Fang Yang spent the entire morning in the editing department, watching Wu Wei and his team work diligently and systematically, editing clips frame by frame. He would occasionally analyze the editing process for Wu Wei, and the whole process was quite organized.
Just as lunchtime arrived, the editing of the first episode was perfectly completed, and Yang Huajin came to see him. "Xiao Yang, I've been looking for you everywhere. Let's go to the office to talk about something after lunch?"
“Okay, no problem, let’s go together later. Minister Wu, from now on, just follow this approach. If there are any delays in executions, call me and we’ll try our best to avoid detours.” Fang Yang gave Wu Wei another round of instructions. Wu Wei spent the morning editing according to Fang Yang’s approach, and his confidence increased greatly.
After the meal, Fang Yang and Yang Huajin slowly returned to the office. It had been more than two months since they last visited the office, but it was still spotless, clearly indicating that someone regularly came to clean it.
Fang Yang turned on the stove to boil water. The bottled water that had been there had been replaced with brand new water. He grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them into the communal cup. While waiting for the water to boil, Fang Yang looked at Yang Huajin and asked, "Uncle Yang, isn't today a holiday? Why did you rush over here? Is something the matter?"
"Yes, there are some things. I came here today mainly because I just received a notification from Dadi Cinemas. Dadi Cinemas will be opening bids immediately after the holiday, and we need to start preparing our bid presentations!"
"Is the date confirmed? Have we completed all the preparations on our side?"
"It's confirmed to be the 4th. Relevant government departments will also be present. I heard that the higher-ups attach great importance to it. In order to alleviate the financial difficulties of Dadi Real Estate Group and some delivery issues, the higher-ups are quite eager for the return of funds. Leaders from relevant banks will also be involved."
"Oh? In that case, it would be very advantageous for us, since only we have the capability to acquire it outright."
Yang Huajin gave a wry smile. "In that case, it might be a bit difficult for us to acquire the shares at a low price, since the higher-ups are focused on getting more funds back."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "What does their desire to recoup more funds have to do with us? This isn't state-owned asset, it doesn't involve the loss of state-owned assets, and there's no conflict of interest. What's the point of us acquiring it? Our goal has always been to acquire at a low price, but we don't necessarily have to acquire it. We're not begging them!"
Yang Huajin thought for a moment, "That's right, I was too eager to succeed. Thinking like this, I feel more confident. As long as we stick to our bottom line, they'll be begging us in the end. In that case, we'll still have the upper hand in the negotiations!"
Fang Yang gave Yang Huajin an approving look. "That makes perfect sense! How's the company been running lately?"
Yang Huajin said excitedly, "Great! This is better than ever before! You don't know, the letters inviting you to write songs have piled up like a mountain lately. Among them are some superstars, even some from Hong Kong. Some of them want to join our company, but I haven't agreed yet because I haven't received your approval."
Fang Yang nodded, "Forget about those who ask for songs. We have more than enough of our own, why should we let others have them? We don't need that little bit of song request fee. If you want to join us, you should investigate the character of these people first, and then give me a list."
"Zheng Xiuli has now soared to new heights. The Shanghai TV station specially invited her to participate in the New Year's Gala, specifically requesting her to sing 'Easily Hurt Woman.' The Guangdong province also extended a strong invitation, and Shandong province, neighboring Jiangnan, and Kyoto all sent invitations because we have a close relationship with Shanghai. So this time, we chose Shanghai TV station."
"Now that she's famous, we need to make sure she maintains a good image. We should turn down any offers that are just for easy money. You should talk to her agent later and make sure she puts a positive image first. Our company isn't short of that little bit of money!"
"Don't worry, Xiaoyang. Zheng Xiuli's manager is quite upright and takes good care of her. She blocked some unreliable gigs from her before."
"Is that alright? Is there anything else?"
Yang Huajin hesitated for a moment, "The other reason is that the company has expanded too quickly recently, and now we don't have enough office space. Buying land to build the company headquarters needs to be put on the agenda!"
Fang Yang scratched his head, looking a little troubled. "Let's rent another building. Let's get the Dadi Cinema thing sorted out first, and then we can think about the office location next year. If all else fails, we can buy a piece of land near West Lake. The conditions there are no worse than in Shanghai."
"It should be possible. This is a complete relocation, and it's a tourist theme park that fits into Xihu City. It might not be considered a big project in Shanghai, but in Xihu City, it would definitely be a top priority for government officials. Some tax incentives are inevitable."
Fang Yang was a little troubled. Having lived in the city for over twenty years, he was still reluctant to move to another city. "After the holiday, send someone over there to make contact and see if it's possible. If it is, then we'll move the whole thing to Xihu City. It's really inconvenient to have offices scattered here and there like this."
"Don't worry, I'll have someone go to Xihu City to make contact and see their attitude." Yang Huajin was also troubled. He was running around to different buildings every day, wasting most of his time on the road. Coordination between departments was often very inconvenient due to the different buildings in different locations.
Yuewen Entertainment Media Group is a rising star in the industry, but in Shanghai, a major international metropolis where land is incredibly valuable, it is just an insignificant little company that no one takes seriously. Even though it has unlimited potential for future development, its assets are only a few billion yuan, and it has no say in Shanghai!
"Another major problem is that the company's website server room is already close to full capacity. We need to consider whether to rebuild the server room or lease a server room. We need to plan ahead for this."
