I Am a Nobleman in England

It is not included in the eight major cuisines. It combines the essence of "Huaiyang", "Su cuisine" and "Zhe cuisine" among the eight major cuisines. It is often shown as "thick oil red sauce\

,"It is the NO.1 taste of home in the hearts of Modu people, local dishes.

Crystal shrimp, tofu with crab powder, fried shredded eel, mandarin fish with pine nuts. . .

One after another of exquisite delicacies, Arthur lamented that the chefs of Dragon and Phoenix Hall brought out the red, sweet, white and fresh dishes of the local cuisine to the fullest.

After tasting the perfect food, Arthur took Jiang Lai's slender waist and followed Zheng Bao to the Jasmine Lounge on the first floor. There were elegant slow songs playing here, especially the smiles on the faces of the service staff, which gave Yas Ser left a deep impression, warm and sincere.

In white dresses and red bow ties, six energetic old musicians sat on a small stage with gray hair and no gorgeous acting skills, but the music they deduced was so beautiful.

The three of Arthur ordered cocktails, and sat in chairs quietly listening to a piece of familiar music. From their music, they could really feel the vicissitudes of history in Shanghai. Perhaps these classic voices are the different feelings they have for the city of Modu, and they are using music to tell the story of the old Modu to more people.

After being baptized by the wine table culture, Arthur and Little Leopard became more familiar and casual. The key is that there is no language barrier between the two parties, and since everyone is young, it will be easy to get along with each other.

"My lord, I heard from Jiang Lai that you came to Tianchao this time to invest in movie theaters?" The little leopard called out the nickname he gave Arthur not long ago, and Arthur readily accepted this nickname.

He also finally knew why Little Leopard was able to get along so well in the future. It has to be said that he was indeed a good dancer. The key was that he had a rare affinity that made it hard to be hated.

"Hehe, isn't this a bit of spare money? I heard from Lai that the film market in China is starting to rise, so I have the idea of ​​investing in theaters in China, but I heard from her that you once said that one of your friends is doing Cinema, but it doesn't make money, does it?"

"Well, that's true." Little Leopard curled his lips, nodded and said, "After Jiang Lai mentioned it to me, I deliberately learned and collected some information about the Tianchao Cinemas. Listen?"

"Of course, thanks." Arthur smiled and touched the other party with a cocktail.

"You're welcome, it's not a secret." Little Leopard took a sip of his wine and said with a happy smile. He knew that the other party knew about it.

"In 2002, the reform of the movie theater line system,

The box office of the film market has grown from 920 million yuan in 2003 to 10 billion yuan in 2009, a rapid growth of more than 10 times. The huge potential of Chinese films and the influence that is waiting to explode are indeed eye-catching.

In the past 2009, there were 14 theaters nationwide with an annual box office of over 100 million yuan, of which 5 theaters exceeded 600 million yuan, and Wanda Cinemas ranked first with a box office of 830 million yuan.

However, from the initial separatism and hegemony of China’s cinema market, it has gradually shown a situation of vying for the throne. The three forces supporting China’s cinema market are private cinema chains, state-owned cinema chains, and various cinema investment management companies.

At present, there are three private cinema chains with the most exemplary models. Wanda Cinemas started in 2005, Dadi Cinemas started in 2006, and Times Jindian Cinemas was approved for establishment in 2009, but I heard that they are pulling theaters, and more than 60 theaters have joined.

There are still theaters that cannot be underestimated. One is Jinyi Cinemas, which has undergone several capital reorganizations. According to the information I got, it is one of the most growing cinemas in the industry. In Hengdian Cinemas, it has been in the market for two years and has taken the express train of the development of the film industry. The box office also exceeded 100 million yuan, ranking 12th. It's a middle school.

Then there are the national cinema chains, which are all leaders. In the end, there are only cinema investment companies. There are two He Rijiang companies, and one is Zhongying, especially Zhongying. , What does leading enterprise mean? It means having sufficient control and influence on resources and a strong voice in the market.

In 2007, it joined hands with Times Classic to acquire Warner's four theaters, and began planning to build a complete industrial chain. . . "

Arthur listened very seriously, and to be honest, he didn't expect Little Leopard to talk in such detail, summarizing the current situation of the entire Celestial Dynasty's theaters, so he picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Little Leopard's again.

"Thank you, what you said is really useful!"

Hearing Arthur's heartfelt thanks, and Jiang Lai's grateful and happy look on the side, the little leopard smiled brighter and brighter. After drinking up the wine in the glass, he smiled freely and said: "It's just useful, don't thank you, we are friends."

"Hehe, that's good, then I won't thank you. If I really invest in the theaters in China in the end, I will give you the best scheduling time for the movies you participate in in the future!" Arthur joked with a smile.

"Haha, that's a good relationship, then I'll just wait for that day to come." Little Leopard smiled happily, "However, according to my understanding, although the theaters are thriving, most theaters' operating conditions Worryingly, the theater market as a whole is facing severe challenges.

According to the current internal regulations that my friend told me, 5% of a film’s box office revenue should be turned over as a special fund for film development, and there is also a business tax of 3.3%. The remaining box office theaters and theaters account for 5%. Seventeen, the film studio and the distributor share 43%.

For example, taking a movie box office of 10 million yuan as an example, the special fund is 500,000 yuan, the business tax is 330,000 yuan, the theater chain and theater side are 5.23 million yuan, and the film side and distributors are 3.94 million yuan. Among them, because of the implementation of the theater system, the theaters will get about 4% of the total box office.

In the end, after deducting miscellaneous things, the theater can get 10% of the movie's total box office of 10 million, which is 1 million, which is very good. My friend's theater ranks 35th in the country, which is already very good, but he dare not say whether it makes money or not. Even if the average daily box office can reach a perfect 160,000, 5 million per month, and the annual box office is 60 million, the rent and property costs will be 12 million a year, more than 20%, and the operating cost is too high . "

Hearing what the little leopard said, Arthur was very moved. This is the really useful data and information. To be honest, Arthur really doesn't know much about movie theaters, but many people know that "theatres get Half of the box office", I feel that theaters are making a lot of money, so I thought of taking a share of the Chinese film market that will be very prosperous in the future.

It seems that the idea of ​​building a cinema chain by myself is about to be given up, and I can only find a big fish to invest in from this big pond!

It must be said that the water is big and the fish is big, and the fish can survive until the end!

"I really want to say thank you solemnly." Arthur said to the little leopard with a smile.

Little Leopard naturally knows that what he said is very useful, but he actually depends on the person to order. He just heard what Jiang Lai said about Arthur's identity before, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or not. There are indeed many liars.

However, through contact, and after knowing Arthur's name, he used the time to go to the bathroom to search the Internet, and he really found a piece of news, that is, the news that Quanta Group became a shareholder of the coastal power plant A text message, which mentioned Arthur.

It's not that Little Leopard doesn't believe in Jiang Lai, but that he doesn't believe in the IQ of a woman in love. After confirming Arthur's identity, he becomes more enthusiastic, one more friend and one more way, let alone Arthur A super big money owner like Bolin is really a big man who never gets to know each other. How could he miss the opportunity to establish a friendship with the other party.

After confirming Arthur's identity, Little Leopard did not expect to establish a friendship with Arthur through Jiang Lai's relationship, because in his opinion, this kind of love relationship is the most unreliable, and he can only rely on Jiang Lai and Arthur today. Arthur became a friend, then in the future, because of the end of the relationship between the two, they may sever their friendship with Arthur.

Therefore, the most reliable relationship is built by yourself!
