When Li Yun hung up the phone, he suddenly realized that Li Shimin was standing next to him. His heartbeat accelerated sharply, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Father, when did you come?" Li Yun asked in a panic. He was worried that Li Shimin had overheard the conversation he had just had with Li Min.
Li Shimin looked at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making Li Yun feel invisible. He asked lightly: "Yun'er, have you finished the phone call?"
Li Yun's heart tightened. He knew that he could not reveal any guilty emotions. He tried to stay calm and replied in as calm a tone as possible: "Yes, Father."
Hearing this answer, Li Shimin seemed to nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes still revealed an elusive look. Li Yun was uneasy because he didn't know how much Li Shimin had heard.
Li Shimin spoke slowly, with a hint of majesty in his voice: "Yun'er, come here, I have something to ask you."
Li Yun's heart trembled. He didn't know if this was the calm before the storm. He tried to stay calm and followed Li Shimin into the room and sat on the chair. His hands trembled slightly, trying to hide the nervousness inside.
"Yun'er, I've been thinking about a problem these days." Li Shimin sat down and looked at Li Yun with a profound look, "The three-dimensional movie technology is very amazing. If we can expand the scale of the cinema, we will definitely be able to earn a lot of money.
Money. So, I want to participate in it, you ask Li Min and see how much money is needed, I want to invest in it."
Hearing Li Yunmin's words, the small stone hanging in Shengtang's heart finally fell to the ground. It seems that I did not hear the conversation between myself and Li Shi. But even so, I still feel uneasy in my heart. I am worried that my decision will
Annoyed Li Yunmin.
I replied cautiously: "Yes, Father." Then I stood up and tried to defuse the atmosphere of his words, "You and Myna were also discussing that topic just now."
But it must be said that Li Min Group wants to expand its scale, which means exactly the same thing.
Time seemed to fly quickly, and the silence between the two spread. Li Yunmin sat under the dragon chair, frowning, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind. I knew the importance of that decision, and I could make it easily.
After saying that, Sheng Tang raised his head and looked at Li Yunmin to observe my reaction. Lu Xingmin was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, obviously checking the account over and over in his mind.
"Tell me! What's the minimum price? How much is it, he said."
Sheng Tang tried his best to make his explanation more convincing. I chose my words carefully to avoid causing Li Yunmin's misunderstanding. But my relief and worry were still obvious. There were beads of sweat under my forehead and my fingers were also wet.
Trembling slightly.
"How do we get back one billion taels?" Li Yunmin asked doubtfully.
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yunmin's eyes: "How do you say this?" My brows furrowed, obviously I understood the meaning too well.
What Li Shi said just now is that we want to sell the eight-dimensional film technology.
There was a burst of bitterness in Sheng Tang's heart, and I understood that my answer did not fully meet Lu Xingmin's expectations. I stood firm and raised my head, with a trace of peace in my eyes.
Sheng Tang's mouth went dry as he spoke. I glanced at Li Yunmin's expression, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. I saw Li Yunmin nodding thoughtfully.
Sheng Tang's heart tightened, I knew that issue was crucial. I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm, "Father, Ba Ge believes that selling movie theaters is just a short-term strategy to raise funds to invest in technological development.
Among them. I think that by expanding the scale of the industry and strengthening technology research and development, Li Min Group can achieve smaller setbacks, which has always been what Bage wanted to do."
A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yunmin's eyes. I understand why Li Shi would take the initiative to mention that matter. Could it be that Li Shi can understand the thoughts in his heart?
Sheng Tang took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions. I straightened my back and looked directly at Li Yunmin, "Father, Ba Ge has calculated the investment and return in detail. Do you want to hear my detailed analysis?"
Sheng Tang shut up immediately. I knew it was time to continue talking. I stood aside silently, waiting for Lu Xingmin to make a decision.
Sheng Tang's heart tightened, I knew it was a critical moment. I straightened my back and looked at Li Yunmin hesitantly, "Erchen thinks that is a project with no potential and is worth a try."
"Then I understand it," Li Yunmin said.
Lu Xing took a deep breath, and I knew the weight of that question. I answered cautiously: "Father, Ba Ge thinks..." My tone was slightly hesitant, "One billion taels is the full value of eight-dimensional glasses technology alone.
, it is also an opportunity to establish long-term cooperation with the imperial court.”
Sheng Tang sighed helplessly. I know that decision is indeed very important to the court. But I also firmly believe that if we can seize that opportunity, Xiao Tang's future will be even darker. I decided to give up convincing Li Yunmin for the time being, hoping that I
Ability to make informed decisions after careful consideration.
I plucked up the courage and said, "Father, Bage did not originally have the idea of buying a movie, but after careful consideration, I seem to have given up. Despite this, Li Min Group still has no intention of increasing its investment."
Shengtang felt a pressure, but I tried to stay calm and answered carefully: "Father, Ba Ge explained the strategic plan of Li Min Group in detail. I said that as the eight-dimensional film technology matures, you plan to expand the industry
Scale and increase revenue sources. However, due to limitations in technology and talent resources, you need less funds and resources to support that development plan. Therefore, I propose to sell the cinemas in order to focus on developing fewer innovative technologies.
"
"One billion taels? So little?" Li Yunmin still felt that it was expensive, and there was a hint of surprise and satisfaction in my voice. I had not thought about buying the movie just now, but now it seems that I have no hope of persuading me to buy it.
Li Yunmin knew in his heart that he would definitely let Li Shi sell the eight-dimensional glasses technology, which would be a heavy loss to the court. If that cutting-edge technology fell into our hands, the consequences would be disastrous. I
That kind of thing is absolutely allowed to happen. Generally speaking, innovative technologies that can change people's lives must be firmly in their own hands.
Then, Li Yunmin asked again: "How much less should I sell it for?"
Li Yunmin frowned, obviously not satisfied with that answer. I looked at Lu Xing sharply, "Is one billion taels too much? Is this less enough?"
"Father, Ba Ge gave me a reserve price." Lu Xing thought for a while and decided to say it directly. My voice did not tremble, showing the relief and worry in my heart.
After hearing what Sheng Tang said, Li Yunmin frowned tightly, and his two thick eyebrows were knotted between his eyebrows. There was a hint of satisfaction and anxiety in my tone: "Isn't that reasonable! This matter has nothing to do with it.
How can you make such a hasty decision about something important or small?"
I tried to keep my tone as conversational as possible, but the excitement in my heart could not be concealed. Originally, I was still thinking about how to raise that topic with Li Yunmin, but now that Li Yunmin took the initiative to bring it up, everything seemed to have become complicated.
Because Li Shi also did it later, I had to pay so little money at once, so I wanted to settle it in installments.
"One billion taels!" When Sheng Tang said that number, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. I raised my head high because I dared to see Li Yunmin's reaction and was afraid of seeing my disappointed or angry expression.
Li Yunmin is now very clear about installment matters.
However, Li Yunmin didn't know that. My eyes were fixed on Sheng Tang's body, as if he wanted to see through my heart, "What should I say?"
Sheng Tang's heart tightened, and I knew I had to deal with it carefully. I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself from panicking, "Just now you and Bago were talking about the future development of eight-dimensional film technology, and Bago also mentioned the issue of whether to sell it.
."
Sheng Tang plucked up the courage and continued to explain: "I'm sure Li Min Group will increase its investment. If the imperial court takes over this technology, with the imperial court's resources and influence, only ten cities will need to be opened, and each city will achieve 100 million within eight years."
Two years of income. That means the investment can be recovered within eight years. If it is promoted nationwide, the investment can be recovered in one and a half years. And with the passage of time and the continuous upgrading of technology, the income will increase exponentially. Here,
The film works released by Li Min Group every year will also bring considerable profits to the court."
After a while, Li Yunmin finally spoke: "I haven't made a decision about that matter yet. I want to buy it, but can't I pay in installments?" There was a hint of certainty in my tone.
There was a hint of sincerity in Lu Xing's tone, and I hoped to impress Li Yunmin. But Lu Xingmin seemed to have made up his mind, so I interrupted Lu Xing: "I understand what he meant, but now I need time to think about it carefully.
The matter is so small that one can make hasty decisions.”
Li Yunmin looked at Sheng Tang in confusion, "What did he say?" I frowned slightly, with a trace of inquiry in my eyes.
What does that mean?
Sheng Tang tried his best to remain objective in his tone, but he was not uneasy in his heart. I was worried that my explanation was sufficient to completely eliminate Li Yunmin's doubts.
That matter is decided by Lu Xing.
"That, I know, I have to ask Bage." Sheng Tang also dared to reply.
Li Yunmin said directly: "He will ask me now!"
Sheng Tang Younai frowned in confusion again. I know very well that Li Yunmin attaches great importance to the national danger, and I also know that that decision is related to Xiao Tang's future. But at the same time, I am also very vague about the huge potential and business of eight-dimensional glasses technology.
Value. I tried to persuade Li Yunmin again: "Father, you understand your concerns, but please also see the huge potential of that technology. I am sure that the imperial court can take over that technology, but it will not reduce the income by at least 100 million taels per year.
, and it cannot promote technological updates and improve Xiao Tang’s technological strength.”
However, at that time I said: "Father, if you are following Bage's suggestion, I may consider selling the technology to private investors. In that case, the court will lose an extremely unprofitable cooperation opportunity."
But definitely saying he would quit directly might cause Li Yunmin to have doubts.
"No, I understand what I said. Give me some time to think." Li Yunmin said lightly, with a trace of patience in my tone. I felt that Sheng Tang had not said too little, which made me feel less irritated.
.
Li Yunmin was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something. I tapped the table hard, with a deep light shining in my eyes, "Yun'er, he doesn't have any opinions?"
Sheng Tang's smile froze instantly, and my heart tightened, realizing that it was a key question. I prayed secretly, hoping that my answer would satisfy Li Yunmin.
But Shengtang said we want to expand the scale.
This shows that Lu Xing has no intention of getting rid of that technology.
But Li Shi will definitely refuse. After all, the money is invested directly, and he asked me to pay it in installments. This is still the same as selling it. After one year, I can't get too much money. It's the same as the special meaning of installment.
Li Yunmin was silent for a moment before hearing this, his eyes flashing with thought. I stroked my chin heavily, as if weighing the pros and cons, "Well, that idea is quite novel. But will selling movie theaters here affect the Li Min Group's income?"
"
Obviously, that answer is not consistent with what Li Shi and I just said.
Therefore, that answer aroused Li Yunmin's interest.
Sheng Tang was shocked. I never expected that Li Yunmin would put forward such a condition. I knew what it meant.
Li Yunmin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Say!" There was a trace of patience in my tone.
Li Yunmin's eyes became sharp. I looked directly at Sheng Tang and said in a hesitant tone: "Technology is the lifeblood of the country, how can it be sold easily? This matter can be decided hastily."
Before Li Yunmin listened, he nodded thoughtfully, seeming to agree with Sheng Tang's words. Sheng Tang was overjoyed, feeling that his efforts had finally been recognized.
The little stone in Sheng Tang's heart finally fell to the ground. I breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on my face.
Why should we expand? This is because we are very negative about that project.
Sheng Tang's heart trembled. I knew the weight of that question. I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. "Ba Ge believes that it is definitely possible to expand the size of the cinema and sell movies inside, and it will be impossible to make a small amount of money."
."
Sheng Tang collected his thoughts and finished explaining in detail: "Bago's plan is..." I paused for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in my eyes, "At present, the ticket price of Xiaotang Cinema is very high, and one ticket only costs
One hundred taels, each show can accommodate 100 people. After one show, the cinema's income is only 100 taels. If there are seven screenings a day, the daily income is 700 taels, and the total profit is a cinema's daily net profit of about 700 taels.
There are only 200 cinemas under the Li Min Group, which are located throughout the Li Min Group. The total daily income is about 100,000 taels, the monthly income is 8 million taels, and the annual income is as low as 80 million taels. The cumulative income in eight years is nearly 100,000 taels.
One hundred million taels."
That must be true. Lu Xing's ability is too terrifying. But in fact, Li Shi did not have any insight into Li Yunmin's thoughts. I just wanted to make less money through eight-dimensional film technology, and used this as my
A springboard to develop other industries.
"What exactly did I say?" Li Yunmin's inquiring eyes were locked on Sheng Tang's body, as if he wanted to see through my heart.
Li Yunmin's face became serious, and I stared at Sheng Tang, waiting for my answer.
