Chapter 191: The More the Merrier (Part 2)

"At this price, it is naturally easy to talk about and negotiate, so for such a large amount of work, we have prepared a fund of two million US dollars for the joint cinema chain, whether it is manpower, machinery, or materials, all of which will be provided by you, and then in the shortest possible time, we will get all the cinemas under our joint cinema chain well." Li Mingbao said.

"How much? Two million dollars? Hearing Li Mingbao's price, Zheng Wenyun was stunned.

Seeing Zheng Wenyun's appearance, the sixth uncle's brows furrowed again, he really couldn't listen to Li Mingbao's words, how could he let others do business at a loss for just two million dollars? It was originally an opportunity to deal with each other well, but if you don't change your strategy now, you will definitely not receive any good results in the end.

So the sixth uncle didn't wait for Li Mingbao to speak, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Two million dollars is less, or three million dollars, right?" After all, this amount of work is indeed not small, and you can't help but make a little money. ”

Zheng Wenyun, who was originally stunned there, was a little dizzy after hearing the sixth uncle's offer. If it weren't for the firm willpower, Zheng Wenyun would have planned to faint with such excitement.

But fortunately, Zheng Wenyun is also an excellent person sent from the mainland, so after being stunned for a few times, he immediately explained: "Mr. Shao, I really didn't expect that doing a project would be so profitable, even the price that Mr. Li said before was beyond my imagination, I didn't expect Mr. Shao that you actually bid higher, it is worthy of the old version, and it is really not something I can figure out." ”

In the future, I will often deal with Hong Kong bigwigs like Uncle Six, so Zheng Wenyun can't let him be stunned just now, which will affect these people's senses about him. Although Zheng Wenyun can pretend to be stupid and take the three million US dollars as the set price, he knows that the sixth uncle and these people are all human spirits, and it is definitely not a wise choice to take advantage of them on this issue, so it is better to be honest and win the trust of the sixth uncle. Isn't the main reason why Hong Kong people don't treat mainlanders so well is because both sides don't trust each other?

The sixth uncle, who thought he had made up for Li Mingbao's loophole, was really embarrassed after hearing Zheng Wenyun's explanation. Just now, I thought that Li Mingbao was a lion with a big mouth, which made Zheng Wenyun unhappy, but where could I have thought that in a blink of an eye, Zheng Wenyun said too much. This is a rare irony for the sixth uncle, who has always been stingy in business.

He is stingy enough to do business, and Li Mingbao is even more stingy than him. But even if he was so stingy, when he finally came to Zheng Wenyun, the price actually exceeded his expectations, and this was the first time that Uncle Six discovered that the prices in the mainland were really cheap.

Especially Li Mingbao's previous translation of the theory, now it is echoing in the mind of the sixth uncle, the renminbi is not important to the mainland, but the hard currency of the dollar, even if it pays more renminbi in, it is not important to the mainland.

Although Hong Kong is the largest black market for RMB, and the value of RMB is not worth much at all in the eyes of Uncle Six, Zheng Wenyun actually said that he made a profit in a loss-making transaction like now, which is really very incomprehensible to Uncle Six. You must know that currency value is a problem, but for such a decoration thing, you have to get valuable materials, and materials are such things, in fact, they are also hard currency, and they are valuable in the market, but this Hong Kong price transparent thing, in the mainland, it seems that it is not popular, so that the sixth uncle wants to go to the mainland to sell materials.

The sixth uncle didn't know that the mainland side was eager for foreign exchange, and if one million US dollars were to be put on the mainland for investment now, the provincial party committee would have to receive it, and if 10 million US dollars were put over for investment, even the central leaders would be alarmed. Now here in Li Mingbao, on the premise of not having to sell resources, he can make two million dollars just by producing some manual and ordinary materials, and anyone on the mainland thinks that this is a business that makes money and does not lose money.

Zheng Wenyun's complicated feelings, the sixth uncle was too lazy to pay attention to it, but he did see a business opportunity from this, if he really handed over the project to these people in the mainland, it would save too much money. At the same price, under the work of people in Hong Kong, they may only be able to complete half of the project, or even less.

But if it is put in the hands of a mainland construction company, the same price can immediately more than double the effect. Uncle Sixth won't pay too much attention to small projects, but a big project like the renovation of the theater, even if it is a little cheaper, it is calculated according to millions of Hong Kong dollars, not to mention Li Mingbao's doing this, the funds saved are tens of millions. With such an extra amount of money, it will be much easier to keep accounts when it comes to purchasing other things.

But Uncle Six thought about it, instead of engaging in semi-finished products, it was better to do it in one step. With such cheap labor, if the sixth uncle doesn't squeeze it well, it won't be the style of the sixth uncle. Although he listened to Li Mingbao's words before, there would be no shortage of materials for decoration, but in the theater renovation area, Uncle Six was in the style of thrift and thrift, and there were some movie theaters that did not have much need to be renovated, and Uncle Six did not count them in it.

But now that he sees that the money spent on the transformation is so much cheaper, it makes the sixth uncle think a little more. Instead of spending money on the purchase of equipment, it is better to continue to invest more money in the renovation of cinemas, and complete the renovation of all cinemas at one time.

At least it won't be two years, and some movie theaters will be completely unusable, so ask someone to come and get it again. A single movie theater renovation has absolutely no advantages in terms of cost. Anyway, sooner or later, it will have to be changed, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity now, put it in place at one time, and save it will be troublesome in the future.

"Mr. Zheng, the labor fee of three million US dollars is not so easy to get, what we want is the renovation of the theater chain, and many movie theaters renovated by old theaters are actually to be demolished and rebuilt. When they were established, most of them were in the fifties and sixties, and the movie theaters at that time were not as standardized as the current movie theaters, and it was completely impossible to compare with modern movie theaters in terms of space utilization.

And these movie theaters all need to be demolished and rebuilt. A new movie theater will be built on top of the original foundation. And such a new cinema should be at least three floors, and a cinema that is too small or too far away may not do this, but the cinema in some areas must be done in this way, and they must be made into a new leading cinema, and this kind of project is not a small number. At least in Hong Kong, there is no engineering company that can make it for only three million dollars. That's why we have so much expectation from you this time. "Speaking of taking advantage, Uncle Sixth is definitely an expert, he lost an opportunity just now, and immediately got down a pit in front of Zheng Wenyun.

At this time, Zheng Wenyun, who had lost his square inch because of the news of the US dollar, gradually recovered his true colors. Although he is a mainlander, he is no stranger to the hungry situation in Hong Kong, and what kind of virtue is the construction company in Hong Kong. Zheng Wenyun also knows.

So as soon as Uncle Six's additional words came out, Zheng Wenyun knew that Uncle Six was slaughtering him and the construction company on the mainland as Kaizi. Even if Zheng Wenyun attaches great importance to dollar income, he can't treat himself as a Kaizi, reasonable and responsible, but he can't let Hong Kong people go too far. This is the most common sense thing on the Xinhua News Agency's side.

The U.S. dollar may be an indispensable thing for their mainland, and even for the sake of the U.S. dollar, it is not impossible to suffer a little loss. Especially after Li Mingbao's sixth uncle and their local tyrant threw out three million US dollars, Zheng Wenyun was even more unlikely to give up such a Kaizi.

So Zheng Wenyun pretended to be misremembered and said: "I'm really sorry, I miscalculated just now, if you really want to do it like Shao Daheng, then we will lose a lot." We know a little bit about the situation on the United Cinema Line. Although US$3 million is a lot, it is less than HK$25 million when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Although so much money can buy a luxury villa for anyone, it is a bit lacking for the big project that Uncle Sixth said. I remember that the construction companies here in Hong Kong are not cheap.

Although I can give you face on behalf of the construction company on the mainland, and ask for less money, but it is not possible to let the local company in Hong Kong do it, at least the cost of more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars, and in terms of labor and materials, there is no way to compare with our people. The better the quality, but why the least price? This is suspected of bullying our mainlanders. ”

Although in fact, this is beneficial to both parties, the mainland side has obtained affordable foreign exchange, and Li Mingbao and their others will not only make their movie theaters go up a grade because of the intervention of the mainland construction company, but also the cost is not so large.

But in business, although this matter is beneficial to both sides, both sides are not willing to suffer. Even the sixth uncle directly said it, if he didn't know that the construction company on the mainland was strong and the work was progressing quickly. Why do they go to the mainland to find a construction company? Isn't it okay to find people in this industry in Hong Kong? There are so many reasons, but the main reason is that the fees on the mainland are cheaper. Without this advantage, why would Li Mingbao and his family go all the way to let a mainland construction company come to Hong Kong to help?

Although Zheng Wenyun knew that this condition was already very good, he wanted to talk about it again, after all, being able to take advantage of a little bit is a little cheap, compared to Li Mingbao who can easily earn US dollars in Hollywood, the mainland does not have such a good preferential treatment, and now the vast majority of China's foreign exchange reserves are either brought over by other people's investment, or the benefits obtained from selling primary resources.

This situation is very tangled, and now there is such a good opportunity to get dollars, Zheng Wenyun plans to get one more dollar for one dollar, and if he can get ten thousand more, he will get ten thousand, anyway, both sides treat each other as fish in water, and it is no problem to slaughter a few knives, as long as they get actual benefits, how to get black.

But which of these people sitting here is not a human spirit, when he saw Zheng Wenyun's eagerness for the dollar at the beginning, he understood that Li Mingbao's words were absolutely not wrong, at this time, everyone was stingy, especially the sixth uncle, where could Zheng Wenyun pick up the cheap? So the sixth uncle ignored Zheng Wenyun's bargaining at all. An attitude that you can call people if you like to call them, and forget it if you don't want to call people, it is a piece of hob meat.
