After Li Wenxing and Lucas hurriedly for a while, he openly and honestly expressed his investment intentions, and instructed Tang Shuxuan to continue to follow up and track as an intermediary contact, and after lobbying for public relations,

In the next days waiting for Lucas's reply, Li Wenxing did not make any other arrangements regarding the plan to invest in Lucas and "Star Wars".

Because before getting a reply from Lucas himself, everything arranged was in vain, and there would be side complications if it was not good.

Of course, the plan to invest in Star Wars has been put on hold, which does not mean that Li Wenxing has nothing to do.

On the contrary, from the third day he came to the United States, he was busy every day.

First of all, the matter of Galaxy Cinemas,

To this day, Li Wenxing has to admire, at the beginning of his rebirth, as soon as he patted his head, he decided to send someone to the United States to set up a theater line.

Although the reality is far from the original intention and expectation at that time,

That's just because the layout ideas and strategic intentions at that time were not very mature, and when I met Zhang Bingqian, I made this decision with a pat on my head, and it was strange that I could mature.

In addition, the follow-up did not start to control the implementation process of the entire plan, it was completely up to Zhang Bingqian to play by herself, her ability was limited after all, and she was lucky enough not to directly deviate the entire plan.

But that's not to say that the decision itself is wrong and non-existent.

Focusing on the establishment of a cinema chain rooted in the residential community, this idea is not only novel and attractive enough, but even preemptively avoids those strong peer competitors and fills the gap in the movie-going market.

Most people will be curious to go in and find out, even if they find out that it can only be regarded as a movie theater, they will think that it will be much more convenient to watch movies in the future.

While other cinemas are located in commercial districts, downtown areas, and places with a large number of people, the Galaxy Cinema Line is directly driven into the residential area and serves the residents in this area, completely avoiding competition with other large cinemas.

However, there are pros and cons to everything,

The biggest drawbacks of community cinemas can be summed up in two points: it is difficult to maintain the customer source and the cost is difficult to control (which has been mentioned before, but is skipped here).

But as the old saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

After Zhang Bingqian submitted these questions, Li Wenxing has been thinking about countermeasures, and just thought of several improvement measures.

For example, we recruit veterans in the local community, and the families of active military personnel serve as the administrators of the movie theater, and if the movie theater is near the school district, temporary work-study positions can be added as appropriate.

This alone can greatly improve phenomena such as trouble, theft, greed, dereliction of duty, etc.

Veterans themselves are free security guards, and military families can't afford to mess with them, and they have to weigh it if they want to make trouble, steal, or sabotage.

As for work-study students, they must think about their future, and if they don't do it seriously, give him a bad review directly, which is definitely enough for him.

It would be even more perfect if veterans and students were paired up to manage it.

Another example: the copies of movies in each theater must be flowing, and an internal copy exchange system must be established.

In this way, not only can the number of movie copies be reduced, for example, the existing 100 movie theaters, the same movie, only need to buy 20 copies, enough for each theater, in a week to rotate the movie.

Another benefit is that because the copies are shown on a rotational basis, there will be more movies that can be shown in each theater, and then you can give a preview of what movies will be shown this week, and let people vote in advance what movies they want to see next week.

As above, Li Wenxing made two small moves casually, and almost solved all the problems reported by Zhang Bingqian, which was perfect.

Recalling that night, Li Wenxing hugged Zhang Bingqian and said these two improvement proposals, Zhang Bingqian suddenly lost control of her emotions and was full of joy.

Although Li Wenxing just used the perspective beyond the times to come up with such two small tricks, and even said that they were worthless, in Zhang Bingqian's eyes, it was the existence of heaven and man, and she was directly shocked by Li Wenxing's ingenuity. (Note: We do not accept the bar essence here, and see the author for details.) ）

To know those problems, she has been thinking about them for a long time, and she has consulted many people, but she has not been able to solve them properly.

Otherwise, as soon as Li Wenxingfu came over, she immediately shook the pot and asked for advice in a low voice?

Back to the point,

After Li Wenxing successfully found a solution to the current problems encountered by Galaxy Cinemas, all that remained was to hand it over to Zhang Bingqian to implement this improvement method.

Li Wenxing did not completely sit idly by, but followed Zhang Bingqian for several days in a row, during which he made some suggestions from time to time.

For example, the selection of the site, what kind of building is more suitable, must consider the potential danger of accidents, the security environment, the escape route, the cinema in some places, there must be a parking lot nearby, a supermarket, a fast food restaurant, etc.

Another example is the requirements for environmental facilities, with Li Wenxing's advanced vision, to look at the aesthetics of contemporary people, that is, a word, soil, even if this is a rice country.

So Li Wenxing never goes out to be chic, he is really completely loveless, even as the most fashionable, luxurious, and top-level decoration bar in the local area, it is also dirty and slag, and it is not as good as the dance hall opened in his hometown in high school.

Not to mention other places, with that kung fu, it is better to play with Zhang Bingqian at home.

However, due to his lack of understanding of the local culture and people's aesthetic trends, Li Wenxing only made some suggestions on the interior decoration of the cinema, as well as the procurement of seats and facilities.

The more you can take into account these details, the more customers will flow to the cinema, and the stronger the customer stickiness will be.

After talking about Galaxy Cinemas, let's talk about Star Play America,

On March 8th, Li Wenxing specially followed Uncle Lin to a trip to Xingwan's office here, a beach in the north of San Jose, and after inspecting the office building, he also visited the factory, warehouse and other places by the way.

Although there is nothing to see at all, the scale of the factory is very small, only about 40 employees, and the area is only 12 acres.

But after all, it's a company under your own name, so you can't even know where your company is and where the door is open, right?

At the end of the inspection, it is natural that the task plan for the development of Star Play USA within the year has also been set:

It is still a fist product with the Rubik's Cube as the fist product, developing and producing the original third-order Rubik's Cube, as well as the fourth-order Rubik's Cube and Magic Tower, which were registered for patents in the second half of last year, that is, the triangular Rubik's Cube, the grinding circle, the Rubik's Cube Ball, and the Strange Rubik's Cube.

Then buy out the second-order Rubik's Cube patent that has already been registered, and if the transaction fails, choose to negotiate to obtain patent authorization, and after success, it will also be produced and sold.

As for the more advanced fifth-order, sixth-order, seventh-eighth, and nineth-order Rubik's cubes, it is no longer cost-effective to develop and produce them, and they can't make much money, at least not now.

And there is no need to put all the Rubik's cube types on the shelves at once, which will only cause waste.

After all, the Rubik's Cube is just a hunting thing, and if you put a variety of Rubik's Cube on the shelves at the same time, except for those who are particularly obsessed, it is impossible for most people to buy them all in one go.

It's not the same when it's on the shelves separately, everyone will think, hey, there's a new model, and the price is not expensive, so it's okay to start a game with one.

In short, Star Play wants to completely monopolize the Rubik's Cube market and not give others the slightest chance to enter.

At the same time, toy stores were opened in Los Angeles and San Francisco, so that toys from Star Play Xiangjiang and Star Play Day Island could be put on the shelves.

After all, not all toys can be sold in a direct way, after all, the Rubik's Cube is a special case, otherwise so many direct sales companies, why don't they sell dolls?

And when the toy store opens, it can also sell comics by Xingyu and Hoshino.

In addition to these two plans, the rest is that Uncle Lin is free to play, if Star Play wants to develop and grow, it is impossible to wait for Li Wenxing to feed, and must learn to be self-reliant.

After talking about the star playing the United States, let's talk about the top priority of Li Wenxing's trip to the United States:

filmed the movie "Tomb Raider", and signed a pair of young kings and queens singers, Michael Jackson and Madonna Siccone.

It is worth mentioning that before coming to the United States, Li Wenxing originally wanted to shoot "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but after meeting Lucas, he remembered that the script for the first episode of this series of movies had been completed by Lucas as early as 73.

Although the script that Li Wenxing originally copied was actually the script of the second episode, he didn't want to take it out at this time, but put it away and waited for the time when it could play a bigger role.

Regarding the filming of "Tomb Raider", the script is ready-made, and the funds are also ready-made, what Li Wenxing lacks is just suitable actors, executive directors, and a mature crew team.

For this reason, Li Wenxing had to ask Tang Shuxuan for help again, uh, anyway, he didn't bother the two masters, but now, Tang Shuxuan didn't want to get his wish.

Regarding the signing of the two singers, Li Wenxing has already found someone to go to MJ's side to try to get in touch.

Madonna has not been found, a little regrettable.

Unexpectedly met a band that was very obsessed in his previous life, Carpenter, that is, the carpenter brother and sister, Li Wenxing also sent someone to test the contact, whether you can dig it up, try it for the time being.

so

Since March 3, Li Wenxing has been busy with the above piles of things.

Digging directors, making toys, shooting movies, building movie theaters, and digging singers are several things at the same time, which can be said to go hand in hand and start working in an all-round way.
