Li Mingbao's attitude was very firm, and Lao Wang did not want to give up his idea at the same time. After hearing Li Mingbao say that he would rather increase costs than reduce quality, Lao Wang had another idea. "Okay, Boss Li, since you said that this kind of construction standard is low, then we can think of another way. You just said that you would rather invest more than reduce the service quality of the cinema, so Boss Li just Just increase investment. We will still build 2,000 movie theaters by then. Boss Li will just make up for the extra funding gap, so that both of us will be satisfied," Lao Wang said. Hearing what Lao Wang said, Li Mingbao immediately understood Lao Wang's plan. He was planning to kill him as a big business owner. Didn't you say that you would rather increase investment than reduce service quality? That's fine, we will meet your request and we won't mind at all if you invest more money without reducing the number of cinemas. "After Lao Wang said this, Li Mingbao was indeed very moved. Even if we go by the original standard, which is to invest US$300 million in 300 movie theaters, each movie theater will cost US$1 million, and 2,000 movie theaters will be an investment of US$2 billion. With so much money, Li Mingbao could actually get it out if he really put his effort into it. Money is not a problem for him. Especially as the industry in the United States becomes more and more popular, the North American market alone may bring him US$500 million in revenue next year. As for outside North America, he can also get at least US$500 million in licensing fees. US dollars, or even billions of US dollars are not unusual, so his annual income in the next few years will definitely not be less than one billion US dollars. The construction of movie theaters here in mainland China will be equivalent to his income in two years at most. That's it, it's not a huge sum of money. But Li Mingbao knows very well that money is not a problem for him. The key to the problem lies in the cultivation of talents. If he has money, the mainland can open the market for him, but he does not have the right talents to manage such a market. Then the final result will be to be overwhelmed by the mainland market. This is definitely not a joke. Didn¡¯t so many companies in mainland China in the 1990s kill themselves for this reason? The conditions he has now are better than those of private bosses. The government has given him the green light. Even in the market, no one competes with him. Logically speaking, such a place is a paradise for businessmen. like existence. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that such a paradise does not mean that there are no risks at all. Even if the 300 cinemas he planned before are fully operational, it will be a moderate test for Li Mingbao's men. Without spending two or three years, it is impossible to properly direct such a cinema chain. . If there are a thousand movie theaters, then the reserve talents that Li Mingbao has now may become completely unable to run movie theaters, and even basic management work may not be able to do it well. And if two thousand cinemas are built according to Lao Wang's proposal, then the cinema chain in this mainland will definitely collapse. Even the most basic accounting will have serious problems. By then, the managers of the cinemas below will Using some tricks can make managers like Li Mingbao vomit blood. Not to mention making money, it would be a blessing to be able to avoid being exhausted by movie theaters and causing the collapse of Li Mingbao's other industries. With so many experiences and lessons, how could Li Mingbao not know that with the lessons learned, if Li Mingbao still makes mistakes on this issue, he would really be an idiot. Although the market is good, gluttony will only lead to death. His current ability cannot support such a situation at all. Even if he recruits people with high salary, there will be no good results. It is basically impossible to find such high-end talents even in the world who have the experience of managing 2,000 movie theaters. This also includes North America. After all, Li Mingbao's cinema is not an old-fashioned cinema, but a new one. Each cinema has at least two screens, and ideally, there will be four. Two thousand movie theaters will have 8,000 screens, which is equivalent to half of the total in the current American market. The movie theater chain market in the United States is divided into many companies. The most powerful theater chain overlords don¡¯t have more than 5,000 movie screens in their hands. And reaching such a scale did not happen overnight, but was the result of gradual accumulation over decades. Cinemas and screens are all easy to get. As long as you have money, there is nothing that can't be done. But professional management talents are a problem. Not to mention that Li Mingbao can't find such talents. Even if he can find them, he can't dig them out. Managers with such experience have basically not appeared in these years, even if they are Those managers who are close to them are either the backbone of other companies, and they cannot be poached by Li Mingbao casually. Even if they can be poached, the price will be very high, and Li Mingbao will also have to offend a whole family.Company. Even a person like this is one of the shareholders of those theater chains. How can Li Mingbao dig out such a person? No matter how good a hoe is, it can't dig through an iron wall. " If Li Mingbao is really lucky to get such a professional talent, it will actually be equivalent to taking the first step. There will be more problems that need to be solved in the future. No matter how good the person at the helm is, if there is no one below, they are not just watching. What is the concept of two thousand movie theaters? This is equivalent to asking Li Mingbao to provide 2,000 cinema management managers at once. These are grassroots managers. Just 2,000 people with experience in managing cinemas. Li Mingbao will not be able to provide them at least within five years. . Even if he worked hard to train them, he couldn't train them. In the end, he could only poach people at a high price. The price paid was higher than that of the helmsman. Although the price of each person could not be higher than that of the helmsman, two thousand The quantity of individuals is enough to push the quality to the limit. And even if you solve this problem, you still need to have at least two cashiers, one accountant, and at least three ticket sellers for each cinema below. We also need to add sideline management personnel. A cinema like this will have a minimum configuration of 20 people. Calculated in this way, the grassroots personnel including management of 2,000 cinemas will need at least 40,000 professionals. With so many people, it is called Where did Li Mingbao find him? These are still people at the grassroots level, and each city¡¯s cinema must be equipped with at least one regional manager, which is considered the middle level. And each province needs at least one general manager, which is the top level, and the headquarters of the theater chain must also have There are many high-level officials to allocate resources in various regions, which requires at least no less than 300 people. Let¡¯s put it this way, okay. Li Mingbao had to pay at least 2,000 grassroots managers for this cinema chain. This was still the minimum configuration. Under normal circumstances, a cinema would have at least one manager and one deputy manager. If anything happened, it would not be a problem. Once paralyzed, there are another two thousand people. The minimum standard requirement is 4,000 lower-level managers. The number of middle-level managers will not be less than 500, and the number of senior-level managers will not be less than 100. ¡°Coupled with other related personnel, just to officially operate 2,000 movie theaters, Li Mingbao¡¯s industry will require no less than 50,000 people. There are so many people, and a large part of them are managers. Let alone Li Mingbao, even other big bosses in the film industry in Hong Kong cannot afford it. Perhaps even Li Mingbao and all the bosses in Hong Kong combined may not be able to have so many professional talents. And to fully train capable manpower, who can truly manage two thousand movie theaters, if Li Mingbao can do it alone, then maybe it will take ten years to succeed, which is considered to be Li Mingbao's outstanding ability. After a little calculation, Li Mingbao¡¯s head felt dizzy. In the past, maybe Li Mingbao didn't have too deep sense of those companies that were struggling to death, so he took it as a lesson, and it was only a superficial lesson. In fact, Li Mingbao felt that those companies were making some mistakes, and he was struggling to death, which was considered a weird thing in the corporate world. . But now when Li Mingbao really considered the development of the company, especially when Lao Wang proposed to build two thousand cinemas at once, and after a little calculation of the manpower needed, Li Mingbao immediately realized deeply why those companies would do it themselves. Push yourself to death. For no other reason than for so many management talents, Li Mingbao understood how those companies died. Even a capable person like him feels unable to absorb talents. He feels that if he can barely meet Lao Wang's requirements after spending ten years, he can be considered very capable at work. People who occupy the time, geographical interests, people and conditions are afraid to make the pace so big, and a little faster are afraid to get the eggs. Those who were born in the wilderness and move forward in a reckless way, thinking that they can do anything if they have money, if the company they build does not succeed, then it is really unreasonable and they have ruined themselves. In a market like mainland China Well, it¡¯s really not a difficult question. After thoroughly understanding that Lao Wang's tempting terms were a big trap, Li Mingbao refused simply and neatly: "Lao Wang, I don't think we need to discuss this matter. There is really no need to discuss it anymore. I I just did a little calculation in my mind and realized that if you really want me to build 2,000 movie theaters, I will definitely be dragged to death by this project. Even the 300 movie theaters I calculated before will require me to build 2,000 movie theaters. Only by recruiting all the people who can be used can we meet the most basic needs, and that¡¯s only if I recruit another group of people in Hong Kong. If you really want me to open 2,000 movie theaters, I won¡¯t be able to do that. There is no other way. Although I can easily invest in 2,000 movie theaters, I have a big gap in the management staff of the theater chain. I may not be able to guarantee the staff for 300 movie theaters. The arrangements are complete, let alone??Two thousand families, even if it is doubled in size, I will not have enough people on hand. So there¡¯s really no need to talk about this matter. I don¡¯t want to be overwhelmed by the mainland market. "
