Chapter 269: Parting on bad terms, starting to build momentum
"Director Wang, I have a question."
In the magnificent hotel box, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Hao also finished talking about his plan for [Galaxy Silver City].
Wang Jianlin finally expressed his thoughts on this.
"Why must you build your [Galaxy Silver City] around Shangjing?
If you can move to another place, maybe your project can get more support from the local area. "
"Change the location?" Wang Hao's mind moved, and he looked at Wang Jianlin, "Then Mr. Wang, where do you think I should put this project?"
"How is Jiangcheng?"
Wang Hao was very surprised by the suggestion given by Wang Jianlin. He thought the other party would say Qingdao, but he didn't expect it to be Jiangcheng.
But on second thought, he understood.
At this time, Wanda Group had just begun to try to get involved in large-scale cultural and tourism city projects. In September of this year, Wanda contacted the BS Municipal Government and tried to cooperate in the development of the Changbai Mountain International Tourism Resort project.
The project is located in Songhe Town, Fusong County, 15 kilometers away from Changbaishan Airport and 20 kilometers away from Changbaishan Tianchi.
The project is centered on local natural resources and consists of four parts: forest golf, a large ski resort, a resort hotel area and a hot spring town. It is also equipped with Fusong County Administrative Center and Conference Center, Wanda Plaza, schools, hospitals and other living facilities.
With a total investment of 230 billion yuan and an area of about 30 square kilometers, it is the largest single tourism project in China today.
It was also from this project that Wanda Group tasted the benefits of cooperation from local governments and decided to enter the cultural tourism industry on a large scale.
According to the development trajectory of Wanda Group in its previous life, what they will participate in the operation and development next is the Jiangcheng Chuhe Hanjie project, which made Wanda Group famous and is known as the "benchmark of cultural tourism."
It’s just that Wang Hao was from Hubei Province in his previous life, and he had also stayed in Jiangcheng for a period of time.
Although it was his hometown in his previous life, he still shook his head when he thought of Jiangcheng's business conditions and the resources and potential of the local film and television industry.
"Jiangcheng is not a good place to develop the film and television industry. Other places are also not good enough."
Wang Hao looked at Wang Jianlin and patiently persuaded him:
"I can guess what you think about this project, Mr. Wang. The real estate business does have great potential in the future.
But my real wish is to develop our own Chinese film industry and establish our own film industrialization system.
For me, the most important part of the [Galaxy Silver City] project is the film and television production base. This is the top priority and we cannot put the cart before the horse.
If you want to set up a film and television production base and develop it in the long run, the first thing you need is enough film and television resources and talents to support it.
In this regard, only Shangjing and Modu meet the requirements in the whole of China.
The former has two professional film and television schools, Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, while the latter has the Shanghai Drama Academy to rely on.
In addition, there are only a few film and television circles in China: Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, Northwest circle and Hong Kong circle. With these two combined, Beijing becomes the best location for project site selection.
Besides, I am from Beijing and my company is also here. Of course, I still hope to develop in Beijing in the future. Maybe this is also a little selfish of mine. "
"If you are considered selfish, then everyone else is selfish."
Wang Jianlin looked at the young man in front of him, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“But if you must settle down in Beijing, the project may not be that easy to get.
Not to mention that the cost of acquiring land here is higher. You just mentioned this project. I'm afraid it will require a lot of supporting facilities and venues. Where can you find such a large piece of land in Shangjing?
The Olympics were just over and the surrounding land has been sold out. If you really want to build your project, you either have to go someplace farther away from Beijing, or you can only compete with Universal Studios.”
It can be seen that before coming here, this person actually read some relevant information based on Lu Zheng's statement and learned some specific circumstances.
This actually made Wang Hao feel more relieved, because the more Wang Jianlin attached importance to this matter, the more determined Wanda was to participate in [Galaxy Silver City].
The only question now is, who will take the lead in this project?
What Wang Hao said just now was implicitly saying that he would not let go and that he would take control of the [Galaxy Silver City] project.
Wang Jianlin, the old fox, did not object, but only raised questions and exerted pressure.
To put it bluntly, his meaning is very clear. Wanda wants to participate in this project, and it is no problem to give you the leading position, but you also have to demonstrate your strength, whether this strength is financial or official, you have to prove that you can handle these things, and then I can follow you to do things.
Otherwise, if you don't have the ability and want to get something for nothing by relying on my influence, then I'm sorry, you'd better give up the initiative.
"What? Wanda is afraid of Universal Studios and dares not compete with it?" Wang Hao looked at Wang Jianlin with a smile and asked teasingly.
Wang Jianlin waved his hand and said, "Young man, don't provoke me. It's useless. I was a soldier before, and the word 'fear' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
"That's it. Since you, Mr. Wang, are not afraid, I am not afraid either. Then this matter can be done." Wang Hao clapped his hands and laughed, but Wang Jianlin showed a hint of displeasure on his face.
Because Wang Hao never answered his questions directly from beginning to end, which means he did not demonstrate the strength of Galaxy Pictures. This guy is too cunning.
"You, you are so dishonest at such a young age."
Wang Jianlin pointed at Wang Hao and decided to be more direct.
"So how much money is your company going to invest in this [Galaxy Film City]? How are you going to allocate the shares of the project? Who will be in charge of the management of the relevant projects at that time?"
However, Wang Hao still did not directly answer his question. Instead, he asked him, "Then how much is Wanda going to invest?"
Wang Hao had dug a hole here, directly assuming that Wanda was willing to participate in this project, and directly asked the other party to start making quotations.
Lao Wang glanced at him, noticed his language trap, but didn't care and stretched out two fingers.
"200 billion. If this project is operated by us, Wanda is willing to invest 200 billion and work with your Galaxy Group, Director Wang, to build this Oriental 'Hollywood'!"
Wang Jianlin's words shocked Lu Zheng and Jing Tian who were present at the scene.
200 billion, what does this mean?
Although both of them have some assets, compared with the figure of 200 billion, it is just a drop in the bucket.
However, Wang Hao remained unmoved and didn't even blink.
He knew in his heart that it was only 200 billion, so he could only listen to it.
Wang Jianlin, this old fox, is very cunning. He thought that Wang Hao didn't understand the twists and turns in engineering projects.
It is said that the amount is 200 billion, and it would be good if Wanda could invest 20 billion in the early stage. If Bandai really operated this project, with a bank loan to buy the land, plus the construction party's advance payment and real estate pre-sales, I really don't know what this project would look like.
So Wang Hao shook his head and said, "We will not give up the leadership of the project. After all, this is my dream, and it must be in accordance with the overall industrial concept of our Galaxy Film and Television. There is no doubt about this."
"Then there's nothing to discuss. Wanda has its own considerations. It's not that they must have this project."
Wang Jianlin spoke very bluntly, and the atmosphere in the box became dull for a moment.
Fortunately, there is Lu Zheng as the middleman.
"Well, even if the deal fails, there is still friendship. We are all friends and successful people in Shangjing. Even if there are still differences in this matter, there will be other opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Out of Lu Zheng's consideration, Wang Hao and Wang Jianlin did not say anything else during the rest of the banquet and they went their separate ways after the meal.
After they all left, Jing Tian got in the car and asked Lu Zheng with some confusion:
"Uncle Lu, did they just break down the 200 billion project so hastily?"
"Don't you think they don't act like big bosses at all?"
Lu Zheng started the car with a smile, and Jing Tian nodded in agreement.
"It just feels too trifling. What can't be discussed? No one can get things done in one go."
"You also said we can talk about it, how could they not know that?"
The car drove out of the hotel and headed towards Jing Tian's home. At the same time, Lu Zheng knew that she didn't understand the twists and turns involved, so he explained:
“You only saw that their talks broke down, but in fact, for people at this level, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. The so-called falling out is actually just a negotiation tactic.
This is just a test between the two sides to see who can't bear the pressure first."
"Ah, is that so?" Jing Tian was a little surprised. "Then Uncle Lu, who do you think will win in the end?"
"What's the win or no win in this?"
Lu Zheng shook his head to show that he didn't care.
"It's just a partnership to do a project. It's just a matter of how much you make, not how much you win or lose."
“But if you ask me, Wang Hao is probably more advantageous. After all, I have worked with him several times.
This guy has a resolute and courageous character, and he has great vision and a big picture. He is not an ordinary person.
In comparison, although Mr. Wang is more wealthy and has been in the business world for many years, he is a businessman after all. He is more cautious and considers the gains and losses more. He will not get angry with young people. "
Jing Tian didn't know how much of Lu Zheng's words she took into consideration.
On the other side, Wang Hao also had no idea how Lu Zheng viewed him behind his back.
But none of this matters. Today's meeting with Wang Jianlin only adds another option to his "Galaxy Movie Metropolis" plan.
Lu Zheng is right. Even if Wang Jianlin and Wanda do not plan to participate in this project, he will still push it forward.
The only difference may be that the project will be smaller and develop more slowly.
Moreover, this is only the worst case scenario. Wanda is no longer the leading company in the domestic construction industry. It is possible that as this project is pushed forward, someone else will take the initiative to offer it.
In the next few days, Wang Hao went to see Han Sanping again about the "Galaxy Movie City" matter, visited the two Wang brothers, and then went to CCTV Channel 6 to find his uncle, a big leader in the system, and asked him to help with the discussion in case there was anything he didn't understand that might have touched a nerve with the higher-ups.
Although Lu Guotao is only the leader of a TV station, he has been in Beijing for many years and is in the propaganda department. He is more informed and has a wider network of contacts.
Moreover, projects such as large-scale film and television production bases can be more or less related to movie channels.
With the help of news channels to release news about "Oriental Hollywood" and Sony Pictures, there is no need to worry about no one taking the bait.
Sure enough, with Wang Hao's various connected operations, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and soon the news about [Galaxy Film City] reached the ears of many interested people.
In today's era, attracting investment is still a fashionable term, and for many local officials, it is also a rare political achievement.
So those related companies have not made any moves yet, but the government departments were the first to come to us.
The first person who took the initiative to visit him was the district leader of Shangjing HR District.
Because Galaxy Pictures had often used the film and television base in the HR area for filming before, and many of the people signed by Xingdou Culture made their living in the HR area, the leaders of this district were very familiar with Galaxy Pictures.
As for the other party's purpose of coming, it is very simple. Of course, they came for the matter of [Xinghe Film City].
After all, the core area of the film and television production industry in Shangjing City is the HR district. If the film and television production industrial park project led by Wang Hao, a well-known domestic commercial director, is placed in other places in Shangjing City and the relevant resources are diverted, wouldn't that be cutting their flesh?
However, although the leaders of the HR area were concerned about it, Wang Hao was opposed to the establishment of Galaxy Film City in Huairou.
In his opinion, the HR District is too far away from the core urban area of Shangjing, with inconvenient transportation. Secondly, there are many mountains and little flat land in the area, so there is a lack of development space.
Although there are many film and television bases in this place nowadays, the film and television industry has not developed even after more than ten years.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Hao to directly slap the district leaders from the HR district who came to his door, so he could only communicate with them patiently and calm them down with words.
After the HR district leaders arrived, the people who followed closely behind were not the district government leaders of Shangjing City, but guests from the neighboring LF City.
As a prefecture-level city adjacent to Beijing, Langfang is taking over some resources from the capital while also considering development.
But Wang Hao doesn’t even look down on the HR area, so how can he look down on Langfang?
You know, he wanted to move the company headquarters there after Galaxy Film City was completed.
If we place the project there, will we have to tell others that we are a Langfang enterprise?
So Wang Hao sent away the leaders of LF city in the same way he dealt with the leaders of HR district.
Afterwards, Xu Peng, the vice president of Moying Group who was far away in Shanghai, called him.
