Chapter 453 Headquarters Location: Ambitious Qingyao Media
The concert and new album release made Su Yang a hot topic in the Chinese entertainment industry. However, everyone seemed to be used to it. Since Su Yang debuted, he would always make some exciting things happen. If Su Yang didn't make trouble, everyone would really feel a little uncomfortable.
The outside world was very lively, but Su Yang started a new busy schedule. The filming of "Kingdom" officially began, and the "Wandering Earth" project had also been launched for a long time.
Compared to "Kingdom," "The Wandering Earth" is a truly major project, and this time it's a multi-faceted collaboration. Cast screening is complete, scripts have been handed to all actors, and pre-production work has begun. This is especially true for Qingyao Digital, which carries a significant burden.
Although Su Yang is away, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. After Su Yang finishes filming "Kingdom", he will join the crew and start filming "The Wandering Earth" directly.
While Su Yang was busy, Tang Qing was also busy. Not only that, Tang Qing also finalized a major event.
The major issue at hand was the location of Qingyao Media's headquarters, a matter that had been on the table for quite some time. Tang Qing had been busy during this time, leveraging her connections and the strengths of Qingyao Media, considering a range of cities, and ultimately deciding on the headquarters' location.
"Shuyao, Suyang, look at the map. This is our headquarters, located in the southwest of Zhucheng. Although it's far from the city, the surrounding environment is very good. It's also surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the area is large enough. Zhucheng has already promised us this large piece of land, which is considered our company's reserve land. Our first batch of land is 1,000 acres..."
Tang Qing excitedly told Qin Shuyao and Su Yang about the latest progress of the headquarters. It had been confirmed that the headquarters would be located in Zhucheng.
Zhucheng is located in Guangdong Province. It has a beautiful environment and a suitable climate. It has won many human settlement awards and is known as one of the most livable cities in China.
The reason for choosing Zhucheng is not only because the land price in Zhucheng is relatively cheap, but also because the policies offered by Zhucheng are better.
Zhucheng City allocated 1,000 mu (approximately 1,000 mu) of land in the first batch. While it's quite far from the main urban area, the land is quite large. Furthermore, a significant amount of land has been reserved for future development.
Thanks to Tang Qing's efforts, not only was the land affordable, but the land use fee could also be paid in installments over 20 years. The process was similar to buying a house: the bank provided a guarantee, then paid the money to Zhucheng, and Qingyao Media repaid the bank annually.
“How much money do we need to invest in building our headquarters?”
Su Yang asked seriously, "This time the construction is on a larger scale, so there must be more money to be spent."
"The initial estimate is that it will cost around 8 to 10 billion RMB, but don't worry, we can get a loan. We can pay it back in installments, with a maximum annual repayment of around 1 billion RMB. With our current financial resources, it shouldn't be difficult."
Tang Qing said seriously, "This is a big project. For Qingyao Media, spending so much money at once is a huge expense."
However, once the headquarters is built, it will be crucial for future development. Tang Qing is now very ambitious and wants to do something big.
A headquarters covering thousands of acres, a headquarters that integrates food, drink, entertainment and fun. In the future, this headquarters will be the home of everyone at Qingyao Media.
Furthermore, this headquarters has been designed with future development in mind, with plenty of space available. In the future, even if Qingyao Media has hundreds of thousands of employees, they will still be able to live comfortably here.
Office buildings, dormitory areas, staff schools, internal shopping malls, staff hospitals, leisure and entertainment centers, etc.
This configuration is built in the image of a giant. Once the headquarters is built, Qingyao Media employees can eat, drink, play, work and study here. It is like a small city, small but complete.
"That's right. I'll leave it to you to build the headquarters."
Su Yang smiled and said that he was too lazy to care about such things. Su Yang was only responsible for the content, and he was too lazy to care about other things.
However, spending tens of billions of RMB to build a headquarters is not a difficult task for Qingyao Media. Currently, Qingyao Media has strong profitability.
Not to mention anything else, just the animation IP in Qingyao Media's hands brings considerable profits to Qingyao Media every year.
Compared to movies and TV series, animation has a longer-term impact. Qingyao Media is constantly recruiting animation talent from around the world. Qingyao Animation has already launched several projects, all of which are expected to be cash cows in the future.
Qingyao Media can easily earn billions annually from its animation IP alone. Therefore, a billion-plus yuan loan is nothing to them. If financial pressure truly arises, Qingyao Media still has a killer move: going public. Once Qingyao Media goes public, given its current profitability and influence, its stock price will undoubtedly soar to impressive heights.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely build our headquarters beautifully. Let's set a small goal first: become the boss of China, and then the world. Punch Disney, step on Hollywood..."
Tang Qing's words immediately made everyone laugh. While it was a joke, it wasn't impossible. It's fair to say that even Hollywood couldn't grow as fast as Qingyao Media.
"If we want to beat Disney, we must focus on the animation industry. In fact, we can completely follow Disney's lead. We can do the same as Disney does in the animation industry. In the future, when we have more IPs, we can also follow Disney's example and build a theme park. We can build our own Qingyao theme park next to our headquarters..."
Su Yang smiled and said, "To challenge Disney, we must focus on the animation industry. Disney is quite skilled in IP management. Disney can maximize the profits of IP, from animation to peripheral products to theme parks and even feature films."
A small IP, after Disney's careful management, can generate huge profits for Disney, which is something Qingyao Media cannot even dream of.
"Yes, but there's no need to rush. Qingyao Media has only been established for a short time. Give us another twenty years. With this development trend, we may be able to beat Disney."
Tang Qing is very optimistic. Compared with Disney's long history, Qingyao Media is just a newborn baby. Not to mention adulthood, it hasn't even started kindergarten yet. It has just taken off its diapers and started to walk unsteadily.
So she wasn't in a hurry, and Su Yang and Qin Shuyao were even less anxious. They were all still young, so they could just build their careers little by little. Once the headquarters was built, they could recruit talent on a large scale. By then, Qingyao Media would be well on its way to becoming a giant.
