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 host first went on stage to explain the significance of the office building's completion to the company's development. After a long and detailed explanation, Zheng Xiuli sang two songs, followed by a deafening drum performance. Fang Yang then invited Bai Zhenjun to the stage to give a speech. The accompanying reporters set up their cameras, as these were all going to be on the evening news, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
Since Fang Yang didn't invite any industry insiders today, and few entertainment reporters knew about it, according to Fang Yang, it was just the completion of an office building, which had nothing to do with entertainment, so there was no need to invite them.
According to the procedure, Fang Yang should have been the first to speak. However, Bai Zhenjun, who was present today, was of a very high rank. Under these circumstances, Fang Yang did not dare to go on stage first without permission. After repeated requests for permission, he finally allowed Bai Zhenjun to go on stage.
"Today is a very special day because the headquarters office building of Yuewen Entertainment Media has been completed. I haven't been in Jiangnan Province for long, but Yuewen Entertainment Media said that it will invest 500 billion yuan in Xihu City to build a children's theme park and headquarters. To be honest, when I first heard this news, I didn't believe it. Why? Because Yuewen Entertainment Media doesn't have that much money!"
"But after more than a month of understanding, I still chose to believe it. Why? Because in just four months, Yuewen Entertainment Media invested over 10 billion yuan in the construction of this headquarters, which is a very good figure."
"Everyone should pay attention: this investment of over 10 billion yuan did not involve a single bank loan; it was all real money invested. This is what a true entrepreneur who wants to build a business should do. And this investment of 10 billion yuan has brought at least 50 billion yuan in economic stimulus to our West Lake City. Why do I say this? In the economic field, there is a very famous theory: data should not be judged solely on its surface, but rather by its deeper liquidity."
"Let's take an example, say the builder of this project. We all know that when a builder is building a house, he can't get paid for each floor he builds. He has to complete a certain percentage of the construction before he gets paid. This is a public fact, and I believe most of you here know this. Before he gets paid, the builder will also owe a lot of money to the building material suppliers. Is that right?"
Chen Yunfeng stood up and said, "I am Chen Yunfeng, the vice president of the construction company for this project. What President Bai said is absolutely right. This is a common problem in the industry. Construction companies without strength are dragged down by triangular debts."
Bai Zhenjun said, "Mr. Chen is absolutely right. The entire industry is being dragged down by debt. So, in order to save themselves, construction companies can only keep taking on new projects and then use the new project payments to pay off the old debts. Building material suppliers get a sum of money. And what will they do after they get the money?"
"If he still wants to stay in this industry, then he will return the money to the building material manufacturers. After receiving the money, the building material manufacturers will use part of it to pay for raw materials and part of it to pay for employee wages. Employees need money to consume. After maintaining the most basic living expenses, they can then pay their mortgages, buy clothes, watch movies, listen to music, and travel. This leads to countless other cycles. Money flows, and the economy becomes active. In all these links, the investment of real money is the source of everything."
"Our government department is positioned as a service-oriented department. Whether it's formulating or enforcing laws, or formulating or promoting economic policies, our goal is to revitalize the economy of society. Only through substantial financial investment can we stimulate the overall economic activity of society. A vibrant society is what our government department most desires to see. We also hope that society will have more entrepreneurs like Fang Yang, who, when poor, cultivate their own virtue, and when successful, contribute to society while considering their own interests. Today, on the occasion of the topping-out ceremony of the Yuewen Entertainment Media headquarters office building, I once again extend my sincerest congratulations to Yuewen Entertainment Media, wishing them an even brighter future!"
Amid thunderous applause, Bai Zhenjun stepped down from the stage. Fang Yang quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude. From Bai Zhenjun's speech today, Fang Yang could tell that Bai Zhenjun was very good at managing the economy. In modern society, a high-ranking economic talent undoubtedly has a very bright future!
The second person invited to the stage by the host was Ouyang Ming. During the break between Ouyang Ming's speech, Bai Zhenjun whispered in Fang Yang's ear, "Xiao Yang, I have a meeting to attend later. After Ouyang Ming speaks, hurry up and say a few words. We need to hurry up with the topping-out ceremony. I won't go on the tour. I'll come and have a drink with you when you move in."
Fang Yang nodded and replied, "I understand. I also want to thank my uncle for coming today. I can hardly believe that I have the honor of listening to your teachings."
Bai Zhenjun laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you're talking nonsense. Zhou Haijun and I are very close. I know exactly what you said to him. I'll have another drink with you during the New Year and hear your grand theories."
Fang Yang smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, you are a big leader in the economic field, so why should I be the one to talk to you?"
"Enough with the nonsense. There are reporters filming here, so I won't say any more to you. Listen carefully to what Ouyang Ming has to say. Ouyang Ming is a very capable person. It will be very beneficial for you to get to know him better."
Fang Yang nodded. On the stage, Ouyang Ming skipped his long speech, probably because he was in a hurry to get to a meeting. "I was very inspired by Governor Bai's insightful remarks. As the local official of Xihu City, I am proud to have a responsible company like Yuewen Entertainment Media, and I am also proud to have a self-reliant and ambitious entrepreneur like Fang Yang. I have known Fang Yang for a long time. Back then, he had just started out and his company was just a small business with a few dozen employees. But he is very talented. I have personally witnessed his rise from numerous difficulties. So when I heard that he wanted to buy land to rebuild his headquarters, my first thought was to bring him to Xihu City."
As Ouyang Ming spoke, he laughed, probably proud of the initial investment. "The result is very satisfactory. Yuewen Entertainment Media not only invested over 10 billion yuan in less than six months, creating significant social value, but also contributed over 10 billion yuan to Xihu City's GDP in the past two months. Mayor Zhou Hongguang is beaming with joy every day, saying that Xihu City has attracted a phoenix that lays golden eggs. This is Xihu City's good fortune, and also the good fortune of the people of Xihu City. Why do I say it's the good fortune of the people of Xihu City? Just look at the hundred demobilized soldiers who have just taken up their posts around the perimeter. It creates a large number of high-quality jobs for Xihu City, which is exactly what we, as the local officials, hope to see."
The TV cameraman also turned his lens to the demobilized soldiers who were responsible for security outside. This was a news story with very positive political significance, and the cameraman dared not miss a single shot!
