Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"This is Boss Ying, and this is Old Song. You should have heard of them; they live in the courtyard next to yours."

Zhang Liangyu had indeed heard of all of the people Yang Jianguo introduced.

Not only did I hear that, but according to the rules, he should have called him "uncle".

They were all capable people of his father's generation, and now they are the backbone and leaders in their respective fields.

Both of them are pioneers in the cultural industry, and their abilities and connections are not an issue.

But one thing is missing.

money.

"Are you making a movie?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liangyu perked up.

With Li Aimin in charge of the domestic industries, we're not worried about Ma Degui causing any trouble with our cooperation.

Zhang Liangyu took some time to go for a good walk outside.

He really admires the entertainment industry on Jiangdao Island!

It's just that people are too hardworking and look down on us peasants. They think that anyone from the mainland is a nouveau riche.

Zhang Liangyu didn't want to be a nouveau riche.

For a film with an investment of 50, they asked for 200 million, and he could only take 4%.

They're treating people like idiots.

Zhang Liangyu returned, seething with anger. "What goes around comes around," she thought. "We'll see!"

He also had a pretty good grasp of how profitable the entertainment industry can be.

If we can actually film it, we're guaranteed to make money.

"It's not a movie, we plan to make a TV series that tells the story of ordinary people's lives and social changes."

"Liangyu, if you're interested, we can sit down and have a good chat another day."

Zhang Liangyu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'm personally quite interested."

We can't say anything definitive; we'll have to talk to find out the truth.

Since he had the opportunity, Zhang Liangyu felt he could recruit a few talented individuals and bring them back.

Those on Jiangdao Island who were frustrated and unsuccessful were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

In a mature market environment like Jiangdao, their talents would definitely not be enough.

But in an inland market like this, which is an enlightenment market, that would be a waste of talent.

These two people are capable, have connections, and have resources.

What we lack is money.

But for Zhang Liangyu, the last thing he lacks now is money.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Aimin came over and, seeing their lively chatter, wanted to join in.

Where there's a brother-in-law, there's business.

This is the experience that Li Aimin summarized for himself.

I must say, the summary was actually pretty good.

He arrived just in time, saving Yang Jianguo the trouble of calling him separately.

"We're talking about making a movie, a collaboration with the Beijing Film Studio."

Being invited here means you must know the host, Li Aimin.

Even if you don't know them, you should still greet them politely.

You shouldn't be a guest on someone else's turf!

Without Yang Jianguo even needing to invite him, Zhang Liangyu proactively smiled and said, "Aimin, are you interested in coming together?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Li Aimin laughed heartily.

Anyone who can make money will definitely be interested.

Besides, making movies is great, and he wants to promote a couple of movie stars to have some fun.

"Celebrities are great, I also want to promote a few celebrities."

Look at that star from Jiangdao, hehe~

The conversation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and several men huddled together with wicked grins on their faces.

Yingzi, whose gaze had been following him from afar, nudged Lou Xiao'e beside her with her elbow.

"Look, these men are definitely not talking about anything good."

Lou Xiao'e had actually seen it a long time ago, but she just didn't say anything.

He nodded in agreement and joked, "When men get together, how can they not talk about women?"

"Besides, those bosses travel all over the country."

That's absolutely true; it's precisely because we have more experience that we have more ideas.

In the past, for the poor, going to the county town was like going to heaven.

He's been telling everyone he meets about it for years, and every household envies him.

Let's not even talk about these things. You can't even imagine them if you've never seen them before. Where are you supposed to think of them?

To put it bluntly, it's called 'poverty limits imagination.'

"By the way, should we invite a celebrity from Jiangdao to make a cameo appearance?"

Li Aimin glanced at his secretary and said with a smile, "How about we find one in Baowan? Look how nice my translator is."

"No, boss, don't joke around. They're clearly working hard!"

Goodness, a whole set of "de la" came down.

The atmosphere became even more eerie.

If this hadn't happened in public, Yang Jianguo would have smacked him on the head.

What nonsense! Don't forget you have a wife and kids at home!

Yang Jianguo was genuinely worried that Li Aimin might be causing trouble outside.

The two had discussed this matter, and Li Aimin told him, "No."

Yang Jianguo can't keep bringing it up, or he should mention it to Yingzi another day.

Let her, as the eldest sister, have a good talk with Aimin.

Don't be fooled by how close Jianguo and his brother-in-law seem.

But when it comes to crucial moments, the one I can confide in is my eldest sister, who is related to me by blood.

"Alright, let's talk about filming privately."

"I have something else to ask. Does anyone have connections with Hans the Cat?"

Yang Jianguo wanted to buy a production line from Hanscat, but he himself did not have any connections in this regard.

It should be said that there were no connections outside of official channels.

However, this time he didn't want to go through official channels.

Because this production line was bought for Loongson, it's just self-deception.

“I have a classmate who has connections in this area; he studied at Hans Cat’s house.”

Zhang Liangyu provided a connection: one of his classmates was studying at Hanscat's.

Classmate relationships are one of the three most important bonds in life.

Besides, it's not like I'm asking someone for a favor or paying for something. It's much better to make a profit from something like this.

"Help me get in touch with them, and call me when you have any news."

With telephones, it's so much more convenient to stay in touch now; all you need to do is leave a number.

In two more years, the big mobile phone should be here.

The higher-ups are discussing which department should lead the Information Technology Department.

The Ministry of Works is also trying to secure funding, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will be established soon, and then all postal and telecommunications services will be under its jurisdiction.

Back then, when infrastructure projects were being carried out, Yang Jianguo would present a large gift to the top leaders.

The research institute has put in a lot of effort over the years, and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

However, many technologies are not mature enough or too costly to be widely adopted.

It's the same as the one at the Academy of Sciences.

The technology exists, but there's no way to monetize it.

Things are much better now. After licensing the technology to Loongson, we have a channel to monetize it externally.

Yang Jianguo's strict control over the licensing standards for technology has earned the approval of top experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The profits generated then satisfied the needs of the management.

It can be said that both parties are satisfied; if anything is missing, it's that there wasn't enough money.

But there's no way around it; many seemingly basic technologies are sensitive.

Yang Jianguo directly marked it as "confidential" and personally went to the Academy of Sciences to explain.

Why are these fundamental technologies classified as 'secret'?

The value of the subsequent expansion and extension of this technology, and its importance to our country.

Especially those technologies that take a different path from those abroad.

This is practically a ready-made "icebreaker," so how can we delegate it to someone else to pick up the pieces?

In the future, people will use our own technology to restrict our own development.

Is this even reasonable?!

Whether he liked it or not, Yang Jianguo explained the problem so clearly.

Since we've already said all that, we absolutely can't show it.

The person who used to say "it's better to buy than to make" has now disappeared in front of him.

Knowing full well that Yang Jianguo disliked him, he still managed to snatch away all the benefits Yang Jianguo wanted.

There's no point in going against him anymore, mainly because we can't beat him anyway.

Yang Jianguo himself doesn't wield much power these days, but he acts like a lever.

The forces it can leverage are too great, and the scope it involves is too wide.

Especially when going to the capital for meetings, it not only reaches the ears of the emperor directly, but that person is actually staying in the Heavenly Palace!

He spoke eloquently and logically about several important economic trends.

They left a deep impression in the imperial city and are increasingly valued.

We didn't give him any more burdens because he already has enough on his shoulders.

I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it if I add more, and besides, the reform is too important.

As long as I can handle this part well, I dare not say I will be remembered in history.

At least in the area of ​​reform and opening up.

The name Yang Jianguo definitely deserves special attention.

How could he possibly lack motivation given the recognition and demands that come with such an honor?
