After waiting for another ten minutes or so, I finally received a call from Ouyang Ming, who said we should meet at the Rose Hall.
Fang Yang and Zhou Kai got up and went to the Rose Hall. Tian Xiaoyun had already arrived at the door to wait. As soon as Fang Yang and Zhou Kai arrived, she hurriedly came to greet them, "Hello, President Fang. Secretary Ouyang will be here soon. Please come in and have a seat."
Fang Yang waved his hand, "It's okay, we'll wait here for a bit, there's nothing wrong with going in."
Seeing that Fang Yang insisted, Tian Xiaoyun didn't say anything, so she stayed by Fang Yang's side and said a few words from time to time to liven up the atmosphere.
A few minutes later, Ouyang Ming came upstairs surrounded by a large group of people. Seeing Fang Yang standing at the door, he reached out and said with a smile, "President Fang, you look more and more energetic than ever in the past six months."
"Secretary Ouyang, I'm bothering you again. May I ask for a drink or two? I hope it won't interfere with your work."
"Haha, Mr. Fang, you're welcome to come anytime. Xihu City is your home too!"
"That's right, I misspoke," Fang Yang chuckled, then shook hands with Zhou Hongguang, who was right behind him. "Hello, Mayor Zhou. I'll be relying on you for Yuewen Entertainment Group from now on."
Zhou Hongguang is in charge of the city's economic work and is the direct management body of Yuewen Entertainment Group. "President Fang, please don't say that. We all work under the leadership of the Party. The fact that Yuewen Entertainment Group was able to relocate to Xihu City has created huge tax revenue and employment opportunities for Xihu City, which is a huge support for Xihu City. Secretary Ouyang has made great contributions to this, and we should all thank Secretary Ouyang."
Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "You two shouldn't disturb other people's work here. Let's go inside and eat. It's getting late."
There weren't many people eating today, just the two secretaries who came with them, and the office director, etc. Although the atmosphere was lively, we didn't drink as much alcohol. We had to go to the municipal government in the afternoon to formally sign a contract, and it wouldn't be good to go there drunk.
After the meal, since it was still early, the three of them moved to a tea room to chat over tea. "Mr. Fang, I've finished all the site preparation and leveling work for you. When are you going to start construction?"
"The planning map has been basically finalized, and only the last bit of refinement is needed. Construction can start by the end of this month at the latest."
How long will the construction period take, according to the design?
"Well, the company headquarters alone will take two years to build. But the company headquarters also has the longest construction period. It is estimated that the whole project will be completed in about two years."
"Two years is great! I heard you put a lot of thought and effort into this planning map."
Seeing Ouyang Mingxin's eager expression, Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "There are only a few minor changes. Since Secretary Ouyang and Mayor Zhou are both here today, they can give us their opinions on our planning map."
Fang Yang called Zhou Kai and asked him to bring down the planning map. "President Fang, if there's anything confidential, then it's best not to look at it."
"If it's just a look and not leaked, it's fine, since it involves their planning results."
"That's for sure. Besides, we're all laymen; we're just watching the show."
Zhou Kai was very quick; he took the computer down in just a few minutes.
Fang Yang turned on his computer and naturally began by introducing the construction plan of the company's headquarters building. Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang were also taken aback. There are many tall buildings in Xihu City, some even reaching 55 floors, but it is rare for a company like Yuewen Media to occupy three underground floors and 33 floors above ground.
"President Fang, that's quite a move! This is the tallest building in Xihu City for the company headquarters."
Then, Fang Yang introduced a large lawn behind the headquarters building. "Secretary Ouyang, Mayor Zhou, look at this area. It's currently designed as a lawn, originally reserved by the company for future office buildings, but it's not needed yet. So the design team designed a large lawn. My idea is to build a sports stadium here, so that employees also have a place for leisure and entertainment. So we need to make some changes and build a few stadiums. Do you two leaders have any suggestions?"
Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang took a closer look. "President Fang's suggestion is indeed good. The country is now advocating for national fitness. Instead of leaving this place empty, it would be better to build a stadium here. I also think it's a good idea."
As a leader of the municipal government, Zhou Hongguang is particularly sensitive to this issue. "At that time, your Yuewen Entertainment Group can also form teams to participate in various sports competitions organized by the government. You will have your own training venue, which is a unique advantage."
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, leader. We will definitely support your work. In addition, the group itself will hold a sports meet every year to improve the physical fitness of employees."
Skipping over the pictures of the computer room, the two leaders' real intention was to look at the planning map of the children's theme park. When Fang Yang introduced the planning map named "Phoenix Soaring to the Nine Heavens," Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang showed expressions of shock. It was truly awe-inspiring!
"President Fang, I have a feeling that once this project is completed, it will definitely be a landmark building in Xihu City, and it has a certain possibility of being selected as one of the world's top ten buildings."
"You two leaders, when I first saw it this morning, I had the same feeling. It seems that some of the senior professors from the Architectural Design Institute of Shanghai University have brought out their most treasured drawings."
The two men continued to admire the aerial view, never expecting such a pleasant surprise from a casual suggestion today. "President Fang, seeing this plan, I really want to see the results right away. You must ensure the quality of the project; you can't ruin this labor of love!"
"Please rest assured, leaders. We also hired them as third-party supervisors. Without their consent, the construction team cannot make the slightest alteration."
"Yes, this plan is simply ingenious. Even the slightest change could ruin such a perfect design. Mr. Fang, you have done a great job."
Other garden designs naturally failed to attract the attention of the two leaders; there are too many buildings like this in West Lake City, and after seeing them so many times, they are nothing special.
Seeing that the two leaders were in high spirits, Fang Yang remembered the problem with the riverbank and brought it up, saying, "Leaders, we have a problem here that we hope you can solve."
"Oh? What is it?"
Fang Yang pointed to the Qiantang River line and said, “Look here, leaders. When we conducted the on-site survey, we found that this land had been flooded. If we don’t solve this problem once construction starts, the park may be flooded if the Qiantang River rises in the future. So we hope that this line can be raised a bit. Of course, we can solve the problem within the park ourselves, but we hope that you two leaders can take care of the problem outside the park.”
Ouyang Ming took a closer look and determined that the area covered several kilometers. "That's no problem. Besides, this is something the government should do anyway. What do you think, Mayor Zhou?"
Zhou Hongguang laughed and said, "Originally, there was a riverbank protection fund every year. This area was uninhabited before, so we didn't pay attention to it. Now that President Fang is developing here, our government should solve these problems and relieve investors' worries."
