Chapter 641 Buying a Property


    The first phase of New Town Plaza is very large.


    It is divided into two wings, the north and the south, connected by a pedestrian bridge in the middle. It has two floors underground and five floors above ground. It can be accessed directly from the subway station exit. The transportation is very convenient.


    It is best to build a cinema during the planning of the shopping mall, because there are standards for the hardware conditions of the cinema, such as height, width, load-bearing, etc. Chen Qi now wants to build his first multiplex theater, which can only be embedded in a completed shopping mall.


    Then it must be built in conjunction with the shopping mall. The same goes for China Resources. Of course, based on his subjective wishes, at least 5 halls are required.


    Chen Qi didn''t know how to design and needed to find professionals. He came to see the environment today.


    "Ten dollars per square foot?"


    "The new plaza has opened. The lease is long and the area is large, so it''s cheaper. It''s 10 yuan per square foot. Boss, if you rent 20,000 square feet, it only costs more than 2 million a year. Looking at you as a handsome guy, you must be capable!"


    "I don''t have the strength, but you praise me for being handsome, and I''m very happy."


    "I can''t help it, I just speak so straightly!"


    Jiang Zhiqiang watched Chen Qi pay a private visit in disguise and flirt with a staff member of the shopping mall, and whispered: "Is Mr. Chen always so friendly to the people?"


    "I''ve only been here a few days, and I don''t know!" Gu Weili said.


    "Then after I come here, shall we call each other gay?"


    "It''s up to you, there are no hard and fast rules. However, the company''s treatment is really good. Houses are allocated, meals are included, and transportation and communications are subsidized. The key is prestige. You don''t have to be humble. Wow!"


    "I have a house and a car, so I don''t need it."


    After all, Jiang Zhiqiang is a second generation, much better than Gu Weili. In fact, he has always been puzzled. He has not shown any talent. Why did Mr. Chen choose him as his assistant?


    After much deliberation, there is only one reason: protons!


    I stayed on the left as a hostage so that my eldest brother and my father could work in peace.


    The three of them walked around for a long time and looked at the residential buildings under construction. Chen Qi asked: "How much can the houses here sell for?"


    "According to the current market price, one foot is 600 yuan!" Gu Weili said.


    "How can it be 600 yuan? Taikoo Shing is only 700 yuan! Mei Foo Sun Village is only 600 yuan, but the price in Tsuen Wan has dropped to 500 yuan!" Jiang Zhiqiang understands very well.


    "500? Is there anything cheaper?"


    "I heard that there is a building with a price of 300 yuan, but I don''t dare to live in it."


    "Then it''s usually 500-600/foot?"


    "Absolutely! The price has fallen sharply in the past two years. I remember that in 1981, it sold for 1,100 yuan in Taikoo Shing."


    At 500 yuan per square foot, a 500-square-foot house costs more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. It won’t take long to reach more than 1 million by the early 1990s, and another zero will be added in a few decades!


    Chen Qi didn''t go there for the appreciation in value in a few decades, that''s too far away - the book has been written and it hasn''t arrived yet.


    At present, it is not a problem for everyone to live in Yindu dormitory all the time. The company must have some financial resources of its own. This time he plans to borrow 20 million to 30 million, part of which will buy a house or shop, and part of which will build a theater.


    The house serves as a dormitory, and the shop serves as a video and fan club for expansion.


    No matter what happens in the future, at least some industry will be left to Dongchang.


    "The heart of my boxing can be learned from the sun and the moon!"


    Chen Qi was moved. Since he bought a house, it makes sense to keep a cadre house for himself, right?


    As for the land, there is no hope. He cannot engage in real estate. The land he needs is to build a large comprehensive studio, with a main building, dormitories, photo studios, and post-production workshops. The studio is a special organization in Hong Kong. It must apply to the Hong Kong government, and the land will be granted only after it is approved.


    There are already film studios in the city, and with Hong Kong''s moral character, it is unlikely that it will grant another film to a Chinese-funded company.


    …


    After waiting for a few days, China Resources moved quickly.


    Guo Yourong met with him again and said: "The leaders did not dare to agree to the long-term strategic cooperation you mentioned, but they agreed to build a theater for you. It is not in the main building. It is a bit nondescript to build the theater in an office building. You accept it in the auxiliary building "?"


    "The annex building is okay, but it''s easier to plan!"


    "That''s good, it''s just that the time needs to be postponed until we complete it."


    "It''s okay, no delay!"


    Chen Qi nodded. Then build the first store in Shatin and the second store in China Resources. In fact, the first multiplex theater in Hong Kong was built in New Town Plaza in Shatin. It had 6 halls, so it was called UA6. It later developed into UA Cinemas.


    "And what about the publicity thing you mentioned?" Guo Yourong was a little embarrassed.


    "No problem! Come to the set someday and we''ll officially connect."


    "Okay, thank you so much! To be honest, we have been rooted in Hong Kong for many years, and our publicity has always been, uh, you know... We have never been in contact with you in the past, but everyone loves to watch your program, and you have appeared in newspapers Every time an article is published, the Chinese paper is expensive!”


    "Don''t take it seriously, don''t take it seriously!"


    The two of them were chatting on the first floor of China Resources when suddenly a man came in through the door. He saw Guo Yourong waving to him as a greeting and hurriedly got on the elevator.


    Chen Qi didn''t recognize him and asked casually: "Who is this?"


    "Oh, people from Hua Ke."


    "Huake Electronics? I think I''ve heard of it."


    "Yes, we have a joint venture with a Hong Kong company to produce electronic watches, electronic toys and integrated circuit chips. The performance is not very good and we are losing money."


    “Can I still lose money by making electronic watches?”


    "I''m not sure, it''s not a system."


    This is not a secret within Chinese capital, so Guo Yourong answered casually.


    He stayed with Chen Qi for another meal. They were very sorry that there was no braised pork belly in Hong Kong. They agreed that if they met in the capital, they would have two bowls of braised pork and two large intestines to enjoy themselves.


    Chen Qi came out after dinner. The theater affairs were finally settled. The next step was to find professionals.


    The main thing is to establish an online relationship with China Resources, so we can have more contacts.


    …


    night.


    After Zhuang Cheng met with Lei Juekun, he returned home smelling of alcohol.


    He washed himself and lay on the bed, suddenly feeling very funny.


    Lei Juekun came to him, naturally, for the source of Princess Jin''s film. Legendary Pictures currently only has one film, "The Wrong Ride," and Lei Juekun feels that the box office will not be very good, but in order to win over Zhuang Cheng, he is sincere and is willing to give an extra 10% of the bill.


    In the absence of instructions from Chen Qi, Zhuang Cheng had the discretion to think about it and agreed. At the same time, he also brought up the unnecessary Spring Festival film he talked about before, hoping that Princess Jin would keep the best schedule for himself.


    Lei Juekun was very happy.


    Zhuang Cheng is also a thief now. This New Year''s film was originally fake, but if he can really make one, then it will be released directly to the left, Mr. Chen will be very happy.


    "Oh yes, I almost forgot!"


    Zhuang Cheng was about to fall asleep when he suddenly remembered and called his boss.


    "To report a few things, I promised Lei Juekun to put "The Wrong Ride" on Princess Jin!"


    "Yes, yes!"


    ""The Wrong Ride" will be released in Taiwan next month, and then I will sign up for the Golden Horse."


    "good!"


    "I really want to make that Spring Festival film."


    "You decide for yourself."


    After a few words and hanging up, Zhuang Cheng fell asleep with peace of mind.


    Legendary Pictures is booming. "Mr. Zombie" ended with a box office of 20 million, and it also sold at a good price overseas.


    The Taiwanese film studio spent 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Japanese actually liked it very much. They paid 1 million U.S. dollars. These two businesses earned more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. In the environment where Chen Qi violated the taboo of introducing Western films, his colleagues all praised: The locals have produced a new generation who can compete overseas, and sooner or later they will surpass the mainland Chinese!


    Historically, "Mr. Zombie" has earned nearly NT$100 million in Taiwan and about 650 million yen in Japan. It is not as good as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, but compared to others, it is already a slump. This kind of ghost culture is popular in East and Southeast Asia. They are all connected.


    Zhuang Cheng is also getting better and can compete with his boss.


    (There will be more at night...)
