"You mean, let me buy some theaters?"

When Jo Ann said the idea, Kim Hyun Tae was stunned for a moment.

Seriously, he hadn't thought about it at all, after all, buying a theater chain is troublesome and expensive, and where is it as simple as just making an animated movie.

Jo Ann nodded, her expression becoming serious.

Little Coco, who was mischievous behind her back, saw that she and her father were talking about business again, so she was very obedient and stopped making trouble, but ran to the side to play with the dogs.

"Yes, we will acquire and operate our own cinema chains, so that we don't have to look at the faces of those cinema owners, and the most important thing is that we will have a greater initiative. ”

Although she didn't want to tell Kim Hyun-tae something annoying, Joan saw that her little boss didn't understand anything, so she felt that it was the most correct thing to talk to him.

After all, she must make Kim Hyun-tae understand how passive she will become in the future without the cinema chain in her own hands.

What's more, Joan knows that Kim Hyun Tae now has enough cash on hand to support her in this plan.

For someone like Joan, she knows all too well what money is.

The money in the bank is nothing more than useless waste paper, and it is only useful if you use it up and buy something that will allow you to gain more power.

And the acquisition of some theaters is the first step.

Of course, Joan's idea was mentioned to Anne, who was waiting to give birth in New York, and was definitely supported by Anne.

It is precisely because of Anne's support that she will implement this plan.

"My little boss, obviously you still don't know how passive you will be in the competition in the future if you don't master the hospitalization line. You must know that if you don't make a work, it will definitely be released.

Every year, there are at least tens of thousands of works in Hollywood, which are buried because they cannot be released. You obviously don't know about that, right? ”

In the face of Qiao An's words, Kim Hyun-tae really couldn't say a word, because she was right, and she really didn't know these things.

"Why is this happening?"

Kim Hyun-tae was not ashamed to ask, since he didn't understand what was in it, then humbly asked, he didn't feel anything shameful.

Where Joan sat down, looked at Kim Hyun Tae and said: "It's very simple, more than 60% of the theater chains in the United States are basically in the hands of major Hollywood film and television companies. Only forty percent of the cinema chain is not implicated with them

However, even if they are not implicated, these forty percent of the theater chains still have to act according to the faces of these film and television companies, so once these large film and television companies join forces to accumulate a company, it will be difficult for this company to survive in the film and television industry.

You don't need too many means, as long as the theater doesn't schedule films for you, it's simple, isn't it. ”

After listening to Jo An's words, Kim Hyun Tae secretly pondered in his heart, and he found that what Joan said was really such a truth.

Imagine that you have invested millions or even tens of millions to shoot a film. But I found that there was no way to take it out and broadcast it in theaters after filming, which is equivalent to saying that the money invested was completely wasted.

Just this is enough to make many people destitute and quit Hollywood.

Why are Hollywood's major film and television companies standing? Behind this, how many small companies have they squeezed out to have such a status today.

You know, Hollywood's cake is so big, one more person will get an extra piece out.

It would be nice if you didn't have to divide it.

Such thoughts. There will be people, let alone the capitalists.

Kim Hyun-tae isn't stupid, he just doesn't understand the truth. But listen to Jo Ann say this. How could he not understand?

"You're saying they're going to squeeze me out in the future?"

Kim Hyun-tae asked uncertainly.

Faced with Kim Hyun-tae's uncertain inquiry, Joan gave a very positive answer: "It will definitely be done, please don't doubt it." The capitalists in the United States are all virtuous, otherwise they would not have made so much money. ”

Well, it seems that I am still too simple, and I don't know a lot of things.

Kim Hyun-tae shook his head with a wry smile, and at the same time secretly laughed at himself in his heart.

"Little boss, you don't have to worry so much, in fact, with your current funds, it is still easy to solve this problem, as long as you acquire a theater chain. With your own theater chain, it's not so easy for those guys to squeeze you out. ”

The solution proposed by Joan is simple, or to buy a theater chain of her own.

Kim Hyun-tae looked at Jo Ann and said to her, "Who is so stupid that they would sell their own theater chain." Even if it is sold, those film and television companies will be involved, how can it be cheaper for me. ”

I can hear that his little boss has entered the state, and he can already take many things into account.

Jo Ann was relieved about this.

However, it seems that his own small boss is a little pessimistic about this, which is not a good phenomenon.

While relieved by Kim Hyun-tae's reaction, Joan felt that Kim Hyun-tae was too pessimistic.

"I got the exact news that there is a small cinema chain to be sold, and the operator of this cinema chain has recently lost money in stock speculation and owes the bank a large amount of money to repay the loan, so the bank decided to put the cinema chain he runs up for auction. ”

Joan told Kim Hyun-tae about this at this time.

"Oh, and this kind of good thing? How many theaters does he run in total?"

Hearing Qiao An say this, Kim Hyun Tae was really interested.

You know, he can now have more than $100 billion in cash on hand and take out some to buy a theater chain, which is really not difficult for him.

Besides, what Qiao An said is already very clear, how can he not know how passive he will be in the future without the theater in his hands.

As far as the animation production company is concerned, it is obviously a constant cash cow when it is run well, so there is no reason for Kim Hyun Tae to give it up, unless he is an idiot.

"There are a total of 3,000 theaters, and these theaters are all built in large cities, not the kind of theaters in small second- and third-tier cities, and the passenger flow is very guaranteed. ”

Not!

If that's what Joan said, then this is really a good opportunity.

Kim Hyun-tae is not stupid, and immediately understands what a rare opportunity this is.

3000 cinemas. That's not too small.

In this time and space, there are only 120,000 theaters in the entire United States.

Then there are only 3,000 theaters in this theater chain, which is only 1/40 of the total, and even less than 10% of the total.

But even so, as long as you master this theater line, you can also make yourself invincible, and you don't have to worry about being squeezed out by those large film and television companies in the future, right?

For this, after being reminded by Jo An, Kim Hyun Tae was already able to think of it.

"What is the auction price, and how many competitors will there be?"

Kim Hyun-tae came back to his senses and asked Jo Ann.

Joan replied: "The bank is worth 3.2 billion. As far as I know, all major Hollywood film and television companies are interested in this cinema chain. However, as long as the boss is willing to come up with a large sum of money, it should not be a problem to acquire this cinema chain. ”

Because he knows how much money his little boss has now, Qiao An thinks that there is still a great possibility of success in acquiring this theater chain.

"How much money do you expect me to spend to get this theater?"

As soon as Joan's voice fell, Kim Hyun-tae continued to ask.

"$8 billion, after all, there are too many competitors. Joan thought for a moment. I gave a self-estimation of the cost.

$8 billion?

Buying a small cinema chain with 3,000 theaters, Kim Hyun Tae began to weigh it in his heart, and soon he made a decision.

Even if it is a small theater chain, Kim Hyun-tae feels that it will be acquired. It's still necessary.

After all, he didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for the future.

Besides, he's not short of money right now, so why don't he think about it?

"Okay, no problem, I'll pay for it. When did the banks start this?"

Kim Hyun-tae who has a decision. Ask JoAnn when the auction will start.

Joan replied, "The auction hosted by the Wheatstone Bank will be at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow at the Beverly Hills Hotel." ”

The day after tomorrow is Thursday. There are still classes at the academy, so it's impossible for me to take a leave of absence.

After thinking about it, Kim Hyun Tae said to Qiao An: "Then leave this matter to you, I will have to attend classes the day after tomorrow." ”

Qiao An nodded when she heard this: "Don't worry, I will definitely take down this theater." ”

Ha!

The auction hosted by Wheatstone Bank, can Kim Hyun-tae fail if he wants to win this theater chain.

Joan, who knows what is going on here, thinks it's simply impossible.

That's why Joan answered so confidently.

"By the way, I've heard that many theater owners have lost money in the stock market. Therefore, I think it is necessary for you to prepare some cash, boss, because in the future, those guys who have lost money in the stock market will have to take out the theater chain they run to auction off their debts. ”

In the end, Jo Ann told Kim Hyun Tae another piece of gossip.

But in fact, these messages were told by Anne to Joan, and then asked her to remind Kim Hyun-tae to pay attention.

After all, some of the theater owners who entered the stock market borrowed money from Wheatstone Bank. That's why Anne knows so much about their financial situation.

Especially when Anne was 'black-hearted' when the other party lost money, she began to force the other party to repay the debt.

And Anne did it, all for Kim Hyun Tae.

"Why, isn't the stock market very good now? I remember that the Internet concept stocks are not hot and hot now, why are these people losing money?"

Kim Hyun-tae nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to this aspect of the situation, and at the same time asked about this aspect very curiously.

Qiao An pouted: "There are too many bubbles in network concept stocks, and they have fallen sharply in recent times, and many network technology-related stocks have fallen more than 20 times, so many people have lost a lot." ”

After saying that, Joan added: "I also lost a lot of money, and like those fools, I am also a victim." ”

Ha!

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ann also bought network technology concept stocks.

Looking at Jo An's sullen face, Kim Hyun Tae suddenly felt that she was very cute.

Well, lovely lace edges.

Joan looked up at Jin Xiantai: "Boss, if QQ is listed in the future, you will definitely subscribe to some instant messaging stocks for me, I am very optimistic." ”

Burst!

Kim Hyun Tae couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to Joan with a funny face: "I don't have this plan, so you must be disappointed." But I can give you a salary increase, which can be regarded as making up for your losses. ”

Qiao An looked disappointed when she heard this, frowning and frowning.

"Oh, how can you pick up girls when you have no money, girls are too realistic now. ”

This lace edge!

Kim Hyun-tae listened to Jo An's words, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Are you good at picking up girls?"

"It's just spending money, as long as there is money, there are girls, and there are no girls without money. ”

Joan sat there dejectedly and began to talk to Kim Hyun Tae about the issue of pickling girls.

The scene looked a little weird for a while.

If two men talk about it, it's normal.

But the problem is now talking to Kim Hyun-tae about this. It's a woman, which is a little weird.

"Hey, I said you're not looking for a serious person, are you? Could it be that you're looking for a street girl?"

Although Kim Hyun-tae felt that it was not good to talk to Joan about this topic, he still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.

Joan squinted at Kim Hyun Tae: "Is my taste so low? I can't understand a man like you, is it really difficult for a woman like me to pick up a girl without money." After all, my sexual orientation is different from the average person, so I must have a good economic foundation. ”

"And what kind of girl do you like?"

Kim Hyun-tae's gossip soul burns.

After thinking about it, Joan replied, "Be in good shape, a little domineering." This is the type of girl I want to be, but there are still a few such girls, and recently I met a fitness trainer who is a German girl. It's not too old, only 19 years old, and the figure is really nothing. ”

When talking about the fitness trainer she met recently, Joan's face lit up, and now she looks no different from a lewd man. The difference is that she's just a woman.

"It's just that this girl is too much of a money-worshipper, which makes me a little unbearable, if I don't meet some of her material needs. She doesn't give me bed at night, which bothers me. ”

Hahahaha!

I'm laughing at me, Joan, you're so hilarious.

Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Joan looks no different from a big man, although she is very beautiful and looks petite and lovely.

But such a woman is a lace edge, and is just as distressed by women as men.

Looking at Jo Ann in front of him, Kim Hyun Tae really felt funny.

Of course, he didn't mean to look down on Joan in the slightest, after all, he respected his personal sexual orientation.

"I'm weird, when you're with that girl, who's T and who's O?"

Under Joan's gaze, Kim Hyun Tae held back a smile, but still asked a very gossipy question.

Joan raised her right thumb and touched the tip of her index finger.

Kim Hyun-tae understood, daring to love Joan is still an 'O'.

"I feel like I'm like a useless woman with a little white face, and it bothers me so much. ”

Putting down her right hand, Joan said one more word.

Ouch!

Hahaha!

Joan, don't be so funny, okay.

Kim Hyun Tae was lying on the lawn with his stomach in his hands, and he really burst into laughter.

Looking at Kim Hyun-tae, who was rolling with laughter, Joan rolled her eyes, she didn't know what was funny about her affairs.

After a while, Kim Hyun Tae held back a smile and sat up straight again.

"You've always been like that?"

Jo Ann nodded, her face a little lonely.

"Yes, that's how I've been with girls since junior high school, because I found that if I didn't have money, I couldn't find girls who wanted to be with me. ”

Kim Hyun Tae couldn't laugh anymore, he suddenly felt that Joan was actually quite pitiful.

It's just sad that a woman like her has to rely on money to find her other half.

Even Kim Hyun Tae can imagine that a few of the girls she is looking for are genuinely with her.

I don't know, I just use her as an ATM.

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun Tae felt that Joan was a little pitiful, even a little pathetic.

"I think you're wrong to think like this, you should use your heart to find your other half, instead of putting your hope on money. In fact, you can try it and find a female companion without money. ”

At this time, Kim Hyun-tae also gave Joan a piece of advice.

Qiao An looked at Kim Hyun Tae seriously, and Qiao An saw sincerity in his eyes, without a trace of artificiality, so he understood that this was really for his own good, so he would make such a suggestion, and he didn't mean to look down on himself at all.

You must know that Joan has always had low self-esteem because of her sexual orientation.

Therefore, for the suggestion of his own little boss, this made Qiao An very moved, and at the same time, he also felt a little warm.

"Forget it, I think it's easier to use money, at least to get those girls into the critical steps quickly. ”

My heart was warm, but I said something that made Kim Hyun Tae choke.

Hey, you little lace edge, you don't understand.

Kim Hyun-tae, who was choked, complained in his heart.

looked at the time, it was already more than 21 o'clock in the evening, it was not early, Kim Hyun Tae and Qiao An chatted for a while, and after a burst of nonsense, Qiao An made a statement and prepared to leave.

After greeting his daughter, Kim Hyun Tae hugged Coco and put Joan in the car.

Lying by the car window, Kim Hyun Tae said to Qiao An: "That girl named Whitney, you go and get in touch with her, if there is no problem, sign it, the matter of the theater line will be handed over to you, just give me a call when the time comes." For other things, you can also help me deal with it more, in short, I have to worry about it. ”

Qiao An, who was sitting in the car, nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, it's no problem to leave everything to me, by the way, then the girl named Whitney is good, if I do something to her, it's no problem, right?"

Kim Hyun Tae rolled his eyes and didn't say anything, he really couldn't answer this question.

Seeing that Kim Hyun Tae didn't make a sound, Jo Ann smiled and started the car.

Looking at Jo An, who was driving away, Kim Hyun Tae thought to himself, "Is it possible that lace edges are all like this? There is one at home, and you have to look for it outside, this is just like a playboy." (To be continued.) )
