"Manager Wu, Mr. He has arrived, in the reception room." As soon as he entered, a young man in his twenties came running up and said:

"Okay, got it." Wu Bo nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Haiyang come to meet, this is the owner of our theater, Mr. Lei, to inspect the company, you will call everyone over to meet in a while!" Because Lei Weidong came to the cinema for the first time, Wu Bo introduced Lei Weidong.

"Hello Mr. Lei, I'm Feng Haiyang, the projectionist of the theater, just call me Xiao Feng!" Feng Haiyang said enthusiastically. You know, this is his own food and clothing parents, although it seems that Lei Weiwei is much younger than himself.

"No, you're older than me, I'll still call you Brother Feng!" Lei Weidong has not yet adapted to his current identity, and unconsciously regarded himself as himself who did sales work in his previous life.

"Adong, you can call him Haiyang, you don't need to call Brother Feng or anything. And Xiao Feng, you go to get busy first, let's go over by ourselves, don't forget to explain your affairs! ”

"Okay, Manager Wu, I'm going to the screening room." Feng Haiyang immediately flashed.

"Let's go! Adong! Wu Bodao:

"Okay." Lei Weidong was afraid for a while, and it seemed that he had to adapt to his current identity as soon as possible. Don't wait for the old to think of himself as the salesman who begged everywhere in his previous life.

Now I'm the boss. Know that you are a time-traveler, and this world is unique. You don't need to ask for help, you are born rich.

Walking into the lounge, several people sat on the sofa, and in the middle was a person who looked to be in his forties, this person was He Guanchang, this was the first celebrity Lei Weidong saw, and he was inevitably a little excited.

He Guanchang worked at Shaw Brothers in his early years and has formed an indissoluble bond with film. He left Shaw Brothers in 1970 to form Jiahe Film with Chow Tai Heng and Liang Feng, and in 1994 became a listed company in Hong Kong, making it the most influential Chinese film entertainment company.

Jiahe is the largest Chinese film distributor and cross-regional cinema operator in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, integrating film production, distribution, screening and film financing.

He Guanchang's Jiahe films mainly started as an independent producer, and the earliest artists under its umbrella were represented by Li Xiaolong, with Li Xiaolong's "Tangshan Big Brother", with a box office of more than 3 million, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong films at that time.

At the end of the 70s, He Guanchang signed Cheng Long again, and with Cheng Long's many action movie performances, he had rushed out of Hong Kong and entered Hollywood in the 1980s.

He Guanchang and Cheng Long have a close relationship, and the two often admit in public that they are righteous father and son.

In 1997, He Guanchang died of illness at the age of 72. It is said that Cheng Long made a thrilling jump from the Rotterdam Building in the Netherlands without taking any safety measures during the filming of the movie "Who Am I" in honor of Mr. He Guanchang.

In addition, He Guanchang and a generation of singers and actresses Mei Yanfang are father-daughter (Mei Yanfang and He Guanchang were also known as "He Jiannan" after the contract), and Mei Yanfang also attended He Guanchang's funeral as a relative.

It can be said that He Guanchang has left an indelible mark on Hong Kong films, especially Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long, the pillars of Jiahe Company in different periods, were signed by He Guanchang, without He Guanchang, there would be no glory of Jiahe.

It can also be said that if Lei Weidong enters the film industry in the future, He Guanchang is impossible not to make friends.

"Mr. He, I've kept you waiting for a long time, Ah Dong is too late for some things." Wu Bo explained:

"It's okay, something so big has happened, the virtuous nephew should rest more!" He Guanchang responded unconcernedly.

"However, I also want to say a few words to you, my father and I have always said that we are very good friends, and I am also very sad that something like this happened, but people cannot be resurrected from death, and the way you are now disappoints me too much, you must cheer up as soon as possible, focus on your father's inheritance, your parents can watch you from heaven!"

"Thank you, Uncle He." Lei Weidong really doesn't want to say the word uncle, he is a generation shorter for no reason, you know, he wants to become the richest man in the world.

In the future, he will also be a tycoon-level figure in the entertainment industry, if he is a generation lower than He Guanchang, he will suffer a lot of losses in the future to compete with Jiahe. But it is not possible if you don't call it, and whoever calls someone else a friend to his father.

"I'm fine now, and I will have to learn more from Uncle He when I have the opportunity in the future!"

"There, the virtuous nephew is polite!" For Lei Weidong's flattery, He Guanchang is also very useful, and he is very happy with Lei Weidong's attitude.

After a few polite words, the conversation got to the point.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the theater, Lei Weidong took the initiative to hand over the right to negotiate to Uncle Wu and watched and studied by himself.

But in the process of negotiation, Lei Weidong had enough understanding of Jiahe's strength.

There are two major cinema chains in Hong Kong (leftist cinemas are not counted, they are purely soy sauce at present) Jiahe and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and Hong Kong movies are basically released in these two cinemas, as for Anle Cinemas, due to the fact that it mainly screens Western films and the scale, it is not very competitive in Hong Kong at present.

Due to the monopoly of Hong Kong films, not only independent film companies are exploited by cinemas, but also theaters themselves.

Because there can't be a new movie that is only released in one or two theaters. If you want to join the theater, you will be exploited by the theater, and the franchise fee is very high. If you rent the theater to a theater company, the rent will be very low.

This time, when the lease of the theater expired, Wu Bo wanted to double the rent if he signed the contract again.

After all, the last contract was signed in 1974, and the house price at that time was not comparable to now, in 1974 the house was 500 yuan per square meter, and a 40-square-meter house could be bought for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

And now, last year, the house price rose to 2,000 yuan per square meter, which can be said to have increased by 4 times. It is very generous to double the rent of the theater.

However, Jiahe took advantage of the weakness that the Lei Family Theater could only be rented to Jiahe, and refused to increase the price. Be sure to sign a 3-year lease contract at the original price.

It can be said that the two sides do not want to give up to each other, where is the stalemate. However, it can be seen that Wu Bo is a little insistent enough. There's no way, the theater can't be rented to Jiahe, and the price given by Shaw Cinemas is even lower.

Seeing this, Lei Weidong couldn't help but sigh, why did he see the introduction of Hong Kong theaters in his previous life, Hong Kong theaters had been decreasing before the end of the 70s, and it was not until the 80s that the emergence of the Golden Princess Cinema Line began to increase the number of Hong Kong theaters. It's all because the theater chain is too strong, and the theater itself can't make money at all.

"Weidong, what do you say, do you want to sign a contract?" Uncle Wu, who couldn't hold on, asked:

"Sign it, but Uncle He, I have a request!"

"What do you ask, as long as it's not too much, I will definitely agree to the virtuous nephew!"

"I ask for three years of rent to be paid in one lump sum, and if I agree, I can promise no increase in rent."

"The rent is paid once in three years, is the virtuous nephew waiting for the money?" He Guanchang asked.

"Yes, Uncle He has a problem?" Lei Weidong muttered in his heart! Housing prices in Hong Kong have skyrocketed in recent years, and investing money in the property market can earn at least several times more than those dead rents.

"Yes, since the virtuous nephew is in difficulty, being an uncle will definitely help. The rent can be given at once for three years, but the rent will be reduced by 5 points! ”

"Five points, that's too much!" Wu Bo hurriedly objected.

"I agreed, Uncle He, when will I get the money!" What kind of help, it's obviously a death for money. It's strange that I don't buy Jiahe when I develop it. Lei Weidong muttered in his heart.

"Uncle Wu, let me make up my mind about this matter, and I will explain it to you."

"Well, now you're the boss, after all." Seeing Lei Weidong's attitude, Wu Bo could only agree.

The next step was to speed up, and under the supervision of the lawyer, the two parties signed the contract and checked the check.
