Chen Xing arrived at the hotel in Jiang City at around six o 'clock. The hotel staff had been informed in advance and had prepared a banquet. As for the private room, it was the No. 2 private room that Chen Xing usually used. The decoration was very exquisite, solemn and elegant.
Chen Xing waited for a while and Yan Shaorong also arrived. Chen Xing went to the door to welcome him in person. Yan Shaorong, who had just gone upstairs, saw Chen Xing and quickly walked up to him. Oh, how could I let Mayor Chen wait for me?
Director Yan, you are too polite. Chen Xing smiled and shook hands with Yan Shaorong. They walked into the private room together.
Yu Zhiyuan, who came with Chen Xing to the banquet, was surprised to see Chen Xing's enthusiasm towards Yan Shaorong. In fact, people who were not familiar with Huaxia Culture Industry Fund would think it was just an ordinary cultural company. However, people who were familiar with the situation knew that Huaxia Culture Industry Fund was an industry giant that focused on investing in the cultural industry. It had tens of billions of cash flow. It had invested in famous companies such as Milky Way Culture, Starry Sky Group, and Baiwei Internet. In the entire cultural industry, Huaxia Culture Industry Fund played an important role.
A company like Huaxia Culture Industry Fund, which had tens of billions of cash flow, was totally different from those companies that were valued at tens of billions but had less than one billion cash flow.
Chen Xing and Yan Shaorong exchanged greetings warmly and invited Yan Shaorong to take a seat. Seeing that the distinguished guest of the mayor had arrived, the hotel staff began to serve the dishes.
Director Yan, how do you feel after visiting Jiang City for the past two days? Chen Xing asked casually with a smile.
Very good. I think the Film and Television Culture City in cooperation with Huaxia Film and Television Company in Xiaoyi Mountain Scenic Area will have a bright future. Yan Shaorong smiled. Besides, Jiang City has been focusing on cultivating the cultural industry. Together with the Film and Television City in Xiaoyi Mountain Scenic Area, the film and television culture industry will have a bright future. As long as the Film and Television Culture City in Xiaoyi Mountain can become famous, a complete industrial chain including post-production, distribution, and projection of films can be formed. The income from consumption, leisure, and tourism brought by the Film and Television City can also boost the development of the local economy.
As Yan Shaorong spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Chen Xing. It seemed that Mayor Chen had made long-term considerations when he chose to cooperate with Cathay Entertainment.
Director Yan is indeed a businessman. I can't hide anything from you. Chen Xing smiled. He did not deny or say anything. If it wasn't for the fact that they had gotten China Film Company, the industry leader, to cooperate with them, the city wouldn't have dared to invest so much money into the large-scale Film and Television Cultural City in Xiaoyi Mountain Scenic Area.
Hehe, Mayor Chen, don't flatter me. In my circle of friends, people say that I'm not a qualified businessman and that I'm easily influenced by my emotions. Yan Shaorong smiled.
Hearing Yan Shaorong's words, Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. Yan Shaorong was in charge of a large industrial fund with a cash flow of tens of billions, and he had strong financing capabilities. Chen Xing would never believe Yan Shaorong's words.
Director Yan has been walking around Rivertown for two days. How about it? Are you interested in investing in Rivertown? Asked Chen Xing with a smile.
Sigh, I'm in the middle of a negotiation with your provincial SARFT. I don't have the energy to consider anything else. When the negotiation with your provincial SARFT comes to an end, I'll consider it seriously. Yan Shaorong sighed. He did not reject or agree directly. What he said was the truth. Although he was inspecting Jiangcheng for the past two days, his mind was more focused on the negotiations. Both sides were in a deadlock now, and it all depended on who could take a step back first. He chose to inspect Jiangcheng for the past two days because he wanted to leave the people from the provincial SARFT to the side. This was actually a strategy of advancing by retreating.
It seemed that the negotiation wasn't going well. Chen Xing furrowed his brows. He was not completely clueless about this matter. He roughly knew that the two parties could not reach an agreement on the price. However, he did not know the exact price. After all, before the negotiation was over, it was a trade secret.
It wasn't going well. The management of your provincial SARFT really dared to ask for an exorbitant price. It was as if they had the upper hand. Yan Shaorong smiled.
It seemed that they offered a high price? Chen Xing asked tentatively.
Two billion! Yan Shaorong put up two fingers. In front of Chen Xing, he didn't hide anything. To Yan Shaorong, there was nothing to hide. Firstly, Chen Xing wasn't their business competitor. Secondly, as a mayor, Chen Xing wouldn't gossip with others.
Yan Shaorong said it casually, but Chen Xing was shocked. 10% of the shares, 2 billion?
Wasn't that right? Yan Shaorong shook his head. How was it? Did you also think that the provincial SARFT dared to ask for an exorbitant price?
Hearing Yan Shaorong's words, Chen Xing just shook his head and smiled. He naturally couldn't agree with him. Even though he wasn't from the provincial SARFT, he was still on their side. Because they represented the government, Chen Xing couldn't agree with Yan Shaorong's teasing, even though he felt that the provincial SARFT was asking for too much.
It seemed that there was still room for negotiation. Chen Xing smiled.
Yes, there was still room for negotiation. The tough battle was still ahead. Yan Shaorong smiled bitterly.
Come on, let's have a drink first. Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Otherwise, the wrinkles on your forehead will be like hills. Chen Xing smiled and raised his glass.
Seeing this, Yan Shaorong raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Xing.
For the rest of the time, the two of them did not talk much. Chen Xing talked about the local customs and practices of Rivertown. Due to his work, Yan Shaorong, who often traveled all over the country, was also familiar with some of the local customs. The two of them had a pleasant conversation.
They ate until eight o 'clock. Chen Xing invited Yan Shaorong to take some time to visit the scenic spots in Jiangcheng. It was also a way to relax after the intense negotiation. Yan Shaorong gladly agreed.
Time passed quietly. In a flash, it was December. The negotiation team brought by Yan Shaorong was still bargaining with the Provincial SARFT. Both sides seemed to be very patient. No one wanted to give in first. As an outsider, Chen Xing, who occasionally paid attention to the negotiation, had to admit that business negotiation was really tiring work. It was a test of one's patience and perseverance.
Chen Xing didn't spend too much time paying attention to the follow-up negotiations between the two sides. Because as soon as December entered, there were suddenly a lot of things to do. First, the provincial economic work summary for this year and the economic situation forecast for next year were held one after another. Then, there were various annual economic meetings in the city. At the same time, the annual economic reports of each district and county (city) would be released one after another. As the mayor, Chen Xing's attention finally fell on the economic work. Having been in office for more than half a year, he was also particularly concerned about the overall economic situation of Jiangcheng this year, which was also related to how much pressure the Municipal Government would face next year.
At the same time, the Jiangqi working group led by Liu Anding was about to return after more than a month of visiting and investigation.
At the Jiangcheng Airport, Chen Xing personally took some time out to meet Liu Anding and his team, who were about to arrive.
