Chapter 387: The Beginning of the Giants: The Chen Family Foundation
Chen Tiandu talked casually with his father about business. Chen Yongping said: "The license of the theater chain has been settled, and it is estimated that there will be results after this period. The construction of the theater is complete and the trial operation is very effective. For the specific theater chain to open, I am waiting to find a suitable time to open the first cinema in Beijing."
"How many Matrix Commercial Plaza Cinemas are there in the first phase?"
"Fifteen stores, 107 large screens, the smallest one has six halls for decoration, and the geographical location is all distributed in first-tier cities across the country. This scale, as a private theater chain, is definitely the first in China." Chen Yongping took a sip of tea and said, "But there is no problem when opening the theater chain, but there is no need to think about prosperity. Domestic audiences have not yet cultivated the habit of watching movies, and the flow of people they drive is not as good as the flow of customers in the mall."
Chen Tian couldn't do this problem, it was a contradictory issue. As a filmmaker, of course, he hoped that theaters would take care of domestic movies. However, as the owner of theaters, he was very much looking forward to more Hollywood blockbusters being introduced, even if they were introduced to Hong Kong movies, the cinemas in the province were often empty and had no business.
Although mainland film companies rely on their connections to monopolize the high-quality theater resources for a long time, they once excluded the imported American blockbusters to the local production regardless of the number of scenes, release dates and screens.
However, American blockbusters are still at their worst relying on excellent films one after another, constantly defeating the monopoly and constraints of mainland filmmakers, making more and more theaters disconnected from local film production companies. Even though most of the two sides are national-sized, driven by interests, mainland theaters eventually turned to the United States to import blockbusters, actively providing them with more high-quality scenes and schedules.
But he knew even more that as long as the door to theater reform is opened in China, the box office of domestic movies will double year by year. No matter how hard it is, it will only take a few years.
Chen Tian saw that they lacked confidence, strengthened his father and second uncle's confidence, and reminded them that the strategy of the commercial plaza with cinema as the core is so great that it has a lot of money. Even though the two of them are still half-believing, Chen Tian finally had the final say in this regard, and he is professional.
"Dad, second uncle, the family business is getting bigger and bigger, and today everyone in my family is here, so I have an idea to propose it."
Chen Yonghe probably guessed what he thought, and he could only encourage such things, "If you want to say it, let's talk about it, family, so what are you doing formally."
Chen Tian smiled and signaled Lin Zhiling to take out the information.
"What is this?" Chen Yongping looked over curiously.
Chen Tiandu explained: "It's like this. The family's business is no longer limited to the entertainment industry, real estate, business, and even in the future there will be automobiles, mobile phones, and IT websites. Brothers will settle the accounts clearly. If you don't make good plans now, it will be even harder to divide the business when the stalls become bigger in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the small living room suddenly became quiet. Even the grandpa and grandma who were not in charge of the matter widened their eyes.
Grandma was sincerely proud of this grandson and said, "Is our family already at the point of building a family foundation? What a miracle, thank God."
It was actually a family fund, which was much beyond expectations.
Family funds mainly refer to funds whose funds mainly come from multiple members of the same family. Whether they exist in the form of trust, offshore company, or in a single account or bank account, they can be collectively called "family funds".
The concept of family funds is more popular in European and American countries, and is just starting out in China.
Family funds in the United States are different. They originated from the rich families of the Gilded Age, including super families such as Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon, and even needed family offices to manage and inherit family assets.
According to purchasing power, these families are the real rich people, and their families are called wealthy families. If the ancestors have titles and can be hereditary nobles, their status will be even higher.
The assets of individual wealthy people, such as Bill Gates, Buffett and others, are far behind them. Two centuries later, although these families are no longer super rich, the total assets controlled by these families still have to be worth tens of billions. The main reason why these families can pass on generations beyond the centuries is that their family wealth is centrally managed through family funds.
Chen Yonghe said: "We don't know much about this. You can say that this family was built by you. If you have any ideas, please continue to talk about it."
Chen Tian didn't care and said, "That's right, I plan to set up a family foundation to make a long-term plan for the future generations and even more than ten generations of my family."
"There is an old saying in China that wealth can only last for three generations. In Europe and the United States, true rich families will only become richer and richer, but things rarely happen if they are poorer for three generations. Because they have very scientific management of future assets. The younger generations in our family, such as Mengmeng, have grown up, or my children in the future, will get married and have children. If the next generation of young people want to start a business, as long as they apply, they can get a sum of money from this foundation to start a business."
"Doing this can also avoid becoming a rich second generation who can reach out to the clothes, eat, eat lazy, and do whatever they want, and fundamentally cultivate their personal abilities. Even if they fail to start a business, there will be a limit on the number of failures. If you fail many times, then just go home and be an ordinary person. You can still receive a considerable amount of living funds from this foundation every year, and you will never have a problem living."
Chen Yongping said: "The idea is very good. If our generation can endure hardships, it does not mean that the younger generations can also endure hardships."
Chen Yonghe said: "If you want to do it, do it thoroughly. I will give you the texture, who will leave this foundation to manage. If it is managed by family members, you will never escape the barrier of human nature. They are all descendants of the future, and no one is the flesh of your heart. If you have no money, you will need a little today and a little tomorrow, and it will probably be loose. Your foundation is just a joke."
"Well, I thought of it, too."
Chen Tiandu said: "My idea is to set up a Chen family office and find professional management talents to act as agents. To manage the part of the family's funds. These are different from companies and enterprises, and belong to independent family offices. In addition to providing investment and wealth management, the family office will also provide tax filing, real estate, private jets and other financial services to the family in the future. In other words, this is the biggest foundation for our family's prosperity in the future."
...
It is said that it is a family, but the current members are still very simple. But under Chen Tiandu's plan, it can be foreseeable that the Chen family in the future will definitely be a top wealthy family. Lin Zhiling sat quietly beside them and listened to them discussing the future of the family. Her heart was also filled with people. It would be great when I could enter this family.
After all, the foundation needs stable steps and detailed planning, but now it is proposed by Chen Tiandu, which can be regarded as a relief for the second uncle's family. It also lays a solid backbone for their increasingly large industry.
For specific operations, there are naturally two adults who work hard, and Chen Tian only needs to grasp the general direction.
Returning to Matrix Wushuang Film and Television Company, Gao Shuqun was waiting there anxiously, his fat butt was not sat down, and he ran to the door from time to time to take a look. I don’t know how many times it was, but finally saw a low-key Audi parked at the door, and he quickly met him.
"Oh, Director Gao, it's you. Have waited for a long time." Chen Tian was so happy at first sight.
"No, I just arrived at the company." Gao Shuqun said with a smile: "Isn't this waiting for you to sign and start the work?"
"Okay, are the others here? Let's go in together."
Gao Shuqun said: "All of them are here, Liu Dehua, Li Jiaxin, Bingbing and others are all inside. I can't sit still, so I run outside alone."
Chen Tiandu nodded and walked in with him. There is no doubt that Gao Shuqun was so active, so naturally Chen Tiandu promised him to film his movie. When he asked him to make the TV series "Conquest", he promised him to make a script written by Chen Tiandu. Now "Conquest" has been released on CCTV, and its ratings have been rising. It has not been finished this year, and there is also the potential to become the national champion this year.
As the starring actor, Sun Honglei also became popular and has been making film appointments.
On the contrary, Huang Bo, who has followed Chen Tian for a longer time, has not much chance of making a comeback.
There is a little bit of unfamiliarity in Matrix Wushuang, but the staffing is much more complete. Gradually, it looks like a big company. When people walk into the company, they call him "Hello Mr. Chen" when they see it. Chen Tiandu also responds with a smile from beginning to end. When they meet unrecognized faces, they will occasionally ask a few more questions. After all, this is his own company.
"Boss, you're back. You really want to be dead." A young and beautiful woman came forward with her arms wide open and walked out without saying a word. It was Fan Binbin who had not seen her for some time. People rely on clothes and beauty rely on makeup. As her psychological quality becomes more and more mature, she is also more and more able to dress herself up. She looks like she becomes the queen of fashion. No matter from which angle she looks, she only has one word "beautiful".
While not many people were paying attention, Chen Tian slapped her buttocks hard, "You have a conscience, and you still remember the boss."
When I walked into the conference room, all the main creators of the movies were here. At first glance, I saw Li Jiaxin with a smile on her face. After all, they didn’t have to “reunite after a long time”. I casually greeted Liu Dehua, Ning Hao and others, “Brother Hua, let you wait for a long time.”
"Haha, it's not long, we're here in advance. Besides, I have to wait for you, the big director, for as long as you have to wait." Liu Dehua patted his back.
This is not the first time we have worked together, but this time, the relationship should be more "close".
"Today is a film preparation meeting, and it is also a meeting for everyone to know the upcoming cooperation. Everyone is very busy. It is not easy to invite Brother Hua and Jiaxin, and I will not delay everyone's work. Just get to the main topic." Chen Tian opened the topic, even if this new movie project was officially launched.
Everyone was focused and listened to his statements and gradually entered the working state. (To be continued...) i1292
