Help?
Other aspects?
How are they going to help?
At the Party Committee meeting, everyone started discussing.
Dong Xuebing replied confidently. "This is what I am thinking. Everyone is trying to create a celebrity effect now, and I think we can also invite some celebrities over to perform. We can use this cultural festival to hold an Arts Night. This is the most direct and fastest way to attract everyone's attention, and it will also showcase our Jiaolin County's overall strength. If this Arts Night is successful, it will be a great help to our County's Investments."
"Gala?"
"Invite celebrities?"
Everyone felt this is not a good idea.
Wei Zhixuan was the first to object. "That won't do. If we invite some unknown actors and artists, we won't be able to achieve the desired effect. But if we invite some A-listers and A-listers, we won't be able to afford their appearance fees. Furthermore, our County is only a small gala, so even if we paid them, it would be useless. It's not that I'm lowering our County's status, but it's the truth." Wei Zhixuan was right. When it came to B-list or C-list celebrities, many people no longer cared about money. What they cared about was their reputation. If they were to perform in a small gala in a county that no one knew about, they would be lowering their status. In Beijing, this was called lowering their status, and it would affect their popularity. Therefore, celebrities who were slightly more famous would rarely accept this kind of performance. If there were many people inviting them, why would they lower their status to come to Jiaolin County? Furthermore, Wei Zhixuan is right. Even if they can come, their County can't afford to pay them. One person is worth at least a few million RMB, and they must invite more than one person. How much will all these cost? The taxes from the County's investments might not even be enough! Jiaolin County's Cultural Gala is running out of money! They might as well not attract any Cultural Gala!
Xu Zhuang added. "The proposal says the budget for this Cultural Gala is only 2 million RMB. You can't even invite a B-lister? " The value of celebrities these days was very high. This was also directly affected by inflation. Two million yuan was really not enough to make a B-list celebrity travel so far. Otherwise, many counties would have done this a long time ago. Why were the provinces able to invite so many celebrities to attend the Spring Festival Gala and Festival Gala, while the lower-ranked counties and cities did not dare to do this? In the end, it's about money.
But two million was already the largest financial advance they could spare.
Jiaolin County cannot make ends meet because of the new County Party Committee Compound and the renovation of the old compound, and their finances have been drained.
What can they do with 2 million RMB?
Let alone a Cultural Gala.
Even an ordinary investment fair will last for at most four to five days.
But from Dong Xuebing's expression, Dong Xuebing seems to have a plan in mind.
"2 million should be around. I can't guarantee it will exceed the budget, but it will not exceed by too much. I know all of you are talking about objective factors, and I will only hold this event for two days to save on the budget. Mayor Dongfang and the County Government will be busy these few days, so hurry up and contact the investors. Also, ask the Investment Promotion Agency to work overtime to complete the project. The event will be held early next month, and time is tight. But all of you had done a good job in the past, and you all have connections. This shouldn't be a problem."
Xuebing to invite. "Next month? Time … "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Contacting the investors, coming up with the projects, and setting up the venue will not take too much time." Dong Xuebing had been in this industry in the past and is more experienced than most of them. The fastest investment fair Dong Xuebing organized was within a week, and he is not bragging. "As for the Cultural Festival, I will be in charge of getting celebrities and performing arts groups."
Wei Zhixuan paused for a second. "But money …"
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "Don't worry about money. We don't need to spend money, and we just need to provide food and lodging."
Don't need to spend money?
Why don't we use money?
Everyone does not understand what Dong Xuebing meant. To them, if Dong Xuebing were to do what Dong Xuebing said, it would cost more than 10 million RMB to hire those celebrities and art groups. If the celebrities were slightly better, it would cost at least 10 million RMB. But Dong Xuebing said he does not need a single cent? If that was the case, then all the problems would be solved. Everyone would raise their hands in favor of this plan. To put it bluntly, money was the biggest problem in their county.
But … how can Dong Xuebing invite so many people without spending a single cent?
They are not some charity organization. Oh, why would they lower themselves to come all the way to Jiaolin County to perform for free?! Are they trying to be Lei Feng?!
"Secretary Xuebing." Zhang Dongfang also doesn't believe Dong Xuebing.
"Let's settle on this first." Dong Xuebing did not explain. "Everyone will be in charge of their own areas and prepare for the Investment Fair next month. I will be in charge of contacting the people for the Cultural Festival. Don't worry about this. Let's settle on this first. If there are any changes, we will discuss it further. Ok? "
It's settled.
No one objected to Dong Xuebing's proposal.
Dong Xuebing had said he will be in charge of the Cultural Festival, and they don't have any reason to object. But everyone is still wondering how Dong Xuebing is going to trick Dong Xuebing into coming here. Is this really going to work?
"Alright. Everyone, go ahead and inform everyone to prepare for the Investment Fair in the next two weeks." Dong Xuebing said.
The meeting ended.
Everyone went back to work on the investment fair.
Dong Xuebing returned to his temporary office and closed his eyes. Inviting celebrities and performing arts groups is an important step in Dong Xuebing's plan. Actually, he doesn't know if it will work and if he can invite them without spending money. But he guessed it will work. Dong Xuebing had built up a lot of connections during his years in the government, and he has the help of his family. That's why he felt this Cultural Festival is worth it. Since it's decided, Dong Xuebing no longer hesitated. You want to get credit without doing anything? How can it be so easy?!
Dong Xuebing decided to go and beg for help.
