"This negotiation, if it can't be successful, you will concentrate on Wanda Cinemas? This kind of large company, with a deep background, is probably not so easy to work with. In the car, Li Xiuxiu began to talk about the company.

Shao Shuaijun sighed: "I don't know how to do business, but I know that this is the best opportunity for us to control our own destiny." I specifically checked Wanda's situation this year, and I can only describe it as being high-spirited on the surface, but in fact it has been repeatedly frustrated......"

Wanda started as a real estate company, and in this era, real estate is the most profitable industry, and everyone wants to complete the real estate layout before others. However, there is a key problem, which is that investing in real estate requires a huge amount of capital, and relying on banks is never the best solution.

In 03, Wanda opened the square mode and built the first Wanda Plaza in Fengtian (referring to Shen ~~~~~~~~~~~ Yang). I thought it would be a road to wealth, but who knew that after the opening, the popularity was scarce, and the owner fell into contradictions and disputes, and even the news that Wanda Commercial Plaza was going to be demolished (in fact, it was demolished in 06).

Then, in many parts of the country, there was news that merchants sued Wanda Group, without exception, all of them were advertising and trademark fraud, and the popularity of the square was generally sluggish.

This has brought great embarrassment to the development of Wanda, in the absence of a third financing channel, Wanda's source of funds, one is a loan and the other is the real estate sales collection, these two ways have been used to the extreme, resulting in a debt ratio of up to 90% of the assets, which has been criticized by the industry (the specific reason I can only hehe, the expansion of capital is dark).

Therefore, Wanda is eager to go public for financing, and in July this year, it accepted Macquarie Bank's $88 million preferred stock consideration to hold 28% of Wanda's 9 commercial plazas, and the two sides plan to establish a new company to issue REITs overseas to be listed.

Unfortunately, the negotiations were lengthy, and there was news from above that a document would be issued to strictly restrict the acquisition of mainland properties by overseas companies, which would block the way forward for the current Wanda. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the current Wanda is the weakest Wanda, although it intends to enter the theater system, but there will definitely be no large capital investment.

"Wanda wants to enter the cinema line, which is one of the real estate models of Wanda Plaza, Boss Lin has the courage, Wanda Plaza is only rented but not sold. Don't put too much pressure on your money. Investing in cinemas has become a tool for making money, and this tool is not Wanda's willingness, but a last resort, because there is no other company willing to invest in theaters in Wanda Plaza. I think that our $30 million, although not much, can still be done by acquiring a stake in a part of the theater chain, and if not, we will continue to pre-sell the publishing rights of the "Twilight" series of novels. By the way, what is the maximum amount of pre-sale money that you can get from negotiating with a U.S. publishing house? ”

Li Xiuxiu thought for a while: "If you count the sales guarantee, it is estimated that you can get 50 million US dollars, but this will have a huge risk." In the unlikely event that the novel's sequel sells sluggishly, we will face a huge debt. ”

Shao Shuaijun shook his head confidently, he could see the future of "Twilight".

"Don't worry, the value of "Twilight" is beyond imagination, don't forget, we still have all the film rights in our hands, with the current popularity of the novel, if the film copyright is used as collateral, can we lend an additional $50 million to reach a total capital of 100 million?"

Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Are you crazy, 100 million, if you lose it, you can't afford to sell us!" ”

"Believe me, I can see the future of "The Twilight Zone" and the future of Wanda Cinemas. Sister Xiuxiu, the film market in the mainland is booming, and investing in cinemas is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, and the investment can be recovered within two or three years. Of course, I will not take it back, I will continue to invest when the investment is profitable, and we will participate in the construction of the cinema whenever there is Wanda Plaza. ”

"Ah Jun, I need to think about it."

Shao Shuaijun gave a reassuring look: "Don't think too much, investing in theaters is not something that can be completed in one or two years, we are not trying to grab food, but to participate in shares, solve the release channels of the movie, and the pressure on funds will not be too great." Wanda has too much to do, and it will not be too distracted by the theater chain, which is something that both parties are willing to do, and will find the best way to cooperate. ”

The profit model of the cinema chain is single, and the profit is not high, if it is not for the control of channels, Shao Shuaijun would not have disdained to participate in the cinema chain at all. The real big profit is the source of the industry, making movies. But if you want to make money in making movies, you can't do without the support of theaters, which is a dead knot.

Everything needs an industrial chain, and if Shao Shuaijun wants to have no constraints, this industrial chain must be comprehensive.

There are a lot of things, and when the clues are cleared, Li Xiuxiu will be clear.

The meeting with Zou Daheng was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.

In other words, tonight, Shao Shuaijun rarely had a night and a morning of leisure time.

"Hong Kong, I've been here a few times, but I haven't had a good stroll, Sister Xiuxiu, it's rare to have time, let's go together." It was already afternoon when the plane arrived in Hong Kong, and the sun was no longer as hot as noon. Parking the car at the hotel where he was staying, Shao Shuaijun pulled Li Xiuxiu out of the door.

Shao Shuaijun is dressed in hip-hop, Li Xiuxiu is also a simple T-shirt and denim shorts, with a large toad mirror stuck on his face, and the two of them look like a little couple.

Below the hotel is the most prosperous Causeway Bay area, and the two of them strolled along Times Square. Hong Kong is a place where every inch of land is valuable, with many high-rise buildings, and for Times Square, which is full of luxury, Li Xiuxiu does not have the same eyes as ordinary girls. Instead, he took Shao Shuaijun and walked towards the alley.

"There's an alley here, there are a lot of handicraft shops, and last time my sister came to Hong Kong, she brought me a bracelet, which was so beautiful. Unfortunately, I accidentally broke it, so we went to look for it, and here it is, I want to buy another one. ”

The alleys are bustling with many people, shopping against the remnant sun.

After a while, I found the merchant who sold bracelets, a very small shop, and the walls were covered with all kinds of bracelets.

"Sister Xiuxiu, let's see which one you like."

"How's this one?" Li Xiuxiu picked a pink jade necklace. The sleeve shook on the wrist, the necklace was exquisite, and the wrist was smooth and dazzling.

"It's good-looking, it's so good-looking." Shao Shuaijun slapped his ass.

Li Xiuxiu was very useful, she also looked at it and looked at it, and then changed to a yellow glass bead bracelet: "What about this one." ”

"Beautiful, very good-looking!"

"I think it's good, too." Li Xiuxiu's mouth couldn't be closed, and she trembled excitedly.

After a few seconds, he stared at a ruby green bracelet again: "This, what about this one?" ”

Shao Shuaijun laughed and took off an amber gravel bracelet from the wall: "Sister Xiuxiu, your skin is so white, wearing this is definitely the best-looking, I judge with a professional eye, it is definitely the best to set off your beauty." Come, I'll bring it to you. ”

I couldn't help but take Li Xiuxiu's hand, her ten fingers were slender, and her hand was delicate.

Li Xiuxiu's face showed two crimsons, and she quietly asked Shao Shuaijun to help bring them.

The amber gravel bracelet makes the skin appear more crystal clear, and Li Xiuxiu, who was already very beautiful, looked like a person in a painting for a while.
