Chapter 290: Wanda Studios “I guess I need to ask this.” Wang Youqing pondered for a moment, reviewing the company's terms, past events, and other miscellaneous factors, but still couldn't give a complete guarantee. Chen was a little surprised, considering that his requirement was a shop stall in all the Wanta Plaza. But Wang Youqing did not refuse immediately, but just said he needed to ask. What does this mean? This shows that the leader of the faction behind him should be one of the top leaders of the group. If he is just the person in charge of a large region, he will probably refuse directly because it is beyond his ability. Since he had tested the other party's strength, Chen lowered his conditions without any psychological barriers. Chen is a smart man. He knows that there are three points to pay attention to in negotiations: First, quarreling does not affect the relationship. The second is to test at any time and place, and make changes at any time. Some people are stubborn and do not know how to adapt, so they miss good opportunities for cooperation.
Third, no matter how it changes, the bottom line cannot be moved. But the bottom line is often very simple and can be summarized in just one sentence: As long as that line is crossed, I would rather not cooperate. That kind of lengthy bargaining is often not the real bottom line. Chen Zhuo was analyzing quickly in his head, and of course Wang Youqing was not idle either. He was very optimistic about this project, and at the same time he also hoped that Chen Zhuo would take the lead so that he could get a piece of the pie. So Wang Youqing continued to make suggestions: "If you can do something in Wanta Square, then the reason will be sufficient. Can the learning network be opened in the square?" "can not open." Chen shook his head and said: " is mainly an online business. If we do physical business, it will become offline training. This is not the track for . That is the place dominated by New Oriental." "Too." Wang Youqing did not force himself to do so, but he began to feel regretful. Based on Chen Zhuo's requirements and the current situation within the group, the probability of success is not high. If it were in the past, Wang Youqing might have resorted to unreasonable tactics and half-forced and half-tricked Chen into participating. Now that they understand each other, Wang Youqing doesn't want to offend this young man at all. Seeing the enthusiasm on Wang Youqing's face slowly fading, Chen Zhuo picked up the Maotai and took two sips. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Is your Wanda Cinema directly operated or franchised?" "Movie theater?" Wang Youqing was stunned. The topic was a bit far-reaching, so Wang Youqing thought for a while before replying, "I'm not familiar with that area. Should I ask now?" Chen smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Youqing blinked, inexplicably feeling that the drinking party tonight was actually dominated by Chen Zhuo. About 10 minutes later, Wang Youqing returned to the box from outside with his cell phone. He said: "At present, the Wanda Cinemas in first- and second-tier cities are basically directly operated, but third- and fourth-tier cities are said to allow franchising, especially now that the group's main focus is on commercial real estate, and the promotion of the film and television business is sometimes fast and sometimes slow." After giving this basic information, Wang Youqing asked, "Why are you interested?" Chen was silent for a while, then said "hmm". In 2007, the domestic film industry had not yet fully exploded, and the total box office for the entire year was only 33 billion yuan. By 2023, a weight loss film will almost double the current annual box office. Think about it, the revenue of the entire industry is only 33 billion. It is normal that some real estate tycoons look down on it. There is no way to make money faster than building houses. However, Chen knew that investing in the "cinema chain" would not result in a loss. After all, as people's living standards improved, their spiritual and cultural needs also increased. "Watching movies" is a time-saving, labor-saving, and cost-effective form of spiritual entertainment. Young people go on a romantic date and watch a movie; I don’t know how to spend my middle-aged anniversary, so I watch a movie; doi Seek excitement, go to the movies... The emergency escape passage in the movie theater is very exciting when the door is closed; Wan Da entered the film industry in 2005, which is a relatively long-term vision. You should know that Tencent and Alibaba only started to layout the film and television industry in 2014, which is 10 years behind. So Chen Zhuo was thinking just now, since he must deepen his relationship with Wanta, he might as well join Wanta Cinemas. Since all the shopping malls in the center of first-tier cities are directly operated by Wanda, why not join the franchisees in smaller cities in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth tiers? You will just make less money anyway. Moreover, this is a way of "franchising", and they will continue to use the name of [Wanda Cinema], which is equivalent to spending their own money to help you build a reputation. Just for this reason, is that enough? However, Wang Youqing was a little hesitant and even had a misunderstanding. "When doing business, you should not do anything you are not familiar with. I heard that you studied economics, which has nothing to do with making movies." Wang Youqing said, "Brother, if you want to play with female celebrities, I have plenty of ways to do it." Wang Youqing had no idea about the future development of the film and television industry, and thought Chen Zhe was just a show-off and was planning to sleep with women. Chen Zhuo burst out laughing, he was discussing the issue very seriously. This is the only way of cooperation that Chen could think of that is beneficial to both parties under the current circumstances. Besides, investing in a cinema now may only cost 30 to 50 yuan. When the film industry enters a period of explosive growth in two or three years, Chen Zhuo will also have completed large-scale operations in small and medium-sized cities. If the Wanda Group wanted to take it back at that time to complete the top-down layout, Chen Zhe might not even bother with it unless the recycling price of a cinema was more than 200 million to 300 million. "So be it." Chen Zhuo waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to discuss further: "All the conditions just now remain unchanged. I will still be responsible for all the preparatory work for the real estate agency. You don't need to show up, just support me secretly." "As for the shares of the intermediary company..."
Chen Zhuo raised the standard again: "Your leader accounts for 15%, and you, Brother Wang, account for 7%. In addition, in order for you to have a better basis for speaking for me at the board meeting, I decided to join Wanda's cinemas in small and medium-sized cities, and we can sign the contract in black and white..." "Where do you get the money to build a cinema?" Wang Youqing interrupted. Chen Zhuo said nothing, raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Youqing's, then smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? We can go to a bank or a financial institution to get a loan. Who can start a business without owing some money?" Since Chen started his business, he has basically been self-reliant, except for borrowing some money from Sister Sweet and eating a few meals. Now we have finally come to this step. However, this is not a bad thing. It just shows that the tracing business has begun to develop in a diversified direction. In addition, there is room for maneuver in many areas of "borrowing", but Chen Zhuo would not tell Wang Youqing, but instead acted helpless. Seeing Chen Zhe's loyalty, Wang Youqing, although a veteran in the underworld, was deeply moved. Because he is in this era, he cannot jump out of the timeline to evaluate Chen Zhuo's decision. It seems that Chen made concessions again and again, and finally even had to borrow money to join the cinema, just to make it less difficult for his faction in the board of directors. Wang Youqing drank several glasses of wine in silence, and only when he was finally satisfied did he sigh and say: "Brother, you are more than a generation younger than me, but you are more decisive than me. Let me tell you something." "please say." Chen Zhuo pretended to listen attentively. "My boss holds a high position in the group. Even if he doesn't have to do anything, his stake cannot be less than 20%." Wang Youqing raised two fat fingers. Chen frowned. This was the necessary reaction. In fact, this does not touch my bottom line. Seeing Chen Zhuo frowning and looking angry, Wang Youqing felt a little guilty, and slammed the table and said, "Brother, you have prepared the shares of my leader. I don't want the shares, I will help you with this project for free!" Chen shook his head with a dark face, as if to say that I am not targeting you, but your somewhat greedy leader. "It is impossible to let the horse run without letting it eat grass." Chen Zhuo patted Wang Youqing on the shoulder and said, "Besides, Brother Wang is a Siberian tiger, so he can't go hungry." "Don't worry, Brother Wang!" Chen said loudly: "If this project cannot be successful, we two brothers have done our best; if it can be successful, your share will be whatever we just agreed on!" Chen Zhe has a clean and sunny appearance. His heroic look at this moment is a bit inconsistent with the previous one. But Wang Youqing would not and dared not make fun of him. Today, he displayed a strong and complex personality charm. Even a rogue like Wang Youqing was somewhat impressed.
"I will report to my leader when I get home in the evening!" Wang Youqing said immediately. Judging from his decisive tone, he will probably speak strongly in Chen's favor because it is in his own interest. Chen Zhuo calmed down at this time. He said that he would prepare a preliminary copy about "real estate agency" when he got home tonight. However, the two have been chatting until now, and Wang Youqing has never asked to take Chen Zhe to meet the big boss of the group. Chen Zhuo analyzed that there may be two possibilities. One is that Wang Youqing is unwilling to share his connections with others; The other possibility is that the boss himself does not want to meet the person in order to avoid giving his competitors any handle. No matter which one it is, Chen Zhe can understand and accept it with his broad mind, but with his sophistication, he cannot lack the necessary etiquette. "Brother Wang, I plan to send some local specialties to your leader." Chen said casually, "I'll have to trouble you to forward it to me." "Oh." Wang Youqing originally just nodded casually, but when he noticed Chen Zhe's intriguing and deep eyes, he suddenly reacted and stared at Chen Zhe. Chen Zhuo was also very calm and nodded without hesitation. Wang Youqing silently raised four fingers. Chen shook his head and called Xia Huilan in front of Wang Youqing: "Teacher Xia, go to the bank tomorrow and prepare 50 yuan in cash for me. It must be done early tomorrow morning. I need it urgently." Wang Youqing's eyes gradually changed from surprise to passionate admiration. Before parting, Wang Youqing said to Chen Zhuo with emotion: "With your meticulous work style and open-minded mind, you will become a chess player sooner or later. Brother, I can't do that. I can only be a chess piece in this life." Chen Zhuo didn't seem to understand and smiled gently, "I don't like playing chess. I like watching movies with my girlfriend in the cinema." ······ (Luckily I caught up with today, please support me with a monthly ticket!) (End of this chapter)
