Chapter 531: A Shameful Waste

"On the issue of sole proprietorship, let's talk about it here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs long as Mr. Lee's projects in our country do not violate the law, then we will not have any thoughts about Mr. Lee's industry. "Since Li Mingbao has said it so thoroughly, Lao Wang doesn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, and there will be no results, how can Lao Wang continue.

"Of course, for businessmen like us, any industry anywhere will comply with local laws and regulations, whether it is an industry in Hong Kong or an industry in the United States, I abide by such rules, and in the mainland, how can there be exceptions.

Then I'll talk about my requirements for the theater chain now, so that the mainland can prepare, after all, this investment is not a small amount, and some things in the general details still have to be known to you. Li Mingbao said.

"Then I'll listen to Mr. Li's requirements for the theater chain, as long as it can be achieved, our country has an unshirkable responsibility." Lao Wang said with certainty.

"In fact, I have a certain amount of experience in the construction of the cinema chain in Hong Kong, but the experience in Hong Kong is not so suitable for the mainland. After all, Hong Kong is too small for the mainland, and although it has economic advantages, we certainly can't do exactly the same in other aspects.

It's like in Hong Kong, our joint cinema chain can make more than 100 movie theaters at once, but if it is placed on the mainland, it is impossible to do so, no matter which city it is, it is impossible for the current mainland to accommodate so many movie theaters. In fact, even if it is a joint cinema chain in Hong Kong, the construction of cinemas is too much for Hong Kong. Especially in the new cinema of our joint cinema chain, each cinema has at least four screens, which has caused some embarrassment of duplicate construction.

That is, there are more screens, far exceeding the capacity of the market, in order to get rid of the embarrassment of not making money, we will make a circulation port. Although this matter is a good thing for the entire East Asian film market, so that the entire East Asian film market can have a place for circulation. But in fact, at the beginning, to get out of this circulation port, for the sixth uncle, it was just to get rid of the embarrassment that the market could not accommodate.

With the current level of financial prosperity in Hong Kong, it is obviously unrealistic to support such a large market, let alone these cities on the mainland, where each city has more than 100 movie theaters.

If you want to give full play to the function of all the movie theaters in the discharge line, then these movie theaters will definitely be scattered, and even places like Beijing, in my plan, will not open more than ten movie theaters. In second-tier cities, there will be no more than five at most.

All in all, for the cinema chain formed by the cinema on the mainland, my plan is to build a total of 300 movie theaters, so that the function of the cinema can be brought into full play and the problem of waste will not occur. Li Mingbao explained very seriously.

The prosperity of Hong Kong films was originally a deformity, and at the beginning, more than 100 movie theaters came out in one go, and it seemed that everyone was rich and rich, occupying more than 90% of the entire Hong Kong film market share in one fell swoop. But such a price is also huge, if there is no circulation port to divert the screen projection capacity, relying solely on the local market in Hong Kong, want to let the cinema run at full speed, it is not realistic at all, in the end half of the cinema can work normally, it is already the best choice, as for the other half, either continue to bleed, or directly dismantle and replace with other industries, want to rely on the cinema to make money, it is impossible.

Fortunately, with the circulation port, it can turn passive into active, which can be regarded as reducing the burden of Li Mingbao and his bosses. But this kind of construction has also given Li Mingbao and others a profound lesson, the movie theater is not the more you build, the better, you must have a clear plan, so as not to make things far beyond the market capacity, so that you can't complain about others if you lose money.

With this lesson, Li Mingbao will naturally be much more cautious in building movie theaters on the mainland, even in a place like Beijing, Li Mingbao does not plan to build many movie theaters, ten movie theaters, for the current capital, is already quite a saturated number, in this era when it can be regarded as a suburb outside the second ring road, Li Mingbao builds more movie theaters, it is meaningless, and in the future, more movie theaters may be made because of the expansion of the capital.

But that's also a matter for the future, at least for now, even within ten years, Li Mingbao does not plan to build more movie theaters, and the establishment of such movie theaters is completely a loss-making business. Of course, if Li Mingbao is ready to take more land and build these movie theaters, it will not be a loss.

But with Li Mingbao's current status in the mainland, if he wants to take the land or something, he doesn't need to use the guise of a movie theater at all, he can just buy the land directly, his current conditions are better than Li Chaoren, why bother with a wrong idea? Even if Li Mingbao has enough money, he can completely help the mainland build highways, this is the real lucrative business, a fee is collected for decades, and the profits of the cinema are not worth mentioning at all on these projects. But Li Mingbao has no intention of changing careers now, it's better that he doesn't touch these things, and honestly develops the entertainment industry, and the final achievements will not be low, so why grab these money that is destined to be bloody?

At this time, Lao Wang never imagined that Li Mingbao's thinking would diverge so widely, just talking about the construction of the cinema, but he suddenly spread his thinking to the problem of land and highways. I have to say that sometimes Li Mingbao's thinking is really broad.

Fortunately, Li Mingbao is just a few ideas, and the generation of these ideas is only a matter of a moment. Even Lao Wang, who was sitting opposite Li Mingbao, didn't feel it at all, let alone feel Li Mingbao's thoughts, Lao Wang was already frightened by Li Mingbao's handwriting at this time.

The investment amount of 300 million US dollars, Lao Wang has known for a long time, so it is not surprising that he was frightened by Li Mingbao said that the 300 million US dollars will build 300 movie theaters in China.

300 movie theaters, if they are placed in Hong Kong, it will definitely be able to collapse the Hong Kong film market, and even if it is the most popular movie, maybe the attendance rate can reach 30%, which is already good news.

But these 300 movie theaters should be placed in the mainland, and it is the entire mainland market, so these 300 movie theaters are really not much, let alone not much, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as a drop in the bucket.

300 movie theaters in the mainland market are like sprinkling pepper noodles, and maybe even all the first- and second-tier cities are not satisfied. Originally, Lao Wang thought that Li Mingbao's investment of 300 million US dollars would lead to about 1,000 movie theaters, but he didn't expect Li Mingbao to build 300 movie theaters.

Isn't that a joke? What role can 300 cinemas make? What's more, it took $300 million to build 300 movie theaters, isn't the investment of your Li Mingbao movie theater equivalent to one million US dollars? When did such extravagant cinemas appear on the mainland?

Although this investment is Li Mingbao's investment, the money is also from him. The mainland should not have asked about anything in the first place. But Li Mingbao is really too wasteful to build a movie theater like this, what does a million-dollar movie theater look like, Lao Wang couldn't imagine that when such a movie theater is established, the tickets will still be a dime when the time comes, and God knows how many years it will take to pay back?

This is not the most important thing, the problem of Li Mingbao returning to the original is difficult, the key is how many people in the mainland can afford such a movie theater now? This is an important thing, although Li Mingbao's purpose in building a movie theater is nothing more than to make money, but the mainland is not without other ideas on this project.

At present, the domestic entertainment industry is not developed, especially things like movie theaters, to be honest, they cannot meet the needs of the people. However, due to the mainland's investment in this area, there is not much money, and there is not so much money to meet everyone's needs.

300 million US dollars may not be a large amount of money for the entire mainland market, but in Lao Wang's idea, or in the idea of the entire mainland high-level, the movie theater made by 300 million US dollars must at least solve the needs of a large part of the people.

But if Li Mingbao wants to do this, he will get 300 movie theaters out, not to mention satisfying more people, even if it is to meet the needs of the masses in first- and second-tier cities, it is not easy, and what the mainland needs most now is not high-quality movie theaters, but large-scale movie theaters. This can not only meet the spiritual needs of the people, but also make the mainland's film market more dynamic, or some political needs that could not be met at all before, can also be achieved through Li Mingbao's cinema, don't forget, many films on the mainland are very political, in the past, in order to show these films, many times need an open-air environment, in terms of comfort, there is no way to compare with the cinema at all.

Now there is such an opportunity to improve the environment of the cinema, even if it is wholly owned by Li Mingbao, it is an achievement, isn't it? But Li Mingbao only has 300 movie theaters, how can this meet everyone's needs? Isn't that?

Therefore, Lao Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Li, Boss Li." You say 300 million US dollars, just build 300 movie theaters? It's not appropriate. It's basically the equivalent of a million dollars to be able to build a movie theater.

I don't know how much it costs to build a movie theater in Hong Kong, anyway, in our country, the establishment of a movie theater does not require so much money at all. With so much money to make only one movie theater, it's a complete waste. You can't spend money like this, can you? ”
