Chu Xiangqian endured his boredom, watched the second Fengyue movie invested by Lard Boy, got up and shook his head and said to Wrinkle Huai, "What do you think?" ”

Wrinkled Huai looked at the nervous lard boy, and didn't dare to say it clearly, until Chu Qianqian frowned, and then said honestly, "The box office should not be as good as Brother Zai's first movie."

However, the audience's curiosity about this kind of film is still quite big now, and it should be no problem to earn one or two hundred thousand in 15 days after it is released. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and realized that the current audience is really interested in these plots.

The possibility of losing money is really not high, but if you want to be the same as the first part, the local box office is basically four or five hundred thousand.

It is even likely that in a week, the box office will fall sharply, but now at the end of June, there is still half a month before the holiday of Hong Kong Island primary and secondary schools on July 15.

If the lard boy takes the initiative to take off the shelves within a week of his release, and he is unwilling to pay the charter fee, then the theater chain will have to temporarily find other movies to make up for the theater schedule.

Turning his head to look at the lard boy, "Do you want a half-month schedule?" If not, the movie will be delayed, and after the release of Drunken Fist is finished, find a schedule to release it. ”

The lard boy and the rice fish immediately knew what Chu Xiangqian meant.

Or, you will charter the venue for half a month, so as not to lose the theater.

Or, you postpone the release.

Lard Boy hesitated for more than ten seconds and couldn't make up his mind, 11 movies, 4 belong to rice fish, 7 belong to Chu Xiangqian, and the daily charter fee is 11,000.

Although it was said that the lard boy was given a 9% discount, it would cost 10,000 a day, 70,000 for seven days, and 150,000 for 15 days.

There is a difference of 80,000 in the middle, how can lard boy make a decision so easily.

Seeing this, Bai Fanyu said with a smile, "Grinding and chirping, I can't be the master of Xiashan Leopard and Jiang Zhen, so I just postpone it directly." So as not to make Uncle A, me and Achu lose money. ”

Lard Boy immediately woke up and said that he would definitely have to make a movie in the future.

offended the two bigwigs, and the unlucky one must be himself.

And the three of them invested in the movie together, even if they lost money, they didn't lose it alone.

Besides, you don't necessarily lose money.

If you regret it in your heart, it is better to give the director of the first movie a director fee of 20,000 yuan.

nodded depressedly and said, "Forget it, half a month is half a month, anyway, the investment is only 110,000 Hong Kong dollars." It's better to get your investment back sooner rather than keep putting it off. ”

Lard Boy is not stupid, just now Chu Xiangqian praised the script in the hand of Bai Fanyu.

And Fengyue films have always been filmed very fast, I don't want this half-month schedule, plus a one-month release period of drunken boxing, it adds up to more than 45 days.

When Drunken Fist is released, Bai Rice Fish may make two movies.

And Chu Xiangqian is optimistic about the script of the Fengyue film in the hands of Bai Fanyu, after it is filmed, if the effect is really good, then the audience's interest in his movie will be smaller, and the box office will naturally be worse.

It's better to release it early and get back the investment, and on your own side, go to the market to find a new script, or ask a master to write it.

Chu Xiangqian saw that the lard boy agreed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing.

When the theater chain faces the film company, the advantage is really big.

Then he thought of something and said to Lard Boy, "By the way, I warn you that the directing ability of this movie is actually quite good, but he is really not suitable for making this kind of movie."

In other words, he is at fault, and you, the investor and producer, are also at fault. It's okay if you want to trouble him, but if you find someone to beat someone, or use other shady means, I'll be the first to clean you up. ”

The lard boy was startled, and secretly said how did Chu Xiangqian know what he was thinking?

When the others saw him, they secretly said that this dead fat man really wanted to find someone to beat the director.

The lard boy met Chu Qianqian's gaze, and was stared at by the rice fish again.

How dare you say half a 'no'. nodded busily, "Chu Sheng rest assured, investment, it's normal to make money and lose money."

If I want to eat the bowl of rice of movies, I won't use the means of outsiders and clubs. ”

Chu Xiangqian let him go, and Bai Fanyu said earnestly, "Lard boy, there are rules for the industry, and you have to abide by the rules of this industry when you enter this industry."

Otherwise, I don't need to say that everyone knows that there are too many bad rules, and they are ruining the industry.

When the time comes, not only will I have to trouble you, but Ge Bai and other ghosts who have made money in overseas distribution will definitely trouble you. ”

Lard Boy was busy and repeatedly promised that he would not mess around, but Chu Xiangqian also said that it was no problem to find trouble with the director, but he couldn't use means outside the circle.

Then it's okay to ruin the director's reputation.

Lao Tzu clearly said that he would make Fengyue films, but under the flickering of that guy, he said that art is the pursuit of filmmakers.

Now the picture of the movie is good, but the box office is gone, which is using his own money to achieve his most desired movie.

It's just taking yourself as a wronged person.

Wrinkled Huai and He Guanchang glanced at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time.

It's good that the dark path has a big backer, otherwise the community will find trouble in the future, and these people won't be able to withstand their shady methods.

And compared with Uncle Shao Liu, although his own boss is young, his power is greater than that of the entire Shaw Brothers, let alone Uncle Shao Liu, who independently opened a film company.

This is called a good shade under the big tree, and even oneself and others in turn can use some means to deal with competitors.

Hong Sanbao, Guo Zhenhua, Zhang Rongfei and others were also relieved, but the camel's heart was tight, and he secretly went back to talk to the dragon head about today's events.

lest anyone who doesn't open their eyes and provokes the people of Chu's movies, but in the end it is their own bosses who are unlucky.

Chu Xiangqian still looked at Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua with some uneasiness and said, "Sanbao, Ah Long, the two of you are filming with you, and there should be a lot of people who are stand-ins."

One of you set up the Hong family class, and the other set up the Guo family class. In the future, the company's plays, stand-ins, and watching the crew will all be left to you.

If someone makes trouble, they will call me, and the company will pay for the medical expenses if his subordinates are injured.

If they don't win, they will go to Sanjiang Shui, Feibo or Langang and send them to prison. ”

Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua were excited, and subconsciously stood up straight, "Understood, boss." ”

The camel and the lard boy couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

The camel scolded the lard boy, and the matter of taking care of the crew had already been handed over to himself and his brothers.

Now because of the lard boys, it's all gone.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and it's strange that the camel doesn't hate the lard boy at this time.

And Lard Boy is worried that the two Longhu martial arts classes mentioned by Chu Xiangqian may develop into two forces or even associations in the future.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, knowing that if there is no restriction, even if Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua have no other ideas, they will push them to the top if they can't keep their subordinates.

"There are tentatively 20 people in the two classes, and the three treasures are looking for martial arts brothers. Aaron, you're looking for those of your former subordinates who are willing to do serious work.

And since the company handed over the work of playing, stand-ins, and watching the crew to you, you are responsible for the salaries of those under you.

Of course, if you are selected for a role during filming, the remuneration company will give it.

And the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts are treated the same as the actors during the crew. There is a box lunch to eat, and if he was injured during filming and stand-in, the company will pay for medical expenses. ”

Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua nodded busily, this kind of thing has been done for a long time. It should be no problem to feed twenty or thirty people.

Chu Qianqian looked at Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang again, "The money given to the Dragon and Tiger Martial Master will come according to the market." Keep an eye on this piece for me, lest one day suddenly tell me that there are two clubs under the company. ”

Wrinkled Huai and He Guanchang nodded hurriedly, the mixed club seems to be beautiful, but the social status is not only very low, but also unpopular, and there is no chance to enter the celebrity.

He Guanchang, as Guo Zhenhua's father, glared at Guo Zhenhua even more, and secretly said that he had to keep an eye on it in the future.

Guo Zhenhua shrank his head and slapped drunk boxing, there was a case of someone he found fighting with someone on the set.

This matter was quickly suppressed, so there was no trouble, and Chu Xiangqian was not told.

On the contrary, the people who followed Hong Sanbao were all apprentices of senior brothers or other martial arts masters.

Sometimes, the relationship between brothers and sisters is still binding, after all, people are group animals, and no one wants to be excluded by a group of acquaintances.

Not only is it humiliating, but it also affects future livelihoods.

Chu Qianqian looked at the camel with a depressed face, and stared at the lard boy from time to time.

"By the way, I'm going to buy one or two hundred cars and start a taxi company. If you have someone under you who is willing to do a serious job, you can go to work in a taxi company.

Try to run it for a month, if you're managing it well. In the future, pay the fee or negotiate a price, and pay me the license plate for each car every month.

It is estimated that it should be no problem for each driver to earn 150 a month. If two people change shifts with each other, they will take turns 24 hours a day. After deducting the money for renting a license, it should not be difficult to pay three or four hundred a month.

As for how you take a cut of the housekeeper, I don't care, but don't make trouble for me. ”

Camel ecstasy, if you are three or four hundred a month, you can draw 2 achievements from it for 60 to 80 yuan.

If you give yourself 50 cars, it will be three or four thousand a month, and tens of thousands a year.

Chu Xiangqian is not a benevolent person, and the rent handed over to the company for each taxi is calculated according to the cost of buying a car and opening a taxi company in 2 or 3 years.

Three or four thousand Hong Kong dollars a car, calculated for 24 months, 125 to 167 yuan a month.

Counting the cost of car repair, staff, and venues, you can lose at least 150 to 190 Hong Kong dollars a month.

In other words, a car has to be transferred at least 450 to 600 Hong Kong dollars per month.

The revenue of 15 to 20 Hong Kong dollars a day is just capital protection, but fortunately, gasoline is very cheap in these years.

If memory serves, before the first oil crisis in 70 years, Middle Eastern crude oil was below $3 per barrel.

In this era, a barrel of crude oil can be refined into about 80 liters. In the future, it can refine about 95 liters.

However, the cost of crude oil refining is not low, and it is basically in the hands of major oil companies.

But even if it is calculated according to 80 liters, it stands to reason that the purchase price of gasoline per liter on Hong Kong Island is only about 2 cents a liter.

In fact, the oil price on Hong Kong Island at this time is really cheap compared to the future, only 2 cents and 5 a liter.

Thinking about the price of 22 Hong Kong dollars per liter in the future, a certain company with the prefix in China will make a net profit of 70 billion yuan on Hong Kong Island in the next year, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that it was really better to build an oil depot and gas station to make money by opening a taxi company.

Fortunately, even if you buy 200 taxis and the company's station, you can get it for about 2 million, and the loss during the future operation period will be millions, but if it is operated, in the prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the demand for locals and tourists to take a taxi is still very large.

After all, the cost of taking a taxi is certainly many times cheaper than renting a car provided by a hotel.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the white rice fish with an expectant face, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, you are a car seller, I want to buy one or two hundred cars, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Bai Rice Fish had already made a plan, and said with a smile, "It depends on who your target customers are." Focusing on serving locals, Volkswagen's camping van is officially priced at 3200 on Hong Kong Island.

9 or 6 seats plus a big suitcase, the locals see it, and they will not dare to sit because the car looks too high-end.

But if you are focusing on white-collar workers and foreign tourists, the Mercedes-Benz you bought before is good, and the fuel consumption of 4,2,5 seats is lower than that of a car in the United States.

And in the past two years, I heard that European cars are competing with Mi cars for the market, and the price is a little low.

The purchase quantity of one or two hundred vehicles, maybe 3800 can be bought. And I suggest you park it outside the big hotels in the future.

Even if there are 200 cars, there are only five or six cars waiting for each hotel, airport, ferry, and building where the Central ghost guy works.

Business should be good, after all, ghosts are used to tipping. ”

Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up, the salary of foreign waiters is very low, and the main source of income is tips.

And it is simply unrealistic to let the driver play the meter in full accordance with the regulations in these years.

This is also the main reason why Chu Xiangqian didn't think about it from the beginning, and you can't supervise it at all.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the white rice fish and said, "Then I want 200 Mercedes-Benz, how about you help me place an order?" ”

Bai Rice Fish laughed, if you don't make money, you are a fool. And following Chu forward, he earns a lot every year.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the dealer of Mercedes-Benz, and at the same time place an order, I will strive for the original factory modification, and I can use it when I ship it."

Chu Xiangqian didn't think about it, so he used the red body of the future Hong Kong Island taxi with a silver roof.

He then called Hader, the chief secretary of administration, and asked him to have dinner in the evening.

As soon as Hader heard it, he knew that there must be something to find him, but the more Chu Xiangqian had something, the happier Hader became, which meant that the opportunity to make money was in front of him.

Bai Fanyu wanted to follow, but thinking that he had no intersection with the people in the administrative secretary at all, and he didn't have this need, he got up and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Ah Chu, if it's fast, it's a month, and if it's slow, it may take 2 or 3 months."

However, if you are in a hurry to use the car, there are more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz cars of the same type in my warehouse. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and simply bought it all and tried to operate it.

Nodding his head, he said, "Give it all to me, and then help modify it according to the color I said." ”

After speaking, when he opened the drawer under the cover of his desk, he took out 50,000 Hong Kong dollars from the warehouse in the novice village and handed it to the white rice fish.

"12 cars, no problem, right?"

Bai Fanyu nodded, and after taking the money, he couldn't help but think in his heart, and simply didn't make Chu Xiangqian's money, "Forget it, I'll give you 13 cars." ”

PS: I used to think that the toothache would not hurt much, but now that it comes to my head, I realize that the toothache is really terrible.

I had pain all the time, I had a fever for two days, and I was weak.

When the fever subsides, I will write as much as I can.
