Chapter 105: How to spend the box office dividends after they arrive?(2/2)
Instead, his family purchased several cinemas and exceeded the number of one hundred.
Like Ronald's daydream, Thomas Jr., who was in charge of the acquisition, also took a fancy to several movie theaters on Forty-second Street that once belonged to the Cannon Cinemas chain. It turned out that after his offer was rejected by the movie theater owner, he discovered
I was also daydreaming about bidding, so I called Ronald’s agent to negotiate.
"Can you give me these cinemas? I have to achieve good results in the company before I can hope to take over greater authority." Thomas Jr. has high hopes from his father and is training him to be his future successor, but other people in the company
The shareholders were not very convinced and needed him to deliver results to convince everyone. Therefore, the important acquisition work of breaking through 100 theaters was handed over to his son.
"Sorry, Thomas, my company needs these movie theaters. As you know, my company now has many low-cost movies. If they can be released in movie theaters, it will bring me a lot of benefits. I don't need to explain this to you.
Right?" Ronald rejected the other party's proposal. We are not so familiar with each other, right?
"I understand, I understand, do you think this will work? If you can withdraw from the bidding, then I can sign a cooperation agreement with your Daydream. In the future, I will guarantee a certain number of low-cost movies produced by your company.
You will never suffer a loss.
In fact, operating a movie theater is a specialized business. Let professional people like me do it. This way, you can focus on production, but more movie theaters can show it, and it is a win-win situation for us."
Thomas Stephenson Jr. talked a lot about the difficulties of operating a movie theater, and also pointed out that the Mill Theater environment is complex and requires a professional team to operate it.
Ronald still shook his head. For such an agreement, how could he control the insurance from several movie theaters? What he wanted when buying a movie theater was insurance. His own movies could go to the movie theaters if he wanted. Besides, there was still so much money that he had not spent.
When I go out, I always have to buy something.
"Okay, if we can't make a deal, we're still friends, right? I will continue to support your movies in the future." Little Thomas didn't let go when he saw Ronald, knowing that the other party would only be willing to control several movie theaters in his hands.
"How about this, how about we work together in another way?" Ronald suddenly had an inspiration.
"I am willing to listen to any reasonable suggestions." Thomas sat down again.
"I will buy these theaters and then join your Hollywood theater chain. You will send people to my place to operate them according to the conditions of your franchise. In this way, you can save money to buy other theaters, and the number of franchise movies will increase.
It can be more than the original. It is more beneficial to your goals and is also a more suitable win-win method."
Ronald's proposal is to control the cinema himself and then join the other party's cinema alliance. In this way, Thomas' goal of showing his ability in front of shareholders can be exceeded. Anyway, cinemas do not have cinema movies to fill them at all times.
Low-cost movies can always find time to be released.
"I will run it all? I want to send my people to be managers. They are my people..." Thomas felt that this proposal was a good one and hinted that he would stand on his side in future theater conferences. He would also send himself
His direct descendants came to run Ronald's movie theater.
"make a deal!"
Ronald stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously, "Come on, let's relax for a while. The massage here is good and very relaxing."
…
"The total cost of purchasing three movie theaters was less than five million. The budget for acquiring the video tape production line and then moving it to Staten Island was less than $800,000. What are you going to do with the rest of the money?" Private accountant Lawrence Wang Ye
Flying to Palm Springs.
Ronald also scratched his head. This kind of symbolic purchase of a few movie theaters, and then a small production line, can meet most needs. Cannon's purchase of large quantities of movie theaters overseas has proven to be very risky.
Japan Dream has no need to go public, and the production volume is not large, so there is no need to be so radical.
Ask Ronald how he handles his income. The speed of spending money is far slower than making money.
"Should we still invest in the securities market? Coca-Cola and Microsoft are split in half? Now Microsoft's stock price has dropped quite sharply. Their new version of the operating system Windows 2.0 has received poor reviews and has many bugs."
Ronald took the stock trend chart and looked at it. There was indeed something wrong. After Apple Computer eliminated the founder from the company, the subsequent launch of new Macintosh computer models received a good response. Microsoft had no choice but to launch its own graphical operation.
system.
However, their operating systems always have some compatibility issues and often crash.
