter the golden age of the film industry, and it is also an era in which various theaters are blooming.
The film market has been greatly activated, and the competition between cinemas and cinemas is becoming more and more fierce.
With the high cost of operating cinemas in first-tier cities and the rising rent pressure becoming a heavy burden, it is an inevitable choice to shift positions and focus on the development of second- and third-tier cities in the increasingly fierce competition.
Yang Ming believes that other cinema companies will soon pay attention to this.
Since being acquired by Yang Ming, Donghai Cinema Line has become the fourth largest cinema chain in China after more than two years of continuous expansion.
If you want to go further, if you still target first-tier cities, then the cost is bound to be too great.
The layout of cinemas in second- and third-tier cities is the general trend.
Yang Ming blacked and bolded the words of these approvals in the email, indicating that he attached great importance to them.
Now that the company is abundant in cash, it must take the lead and seize the time to lay out in the second and third-tier cities.
It took him more than two hours to get his work done.
Then he stood up and twisted his neck, which was a little sore from sitting for a long time, and now his workload has been reduced a lot.
With the managers hired through headhunters, they are in place.
Yang Ming now basically only needs to grasp the general direction of its various industries.
He stood up and moved for a while, thought about the cinema chain, and couldn't help but think of Wanda Cinema, which ranked first in his previous life.
Thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he became interested.
He touched his chin and sat down on the table, wondering if his uncle kept asking him if he had any new projects.
In the previous life, Wanda commercial real estate seemed like a good idea.
He doesn't really care about the profits brought by commercial real estate.
However, the cinema chain, which is one of the core elements, is valued by Yang Ming.
Anyway, he is not short of cash in his hands, and it is not a good thing to put a lot of cash in the bank to eat interest.
Originally, Yang Ming thought that the construction of DreamWorks Film and Television City would swallow up a lot of his funds.
But I didn't expect that just a part of WeChat's shares would be enough to ensure the construction of the film and television city.
And DreamWorks in his goldfinger, a steady stream of scripts, like a money printing machine, provides Yang Ming with a lot of cash.
In this case, it is not bad to find a heavyweight investment project again.
Thinking of this, he immediately called his brother-in-law.
"Call me at this point, what's the matter with me?"
The phone was quickly connected, and Yang Ming heard from the phone that the other end seemed to be a little noisy, so he asked, "Is it inconvenient to talk now?"
"It's okay, it's just a gathering of friends, it's not a serious matter, what do you say first?" asked Li Xingyi with the phone.
"I have a new project on hand here, I want to ask you if you are interested, first of all, this project investment is very expensive!" Yang Ming spoke a little louder, for fear that his uncle would not hear it.
When Li Xingyi heard Yang Ming say this, he said a little nonchalantly: "Money is not a problem, your grandfather has now begun to gradually distribute the family property, I have got a few small industries, but they are not the industries I like, they are all ready to sell, as long as the return rate of your project is attractive enough, no matter how much money you have, I can also get it." ”
In the end, Li Xingyi's tone was full of pride.
Yang Ming obviously felt his uncle's strong self-confidence from the phone, especially the tone of not taking money seriously, which was vividly displayed.
The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, it seems that his brother-in-law is a little swollen!
But it's no wonder that not to mention other industries, just by virtue of his shares in WeChat, my uncle is worth tens of billionaires.
Inflation is also a reasonable thing.
"The initial investment should be about 10 billion, and the back will continue to invest, if the operation is good, the value of this project should not be more than 100 billion in the future. Yang Ming said leisurely.
In the previous life, the market value of Wanda Real Estate did not exceed 100 billion.
But if other industries are added, it will exceed 100 billion yuan, and if it is based on the economy of China today, relatively speaking, it will be more commercially valuable.
Poof.
Yang Ming didn't immediately hear the reaction from his uncle's side, but heard a sound from inside, which seemed to be the sound of the phone falling to the ground.
He quickly moved his phone away from his ears.
Then he smiled and guessed that the uncle must have been suppressed.
Really.
After a while, my uncle's voice was several times louder on the phone: "Yang Ming, I'm your own uncle, don't fool me!"
"Ten billion, you're going to squeeze your uncle and me dry!"
"No, no, no, I can't take out so much cash for the time being, if I really want to invest so much at once, there is a risk that the capital chain in my hand will be broken. ”
Yang Ming heard the continuous nagging of the uncle from the other end, and it seemed that the uncle left the place just now and arrived in a quiet place, and there was no noise.
"What kind of project is it?" Li Xingyi asked eagerly with his mobile phone.
"Commercial real estate. Yang Ming's answer was very concise.
Li Xingyi suddenly heard this term, and he didn't react for a while, he knew about real estate, and he knew very well that the Li family had a lot of properties in real estate, but this industry would be left to the eldest brother Li Xingren.
He is no stranger to the industry.
As long as the project is done well, the return on investment is very impressive.
Even though he was so familiar with the industry, he had never heard of the term commercial real estate.
Yang Ming seemed to guess that his uncle was not familiar with this, and then briefly talked about Wanda's commercial real estate model in his previous life.
A moment later.
Li Xingyi's right hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, and his breathing was quite urgent, and the more he listened to Yang Ming, the more excited the whole person became.
He can't wait to fly to Yang Ming's side right now and listen to Yang Ming tell him the details of commercial real estate in person.
In his eyes, he can be sure.
As long as this commercial real estate project is done well, it will definitely succeed, and as long as there is no problem with the capital chain, it will definitely make a fortune.
A commercial square, a city center.
When Yang Ming said the purpose of this slogan on the phone, Li Xingyi was stimulated again.
However, at this time, Yang Ming cautiously said to Li Xingyi on the phone: "Uncle, if this project wants to succeed, in addition to the most important funds, the entry of various brands is also a very important factor. ”
"We have to sign joint expansion agreements with major brands in advance, which is a model of both prosperity and loss. Wherever commercial real estate goes, these brands follow to open stores. In this way, we can copy this commercial real estate model on a rolling basis at that time. ”
After listening to this speech, Li Xingyi already has a clear understanding of the commercial real estate model proposed by Yang Ming.
He is already very familiar with the real estate industry.
Now with Yang Ming's words, he no longer has any doubts about the prospects of commercial real estate, so he said: "I am responsible for the brand's entry, and I still have a little bit of connections in the family for so many years!"
"That's good. Yang Ming said lightly, he guessed that his uncle must have resources in this area, after all, the Li family also has a very big influence in the south.
He thought of something, and said again: "Uncle, in addition to the brand entry, the giant merchants such as cinemas, department stores, flagship stores, and specialty stores must also be contacted, but among them, the theaters should not be contacted, just left to my Donghai Cinema Line." ”
Li Xingyi suddenly heard Yang Ming say this, his face was stunned, but he figured it out in an instant.
I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Originally, I thought that you kid would suddenly throw such a big pie out to me today!
Yang Ming shook his head when he heard this, and said angrily: "Uncle, don't take advantage of it and sell it, just say it, you can't vote for this project, right? If you don't vote, I'll go to someone else." ”
"Vote, vote, I'll vote 100%, you kid will know how to bully your uncle and me. Li Xingyi said with a smile on the phone, then he pondered for a while, and continued: "I want to add an insurance for this project, so I suggest finding someone to cooperate, this person you may not know, but their family has a great influence in hotels and department stores, if he joins, then our project will be a lot easier." ”
"Okay, you look at it, call me when there is news about the matter, but I may not have much time in the near future, and I will arrange for someone to be in charge of it later." Yang Ming said very simply.
For him, commercial real estate was just an idea that came to mind from a previous life.
It's nothing.
Even if he can reach the height of Wanda in his previous life, it will only make his wealth a little more.
What Yang Ming cares about most is the cinema embedded in commercial real estate.
A commercial property, a city center.
This slogan is not just a joke.
He remembers very clearly his previous life, but as long as it is Wanda Plaza, it will be the commercial center of the city.
There is enough foot traffic to ensure the revenue of the theater.
Why did Wanda Cinemas top the ranking of domestic cinema companies in the past, and why did a cinema located in Wanda Plaza earn more than the income of several cinemas in other locations?
This is all because of the influence of commercial real estate, which brings bonuses.
As long as the layout of Donghai Cinema Line in commercial real estate is guaranteed, it can be.
The phone hangs up.
Li Xingyi suddenly reacted, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This kid is going to be the shopkeeper again, and I have to be responsible for everything!"
Thinking of this, he felt his head go big.
I just got a CEO for WeChat, and I just got out of my busy work.
Now it's good, he is going to continue to jump into the pit rhythm.
And like WeChat, Yang Ming continued to be the shopkeeper and let him be in charge of the project alone, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.
"This kid is really generous enough, so he is not afraid that I will cheat his money!"
Li Xingyi didn't think too much, put away his mobile phone, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.
It's just that in his eyes, a trace of deep doting flashed.
Since he found the eldest sister to know this nephew, he originally had the desire to help this nephew, after all, he was brought up by the eldest sister back then.
The eldest sister is like a mother.
This is not a joke.
It's just that Li Xingyi didn't expect that his sister's son was too rebellious.
Don't say he's going to help this nephew.
It is estimated that his nephew's assets are now more than those of the Li family, not to mention him.
Thinking of this, Li Xingyi smiled bitterly.
It's just a demon.
Especially those in the family who were originally malicious to the eldest sister and thought that the eldest sister wanted to divide the family property, and when they knew Yang Ming's net worth, everyone was dumbfounded.
said that the eldest sister and her son plotted against the Li family's property.
If you want to say this, it is estimated that countless people will laugh off their big teeth.
The Li family's assets for the eldest sister's son are about the same.
Not to mention anything else, just a WeChat, the value of the shares held by this nephew, after the listing, the market value of more than 100 billion is no problem.
This is not counting the nephew's film company, TV station, a film and television city that has invested a lot of money to build.
Each one is enough to impress everyone in the Li family.
And Li Xingyi himself originally wanted to help the eldest sister's family, but now it's good, he feels that he is the one who is being rescued.
Whether it's WeChat, or now commercial real estate.
He benefited from it.
Therefore, although he said that his nephew was the shopkeeper and he was a toiling public, he was extremely happy in his heart.
This nephew is not an ordinary person!
