Chapter 49 Introducing TV Dramas to the Mainland

After walking down the day, Zhang Shaoping had a more direct impression of the current Suicheng.

Suicheng and Yangcheng are both nicknames for Guangzhou and are the self-proclaimed by locals.

If Shenzhen Stock Exchange is the forefront of China's reform and opening up, then Guangzhou City is the command center of reform and opening up. The good and bad, deep and broad reform of Shenzhen Stock Exchange must be summarized and evaluated by the provincial government of Guangzhou City, and reported the summarized experiences and difficulties encountered to the central government one by one, providing a factual basis for crucial decisions.

In a nutshell, the whole country looks at Guangdong Province and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Therefore, what is good in Shenzhen has now begun to be in full swing in Guangdong Province, especially the provincial capital Suicheng.

When they returned to the guesthouse, everyone started to move, and Zhang Shaoping immediately called Chen Guanzhong and Pan Ming and plunged into the room together to discuss investment matters.

"I believe you have a clear idea in your heart when you walk all day today. Let's hear what you think of our trip to Guangzhou." As soon as she sat down, Zhang Shaoping got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

Chen Guanzhong and Pan Ming looked at each other. Pan Ming nodded slightly, and Chen Guanzhong pondered: "Let me talk first. Among the people brought by Mr. Huo, one of them was my old friend. On the ship when he came, I met and chatted with him for a while. He is now the general manager of the China Hotel in Guangzhou. With the full authorization of the board of directors, he came to sign a contract with the city government. When I met him again today, I specifically asked him what the origin of this China Hotel was. He read the names of several members of the board of directors, which immediately scared me."

"It is actually New World Development, Cheung Kong Industrial, Henderson Land, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hoh Hong Kong Industrial and Sun Hung Kai Securities!" Chen Guanzhong suddenly raised his voice and said these famous group companies in Hong Kong in one breath.

Although Zhang Shaoping was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the series of names.

Pan Ming took a deep breath, shook off his shock, took the conversation and said, "The locations I have been walking around today are all good, and they are quite suitable for investing in hotels and hotels. If I read correctly, it should be more than just the Chinese hotel mentioned by Brother Chen to sign a contract for construction, and other hotels or hotel projects will be launched one after another. Moreover, I bet that bet that except for us, everyone else may have signed letters of intent with the Guangdong Provincial Government, and this time it was purely for signing the contract."

"What you said is very likely. It seems that I am going to drive the duck to the shelves." Zhang Shaoping stood up and paced back and forth. "At least, we have to sign some letters of intent with the Guangdong Province and the others. Otherwise, if everyone signs a contract to invest, we will be too different."

"What is Zhang Sheng planning to invest in? Should he also invest in the hotel industry?" Chen Guanzhong asked.

"No! Hurry investment is very unwise!" Pan Ming made his attitude clear.

Zhang Shaoping also shook his head and said, "Modern hotels require at least hundreds of millions of investments. For example, like White Swan Hotel, it costs more than 200 million. This is too expensive and has great risks. With my strength, it is difficult to bear sole proprietorship. The best path was to join forces with multiple group companies to invest together like the Chinese hotel. But in a short period of time, I couldn't find a suitable partner, so investing in the hotel industry is the first priority."

"Let's do this, we're all thinking about what projects we can invest in now and what is worth investing in."

When Zhang Shaoping saw it, he couldn't think of a solution, so he said something and sat down again. He felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teapot and wanted to pour a glass of water. He found that it was empty, so he got up again, brought a plastic thermos, and wanted to fill the kettle.

He fell down and disappeared, and couldn't help but frown and said, "This guesthouse is poor and the TV show is nothing, mainly because it's too inconvenient to drink water. I really don't understand that Brother Huo and the others are not staying in the hotel in the fine White Swan, but they stay in the guesthouse in Guangdong Province, which is so reserved to death."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Chen Guanzhong felt lit up when he heard Zhang Shaoping's words. He raised his head, looked at the other two, and said, "I think I know what we should do."

"Hmm? How do you say this?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, please explain it clearly."

Chen Guanzhong said: "The reform and opening up in the mainland is first reform and the second is opening up. In fact, it is to promote internal reform through opening up to the outside world. They have been closed for decades. The most important thing at this stage is to contact external information and change the people's backward concept. Also, it is to relax control and increase the outside world's understanding of the mainland."

"You want to be more specific." Zhang Shaoping frowned and said.

"Let me say this. Modern hotels and hotels will have an impact on the conservative concepts of the mainland, but will not completely destroy their worldview at once, but will be a subtle change. The most important thing is that these advanced social concepts are urgently needed by mainlanders who are ready to build economically."

Chen Guanzhong picked up the cup, took a sip of the tea that Zhang Shaoping poured for him, and then said: "Like the Huo Family, Changjiang Industrial, Henderson Land, etc., they are all consortium giants, and they have an advantage that outsiders cannot match in real estate and infrastructure. They were originally involved in catering investment in Hong Kong, and they are naturally familiar with investing in hotels and hotels. The mainland is in urgent need of this. Of course, the two hit it off and support each other. But what we are most capable of is not catering. In terms of my vision, film and television advertising media is the best choice."

"Continue to talk!" Zhang Shaoping looked at Chen Guanzhong with praise.

"Zhang Sheng, our two magazines, "Movie Age" and "Television Age", can serve as a bridge to deepen the understanding between Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the outside world and the mainland. Without touching the high-voltage lines and bottom lines of the mainland, we can bring useful information from the outside into the mainland and bring the progress and achievements of the mainland since the reform and opening up to the world. In this way, we can not only expand the influence of our Dingsheng Culture Company and deepen the land of the motherland, but also act as the mouthpiece of the mainland to a certain extent and publicize their policies and achievements. If we do this, our relationship with the mainland will be greatly deepened. Wouldn't it be better to build a hotel?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted: "Okay! That's great! To me, your words are simply Zhuge Liang's long-term match!"

Hearing Zhang Shaoping's praise, Chen Guanzhong was so excited that he suddenly turned red, but he tried his best to restrain himself and said modestly: "Zhang Sheng said this too much! How could Chen He De dare to compete with Zhuge Wuhou? He should not be praised like this!"

"Good it! Definitely!"

Pan Ming also sighed: "Listen to you is better than reading for ten years! Brother Chen, I am convinced by you."

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "Although the two magazines of "Movie Age" and "Television Age" are going to enter the mainland, we can also do it. That is, we can also introduce Hong Kong and Macao movies and TV series to the mainland for screenings, and mainland movies and TV series, which are better, we should also introduce Hong Kong. Not only that, after we have a closer relationship with the mainland, through our bridges and links, our entertainers can communicate with each other and strengthen the expansion of the Chinese film and television culture industry."

"There is no exception for film and television dramas to be introduced to the mainland. Will the mainland allow it?" Chen Guanzhong asked a question.

"It will definitely be! Their TV series are relatively poor, so they have introduced many foreign dramas. Our Hong Kong TV series is no worse than foreign dramas, and like "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", it is full of patriotism and national solar terms, which is exactly what they need." Zhang Shaoping said confidently.

In Zhang Shaoping's memory, in March next year, "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" was the first Hong Kong drama introduced by the mainland, and was the first to be broadcast on the Cantonese Channel of the GD Channel in Guangdong Province. Zhang Shaoping doesn't remember exactly which date it was, but when "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" was played, it caused a huge response. Subsequently, a series of excellent Hong Kong dramas began to be introduced, such as "SH Beach", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc., which affected several generations of the mainland.

As the forefront of reform and opening up, Guangdong Province has a unique authority, which is to introduce foreign dramas. Zhang Shaoping is going to go for this authority. As long as he negotiates the price with GD and obtains the authorization to introduce dramas, Zhang Shaoping will immediately have a great say in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. At least neither TVB nor ATV can ignore him.

With the investment project in place, Zhang Shaoping suddenly felt much more relaxed and began to consider how to convince the collective leaders of Guangdong Province. In fact, Zhang Shaoping was quite sure of convincing enlightened reformists such as Ren and Liu to introduce Hong Kong dramas. Since they made the decision to allow the historical trajectory of their previous life, they should not object now. The only concern is whether these people will approve the cooperation plan between GD and him.

Zhang Shaoping said his doubts, Chen Guanzhong thought for a while and said, "Zhang Sheng was too worried. With our sign of cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, plus the benefits we just mentioned, the central high-level officials in the mainland, as long as their brains are not kicked by donkeys, there is no reason to refuse."

Pan Ming smiled and said, "If you think it's not safe, we can tie other investments."

"Oh, do you have any good plans?" Zhang Shaoping looked at Pan Ming expectantly.

Pan Ming said: "If you can't open a hotel, we will open a tea restaurant. Just like everyone's fun and great happiness, like Meixin's chain store in Hong Kong, let's copy it and open a chain store in the mainland. After all, not everyone has the ability to enter and consume hotels, but tea restaurants are different, and they are aimed at ordinary people. The essence of chain stores such as unified trademarks, unified service quality, unified purchase, unified management, and unified standards and specifications. I think these are also urgently needed to learn from the mainland!"

"Hahaha......, you woke up the dreamer! I've read the newspapers, and it seems that after they went out for inspection, they came back to promote chains in all walks of life, but they didn't succeed. They suffered a lot. Since that's the case, we might as well open a tea restaurant and hand it over to them to chains." Zhang Shaoping smiled, "Well, in addition to tea restaurants, we also have to do Western fast food styles like KFC and McDonald's. It's just a combination of two sides, making tea restaurants and Western fast food at the same time. This is different from other places and has more mainland characteristics."

Thinking of Western fast food, Zhang Shaoping suddenly thought of the famous Jianlibao drink before the turn of the century. Oh my god, you KFC and McDonald's have such a drink as Coke, and my chain restaurant must also be supported by Jianlibao.

The three of them worked together, each offering their own strategies and improving these two major investment plans. From the beginning, Zhang Shaoping's business focus was completely on the mainland. In his words, only by managing the mainland's market well can he operate in a sustainable way.
