Michael: 我认为购买这个喜剧俱乐部就像买一个酒吧,主要收入来源是酒水销售和门票分成,喜剧表演本身并非主要收入来源。 我认为350万美元的要价过高,除非他们有10到15年的演出预订计划。 拥有一个酒吧是一件很糟糕的事情,因为顾客和员工都可能存在问题,而且执法部门的监管也比较严格。我个人不会购买这个类型的生意,除非价格非常低。 我认为喜剧行业是一个非常好的行业,只要能够吸引观众,就能获得巨大的利润。 Chelsea: 我认为这个生意更像是一个预定的演出计划,而不是一个剧院本身,因为剧院房产并不在出售范围内。 除非这个喜剧俱乐部已经预订了大量的演出,否则购买它就意味着你需要自己寻找演出资源,主要收入来源将是酒水销售和门票分成。 因为这个生意不包含房产,所以购买它更像是买一些新椅子和屏幕,以及一个希望已预订好的演出计划。 我认为350万美元的要价过高,没有足够的价值杠杆来支持这么高的倍数。 我不确定购买这个生意到底买了什么,因为它实际上只是一个演出计划,以及一些顾客名单,可能还有一些合同。 我认为进入这个行业的壁垒非常低,因为你可以租用场地,而不需要购买房产。 我认为这个列表描述的生意很普通,缺乏独特的卖点。 我认为他们要价过高,实际上只是在卖一个带有娱乐设施的酒吧。 我认为在这个类型的喜剧俱乐部中,酒水销售才是主要的收入来源,而不是喜剧表演本身。 你需要考虑你是否想经营一家需要你周末和晚上工作的酒吧。
