"Father, I heard that you took away all the working capital of the bar, right?" Cullen walked into Juan's study angrily. He pinched his waist and took a few steps back and forth. "Do you know that now? I can’t even spare a thousand dollars!”
Juan blinked and put down the book in his hand. This was his way of self-regulation. Whenever he needs to think quietly, he will open a book and after reading for a while, he will be able to calm down. He seemed to be reading, but he was actually thinking, and he thought this method was very useful and meaningful.
He took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put them in the glasses case. At his age, his eyesight had begun to decline, and he needed reading glasses to see clearly. His slow movements made Cullen have another attack. Cullen really couldn't stand some of Juan's strange habits. Sometimes the more anxious you are, the slower he will be, but when he becomes anxious, you can only speed up the pace.
"If you can't raise a thousand yuan, it means you can still raise a few hundred yuan. If I remember correctly, all the wine in the bar is brewed in our own workshop. You only need to sign your name to get it. Pick up the goods from the warehouse. As for other things like fruit and food, do you need a thousand yuan?" Juan was startled when he said this, "I forgot, it's the end of the month."
As the largest bar operator and alcoholic beverage provider in Ilian, Juan is also a very reputable businessman. His bar purchases never require direct payment of cash, and the accounts are settled at the end of every month. In fact, this is not because Juan deliberately pressed down the money to embarrass those businessmen. Almost all the big businessmen in the world have this habit. Their purpose of doing this is for "stability".
For example, the fruit merchant who provided fruit to Juan's bar suddenly quit, or was bought by someone, or due to various other circumstances, suddenly stopped providing fresh fruit to Juan. If there is no effective way to restrain him, then only Juan will lose. However, pressing down the payment for one month can avoid this situation to the greatest extent. If anyone wants to stop doing it, or temporarily provide goods due to other matters, he must imagine the month he was pressed by Juan. How can the payment be recovered
This is a kind of involuntary integrity. Unless the provider's reputation and status are equal to Juan's, this phenomenon will always exist.
One thousand yuan is definitely enough if it is just used to pay for fruits, but the problem is that the bar not only provides fruits and drinks, but also juices, seafood, beef and mutton, and various cooked vegetables, bread, and wheat kernels. These things add up to one thousand yuan. Blocks are simply not enough. When Cullen was about to pay the guys, he realized that the bar had no money. After he asked where the money was going, he came here.
He knew that Juan was working on some big plan recently, and he put all his energy into it, as if he was possessed. The money in the family has always been managed by Juan alone, and no one else knows the specific situation. But today, when Cullen came here, in addition to asking Juan for money to settle the payments, he also wanted to ask the family members Where has all the money gone
Only now did he realize the seriousness of what Juan had done recently. Even the money used to settle the bar was taken away. Whether the money was gone or what it was used for, he had to give an explanation.
Cullen felt that what he did was not wrong, and many people even thought that what he did was not wrong, but he never considered that the money belonged to Juan and Juan alone. This money doesn't belong to Cullen, anyone else, or anyone in this family. They don't even have a share! This money belongs to Juan himself. At least until he dies, only he has the right to control how and where the money is used, and no one else has the right to interfere.
In fact, many rich people are facing such a situation. They are very rich and will give their families enough pocket money every once in a while. They have never considered distributing the real "money" in their hands to these people. Only after they die will these property rights and powers be distributed to the majority of people fairly or unfairly according to the will.
Similarly, the family members of these rich people often have an unrealistic illusion. They feel that the money in the hands of the rich also belongs to them...
This is very troublesome, and this is also the trigger of conflicts within all families - uneven distribution of wealth.
Cullen's face had been very ugly since he entered the room. His voice was a little lower and changed a little, "They will come to me tomorrow and ask for their payment, and I can't even get out a thousand yuan. What do you think I should do?" ? Not giving it to them? Or paying off the debt with wine?”
Juan was also a little impatient. He was focused on the big thing of becoming a partner with the George family, and he no longer looked down on Ilian's small profits. In the past two days, he invited an expert who specializes in film-related work on Xie Lisi Street to come back and specifically inquire about the theater chain. The expert told him straightforwardly that as long as any theater chain can maintain an attendance rate of 30%, it will definitely make money. If it can maintain an attendance rate of 60%, it will become rich.
The box office share of Shining Star Empire is based on the time ladder sharing method. 20% of the total box office revenue in the first three weeks belongs to theaters, and 55% of the total box office revenue from the fourth to twelfth weeks belongs to theaters. Online, all box office revenue from screenings starting from the 13th week belongs to the theater. Except for a very small number of films with agreements, the screening rights of most films are permanent, which means that you can show them as long as you want.
A total of 37 movies were released last year. The highest-grossing movie grossed more than 4.7 million yuan from its release to the 12th week, of which more than 2.5 million yuan was the income of the producer. More than two million yuan is the income of the theater chain, and part of the income is counted as taxes and various expenses. There are more than 500 registered theaters across the country, and the average revenue of each theater from this movie is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.
When Juan heard this data, he almost gave up the business. Fortunately, he continued to listen patiently and the expert continued to analyze for him. A total of 37 movies were released last year, some of which were popular and some that were not popular. According to statistics, the total box office was 39.13 million. We roughly calculated the average release period of each cinema. The income is around 30,000 yuan.
That’s not a lot, either? It doesn't matter. In fact, the actual revenue of each theater is very different from this average. For example, the income of movie theaters in remote areas is lower than this number, but the income of movie theaters in some developed areas is much higher than this number.
Juan spent a little more money and obtained the box office calculations of a movie theater in a developed area. The minimum was more than 40,000 yuan, and the most was 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
If calculated in this way, he would try his best to build three to five high, medium and low-end movie theaters in the center of each city. He would have 150 to 200 movie theaters in his hands, and his annual income would be between two and three hundred. A huge one.
In addition, part of the theater's revenue comes from "unauthorized party screenings," which means revenue from screenings after the twelfth week. In some places, theaters have deliberately reduced the number of screenings and raised ticket prices, making it unaffordable for most people. After the screening period is over, they will launch various so-called preferential activities to attract moviegoers back to the cinema. The attendance rate may be lower than that of theaters with normal broadcasts, but their income is theirs.
Experts gave Juan a final figure. If he owned more than 200 movie theaters, his annual income would exceed 4 million!
When Juan heard this result, his heart was moved, he was really moved. He didn't need a figure like four million that made him tremble, even only two million would be enough. This means that he can make back his capital within three to five years, and then he will enter the stage of wealth explosion. In ten years, his total assets may reach 50 million or more.
This is not a fantasy number, because he is destined to be a partner of the George family. Even if he fails to become a partner, having such theater resources in his hands is enough to make his mouth water.
So much so that he no longer cares about his current business. He has had enough of this kind of business where he has saved more than 10 million yuan after working for most of his life!
Faced with the eldest son's question, Juan frowned and said, "I believe you have a way to solve this matter. This is why I arranged for you to be the manager. If you can't even solve such a small matter, what's wrong with you?" I think it’s better to forget about the actual delusion!”
Cullen didn't expect Juan to say such words. He was so angry that he laughed. He took out the key hanging on his waist and slammed it on the table, "Father, I have been in poor health recently. I can't bear the workload anymore, you'd better find someone you think is suitable to do it!" After saying that, he left Juan's study without looking back. He no longer cared about what would happen to Juan, he just wanted to leave now. Here, leave Ilian and pursue the life you hope and yearn for.
Juan watched Cullen leave calmly without saying anything to save him. He then called the bar and asked the bartender to arrange the next work and deal with those who came to ask for payment. Soon he began to think about how to quickly to complete the plan he had set for himself.
Simply enclosing land to build theaters is too slow, so acquisitions should be faster. Time is getting tighter and tighter. No one knows when the George family will ask them to sit at the negotiation table. If Dulin's progress exceeds his, he will feel very uncomfortable. Not only was it uncomfortable, but there was also the possibility of being kicked out, so he had to speed up.
After thinking for a while, he called the president of the Ilian Branch of the Imperial Bank of China. He wanted to treat him to a meal.
