Chapter 2582 How to Spend a Lot of Money

After the news spread that Kiwi Cinemas had acquired Aldern Cinemas in the UK and would merge it with View Cinemas to become the "Kiwi European Cinemas", film companies and stars all over the world were immediately shocked. Shocked.

Originally, before the acquisition of View Cinemas, Kiwi Cinemas was already the largest cinema chain in the world.

Because the Kiwi theater chain has more than 2,000 screens in China, and after adding 5,010 screens from AMC, the second largest theater chain in the United States, there are more than 7,000 screens, which is enough to stand out from the crowd.

Now they have not only acquired the second largest theater chain in Europe, View Cinemas, but also the largest theater chain in Europe, Aldern Cinemas, which has added 3,300 screens at once, and the total is more than 10,000 screens!

In the future, which film company's film, as long as it can impress the Kiwi theaters, will be screened on at least 10,000 screens. How much profit will this bring to the film?

In the past, the standard for American blockbusters was the starting price of more than 3,000 screens, and the maximum price was only more than 6,000, and the time for such a large-scale release was only about a week!

No matter how bad the movie is, as long as the production cost is not too exaggerated, as long as the Kiwi Cinemas show it for you for a week, then the cost will definitely be recovered.

Coupled with video tapes, peripheral copyrights, etc., profit is a breeze.

In this regard, people who are related or not have started to pay close attention to the Kiwi Film and Television Group, and even passed a lot of connections impatiently, and began to practice the Kiwi Fruit Film and Television Company.

Especially the company that has a movie to be released recently, regardless of the face of a Hollywood giant, directly called the people from Kiwifruit Film and Television, hoping to have a good talk with the person in charge of their theaters.

Of course, these people are all alienated, and if they really have a good relationship, there is no need to beat around the bush to find someone.

"Boom~boom~"

On the other end of the phone, Megan kissed several times and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Qi, I love you so much!"

Xiao Qi broke out in cold sweat when he heard it.

It's not that Megan isn't pretty. It's not the type that Xiao Qi likes, but because Megan is now interested in the Kiwi movie theater line.

You have to say that her brother David invested in the film. That can be discussed and discussed, how to maximize profits, but this girl only knows how to make literary films, she is not material for making money at all!

If those films of hers were shown in Kiwi Cinemas, the cost would probably not be recovered!

Cost is one of the reasons, and the more important reason is that if the Kiwi Cinemas always show movies that audiences don't like to watch. Over time, the audience's reputation for the Kiwi movie theater chain will become very bad, which is not good for a movie theater chain.

But Xiao Qi is really not good at rejecting Megan.

Because she has a good relationship with her two wives... No, the three wives, plus Du Feixing, have a good relationship.

In addition, "The King's Speech" is produced by Kiwi Film and Television Group, so Megan called Qiao Guoer from time to time. Her naturally bright and cheerful personality matched Qiao Guoer's temper, and as time went by. Although the two are not very close friends, they have a good relationship.

Xiao Qi looked at this girl's public relations ability, so it was impossible to say that Qiao Guoer would also be her friend.

you see. Megan has a good relationship with Xiao Qi's several wives, if she refuses her bluntly. It's uncertain how this girl will arrange Xiao Qi, maybe she will have to make something for Xiao Qi.

Besides, Xiao Qi himself has a good relationship with Megan. This girl is kind-hearted, willing to help people in need, and she is also very sunny, making her a good friend.

So Xiao Qi could only explain to her first: "Let's agree first that your films that have no commercial value at all can't be screened across the board. At most, you can choose 300 venues to show them, and in the long run, they can't exceed 100 screens. "

"Xiao Qi, why are you so stingy? No wonder people say you are a miser!" Megan immediately turned his face, "What do you mean has no commercial value? They don't understand! The audience still likes it very much! You give me 300 venues, up to 1,000 screens, and only 100 yuan for long-term broadcasting, are we still good friends? That’s how you support me? Don’t forget, I hope both of your wives have shares in the film industry!"

"My eldest lady, movie screening is a commercial product, you just say I'm useless!" Xiao Qi smiled wryly, "If you can't make money, the employees below will say it, and the higher-ups will laugh at us as stupid, Would you like to be laughed at?"

"I don't care about them!" Megan said angrily, "If it's a commercial film, I want at least 5,000 screens. If it's a general literary film, I want 2,000 screens! If it's a long-term play, 500 screens!"

"You still make commercial films?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.

"Asshole! I will also invest in interesting commercial films!" Megan scolded Xiao Qi and said, "You cunning businessman, tell me, are you satisfied with my request?"

"You should discuss this matter with Guoer yourself!" Xiao Qi pondered for a moment, and pushed her directly to Qiao Guoer, "I am only responsible for paying the money, as for how to operate, I should leave it to her to do it herself."

"Tch, I've been talking about it for a long time, and I found someone who can't make the decision!" Megan sighed, and hung up the phone neatly.

This chick has such a personality!

Xiao Qi shook his head with a smile, put down his phone, and got busy with his work again.

Yesterday Xiao Qi had already returned to Rongcheng, and told his father about the listing of Meitu Sharing. Xiao Xu was still very satisfied with his son's actions.

Although Xiao Qi suffers a little, overall the benefits to several aspects are not small.

The capital has given Hong Kong a face, and Hong Kong has also gained reassurance. Fairy Company has once again created an investment myth, and outsiders don't know how envious they are.

Xiao Qi has an extra 5 billion US dollars in his hand, but to him, this small amount of money is not worth a surprise.

It is easy to be scolded for saying this, but the fact is that, excluding the bank deposit, the cash flow held by Xiao Qi in various currencies exceeds 280 billion U.S. dollars.

Although Apple claimed to have a cash flow of about 130 billion US dollars at the end of 2013, which shocked the world, the cash flow in Xiao Qi's hands has already far exceeded them.

Moreover, Xiao Qi's cash flow is not like Apple's, which pulls in the tens of billions of dollars in revenue for the current quarter to make up for it, but it actually belongs to Xiao Qi's net profit.

Xiao Qi knew that the RMB would appreciate, even with his efforts, the appreciation of the RMB would be volatile, but very slow, far below the high face value of his previous life.

Besides, Huaguo's foreign exchange control is still very strict. Banks welcome you to exchange the US dollars you earn into RMB, but if you want to exchange RMB into US dollars, it is a bit difficult.

Especially Xiao Qi's currency exchange is tens of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars, and the bank will definitely not agree.

Therefore, Xiao Qi naturally wanted to make some currency investments.

For example, in Japan, Xiao Qi knew that their exchange rate would rise sharply for a period of time in the past two years, and then depreciate rapidly. Therefore, Xiao Qi invested 120 billion U.S. dollars in exchange for Japanese yen, and deposited them in major banks in Japan. No need.

Then Citibank Xiao Qi also has 60 billion US dollars in cash, which is going to be used in various family properties, especially the Xiao family property that is not yet profitable and the private property of his wives.

In the end, the remaining 100 billion US dollars, Xiao Qi was very sensible and converted into RMB, which was stored in the Fairy Bank.

This satisfied the group of elders in the bank supervision, Xiao Qi is quite sensible, he knows how to earn foreign exchange for the country, and he also knows how to behave.

For them, the more dollars they have in hand, the better, so that they can buy more products, raw materials, etc. in trading activities.

Xiao Qi holds the cash flow in RMB and is not involved in the daily operation of Fairy Company.

The domestic procurement of parts and components of Xiaoyao and Fairy Company, the distribution of workers' salaries and benefits, the construction of roads for disaster areas, ecological agricultural bases, etc., are all paid in RMB, but the money is all from the various profits of Fairy Company The expenditure in the income cannot be spent.

The teenager took these RMB, which was used to buy land and build warehouses for Xiaoyao Logistics.

Therefore, if you count carefully, the cash flow in Xiao Qi's hands is too much, a mere 5 billion U.S. dollars, which is only 35 billion yuan after conversion, which is nothing at all.

But this is not to say that Xiao Qi has nowhere to spend his money.

After the place was vacant, Xiao Qi began to think about what he had thought before, to start agricultural construction in Southeast Asia, that is, neighboring countries of China such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos.

To be honest, if things like rice and wheat want to completely engage in ecological agriculture, it is really too difficult in terms of current agricultural technology.

This is what Europe does, so they rely on imports for a large amount of food.

So Xiao Qi plans to use these countries to develop a new type of agriculture, which is to learn from Japan, which can not only ensure the output of rice, but also ensure the quality of rice.

Japan has very little arable land, but basically they can guarantee 70% self-sufficiency in rice for their 150 million people, and the quality of rice is still very high, which is something worth learning.

Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos have much more arable land than Japan, and almost all of them are second or third crops a year, so the output is higher.

With the efforts of Japanese experts, with the study of Huaguo experts, and Xiao Qi will poach a large number of agricultural experts from Europe to cooperate, several countries will become the hometown of rice in Huaguo, which is just around the corner! (to be continued ~^~)
