"You promised it, and now you're changing your mind at the last minute. It's already unfair. I want to know how much the other party will give. It won't hurt you."
Wu Changyun knew that there was a big pit in front of him, but he had to step on it today to see who had such great ability.
Zhang Shu suddenly had an idea and thought, this is a secret way of showing off.
At this rate, the price will definitely go up if the two sides start to negotiate. I didn't expect that I would get such a good deal on my first business venture. It's like I was blessed by God.
"Brother Yun, right?"
Zhang Shu rubbed his hands and said.
"Actually, it's a company called Galaxy Films that wants to take over this land from me. It's not that I'm disloyal, but I told them about you."
"Bullshit, you and the word trustworthiness have nothing to do with each other."
Chang Sihu raised his hand to hit.
Zhang Shu quickly shrank his head and said, "They gave too much, this amount."
Zhang Shu stretched out ten fingers and said.
Wu Changyun frowned. If it was one million, Wu Changyun really had to consider the cost issue. Even if his cinema chain could make a profit, the payback period would be extended to several years.
"Galaxy Film Company?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Shu looked at the two of them with an innocent look on his face, like a child who had gotten into some trouble.
"Have you heard of this?" Chang Sihu asked Wu Changyun.
Wu Changyun shook his head. He had no recollection of the Galaxy Film Company. Nowadays, there were so many film companies popping up in Hong Kong that it was hard to tell how many there were.
"Do you want to buy it? If you do, you have to pay some extra money." Zhang Shu asked.
If Wu Changyun had not been present, Chang Sihu would have been about to resort to violence.
One cannot be reckless in business. Wu Changyun has come to understand over the past few years that the way to stand out in an industry is very simple, which is to eliminate all competitors.
Whether you want it or not, your customers are limited. If you want to grow bigger, others will also want to grow bigger.
This is not a problem that can be solved with fists; it will only make things worse.
"Okay, I understand. Don't sell it for now. I'll pay you the one million." Wu Changyun said firmly.
"Brother Yun, there's no need. I know we lack theaters now, but we can't do this. The company will have objections." Chang Sihu reminded.
The company today is not what it was three years ago. Back then, everyone was an entrepreneur, all wanting to make a good movie.
The main reason was that no one paid attention to them at that time. For example, Zhou Runfa was just a newcomer who was emerging. The film and television industry only looked at the box office. As long as you could bring in box office revenue, even if there were a thousand small problems, they were not a problem.
Who cares whether you change jobs or not, or whether you forget your principles for the sake of profit?
It’s hard to say when Zhou Runfa will leave Wu Changyun, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Wu Changyun could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Chang Sihu's words, but if he didn't fight against this force now, he might not have another chance in the future.
"I've made a deal. I'll pay whatever he pays." Wu Changyun said without hesitation.
Zhang Shule was very happy. He asked for a little too much. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for more.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep it for you if you say so."
Zhang Shu slapped his thigh and promised.
Apart from his brother, Wu Changyun was the second richest person he had ever met. He gave him seven or eight years' income from such a shabby place all at once. It was so cool.
After leaving the mall, Wu Changyun returned to the company, and Chang Sihu also went back to take care of his own business.
"What's wrong? You look upset."
Zhao Yazhi quit her job as a flight attendant and now works as a full-time actress in a company, but she currently has very few roles.
Wu Changyun frowned, not knowing where to start.
"The company's business is booming now, so we should be happy. Brother Xiao Ma is well-known to everyone now." Zhao Yazhi's smile was like a light bell brushing the water, especially her slender and light fingertips.
"It's a pity that there's nothing I can do to help you right now." Zhao Yazhi said gloomily.
Wu Changyun sighed inwardly, "With the current size of the company, Zhou Runfa alone is already enough to keep him busy. If we also make Hong Kong goddess Zhao Yazhi famous, I'm afraid the company won't be able to support both of them."
This is actually the core reason why Wu Changyun is eager to solve the theater chain problem. The development of actors should be accompanied by the growth of the platform.
The profit of a movie is limited. Wu Changyun takes out nearly four layers of extra profit for the theaters, so naturally he has to cut other parts.
Currently, the company’s money is divided into three major parts.
One part is the actors' expenses, which actually accounts for a small proportion.
The other is planned expenditure, including Wu Changyun's plan to set up his own cinema chain. This part is advance expenditure and cannot generate returns for the time being.
The second is company expenses, including equipment maintenance, talent salaries, living expenses, venues, props, makeup, approval, publicity and promotion, etc.
With these three areas listed, it is not difficult to decide which part of the expenses to cut.
The relationship between Wu Changyun and Zhou Runfa is a little awkward now. There are no new dramas recently, and the popular Zhou Runfa has been temporarily put on hold.
If there is a chance, Wu Changyun wants to talk to him.
In the evening, it has been almost two years since Chen Gangsheng returned to Hong Kong, but the two have never had the chance to get together. Wu Changyun and Chen Gangsheng have a good relationship in private.
Since there was no luxurious restaurant, Wu Changyun bought two bottles of beer downstairs and invited Chen Gangsheng to his company.
Chen Gangsheng has good luck this year. The two have met before. Wu Changyun knows that Chen Gangsheng has a good nature, but since this guy made money, he has become somewhat inflated.
Not only does he drive a much better car than Wu Changyun, he also wears all kinds of famous brands.
Hong Kong has no shortage of brand-name shops. In the past, the British and some wealthy ladies in Hong Kong often patronized these shops. What they bought was a symbol of status, and the quality was more or less guaranteed.
"I heard that you are planning to open a cinema chain recently. This is a good business. Take me with you."
"Um."
A year ago, Wu Changyun would not believe that Chen Gangsheng was so generous.
Wu Changyun thought about it but found something wrong. It was true that he wanted to buy the cinema chain, but who told Chen Gangsheng "recently"?
"How do you know I'm planning to buy it recently?"
"Hey, this is not a secret." Chen Gangsheng put a peanut in his mouth. They sat on the rooftop on the second floor. This was a place specially reserved by Wu Changyun for cooling off, which could accommodate seven or eight people.
"Can you tell the person involved?"
Wu Changyun couldn't help laughing.
"If you want to know, this is a secret. Although our company has no involvement, Wu Siyuan told me. Considering that we have some friendship, Xu Guanwen told Wu Siyuan about it, and then I passed it on to you." Chen Gangsheng said with the intention of selling the lawsuit.
"Is this matter related to Xu Guanwen?"
"It has nothing to do with him, but it is closely related to the company behind him," said Chen Gangsheng.
Wu Changyun knew that the other party was referring to Golden Harvest, and thought to himself that Chen Gangsheng dared to talk nonsense in front of him now. He wondered if he would regret what he said when he arrived at Golden Harvest in two years.
