Chapter 43 Wave after wave(1/2)
The Hong Kong and Macao economic and trade delegation organized by Sir He visited Linbei New District. Tang Jinlong Hotel hosted a banquet in honor of Sir He and his delegation. People from the business community in northern Liaoning and Hong Kong guests gathered together to discuss the exhibition.
In just one week since the Hong Kong and Macao economic and trade delegation came to Liaodong, the two sides have carried out more than 30 economic and trade negotiations and high-level visits. Under Tang Yi's personal supervision, 19 projects were signed at the signing ceremony of the economic and trade cooperation exchange meeting that night.
Success is a key project that Tang Yi values with a total investment of nearly RMB.
That night at Building 15 of the Golden Dragon Hotel, Tang Yi met with the visiting Hong Kong ATV Group Executive Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ye Xiaolu, ATV Group Operations President Peng Jingying and others.
Peng Jingying is in her fifties, but she is well-maintained, with fair skin and beautiful appearance. She is a legend in the Hong Kong media industry. She was the former chief operating officer of TVB and one of the most influential people in TVBB's senior management. She was poached by ATV in Hong Kong with a lot of money.
It caused an uproar.
Today's ATV is nicknamed the "all-female team" by outside media, but ATV's low-key reforms have attracted the attention of almost all Hong Kong people. Many people hope that ATV can break TVB's dominance and open up a new era for Hong Kong media development.
One page.
When the storm in Hong Kong's media industry is about to start, there are also discordant voices. Many gossip media broke the news that the mysterious new ATV chairman Ms. Ye Xiaolu is Snowy's girlfriend. However, the news that Snowy was rumored to be gay has never been reported.
It has calmed down and fans have become accustomed to it. Male fans may be more loyal and crazy, and not many female fans care. I have also heard that the proportion of homosexuals among Snowy's female fans has increased. I don't know if it is because of the idol.
As for Ye Xiaolu, the Hong Kong media could not dig out any inside information. Except for superficial information such as "Beijing native", "Beijing flight attendant", "Fairly famous host", "Father was a gambler", etc., no reporter wanted to investigate further.
Rather than returning in despair, there are also voices that claim to have encountered mysterious resistance and firmly believe that Ye Xiaolu and Xue Ni are having an ambiguous relationship.
Tonight, Ye Xiao wore a white dress, which was simple and elegant, but even more beautiful and dazzling.
During the conversation, Tang Yi briefly introduced the situation of Liaodong Province. He said that Liaodong is rich in resources, has a long history and has rich cultural heritage. In recent years, the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have attached great importance to cultural undertakings and have achieved considerable development.
Recently, we will also hold the largest and highest-level cultural work conference since the founding of Liaodong Province. This is a major event in the cultural exhibition of Liaodong Province and will also actively promote the further development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries in Liaodong Province.
effect.
This cooperation between Hong Kong Asia Television and Liaodong Broadcasting and Television General Station will further promote all-round cultural and economic communication between Liaoning and Hong Kong. It is hoped that both parties will take advantage of their respective media resources to jointly create brand programs for the TV cultural industry and provide cultural opportunities for the two places.
Contribute to exchanges and cooperation.
It was a wonderful enjoyment for Xiaozi to watch the young master speak in another identity. Until the end of the meeting, Xiaolu was still immersed in this wonderful atmosphere and couldn't extricate herself.
Jinlong Hotel was dotted with stars. The shadows of jagged rocks were dancing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Tang Yi stood in front of the window holding a wine glass, silently.
The footsteps sounded softly. The fragrance was familiar and alluring. You didn’t need to look back to know it was Ye Xiaolu.
"Governor Tang, this bottle of yours is valuable, isn't it?" Ye Xiaolu's voice was clear and sweet, like a warbler's cry. She held a glass of red wine in her hand.
More than ten steps away from the meeting place with foreign guests, Ms. Peng Jingying was tasting wine and chatting with Director Wang Jinsong of the Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television. After the formal meeting, Tang Yi opened a bottle of wine to entertain everyone.
Looking at Ye Xiaolu's sexy curved black eyelashes, Tang Yi had the urge to kiss her. He hadn't seen Ye Xiaolu for more than a month, and he really missed her.
"Hey, how have you considered what I said last time?" Tang Yi asked in a low voice.
Ye Xiaolu smiled softly, "Shengshi Garden, Building 3, 3011. I'll give you the key later."
Tang Yi smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, there are house watchers there." He had long discussed with Ye Xiaolu about buying a property in Kuancheng, but he secretly bought it himself without wanting her.
"How are you at work? What big plans do you have?" Tang Yi took a sip of red wine and changed the topic.
Ye Xiaolu said: "You, you are rushing to put it on the shelves. How can I understand those business things? Sister Peng is in charge of it. I am planning a few new columns. However, if you want ratings, you mainly need to watch the production of TV series.
Level. Sister Peng originally wanted to poach TVB’s gold medal directors and screenwriters, but I think this is not good. Even if we poach all the people from TVB, we will just turn ATV into another TVB. In terms of TV production, TVB
It can be said that it has reached a peak, but it has also reached a bottleneck. If we want to develop, ATV needs to be new. I think we can learn from American and Japanese drama models, integrate Hong Kong style, and establish ATV's own model for TV dramas."
Tang Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Xiaolu, it seems you are a born TV person!"
It was a rare compliment from the young master. Ye Xiaolu felt sweet in her heart and said: "In addition to discovering potential new screenwriters, we are also preparing to reform the artist contracting system to make every ATV artist feel like home."
In recent years, the economy has not been very prosperous, and the income of Hong Kong artists has shrunk. In TVBB, the first-line artists are only paid a few thousand yuan per episode, including some popular male stars and female stars. The salary of one brother and one sister can reach 40,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in the past
The income level in Hong Kong cannot really be called high salary. Most of the main income of these popular celebrities comes from endorsements, stage appearances in two places and advertising salary.
Celebrities may seem to have unlimited glory, but in fact they know their own needs.
Tang Yi smiled and said: "Don't forget, we must concentrate on the Liaodong special program. We have spent a lot of money, so we must get value for money."
Ye Xiaolu curled her lips and said, "You showed your fox's tail in just three sentences. How can you care about me?"
Tang Yi smiled and wanted to squeeze her pretty little face, but looking at the group of people chatting and laughing not far away, he finally endured it.
…
In the governor's office, Tang Yi looked at his watch from time to time, but Director Zhang He on the sofa opposite was still chattering bitterly.
Zhang He is in his fifties this year, with gray hair but a hale and hearty spirit. This expert and director of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has always been an intellectual. Even when facing Tang Yi, he complained outright.
Regardless of whether Tang Yi liked it or not, he was full of complaints and it was obvious that he had great opinions on the Provincial Department of Commerce, and even named Director Yang Guanshan.
In the contacts between Xinghai Mining and North Korea, the Provincial Department of Commerce was too enthusiastic and sent officials and experts to participate in every negotiation, which caused dissatisfaction from North Korea.
Negotiations were suspended. After Zhang He communicated with the deputy governor in charge, Zhang Hanning, to no avail, the matter was revealed to Tang Yi, and he denounced the short-sighted behavior of the Department of Commerce.
"Governor Tang, I am almost furious. I have repeatedly said hello to my colleagues in the office that the North Korean side does not want government action to be involved. Our company itself is a joint venture between state-owned enterprises and private investors. There are already different voices among North Korean senior officials who do not agree with our procurement. It's their mine. If the office interferes in the matter, it will be more difficult to handle. But they just won't listen. Now, I can't bear the responsibility of being a negligent negotiator!"
Zhang He angrily picked up the tea cup and took a few sips.
It's not clear to Yi that the negotiations between Xinghai and North Korea have reached a deadlock. Qi Jie's stall is too big now, so it's impossible to just talk to him when encountering some difficulties.
Tang Yi looked at his watch again and said with a smile: "The secretary's office meeting has begun. Director Zhang, you still have to discuss this issue with Governor Hanning. You must have confidence. If you explain the issue more clearly, Governor Hanning will understand." .”
Zhang He got excited, and the old man said dissatisfiedly: "Governor Tang, you have to make your own decisions on this issue. Only if you give instructions will the Department of Commerce be convinced!"
Tang Yi laughed: "You may not be convinced by oral advice, but you need to get things done. Is your company going to be an independent kingdom in the future? Don't you need the cooperation of the Department of Commerce?"
The stubborn old man was at a loss for words.
Tang Yi stood up with a smile, "Don't worry, I agree with you on this issue and will help your mining company strive for the best development environment."
Zhang then stood up angrily and said, "Governor Tang, I remember this sentence."
When Tang Yi hurried into the small conference room, he was five minutes late. Secretary Zhao looked at his watch and said nothing. After Tang Yi sat down, he made a gesture and said, "Okay, let's get started."
Chen Tao asked Tang Yi with a smile: "I heard that Lao Zhang blocked the office? This stubborn old man is really a headache."
Tang Yi smiled and said nothing.
This secretarial meeting was mainly to study two key provincial projects that were affected by the sudden divestment of the GHH Group. One of them is the Yongbyon-Yanqing Expressway. After this 200-kilometer highway is paved, the Yongbyon Expressway will , the second city of Yungang has a highway that leads directly to the Andong seaport, so there is no need to detour to Chuncheng.
Originally, the investment method of Ningyan Expressway was a joint venture between the state and GHH Group, and GH Group would obtain the right to operate the expressway for 20 years. Now the preliminary land acquisition and demolition work for the expressway is in progress, and the funds promised by GH Group have not yet been received. The contract was terminated due to a small loophole in the contract.
Looking through the information in his hand, Tang Yi shook his head slightly. GHH broke the contract on the grounds that the land acquisition was blocked. It is true that the land acquisition and demolition work encountered some difficulties and the progress was slightly slower than expected. However, these are minor problems and it is completely ok. GH is just using this as an excuse to communicate and negotiate.
Zhao Di sighed and said: "Of course GHH is deliberately making things difficult, but it is also true that some comrades in our headquarters failed to complete the schedule as scheduled!"
The commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Provincial Expressway Construction Headquarters is member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Governor Guo Bin, and the two deputy commanders-in-chief are respectively a deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee and the director of the Provincial Department of Transportation.
Zhao Di naturally pointed the finger at the commander-in-chief Guo Bin.
Chen Botao said with a smile: "You can't say that. Even if we catch up with the progress, the big group is determined to part ways with us. If we continue to force it, there will only be more problems. If we get divorced, we will divorce, and we will not find a second marriage. Good luck to your in-laws? What’s more, the issue of demolition is inherently complicated, and conflicts cannot be intensified for the sake of progress. I think the Department of Transportation and the local government have done a good job on this point. The demolition and land acquisition work is tepid, and we are slowly trying to figure it out. commendable.
"
Zhao Di had been drinking tea slowly while Chen Botao was speaking. After Chen Botao finished speaking, he put down his tea cup and said: "I agree with most of Governor Botao's opinions. The question is who will take over this mess? South Korea
The media over there have been criticizing us, as if we in Liaodong are some kind of monster cave that can eat people. Everyone doesn’t know what’s going on. They must think there are some problems in the planning of this highway and they dare to take it on? Who is willing to take it on?”
Liao Jintian laughed and said: "Old Zhao, you are wrong. In terms of economy and investment, can you still stump Governor Tang?"
the taste of.
Tang Yi smiled slightly, "Well, investment is a small problem, the main thing is how to eliminate the adverse effects."
Recently, South Korean newspapers not only exposed the so-called "Liaodong shady story" but even brought up the case of Kim Myung-cheol. They exaggerated and described the Liaodong police as a gangster.
Secretary Zhao waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "With or without these reports, the Korean people have a prejudice against our domestic impression. Those knowledgeable businessmen who want to make money don't care about these reports." After a pause, he turned to look at Tang Yi, "
Is it possible for us to sue GHH for breaking the contract?”
Tang Yi knew that the secretary was old-school, especially since his father was captured during the Korean War and was said to have been mistreated by the Koreans and died in a prisoner camp. He had never had a good impression of the Korean Secretary Zhao. Perhaps Secretary Zhao might be dissatisfied with him over the GH divestment incident.
Not satisfied with GHH's flagrant divestment, and even inciting some Korean media to make irresponsible remarks on Liaodong government affairs, it was a challenge to the entire Liaodong team. Secretary Zhao remained calm on the face, but he didn't know how angry he was in his heart. He was afraid that he was very close to Dong Jin, who had always been close to him.
Zhao Di had some opinions. Just when Zhao Di spoke in a strange manner, Tang Yi noticed that Secretary Zhao frowned several times.
Secretary Zhao asked Tang Yi for his opinion on filing a lawsuit with GHH. Zhao Di was obviously surprised. He probably didn't receive any news before the meeting. Only now did he feel something was wrong. He knew that he didn't have a good idea of Secretary Zhao's thoughts.
His smile gradually faded, and he silently picked up the cup and drank water.
Liao Jintian glanced at Secretary Zhao for a few times and then turned his head.
Tang Yi pondered for a while and said: "You can file a lawsuit, but I'm afraid the chance of winning is not good, and there is no precedent in history for filing a lawsuit abroad in the name of the provincial government. If you file a lawsuit domestically, it will have no effect." In fact, Tang Yi's original intention was
, if the provincial government can really go to court against GHH abroad in the name of the provincial government, regardless of whether the lawsuit succeeds or fails, the significance will be inestimable. But many things don't just happen.
Secretary Zhao nodded slightly.
Tang Yi thought for a while and then said: "But Chuncheng Yidian can definitely file this lawsuit with GHH."
The cooperation project between Spring City No. 1 Electronic Instrument Factory and GHH Group was also suspended by GHH Group on the grounds that the Chinese side could not meet some requirements in their contract.
Zhao Di moved his lips but didn't speak. Liao Jintian sighed, "It's not easy to go to South Korea to file a lawsuit? Our companies have frequently failed overseas in recent years.
, how many people have won the lawsuit?"
Secretary Zhao waved his hand, "How dare you be the first to lead the trend! This time we are suing people, not the defendants, so what are we afraid of? After joining the WTO, there are more and more economic disputes. When dealing with these disputes, we should not turn to the old calendar, but follow the international route.
We must be familiar with the rules of the game for international businessmen, and we in Liaodong must also set an example for enterprises across the country."
