After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Secretary Xiang Dongfang suddenly came over and said something in Cao Zhiqiang's ear.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to get up and say goodbye on the grounds that the leader had something to do with him, so that everyone could continue to eat and drink well.

After simply saying goodbye to everyone, Cao Zhiqiang left in a hurry with his secretary Xiang Dongfang, leaving the scene to everyone.

Not to mention, as soon as Cao Zhiqiang, the eldest elder, left, the scene immediately became more lively after spending the initial quiet.

Boxing, toasting, chatting, bragging, all began to let go of eating, drinking, and chatting, and there was a happy atmosphere everywhere.

The warm atmosphere of the sudden explosion was felt even by Cao Zhiqiang, who had just left the scene.

Stopping and turning around, looking up at the brightly lit window, feeling the boiling sky inside, Cao Zhiqiang, who had just walked out of the door of the building, smiled: "Sure enough, if I am present, everyone is uncomfortable.

Secretary Xiang, you are still smart and know how to use the leader to find me as an excuse to help me get out, so that they are at ease, and I am at ease, okay, okay."

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "President, I don't dare to fake the holy decree, just now it was really Director Li who invited you to meet, I didn't dare to slack off after receiving the call, and immediately came to you as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang turned around and looked at Xiang Dongfang, "Is it really Director Li looking for me?" Not lying to me?"

"How dare I lie to you." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "At least this kind of thing, I don't dare to lie to you."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned slightly: "Looking for me at this time, what is the matter?"

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang decided not to want to, let Xiang Dongfang drive, and took him directly to the machinery factory guest house.

Soon, Xiang Dongfang drove over, and after Cao Zhiqiang got into the co-pilot, he didn't drive for the first time, but handed Cao Zhiqiang a military kettle first: "Come, president, drink some tea first, wake up the bar."

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang took the military kettle in a daze and shook it, "Here, tea?"

"yes!" Xiang Dongfang said with a smile, "I knew you were going to drink today, so I prepared some tea in advance and prepared it for you to sober up."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "I see, but Secretary Xiang, this tea can't relieve hangover, and it will also increase the burden on the body, so this hangover method is wrong."

"Really?" Xiang Dongfang was stunned, "But after my dad and they drink, they all use strong tea to relieve hangover?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "That's because tea can refresh and relieve a little dizziness and drowsiness after drinking.

In principle, in the process of alcohol metabolism in the human body, a large amount of substances that inhibit the nerves of the brain will be produced, so drinking too much will make people drowsy.

The *** in strong tea can excite the nerves, have a refreshing effect, and feel as if it can relieve hangover, but it is not.

Therefore, drinking tea does not relieve hangover, it only refreshes people and increases the burden on the kidneys."

"I see?" Xiang Dongfang was stunned, "Then, since that's the case, don't drink it, president."

"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang unscrewed the lid with a smile, "It's rare that you have a good intention, and drinking tea just can't cure the root cause, and it can't cure the hangover fundamentally, but the refreshing effect is still very effective, at least it can cure the symptoms."

Besides, I don't drink much, I'm not drunk at all, so drink some tea to moisten my throat and refresh myself, that's not bad."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang directly poured two sips: "Well, it's good, jasmine tea, it's delicious."

After drinking, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xiang Dongfang, who pursed his lips and looked at him without speaking: "Look at ***, driving, didn't you say that Director Li was looking for me?"

"Oooh." Xiang Dongfang came back to his senses and hurriedly started the car.

"Hey, hey, slow down." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly said, "Take a deep breath, calm down, drive slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Yes!" Xiang Dongfang took a deep breath, then stabilized again and started skillfully in gear.

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang had already fastened his seat belt and screwed the lid of the kettle, he didn't want to drink tea while driving, it was too unsafe.

Without saying anything all the way, Xiang Dongfang drove quickly

Came to the guest house of the Hongguang Machinery Factory.

After parking the car in the guest house inside the machinery factory, Xiang Dongfang followed Cao Zhiqiang and went to the booked private room under the leadership of the waiter.

As soon as I opened the door of the private room, I saw that there were already three people sitting inside.

Two of them know each other, namely Director Li and Secretary Dong.

There was also a man I didn't know, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a short-sleeved shirt, who looked to be in his fifties, and who looked like a senior leader.

The reason why I feel that he is a senior leader, in addition to the fact that he looks particularly leadery, is mainly because he sits in the guest of honor seat, next to Secretary Dong in the main escort seat.

As for Director Li, he is just a deputy accompaniment.

Therefore, just by looking at the seats of these people, you know that the old man who does not know is the main guest today.

After taking in all these people at a glance, Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly took the first step to clench his fists and smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there is something in the unit, it's late, don't blame it!"

Director Li smiled, and was the first to stand up and said, "What's so strange about this, Xiao Cao, you came just in time, come, take a seat."

Soon, Director Li beckoned Cao Zhiqiang to enter his left-hand side, that is, the seat of the escort.

In this seat, on the right is Director Li, and on the left is the old man with glasses that I don't know.

What? Xiang Dongfang?

She's just a secretary, and she doesn't have the right to sit here and eat, so she doesn't just enter the door.

This is not what Cao Zhiqiang asked her to do, but she did it consciously.

Cao Zhiqiang originally felt embarrassed and wanted to ask her to come in.

But thinking about it again, except for him, there are a group of old men here, and they are all men, forcibly letting Xiang Dongfang come over, maybe she is even more uncomfortable, so she pretends not to know.

After taking a seat, Director Li, the deputy accompaniment, soon began to make an introduction.

The so-called introduction, of course, is to introduce the guest of honor, that is, the old man who wears glasses and wears a short-sleeved shirt.

It doesn't matter if you introduce it, Cao Zhiqiang knew that this was a great god.

It turned out that this old man's surname was Shi, and he was the current director of the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture.

The director of the Film Bureau, this is amazing, this is the National Film Bureau in the future.

Of course, the current Film Bureau is still under the banner of the Ministry of Culture, but even so, the power is not small, but big.

Because during this period, the Film Bureau could not only manage the production, review and distribution of films, but also control the establishment of studios, and even movie theaters in various places could intervene.

There is also the awesome China Film Company, which is the only state-owned enterprise that can monopolize film distribution in China, which is also under the management of the Film Bureau at this time.

As soon as he heard the other party's name, Cao Zhiqiang immediately understood the purpose of inviting the other party here.

This is clearly talking about the establishment of a film studio.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but look at Director Li.

Good guy, Director Li has such a big face, can he really invite this great god over?

Knowing this, I wouldn't have played a gambling game with Uncle Xu in the first place.

I thought so, but Cao Zhiqiang remained silent, and after the greetings, he waited for Director Li to talk to Secretary Dong.

After all, here, it is Secretary Dong and Director Li who are the guests, and they have the most right to speak.

Sure enough, after drinking three glasses of wine, Director Li began to introduce Cao Zhiqiang's situation to Director Shi little by little.

For example, how did Cao Zhiqiang become a world-famous poet with a collection of poems, and became a 10,000-yuan household.

Here is talking about Cao Zhiqiang's talent.

For another example, how did Cao Zhiqiang build a regular publishing house on his own.

This is Cao Zhiqiang's background.

For another example, after Cao Zhiqiang contracted the publishing house, how did he quickly publish a book at the beginning of his tenure, and in a short period of time, it became the best-selling and most profitable book in China this year.

What we are talking about here is Cao Zhiqiang's personal management ability.

For example, how Cao Zhiqiang established the Hongguang Department Store in a short period of time, engaged in a convenience kiosk chain project, and absorbed a large number of idle personnel in the factory.

What we are talking about here is Cao Zhiqiang's overall planning ability.

Finally, he also focused on how Cao Zhiqiang established Huaxia Audiovisual Company and launched the first music album that he arranged and wrote his own lyrics and sang, and in less than two weeks, the sales exceeded 3 million copies.

What stands out here is Cao Zhiqiang's personal ability.

It can be said that throughout the whole process, Director Li was bragging about Cao Zhiqiang's ability, and almost all the exploits and achievements that Cao Zhiqiang could tell.

This is clearly showing off ability.

However, from another point of view, this is more like a product display briefing, but the product on display is Cao Zhiqiang.

After talking a lot about Cao Zhiqiang's, Director Li began to talk about Cao Zhiqiang's previous idea, that is, in the name of Hongguang Machinery Factory, to establish a self-funded film studio that does not need the above appropriation.

In the process of establishing the film studio, all the expenses are borne by the Hongguang Publishing House, and the government does not need to pay a penny.

But the relevant policies, such as submissions, distribution, etc., are the same as those of other film studios.

After saying a good job, Director Li also had a dry mouth, directly grabbed the teapot, and poured himself three cups of tea in a row.

On the contrary, it was the Director Shi who sat in his seat and kept smoking, without saying a word.

As if finding that Director Shi didn't react, Secretary Dong suddenly smiled: "Director Shi, can you do it, give me a happy word?"

Director Shi sighed at this time, pushed the cigarette butt to the ashtray, turned his head to Secretary Dong and said, "Secretary Dong, since I have talked about this, I will also tell you the truth.

In fact, at the level of your factory, it is not impossible to establish a state-owned film factory.

After all, we are talking about innovation and change now, and there is indeed a voice above recently, that is, all units like film studios will be politically transformed into enterprises, and in the future, they will no longer be public institutions, but will be turned into enterprise establishments, so as to reduce the financial burden.

So from this point of view, it is indeed a good pilot for your factory to build a film factory, and I am very much in favor of it from the bottom of my heart."

"Oh?" Secretary Dong smiled, "So, is it okay?"

"Don't worry." Director Shi waved his hand, "Secretary Dong, although we didn't have much contact before, we can be regarded as acquaintances, there are some things I can't lie to you, I have to explain it to you."

"Please speak, please speak." Secretary Dong hurriedly said, "I must listen to you!"

Director Shi nodded, took out another cigarette, and before he could light it, Cao Zhiqiang took out a brass-colored Zippo lighter and snapped the flame.

Director Shi was stunned for a moment, glanced at the lighter in Cao Zhiqiang's hand, and then put the cigarette on the flame and lit it.

After lighting the cigarette, Director Shi glanced at Cao Zhiqiang's lighter again, and then resumed his cigarette.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he silently put the lighter on the table and did not put it back in his pocket.

After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Director Shi looked at Cao Zhiqiang, who was smiling, nodded slightly, and then turned his head to Secretary Dong and said, "Secretary Dong, let's not hide it, if you want to set up a film studio, the license issue is not a problem, the key is the funding issue.

Because to build a film studio from scratch, you need at least one million dollars.

There should be no shortage of factories and manpower, but the equipment and equipment for filming, such as cameras and so on, are quite expensive, even if they are domestic, they are not cheap.

Even if you can get the start-up capital and buy photographic equipment, making movies is a very risky business.

In our current situation, you have no experience at all, and to make a movie, even the cheapest feature film, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands.

The question is, after you make a movie, can you accept your film for distribution, and this is not my own

Personally, I have the final say, but I look at the meaning of the film company.

All in all, running a film studio is a business with a large investment, slow results, and even a loss of money.

Especially you, who have no experience at all before, and are stubborn to run a film studio, I'm afraid that if you mess up, you won't be able to make ends meet, and in the end it will become a mess, which will make you and me look bad.

When the time comes, you will come and complain about me again, and I can't afford this."

Hearing this, Secretary Dong smiled: "Director Shi, don't worry, didn't I say it, our film factory, just like the previous publishing house, is nominally a subordinate unit of our factory, but in fact, it is a unit contracted by our Cao Zhiqiang.

In other words, all the expenses for running a film studio are paid by him personally.

Including the funds needed to build a film studio, purchase equipment, hire actors, shoot movies, etc., he solved.

We're just going to make a venue, and we're going to make a name.

As for whether he made money or lost money, it was all Cao Zhiqiang's personal problem.

When I say that, you should understand what's going on, right?"

"Oh?" Director Shi turned his head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, "Is it true? Are you really going to build this studio out of your own pocket?"

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I have agreed with Secretary Dong and Director Li that the film factory is nominally a unit of the machinery factory, but I am personally responsible for all expenses, and the film factory is also my cooperation with the machinery factory in the mode of contract operation."

"Why are you doing this?" Director Shi frowned, "Do you know how much it costs? One million is less, in fact, with the current situation, if you really want to build a decent film factory, the investment in equipment alone is more than one million, how can you have two million less, do you have so much money?"

"Absolutely." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "If not, I wouldn't dare to open this mouth."

"Wow!" Director Shi smiled, "I really didn't expect that you would still be a millionaire at such a young age!"

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and pointed to his temple, "It's all earned little by little by relying on brains, of course, policies."

"Hahaha." Director Shi smiled again, "Amazing, amazing!"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "So, Director Shi, since I can succeed in other aspects, I also want to try my hand in film.

How can you say it, you can use me as a pilot to see if the model of individual contracting can be successful.

If I don't succeed, it's just one more film studio that doesn't look good, and one more is not much, and it won't affect you.

But if I succeed and the film studio I contract to run not only does not lose money, but makes money, then this is also an example for you, isn't it?

This shows that the film studio is not unprofitable, but the operation method is wrong.

Perhaps, in the future, when our film studio makes a series of excellent films and makes money, you will have to let people come to our factory to learn advanced experience."

"Interesting, really interesting." Director Shi nodded with a smile.

After extinguishing the cigarette again, Director Shi coughed: "Okay, since everything has been said about this, in principle, I agree to this matter, tomorrow you send someone to my office, I will let someone go through the formalities for you, but ......

"But what?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"I'm talking ugly." Director Shi looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "I can agree to let you open a film studio, but the premise is that the newly established film studio must have one million funds in the account.

Moreover, after the establishment of the film studio, since you are a state-owned enterprise or a contracted operation, the government will not invest money in you.

In other words, whether you make money or lose money, it's your own business.

If you lose money, don't cry to me when the time comes."

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "The eldest husband is hard to chase after his words, and he will never regret it if he says that he is responsible for his own profits and losses!"

"Ugh." Director Shi shook his head, "Since you have to

In this case, I have nothing to say, so so be it."

Speaking of this, Director Li immediately picked up a bottle of wine and said, "Come on, come on, eat and eat, Director Shi, I respect you, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return."

Cao Zhiqiang suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed Director Li's wine bottle.

"Cao?" Director Li looked at Cao Zhiqiang in surprise.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Director Li, it's rare for Director Shi to come, so you will give him this Huadu?" What do you drink in this kind of Beiping Moutai? Why can't you go to a real Moutai?"

Director Li was stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "Real Moutai? I also thought, but this kind of wine is so expensive, where is it so easy to get it?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Coincidentally, I really poured a few bottles recently, you wait, I'll go get it."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang left in a hurry, returned to the trunk of the car, and pretended to take something, but in fact took out two bottles of Moutai from his carry-on space.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang took Moutai back to the private room.

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang really took out Moutai, everyone was shocked.

Because Moutai during this period is really too difficult to see, because in addition to ***, it is basically used to exchange foreign exchange.

Even people of the level of Director Shi and Secretary Dong usually can't drink Moutai.

"This, this ......" Director Li was stunned, "Where did you come from Moutai?"

"I bought it for money." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"How is that possible?" Director Li exclaimed.

"Nothing impossible." Cao Zhiqiang said, "As long as the money is given enough, there will always be some channels to buy it, this, not much to say, come, drink!"

Director Shi smiled, "Oh, President Cao is really powerful, powerful."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Market economy, existence is reasonable."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and filled a glass of wine for Director Shi: "Don't say it, come, drink!" Let's drink this real Moutai!"

Director Li also hurriedly stood up and coaxed: "Yes, yes, Director Shi, you must drink all your best today, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
