The two hadn't been talking for long when they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Zhou Kai got up and opened the door to find Ouyang Ming's secretary standing there. Upon seeing Zhou Kai, the secretary quickly said, "Secretary Ouyang asked me to check if you're done with your work. If possible, please go to the conference room now!"
Fang Yang glanced at the time and was surprised to find that it was already three o'clock after only a few words.
"Please tell Secretary Ouyang that we'll be there right away."
"No rush, no rush. I'll wait for you here. I know the place, so it'll be better if I take you there."
Seeing this, Zhou Kai went out and knocked on the doors of the next room. The people who were already prepared came out of their rooms and followed Fang Yang toward the conference room.
In the large conference room, Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang, along with the leaders of relevant departments, were already seated to one side. When they saw Fang Yang and the others enter, they waved and said, "President Fang, come and sit down. The heads of our relevant departments are all here now. Tell us your demands."
Fang Yang understood Ouyang Ming's meaning. Private talks were private, but when it came to the government level, the topic had to be brought to the table so that all parties could have a clear understanding.
After taking their seats in turn, Fang Yang took the microphone handed to him by Secretary Ouyang Ming. "Good afternoon, everyone. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Yang, and I am the chairman of Shanghai Yuewen Entertainment Media Group. The reason I am here in Xihu City is that the company's development has encountered a bottleneck. To put it bluntly, we need a lot of land resources to build our company's grand blueprint."
Fang Yang took a sip of water. "Distinguished leaders, this 'large amount' refers to at least three thousand acres of land. Our company previously sent staff to investigate various locations and made some discoveries in your city. Of course, this is also related to Secretary Ouyang's strong invitation. When Secretary Ouyang heard about our plan, he strongly recommended that we come and investigate, as perhaps we could find a perfect solution!"
"First, let me introduce our company's plans so that everyone here has a clear understanding."
"As you all probably know, our company is an entertainment media company. But that's just the surface. We're not only a film and television company, but we also own a comprehensive film and television website with over 200 million registered accounts. It's a comprehensive website integrating music, film and television, a book website, and calligraphy and painting. We also have an animation production division, a special effects production division, a music division, and a top-five cinema chain in the country. You could say we're a unique comprehensive entertainment group in the whole country!"
The leaders of various departments in Xihu City are busy with government affairs every day and know nothing about the entertainment industry, let alone the newly established Yuewen Entertainment Media!
Upon hearing Fang Yang's introduction, they couldn't help but inquire among themselves. Of course, they knew nothing about it, since they were separated by a layer of skin. Who would bother to care about an entertainment company, especially since they were all leaders of various departments who were busy with government affairs every day!
Seeing that everyone looked like they had never heard of it, Fang Yang smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, you are all busy with government affairs and other matters every day. Let me talk about our company's development plan instead!"
"Our company is a group company specializing in film and television production. Due to the needs of the group's development, the first project requires the construction of a group headquarters that can accommodate several thousand people, as well as supporting employee dormitories. This is the plan for the first project, and of course, it is also the plan that takes the least amount of land."
"Secondly, as I just mentioned, the company has a large comprehensive film and television website. Due to development needs, we plan to rebuild a cloud data center, which will require at least 500 acres of land to meet the needs."
"The third thing is that the company plans to build a large children's theme park. In other words, it will bring to life the scenes from the animated films produced by the company, so that children and parents from all over the world can come and experience the life in the animated films. This scene will take up a large area, requiring 2,000 acres of land."
"Around this children's park, we will also build some large-scale IP photography scenes, which will be integrated into the park. It will take about 1,000 acres of land, including buildings for eating, drinking, playing, and accommodation."
"As a film and television company, we also plan to build a unique seven-star comprehensive film and television city, a photography base, a security company, an affiliated comprehensive school, and a community hospital with emergency functions. The total investment will reach more than 500 billion yuan, which can solve the employment needs of more than 10,000 people in the local area!"
"Finally, we also plan to build two large factories, one a garment factory and the other a toy factory, both to produce merchandise to complement our films and TV series. They will be quite large in scale."
Fang Yang put down the microphone. "That's the general plan. I may add more later. Does anyone here have any questions?"
The leader from the land resources department was the first to stand up. "Mr. Fang, according to your plan, it will require at least 4,000 mu of land. I don't know how much the subsequent construction will cost, but where will your funds come from for the first step of land acquisition?"
Fang Yang picked up the microphone and said, "You can rest assured about this. Our company has no intention of taking out loans for anything. We will never use land to raise funds like other companies do. All our funds come from our own financial resources, and our finances are very healthy!"
"Mr. Fang, you should know that once the project starts, the funds for the first step of purchasing the land must be in place. This amount of money is enormous, and we may need to verify the funds in advance!"
Once the topic was brought up, the leaders of each department began to ask questions about the issues they were concerned about.
"Haha, please rest assured, leader. Once the land contract is signed, you will not need to verify the funds. All funds will be transferred to your designated account within three days, and we will not delay payment of a single penny."
"As Mr. Fang knows, there are strict regulations on land use now. What is your construction plan?"
"Haha, as you all know, we are relocating as a whole, so our first step in construction is the construction of the company headquarters, employee dormitories, and cloud data center. These are urgently needed right now, so once the contract is signed, we will start construction immediately. Time waits for no one!"
"Mr. Fang, as you know, once the contract is signed, the land use cannot be changed. How can you guarantee that?"
"As for that, I don't think I need to guarantee it. Land policy stipulates that land cannot be bought and left unused, right? There's also a time limit, right? We can sign an agreement with you on this point, and proceed with construction step by step according to the timeline, accepting your supervision."
"Mr. Fang, according to your plan, the entire construction will require 500 billion yuan, right? Could you explain where this funding will come from? I don't think your company has that much capital, does it?"
"For that, you'll need to look up our company online. I took over the company last summer when it only had 100,000 yuan. Now, the company has over 10 billion yuan in assets. At this rate of profit, supporting the company's development shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Fang Yang's words were like a bomb dropped in the conference room, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm. They started whispering and discussing among themselves, while others took out their phones to search online to see if it was true!
