I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 70 Ways to Break the Monopoly of Theater Chains

After listening to what Lu Chen said, the entire meeting room fell into deathly silence again.

What Lu Chen said is not unreasonable, but after all, it is a debt of 30 billion. Except for those big companies, who is willing to take the initiative to add a debt to themselves.

Once they bought Optoelectronics, the leisurely life of the entire Chenyin company was over, and they had to find a way to make money to fill the 30 billion hole.

Seeing that the people didn't speak, Lu Chen said again: "Actually, you don't have to worry that we don't have the 30 billion. Now Shiyin can earn tens of millions for a song. Even if it's a song, we can pay back in a few years." superior."

Cheng Ming said at this time: "It can't be calculated like this. After all, Optoelectronics Film and Television has always existed there. We bought it, and there are operating costs. There are so many people in the company who still need to pay salaries. The biggest difficulty is the interest on the debt."

Cheng Ming expressed his worries. What he worried about was not the 30 billion debts, but the interest on the 30 billion debts and the company's operating costs.

The operating cost is a small matter, but the debt interest is a large sum of money. The former chairman of Optoelectronics Film and Television has declared bankruptcy for other projects. The money from the leeks is no longer needed, but the country’s money must be repaid. The state does not allow Optoelectronics Film and Television to go bankrupt. Liquidation means to recover the 30 billion and the high interest.

Hearing Cheng Ming talk about interest, Lu Chen asked, "Don't you know?"

Cheng Ming asked with a puzzled face, "Know what?"

"The bank has already said that if Optoelectronics can repay the loan within six years, no interest will be charged. In other words, the 30 billion within six years will always be 30 billion without interest."

The country also knows that Optoelectronics Film and Television is half dead, and has no hope of the 30 billion interest at all. It is already very good to be able to get the loan back.

Cheng Ming continued: "That's what I said, but if I want to pay off 30 billion within six years, it may be a bit difficult..."

Originally, operating costs were nothing in front of debt interest, but now that there is no debt interest, the company's operating costs have to be considered. Six years is too short, and the company needs to continue to spend money to operate within these six years. , It is hard to say whether the money earned is superfluous.

This is a dangerous move. If this move is made wrong, it is likely to drag down the new company Chenyin.

Lu Chen continued: "I have considered all these things. In fact, the acquisition of Optoelectronics is only the first step of my plan, and the second step is the crucial one."

"If the second step is successful, not only can we break through the blockade of Shimei and Luying, but we may even be on an equal footing with them."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the people in the conference room were stunned again. What is the second plan that Lu Chen said?If it succeeds, it will be able to sit on an equal footing with the two major groups of Shimei Luying?

Shi Yin asked curiously: "Lu Chen, what is your second plan?"

Lu Chen replied, "I won't tell you this until Optoelectronics buys it."

Hearing this, Shi Yin said impatiently: "If you love to talk, don't talk, if you don't talk, you will fall down."

"I'm afraid that my plan will be leaked in advance." Lu Chen said.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, Shi Yin, as the company's second shareholder, do you have any comments?"

After all, Chenyin Company was founded by him and Shiyin together. If Chenyin wants to take over the photoelectric film and television, he has to ask Shiyin's consent.

Moreover, to repay the money in a short time, Shiyin needs to work hard. This matter is directly related to Shiyin, and Shiyin's consent must be sought no matter which aspect it is.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Shiyin pondered for a while, and then said, "Unless you tell me your second plan, I will not agree to acquire Optoelectronics."

"Although she doesn't understand business operations, she is still a shareholder of the company. Lu Chen didn't tell her anything, but wanted the company to bear the debt, and then dragged her to pay off the debt together. She is not so stupid."

Lu Chen glanced at the people in the conference room, and then said: "Cheng Ming, you go out first, I will chat with Shi Yin alone."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Ming and his management staff all left the conference room, leaving only Lu Chen and Shi Yin still in the conference room.

After seeing them leave, Shiyin asked: "Tell me, what is your second plan? Don't fool me. Although I don't understand business operations, I'm not so easy to fool!"

Lu Chen smiled and replied, "My second plan is to make big online movies and break the monopoly of theaters."

Lu Chen was thinking about the feasibility of this plan when he came to Huacheng. Now that the theaters monopolize the premiere of movies, when the box office is divided, the theaters have to share at least 40.00% of the box office, and some even reach 50.00%, nearly half of it. profit.

Lu Chen felt displeased with an institution like theater chain that was lying about distributing money, especially when some theater chains made false accounts when announcing, they said that the cost of the announcement was as much as it was.

Of course, Lu Chen has carefully analyzed the feasibility of big online movies, and also compared the world's entertainment industry with the earth.

On the earth, there are too many piracy, and it is easy to lose money in big online movies. In this world, the paid content is doing well, and the awareness of copyright protection is relatively strong. The key is that the audience has a strong sense of payment, and people know how to read novels. You need to pay, you know that you need to pay for listening to songs, and you also need to pay for watching movies and TV dramas. People know how capital flows, and they know that only with money can they have better content.

A single song can earn tens of millions in this world, which is unimaginable on earth. Of course, the premise is high-quality content.

Originally, Lu Chen planned to carry out his plan slowly, and wait until the time was ripe for him to make a big online movie, but Lu Ying's blockade directly drove them to a dead end.

In other words, for Chenyin, now is the best time to make big online movies.

Because Lu Ying and Shimei are addicted to their monopoly position, they have never engaged in big online movies. In addition, they can make money lying down, so there is no need to make big online movies.

When competitors are paralyzed, it is the right way to take the initiative to attack.

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Shi Yin's brain froze, her two eyes stared at Lu Chen, her face full of doubts.

"What is a big online movie?" Shi Yin asked.

Shi Yin had never heard of the term "big online movie" before, so he didn't know what Lu Chen meant.

"Uh... Simply put, it's moving the theaters online." Lu Chen replied.

Shi Yin said blankly, "I don't understand."

Hearing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to explain: "We used to go to the cinema to watch the premiere of a movie. After we make a big online movie, we can watch the premiere of the movie at home."
