C140 Entering the Entertainment Industry
Lee Lingwei took the phone and saw it was Yang Annqi, whom he had saved last night.
"I have a concert in Linjiang City tonight. Are you interested? I have sent someone to send the tickets to Beautiful Family Mall. I hope you can attend it with Little Nuo."
Huh?
Lee Lingwei was surprised. It was not easy for this big star to invite him and Little Nuo to her concert.
Because he had heard Ouyang Nuo mention that Yang Annqi was famous for being cold and aloof. She did not have any good friends in private and naturally would not invite people to her concert.
Inviting him to the concert this time was clearly giving him enough face.
However...
Lee Lingwei smiled slightly and deleted the message.
What kind of joke was this? His time was very precious. He still had to go to a place where a few hooligans stayed to farm Threat Values at night. How could he have time to listen to a concert?
After tidying up, Lee Lingwei went out to find a car and drove to the Beautiful Family Mall's shopping mall.
Today, the Beautiful Family Mall Mall, because of Zhuge Yun and the others' hard work and the result of him defeating his opponents, no longer had to worry about the number of customers.
In addition to Zhuge Yun and Fong Li's strategies, and the online e-commerce business, as well as the mergers and opening of several new branches, Beautiful Family Mall suddenly had the feeling of calling the wind and calling the rain in Linjiang City.
Before they walked into the Beautiful Family Mall from afar, the crowds had already become so crowded that Lee Lingwei found it hard to breathe. Many of the customers held the daily updated brochures of the Beautiful Family Mall in their hands and lowered their heads as they hurried inside.
Although many items were discounted, due to the limited number of items, many customers usually woke up early in the morning and rushed to stock up at home.
After monopolizing the retail industry in Linjiang City, Zhuge Yun and the others did not rush to raise the price and increase the profits. Instead, they continued to sell at a steady rate. Many products were even cheaper than wholesalers.
This move made many people restless. The capitalists who invested in the shopping malls in Linjiang City also stopped. They knew that they did not have an advantage in terms of price. Even if they opened a new shopping malls, they would lose money because they could not compete with the Beautiful Family Mall. Hence, most of them chose to stop or cooperate with the Beautiful Family Mall.
Currently, the sales volume of the Beautiful Family Mall every day was an astronomical figure.
If it was according to Zhuge Yun and the others, Lee Lingwei just sat on the floor and counted the money.
But Lee Lingwei shouted in his heart: Why does it feel like I don't have the slightest bit of money?
There was a pitiful amount of cash on Lee Lingwei's bank card. He had to find Ouyang Nuo if there was anything he needed to spend money on. Although Beautiful Family Mall was earning big money every day, Zhuge Yun and the rest used the money on their accounts to buy or buy new shops.
Zhang Yuejun had invested a lot, but not a single cent was transferred to Lee Lingwei's account.
Even the branded suits that Lee Lingwei bought in the Beautiful Family Mall special cabinet had to be deducted from the bonuses and dividends at the end of the year by Fong Li.
Lee Lingwei felt that as the general manager, CEO, boss, he was very aggrieved.
He could use hundreds of millions of dollars, but he could not put a dime in his pocket. He could give his employees high bonuses and salaries, but he could not raise his own salary. He could control the price of every item in the mall, but he could not leave them for himself.
Maybe this was the sorrow of being a boss.
Lee Lingwei walked into the American house with a "melancholy" expression.
As the nominal boss of the Beautiful Family Mall, as soon as Lee Lingwei walked in, a sharp-eyed female employee noticed him.
"Hello, General Manager."
The saleswoman had a warm smile on her face, which finally comforted Lee Lingwei's wounded heart.
At least, he could accept the admiration of his employees every day.
In just a few months, he had brought Beautiful Family Mall back to life and become the leader of Linjiang City. He had doubled the salaries of his employees, which was mostly his credit.
"Lee Lingwei, you're finally here."
Fong Li, who was patrolling in the shop, immediately pulled Lee Lingwei and pushed him to the meeting room. She said seriously, "Zhuge Yun and the others are waiting for you to have a meeting. They are discussing what to do next."
Lee Lingwei looked helpless. He shrugged and said, "You guys just have to do what you want to do next. Now that Beautiful Family Mall is on the right track, I don't have anything to worry about."
"Who said that?" Fong Li frowned and said, "You are our backbone. Without you, there are many decisions that we don't dare to make easily."
"Alright..." Lee Lingwei sighed. It was not easy to be a shopkeeper without doing anything.
He pushed open the door of the meeting room. Zhuge Yun, Tian Qian, and the others had been sitting by the side, looking at him with eager eyes.
"Hi, good morning." Lee Lingwei waved at the crowd.
"Beautiful Family Mall's performance has been pretty good recently. Everyone, thank you for your hard work."
Lee Lingwei encouraged the crowd, then sat down on his seat and said calmly, "I heard that you all have some decisions that you can't make. Tell me."
"It's like this." Zhuge Yun was the first to stand up. He took out a document and handed it to Lee Lingwei. He said, "Currently, Beautiful Family Mall has expanded to the maximum in Linjiang City. All the prosperous areas have our branches. After the successful sale of the shell, And financed a lot for us. Right now, we have sufficient cash flow to invest in a new industry, so we need to make a choice in the new investment field. "
Lee Lingwei looked at the document in his hand and was slightly surprised. He asked, "Real estate or cultural entertainment industry?
"Yes." Zhuge Yun nodded his head. "In the current Z Country, these two industries grow the fastest and have the most promising prospects. We are just considering whether we should enter real estate or entertainment culture. "
Lee Lingwei looked at the detailed documents in his hands and felt a headache coming on.
He looked at Zhuge Yun and said with an exaggerated expression, "Our current account has 3 billion in cash flow?"
"That's right." Zhuge Yun said, "There is an investment from Zhang Yuejun of the Heaven Sleeve Group, an investment from the Ouyang Group, and the funds collected after the listing, as well as the funds from other people who joined hands to open branches. All in all, there is about 3 billion in total."
What the...
Lee Lingwei's eyes widened, and he could not believe what he had just heard. He had actually earned all this money with his own hands. In just a few months' time, the scale of development had been so explosive!
"Actually, this speed of development isn't much." Zhuge Yun pushed up his glasses and said, "The development of Internet companies is even faster. For example, America, as a mobile phone manufacturer, in a short three years, it reached a scale of tens of billions of USD. Facebook is even worth 100 billion after it's listed. In the future, we will definitely reach a scale of 10 billion, or even 100 billion! "
Zhuge Yun was ambitious. Obviously, he was planning his business empire blueprint in his heart. Tian Qian, who was standing beside him, looked at him with admiration, as if she had seen a rising giant.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Lee Lingwei laughed and pulled everyone out of their unrealistic fantasies. "Let's not talk about tens of billions of dollars first. Let's talk about how we should go now."
Zhuge Yun pointed at the document in his hand and said to Lee Lingwei, "With our limited funds, we can only choose one property and entertainment industry. I have already analyzed the pros and cons of the two industries in the document. Whether we choose the entertainment industry or the real estate industry, I hope Director Li can give us a clear choice. "
Lee Lingwei looked at the document and naturally understood Zhuge Yun's dilemma.
The advantages of the real estate industry were very obvious. The profits were extremely high, and as long as the house was repaired, there would be no more risks. When the house was pawned to the bank, the funds could be easily refunded. A property with a development cost of billions could be raised to tens of billions in a minute. It could be considered to be extremely profitable!
However, the disadvantages of real estate were also very obvious: the competition for good land was fierce, and many real estate companies fought openly and secretly. And they also had to rely on the government's connections. It was not something that ordinary people could play around with. On this point, Beautiful Family Mall had a natural disadvantage... Moreover, there were countless tycoons in the real estate industry. Beautiful Family Mall wanted to take advantage of their pincer attack. It was not an easy task.
In comparison, Lee Lingwei was more optimistic about the entertainment industry.
There were many advantages. For example, the investment in the entertainment industry was not as exaggerated as real estate, and the entertainment industry did not have a natural monopoly. There was no real estate industry. That kind of situation where one could not play around without a government relationship.
The shortcomings of the entertainment industry could also be easily seen: low investment and low output. Invest in a film worth 1.5 million yuan. Even if it won the box office championship back then, the box office earnings would only be more than 2 billion yuan. After the split, it would only be 1 billion yuan. As for opening a company, managing the artistes under it, and drawing on the commission of the artistes, it would not even be as good as the commission of the real estate industry.
Overall, the entertainment industry was more fragmented than the real estate industry. The industry was divided into many details, and the profits were not as good as the real estate industry. However, it was rare that the entry requirements were simple, the risks were not too high, and the benefits were acceptable. The real estate industry was simple and crude, and the money came quickly. If there was the support of the government, it would naturally be the best choice.
Lee Lingwei placed the documents in his hands on the table. He did not even hesitate. He pointed at the entertainment industry and said, "I've decided. I'll enter the entertainment industry!"0
"Okay." Zhuge Yun did not doubt Lee Lingwei's decision. He immediately gathered the documents and started to think about the steps for Beautiful Family Mall to enter the entertainment industry.
To be honest, Lee Lingwei did not know anything about this circle before. Generally speaking, entering an industry blindly was basically the outcome of losing everything.
However, Lee Lingwei had full confidence in himself. In the past, the reform had also been like a stone crossing a river, but in the end, it also created a sky.
Even if he didn't have confidence in himself, he still had confidence in the super system...
"Then, we will draft a preliminary plan to enter the entertainment industry. At that time, we will show it to Director Li." Zhuge Yun was very tactful. He knew that Lee Lingwei was not enthusiastic about the meeting. After saying that, he led everyone out of the meeting room.
"Wait a minute." Lee Lingwei tilted his head and suddenly remembered Yang Annqi's concert.
She was the most popular person in the entertainment industry. Since he wanted to enter the entertainment industry, it was only natural for him to look for her to explore the way.
"Did someone send me tickets to the concert today?" Lee Lingwei asked Fong Li.
Usually, Fong Li was in charge of such things.
"Oh, right." Fong Li remembered and took out two tickets from the documents. "Someone invited Director Li to the concert today. I thought you would not be interested."
"I didn't have any interest in it." Lee Lingwei's eyes lit up. "But now I think I should go and take a look..."
