Suzhou China.
At the Qin Palace construction site on the west side of Sun Mountain, which was already in full swing, Chen Qing and several followers got off the car in the parking lot and walked towards two other women who drove up not far away at about the same time.
Walking in front was Zhu Momo's mother, Mo Yiling, who had just been in office for a week.
Even if it’s not the first time I’ve met each other, every time I see this woman who not only has a perfect oval face and a tall figure of nearly 1.8 meters, but also has an outgoing temperament that can make the onlookers with poor psychological quality feel ashamed. Chen Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The more she got to know in private, the more Chen Qing discovered that if this woman was given a sufficient platform to perform, she would definitely not only reach the level of executive deputy county magistrate of a remote small county after so many years.
However, it is obvious that for a woman, especially a woman in the system, it is not a good thing at all to be too beautiful and outstanding. The Mo family has been trapped in that remote small county for so many years, and there is also the factor of pursuing love and hatred. That was the best opportunity for the Mo family to reconcile with their enemies. Unfortunately, Mo Yiling's character is too tough. .
In any case, it is now in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing's smile became even warmer and more affectionate when she greeted Mo Yiling: "Aunt Mo, I'm so sorry. I was in Dongguan last week and couldn't express my congratulations to you in person."
"It's okay," Mo Yiling was obviously not used to Chen Qing's greeting pattern of opening her arms for a hug, so she didn't give in. She took a step back and just stretched out a fair and delicate hand to hold the hand that Chen Qing reluctantly extended. Little Hand said, "Besides, you'd better stop calling me Aunt Mo."
Chen Qing's eyebrows were curved: "Momo and I are good friends. If I don't call you Aunt Mo, I can't call you Sister Mo. That would be wrong in terms of seniority."
Mo Yiling instinctively didn't want to get too close to this girl, and even wanted to warn her daughter not to get too close to her, saying, "You can call me Deputy District Chief Mo."
Chen Qing seemed unaware of Mo Yiling's indifference and continued: "It's so awkward to shout like deputy district chief. Then I'll call you leader."
Mo Yiling was noncommittal, which was regarded as the acquiescence.
"Then, Aunt Mo, let's go over there. The person in charge here is already waiting for us."
“…”
Mo Yiling was a little speechless. He did not continue to struggle with the title, and walked with Chen Qing to the construction site where a large number of construction workers and engineering machinery were in full swing.
As a key project that the provincial government has paid attention to, and the land selected by the Qin Palace does not have demolition problems that may delay it, the project progresses very quickly. It only took more than half a month to start, and the 1,000-acre land located in the hilly area is Most of it has been leveled out.
After all, it is not a real palace that was built for decades in ancient times. Coupled with the assistance of a large number of modern construction machinery, although both Jinshu Film and Television City and Director Chen, who will be the first to use this filming location, have very high requirements for the construction of the project. High, it is expected that the complete construction period of this palace complex will only take two years.
Director Chen's filming of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" will be available next year, including the follow-up "Hero" by Zhang Guoshi.
Unfinished parts can be built while filming.
Jinshu Film and Television City has no intention of making do in this regard. After all, it will still be used as a tourist attraction in the future.
Accompanied by the person in charge of the project, the two women walked around the dusty construction site. Neither of them were squeamish women. They were not affected by the harsh environment around them or even the strange looks of some workers. Finally, they walked to a tree. On the hill where the weeds had been cleared but the mounds had not been removed, Mo Yiling finally talked about something serious while looking at the construction site in his field of vision.
"I recently read the information on the project here. Huqiu Cultural Tourism Holding Group, a state-owned shell company under the municipal government, used land to invest in Jinshu Film and Television City's parent company Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group, holding only 10% of the shares. Chen Qing, don’t you think it’s too little?”
Feeling Mo Yiling's slightly aggressive tone, Chen Qing blinked her eyes and seemed aggrieved: "Aunt Mo, the city government originally planned to sell us the land for 600 yuan an acre. They said that if the Qin Palace were to be sold according to the Calculated at 600 yuan, if we really want to buy it, we only need to invest 600,000 yuan. Now, based on our investment scale of 200 million yuan in Qin Palace, the city government will get 10% of the shares, which is equivalent to a price of 20 million yuan. I don’t understand why you still want to buy it. Feel low?”
"If it's just the Qin Palace, of course there is no problem." Mo Yiling was not moved by Chen Qing's pitiful expression at all, shaking his head and said: "At that time, according to the plan of Jinshu Film and Television City and the agreement reached between you and the city government, the follow-up was This ratio, and in this area, further to the west, is a lot of farmland and villages and towns. The demolition and land acquisition in the agreement are the obligations of the municipal government. If you calculate it again, 10% is not enough. At least you need more Pay a resettlement fee. In addition, you have only made a general promise regarding the employment of landless farmers, which is definitely not acceptable. I need a detailed charter."
"Aunt Mo, these are all things for the future. The focus now is the Qin Palace. Although we have far-reaching plans, if the Qin Palace project does not go smoothly, many subsequent plans will be out of the question."
"No," Mo Yiling turned to look at Chen Qing and said, "I have read some meeting memos. You mentioned here that if there is only one Qin Palace, it cannot support a complete film and television industry and tourism industry chain. Therefore, I think we should start planning the follow-up projects now, and even start implementing them at the same time as the Qin Palace is being built."
Chen Qing blinked, then blinked again, and said bitterly: "Aunt Mo, your appetite is too big."
With the consent of her boss, Chen Qing invited Mo Yiling here to ensure that the Jinshu Film and Television City project here could be promoted smoothly. However, what this woman wanted now was obviously not to advance slowly, but to... .
"The total investment of 2 billion is equivalent to less than 300 million U.S. dollars, and Daenerys Entertainment's investment in the Rome Universal Studios built in Italy alone reached 1 billion U.S. dollars. These are the exact words you and Senior Official Wang said," Mo Yiling remained unmoved: "So, 300 million US dollars is a piece of cake for the Westeros system that now has tens of billions of dollars in cash, isn't it?"
Chen Qing didn't expect that Mo Yiling could even find out about this kind of conversation without written records. She no longer showed weakness and pretended to be pitiful, but her tone was still soft: "Aunt Mo, these are not decisions that I can make. Besides, don't look at it. The Qin Palace was launched so smoothly. In order to restore the Xianyang Palace of the Qing Dynasty to the greatest extent, Director Chen found a team that took 4 years from collecting information to completing the design. If this kind of thing is too rushed and the things produced are nondescript, you can definitely think of it. as a result of."
"Director Chen is not a professional. He just used his free time to do this. He had very few resources at his disposal, so it only took four years. Now, as long as we want to do it, we can spend a lifetime studying ancient architecture in various universities. You can find a lot of experts and professors at any time, and I also know that you have registered a Jinshu Ancient Architectural Design Institute here. Isn't that what it does?" After Mo Yiling said this, he did not continue to press Chen. Qing said instead: "I know you have no decision-making power, so I hope you can contact Mr. Simon Westeros and let him decide for himself."
Chen Qing was like an obedient primary school student: "Okay, Aunt Mo."
Mo Yiling did not let her go, and quickly brought up another matter: "Chen Qing, I also discovered that around Jinshu Film and Television City, you have also registered Jinshu Artist Agency Company and Jinshu Ancient Style Cultural Performance. Company, Jinshu Hotel and Catering Company, and other companies that are obviously related to the film and television city, Chen Qing, don’t you think this is too obvious?”
"What's wrong with any of this?"
"Since they are affiliated companies attached to Jinshu Film and Television City, I think these companies should be owned by Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group and the municipal government should share the shares."
"Aunt Mo, I don't deny that these companies will depend on Jinshu Film and Television City in the future. However, if they want to start operations, they still need funds and team support. Jinshu Film and Television City is owned by the municipal government with land, so it is understandable to get 10% of the shares. , and these other companies are entirely our own resources.”
"If you feel it is necessary, the city government will of course inject capital in proportion."
Chen Qing couldn't help but question: "The city government has not been well off in recent years. Are you sure you have money?"
"I have recently talked with the leaders of several banks in the city. If it is a project here, they will be happy to lend money."
Chen Qing was speechless for a moment.
We don't have such a blank slate.
Mo Yiling was indifferent to Chen Qing's expression and said: "I have recently learned about some Western theme parks. Catering, hotels, and performances are a very important part of their revenue. In any case, you cannot separate these from the film and television city. Come on."
Chen Qing couldn't help but look at Mo Yiling's flawless face that showed no age at all, and complained in her heart: Sister, how much have you learned in just a few days? Have you slept
After thinking about it, Chen Qing finally said: "Aunt Mo, in fact, we have never thought about monopolizing these companies. If you have really done some research, you should find that we do not hold 100% of the shares in most of the companies in the Jinshu family. .”
"I know, but just like theater companies, you have to do this mainly because of national policy restrictions."
"I mean, it's not the time to talk about that yet."
"I think it's time to talk," Mo Yiling said without giving in. "Or, Chen Qing, do you want to get entangled in the future after the project is started? You have to know that in recent years, many domestic companies have suffered from this kind of problem. The situation arises due to entanglement.”
"Okay, I need to talk to my boss first."
"I'm waiting for your good news," Mo Yiling nodded and said, "Also, for the next project, I think we can reverse it and start with the Ming and Qing style."
Chen Qing finally couldn't help but said teasingly: "Aunt Mo, have you understood this?"
Mo Yiling glanced at Chen Qing, who was finally exposed, but didn't mind. Instead, he said: "This is my personal suggestion. I found that in recent years, there are a large proportion of Ming and Qing dramas in costume film and television works, just like this year's " "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that Momo told me is currently being filmed. Of course, I will not be an outsider instructing an expert on this matter, it also depends on your plans."
"The trend of film and television is actually constantly changing, and any subject matter may become popular," Chen Qing felt that she had finally found something she knew a little better about, and said, "For Jinshu Film and Television City, the key to the matter is that we It is necessary to build a complete and efficient film and television industry chain. The peripheral companies we just mentioned were all registered for this purpose. As long as the film and television industry is perfect enough, when the time comes, it will naturally attract film crews to come here. A large number of film crews filmed Only after film and television works carry out large-scale publicity for the film and television city can we go a step further to attract tourists and develop the tourism industry. Therefore, we cannot just do whatever we think, we must do it step by step."
Mo Yiling followed the good advice: "It makes sense."
The two chatted for a while, then walked down the mound again, talking about various things while continuing to walk around the construction site and watch.
They stayed at the construction site for more than an hour before leaving together.
Returning to the district government, Mo Yiling temporarily organized a mini seminar and took the small team he had quickly built recently to discuss various issues with Chen Qing until get off work in the evening.
Inviting Mo Yiling to have a meal was to no avail, so Chen Qing left with her entourage.
As soon as she got in the car, Chen Qing's weak temperament in front of Mo Yiling was gone. She recalled the various meetings with Mo Yiling throughout the afternoon, and overall she was quite satisfied.
It obviously didn't live up to expectations either.
What is satisfying is that Mo Yiling's resolute character and his ability to quickly grasp the situation in the district government are enough to help the smooth advancement of the Jinshu Film and Television City project. What failed to meet expectations was that this strong woman clearly had no intention of getting too close to the Westeros system, and even seemed to deliberately draw a clear line.
It was obvious that although he accepted the operation of the Westeros system, Mo Yiling was obviously wary of this side.
The sixth sense is super sharp.
However, now that we have entered the situation, Aunt Mo, there are some things she cannot help herself with.
Chen Qing thought so, curled her lips, and asked the female guard in the front row to drive to a hotel in the west of the city and make an appointment for a dinner in advance. Mainly due to instructions from her boss, the person in charge of a company called Carlyle Fund recently came to China to negotiate projects. This is another shell of Westeros system investment, allowing her to get in touch and chat casually.
It was less than half past six when we arrived at our destination, and the appointed time was seven o'clock.
Chen Qing's time is not so free.
There are other arrangements.
As soon as he entered a hotel room that he had booked in advance, Jiang Shanwu, who had been completely tamed by Chen Qing and turned into his little follower, walked in with a young girl wearing a pink jacket and white trousers.
This is a girl in her twenties, with shoulder-length black hair and a face that looks very innocent at first glance, making people easily think of her female classmates in middle school. However, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that although the girl acted very restrained after entering the door, her eyes wandered around, and finally landed on Chen Qing, and then quickly converged.
Chen Qing temporarily sent away the other maids, leaving only Jiang Shanwu. This time he looked at the girl in front of him and was very satisfied, but couldn't help but say: "This dress is too tacky."
When the girl heard this, she seemed to flinch, and couldn't help but glance at the Chanel suit Chen Qing was wearing. She didn't know what Chanel was, but the girl in front of her didn't talk about her status and temperament. Indeed, just that suit was enough to make her feel ashamed. , and extremely envious.
"Remember to help her take care of it," Chen Qing told Jiang Shanwu, then looked at the girl: "Shen Yue, right?"
The girl nodded quickly and asked, "Hello, is this Miss?"
Chen Qing smiled and didn't mean to introduce herself. She just added: "The name Shen Yue is also a bit crude, and although the news about you seducing the leaders of the unit and being beaten up did not spread here, you still have to change your identity. Let me think about it. , let's call it Shen, um, Li Ge, Shen Li Ge, the 'Li' in leaving, the 'Ge' in singing, this is good, very literary, that person likes literature and art. I suddenly discovered that I am better than the boss The talent of the name, tsk.”
Jiang Shanwu, who was standing nearby obediently, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The girl whose name had been changed immediately heard Chen Qing talk about her private life, her eyes immediately turned red, and she retorted in a low voice: "I didn't seduce him, it was him, he is the section chief, I can't help it."
"It's none of my business," Chen Qing shrugged, "I just want to give you a job. Come be a teacher in a middle school here and seduce your principal. Are you willing to do it?"
The girl shook her head directly: "I don't," and then turned around: "I, I think I should go."
"Oh, let's go then."
The girl half twisted her body, tears falling down. She made no move, paused, and then whispered: "After I seduced, um, can I continue to be a teacher, the kind that has a system?"
"Of course, maybe you can let him marry you and become the principal's wife, but by then, you will have to show your current acting skills," Chen Qing nodded, took out a photo and handed it over. : "Let's take a look. He's a very handsome man. Although he's a lot older than you, it's not a disadvantage."
The girl paused, then stepped forward, picked up the photo and took a look. He was indeed a very elegant and handsome man.
"Are you very satisfied?" Chen Qing asked again, but the other party naturally didn't answer or pursue it. He said, "That's it. I've changed my identity recently and can join the job within a month. I'm looking forward to it." Good news to hear from you.”
The girl put down the photo and asked in a low voice: "I... don't know who you are yet?"
Chen Qing seemed to have thought of something again, and while talking to herself, she gestured to Jiang Shanwu and said, "I almost forgot. If you want the horse to run, you must give it to grass."
As Chen Qing said, Jiang Shanwu had already taken out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them over.
"This is 20,000 yuan. Once the matter is done, there will be another 20,000 yuan," Chen Qing said. "If it doesn't work out, since I can put you in that school, I can also let you go back and forth wherever you want," said Chen Qing. Finally, he told Jiang Shanwu: "Take her away. Don't forget to take care of her. It's too tacky."
After the two of them left, Chen Qing also picked up the photo again, tilted her head to look at it, and murmured to herself: "No wonder Momo's face has hard lines. This is obviously inherited from his father." After saying that, he put away the photo and held on. He looked at the large round dining table and seemed to look into the distance: "The boss is so lucky to meet such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket like me."
