Chapter 251 Money is a lot of people and stupid Lin bosses
As the saying goes, 'there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do', for Xu Zhengdao, who returned to the capital this time, although he asked his sister-in-law for help, he could also prepare to set up an office as soon as possible. But he feels that there are some things that need to be avoided, and his surname is now Lin.
Knowing that Xu Zhengdao was going to find a courtyard house as the office of the Beijing office, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was also very resolute and sent someone to recommend a courtyard house that met his requirements, which showed his enthusiasm and attitude.
After some screening, Xu Zhengdao finally chose a well-preserved four-entry courtyard. In the words of consultant Qian Chuanlin, this courtyard house was inhabited by the officials of the Yipin court in the early years, so the workmanship and location are self-evident.
After finalizing the office location, Xu Zhengdao also discussed the price of this courtyard house with the clerk who accompanied him. When he heard the clerk, he said a little cautiously: "Mr. Lin, we only accept foreign exchange, I don't know if you have any problems." ”
"Of course that's fine! I also know that this kind of courtyard house is very rare, and if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to buy such a good courtyard house. There is no problem with paying in foreign currency, and you can set the price at your exchange rate. ”
"Previously, our leader said that if Mr. Lin really likes this courtyard house, then he only needs to pay 80,000 US dollars."
"How much? (How much?) )”
As soon as the words fell, Qian Chuanlin, who accompanied the house, couldn't help but widen his eyes. In Qian Chuanlin's opinion, this four-entry courtyard house is really good, but 80,000 US dollars is undoubtedly a sky-high price. So when he heard the offer, he couldn't help but be surprised.
It seemed that the price was too high, and the clerk hurriedly said, "If Mr. Lin thinks it is expensive, he can also negotiate it again." ”
As a result, to the surprise of Qian Chuanlin and the clerk, Xu Zhengdao said very directly: "Eighty thousand US dollars, at the current market price, it is indeed a bit expensive." But this kind of courtyard house is undoubtedly very scarce at present, and one is sold for less.
I agree with the price, but I need your help to pull up a telephone line, preferably a long-distance telephone line that can be contacted directly with Xiangjiang. In addition, I will ask someone to redecorate the yard, this should be no problem, right? ”
"Nope! I will report to the leader about the installation of the phone, and I believe that it will be installed soon. ”
"Okay, then let's go through the formalities!"
Originally, according to Xu Zhengdao's meaning, the price of this courtyard house was less than 100,000 US dollars, but he was actually willing to pay it. Eighty thousand dollars, although a bit expensive. The problem is that if it doesn't matter, money may not be able to buy this kind of courtyard house.
Seeing that Xu Zhengdao agreed to the offer, but offered to install a long-distance telephone for free, the bridge office naturally would not refuse. Within two days, the telephone line was connected, and a specially customized signboard was hung at the entrance of the courtyard.
As an office clerk, He Xiaowu finally has a formal job and identity. Even at the request of Xu Zhengdao, let him start learning to drive. In the later stage, the office will definitely have to be equipped with one or two cars.
And Qian Chuanlin's apprentices and grandchildren were soon summoned again and began to decorate the four-entry courtyard for Xu Zhengdao. Compared with the previously renovated courtyard, this kind of courtyard is a high-walled and deep courtyard, and ordinary people can't live in it at all.
Because it will take some time to decorate the office, Xu Zhengdao, who still lives in the Shichahai courtyard, soon saw the sister-in-law who came to the door in the evening. Seeing that he was not surprised to see him, the sister-in-law also smiled and said, "Do you know that I will come?" ”
"I guess it's about the same. I will definitely report my dealings with the Bridge Office. Hurry on in! ”
After leading Xu Hongying into his home, Xu Zhengdao also began to ask the bridge office, or the cultural department, about his reaction to the establishment of the office. As a result, it is clear that the above seems to attach great importance to this matter.
Don't look at it now, Xu Zhengdao only spent 80,000 US dollars to buy an office space for the office. However, the bridge office and the leaders above know that with this office, there will be more opportunities to deal with the mythical group in the future.
And Xu Hongying even joked with a smile: "Now it is said in the circle that there is a stupid man with a lot of money in Xiangjiang, and he spends 80,000 US dollars to buy a broken yard." Isn't it surprising to hear this evaluation? ”
"It's better to be stupid, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing sometimes. Sister-in-law, how is your work lately? ”
"What else, I can't read the documents every day, and I can't sign them. Headaches! ”
"What do you mean by what I told you before?"
"And the discussion! Do you think this kind of thing will be discussed in a while? Without two or three years of effort, I'm afraid that the discussion will not be fruitful. However, in response to the movie theater problem you mentioned, someone has already been sent to investigate.
In addition, the matter of cultural copyright and patent protection that you mentioned is under review above, and I believe that it will be officially announced soon. It's just that you also know that if you want to completely keep up with the trend of the times, I'm afraid it will take time. ”
"Understand! Steady and orderly progress is the wisest decision. By the way, it's rare for you to come over today, and I'll tell you something directly. Actually, if you don't come, I'm going to call you in two days. ”
"What's the matter!"
"As the liaison officer of the Xiangjiang Office in Beijing, I would like to visit and study in Beijing Film and Central Opera. In the later stage, the company also plans to arrange some artists to come over and go to two colleges to study acting skills in the name of advanced students.
In addition, the company will give the office a certain amount of support funds every year, or sponsorship funds. This money can be used to invest in movies or TV series shot in China, but it is not unconditionally supported. ”
"What are the specific regulations, you can elaborate. As you know, I am currently in charge of this area, and the following units report every day to ask for policies and funds. They all felt that our Qingshui Yamen was like opening a bank. ”
After thinking about it, Xu Zhengdao continued: "If you talk to the college, it is more of an academic exchange. For example, our company can send out some job offers every year, inviting outstanding students from the college to our company for internship or filming.
Even every year, you can sponsor a fund from a professional film and television academy as a tuition fee for receiving trainees. It can be money, or it can be shooting equipment. Specifically, it can be discussed at that time, as long as it is mutually beneficial.
The other is support funds, such as Dream of Red Mansions, which is currently preparing for filming, and it is said that it is more difficult to raise funds by itself. If our company can contribute a part, but we want the Xiangjiang copyright of this TV series, and there is also an agent for overseas copyright.
This means that we will pay for this TV series first, and then get the copyright to broadcast it on Xiangjiang TV in the future. Acting as an agent for overseas copyrights, if there are overseas TV stations willing to buy, the copyright fees can be divided into some to you.
This is the strategy I told you before, film and television works can be brought in and can also go out. In doing so, it can also allow more overseas Chinese and even foreigners to learn more about Chinese film and television works and culture. ”
Although the plan to acquire the TV station has not yet been launched, Xu Zhengdao, a classic film and television drama adapted from Dream of Red Mansions, feels that if he buys the copyright in advance and broadcasts it on the TV station in the future, I believe the ratings will not be too low.
For many overseas Chinese, they have heard of the four famous novels. Dream of Red Mansions is one of them. has the opportunity to watch the domestic adaptation and filming of Dream of Red Mansions, I believe many Chinese audiences are still interested. Isn't the ratings guaranteed?
