Chapter 443: Extraneous Sounds
Ye Ming is very familiar with Chen Mengqi's character of "only trying to give, not asking", and at this moment, seeing Xia Jiao crying because she was moved, she said with deep feelings: "Jiaojiao, Qiqi is such a person, sincere, kind, generous, to paraphrase a sentence that is not very appropriate, she is 'I would rather the world bear me, not I should bear the world'." Two years ago, she and her mother went to Australia, and after returning to China, she didn't dare to go back to Xinleng County, unable to protect and worship the tombs of her father and Chaoge. Now she is funding you to open an entertainment city, which is also a way for her to repay her kindness, so you don't have too many scruples and psychological burdens. β
Speaking of this, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, got up and said, "You still have entertainment over there, and I have to go back to the canteen to eat, so let's stop here for the time being!" In the future, if you encounter any troubles and problems that you can't solve by yourself, you can come to me, and I will find a way to solve them for you. β
Xia Jiao shook her head and said: "Brother Ye, before Sister Qiqi invested in us, she repeatedly told us: You are now the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, and you are very busy with work, and you have not been in Beishan for a long time, your foothold is not stable, and there are many opposites, and I don't know how many sinister eyes are staring at you behind your back, wanting to grab your pigtails and ruin your image, so we must not trouble you and drag you down." Unless absolutely necessary, all the people in the casino, including me, can't go to you to greet the casino and give the green light. My thoughts are the same as Sister Qiqi's, I don't dare to trouble you easily, so we have been in Beishan for more than two months, and we haven't told you. β
Ye Ming knew that Chen Mengqi and Xia Jiao's worries were reasonable, so he didn't want to say anything, nodded and said: "Okay, you operate according to your own ideas, as long as Beishan develops, the prospects of this entertainment city are very good, I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity, I will leave first." β
Xia Jiao sent Ye Ming out of the office, because she was worried about being seen, she didn't go outside, and after seeing Ye Ming walk out of the hall outside, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the other two local employees, asking them to rush to the entertainment city immediately to take a look at the venue.
A few minutes later, two employees arrived, Xia Jiao explained the precautions to them, and then hurried out and drove to the "DoubleTree Tea Restaurant" on Xinhua Road.
It turned out that Xia Jiao was once again banqueting the leaders of the County Cultural Bureau today, in order to get the "Cultural Business License" of the Blue Moon Performing Arts Center as soon as possible. Because if this certificate is not done well, it will not be possible to apply for a safety permit for public security and fire protection, nor can it apply for a business license.
The opening date discussed by Xia Jiao and Xia Feifei is Christmas, that is, December 25, which is only a little more than a month away. In order to hold the opening ceremony, they invited a special team to plan and host the celebration ceremony in the provincial capital, some important VIP invitations have been issued, and several second- and third-tier singers, dancers, and comedians have been invited to perform through some nightclubs in the provincial capital, and the contract has been signed. If you can't open on time due to incomplete licenses, it will not only make some guests unhappy, but also bear a lot of costs for breach of contract.
According to Xia Jiao's idea, the "Blue Moon Performing Arts Center" is a formal entertainment venue, and Beishan County just lacks this kind of relatively high-end and trendy entertainment center, and the county cultural bureau should be very happy to approve the "Cultural Business License". But then it turned out that she was naΓ―ve!
On September 25, she took the relevant application materials to the market unit of the county cultural bureau to apply for the "Cultural Business License". A clerk from the market unit first browsed her application materials, and then took her to meet Liu Xicai, the head of the unit. After carefully reading Blue Moon's articles of association, investment amount, equity ratio, etc., Liu Xicaizai's eyes lit up suddenly, and asked Xia Jiao: "Miss Xia, are you the general manager of this performing arts center?" Are you really going to invest 10 million yuan to build this casino? β
Xia Jiao nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this 10 million yuan is only our initial investment, mainly used for venue leasing, interior decoration, and the purchase of various equipment, and we have an additional investment of 5 million in the later stage to hire professional bands and professional actors, so our total investment is actually 15 million yuan." β
After Liu Xicai listened to her introduction with interest, he kept rubbing his palms, looking excited, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, great." Miss Xia, you put the application materials here first, and I will report to the bureau leaders in the afternoon, and we will get the documents for you as soon as possible. β
When Xia Jiao heard his words, she was very happy in her heart, thinking that this certificate would be done soon. But after a few days, she realized that she was completely wrong.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Liu Xicai personally drove to the entertainment city that was being renovated, found Xia Jiao, and told her with a sad face: Gu Xin, the leader of the Cultural Bureau, decided not to issue a certificate after reviewing the application materials of Blue Moon, because opposite the Blue Moon Performing Arts Center is a residential community, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the "Regulations on the Administration of Entertainment Venues", nightclubs, KTVs and other entertainment venues cannot be located around residential areas, otherwise the "Cultural Business License" will not be issued. Therefore, in order for Blue Moon to be approved, it must change its business address.
Xia Jiao was dumbfounded all of a sudden: she didn't know that there was a "Regulations on the Administration of Entertainment Venues", let alone that entertainment venues could not be set up around residential areas. Now, they have signed a five-year rental agreement with the landlord boss, and have paid half a year's rent and a deposit of 50,000 yuan in advance. Moreover, one-third of the decoration of the performing arts center has been completed, and more than 3 million yuan has been invested, and it is completely impossible to replace the venue.
So, she anxiously asked Liu Xicai: "Chief Liu, can this be accommodating?" I see that there are also residential communities around many entertainment venues, not to mention that your Beishan is only so big, and it is basically impossible to find a business location without residential areas in the urban area, unless this entertainment city is opened to the suburbs, otherwise you can't find a business place that meets the regulations. β
Liu Xicai tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "You are here to invest in Beishan, of course we must fully support and enthusiastically serve you, and some things can be accommodating." It's just that I'm just a small head of the market unit, and I only have the right to make a preliminary review when it comes to business licenses, not the right to decide. If you want to be accommodating and take care of it, you can only go to the bureau leader, and you must have the bureau leader to bear the burden and be responsible. β
Xia Jiao has been wandering outside for many years, and as soon as she heard Liu Xicai's words, she understood his extraneous voice: he was hinting that he was going to deal with and bribe the leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and he could act as an intermediary and contact the leaders for himself.
So, she said very happily: "Chief Liu, I only know you in the county cultural bureau, so it's not good to rush to the bureau leaders to plead." Or, please help our company, ask the bureau leaders out for dinner for us, and ask you to say a few kind words in front of them. Don't worry, I'm a businessman, I know the rules of doing things, and I won't let you advance money to do things. β
