Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...
The meeting went on very late, so late that Fang Yang had fallen asleep but it still hadn't ended. Fang Yang didn't know how these people had so much energy, going on from the afternoon until dinner, and then continuing until late at night!
The next day, when Fang Yang was having breakfast, he saw Zhou Kai walking over while yawning and carrying a small plate. "What's wrong? What time did the meeting last last night?"
Zhou Kai shook his head. "It's already 1:30. We'll continue driving after inspecting the site today. I didn't expect that buying land would be so complicated, involving so many departments. Although we don't need to run around, the procedures need to be constantly improved, which inevitably requires in-depth communication beforehand."
Fang Yang looked at Zhou Kai's obvious dark circles and said, "Don't overwork yourself. It's not something that can be resolved in a day. Just take your time to coordinate with them!"
Zhou Kai drank a glass of milk and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief. "I'm getting old, I can't stay up all night anymore. I'll talk to them slowly later. According to them, this matter can't be settled in less than two or three months. We still need to abide by the results from the capital."
Fang Yang nodded, "I'll go back tomorrow. Everyone will stay to help you with your work. Wang Jialiang should arrive in the next couple of days. I need to go back and take care of some work, set up the crew as soon as possible, and go north to film the movie next month."
"It's alright, Xiao Yang, you can go back now. This matter can't be settled in a day or two. You still need to oversee all the work at the company!"
Fang Yang looked up and saw Ouyang Ming coming in from the door. He waved and said to Ouyang Ming, "Secretary Ouyang, have you had breakfast yet?"
"I had breakfast before I came. How was your sleep last night?"
"I'm fine, but Mr. Zhou is suffering; he even has dark circles under his eyes!"
Seeing Zhou Kai's dark circles, Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "These people are too impatient. I'll give them a piece of my mind later. Let them rest tonight; there's no need to rush!"
Zhou Kai waved his hand and said, "Secretary Ouyang, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit. This matter really needs to be expedited. We don't have enough office space right now, which is seriously limiting our company's development. We have no choice but to be anxious."
Fang Yang chuckled and patted Zhou Kai on the shoulder. "There's no rush. Get some rest tonight, and we can talk again tomorrow."
"No need, no need, let's proceed normally. I'm getting old and don't have that much sleep. The sooner we settle things, the sooner we can start work. Old Chen has been quite anxious lately!"
Fang Yang looked at Zhou Kai, "What do you mean by that?"
"The viewership of 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' is high right now, and there are a lot of people watching it on demand. Old Chen was just saying yesterday that he was going to rent a server again. Server rental prices are high right now, and it's not worth it in the long run."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhou Kai, Fang Yang gave up. After breakfast, he and Ouyang Ming walked out of the hotel. Today's procession was even larger than yesterday's. In addition to police cars, there were also news interview vehicles following closely behind, and the convoy was almost twice the size.
Seeing Fang Yang looking over, Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "We need to go and check on all the relevant departments today, including transportation, electricity, communications, water conservancy, and environmental protection. These are all essential; otherwise, how will we solve the problem of future infrastructure connectivity?"
Nodding, the two waited a little longer before Zhou Hongguang came over with a man who looked like a leader. Ouyang Ming introduced him, saying, "This is from the provincial land and resources department. You'll probably need him to handle this matter!"
"Secretary Ouyang, I'm sorry for being late and keeping you waiting. The governor just gave me some instructions, which caused the delay!"
"Director Mao, let me introduce you. This is Fang Yang, the chairman of Yuewen Entertainment Media!"
"President Fang, this is Director Mao Weijie, the local official in charge of a province!"
Fang Yang extended his hand to shake hands with Mao Weijie, "Hello, Director Mao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me!"
Mao Weijie shook Fang Yang's hand, "President Fang, meeting you today is truly a pleasure; I've heard so much about you!"
Seeing Fang Yang's puzzled look, Mao Weijie smiled and said, "I graduated from Peking University. My mentor highly praised you, saying that your opening of the calligraphy and painting trading platform on the website has facilitated the lives of many art students and played an immeasurable role in promoting the development of Chinese calligraphy and painting."
Fang Yang suddenly realized that it must be some big shot. There are a lot of big shots on Yuewen Entertainment Media website now, who are active in the chat room and often exchange experiences there.
"I don't deserve such praise. It's what we should do. Doing this was purely accidental and not worth mentioning!"
Ouyang Ming checked the time. "Is everyone here? Shall we set off now?"
The office director chimed in, "Everyone's here. Please get in the car, everyone!"
As everyone boarded the vehicles, the lead police car started moving, followed by vehicles from various departments. Fang Yang, Ouyang Ming, and the others were riding in a twelve-seat minibus.
This was Fang Yang's first time riding in a minibus used for official travel. The spaciousness and comprehensive functions inside were an eye-opener for him.
The luxurious airline-style air-conditioned seats, toilet, KTV, full carpet, and even a small refrigerator left Fang Yang speechless. The level of comfort was indeed much better than that of a seven-seater business van!
Seeing Fang Yang's appearance, Ouyang Ming, who was in front, couldn't help but laugh and said, "President Fang, once your children's amusement park is up and running, you can also buy a few of these cars. They're very convenient."
"Secretary Ouyang, this car is indeed good, but why wait until the children's playground is built before buying it?"
“You don’t know unless you’ve worked in a government department. Once your children’s amusement park becomes well-known, tourism departments from all over the country will come to inspect and research it. You’ll need to have vehicles to pick them up and drop them off. Not only vehicles, but you also need to prepare buses. You’ll need to prepare several at the airport and high-speed rail station. You won’t lose out by doing this.”
Fang Yang pondered, "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known. This is a small matter. We'll set up a special fleet to pick up and drop off the leaders and tourists who come to inspect the area."
Mao Weijie, on the other side, suddenly said, "President Fang, do you have any renderings of the children's playground? When we submit the report, a mere text description might not be enough to convey the intended effect."
Fang Yang slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about this! We not only have professional renderings, but also 5D films. The effects are absolutely top-notch! We're currently applying for a global patent. I'll have my company send over a copy later, and we can all enjoy them together tonight."
Zhou Hongguang laughed and said, "Applying for a global patent would take at least three months. Is it alright if we just take a look?"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "It's alright, it's not a top-secret plan, just some design patents. But I believe that after you've seen them, you'll all have confidence in this project!"
With police cars leading the way, the speed was naturally fast. After passing through the city and turning onto the highway, there were far fewer vehicles. Fang Yang saw that the road had six lanes, which was generally satisfactory. Before the troops move, the supplies must be ready. A wide road will at least reduce a lot of trouble.
