Chapter 585: Signing Ceremony
In the following days, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun did not meet Li Mingbao again. In the case that both sides understand that this matter cannot be resolved in the short term, there is not much practical point in meeting again, not to mention that there was such a big contradiction between Li Mingbao and Zou Wenhuai before, and it will not be too pleasant to meet each other again, so although both parties live in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, they still do not meet each other.
Although things on Li Mingbao's side can't go through, it doesn't mean that Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are idle, Li Mingbao also mentioned before that they let the Hong Kong film industry and the mainland have more in-depth exchanges. Although Zou Wenhuai and Li Mingbao have a grudge, Zou Wenhuai also worked this issue, so in the next few days, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun visited the relevant leaders in China, and then asked about relevant matters, which did not seem leisurely, and because the two of them came too late, and then had to return to Hong Kong with the delegation, the time left for them was actually not so generous. If they can't solve the problem in a short period of time, or get a rough idea, then even if they go back to Hong Kong, they may not be able to feel at ease.
Compared with the busyness of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, Li Mingbao has really been leisurely in the past two days, and after having a good time, he is ready to start the signing ceremony. Regarding the previous cooperation projects, both the general situation and the details have been discussed, so the signing ceremony was officially held.
At this signing ceremony, the mainland side also put the ceremony in the Great Hall in a unique way. Perhaps twenty years from now, it is not uncommon to have a signing ceremony in the Great Hall, and even a private company with a little energy can arrange it here.
But now in the past eight or four years, such a thing still seems a bit shocking. Before this, except for the cooperation between the state level, the cooperation between the state and enterprises has never been opened here, and Li Mingbao can be regarded as a precedent. Let those enterprises after them have a relevant basis, and indirectly let such a solemn place as the Great Hall accept the edification of business in advance.
At the signing ceremony this time, the old leaders of the mainland side naturally appeared, and then the mainland side also arranged for two leaders at the national level to attend the ceremony, which can be regarded as quite important. And this attention is not only seen in Li Mingbao's investment quota, but also in Li Mingbao's contribution to the mainland, which is even more meaningful. The signing ceremony of the mainland side through guò wants to express the importance that the mainland side attaches to foreign investment, and also paves the way for the policy of completely opening up private enterprises to sole proprietorship in the future.
Compared with the mainland's attention, there are also many people from Li Mingbao's side. Li Mingbao naturally didn't need to say much, and there were a lot of other employees, in addition to those responsible people involved in the mainland's related industries, there were also a lot of people in charge in Hong Kong and the United States, and even Jiang Zhiqiang was recruited by Li Mingbao at this time. Although it was a face-to-face meeting, it did not mean to let Jiang Zhiqiang get acquainted with the mainland business.
In the industry in the United States, although Jiang Zhiqiang's previous efforts have become the basis for its rise, but now with the emergence of more and more professionals, Jiang Zhiqiang's role in the United States has also decreased a lot. It's not that Li Mingbao looks down on Jiang Zhiqiang, and he is ready to throw it away when he runs out of people. It's really because there are not many places in the United States that are really suitable for Jiang Zhiqiang's play.
If Jiang Zhiqiang had been running the markets in Europe and other regions before, it would have been a suitable errand with his old roots. But now, as the cooperation between DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox is getting closer and closer, most of Jiang Zhiqiang's previous businesses have been undertaken by Twentieth Century Fox.
Compared with the old channels of Twentieth Century Fox, Jiang Zhiqiang's previous channels cannot be on the table at all. Under the superior resources of others, Jiang Zhiqiang has not much room to play. In addition, the affairs of DreamWorks, especially about the North American market, are more undertaken by Mary, and Jiang Zhiqiang's status in the company, or its importance, is also declining rapidly.
Li Mingbao is not an impersonal person, Jiang Zhiqiang's business problems in the United States, Li Mingbao has known for a long time. If Jiang Zhiqiang is a person who likes to sleep lying on the credit book, Li Mingbao doesn't mind giving him a high salary to sleep there, and when developing the American market, Jiang Zhiqiang's ability has given Li Mingbao a lot of help, although Jiang Zhiqiang's importance has dropped to a low point now, but Li Mingbao will not abandon him, so give him a high salary, Li Mingbao doesn't mind at all.
It's a pity that Jiang Zhiqiang is a career-minded person, and he can't be considered a lot of peace at all, if the work task is very heavy, Jiang Zhiqiang will not only not be unhappy, but will be very happy. However, in a situation like the current one, it is Jiang Zhiqiang's least favorite model, even if Li Mingbao is willing to offer her a high price, Jiang Zhiqiang still doesn't like the status quo.
Under such circumstances, Li Mingbao naturally wanted to find a suitable job for Jiang Zhiqiang to arrange him. However, Li Mingbao really can't think of any place where Jiang Zhiqiang needs to develop in the cause of the United States, after all, Jiang Zhiqiang's role is really not much under other advantageous resources.
Therefore, in order to arrange a reasonable position for a career strongman like Jiang Zhiqiang, Li Mingbao was also very troubled before, but fortunately, the business on the mainland side has developed greatly, and more importantly, the theater business on the mainland side still needs a lot of elite personnel, and everyone is recruited from outside, and there is no one who completely belongs to him, Li Mingbao is somewhat uneasy. And Jiang Zhiqiang happened to be in the United States at this time and there was not much to do, so Li Mingbao felt that it should be a good idea to let Jiang Zhiqiang come to the mainland to start a new period of work.
Whether it is to let him manage the newly built theater chain, or to let him deepen cooperation with those film studios on the mainland, it should be quite suitable for him. Compared with digging relevant talents on the mainland, Li Mingbao really feels that the effect of using Jiang Zhiqiang should be better. After all, Jiang Zhiqiang's vision is not comparable to his peers on the mainland, and coupled with his experience, it should be easier than outsiders to develop well on the mainland. Therefore, at this signing ceremony, Li Mingbao directly asked Jiang Zhiqiang to come to the mainland, so that he could have a familiar face in front of the people here, and he would be able to do things well in the future.
After a group of people are seated, then the photographers below are also ready. Compared with any signing ceremony in the future, the current shooting scene undoubtedly seems shabby, although the level of the characters present is very high, but in fact, there are only two TV stations that can really put cameras below, one is CCTV, they can be regarded as landlords, and the other is the wireless of the sixth uncle. In addition to these two TV stations, other TV stations have no reporters coming at all, so this situation naturally looks shabby and completely unavailable.
For such a situation, Li Mingbao is also calm. After all, the current situation in the mainland is like this, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Liu's side was still active recently, maybe the movie station that could interview such a signing ceremony would be the only CCTV alone.
After a qiē was ready, the old chief, who was sitting opposite Li Mingbao, spoke at this time: "Today is the signing ceremony between our country and the Li Group in Hong Kong. As for Mr. Li Mingbao's investment in China, our state officials have a welcoming attitude. There is a certain gap between domestic development and foreign development. However, such a gap is not impossible to overcome, and the cooperation between us is not only to overcome the gap, but also to make the film industry reach advanced standards on the international stage.
In particular, the cooperation project of the film and television city has set an international precedent. In the world, no company has made such a large investment as the Li Group, and the establishment of this project also marks a new step in China's film industry. Here, on behalf of the people of the whole country, I sincerely wish the Li Group's film and television city project to create a new glory in the history of zào films. ”
After that, the old chief said a little bit about the domestic film market, or the entire entertainment market, after the completion of the construction of this film and television city project, what kind of positive role will it play, and what kind of benefits Li Mingbao's other construction projects will play in the development of the domestic entertainment industry, and what positive role will it play in promoting the country's image.
Anyway, in a word, Li Mingbao's construction of these projects is successful, so the domestic entertainment industry will immediately be able to catch up with Britain and the United States, and can play a leading role in the world. Although Li Mingbao's projects can indeed play a great positive role in some aspects, they will definitely not have any earth-shaking effects as the old chief said.
Of course, Li Mingbao at this time will naturally not go against the old chief because of this problem, after all, such a scene, as long as it is a cooperation, he will say it. Especially in the current mainland, it is quite allergic to terms such as innovation, new high, world-class, and world-advanced. And what kind of international gap to fill, it is even more a matter of great joy for all, and if Li Mingbao says anything against this aspect, it will really be a brain-dead thing.
Anyway, he understands what kind of effect these industries he can achieve, and he actually has the same attitude as the mainland, and the more exaggerated the better, as long as it is not said that with the promotion of these projects, the mainland will immediately be able to explode the United States and other exaggerated things that cannot be fulfilled at all, and Li Mingbao will not care too much.
And after the old chief's tirade, it was finally about Li Mingbao's words, which were similar to the old chief's words, and they were basically articles like flowers. Anyway, if you brag and don't pay taxes, Li Mingbao is not afraid at all.
After everyone had finished speaking, Li Mingbao officially signed his name on the contracts for those cooperation projects. After signing such a name, it means that Li Mingbao's investment in the mainland has officially kicked off.
