The first phase of New City Plaza is very large. It is divided into two wings, north and south, connected by a pedestrian bridge in the middle, with two underground floors and five above-ground floors. The subway station exit is directly connected, and the transportation is very convenient. It is best to build a cinema when the mall is planned, because the hardware conditions of the cinema are standardized, such as height, width, load-bearing, etc. Chen Qi is now going to build his first multi-hall theater, which can only be embedded in a completed mall. Then it has to be built in conjunction with the mall, and the same is true for China Resources. Of course, according to his subjective wishes, at least 5 halls are required. Chen Qi does not know how to design, so he needs to find a professional. He came to take a look at the environment today. "10 yuan per square foot?" "The new plaza has opened, the lease is long, and the area is large, so it's even cheaper. 10 yuan per square foot, boss, you rent 20,000 square feet, which is only more than 2 million a year. You are so handsome, you must have the ability!" "I don't have the ability, but I am very happy when you praise me for being handsome." "I can't help it, I just speak so directly!" Jiang Zhiqiang watched Chen Qi's incognito visit and chat with a staff member of the mall, and whispered: "Is Mr. Chen always so friendly?
"I have only been here for a few days, I don't know!" Gu Weili said. "Then after I come here, should we call each other comrades? "It's up to you, there are no hard and fast rules. But the company's treatment is really good, with housing, meals, transportation and communications subsidies. The key is to be impressive, no need to be humble, wow!" "I have a house and a car, so I don't have to be humble." Jiang Zhiqiang is a second-generation after all, much better than Gu Weili. In fact, he has always been puzzled. He has not shown any talent, so why did Mr. Chen choose him as an assistant? After thinking about it, there is only one reason: hostage! I stayed in the left wing as a hostage so that my eldest brother and father could work steadily. The three of them walked around for a long time and looked at the residential building under construction. Chen Qi asked: "How much can the house here sell for?" "According to the current market, it's 600 yuan per foot!" Gu Weili said. "How can it be 600 yuan? Taikoo Shing is only 700! Mei Foo Sun Chuen is only 600 yuan, and Tsuen Wan has fallen to 500!" Jiang Zhiqiang understands very well. "500? Is there a cheaper one?" "I heard there's a property for 300, I don't dare live there." "Then it's usually 500-600 per square foot?" "About the same! It's fallen a lot in the past two years. I remember that Taikoo Shing was sold for 1,100 in 1981." At 500 per square foot, a 500-square-foot house would cost more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. It won't take too long. By the early 1990s, it will rise to more than 1 million, and add another zero a few decades later! Chen Qi didn't go there for the appreciation a few decades later. That's too far away. He's already finished writing the book, but it's not there yet. For now, it's not a good idea for everyone to always live in the Yindu dormitory. The company needs to have some assets of its own. This time he plans to borrow 20-30 million, part of which will be used to buy a house and a shop, and part of which will be used to build a theater. The house will be used as a dormitory, and the shop will be used for videotapes and the expansion of the fan club. No matter what the future holds, at least some industries will be left for the East Factory.
"My sincere heart is the testimony of the sun and the moon!" Chen Qi was touched. Since he was buying a house, it was reasonable to leave a cadre house for himself, right? As for the land, there was no hope. He couldn't get real estate. If he wanted land, he would build a large comprehensive studio with a main building, dormitory, studio, and post-production workshop. Studios in Hong Kong are special institutions. They must apply to the Hong Kong government and only grant land after approval. Yindu already has a studio. Given the morality of the British Hong Kong, it is unlikely that it will grant another plot to a Chinese-funded enterprise. After waiting for a few days, China Resources' actions were considered fast. Guo Yourong met him again and said, "The leaders didn't dare to agree to the long-term strategic cooperation you mentioned, but they agreed to build a theater for you. It's a bit out of place to build a theater in an office building instead of in the main building. Do you accept the secondary building?" "The secondary building is OK, it's easier to plan!" "That's good, but the time needs to be postponed until we finish the construction." "It doesn't matter, it won't delay!" Chen Qi nodded, then build the first one in Shatin first, and the second one in China Resources. In fact, the first multi-hall theater in Hong Kong was built in New Town Plaza in Shatin, with 6 halls, so it was called UA6, and later developed into UA Cinema Line. "Also, what about the publicity you mentioned?" Guo Yourong was a little embarrassed. "No problem! Come to the studio one day and we'll formally meet." "Okay, thank you so much! To be honest, we've been rooted in Hong Kong for many years, and we've always been good at publicity. Anyway, you know - we haven't had any contact in the past, but everyone loves to watch your shows and your articles in the newspapers. Every time you publish an issue, the Chinese capital paper is expensive!" "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" The two were chatting on the first floor of China Resources, when suddenly a man came in from the gate, saw Guo Yourong waved at him as a greeting, and hurriedly got on the elevator. Chen Qi didn't recognize him, and asked casually: "Who is this?" "Oh, from Huake." "Huake Electronics? I seem to have heard of it." "Yes, we jointly established it with a Hong Kong company to produce electronic watches, electronic toys and integrated circuit chips. The performance is not very good, and we are losing money." "Can making electronic watches lose money?" "I don't know much about it, it's not a system." This is not a secret within the Chinese capital, so Guo Yourong just answered casually. He invited Chen Qi to have another meal with him. They both felt very sorry that there was no braised pork or steamed buns in Hong Kong, so they agreed that if they met in Beijing, they would have two bowls of braised pork and two large intestines to enjoy themselves. After Chen Qi came out after dinner, the theater business was settled. The next step was to find a professional to handle it. The main thing was to get in touch with China Resources so that they could have more contact. Night. After meeting with Lei Juekun, Zhuang Cheng returned home drunk.
He washed up and lay on the bed. Suddenly, he found it very funny that Lei Juekun was looking for him, naturally for the film source of Princess Jin. Legendary Pictures currently has only one film, "The Wrong Car". Lei Juekun thinks that the box office will not be too good, but in order to win over Zhuang Cheng, he is sincere and is willing to give him an extra 10% share. In the absence of Chen Qi's instructions, Zhuang Cheng has the discretion to agree after thinking about it. By the way, he also mentioned the unfounded Spring Festival film that was discussed before, hoping that Princess Jin would leave the best time for him. Lei Juekun is very straightforward. Zhuang Cheng is also cunning now. This New Year film was originally fake, but he can really make one and then show it directly to the left. Mr. Chen will definitely be very happy. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" Zhuang Cheng was about to fall asleep when he suddenly remembered and called his boss. "Report a few things. I promised Lei Juekun to put "The Wrong Car" on the Golden Princess!" "Okay!" "The Wrong Car" will be released in Taiwan next month and will be registered for the Golden Horse Awards." "Okay!" "I really want to make that Spring Festival movie." "You decide." After a few words, he hung up and Zhuang Cheng fell asleep. Legendary Pictures is thriving. "Mr. Vampire" closed with a box office of 20 million and sold well overseas. The Taiwanese film company spent 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Japanese actually liked it and paid 1 million US dollars. The two deals made more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. In the environment where Chen Qi violated the taboo of introducing Western films, his peers praised: a new generation of local people who can fight overseas will sooner or later surpass the mainlanders! Historically, Mr. Vampire earned nearly NT$100 million in Taiwan and about JPY 650 million in Japan, which is not as good as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, but it is already a big hit compared to others. This kind of ghost culture is common in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Zhuang Cheng is also getting better, and can compete with the boss, (There is more in the evening)
