Chapter 500: Those Who Make Movies Start to Engage in Capital

Just like what Li Changheng said, the ownership of the theater is still in his own hands, so he can feel at ease and at the same time feel more free.

In case of urgent need for money, the theater is in your own hands and then mortgaged, and you are the one who decides.

But if a company is established, at least other shareholders must be notified of the share mortgage, or even mortgaged in the hands of others.

Although you can get the same money, the feeling in your heart is completely different from borrowing money from the bank and borrowing money from friends and collaborators.

When Charles and the others, who wanted to understand this truth, nodded, to Li Changheng's surprise, the only one who didn't care was Andrew.

"You idiots," Andrew said with a mocking expression on his face, "you want to make money with Henry, but you worry about this and that.

If I were Henry, I wouldn't really trust you. "

"Okay, Andrew, stop talking."

Li Changheng interrupted Andrew's words, no matter how good he said, in fact, the most worrying thing was himself.

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Li Changheng took the initiative to smile and said, "There are many ways to cooperate, and I, like you, hope that things will be more beneficial to me. There is nothing to blame for this kind of thinking.

Moreover, theater chains are somewhat different from other businesses, and there is no need to deeply tie them together.

Besides, sometimes in order to expand market share, even if you know that the rate of return is not high, you still have to invest in cities such as Hong Kong, Kowloon, Seoul, and Tokyo.

It is unfair to you to ask you to invest money in a market that you are not optimistic about. "

Charles and the others nodded happily, and the only ones who didn't have a happy smile on their faces were Bell Burke and Grosvenor.

One of these two guys got about 20% of the project in the Tsim Sha Tsui project.

The other is because my uncle went to Hong Kong and Kowloon as the capital of Hong Kong, and he is very clear about Li Changheng's investment in Kowloon.

And the two of them knew early on that Li Changheng really invested 20 million U.S. dollars and lent 80 million Hong Kong dollars, so they stipulated that the repayment should also be Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar were 4 to 1, but now it is 5.2 to 1.

The exchange rate difference alone saved him 20% of the dollar loss.

If you add the past two years, Hong Kong and Kowloon real estate has appreciated by at least 30%.

The two suddenly discovered that the money they had earned in the past two years seemed not to be as high as others' profits from property appreciation alone.

However, Bell and Grosvenor had different final thoughts.

In May of a few years, because Li Chang Henry used the Ministry of Justice of the United States and the troops stationed in the island country to suppress Huifengde, and the nobles were waiting for the production of home appliances, and they had been waiting for almost four months.

That's why Bell, the second-generation aristocrat who has the closest relationship with Li Changheng, went to Hong Kong and Kowloon to persuade him to let Huifengde go and return to London as soon as possible.

Then when they were sitting in the car together, Li Changheng reminded Bell not to blame the real estate in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Therefore, in the past six months, although the land prices in Hong Kong and Kowloon are still rising, Bell has never made up his mind to ignore Li Changheng's reminder.

Now I heard Li Changheng mention Seoul and Tokyo in addition to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Bell immediately wondered whether Li Changheng was not optimistic about Hong Kong and Kowloon real estate at the same time.

Focusing on the real estate industry in Seoul and Tokyo?

And Grosvenor is thinking, should we really focus on emerging economies outside England?

Since he is not familiar with other places, even the economy of the United States, there will always be a chance to at least drink soup and eat a small piece of fat following Henry, a guy who has always been successful.

Li Changheng, who sent Charles and the others away, would not have reminded them if he knew what they were thinking. On the contrary, he would have liked to see them get bruised because of the future oil crisis.

In the next few days, I invited all the neighbors on Garden Street to watch a show of Home Alone in the theater on Regent Street, and not only listened to the adults' opinions on the movie.

I also discussed it with more than 20 children, and after listening to the opinions of these little ones.

While smiling, Li Changheng thought helplessly in his heart that he really shouldn't be so modest.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have heard an 11-year-old kid openly say in the theater that he wanted to transform his own home into a movie.

Even, his biggest wish is the same as the little protagonist Kevin, that is, he wants his parents and a sister to disappear.

Sending away parents with a bad expression, after thinking about it, Li Changheng decided to let people go to the United States, and took a group of shots of Kevin lying on a hospital bed wrapped in gauze, with one leg hanging on a bracket with a plaster cast As an end credits easter egg.

Although he is well aware that the greater the controversy, the more media attention it can attract.

But if a kid actually learns film and hurts himself, it's no fun.

On December 9th, the film was officially completed, and all that was left was to send it for copying.

It cost 2,000 pounds a piece. After the negotiation reached 1900, he directly ordered 126 copies, and this number was one more than the number of cinemas in all of London.

When having dinner at home in the evening, Annie said with a smile, "Honey, the people from Mi Gaozi have been here for three days, and the people from Lianmei have also been here for two days. You really don't see them?"

Li Changheng shook his head with a smile, "Lianmei is just a famous name, its strength is at best middling, and it even has to rely on other companies for its distribution to be a small company outside of the United States.

As for Mikozyme, I told the lawyer what I thought, and these guys did a good job negotiating in the theater, just let them talk to the Mikozyme people first.

Besides, for those hotels worth 80 million U.S. dollars and less than 4,000 film sources of Michael Enzyme, he dared to double the price to 160 million U.S. dollars.

In addition, if you want to dismiss the management, you have to compensate them another 12 million US dollars.

This group of people has no ability to run a company and develop the film market, but they have learned the new golden parachute plan created by Wall Street. They are really crazy about money. "

After finishing speaking, he sighed and shook his head again, "If it wasn't for that guy named Corian in Las Vegas who really didn't have a good reputation, I would have just joined forces with him, maybe I could buy it for 70 million dollars Michael's gone."

When Annie heard that the price was doubled, she stopped mentioning it immediately, but asked worriedly, "Then what about our distribution in the United States?"

"The lawyer will take care of it," Li Changheng said with a smile while holding Annie's hand, "Mi Gaozi's people are not stupid, although 15% of the box office is regarded as a distribution fee, although it is not high.

But as long as the matter of me as a director is widely publicized, I can save a lot of publicity costs based on my reputation in the United States.

In addition, if Home Alone really sells well in London, no matter what you say about this business, it will be a profitable business. "

When Annie heard this, she nodded naturally, "Then how much box office share can we get?"

"Whether it is a step-by-step account split or a fixed ratio for a long-term screening, this has to be discussed."
