Chapter 532: Outsourcing is a taboo
readx;
Lao Wang's wry smile was not pretending, but he really thought that a movie theater like Li Mingbao was really not in line with the interests of both parties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Neither the mainland nor Li Mingbao himself could accept such a distribution plan.
As far as the mainland is concerned, Li Mingbao's investment is not just a simple investment, nor is it just a movie theater chain problem caused by foreign businessmen. It is a major issue related to the direction of national entertainment life.
The mainland is indeed unable to get so much money to build a cinema chain for the common people, and the demand for movie theaters in the mainland can be said to be a rigid demand, especially in this era when there are not many entertainment means, watching movies is still an important way for many people to understand the changes in the outside world. The effect of this TV station is actually the same, otherwise, why did the TV station put so many programs, and then there were many imitators in China? Whether it's toad mirrors or jeans, isn't the reason why they are popular is because of the promotion of TV and movies?
If it is placed in the future generations, it is not so easy for people to imitate this kind of thing, but now that there is really an influential movie and television in the mainland, then it is certain to imitate dressing and speaking tone. Not to mention that the mainland can't avoid such a problem, even here in Hong Kong, wasn't it when it was broadcast on the beach a few years ago, weren't the merchants selling Xu Wenqiang's clothes also crazy?
Therefore, the cinema chain is a thing that Li Mingbao pays for, but for the mainland, it is also a compromise solution to the lack of funds for some films. To be honest, what the mainland lacks now is not the quality of cinemas, but the number of cinemas. If the number reaches a certain level, then it is no problem to get some high-end movie theaters out appropriately and let foreigners take a look at the domestic living standards.
But the problem now is that the mainland can't even guarantee the quantity, so why bother making these things that require quality, no matter how delicious the wild boar meat is, the quantity cannot meet the needs of people, and only the domestic ones are enough for everyone to eat. Quality or something, only after the quantity is sufficient, can we have the ability to pursue, obviously the mainland is far from reaching such a standard, so Li Mingbao's quality cinema is not so popular in the current mainland, which is why Lao Wang is so strongly opposed.
This is not only a waste, but a complete crime. Finally, when an investor like Li Mingbao came to get a theater chain, the conditions were negotiated, and you told me now that you would get 300 movie theaters out, aren't you playing people? How can 300 cinemas meet everyone's needs?
If you want to talk about this, in fact, Li Mingbao's consideration is also a little inappropriate. It's not that he doesn't want to get more movie theaters to occupy the territory, but thinking about the development of the mainland, if he occupies most of the rich territory, then his theater chain will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future, not to mention the people above, even if it is other theater companies, especially state-owned theater chains, they will definitely be unwilling, and it will be too easy to find Li Mingbao a little uncomfortable on their own territory. In order to avoid such trouble, Li Mingbao thought that it would be okay to occupy a part of the top market now, and as for other places, it would not hurt to give them to others, as long as the interests of these 300 movie theaters were guaranteed, then he would not lose anything in the future.
However, Li Mingbao did not think that the current mainland, where can you care about the problem of whether you occupy the market or not, and the most urgent problem they have now is not the problem of the market being occupied, but the question of whether the market can meet the demand. Li Mingbao's worries, the current mainland side has not thought of thinking about it at all, when you can't eat enough, can you make others think about what the full Han banquet tastes like?
So after hearing Lao Wang's words, Li Mingbao explained: "In fact, Hong Kong's movie theaters don't need so much money, unless the land is very expensive, otherwise the average movie theater will not cost a million US dollars."
The reason why I built a million-dollar cinema in the mainland is mainly because I want to create a star-level cinema brand. The main thing is to solve the high-end problem, in the case of the project and land cost is not much, the vast majority of the investment, our company will be used to buy high-end audio equipment. These things are not cheap to sell abroad, especially the top-level equipment, which is more expensive, and my plan is to have the kind of equipment that will not lag behind for at least five years, so the budget of one million dollars is really not a lot, so that the mainland can enjoy the top quality of the movie, this kind of approach is not a waste of money, right? ”
"It's not a waste, what is a waste? And you mean, a large part of the $300 million investment is going to be spent on the purchase of foreign equipment? Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Lao Wang immediately grasped the point.
"There is such a meaning, after all, the mainland does not have such conditions now, and this is also a last resort. If the mainland has equipment in this area, then even if it is to purchase equipment from the mainland, there will be no problem for us, but the key is that the mainland does not produce these things. If we want to create the best viewing effect for everyone, then the cost of these things is indispensable. Speaking of this, Li Mingbao immediately felt that something was wrong.
Purchasing top-level foreign equipment is not a difficult thing for Li Mingbao, but it seems that doing so does not have much benefit for the mainland. If the investment of 300 million US dollars should be based on its own expenditure, then the real US dollars that will be implemented on the mainland may be a little more than 100 million.
Thinking of this, Li Mingbao immediately understood that he had done bad things with good intentions. Just thinking about cultivating his own cinema brand in the mainland, but ignoring the question of why the mainland agreed to be a sole proprietorship of the cinema chain, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to see so much foreign exchange? If you put most of your investment into buying equipment, then the mainland will not be able to eat this piece of fat at all.
Knowing that he had done something wrong, Li Mingbao immediately remedied it and said: "Lao Wang, I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about this." I thought about letting people in the mainland feel the best movie effect, but I ignored where this investment went. If procurement is turned into a foreign order, there will not be so much foreign exchange that can be implemented on the mainland's side. ”
"That's right, Boss Li, you are really confused about this matter. If the equipment is purchased externally, then how can our funds be implemented? For you, Boss Li, the impact is not big, but for us, the impact is great. "Lao Wang didn't expect Li Mingbao to leave the equipment outside, otherwise he would have spoken a long time ago, fortunately Li Mingbao himself can figure it out, otherwise this matter will be really difficult to handle.
The quality of the purchased products must not be said, after all, there are a lot of foreigners who study this, and compared with the mainland, there is no comparison at all. But the crux of the problem is not that the quality is not good, the key is that the money must be implemented in the mainland, no matter what you are, you have to buy it in the mainland, otherwise you will cut off a large amount of money, what will happen to the foreign exchange income on the mainland?
But after Li Mingbao understood, he felt that it was difficult to do: "But is there any problem in purchasing such equipment in the mainland?" For example, there is not enough equipment, or the mainland does not produce this kind of equipment. If you don't have such equipment, don't you have to buy it outside in the end? ”
Li Mingbao's words were quite tactful. If it is a little straighter, it is actually Li Mingbao who doubts whether the mainland can produce such equipment. Don't look at things like audio circuits, it is not unusual to put it in the future generations, China exports this kind of products, not too much, that is, cheap, the quality is also good, although it can not be compared with the top foreign brands, but there is absolutely no problem with it.
But now is not the future, Li Mingbao is really afraid that there is no factory to produce such equipment in the mainland, or even if there is such a factory, the production volume is not large, and whether the theater can be satisfied is still a big problem. Li Mingbao thinks that there is no problem with the mainland, and the key lies in the equipment such as audio playback. Li Mingbao knows that many of the CCTV equipment are bought from abroad, and there is no domestic product at all, so isn't this saying that the mainland's equipment is very difficult?
The meaning of Li Mingbao's words, Lao Wang also understands it, for this kind of equipment, Lao Wang is somewhat impressed, so he patted his chest and said with a guarantee: "The equipment problem is definitely not a problem, our mainland is absolutely capable of producing these equipment, there is no problem at all in terms of quantity, there is a special production factory, and you can rest assured that you can use your own things." ”
Of course, Lao Wang also made a sloppy eye on this issue, he just said that there was no problem in quantity, but did not say whether there was a problem in quality. Obviously, on this issue, even Lao Wang does not dare to make a decision, after all, domestic goods, especially this kind of equipment, are basically learning Soviet technology, Soviet things, leather durable, stupid big black coarse, there is no problem, it is absolutely reassuring, but in terms of effect, let alone learning from the Soviet Union's China, even if it is the Soviet Union's own equipment, it is only usable, as for the effect, this is only hehehe, the requirements are really not too high, too high they can't play.
Since Lao Wang has talked about the topic to this point, and the procurement problem of this equipment is obviously only solved by the mainland, in this case, Li Mingbao can only pray that the goods from the mainland will not be too pitiful, and that there will always be problems when it comes out, and Li Mingbao cannot guarantee the effect of watching the movie.
Anyway, these things, in Li Mingbao's thoughts, will definitely not take too long, maybe five years, it will need to be replaced on a large scale, after all, these devices are updated very quickly in this year, and they can guarantee five years, which is already very good. And in five years' time, the effect will definitely be much better than now, and it will not be too late to talk about it at that time.
