Chapter 375 Arrival in Ningbo, King of Hengdian

Shen Fang: "Ahem, well, Brother Shen, no need for that, let's each talk our own thing. Well, ahem, I, Shen, am new to your esteemed place. Hello, three leaders and two shareholders."

Director Liu from the Investment Promotion Department smiled at Shen Fang: "I didn't expect President Shen to be so young. Heroes emerge from among the young! Recently, President Shen's Longteng Media has become quite famous."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "Just an empty reputation, nothing more. Does Director Liu even know about Longteng Media?"

Xu Wensheng smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Shen. After all, Hengdian Group was an idea that we came up with together with Director Liu. The Ningbo Municipal Government also has shares in Hengdian Group. Otherwise, how could we have accomplished such a large project?"

Shen Fang nodded. He was sure he knew about this. In general, the government would directly hold shares or hold all the shares in real estate projects of this level. If a film and television base like this were to achieve success, the benefits would be enormous, as the policy of building a culturally strong nation has been implemented and the cultural industry is in high demand.

The dishes have all been served.

All ten famous dishes of Ningbo were served: rock sugar turtle, lotus leaf steamed pork, yellow croaker soup with pickled mustard greens, goose liver wrapped in caul fat, red roe pickled crab, braised eel, Ningbo glutinous rice balls, whole chicken with ham hock, crab stir-fried rice cake, and colorful braised yellow croaker.

Xu Wensheng picked up his wine glass.

"Mr. Shen has come from afar, Brother Xu, I have prepared fine wine and food for you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."

Shen Fang smiled and raised his glass: "Brother Xu, you're too kind. I'll treat you next time you come to Beijing. I'll take good care of you."

Xu Wensheng laughed loudly: "Definitely, definitely."

The two drank a toast.

Shen Kun was so hungry he was drooling and didn't want to wait any longer.

"Um, well, Mr. Xu, and all the leaders, I'm a bit hungry. I haven't eaten anything on the way here. I'll have something to tide me over."

Director Zhang laughed heartily: "Don't be shy, don't be shy. You are all guests, please eat as much as you like. Try some of Ningbo's specialties."

Upon hearing this, Shen Kun immediately started showing off. Shen Fang was also a little hungry. The group ate and chatted, and Shen Fang occasionally had a drink with several leaders and two major shareholders.

"Brother Shen, Hengdian covers an area of ​​50,000 mu and was first built in 1996. It has more than ten film and television shooting bases, including Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Palace, Qin Palace, Qingming Riverside Scene, Dream Valley Jiangnan Water Town, Ming and Qing Folk Houses Expo City, Huaxia Culture Park, Pingyan Cave, Dazhi Temple, Republic of China Street, Spring and Autumn Garden, Tang Palace, etc. No matter which dynasty you want to shoot, you can find the architectural complex you want here. Even if you don't have us, we can still build it. What Hengdian needs now is to increase its popularity. I also know your status in the Hong Kong and Beijing media circles. Recently, you have made such a big move and introduced the CPEM agreement to promote cross-strait cooperation. I have also heard a lot of your opinions on the development of film and television, and I agree with them very much."

"Now I'm thinking, could we collaborate and work together to make the domestic film and television industry bigger and stronger?"
