Yuan Bifu didn't even think about it, and rejected Xu Cun's proposal to buy Taiping Theater.
As soon as the words came out, Yuan Bifu felt that his words were a little impolite, so Yuan Bifu explained: "The Taiping Theater is the ancestral business of my Yuan family, I can't let it change to its surname in my hands, if this is the case, I am ashamed of my ancestors!" β
Is what Yuan Bifu said true?
Half and half of it.
Now Yuan Bifu really doesn't want to sell Taiping Theater, because, as she said, she doesn't want to bear this psychological burden.
But in fact, within a few years, the Taiping Theater was demolished and then converted into the famous Huaming Center. It is not difficult to see that Yuan Bifu does not want to sell Taiping Theater at all.
In the last life, Xu Cun and the crew came to Hong Kong to film, just in time for Yuan Bifu to donate more than 6,000 cultural relics to the Hong Kong Cultural Museum, the Hong Kong History Museum and the Hong Kong Film Archive under the LCSD.
Xu Cun, who had read the news, had some knowledge of the history of the Taiping Theater, and also knew that Yuan Bifu, who had been carefully preserving the cultural relics of the theater and his family's business after the closure, was indeed thinking about his ancestral business. However, Xu Cun knew that Yuan Bifu, who turned the Taiping Theater into Huaming Center, was not as decisive as she showed now.
After listening to Yuan Bifu's explanation, Xu Cun said: "Miss Yuan, do you think that Ling Grandfather founded the Taiping Theater to close the Taiping Theater and seal the dust?" Ling respectfully built the Taiping Theater and gave the Taiping Theater the function of showing movies, does he want the Taiping Theater to be closed and dusted? The Taiping Theatre is a large theater with more than 2,000 seats in a prime location, and it should be open for business, using its stage to sing, hold concerts, and show movies. Don't you think this is the greatest respect for Grandfather Ling, Ling Zun and the Taiping Theater? β
Yuan Bifu said: "If someone is willing to use it to sing, hold concerts, and screen movies, I will also open the door to do business, like this Academy Awards ceremony, don't I also open for business?" β
Xu Cun shook his head lightly and said, "That's because the Li Stage is being renovated, and Shu Qi and they will go to great lengths to find you, otherwise the day "Modern Bodyguard" is painted may be the last time the Taiping Theater will be open." β
After listening to what Xu Cun said, Yuan Bifu was silent - Yuan Bifu knew that what Xu Cun said was all the truth, all the facts that were not mixed with any water!
Xu Cun hit the railway while it was hot: "I dare to assert that if the Taiping Theater continues to be in your hands, it will be reduced to history in no more than five years...... I'm not alarmist, if the Taiping Theater is useless all the time, it will definitely turn from an industry into a burden, and you will definitely get tired of it after a long time. Moreover, no one is a winning general in the shopping mall, and once you encounter an emergency, the first thing you will make up your mind will definitely be the Taiping Theater, which is not useful...... And the Taiping Cinema is different if it is in my hands, I own two film companies, two record companies, a TV station, and a brokerage company. β
Xu Cun's words made Yuan Bifu's heart move slightly, but she still didn't want to sell the Taiping Theater - she was not short of money, so why sell her ancestral business?
Based on this, Yuan Bifu said: "I admit that what you said is reasonable, Mr. Xu, but the problem is that the Taiping Theater cannot be kept in your hands forever in Mr. Xu, so why should I sell the Taiping Theater to you?" β
Xu Cun said with great confidence: "The Taiping Theater must have existed in my hands for much longer than in your hands Miss Yuan!" When it comes to my status, I am generally not too short of money, and even if I am really short of money, I will not have the idea of playing a theater, not to mention that this theater is still very useful to me. β
After listening to Xu Cun's domineering words, Yuan Bifu really couldn't refute - Yuan Bifu was a little rich, but he really couldn't compare with Xu Cun, who had a net worth of billions!
Xu Cun has always believed in a truth - there are not many problems that money can't solve!
Therefore, Xu Cun, who didn't want to spend any more time with Yuan Bifu, directly offered a price: "I'll pay 20 million...... The Taiping Theater, which carries the memories of countless Xiangjiang people, should continue to compete with the Li Stage, and should not be reduced to a warehouse or even demolished. β
20 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to build four or five theaters as big as Taiping Theater, so the price offered by Xu Cun is not sincere!
Moreover, now that the Xiangjiang real estate market is collapsing, Xu Cun can still offer this high price, which makes Xu Cun even more sincere!
Therefore, for the first time, Yuan Bifu moved his heart to sell the Taiping Theater to Xu Cun.
But-
Tempted is tempted, but Yuan Bifu's heart is still inclined not to sell Taiping Theater.
Seeing that Yuan Bifu didn't speak, Xu Cun stepped up his offensive and said, "Twenty-five million...... In the near future, I am going to build a cinema, Miss Yuan, if you are willing to sell the Taiping Cinema to me, I will open a showroom for the Taiping Cinema in my cinema to place the cultural relics of the Taiping Cinema. β
Xu Cun's proposal made Yuan Bifu's heart tremble - in this way, she could not only get rid of the trouble of the Taiping Theater, but also cash out a large amount of money, and most importantly, give her own heart an explanation.
Seeing that Yuan Bifu already had the intention of selling the Taiping Theater, Xu Cun said in a deep voice: "Thirty million...... To tell you the truth, I was going to set up a cinema chain, but there was a lack of a leading cinema that matched my identity, so I wanted to buy Taiping Cinema...... Believe me, no one will offer a higher price than me, and no one will build a showroom for the Taiping Theater for the Taiping Theater's relics! β
With the current housing prices in Xiangjiang, the Taiping Theater is worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars at most, so Xu Cun, who offered three times the price, is qualified to say this.
After all, Yuan Bifu is not rich enough to be no less than one or twenty million, and she has also found a suitable excuse for her heart.
So, after being silent for a while, Yuan Bifu said: "Congratulations, Mr. Xu, the Taiping Theater is yours." β
After a pause, I don't know if it was true or making excuses for myself, Yuan Bifu smiled: "Actually, I'm your fan, otherwise you really wouldn't be able to convince me so easily!" β
From the current point of view, Xu Cun spent 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the Taiping Theater is indeed a bit of a loss.
But in the long run, Xu Cun has made a lot of money - the Taiping Theater facing Queen's Road West is definitely located in a prime location! Therefore, it is not much, at most in another ten years, the value of this piece of land alone will have to be at least ten times more than ten!
As for the establishment of a showroom for the Taiping Cinema in the cinema.
For Xu Cun, this is a small thing!
The heritage of the Taiping Theatre covers a wide range of areas, but on the whole, the heritage of the Taiping Theatre can be broadly divided into the following categories: "deeds", "letters", "scripts", plaques, paintings, photographs, seating charts, tickets, architectural plans, books and magazines, etc.
How much space can these things occupy? There's a 1,000-foot room that's big enough to hold themβand when the studio is built, you'll be able to build one of these in a corner. Moreover, sooner or later, Yuan Bifu will donate all the cultural relics of the Taiping Theater. In other words, Xu Cun just lent a less important thousand-foot-large room to Yuan Bifu for a few years.
