Liu Yi and the sixth brother played here for four days before returning to Huaxia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info said to be playing, but in fact, it is to visit the various companies under Dream Media.

And the significance of these four days for the two of them is also very unusual, after all, they are not Liu Anran, and they can accompany their daughters and hope to play with them all day long. A visit like this, where nothing is done, is a rare experience for both of them.

A month was spent in the time when Liu Anran played with his daughter. The news about the theater line, which has been waiting for a long time, has finally arrived, and it has been delayed for a long time compared to Edward's estimate, and now it is April 25th.

Fortunately, the good news has come that the two cinema acquisitions have passed the review. Although the theater chain controlled by Liu Anran is not as big as Emperor Entertainment, it is already firmly in the second place.

In this process, there are actually some small forks. It was not directly acquired by Liu Anran's original investment company, but a new holding company, "Brother Co., Ltd." was established.

The composition of this company is actually very simple, that is, the heads of various companies of Dream Media, including the president and CEO of Blizzard, all came over to participate. Another exception is Jobs, although the shares he occupies are also not very large, it is also a compensation given to him by Liu Anran.

He always felt that he took advantage of Jobs when he won Pixar, so he made up for him here. I have to count on Comrade Lao Qiao to develop Apple well, and his shares are all money.

There are a lot of people who are paying attention to this acquisition, and there are no popular films released recently, not to mention that reporters in the entertainment industry are paying attention to this matter. Everyone knows that the biggest use of these two cinema chains is to serve Dream Media.

"How is it, do you have any ideas for our theater chain in the future? You have to think clearly, when the company is almost taken care of in the future, this company will also be listed, and then it will not be the little money you invest now. After visiting one of the AMC movie theaters in Hollywood, Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"Andy, I don't think that's something we need to think about, is it?" Jobs looked back and said with a smile.

Liu Anran shook his head helplessly, "Although you don't usually use it to manage, but as an ordinary audience, you always have to put forward something constructive, right?" ”

"Actually, I think as long as the environment is better, the seats are more comfortable, and the viewing effect is better, then there is nothing that needs to be improved. What do you think? Jobs thought for a moment and said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Don't look at them, they are all big bosses of major companies, but they really haven't been in contact with the cinema industry. What meaningful suggestions did you give them in a hurry? The only way to say these are the most basic.

"Fortunately, the management of our cinema chain is still there, otherwise we would have to be blind to this investment." Liu Anran said helplessly again.

"Alan, I'll leave these two cinemas to you. You have just heard the opinions of the shareholders, the environment should be good, the seats should be comfortable, and the viewing effect should be good. ”

"I'll give you half a year to inspect the global film market, and after half a year, come up with a plan to upgrade and expand our cinema chain as a whole. My goal is not high, and now the gap between us and Emperor Entertainment is not very big, and my goal is to surpass him. ”

"All of this is done, and your fixed annual salary rises by 5%. It will also give you a 1% stake. Of course, the theater you renovate is not just the ordinary first theater, but the most profitable theater. ”

"BOSS, I'll do my best to finish it." Adam? Alan said with some tears and laughter.

It was the first time he had come into contact with a boss with such a style of work, and it seemed that the requirements were very detailed, as long as he did what he asked. But these requirements are similar to not mentioning, the key is to look at the supplementary instructions later, to make money.

However, for the sake of the rising annual salary, there is also the 1% stake that is really worth fighting.

He is also an old man in the theater industry, so he naturally knows what kind of films can bring more income to the theater after screening.

The income of a cinema chain mainly comes from three parts, one is the share of the box office, which is the largest source of receivables, but the gross profit is very low. Then there is the franchise income, and the gross profit of the franchise income is around 80-85%. The last piece is advertising, although the income is high, but the gross profit is really the lowest.

And the development trend in the past two years, it is difficult to take advantage of big film companies, and they basically follow the rules of the industry. Therefore, it is difficult to continue to increase profits in this area, and it seems that we will have to put some effort into the rest of the areas in the future.

"In fact, AMC has little demand for theater upgrades, mainly in Carmichael. I've studied their profiles, and they focus too much on the suburbs, and although they bring them a lot of income, the facilities in those suburban cinemas are very poor. And in the cinemas of these big cities, many of them are in danger of expiring their leases. Alan spoke again.

"Alan, it's not very difficult to find a problem, it's the most important thing to solve it." Liu Anran patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Our entire company system is a little special in terms of management, basically they are managing alone. Don't look at Edward's position at Dream Media, but more of his energy is spent on MGM. ”

"Now you are the same, you are the general person in charge of these two theater lines, how to rectify it, where to start, these are all up to you to decide."

"AMC is headquartered in Leywood, Kansas, and you can decide for yourself whether or not to move to Hollywood. In fact, it's nothing if you don't move, it's closer to you, that is, it's more convenient to communicate when there is something. ”

"And in the future, even if a film is released by a company under Dream Media, you can only take proper care of it, but you must not relax in the sharing, and you must ensure the profits of our theater chain."

Is this for Adam? Allen gave the bottom line, so that he didn't have to worry too much when running the theater. Don't look at yourself as the co-boss of two companies, but you don't put your resources on one side because of this.

There are many large and small shareholders in the theater chain, and Liu Yi, who is far away in Huaxia, still has a share, and he can't give up the interests of others for his own interests.
