I Am a Nobleman in England - Chapter 437

It’s so simple and rude, just use money!

　　 Takeover negotiations, do you rely on your mouth? Stop it, everyone is busy.

　　 There is nothing in the world that cannot be broken with money. If there is, then you are not rich enough!

　　 The reason for the long-running ridicule of the acquisition negotiations is actually plainly speaking. It is because both parties have maintained their sense of reason. It is strange that they do not give in for their own interests.

How can it be simple now. To be honest, it is because time is too tight and cash is not easy to carry. Otherwise, Arthur would like to pour 45 million pounds of cash directly on the meeting room to let the other party experience money. youhuo.

　　 However, the effect is also good now, the real cash check, when you move forward, everyone on the other side is jealous.

　　 In fact, to be honest, many human relations accidents in this world seem difficult to deal with, but in fact, they can be solved with money. Well, although this is a bit absolute, in today’s society, except for birth, old age, sickness and death, money is basically omnipotent. (Don’t curl your lips, the devil’s experience!)

　　 Fifteen minutes later. . .

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and everyone in the theater line walked back to the conference room under the leadership of Ms. Binz. CEO Ms. Binz had a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely complicated to look at Ya with a bright smile. Sebring, the young rich man.

　　 “Mr. Bolin, after communicating with shareholders, we agree to your acquisition and we can start preparing the contract.”

　　 “Hehe, a wise choice!” Arthur smiled happily, stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said, “For you, you are just a different boss, and the others have not changed!”

Now that the acquisition has been successful, then Arthur naturally wants to appease the executives of the theater. After all, the most disturbed group of old employees is their new boss. Although they do not know that the emperor and the courtiers, but they It is also understood that the new boss will inevitably make personnel adjustments to complete the control, and that will naturally lead to management turbulence.

However, Arthur never thought about moving these people. To put it bluntly, Arthur didn’t really put the studio theater line in his eyes. The acquisition of it in advance was just to pave the way for the acquisition of the Odeon theater line. .

　　 The contract was drawn up very quickly, and after Arthur met with the shareholders who rushed over, the two parties signed and completed the transaction under the witness of the theater executives.

　　 Since the time, Arthur’s asset list has added another independent cinema line consisting of 23 theaters.

“…Many years ago, most market towns with a population of more than 10,000 people would have local cinemas. Many of those cinemas were closed in the 1980s, when the number of moviegoers in the UK was at its lowest. . Later. New technology gave people confidence and let you know that you don’t need a lot of money to develop your own movie theater.”

　　 CEO Bins accompanied the new boss Arthur Boleyn and began to visit the Prince Cinema, following the same steps, introducing the new boss like a few treasures.

　　 “Orientation?” Arthur asked, looking at the cinema that already belonged to him, although it was a bit old, but in a unique style, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

“For the cinema chain, we prefer to be positioned as a “neighborhood cinema”, rather than the traditional “boutique cinema” with a niche style of independent LI cinema. We will not care about the competition of high-end multi-hall cinemas. Although we don’t have big, shiny leather seats, we are very comfortable. We are part of the community and have delicious food and drinks. For us, a big advantage is that our film list has depth And breadth.”

　　 When talking about these, Binns is very proud, because only 2 of the company’s 23 theaters show relatively restricted movies. At the same time, theaters in Soho and Bloombury have implemented a pure screen policy. The theaters of Mayfair, Richmond and Wimbledon are also consistent with the brand’s core values, of course, you may see more mainstream films in other regions.

　　”…For us, the only problem is that the challenge facing the independent screening industry is how to maintain the number of viewers during the summer blockbuster movie.”

　　 Hearing this, Arthur nodded slightly. To be honest, I really want to make money, or those big popcorn commercial movies, the art category is really too small.

“Movies are something we cannot control. Movies are made by other people. We can only control how well the theater itself is liked by the audience. We can control the food and beverages we sell. We can control the team that serves the audience. This Is what we can do.”

　　 Hearing some insights from the young boss, Binns couldn’t help but his eyes lit up and smiled happily: “It’s true. People often ask us, ‘how far can you go?’

I can’t see the situation five years from now, but if you ask me to draw a map and mark any town that I think can open a movie theater, it should be everywhere. You need to open a movie theater at a reasonable price. Have the right opportunity to find the right building. This is a challenge-there is no definite town or location. “

“Hehe, ambition is not small.” Arthur smiled and glanced at Bins. After sighing, he nodded and said with a smile: “You can continue to implement according to your own plan, including the large signage of the movie theater, membership card, food menu and Popcorn boxes, as well as the Picturehouse website and digital applications. Some long-term signs, such as movie theater screen numbers, will remain unchanged until they need to be replaced.”

Hearing what the young boss said, Binz sighed in secret again. To be honest, she was really worried that the new boss would make drastic changes, which would not only cost manpower and material resources, but also weaken the value of the brand. Now I know everything. As usual, how could he not let out a sigh of relief.

“Take me to a film production company. I’m very interested in it!” After reading many beautiful essays, I am naturally familiar with the routines of dominating the film industry. It is nothing more than to continue to be a porter. For a film company, Arthur would naturally not waste resources, but to make it run.

　　 British independent films are the core force against Hollywood’s monopoly of the domestic film market. Its development is related to the overall situation of the British film industry. In recent years, the market share has been increasing in a spiral manner and the upward trend is obvious.

　　 Of course, the prosperity of British independent films is not accidental ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ The strong support of British ZF, the mission carried by the film, and the close relationship between the film industry and other industries constitute the internal motivation for the development.

　　 At the same time, British independent LI films are facing the complicated situation of American film box office competition. How to break through development bottlenecks such as narrow audience groups, digital technology challenges, lack of profitability and weak distribution and projection links are the real challenges facing British independent LI films

“Boss, as an important part of the British film industry, British independent film not only shoulders the responsibility of prospering the local British film market, but also undertakes the arduous mission of leading British films to internationalization. This is why film companies lose money, we The reason to keep it!”

On the way to the film company, Binns introduced to Arthur with some emotion, “According to the definition of the British Film Association, British independent film refers to the British film produced by independent production companies other than the six major production companies in the United States. , The six companies include Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Walt Disney, Universal, Sony and Warner Bros.

　　 British films can be divided into two parts: British independent LI films and co-production films invested and produced by major American film companies. This method of division implies the salient features and reality of the British film industry. Hey, it is ashamed and helpless to say it. The Americanization of British films and British films under the shadow of Hollywood have always had a sense of identity and inferiority complex. . . “

“Hollywood is rampant in the world, and it is not like the British one. The key is to see whether the local filmmakers want to do something. If they want to break into Hollywood with all their heart, then British movies will continue to be lost!” Arthur smiled lightly. Tell the truth.
