"You're saying that this guy named Ye Chen is eyeing the piece of cake that is our Qiantong Plaza? Just because he acquired Hengda Cinemas? What kind of logic is that?"
It was the same highly respected elder who had always taken Wang Shaocong's side. With these words, he voiced the confusion and incomprehension shared by everyone present.
"First, I'd like to ask you all a question: given Ye Chen's current fortune, do you think a mere cinema chain could satisfy his appetite? That's the first question. The second question is: since he has chosen to enter the cinema industry, the model he adopts will definitely be our Qiantong Cinemas model—a self-contained model that covers the entire cinema ecological chain. Take the cinemas downstream of the cinema chain, for instance; he won't and can't operate them purely independently, nor is it possible for him to place those cinemas inside other commercial complexes. Yet, ruling out these two possibilities, his plan is undoubtedly clear: to follow our Qiantong model by anchoring the downstream cinemas of the chain to his own commercial complexes!"
