Chapter 93: Negotiating with Xinyicheng
After Chen Jie and the three of them left Golden Harvest, they looked at the time, and the three of them came directly to the Kowloon Hotel.
The negotiation between Cai Songlin and Wrinkle Huai went very smoothly, and Wrinkle Huai looked at the contract, except for the relatively long cooperation period, there was no problem with the rest. I also specially called Jiahe's legal team to come over and help take a look. After making sure that there was no problem, he signed his name on the contract and stamped it with the official seal of Golden Harvest.
Originally, Wrinkle Huai didn't need to be in such a hurry, he could have waited two days to find an opportunity to officially sign a contract. But when he heard Hong Jinbao say that Cai Songlin would come to Jiahe as soon as he got off the plane, he thought Cai Songlin was in a hurry. In addition, signing the contract as soon as possible also means befriending the real big boss behind Cai Songlin. There is also a way to save face for Chen Jie and Hong Jin. That's why I completed the signing in such a hurry.
"I didn't expect Uncle Huai to be in such a hurry, I thought I would have to wait a few days before I signed the contract." The three of them sat in Hong Jinbao's car and said.
"I'm also very strange, Uncle Huai is indeed a bit abnormal today." Hong Jinbao said.
"Hehe, I think Mr. Fu may have guessed the identity of the third son, so he was in such a hurry to sign the contract." Cai Songlin said.
After listening to Cai Songlin's words, Chen Jie felt that there was really a possibility in this regard. I didn't think much about it
"Regardless of him, it is generally a good thing to complete the signing, it is not early today, and I will accompany Mr. Cai to Xinyi City tomorrow. Try to get things done sooner. Chen Jie said.
"Then I'll trouble Applejack." Cai Songlin said.
"Mr. Cai, you are too polite." Chen Jie said.
"Ajie, don't call me Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai, you call the third brother directly. If you let the third prince know, you still keep calling me like this, Mr. Cai, you will blame me. Call me Pinewood. Cai Songlin said.
"In that case, then I'll call you Brother Songlin." Chen Jie said.
Cai Songlin smiled and nodded.
Sanran came to the Kowloon Hotel and saw that Lin Lingdong and others had arrived. Chen Jie hurriedly ordered the food to be served. After the wine and food came up, Chen Jie raised his glass and said
"This cup is for you." After saying that, it was dry.
When they saw this, they also dried up the wine in their hands.
"Okay, let's not say anything, let's hurry up and eat. You're welcome. Chen Jie said.
After a few people started, Ke Shouliang walked over with a wine glass and said, "Ajie, thank you for this glass, you look up to me, and specially asked someone to invite me from Taiwan." I did it. With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Seeing this, Chen Jie also drank the wine in the cup and said
"Brother Xiaohei, you are too polite, your flying car skills are rare in Hong Kong and Taiwan. If I hadn't done it sooner, I would have been talking about my small company. ”
Ke Shouliang heard Chen Jie say this, obviously wearing a high hat for him, so he laughed and said, "Ajie, I'm a rough person, I can't say anything." In short, I will do whatever you tell me to do in the future. ”
Chen Jie smiled and laughed at Ke Shouliang a few words, and Ke Shouliang returned to his actions. Chen Jie noticed that Ke Shouliang and several people in the Hong family class seemed to be able to talk very well.
After eating, Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao sent Cai Songlin back to the Peninsula Hotel, and the two left.
On the way to drive Chen Jie home, Chen Jie picked up Hung Jinbao's eldest brother and called Mai Jia. The better the time to meet tomorrow.
"I'm almost catching up with your driver, I said that your kid is worth a lot, why don't you buy your own car." Hong Jinbao scolded with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you buy a car, the point is that I don't have a driver's license yet." Chen Jie said.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have one that day!" Hong Jinbao said.
"I have time to get my driver's license right now!" Chen Jie said.
After listening to Chen Jie's words, Hong Jinbao glanced at Chen Jie in a daze and laughed.
"Brother Sanmao, what are you laughing at!" Chen Jie asked puzzled.
"Nothing. It's just that I didn't realize that your kid still has such an innocent side. If you buy a new car, the person who sells the car can directly apply for a driver's license for you. Hong Jinbao said.
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard Hong Jinbao's words. He never knew this, and his impression was still stuck in the 21st century driver's license method, and it seemed to him that it should be about the same now. But I didn't expect that there were not many cars in Hong Kong in the early 80s, and the driver's license was not so strenuous at all.
was teased by Hong Jinbao, and Chen Jie didn't care, but he wanted to see if the driver's license was really so easy to handle.
The next day, Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao came together to pick up Cai Songlin and go to Xinyi City, because Chen Jie and Mai Jia's appointment time was 10 o'clock in the morning. So the two showed up at the Peninsula Hotel around 9 o'clock. After Cai Songlin saw the two, he sorted out the documents and left with the two.
When the three of them appeared in the new art city, the reception staff did not lead the two into Mai Jia's office, but walked directly into a conference room.
Not long after the three of them walked into the conference room, Mai Jia and the others walked in. Chen Jie saw that the three giants of the new art city were here.
Hong Jinbao introduced Cai Songlin to the three giants of the new art city. Cai Songlin began to speak
"Believe me, the purpose of my visit today is clear. I don't know what a few people think. ”
"If there is really a five-component red as Ajie said, we have no opinion in Xinyicheng and agree to cooperate." Huang Baiming said.
"If you want a movie like your company's "Best Partner", there is absolutely no problem with five reds, but whether other films can get such a high dividend depends on the specific box office." Cai Songlin said.
"Can you tell me what the standard is?" Shi Tian asked.
"We are a theater company, of course, based on the box office. As long as the box office is higher, the more dividends you get. Cai Songlin said.
"Can you tell us about specific metrics?" Mai Jia asked.
"Of course, no problem, your company's movie box office exceeded 60 million Taiwan dollars. You can get fifty percent of the box office dividends, if the box office is between 40 million and 60 million, you can get four dividends, and between 30 million and 40 million is 3.5. Less than 30 million can only get three reds. Cai Songlin said.
The three of them didn't speak after hearing Cai Songlin's words, and after glancing at each other, Huang Baiming said
"Mr. Cai, I would like to ask, what is the standard of your cinema line? Is it a fixed time to be released, or is it a low attendance, or is it because of what? ”
"We are doing theaters, of course, we want to make enough profits, if a new movie does not reach 50% attendance for a week in a row, we will choose to force the painting, which I hope the three of us can understand. Of course, if the movie is a big hit, as long as the attendance rate is not lower than 50%, we will not paint, and even if the average attendance rate of the product is less than 50%, we will continue to show it in some theaters that can reach 50%, knowing that no theater will have an attendance rate higher than 50% before it will be completely painted. Cai Songlin said.
"Hehe, does that mean that as long as our movies maintain an attendance rate of more than 50%, even if they are screened for several months in a row, there is no problem!" Mai Jia asked with a smile.
"Mr. Mai, you can understand it this way." Cai Songlin said.
"I'm curious, wouldn't it make a lot less money if you run your cinema chain in this way! What do you use to compete with other theaters in Taiwan for the market! Huang Baiming asked.
After listening to Huang Baiming's words, Cai Songlin took out a document in the document bag and handed it over.
"Mr. Huang, please take a look at it, although our cinema chain is newly established, it is the largest cinema chain in Taiwan. I won't hide it from you, in addition to your company, we also contacted Golden Harvest. We do this to maximize the box office of each film. I believe this is good news for all of you as well. Cai Songlin said.
If wrinkled yesterday when he looked at this document, he could still suppress his face and not show shock. That Huang Baiming really couldn't be calm after looking at this introduction to each theater. The surprised eyes almost fell off the bridge of the nose.
Mai Jia and Shi Tian were both curious about what Huang Baiming was seeing. After reading it, Huang Baiming pushed this document to the two of them, and Mai Jia just casually flipped two pages and gave it to Shi Tian, looking at Cai Songlin solemnly and said
"We have agreed to cooperate with Xinyicheng."
