Director’s Legend

"If this negotiation fails, you will concentrate on investing in Wanda Cinemas? This kind of big company has a strong background, so I'm afraid it's not easy to cooperate with." In the car, Li Xiuxiu began to chat about the company.

Shao Shuaijun let out a sigh of relief: "I don't know how to do business, but I know that this time is the best chance for us to control our own destiny. I checked Wanda's situation this year, and I can only use the superficial high-spirited, but in fact repeatedly Frustrated to describe..."

Wanda started out in real estate. In this era, real estate is the most lucrative industry. Everyone hopes to complete the real estate layout before others. But there is a key problem, that is, investing in real estate requires huge capital, and relying on banks is never the best solution.

In 2003, Wanda launched the plaza model and built the first Wanda Plaza in Fengtian (referred to as Shen~~~~~~~~~~~~yang). I thought this would be a road to wealth, but who knows that after the opening, the popularity was scarce, and it got into conflicts and disputes with the owners, and there was even news that Wanda Commercial Plaza would be demolished (in fact, it was demolished in 2006).

Afterwards, in many parts of the country, there were reports of merchants suing Wanda Group, all of which were fraudulent advertisements and trademarks without exception, and the popularity of the plaza was generally sluggish.

This has brought great embarrassment to Wanda's development. Without a third financing channel, Wanda's sources of funds are loans and second, real estate sales proceeds. These two channels have been used to the extreme, resulting in asset liabilities. The rate is as high as 90%, which has been criticized by the industry (I can only haha ​​for the specific reason, the expansion of capital is dark).

Therefore, Wanda urgently wants to go public for financing. In July this year, it accepted Macquarie Bank’s preferred stock price of US$88 million to hold 28% of Wanda’s nine commercial plazas. The two parties planned to establish a new company and issue REITs overseas. To be listed.

It's a pity that the negotiations were protracted, and there was news from the top that a document would be issued to strictly restrict the acquisition of mainland properties by foreign companies, which would block the way forward for Wanda. To put it bluntly, the current Wanda is the weakest Wanda. Although it intends to enter the theater system, it will definitely not have a large capital investment.

"Wanda wants to enter the theater chain. This is one of the real estate models of Wanda Plaza. Boss Lin is courageous. Wanda Plaza only rents and does not sell. Don't put too much pressure on funds. Investing in theaters becomes a tool for making money. This tool is not Wanda. I am willing, but I have to, because no other company is willing to invest in theaters in Wanda Plaza. I think that although our 30 million US dollars is not much, it is still possible to obtain a part of the shares of the theater chain. If not, we will continue to reserve Sell ​​the publishing rights of the "Twilight Saga" series of novels. By the way, you negotiate with the American publishing house, what is the maximum pre-sale money you can get?"

Li Xiuxiu thought for a while: "If the sales guarantee is included, it is estimated that we can get 50 million US dollars, but this will have a huge risk. In case the sales of the sequel of the novel are low, we will face huge debts."

Shao Shuaijun shook his head confidently, he could see the future of "Twilight Saga".

"Don't worry, the value of "The Twilight Saga" is beyond imagination. Don't forget, we still hold all the film copyrights in our hands. With the popularity of novels and the film copyrights as collateral, can we lend an extra US$50 million? Reach a total capital of 100 million?"

Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Are you crazy, 100 million, if you lose money, you can't afford it even if you sell us!"

"Believe me, I can see the prospects of "Twilight", and I can also see the prospects of Wanda Cinemas. Sister Xiuxiu, the movie market in the Mainland is booming. Investing in theaters is a business that only makes money but not loses." , Moreover, within two or three years, the investment will be recovered. Of course, I will not recover it. If the investment makes money, we will continue to invest. For Wanda Plaza, we will participate in the construction of the movie city. "

"Ah Jun, I need to think about it."

Shao Shuaijun gave a reassuring look: "Don't think too much, investing in theaters can't be completed in a year or two, we don't want to grab food, but participate in shares, solve the film's release channels, and the financial pressure will not be too great. Wanda has too many things to do and won’t be too distracted by the theater chain, this is something both parties are willing to do and will find the best way to cooperate.”

The profit model of the theater chain is single, and the profit is not high. If it is not for the control of channels, Shao Shuaijun would not bother to participate in the theater chain. The real big profit, is the source of the industry, making movies. But if you want to make money in making movies, you need the support of theaters. This is a deadlock.

Everything needs an industrial chain. If Shao Shuaijun wants to be free from constraints, this industrial chain must cover everything.

There are a lot of things, once the clues are cleared up, Li Xiuxiu will be clear.

The meeting with Zou Daheng was arranged for the next afternoon.

In other words, tonight, Shao Shuaijun had a rare evening and morning leisure time.

"Hong Kong, I've been here a few times, but I haven't taken a good look around. Sister Xiuxiu, it's rare to have free time. Let's go together." The plane arrived in Hong Kong in the afternoon, and the sun was no longer as hot as noon. After parking the car at the hotel where he was staying, Shao Shuaijun dragged Li Xiuxiu out.

Shao Shuaijun was dressed in hip-hop, and Li Xiuxiu was also in a simple t-shirt and denim shorts, with a large toad mirror on his face. They looked like a young couple.

Below the hotel is the most prosperous area of ​​Causeway Bay, and the two of them strolled in Times Square. Hong Kong is a place where every inch of gold is precious, and there are many high-rise buildings. For Times Square, which is full of luxury goods, Li Xiuxiu does not have bright eyes like ordinary girls. Instead, he led Shao Shuaijun towards the alley.

"There is an alley here, and there are many handicraft shops. Last time my sister came to Hong Kong, she brought me a bracelet. It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, I accidentally broke it. Let's look for it. It's right here. I want to buy another one."

There are many people bustling in the alleys, shopping in the setting sun.

After a while, I found the bracelet seller, a very small shop with all kinds of bracelets hanging on the walls.

"Sister Xiuxiu, let's see which one you like."

"How about this one?" Li Xiuxiu picked out a pink jade necklace. Putting it on the wrist and shaking, the necklace is exquisite, and the wrist is smooth and dazzling.

"It's beautiful, it's so beautiful." Shao Shuaijun flattered him.

Li Xiuxiu was very useful, and she looked at it again and again, and then changed into a yellow glass bead bracelet: "This one."

"It's beautiful, very beautiful!"

"I also think it's pretty good." Li Xiuxiu couldn't close her mouth, shaking back and forth excitedly.

After a few seconds, he fixed his eyes on a sapphire green bracelet: "This one, what about this one?"

Shao Shuaijun laughed, and took down an amber gravel bracelet from the wall: "Sister Xiuxiu, your skin is so white, this is definitely the best look, I judge with a professional eye, it can definitely set off your beauty the most. Come on , I'll bring it for you."

Involuntarily pulling Li Xiuxiu's hand, the ten fingers are slender and delicate.

Two blushes appeared on Li Xiuxiu's face, and she quietly asked Shao Shuaijun to help put it on.

The amber gravel bracelet made the skin more crystal clear and clean. Li Xiuxiu, who was originally very beautiful, suddenly looked like a person walking out of a painting.
