    If Uncle Liu could still hide his thoughts, Fang Yihua on the side would not have such a good temper.  Originally, Fang Yihua came here to facilitate her relationship with Li Mingbao. If Li Mingbao brought a female companion, it would be nice to have someone to talk to and follow the line of lady diplomacy.  Li Mingbao did bring someone with him, and it was Zhong Chuhong, whom everyone was familiar with, but Fang Yihua, who was used to being a big boss, might be a little more kind if she faced someone who was about the same age as herself.  But the problem is that the age gap between Zhong Chuhong and her is too big, and they are still from Wireless. Fang Yihua is the boss of Zhong Chuhong's boss.  Under such circumstances, Fang Yihua unknowingly assumed the role of the boss while chatting, and made Zhong Chuhong stunned for a while. It did not look like equal communication at all.  ¡°Perhaps Fang Yihua himself realized this, so in the subsequent conversation, Fang Yihua focused mainly on the conversation between Li Mingbao and Liu Shu. In this way, the pressure Zhong Chuhong felt would be much less.  Facts have proved that Fang Yihua's effect is good. Between her and Zhong Chuhong, no conversation or less conversation is more effective than conversation. At least at this time, Zhong Chuhong is not so nervous.  "But when Li Mingbao talked about the actor's contract, Fang Yihua couldn't sit still, especially now, after Li Mingbao said all the advantages and disadvantages, Uncle Liu was not easy to talk for a while, so Fang Yihua spoke.  "Li Sheng, you know what an actor's contract means to us, TVB. It's hard for us to let go of such a thing. TVB is not Jiahe, and its development to this point relies on the original system. Now we need to  Releasing the actor's contract is equivalent to changing the system. This will not only affect the actor's contract, but also other contracts. Wireless is no different from your Li Sheng industry. You can change whatever you want.  For profit, you can give up the rules. But until now, Wireless has relied on rules to gain a foothold. If the original rules are changed, it will affect not only the actors, but also other people.  , the risk for our Wireless is too great. Even if there are a lot of benefits, it is difficult for us to take action. This not only requires Uncle Liu¡¯s ideas, but also the ideas of others. Wireless is not Uncle Liu.  In Yiyantang, there are many people with combined interests. Li Sheng, you can use your interests to impress Uncle Liu, but you may not be able to impress other people. After all, people at Uncle Liu's age want to pursue a new path.  Although you may get good returns, you have to guard against the risks involved. You can't lose all your money because of a decision when you are old, right? "Many times, it is not convenient for Uncle Liu to say something.  , all came out of Fang Yihua¡¯s mouth.  Just like now, Uncle Six couldn't express his position, so Fang Yihua consciously said what Uncle Six should have said.  What Fang Yihua said makes sense in general companies. After all, in a company, even if it starts from scratch, over decades, some interest groups will inevitably gather under the boss.  Li Mingbao doesn't have such trouble now, because the only companies he can really be considered as an industrial player are United Cinemas and DreamWorks in the United States.  Although there are many problems with the United Cinemas, Li Mingbao does not require full control. That is very unrealistic. After all, when the United Cinemas was established, in order to quickly integrate its strength, Li Mingbao made compromises in many aspects and took control.  The intensity is not very strong.  Solving these troubles does not happen overnight.  Li Mingbao has never thought about completely controlling United Cinemas in his own hands. That would be too difficult.  There are more than 100 movie theaters, and the only consortium of interests in them is Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest Princess.  Because even in their cinema, there are some other small groups below, and they can't control much.  It is even more difficult for United Cinemas to fully control it than to open another cinema chain with more than 100 cinemas.  Therefore, Li Mingbao had no intention to completely control this thing in his own hands. As long as the general direction can listen to him, the establishment of the United Cinemas will be his success.  Of course, if there is an opportunity to integrate again in the future, Li Mingbao will do it.  But at least now, Li Mingbao doesn't have that chance.  Perhaps after the period from Christmas to Spring Festival is over and mainland construction companies come to renovate and build new cinemas, Li Mingbao can truly take control of some cinemas.  Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t want to make any plans for old movie theaters, but for those movie theaters built on newly bought land by Li Mingbao, others will definitely not be able to interfere. Only these movie theaters can be regarded as direct descendants of Li Mingbao.  Speaking of mainland construction companies, Li Mingbao feels that this is the most correct thing that United Cinemas has done since its establishment.  Li Mingbao recently acquired the land to build a movie theater.  I got eighteen yuan.  ThisAmong them, the only land purchased with US dollars was a piece of land of more than 2,000 square meters. As for the other land, all were paid in Hong Kong dollars.  Although the money Li Mingbao planned to use to buy land was only 200 million Hong Kong dollars.  But Li Mingbao's actual expenditure was more than 220 million Hong Kong dollars, plus US$10 million.  The actual money used to buy the land has actually been more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.  Although he spent more, Li Mingbao was very satisfied. You know, being able to win the $10 million piece of land was actually an unexpected surprise.  You can own more than 2,000 square meters of land in the most prosperous area. Even if you put it there and wait for appreciation, it can offset other money. If this land is sold in the 1990s, the land alone can be sold.  It costs hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If another building is built on it, it will cost at least more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.  Therefore, spending more money to buy land is equivalent to a gain for Li Mingbao. Although Li Mingbao does not intend to get involved in the real estate industry, having land in his hands always makes people happy.  And the total number of pieces of land that can be acquired is eighteen, which means that Li Mingbao will control eighteen leading theater chains in the future. Compared with other people, he has a much greater advantage.  Even if new forces want to enter the industry in the future, Li Mingbao's eighteen cinemas will be a threshold that they can't get around no matter what.  There are surprises when buying land, and there are also surprises when renovating a movie theater.  Although there are inevitably many problems involved, such as so many people from the mainland wanting to come over for construction work, the British Hong Kong government is very nervous.  But fortunately, there are some people in the United Cinemas who have good relations with the British Hong Kong government, such as old guys like Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai, which offset some of the doubts of the British Hong Kong government.  In addition, Li Mingbao is now considered an insider of Hong Kong businessmen, and he has met many people while lending money. Although Li Mingbao does not care about their attitudes, they still have to do some things for Li Mingbao after they take the money.  Return the favor.  ¡°And the mainland also attaches great importance to such a project. Even a Central Committee member paid special attention to this matter and put pressure on the British Hong Kong government.  After the three parties coordinated, the British Hong Kong government finally relaxed.  If this is a contest at the upper level, then in the contest at the lower level, the Xiang brothers and the Huo family also contributed a lot.  The construction companies here in Hong Kong have more or less corporate backgrounds. If an ordinary company wants to build a building on its own site, it cannot get around some local construction snakes. Among them  Whether it's materials or labor, everything has to go through their hands before it can go smoothly.  As for the United Cinemas project, those people will not get any benefit at all, because whether it is labor or materials, United Cinemas intends to hand it over directly to mainland construction companies. In this way, the local construction companies will not get anything.  benefit.  Under normal circumstances, even if the people above make the decision, the people below will do something about such a project. After all, for them, mainland construction companies have overstepped their bounds. If they don¡¯t teach them a lesson, why?  Can it reflect their majesty?  "But United Cinemas is obviously not a soft persimmon. After finalizing the upper-level contract, the people below asked the Huo family and the Xiang brothers to give them some warnings to stop these people from playing tricks.  Of course, Li Mingbao and the others also paid some money to buy the road, which was only 6 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if this matter was completed, it would just not happen again.  If mainland companies want to do this kind of project in the future, they will have to continue talking about it.  As for whether the negotiation can be successful, this is none of Li Mingbao's business, but something that other bosses who entrust the mainland to do things need to consider.  ¡°If it were just the original project volume, mainland construction companies would be very happy to receive US$5 million.  But then add Li Mingbao's business of eighteen leading theater chains. For them, if the price is still the same as before, their profits will not be much. After all, no matter how valuable the RMB is, it is also a cost. The cost loss is too much, and the construction  It¡¯s not easy for the company to explain, right?  Fortunately, Li Mingbao did not intend to take advantage of this thing, and directly offered another five million US dollars for them to build his own private eighteen cinemas, so that both parties would be able to explain it easily.  Li Mingbao¡¯s price tag of US$5 million is indeed a bit high. Mainland construction companies only spent US$5 million on demolishing and rebuilding more than a hundred movie theaters. Li Mingbao¡¯s eighteen movie theaters required that much. This project  The oil and water looks huge.  ¡°In fact, Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t have a lot of money and no place to spend it, because not all of his eighteen cinemas are low-rise buildings with three or four floors.  Just like that piece of land in Central, Li Mingbao originally spent 10 million US dollars. Just building a movie theater is obviously a waste.  So for this building, Li Mingbao asked the mainland to build a building with more than 30 floors, which could reach a height of 100 meters.  Although it is not the tallest building in Hong Kong, it is not too low, especially nowadays.In Central, it can be regarded as a rare high-rise building.  At least a large part of Li Mingbao's five million US dollars was spent on this building, and the remaining money was distributed to seventeen other cinemas.  If you really think about it, there are companies all over the world that are capable of producing such a building and can accept such a price. Except for mainland China, other companies simply cannot produce such a building at such a price, and they cannot even maintain the cost.
