After understanding that outsourcing was a trouble, Li Mingbao discovered a new trouble. That is, if the procurement of these equipment really requires the use of domestic equipment, then my previous ideas will not become a reality at all. After all, the prices of industrial products in China these days are completely different from those in foreign countries. Although in fact, the production cost of these things in China is not much different from that of foreign good goods. Although the labor cost is low, the price of industrial products is still relatively expensive because of the price of China's current production resources, especially industrial resources. , which is actually much more expensive than abroad. In this way, the advantage of labor cost is directly offset, so that Chinese industrial products have no advantage over foreign products in terms of price, and the quality is even worse. a lot of. This is the most troublesome part of primary industrial society. In this era, China's industrial product exports seem to be cheaper than foreign products. Although the quality is a little worse, the good news is that they are cheap enough that some people buy some. But this cheap price actually allows state subsidies and export tax rebates. In addition, the value of the currency is lower than the US dollar, which gives it a slight advantage. But Li Mingbao may not be able to enjoy such advantages in cinema projects, because projects like his are not considered exports for those products, so Li Mingbao cannot enjoy tax rebates and subsidies, and the exchange rate difference, Li Mingbao also couldn't enjoy it. This is not Li Mingbao¡¯s imagination, but a practical problem. Anyway, the meat is rotten in China. Naturally, the country will not take advantage of it. It is not easy to get such an order with some content, so those domestic state-owned enterprises, The price will definitely not be reduced, otherwise how will they make money? It would be fine if Li Mingbao paid in US dollars, but the problem is that Li Mingbao's investment is for domestic planning, which means that the implementation of the money is with the bank, not the implementation. When they go to every production factory, what they can get, that is, RMB, will definitely not be US dollars. The US dollars cannot reach them at all. Although Li Mingbao actually pays the country in US dollars, this thing, You simply cannot negotiate terms with the mainland. Logically speaking, such a thing would not cause trouble to Li Mingbao. However, although the price of domestic equipment is similar to that of foreign countries, the price of domestically produced equipment is just about the same as the lowest price of foreign products. In this case, the problem arises. Previously, Li Mingbao wanted to buy products from top brands. Not only were these products durable and well-maintained, they were also top-notch in terms of price. And if this purchase order is placed domestically, although the actual price of the product is similar to that abroad, Li Mingbao will still suffer a slight loss on this point. But can Li Mingbao buy top-notch equipment in China? This is obviously unrealistic, because the country simply does not have the conditions to produce top-level equipment. Their prices are the same as those abroad. They only ensure that the prices of low-end products are the same. Intermediate and high-end products are definitely not produced in China. Otherwise, departments like CCTV would not be able to use domestic products. Since there are no mid-level products and high-end products, even if Li Mingbao wants to spend money on equipment, he can't spend it. For equipment such as audio and projection, the price gap between one level and the next is actually very large. The price of two sets of low-level products may not buy one set of mid-level products, and the price of three or more sets of mid-level products may not buy top-level products. The gap between them is quite big. ¡°Originally, if we were to purchase foreign products, a set of top-level equipment might cost six to seven million U.S. dollars. In this way, the equipment used by 300 cinemas will occupy just enough funds. But it is compulsory to buy domestic equipment. It may not cost 300,000 yuan to buy such a set of equipment. This is still the top domestic product, and it is absolutely a one-stop treatment. Which factory can get such a set of equipment? They At least there will be a profit of tens of thousands. It doesn¡¯t matter if the equipment is cheap. The key is that if such equipment is used, one result will be that Li Mingbao¡¯s money will not be spent just to build 300 cinemas. There's only one way to spend $300 million, and that's to build more movie theaters. Li Mingbao actually wants to build more movie theaters, and even make the mainland like Hong Kong, where the joint theater chain dominates and has no time to let other theater chains breathe. But Li Mingbao himself also knew that he did not have the ability to dominate the entire Chinese cinema market. The result would be to strangle himself to death. In this way, what money would he make? Everything would be in vain. Thinking of the consequences, Li Mingbao shuddered a little. "Old Wang, if we purchase all domestic equipment, there is a problem. My previous plan was to build 300 cinemas. If I purchase foreign equipment, I will just spend all the money. But if I purchase domestic equipment There are only 300 movie theaters with the equipment, which is not enough.?It is impossible to spend all the money no matter how much you spend. This problem is rather difficult to solve. "Li Mingbao was worried that he would encounter a lot of trouble if he occupied more cinema line shares in the future, so he didn't want to open more cinemas at all. But if this problem was not solved, he would not be able to spend all his money, so he had to ask for help. Lao Wang, asked Lao Wang to think of a solution for him. But how could Lao Wang understand Li Mingbao's thoughts? After hearing that Li Mingbao was not a problem, Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You can't spend all the money." ? How is it possible. I said, Boss Li, why do you think you only have 300 cinemas? Can't you make more movies? With an investment as big as yours, you can definitely build more movie theaters, and it can also solve the problem of a small number of movie theaters in our country. What our country needs now is not top-quality cinemas, but cinemas that satisfy the entertainment life of the people. If there are not many in number, how can we solve such troubles? According to me, for an investment like yours to build cinemas in China, it would be appropriate to build at least a thousand cinemas. If we budget carefully, it won't be a problem to have 2,000 movie theaters. Isn't this much better than opening 300 movie theaters? What we want now is quantity, quality cannot be controlled so much. It is good to watch movies. Compared with watching movies in the open air, being able to watch movies in a cinema is already a matter of enjoyment, and there is not so much to pay attention to. " "How many? Two thousand families, Lao Wang, are you kidding me? If I build 2,000 movie theaters, I won¡¯t have enough money just to buy the equipment. How can I have the money to build movie theaters? I know that prices in mainland China are not high, but they are not that low, right? If there were two thousand cinemas, wouldn't the cost of each cinema be less than three hundred thousand? How can a movie theater be so cheap? "Li Mingbao was really speechless for the data that Lao Wang said. After hearing Li Mingbao's words, Lao Wang said seriously: "Do you think 300,000 yuan is less? Perhaps in the eyes of Boss Li, this amount of money is very small, but in our country, three hundred thousand is no longer a small amount. Let alone building a small cinema, even if it is to build a building, three hundred thousand is not a small amount. They are absolutely enough. So Boss Li, don¡¯t underestimate the purchasing power of 300,000 yuan. " "I don't underestimate the purchasing power of RMB. The main thing is that in my opinion, 300,000 RMB can only buy a set of equipment. How can we build a movie theater without enough money? You know, the cinema I want to build is not an old-fashioned cinema, but a new cinema like Hong Kong. A cinema will have at least two screening halls. Coupled with the construction of the cinema, one million yuan can build one. I am very satisfied with the cinemas. I can expand to 600 cinemas at most. If there are more cinemas, the money will not be enough. "Li Mingbao said. "Who told you that you can buy a set of equipment with 300,000 yuan? I have never seen such expensive projection equipment. Is it possible that you use such expensive projection equipment in Hong Kong? "Lao Wang was shocked when he heard the price mentioned by Li Mingbao. "Of course we don't use equipment worth 300,000 yuan in Hong Kong. We use equipment worth 600,000 US dollars. That equipment is definitely top-notch. In this field, In terms of cost, even if it is a joint theater chain, only leading theater chains will be equipped with equipment. Ordinary movie theaters basically use equipment worth 300,000 US dollars. That¡¯s why I said before that the price of the equipment is the big factor. Is it possible that mainland equipment is very cheap? "Li Mingbao asked back at this time. "If Lao Wang knew that there would be a term called local tycoon in later generations, then Lao Wang would never mind putting such a title on Li Mingbao's head. With a huge sum of 600,000 US dollars, bosses like Li Mingbao Just to buy a projection equipment, this is the style of a rich man. But Lao Wang can no longer complain: "Boss Li, the equipment in China really doesn't cost that much, let alone 300,000 yuan, even if it's three. Ten thousand yuan may not be used. The most expensive projector does not cost more than 10,000 yuan, and the audio equipment, plus other equipment, does not cost more than 20,000 yuan in total. The equipment bought with 30,000 yuan is definitely enough to show movies, and it is relatively good equipment commonly used in domestic cinemas. No matter how good the equipment is, it is basically rare and will not be used in ordinary cinemas, so even if it is The cost of equipment for four screening rooms is only 120,000 yuan. To build a movie theater, you have to be careful with your budget. 180,000 yuan is definitely enough. This is still a two-story building, and it must be very big. It only costs more than 1,000 yuan to build a bungalow for ordinary people. " Hearing Lao Wang's words, Li Mingbao immediately understood that he was making a joke. He really didn't understand the equipment situation in the mainland these days. He originally thought that the equipment produced in the mainland must be the lowest level equipment. But when he heard Lao Wang's words After talking, Li Mingbao understood that compared with the equipment on the mainland, what he called low-level equipment was high-end.For Li Mingbao, the equipment that came out was actually just a toy. Its quality may be equivalent to the toys on the roadside, and it is basically the same concept as the large speakers of later generations. A piece of equipment that costs 30,000 yuan is not a professional equipment. It is clearly a general-purpose equipment. Using such equipment to screen movies and installing it in a cinema, Li Mingbao really wanted to vomit blood with the effect. At this time, Li Mingbao finally understood what Lao Wang meant by quantity rather than quality. This is not a movie theater business. The kind of movie theater that Lao Wang is talking about and the movie theater he is talking about are not in the same dimension at all. The cinema that Lao Wang understands is basically to move the outdoor screening team into a house with seats, and the seats will definitely not be high-end sofas, but rows of wooden benches, and there are still many A kind of carrying stool that can be carried and carried by people while sitting on it.
