It's so simple and crude, just use money to spend it!

Is it up to the acquisition negotiations? Stop making trouble, everyone is very busy.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be broken with money. If there is, it means you are not rich enough!

The reason why the acquisition negotiations have been quarreled for a long time is actually to put it bluntly because they are empty talk. Both parties have maintained their rationality and will not give in to their own interests. It would be strange if they don’t fight for them.

It’s not as simple as it is now. To be honest, it’s just because time is too tight and cash is not easy to carry. Otherwise, Arthur would rather dump 45 million pounds of cash in the conference room directly to let the other party experience the money youhuo.

However, the effect is also good now. When the real cash check was turned forward, everyone on the other side was jealous.

In fact, to be honest, many human accidents in this world seem difficult to deal with, but in fact, they can be solved with money. Well, although this is a bit absolute, in today's society, except for birth, old age, sickness and death, money is basically omnipotent. (Don't sneer, the devil's experience talk!)

Fifteen minutes later...

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and everyone from the Cinemas, led by Ms. Bince, walked back to the conference room. Ms. Bince had a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely complicated to look at the young Earl Rich Arthur Boling, who had a bright smile on her face.

"Mr. Bolin, after communicating with the shareholders, we agree to your acquisition and can start preparing the contract."

"Haha, a wise choice!" Arthur smiled happily, stood up, shook hands with the other party and said, "For you, you are just a change of boss, and the rest has not changed!"

Since the acquisition has been successful, Arthur naturally has to appease the executives of the theater. After all, if the new boss is replaced, the most uneasy thing is their old employees. Although they don’t know that the emperor and the ministers are the ones, they also understand that if the new boss wants to complete control, they will inevitably make personnel adjustments. In that case, there will naturally be management turmoil.

However, Arthur never thought of touching these people. To put it bluntly, Arthur really didn't take the Cinemas seriously. He acquired it in advance just to lay the foundation for the acquisition of Odion Cinemas.

The contract was soon planned, and then Arthur met and greeted the shareholders who rushed over, and the two parties signed and completed the transaction under the witness of the executives of the theater.

Since then, in Arthur's asset list, there is another independent cinema chain composed of twenty-three cinemas.

“… Many years ago, most market towns with a population of more than 10,000 people would have local cinemas. Many of those cinemas were closed in the 1970s and 1980s, when the number of moviegoers in the UK was at its lowest point… Later, new technology gave people confidence and let you know that you don’t need a lot of money to develop your own cinema.”

Ceobins accompanied the new boss Arthur Bolin and began to visit Prince Cinema. He followed suit and introduced the new boss as much as possible.

"Where is the positioning?" Arthur looked at the theater that already belonged to him. Although it was a bit old, it had a unique style, and raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"For the movie house theater, we prefer to position it as a "neighborhood cinema" rather than a "boutique cinema" with a niche style in the traditional sense. We don't care about the competition for high-end multi-hall theaters. Although we don't have large and shiny leather seats, we are very comfortable. We are part of the community and have delicious food and drinks. For us, a big advantage is that our list has depth and breadth."

Speaking of this, Binnes is proud because only two of the company's 23 theaters show relatively restricted films. At the same time, the theaters in Soho and Bloombury are enforced with the pure screen policy. The theaters in Mayfair, Richmond and Wimbledon are also aligned with the brand's core values, and of course, more mainstream films may be seen in other regions.

"...For us, the only problem is that the challenge facing the independent screening industry is how to maintain the number of viewers during the summer blockbuster release."

Hearing this, Arthur nodded slightly. To be honest, if you really want to make money, it is still those big popcorn commercial movies, and the arts are really too niche.

"Movies are something we can't control. Movies are made by others. We can only control how much the theater itself is loved by the audience. We can control the food and drinks we sell. We can control the team serving the audience. That's all we can do."

Hearing the young boss's insight, Binz couldn't help but lit up his eyes and smiled happily: "It's true. People often ask us, 'How far can you go?'

I can't see what happens five years later, but if you ask me to draw a map and mark any town I think can open a theater, it should be everywhere, and opening a theater requires the right price and the right opportunity to find the right building. It's a challenge - no definite town or location."

"Haha, you're not too ambitious." Arthur smiled and looked at Binz, then nodded and smiled, "You can continue to implement it according to your plan, including large signage of cinemas, membership cards, food menus and popcorn boxes, as well as picturehouse websites and digital applications. Some long-term signage, such as cinema screen numbers, will remain the same until they need to change."

Hearing the young boss' words, Bins breathed a sigh of relief again. To be honest, she was really worried that the new boss would make drastic changes, which would not only cost manpower and material resources, but also weaken the value of the brand. Now that she knows that everything is the same, how can she breathe a sigh of relief?

"Take me to the film production company to see it. I'm very interested in it!" After reading many beautiful articles, I am naturally familiar with the routine of dominating the film industry. I'm just continuing to work as a porter. Since there is an additional film company under its jurisdiction, Arthur naturally won't waste resources and wants to make it run.

As the core force in fighting against Hollywood's monopoly on the domestic film market, its development concerns the overall situation of the British film industry. In recent years, the market share has grown spiral and the upward trend is obvious.

Of course, the prosperity of British independent films is not accidental. The strong support of the UK, the mission carried by the film, and the close relationship between the film industry and other industries constitute the internal motivation for development.

At the same time, British films face the complex situation of box office competition in the United States. How to break through development bottlenecks such as narrow audience group, challenges in digital technology, lack of profitability and weak distribution and screening are the real challenges facing British films.

"Boss, as an important part of the British film industry, British independent films not only shoulder the responsibility of prospering the local film market in the UK, but also shoulder the arduous mission of leading British films to internationalization. This is also the reason why we have to keep them even though film companies have lost money!"

On the way to the film company, Binz introduced to Arthur with some emotion, "According to the definition of the British Film Association, British independent film refers to British films produced by independent production companies other than the six major American production companies. Six companies include Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Walt Disney, Universal, Sony and Warner Bros.

British films can be divided into two parts: British independent films and co-production films invested by major American film companies. This division method implies the distinctive characteristics and reality of the British film industry. Alas, it is shameful and helpless to say that. The Americanization of British films and British films shrouded in Hollywood, the sense of identity has always been full of loss and inferiority complex... "
