My 1999

"Shopping has consumed you like this? Xu Liang, you are weak." Jiang Xiaoyang said with a smile.

What men can’t stand the most is being told ‘no’.

Stand up suddenly.

"walk home."

"What are you going home for? No more watching movies."

Xu Liang looked serious and said slowly.

"I want you to call me daddy."

Jiang Xiaoyang's face turned red, and countless scenes inappropriate for children flashed through his mind.

Give the stinky man a rollicking look.

"You can say this in front of my dad if you can."

You definitely can’t give in at this time.

"As long as you dare, I dare."

"Okay, come to my house tonight."

Xu Liang was shocked, "I'm just talking, this bitch can't be serious, right?"

"Well, is our dad at home tonight?"

"Where are you going if you're not at home?"

"I read on the news that didn't all the big leaders go to inspect during the Chinese New Year? Our dad won't go?"

"My dad only cares about the four-nine cities. He doesn't have to fly around."

"So that's what happened." Xu Liang grabbed the duffel bag on the sofa, "Wait here for a while while I put these things in the car first. It's too inconvenient to carry them."

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoyang to speak, he left alone.

Looking at his back, Jiang Xiaoyang smiled.

"This stinky man also changes the subject."

Of course, she also contributed to her active cooperation. Otherwise, if there was really going to be a battle between Mars and the Earth at home, Comrade Jiang Weiguo would be able to kill them with just his eyes.

Xu Liang put the clothes, shoes and other things he bought in the car, and then came back and took Jiang Xiaoyang to the movie theater on the fourth floor.

"Thaihua International Cinemas? Are you still in the theater business?"

"I've spent so much effort building a city complex, so I can't just rely on rent to live on, right?"

Xu Liang nodded, "The urban complex can gather a large number of passengers and is a good platform, which is indeed suitable for developing some branch businesses.

However, the total scale of the domestic film and television industry does not even have a box office of 2 billion a year. Are you sure you can make money? "

"I'm not just a theater chain. Besides, the domestic film and television industry is also developing. Now it's 2 billion per year. In a few years of development, it might exceed 10 billion."

"Ten billions, you really dare to think about it."

"I have confidence in the domestic market." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Before his rebirth, the domestic film industry was worth 50 to 60 billion yuan.

Although the theater chain cannot make a lot of money, it is also a good supplement to the real estate business.

Of course, the reason why he is doing theater business is to copy Wanda's work.

So in addition to theaters, he also runs hotels.

Mainly working with the Qiu family.

Taihua holds a 40% stake in the five-star Goodwood Garden Hotel owned by the Qiu family.

As for the three-star hotel chain brand ‘Taihua International Hotel’ developed by Taihua itself, the Qiu family holds 40% of the shares.

The Qiu family relied on Taihua's financial resources, while Taihua relied on the Qiu family's experience and connections in the hotel industry.

win-win.

"Stop talking about this, go over and watch some good movies."

Pulled Jiang Xiaoyang to the counter.

In early 2004, China's film and television industry had just been liberalized. Apart from the aging state-owned enterprises, there were only a few private companies such as Huayi and New Picture.

Even Hongmeng Film and Television now basically produces low-cost idol dramas and modern dramas.

Movies are basically equity participation.

For example, Hongmeng got a 20% share of Lao Mouzi’s “House of Flying Daggers”.

Xu Liang glanced at the list.

"Hacker Sniper", "Flying Eagle", "Urban Love Network", "Sanda", several names that I have never heard of.

Fortunately, there are a few familiar names.

"Titanic," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Jurassic Park."

"Why are there so many old movies?"

Jiang Xiaoyang said in surprise.

"It is estimated that there will be no blockbuster movies in January, so theaters will take out old movies and show them."

This was Xu Liang's idea.

Because 'Thaihua International Cinemas' is a very large chain of theaters with at least ten or even fifteen theaters.

However, there are currently few blockbuster movies in China.

During the off-season, I make money by showing old movies.

Not to mention, the attendance rate of Hollywood blockbusters is pretty good.

As for copyright, this is China in 2004.

"Which one do you want to watch?"

"Titanic, right? When it was released, I was preparing to go to the United States for graduate school. I had a lot of homework and didn't have time to watch it."

"Then two eight-thirty copies of Titanic."

The two bought some popcorn and two bottles of Tianshan Ice Spring.

After waiting for a while, we entered.

Looking at the soft furnishings around him, Jiang Xiaoyang smiled and said, "It's well built."

"Of course. All Taihua Cinemas have adopted Dolby Noise Reduction System and Dolby Surround Sound System from the beginning, providing a first-class viewing experience. In terms of hardware, all seats are the latest ergonomically upholstered seats. .

This condition is unique in all of China. "

"With such a big investment, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recoup the cost?"

“Have you ever seen my investments fail?”

Although it's stinky, Jiang Xiaoyang has never seen Xu Liang's investment fail, even once.

This is why Hanhua is so attractive to this day.

"The movie has started."

Xu Liang reminded him, and the two of them stopped chatting and started looking at each other.

Although "Titanic" is an old movie from six or seven years ago, it has such a great reputation and is a sweet romance movie.

So, attendance was pretty good.

The hall with hundreds of people was almost half full.

As the plot continues to deepen, it soon comes to the scene where Jack paints the meat.

It's a pity that the scene of the nude body of shredded meat was directly deleted, which made Xu Liang feel regretful.

Such great learning materials, why were they deleted?

Although I didn't see what I wanted to see, fortunately, Miss Jiang next to me was also pretty good.

Jiang Xiaoyang glanced at the smelly man next to him expressionlessly.

Can you change the place when you touch it?

After a few hours, my thighs were almost covered with sparks.

In fact, Xu Liang also wanted to change places, but this time was not the last time he and Qiao Yu met to watch "Color is Empty".

It was summer, everyone didn't wear much clothes, and there weren't many people in the screening room.

Nowadays, there are people all over the place, and the clothes are thick, which is too inconvenient for people who want to be happy.

Apart from his small hands and thighs, Xu Liang didn't dare to do anything else.

"How about we go home? The movie is boring." Jiang Xiaoyang whispered in his ear.

Xu Liang decisively agreed.

"Go to my house? Or take you home?"

"What are you thinking about? Of course you want to send me home? The company is closed now, and I can't even use overtime as an excuse."

"We are about to get engaged now. My father-in-law and mother-in-law should be able to understand the hunger and thirst of young people."

"Hurry up, you hungry man. If you don't come home at ten o'clock, my mother will kill you again."

After Xu Liang sent Jiang Xiaoyang back, he called Mo Maniang and asked.

Although the great beauty also knows the taste of food, but unfortunately her parents are at home and there is no excuse not to spend the night outside.

"By the way, dear. My godmother and Sissi want to meet you?"

"Why are you meeting me?"

"When you sent me there that day, Sissi saw you."

"So when they asked, you exposed my identity?"

"I told them to keep it a secret." Mo Maniang felt a little unsure.

Xu Liang sighed. In front of the well-informed Liu Xiaoli, Mo Maniang, who had not yet stepped out of college, was no different from a little white rabbit. She could come up with something in just a few sentences.

If she uses her identity as godmother again, she will definitely wipe out all her money.

"Okay, but I don't have time these days."

"It's okay. We'll make an appointment when you have time."

"I'll call you then."

"Um."

After saying a few more love words, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, I picked up the phone and dialed again.

"Mr. Xu, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year. Lao Lu, are you in the capital?"

"Here, if you have anything to do, just ask."

"Go to the company early tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."

"OK."

"Let's do this for now, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

I turned on my computer and processed some work emails.

As more and more businesses are under his control, although he is only responsible for strategic decisions, he has to read the company's monthly statements and some key investments.

There is no need to micromanage everything, but you do need to have a certain understanding of the company's development.

Strategic decisions made in this way are based on facts rather than castles in the air.

the next day.

Xu Liang drove to the headquarters of Taihua Real Estate Group in Beijing early.

Most people in the company are on vacation, but there are still some people left behind.

Go straight to the top floor.

Here, the company set aside an office for him.

Not long after, Lu Jue knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Xu."

Waved.

"Come and sit."

Lu Hui was on annual leave and originally wanted to arrange a new secretary for him, but Xu Liang refused.

So I made a pot of tea for Lu Jue.

"I read the company's financial statements last year, and they were very good."

"Ashamedly, Taihua has never been able to achieve revenue balance."

"Balanced revenue? What are you thinking about? It won't be possible for at least three to five years." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Currently, Taihua has built eight urban complexes, which are basically renovated from unfinished buildings. Because they have a certain foundation, they can be built relatively quickly.

Because of its huge area (there was no such thing as urban complex in China at this time, they were basically department stores, and the area rarely exceeded 50,000 square meters), the design was relatively avant-garde, and the publicity was in place, so it was very popular as soon as it opened.

Among the eight urban complexes, Xizhimen Taihua City, the earliest to open, created an astonishing performance of 1.4 billion Chinese dollars throughout 2003.

Although the other seven have been open for a long or short time, they also pushed the turnover of the entire Taihua Group to 3.9 billion Chinese dollars in 2003.

Note that turnover is not revenue.

Taihua Group's revenue in 2003 was less than 500 million Chinese dollars.

Why is it so low?

In order to attract customers, commercial real estate companies often offer rent-free discounts for half a year or a year.

However, after the preferential period has passed, Taihua's revenue will skyrocket.

But compared to the huge expenditure, it is still not enough.

Currently, Taihua is building 27 projects with a total construction area of ​​9.45 million square meters. Excluding land, the total investment is 18.9 billion Chinese dollars.

Including land, this number doubles.

To achieve a balanced revenue, Taihua’s annual revenue must exceed 40 billion Huaxia coins.
