"…" Dong Mingzhu looked at the magnificent building in front of her and couldn't help but hesitate.
In fact, Dong Mingzhu had been to the Forbidden City before. However, it was more than 10 years ago when she had just gotten married and was on her honeymoon with her husband. At that time, each of them had spent 30 cents to enter the Forbidden City. Now, the entrance fee to the Forbidden City had increased to 5 yuan. Dong Mingzhu could not help but sigh at the change of times.
But this time, Dong Mingzhu didn't come as a tourist, but as a business negotiator. At the same time, they also needed to persuade the Forbidden City to rent the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony for them to hold a press conference. This difficulty made Dong Mingzhu's head explode.
Even so, Dong Mingzhu still chose to come to the Forbidden City for a discussion first. After all, compared to the Great Hall of the People, the Forbidden City felt more likely. After all, the Forbidden City was essentially a museum in the Celestial Empire. Its status was far inferior to the Great Hall of the People.
After taking a few deep breaths, Dong Mingzhu brought her two secretaries to the entrance of the Forbidden City Management Office. When Dong Mingzhu tried to go in, there was a small incident. The two security guards who were guarding there stopped Dong Mingzhu and said that it wasn't a place for tourists to buy tickets. If they wanted to visit the Forbidden City, they could go to the ticket office to buy tickets.
"We're here to discuss business cooperation with the Forbidden City. We've already called in advance!" Dong Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, but she was still prepared to be kicked out by the security guards.
Although Dong Mingzhu did have a phone call with the Forbidden City Management Office when they arrived in the capital yesterday, the Forbidden City Management Office's attitude was very calm. The young lady who answered the phone was even unwilling to talk to Dong Mingzhu several times. In the end, after Dong Mingzhu's constant confirmation, they finally said that Dong Mingzhu could come to the Forbidden City Management Office the next day to talk, then hung up the phone.
This gave Dong Mingzhu a bad premonition.
"Oh! You must be from the Daqian Group! " Unexpectedly, the security guard already knew the identity of Dong Mingzhu and her group, and then took the initiative to take Dong Mingzhu and her group all the way to a big room in the Forbidden City Management Office.
Although this seemed to be a very normal etiquette, the astute East Brightpearl felt that the situation seemed to be a little different.
Dong Mingzhu and her group didn't have to wait for long. A middle-aged man took the initiative to shake hands with Dong Mingzhu and then introduced himself. It turned out that he was the director of the Forbidden City Management Office.
"According to your previous conversation on the phone, the Daqian Group hope to use the Forbidden City's venue to hold a press conference, right?" The Director of the Forbidden City Management Office.
"Yes!" Dong Mingzhu nodded her head.
"Then where do you want to hold the press conference?" The director of the management office asked with a frown.
Palace's of the Forbidden City Management Office's Of the Forbidden City Management Office, Forbidden City of the of of the Forbidden City ''s, "Mingzhu and Boss' of the Forbidden...
The Hall of Supreme Harmony Square was the largest square in the Forbidden City area. It could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. It was more than enough to hold a press conference.
To the Palace Of the Forbidden City '' ''s the the Of the Forbidden City''s, the't be Palace's was of the Forbidden City..
"'t't't Forbidden't" Forbidden City City's...... Didn't you want to hold a press conference inside the palace? "The head of the management office had a surprised expression on his face.
"no, we're not interested in holding a press conference inside the palace!" Dong Mingzhu quickly said, "we know how to protect ancient buildings. If we hold a press conference inside the palace, it will definitely cause damage to the palace. The Daqian Group won't do such a thing."
"Also, the inside of the Forbidden City is actually a little narrow. It's not suitable for us to hold a press conference with thousands of people and one billion TV viewers around the world. Therefore, the Forbidden City Management Office's Of The Forbidden City is more suitable for us!"
"well said!" The Director of the Forbidden City Management Office smiled like a flower. "how much are you willing to pay?"
"we're talking about money now?" Dong Mingzhu was stunned. If they started talking about money, it meant that there was hope!
"the Forbidden City Management Office will determine the price. We don't know!" Dong Mingzhu quickly said.
"I see …" The Director of the Forbidden City Management Office hesitated. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "how about one million RMB?"
"no problem. We completely agree with the price!" The Director of the Forbidden City Management Office thought that the other party would discuss the price with them for a long time. However, Dong Mingzhu answered decisively without hesitation.
"Then it's decided!" The Director of the Forbidden City Management Office looked even more anxious than Dong Mingzhu. He directly agreed. This business negotiation, which Dong Mingzhu had thought was impossible, was successful.
In the next few days, Dong Mingzhu met with the Director of the Forbidden City Museum. Then, she signed a business cooperation agreement with the Director on the spot. There was a clause about the protection of ancient buildings and how the Daqian Group would compensate for any damage. In addition, there were strict restrictions on the equipment used in the press conference to avoid damaging the ancient buildings.
Dong Mingzhu looked at it. Although the restrictions were strict, they wouldn't affect the press conference too much. Therefore, the two parties signed the agreement smoothly. In less than three days, everything was settled.
On the 6th of June, the Forbidden City Museum closed itself for the whole day. The Daqian Group's materials could enter three days in advance. After 8 o 'clock in the morning on the 6th, they could set up the venue in the Forbidden City Management Office's Of The Forbidden City. Finally, the press conference would be held at 6 o' clock in the evening.
Although the conditions were strict, Dong Mingzhu was overjoyed. After signing the agreement, she immediately rushed back to Yu Zhang to report the good news to our Boss Jia.
"I really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly!" Dong Mingzhu looked at our Boss Jia and said with great surprise.
"All of this is within my expectations!" Boss Jia smiled faintly. What he said wasn't an afterthought. In fact, whether it was the Great Hall of the People or the Forbidden City Museum, they were both commercialized in the 90's and the 10's. Especially the Forbidden City, there were all kinds of commercial activities almost every week.
However, you couldn't blame the Forbidden City Museum for being blinded by profit. On the contrary, the Forbidden City Museum needed a lot of maintenance, so it needed a lot of money.
During the Hua Xia in the 90's, many state-owned enterprises were forced to close down, so there was no money for the Forbidden City Museum. Many employees of the Forbidden City Museum were in a state of unpaid wages. Therefore, the Forbidden City Museum could only think of ways to save itself.
In fact, even if it was the Great Hall of the People, as long as you were willing to pay the rent, you could rent it during non-national meetings. Even if it was the Central Hall, it was the same. It was a fact, not a joke.
However, after the 10's, the country became rich and powerful. At the same time, various kinds of media gradually developed. Many things that happened were reported on the Internet. The Forbidden City Museum's commercialization was questioned one after another. Gradually, it stopped all kinds of commercial activities that could destroy the cultural relics. Instead, it turned to the Forbidden City Museum's cultural products. It could be said that it won a good turn and development.
At this time, the Forbidden City Museum was in the most difficult period for funds. The country had already issued a document that allowed each museum to display their own subjective initiative, allowing them to commercialize and generate financial income.
Therefore, the Forbidden City Museum had long wanted to do some commercialization. However, because of the Forbidden City's reputation, many companies didn't dare to have any ideas about it.
This time, the Daqian Group took the initiative to contact the Forbidden City Museum. Everyone in the Forbidden City Museum was very excited and happy, especially when they learned that the Daqian Group was only using the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square and wouldn't harm any cultural relics. They wanted to cooperate with the Forbidden City Museum more than Dong Mingzhu.
The price of one million was not unnegotiable. Even if Dong Mingzhu lowered it to three hundred thousand, the Forbidden City Museum would still agree.
However, one million was nothing to the Daqian Group. There was no need to haggle over it.
On the other hand, when the whole world learned that the press conference would be held in the Forbidden City, just as Boss Jia had requested, the whole world's attention was on this press conference to the extreme!
Next, it was up to the Daqian Group's own performance!
