Lin Qi made an appointment with Run Run Shaw to discuss the acquisition of Shaw Brothers, and was ready to give a sky-high price of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, however, before this offer was mentioned, he was politely rejected by Run Run Shaw, on the grounds that he was not in good health and was treated in the hospital, so he did not talk about business.

However, Lin Qi unexpectedly saw Run Run Shaw at the Four Seasons Hotel.

After seeing Lin Qi, Run Run Shaw was a little embarrassed and wanted to pretend that he didn't see it.

Because, because of the relationship of face, Uncle Shao Liu not only does not want to sell the assets of the Shaw Brothers Film Company to the old rivals Golden Harvest and New Art City.

Moreover, the new entrepreneurial department sold to Lin Qi is not considered.

The new entrepreneurship department has money, technology, and resources, but ...... Shaw admits that it is precisely because these opponents are so successful that he can't get over the face!

The more successful others are, the more they slap their faces, proving that Shaw Brothers Film Company is really running SB at present!

Even if you want to sell, you can quietly sell to other outsiders, and then it's fun to watch buyers compete with old rivals.

"Uncle Shao is really interested, he is sick and hospitalized, and he wants to come to the hotel for a walk?" Lin Qi didn't say anything, but his secretary couldn't help it, and he was a little angry and sarcastic.

"Hehe, whose dog didn't watch and ran out to bite people. If there is no master, then I will discipline and discipline, and when the time comes, I will bite others, and I don't even know how to die. ”

Run Run Shaw didn't speak, but Huang Cianming, the manager of Uncle Shao's subordinate cinema company, took the lead in helping Run Run Shaw fight for face, ready to teach Lin Qi's secretary a lesson.

"Less, Uncle Shao only went to the hospital for a physical examination, this is the way to maintain health, seeing that he is still so healthy in such a grade, you know, you have to learn a little, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Qi frowned and said, although this young secretary is a little bit of something, but after all, he is his own person, even if he is really a dog, he can only train himself, and it is not the turn of other people's dogs to bite.

After Lin Qi spoke, several bodyguards also regarded the secretary as a protective object, separating the manager of the Shaw Cinema Line Company from the attack, so as to prevent the two from fighting.

"Boss Lin, you are busy, let's be busy with yours first. I also have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. Run Run Shaw said coldly, and then, sitting in a wheelchair, the general manager of Shaw Cinema Line hurriedly followed behind and pushed the chair.

Although Uncle Shao Liu's body is healthy, he is not as good as a young man after all, and after walking for a while, he still has to rest in a wheelchair. Therefore, even if he usually travels on foot, the person behind him will have a wheelchair.

"Mr. Lin, did I mess up? Shaw Brothers didn't talk to us at all. Xiao Xiao was a little depressed, for him, the things that Lin Qi explained were not completed, which made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

"Let's go, it's not your responsibility, it's Uncle Shao who really doesn't consider selling the theater to me for the time being. I believe that Boss Zou and Boss Lei are the same, they want to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but they have been hitting a wall. When Lin Qi saw this new secretary with such a cowardly look, he not only felt that the young people now, but also lacked concentration.

If Run Run Shaw really thinks about selling cinemas, Hong Kong will indeed find a lot of interested buyers. In particular, the old rivals in the film industry, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess, all want to annex Shaw Brothers and completely consolidate their leading position in the cinema market.

With the hegemony of Hong Kong's local market, it can win over the vast majority of film production companies, no matter how good or bad the film is, as long as the attendance rate is not so low that it is unprofitable, then the cinema company will sit firmly in Diaoyutai and take at least half of the revenue.

Shaw Brothers Film Company's theatrical resources, although Lin Qi wants.

However, it may not be necessary to acquire Shaw Brothers' cinema resources, but Lin Qi feels that the acquisition of existing cinema resources is more conducive to rapid layout.

You must know that although the operation of Shaw Brothers' cinemas is not ideal, most of the cinemas have a good area, and the location is also the most popular golden shop in the urban area.

In other words, it is more difficult to rearrange the resources of the cinema line, and it is more difficult to have such a good location.

As for the problem of Shaw Brothers' cinema line equipment being old and the source of the film being garbage. This is not a matter for Lin Qi at all!

Even a theater with advanced equipment was acquired by Lin Qi, and it was ready to be dismantled and remodified. The equipment and layout should be different from the traditional single-hall theater, but should be changed to a multiplex cinema with two or three hundred seats.

Nowadays, there are many movie cycles in Hong Kong cinemas, and movies with good box office generally do not exceed a one-month screening cycle. It is because the cinema is a single hall, a cinema with more than 1,000 seats, once the audience is less than 200, even if the movie is good, it must be painted thoroughly.

And if it is improved into multiple halls, each cinema has 200 seats, and multiple movies are shown at the same time. At that time, the overall box office revenue of the cinema chain will be more stable.

In addition to changing a single hall to a multi-hall building, the Department of New Entrepreneurship also developed a digital film projection equipment, replacing the film copies of the films distributed by the cinema with digital copies stored on hard disks.

This kind of film projection equipment based on computer technology is the trend and standard of industry development in the future. You know, in the later movie theaters, how could there be traditional film? The digital cinema line is the mainstream of the future movie theaters, and the copies that are standard with movie projectors are all hard disks later.

The new venture department is currently the world's leader in large-capacity hard disk technology, and at present, the cost of 1GB storage capacity has been reduced to 100 US dollars.

Combined with the 2K high-definition movie standard developed by the new entrepreneurship department, the capacity of a single digital movie copy is about 15GB~30GB. In other words, the cost of a hard disk copy of a single HD movie is between $1500~$3000.

Although this price is more expensive than traditional movie copies, the current film projection technology does not even reach 1080P. There is a huge gap with the 2K high-definition standard of the digital cinema line of the new entrepreneurial department.

Therefore, the 2K high-definition cinema is also Lin Qi's killer feature in technology.

After the acquisition of a cinema line, Lin Qi will promote this technology in his own cinema line, and then attract the attention of cinema chains all over the world, and then promote the new technology to the world, so as to share the market dividend of the upgrading of projection equipment in the world's cinema market.

For a set of high-definition movie projection equipment, Lin Qi gave an offer of $2 million. If there are 10,000 screens in the world every year, and this system is replaced, then it will be a $20 billion supermarket a year. The scale of profits implied in this market is even more enticing at the box office of the movie.

Due to the different positions of the stations, Lin Qi's layout far exceeded the imagination of Uncle Shao Liu, Boss Zou and Boss Lei. After all, these bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry are basically traditional businessmen's ideas to make movies, perhaps, they are also more fond of movies, but because these bigwigs have no technical background and don't know much about computers, they can't do Lin Qi like this, and the investment industry is an outlet to seize the new technology standards of the future.

In fact, Lin Qi has also promoted this 2K projection system, but Hong Kong's cinema chain operators, a set of equipment for 2 million dollars, the world can not find peers to adopt this new technology, so they have shaken their heads like rattles.

It is precisely because Lin Qi can't help but come out by himself: "If the cinema line doesn't take the initiative to change, then I will use new technologies and business ideas to subvert the cinema!"
