"Father, I heard you siphoned off all the liquidity in the bar, didn't you?", Cullen angrily walked into Juan's study, he pinched his waist and walked back and forth, "Do you know, I can't even scrape together a thousand dollars now!"

Juan blinked and put down the book in his hand, a way for him to self-regulate. Whenever he needs to think quietly, he will open a book, and after reading it for a while, the whole person will be able to calm down. He looks like he's reading a book, but he's actually thinking, and he thinks it's useful and meaningful.

He took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put them in the glasses case, and by his age his eyesight had already begun to decline, and he needed reading glasses to read books. His slow movements made Cullen have another seizure, and Cullen couldn't stand Juan's strange habits. Sometimes the more anxious you are, the slower he becomes, but when he is in a hurry, you can only speed up the pace.

"I can't make up a thousand yuan, which means that I can still make up a few hundred yuan. If I'm not mistaken, all the liquor in the bar is made in our own workshop, and you just need to sign your name to pick it up from the warehouse. As for the rest, such as fruit and food, do you need a thousand dollars?", Juan was stunned as he said this, "I forgot, it's the end of the month." ”

As Illian's largest bar operator and liquor provider, Juan is also a reputable businessman, and his bar purchases are never cash-out, and he closes the bill at the end of each month. In fact, this is not that Juan deliberately pressed this money to embarrass those merchants, almost the whole world's big businessmen have this habit, and they do it for the purpose of "stability".

For example, the fruit merchant who provided fruit for Juan's bar suddenly stopped working, or was bribed by someone, or some other circumstance, and suddenly stopped providing Juan with fresh fruit. If there is no effective way to restrain him, then Juan is the only one to lose. But pressing a month's payment can avoid this situation to the greatest extent, if anyone wants to not do it, or temporarily provide goods because of other things, he will think about how the payment for the month that Juan pressed can be recovered.

This is an involuntary form of integrity that will persist unless the provider's prestige and status are on par with Juan's.

A thousand yuan is certainly enough to pay for fruit, but the problem is that the bar does not only serve fruit and drinks, but also juice, seafood, beef and mutton, and all kinds of cooked vegetables, bread and wheat kernels, which add up to a thousand yuan is simply not enough. Cullen was also about to settle the bill for the guys, only to find out that the bar had no money. After he asked where the money went, he was here.

He knew what Juan had been working on lately, and he put all his energy into it, as if he was obsessed. The family's money has always been managed by Juan alone, and no one else knows the specific situation, but today Cullen came here to ask Juan for money to settle the money, and he also wanted to ask where the family's money went.

It is only now that he realizes the seriousness of Juan's recent actions, and even the money used by the bar to settle the money has been siphoned off.

Cullen felt that he was not wrong in doing so, and even many people felt that what he did was not wrong, but he never considered that the money belonged to Juan, and Juan belonged alone. The money didn't belong to Cullen, it wasn't anyone else, it wasn't anyone in the family, they didn't even have a share! At least until he dies, only he has the right to dispose of how and where the money is spent, and no one else has the right to ask.

In fact, many rich people are faced with such a situation, they are very rich, and they will give their families enough pocket money every once in a while, and they have never considered giving the real "money" in their hands to these people. It is only after their death that these property rights and powers are distributed to the majority of the people fairly or unfairly in accordance with the will.

Similarly, the families of these rich people often have an unrealistic illusion, they will feel that the money in the hands of the rich also belongs to them .......

This is very troublesome, and this is also the fuse of conflicts within all families - the uneven distribution of wealth.

Cullen's face was very unpleasant from the moment he entered the room, and his voice was a little low and changed, "They will come to me tomorrow and ask for their money, and I can't even take out a thousand yuan, what do you say I should do?

Juan was also a little impatient, he was all about becoming a partner with the George family, and he couldn't look down on the small profits of Illian. In the past two days, he invited an expert who specializes in movies on Shelith Street to come back and specifically ask about the theater chain. The expert told him bluntly that any theater chain will definitely make money as long as it can maintain a 30% attendance rate, and if it can maintain 60% of the attendance, it will get rich.

According to the time ladder sharing method, 20% of the total box office revenue in the first three weeks belongs to the theater chain, 55% of the total box office revenue from the fourth week to the twelfth week is the theater chain, and all the box office revenue from the thirteenth week belongs to the theater. With the exception of a very small number of films with an agreement, most films have permanent screening rights, which means that you can play them for as long as you want.

A total of 37 films were released throughout last year, and the highest-grossing film collected more than 4.7 million yuan from its release to the 12th Monday, of which more than 2.5 million yuan was the income of the producer, and the other more than 2 million yuan was the income of the theater chain, and some of the income was counted as taxes and various expenses. So far, there are more than 500 registered theaters in the country, and the average income of each movie theater is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

Juan almost gave up the business when he heard the data, but he continued to listen patiently to the expert who continued to analyze it for him. Last year, a total of 37 movies were released, some of which were popular and some that no one cared about, according to statistics, a total box office of 39.13 million yuan, roughly calculated the average revenue of each movie theater during the release period was about 30,000 yuan.

That's not a lot, and that's okay, in fact, the real revenue of individual theaters is very different from this average. For example, the income of cinemas in remote areas is lower than this figure, but in some developed areas, the income of cinemas is much higher than this figure.

Juan spent a little more money and got the box office calculation of a cinema in a developed area, the least was more than 40,000 yuan, and the most places had 50,000 or 60,000.

If he calculates in this way, he will try to build three to five high, medium and low-end movie theaters in the center of each city, and he will have 150 to 200 movie theaters in his hands, and his annual income will be two or three million.

In addition, the theater also has a part of its revenue from "non-party screenings", that is, the revenue from screenings after the twelfth week. In some places, theaters have deliberately reduced the number of screenings and raised ticket prices so that most people can't afford to watch them. After the screening period is over, they will do all kinds of so-called preferential activities to drag moviegoers back to the cinema, which may have a lower attendance rate than the normal theater, but their income is their own.

The expert finally listed a figure for Juan, if he had more than 200 movie theaters in his hands, the annual income would exceed four million!

When he heard this result, Hu Anxin moved, he was really moved, he didn't need any data like four million that made him tremble, even if it was only two million. This means that he can return to his capital within three to five years, and then he will enter the stage of wealth explosion, and his total assets may reach 50 million or even more in ten years.

This is not a utopian number, because he is destined to be a partner of the George family, even if he can't be a partner, holding such a cinema resource in his hand is enough for him to eat a mouthful of oil.

So much so that he has long been distracted from his current business, this kind of business that has only saved more than 10 million yuan after doing most of his life, he has done enough!

Juan frowned in the face of his eldest son's questioning, "I believe you have a way to solve this matter, which is why I arranged for you to be the manager." If you can't solve even such a trivial matter, I think it's better to forget those unrealistic delusions!"

Cullen didn't expect Juan to be able to say such a thing, he laughed angrily, directly took out the key hanging on his waist, and slapped it on the table, "Father, I've been in poor health recently, I can't bear this job anymore, you better find someone you think is suitable to do it!", after saying that, he left Juan's study without looking back, he didn't care what happened to Juan, he only wanted to leave here, leave Illian, and pursue the life he hoped to yearn for.

Juan calmly watched Cullen's departure without saying anything to hold on, and then called the bartender to arrange the rest of the work and deal with the people who came to ask for money, and soon he began to think about how to complete the plan he had made for himself as soon as possible.

The speed of building theaters on a simple enclosure is too slow, and it is better to acquire it faster. Time was running out of the numbers, and no one knew when the George family would ask them to sit down at the negotiating table, and it would be hard for him if Doolin's side overtook him. Not only is it uncomfortable, but there is also the possibility of being kicked out, so he has to step up his pace.

After pondering for a while, he dialed the phone number of the president of the Ilian branch of the Imperial Bank, and he wanted to invite him to dinner.
