The tomb of the Ming Dynasty commander was finally discovered.

The commander was the highest military officer of the Ming Dynasty garrison. He was of the third rank and could command five to six thousand soldiers and horses. He was roughly equivalent to the current division commander, but his local power was much greater than that of the current division commander.

As a cemetery for a third-grade official, the items buried there are quite good in terms of quantity and quality, and are of great archaeological value.

In the Baidun'er area, in addition to the ruins of the New Period, Han tombs, Ming tombs and Qing tombs were also found. Archaeological experts immediately realized that there may be a tomb group spanning multiple dynasties here.

After investigation by archaeological experts, they found tombs from the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Basically, the major dynasties in Chinese history were gathered together.

This kind of tomb group that brings together multiple dynasties is a great treasure for archaeologists.

Tombs can reflect the culture of an era, and the tombs of multiple dynasties can connect the culture of this area together, which is of more archaeological significance than the discovery of tombs of a certain dynasty alone. .

So archaeological experts delineated an area of ​​800 meters long and 400 meters wide, totaling 320,000 square meters. Not only did it cover the entire Baidun'er, but also some areas around Baidun'er were included in this range. Inside.

As a result, the land previously allocated to the heavy machinery factory as a factory area has all become a cultural relic protection area, and even the surrounding land has also been included in the cultural relic protection area. The construction plan of the heavy machinery factory has also directly It’s yellow!

The heavy machinery factory naturally suffered serious losses. Not only was all the early construction work in vain, but a lot of time was wasted.

Moreover, when this kind of thing happens, the heavy machinery factory has no way to claim compensation and can only admit that it is unlucky.

The discovery of cultural relics during construction, resulting in construction delays, is a force majeure factor. According to the later Civil Code, those who cannot perform civil obligations due to force majeure will not bear civil liability.

To put it bluntly, you won’t lose a penny!

No compensation for losses will be made unless expressly stipulated by law. However, the Civil Code had not yet been implemented at that time, so there was no basis for compensation.

Although there will be no compensation for construction delays, the land still needs to be compensated. After all, the land used to protect cultural relics must be given to others.

It is said that the city can refund the money and return the 80 million land transfer fee to the heavy machinery factory, but there is no reason to spit out the meat that has been eaten into the mouth. What's more, after such a long time, 80 million has been spent long ago.

So we can only plan another 200 acres of land from other places for the heavy machinery factory to use as a new factory site.

However, if we change the location, we won't have such an excellent geographical location as Baidun'er, and research, surveying, and land acquisition will all take time. In addition to factory construction, relocation, and equipment debugging, it will take at least two years.

In other words, the heavy machinery factory will continue to suspend production for two years!

At the gate of the warehouse, Zhang Tao looked at the piles of cement in the warehouse with a melancholy expression on his face.

In order to build a new factory, the heavy machinery factory purchased a large amount of materials, including steel bars, cement, sand and gravel and other building materials. And in order to obtain a more favorable price, these building materials are purchased on a large scale.

Now that the construction of new factories has stopped, these building materials can only be piled up and gather dust.

Other building materials will just collect dust, such as sand, gravel, etc., they will not break if they are piled there. If the steel bars are properly preserved, there will be no problem if they are stored for ten or eight years.

But cement is different. The shelf life of that thing is only three months. It will break if it is not used for three months after buying it.

The heavy machinery factory needs to find a new place to build a new factory. They have purchased so much cement that they will not be able to use it for a while. If they don't want to scrap it all, they have to sell it at a discount.

Over and over again, I lose money again and again!

Thinking that the new factory would not be put into operation until two years at the earliest, Zhang Tao suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Thinking back a few months ago, when Volvo just took over the heavy machinery factory, Zhang Tao was very ambitious and planned to use Volvo's Dongfeng to build the heavy machinery factory into the top construction machinery company in the country.

However, within just a few months, the enthusiasm in Zhang Tao's heart was extinguished by the cruel reality.

It will take at least two years for the heavy machinery factory to start production again, but who knows what the domestic construction machinery industry will look like in two years' time?

Given China's development speed, will the technologies provided by Volvo still be considered leading in two years' time? Maybe other Chinese companies have caught up long ago and may even come up with better technologies.

If a company does not engage in production for two years, it means that it has been decoupled from the market for two years. Even if it comes back, will it still be recognized by the market?

Two years later, even if the heavy machinery factory can return as the king, it has been out of the market for too long and its original customers have been divided up by other companies, so everything will have to start over.

At Zhang Tao's age, he has lost his ambition to conquer the country. What's more, even when he was young, Zhang Tao's abilities were relatively limited. It was really difficult for him to lead the company to start over.

Looking at the cement piled up in the entire warehouse, Zhang Tao sighed once again. He couldn't help but start to review, wanting to know how the heavy machinery factory got to this point.

The first is to sell oneself to Volvo. This decision is definitely no problem. Volvo has strong funds, leading technology and high brand awareness. Considering the situation of the heavy machinery factory at that time, selling to Volvo is the best choice.

Then there was a problem with the Tuanjie Road Bridge. This was a completely unforeseen disaster. Who would have thought that a bridge that had been used for so many years would be damaged when it was said to be damaged? If this kind of thing happens, it can only be regarded as the heavy machinery factory's own bad luck.

The next step is to choose a new location to build the factory. Finally, there is no problem in choosing Baidun'er. From the results of the survey, Baidun'er has convenient transportation and is the most suitable place to build the new factory.

As for the discovery of cultural relics, it is a force majeure factor. Who would have thought that there are nearly 500 acres of tombs buried underground in Baidun'er!

Based on this calculation, it can only be regarded as the heavy machinery factory being unlucky!

"God is really going to kill me!" Zhang Tao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Since God wants to kill me, it is a crime other than war. It is not my responsibility that the heavy machinery factory ended up like this." Zhang Tao comforted himself and began to plan his future.

"The money given by Volvo has not been spent yet. The company still has a lot of money on its account. In addition, by selling these building materials, part of the funds can be recovered. Even if we do nothing in the next two years, we will not be short of money. Flowers. I should eat what I need, drink what I need, and reimburse what I need. Just take it one step at a time, and there will be a way to reach the mountain!"

The heavy machinery factory still had money in its account, so Zhang Tao was not panicked at all. He could still ask for money from Volvo if he ran out of money.

So Zhang Tao decided to just lie down and forget it!

Japan, Johnny \u0026 Associates.

Mijima Iijima looked at the statistics table in his hand with a thick smile on his face.

Data shows that the ratings of the last episode of "hero" were as high as 36.8, while the average rating of the entire drama was 34.3, ranking first among Japanese TV series!

"Haha, Kimura-kun really did not disappoint us. Although this "Hero" did not carry out preliminary publicity, it still won the ratings of Japanese TV series. It seems that the marriage has not affected Kimura-kun, and his popularity is still the same! "Iijima Sanchi said proudly.

At the end of last year, Kimura Takuya announced his marriage, which had a great impact on his acting career. At that time, almost all Japanese media believed that Kimura Takuya was finished.

If it were any other artist, if something like this happened, they would have been hidden away by Johnny \u0026 Associates, and they might have been banned directly.

But he is Kimura Takuya after all, so Johnny \u0026 Johnson can only treat him coldly. For example, Kimura Takuya's new drama "Hero" did not carry out any preliminary publicity. This major drama, which originally had high hopes, was launched in a very low-key manner. .

However, what everyone did not expect was that "hero" gave Kimura Takuya a turnaround. The highest ratings of 36.8 and the average ratings of 34.3 seem to tell the whole of Japan that marriage has not affected Kimura Takuya's popularity and he is back!

Regarding this result, the happiest person is Johnny \u0026 Associates, which has finally cultivated an unprecedented top star. If Liangliang fails, the loss to Johnny \u0026 Associates will be huge.

Nowadays, Kimura Takuya's popularity is still the same, and Johnny \u0026 Johnson has finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this cash cow has not fallen, and can continue to bring huge profits to Johnny \u0026 Associates.

As Kimura Takuya's agent, Iijima Mitochi also has a lot of confidence.

"The TV series "Hero" is so popular that it will definitely attract a lot of advertising endorsement contracts for Kimura Takuya. Originally, I was worried that Kimura-kun would not receive advertising due to the impact of the marriage incident!

Now it seems that all my worries are unnecessary, Kimura-kun is still the most popular star in Japan! His Hiroshima endorsement fee must not be less than a penny, and must be based on the original price.

In addition, we also want to terminate our cooperation with the puppy electronics that has been taking advantage of Kimura-kun. They threatened us about Kimura-kun's marriage before, so we had no choice but to compromise with Puppy Electric.

Now that Kimura-kun is getting married, it is already known to everyone in Japan, and the threat of puppy electronics is no longer effective! What's more, Kimura-kun's popularity is still the same, and now they need Kimura-kun.

Go tell the people of Puppy Electric that if they want Kimura-kun to continue to endorse their products, they must first pay 100 million yen in advertising endorsement fees. Otherwise, our cooperation will end here! "

Zhong Yemao hurried into Li Weidong's office.

"Chairman, I just received news from the Japan office that Johnny \u0026 Associates will terminate its cooperation with us unless we pay 100 million yen in advertising endorsement fees for Takuya Kimura." Zhong Yemao said.

"One hundred million yen is really a big deal!" Li Weidong smiled indifferently, and then said: "But Kimura Takuya is still worth the price. I heard that his latest TV series has broken the ratings of Japanese TV series. Records show that his popularity has not diminished because of his marriage.”

"Chairman, are you really going to give Johnny \u0026 Associates 100 million yen?" Zhong Yemao asked.

"I'm not stupid!" Li Weidong curled his lips and continued: "Although Kimura Takuya is worth the price, in my opinion, it is just price but no market. If you ask Kimura Takuya to endorse, the price/performance ratio is too low."

"It is indeed not cost-effective!" Zhong Yemao nodded, and then said: "But without Kimura Takuya, the sales of our products in Japan will inevitably be affected. Kimura Takuya still has a great influence on the Japanese market."

"So I have already found an alternative." Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued; "Some time ago, I established a new puppy entertainment company in Hong Kong Island to explore some young and potential stars. I guess I won't be able to use it. How long will it take for them to find a suitable candidate to replace Kimura Takuya?"

Taipei, Fulong Production Company, general manager Chai Pingzhi is worried about the budget.

Chibaira plans to adapt a Japanese comic into a TV series.

However, in terms of budget, she is somewhat stretched. Now she only has a budget of NT$200,000 per episode, and she pays it in installments.

If after the TV series is aired, if the ratings are not satisfactory, even the budget of NT$200,000 per episode will be gone, and the TV series will have to be cut in half.

According to the exchange rate at that time, 200,000 Taiwan dollars was equivalent to 50,000 yuan. It was possible to film an episode of a TV series with this amount of money, even in mainland China.

In the same year, "The Gate of the House" and "Kangxi Dynasty" were filmed in mainland China. They were all large-scale productions with a total investment of about 20 to 30 million yuan. Even TV series such as "Iron Teeth, Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "Li Wei Becomes an Official" cost hundreds of thousands per episode.

Prices on the other side are much higher than those on the mainland. Each episode has a budget of 50,000 yuan, and the lead actor is always adding chicken drumsticks to his lunch box!

More importantly, what Chai Pingzhi wanted to film was the story of four rich boys. Rich boys naturally have famous brands, sports cars, yachts and the like. With a budget of NT$200,000 per episode, no one can afford these luxuries!

After calling one after another, Chai Pingzhi used almost all his connections, but still couldn't get sponsorship.

In the early 1990s, TV series co-produced by the three places across the Taiwan Strait were very popular. It was also the golden age of TV series from the other side of the Taiwan Strait.

Lighting fixtures such as "The Legend of the New White Snake", "Joking about Qianlong" and "Bao Qingtian" have been broadcast on almost all mainland TV stations, and each time they are broadcast they will achieve very good ratings.

At that time, Chen Derong was regarded as a goddess by a generation, and Ma Jingtao's roar was not embarrassing at all.

However, by the end of the 1990s, TV dramas from the other side of the country began to decline for the first time. The single variety of dramas, the outflow of talent, and the shortage of funds were all the reasons for the decline.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, Korean dramas began to imitate Taiwanese dramas, and relied on the three magic weapons of amnesia, car accidents, and incurable diseases to become better than their predecessors. People who used to like Taiwanese dramas are now watching Korean dramas.

Mainland TV dramas are also making rapid progress, especially in terms of production costs, which are becoming more and more abundant, and the production level of TV dramas is also becoming better.

There is more investment in mainland TV dramas, which also attracts many artists from the other side of the Taiwan Strait to go north to seek gold, which naturally leads to an outflow of talent from Taiwanese dramas.

For the above reasons, life was very difficult for Taiwanese dramas at that time. It could be said that they needed people but no one, and they had no money. They could only rely on some low-cost and small-produced TV series to survive.

It is also for this reason that the new drama planned by Chai Pingzhi cannot attract investment at all.

Just as Chai Ping was scratching his head sadly, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hey, Mr. Chai, there is an entertainment company in Hong Kong who just called and said that they are interested in our TV series and want to discuss investment."

Upon hearing the word "investment", Chai Pingzhi immediately asked: "What is the name of this company?"

“Call Puppy Entertainment!”
