Prosperity: Financial circle on the left, entertainment circle on the right

It's just that although Liu Xiaobao knows the best way to do it, he also has self-awareness.

He knew very well that he wanted to make a big investment, but the funds he had now were not enough, and they were still far from enough.

Liu Xiaobao must first expand and fill his wallet before he can consider making big investments.

But even though he now knows that he can't make big investments, Liu Xiaobao is not in a hurry.

If he wants to create a business empire for himself, he has to do it step by step.

The pyramid cannot be built directly to the top level, but needs to be piled up layer by layer starting from the bottom, so that it can be completed and stable.

So Liu Xiaobao is currently thinking about what infrastructure his 'business empire' should have.

Liu Xiaobao, who is forward-thinking, does not plan to build the company slowly. He wants to plan the ultimate goal from the very beginning.

He has already thought about forming a group company directly.

From now on, all the businesses he touches will be affiliated to his group company.

Even Liu Xiaobao quickly figured out the basic structure of the group.

The first is the business in his hands now. He thinks that the foreign trade business will continue to be done, and the foreign trade company will continue to be retained. In the future, he will specialize in trading business, and the person in charge will still be his uncle.

The second is the investment business in the stock market. Liu Xiaobao decided to single out this part and directly set up an investment company, which is the so-called investment bank.

It's just that Liu Xiaobao's investment bank will not only do stock investment. Stock investment is just one of the projects. It will start with the basics. When there is more money in the future, he will directly use this investment company to make financial investments.

Finally, Liu Xiaobao will set up another entertainment company.

That's right, it's an entertainment company.

Liu Xiaobao knows very well that in the 1990s, apart from stocks, the fastest way to make money was in the entertainment industry.

At this time, the investment in a movie was only a few million, and if it was shot faster, it could be completed in about a week, and it could be released on the big screen in half a month to make money.

Although the box office this year is not as high as in 2023, a box office of 30 to 40 million per movie is considered high, but it cannot withstand the fast cycle!

Let's put it this way, in 2023, it would take more than half a year to shoot a movie. For a more demanding movie, it would even take a year or two to shoot.

Where can it be compared with now? Let's talk about Wang Jing, the famous"fast shooter director" in Hong Kong. When Wang Jing was the fastest, he could shoot a movie in a day.

Of course, situations like this only happen very rarely, but in today's film industry, it is generally possible to finish a movie in half a month to a month.

Even if a movie can only make one or two million, the speed at which it makes money is terrifying.

The key is that the film tax at this time was low, only about 12%, unlike later generations where the tax rate was as high as 40%.

If a movie has a box office of 10 million yuan, it will still have 9 million yuan after tax, and it will still earn at least about 4 million yuan after the investment cost.

What's more, entertainment companies not only make money by making movies, but singers can also make money by singing.

Just like the singer Zhang Xueyou, just one cassette of"Kiss Goodbye" sold more than 40 million.

Moreover, the entertainment industry was not only in its golden age in the 1990s, but even in 2023, it would still be an equally profitable industry.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao must form an entertainment company.

For the time being, what Liu Xiaobao thinks of is to build three companies, a trading company, an investment company, and an entertainment company.

As for other industries, Liu Xiaobao has no plans to get involved at the moment, because he knows that the small amount of funds he has is not enough to expand the business.

After making plans for the future, Liu Xiaobao's mood became better.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Xiaobao drove to 'Night Tokyo'.

As soon as they entered the door, Xiaoqin and Xiaowen, the waiters of 'Night Tokyo', shouted at the top of their lungs:"Madam boss, Mr. Bao is here!"

Although Xiaoqin and Xiaowen reminded Lingzi, their shouts caused the store to panic. The guests inside all looked toward the door.

There's nothing I can do about it. In the past two years, Mr. Bao's reputation has become so famous that most of the guests who come to"Ye Tokyo" for dinner are also there because of him.

Of course, these people came to 'Ye Tokyo' not just to take a look at 'Mr. Bao', but also to try their luck and see if there was any possibility of doing business with 'Mr. Bao'.

Liu Xiaobao was not nervous when he realized that he had become the center of attention. Since his rebirth, he had become accustomed to being the center of attention.

He calmly nodded slightly to the customers in the store, said hello to them, and then went straight to the kitchen.

Liu Xiaobao came hungry. The first thing he did when he came to Night Tokyo was of course to ask the chef to prepare something for him.

"Little monk, I don’t want to eat pickled rice today, please make me some stir-fried vegetables!"

"Okay, Mr. Bao, I understand!"

After saying hello to the little chef monk, Liu Xiaobao turned around and walked towards the box.

As soon as he stepped into the box, Lingzi followed him in

"When did taste change?"

"You'll get tired of eating dragon meat every day, let alone steamed rice. It's time for a change!"

"Then when will you replace me, the person who manages Night Tokyo for you?"

"How is it possible? I can't change you, Reiko, for anything!"

"Why can't you replace me?"

"Because of Reiko, you can lose money!"

"OK, you are mocking me, right? But I don’t care, but you can’t say that to me again in the future. I will try to help you lose less from next month!"

"That’s great, then I’d like to thank you in advance!"

"Okay, let’s get down to business. Business is not very good right now. I asked you to come here today just to tell you that I want to renovate Night Tokyo and start business properly."

When Liu Xiaobao heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly:"Just tell me directly, how much decoration cost is needed?"

"one million!"Lingzi reported the number without politeness.

Liu Xiaobao really smiled this time.

"one million? Reiko, can you not kill me like a pig? In a place like Tokyo, even if the corners are completely rimmed with gold, it won’t cost more than 1 million to decorate it, right? But if you want to do a good business, I will still support you. Let's do this. Tomorrow I will ask my uncle to transfer 200,000 to you, and you can do some decoration, and then start the business well."

At this time, Reiko also laughed:"Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, for decoration, there are ways to decorate with less money. Don't worry, I will definitely make Night Tokyo better than those restaurants on Huanghe Road."
