Chapter 3169 make money like this
Lin Feng shouted back at the vice presidents of the six major film companies. After the six people went back, when the incident was mentioned, the presidents of the six major film companies were immediately angry. This Lin Feng was so arrogant, he actually dared to treat them like this
Talk to them and ask them to honestly write applications for filming. This is simply disgusting! Who does he think he is?
"We must unite to boycott him!" the Disney president said angrily.
"Yes, boycott him!" Li Fuzhen, president of Samsung Columbia, agreed.
Many CEOs agreed that Lin Feng must be sanctioned, and roared like crazy. They could not accept that people like them were going to beg for mercy from Lin Feng. This was absolutely unacceptable to them.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, please allow me to say this. How are you going to punish him?" Elizabeth Murdoch shrugged helplessly.
"It's very simple! His investment in this 'Dream City' is so huge. If he doesn't open it to the outside world, not to mention whether he can recover the cost, just the huge maintenance cost is enough to make him unbearable. We just need to boycott.
He can make Lin Feng give in! With such a huge investment, if film companies like us don't go to it, it will eventually become a ghost town! Everyone must have heard about the ghost town area in Detroit. Now the housing prices across the United States are rising.
Only housing prices in Detroit are falling. Moreover, the prices are actually as low as US$1-100 per square meter. Although such low prices have attracted a large number of investors, no one has made money in Detroit. The large number of housing prices bought,
In the end, we can only continue to choose to sell it. And the same goes for this city!" the president of Paramount said coldly.
Housing prices in Detroit! Everyone nodded. Indeed, Detroit is the automobile city in the United States. However, with the decline of the city's automobile industry, the exodus of a large number of urban residents, and the unsatisfactory environment, housing prices in Detroit have experienced reverse growth. Others
The city has an increasing population and housing prices are getting higher and higher, but everything in Detroit is the opposite. Without a population, there is no market. Without a market, there are no businesses, without businesses, there are no services, and without services, there is no
Residents. Under a vicious cycle, the bustling downtown area of Detroit has turned into a ghost town.
The same will be true for Lin Feng's "Dream City". As long as they unite and don't film, no one will care about this place. The reason why Hollywood becomes Hollywood is that so many film companies gather together and film every day, making Hollywood a city that never sleeps.
, has become a must-visit place for tourists coming to Los Angeles. If there is no film crew in Lin Feng's "Dream City", such a huge place will be vacant. Even if tourists come here, what else will there be besides an empty place?
For tourists?
"So, let's boycott it together. We won't go to the 'City of Dreams' to film!" the president of Warner Pictures shouted.
"Yes, resolutely resist!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Immediately, on behalf of the alliance of thousands of film companies, everyone sent a boycott letter to Lin Feng, announcing that they would refuse to go to the "City of Dreams" to film. After receiving this letter, Lin Feng laughed out loud.
"Boss, if they resist like this, if no one comes to film, won't our investment be at a loss?" Lin Chiling said hesitantly. She didn't understand why Lin Feng laughed.
"Zhiling, don't you think it's ridiculous? In this society where interests come first, do they really think they can kidnap everyone's will?" Lin Feng sneered, "Publish a letter to all the film companies around the world, and that's it.
Say My 'Dream City' welcomes major companies from around the world to come and film. The venue rental fee will be completely free. Only an appropriate scene maintenance fee will be charged to each crew, a maintenance fee of US$1 per square meter per day! But
, except for the six major film companies, they must charge high scene rental fees, US$10,000 per square meter per day. Unless they apologize to me!”
Uh... Lin Chiling was shocked. She didn't expect that Lin Feng would retaliate against the six major film companies like this. If so, it would indeed break up this alliance, but how can such a huge city be maintained? Although it is 1 US dollars per square meter per day.
Maintenance fees, after accounting, are just barely enough to maintain the major scenes and pay the corresponding wages. But what about the initial investment? In addition to the major scenes, there are also facilities such as maintenance of public facilities and lighting systems throughout the city. Then
It is a huge expense. Conservative estimates suggest that the maintenance of these public facilities will cost about US$1.5 billion a year.
This number sounds scary, but in fact it is not excessive or exaggerated at all. When the 'City of Dreams' is fully completed, its size will be equivalent to the entire Los Angeles. The cost of maintaining public facilities in a modern urbanized city for one year is only a trifle.
One billion U.S. dollars is not much at all. You know, if calculated according to Tom Wright's drawings, the electricity bill alone will cost about 700 million U.S. dollars.
US$700 million in electricity bills? Such an exaggeration? No, it is not an exaggeration at all. In addition to the dazzling neon lights and various lighting circuits that can turn the city into a city that never sleeps, what really attracts the attention of the 'City of Dreams' is a rice-shaped full-scale
City escalator.
What is a city-wide escalator? It means that with the "Wind God Temple" as the center, there is an escalator running through the whole city, one in the east, west, north and south. As long as tourists walk up, they can visit the whole city through the escalator. The escalator will
It is completely free during the day and rests at night. The annual maintenance fee and electricity fee for such an escalator is about 300 million U.S. dollars. Counting other things, the annual electricity fee of 700 million U.S. dollars is not too much. Plus it is enough for the whole city.
To resist the once-in-a-century sewer maintenance system, clean tap water, and maintenance of surrounding green belts, etc., $1.5 billion a year in maintenance is by no means too much.
Lin Feng's assets are enough for him to meet these expenses, but it will not work in the long run. Lin Feng cannot be allowed to spend continuously alone. This year's 1.5 billion US dollars will be 15 billion US dollars in 10 years. This building
Cities, which cost huge amounts of money to build (currently calculated, the total investment will exceed 100 billion US dollars), cannot only run for a few years or decades, but must exist forever. In that case, who will bear this huge expenditure. It must be
Have hematopoietic function.
But Lin Feng is completely free and only charges a maintenance fee of US$1 per square meter in the scene. What should we do with this? Lin Chiling is a little anxious.
"Zhiling, don't worry. You really don't need to worry. This city has automatic hematopoietic function! As long as these film companies come, it will have hematopoietic function!" Lin Feng smiled.
"Ah, how to make money? Boss? How to make money?" Lin Chiling asked excitedly.
"Haha, it's very simple, two points. First, tourists, and second, side industry!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Tourists? This is indeed a big deal, but can it earn back 1.5 billion US dollars? Lin Chiling doesn't believe it. This city is completely free, and Lin Feng has no intention of charging any tickets. Of course, it is impossible to charge tickets, so tourists will visit for free.
.How to make money? Although you can sell some handicrafts, souvenirs, etc., according to Hollywood experience, the sales in this part are not significant. Because Hollywood itself does not make money, Hollywood is just famous, it is the holy land of American movies, and tourists must go
place. When it comes to making money, Hollywood really doesn’t make money.
In the same way, Hollywood doesn't make money, and "City of Dreams" can't make money by renting out scenes, so how can it make money? Lin Chiling doesn't understand.
"Haha, tourists are only the key to ensuring the second item. If there are more tourists, then we can make money. Zhiling, you should know that I own the '138 Kanshu.com Fast Food Restaurant', and I have 65% of the shares!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Chiling nodded. Although "138 Kanshu.com Fast Food Restaurant" is listed on the market, Lin Feng holds absolute controlling interest. He is a well-deserved absolute shareholder.
"I am ready to completely acquire the remaining shares and delist them!" Lin Feng said.
"Ah? Delisting?" Lin Chiling was stunned. Most other companies are seeking to go public, but Lin Feng actually wants to delist. What does this mean?
Lin Feng smiled.
"Only after delisting can I make more money. Otherwise, I would have to give other people a lot of money out of thin air. I am not that stupid! The amount of financing brought by the stock price of '138 Kanshu.com Fast Food Restaurant' is just a drop in the bucket for me now." .Instead of letting others make money, it’s better for me to make it myself, and I don’t need to explain it to the Securities Regulatory Commission,” said Lin Feng.
Lin Chiling nodded. In that case, what should Lin Feng do after delisting?
"Haha, it's very simple. After delisting, in the entire 'Dream City', only my '138 Kanshu.com Fast Food Restaurant' will provide catering. No other fast food restaurants or restaurants will be allowed to enter. In this 'Dream City' "City', except for my '138 Kanshu.com Fast Food Restaurant', no food or beverages are allowed to appear!" Lin Feng said coldly.
"Brilliant!" Lin Chiling exclaimed. If this 'Dream City' is completely free for film companies, then almost all film companies in the world will come to film. And by then, the number of tourists will inevitably increase. How many people does Hollywood have in a year? With a million tourists, there will be at least 10 million here. And this 'Dream City' is not only bigger than Hollywood, but also more convenient. There are completely free city escalators, which will definitely attract more tourists. Tens of millions of people come here, and every day If a person only spends 10 US dollars on a meal, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. This is just fast food. If there are high-end restaurants, the profits will be even greater.
Of course, it's not just that, there are also major production crews. Since outside meals are not allowed, you can only order food through the '138 Kanshu.com fast food restaurant'. In that case, you can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue a year. It can be said that , just from the catering industry, this is a huge amount of income.
"In addition, I will cooperate with Wal-Mart and allow Wal-Mart to enter here. The venue rental fee will also be part of the income." Lin Fengxiao said, "Of course, allowing Wal-Mart to enter is just for the convenience of tourists and the crew. What is really different Hotels are also profitable. Can such a big city be visited in one day? This is not a small place like Hollywood. I will create theme hotels of different styles according to the four major areas. Zhiling, accommodation for millions of people , one person only spends 100 US dollars a day. I think it can earn back most of the city maintenance costs. Not to mention, there are also various exquisite small gifts made. I think these aspects combined should be enough to maintain the city's operations." Lin Feng said confidently.
"So, now, send this announcement out, I want every film company in the world to receive it!" Lin Feng said coldly.
Threaten me, you are dreaming!
