As the saying goes, 'There are people in the court who are easy to do things'. For Xu Zhengdao, who returned to the capital this time, although he asked his sister-in-law for help, he could prepare to set up an office as soon as possible. But he felt that there were some things that needed to be avoided, and besides, his surname was Lin now.

When I learned that Xu Zhengdao was planning to find a courtyard house as the office space for the Beijing office, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was very resolute and sent someone to recommend Xu Zhengdao a courtyard house that met his requirements. This enthusiasm and attitude are evident.

After some screening, Xu Zhengdao finally chose a well-preserved four-in-one courtyard house. In the words of consultant Qian Chuanlin, this courtyard house was used by senior imperial officials in the early years, so the workmanship and location are self-evident.

After finalizing the office location, Xu Zhengdao also discussed the price of the courtyard house with the accompanying clerk. When he heard the clerk, he said cautiously: "Mr. Lin, we only accept foreign exchange. I wonder if you have any questions."

"Of course that's no problem! I also know that this kind of courtyard house is very rare. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to buy such a good courtyard house. There is no problem in paying for foreign exchange, and I can set the price according to your exchange rate."

"Previously, our leader said that if Mr. Lin really likes this courtyard house, he only needs to pay US$80,000."

"How much? (How much?)"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Chuanlin, who was accompanying him to see the house, couldn't help but widen his eyes. In Qian Chuanlin's opinion, this four-in-one courtyard house is indeed good, but $80,000 is undoubtedly a sky-high price. So when he heard the quotation, he

I couldn't help but be surprised.

He seemed to think that the price was too high, and the clerk hurriedly said: "If Mr. Lin thinks it is expensive, we can negotiate again."

As a result, what surprised Qian Chuanlin and the clerk was that Xu Zhengdao said directly: "Eighty thousand US dollars is indeed a bit expensive according to the current market price. But this kind of courtyard house is undoubtedly very scarce at the moment. Selling one

One less building.

I agree with the price, but I need your help to set up a phone line, preferably a long-distance phone line that can directly communicate with Xiangjiang. In addition, I will hire someone to renovate the yard. This should be no problem, right?"

"No! I will report to the leader about installing the phone. I believe it will be installed soon."

"Okay, let's go through the formalities!"

Originally, according to Xu Zhengdao's intention, he was actually willing to pay the price of this courtyard house within 100,000 U.S. dollars. 80,000 U.S. dollars, although it was a bit expensive. The problem is, if it doesn't matter, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this kind of house.

Siheyuan.

Seeing that Xu Zhengdao agreed to the quotation, but offered to install a long-distance phone for free, the bridge office naturally would not refuse. Within two days, the phone line was connected, and a specially customized sign was hung at the entrance of the courtyard.

As an office clerk, He Xiaowu finally had a formal job and identity. He even started learning to drive at Xu Zhengdao's request. In the future, the office will definitely be equipped with one or two cars.

Qian Chuanlin's disciples and grandsons were quickly called together to start decorating Xu Zhengdao's four-in-one courtyard. Compared with the previously renovated courtyards, this courtyard was considered a high-walled courtyard that ordinary people could not live in at all.

Because it would take some time to renovate the office, Xu Zhengdao, who still lived in the Shichahai courtyard, soon saw his sister-in-law who came to the door in the evening. Seeing that he was not surprised at all, his sister-in-law also smiled and said: "You knew I would come.

?"

"I guess it should be about the same. My dealings with the bridge office will definitely be reported. Come in quickly!"

After bringing Xu Hongying into his home, Xu Zhengdao also began to ask the bridge office, or the cultural department, for their reaction to his establishment of an office. The result was obvious. The higher-ups seemed to take this matter very seriously.

Don't look at it now. Xu Zhengdao only spent 80,000 US dollars to buy an office space for the office. But the Bridge Office and the leaders above know that with this office, there will be more opportunities to deal with Shinhwa Group in the future.

Much.

And Xu Hongying even smiled and joked: "Nowadays, people in the circle say that there is a foolish owner with a lot of money in Xiangjiang, who spent 80,000 US dollars to buy a shabby yard. Are you surprised to hear this comment?"

"It's better to be silly. Being too smart may not be a good thing sometimes. Sister-in-law, how is your work lately?"

"What else can I do? There are so many documents to read and signs to sign every day. It gives me a headache!"

"Then what do those things I told you before mean?"

"There's still discussion! Do you think this kind of thing can be discussed in a while? It won't take two or three years, and I'm afraid the discussion won't produce results. However, regarding the movie theater problem you mentioned, the higher-ups have sent people to start an investigation.

.

In addition, the cultural copyright and patent protection you mentioned are under review above and I believe they will be officially announced soon. But you also know that it may take time to fully keep up with the trend of the times."

"I understand! Making steady and orderly progress is the wisest decision. By the way, it's rare that you come here today, so I'll tell you something directly. In fact, if you don't come, I plan to call you in two days.

."

"What's the matter!"

"As the liaison officer of Xiangjiang Office in Beijing, I want to visit and study at Beijing Film Academy and Yangzhou Opera Company. In the later stage, the company also plans to arrange for some artists to come over and study acting skills in the two academies as trainees.

Also, the company will give the office a certain amount of support funds, or sponsorship funds, every year. This money can be used to invest in domestically shot movies or TV series, but it is not unconditional support."

"Please explain in detail what the regulations are. You also know that I am currently in charge of this area. The units below are making reports every day and asking for policies and funds. They all feel that our Qingshui Yamen is like running a bank."<

/p>

After thinking about it, Xu Zhengdao continued: "If it is with the college, it will be more of an academic exchange. For example, our company can send out some job invitations every year and invite outstanding students from the college to intern or participate in filming in our company.

You can even sponsor a professional film and television academy with a sum of money every year as tuition for accepting advanced students. It can be money, or it can be shooting equipment. The specifics can be discussed at that time, as long as they are mutually beneficial.

The other is to support funds. For example, Dream of Red Mansions is currently being prepared for filming. It is said that it is difficult to raise funds by itself. If our company can contribute part of the capital, we will need the Hong Kong copyright of the TV series and the overseas copyright agency.

This means that we will pay for the TV series first, and in the future we will get the rights to be broadcast by Xiangjiang TV stations. We will act as agents for the overseas rights. If any overseas TV stations are willing to buy it, we can share some of the copyright fees with you.

This is the strategy I told you before, that film and television works can be brought in or exported. In this way, more overseas Chinese and even foreigners can learn more about Chinese film and television works and culture."

Although the plan to acquire a TV station has not yet been launched, Xu Zhengdao feels that if he buys the copyright of this classic film and television drama adapted from Dream of Red Mansions in advance and gets it to be broadcast by a TV station in the future, he believes that the ratings will not be too low.

For many overseas Chinese, they have heard of the Four Great Classics. Dream of Red Mansions is one of them. If there is a chance to watch the domestic adaptation of Dream of Red Mansions, I believe many Chinese audiences will still be interested. Then the ratings are guaranteed.
