Chapter 1043 Discussion
In the car, Xiao Yunhai took out his mobile phone and called Kerry without saying a word.
"Hey Xiao, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yunhai said in a deep voice, "Kerry, tell me honestly, is there someone in Hollywood who has joined forces with major theaters around the world to boycott my 3D movies?"
Kerry paused and said: "Xiao, your guess is correct. I heard that Hanks of Paramount invited major European and American theater chains to hold a secret meeting to discuss the 3D special effects for you, just how , I don't know. You also know that we MGM and Paramount are incompatible, and he will definitely not invite us."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It was exactly as I expected. Hmph, they actually wanted me to lower the price, hehe, it's really funny. After 3D movies become popular in the world, I will definitely make Paramount pay a heavy price. Kerry, I finally Give you a chance, do you want to rebuild the 3D cinema now?"
Kerry smiled wryly: "Xiao, I'm afraid we can't do this. After all, MGM is one of the Hollywood studios, and it needs to cooperate with other companies. Let me tell you the truth, there are already more than ten theater chains behind the scenes. My father called and warned us not to do things that are out of the group. These people, we really can't afford to offend. Xiao, I'm sorry. You help us MGM, and we MGM can't help you."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It doesn't matter. I am very clear about your difficulties. Kerry, I asked you not to ask you to help me, but to give you a chance. Since you haven't grasped it, the price of 3D theaters will skyrocket in the future. time, don't blame me."
Kerry smiled bitterly: "I understand."
After talking with Kerry, Wu Hao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and asked, "Boss, what should we do? Without a 3D cinema, "2012" would not be shown at all."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "They can control all the theaters in the world, but they can't control my New Huaxia theater chain."
Wu Hao asked: "But can President Yu and President Hu agree? Your stake in it only accounts for 30%."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It is best for them to agree,
If you don't agree, then I'll pay for it myself. Oh, don't worry, what we lack now is just a chance to prove 3D movies. Once successful, the market value of the fantasy special effects company will definitely skyrocket. By then, I might be the richest man in the world. "
Seeing Xiao Yunhai so optimistic, Wu Hao let go of his worries and said, "I hope so."
New Huaxia Cinema
Yu Hai took a sip of tea and said to Hu Yaoting, "Last night, you were on a business trip abroad, so you may not know. All the shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas held a video conference, and there were also several bosses of European and American cinemas participating in the meeting. What everyone is discussing is the renovation of the 3D cinema."
Hu Yaoting asked, "What is the final result?"
Yu Haidao: "Boycott. All the cinema chains around the world are united to force Yunhai to cut prices, and the rate has reached more than 70%."
Hu Yaoting sneered and said, "The Arabian Nights. What kind of temper is Yunhai, how could he agree to such conditions. President Yu, what do you mean?"
Yu Hai frowned and said, "To be honest, I'm also in conflict. Last night, I didn't sleep all night, and I've been thinking about this issue. To be honest, Yun Hai's asking price is indeed a bit high. Whether 3D movies can be recognized by the audience is still unknown. If we carry out large-scale renovations and the 3D movies have not achieved the success we imagined, wouldn't the money we spend be wasted? ?"
Hu Yaoting nodded and said: "Yes, this is the most contradictory place. It's just about other theaters. Yunhai is one of the shareholders of our new Huaxia theater chain, and will definitely ask for some of the 2D theaters to be replaced. It will be transformed into a 3D cinema hall. If we agree, it is very likely to lose everything. If we disagree, it would be a little too sorry for Yunhai. After all, the biggest contributor to the completion of the New Huaxia Cinema Line is him. President Yu, what do you think we should do? manage?"
Yu Hai didn't think about it, and said: "Support. As partners, if we don't support it, who else will support it. In public and private, we can't chill Yun Hai's heart. Even throwing money into the sea We also threw it with him."
Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "We can only do this."
As soon as the voice fell, a voice came in from outside.
"Haha, Uncle, Sister Hu, I'm so moved by what you do."
Opening the door, Xiao Yunhai and Wu Hao appeared in front of them.
Yu Hai said a little embarrassedly: "Your ears are too smart. The sound insulation effect of this office is so good that you can still hear our voices."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "My ears have always been very good. Uncle Yu and Sister Hu, I am really grateful for your decision to lose money to support me. I understand this feeling. But as a partner, I How can you both suffer in vain because of personal matters, although I don't think 3D movies will fail."
Just when Yu Hai wanted to speak, Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and continued: "I thought about it, I think we can cooperate in another way."
Hu Yaoting asked curiously, "In what way?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I want to rent 3,000 cinema halls in the Xinhua Cinema Line and transform the 2D screen into a 3D screen for one year. All the reconstruction costs are borne by me independently. The profit of the theater plus 50% will be handed over to the company as rent. After one year, if you agree to accept the renovation of these 3,000 theaters, then the company needs to pay me 70% of the renovation cost at that time. Everything is back to normal. If you still disagree, it means that the 3D movie must have failed completely, and I will naturally not insist on it. In this way, you will not suffer any losses, and I can still make money from the 3D movie theater, killing two birds with one stone. What do you two think?"
Yu Haidao: "Yunhai, in fact, you don't need to do this. We have agreed to change the 2D cinema to 3D."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "If I didn't hear what you guys said, I would definitely be very happy. But since I heard it, I can't pretend I didn't. If you really want to help me, agree to my suggestion. Haha. , maybe, when "2012" is a big hit in November, and 3D movies are popular all over the world, the two of you will rush me to remodel the new Huaxia Cinemas. I'll give you a shot in advance, the best I can do is It's 20% cheaper than your market price, and then you can't blame me for being unkind."
Hu Yaoting smiled tenderly: "Mr. Yu and I haven't reached that shameless level. Yunhai, have you really decided?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the two of you agree, we will sign the contract immediately."
Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes at the same time.
"Okay, let's do that."
For Xinhua Cinema, this is indeed the best way to deal with it.
Ten minutes later, when the two parties signed the contract, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Uncle, Sister Hu, how many shareholders on the Yanhuang Cinema do not agree to change from 2D to 3D?"
Some time ago, Xiao Yunhai dared to sell all the North American theater chains because the Yanhuang theater chain was supporting him. Now that he suddenly found out that there was a problem with the Yanhuang theater chain, Xiao Yunhai felt a little uncomfortable.
Huaxia has solved it, but there is no way to release it overseas.
Yu Haidao: "At that time, only Li Guoke and I abstained from voting, and all the other shareholders expressed their disagreement. Yunhai, do you have a good relationship with Li Guoke?"
Xiao Yunhai sent Li Guoke's nephew Tian Junhao to the guillotine, and Tian Jishang was also demoted to a three-in-one zone to become a director. It stands to reason that Li Guoke should hate him very much, but he didn't expect him to abstain from voting.
Xiao Yunhai said: "I had a phone call with Li Guoke, and there is no other contact."
Hu Yaoting said: "After Mr. Li passed away at the beginning of the year, the Li family has not been as good as before. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Li had a lot of high-ranking people, I'm afraid Li Guoke's steel company would have been eaten. He did this, I think It should be okay. Tian Junhao's matter is entirely his own fault. Li Guoke obviously does not want to get involved in the grievances between the Tian family and you. "
Xiao Yunhai said: "Perhaps you are right. When Li Guoke called to apologize to me for his daughter, I think at that time, he had already expected the current outcome of the Li family. Li Guoke was able to develop the Guoke Iron and Steel Group to this point. In fact, he is indeed a great character.”
Yu Hai smiled and said, "How can you be so good? Compared to you, whether it's Li Guoke or us, it's not even a single star. Once 3D movies are popular in the world, I'm afraid you will not be far from being the richest man in the world. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I haven't written a word about this. Uncle, Sister Hu, if I rent the theaters of Yanhuang Cinemas in accordance with the cooperation method of New Huaxia Cinemas, do you think they will agree?"
Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hu and I only hold 20% of the shares. Since Li Guoke abstained from voting, his 15% should not be a problem. The state controls 10%. You can go to Vice Minister Xiao Yuanyang to help you with this. So as long as one more shareholder agrees, it will be no problem.”
Xiao Yunhai said: "The remaining shareholders who own 55% of the shares, who has a better job?"
Hu Yaoting smiled and said, "Don't you have a good relationship with Wu Yifa? He has a cousin named Wu Chenglue, who is the shareholder of our Yanhuang Cinema and holds 10% of the shares."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "That's great. I'll give my brother and Wu Yifa a separate call and ask them to make an appointment tonight. I'll invite them to dinner and talk about this."
Hu Yaoting smiled and said: "With your background, wealth and status, I believe everyone will give you this face. After all, they didn't lose anything, on the contrary they gained 50% more profit. Seriously, I Now I'm a little interested in 3D cinema. Yunhai, when will your film be made, can I see the effect first?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "That won't work. "2012" must be kept strictly confidential before it is released, and no one can see it in advance."
Hu Yaoting rolled her eyes and said, "You are too stingy. If the movie can really shock me, I might agree to build 3D in other theaters of the New Huaxia Cinema Line."
Xiao Yunhai said proudly: "Sister Hu, let me tell you, although 3D movies cannot completely replace 2D movies in the future, such super commercial blockbusters are absolutely inseparable from 3D. If the two change their minds before October 1, The price is still US$3.5 billion. If it exceeds this time, the price will at least double, and maybe it will reach US$1 million. Hehe, it depends on how the two of you choose?”
Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting looked at each other with a hint of hesitation in their eyes. Obviously, Xiao Yunhai's words made the two of them beat up in their hearts.
