The construction plan of the Phoenix Cinema Line has been accelerated again, and I have to go to see the two newly reclaimed theaters and one piece of land in person, to be exact, it should be two plots of land and a theater, and this theater is actually related to the partner Yindu.

Yau Ma Tei Puqing Cinema is one of the members of the Shuangnan Cinema Line established by Yindu, and usually also performs Cantonese opera. This cinema is quite large, and it can be ranked among the top among all the cinemas in Hong Kong, which was originally demolished in 87 years, and then converted into the Eaton Hotel and Puqing Plaza, and the theater was changed to a mini type and continued to operate in Puqing Plaza. The reason why I know about this theater is because of the rumors of haunting here in the late 90s.

I don't know what method Phillips Yang used to get such a big theater under the Shuangnan Cinema Line, but then again, it is really not a good way out for Puqing Cinema to join Shuangnan Cinema Line, Shuangnan Cinema Line itself has to rely on the relief funds of Yindu to operate, not to mention its cinema line, otherwise Puqing Cinema will not be reduced several times after the demolition in 87 years.

The Stellar Cinema in Sheung Wan is actually a piece of land, the Stellar Cinema only really existed between 71 and 82 years, 71 years ago it was called the New World Cinema, and after 82 years it was demolished, and together with the adjacent Harbour Master's Office building, it was bought by a real estate company, Vedder Group, to build a high-end office building and shopping mall.

But for some unknown reason, this Vedder Group had a little financial problem, and became one of the countless companies in Hong Kong that have economic problems every year, and the demolished land is just like that. I didn't know what to call it, so I had to still call it "Stellar Cinema".

Then there's the land at the Central Fire Station. In the early days, it was also a cinema, called the Peace Theatre, which specialized in Cantonese opera, and later changed to show Western films in the 20s, and later became the Central Fire Station. Less than half a year after the fire department was evacuated from here, the devil knows what method Phillips Young used to get through the work of the relevant departments and release the land. Then it was photographed by this half-foreign devil.

The three places turned down, Mo Fei was also convinced of the efficiency of this half-foreign devil, these places were all good, especially the land on the fire station and the stellar theater, which was really good. It's a bit of a condescension to let this guy engage in cinemas, he should go to real estate, and he can definitely become a real estate predator.

These two sites are not just about cinemas. You must know that Hong Kong's land development can be said to be more than an inch of land, and if you only build a cinema instead of a commercial building to open a cinema in such a good location as Sheung Wan, it will be too bad to ruin the land, and you will not be able to see it.

I don't know what kind of buildings these two pieces of land were in their previous lives, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is close to Victoria Harbour, it is basically the best commercial area in Hong Kong, and Sheung Wan is right on the coast of Victoria Harbour, how can these two plots of land not let them reach their maximum potential.

Including the Puqing Cinema in Yau Ma Tei, I don't plan to use it like that or directly turn it into a movie theater. Since it can be rebuilt in 87 years, it can also be rebuilt in 86 years. As long as the scale of the theater is guaranteed, there is no need to worry about anything else.

But in this way, the number of theaters may be a little worse, but you can't really waste such a good land, so I have to let Phillips Young work harder, just to see if this guy has any other good ideas, if it's really that powerful, you might as well let him do something more important and more suitable for him.

Phillips Young already had his own ideas when he received Mo Fei's call, his previous operation was completely for long-term development, and now that the plan has changed, he has to come up with the right way.

Nodding and saying: "Boss, I have also considered this issue, in fact, I don't think we need to buy or lease commercial buildings, we now have seven cinemas and one cinema about to finish the renovation, plus the renovation, there will be eleven more theaters to be completed by the end of this year." If the company's funds can keep up, the two pieces of land in our hands can be turned into new commercial buildings in just over a year, at most in less than two years, and the theater can be completed and opened at the same time, which will not have much impact on the theater plan. If we rent a floor to renovate a theater, we will face a large investment in equipment and renovation, and then we will be in a dilemma.

I think it's better to rent ready-made cinemas now, I also made an understanding of the Hong Kong film market some time ago, and now some of the franchised theaters of Debao Cinemas have a few that plan to quit, we can rent these theaters, and then just quit the lease. In this way, we don't have to occupy our own funds, and we don't have to worry about the future being difficult to handle, and at the same time, we can weaken the power of other theaters, and we don't have to worry about the impact on the market, which is the best way for us. ”

This half-foreign devil is really a little interesting, so he is also interested, so he simply called this guy's catties and taels again, and asked: "Well, you are indeed right to do this, there is really no need to bother to find a floor, even if it is only the current scale, the Phoenix Cinema Line is enough to dominate Hong Kong." Tell me about the area where you're going to build a super studio, do you have any suggestions or ideas? ”

Phillips Young nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I have to complain, Hong Kong is really too small, I have only seen Tokyo have a little more people than Hong Kong." Tsim Sha Tsui East is already a relatively loose place, but there are only 19 buildings piled up on less than a square kilometer of ground, and there are four more under construction or about to start, and I don't think it will be long before someone will operate the remaining three small plots.

The construction site we bought was the one that Chinachem Group was preparing to build the group headquarters, and the foundation was quite good, and to be honest, it would be a pity if only the super cinema was built. Not only will the value of the land not be reflected, but it will also be severely weighed down by other surrounding buildings, and only a five-story cinema will be built. With two more floors of offices and a large lobby, it can only be flush with the twelve-storey Nanyang Center a few steps away. Maybe a little worse.

Of course, the location of Tsim Sha Tsui East is indeed very good, department stores, shops, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, residents, entertainment venues, these business district elements are all there, and there is the Hong Kong Polytechnic as a huge source of audiences, and the location is close to the sea, where the conditions and environment for building a super cinema are much better than those on Hong Kong Island. Especially in the future, after Hong Kong's more and more development, its advantages will be more obvious.

I also have an idea about the small plots of land that I just mentioned. If we can win one of these pieces and build a Hong Kong Film Museum, it will be of great benefit to further enhance the status of Phoenix Culture in the Hong Kong film industry, and even enhance the status of film in the city of Hong Kong.

Of course, there is also a downside there, and nightclubs have opened downstairs in several buildings, which also increases the safety risks. All kinds of idle people and gang members often gather there, and it is easy to breed vicious incidents, and law and order is a problem.

That's all I can think of now, and without a map in my hand, many things are not specific enough, and if I were on the spot, it would be more intuitive. ”

Mo Fei listened and nodded. didn't say anything, but in his heart he gave Phillips Young a high score, this guy can judge the potential of Tsim Sha Tsui East in the future at this time, and he can also put forward the suggestion of a film museum, I have to say that there is indeed something in his stomach.

Although Tsim Sha Tsui East cannot be said to be a treasure trove of feng shui in Hong Kong. But having a super studio there is definitely the best fit, as Phillips Young said. All the elements that can support the development of the cinema are there. The only bad thing is the problem of nightclubs, gang fights and fights are common, and one of the ten heroes of the future New Ngee An, T Tai Long was ambushed and hacked to death there. Super cinemas are different from ordinary movie theaters, and the flow of people gathered is too large, so it is necessary to ensure safety.

But this is not a problem, it must be solved in the future, but Phillips Young, this guy, is becoming more and more interested, I didn't expect that the American Phoenix Culture would have such a talent, and it would be really condescending to be placed in the film company.

Raising his head and looking at the Exchange Square building that towered into the sky in front of him, he secretly made a calculation in his heart, and said: "Since it will be more detailed and intuitive on the ground at the scene, let's go to the scene and take a look at it, and see which piece of land you said is suitable for building a film museum." ”

The convoy drove to the Science Museum Road, stopped in front of a construction site that had just laid the foundation, and after getting out of the car, Phillips Young pointed to a vacant lot opposite, and said: "This is the boss, about 5,000 square meters, and the land we acquired is just facing each other, next to the entrance of the undersea tunnel, and there is a small garden next to it, which is the best place to build a museum." The land to the south has been granted to the Fire Services Department, and construction of the Fire Services Department Headquarters Building will begin soon, with the Fire Department Headquarters here, the fire will be much smaller than other places, and it is guaranteed to be extinguished as soon as possible. ”

This guy is quite humorous, Mo Fei glanced at Phillips, nodded and turned to look at the construction site that Hua Cong Mao Group had received and was about to build a super studio, and said: "Your idea is really good, but let's talk about this later, you can tell me about your understanding of this place first, if you come to this area, how will you come?" ”

"Okay." Phillips Young studied economics and planning when he was in college, and after coming to Hong Kong to accept the construction of the cinema, he had already had a detailed enough understanding, and now let him say that this is really not stage fright, and immediately pointed to the surrounding buildings to explain to Mo Fei one by one.

"The building to the north of the cinema site is the New Mandarin Centre, which belongs to Kowloon Development Group, and the basement downstairs is a nightclub, which is very famous in Hong Kong. In the past, there was Gangjing Center, which was jointly owned by Sino Group and Chinachem Group; Across the road from the Centre is Billin Court, with CLP's power station downstairs and residential units upstairs. Behind the Billin Court are two plots of land that have not yet been owned, and the one opposite us is the only three remaining plots of land in the East Tsim Sha Tsui area.

The area behind the Hong Kong Crystal Centre is planned for the Hong Kong Science Museum, and a large area of green space further north will be reserved for public green space. To the west of the Gangjing Center is the East China Sea Commercial Center, which is a property built in Hong Kong and is the headquarters of the Kumagai Group of Japan in Hong Kong. To the west of our site is the Nanyang Center that I just mentioned. There is a shopping mall and shops downstairs, and the upper floor is used for office purposes. It is the property of Sino Group.

The construction site to the south of us was started at about the same time as the Chinachem Plaza, and a hotel will be built in the future, which is part of the JAL Group's property in Hong Kong. To the west of it is the Seaview Jiafu Hotel, I went to see it, the decoration is not bad, it belongs to Jiahua Stone, the strength of this company is far from as simple as it seems. ”

Don't say anything else. It is this guy's analysis of Jiahua Stone, I agree very much, now this company does not seem to be nothing, but a few years later, Jiahua Stone, which is now inconspicuous, has actually become the holding parent company of Galaxy Entertainment, an emerging giant in Macau's gambling industry, and it was really surprising at that time.

But it's just thinking about it. While walking west with Phillips Young, my ears also listened to his words, "The eastern half is roughly like this, and the western half starts from the Happiness Center next to the East China Sea Commercial Center, to the Tsim Sha Tsui Square to the west, to the Hershey Center further south, and to the Empire Center, Tsim Sha Tsui Center, and Wing On Plaza near the seaside. All are Sino Group properties.

There are also the Regal Kowloon Hotel under the Great Eagle Group, and The Royal Garden Hotel in Sun Hung Kai, as well as the Hilton Tower and The Peninsula Center. Shangri-La Hotel in Kwok Family, Malaysia. In addition, although the Immigration Department has been preparing to move out of the new office building in Wan Chai after completion, it will definitely not move within two to three years, which will also have a great effect on the flow of people in the East Tsim Sha Tsui area.

Universities, hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, etc. They are the places where the flow of people is the most concentrated, and there are so many favorable conditions. It is enough to make Tsim Sha Tsui East one of the most popular areas in Hong Kong. If all the buildings in this place can be integrated, it will be a complete small business base, forming a perfect small business district, but this is a bit too difficult. Of course, if only the east side is relatively perfect, the passenger flow in the west can also be used by us, but we have to worry that there will be a competitive situation on both sides, which will not benefit anyone......"

After Phillips Yang gushed out for a while, he was completely convinced that this guy was definitely a talent, not only could he figure out the foundation of every building in the entire plot in a short period of time, but even how to use these businesses to provide more convenience for the cinema was planned very carefully, and there was really a lack of such a person under his hands at present.

Stopping and lighting a cigarette, Mo Fei looked at the half-foreign devil and said, "Phillips, are you willing to stay in Hong Kong to do things, or not just in Hong Kong, but to leave the film company and work in a new company, responsible for managing and operating some of the businesses you are better at?" ”

Phillips-Yang didn't quite understand what Mo Fei meant, but he could roughly guess a little, this is the boss wants to promote himself, who wouldn't want to go to the next level, and replied happily: "Of course, staying in Hong Kong or returning to the United States is for the boss to do things, and it's the same everywhere." ”

Naturally, he heard the implied meaning of Phillips-Young's words, his enthusiasm and excitement were not for the company, but for the company's boss, that is, himself, this guy deserves to have Chinese blood, and he has more means than ghosts.

smiled and said: "Okay, you help me get the cinema things done first, as long as this thing is done beautifully, I will hand over the place of Tsim Sha Tsui East to you in the future, of course, this is just the beginning, how big your ability is, how much business will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Now Phillips Young really understands that this place in Tsim Sha Tsui East is not talking about a super cinema rebuilt on the foundation of Chinachem Plaza, but a commercial place in the entire Tsim Sha Tsui East area, although he doesn't know how Mo Fei can do it, but he believes that Mo Fei can definitely do it, just like his magic in movies and music, it only takes a short time to get everything he wants. And he, Phillips Young, will also become a well-known figure in the Hong Kong business community, which can be regarded as saving a little face for his father who was almost kicked out of Hong Kong at the beginning.

In fact, there is still a word he hasn't said, he is afraid that saying it will scare this half-foreign devil, Hong Kong is still too small after all, if it is just tossing in Hong Kong, it is really not interesting, as a traverser is simply a failure, where the movies of Phoenix Culture are sold, where the business will develop, this is what you have to get.

(To explain, I received a call at night at the beginning of the month, an elder in Changsha was critically ill, and this had to be rushed, and I didn't ask for leave in the chaos, and now I'm back.) Today was supposed to be updated before the morning, but downstairs I don't know whose puppy was abandoned, injured and abandoned by the owner, has been barking non-stop no one cares, I really can't listen to it, go downstairs to see the puppy is almost dying, immediately found a box and put it to see a pet doctor, but unfortunately, although the doctor is very conscientious, but the puppy was too seriously injured to be saved, and the way back was very uncomfortable. I buried the puppy, relieved my mood for a while, and now it's better. Another: Three watches tomorrow. (To be continued.)
