Chapter 529: The Idea of Relocating the Headquarters
? Hu Xiaorui arrived as scheduled the next morning. Tian Lai's Novel Ww "W. 『⒉
When Li Dong saw this girl coming again, he called Zhang Meng directly without thinking.
If you don't find something for this girl, Li Dong's office will almost become Hu Xiaorui's playground.
Zhang Meng came quickly, not long after Li Dong put down the phone, Zhang Meng hurried over.
Seeing that there were outsiders in Li Dong's office, Zhang Meng seemed a little cautious. Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Director Zhang, let me introduce you. This is the eldest lady of NARI Group, Hu Xiaorui, who is also my friend."
After speaking, Li Dong introduced to Hu Xiaorui: "This is Director Zhang Meng and Zhang Da, Xiaorui, the script you read yesterday was written by Director Zhang."
When Hu Xiaorui heard it, she was a little interested and said, "You wrote the script yesterday?"
Zhang Meng has been in Jiangbei for a while. NARI Group is quite well-known in the local area, and Zhang Meng has also heard of this company.
Knowing that Hu Xiaorui is Nanrui's eldest lady, Zhang Meng quickly said politely: "Miss Hu, I wrote the script."
"It's very interesting, but it feels a bit depressing to watch. Can you change the script? Make it more cheerful. I like to read humorous ones. Your writing is very good, but not many people like black humor."
When Li Dong heard this, the girl's evaluation was quite professional.
The comedy written by Zhang Meng is indeed a bit depressing. "Blessed Ears" is actually more realistic. It is not a comedy, but more of a realistic documentary.
Movies with this theme, to be honest, have a somewhat small audience.
Zhang Meng himself was aware of this, but Zhang Meng was not in a hurry to speak, but instead glanced at Li Dong.
It's not a big deal to change the script.
Zhang Meng still has some talent in comedy. If he really wants to write comedy, it's not like he can't write it.
He wrote the skits for the Spring Festival Gala. If he had no talent for comedy, Lao Zhao wouldn't use him as his queen screenwriter.
However, the script doesn't change as soon as it's said, and it doesn't mean that anyone can make him change it. He doesn't know Hu Xiaorui, so why should she change it as she says.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Director Zhang,
Didn't you say you were looking for investment? I discussed it with Ms. Hu, and we will jointly invest in your film. What do you think? "
Zhang Meng was delighted when he heard it: "Yes, yes, I am too happy for Miss Hu to invest in my script. If Miss Hu is not satisfied with the script, I can change it until Miss Hu is satisfied!"
Zhang Meng is also in a hurry now, he wants to change careers, but no one likes him.
I have been looking for investment for so long, and there has been no play. Now that Li Dong and the others want to invest, Zhang Meng doesn't care whether to change the script or not.
If it was the period when the script had just won the award, Zhang Meng might not be happy if someone asked him to change the script.
But now that it's come to this point, if you change the script, you can change the script, as long as they are willing to pay for it.
This is his first film, so it's okay even if he can't do it according to his wishes, as long as he enters the industry and has a work, it will be much easier to find someone to invest in next time.
Seeing that Zhang Meng agreed, Li Dong smiled and said, "The director Zhang told me, what is your budget?"
"five million!"
"It's too much, let's say four million. Ms. Hu and I contributed two million each. What do you think?"
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Meng said, "Okay, four million is fine."
In fact, his budget for "Blessed Ears" is really not high. Before, he thought that 3 million would be enough.
The five million is because Li Dong is rich, and he made a false report on purpose.
Now that Li Dong said 4 million, which has reached his psychological expectation, Zhang Meng naturally has no objection.
Li Dong didn't bother to say too much, he just wanted to fight now, and after talking about the investment quota, Li Dong said again: "Director Zhang, I still have a few small requests here, you can think about it after listening."
"Mr. Li, tell me."
"First, the shooting location can't be in the Northeast. You can change the script, and it's better to put it in Jiangbei. Is there a problem?"
Zhang Meng frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "President Li, if you change the background, you may not be able to capture that taste."
"It depends on you, Director Zhang, or you can use the Northeast as the background, but the actual shooting location is Jiangbei, is that okay?"
Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes!"
"Second, Ms. Hu is the producer of the movie."
It is not uncommon for an investor to act as a producer. Zhang Meng immediately said, "No problem."
"Third, the shooting time should be fast. We can get the money right away. You can arrange the personnel to be in place immediately and start the machine as soon as possible. If it can be solved in three days, don't delay it for five days. The sooner the better, is that okay?"
Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"Okay, then I have nothing else to ask for."
Li Dong didn't have high demands on Zhang Meng, so he was testing the waters for the first time.
As for the results, let's talk about it later.
After saying this, Li Dong said to Hu Xiaorui: "Xiaorui, why don't you work with Director Zhang for a few days. After all, Director Zhang is not familiar with the place where he lived in Jiangbei, so you can help."
Hu Xiaorui said happily: "Okay, by the way, Director Zhang, can I find my favorite star to act?"
Zhang Meng glanced at Li Dong, and Li Dong smiled and said, "Director Zhang is in charge, as long as you feel it's right, it's not a problem. If the budget is out, it's fine, we can add more later."
Zhang Meng's eyes lit up as soon as Li Dong said that he could add more later, and he said quickly, "No problem, who Miss Hu likes, I'll get in touch right away. But I'm afraid they won't be able to arrange the schedule."
"Discuss this among yourselves, Xiaorui, I still have something to do here, you and Director Zhang can continue talking."
"Got it, go get busy." Now that Hu Xiaorui found something interesting, he didn't have time to talk to Li Dong, so he waved him away.
Li Dong laughed and didn't say anything else, leaving the office to the two of them and going out to work on their own.
...
Li Dong didn't have time to care about how Hu Xiaorui and Zhang Meng discussed.
Anyway, the two chatted very well. After discussing in the morning, they went out to work in the afternoon.
Hu Xiaorui is a celebrity in Jiangbei, and Nanrui is also a big group. It's really not a big problem for her to make a movie.
Whether it is the venue or the personnel, it is not difficult for Hu Xiaorui.
But Zhang Meng had to go back to the Northeast. He couldn't make a movie alone, and he needed some helpers.
Although Jiangbei could find people here, he was not familiar with them and could not control the situation. It would be a big trouble for him as a new director.
Li Dong didn't care how busy the two of them were. Without Hu Xiaorui's tossing around, he was much more relaxed.
...
On November 18th, after a week of preparation, the expansion of Yuanfang finally kicked off.
Yuan Chengdao and Sun Tao have already rushed to southern Jiangsu and Lu Province, and Yuan Chengdao officially began to conduct market research and site inspection in Lu Province.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are faster. Wang Yue has already inspected Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the early stage.
In terms of location selection, Wang Yue also made a plan. Once the funds were in place, Wang Yue took his staff to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to start preparing for the opening of the store.
When Yuan Chengdao first arrived in Lu Province, Wang Yue had already negotiated investment matters with the provincial governments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
It involves hundreds of millions or even billions of investment, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang attach great importance to it.
They also know about Yuanfang. Before that, Yuanfang invested in a distribution center in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now Yuanfang has entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang on a large scale, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are full of support.
The market is different from real estate, which is a genuine physical industry.
Driving employment and promoting economic development are leading in all walks of life. How can Jiangsu and Zhejiang reject distant investment.
Negotiations with the provincial government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang went smoothly, and the other party even offered a series of preferential policies.
The economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is much better than that in Jiangbei, and the conditions offered are better. When Wang Yue called back, Li Dong happened to be talking to Qi Yunna.
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong joked, "I wonder now, is Yuanfang a local company in Jiangbei?"
Qi Yunna asked curiously: "What did Mr. Li say?"
"hehe!"
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "I figured it out. On the Jiangbei side, the distance is just unwelcome. I didn't feel anything before I didn't compare it. Now I realize that the Jiangbei Provincial Government is not so friendly to us."
"Mr. Wang called me and told me that Jiangsu and Zhejiang have issued a series of conditions and support policies. Do you know? The provincial government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang even told Mr. Wang explicitly that as long as Yuanfang's investment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be quickly put in place, the provincial government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be in place soon." In the next three years, the policy subsidy for Yuanfang will not be less than 200 million yuan.
Two hundred million is not too little, right?
This is just the first point. Second, the government will provide us with an interest-free loan of over 500 million yuan.
In addition to these two points, the provincial government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang promised us that as long as Yuanfang establishes a branch in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are willing to provide us with a large-scale land in the provincial capital, free of charge, and let us build the branch office building, you have a look..."
Li Dong clicked his lips and said: "The Jiangbei provincial government is so kind to us. I came to ask for an interest-free loan of 500 million yuan. Policy subsidies, so few million are of no use. As for the land, they didn't mention it at all. Get over this.
Other preferential policies are almost the same whether they are available or not.
But in the distance, there are tens of thousands of jobs in Jiangbei, and there are a lot of taxes every year. By the end of this year, our taxes may exceed one billion!
With so much money, is this the attitude of the provincial government towards me?
Grandma, it made me anxious, I moved the headquarters, and left a branch here to let them collect taxes! "
Li Dong is really dissatisfied, let alone the comparison between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and South Jiangsu is similar.
Sunan actually had policy subsidies for Times, but Times was acquired by Yuanfang later, so the subsidy was reduced. After all, Yuanfang's headquarters is in Jiangbei, so the tax payment ratio is different.
As for the local companies in southern Jiangsu, Suguo and Yurun, the annual policy subsidies are at least over 100 million yuan.
This is still the most basic. The Southern Jiangsu Provincial Government also supports these local enterprises in all aspects.
This is the case in southern Jiangsu, this is the case in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it has changed in Jiangbei!
Yuanfang's overall strength may not be strong, but Yuanfang City is a real giant in Jiangbei's retail industry.
However, for such an enterprise that provides a large number of jobs and pays a large amount of taxes every year, the government has little support.
Policy support is nothing more than that, and there is not even a leader of the provincial party committee who inspected Yuanfang Group.
Du Anmin didn't count the last time he came. Up to now, none of the other provincial party committee leaders have been here.
This sense of gap made Li Dong very uncomfortable.
But he refrained from saying it now, maybe because Du Anmin is in power, some people are a bit taboo, so they don't want to come to far away.
But if Du Anmin left and the situation remained the same, then Li Dong would have to consider relocation.
Hearing Li Dong's complaint, Qi Yunna thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, it may be that we have been making too few demands in this area. You should visit the provincial government more."
Li Dong rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe, children who can cry have milk. It makes sense for you to say that, but tomorrow I have free time, so I have to go every day. Among other things, if I can get Hundreds of millions of subsidies, running is also cost-effective.
Forget it, let's not talk about it.
Has Kelong's inspection started yet? "
"It's started. Three teams entered Gan Province at the same time."
"Yao Hong didn't make trouble, did he?"
"No, Mr. Yao seems to be busy with other things recently, and he hardly ever comes to Kelong."
"Then leave him alone, what about the grain and oil side?"
When talking about grain and oil, Qi Yunna said excitedly: "It's settled, but I not only talked about Jiangbei, but also Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After all, the amount of investment this time is not small, and I'm afraid of accidents."
"Moreover, the price of grain and oil in the market has gradually increased recently. In the distance, I plan to increase the price from next week."
"Let's take it slow first, wait for other places to raise prices, and then we will raise prices. The price increase will be slower. If others increase prices, we will increase them again. That is to follow the trend. If we raise prices first, then we will be blamed. I would rather be less Earn a little."
Li Dong then discussed some other matters with Qi Yunna, and it was almost noon after the discussion.
After beating Qi Yunna away, Li Dong was about to move his body when his cell phone rang.
The call was from Wang Jie, mainly to ask if Li Dong was busy recently.
Li Dong hasn't been there for a while at Lanshan Manor. Since the last conflict, Li Dong has hardly been there.
Although Li Dong called, Wang Jie and the others also called to report the situation.
But so much money is put in the stock market, and the market has been good recently, and the stock has risen a lot. They also want to consult Li Dong's opinion on some matters to see if they can sell it.
In the end, Wang Jie was afraid that this guy would not come, so he specially said: "Xiao Shitou and Xiao Yu miss you a lot, come and have a look."
Li Dong looked at the documents in front of him, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then I'll go there in the afternoon."
Lanshan Manor really needs to be seen, not only Lanshan Manor, but also the houses in the provincial party committee compound.
After reading it, I have to arrange manpower for decoration as soon as possible.
After this semester is over, Li Dong is going to arrange for Tian Xiaoyu and Xiao Shitou to go to school there.
On Lanshan's side, although he and Xu Shengzhe are now in a heated fight, but old Xu Jier keeps silent, and Li Dong is a little worried.
Although this old guy is old, don't treat him as a sick cat.
He lost his face after tossing twice by himself. It is impossible for Xu Jianghua not to hold grudges, so he has to take precautions.
