The chandeliers glow white in the glittering decorations all around, and from the top down, you can see a dense crowd of people seated around a round table, and a series of cameras on the periphery, mainly from Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

ASEAN wants to build an Asian system with itself at its core, and it is complacent about its achievements. Because ASEAN has established partnerships with several countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc. But what are ASEAN without these rich resources and without their own geographical advantages?

So in Lin Fan's view, ASEAN is more like a group of frogs at the bottom of the well entertaining themselves, a group of rabbits are ridiculous and pathetic hugging together, and it turns out that ten rabbits cannot be the opponent of a tiger, because the essence of rabbits is rabbits.

However, ASEAN people are very proud, how many people do we have, how many economic aggregates do we have, please add up not as good as China?

Now it is Vietnam's foreign minister who speaks on the stage, and the chairmanship of ASEAN changes every year, and this year it is Vietnam's turn. "ASEAN is one big family, we are located on the same land, we have abundant resources, we must unite and speak with one voice in order to ensure the interests of member states......

Because of Lin Fan's identity, the position of the round table he is at is also very good, basically facing the reporter, which is convenient for the reporter to concentrate on taking pictures. But Lin Fan was not happy, which made him have to keep listening carefully. To be honest, he felt very funny, Vietnam spoke at it, what did the psychology of Cambodia and Laos think? Vietnam had just invaded them decades ago, so it was so easy to shake hands and make peace?

Well, these are all Lin Fan's malicious guesses, he is too boring. After dealing with the first scene, Lin Fan resigned from the next meeting, and he didn't have any love for appearances.

Vietnam Hotel, which is a hotel where ASEAN members stay, is also the place where Lin Van and others stayed. Lin Fan couldn't wait to send an invitation to the foreign ministers of the four countries and borrowed the hotel conference room for an informal meeting.

"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"I was also very happy to meet the four pillars of the country. Lin Fan motioned for a few people to sit down, looked around at the representatives of Timor-Leste, Laos, Cambodia, and Brunei, and went straight to the point, "Everyone has seen it at the meeting, and I won't introduce it too much." So let's get straight to the point, I think everyone knows that I'm here for investment, and I don't know about the others, but I'm probably going to focus on the cultural industry. ”

The four of them bowed their heads, which was not surprising to this, after all, Mortal Media had just been listed, and it was normal to want to make some big moves.

The Lao Foreign Minister took the initiative to say, "Then I wonder how Mr. Lin is going to cooperate?"

"I want to invest in TV stations in several countries, preferably state-owned TV stations with significant influence, and I want to bring some excellent film and television works to your countries. This should be a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, excellent film and television works can raise the advertising revenue of TV stations, and we can potentially cultivate the market and lay the foundation for large-scale entry. ”

The four of them looked around, each thinking about it. For example, Vietnam and Cambodia know that this is a cultural export, and they want to let Chinese culture influence the people. But they really can't afford to say no, because they are too poor. If the people can't even fill their stomachs, the spirit will not be so important.

If Vietnam and Cambodia still have a glimmer of concern, Timor-Leste has no concerns at all. Timor-Leste, which normally lives on foreign aid, is very open to any kind of investment, and they are not qualified to pick and choose. So the foreign minister of Timor-Leste said directly, "Mr. Lin, we should be familiar with it, the developer group has worked with us to provide thousands of jobs for Timor-Leste. I would welcome your investment in culture, but I would like to know how big your investment is and how many jobs it will provide for our country. ”

"This is a very good question, investing in TV stations and importing film and television dramas is only the first step. The next step is to support local people to participate in the production of the film and television industry, and the scale of this cake depends entirely on how successful the first step is. In addition, we will set up a foundation to regularly relax movies for poor areas, and this foundation alone will provide jobs for thousands of people in various countries. ”

The Lao Foreign Minister couldn't help but nod, "We can see that Mr. Lin is enthusiastic about cultural undertakings, but does the TV station have to take a stake? ”

"Mr. Foreign Minister, this is my concern. Each country is an untapped market, and if we cultivate the market, it will not be a loss if other companies pick peaches. Rest assured, we understand that TV is the mouthpiece of the country, so we won't ask for too much. First, it only owns part of the shares of the TV station, which is about 20 percent. Second, we reached an agreement with our company that only our company will be used in all Chinese TV dramas. We have no other requirements other than these two conditions, and there are many welfare measures, such as reducing the purchase price, such as increasing the ..... of digital transmission technology"

Lin Fan smiled, and said a series of benefits tactfully, just kidding, if you don't help you well, how can you open up the market?

The Cambodian Foreign Minister suddenly spoke, "Mr. Lin, I think you also know that in my country, TV is still a state-owned enterprise, and if you want to become a shareholder, it means that we have to carry out shareholding and private ownership. But as you know, the most scarce thing for us is the development of industry. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I can give some preferential treatment in the cultural industry, and I hope that Mr. Lin can increase investment in China's basic industry. ”

As the words of the Cambodian foreign minister fell, the faces of the other two changed, and then they showed a hint of joy. Why didn't they come up with such a good method, and the three pairs of eyes immediately looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan noticed the calmness of Brunei's foreign minister, but it was not surprising that Brunei, although located in Southeast Asia, was very wealthy. Lin Fan met the three pairs of eyes, and said word by word very slowly, as if he was carefully considering, "Mr. Foreign Minister's proposal is very good, I am also very optimistic about the market in Southeast Asia, and I have no opinion on investing in industry." As for the scale of investment, it is tentatively set at $8 billion. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Fan was very sure, "Just eight billion US dollars, this is a fund for the four countries, and it will gradually arrive in the next five years." As for the amount of money that each country obtains, it depends on the degree of preferential treatment you give to Mortal Media in the matter of the stake in the TV station. ”

The breathing of the four of them immediately became rapid, even the foreign minister of Brunei. Although the four of them knew very well that this was Lin Fan's trick, Lin Fan's investment in industry could have made a profit, but on the condition of the concession of the TV station's equity, it was simply greedy. However, the four of them had to eat, and the cultural industry is not important in their respective countries, what matters is the industrial base.

The most important thing is the total amount of funds, such as Timor-Leste lives on more than 100 million US dollars in aid from other countries every year, while Laos, Cambodia and other countries receive no more than 200 million US dollars in aid every year.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Everyone, my conditions are okay, right?"

The four nodded eagerly.......
