On November 20, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Michael Murphy was inspired. Muhr sent a letter to the members of the organization, announcing that it had accepted the "Protocol on China's Accession to the WTO" on 11 November 2001, which would enter into force on 11 December, and that China would formally become a member of the WTO on the same day
Although this is news from the distant Middle Eastern city of Doha, Qatar, it has once again made the country boil, and after ten years of negotiations, it has finally come to fruition, and China and the global market will be more closely integrated.
There are three major events this year, Yanjing's successful bid for the Olympic Games, the national football team entered the World Cup finals, and China joined the WTO.
It seems that WTO accession has nothing to do with the Chinese people, but in fact it has a very important impact.
The first point is that equal treatment can be enjoyed within the members of the organization, and the trade barriers imposed by the organization cannot be said to disappear completely, but they will reduce a considerable amount of resistance. It can also attract foreign investment into the country, reduce tariffs, introduce market competition, strengthen cooperation and promote enterprise development, and so on.
Chen Bo is not unprepared, the first hand is to introduce BP funds to China, transfer Zhao Chuan from the group to be responsible for domestic enterprise venture capital, and establish B&P Huaxia Capital.
The second is directly related to him, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will continue to deepen the reform in the film market, this time the blade is aimed at infrastructure, cinemas!
At present, there are only more than 800 large and small movie theaters in China, with more than 1,500 screens. Not even a fraction of the United States. Even the cinemas in many cities are still old auditoriums, and even first-tier cities like Pengcheng only have about a dozen theaters.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television requires the formation of a cinema chain before June 1, 02, and only cinemas that join the cinema chain can obtain film sources. Otherwise, buyout blockbusters and account-sharing blockbusters imported from abroad have no right to play.
The theatrical system is very beneficial to film companies, saving a lot of time and resources. There is no need to talk about the screening schedule and sharing issues in the cinemas one by one, but directly with the cinema chain, and the cinema chain will be uniformly deployed to its own cinemas or franchised cinemas.
The box office share of a film is basically 6% to pay business tax and a special fund for film development, and the other 45% belongs to cinemas and 6% to cinemas. 8%-12% goes to the distribution company, and the rest belongs to the producer.
If it is a joint investment production, it has to continue to be divided, and the box office of a movie is about 35% in the hands of the producer. It's not hard to understand why some movies are more than three times the cost at the box office, and they still cry out about poverty.
There is really too little profit sharing, not to mention that there is no other profit point in China except for the box office. DVD piracy, the development of movie peripherals is unfavorable, so you can only blindly pursue the box office, increase the salary of popular stars, and then enter a dead loop.
Since Chen Bo has invested in the film industry, it is impossible to let go of such an important part of the movie theater. However, if you want to build a cinema chain, you need at least 8 movie theaters. He wanted to pull Poly Culture to do it together, but the other party had too much appetite and wanted to hold power every time.
Since the interests are different, if they can't talk about it, they can only play their own games.
Chen Bo is aiming at the local film market, first of all, Pengcheng Film Studio, which is a very small company, of course, compared with those big factories. It was only established in 85 years, and a total of twenty or thirty movies have been produced and distributed, and very few can do it. As for profit? If he doesn't lose 100 million, he is considered a cow.
Chen Bo knocked on Li Shusen's office with two boxes of tea.
"It's rare to have time to come over, how can I still learn to give gifts." Li Shusen saw that it was Chen Bo, stopped what he was doing and smiled.
"A little hometown camellia can't compare to those Longjing, Tieguanyin and the like. Here's a taste for you. "In the past, he always sent political achievements, which was much better than this tea, but today he is sending tea, and of course Li Shusen doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd.
"This is not your style, if you have something to say, just say it, did you encounter any problems in the process of business operation? As long as you don't break the law, don't break the law, just say come and see. β
"There is indeed something, one of which is that our industrial park is almost insufficient. I plan to build my own office building, but I don't know how the city is planning it now, and if there is any vacant land. β
"That's not enough for just one year? How many people are in your group now? Li Shusen didn't expect this humble small company to develop so fast now, and he was quite surprised.
"More than a thousand people, and that's not counting Yanjing's branch."
"So how much can you make this year?"
"Tengxun can have almost 3-400 million, ants 70 or 80 million, and the rest is to lose money and trade." Chen Bo said directly, anyway, he is not afraid of being audited, and these have nothing to do with business secrets.
"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, Skynet has sold more than 800 million." Li Shusen is very shrewd, let you talk about income, and you still leak a big head.
"Then you still have to pay taxes to the investment company. Ant Company smashed out more than 300 million yuan in half a year. Chen Bo complained bitterly, as the saying goes, crying children have milk to eat, and they must not show off at this time.
"Well, it's very rare for the Internet industry to be able to achieve the scale of yours today. What's more, there is also profitability, with a revenue of more than 1 billion a year, it only took 1 year to do it, which is really unimaginable in other industries. Li Shusen said with emotion, "The city government recently planned to plan a software information industrial park on Keyuan Road, Pengnan Avenue, which is specially planned for you high-tech enterprises." β
"I think it's okay to gather some small and medium-sized companies there, but for Pangu Group, the structure is too small, and after a few years, it will have to continue to relocate. Pengcheng's current development speed is too fast, and several Fortune 500 companies will definitely be born in the future. And now there is the Pengcheng Stock Exchange, as well as large financial companies such as Ping An, China Merchants and CITIC Securities. β
"So I suggest that the city government can set aside a special area to establish a super headquarters area for large groups where financial, technology, and logistics companies gather! Just like Manhattan in New York. The landmark buildings scattered everywhere will definitely be the new business card of Pengcheng. β
"Super HQ!" Li Shusen was shocked by this big idea, "It's a good idea, but I guess you definitely have something to add." β
"The Hong Kong Island next door in the financial, port trade and other industries with the footsteps of China's accession to the TO, will inevitably gradually transfer to the mainland, in addition to some bank headquarters in Shanghai, radiating Southeast Asia and the world's influence, absolutely Pengcheng is the only one."
"Where do you think this super headquarters would be appropriate?"
"How about Qianhai or Houhai?" Chen Bo did not use an affirmative sentence, but used a rhetorical question, that is, to give the choice to the other party.
Li Shusen frowned, and after a deep groan, he said, "Qianhai is a tidal flat, but I think Houhai is okay." β
Qianhai Bay is located in the east of the Lingding Ocean and the Pearl River estuary, which can effectively connect the economic development belt of the entire Pearl River Delta. In fact, Chen Bo really forgot that Qianhai is still a barren place, and the construction of DaChan Bay Wharf has not yet begun.
"Qianhai is relatively easy to plan and avoid various troubles such as demolition." Chen Bo said again.
"Looks like you've been eyeing that place for a long time! This is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two, and the city government needs to do a lot of preliminary research work and then bring together various experts and companies to meet. However, this is a good proposal, and I will report the situation to the above. What else is going on with you? β
"That, isn't our country joining TO now, I personally want to provide high-quality cultural services for the general public, so I want to set up a cinema line, but I am not familiar with Pengcheng Film Studio, and I hope you will give me a message."
I just talked about future planning, but nothing practical has been solved, and this is his original purpose.
"Your vision is very vicious, I'll ask Secretary Wu to help you contact you, if you can't negotiate, it has nothing to do with me."
After all, Li Shusen is in charge of the economy, and the direct unit of the studio really can't fight him, but it is not a big problem to come forward to contact him as the deputy mayor's secretary.
I have dealt with this young man a lot of times, and I have expanded a lot of ideas, and this super headquarters plan just now sounds really exciting. With a general election coming next spring, if the position of deputy mayor can be moved forward, it may be possible to realize such a huge plan under his own rule.
Li Shusen's heart was full of thoughts, and after Chen Bo left, he immediately dialed the phone on the table.
"Xiao Li, your idea is very good. Since it is a special zone, it is necessary to be bold and forward-looking, and you should first make a feasibility report, and then we will meet and discuss it. β
"Okay, old leader, I'll do it right away." Li Shusen hung up the phone and was very excited, and immediately began to write hard, of course, this is only part of the idea, he still needs to query the relevant specific data to make this report more perfect.
The day after Chen Bo went back, he received a call from Secretary Wu, asking him to go directly to Pengcheng Film Studio to talk to them Director Liu, and he also revealed some insider information, that he was already poor and couldn't open the pot, and the Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television had already had a headache, so Chen Bo didn't bargain too hard.
"Okay, thank you Angkor, you have time to come out for tea."
"Pull it down, what kind of super headquarters plan did you mention last time, I am now running every day to check the data and make a table. You're going to have to treat me to a good meal when you get back!" β
"That's fine, feel free to harass."
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, it seems that he and Li Shusen did not talk in vain, so this is on the planned agenda. However, such a large project involves the development of the entire city in the future, and it also covers too many departments, which is long beyond his ability.
When the time comes, as long as you leave me a good piece of land, you will burn high incense. Of course, this Secretary Wu is also a wonderful person, and he can make more friends in the future, and he can't go wrong. In terms of information ability, he should be more well-informed.
