Chapter 199: Human Relations

On June 1st, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Tenda Technology Group, the largest Internet company in China, has ushered in an important moment in its development history: the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the relocation to the new workplace has been grandly opened.

This newly-built high-tech building looks even more majestic and spectacular in the morning light.

The square in front of the building is decorated with lights and flags, and various flowers are dotted around, creating a festive and warm atmosphere.

At nine o'clock in the morning, with bursts of salutes and cheerful music, the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially kicked off.

The most remarkable thing is that despite their busy schedules, many official leaders still found time to visit the scene. Their presence undoubtedly added more weight and brilliance to this ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Several senior leaders dressed in formal attire, with smiles on their faces and steady steps entered the scene. Their style and demeanor became the focus of everyone's attention.

Following the host's enthusiastic introduction, leaders took turns to speak on stage, expressing their best wishes and expectations for the future development of Tengda Group.

Afterwards, the exciting ribbon-cutting session began. Several leaders and Song Ci held golden scissors and jointly cut the ribbon for this new workplace building that carries the company's dreams and hopes.

It means that Tengda Group will set sail from a new starting point and open a more glorious chapter.

The 39th floor of the Science and Technology Building is the office of several core senior executives of the group, and Song Ci’s chairman’s office is located here.

After the grand and meaningful ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new workplace relocation, Song Ci returned to his spacious, bright and magnificent new office exhausted.

He walked straight to the sofa, raised his hand to slightly loosen the bow tie around his neck, and let out a long sigh.

Zhang Yong and Wang Jing followed closely behind, their expressions also revealed a bit of fatigue, and the three of them sat down on the sofa in the reception room tacitly.

Song Ci leaned back, his whole body sinking into the soft sofa, and sighed with relief: "It's finally over. I'm exhausted both physically and mentally! Now that the leader has left, we can rest assured!"

Although a ribbon-cutting ceremony does not take long, he accompanied the leader throughout the entire process. He had to be cautious at all times, and was cautious in what he said and did, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

This kind of occasion tests not only your physical strength, but more importantly the psychological pressure. You have to be tense throughout the whole process and dare not relax for a moment.

Wang Jing nodded in empathy. As the person in charge of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, she knew the hardships involved best.

With so many leaders coming, including several senior officials, the security work alone is like a heavy burden on their shoulders.

There is a large number of people coming and going on site and the process is complicated. Any small detail may hide hidden dangers and there is no room for any mistakes. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Finally we made it through!" Zhang Yong also sighed. When dealing with these leaders, they have a strong aura and they have to be careful with their words and actions and be careful to serve as a foil.

I was in a state of high mental tension, and now that I had relaxed, a surge of fatigue came over me.

After calming down, Song Ci showed a bit of joy on his face.

"Although the chief minister has been very busy recently and is in charge of Olympic-related affairs, he still took time out to come to the site, which really gave us face."

Zhang Yong echoed, "That's true. It shows that the leaders are still very optimistic about our Tengda Group."

The leaders attach great importance to it, and the subordinates will also look up to Tengda. It will be more convenient for the company's people to go to the relevant departments to do business.

When Song Ci mentioned this, his eyes sparkled: "The chief just praised the company for donating 100 million yuan to the disaster relief cause! It shows that what we do in normal times is seen by the superiors."

When a major disaster occurred last month, Tengda Group took the lead in donating 100 million yuan, shocking the whole country.

Affected by the financial crisis, the global economy is now in a downturn and countless companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. However, Tengda Group has generously donated money and assumed the social responsibility of a large enterprise.

This thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated by the leaders above.

This time, Song Ci was able to show off his talents in front of the people of the whole country and gained the title of a philanthropic entrepreneur.

After some sighing, Song Ci sat up straight, looked serious, and cast his eyes on Zhang Yong: "By the way, Lao Zhang, there is an important matter that you need to do in person.

The leader has just nodded his approval. The Beiping government will take the lead in opening an official account on Weibo. You will contact the relevant departments in Beiping tomorrow to implement this matter as soon as possible. "

Zhang Yong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Great! This is great news. If Liu Yan knew about this, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams."

He naturally understood the significance of this matter. The official support for Tengda Weibo, especially with the capital government taking the lead, its influence is self-evident, and other regions will inevitably follow suit in the future.

In this way, Tenda Weibo will have more official and authoritative attributes, which will be enough to crush other companies' products in the fiercely competitive social arena. The pattern of Weibo competition will be rewritten, setting off a major industry revolution.

"In two months, the world-renowned Olympic Games will open, and participating athletes, especially those who are expected to win championships and medals, should hurry up and open Weibo accounts.

After the Olympics, I want this Weibo dispute to come to an end!" Song Ci looked confident, ambitious, and his eyes sparkled with determination.

Today, there are nearly 250 million Internet users in China, and the number of Tenda Weibo users has exceeded 60 million, accounting for a quarter of the country's Internet users. The number of users far exceeds that of all similar products.

Even with QQ traffic, Penguin Weibo's user scale cannot compete with Tenda's. All it takes is one hot event that attracts the attention of people across the country to completely establish Tenda Weibo's victory.

Zhang Yong nodded and promised carefully: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, this matter has been handled intensively."

Zhang Yong was a steady worker who rarely made mistakes. Song Ci always trusted him and said nothing more after giving him instructions. He turned to Wang Jing and asked:

"Sister Jing, CCTV Director Jiang contacted me by phone some time ago and said that Mr. Han Sanye of Huaying had contacted him. He was entrusted by Huayi Company and hoped that Tengda Culture and Southern Cinema Line could cooperate more with Huayi."

Wang Jing was surprised and asked in confusion, "Huayi is also a giant company in Beijing and has always kept to itself. Why did Mr. Han come forward on behalf of Huayi and even ask Director Jiang for help?"

Song Ci patiently explained: "Huayi will be listed next year. Once it is successfully listed, it will be the first private film and television stock.

In recent years, the government has vigorously supported the development of the entertainment industry, hoping to have a model film and television company. Huayi has deep roots in the Beijing circle, has extensive connections, and is favored by the leaders. I hope they can successfully go public.

However, the blockbuster "The Forbidden Kingdom" suffered losses. If Huayi wants to go public smoothly, it must show outstanding performance in the future.

Mr. Han Sanye meant that Tengda Culture and Huayi are both leaders in the Beijing circle, and cooperation is beneficial to both sides. Let us help Huayi at a critical moment. "

Wang Jing was thoughtful and instantly realized the core of the matter. The higher-ups wanted to set up an example, but the only companies that were qualified to do so were Tengda Culture, Huayi, Guangxian and a few others.

Since Tengda Culture is not going public for the time being, Huayi, one of the core companies in the Beijing circle, is the first choice.

"How does Third Master want us to help you?"

Song Ci frowned slightly. He actually had no feelings for Hua Yi, but he had to give face to Director Jiang and Mr. Han San, at least he had to show some attitude.

This is how the world works. Today I give you a hand, and tomorrow you give me a hand. The Beijing circle is a place where you are in me and I am in you. The base of Tengda Culture is Beijing Film Studio, and it also has close ties with Huayi.

After much deliberation, he made a decision: "Sister Jing, tell Zhang Zhao and Liu Rong that in future Tengda dramas, you can appropriately use Huayi's people.

Also, before the listing, Southern Cinemas took some care in the screening schedule of films produced by Huayi Company.

But remember, all assistance to Huayi is limited to Tengda Culture and Southern Cinemas, and don’t even think about the group’s resources.

You can go and negotiate with Mr. Han San and be polite. I will not get involved in this matter."

Wang Jing nodded: "I'll remember that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ci recalled the skyrocketing stock price of Huayi after its listing, and hurriedly added:

"The company is not doing charity, and we can't help for free. Ask Huayi to give up a few percentage points of its shares."

Wang Jing immediately chuckled, with a shrewd look on her face, “Then I’m afraid the Wang brothers would be more than happy to have that.

They are currently launching a star stock ownership plan, hoping to boost the confidence of shareholders after the listing. We are willing to invest, so how can Huayi refuse? "

"That's right! Sister Jing, Lao Zhang, if you have spare money, you can buy some shares of Huayi now, it's a sure profit." Song Ci made a suggestion, which was considered a benefit for his left and right arms.

He remembered very clearly that Huayi was very successful after its listing, with its stock price soaring all the way and its market value exceeding 80 billion at its peak.

If you buy shares now and sell them after listing, you can make at least dozens of times the profit. Such opportunities for huge profits are rare.

"Mr. Song, are you so optimistic about Huayi?" Zhang Yong, who had been listening silently without saying anything, couldn't help but asked in surprise.

The last time the chairman was so confident in asserting that stocks could make money was when Shanda's boss Chen acquired Xinlang Company, which led to a sharp rise in stock prices. He listened to Song Ci's advice at the time and made a small profit, tasting some sweetness.

Now the chairman strongly recommended Huayi Company's shares, and they were unlisted original shares. Naturally, he was very excited and his eyes were eager to try.

Wang Jing was also eager to make a move. Although there was no precedent for private film and television companies to go public in China, her chairman was the "God of Wealth" and had a very accurate view of things.

Since Boss Song personally recommended that you buy it, you can indeed consider buying some Huayi shares.

Song Ci saw through the two's thoughts clearly. He himself had made a lot of money in the US stock market, so he didn't mind letting his confidants take some of the spoils. So he started to give some advice:

“Huayi’s performance has been good to begin with, and the entertainment industry has become increasingly prosperous in the past two years. In addition, with the support from above, there is no reason why the listing would not be successful.

The Wang brothers and the group of young men from wealthy families behind Huayi have extensive connections and ways of doing things in this city, so they will definitely be given the green light by the authorities.

The rest is to tell the story well, make investors believe in Huayi's future, and willingly pay for its shares. People in the entertainment industry are best at making up stories and creating hype."

Wang Jing was familiar with the ins and outs of the entertainment industry. After listening to the chairman's well-reasoned analysis, her eyes lit up and she began to think about how to make a killing from Huayi and earn more money.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this: "The water in the entertainment industry is getting deeper and deeper.

I heard that the coal bosses got involved a few years ago and invested huge amounts of money, but in the end they got nothing and had to learn a lesson.

It hasn’t been quiet for a few years, and real estate bosses are also spending a lot of money in the entertainment industry. I don’t know if they can make it work.”

There was a faint smile on Song Ci's lips, and his smile showed the calmness of someone who knew everything.

Even the big capital of Wall Street can't handle Hollywood. Although the domestic entertainment industry started late, it has taken many twists and turns. How can the real estate bosses beat these old foxes in the entertainment industry?

Only after a few years of the arrival of the traffic era and the massive involvement of Internet capital, which interferes in all aspects of IP incubation, film and television production, hype and promotion, will the entertainment industry understand what a sponsor is.

After discussing a few matters at hand with Zhang Yong and Wang Jing, the two hurriedly said goodbye and left. They had just moved to their new workplace and had a lot of work to do, so they couldn't delay for a moment.

Song Ci returned to his desk, logged into Weibo to browse the hot news, and took out his cell phone to call Jiang Tao.

"Mr. Song! Congratulations on the Tengda Group's relocation today." As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Tao's gentle and polite words came.

Song Ci leaned back in his chair and said cheerfully, “It’s a pity that Director Jiang didn’t come to the scene today.”

"I really can't help it. The director has a meeting today and I can't show my support to Mr. Song. I'm really sorry."

Jiang Tao responded with great regret. He heard that a senior leader of Tengda would be present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and he wanted to join in the fun, but unfortunately the director was in an emergency meeting and could not get away.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Song Ci got to the point: "Director Jiang, I have already properly arranged the matter that Director Han asked you to do.

Later, Tengda Culture and Southern Cinema Line, subsidiaries of the group, will cooperate with Huayi Company to support their listing.”

Jiang Tao was very happy to hear this: "Thank you, Director Song, for giving me face. Director Han and I are both in the same system. We usually have meetings in the department and see each other every day. We are very familiar with each other.

I don't know where he got the news, but he found out that I was familiar with you, so he asked me to come forward. I was really in a dilemma, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to shamelessly ask Mr. Song to help me. "

Song Ci responded in a friendly and humble tone: "Director Jiang, you are too polite to say that. It's just a small matter. Don't mind it. As long as you ask, I will definitely help you if I can."

Jiang Tao felt relieved after hearing this and laughed heartily: "Since Director Song said so, I won't be polite! I just happen to have a small matter to ask Director Song for help."

Song Ci was slightly stunned. Why did the other party suddenly become so rude?

In his impression, Jiang Tao is the youngest deputy director of CCTV. He is usually very cautious in doing things. But today he was a little abnormal, which was inconsistent with his usual low-key style.

Although he was very surprised, out of courtesy and past friendship, he still responded, "Please give me your orders."
