Silicon Valley

Henry's hotel is called "Hengdian High-end Hotel", but it is not very high-end, at most a four-star hotel!

The owner of the hotel is a native of Hengdian, about thirty-five years old, about 170cm tall, with a shaved head, a wide body and a fat body, with a smile on his face all the time, like a Mira Buddha. His name was Zeng Hongshen, and when he heard that Henry and Kaelina were going to visit Hengdian, he volunteered to serve as a tour guide.

On the way, Zeng Hong introduced to Henry and Kelina with a deep smile: "Although Hengdian is small, it has mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. Since it is located between Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian and Jiangxi, it is a good idea to travel. There are also many people here! But on the other hand, Hengdian has barren land, thousands of valleys, and many barren mountains. Therefore, except for a few people, most of the people here are not very wealthy!"

"The most famous company in Hengdian is the Hengdian Group. In addition to their development in electronics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, they have also begun to get involved in tourism culture. They have bought many scenic spots in Hengdian and built many resorts! Mr. Williams and Miss Carina, if you want to go, I can take you there!" Zeng Hongshen said, "Also, I also heard that they were shooting the historical blockbuster "The Opium War" in order to cooperate with director Xie Jin. We are planning to build a Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot!"

"Mr. Xu Wen, the founder of Hengdian Group, even said that he would build a film and television shooting base in Hengdian Town. If this is the case, it would be great. The business of my hotel will definitely be better!" Zeng Hong said with a deep smile.

Henry was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, while Kaelina turned to look at him, and the two looked at each other.

The two did not speak, but they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Obviously, Henry's studio plan has been put forward one step ahead.

"Okay, then let's go take a look at the Hengdian Group's resort... Well, what about the Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot!" Henry said calmly.

...

...

In less than twenty minutes, Henry and the others arrived at their destination.

This is one of the resorts under the Hengdian Group, with flowing water. Rows of unique and exquisitely decorated wooden houses are built along the river, and many flowers, plants and trees are planted on the riverbank. The scenery is really beautiful. The Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot is going to be built near the resort to attract tourists!

Henry and others first went to the resort, where Henry and others ate a special meal of Hengdian, such as the fried pork with dried plums and vegetables that Dongyang people eat the most. Chicken pot, Dongyang roasted tofu, etc. Henry has a great appetite. He has not eaten hometown food for a long time. He misses it very much. He thinks, next time, he will hire a few chefs from Hengdian to cook for himself!

After finishing. Everyone walked around the resort for a while.

At this time. The senior management of Hengdian Group, including Chairman Xu Wen, rushed over!

"Mr. Henry Williams and Miss Carina are here, making our Hengdian Resort flourish!" Xu Wen introduced with a hearty smile, "Hello, I am Xu Wenrong, chairman of Hengdian Group!"

With that said, Xu Wen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Henry.

Xu Wen speaks Chinese, and a translator next to him is translating simultaneously.

Henry reached out and shook his hand, and smiled at him in very fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Xu Wenrong!"

Xu Wen was surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Williams to speak Chinese so fluently!"

Henry smiled lightly, "Mr. Xu, I heard that you are planning to build a Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot for Director Xie Jin to shoot "The Opium War"?"

"Oh, yes!" Xu Wen laughed, "Director Xie Jin has been worrying about where to find a suitable shooting location. However, you can imagine that the street scene of Guangzhou in those days has changed now. "The Opium War" It is a historical masterpiece, not only requires the plot in it to conform to the history, but also requires the filming background of the film. For example, the building and the like must also conform to the environment at that time, and strive to shoot the reality and restore the scene at that time to the greatest extent!”

"When we Hengdian Group heard about this, we suddenly thought, why don't we just copy one according to the architectural style of that period?" Xu Wen laughed and then continued, "As you can see, we have asked They designed the entire Guangzhou Street Scenic Spot and invited a construction team!"

Henry nodded with a smile, thinking to himself, Xu Wen and the Hengdian Group are really smart and powerful!

As far as Henry knows, the business model of Hengdian Group in the past life was "free + free". The so-called "free" means that if a well-known director wants to shoot a movie, he will come to Hengdian and build a shooting base for you free of charge; "free" means It is completely free for any crew to shoot at Hengdian Studios!

"Free + free" is simply a very clever marketing tool.

First, it has been highly valued by governments at all levels. Up to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, down to the Dongyang Municipal People's Government, highly affirmed and fully supported.

The second is the media focus effect. This kind of thing is a pie in the sky, and it is still a big pie! With the soaring price of TV advertisements, 100 million yuan to be promoted on TV stations is far less real and sensational than building a building worth hundreds of millions for free. And in this way, Hengdian Group can also have its own fixed assets, which simply kills two birds with one stone!

The third is the demand for a large number of extras in the filming, which provides a large number of employment opportunities for Hengdian! You must know that a company that can provide a lot of employment is a great company, and the state must not fatten it?

Fourth, the series of supporting facilities required for filming have led to the emergence of new professional processing service industries such as props and costumes in Hengdian.

Fifth, the filming attracts tourists from the surrounding area, driving the rise of tourism service industries such as catering and accommodation in Hengdian...

Hengdian Group can make a lot of money just by relying on peripheral income! ! !

There are hundreds of film and television shooting bases in China, but very few of them can make money, and Hengdian Film and Television City is undoubtedly the most profitable one. Henry thought to himself, if he builds Hengdian Film and Television City, he must do the same. Since there are successful examples here, don't copy it for nothing!

And Henry is more entangled now, should he follow the path of others, so that others have no way to go?

Henry shook his head and said in his heart, forget it, give Xu Wen and the Hengdian Group a chance to choose, surrender or die, it's up to them to choose!

"Mr. Xu Wen, I heard that you plan to build a film and television shooting base in Hengdian?" Henry said with a faint smile, "Haha, to tell you the truth, I am also very interested in this. I also plan to build a film and television base here!"

Xu Wen was stunned when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time.

"Mr. Xu Wen. How much money do you plan to invest to build a film and television base? 2 billion yuan?" Henry smiled and said calmly, "I plan to invest 10 billion!"

Unless Hengdian Group sells all its assets, otherwise. Not to mention 2 billion yuan, even 1 billion can't come out! Xu Wen's face became ugly, especially when Henry asked about the investment situation, it was even more embarrassing.

"Haha," Heng said to Xu Wenrong with a slight smile. "Mr. Xu Wen. Do you think this will work? We will invest in a joint venture company together, and then jointly build Hengdian Film and Television City. I can invest a little less, and the shareholding ratio, I 7 you 3." Henry paused, let Xu Wenrong thought for ten seconds, and then asked, "How is it, Mr. Xu Wen. Are you satisfied with this cooperation method?"

"Mr. Williams, I can't answer you yet!" Xu Wen frowned, "I'll reply to you when I think about it!"

"Okay!" Henry nodded, his eyes signaled, and asked a bodyguard to hand Xu Wenrong a business card.

"Within three days, you can call me anytime you want!" Henry said with a faint smile.

Xu Wen took the business card and looked at it. There was only one number on the business card and nothing else. However, the material of the business card is very good, it feels very good to the touch, and has a metallic texture! Xu Wen put the business card in his pocket and said, "Okay, I will reply to you within three days!"

Henry smiled and said goodbye to Xu Wen.

In fact, Henry is not too concerned about making money in Hengdian Film and Television City, but owning Hengdian Film and Television City is equivalent to having strong personal connections in the film and television culture circle, and has a lot of works for Henry's future layout.

Henry plans to let IMDB enter China, establish "IMDB China", follow the development model of Wanda Group, build commercial streets, resorts, five-star hotels, office buildings, high-end apartments, etc. in the center of IMDB Plaza, so as to create a collection of shopping, leisure, Catering, culture, entertainment and other functions are integrated into one, independent large-scale commercial circle!

Once "IMDB China" develops, Wanda Group will rest when it is cool...

As soon as Henry left, Xu Wenrong said to an employee next to him: "Go and contact the county magistrate Cheng Wenhong for me, and said, I want to continue to talk to him about the plan of the film and television base that I mentioned last time!"

"And..." Xu Wenrong shouted, "immediately notify the management above the group company manager to come to the company headquarters for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

...

"Marcy Philemon, I'm Henry Williams! You are sending a team to Hengdian Town, China now! It's time for IMDB to enter China!" Henry said, "I plan to build IMDB China here, around IMDB Plaza To establish our own independent business circle, whether it is IMDB department store, IMDB hotel, IMDB office building, IMDB cinema, etc., all of which are built and operated by ourselves. In the United States, some people may sue for monopoly, but this is China..." Henry With a faint smile, "China's monopoly is not a problem, you can do it with confidence and boldness!"

When Marcy Fillimon heard this, he immediately responded: "Okay, I'll send the best team over there right away!"

"Um!"

Henry hung up the phone and murmured: "After the establishment of 'IMDB China', Hengdian Film and Television City will be placed under the company's banner..."

...

A box of a luxury hotel in Hengdian.

"Hahaha... Dong Xu, how are you!!!" Cheng Wenhong, the county magistrate, walked towards him with a big smile after seeing Xu Wen after he walked into the box.

"Welcome Magistrate Cheng, come, come, please take a seat!" Xu Wen quickly stood up from his chair.

"Haha, does Director Xu have something to do with me?!"

When Xu Wen sent someone to invite Cheng Wenhong to come, he had already explained the matter, but Cheng Wenhong asked in a confused manner.

Xu Wen kept a smile on his face, and he didn't expose him. He said in cooperation, "Yeah, I want to talk to you about establishing a film and television base!"

Cheng Wenhong, the county magistrate, sat on a chair next to Xu Wenrong, smiled and said, "Oh, so that's what happened, just make a phone call from Director Xu, and also make a special trip to invite me for something to drink. wine..."

"I want it, I want it..." Xu Wen beckoned and instructed the subordinates behind him: "Come, come, fill the county magistrate. Cheng county is coming all the way, I want to have a toast with the county magistrate!"

After the subordinates were full of wine, Xu Wen said to Cheng Wenhong with a glass of wine: "Mr. Cheng, let's not talk much, we are all in the wine! You also know that I, Xu, do things and will never treat friends badly..."

"Okay, let's have a drink..."
