"Mr. Ye, are you looking for me?" Song Xuemin knocked on the door and asked.
Song Xuemin is in her thirties, wearing a well-fitting suit. At first glance, she looks like a professional elite.
"Amin, do it!" Ye Zhiming smiled and pointed to the sofa in the reception area.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Song Xuemin sat down and waited for Ye Zhiming to speak.
"Amin, how is the theater decoration going?" Ye Zhiming called Song Xuemin here just to ask about the theater.
"Mr. Ye, renovations have begun on all 28 theaters and are expected to be completed in another month.
But, Mr. Ye, do we really want to build this kind of small cinema?" Song Xuemin didn't understand Ye Zhiming's decision, why we had to build this kind of small cinema.
The cost of decorating a small theater will be much higher, several times more expensive than a large theater.
"Of course, this kind of small cinema is a global trend, and all cinemas in the future will be such small cinemas." Ye Zhiming said with certainty.
However, Ye Zhiming did not tell Song Xuemin that it was not his decision to build the small cinema, but the boss's decision.
At first, he didn't understand why such a small theater with 100 or 200 seats was built.
In this era, the cinemas in Xiangjiang are the same as those in China. They are all large cinemas, with more than a thousand seats in each cinema.
However, Zhang Junping was finally convinced.
"Amin, think about it, today's theaters are often full of seats. If the occupancy rate is half, it is considered good, and if the occupancy rate reaches two-thirds, it is a popular movie.
Moreover, only one movie can be played in a cinema at the same time.
You can only wait for the other movie, or go to another theater to watch it.
What's this?
This is customer churn.
As for small theaters like ours, a theater consists of five or six small screening rooms, so it can show five or six movies at the same time.
In this way, when customers come, they can freely choose whatever movie they want to watch, which will increase attendance and profits." Ye Zhiming patiently explained to Song Xuemin.
Song Xuemin is his capable subordinate and an assistant he plans to cultivate vigorously.
Just one Crystal Palace nightclub on Kiu Tsui Island would overwhelm his existing team.
What's more, what Zhang Junping planned for him was not as simple as Qiaozui Island.
It is an entertainment media group.
The Crystal Palace nightclub is just one of those properties.
In the future, Crystal Palace Entertainment Media will make movies, open cinemas, record companies, brokerage companies, and art training schools.
"Mr. Ye, I've thought of everything you said, but I feel like it's too much money and the investment is not proportional to the return."
Song Xuemin also thought about what Ye Zhiming said. It would cost several times more to build a small screening room. The investment was too big and he didn't know when he would be able to recover it.
"Haha! You don't have to worry about this. What you see is only the immediate economic benefits, which is the ratio of screening income to investment.
The boss is looking at a higher level.
The boss looks at not only financial interests, but also other interests.
For example, in the future, if we shoot our own movies, the box office will not be affected by theater chains.
There are also political interests.
As long as you understand one thing, if you can become a boss and make money that none of us can make in a few lifetimes, your vision and ability will definitely be better than ours." Ye Zhiming patiently explained the secret.
The reason why Ye Zhiming is willing to explain so much is because Song Xuemin has one advantage. Even if he cannot understand, it will not delay his work and he will resolutely implement the orders of his superiors.
However, it will be brought up at the appropriate time.
"I understand, Mr. Ye!" Song Xuemin nodded.
He agrees with this. Anyone who can become a boss has something extraordinary.
"Hurry up and wait for the renovation of the twenty-eight theaters. There are still twenty-four theaters waiting for you to decorate! When all the theaters are decorated, you will be the manager of the theater chain." Ye Zhiming smiled and drew a picture for Song Xuemin.
Piece of cake.
"There are twenty-four more?
In that case, wouldn't our Crystal Palace Grand Theater become the largest theater chain in Hong Kong? A super theater chain with fifty-two theaters?" Song Xuemin said in surprise.
"Yes! The other twenty-four are part of the Shuangnan cinema chain, and the boss has already bought them." Ye Zhiming said with a smile.
"Understood, I will supervise the decoration company and complete the decoration of the theater as soon as possible." Song Xuemin promised loudly.
Super theater manager of fifty-two theaters.
Song Xuemin left Ye Zhiming's office full of fighting spirit.
Not only Song Xuemin is full of fighting spirit, Ye Zhiming is also full of fighting spirit.
With theaters, film companies, and art training schools, will the Crystal Palace nightclub still lack beauties?
Thinking about it, Ye Zhiming feels a little evil.
However, the boss is right. There are always some women in this world who prefer to sell themselves rather than perform arts and prefer simple ways to make money.
As long as you don't force girls into prostitution, there is no evil.
The world is so big, especially in Little Book, and many women over there in Bangzi are living in dire straits, waiting for them to save them.
Ye Zhiming calmed down and pressed the call bell again.
A female secretary with a hot figure and very economical clothes walked in and said, "Mr. Ye."
"Let Zhao Jiahao come for a visit!"
"Okay!" The female secretary nodded and walked out.
"Mr. Ye, are you looking for me?" Zhao Jiahao walked in not long after.
"Ah Hao! How many tenants are there in our building now?" Ye Zhiming asked with a smile.
Zhao Jiahao is also his team member and is now in charge of the property management of Crystal Palace Building.
"Mr. Ye, there are currently 289 tenants in the Crystal Palace Building, and more than 20 of them have been in arrears with rent for several months.
There are more than fifty others, and it seems that the business situation is not very good." Zhao Jiahao answered directly without reading the book.
"Nowadays, Hong Kong's economy is a bit sluggish, and there are indeed many companies that cannot survive." Ye Zhiming nodded and said with some seriousness.
If Zhang Junping hadn't helped him, Ye Zhiming would have been in the category of being unable to continue running the business.
"However, all this is an illusion, an illusion created by the British. This illusion will soon pass." Ye Zhiming said with certainty.
Zhao Jiahao didn't answer, quietly waiting for Ye Zhiming's next words.
Ye Zhiming definitely didn't call him here to deliver a speech on his confidence in Hong Kong's economy, and he didn't select members.
"However, this is also an opportunity for us.
I had a meeting with Mr. Gao and Mr. Ding in the morning and decided to change the use of the Crystal Palace Building.
Therefore, all existing tenants must be cleared out."
"Mr. Ye, this seems to be a bit difficult. More than 100 of our tenants are branches of international companies in Hong Kong.
They still have a long time left on their contracts.
If the contract is forced to be terminated, we will have to pay a lot of money."
