After the two sat down, Chen Bosen took out a map from his briefcase and spread it out in front of Ling Shizhe, and said: "Boss, seven of the 36 theaters in Hong Kong have been completely renovated, and they are all renovated according to the standard courtyards you planned, but the remaining theaters can't be renovated, too many of those theaters are rural theaters, although their locations have great potential for development in the future, but now is not the time for transformation, as long as it is maintained, I think it is not too late to consider transformation when those places develop in the future." ”

Ling Shizhe briefly took a look at the location of the theater on the map, the current Hong Kong is not a highly developed international metropolis later, only the Central area of the whole Hong Kong is a prosperous and wealthy area, and the rest of the places including Kowloon, Tseung Kwan O, the New Territories and other places are still completely backward rural areas, Hong Kong is entering the golden era of development, and it has to wait until Nixon's visit to China and the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

At that time, the West lifted the blockade of China, and Hong Kong, as the only foreign trade window of Chinese mainland, was developing, and entrepot trade and finance would become Hong Kong's largest industrial income in the next decade.

Although the arrival of Ling Shizhe broke the original economic pattern of Hong Kong, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry in addition to light industry, high-tech industry has become the largest source of income in Hong Kong at present, but compared with the general trend of the whole world history, Ling Shizhe can not change anything, the only thing he can do is to take advantage of this general trend to develop himself, so that he can have greater influence and greater voice in the future.

Looking at the current map of Hong Kong and thinking of the prosperous Hong Kong in the future, Ling Shizhe felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, if the entrepot trade, finance, real estate in the seventies were the absolute mainstream of Hong Kong, and the entrepot trade was the largest income in Hong Kong, then in the eighties, with the reform and opening up of the mainland, the economic status of entrepot trade in Hong Kong began to decline, and real estate replaced entrepot trade as the largest source of income in Hong Kong, and then in the nineties, finance was the largest source of income in Hong Kong. This situation will not end until the Asian financial crisis arrives.

After that, Hong Kong's economy will continue to decline, until Ling Shizhe crosses over, the economy without industrial support is the biggest sorrow in Hong Kong, she is like a castle on the beach, all of them will be in ruins as soon as the flood comes, and the beauty of the past and present is just a mirage that looks beautiful.

After the return to the motherland, Hong Kong's economy has become more and more decadent, and it has survived completely by relying on the mainland's large number of blood transfusions at any cost, but the result of this has not only not helped Hong Kong's economic development, but has made Hong Kong's ills even more revitable, and the mainland's blood transfusions to Hong Kong have all cheapened those real estate predators in Hong Kong, and the people at the grassroots level have not received the slightest benefit at all, and there are more unemployed and poorer, and there are even more poor people living in cage houses.

Ling Shizhe from later generations knew that in order to completely change the ecological situation of the cage houses of the people at the bottom of Hong Kong, the mainland government and the Hong Kong SAR government took out the largest housing assistance plan for the poor, but the final result was all cheaper than those real estate predators, and the contradictions between the two poles became more prominent and acute.

Thinking of the various troubles in Hong Kong in later generations, young people in later generations became more and more alienated from China, Ling Shizhe, who frowned, shook his head unconsciously, Hong Kong, a small projectile land, has the highest population density in the world, and the labor cost is much higher than that of the mainland, although the high-tech industry was brought into Hong Kong by him, but it also pushed up the labor cost of Hong Kong even more.

After the reform and opening up of the mainland, the labor cost is unimaginably low, Ling Shizhe no matter what, will eventually lead his industrial center to the mainland, when the time is headquartered in Hong Kong, the factory in the mainland such a situation, what should Hong Kong do at this time? It's simply an unsolvable cycle that allows Hong Kong people to go to the mainland to pan for gold? This is not realistic at all, not all people are suitable for business, let them go to work with mainlanders, this is simply impossible, what is the average salary in Hong Kong, what is the average salary in the mainland, and that young man is willing to get a much lower income than the dishwashers in Hong Kong?

For Hong Kongers to hold senior positions? This is even more impossible, there are very few college students in Hong Kong, where are so many senior positions for them, not to mention senior positions, in later generations of China's countless college students and graduate students have broken their heads for a funeral parlor to move corpses, what is the situation in Hong Kong Those young people who have only graduated from high school education, except for selling coolies, there is no second way to go, but it is impossible to sell coolies for a lifetime, selling coolies to put it bluntly belongs to another kind of eating youth, don't look at your young age can do it, But once a person gets older, you can't sell it if you want to, not to mention that the income from selling coolies is so low, and it is completely unequal to his labor effort.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe has a deep sense of powerlessness, how should Hong Kong go in the future? In the past, he didn't think about this problem at all, but simply complained about the unscrupulousness of real estate developers, thinking that as long as he brought high-tech industries to Hong Kong, he could change the future of Hong Kong, but as soon as he saw the map of Hong Kong in this era, Ling Shizhe found that he thought too simply, he found that Hong Kong's problem is not to simply push everything on real estate and finance, and the biggest problem is the collusion between the British government and real estate businessmen to push housing prices and labor costs to an unattainable point.

From this, it can be seen what those so-called patriotic businessmen are paying for, and what he Ling Shizhe will deal with in the future is such a group of people, and if he doesn't pay attention to Ling Shizhe, he will be crushed.

What to do with them in the future? He was alone, and he had no allies against a group of people alone, and Ling Shizhe felt that he didn't necessarily have any advantages. Hong Kong has a large population and limited land, and it is inevitable that the price of real estate will be high, but these unscrupulous businessmen have pushed up housing prices to a daunting level by selling off-plan properties.

Well, off-the-plan? Ling Shizhe frowned, thinking: The price of Hong Kong houses in the future is seriously inflated, and the pre-sale is the biggest culprit, if there is a chance in the future, we must find a way to make Hong Kong legislate, oppose the sale of pre-sale, and the house is not allowed to be pre-sold in advance before the roof is built, so that Ling Shizhe believes that the real estate environment in Hong Kong will be much better, and the property price will not be as outrageous as in later generations.

But if he does this, there is no doubt that Ling Shizhe will offend the entire Hong Kong real estate developers, and even the Ling Group, his father, eldest brother, and the old courtiers and shareholders of the Ling Shizhe Group, by the time, Ling Shizhe found that he would be completely alone in Hong Kong, and what should he do when he was embattled?

"Boss, boss, what's wrong with you, what's wrong boss?"

Chen Bosen called several times in a row to wake up Ling Shizhe, and when he saw Chen Bosen in front of him, Ling Shizhe suddenly asked: "Manager Chen, what do you say, what should Hong Kong do in the future?" ”

How should Hong Kong go in the future, Chen Bosen was suddenly confused by his huge topic, how Hong Kong should go in the future This seems to be a matter for the government, I am just a small cinema manager, a professional manager, and I can answer such a big question there.

That's what he said, but as a subordinate, he couldn't answer his boss like this, and offended the boss this time, but he couldn't help but say the boss's question, and after thinking about it, he replied lightly: "Boss, there are many places in Hong Kong that are still in an undeveloped state, but I believe that these undeveloped places will be developed in the future, boss, you don't need to worry, after those places are developed, the transformation of those theaters is just a matter of time, and now we have changed it is useless, Those places are still too backward. ”

Ling Shizhe looked at him for a long time, and sighed in his heart: Forget it, I'm too anxious to ask him this question, this question is too big, far beyond his understanding, and even I don't know where Hong Kong's future road is. Let's take one step at a time, at present, do the things in front of you first, and the things in the future will be said later, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridgehead.

After thinking clearly, Ling Shizhe said: "You are right, although these local theaters are currently rural theaters and are still very backward, but the future potential is unlimited, these theaters should not be sold, if possible, we must buy the land around the theater, there is no harm to us, understand?" ”

"Yes boss, I will do it." Chen Bosen breathed a sigh of relief, I thought you were not satisfied with me, you first asked me how the future of Hong Kong should go, but it really scared me, I thought about this for a long time, then it will be easy to do, those land that has the potential to appreciate in the future, it seems that I need to care more.

Ling Shizhe didn't know that Chen Bosen misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was going to speculate on future real estate, and in the future, he bought a lot of land to build a theater, all of which were prime locations, and he didn't have to do anything, just the rent made Wanda Cinema Line full.

"That's it for the time being in Hong Kong, by the way, after the theater renovation is completed, are there any businesses willing to settle in?"

Chen Bosen thought for a while and organized the language and said: "Boss, although these theaters are in the bustling areas where people gather, but you know, there have been no films in the theaters, and no one has come to the theaters, so those businessmen...... Boss: I believe that in the future, those businessmen will definitely break their heads for a commercial position in the theater. ”

Ling Shizhe understands that after the renovation of the theater, there are no merchants in those commercial areas who are willing to settle in, if you want them to come in, someone must come to the theater to watch a movie, and only with popular businesses can they be active, and the merchants will settle in, and they will be willingly exploited by you and pay high rent.

"That's it for the time being," Ling Shizhe nodded, everything was difficult at the beginning, as long as he survived this period of time, he believed that the theater would improve, "Hmm...... How's the sourcing going, and how many studios are willing to bring their films to our theaters right now? ”

"Most of them are on the sidelines, although we have released the news of the cancellation of the theater base fee, but it is not an official notice, so they are not very positive.

"Then issue an official announcement and hold a press conference, Manager Chen, you are fully responsible for this matter, scare the official announcement, in order to calm their hearts, what about Golden Harvest, are you still unwilling to give up the distribution rights of the film?"
