    After a while, Uncle Six finally spoke: "I don't think there is much of a problem in this matter. As long as their construction group can deal with the British Hong Kong government, it won't be too much trouble for us to let them come and work.  After all, they can let us invest in the mainland, and we can also let them come and help. The global trade market is free, and there is no reason why construction companies from other places cannot get through. " Uncle Liu is a knight conferred by the British side.  The relationship with the authorities is also very good. He has said so, so even if there is a problem with this matter, it will become no problem.  Besides, United Cinemas is not a small company. Every shareholder in it is a big boss. With so many big bosses gathered together, as long as things are not too egregious, the British Hong Kong government has no reason to make things difficult.  After hearing Uncle Dao Liu say that there was no problem, several other people also said that there was no problem. It was pointless for Cui Xiaoming to object, so he simply stopped talking. Not to mention that he had no say in such a matter, even the overseas film producers behind him,  Also has no say.  At this moment, Li Mingbao suddenly interjected: "Uncle Six, when we get the invitation letter there, we must indicate that we are paying in US dollars. Maybe we will get further preferential treatment."  Even an old man like Uncle Liu didn't quite understand what Li Mingbao meant by what he said.  Why does it have to be US dollars? Both Hong Kong dollars and US dollars can be exchanged freely in Hong Kong. Why should we go to the trouble of exchanging US dollars in Hong Kong?  Seeing Uncle Liu's puzzled look, Li Mingbao explained: "Mainland China is different from our Hong Kong. Even if our Hong Kong dollars are worthless, they will have their own exchange rate. If you want to exchange Hong Kong dollars for US dollars, it can be easily done."  Although the mainland also has an exchange rate, its foreign exchange is not so free. It is easy to exchange Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars in Hong Kong, but it is more troublesome for the mainland to exchange Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars because their foreign exchange reserves are very strict, even for construction groups.  If you want to exchange Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars, you have to report to the authorities. It will take a lot of time. It is better for us to do it for them in Hong Kong. Besides, it is not easy for them to earn foreign exchange, although Hong Kong dollars are also available in the mainland.  But their favorite currency is U.S. dollars, and being able to earn foreign exchange in U.S. dollars is also a political achievement for them. So if we pay in U.S. dollars, we can not only make good friends with them, but also save more money.  If we pay US dollars, they will do it for us even if they lose money. How can these companies do it for a long time? Especially for a project like ours, which requires more than a hundred movie theaters to be renovated.  It¡¯s not a small amount, and a loss of one percentage point is not a small amount.¡± Uncle Liu, who has no idea about the degree of foreign exchange urgency in mainland China, has a hard time understanding the thinking of mainland people.  The big boss in Li Mingbao¡¯s memory also came from this era. In this era of mainland China, the madness about foreign exchange is simply not something outsiders can understand.  As long as goods with an actual value of ten dollars can be sold in U.S. dollars, even if it is only five dollars, they will export it.  Anyway, in the end the national finance will subsidize their losses, and in the end it is the country that loses, not the individual collective.  For the mainland, it is not really a big loss. After all, the RMB is printed by itself, and foreign exchange belongs to others. Although the RMB is lost, the foreign exchange is made.  If Hong Kong's construction companies do this, they will be crippled if not dead. But if mainland companies do this, not only will they not be crippled, but they will also develop vigorously.  These days, even leaders must pay great attention to companies that can earn foreign exchange.  Nowadays, these construction companies are not aware of making money abroad. Although there are also foreign aid projects, they are all image projects and are lost money.  I never thought that I could make money by helping others with construction.  "Mainland is short of global hard currency, not the renminbi. It is a loss for us, but it is a good thing for them. They never have too much foreign exchange. In fact, they also need Hong Kong dollars, but the demand  The amount cannot reach the level of US dollars. If we give US dollars directly, they will be more favorable and work harder. Even if we provide some incentives, their speed will be faster. Don¡¯t look at our cinemas.  There are more than a hundred, and the amount of work is huge. If they were to do it, even if all the cinemas were razed and rebuilt, it might not take a month. "Li Mingbao looked at the problem from the perspective of an experienced person, and it was easy to find the mainland.  Weaknesses.  "But Uncle Liu, who heard Li Mingbao's words, was not surprised at all that Li Mingbao knew the mainland so well. Even several other people, including the Xiang brothers, were not surprised at all.  After all, they all know the details of Li Mingbao, and it is not impossible that he has connections with the mainland.  In other words, the only ones who are kept in the dark now are Li Mingbao and Cui Xiaoming.  "In this case, we will use U.S. dollars to pay the funds. Anyway, it is not a problem for us."? things.  I don¡¯t know how many dollars it would cost to hire them.  If the construction companies in Hong Kong were to do it, the renovation of more than 100 cinemas would probably cost about 30 million.  The number of screens will double.  After all, some movie theaters are very troublesome now. They have land but not much space. If they want to meet the requirements, they have to tear down and rebuild. Although there are not many such movie theaters, they are much more expensive than simple decoration.  "Uncle Six reported. "If we use a company from Hong Kong, 30 million Hong Kong dollars is about the same, but in terms of time, it will take them at least three months to complete all the decorations.  But if we can hire a construction group, we can pay it in U.S. dollars and get it done with two million U.S. dollars, and they will prepare all the materials themselves, so we don¡¯t have to worry about it at all. It¡¯s a one-stop service, and the time it takes may be a month to get it done.  .  "Li Mingbao thought for a moment before saying this figure. "Two million US dollars is not a big figure for Li Mingbao and the others. But if this invitation letter is really sent, the construction group in the mainland will definitely fight for the scalp.  Yes, you must know that there is not only one construction group in mainland China, but more than ten. In terms of foreign exchange, the current foreign exchange reserves in mainland China are less than 7 billion US dollars. Don¡¯t look at 7 billion US dollars.  But in a place as big as the mainland, the foreign exchange reserves may not be as large as the Chinese families in Hong Kong, so two million US dollars in hard currency is definitely not small for them. How many resources do they have to sell to get it?  Just by helping Li Mingbao and the others to build a movie theater, everyone would think that this deal would be very profitable. Not to mention bringing their own dry food and one-stop service, even if they help Li Mingbao and the others build two more buildings, there would be no problem. "  Two million dollars?  Is it a little less?  Local companies in Hong Kong still have to spend 30 million Hong Kong dollars, converted into US dollars, which is about 4 million.  But when people from the mainland bring their own materials, but you have to cut the price in half, they may not be willing to take over such a project.  "Uncle Liu frowned and said to Li Mingbao. "Others say that Uncle Liu is desperate for money, but looking at Li Mingbao's current appearance, he is desperate for money than he is. The construction cost of four million US dollars is as high as that in mainland China.  Bian Li Mingbao actually only gave two million US dollars. Although it saved money, the reason for coming to the construction group from the mainland was not just to save money. In fact, it was also to build relationships. Now Li Mingbao is doing this to save money.  But building connections is simply impossible. With so little money, how can you build connections? So although Uncle Liu is a money-saver, he has different opinions on this issue. It¡¯s rare to see Uncle Liu being generous.  He said with a wry smile: ¡°Two million US dollars is actually attractive enough for mainland construction companies.  Uncle Liu, you may not know that if you invest in the mainland now, one million US dollars will have to attract at least one department-level municipal party secretary, and most of the people who will come out to receive you are deputy provincial-level cadres.  With an investment of 10 million US dollars, you can basically get an interview with the national leader.  Two million U.S. dollars for the project is definitely not a small sum for them.  If we offer a price of four million US dollars, as long as our cinema can meet the conditions, they can build us a three-story cinema, from two or three screens to seven or eight screens.  And the materials are definitely the best.  It can be used for hundreds of years without any problem.  " "How can it be so cheap?  Li Sheng, are you kidding me?  "Don't say that Uncle Liu didn't believe it. Except for Li Mingbao, everyone present didn't believe that there could be such a cheap thing. If it is like what Li Mingbao said, hiring a construction company from the mainland to do the construction is not saving money at all.  It's so simple to build relationships, it's just taking advantage. If there is such a good thing, even if the British Hong Kong government cares about it, it will be done by the scum.  People who deal with the government are willing to offend the British Hong Kong government. ¡°Whether it¡¯s a joke or not, you can actually prove it with just one phone call.  I don¡¯t believe Uncle Liu that you don¡¯t have contact information on the mainland. You should have a relationship with Xinhua News Agency, right?  Call them and ask them, everything will be clear.  If it's as cheap as I said, just do whatever you want.  "Li Mingbao simply pushed this matter to Xinhua News Agency. No matter how he explained, it was not as powerful as the official government explanation there. "In this case, it seems that the issue of our theater decoration needs to be considered in the long term.  "Uncle Six said with emotion. "Originally we were just talking about the renovation of movie theaters in the theater chain, but after Li Mingbao said that mainland China was asking for money and cheaper, the simple issue of movie theater renovation became further and further away.  After hearing the cost, Uncle Six couldn't help but want to take advantage of it. Labor in Hong Kong is already expensive, and at this time, the news from the mainland is not very transparent, so for everyone.??There is common sense news there, and even a well-informed person like Uncle Liu has no idea about it.  At this time in the mainland, when a house can be built for a few hundred yuan, labor is not worth much at all.  A pound of first-grade meat only costs more than one yuan, and this is still in a big city.  It is difficult for people here in Hong Kong to understand the prices on the mainland.
