Qin Shumin pressed the elevator button and invited Fang Yang in. "Our station has a significant influence in this area. After special approval, we opened up some qualifications a few years ago."

Fang Yang was a little surprised. Although he knew this was possible, it would take a lot of effort to make it happen. "Your station is pretty good. You have a good eye. If it's handled well, it has great potential."

"We all know that, but we still need rich content to continuously attract a group of viewers."

As the elevator numbers kept jumping, Fang Yang was also considering this issue. Southeast Asia only has a population of a few hundred million, and the actual number of people watching Guangzhou TV is probably only a few million. However, if this market is opened up, the prospects are still very promising!

"What benefits have you gained from opening up resources in Southeast Asia?"

Qin Shumin shook her head. "This is not something a mere secretary like me could know."

As Fang Yang was deep in thought, he heard a "ding" and the elevator doors slowly opened. Qin Shumin led the way, "President Fang, please come this way."

Following Qin Shumin's directions, after passing several offices, they saw a sign that read "Director's Office." Qin Shumin stepped forward and gently knocked on the door a few times. After hearing a voice inside say "Come in," she turned the doorknob and went in. "Director, Mr. Fang is here."

Zhang Xinyang, who was looking at documents behind his executive chair, looked up and saw Fang Yang. He stood up abruptly, extended his hand, and laughed, "Hello, Mr. Fang, welcome to Guangzhou."

Fang Yang stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Xinyang. "Hello, Director Zhang! It's been a few months since we last met. You look radiant and glowing!"

Zhang Xinyang reached out his left hand and patted Fang Yang's hand, "Oh dear, I really have to thank President Fang for this. Your 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' has turned our fortunes around for our station. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief. President Fang, you are my benefactor!"

Fang Yang chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to Director Zhang's discerning eye that we managed to defeat the enemy amidst thousands of troops. We just did what we were supposed to do."

Zhang Xinyang pulled Fang Yang to sit down at the tea table. "Mr. Fang, please try my treasured aged Pu'er tea. I don't have many hobbies, but I have a special fondness for tea. When I have free time, I often brew some tea to drink, and it brings me great peace of mind."

Seeing Zhang Xinyang's smooth and skillful tea rinsing and warming of the cups, Fang Yang laughed and said, "Judging from Director Zhang's technique, I can tell that he is a tea master who has been immersed in tea making for decades!"

Zhang Xinyang chuckled and said, "In Guangzhou, learning to brew tea from a young age is a basic skill. As for how good you are later, there's only one principle—practice makes perfect!"

"What Director Zhang said is very philosophical. It applies to everything, but that's also where the difficulty lies. The simplest things are not necessarily the simplest!"

Zhang Xinyang poured Fang Yang a cup of tea, "Have some and see how my tea is?"

Fang Yang picked up the tea that Zhang Xinyang had poured, smelled it, and asked, "Director Zhang, isn't this tea a bit old?"

"Mr. Fang is an expert, let's try it!"

Fang Yang took a small sip as Zhang Xinyang requested. "It's mellow and rich, with a strong tea aroma and a gentle warmth. Director Zhang's tea is indeed excellent."

"President Fang is a sensible man. The matter you entrusted to me last time has been accomplished with some effort over a period of time, but that's all we can do for now. Any more can only be done through lobbying at the higher levels, which puts us in a bit of a bind."

"Oh, I wonder which level Director Zhang has cleared?" Fang Yang was a little surprised. Last time it was just an unintentional act, but he didn't expect to reap such a reward!

“I have some connections in Hong Kong. The main thing is that Hong Kong has now nominally returned to the mainland, so it's still possible to get things done with a little effort. You can send a team over to discuss the details with them. There shouldn't be any major problems.”

Fang Yang raised a cup of tea to Zhang Xinyang, saying, "Then I'll toast Director Zhang with tea instead of wine. Thank you so much, Director Zhang, for this!"

Zhang Xinyang waved his hand, "These are all minor matters. I'm just testing the waters for you. I also hope that our mainland video websites can gain a foothold in Hong Kong and realize cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland. This would be a good thing for both sides."

"Moreover, the reason why Hong Kong agreed so readily is because they are looking for change. Although Hong Kong has developed well in terms of economy and finance in recent years, its culture has indeed stagnated. Perhaps they are also looking for change, which is why they agreed so readily."

"In any case, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without your help, so I still want to thank you."

Zhang Xinyang laughed heartily, "Let's skip the thank-yous and see how our TV station is doing."

Fang Yang stood up with a smile and followed behind Zhang Xinyang, listening to Zhang Xinyang introduce Yangcheng TV Station. "Our Yangcheng TV Station was one of the first TV stations approved by the state. After several integrations, it can now be said to be a leading large-scale comprehensive media platform in China. It is a comprehensive media organization that integrates radio, television, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, new media, radio and television transmission and other businesses."

Fang Yang followed behind Zhang Xinyang, listening to Zhang Xinyang's introduction. The two did not take the elevator, but walked down floor by floor. It was clear that Zhang Xinyang had a high reputation in the station. People kept greeting him along the way, and Zhang Xinyang nodded with a smile. There was no sense of distance that a big leader would have.

"Director Zhang is very popular at the station. You can tell that everyone respects you."

Zhang Xinyang waved his hand and said, "Put yourself in their shoes. If you want to gain the respect of your employees, you must first respect them. Although Guangzhou is not as good as Shenzhen, the pressure to survive is still quite high. Everyone has their own difficulties, which we leaders need to understand. However, appropriate competition is also essential. As leaders, we can only gain the trust and respect of our employees by maintaining fairness and impartiality!"

"Director Zhang is a good leader. I believe that under your leadership, Yangcheng TV will definitely reach new heights."

Fang Yang's words made Zhang Xinyang beam with joy. "President Fang, then I'll take your good wishes. However, when you collaborate with Hong Kong, relying on existing TV dramas won't be enough to open up the market. What are your thoughts?"

By this time, Zhang Xinyang had already taken Fang Yang to visit all the departments and introduced him to the directors of each department. It could be said that Fang Yang had made a great impression on Yangcheng TV.

"Yes, we do have some ideas about this. We didn't put it on the agenda before because we weren't sure if it would be successful, but we will put it on the agenda in the future. We will cooperate more with Yangcheng TV. We hope Director Zhang will make things easier for us."

Zhang Xinyang laughed and said, "That's exactly what I'm hoping for. However, in order to meet the needs of the Hong Kong market, I'm afraid we'll still have to use Cantonese as the main language. Will that cause some inconvenience for Mr. Fang?"

"That's fine. Just set up a Cantonese section on the website. There will be a little difference in the dubbing, but that's no big deal."

"Haha, Mr. Fang really thinks things through."
