Chapter 62 Confrontation 11 (Part 1)
3pm
Le Xiao finished some initial explanations about the activities in the bottom area. The activities will soon start in various districts. Le Xiao is in the public security management office in District 118. She returned to the lounge. After a short half-hour break, she had to go to the film and television area to attend the investor meeting on the cinema building.
Thinking of this, Le Xiao became impatient. Alpha didn't know what he was doing these days. His phone was always turned off.
Le Xiao looked at the light and shadow screen. The meeting materials sent by the businessmen in the film and television area were a lot of things that made Le Xiao irritated at first glance. Many things were written in a very formulaic way. In Le Xiao's opinion, these things really didn't need to be written in this way.
"Can you speak human language?"
Le Xiao could only grit her teeth and insist on reading. After all, the next meeting was likely to have a relatively large dispute, because Le Xiao's suggestion that day forced the construction party to wait until the usable things inside were sold out before demolishing.
During this period, the construction party had called many times, but Le Xiao still insisted that it would be better to sell those usable things first. This would also be good for the local people, and those usable things would not be wasted for no reason.
Le Xiao was unsure about today's meeting because the investors seemed very anxious. After all, there are many movies about to be released, and these movies are the weapons that many investors want to quickly return their investment. If the cinema is built, it can contribute a lot of box office revenue with the current popularity of the lower level.
Le Xiao thinks that it is acceptable to go to the cinema to watch the latest movies within 20 yuan, but most investors' opinions are 30 to 50 yuan per ticket.
Le Xiao actually wanted to explain a problem today, because the number of cinemas in the lower level was sporadic in the past, and there was no movie viewing market. If people in the lower level are suddenly asked to consume movies, Le Xiao thinks that about 90 out of 100 people will not pay, but will wait until the movie is over and sold on the Internet, and someone may spend 5 to 10 yuan to buy the movie to watch.
"Really, why are you so anxious."
Le Xiao didn't want to go there in advance. A lot of reporters asked about yesterday's matter, and Le Xiao didn't know how to answer. He could only answer that it would be good if the problem could be solved.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Le Xiao frowned slightly. She had already told him that she would take a half-hour break. After opening the door, Le Xiao saw Hawke and Tian Ai.
Le Xiao grinned slightly.
"Why did you two come here?"
"Can't we come here?"
Le Xiao didn't look at Tian Ai's face, and Tian Ai walked in directly, ignoring Le Xiao's obstruction.
"Don't worry, we are here to help you."
Hawke said, Le Xiao was a little surprised, but then she thought that these two people had been in the entertainment industry for decades and knew much more about the entertainment industry than she did.
Le Xiao smiled happily immediately, and Tian Ai had already started to read the materials of the capital meeting. After reading for a while, Tian Ai laughed.
"Have you figured out what they want to do?"
Le Xiao said a few points. The first was to build the cinema as soon as possible, and the second was to build supporting facilities in the cinema, so as to monopolize the entertainment consumption in the area, as well as some food, clothing, housing and transportation consumption around the cinema.
"You still have a brain."
Le Xiao snorted coldly, and Hawke said after looking for a while.
"Ai Ai, it seems that these guys are not dead."
Hawke saw some of the extremely vague places. These places are not related to movies, but other entertainment businesses that have nothing to do with movies.
This includes some small amusement parks, theme parks, and some variety entertainment on-site construction, etc., including all the businesses in the film and television entertainment industry.
Once such content is agreed upon, if the businessmen sign a contract with the Acting Department, the subsequent businessmen will have a reason to promote the surrounding entertainment business construction activities with the cinema as the core according to the terms.
It is obvious that the businessmen did not mention these contents at all, but only inserted them in the information very obscurely. As long as Le Xiao signs at that time, the businessmen can start large-scale construction on the grounds of the subsequent supporting facilities of the cinema.
And this kind of large-scale construction can be long-term. If you only need to add more detailed subsequent supporting construction categories and directions to the contract, then these constructions will not need to be approved by Congress and can start construction directly.
This is the trick that businessmen are best at. In the past, no matter what proposal was like this, the businessmen would definitely add conditions that are beneficial to themselves in the later stage. As long as it is passed, the businessmen can be fearless.
Most of these subsequent clauses will be rejected by the senior management of the Operations Department. In the end, the two sides can only negotiate through the councillors and finally reach a consensus. Businessmen have already mastered such means, which is not something that Le Xiao, a naive secretary who has served for a short period of time, can handle.
So C went directly to Hawke and Tianai early this morning. He only needed Le Xiao to draft a letter of authorization. If he entrusted these two professional independent filmmakers as consultants, they could help Le Xiao with advice.
Another point is that Hawke can follow Le Xiao and solve this matter together while protecting Le Xiao's life safety. C is very relieved to have Hawke around, after all, Hawke is very strong.
"Here, just sign it."
Tianai took out a consultant letter of authorization that had been written long ago. Le Xiao only needed to authorize her to sign it. Le Xiao looked at Tianai suspiciously.
"Is it okay for you to be my consultant?"
Tian Aihuo held his hands and stood up, completely overwhelming Le Xiao with his momentum.
"Did I say there is something wrong with your brain or something? My brother is the chief of Section 3. Niya and I have known each other for decades, and so has Jean. We are kind enough to help you, but you actually question us? What's wrong with your brain? Is the word “silly” written all over it?
Le Xiao stood up quickly and bowed to apologize.
"I'm sorry Tian'ai, I just feel a little surprised, because..."
"It's nothing about this or that. Listen carefully. Let's practice it carefully first. Don't have any problems later. Also, I will give you a signal later. Hawke and I can answer some questions. Don't mess with me. Interrupt, do you hear me clearly?"
Lexiao said oh and sat down obediently. Hawke began to explain to Lexiao one by one.
Le Xiao was frightened when she heard this. She was supposed to sign a contract today. After reaching a consensus on the construction of the cinema, Le Xiao felt a chill running down her spine. If she really signed the contract, the future would be really bad.
Le Xiao listened carefully, and after a while she roughly understood what the merchants wanted to do.
At 4:03, the employer called and asked if Le Xiao could go over. All the employees from the employer had been waiting for half an hour. They hoped that Le Xiao could go over today. If it was too busy, they would arrive. Just wait in a restaurant and call them in advance when Lexiao comes.
"These guys are really anxious."
After Hawke asked some more questions, the three set off, and Le Xiao also sent over the document entrusting Tianai Film and Television Entertainment Company to serve as the consultant for this negotiation.
4:19
Honghong looked at the consultant appointment letter with a serious expression. Jiang Hao on the side was talking with some people about the future of entertainment.
"It's just two consultants. The final decision-making power is still in the hands of the secretary. Besides, if we have money, we can all make it together."
Jiang Hao lit a cigar as he spoke, and Honghong glared at him angrily.
"Do you really think it's the same as before? Shut up, all of you."
Honghong looked at a pair of playful businessmen, and an old man said with a smile.
"The purpose of our doing this is to diversify the entertainment content at the bottom, which is a good thing. Moreover, if we invest heavily, the economy at the bottom will grow rapidly, and many people at the bottom will be able to have enough to eat and have jobs."
Honghong was too lazy to talk nonsense with the old man. They still had the same thinking as before. They had reached consensus with the business department many times in the past and they should think it would be easy this time.
But Le Xiao temporarily added two consultants, Tian Ai and Hawke. These two people are relatively special in the entire circle. They are independent and not controlled by anyone. They cooperate with anyone or company, and the entertainment industry does not No one dares to do anything to the two of them. After all, Tian Ai's brother is the section chief of Section 3.
Moreover, the overall high-level relationship between Tianai and Xingke is good, so these two people are relatively free in the entire film and television entertainment industry, and they know a lot of things. Now it depends on Le Xiao's attitude.
At 4:29, the room door opened, and Le Xiao walked in with Tian Ai and Hawke.
"We are all old acquaintances. Please sit down. You're welcome."
Jiang Hao stood up and said, after Le Xiao sat down, Honghong did not speak, but planned to listen to what Le Xiao had to say first.
Immediately, a person in charge of the company stood up and began to explain some consensus that the two parties needed to reach during today's meeting. The proposal to build a movie theater should be fully launched as soon as possible. Once launched, it will bring more jobs and economic growth to the bottom, as well as various aspects. The benefits and so on.
Really say this!
Le Xiao swallowed. What the person in charge said was exactly what Huo Ke Tianai expected, but it sounded really good. Once the bill is fully launched, it can indeed bring a lot of benefits to the bottom level.
But what Le Xiao was thinking about at this time was more about the problem Wu Qun said after two contacts with Wu Qun. If the economy is growing at such a rapid rate now, it will cause immeasurable crisis to the bottom class in the future.
Because with the continuous investment in the economy, the size of the bottom layer will expand rapidly, and when these dividends from the bottom layer end, the huge size will collapse the bottom layer that was originally unable to adapt to such a huge economy. will disappear.
"What about the disadvantages? Why don't you talk about the disadvantages?"
Tian Ai asked abruptly, and the person in charge immediately became embarrassed.
"Miss Tianai, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and we have conducted detailed market research."
As he spoke, the person in charge began to bring out some of the results of the investigation, including various consumer pricing issues at Baokuai Cinema, etc. Happy Xiao felt confused as soon as he saw them, because these consumers seemed ordinary at first glance. In fact, it will become more expensive as time goes by.
Le Xiao frowned. This is just like those unscrupulous merchants who use low prices to promote their products. After they have almost squeezed out their peers, they start to raise prices. Le Xiao has been fooled by this several times before, but in the end Had to buy it.
Hawke still didn't speak, still listening to the person in charge bragging about various benefits. After a while, Hawke patted the table and said seriously.
"Don't talk about these fancy things. We are all adults, not children."
The person in charge smiled awkwardly, Jiang Hao raised his hands and stood up before saying.
"How about we all make money together if we have money? Mr. Le Xiao, we can give Section 13 an intra-department construction fee every year. This fee will be determined based on the annual financial statements and is flexible... "
"Construction fees can deduct part of the tax, right?"
Tian Ai immediately exposed Jiang Hao's so-called money-making together, but Le Xiao never spoke. Everyone was waiting for Le Xiao's answer, and then Le Xiao stood up and said.
"Please come up with a more convincing proposal, otherwise it can only be planned and demolished at this stage, not in the construction and operation stage."
Le Xiao said it clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then Jiang Hao asked.
"Sir Le Xiao, what are you dissatisfied with? We can negotiate and modify it on the spot."
Tian Ai immediately laughed and took over.
"First, put away your desire to make money quickly and consider the overall economy of the grassroots. If you can't come up with a proposal that considers the overall economy of the grassroots, the cinema may not be able to start in the next few months or even years."
Tian Ai's words made many people present dissatisfied, because Tian Ai is a member of the entertainment industry after all. She has participated in several movies last year and this year. Everyone's interests are obviously the same, but Tian Ai has been standing on the opposite side of them from beginning to end.
"That's the way it is. We have other things to do."
Le Xiao also nodded hurriedly, and Hawke stood up and said.
"Everyone, this kind of construction is not for short-term effects. There is one thing I hope you can consider carefully, the consumption capacity of the grassroots people and the number of grassroots industries. If you don't consider these issues and act blindly, when the economy has problems, it is the grassroots people who bear all the consequences, and everyone just needs to lie down and count money."
After Hawke finished speaking, he patted Le Xiao on the back and she smiled.
"So that's it. I hope everyone can come up with a better plan. I have something to leave first."
After the three left, Jiang Hao said angrily.
"Really, I don't know what medicine they took wrong."
Honghong smiled with her hand on her chin. She knew that this proposal would be difficult to implement unless the cinema was just a cinema without interfering with other things.
"I'll talk to Mr. Le Xiao privately. Leave this matter to me."
Everyone present agreed. After all, many communication problems with the Operations Department in the past were solved by Honghong herself.
Honghong was unsure, she felt this time would be very difficult.
