Luo Cheng was very tempted after hearing this. His wife and son were taking care of his parents in their hometown, and they could only see each other once a year during the Spring Festival. If they could come over, their combined income would be 25,000 yuan, which would be enough to take care of his parents and son. In addition, they would have social insurance and housing fund, so even when he got old, he would have a source of income.
Seeing that Luo Cheng was very interested, Fang Yang added fuel to the fire, "The company headquarters will be located in Xihu City. Your child will be able to study here, and the educational resources will definitely be much better than back home. Moreover, from kindergarten to high school, the entire school will be run by the group company, with three meals a day and tuition and fees all free. The school will also be located next to the cafeteria, making it convenient for you to take care of your child. Of course, if you don't want to, you can rent a storefront in the park and be your own boss, but it may take a year or two, as the park's construction is slower than the headquarters' construction."
Seeing that Luo Cheng didn't quite understand, Fang Yang explained, "When we moved to Xihu City and bought 5,000 acres of land, the main reason was that we wanted to build this children's theme park. The idea for the children's theme park came from the animated films produced by our company. Each animated film is a scenic spot. The more animated films there are, the more scale the scenic spots will form. In short, it's a children's theme park."
"In addition, the company shoots some series of movies, and the construction costs of some scenes are quite high, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. We can't just leave them idle or dismantle them after filming is completed. That's why it's necessary to build a film and television city. This film and television city is built next to the children's theme park, complementing the children's theme park. The restaurants are built on the planned streets to receive tourists."
After Fang Yang's explanation, Luo Cheng finally had a general understanding. In other words, if you want a stable life, go to the canteen; if you want to make a lot of money, open a restaurant. But whether you can make a lot of money depends on your skills. If you are good at the catering industry, you can earn more money in a year than you can spend in a lifetime.
Luo Cheng thought it over and over, but he still wasn't sure. The main problem was that the business of the children's theme park was still uncertain, and no one could guarantee anything at the moment.
"Mr. Fang, which one should I choose, according to your opinion?"
Seeing Luo Cheng's hesitant expression, Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's up to you to choose. But with your current income, you can work as a chef in our company cafeteria first. Once the children's theme park opens, you can decide whichever option you choose. Either way, it's much better than what you're doing now."
After wavering, Luo Cheng finally listened to Fang Yang's advice and decided to work in Fang Yang's company canteen for a while first. After the general direction was set, Fang Yang asked Luo Cheng, "Old Luo, Hengdian World Studios has a lot of tourists and film crews every year, and your skills are outstanding. You should be earning more than 10,000 yuan a month, right?"
Luo Cheng smiled wryly and said, "President Fang, you don't know this. Hengdian World Studios may seem to be in a town, but the rent for shops is more expensive than in the city. Film crews usually choose boxed meals, and tourists who come in and play for a day usually choose to eat in the hotel. Restaurants like mine, which are located on the outskirts, are only used by directors who film here all year round. Besides, my space is limited, and I can't accommodate more people."
Fang Yang suddenly realized, "It seems like there are a lot of people, but actually most of the extras choose to eat boxed lunches. If tourists come, this place can't accommodate them because it's too small. So, we only do business in the evening. But because the place is remote, we end up only doing business with regular customers. So, no matter how good the food is, it's limited because it's in a deep alley."
Mo Zhen gave a thumbs up, "Brilliant!"
After figuring out the reason, Fang Yang didn't delve into it further. "Old Luo, who else is in your family?"
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "My wife and children are back in our hometown, taking care of my ailing parents. My child is ten years old this year and is in the fourth grade at the town's primary school."
“Long-term separation is not easy either. I’m afraid if you don’t go home for two years, the child might not even recognize you at first glance. This is not good for either the adults or the children. Okay, just hang in there for a little over a year, and then come to my company. A family reunion is better than anything else!”
Back at the hotel, after a video call with Zhou Xin, Fang Yang resumed his work on "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
The next day, Fang Yang and the Mo brothers set off from Hengdian at around 3 a.m. and spent more than two hours arriving at the West Lake office of Yuewen Entertainment Group. After Zhou Kai obtained the formal land permit, he booked an entire small hotel in the University Town as a place for the employees to stay.
At the same time, at Fang Yang's suggestion, Yuewen Entertainment Group was established. The original Shanghai company had been constrained by the lack of space and had not yet completed the business registration procedures for the headquarters. This time, it was done in one go, and all business operations here would be paid from the headquarters account, which reduced a lot of trouble.
Yang Huajin also made a special trip from Shanghai today. When Fang Yang arrived, the two of them were waiting in the hotel lobby. As soon as Fang Yang and the other two arrived, they came up to greet them, saying, "Xiao Yang, you must be tired from your journey. Go upstairs and rest for a bit."
Fang Yang and the others brought only a few changes of clothes. They followed Yang Huajin and Zhou Kai to the top floor, where Zhou Kai reserved the largest guest room for Fang Yang, which could be used as both a workspace and a place to rest.
Zhou Kai led the way and opened the door with a magnetic card. "Xiao Yang, this room has been reserved for you. You can stay here whenever you come. It's cleaned regularly. Keep this magnetic card for future use."
Fang Yang watched Zhou Kai insert the magnetic card into the card slot. "Alright, since we'll be staying here for quite a while anyway, are all the preparations for tomorrow's opening ceremony done?"
The five people sat around the table, and Zhou Kai turned on the power switch to boil water. "The preparations are all done. The city is making quite a show of force. I heard that some high-ranking officials from the province will be attending, so the city will take over the preparations for tomorrow. We just need to cooperate."
Fang Yang chuckled and said, "That's perfect, saves us the trouble. This tea set was bought here, it looks quite high-end."
"Yes, you're often here, how can you entertain guests without tea sets? This tea set cost tens of thousands of yuan, but we can still use it when we move it to headquarters."
"Uncle Zhou has gotten so tanned these past few months, Auntie probably won't recognize him when we get back."
"Hey, running around construction sites every day, how can I not get tanned? I'm not like you young guys, what's wrong with getting a little tanned?"
"Hey Uncle Zhou, with the storm a couple of days ago, did the construction site flood? Did the Qiantang River overflow its banks?"
"No, the government has reinforced the riverbank and raised the entire embankment by more than a meter. I checked the other day and the water level was still more than two meters above the embankment. Even if it rains for a few more days, there shouldn't be any problem."
"It's still under construction, so please keep a close eye on it. If there's a risk of flooding, contact the government as soon as possible. If we raise issues after all the work is completed, it will be difficult to continue construction."
"Okay, I'll keep a close eye on that. Anyway, the construction period is two years, and all sorts of things can happen."
