Yang Ruoqian looked at Ma Shou who was trying to stop him from continuing, and was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to come here to invest?"
In Mr. Yang’s eyes, this map is not a map, but a guide to using a money shredder!
He hadn't even said he was happy yet, why was he stopped? Ma Shou waved his hands quickly: "Boss Yang, I asked you to invest, not to lose money... I admit that the objective environment in our county is not as good as that in big cities. I admit this. If you continue to spend so much money, our small place can't provide such a large market. What if you lose money?"
Ma Shou certainly wants to attract investment, but if even a big boss like Yang Ruoqian fails in their small county, wouldn't it be more difficult to raise funds in the future?
Now the county town has only been unable to find investment for five or six years. If the undefeated golden body of the Kuiguang Group is shattered here, the adverse impact may last for more than 10 years! Ma Shou will definitely not do such a thing of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Yang Ruoqian flew here from far away, invited the county engineering team to make a movie, stimulated the economy and created jobs, and was willing to spend money to invest locally. Ma Shou could not do anything to rip him off.
For both moral and logical reasons, and for both public and private reasons, Ma Shou had to stop Yang Ruoqian's irrational behavior.
He originally thought that the reason why Yang Ruoqian looked unmoved was because he looked down upon what he said. But now it seems that he disliked what he said and felt that the total investment amount was not large enough.
It's like a customer comes into a store to buy something, and the salesman Ma Shou keeps introducing the store's treasures. As a result, the customer gets impatient after listening for a long time and says directly, "Except for this and that, pack up everything else and take away."
It sounds bold and refreshing, but it always gives people a very scary feeling.
It's like someone is having diarrhea! The diarrhea-like investment of Kuiguang Group can sometimes be really frightening.
Yang Ruoqian suddenly realized what was going on: "So Director Ma is worried about this problem... Are you worried that the failure of our project will affect your investment attraction?"
Ma Shou: “?”
No, that's not what he meant! At least not completely! Yang Ruoqian ignored Ma Shou's expression and waved his hand: "If you are worried about this problem, Director Ma, you can rest assured. I used the money in the company's charity account for this investment. I will also declare to the outside world that it is Kuiguang Group's assistance to you. It's a charity project, so it doesn't matter whether it makes a loss or not."
"Just feel free to introduce what you need, instead of helping me figure out whether I can make money or not. Whether I can make a profit is my business. If you need any investment, just tell me directly, don't think too much about it."
Ma Shou was somewhat moved when he heard this: "Boss Yang, you are really... I feel a little ashamed of what you said."
People of their generation are not afraid of hard work, but they would feel embarrassed to receive help like this that is free and does not seek much in return.
However, this investment concerns the interests of the entire county, and Ma Shou cannot shirk his responsibility because of his personal feelings.
Now that Yang Ruoqian has said so, he certainly can't be polite anymore.
Seeing that Ma Shou had fallen into the trap of money and couldn't extricate himself, Yang Ruoqian nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you can add our investment team's work WeChat and contact them if there is any new progress."
The components of this investment team include Qi Mu as the organizer and coordinator, and other employees whose names cannot be mentioned as traders.
It was for this reason that Yang Ruoqian took away the company's backbone members, especially Shao Yiqi.
Letting low-level investment managers take charge of these projects will result in more losses.
Ma Shou nodded: "Okay, okay, Mr. Yang, you really took the trouble. Whatever help you need from us, we will definitely follow up as quickly as possible! Do you need us to arrange dinner for today?"
Ma Shou had also heard about the consumption standards of the Kuiguang Group. An entertainment of this scale would definitely exceed the standards, so he planned to pay for this dinner out of his own pocket.
Yang Ruoqian waved his hand: "No need to trouble Director Ma, but our company is having a dinner party tonight, do you want to come?"
Are you kidding? It has always been the Kuiguang Group that treats everyone to dinner. How could anyone else treat them to dinner?
You still want to treat Kuiguang Group to a meal? There is no such good thing in the world.
Ma Shou quickly shook his head: "Boss Yang, this is not good. It has a bad impact."
The two had just concluded a very exaggerated project, and then went to the Kuiguang Group's dinner party in the evening for a big dinner. They both felt a chill on their backs.
"Okay." Yang Ruoqian also understood what Ma Shou meant, and said nothing more, "Then we'll leave first. Director Ma, take care of yourself."
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian stood up and left the reception room.
Yang Ruoqian and Ma Shou didn't care much about table etiquette and culture - as long as they could get the deal done, those trivial things didn't matter at all.
On the contrary, Yang Ruoqian hated this kind of cumbersome formalities of guessing each other.
Speaking up when there is something to say is the main cultural core of Kuiguang Group.
After talking about the whole thing, there was no unnecessary politeness, no pushing me around, no gifts or treats, and it just felt very comfortable.
After Yang Ruoqian left the reception room, he quickly left the guesthouse and came to the only star-rated hotel in the county.
The environment here is naturally worse than that of hotels in big cities, but looking around, it is already the best environment.
Ma Shou even repeatedly instructed the hotel manager to give the best treatment to the bosses of Kuiguang Group.
…
After a day's rest, the convoy drove out of the county.
Half an hour later, they followed a winding path and came to a group of buildings hidden in a valley in the woods.
From the outside, it looks like a large complex surrounded by high walls, with surveillance cameras and security personnel inside to ensure control and secrecy. There is a simple security checkpoint at the gate, which looks heavily guarded. If we didn't know in advance that this is a film set and didn't see staff walking around in the building, we wouldn't even be able to tell whether it was a real scam park.
Shang Qianyu leaned against the car window, looking at the "Fraud Park" that was almost restored to its original size, and he let out a long exclamation: "Wow, this park looks like a small fortress."
The exterior design of the park is simple, with the most standard infrared-walled concrete building structure. However, from the layout point of view, the living and working areas composed of multiple buildings are clearly arranged, and are designed to accommodate as many people as possible in the smallest possible space.
The accommodation area not far away has buildings covered with glass that looks very cheap and fragile.
From a distance, you can see that the accommodation area may include tightly packed dormitory buildings filled with double bunks.
After she finished her sigh, she turned around and asked curiously, "Boss, what role do I play in the promotional video?"
In order to prevent the accidental leakage of the script and to find an excuse to slow down the progress of the filming of the promotional video, thereby reducing efficiency and increasing costs, Yang Ruoqian issued an order that the actors were not allowed to read the script before arriving on the set.
So Shang Qianyu naturally didn't know what role he was going to play.
Mr. Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was playing with his phone while casually saying, "Do you even need to ask? You can only act like a fool who was deceived."
In order to make the crew's daily work and life more convenient, Yang Ruoqian also specially built a communication base station antenna for the park so that the crew can connect to the Internet anytime and anywhere.
Shang Qianyu had no objection to this identity. She nodded and said, "Okay...but boss, I have never been defrauded. How can I act like one? Isn't it too late to practice my acting skills on the spot now?"
Chang Zhiqing, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't stand it anymore. She complained, "Xiao Shang, you don't need to practice. Just act naturally. Act like you normally would. It's guaranteed to be lifelike."
Shang Qianyu said, "Ah!" "Is this really all that's going to work?"
"Sure." Chang Zhiqing forced herself to hold back her laughter and nodded seriously, "You look perfect for playing the role of a girl who was tricked into working illegally in the industrial park."
Alas, silly child! Soon, the convoy drove into the park.
In the park, there were not only security guards and various staff gathered, but also several people with thin bodies, some with obvious injuries, both men and women.
Shang Qianyu shrank his neck back and spoke in a lower voice: "Boss, Madam Boss, are those people also extras you invited?"
It is impossible that the fraud park will only have the leading actors brought by their crew. Only with the presence of various extras can the scene be more vivid and realistic.
Of course... For the sake of the quality and technicality of the promotional video, other staff responsible for logistics can be recruited from the county to boost local employment and economy, but the same cannot be done for extras.
After all, the nature of anti-fraud propaganda films and "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" is different... It would be more realistic to find some college students with no acting skills to play the role of the audience of the football match.
However, if an anti-fraud propaganda film lets some extras with no acting skills to play the role of fraudsters or victims, it will be very distracting.
Yang Ruoqian shook his head: "The extras will have to wait a day or two before they arrive. During this time, you crew just need to familiarize yourself with the environment and read the script... I specially invited these people, special guests who have truly experienced the 'hardships' of the park over there."
Shang Qianyu nodded suddenly: "I understand, boss."
After parking the car, the crew first moved their personal belongings to the dormitory building.
The top floor of the dormitory building in the park is a dormitory specially provided for the crew, and the room environment is comparable to that of a five-star executive suite.
Except for the security guards, all other staff and extras will be sent back to the county town by special vehicles after finishing a day's work and stay in a hotel in the county town.
After packing up, the staff and special guests were already waiting downstairs.
After all, celebrities have only appeared in the news and stories. No matter how good their acting skills are, they have no idea what they are facing or what they should do when faced with a crisis.
The eyewitnesses who witnessed the incident must recreate the entire process exactly as it happened so that the actors will know how to act.
It's considered lucky for them to come back intact.
Many people can only come back piece by piece...
In fact, many of those who have been defrauded are not without awareness of fraud prevention - they cannot find such high-paying jobs in China, let alone good job opportunities abroad where the employment environment is even worse and the economic development is even worse.
However, many companies use the excuse of team-building and overseas travel to deceive people during transit, which is the most difficult to guard against.
"This script is very professional." Yang Ruoqian looked at the script and nodded, "It's worthy of being written by eyewitnesses and a professional screenwriter team... I'm interested in it after reading it."
"It's called All or Nothing, which is pretty good."
When it comes to casting in movies, Yang Ruoqian is quite particular. He gave many instructions and finally gave the role of the villain "Manager Lu" to Zhang Wei.
With the release of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" and its huge success, coupled with his excellent and funny performances on variety shows, Zhang Wei's popularity in the entertainment industry has risen sharply.
But there is also a not-so-good sign - many viewers have already formed inherent labels for Zhang Wei such as "funny" and "comedian".
If he doesn't dilute these stereotypes and labels with another work as soon as possible, his future path will become narrower and narrower, and he will be completely trapped in one image and unable to struggle out.
It is even possible that the audience only remembers the name of the character played by Zhang Wei, but not Zhang Wei himself.
If the leader of a fraud gang can play the role well, he can effectively shatter this label.
However, these are just operational ideas, and Yang Ruoqian is not interested in them - as long as he can tie his own artists to this unprofitable promotional video, it will be enough.
Shang Qianyu looked at the script in his hand and asked quietly, "Boss, are you living here during this period?"
Yang Ruoqian nodded twice: "I'll stay for a few days. When the extras come over, I'll leave after I've explained everything... I still have some things to deal with at the company."
This time the system gave a very general and abstract task, saying that it was going to give a big surprise to the entertainment industry?
So what is a surprise? Yang Ruoqian has no idea yet.
Moreover, as the end of the year is approaching, the Kuiguang Group’s annual reserved project, the annual money-spending conference, will also begin preparations.
As a company boss rather than a director, Yang Ruoqian's presence on the crew actually did not play much of a crucial role in the filming progress.
"Well... I just feel that this place is eerie and a little scary." Shang Qianyu shuddered, "Is it really dangerous?"
"What kind of danger could there be?" Yang Ruoqian smiled. "This place is a one-to-one replica of the real fraud park, and the security force is also very strong."
Just as the two were chatting, Yang Ruoqian's cell phone suddenly rang.
He waved his hand and told Shang Qianyu to go play by himself, then looked at his phone.
Qi Mu: "Boss Yang, Song Qianhe, the team leader who is in charge of the anti-fraud promotional film, said that he would bring people to our studio for a visit. They will probably arrive tomorrow. I will let you know."
(There will be another chapter later, probably around 23:50, or maybe a little later. If you don’t want to wait, you can read it tomorrow morning~) (End of this chapter)
