Chapter 399 Dewen Manufacturing

The next morning, in the dressing room of the leading actors of "Silent Shorthand", the air seemed to be filled with subtle tension.

Wan Qian was putting on makeup in front of the mirror while the makeup artist was busy applying lotion and powder on her face. However, her eyes kept glancing at the excited figure beside Liu Shishi.

Inside the room, the stylist, makeup artist, and assistant Liu Shishi all pricked up their ears, listening to the man who had arrived at the crew early in the morning and telling interesting stories in a vivid manner.

The elder sister's starry eyes were half closed, and as time passed, her face under the delicate makeup was glowing with a pearly and moist luster.

She lazily leaned back in her chair and let the makeup artist sculpt her: "Ah Hao, why did you come to the set so early in the morning?"

"Shishi, the Qinhuai Lantern Festival is pretty good, isn't it?" The person who came was Lin Hao, smiling brightly, "You and Lao Si are both on the hot search, kissing passionately on the cruise ship, knowing how to choose the place."

Hearing Lin Hao's teasing, Liu Shishi's ears turned red instantly. The scene of taking off her mask and hugging and kissing Song Ci last night seemed to appear in front of her again.

From tourists' cameras to the top of the hot search list, the topic of her and her husband boating on Qinhuai River and indulging in love that night has already spread all over the Internet, making others envious.

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "To be honest, the netizens have great photography skills. They took pictures of you and Lao Si that are very beautiful. The sound of oars and the lights make even a rough guy like me feel romantic when seeing the couple."

In the corner, Su Xiaoxiao gently touched Lin Xia's arm and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xia, who is this fat guy? It seems that he has a close relationship with Senior Sister Shi."

Lin Xia had met Lin Hao once before and knew his identity: "He is a good friend of Mr. Song and seems to be the president of an investment company."

"Mr. Song's friend!" Su Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank slightly. "He's in finance, so he's a big shot. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "Why, do you have any ideas?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head: "With my looks, the boss won't like me. But if his identity gets out, there will be no shortage of female stars in the crew who want to get close to him."

Lin Hao and Liu Shishi were chatting and laughing: "Shishi, the entire film and television industry is in full swing now. I plan to invest in a film and television company. Do you want to take a share?"

"Sure!" Liu Shishi agreed happily, "But Ah Hao, the entertainment industry is a complicated place. If you don't have someone who knows the business watching you, it's easy to lose money if you invest in it!"

"Don't worry! I have found a reliable partner, the other party is Lu Chao, the general manager of Dongying Emperor Films, who has rich experience in the industry."

Lin Hao didn't care. "Besides, I'm the director of Tengda Group. The entertainment industry is just a shallow puddle at best."

Hearing Lin Hao introduce himself, everyone in the room was secretly shocked. They never thought that the fat man with an unprepossessing appearance was actually the director of Tengda Group.

Although he is not as good as the husband of the No. 1 actress, he is still a big shot in the entertainment industry.

"That's settled then. You discuss the equity distribution with your partners, and my studio will take the rest." Sister Yi said it lightly, yet with full of dominance.

"OK! The company is called Yaoke Culture. I'll bring Lu Chao to visit you some other day."

"By the way, Hao, my husband went to inspect the factory construction today. Why didn't you go with him?"

Lin Hao smiled bitterly: "My father and the people from the Jinling government are here. If I were to be there, it would make Song Ci embarrassed. It's better for me to avoid suspicion and not go!"

At the same time, Song Ci and Wang Fengying, accompanied by the mayor and deputy mayor of Jinling and other officials, were conducting a field investigation for the site selection of Dewen Manufacturing's new factory.

The mayor was calm and composed, pointing to the distance and introducing calmly: "Mr. Song, Jiangbei District has already applied for a national-level new district.

With the Yangtze River's water transport advantages and a well-developed road transportation network, it is a unique and convenient place to invest and build a factory."

Song Ci gave his subordinates a subtle wink.

Wang Fengying understood the message and took the lead, striving to obtain more favorable policies for Dewen Manufacturing: "To be honest with the mayor, the consumer market in the Yangtze River Delta is vast, but the development potential of Jiangcheng in the middle reaches is equally huge.

And the construction cost is lower. More importantly, Jiangcheng and even the entire Hubei Province have introduced special support policies for the new energy vehicle industry.”

Deputy Mayor Lin on the side quickly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Mr. Song and Mr. Wang, Jiangsu Province will only be more favorable than Hubei Province in terms of special support policies.

Our province is one of the most economically powerful provinces in the country, and we have sufficient supporting funds in terms of tax incentives and financial subsidies.”

Song Ci nodded slightly. He did not doubt the economic strength of Jiangsu Province. "Dear leaders, how much support can you give on land policy?"

Deputy Mayor Lin was confident: "Mr. Song, the city has held a meeting to discuss that as long as your company is willing to settle down and build a factory here, we can sell 2,000 acres of industrial land in batches. Not only is the land price 70% off the market price, but we also allow installment payments.

At the same time, it is promised that two cross-river passages will be built within five years to connect to the national expressway network such as the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway and the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway to ensure the smooth supply of auto parts and regional distribution of finished vehicles. "

Song Ci and Wang Fengying looked at each other. The four major processes of the vehicle factory, stamping, welding, painting and assembly, as well as supporting facilities such as test fields and R&D centers require large and regular plots of land. Jinling is willing to provide 2,000 acres of land. Such conditions are indeed very attractive.

"Can the power supply be guaranteed?" Wang Fengying then asked. The stamping and painting processes in automobile manufacturing consume huge amounts of electricity. If the power supply is insufficient, it will seriously affect production capacity.

Deputy Mayor Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. There is absolutely no problem with electricity! The power grid in Jiangbei area has sufficient capacity and high stability.

Mr. Song and Mr. Wang, you can learn that large companies such as Jinling Steel, BASF-YPC, and TSMC have all settled here and have never had any power supply problems. "

Seeing that Song Ci and Wang Fengying were still weighing the options, the mayor added: “Mr. Song, Jinling has many colleges and universities with sufficient talent reserves in professional fields such as automotive engineering, machinery, and electrical engineering.

The municipal government can also act as a matchmaker to help your company collaborate with scientific research institutes in research and development and promote technological innovation in the new energy field.

If there are any questions, I will answer them on the spot if I can, and if I can’t, I will report and coordinate with the provincial government.”

After careful consideration, Song Ci finally expressed his opinion: "Today's inspection made me feel Jinling's sincerity. If the policy conditions are really as promised by the leaders before, I agree to locate the automobile factory here."

In fact, he was not optimistic about Jinling's business environment before, but this time the Jinling government offered extremely favorable conditions to attract investment. After a detailed evaluation by Wang Fengying, these policies are indeed of great help to the company's development, which led to this on-site inspection.

Upon hearing the richest man's decision, the mayor and accompanying officials could not hide their joy. The successful introduction of a large-scale new energy vehicle manufacturing company will have a multi-level and systematic pulling effect on the development of the entire city, and is even expected to reshape the city's industrial structure.

"Director Song, the city has prepared a welcome banquet. I have prepared some wine at the guesthouse. Please come."

The mayor was all smiles. According to preliminary estimates by relevant departments, the investment scale of Dewen Manufacturing can directly create at least 20,000 jobs in the future.

Significantly boosting GDP growth and bringing in considerable tax revenue is undoubtedly a brilliant political achievement and will greatly help his promotion.

"It would be disrespectful to refuse the mayor's kindness." Song Ci agreed readily. Although he did not like official social engagements, such occasions were unavoidable.

As we enter April, there is constant breaking news in the entertainment industry.

At the beginning of April, the crew of "Tiny Times" officially announced that four actresses, Yang Mi, Ni Ni, Huo Siyan and Guo Biting, will serve as the leading actors in the film.

At almost the same time, writer Han Han also announced his transformation into a director, cooperating with Tengda Culture to prepare for the filming of the movie "See You Tomorrow", and seemed to be competing with Guo Jingming in the film and television industry.

After the Qingming Festival, important news came from across the ocean:

Lionsgate, the most successful independent film company in North America outside of the six major Hollywood film studios, acquired Summit Entertainment through a cash and stock deal at a valuation of US$450 million.

Since Tengda Group holds 40% of the shares of Summit Entertainment, after the completion of this merger, Tengda Group will directly become a shareholder of Lionsgate Entertainment, holding a 12.41% stake.

This move was seen by the entertainment industry as Tengda's clarion call to enter Hollywood.

On the same day, "Billionaire Director" Ma Xin made a public announcement:

The new movie adapted from Mr. Shoufu’s first novel “Left Ear”, after several rounds of casting, finally decided to cast Chen Duling, the beauty of Peking University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, as the leading female role.

The girl was the champion of the 2011 Headline Star School Beauty Contest and attracted much attention.

On April 9, Meituan, a domestic Internet group-buying platform, announced that it would jointly establish Maoyan Films with LeTV Films, Huayi Company, and Bona Film Group.

It focuses on the field of movie ticket group buying and online movie distribution, and competes with Nuomi Shiguang, an online distribution company under Tenda Group.

In early April, there were constant disturbances in the entertainment industry, and by mid-April, major events in the Internet industry emerged one after another.

First, Penguin announced the elimination of its Weibo business unit and shut down its Weibo servers. Then, Sohu, NetEase, Xinlang and other companies also announced the closure of their Weibo businesses.

This four-year-long Weibo dispute ended with Tenda Group's complete victory. Since then, Tenda Weibo has become the only one left in China.

After shutting down its Weibo business, Penguin Technology has released a series of important news, planning to cancel the WeChat chat server from May 1, merge user data with mobile QQ, and completely give up competing with Tenda Group for the dominant position in the mobile IM field.

Penguin also announced plans to reduce operating costs, adopt a prudent operating strategy relying on QQ, and choose to change track to avoid the booming Tengda Group.

Not only that, Penguin also acquired the barrage video website AcFun, which is A Station, the birthplace of domestic barrage culture, and split the website's game live broadcast business into an independent one, establishing a new live broadcast business segment, Douyu Live.

Late spring is approaching quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is already late April.

In the conference room of Dewen Manufacturing headquarters in Peking, a group of senior executives gathered together, and the new company was full of vitality.

Song Ci sat in the main seat, looking very high-spirited, and the confidence between his eyebrows was as dazzling as when he founded Tengda Group.

"Everyone, the main content of today's meeting is: company structure adjustment and announcement of personnel appointments."

The meeting room was silent and the atmosphere was solemn. Everyone had a premonition that as Dewen Manufacturing gradually got back on track, the young helmsman would inevitably sort out the company's organizational framework.

Song Ci picked up the document at hand and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Appoint Wang Fengying as the company's CEO, Tang Jun as the executive vice president; Song Xueying and Yang Bowen as vice presidents. The specific division of labor among the four presidents will be issued in the form of a formal document later."

As the names were read out one by one, the appointed persons stood up one by one and nodded to everyone present.

After the appointment of the four core senior executives, Song Ci said solemnly: "From now on, the daily operation of the company will rely on you."

Wang Fengying responded immediately: "Please rest assured, Chairman. I am here to make it clear that I will unite the team members and manage the company well for you."

Tang Jun also quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, we will do our best to develop the company."

Song Ci nodded to his trusted general who was sitting at the first seat on the right, and said, "Manufacturing is not like the Internet. You should consult with President Wang more often."

Wang Fengying glanced at her deputy meaningfully. She had specifically learned that this executive vice president was formerly the president of WeChat of Tengda Group and was deeply trusted by the boss.

If it weren't for the fact that each industry has its own unique characteristics and I have rich experience in the manufacturing industry, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the position of president.

Looking at the other two vice presidents, one is the boss’s former secretary and the other is an external executive. They have a long way to go in future management.

Just as Wang Fengying's thoughts were surging, Song Ci continued to announce: "The company has established five core business divisions, and each department has independent accounting.

The New Energy Vehicle Division is responsible for the full-stack R&D and production of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and President Wang Fengying also serves as the general manager of the department.

The Aerospace Science and Technology Division focuses on reusable rockets and commercial satellites, and its general manager is Zhang Xiaoping.

The Intelligent Aerospace Business Department is mainly engaged in the research and development and production of drones, and the general manager of the department is Xue Ning.

The Photovoltaic Storage Integration Division focuses on the integration of photovoltaic power stations and energy storage systems, and its general manager is Sun Jialiang.

The Advanced Materials Research Institute is responsible for supporting the material needs of each business unit, and the department head is Shen Cong. ”

“In addition, four strategic empowerment platforms were established:

Technology Sharing Center, functional patent pool management, cross-business unit technology grafting, person in charge: Zhou Ziyu.

A super supply chain company that coordinates and centralizes the procurement of lithium, cobalt, rare earth and other minerals and deploys global mineral resources. Its general manager is Lu Chenggong.

The Digital Infrastructure Division is responsible for the company's system development and is headed by Feng Hexiang.

The Strategic Investment Incubation Center is responsible for acquiring key technology companies and incubating innovative projects, and its head is Yang Jie.

As for the financial center, human resources and other mid- and back-end modules, I will not read them out one by one. The department heads will issue them in official documents later. "

After announcing the major personnel appointments, Song Ci paused for a moment, giving everyone present some time to digest the news, and then continued:

"The company has a lot of work to do. The heads of each department should quickly finalize the list of middle-level managers and submit it for approval within a week. Tang Jun, please follow up on this matter."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

"In addition, the company's salary system and personnel regulations will also be introduced one after another. We welcome your suggestions. The next meeting will be chaired by President Wang Fengying. President Wang, you can start now."

Wang Fengying's eyes were bright as she officially opened a new chapter in her career as president of Dewen Manufacturing.
