Chapter 23
2 Goods Alliance
Faced with such an attractive price, Su Yu refused without even thinking.
It's not that he can't come up with 20,000 yuan.
Rather, they didn't want to be victims of injustice.
Cinemas after 2002 are indeed valuable, but the valuable ones are those in central business districts, not those on the street.
You should know that this is Huairou.
It's a long way from the real city center.
No matter how beautifully decorated or how high-end the equipment is, how many people would be willing to drive two hours just to watch a movie here?
So this matter was never open to discussion from the start.
Su Yu initiated the conversation simply to inquire about the relevant prices, providing a reference for future acquisitions.
In Huairou, you can get a movie theater for 20,000 yuan.
The cinemas in the city center, will they increase tenfold?
When the proprietress saw that Su Yu had no intention of signing the contract, her face immediately fell. She rolled her eyes at Su Yu and spat the sunflower seed shells on the ground.
There were only Su Yu and Ma Sichun in the movie theater.
Soon, images from Titanic appeared on the screen.
Su Yu wasn't particularly interested in these old movies, mainly because he'd seen them far too many times, while Ma Sichun seemed to thoroughly enjoy them.
The young girl is in her adolescence and is full of curiosity about love.
Leonardo DiCaprio was still so handsome in Titanic, and the story was so touching that I never got tired of watching it.
Moreover, this kind of movie is not something that ordinary people can afford to watch.
A movie ticket costs 90 yuan.
Even if we put it in 2000, or even 20 years from now, it would still be a place no one would go.
It's fair to say that there's a reason why the cinemas here are so popular.
However, if the ticket price is too low, it will be difficult to recoup the costs.
Therefore, if you're going to run a cinema chain, you can't just focus on cinema chains; you need to collaborate with other industries and develop a viable business model.
Even after the movie ended, Su Yu was still thinking about his next move.
In contrast, Ma Sichun watched with exceptional seriousness.
I cried buckets, especially when I saw Leonardo DiCaprio standing at the bow of the ship, embracing Rose in the sunset, and then bravely facing his death.
At this point, he didn't care about saving face anymore, and pulled out a wad of tissues from his pocket and started wiping.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, thinking to himself, "Your love-struck nature seems to be something you've had since childhood."
"You're not allowed to laugh at me, or I'll tell my aunt you're bullying me!"
"I'm not that bored. Let's go after we're done watching."
Ma Sichun followed hesitantly behind him, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that at noon today. You're not angry, are you?"
Su Yu shrugged. "Why would I get angry at a little girl like you who hasn't even grown up yet?"
"I'm an adult now! You're the little girl!"
Ma Sichun put on a tough-girl act, but Su Yu didn't take it at all and took her directly to the city.
"What should we do now?"
"See a movie."
"Going to see a movie again? Didn't we just see one?"
Su Yu was too lazy to explain to her, so he simply took her to various movie theaters and, under the guise of watching movies, investigated some basic information thoroughly.
The cinemas in the city center are noticeably more regulated and cleaner.
Of course, the price is also higher.
While not exaggerated to the point of tenfold, prices are generally around 100,000 to 150,000, with some locations having special backgrounds.
Acquiring it would be quite difficult.
However, there's no rush now. There are still two full years until the cinema system reform, giving Su Yu plenty of time to prepare.
After dropping Ma Sichun off at the film set, Su Yu walked around and entered through a small door.
I was thinking of not disturbing their filming schedule, but as soon as I went in, I saw a man and a woman huddled together there.
The man's hands were groping, and the woman looked nervous; it was clear their relationship wasn't legitimate.
Su Yu cleared his throat and called out, "The stage manager is here!" Upon hearing this, the two of them took off running, almost losing their shoes in the process.
Then, Su Yu hummed a little tune as he walked to the director's tent and saw Li Yang squatting there chatting with someone.
Su Yu sat there and listened for a while, and finally understood.
The man chatting with Li Yang is named Pan Xu. He is from Chengdu, not very tall, fair-skinned, and speaks with a distinct Sichuan-Chongqing accent.
His first words had an inexplicable comedic quality.
Since the two had just met, they were still in the process of getting to know each other, and Li Yang said he preferred older women.
After listening, Pan Xu shook his head and said that older women were no good, as they were easy to hit on the head; he should find younger women instead.
After he finished speaking, he turned and glanced at Su Yu.
"Hey buddy, why are you saying I'm right?"
"I don't know, I don't like women."
"Still a greenhorn? A virgin?"
Pan Xu looked at him in surprise, thinking to himself, "Are there still people who don't like women these days?"
Are you from Chengdu too?
Li Yang, standing to the side, remained appropriately silent, thinking to himself that if he didn't know Liu Yifei, he would have believed it.
Su Yu felt no guilt about it; who the hell would date for no reason during the prime of their youth?
It's definitely about making money!
Pan Xu was silent for a moment, then suddenly grinned and comforted her, "Actually, women aren't all that great..."
As he spoke, he patted Su Yu on the shoulder, his eyebrows twitching up in a comical way.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I've dated five or six people, it was all unnecessary. I think being single is much more carefree."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yang immediately perked up, "Five or six? How did you negotiate that? Tell me, brother!"
Pan Xu sighed and said, "What's there to say? I had one when I was in school, but we broke up later..."
Why did you break up?
"Because of studying. Others are doing well in their studies, you can't hold them back, can you?"
"What about the remaining ones?"
"Two of them were people I met after I got out of the city, and they pursued me. The other three were people I thought were ugly..."
At this point, Pan Xu once again turned the topic to Su Yu.
"And you?"
"I haven't dated any of them."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Xu couldn't help but smile, feeling that he had really done something awesome today.
To be honest, when Su Yu came over just now, he really felt a strong sense of pressure.
The main reason is that Su Yu is just too handsome and tall; he's the kind of guy that girls would love.
But things are different now...
Pan Xu felt his back straighten up, his voice became louder, and he was incredibly confident.
"I said having a girlfriend is really meaningless, but not having one isn't good either. Actually, pursuing girls is quite simple..."
"As long as you have perseverance and determination, you can basically succeed."
"When you see someone on the street, take the initiative to go over and say hello, and give them a small gift when you have nothing to do."
"People will get used to you after just a few times."
"With my experience, I can usually win her over in about six months."
"So don't be afraid of losing face, just ask her out, have a meal, and maybe hold her hand."
Listening to Pan Xu's sharing of his experience, Su Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "What kind of hooligan behavior is this?"
Why don't you bring a brick with you when you approach a girl? That might increase your success rate.
This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
But when he turned his head again, he was surprised to find that Li Yang, that idiot, was listening very attentively!
He even took out his phone and started editing text messages while frantically taking notes.
"???"
