Chapter 2077 Get Through the Network

In Australia, Kylin Communications acquired their OPTUS Communications Company for US$23 million as early as October last year.

OPTUS has not yet developed into Australia's No. 1 communication company, but they have established a lot of business networks, and their main telephone business accounts for one-third of Australia's users.

Although Australia only has a population of more than 30 million, and one-third of users are less than 4 million, if the population is larger, the price will not be as low as 23 million US dollars.

What's more, Yin Jun bought this company not to make money in fixed lines, but for the emerging mobile phone business.

From the moment it bought the company, it signed a mobile network agreement with Kylin Communications in Xiangjiang.

The two companies are cooperating, on the one hand to provide technology and raw materials, and to build networks; on the other hand, to provide sites and settle various audit and supervision, etc., to jointly build Australia's mobile phone network.

For this, the Australians are still very welcome.

They have seen the excitement of mobile phones in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong and other places, and they have seen the changes in communication methods and the changes in people's lives.

Australians who have always been accustomed to enjoy themselves, of course, also hope that they can use their mobile phones smartly.

Therefore, they have given the green light to the construction of mobile phone networks.

It's just that the company that has changed the name of OPTUS to Kylin Communications, the first step of mobile phone network construction is not in the southeast of Sydney, but in Western Australia in the west.

This makes everyone in Western Australia satisfied.

They feel that the Kirin Group has not forgotten its roots, and whenever something good happens, it will think of its old friends, and the priority is Western Australia.

Don't underestimate this sequence.

Western Australia has always been looked down upon by the east. Except for mineral resources, people in Sydney and other places think that they have no advantages at all, and they regard them as a bunch of rough and old-fashioned.

This makes Western Australia not very satisfied, but there is no way to refute the fact that the economy is not as good as that in the southeast.

Now Kirin Group has not only established the Wankang Company here, which has taken over the basic municipal services of the entire Western Australia state, but has also detected two super large iron mines, which are ready to be mass-produced and transported immediately.

From the perspective of Western Australia, this practice of Kirin Mining Company can not only greatly increase their income, but also benefit the interests of many people. This is actually a good thing.

That is to say, Kirin Mining Company recruited too many Chinese people, which made them feel a little inappropriate.

But generally speaking, the cooperation between the two parties is still very active and full of goodwill.

Kirin Group attaches great importance to Western Australia, and laid the first mobile phone base station in Western Australia. In the eyes of countless Western Australians, this is what friends do.

As a result, Kirin Group has become more popular in Western Australia.

When the mobile communication service was officially launched in Western Australia in October, more than 300,000 people applied and paid for the package.

This number is not much different from the entire Xiangjiang mobile phone users.

You know, Xiangjiang's mobile phone business has started three years ago, and now it has accumulated to 300,000, and Western Australia has this figure from the beginning! ?

And the total number of residents in Western Australia is less than 3 million!

Xiangjiang has nearly 7 million people! !

But things can't be looked at in such a simple way, because first, when Xiangjiang started to do mobile phone business, it was the first city in the world, and of course the public's acceptance was not high.

Now the mobile phone business has been developed for 3 years, Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea and the United States have all used it one after another. People in Western Australia have seen the benefits of mobile phones changing their lives. Of course, more people can accept.

The second point is that with the development of various technologies and the continuous updating of various equipment, the cost of mobile phone business has gradually decreased.

Now Xiangjiang’s tariffs have dropped a lot. People in Western Australia earn Australian dollars, and the people are generally rich, so the pressure is even less.

Kylin Communications' charges in Western Australia are also conscientious, and they didn't increase the charges just because they are foreigners.

In fact, Yin Jun wants to do this, but considering that Australia is the future mineral resource base of Kirin Group, it is not easy to do things so absolutely.

As a result, Kylin Communications has been praised by everyone, and they feel that they are very conscientious.

Sending workers to work in a foreign country does not allow a lot of people to do work at the same time, which is not conducive to the use of labor efficiency.

So in July, when the commissioning started in Western Australia, the workers arrived in Sydney to build the communication base, and it is expected that the work around Greater Sydney will be completed in December.

As for the opening of Melbourne and other major residential areas in Australia, I am afraid it will have to wait until the end of next year.

As another base of Kylin Communications, even if they only have more than 30 million people, early investment is necessary.

However, seeing the expenses and income here, Yin Jun is still a little helpless.

Now Xiangjiang has gradually entered the profit period. With so many years of hard work, the initial cost has been fully recovered.

However, the area of ​​Western Australia is tens of thousands of times that of Xiangjiang. Even if many places are uninhabited, the area laid by Kylin Communications will exceed 1 million square kilometers.

Under this area, it is estimated that there are only about 2 million users. The investment in infrastructure construction is really outrageous.

It is estimated that in the 85th fiscal year, the Australian branch of Kirin Communications will have a loss of more than 500 million US dollars.

Adding up next year and the year after next, there will be another loss of 500 million US dollars.

At least until 5 years later, when the number of mobile phone users exceeds 5 million, the loss can be slowly stopped.

After careful calculation, the overall investment of Kirin Group in Australia must be at least 5 billion US dollars.

Japan is constantly making money, but in Australia, if you want to start making money, you may have to wait.

But Yin Jun didn't really care much.

The interests of Western Australia will last for 50 years or even longer in the future.

No matter what kind of online e-commerce you develop in the future, the most important mineral resources are still the foundation of a company and can never be replaced.

As long as it has these mineral resources, no matter how poor the Qilin Group is, it is possible to turn around.

Putting aside his business affairs, Yin Jun looked at other reports from the company.

While "Forrest Gump" continued to dominate the North American mainstream film market, there was actually a special film that was also capturing territory for the Kirin Group.

This is Yu Rentai's second work in Hollywood - "Scream".

"Scream" is still a horror film produced at a low cost. Compared with "The Ghost Bride" which pays more attention to the atmosphere, it is very bloody and terrifying.

But the horror of "Scream" is different from the high IQ and suspenseful atmosphere of "Chain Saw".

"Scream" attracts the audience with very bloody and intuitive killings, as well as the constant sense of terror.

It belongs to the kind of very simple, but hearty authentic horror film.

The story of this horrific killer that happened in a small town still belongs to the series of serial killers, the kind of horror that everyone may be killed in the next step, and the extremely bloody scenes, it is definitely for lovers of heavy-duty horror movies favorite.

As a result, although "Forrest Gump" fully dominates the film market, people who love horror films have firmly controlled less than 800 movie theaters and 1,200 screens.

Since its release for three weeks, "Scream" has maintained an average attendance rate of more than 50% for each of the 1,500 screens with its very good reputation and authentic taste. This is a very powerful situation. up.

Even "Forrest Gump" did not maintain a 50% attendance rate in its third week of release.

Of course, this has something to do with the continuous expansion of the release scale of "Forrest Gump", which eventually reached more than 3,000 screens for joint release.

This year's "Scream" has good luck again. The production of "Chain Saw" has been suspended for a year, which can be regarded as preventing the audience from feeling tired from watching the movie.

Last year's brilliant "Ghost Baby Bride" was directed by Yu Rentai himself, so there is no sequel this year.

"Scream", which has no strong opponents, also won an astonishing box office of 100 million US dollars in the first three weeks.

If including Europe, South America, Australia, Japan and South Korea, the total box office reached 180 million US dollars.

Several magazines in North America predict that the overall box office will reach about 250 million US dollars.

But as we all know, the bulk of the money for horror films lies in the copyrights of television and videotapes.

Horror movie lovers have a hobby of collecting classic horror movies.

It is conservatively estimated that such a popular horror film can bring United Artists a net profit of 20 million US dollars.

Based on the fact that the production cost of "Scream" is only 20 million US dollars, United Artists Films' another classic that reaps big benefits at a small cost has just appeared!

Yu Rentai's director talent has also been proved again.

He is now in Hollywood, and he has become a major Hong Kong director who can be compared with Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi.

It's just that in terms of qualifications and the breadth of making movies, he is still a bit worse than the latter two.

Many film companies, especially those small and medium-sized film companies, actively began to recruit Yu Rentai.

Although "Scream" and "Ghost Bride" are both written by Yin Jun, it's not a problem for Yu Rentai to make some follow-up movies, even if he doesn't have a good script!

Who doesn't like movies that are small and big?

But Yu Rentai resolutely refused.

It's not that the Qilin Group is restricting him. Even Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi have gone out to direct two or three movies. Of course, Yu Rentai has no problem.

It's just that he still has a third movie to make, so he turned it down first.

Yin Jun is very satisfied with his attitude.

After all, they are all from Huaguo, and they know what is long-term benefit and what is short-term petty profit!
