Chapter 760 100 million US dollars is too little, 800 million! (4200+ chapters~)
Wu Jianye sat under the stage and watched Zhao Xiaoyan on the stage presiding over the wedding of Chen Ming and Yu Li.
Zhao Xiaoyan's host was generous and decent, and naturally she would not do those messy things. At first, Chen Ming wanted to find a host for his wedding, but Zhao Xiaoyan happened to have time, so she came over to host Chen Ming and Yu Li's wedding.
Zhao Xiaoyan is now one of the ace hosts of Shanghai TV. She can be said to be very popular in Shanghai. In fact, because hosts of this era appear on TV every day, their popularity is no less than that of so-called film and television stars.
The wedding has actually entered a formal process now, and Wu Jianye is no longer needed.
Wu Jianye did not sit with Zhao Lei and others, but with the actors and directors from Shanghai Film Studio who came to attend the wedding.
As an actress at Shanghai Film Studio, Yu Li naturally has a lot of friends in the studio, but the real reason why Wu Jianye is sitting here is because there are his classmates here.
Jiang Xiaozhen, Wang Weixing, and Zhou Xinren, who are all from the Department of Fine Arts, as well as some students from the Department of Photography, Recording, and Directing, also came over!
"Old Wu, I didn't expect you and Yu Li's husband to know each other!" Jiang Xiaozhen sat next to Wu Jianye and asked curiously.
Because of his relationship with Yu Li, Chen Ming became famous in Shanghai Film Studio. After all, the rich in this period were a very rare breed, and Chen Ming was a famous rich man in Shanghai.
"It turns out that we already knew each other when we were in Yanjing!" Wu Jianye explained with a smile.
Jiang Xiaozhen and others knew that Chen Ming was from Yanjing, but they did not expect that the world was so small and that Wu Jianye was also related to Chen Ming.
Jiang Haiyang is a student in the directing department. In 1990, he directed "Nothing", which became one of the best-selling movies in the country that year.
"Old Wu, I heard that some time ago, your classmates from Yanjing held a party in Zhuxinzhuang!" Jiang Haiyang said with some envy: "If I had known, I would have gone there too. It's been a long time since we all had a party.
See you!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It was a last-minute idea at the time, but we have agreed that you must be present at the twenty-year reunion!"
Jiang Haiyang and others naturally had no objection and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely be there when the time comes!"
Wu Jianye looked around and asked, "Where's Zhang Jianya, why didn't I see him?"
Zhang Jianya is also a student of the 1978 directing department. The most famous film, "Sanmao Joins the Army", which is also the collective memory of the post-80s generation, was shot by him.
In Wu Jianye's view, Zhang Jianya is definitely an underrated director. The movie "San Mao Joins the Army" is a very excellent movie, and the shooting techniques in it will be a very classic work even in later generations.
"Hey, don't mention it, I'm currently working on his "San Mao's Army"!" Jiang Haiyang explained: "Everyone heard that you were coming over before, and they all thought about it, but who knew he was busy there?
He can't leave, by the way, he asked me to send you a message!"
In fact, whether Jiang Haiyang and others would come was a matter of doubt, but Wu Jianye called them before, and everyone came over as soon as they thought about it.
Wu Jianye asked: "What are you talking about?"
"The box office is high and low!" Jiang Haiyang said with a smile.
Wu Jianye laughed, and naturally understood what Zhang Jianya meant. Now that the movie "The Wandering Story of Sanmao" has reached the final stage of filming and is expected to be released this year, Zhang Jianya will naturally compete with Wu Jianye!
"Okay, I'll wait for him then!"
Now Wu Jianye is the benchmark among their classmates. Everyone wants to defeat Wu Jianye. Zhang Jianya naturally means this when he says this!
Wang Weixing asked from the side: "How long will you stay in Shanghai this time?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "In another two or three days, it will be almost done!"
Wang Weixing nodded and suggested: "Let's find a time in the next two days for everyone to get together!"
After all, today is the wedding of Chen Ming and Yu Li, and it’s hard for everyone to say anything, so what Wang Weixing meant was that everyone should find time to sit together.
Apparently they were also stimulated by the previous gathering of Wu Jianye and others in Yanjing.
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection to this and said with a smile: "Okay, you can just inform me of the time and place when the time comes!"
When the wedding was in the second half, Chen Ming found Wu Jianye and whispered.
"Brother, a big leader from the city is here. Do you want to meet him?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I'll forget it and let Zhou Tao and Yan Wen meet."
Chen Ming nodded. Zhou Tao and Yan Wen had always kept a low profile before, but they definitely had to show up today. Moreover, after letting the city leaders know about Chen Ming's relationship with Zhou Tao and Yan Wen, they had no idea about his work in Shanghai.
Development is also very beneficial.
As for Wu Jianye, he no longer needs to show his face in business. In fact, Wu Jianye doesn't want to cause too much trouble for himself.
If too many people know his true identity, then they will not be able to find Zhou Tao, Yanwen and the others, and they will have to bother him.
After the wedding, Wu Jianye returned directly to the Wu Family Garden, while Zhou Tao, Yan Wen and others were kindly retained by the city leaders in Shanghai.
However, the two of them have already made it clear that they will return directly to Xiangjiang tomorrow and will not stay in Shanghai for long. This also indirectly expresses their attitude.
As for the newlyweds Chen Ming and Yu Li, they will fly directly to Hawaii for vacation tomorrow!
"Brother, how is my hosting?" Sitting on the sofa at home, Zhao Xiaoyan asked with a smile while eating an apple without any image.
Wu Jianye rolled his eyes at her and said: "You are a dignified ace host of Shanghai TV. If you can't even do this well, I really have to ask you how you have been doing it all these years!"
Zhao Xiaoyan chuckled.
"By the way, how is Xiaofeng doing at school?" Wu Jianye asked.
Zhao Xiaofeng had already reported to the University of Edinburgh last month. In order to allow Zhao Xiaofeng to enter the University of Edinburgh, Wu Jianye donated 2 million US dollars to the university in the name of Yiwang Group, and found several financial experts for recommendations.
Let Zhao Xiaofeng enter the University of Edinburgh, but Wu Jianye did not tell Zhao Xiaofeng about this.
Zhao Xiaoyan complained: "Don't worry, she is doing well over there. I heard she made some good friends within a few days of going there!"
Wu Jianye warned: "There is no problem in making friends. Just tell her that if she makes any messy friends over there or learns any bad habits, I will have to deal with her!"
Although the University of Edinburgh is not as famous as Cambridge and Oxford, its finance major is also very well-known among universities around the world.
But no matter what, the life of students in foreign universities is still different from that in China. Wu Jianye is still a little worried, even though he was the one who suggested Zhao Xiaofeng study abroad.
Zhao Xiaoyan nodded and said, "I have already reminded her of this!"
"Yeah." Wu Jianye nodded, but still decided to let the people from the Yiwang Group in Scotland go and have a look if they had nothing to do.
In the afternoon, Jiang Haiyang called and arranged the party to tomorrow night. Wu Jianye had no objection to this and said that he would be there on time.
Nothing happened after that.
Under the leadership of Zhao Xiaoyan, Wu Jianye accompanied Zhu Xie and Wu Nianyi for a good stroll around Shanghai. By the time they came back, it was already evening!
At this time Yanwen was already waiting for them here.
When Wu Jianye saw Yan Wen, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you were going back tomorrow? Why are you here again at this time?"
Yan Wen explained: "I talked with the city leaders of Shanghai today. I have an idea now, but I'm a little unsure, so I wanted to come over and talk to you."
Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, poured some tea, and said with a smile, "What are your thoughts?"
"I plan to build a commercial building in Shanghai to serve as the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai!" Yan Wen said.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "That's okay. Xiangjiang is still too small. In the future, China will be one of your main battlefields. I agree with your idea."
"Where are you going to build it?" Wu Jianye asked again.
Yan Wen said in embarrassment: "Shanghai hopes to build it in Lujiazui, but the current situation in Lujiazui..."
Lujiazui was announced by the state in 1990 to develop Pudong in Shanghai, and the country's first national-level Lujiazui Financial District was established in Lujiazui.
The Oriental Pearl Tower has just begun construction.
It's just that the current situation in Lujiazui is still not as good as that in Puxi in Yanwen's opinion. However, the city's strong invitation makes Yanwen a little unsure.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Lujiazui, just Lujiazui, I'm very optimistic about it!"
Yan Wen saw that Wu Jianye had no objection to Lu Jiazui, so he put away his entanglement and said with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with the city leaders tomorrow!"
Wu Jianye asked: "How much are you prepared to invest?"
Now Wu Jianye rarely interferes with the specific affairs of the group!
Yan Wen replied: "Invest 100 million US dollars!"
After Wu Jianye listened, he shook his head.
Yanwen thought Wu Jianye felt that the investment was too high: "Brother, do you think 100 million U.S. dollars is too much? But Lujiazui has not yet developed, so 100 million U.S. dollars is already a lot?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's not less, it's not enough. Since we are going to do it, let's make it the largest. Yiwang Group is different from Yaoguang Group. Yaoguang Group already has an International Trade Center in Yanjing, plus
In the past few years, Land has been acquiring land in China, as well as other companies under Yaoguang Group, and Yaoguang Group has sufficient influence in the country."
"But Yiwang Group is much less popular. Now Yiwang Group can take advantage of this opportunity for Standard Chartered Bank to enter the country and establish its own brand effect."
"In my opinion, the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai can be built into the Yiwang Group's first domestic landmark building. In this case, US$100 million is not enough. At least US$800 million is needed to build it directly.
It will become the tallest building in Asia, which will also help to make a good advertisement for Standard Chartered Bank in the hearts of ordinary people!"
In fact, there is another reason, that is, the current land price is just a cabbage price for Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye is clearly aware of the future development of Lujiazui.
So now that he has this opportunity, Wu Jianye naturally doesn't want to give it up.
And Yan Wen was shocked when he heard that Wu Jianye wanted to invest 800 million U.S. dollars, which was a full eight times more than he had expected!
"If the city leaders of Shanghai know this news, they will definitely be very happy!" Yan Wen said with a smile.
In fact, the city leaders in Shanghai were really happy the next day after receiving Yan Wen's reply. In the past two years, Lujiazui has inspected many bank consortiums, but there are very few that are willing to actually invest.
What satisfies them most so far is the First Quanye Bank that introduced rb!
However, the other party did not invest US$800 million in one go like Standard Chartered Bank!
US$800 million can be said to be the largest investment Lujiazui has received so far.
There is no need to go into too much detail about his enthusiasm. The city leaders directly took out the planning map of Lujiazui and let Yan Wen pick a place at will.
Yan Wen followed Wu Jianye's instructions and surrounded a large piece of land near the Oriental Pearl Tower to build the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank.
Originally, the city leaders wanted to host a banquet for Yanwen in the evening, but Yanwen stated that he would return to Xiangjiang and implemented the matter.
At that time, people from Standard Chartered Bank will come and sign the agreement with Shanghai Municipality!
When the leaders of Shanghai and Hainan saw Yan Wen being so active, the last trace of worry in their hearts disappeared.
In the afternoon, Yan Wen, Zhou Tao and others flew directly back to Xiangjiang.
There was still some time before the evening party, and Wu Jianye originally wanted to study the script of his new movie.
The filming of "The World of Chu Xing" has been completed. Now in post-production, Wu Jianye only needs to regularly watch the editing by Zhao Le and others.
Although Wu Jianye told others that he wanted to take a rest, Wu Jianye became a little bored once this person was free.
And this time Wu Jianye's new movie no longer plans to plagiarize classic movies from later generations, but plans to create an original movie that completely belongs to him, Wu Jianye.
There are too many things involved in the new movie. The first is the issue of special effects. According to Wu Jianye's conception, there are even more special effects shots in the new movie than in the movie "Jurassic Park".
Huang Zilu had just graduated this year and was sent to study in the digital field by Wu Jianye. Next year, Huang Zilu will come back with a whole team of special effects talents who were sent to study in the digital field in the past two years.
And Wu Jianye's new movie will be their touchstone, and it will also be Wu Jianye's graduation film for them!
Then there is the matter of filming locations. Although part of the filming locations will be shot in Hengdian, there are still many outdoor scenes that need to be shot in other places. These are all troublesome.
In fact, the success of a movie is not just a few months of shooting or a few months of post-production.
The pre-preparation for every movie is also very tedious and has a huge impact on the movie itself.
Sometimes the selection of a movie can take several months or even more than a year.
Later, Feng Pants spent several years filming "1942". However, the handling of these matters does not necessarily have to be handled by the director himself. This is the matter of the directing team.
But for everything to be finalized, the director must give his nod.
When Wu Jianye was conceiving a new movie script, Zhu Xian walked in and said: "Pack it up, I'll see you there!"
Wu Jianye looked at his watch and saw that it was already six o'clock. It was indeed time for the party!
