After hearing Li Mingbao's words, Uncle Liu frowned and said: "Why is the decoration so good? Is it enough to be usable? Who is not like that in Hong Kong's theater chain nowadays? Let me tell you, decoration and everything else are secondary. If it works, keep using it. Cinema lines are fundamental. Without cinema lines, where can you decorate? The most important thing is that the price of theater lines must not be too low. I might as well tear down the theater and build a house. " "Uncle Liu, are you kidding? With the current housing prices in Hong Kong, it's not easy to recover the cost of building a house. I heard that the British are now targeting Hong Kong. If something goes wrong, who will be willing to buy a house? If you really do this, when will the money be recovered? Although the film industry and the real estate industry are related, Uncle Liu It's really unreasonable to do that with such a status. You should leave it to Boss Li, he is the professional," Li Mingbao said jokingly. The boss Li Mingbao is talking about is naturally Li Jiacheng. Although no one calls him Superman yet, his career is now considered very successful in Hong Kong. This boss is an expert in house repair. ¡° A year and a half later, building a house may be more profitable than building a theater chain. At least for the locations of several theaters in the Shaw Cinema chain, you will not lose money no matter how you build a house. But now, when the entire Hong Kong society is in a state of anxiety, what price can a house be sold for? "Anyway, Shaw Brothers Cinemas won't sell it cheaply. If it wants to sell it, it must be sold at a good price, otherwise I won't sell it." Uncle Liu started to cheat. "Then what's your lowest price, Uncle Six? Tell me so I can refer to it." Li Mingbao smiled nonchalantly. "500 million Hong Kong dollars, I won't sell it for less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars." Uncle Liu said with a serious face. Hearing Uncle Liu's offer, Li Mingbao laughed angrily: "Uncle Liu, do you really think I'm the one who's been taken advantage of? Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars? Do you think my money is easy to fool, right? Since Uncle Liu's psychological value is so high, Okay, I'll leave this Shaw Brothers theater chain to Uncle Liu for your own enjoyment. I really don't want it. If I take out the money for 500 million Hong Kong dollars, what area in Hong Kong can't I buy a good house? Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars is enough to rebuild another theater chain. Then I will still get a brand-new cinema, so why do I need those old Shaw Brothers houses? I didn¡¯t say that, and you didn¡¯t ask. It would be better for Shaw Brothers to be in your hands.¡± I knew that Uncle Liu was not a fuel-efficient person, but I didn¡¯t expect that Uncle Liu would still be there at this time. Then the lion opens his mouth. Although Li Mingbao can afford 500 million Hong Kong dollars, he still needs 22 cinemas, most of which are small, and there are only four leading cinemas, including Lee Stage. Uncle Liu dared to offer 500 million for something like this, so he really thought Li Mingbao was a fool. Seeing Li Mingbao's expression, Uncle Liu was indifferent: "Fifty million Hong Kong dollars is really not much. The reputation of Shaw Brothers Cinemas for decades is an intangible asset, and it also benefits the popularity of a large theater like the Stage in Hong Kong. You also know how high it is. As soon as you take over the theater chain, you will be able to make a profit immediately. You won¡¯t have to do any publicity. How much time will it save compared to building a new cinema? Knowing that Uncle Liu¡¯s price is absolutely not false, it¡¯s you, Abao, who would give me this price. If it had been anyone else, I wouldn¡¯t have raised the price at all, but would have just rented out the theater, even though the money was less. , but the theater chain is ultimately my own.¡± When Liu Shu mentioned the reputation of Shaw Brothers Theater, Li Mingbao smiled even more. What kind of reputation does Shaw Brothers Cinemas have now? If several of his films were not screened in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, then Shaw Brothers Cinemas would already be a bad movie theater chain in the eyes of Hong Kong people. Don't go in expecting to see any good movies. ?????????? What kind of reputation does a theater chain like this pay attention to? He is not Pan Disheng. He has other purposes for winning theater chains and buying film companies. He really wants to make this thing his own industry. Uncle Liu used these inconspicuous things to deceive Li Mingbao, how could he be able to deceive him? Li Mingbao is in a bad mood at this time. Uncle Six is ??difficult to deal with, and Li Mingbao knows it. But he didn't expect that for an item that was worthless in Uncle Liu's hands, he still wanted to sell it for the price of a bear's paw. Li Mingbao was a knowledgeable person. Even Uncle Six still wanted to make a big fortune. It was indeed worthy of his death. money. "Uncle Liu, let's put it this way, I can't accept your price. I won't play tricks with you. I have the idea of ????acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and my attitude is very firm. But in terms of price, I am the most I will only give you 200 million Hong Kong dollars, not a penny more. If you are willing, Uncle Liu, you can sign the contract. If you are not willing, then it will be a deal."Anyway, there are more theater chains in Hong Kong than just one owned by Uncle Liu. I can buy Boss Lei's theater chain. Anyway, he is a businessman and doesn't have much affection for the film industry. As long as my price After giving enough, he has no reason not to sell. "As for the situation on Princess Jin's side, Uncle Liu, you also know that they are not owned by the same boss. The reason why Boss Lei became the general manager of Princess Jin is because the cinema he owns is the largest and most powerful." As long as I take over the cinema owned by Boss Lei, Princess Jin and others will definitely not object to my taking over. It can also achieve the same effect. The money I spend with Boss Lei will never exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Speaking of reputation, perhaps Princess Jin's reputation is much better than that of Shaw Brothers now. After all, the audience loves the new and hates the old. Shaw Brothers' past glory does not add much to the present. Since the establishment of Golden Princess, although they cannot say that there are no bad movies at all, they at least still have good movies. And what about Shaw Brothers Cinemas? Besides my three movies, what other movies can I come up with? "Li Mingbao said with a sneer. "In 1982, Hong Kong's theater chains were actually still having a hard time. Not only Shaw Brothers, but even Golden Harvest and Princess Jin couldn't be said to be completely profitable. After all, under the general environment, Hong Kong's Movies have not yet completely matured. Although there are some good movies that have come out and won a lot of box office, most of the time, the movies shown in Hong Kong theaters are not good movies, and even at midnight screenings, they are definitely not good movies. Most movie theaters only show pornographic films, and even if they are like this, they still cannot guarantee attendance. If in two years, after 1984, the Hong Kong film industry has made great progress due to the breakthroughs of several directors, then The theater chain is really the golden baby. But now, even Boss Lei has no hope. To be honest, Boss Lei has a good vision. Maybe he can see Hong Kong movies in the 1980s. To revive, and then resolutely create a golden princess. Li Mingbao still admires his vision. But Boss Lei¡¯s life is not very good. Although he has seen the glory, he has not really waited for the good times. It is said that the 1980s was the most glorious time for Hong Kong movies, but the real glory of Hong Kong movies only lasted for a few years. Boss Lei, who gradually faded out of the entertainment industry in 1985, was actually only a little bit glorious. The glory of Hong Kong movies is not supported by New Art City alone. It is the glorious moment when hundreds of flowers bloom. New Art City may only be said to have started a glorious era, but they have not achieved the fruits of victory. I didn't enjoy much, but because of my strength in the past few years, I offended other film companies, which made the careers of several people in Mecca become difficult in the end, and they had to fade out of the circle, with no hope of comeback. When Hong Kong cinemas were truly golden, even the HK$500 million offered by Uncle Liu was a bit low, let alone HK$200 million. But now, there are still several years left before the glory days. It made Uncle Liu feel a little guilty when he asked for HK$500 million. Therefore, now that Li Mingbao is offering HK$200 million, it is really not very low. It can only be said that it is not high, but to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas at such a price. In fact, Uncle Liu didn't make much money, it can only be said that he didn't make much money. Not only did Uncle Liu understand this, but Uncle Liu also understood that it was not that he didn't want to offer a lower price. But if the price was lower, Uncle Liu would never sell it. Shaw Brothers Cinema. After all, Uncle Liu is not someone else. Although he is short of money, it is not impossible to get money. With Uncle Liu's reputation in Hong Kong, he will definitely be able to borrow some money from the bank. Maybe it is too much. Impossible, but a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars is no problem. For such a big boss, if you try to take advantage, you will end up in a mess. That's why Li Mingbao offered a price of 200 million. , not too much, not too little, just reaching Uncle Liu¡¯s standard. Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s comments, Uncle Liu¡¯s face was a little ugly, otherwise the situation of Shaw Brothers movies in the past two years was indeed very bad. He also had no idea of ??taking action. But if everyone understands this kind of thing, it¡¯s fine. Why should we say it openly? Doesn't this make it clear that Uncle Six is ??embarrassed? But Uncle Liu also knew that what Li Mingbao said was just a normal bargaining situation and had no intention of targeting him, so even if he was angry, he couldn't vent it on Li Mingbao. But Uncle Liu's anger must be vented. After this matter is over, the directors of Shaw Brothers movies will definitely become Uncle Six's punching bag. But these things have nothing to do with Li Mingbao, so Li Mingbao doesn't need to worry too much. "Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars is really too little. It's hard to explain to the outside world that a brand like Shaw Brothers only sold 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Why don't you, Mr. Li, give you a little more, 300 million Hong Kong dollars? Shaw Family Hospital" The line is yours anyway.??, compared with new cinemas, it still has many advantages. "Sixth Uncle couldn't help it, so he could only pretend to be pitiful and said.
