The current cinemas are almost the same model. Many people probably still have childhood memories of being in a big theater with a storefront on the street. At least it is a large auditorium with hundreds of seats, and some even have several floors.
, thousands, thousands of seats.
But after a few decades, cinemas have been completely replaced by the small hall model. Because it can give audiences more choices for watching movies and provide better differentiated services.
It's a simple truth. Theoretically speaking, as many movies as there are small halls, it's better than having no choice in one hall, right?
And booking a venue has become easier. If you and your girlfriend book a small hall for dozens of people, that's called romance; if you book a large theater with thousands of people and then show a ghost movie in this empty place, that's called brain damage!
In fact, this is also very beneficial to movie theaters, which can effectively increase attendance rates.
If a movie theater wants to reach the profit line, the attendance rate is generally around % to %. However, most movies are not sold out, and some movies are stuck on this line of life and death. The movie theaters are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them.
If it is replaced by a small hall, it will be much simpler. These people can be merged into one small hall! It is also possible to increase the attendance rate to more than %. As for other small halls, other popular videos can be displayed.
In other words, if the hall wants to reach the profit line, it must sell at least hundreds of tickets. Sometimes there is not that much passenger flow.
The small hall is much simpler. There are only a few dozen seats. A few couples are eating in a dark corner. This movie can already save money. And some couples like to choose this kind of deserted show.
Of course, we are still in the film era, and the operating costs of small halls are relatively high. It is necessary to prepare a few more projectionists. Unlike later, one projectionist can take care of more than a dozen small halls with just a click of the mouse.
Today's film copies are still packed in reels, each reel lasts about 10 minutes, and the projectionist needs to manually change it.
The other thing is the copy cost. Since there are more small halls, more copies will definitely need to be made.
It is not like later. Not all of the current movie promotion costs are used for advertising in traditional media or online trolls. Most of the promotion costs are still in the production of copies. One copy costs several thousand yuan, and one movie
It will cost hundreds of thousands in copy production costs.
If you choose a small hall, these are additional costs.
Finally, of course, there is the issue of film source.
But this will never be a problem in Hong Kong. There are many movies that cannot be released in theaters every year.
What's even more wonderful is that with the development of digital technology, movies have also become digital copies and digital projections, and the above increased costs have become almost negligible.
So this is the general trend!
The other thing is the choice of location. There is no choice for the large theater, it must be placed in a landmark and lively area. But the choice of small halls is more flexible. As long as the venue is large enough, it can be placed on the fourth or fifth floor.
It goes without saying that there is a world of difference in rent costs between the two.
Huh
Li Yuan suddenly understood. Maybe when all the movie theaters in Hong Kong are dead, his own small hall can still live well. This is a blue world! As long as he escapes faster than you.
There seems to be something going on!
"Jiaojiao, this is the small hall model..." Li Yuan briefly introduced the situation of the small hall cinema.
Huang Jiaojiao was confused by what she heard. Mainly because there was no precedent, and the eldest lady had no such concept at all. But just believe that dead man, I am too lazy to care about those trivial things: "Xiao Yuanzi, this is your
It’s true that small halls have become popular in the United States now.”
"It should be right. In fact, we don't have to worry about that much. Aren't the theater chains blocking us?" Li Yuan said with a smile, "Whether it is a lobby or a small hall, there is only one big screen. If our cinema has ten small halls, then
It’s just ten big screens! It can be called a theater chain to the outside world.”
"That's the truth." Huang Jiaojiao said happily, "Well, Xiao Yuanzi, let's open thirty stores! Three hundred big screens and knock them all down! Look at these bastards who still dare to bully me.
!Hahaha!"
There are many cinemas in Hong Kong now, and there are three major commercial cinema lines, basically around 20 to 30 cinemas. If there are really many big screens, one person can really handle them all.
However, among these cinema chains, many are franchised, that is, small bosses come to cuddle up and keep warm. There are also many small cinemas that are independent and operate independently.
And most of them rent houses. It doesn't matter now, Hong Kong movies are still quite popular. But with the decline of Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong real estate is rising day by day, and they have become those Hong Kong real estate owners.
of migrant workers.
"Do you have any grudge against Thirty Family?"
"I hate it! Can't I just say it?"
"Okay. Also, we are not in a hurry to expand. Even if we solve existing problems, we don't need others to join us." Li Yuan warned, "Jiaojiao, just buy those properties. The Yuan Universe will rent the properties.
Open a movie theater and you can be a stable housekeeper."
No matter how small the hall is, this is not a good investment choice. It is just a matter of the two men and women getting hot-headed and wanting to vent their anger. So it doesn't matter whether the cinema loses money or not, as long as the property can increase in value, it is enough.
Now is exactly the time when Hong Kong's housing market begins to skyrocket. The lucky little pig should be able to reap a wave of dividends.
"Okay, okay! Isn't it the wild mountain gathering mode?" Huang Jiaojiao understood instantly.
The Yeshan Huihui model means that two parents buy real estate individually and then rent it to their own companies. No matter how well the company is doing, the two individuals will always be able to maintain their income despite droughts and floods.
Moreover, there is a tacit understanding between the two that Huang Jiaojiao basically purchases the real estate in Hong Kong, and Li Yuan is responsible for all the real estate in the mainland. As for other places, they have not yet thought about developing overseas.
But when it comes to the tenant, Huang Jiaojiao is also interested: "Xiao Yuanzi, I'll ask my elder brother, there seems to be a place like this at home. The fourth and fifth floors of the store are not easy to sell to the outside world, and the price is low.
If you are willing to give up, you might as well give me a discount. Anyway, give them money again in ten or eight years! Hehe."

"What a disappointment! The extra money Yongliang managed to earn was not enough in the blink of an eye. There are thirty movie theaters——!"
"Damn it! You really are thirty."
"No matter how many there are, they have to come one by one." Huang Jiaojiao complained, "Anyway, it's too late before the end of the year. We can open one or two at most. Hey, Xiao Yuanzi, I want to ask you something. Are you there?
Why didn’t Jingcheng go to Yindu Agency?”
"Yeah." After being reminded like this, Li Yuan suddenly realized that there is actually such a large state-owned factory in Hong Kong. It is rare for the eldest lady to have a reliable idea. "Haha, I'll go find it right away."
"Have you forgotten that it's not me who wants to tell you? What you do makes people worry!"
"Meow meow!"
"Okay! Go find it right away, go find it right away."
"Also, my movie finally made it to the Cannes Film Festival, but you are the director yourself and you actually want me to go to the capital to support you for 100 million U.S. dollars! My little Yuanzi has such a strong tone!"
"Haha." The eldest lady must have reached her menstrual period again, and she started an unknown fire everywhere.
"Also, what's going on with that Xiong Qi? Why is he spending money in Africa?"
"What's wrong with Mr. Bear?"
"He faxed a plan about what to do with the farm. I couldn't understand the plan, I just knew he wanted money!"
Li Yuan smiled and explained: "I know about this. Mr. Xiong is very experienced in this area. All the investment is in infrastructure, so that the value of the farm can be increased. Then we can sell it."
At the end of the sentence, Li Yuan asked casually: "How much did he spend?"
"In just a few days, he spent tens of thousands!"
Damn it! Li Yuan was shocked. After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Yuan decided to hire people without any doubts. This old man should not be a messy person: "Let's support him! If it is not more than 10,000 US dollars, we will choose to continue
Support him. According to him, if all African farm projects are developed, they can bring an annual output value of not less than 10,000 yuan."
"Is it really possible?" Huang Jiaojiao's face changed very quickly, "I almost forgot that I still have a small farm in Australia. Last year, the management company sent me a statement, and it seemed that I was losing money. Can you please let the old man also do it?
Go and have a look”
"You also know you forgot."
"Hee hee hee."
"Also, what about the art film we invested in?"
"What kind of art film is it that you didn't steal to be the director?"
"Not this one, the one your friend invested in before, we each invested 10,000 yuan."
"Oh! I remembered it. Later it seemed that... we were invited to have a meal, eat, eat, eat..."
"You prodigal bitch, I didn't even get to eat."
"Hehe, okay, okay. Xiao Yuanzi, why do I feel that something is wrong? As long as I do one thing, the mess will become more and more complicated."
"Do you want to eat an egg and eventually build a chicken farm?"
"Yes, that's what it feels like."
In fact, Li Yuan has discovered this problem a long time ago. Due to the uneven economic development, there are too many categories missing, and many upstream and downstream industries need to be built by themselves.
For example, in the aquaculture industry, there are no drinking fountains at all and they can only build a drinking fountain factory.
"Xiao Yuanzi, actually I don't want to be so tired! I also want to take Xiao Tuanzi for a beauty treatment." Huang Jiaojiao cooed and started acting coquettishly.
"Meow meow"
Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "With your character, you want everything. How can you not be short of money? Unless our family opens a bank."
"I want you to take care of it!" Huang Jiaojiao suddenly laughed, "Hehe, Xiao Yuanzi, do you still remember that Brother Keqin?"
"Remember, it's not the one who knows everything."
"I hate it. But people from Qingot asked me if we were interested in his maritime business loan."
"Why are you asking us?" Li Yuan almost laughed. This is too ridiculous.
"Xiao Yuanzi, don't underestimate me. I don't have a listed company now, and the price is only HK$100 million. We can still buy it if we grit our teeth."
"Why are you buying it home? Are you just letting it play?" Li Yuan laughed.
As long as it is a bank or other financial institution, the most important thing is its reputation. However, the reputation of Haishang Dai has become a huge negative number, and no one knows how much energy it will take to restore it.
As two Buddhist fathers and mothers, Li Yuan and Huang Jiaojiao will definitely not get into trouble.
Huang Jiaojiao also smiled and said: "I never thought about buying it. It's just that it's fun..."
Of course the eldest lady also understands this truth, it’s just the latest gossip. How can women not like to talk about gossip?
So amidst the chirping, Li Yuan learned about some of the aftermath of the Haishang Loan incident.
Although the illegal and illegal funds of Haishangdai and other banks amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, they were not the banks' money. Therefore, apart from the fines imposed by financial regulatory agencies, the banks' own funds actually did not suffer any losses.
To put it clearly, Haishang Dai has achieved rapid development by utilizing huge amounts of black and gray money. In their own operations, their financial situation is relatively healthy.
Don't tell me, Cao Keqin is a fucking talent. If this continues, maybe Haishang Dai will slowly be cleared up, and maybe it can develop into a major international bank.
However, it is too late to say anything now. Haishangdai has entered bankruptcy liquidation procedures, and the bank's assets have been placed under trusteeship by the British Hong Kong government.
There is no doubt that although someone has been found to blame, major shareholders such as Cao Keqin have lost all their bank shares and it is impossible to get a single cent of money from the bank.
Of course, rich people like this must have hidden a lot of assets overseas. It is definitely impossible to live in Hong Kong, and even doing business has become impossible. But it is still possible to immigrate overseas and live in a wealthy apartment.
Arrived.
But now the Haishang Loan incident is not over yet. At least all the money in the depositors' accounts must be settled. Therefore, according to the court order, Cao Keqin and his family are restricted from leaving the country.
These days are more difficult. To put it bluntly, you might get beaten up when you go out. No one can tell how many depositors in Hong Kong have been harmed by Haishang Loan.
On the other hand, the British Hong Kong government is also very troubled by such a hot potato.
Fakeyou! It will be 1997 soon. Why are you still looking for trouble? We just want to make one last fortune in Hong Kong, and then go back to the UK to enjoy life. Unexpectedly, there is a maritime loan incident that makes us noble.
The British gentleman will wipe your butts
Fakiyu! Did you mistake us for toilet paper?
In the end, both parties want to resolve this matter as soon as possible, and the best way is to find a successor!
But in the current situation, who would be willing to be the taker? So Cao Keqin was so sick that he rushed to the doctor and even Huang Jiaojiao was not spared.
Li Yuan heard this with interest: "Jiaojiao, actually it would be great for you to be a banker. I think you know everything."
Huang Jiaojiao's smile made her flowers tremble: "Don't come here! Stop talking, I'll take Xiaotuanzi to have a beauty treatment."
"Meow meow! Meow meow meow——!"
"Baby, don't run around! Mommy will take care of you beautifully!"
"Meow——!..."
From the microphone, Xiaotuanzi's tear-jerking screams came...
