    (Yesterday¡¯s third chapter is now completed, and the seven-day commitment last Wednesday is now completed. I would like to thank Engels¡¯s book friend 390470 Jun Chenshang and other children¡¯s shoes for the reward. Thank you all for your support and love.) Since both parties have changed  If you have to be shrewd, then this condition is not so easy to talk about.  Uncle Liu has always been a stingy person. Before, he just didn't understand the market, so it made people feel generous. But now that he understands that even two million US dollars can make money for the mainland, then Uncle Liu's stinginess will disappear.  Did it again.  A energy insists that there must be no more than three million US dollars, and there are only more construction companies named Hong Kong to engage in engineering.  And Zheng Wenyun is unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. Since it is not easy to increase the price, we will increase the quantity.  "Shao Daheng, Mr. Li, otherwise, since you want to renovate the cinemas, and some of them have to be demolished and rebuilt, you might as well take advantage of labor costs and demolish and rebuild all the cinemas you have now.  These cinemas in Hong Kong are very old, and most of them are old buildings. It is better to take this opportunity to demolish them all. The quality of the construction there is completely guaranteed, and we can do it in the most professional way in one step.  The design ensures that the space is fully utilized, rather than just repairing everything. Our asking price is not high, five million US dollars, including building the house and decorating everything. In the end, we just need to put in the screening.  With the equipment, we can open for business immediately," Zheng Wenyun said seriously.  "Five million US dollars? Isn't it more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. We have no intention of paying that much money." Hearing that Zheng Wenyun actually asked for five million US dollars in the end, Liu Shu's hair was on fire.  Isn't it just to save money when we first asked mainland construction companies to come in?  We haven't saved any money yet. All the extra money has gone out. How can Uncle Liu, who is so penniless, accept such a price?  But apart from Sixth Uncle, Li Mingbao and the Xiang brothers were all a little moved.  This was more than a hundred movie theaters that were all demolished and rebuilt, and they were built entirely according to the design of the movie theater, rather than being rebuilt from other houses.  If we really want to do this, five million dollars doesn¡¯t seem like much.  There are more than 100 movie theaters. Such a big project needs to be done by these Hong Kong companies. Even if they don¡¯t let you pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars, it will be considered a great kindness on their part.  Now you can get such good conditions for less than half the price. Although the money is more, the effect is better.  If we really get everything done, the quality of United Cinemas¡¯ cinemas will be greatly improved.  Even if the price doubled, they wouldn't be considered evil.  It seems that Zou Wenhuai is also considering whether this is really necessary at this time. Although the money is more money now, it will really be of great benefit to the future of United Cinemas.  Li Mingbao was also moved by the price proposed by Zheng Wenyun. Although the price far exceeded his expectations, if he really wanted to do it like this, the final investment in theaters would definitely increase greatly.  Perhaps twenty or thirty years from now, the biggest investment in building a cinema will be land and construction.  But now, the biggest investment in a good cinema is electronic equipment, that is, audio and projection equipment.  Construction doesn't have to cost that much.  Although the land is valuable, the land for the movie theaters of United Cinemas is controlled by their shareholders, and there is basically no leased land.  ¡°Perhaps before the establishment of the United Cinemas, many cinemas basically joined the three major cinemas. The real control was not in the hands of Uncle Liu and the others.  However, the establishment of United Cinemas means that the small shareholders in the major cinemas in the past no longer have a foothold.  The first people to be eaten by Li Mingbao were the small shareholders in Shaw Brothers.  And Princess Jin and Jiahe, who joined later, also worked hard to digest all their internal personnel.  After all, if a United Cinemas chain is really to be established, if there are still small shareholders participating, those small shareholders will also join the United Cinemas, so that they can also obtain the equity of the United Cinemas. By then, the banners of Princess Jin and Jiahe will be weakened.  Therefore, for the safety of their own shares, before they decided to join United Cinemas, Boss Zou and Boss Lei spent their own money to take over the cinemas from those small shareholders. This ensured that they had a stake in United Cinemas.  20% of the shares.  ¡°Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun to obtain such high shares based on the small shareholders of the cinema.  Of course, this was also a painful decision for Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, because when acquiring these cinemas, they were all deprived of a large amount of working capital.  ¡°Otherwise, Zheng Wenyun¡¯s words just now would have touched their hearts immediately.  Who doesn¡¯t like their movie theater to be modern and state-of-the-art?  That would not only mean that the quality of your cinema would be improved, but it would also mean that there would be a lot more screens in the cinema, and more importantly, it would increase ticket prices.  There is such a thingThe advantages of ? are that some minor problems now can be completely suppressed. When a new cinema is established in the future, it will become easier to get back the money.  But although Zou Wenhuai and the others were tempted, they just didn't have much money on hand. If they really wanted to spend so much money on decoration, they wouldn't have enough liquidity in their hands.  They not only own movie theaters, but also movie companies. Although the movie companies can quickly repay their money when shooting movies, they must at least have money to shoot movie theaters. They cannot let the United Cinemas squeeze out all the funds they have.  What about making a movie?  So after Zheng Wenyun tried his best to sell it, two major factions emerged among the people in the conference room. One faction thought that overhauling was a good idea and could save a lot of money in the future.  Representatives of this group are Li Mingbao and the Xiang brothers. Li Mingbao agrees to repair now because he knows that in less than two years, housing prices in Hong Kong will rise faster than anything else, which further establishes Li Chaoren's status.  The Xiang brothers agreed because they had listened to Li Mingbao's words before and said they should spend the Hong Kong dollars as soon as possible or exchange them for other currencies, otherwise they would lose money.  ¡°The other group just doesn¡¯t support large-scale construction.  The one who was most opposed to this was Uncle Liu, a man who valued cost more than anything else. He wanted to spend a lot of money, knowing that it would be good for him, but he couldn't bear to do it.  Although Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun also disapproved, it was not because they disapproved in their hearts, but because they really didn't have enough money. Otherwise, they were also in favor. Who would benefit in the end if the cinema was repaired?  Aren't they just people like them? Spend money now and earn more money in the future. Who can't solve this problem?  As for Cui Xiaoming, who represents the interests of overseas film producers, he has become invisible again at this time. It is not his turn to intervene in this matter at all. He can just report it when the time comes.  Seeing that Uncle Liu immediately came out to object, Zheng Wenyun was not angry. He could not be angry with a person like Uncle Liu. After finally seeing such a way to make money, Zheng Wenyun could not help but tossing hard at this time.  "Uncle Liu, you see you will definitely make a profit from this deal. Except for our construction company, you can't find it so cheap in the world. With only 40 million Hong Kong dollars, you can renovate all the theaters in Hong Kong.  , such a good business, you can't find it even with a lantern, so only we can complete it for you on time, according to the work and quality, it's better to save money now than to do it slowly later, right?  In this world, money is spent freely. Now we can do anything with 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Maybe in two years' time, we will only be able to do half of it with 40 million Hong Kong dollars.  , it is really a loss. Therefore, it is better to do this sooner rather than later, so that everyone can be stable. Don't think it will cost a lot of money at once, but it will be scary if the water flows slowly in the future.  "Who is that?" "As expected of Lao Jianghu, who has been in Hong Kong for many years, his understanding of the situation in the capital society is not comparable to that of ordinary officials in mainland China. His business methods are not inferior even to those of Hong Kong businessmen.  Of course, this is what Zheng Wenyun says to others. If he deals with ordinary people, let alone selling at a reduced price, Zheng Wenyun may not make such a line even if the price is par. Even if the other party offers US dollars, this may not make Zheng Wenyun work so hard.  After all, this is something without precedent, who knows what will happen in the end.  China's officialdom has had a law since ancient times, that is, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make less mistakes, and if you don't do it, you will be good. Who likes political achievements, but if there are troublesome political achievements, even if they produce big results, most of them will  People don't like to get involved, because that means not only political achievements, but also problems.  It¡¯s not easy for anyone to get to this level. If others cause trouble, many things will happen.  The reason why Zheng Wenyun is so active this time is simply because of the group of people in front of him.  Whether it is Liu Shu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, or even Li Mingbao and the Xiang brothers, their status in Hong Kong is extraordinary. Even if they cannot compare with the top Hong Kong rich, the industry they are in is special.  .  At this moment, everyone wants to win over such a person.  Li Mingbao and others want to connect with the mainland, and the mainland also has the same idea. After all, Hong Kong's return requires some local Hong Kong people to wave the flag and shout. Even at the worst, they must remain neutral and cannot completely oppose it.  Li Mingbao and the others now have such a cooperation, and their future dealings will be much better.  ¡°Coupled with the fact that the U.S. dollar is a big killer, Zheng Wenyun, a high-level official in the mainland who is a deputy minister, couldn¡¯t help but start a hawker.  Those who can be sent to Hong Kong by the mainland are more elite than ordinary mainland officials. They know better how to play their role, rather than being a clay Buddha.  Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Zheng Wenyun made such a businessman move.  But Zheng Wenyun¡¯s efforts did not work with Uncle Liu.No matter how small the effect is, Uncle Liu's determination to control costs allows him to endure no matter how great the benefits are.  So Uncle Liu still shook his head and said: "No, no, even if this is of great benefit. But in terms of cost, it is difficult for us to accept it. If you do this, the construction period will not be long. It will take a few months at most, and we will have to spare it all at once."  Five million dollars is a huge sum of money, which is very troublesome.¡±
