When Zhao Dong stood up, he closed the browsing page on his computer.
"Best-selling author, young screenwriter..."
Oh, how much money can you make?
The initial accumulation of any capital is very slow. The Zhao family has its current wealth after three generations of hard work. Although the means of making a fortune are not glorious, most people who want to make a fortune in this way do not have the luck of the Zhao family.
Zhao Dong's logic is very self-consistent. He never feels ashamed of the way his father and his aunt accumulated wealth. Zhao Dong feels that most people in the world are hypocritical in words, but if they were to switch places with the Zhao family, they would run away faster than the Zhao family when they encounter the opportunity to live off them!
Moreover, after returning to China, the Zhao family was carefully packaged. Now, in the eyes of others, they are a family of noble overseas Chinese businessmen who produced a Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty and who made money abroad and came back to invest in the construction of the motherland!
No one knows the Zhao family's past, and he will create a better future for the Zhao family.
How could a little girl from an ordinary family in Chengdu catch up with the wealth accumulated by three generations?
Earning some royalties by chance may be a considerable fortune in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact it is just a drizzle in the eyes of truly rich people.
China's publishing industry is so small that you can't become the second JK Rowling by just writing books. When a book becomes popular, piracy will follow.
If the genuine product can sell 1 million copies, the sales volume of the pirated product may be several times that of the genuine product!
The fame has grown, but the money has all been taken away by pirated booksellers. Even if tens of millions of copies are sold, the author will not receive an extra penny of royalties!
Thinking of this, Zhao Dong felt even happier. No matter how much trouble she caused, she was still just a young girl and was not worthy of the jealousy of the high-spirited President Zhao. Before leaving, President Zhao reminded his secretary to bring a few more copies of "Zhao Family Letters" as he would give them to someone later.
Xie Jinghu's idea was indeed a good one. Now, no matter what kind of drinking party or meeting, if Zhao Dong met someone for the first time, he would give them a copy of "Zhao Family Letters" to start a conversation immediately.
This is much better than handing out business cards and introducing yourself to everyone you meet.
A business card can only print a few lines of words, but a book can contain a lot of content.
Although the people who received the books donated by Zhao Dong may not necessarily read "Zhao Family Letters", if they want to learn about Zhao Dong, "Zhao Family Letters" becomes an excellent way.
Zhao Dong has also appeared in some TV interviews.
He talked at length about the noble family tradition of the Zhao family and also about the success theories in modern society. He gave people the impression of being a Confucian businessman and a returned elite who cared about the development of the motherland.
Doing so not only allowed Zhao Dong to quickly integrate into the local cultural circle of Chengdu, but also made his personality deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The leaders of relevant departments in Chengdu have all heard of Zhao Dong's name. If Zhao Dong can solve the funding problem, it is not a bad idea to grant the park license to Zhao Dong. You must know that before this, Zhao Dong was never on the consideration list of relevant departments. He does not have the ability to plan and develop the park. If he obtained the park license only to make money by reselling it, the government might as well grant it directly to a group company that has the ability to develop it!
For a new theme park, it doesn’t matter how much the government collects in land transfer fees. What matters is that the establishment of a large theme park can create a lot of jobs, boost the local tourism economy, and even become a local tourism business card.
Chengdu is located in the southwest basin. The ancient Shu Kingdom has endowed it with historical and cultural heritage. Entering a new era, it is definitely not possible to develop solely by relying on the previous heritage.
In addition to history and humanities, there must be something else, new labels.
Previously, Wen Ying and others organized a food festival to promote the night snack stall business. This gave Director Lu from the street an opportunity to let the leaders see the power of the "food" business card.
Chengdu’s greatest features include delicious food, the national treasure giant panda, old teahouses on the streets, and the leisurely pace of city life.
In addition to these, it is also necessary to inject youthful elements and vitality into the city...a large theme park that attracts young people!
The theme park project approved last year is under construction.
It does not affect the approval of new projects.
It just so happens that a large and experienced group company is interested in this.
One party had funds and extensive experience in theme park construction and operation, while the other party had the demand and the land to issue licenses. The two parties hit it off immediately, except for the details of the cooperation that had not been negotiated. In order to achieve a win-win situation, they also had to strive for better contract terms. Therefore, from the idea to the signing of the project was a long negotiation process.
In this process, both sides will use some harmless tricks.
The investing party will make the local government feel that they have other options. If they don’t sign the contract quickly, the money and project will be moved to other cities. The local government will then make the investor believe that they can find the second or third party with the capital to build the park!
All business activities have the characteristics of testing each other, negotiating and bargaining.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Dong forced his way in. Before he teamed up with Xie Jinghu to obtain financial support, his family assets were not enough to enter the market. Zhao Dong's plan was to obtain the license and then attract other investments!
It's a nice idea, but the local government is not easy to fool now. They will not stop at nothing when they see foreign businessmen and foreign capital. Before Zhao Dong packages himself in all aspects, it is simply a pipe dream for him to use a small amount of money to leverage a project like a large theme park.
It's different now.
Now, there are actually leaders in the cultural and tourism departments who believe in Zhao Dong's abilities.
With a good personal image and a more sincere attitude, if the negotiations with the big group fail, you can also consider Zhao Dong.
The big groups that had contact with the Chengdu government did not immediately notice this change in the wind direction. Many people who drowned could swim, and they did not regard Zhao Dong as an opponent of the same level at first. By the time they realized this, Zhao Dong had already become a big shot!
——So where did this person come from?
It's a new era now, but you're still clinging to the old glory before liberation. That's too much!
Big groups are not pushovers. It would be fine if they didn't know that Zhao Dong was trying to snatch food from other people's bowls, but once they knew, they reacted very quickly and soon found out Zhao Dong's details clearly.
It is quite inspiring that someone immigrated to the United States before liberation and opened a laundry shop in Chinatown to make a living, but the second generation of the Zhao family, one relied on marriage, and the other abandoned his wife and children to live off a rich woman. Such "struggle" is indeed very inspiring!
Looking at Zhao Dong himself... forget it, there's nothing much to see. He has some family background, but has never handled any large-scale physical projects. I don't know what got him thinking that he would set his sights on the theme park project.
It could have been exposed directly, but Zhao Dong's personal image is very positive now. Although his personal funds are insufficient, he has close ties with domestic commercial banks. A hero is not judged by his origins. As long as Zhao Dong really has sufficient funds, it doesn't matter whether the money is borrowed. It is legal and compliant for the Chengdu government to grant the license to Zhao Dong.
The big group was afraid of failure and decided to use a more subtle approach.
The cocktail reception held at the Jinjiang Hotel today is an appetizer before the meal. After the cocktail reception, the bidding meeting for the "main course" will begin!
On the way to Jinjiang Hotel, Zhao Dong saw representatives of the group company sitting in the Song family's living room, making their final lobbying to Song Foxiang.
