During Yin Jun's absence in Xiangjiang, Le Yiling did a lot of things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, the first one is the discussion of "whether the price of Kowloon buses should be raised" that has been raging since last year.

Kowloon Motor Bus had already applied to the government for a price adjustment for Kowloon Bus in March, due to the significant increase in operating costs, the continuous need to develop routes, and so on.

For this reason, many of Yin Jun's enemies, such as those newspapers, frantically attacked Yin Jun, saying that he had tied the Kowloon Bus to his real estate chariot and wanted to rely on the Kowloon Bus to prosper his real estate business.

But no matter what others say, the benefits of the development of these bus routes to the people are obvious.

Since it is a happy thing to see, and it has promoted the flow of people in Xiangjiang and made the economy more vibrant, the government will naturally not regard it as invisible.

At the end of June, the Chief Secretary finally gave his approval, rejecting the application of the Kowloon Motor Bus to increase the ticket price by 30%, but allowing the Kowloon Motor Bus to increase by no more than 20%.

Sister Le is also a man of action, and on the day she got the approval, she announced that the price of Kowloon Bus would officially increase on July 1, with a price increase of 20%.

All right.

Not to mention how many people scolded Le Yiling for thinking about money and going crazy.

But the current ticket is actually not expensive, the nearest one or two, the farthest one is only 2 yuan, but this is already running from Tin Shui Wai to the Central subway station, almost crossing the entire north-south line of the Xiangjiang River.

Plus 20%, that is, a few cents and a few millimeters, the impact on the people of Xiangjiang is actually not great.

In the past four or five years, the average monthly income of Xiangjiang people has doubled, and the rest of the cost of living is actually relatively low, except for the rapid increase in housing prices.

The rapid rise in wages is one of the reasons why the government has agreed to increase the price of the Kowloon Bus Corporation.

Cursing and shouting people actually have no way, now the subway has only one line, most of the local traffic, you have to rely on the bus to achieve, don't take the bus to do a taxi?

So scolding and scolding, everyone can only pinch their noses and admit it.

If they want to know that after January next year, Leyiling is ready to raise prices again, and they don't know how to scold and protest.

Of course, only Yin Jun knows that Le Yiling's second proposal to raise prices is just a gimmick, she just wants the government to notice that the rise in various costs, in fact, the price increase of 20% is still in the loss, and Kowloon Bus wants to achieve more bus networks, it must increase revenue again.

Le Yiling also has careful thoughts.

I applied this year, and you rejected it for me, and I will apply again next year, so you can't say no, right?

After all, the input and output are visible to everyone, and it is unreasonable to increase income without increasing ticket prices.

The government also has comprehensive considerations, so naturally it will not reject it again and again, and will more or less agree to increase it.

The previous four new routes, Kowloon Bus borrowed a total of 4.4 billion, but due to the increase in the population of Hong Kong, the increase in the flow of people, and the continuous development of bus routes, after accurate calculations, this year Kowloon Bus can still achieve a profit of 30 million to 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with previous years, it is much less, but after the loan is paid off, it will not be a business of tens of millions a year, at least three or five billion.

However, Kowloon Bus will not stop expanding the route, just a few days, the third line from Tin Shui Wai - Tin Shui Wai to Tiu Keng Leng will also be opened, and the fourth route around the New Territories should be opened in December.

These two lines are still adopting a large-scale, long-distance operation model, with a total loan of 1.7 billion.

At first glance, they look much longer than the previous lines, but the total price is a lot cheaper.

The reason is that their routes are all in the countryside of Xiangjiang now, and the land price here is very low, compared to the land price in places like Yau Tsim Mong and Central, it is so cheap that I don't know where it is.

Yes.

So far, Kowloon Motor Bus has borrowed a total of HK$6.1 billion for six routes, half of which has been used to purchase land.

Vehicle transfer stations, parking points, repair shops, these are all things that need to have a lot of open space.

Thousands of large, medium and small buses are not always on the road, and they need to stop for rest and maintenance at any time.

Some newspapers have pointed out that the plot of land purchased by Kowloon Bus for transit maintenance is a bit large and wasteful, and many people do not care about this.

But they didn't know that this happened to be what Yin Jun did on purpose.

Later, in October this year, in the previous life, Kowloon Bus was forcibly eaten by Sun Hung Kai, and then they played new tricks.

Although the share price of Kowloon Bus is only three or four billion, they have a large amount of cheap land in many parts of Xiangjiang, that is, transfer stations, parking points, repair shops, etc.

These lands in Xiangjiang, even if they are industrial in nature, can be converted to other uses as long as you pay the compensation fee for the land price for reuse.

Sun Hung Kai has turned all the land of the Kowloon Bus, which is now in the center of the city, into real estate projects, and has made a lot of money! It is much more cost-effective than buying land alone for development!

Lei Juekun saw them doing this, he was so sorry that his intestines were blue, he didn't think of doing this before, and as a result, so much land was picked up by Sun Hung Kai in vain.

Yin Jun is even smarter than Sun Hung Kai.

Sun Hung Kai only developed these lands into real estate in 82 and 83, but they did not think about adding land to the Kowloon Bus Corporation.

Yin Jun thought that in addition to the various stations and repair shops before, so much land he now occupies in the urban area can have 100,000 square feet in a car repair and maintenance shop, and a transfer station can also have more than 50,000 square feet...... The total land area occupied by Kowloon Motor Bus exceeds 8 million square feet.

Although it costs a lot of money, because Kowloon Bus is a public utility enterprise, the government still generously granted it to them, and the price is not too expensive - if you change to a real estate businessman, you will not sell it at all! If you want to buy it, just bid for me!

These lands have been purchased since 1979, and they are a bit expensive now, but they are nothing compared to the sky-high prices of the land auctioned by the government in the future.

When the real estate peak period after 85 years, a piece of land changes hands ten times the price, and some people will be willing to buy it!

Not to mention 1985, even the year after tomorrow, if you sell it, two or three times the profit can be expected.

When the time comes, Yin Jun asked Kowloon Bus to set up a special department and let them develop it together with Kirin Construction, with profits of at least one or two hundred billion.

……

Since "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in North America on June 12, the box office has been rising.

It surpassed $15.7 million in its opening weekend, setting the fifth-highest premiere in U.S. history.

In the second week, many theaters joined in, so the ultra-high film schedule and word-of-mouth publicity made "Raiders of the Lost Ark" hit a staggering $55.8 million the next week, second only to the second-week box office performance of "Jaws", ranking second best in American history.

The number of films scheduled in the third week will be reduced, although it is not as direct as in the previous life, the number of screens is reduced by more than 30%, but it is also reduced by 15%, and finally won the box office of 48.5 million US dollars.

In just three weeks, the box office is the champion who directly dominates the North American weekly box office, and it is also the first time this year that it has won three consecutive championships.

The North American box office reached $120 million in three weeks after its release, and according to this momentum, it will definitely exceed $200 million after its full release in North America two months later, and film critics and market experts estimate that it should reach about $250 million.

If the box office in North America can break 200 million, then it must be a very good movie, and the global distribution will start one after another.

At the end of June, the theatrical release in Europe and South America was negotiated, and in Asia, Kirin Culture naturally took on the task of general distribution.

Le Yiling is worthy of being a strong woman.

discussed with Lucas, and after getting the distribution rights, he invited Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai to dinner as soon as possible.

With the lead of the movie "Police Detective School", the relationship between the two has eased a lot compared to before.

After a meal, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest jointly announced that they will officially release the Hollywood super blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on July 18, and the number of theaters will exceed 40 again.

Zou Wenhuai himself has a part of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", in order to make "Raiders of the Lost Ark" make more money, he not only hopes that Shaw Brothers will join in, but there is no problem for Princess Jin to join in.

The distribution rights in Japan were handed over to the Daiei Cinema Line of Tokuma Bookstore, and the Korean Cinema Chain, which foreigners could not interfere with, and only handed it over to the cinema chains that have always cooperated with Xiangjiang Films.

The distribution rights in Nanyang are also jointly handled by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

According to Le Yiling's question about how much Zou Wenhuai's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can reach at the box office in Asia, Zou Wenhuai gave a conservative estimate.

It can probably reach 100 million Hong Kong dollars, I'm afraid it's about the same.

After all, this is a Hollywood movie, although it can be called a blockbuster, but the cultural acceptance is different, and it can have a total box office of 100 million, which is already a very good symbol.

This year, if you want to look at the box office, you still have to look at North America!

Le Yiling didn't care.

No matter how good "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is, it is someone else's copyright.

She just went through the joint cinema chain of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and wanted to learn from Lei Shidong and create a relatively fixed joint cinema chain in all Asia.

When "Police Detective School" is released, it will be able to show its power!
