The woman in the back, No. 12, Seat 1, Row 4, also bought it.

Luo Fan frowned and thought: "How holy is this woman! She is so wealthy, 4, 6, has already bought 5 pieces of land."

Luo Fan also joined in the fun of the auction of Land No. 13. After all, their initial plan was for these three lands. If they could win Land No. 13, they would have one more choice.

But it is a pity that the competition for land No. 13 is the fiercest, because this land has the best geographical location, and many people are eyeing this land.

The starting price of 21 million was quickly increased to 40 million, and it is still increasing.

"Boss, it's a good thing you didn't put your treasure on this piece of land, otherwise our budget would have exceeded our budget by a lot." Gao Meng said in a low voice.

"When I looked through the information, I thought this land was good, but it was 100 square meters larger than I expected, so I didn't consider it as the main plan. By the way, who selected this land?" Luo Fan asked.

Asked instead.

"It's me. I feel that this piece of land should be the best piece of the 17 pieces of land auctioned." Cao Shuai said.

"It turns out you have a good sense." Gao Meng said calmly.

In the end, land No. 13 was taken over for 48 million.

After the three pieces of land he initially selected were all auctioned, Luo Fan didn't pay much attention to the subsequent auctions.

Luo Fan only remembered that the final piece of land of 3,690 square meters was sold for 60 million yuan.

After the auction, everyone who bought the land waited for the handover with Director Liu.

At this time, the woman in row 4, seat 1, received a call. She stood up and left her seat. Only then did Luo Fan see that the sign on her seat read Hong Kong Island Real Estate.

Luo Fan didn't expect that this woman actually represented a company on Hong Kong Island.

However, after Luo Fan thought about it, he could understand that the wealthy people on Hong Kong Island were indeed buying land all over the country at this stage.

For example, Li Xicheng is one of the best.

"Boss, she just bought a total of 7 pieces of land, and the largest piece of land also fell into her hands." Gao Meng said.

"Not only that, they also have a rule when buying land, which is not to compete with the same person a second time." Cao Shuai said indifferently.

"Is there still such a thing?" Gao Meng asked, stunned for a moment.

"There should be. I noticed it just now. When we bought No. 10, she originally wanted to bid, but was stopped by the companion next to her." Cao Shuai replied.

"Don't worry about her, it has nothing to do with us. We can just leave after the handover is completed. Real estate has never been the main business direction of our company." Luo Fan said.

After a while, Luo Fan was called backstage, and he handed the No. 10 land development plan prepared by the company to Director Liu.

After a quick browse, Director Liu asked: "Mr. Luo, does your company want to use this building as the future Shanghai headquarters of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., or the national headquarters?"

"The current plan is for a national headquarters."

Director Liu was calm on the surface when he heard this, but he was very excited inside. He had known Luo Fan's Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. before.

He feels that the potential of this company is very huge, and it is possible to compete with BAT in the future.

Once Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. can grow into a giant Internet company, it will definitely be a good thing for PD.

"Mr. Luo, this is my business card. If your company encounters any problems during the construction of the headquarters, you can come to me at any time."

Luo Fan took the business card and thanked him, then turned and left.

Luo Fan and the others came down from the venue, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, and drove away from the venue.

On the way back to the company, Luo Fan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked Cao Shuai: "The land issue has been solved, and the next step is how to repair the headquarters. Brother, do you have any connections over there?"

"Yes, a classmate of mine is a graduate student in civil engineering at Shandong University. Her teacher is a domestic expert in this field. I plan to ask him to help us make a design drawing, and then find someone to construct the project according to his design drawing."

"Is your classmate a boy or a girl?" Luo Fan asked casually.

"female."

"Okay! I understand! It seems that you are ready in advance."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shuai immediately defended: "No, what do you know? We are just classmates, a very pure classmate relationship."

"I didn't say you were impure! Brother, it's your own thoughts that are too dirty."

Cao Shuai's mouth twitched and he stopped talking.

"Okay, okay! Bro, let me ask you how open our theaters are now?" Luo Fan asked, changing the subject.

"The ones in Shanghai are already undergoing renovations, and those in other cities have basically bought shops and carried out preliminary renovations."

"How many cinemas have been opened in total? How much money has been spent so far?"

"Including the 24 in Shanghai, the one in Shanghai is the most expensive, costing 30 million. The remaining 23 can be purchased in provincial capital cities for more than 2 million, and some cost 67 million. The total cost is

133 million.

For subsequent renovations and equipment purchases, it is estimated that there will be around 20 million left.”

"That means our theater chain initially cost 150 million, right?" Luo Fan asked.

"almost."

“So when will our cinemas be fully open?”

"Probably by the end of 2011! The renovation here in Shanghai is relatively early, probably at the beginning of 2011." Cao Shuai thought for a while and replied.

"After our cinemas here in Shanghai open, we will start advertising and launching our cinema chain franchise plan."

"Boss, do we want to imitate Yida in our theater business?" Gao Meng asked.

"That's right! As far as I know, Yida currently has 71 cinemas in China, making it the largest cinema chain in the country. Our goal is to expand the cinema chain to 50 in the short term.

The way to join the franchise can be a joint venture model, that is, the investor contributes half and we contribute half.

Because we are not engaged in real estate and do not have the unique advantages of Yida, we can give up some of our profits in order to expand our cinema lines.

In short, I have only one request: within three years, we will have more than 100 theaters and more than 500 screens."

"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do." Cao Shuai assured.

"Boss, will our theater chain accept capital injections from other capitals?" Gao Meng asked.

"Of course it will. The purpose of establishing a theater chain is to share the cake of the entertainment industry, and at the same time facilitate some of our own movies that will be used and promoted in the future.

Since we are dividing the cake, surely we can’t eat it all as a family, right?

When our theater chain is launched in the future, big companies such as Penguin and Alibaba will definitely inject capital. We will accept all comers, as long as we ensure that our own shareholding ratio gives us the right to veto at future shareholders' meetings.
