"Art is indeed desirable, but only if people are well fed. Zhou Qiang said.

"Dong Zhou, I don't quite understand, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Hui said.

"I don't know, how much does Curator Zhang earn in a month?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"Naturally, it can't be compared with Dong Chou, but it's no problem to eat well. Zhang Hui said.

Although it was not the first time she had met Zhou Qiang, it was the first time for the two to formally communicate at work.

"I don't know, what is your museum's monthly profit, is it enough to pay you and your employees' salaries?" Zhou Qiang asked rhetorically.

Zhang Hui's face changed slightly, and she said perfunctorily: "You don't have to worry about this." ”

Zhou Qiang smiled and didn't continue to ask, after all, as the chairman of the company, some words can be pointed, but if they are too straightforward, they will seem ungraceful.

Fang Wenxiu, as an assistant, didn't need to worry too much, and continued: "Because we want to cooperate with your museum, we also did some simple investigations, and found that your museum's operating conditions are average, not to mention how profitable it is. ”

Zhang Hui's face became more and more ugly, and she retorted: "There are several museums in China that are profitable, if you make money, why bother opening museums, the original intention of the old chairman to open a museum was not to make money." ”

"Director Zhang, not making money, and losing money, are completely two different concepts. Fang Wenxiu said.

"Assistant Fang, what do you want to say?" Zhang Hui said.

Fang Wenxiu organized the language and said: "Dong Zhou also has two construction companies under his name, and they don't make any money, but they don't lose money either, and they have been operating like that, but if the two companies lose money, I will suggest that Dong Zhou dispose of the two companies as soon as possible." ”

"You mean that we, the Ansei Museum, should also be disposed of. Zhang Hui asked rhetorically.

"Wrong, Ancheng Museum has more than 3,000 collections, each of which is a fine product with artistic characteristics, it has the value and interests of existence, it is not profitable, it can only be said that there is a problem with the business situation. Fang Wenxiu said.

"You're saying that I'm the one who should be disposed of?" Zhang Hui sneered.

"I didn't mean that, you also said that the main purpose of museums is to promote art and culture, you are an expert in cultural relics, and you are a deputy curator. ”

Fang Wenxiu praised two sentences, changed the conversation, and said: "However, you don't know how to operate, I think you can add another deputy director to be responsible for the operation and financial aspects of the museum, not to make money, but at least to achieve a balance between income and expenditure, this is the long-term way of operation, the basic conditions that a healthy enterprise should have." ”

Zhang Hui swallowed her saliva, the nail of her thumb was embedded in the flesh of her index finger, and said secretly, this Everbright company really didn't have a good heart, and actually wanted to cut my power.

"Papa......" Han Wenzhi slapped his face and said, "Dong Zhou, it's still the same sentence, your subordinates are really full of talents." ”

"Mr. Han, do you want to lend you a deputy curator who knows how to operate from Everbright Company?" Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

Han Wenzhi showed a wry smile, how could he not hear it, Zhou Qiang was teasing.

Han Wenzhi did not refute either, because of the Ancheng Museum, there are also some opinions within the Ancheng Group, in the words of some company executives, the Ancheng Museum is sitting on billions worth of collections, but there is no way to make a profit, but it still needs group subsidies every year, which is simply a burden.

It's just that because of the prestige of the old chairman, no one dares to mention it openly.

But this is indeed a hidden danger, just like Fang Wenxiu said, unprofitable and losing money are two concepts, the head office of the group can allow unprofitable companies to exist, but will not allow a company to lose money and lose money all the time.

If Ancheng Museum can make a profit, even if it is a basic balance of payments, then Ancheng Museum will be able to exist for a long time, and it will not be in vain for the hard work of the old chairman.

For this, Han Wenzhi still attaches great importance to it.

As if seeing Han Wenzhi's vacillation, Zhang Hui hurriedly said: "Mr. Han, you should know very well the situation of museums, it's not that I don't want to make a profit, but that most of the museums in China are in a state of losing money. ”

"Director Zhang, as you just said, the vast majority of museums in China are losing money, that is to say, there are still some museums that make money, and people go to high places and water flows to low places, should they be on par with those museums that make money. Fang Wenxiu said.

"So, Manager Fang has a way to make our museum profitable?" asked Zhang Hui.

"Of course, this is also the purpose of our cooperation this time. Fang Wenxiu said.

"You ......" Zhang Hui felt that she was being rounded in, and said secretly, this group of businessmen is really mercenary, and they are used to tricks. ”

Han Wenzhi also knew that his subordinate Zhang Hui was not the opponent of the assistant Fang, so he took over and said, "Dong Zhou, then tell me specifically, how to cooperate?"

"If the building and the museum are connected, we can give all the owners a lifetime membership to the museum, which is a long-term income. Zhou Qiang said.

"How many residents are expected to live in this building?" said Han Wenzhi.

"About 160 households. Zhou Qiang said.

"More than 160 members only increase the income of more than 100,000 yuan every year, and this little money alone cannot help the museum turn losses into profits. Zhang Hui said.

"Director Zhang, the total area of this skyscraper is fixed, the fewer the residents, the larger the house, the higher the total price of the house, the people who can afford it are either rich or expensive, you don't just look at the little money, the influence brought by these residents is not to be underestimated, any rich person, donate some to the museum, it is enough for you to pay for a year's tickets." Fang Wenxiu said.

"It's too much of a coincidence, and it's impossible for our museum to rely on donations from others to maintain its business. Zhang Hui said.

"It's just a side benefit of your museum's partnership with our company, and the real partnership plans and benefits haven't been talked about yet. Fang Wenxiu said.

Seeing that the conversation between the two sides smelled of gunpowder, Han Wenzhi smiled and said, "Otherwise, let's take a break, have a cup of coffee, eat some snacks, and then continue." ”

"When Mr. Han said this, I was really a little hungry. Zhou Qiang said.

"Some refreshments. Han Wenzhi commanded.

Not long after, several museum staff walked in with coffee, green tea, and pastries.

After talking for a long time, Zhou Qiang was a little thirsty, took a cup of green tea, and drank a few sips.

Coffee is a good thing to drink, but it doesn't quench your thirst.

Fang Wenxiu drank a cup of coffee, and let people add some more, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Director Zhang, I have not been in the magic capital for a long time, and I have been patronizing for work, and I haven't visited the magic capital yet, do you have any interesting places to recommend?"

Zhang Hui glanced at the other party and said, "Yes, our Ancheng Museum is a place worth visiting, not only to feel the artistic atmosphere, but also to grow knowledge and learn history and culture." ”

"What about your museum?" Fang Wenxiu said.

"Generally, when outsiders go to the magic capital, they like to go to the Oriental Pearl Tower, you can go there for a walk. Zhang Hui said.

"Yes, I've heard a joke that people who haven't visited the Oriental Pearl Tower are embarrassed to say that they have been to the magic capital. Zhang Shijie quipped.

"I'm also curious about why people like to visit the Oriental Pearl Tower. Fang Wenxiu said.

"The Oriental Pearl Tower is a landmark building in the magic capital, and many people are going to be famous, and the tickets for tourists alone are a considerable amount of income. Zhang Hui said.

"This point coincides with our company's vision, and we also hope that the skyscraper and the Ancheng Museum will be combined to become another landmark building in the magic capital. Fang Wenxiu said with a smile.

"Dong Zhou, your assistant is really combative. Han Wenzhi shook his head and smiled.

Zhang Hui also heard it, this assistant Fang, going around and around, and then applying his own words.

"Assistant Fang, who was an executive of a company under my name, was a good cadre, and it was because of her outstanding ability that I transferred her to my side. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

"I don't know which company?" asked Han Wenzhi.

Baichuan Investment Management Co., Ltd. ”

"What is your position?"

"Manager of the Investment Development Department. Fang Wenxiu said.

"Then it's no wonder. Han Wenzhi said with emotion.

The person in charge of the investment and development department must first be familiar with various investment industries, have certain experience and investment vision, and people who do not have some ability will not be able to do this position.

"Dong Zhou, how do you want to turn us into a museum and a landmark building in the magic capital?" asked Han Wenzhi.

"You have just seen the drawings, the skyscraper that our company is about to build, the appearance is unique, beautiful, very modern and artistic, if it can be connected with the Ancheng Museum, it will become a more perfect building, it is a work of art in itself, people look at the heart of the beauty, worthy of people to come to see. Zhou Qiang said.

"Even so, it is not easy to make a name for yourself and become a recognized landmark. Han Wenzhi said.

"You also know that I have some influence in the film industry, and I have also invested in some films, in the future, I will use movies to promote the upcoming skyscraper and Ancheng Museum, and I will also buy some media to tout them as the landmark buildings of the magic capital. Zhou Qiang said.

"If we want to promote the skyscraper and the Ancheng Museum as a landmark, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, and we can't afford the Ancheng Museum. Zhang Hui said.

"Don't worry about this, before the skyscraper is completed, our company will definitely increase publicity efforts to improve the visibility of the real estate, this part of the money will be paid by our company, and your museum can sit back and enjoy it. Zhou Qiang said.

Han Wenzhi was a little moved, turned his head to look at Zhang Hui on the side, and said, "Director Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Hui instinctively wanted to object, Ancheng Museum really wanted to work closely with Everbright Real Estate Company, how would she deal with herself in the future, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of a reason to object!

This plan is indeed a combination of benefits for both sides, she can't say no with a clear conscience, but when she thinks of cooperating with Everbright Company, she feels very uncomfortable, as if she has been slapped in the face.
