At this time, Fang Haotian, who had been silent in response, stood up: "I have spent some time in Guangdong Province before, and I am familiar with the local customs. Moreover, no one else can speak Cantonese, but I can..."
Li Qing looked up at Fang Haotian. Fang Haotian's resume flashed through his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Fang Haotian is now thirty-eight years old. He graduated from Beijing University and later studied in the United States and took root there.
Before joining Hanhai, Fang Haotian had just experienced a failure in his life and career. He once served as the leader of the R&D team at an electronic production technology company in Silicon Valley, USA. He was later fired for some unknown reasons. After returning to China, Fang Haotian worked again at an electronic production technology company in Silicon Valley.
Listed companies do middle management.
But within a year, he voluntarily resigned due to emotional problems. Before coming to Hanhai, Fang Haotian could be said to have been in a state of wandering.
Li Qing still remembers the scene when he met Fang Haotian two years ago.
He has a face covered with stubble, which makes him look a little decadent and a little artistic. His face is always unsmiling.
Later, after getting along for a long time, Fang Haotian's mentality gradually recovered, and his abilities were gradually revealed in Hanhai. He managed the personnel department in an orderly manner without affecting the company's development progress at all.
Today, Fang Haotian is a veteran of the company in terms of seniority. Back then, Zhou also proposed that Fang Haotian be the deputy general manager, but he was declined.
At that time, Fang Haotian had not yet emerged from the haze of emotional problems and seemed not interested in promotion or salary increase.
But today, Fang Haotian is no longer what he used to be, and his mentality has gradually changed.
In the past two years, his enthusiasm for work has never been inferior to anyone's. He has dedicated all his energy to Hanhai. It is time for a person with such outstanding ability to go out and take charge of his own business.
At this thought, Li Qing nodded in agreement.
Soon, an outbound team headed by Fang Haotian was formed.
In addition, Li Qing is also thinking about one thing: the endorsement of Liu Laoji herbal tea products.
Xu Xiaoming's previously scheduled endorsement of Cai Li was naturally declared invalid after Liu Laoji changed owners.
However, Li Qing did not plan to go into battle himself.
Therefore, after much consideration, he decided to let Cai Li be the spokesperson for the time being, and Li Qing said on the spot that he would personally provide and produce the advertising concept film.
Hearing that Cai Li was the spokesperson, a buzzing discussion immediately erupted in the conference room.
You must know that the company not only has the superstar Li Qing, but also a number of first-line singers such as Bao Yunyun and Qin Hai. Although Cai Li's popularity is soaring, there is no comparison with the previous ones.
When Marsh heard the news, he immediately laughed.
The value of Cai Li was forcibly revealed by Li Qing at this moment, and the manager Jin Xiangyu who was still encouraged by the encouragement probably felt regretful after today.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qing proposed the "big health industry" plan.
The plan focuses on "Liu Laoji Herbal Tea" and requires Fang Haotian to start a comprehensive layout in terms of production capacity, medicinal materials, extraction, canning, packaging, transportation and other aspects after taking office.
Of course, the "big health industry" plan is not a one-day achievement.
Li Qing only proposed this plan, and the specific implementation speed will depend on Fang Haotian's situation and ability.
Finally, there is the issue of product positioning. It is true that Liu Laoji herbal tea is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, but in Li Qing’s view, it is more of a beverage. Only by positioning Liu Laoji herbal tea as a beverage can we have a broader market.
Therefore, Li Qing invited Fang Haotian to focus on this matter when cooperating on advertising projects in the future. As for the promotion plan, he needed to hire a professional company to conduct actual inspections.
Of course, the widely circulated advertising slogan "Drink Liu Laoji for fear of getting angry" was also kept in mind by Li Qing, and he would put it on the agenda when the time was right.
After the meeting, the next day, Fang Haotian led the temporarily formed Liu Laoji team with tens of millions of funds in hand and flew to Xiuyun County, the birthplace of Liu Laoji herbal tea in Guangdong Province.
As soon as Fang Haotian and others got off the plane, they were immediately surrounded by staff from the local county government's "Investment Promotion" office.
When these government officials, who looked like officials, saw Fang Haotian, they all smiled as happily as if they had met the God of Wealth.
I don't know where they got the news from, but these government officials insisted that Fang Haotian was here to invest, and held a sumptuous banquet at the largest local hotel, inviting Fang Haotian to show his respect.
Fang Haotian was not shy and accepted the invitation happily.
At this time, Fang Haotian was dressed in a clean brand-name suit, brand-name watch, and shoes so polished that you could see his figure. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was elegant and rich. With every move, he interpreted the temperament of a successful person.
Superb.
This outfit was purchased by Li Qing. In Li Qing’s words, Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. Fang Haotian’s visit to Guangdong this time represents the face of the vast sea and the face of the capital, which cannot be left to the local government.
Next shabby impression.
At the dinner table, the local government expressed its inner enthusiasm. The staff of the investment promotion office, headed by the county magistrate, were flattering Fang Haotian and constantly changing cups. The final result was to directly destroy the wilderness in the east of the city.
The land was allocated to Fang Haotian.
The total area of the land is more than 60 acres and it has been used for 30 years.
The most important thing is that the use of land resources is completely free!
The county government has only one condition, which is to keep the pharmaceutical factory that Hanhai plans to build at a cost of 30 million yuan locally.
In his past life experience, as a technical geek, Fang Haotian rarely dealt with the government.
But at this time, he was also shocked by the magnanimity of the county government.
After some in-depth understanding, Fang Hao finally realized that since the 1990s, the country has implemented and implemented an "investment attraction" plan in order to develop various districts and counties across the country.
Attracting investment, as the name suggests, means attracting foreign investment, introducing funds to build local industrial scale, and developing and providing local industrial standards.
For this reason, some districts and counties are willing to spend huge sums of money to organize groups to go outside the province and abroad to attract investment, hoping to improve the "effect".
However, after nearly ten years of failed efforts to attract investment, Xiuyun County has developed a deep hatred for foreign-funded enterprises with frequent fraud cases. Many foreign businessmen have defrauded hundreds or even thousands of people in the local area by relying on the incomplete collection of government information resources.
Thousands of loans.
Before this Xiuyun County Government, many former county magistrates and county party committee secretaries lost their jobs because of this.
But Hanhai is different. Who doesn’t know that this is Li Qing’s company?
How could such a large enterprise with clear origins and abundant capital come all the way to Guangdong to defraud loans?
Therefore, after analyzing Hanhai's hard work, Xiuyun County government leaders all circled around Fang Haotian as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Fang Haotian, who had this intention in mind, after going deep into the hinterland and understanding the local conditions and the benefits of various investment policies, became less anxious and began to practice Tai Chi with the local government.
Two days later, Liulaoji Herbal Tea Co., Ltd. signed a contract with the Xiuyun County Government.
The original sixty acres of land use resources became 120 acres after two days, fully doubled. The useful life remains the same, up to thirty years, but it is completely free!
In addition, with the guarantee provided by the local government, Liu Laoji Herbal Tea received a 20 million interest-free loan...
…
While Fang Haotian was carrying out factory construction in full swing in Guangdong Province, Li Qing was not idle. The next day, he had a pleasant meeting with the person in charge of a British publishing company who came all the way to Hanhai as a guest.
"Hello, I am Barry Temple, editor-in-chief of Bloomsbury Publishing Company in the UK."
Barry looked at the young and a bit over-the-top Chinese in front of him with some disbelief: "Are you Leesin? The author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?"
"I'm Leesin." This was Li Qing's first time talking to an Englishman, but his fluent English did not reveal his nervousness at all: "Mr. Temple, welcome to China."
While drinking coffee, Barry looked at Li Qing and sighed sincerely.
Genius! This is definitely genius!
It was Barry's first time to come to China. It took him a day or two to apply for a visa. This was only possible because he asked a friend who worked at the airport. Otherwise, he would not only have to provide proof of round-trip air tickets, but also
Proof of hotel accommodation in China, invitation letter from Chinese locals, etc. are required. I am afraid that a week has passed and Barry is still staying in London.
It’s simply more troublesome than going to the United States!
However, unexpectedly, China, which he originally thought was relatively backward, opened his eyes.
Before he even got off the plane, he was shocked by the vast scenery of China.
Especially the majestic Great Wall, which made Barry couldn't help shouting "Oh Maika" more than ten times on the plane, causing many people to roll their eyes.
After arriving in the capital, Bali was even more amazed as he passed various scenic spots and places of interest.
At this moment, the mysterious China in the eyes of Westerners was completely revealed in Barry's eyes.
Living in such an environment, there should be many interesting stories happening!
Barry was envious. His intuition made him think that Leesin had a pair of eyes that discovered beauty, so he could write "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" with a British style. Leesin himself should be a very famous writer in China.
writer.
But when Leesin actually appeared in front of him, Barry felt that all the imagination in his mind began to collapse.
It's simply devastating.
"Do you have any other works before "Harry Potter"?"
Barry took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked with a smile.
As he asked, he looked at the size and layout of Hanhai Media.
Based on what he had just learned, Barry knew that this seemingly large-scale company belonged to Leesin. The other party should not be a copywriter short of money. Writing "Harry Potter" should be just a hobby?
"Yes, I wrote "The Three-Body Problem", as well as "Looking for Qin", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and so on..." Li Qing said casually.
Barry was completely dumbfounded. He had never even heard of "Looking for Qin" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but "The Three-Body Problem"?
Oh My God!
"Are you actually the author of "The Three-Body Problem"?" Barry shouted in disbelief: "Are you the Qinglian Sword Immortal?"
Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes."
Barry stood up, walked around excitedly, and kept slapping his cheeks: "That's great, that's great. It turns out you are such a famous writer!"
After "The Three-Body Problem" was deliberately banned by the authorities in the United States, it disappeared from the market without a trace, and even disappeared from the Internet. However, as a country with similar cultures, the British Internet has translated articles about "The Three-Body Problem"
The version has spread like wildfire and is extremely popular. It has been rated as the most readable contemporary science fiction novel in China.
The public may be a little confused about "The Three-Body Problem", but as an industry insider, Barry is still sensitive to the trends in the industry. Although he has not watched "The Three-Body Problem" much, its popularity has always existed.
A favorite among some science fiction fans.
In other words, Leesin actually already has a certain basic reputation in the British literary circle.
Of course, the most puzzling thing for Barry is why Li Qing is so familiar with London culture. The scenes in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are simply described in detail, and many of the buildings in it are real.
For example, the scene at the train station is simply a scene that could only be written by a local conductor.
"I prefer watching British movies and have read many British novels."
Li Qing said without blushing: "I love Britain very much. I think Britain is a country full of passion. If I have the chance, I might visit all the cities in Britain..."
Barry couldn't understand the expressions of Chinese people. He felt that Chinese people all looked similar, but from Li Qing's words, he learned that this was a Chinese who was extremely friendly to Britain.
This made Barry even more excited. He thought it would be very easy to sign the novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" this time.
In order to win Li Qing's favor, Bali immediately started discussions with Li Qing about various aspects of the country of Britain.
What shocked Barry was that Li Qing seemed to understand Britain better than he, a native British man, and his foresight and viewpoints in all aspects simply amazed him.
He finally became convinced that the novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was indeed written by Li Qing.
So, next, let’s talk about the contract.
"Is this your first time publishing a novel in the UK?"
Barry said happily: "Generally speaking, we will buy out the remuneration of new writers in one time based on the number of words. It is usually less than 50,000 pounds, which is about 70,000 US dollars or 500,000 yuan."
"Your "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a total of more than 200,000 words, which can be regarded as a medium-length novel. I can decide to give you a copyright buyout price of up to 100,000 pounds..."
One hundred thousand pounds is about one million yuan.
For a new writer, this is an astronomical amount of money, but for Li Qing, it is not worth mentioning.
How could the value of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" be inferior to "The Legend of Qin"?
