Chapter 54: Rivalry Gathering

On the National Day of 2003, Gangnam Plaza in Tianjing City opened, and Gangnam Commercial Co., Ltd. officially released its perfect work in the capital. The slogan www.biquge.info that Gangnam Square is the center of the city is becoming more and more popular, and many young generations like to set the meeting place in Gangnam Square, and the one-stop and thoughtful service makes them forget to leave.

At this time, it was still in the cold winter of regulation, but Jiangnan Plaza's strong risk resistance model made the domestic real estate industry re-realize the advantages of commercial real estate. The house cannot be sold, but the basic needs of people for food, drink and entertainment remain the same, and self-owned property has become a major source of stable cash flow.

Even Wanjian Real Estate, which has always focused on residential areas, has also chosen to enter the commercial real estate module with a pilot project after the cold winter, seeking a more vibrant development model.

When peers are still vacillating between residential real estate and commercial real estate, they find that Jiangnan Group has formed a situation where residential real estate and commercial real estate walk on two thighs, and in any respect, they are the industry leaders in China. A new city, Jiangnan Real Estate has just entered, and soon Jiangnan Plaza has also landed with the announcement.

The local government lined up to meet the senior management of Jiangnan Group, hoping that Jiangnan Group could invest in local projects, which would bring at least one billion yuan of investment as long as they landed, not to mention that Jiangnan Plaza would lead tens of thousands of jobs. The local government, which has tasted the sweetness of land finance, has also learned the trick of nesting and attracting phoenixes, and the wind is not Jiangnan Group, Jiangnan Group is just a nesting worker recruited. After Jiangnan Group has built its nest, other developers will also follow.

With low prices and preferential measures to attract Jiangnan Plaza to land, a new urban center will soon be formed, which can drive the rise of surrounding land prices, and local governments can recover the cost of Jiangnan Group through land appreciation, and even make a lot of money by selling surrounding plots.

Originally, it would take at least 5 years for a suburb or new city to form an economic center and a prosperous area. Now that the investment has attracted Jiangnan Group, the 18-month construction period of a Jiangnan Plaza alone can create a city center in less than 2 years, and you say that the local government, especially the mayors and secretaries who have served for 5 years, will they introduce Jiangnan Group in a big way for the sake of political performance?

In this regard, Qin Ran is also happy to cooperate with the local government's eagerness to produce political results, Jiangnan Group enjoys unusually low land price concessions and the green light opened by the government along the way, and can also seize the city's popular location before other competitors, in his words, it is a match made in heaven. In addition, ordinary people have also been given the convenience of life, and residents with houses in the surrounding area can also enjoy the dividends of real estate appreciation.

In this way, the Pareto optimal effect has been initially realized, relying on the dividends of China's economic reform and development, and realizing the distribution model of benefits for all parties.

At the end of 2003, at least 12 Jiangnan squares started construction at the same time, they are all the products of the layout of the macro control, and after they are completed, Jiangnan business will formally form a synergistic scale, truly revealing the body of the giant. Time waits for no one, and although there are many bank loans and local government support, it still needs a lot of financial support to build so many Jiangnan squares at the same time.

Jiangnan Commercial began to accept strategic investors, and investors agreed to the valuation of Jiangnan Commercial of 50 billion yuan, and subscribed for 20% of the company's equity, Qin Ran urgently needed the 10 billion yuan to build his Jiangnan Square empire. Without relying on external forces, if you want to build with Jiangnan Group's own funds, at most 5 Jiangnan squares a year has reached the limit, after all, there are still many places waiting for money. Now relying on investors' money, he can easily launch 12 Jiangnan squares a year, and at least keep this number unchanged in the coming year, so that Jiangnan squares can blossom everywhere in major first- and second-tier cities across the country.

In Qin Ran's expectation, the number of Jiangnan Plazas reaching 30 can form a stable self-circulation hematopoietic development function, and Jiangnan Commerce will no longer need to carry out large-scale blood transfusion.

Fighting brothers, with Jiangnan Real Estate and Jiangnan Commerce attacking cities all over the country, another little brother Jiangnan Film and Television also followed behind to pick up fruits.

Using mergers and acquisitions and following the expansion of the two big brothers, Jiangnan Film and Television has occupied nearly 45% of the theater share in the domestic market, and the content production has also cooperated with Hong Kong companies to launch two or three box office hits, and Xiao Jianing has also become a new generation of popular female stars in the mainland.

From a female college student to a first-line super popular female star in the entertainment industry, Xiao Jianing only took less than 3 years. Relying on the big tree of Jiangnan Film and Television, Xiao Jia condenses smoothly, and sometimes when she wakes up, she can't help but miss the boy who has always encouraged her to enter the entertainment industry.

Jiangnan Film and Television can occupy 45% of the theater share, in fact, there is a certain historical reason, that is, in 2003, the number of movie screens in China was not much, only more than 2,500. They are mainly concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, and there are basically no cinemas in third- and fourth-tier cities and even counties, while Jiangnan Group is basically expanding in first- and second-tier cities, so it is not surprising that it can occupy such a huge market share. In the future, with the growth of the film market and the number of screens reaching more than 10,000, Jiangnan Film and Television will no longer have the good situation of the current monopoly.

It's a pity that in the whole of 2003, the national movie box office only had a total of 960 million, and even 1 billion did not break through. People prefer to watch pirated DVDs at home rather than going to the cinema as in economically developed countries such as the United States. This is related to the economic development conditions at that time, and it can only be enjoyed when the Chinese people have more money in their pockets.

In addition to making a breakthrough in the negotiation of Disneyland in Hudong City, Jiangnan Film and Television became the mainland distributor of Disney's 2003 imported blockbusters "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", relying on the strong promotion of the theater chain, the two films became the box office champion and third runner-up of the year, respectively, with a box office of 53 million and 43 million yuan.

On December 25, 2003, choosing Christmas Day, one of the most important holidays for Westerners, the Disney Company, the Hudong Municipal Government, and Jiangnan Group officially held a press conference in Hudong City to publicize that the three companies would jointly fund the construction of the world's sixth Disney park in the suburbs of Hudong City. Among them, the shareholding distribution is 46% of the Hudong Municipal Government, 45% of the Disney Company, and 9% of the Jiangnan Group. On the distribution of shares, the Hudong Municipal Government and Disney Company have conducted many negotiations, Hudong City requires more shares than Disney to show its dominant position, while Disney hopes that the two sides can agree on the shares, and in the end, Hudong City requires the upper hand and obtains more than 1% equity advantage. As a neutral party, Jiangnan Group will be the target of the two sides in the future.

The entire Disneyland plans to invest 28 billion yuan, with a construction period of four and a half years, and strive to officially open the park on May Day in 2008 to coincide with the holding of the Tianjing Olympic Games.

Hong Kong Disneyland is building a park that has not yet opened for business, and Disney can't wait to settle in Hudong City in the mainland, showing its expectations for the vast Chinese mainland market.

"The Yangtze River Delta region radiates 300 million people in Chinese mainland, all of whom belong to the first group of people to become wealthy, and our Disneyland in Hudong will bring children here a joyful fairytale journey." As for our partners, whether it is the Hudong Municipal Government or the Jiangnan Group, they all have an unparalleled influence in China, and we have a very pleasant cooperation. ”

Disney Chairman Mr. Iger said in an interview with reporters.

In addition to the blockbuster news of the landing of Disneyland, a project cooperated by Jiangnan Film and Television and Disney Film and Television Company was also officially announced at the same time. The two companies will join forces to shoot a live-action version of "Mulan" in a Sino-foreign cooperation mode, putting this familiar folk tale on the big screen, and the heroine has been determined, which is the hottest Xiao Jianing at the moment.

It is also the first time in the history of Hollywood that a Chinese actress can break into Hollywood and play the leading role in a big production for the first time.

Xiao Jianing was interviewed by foreign reporters in fluent English, and she was very confident in the role she played.

"I'm going to try to tan myself and be ugly, Mulan will definitely not look good if she can blend into the barracks where all men are men. I have already communicated with the director, and he suggested that I strengthen my muscles more. Before the official start of filming, I also had to have a two-month intensive training with other actors, striving to train the spirit of marching and fighting in the barracks. I was a little nervous, after all, it was a new challenge for me to be able to work with a big international director, and it was said that the film would use a lot of computer stunts. ”

can get the support of Jiangnan Film and Television, which is inseparable from a person who silently contributes behind the scenes, with Qin Ran's secret support, Xiao Jianing can ignore all kinds of rules in the entertainment industry and sit on the throne of film and television stars.

The live-action version of "Mulan" plans to invest 120 million US dollars, in which Jiangnan Film and Television is responsible for 30% of the investment, and Disney will bear the rest, and the two parties will share the income of the entire film according to the investment amount. The whole film is led by Disney, with China as the main location for filming, and some young backbones of Jiangnan Film and Television will participate in it to learn from Hollywood's mature production process. The release time is tentatively scheduled to coincide with the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, depending on the filming process and post-production.

In Xiao Jianing's view, Song Pengcheng, the boss of the film and television company, is like an amiable uncle next door, he can basically meet some of his requirements, he signed a 10-year long contract with the company, and now after becoming popular, the company has also taken the initiative to modify some treaties to be more conducive to his own treatment.

The star journey is very smooth, and all peers are secretly envious of Xiao Jianing, a newcomer who became popular directly from the draft, and now she has climbed to the heroine of a big Hollywood production, which is really more popular than people. What's even more hateful is that Xiao Jianing has almost no scandals, and the company will not use her scandals to hype up the news, she is as pure as a lotus flower in the turbid entertainment industry, out of the mud and not stained.

can do her own thing in the entertainment industry, ignoring all kinds of unspoken rules, many people speculate that she has a lot of backing behind her, but she can't say who it is, and it is rumored to be groundless.

Entering the entertainment industry, Xiao Jianing also learned some insiders, and she felt lucky that she had gone all the way, just like the heroine in the novel, she easily got many opportunities that others would not have in a lifetime. As for the rumors in the rivers and lakes that she has a deep background, Xiao Jianing knows that her parents are ordinary professors, and the whole family has no commendable friends and relatives.

At the beginning of the year, the boss of his own company boss was Qin Fusheng, the boss of Jiangnan Group, the parent company of Jiangnan Film and Television, who was known as the richest man in the mainland by virtue of his successful IPO in the Hong Kong stock market. At this time, some rumors spread again, saying that she was the girlfriend of the resurrection of the diamond king Lao Wuqin, otherwise she would not have been so popular.

For Qin Fusheng, Xiao Jianing felt that he was far away from him, because he basically didn't ask about the business of the film and television company, and Song Pengcheng took care of it.

It wasn't until the rumors spread out that she searched the Internet for the news of the original Jiangnan Real Estate IPO, which had photos of Qin Fusheng beating the gong and going public.

With black-rimmed glasses, a beard, and piercing eyes, he looks like a successful business elite. Although he is a big star in the eyes of the public, compared with such a figure, he is just a working boy and still works for him. Xiao Jianing looked at it and casually closed the webpage with the mouse.

This time a joint press conference was held, and Xiao Jianing also arrived at the scene, and now she is the hot spot chased by the media, and she just takes advantage of each other's publicity opportunities.

In the backstage rest area before the start of the press conference, there are people in the political and business circles, Xiao Jianing obviously feels that she is no longer the focus of everyone's eyes, after all, Li Zhiguo, secretary of the Hudong Municipal Party Committee, Mr. Egger, chairman of Disney Company, and others are all on the scene.

On the eve of the just-concluded Third Plenum of the CPC Central Committee, Li Zhiguo officially took over the post of secretary of the Hudong Municipal Party Committee, and the former secretary was promoted to another appointment of the central government, which means that he has finally officially taken over the leadership of China's largest economic city. The negotiations with Disney have been promoted by him, and now they have finally reaped the results, so Li Zhiguo seems to be very satisfied.

In the cooperation with Disney, there are different opinions in China that the government has invested too much in it, and domestic companies should come forward rather than the government to invest in it. Li Zhiguo simply suppressed these dissenting opinions, and Disneyland's settlement in Hudong brought not only economic effects, but also the political significance of Sino-US cooperation and the promotion of Hudong's image as an international metropolis. Not to mention the huge GDP and employment opportunities that the investment of up to 28 billion yuan will bring, if the Hudong municipal government does not intervene, the Disney project will definitely not be able to land, and Li Zhiguo, who has been involved in the negotiation process, has a very deep understanding of this.

After a while, Qin Fusheng, the president of Jiangnan Group, came in, he is one of the protagonists today, but compared with Li Zhiguo and Mr. Egger, he is much more low-key.

At this time, Xiao Jianing could watch this Qin Fusheng who had always made her a little curious up close, that is, her real boss. He still wears black-rimmed glasses, the beard on his chin is much less than a faint circle, and his hair is a little longer, which is much younger than the photos he saw on the Internet.

Looking at his side back, Xiao Jianing always felt a little familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember who he was like.

Qin Ran obviously didn't notice Xiao Jianing, who was sitting in the corner on the side, he was having a good conversation with Li Zhiguo and Mr. Egger, and after a long period of negotiations, they had a lot of trust in each other. Today is a big day for signing a contract, and it is not easy for everyone, so we must work hard for the same goal in the future.

Retrieving information in her brain, stretching out her ears to listen, Xiao Jianing heard some familiar accents, and suddenly a boy's name popped up in her mind - Qin Ran!

This is embarrassing, Qin Ran obviously died in an accident two years ago, not to mention that he is just an ordinary college student, and there is a gap between him and the current richest man in the mainland.

Xiao Jianing has studied acting, so she has a high talent in observing and speculating on the details of the characters' movements and expressions, and she gradually compares the Qin Ran she saw at the beginning with the Qin Fusheng in front of her, and the more she looks, the more she feels that the two are the same person.

Although the brain told himself that this was a very ridiculous event, the voice in his heart kept lingering saying that his judgment was not wrong, if he threw away his identity and appearance, it would be Qin Ran's rebirth when viewed from the side.

Wait, Qin Fusheng, the name of the two words of resurrection is too coincidental, Xiao Jianing suddenly felt that she had discovered some big secret.

If the distance between Qin Fusheng and her was very far away before, then now what Xiao Jianing hopes to do is to close the distance between the two as soon as possible, and then prove to face whether her inference is true or not!

She was looking for an opportunity, a chance to be alone. Soon, this opportunity appeared, and Qin Fusheng got up as if he was going to go to the toilet.

Looking at his departing back, Xiao Jianing quickly followed, and secretly followed Qin Fusheng and watched him enter the men's bathroom.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Jianing secretly hid at the door of the women's bathroom, waiting for the target to appear.

Because a large-scale press conference is to be held, the backstage area of the hotel needs to be entered and exited with documents, and idle people can't wait to enter, so Xiao Jianing hid at the door and no one found out.

Three points can't be done, Qin Ran finished the convenience, washed his hands and dried them, walked out quickly, and walked back to the conference hall easily. At this time, Xiao Jianing suddenly jumped out of the women's bathroom and shouted.

"Qin Ran!" (To be continued.) )
