Suzhou, near Taiyang Mountain in the western suburbs of the city.
This was already the second day after Chen Qing returned to Suzhou. After Simon made his choice, the girl acted resolutely and quickly summoned all the people in charge related to Jinshu Film and Television City to Suzhou, and began to promote substantive projects with the city government. .
Today's battle is even bigger.
After learning the details of the Suzhou Municipal Government's Jinshu Film and Television City project, the province specially sent a senior official in charge of cultural tourism and other related industries to inspect it. Mainly because of the Westeros system background behind this project. In addition, there is also the factor of Chen Qing's mediation.
After all, the more levels of official support this project receives, the smoother its subsequent advancement will be.
Chen Qing is much more familiar with these aspects than her boss. In the past two years, with someone's tiger skin and corresponding resources, she has unknowingly weaved an intricate network of connections.
Government officials at all levels, Jinshu Department executives, accompanying TV stations and even the director of the first film Qin Palace, Chen Dao, who was scheduled to be the first project, got off the car and gathered at a selected plot on the west side of Sun Mountain. Chen Qing took it for granted. He took over the job of project manager and personally explained to leaders at all levels of the province and city.
"According to our plan, the Qin Palace is expected to cover an area of 1,000 acres, with an investment of 200 million yuan. Taking the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty as a template, the planned construction area will be no less than 100,000 square meters, including at least 25 palaces of various types and a Qin and Han style ancient city streets. Currently, the project has been scheduled for "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" with an investment of 70 million yuan by Director Chen and "Hero" with an investment of 30 million US dollars by Director Zhang. This is just the beginning. After the completion of the first phase of the project, we will also In accordance with the historical sequence, we will build antique historical parks in the styles of Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, etc., with a planned total investment of no less than 2 billion yuan and a development cycle of 10 years.”
Chen Qing walked side by side with several government bosses around her and talked eloquently.
As soon as he said these words, a senior official named Wang next to him smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, I am sure about this Qin Palace project. When I came here, I had seen in advance the plan that Director Chen had spent several years designing. The drawings, to be honest, are very majestic. However, you said that you plan to invest 2 billion in development over 10 years. Are you trying to spread the pie for us?"
Senior official Wang's tone was half-joking, and everyone around him laughed along with him.
Chen Qing also showed a standard dimple smile, shook her head and said: "Of course not, Chief, 2 billion, which is actually less than 300 million US dollars. Daenerys Entertainment is currently building the Rome Universal Studios in Italy, with a total investment of $1 billion."
Senior official Wang nodded, suddenly changed the topic, and asked: "By the way, why didn't Miss Lin Su come with you this time?"
"Lin Su is in Hong Kong now, regarding China Telecom. Chief, you know, this is the first time our country's telecommunications industry has gone abroad, and it is an important cooperation with the Westeros system. Even Simon attaches great importance to it. , I talked to Simon yesterday, and he specifically mentioned this matter," Chen Qing said, hesitating a little, and then added: "Actually, Chief, regarding the Forbes list, Asuben and I It should be the same, because we both hold the same share of Scoop stock, but Simon felt that the two of us on the list together would look too conspicuous, so he only listed Asu."
Everyone around them couldn't help but cheer up when they heard Chen Qing mentioning someone. Now when they heard Chen Qing mentioning that she actually had the same share of assets as Lin Su, they were surprised and confused. A bit excited.
Even Senior Official Wang, who was strolling around in the courtyard, couldn't help but slow down his pace, looked at Chen Qing, shook his head, smiled, and asked: "So, Xiao Chen, you are now a super rich man?"
"They are just stocks. Just like those technology stocks in the United States now, there is a certain bubble," Chen Qing explained without changing her face: "As for cash, there is actually not that much. Just like Simon, although "Forbes" said that his He has a net worth of US$1.5 trillion, but the maximum cash he can use in a short period of time is only tens of billions of US dollars, and most stocks cannot be cashed out, otherwise the stock market will collapse.”
Everyone around him was stunned again.
However, Senior Official Wang smiled again as before, did not pursue further, and returned to the original topic: "I also learned in advance that the Three Kingdoms City built by CCTV in Wuxi for filming "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been opened in recent years. In addition to being a The filming location did earn a lot of ticket money, but for you, just the Qin Palace requires 1,000 acres, plus the follow-up, isn’t the scale too big?”
"Of course not," Chen Qing said resolutely: "Chief, it's not that Jinshu Film and Television City's plan is too big, it's mainly that CCTV's film and television base in Wuxi is too small, and, with all due respect, CCTV's management of Three Kingdoms City in Wuxi , the techniques are very extensive and have not formed a reasonable business model at all. For Jinshu Film and Television City, we will introduce the management experience of American film and television theme parks. Just like Universal Studios in Los Angeles, this film and television city only meets the needs of Dan. While Daenerys Entertainment is filming a large number of film and television projects, it can also attract millions of tourists every year. According to the information I learned recently, Daenerys Entertainment just ended a fiscal year cycle in September, and the past 12 In just one month, the Universal Studios in Los Angeles attracted more than 7 million tourists from around the world, with cumulative revenue of 1.1 billion US dollars, equivalent to 9.5 billion yuan."
In addition to senior official Wang present, the officials of the Suzhou Municipal Government had actually heard Chen Qing's remarks in advance, otherwise they would not have concocted a "shoulder pole plan" in just one month.
But at this time, hearing Chen Qing say this again, the people around him couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Not to mention the annual income of nearly 10 billion yuan, if this area is developed in the future, even if it can only achieve half of the output value, it will be a major achievement for all the officials present to promote this project.
When Senior Official Wang heard what Chen Qing said, he looked calm on the surface, but he said: "There is still a gap between our country and the United States. Can't we compare?"
Chen Qing did not refute again this time, but nodded slightly, and then said: "Chief, in fact, the development of the United States has reached a bottleneck, but we in China still have unlimited potential. It is expected that our country's GDP growth this year will reach 17%, which is an eye-catching result on a global scale. In fact, it means the rapid improvement of the living standards of our people. Behind this improvement, it represents the demand for culture and entertainment in addition to basic material needs. , the Jinshu Film and Television City project can exactly meet this point. Just as you just mentioned that the Three Kingdoms City is very popular, this already shows that our country's cultural tourism industry has great potential."
Senior Official Wang nodded slightly and said, "You just said that the development cycle of the project will be 10 years?"
"Yes," Chen Qing certainly understood the subtext of this sentence. This is also a certain instinct of China's current ruling officials. Because they cannot stay in one place for a long time, they often pursue short-term benefits. Chen Qing also considered this and said: "The tourism attribute of Jinshu Film and Television City needs to be cultivated slowly. It may not be effective in the short term, but the film and television industry attribute itself is immediate. Just like the Qin Palace, it has already locked in two directors, Director Chen and Director Zhang. For large investment projects, we also need to refer to foreign experience.”
Senior official Wang showed just the right expression of curiosity.
Chen Qing whetted everyone's appetite a little, and continued: "Everyone knows that Hollywood is in the United States, but in fact, Hollywood film shooting has been migrating overseas in recent years, such as Canada or Australia, and countries such as Canada and Australia, in order to attract Film projects have introduced very generous tax rebate conditions. As far as I know, in Australia, the current average tax rebate ratio can reach 15%. For a film with an investment of US$100 million, the government can provide a direct cash subsidy of US$15 million. Why do they do this? Because these film and television projects can stimulate the growth of various local industries. Just like a US$100 million film production fund, as long as it is produced locally, it is digested in the local area, which is equivalent to being integrated into the local GDP. middle."
At this point, Chen Qing paused briefly. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, she quickly continued: "As for us, Jinshu Film and Television City has only been completed. It does not need to be cultivated slowly like the tourism industry. As long as it is operated properly, in the short term It can bring real economic benefits. After all, although our domestic film industry is somewhat sluggish, the television industry is booming. Hundreds of TV series need to be shot every year. As long as they can be attracted, these crews The money spent will naturally be integrated into our local economy. In addition, there are jobs. In addition to the jobs brought by the film and television city itself, the completion of the project will also stimulate employment in surrounding accommodation, catering, transportation and other aspects. Even for extras, the ability to digest this aspect is even stronger, because a film and television drama often requires hundreds of extras, and they are needed by all ages. Therefore, around the film and television city, to put it mildly, as long as it is Anyone who is capable will be able to find a job within the film and television industry chain in the future."
At a time when the reform of state-owned enterprises is in full swing and a large number of workers have been laid off, the employment issue is also a focus of attention of governments at all levels. If it is done well, it is also a political achievement.
Chen Qing's topic was closely related to 'GDP' and 'employment'. A big pie accurately revealed the two key points that everyone at the scene was most concerned about.
The on-site inspection process only lasted half an hour, and during this half hour, most of the time was spent by Chen Qing talking about the lotus flowers, and the people around him who were encouraged to look forward to the future.
Immediately, everyone changed positions and returned to the city for another hour-long symposium.
Senior official Wang, whose mood was also aroused by Chen Qing, personally asked if there were still problems with the advancement of the project.
Of course, this point cannot be perfect, but Chen Qing did not bring it up in person, looking very satisfied. After all, it is of course best to leave the issue to be discussed at home.
In the end, it was senior official Wang who discovered the problem himself. He believed that the Qin Palace was built in a hilly area on the west side of Taiyang Mountain, 20 kilometers away from the city, which seemed a bit remote. He suggested that the project be moved to a flat area on the east side to make construction more convenient.
Chen Qing politely declined the good intention of Senior Official Wang and explained seriously that this was first of all to respond to the country's call and not occupy cultivated land (actually doing so was more conducive to obtaining approval quickly), and the earthworks and rocks in the hilly areas also facilitated the on-site construction of a series of projects. Draw materials.
In addition, the distance of 20 kilometers is actually just right. It only takes more than ten minutes to drive from the city. Moreover, the Qin Palace is just the beginning. Next, as long as everything goes well, the area to the west of Sun Mountain will reach 50 square kilometers. All will become potential development areas. If it is moved to the east of Sun Mountain, the land will definitely not be enough, and there may be competition with municipal construction.
After listening to Chen Qing's explanation, Senior Official Wang highly praised the overall consideration of Jinshu Film and Television City.
Then comes the luncheon at noon.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that everyone left happily.
But of course it's not the end.
To be precise, everything has just begun.
After everyone sent away Senior Official Wang and returned to the city hall, a group of people directly in charge held a small meeting with several senior officials of the Jinshu Department.
Discuss the next plan and some important personnel appointments.
Speaking of which, although there are accurate administrative divisions near Taiyang Mountain, there has never been an accurate area name in recent years. It is just generally called "Suzhou Suburbs".
Since we plan to carry out vigorous development, we must not continue to be so vague.
Therefore, after a short discussion, the city government decided to make it clear that this area should be renamed 'Huqiu District', which was actually the later name of the original time and space. Many people have started to call it that in recent years, so it is logical.
On the other hand, it’s personnel matters.
In the past few years, Suzhou's development focus was on the industrial park in the eastern suburbs, so the location there was naturally popular. In the suburbs of Suzhou in the west, it was inevitable that grandma would not love his uncle.
Now, with the plan of large-scale development and promotion of the pole pattern, the location here has become very popular immediately.
Even though it has the care of the provincial government and it is a project that the top leaders of the city government are pushing hard, Chen Qing understands that the devil is easy to deal with, so he also plans to put his own people here.
The candidate has been chosen very early.
Best wishes to Momo’s mother, Mo Yiling.
Therefore, after the closed-door meeting in the afternoon, Chen Qing also successfully obtained the position of deputy district chief. There was no fight for the top district chief. This was the result of repeated deliberation. After all, that position was too eye-catching, so it would be enough to install someone with enough voice.
In this way, until the evening, after leaving the city hall, Chen Qing and several other executives of the Jinshu Department made an appointment for a meeting tomorrow morning. As soon as they got into the car, they skillfully took out their mobile phones and dialed the number of Zhu Momo's mother. .
The call was quickly connected.
Chen Qing came straight to the point. There was a suitable position for the other party here. Although they were both at the deputy director level, they were transferred from a remote small county in Yunnan to a coastal prefecture-level city. Not only did they break out of the circle where the Mo family was suppressed, but they also had the opportunity to gain success as soon as they came here. The character of Blessing Momo's mother is displayed. Even if she realizes that there are other tricks in it, she is unlikely to refuse.
In the end, Mo Yiling did not agree immediately, but just said that he needed to think about it.
After all, in their small county town, she can be said to be the backbone of the Mo family and the one with the biggest official hat.
What do a group of brothers and sisters do once they leave
Chen Qing also accurately guessed the other party's thoughts. At the end of the phone call, she said that their entire family could be arranged. The Westeros system has such strength, and then only gave the other party one night to think about it.
