Chapter 499 Theater Alliance
Li Changheng, who was amused by Grosvenor's flattery and probing words, looked sideways at Annie beside him, and couldn't help but grab her hand and put it on his mouth to kiss him.
I still remember how cute she was when I saw Annie lying on the side of the road in a daze outside the Pantheon in Rome.
After getting along for more than 3 years, this chick is indeed perfect in my eyes except that she has lost a little weight and her combat effectiveness is a little weaker during fitness.
So even if you don't know the land price in London, in the future, because the tax rate is the lowest in Europe and the United States, it will attract a large number of desert tyrants and polar bears after the new century, which will push up the house price.
He also bought several theaters because he didn't want to disappoint Anne.
Besides, because of the calculator, I have more and more cash in my hands, and while spending tens of millions on value-preserving investments, I can avoid the income tax in England and the United States.
The third point is to have your own theater chain to avoid restrictions on film production.
Seeing Li Changheng looking at her affectionately, Annie felt as if she had been filled with nectar.
Leaning in Li Changheng's arms sweetly and full of love, he whispered, "Honey, you are my prince and only one."
"Yeah," Li Changheng smiled and lowered his head to kiss Annie's forehead, "I love you so much, too."
Annie raised her head and gave him a blank look. Li Changheng didn't understand that this chick was dissatisfied that he didn't say the only promise like her.
He could only wrap his arms around her slender waist and tighten it into his arms.
And Charles and the others didn't disturb the two of them. Instead, you looked at me, and I looked at you with a bright smile.
Because everyone knows that if you want to maintain a close relationship with Li Changheng and get his advice and suggestions, there is no more suitable and important bond than Anne.
After a while, a cough sounded, and Annie, who had reacted, immediately began to blush.
Gently pushing Li Changheng away, leaning on the sofa very ladylikely, but staring at the empty place in the living room.
Li Changheng held Annie's hand again, and then looked at Charles and the others and said, "Exchange for gold futures, or sell them and then buy theaters and cinemas in commercial streets such as Oxford Street.
I can't guarantee anything else, but I'm sure it will triple within ten years.
In addition, young people who were born after the war and grew up during reconstruction became the main force of entertainment consumption.
Movies, an entertainment mode that is more dazzling and exciting than operas, and at least three times cheaper, will definitely become their first choice. "
I heard Li Changheng said that movies will be more popular with young people than operas, except for Charles, who is a deep opera fan and also an actor in the university opera club, who performed on stage.
Others think about the easy, quicker experience of watching Home Alone tonight.
Comparing it with the dullness of watching an opera, I soon realized that I hadn’t taken the initiative to listen to an opera for a long time.
And most importantly, England's economy has been sluggish these years.
The price gap of at least 3 times, and the dress code required to enter the theater, determine that opera is not the first choice of entertainment for ordinary people.
Since it is not the first choice of major consumers, opera may indeed become less and less popular.
Grosvenor, who sold his theater to Li Changheng, has a deeper experience in this regard.
After thinking for a while, he coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "If the theater I sold to Henry hadn't played midnight movies these years.
It's not just that it loses hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, it may not be able to continue its business long ago.
Moreover, unlike movies, which are produced in a huge amount every year and have a variety of genres, in the three years since I inherited the title, among the theater performances, the most popular ones are the musicals that started four years ago.
Other new shows were either not well-known, or they had to be withdrawn because no one watched them after only running for a month.
And the most troublesome thing is that it takes too long for an opera to go from the script, to finding actors, to rehearsing, performing in the theater, and becoming famous.
Coupled with the single scene, whether it is good or not depends entirely on the script and the acting skills of the actors. It is indeed difficult to attract new audiences and regular customers.
Although the movie also depends on the script and acting skills, it can be transformed into a real scene. The plot, comedy elements, fighting, gunfights and other elements are much more exciting than operas.
If it weren't for the fact that the land price has risen by about 4% every year, and the family has always been able to sell the property without selling it, when the money was urgently needed the year before last.
I might actually sell that theater, which has been criticized for its midnight movies and has affected the family's reputation. "
A person who experienced it personally said that now even Charles began to think about the opera club in his university, and it seemed that there were fewer and fewer people watching it.
Even those who are willing to join the hobby club are less and less embarrassed.
Everyone thinks about it, the economic situation in England has been declining in recent years.
Since Henry dares to say that he can triple the income in 10 years, it is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 30%.
Such a high rate of return, it seems that there are not many companies in England that can achieve it.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, and soon decided to follow Henry, the successful man.
At least this is much more reliable than investing indiscriminately by yourself and listening to the so-called financial elites and experts.
As for Li Changheng, since he has the idea of entering the theater chain, he will recruit Charles and his group to form an alliance-like theater chain.
Not only can the scale and market share be quickly formed, but also the operation of the theater chain can be handed over to them for management.
Before they make no mistakes and operate well, I don't have to put too much thought and energy into the cinema.
The extra time is not to mention making money, but spending more time with Annie and Ruan Mei would be fine.
As for letting Annie take care of it, Li Changheng shook his head after thinking about it.
Judging by the performance of this chick in the past three years, she is definitely not a workaholic and a strong woman.
As far as those things are concerned, she has already complained several times in succession.
And Annie is only under 20 years old, even if she is talented, it still needs a process of learning and adaptation.
"Then after we buy the theater and cinema, shall we form a new company?"
"The company doesn't need it," Li Changheng shook his head to Bell who asked the question, "Let's make a theater alliance, or wait until I start to expand in Paris, Rome, Madrid and other cities.
The shares in your hands will be compressed to single digits.
Instead of being a minority shareholder who has no right to speak, and may face the unexpected factor of being swallowed up, you might as well form an alliance with my theater chain as a partner. "
Let alone Jeffrey, Fred, and Bell who don't have much money, even Grosvenor and Charles are relieved.
After all, relying on capital advantages, it is not impossible to swallow up a company.
