Chapter 387: The Beginning of a Wealthy Family: The Chen Family Foundation
Chen Tiandu accompanied his father to chat casually about some business matters, Chen Yongping said: "The license of the cinema chain is settled, and it is estimated that there will be results after this paragraph." The construction of the theater has also been completed, and the trial operation effect is very good. The specific opening of the cinema chain is waiting to find a suitable time for the opening of the first cinema in the capital. β
"How many Matrix Commercial Plaza Cinemas are there in the first phase?"
"Fifteen, 107 big screens, the smallest also has six halls, and the geographical location is all distributed in the country's first-tier cities. This scale, as a private cinema chain, is definitely the first in China. Chen Yongping took a sip of tea and said, "But there is no problem with the theater line opening, but there is no need to think about prosperity." Domestic audiences have not yet developed the habit of watching movies, and the flow of people driven by it is not as good as the flow of customers in shopping malls. β
Chen Tiandu can't do anything about this problem, this is a contradictory problem. As a filmmaker, of course, he hopes that the theater chain will take more care of domestic films. But as a theater owner, he is very much looking forward to more blockbuster Hollywood blockbusters being introduced, even if it is a blockbuster Hong Kong film, those movie theaters in the province are often empty and have no business.
Although in the future, mainland film companies relied on their connections to monopolize the high-quality schedule resources of the cinema chain for a long time, and once squeezed out the imported American blockbusters to the point that they were far inferior to local productions in terms of the number of screenings, release dates, and screens.
However, American blockbusters are still at the bottom of the game, relying on one excellent film after another, constantly breaking the monopoly and constraints of mainland filmmakers, causing more and more theaters to separate from local film companies. Mainland theaters eventually turned to imported blockbusters from the United States. Take the initiative to provide them with more high-quality sessions and schedules.
But he knows better. As long as the door to cinema reform is opened in China, the domestic film box office will double year by year in the future. No matter how bitter it is, it's just a few years.
Chen Tiandu saw their lack of confidence, and strengthened his confidence in his father and second uncle, reminding them how the strategy of the commercial plaza with cinema as the core is how rich and profitable. Even if the two of them are still skeptical, but in the end, Chen Tian has the final say in this regard, and he is the professional.
"Dad. Second uncle. The family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it just so happens that everyone in the family is here today, and I have an idea to put forward. β
Chen Yonghe probably guessed his thoughts, and he could only encourage this kind of thing, "If you want to say it, family, what are you doing officially." β
Chen Tiandu smiled and motioned for Lin Zhiling to take out the information.
"What is this?" Chen Yongping flipped through it curiously.
Chen Tiandu explained: "That's right, the family's business is no longer limited to the entertainment industry, real estate, business, and even automobiles, mobile phones, and IT websites in the future. The brothers also settle accounts. If you don't plan well now, it will be even more difficult to divide the scale when the stall is bigger in the future. β
As soon as this remark came out. There was a sudden silence in the small living room. Even the grandfather and grandmother who didn't care about anything widened their eyes.
Grandma was sincerely proud of this grandson and said, "Is it a miracle that our family has reached the point where we want to form a family foundation, thank God." β
It turned out to be a family fund, which was much more than expected.
A family fund mainly refers to a fund whose funds mainly come from multiple members of the same family, whether in the form of a trust, an offshore company, or a single account or bank account, which can be collectively referred to as a "family fund".
The concept of family funds is popular in Europe and the United States, but it is just starting in China.
Family funds in the United States are different, they originated from the wealthy families of the Gilded Age, including Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon and other super families, and even family offices that need to be established to manage and pass on family assets.
In terms of purchasing power, these families are the real rich, and their families are called wealthy. If the ancestor has a title and can be hereditary noble, then the status is even higher.
And the assets of the individual rich, such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others, are far behind them. Two centuries later, although these families no longer have super-rich, the total assets controlled by these families are still in the tens of billions. The main reason why these families have been able to pass on for generations is that their family wealth is centrally managed through the GuΓ² Family Fund.
Chen Yonghe said: "We don't know much about this aspect. This home can be said to have been laid down by you, and you can continue to talk about what you have in mind. β
Chen Tiandu didn't sell it, and said: "That's right, I plan to set up a family foundation to make a long-term plan for the future generations or even more than ten generations of my family." β
"There is an old Chinese saying that it is only three generations to be rich. And in Europe and the United States, the real rich families, they will only get richer and richer, and the three generations of poor things rarely happen. Guy has a very scientific management of future assets. If the next generation of young people wants to start a business, as long as they apply for TongguΓ², they can receive a sum of money from this foundation to start a business. β
In doing so, you can also avoid becoming a rich second generation who stretches out their hands for clothes, opens their mouths for food, is lazy to eat, and behaves nonsense, and fundamentally cultivates their personal ability. Even if the business fails, there is a limit to the number of failures. If you fail many times, then simply go home and be an ordinary person, and you can still receive a lot of living funds from this foundation every year, and there is no problem in living. β
Chen Yongping said: "The idea is very good, our generation can endure hardship, it does not mean that the younger generations in the future can also endure hardship." β
Chen Yonghe said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly." I texture, this foundation, who will take care of it. If it is managed by a family, it will always be impossible to escape the human relationship. They are all descendants of the next generation, which is not the meat of the heart. If you don't have money, you want a little today, and a little tomorrow, and it's probably loose. Your Foundation is also just a joke. β
"Well, I thought of it too."
Chen Tiandu said: "My idea is to set up a Chen family office and find professional management talents to act as agents. and manage the part of the money that belongs to the family. These are different from corporations, corporations, and belong to independent family offices. In addition to providing investment and wealth management, the family office will also provide financial services such as tax filing, real estate purchase, and private jet for the family in the future. In other words, this is the greatest foundation for our family's prosperity in the future. β
β¦β¦
It is said that it is a family, and the current members are still very simple after all. But under Chen Tiandu's planning, it can already be foreseen that the Chen family will be a top wealthy family in the future. Lin Zhiling sat quietly on the side, listening to them discuss the future of the family. My heart is also up and down, when can I enter this family.
After all, the foundation needs steady steps and detailed planning, but now that Chen Tiandu has put it forward, it can be regarded as reassuring the second uncle's family. It also lays a solid rear for their family's increasingly large industry.
For specific operations, naturally there are two adults to be busy, and Chen Tiandu only needs to grasp the general direction.
Returning to the Matrix Musou Film and Television Company, Gao Shuqun was waiting there anxiously, his fat ass couldn't sit steadily, and he ran to the door from time to time to take a look. I don't know how many times it was, but when he finally saw a low-key Audi parked at the door, he hurriedly greeted it.
"Ouch, Gao Dao, it's you. It's been a long wait. Chen Tiandu was happy when he saw it.
"No, no, I just arrived at the company." Gao Shuqun smiled and said, "Isn't this waiting for you to sign and start work." β
"Okay, is the others coming, let's go in together."
Gao Shuqun said: "Almost all of them are here, Andy Lau, Li Jiaxin, and Bingbing are all inside." I couldn't sit still, so I ran out alone. β
Chen Tiandu nodded and walked in with him. There is no doubt that Gao Shuqun is so positive, it is naturally the movie that Chen Tiandu promised him at the beginning. When he was asked to shoot the TV series "Conquest", he promised to let him shoot a script written by Chen Tiandu. Now that "Conquest" has been released on CCTV, the ratings have been soaring, and this year is not over, and there is also the potential to compete to become the national champion this year.
As the starring role, Sun Honglei also followed the fire, and the film appointments continued.
On the contrary, Huang Bo, who has been with Chen Tiandu for a long time, does not have much chance of getting ahead.
The matrix Musou company is a little more unfamiliar, but the staffing is a lot more complete. Gradually, it became a big company. Walking into the company, people before and after saw it and shouted "Mr. Chen". Chen Tiandu also responded with a smile from beginning to end, and occasionally asked a few more questions when he met a new face he didn't know, after all, this is his own company.
"Boss, you're back, you really want to die." A young and beautiful woman walked out with open arms, and she couldn't help but say that it was a hug. It is Fan Binbin, who has not been seen for some time. People rely on clothing, beauty depends on makeup, this little girl's psychological elements are becoming more and more mature, and she is more and more adept at dressing herself. There is a faint posture of becoming a fashion queen, and no matter which angle you look at, there is only one word - "beautiful".
Taking advantage of the fact that not many people were paying attention, Chen Tiandu slapped her buttocks hard, "Even if you have a conscience, you still remember the boss." β
Walking into the conference room, all the movie creators inside were all present. At first glance, I saw Li Jiaxin with a smile like a flower, after all, they didn't have to "reunite after a long absence" after being separated for a long time. casually greeted Andy Liu, Ning Hao and others, "Brother Hua, I've kept you waiting." β
"Hehe, it's not a long time, we came early. Besides, you have to wait for as long as you are a great director. Andy Lau patted him on the back.
It's not the first time we've worked together, but this time, the relationship is more "intimate".
"Today is a film preparation meeting, and it is also for everyone to meet and know about the upcoming cooperation. You are all busy people, and it is not easy to invite Brother Hua and Jiaxin, and I will not delay everyone's work, so let's go straight to the point. Chen Tiandu spread out the topic, even if he officially started this new film project.
Everyone listened attentively, listened to his statement, and gradually got into the state of work. (To be continued......) I1292
