Chapter 297 Acquisition of “theater chains”
Mr. Shao was also surprised when he heard Han Chunming's words, because no one had ever told him about "this matter".
"Why?" Mr. Shao asked directly.
After hearing this, Han Chunming said directly: "I want to enter the film industry."
"As for acquiring a theater chain, this is by far the best way!"
After hearing this, Mr. Shao also understood what Han Chunming meant. In Xiangjiang, "theater chains" are indeed more "dominant" than film companies.
He smiled and then said: "Then you haven't considered whether I can sell it or not!"
Han Chunming also said directly: "Since Uncle Six, you have been in charge of the TV station!"
"Shaw Brothers' film company has begun to reduce production!"
"So, everyone in Xiangjiang knows your plan. You want to gradually withdraw from the film industry."
"From now on, you have to focus on the TV station business."
After "Mr. Shao" heard this, he smiled again and said, "Yes, I plan to gradually withdraw from the film industry!"
"But this doesn't mean that I have to sell my theater chain!"
"You know, the theater chain's profits have always been very stable. There is no need for me to give up!"
Han Chunming also said directly: "But this also shows that theaters are no longer indispensable to you!"
"I believe that as long as the price is right, you will definitely sell it to me!"
At this time, Uncle Shao Liu said directly: "You are right, as long as the price is right, I can sell it to you!"
After Han Chunming heard this, he said directly: "Then I would like to thank you, Uncle Six, first!"
"If you have any requirements, you can tell me directly!"
"As long as it's appropriate, I will agree!"
After Uncle Shao heard this, he first said: "I don't sell theater chains, but if so, I can rent them to you!"
After hearing this, Han Chunming said directly: "Uncle Six, I will not consider leasing."
"Because, instead of that, I might as well go and build a new theater chain directly!"
"Besides, you are well aware of the situation of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. It can be said to be dilapidated."
"If it comes into my hands, I plan to renovate it properly."
When Uncle Shao heard what Han Chunming said, he knew that he really didn't plan to "rent" anymore.
Then, he said to Han Chunming: "I can sell you half of the shares and let you run the theater chain!"
As for Han Chunming's words, when he heard Uncle Shao Liu say this, he also fell into "contemplation" and said nothing!
After a while, he said: "Uncle Six, I am not short of the money to buy a theater!"
"Also, after I buy the theater chain, I plan to invest heavily in renovation and expansion of the theater chain."
"So, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, I still hope that you can sell it to me completely!"
When Uncle Shao heard what Han Chunming said, he also fell into deep thought. He didn't know what to say for the time being.
After a while, he said: "Then wait for me, go back and think about it, and I will give you an answer!"
After Han Chunming heard this, he also understood that Uncle Shao wanted to go back and discuss it with "Aunt Six" Miss Fang.
"Okay then! I'm waiting for your reply!" Han Chunming said directly.
Then, there were three of them, Mr. Jin, Uncle Shao Liu, and Han Chunming, and they continued to chat.
When the time is almost up, the party will be dismissed and everyone will go back to their homes!
……
In this way, another three days passed before Han Chunming received a call from Uncle Shao Liu.
He agreed to completely sell "Shaw Brothers Cinemas" to Han Chunming.
Han Chunming also informed his "private lawyer" and "accountant" to go find "Uncle Shao Liu".
When they got there, Han Chunming and Uncle Shao reached an agreement without any "discussions".
Han Chunming spent a total of "60 million yuan" to buy the entire theater chain.
This is also because the current situation in Hong Kong has resulted in relatively low real estate prices, so it is possible to buy it.
In a few months, after the situation stabilizes, housing prices will begin to "soar"!
At that time, if Han Chunming wanted to buy a theater chain, he would have to spend at least "10 million yuan" more.
I probably remember that in the original situation, in 1985, Shaw Brothers Cinemas sold for "100 million yuan"!
In just "one year", Han Chunming can save "40 million yuan", which is not a small amount of money.
……
After buying it, Han Chunming directly changed the name of Shaw Brothers Cinemas to "Galaxy Cinemas".
Moreover, he also established a "Galaxy Film" company, which is mainly responsible for film business investment!
Then, Han Chunming also transferred "20 million yuan" to "Galaxy Cinemas" to help them renovate the cinemas.
Needless to say, if we want to directly reach the "world-class level", we must also catch up with the "normal level".
Because the current theater chain is already in a "backward" era and is in urgent need of transformation!
If nothing else, let’s just say that nowadays, “small hall screening” is popular in the world.
As for today's theaters, they are all screened in "lobby" areas.
If you change "lobby" to "small hall", more movies can be screened at the same time.
This is really a great thing for the "Galaxy Cinema Line"! It is very beneficial to increase the "profit" brought by the theater chain.
……
Finally, Han Chunming also asked the "staff" to directly mark some theaters in the theater chain that could be "dismantled".
He plans to "tear down" everything and build a new type of "cinema".
Most of them are small buildings with "three or four floors". The top floor is used as a "cinema", and the other floors are either restaurants, supermarkets, or shopping malls.
This is the kind of "simple commercial complex" that can satisfy people's "eating, drinking, playing and having fun" all at once.
What's more, he also asked people to acquire some houses and wanted to build more theaters.
Han Chunming wants to rebuild the "Galaxy Cinemas" into the "No. 1 cinema" in Hong Kong.
……
By the way, after all the theater matters were arranged, Han Chunming went to deal with the affairs of "Galaxy Movies" again.
After all, if there is a "theater chain" but there are not enough "movies" to play, then the theaters will be wasted.
He first made an announcement: "Galaxy Cinemas has also given up the guarantee system, and everyone is welcome to come to the screening!"
Then, he went directly to find "Wong Jing", "Tsui Hark", "Sammo Hung" and others.
I hope they can cooperate with "Galaxy Cinemas", whether it's "funding" or "screening opportunities"!
In the end, under the temptation of Han Chunming's "funds" and "theatres", only Tsui Hark took the lead to join.
As for other people, they are still saying yes and want to continue to think about it.
Han Chunming doesn't force them, as long as they can do it slowly, that's fine!
