The next day, Xiao Yunhai sent Zhao Wanqing to Beijing International Airport. Since the first episode of Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Night of Singers" was about to be recorded, Zhao Wanqing needed to get used to the venue in advance.
After sending Zhao Wanqing off, Xiao Yunhai went to a quaint teahouse where Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting were waiting for him.
Xiao Yunhai didn't stand on ceremony as he sat down and chuckled. "Uncle, Sister Hu, how come the two of you have time to treat me to tea? Don't tell me that our cinema is about to open? "
Yu Hai took a sip of tea and smiled. "Although our progress is extremely fast, it will take at least a month for us to open for business. Our priority is to secure the major first-tier cities. Now that the construction is basically complete, we're in the midst of intense renovations. It will probably take half a month for everything to be completed. As for the second-tier and third-tier cities and below, we'll have to postpone it for a week. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "In other words, the entire cinema chain will be completed in about 20 days."
Yu Hai nodded. "That's right. Hehe, in order to achieve the half-year goal set by the government, we hired almost all the construction workers in Hua Xia and spent a few billion yuan. It's a big loss. "
Hu Yaoting smiled. "That depends on how we calculate it. Compared to the one or two billion yuan of Hua Xia's cinema chain, we made a big profit. As the saying goes, it's easier to get things done with connections. If it weren't for Yunhai's help, we wouldn't have been able to get such a huge benefit. "
Xiao Yunhai quickly waved his hand. "Sister Hu, please don't say that. I feel a little uncomfortable when I hear that. It sounds like collusion between government officials and businessmen."
Hu Yaoting said, "I want to collude, but your Xiao Family isn't willing. By the way, I don't understand why the Ministry of Culture has the guts to ban you with your status. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged. "The Ministry of Culture isn't run by our Xiao Family. If I make a mistake, I naturally have to be punished."
Yu Hai snorted and sneered, "I've heard Moon Immortal mention what happened that night. Tian Jishang and his son did not do it properly, but they had a good temper. If it were me, I would definitely beat them up. "
Hu Yaoting smiled: "Director Yu, I think Yunhai's approach is the most appropriate. If you beat him up, at most, he'll be hospitalized. However, with Yunhai's actions, the Tian father and son were greatly embarrassed. Especially before he left, Yunhai said that he was acting as himself. Now, he has become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, let's not talk about these unlucky things. Uncle, Sister Hu, may I know why you're looking for me? "
Hu Yaoting glanced at Yu Hai. After getting his signal, she said, "Nothing? I just want to ask you something. What are the regulations of our government for foreign cinemas? Are you going to bid for the construction rights? "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned when he heard this, and he said, "What? Did the foreign countries agree to Hua Xia's request? "
Yu Hai asked in surprise, "Don't tell me you don't know? Two days ago, Europe and America agreed. The Asian countries will definitely not dare to oppose. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This is the first time I've heard of this. The two of you don't want to take over these cinemas, right? Do you still have the ability to do so? "
The establishment of these cinemas in Hua Xia had cost 450 billion Hua Xia dollars. No matter how powerful Yu Real Estate and Hu Technology were, they would definitely be hurt if they suddenly lost 150 billion in capital.
Now, Hua Xia's side had not been settled yet, and they were already thinking of taking over the foreign cinemas. It had to be said that these businessmen were too bold.
Yu Hai said without hiding anything, "Of course we want such a good thing. As for the capital, it's not a problem at all. At worst, we can mortgage all the assets under our name to the bank and get at least 700 billion. In addition, the land prices in Europe and America are much cheaper than here, so this money should be enough. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "The two of you seem to have a good discussion. However, this cake is too big. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for your two families to eat it. "
Hu Yaoting smiled and said, "Don't we still have you?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I'm so poor now. I don't have a single cent, so I don't want to get involved in this mess."
Hu Yaoting said, "Then you, Young Master Xiao, will help us."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, I'll ask for you. I trust Uncle and Sister Hu's character. They definitely won't do anything that will harm Hua Xia's film industry. "
Yu Hai hurriedly promised, "Of course."
Xiao Yunhai took out his phone and called Xiao Yuanyang.
"Brother, is it convenient to talk now?"
Xiao Yuanyang said, "There's a meeting in ten minutes. Tell me, what's the matter? "
Xiao Yunhai said directly, "I'm interested in foreign cinemas. What should I do?"
Xiao Yuanyang chuckled and asked, "Do you still have the funds?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't worry about whether I have the funds or not. Just tell me whether you can make the decision or not. "
Xiao Yuanyang said angrily, "It's such a big matter. Not to mention me, even Minister Cao Huaqian of the Ministry of Culture can't make the decision. However, the basic rules have been set last night. Do you want to hear it? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Nonsense, of course I want to hear it. Brother, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly. "
Xiao Yuanyang said, "It's very simple. First of all, first of all, it must be a private company in Hua Xia with a market value of at least 100 billion. Second, in order to prevent the eight major American film companies from monopolizing the market, entertainment companies are not allowed to participate. And those companies that meet the conditions, whether now or in the future, cannot establish or acquire any film companies. In other words, the independence of the cinemas must be guaranteed. Third, there must be at least eight shareholders in the cinemas. Each shareholder cannot have more than 15% of the shares to prevent the problem of one company monopolizing the market. At the same time, the chairman of the board of directors will be appointed by the Ministry of Culture. The most stringent management system must be formulated. Everything will depend on the box office and no interpersonal relationships can be involved. Fourth, if the shareholders want to sell their shares in the cinemas in the future, they cannot sell to foreign companies or individuals. Fifth … "
Xiao Yuanyang rattled off more than ten conditions, and Xiao Yunhai really couldn't take it anymore, saying: "Brother, your conditions are too perverse."
Xiao Yuanyang chuckled and said, "There's no other way. This cinema chain concerns the future of Hua Xia's film industry. No one dares to take it lightly. Do you know how many applications I've received? A total of 88 applications. All of them are very capable companies. Oh right, Yu Real Estate and Hu Technology, who built the Hua Xia cinema chain with you, have also joined in. "
Xiao Yunhai heard and asked, "Then can they succeed?"
Xiao Yuanyang said, "It's hard to say. All the major political forces want to take a bite of this fat piece of meat. For example, your rival Tian Junhao's uncle, Li Guoke, has his eyes on it. With the help of the Li family, the Guoke Group should have no problem. There are also several big companies that are no less powerful than the Li family. You already have the local cinemas in Hua Xia, so the difficulty is not small. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Okay, I understand. Go to the meeting. "
Xiao Yuanyang laughed and scolded, "You're really a person who burns the bridge after crossing it. As soon as you said that, you want me to scram. Okay, I'll stop teasing you. Since you're interested in this cinema chain, I'll keep an eye on it for you. As long as the conditions permit, it won't be difficult with the power of the Xiao family. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay, I got it."
After the call, Xiao Yunhai repeated the conditions that Xiao Yuanyang said to Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting and said, "Uncle, Sister Hu, are you still interested in such conditions?"
Yu Hai didn't even think and said, "Even if we can only get 10%, we're still willing."
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "That's right. Our Hu Technology is the same. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay. When the time comes, I'll call my brother and try my best to fight for you. If it doesn't work, don't blame me. "
Yu Hai said happily, "That's great. Whether it works or not, the two of us will remember this favor. "
