Chapter 0486: Trouble in Community Cinemas, Third Uncle Lin

The sun sets and the sun rises, and it's a new day.

Li Wenxing slept exceptionally sweetly on the first night in the United States, too, nephrite jade in his arms, can it not be sweet?

got up early in the morning and went out for a morning run, Li Wenxing was fortunate to see Los Angeles at 'six o'clock in the morning'.

It's no different from Xiangjiang, well, the weather is cooler than there.

Running 3,000 meters in the morning, and then boxing for half an hour as usual,

Thanks to the efficient exercise method, as well as the medicine and diet (nutrition) supplements that do not hesitate to spend money, Li Wenxing can clearly feel that his body is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

The most striking feature: the six-pack abs can be seen when the placket is opened, and even if you don't bend your arms intentionally, you can see a large biceps bulge.

The only fly in the ointment is that male ability has not improved, which is not a good phenomenon for the actual situation of more and more women around him.

Li Wenxing was very troubled by this, and even had the idea of developing that little blue pill by himself more than once.

It's just that the thought of doing that is a bit of a thirst quenching implication is not really put into action.

Or can it be made for the benefit of all the male banks in the world?

Well, it was also because of the intimate interaction with Zhang Bingqian last night that Li Wenxing's idea became very powerful.

Hey, the who has been in drought for a long time and has nectar is really powerful, and she can't bear it at all.

After the morning exercise, go back to the room to wash,

When Li Wenxing came out of the bathroom, Zhang Bingqian had already prepared breakfast, a Chinese breakfast.

Uh, well, is also as good as, intimate and caring.

Li Wenxing had a captain in his heart, and while he was happy, he did not forget to reward him sincerely.

Then a large wave of dog food was spilled, and breakfast was spent in the intimacy of the two.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Lin has arrived ......"

"Release ......"

After breakfast, Zhang Bingqian went to clean up the kitchen, and Li Wenxing continued to study the information of Galaxy Cinema.

From the beginning of its establishment, Galaxy Cinemas has taken the path of community cinemas.

What is a community cinema chain? It is a cinema alliance front composed of all cinemas that are located in residential areas and serve the residents of the district.

Or to put it another way, this kind of community cinema is equivalent to the kind of video hall hidden in residential communities that emerged in the 90s in the mainland.

The difference is that Li Wenxing has opened this kind of 'video hall' in many communities.

To be exact, there are 71 theaters, more than 110 screens, and a total of more than 13,520 viewing seats.

Of course, this figure is only a written statistic, and what is really in actual operation at the moment should be subtracted by at least 30%.

But even if it is subtracted by thirty percent, it can definitely be called a remarkable achievement, and Li Wenxing was frightened.

In just one year, from scratch, to make such great achievements, Li Wenxing can imagine how much effort Zhang Bingqian has put in to the difficulties.

It is also because of this that he will boldly and generously directly add 7% of her theater shares.

He just contributed money, and invested five million US dollars, but Zhang Bingqian was bleeding and hard work.

She successfully monetized the 5 million and turned it into 71 community movie theaters, turning them into a small theater chain that can entertain 13,520 people at the same time.

Paying so much, 7% of people's shares is not much, not to mention that they are still knocking down people and eating them clean.

Back to the topic,

As Zhang Bingqian herself said, this community cinema, from the opening of the first to the seventy-first, she has accumulated a lot of business.

Li Wenxing saw from the financial statements that in the past month, she had opened a total of 13 new theaters, with an average of one opening every three days.

Well, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's a theater, let's call it a viewing room for the time being.

After all, their largest one is only 260 seats, which is equivalent to a large lecture hall in a university, and the smallest is only 105 seats, which is equivalent to an ordinary classroom in a middle school.

Similarly, it is precisely because the area and scale of its single viewing room are not large, and it is much simpler to develop so quickly in its interior decoration, purchase of projection equipment, viewing seats and other things.

And for now, what restricts the development of this community cinema line is no longer a shackle from the political service level, according to Zhang Bingqian, in the initial stage, it did encounter difficulties from the local political service department,

Even for more than half a year, it was spent on this,

Fortunately, I found the relevant connections in the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce to help dredge up, and then tried out the camp in the Chinese-dominated community, and after achieving results, it gradually expanded outward.

As it turned out, this strategy was correct.

Nowadays, the development of this cinema chain is limited by the lack of enough trustworthy manpower, which leads to extremely high management costs.

Think of every movie theater as a shop, open its doors every day, how much is the turnover, how much is the profit, is there any employee greed for ink, will the projection equipment be lost, the wear and tear of movie copies, replacement, etc., and so on, there are not too many problems.

And each of these problems is a drawback that must be properly solved, and every day of delay in solving the problem will cause losses that are directly paid by Galaxy.

This is just one of them, these problems are not really big problems, at best they are just the difference between earning more and earning less.

The biggest factor restricting the development of this cinema line is the difficulty of reconciling the opinions of the moviegoers, the bad reviews from community residents, and even malicious troubles.

We all know that the United States is a multi-ethnic country with mixed population, and in every community, there will basically be people from many countries and regions living there.

The simplest logic is, what movies should be shown in the studio every day? You want to watch this, he wants to watch that, you say it's up to you, you can put whatever you want.

But the key is that you are serving the residents of the community, and if they are not satisfied, you may lose this customer forever, and in the long run, you will definitely go out of business.

Not to mention the film classification system in the United States, different movies are only allowed to be watched by people of different ages,

Those who screen in violation of regulations will be held legally responsible.

And taboos, well, taboos,

Depending on the content of the movie, it is possible that some of them like to watch it, but they just happen to commit the taboo of another group of people.

For example, from the religious teachings of the faith, the resulting opinions, prejudices, feelings of discomfort about the content of a certain movie, and then... Trouble.

Maybe in other occasions, such as big filmmakers, they can restrain their negative emotions in their hearts, but for a small shop in the community, they don't have to restrain at all.

Above, this kind of problem is the most headache.

Even if he pretends to have an extraordinary vision, many ideas, and many routines, Li Wenxing is also a little blind at this moment, and he can't find a good way to solve these problems.

It was also at this time that Lin Xueli's third uncle came to the appointment,

Li Wenxing could only clean up his irritability first, and he was a good student to receive this Lin family senior.

Not to mention Lin Xueli's face, let's just say that Xingwan's business in the United States still needs this care.
