Chapter 664 Just do it(2/2)

"Old Xie said he wanted to thank me. This is a long way to go. We are old friends.

I have not been involved in the drama work of movies in recent years. His movies are short of money and I just can do my best.

It is normal for human nature to cooperate no matter how hard it is.

The most important thing is that Lao Xie has the responsibility of an artist. The films he made are not only for entertainment, but also for responsibility.

This is the case with "The Battle of Red Cliffs", this is the case with "The Opium War", and this time filming "Rabe Diary".

Nanjing--"

Lin Chaoyang took a deep breath and said loudly:

"More than 60 years ago, China was poor and weak, Japanese invaders invaded China, Jiuzhou was in turmoil, and its territory was declining, which shocked the whole world.

Three hundred thousand compatriots were brutally slaughtered. In the winter of 1937, the sun and moon in Nanjing were gone, and blood stained the sky.

We want to make this movie not to prove anything, but to let the spirits of the 300,000 victims watch it, and we have not forgotten them.

We must also tell our younger generations that we dare not forget this history, nor can we forget it.

Forgot history means betrayal.”

Lin Chaoyang's speech was truly conveyed to every reporter's ears, passionate and deaf.

Thunderous applause sounded at the press conference. If the reporters were just excited after Xie Jin finished speaking, then the reporters are now excited.

Some reporters were even tearful and misty, and a sacred and solemn atmosphere was created at this moment.

Not only the reporters, but also Xie Jin was excited. He was like being injected with chicken blood, and he first hugged Lin Chaoyang.

He grabbed the microphone again and said emotionally: "Chaoyang's words are encouragement, encouragement, and trust. My colleagues and I must make this movie a shocking and artistic masterpiece that will be passed down to later generations, so that such human tragedy will no longer be reproduced."

The applause at the press conference became warm again and reached its peak. The launch conference of "Rabe Diary" achieved unprecedented success and became a major domestic TV station and newspaper.

But before leaving, Lin Chaoyang still told Xie Jin not to work too hard and cherish her health. Unfortunately, Xie Jin was already inspired by him to fight.

There are only four words in the eyes:

Just do it!

Leaving from Hengdian, Lin Chaoyang did not return to Yanjing, but went to Xiangjiang for a walk.

After leaving Hong Kong for more than two years, on the surface, there is almost no change in Hong Kong. The impact of the Asian financial crisis has gradually dissipated, but in fact it is not the case.

Xiangjiang won the battle for financial defense, but it only won a terrible victory. The stock market recovered some vitality, but the real estate market fell into a downturn.

From 1991 to 1997, the housing prices in Xiangjiang, which were already not low, rose 4 times in six years, and it became a trend for citizens to speculate in housing.

At the most exaggerated time, the average housing supply burden ratio for Xiangjiang citizens is as high as 93.2%, that is, a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is required to pay 9,320 yuan for housing.

Such a serious overdraft, without external force support, is destined to be unable to maintain it.

So when the financial crisis came, the Xiangjiang property market had plunged into the abyss, with both house prices and transaction volume falling by more than 50%.

The real estate market is one of the lifebloods of Xiangjiang's economy and a key factor that must be saved.

The "85,000" plan was cancelled and the original land supply plan was frozen. The Hong Kong government issued a series of policies to support the real estate market, but the results were not very effective.

In order to reduce the dependence of the Hong Kong economy on the property market, the Hong Kong government has also been planning a major move since last year.

Mr. Dong, the leader of the SAR, publicly stated in his speech: "Xangjiang should become the world's leading city in the development and application of information technology, especially in the development of electronic commerce and software."

Mr. Dong or the Hong Kong government's forward-looking industry has attracted the interest of many wealthy people in Xiangjiang, including the second son of the Li family and Tao Yushu.

In this life, the second son of the Li family sold Star TV in advance and made a billion in one move. He was so proud of him for a while.

It’s a pity that Tao Yushu made Starry Sky TV’s business prosperous. After that gust of sensation, the outside world was talking about the second son of the Li family who picked up sesame seeds and went to watermelon.

Later, he founded Yingke Group and went public through a backdoor listing in Singapore, taking the high-tech route, and the popularity was far less than that of later generations.

He suggested to Mr. Dong to build a "Xiangjiang Silicon Valley" and to establish a technology incubation park that integrates industry, academia and research. It was highly praised by Mr. Dong, but in the end the errand fell on Tao Yushu.

The reason is also very simple. Tao Yushu promised to invest $2 billion in real money to build a Cyberport project.

Regardless of the character of the second son of the Li family, Cyberport's idea is indeed very insightful, and the Hong Kong government is also very optimistic about this project.

But the problem is that the Hong Kong government was affected by the double decline in the stock market and the real estate market. In 1998, GDP grew negatively by 5.8%, and fiscal revenue fell sharply.

I can't invest in such a large project.

The government was unwilling to pay the money. The second son of the Li family originally planned to eat it again. He cooperated with his father's Changjiang Industry to eat this big cake, but he didn't expect that he would be slutty by Tao Yushu.

The Li family and son are rich, and Tao Yushu is rich. The key is that they hold Asia Pacific News and Pixar Animation, both high-tech companies listed on the Nasdaq stock market in the US.

It is not worse than money; in terms of the high-tech strength of its industries, Tao Yushu is better; in terms of its relationship with the top leaders in the mainland, Tao Yushu is even better than the Li family father and son.

Taking into account comprehensively, the Hong Kong government chose to cooperate with Tao Yushu without any hesitation.

The Asia-Pacific News Network and Pixar Animation jointly established a Cyberport development company, which was established by the Cyberport Development Company, the Hong Kong government was released, and the two parties cooperated together to adopt the PPP model, and the bidding procedures were directly omitted.

In the announcement released to the public, the Hong Kong government gave full reasons: Even if the bid is open, the Lin family is the most suitable target at present.

Because in the large business community in Xiangjiang, almost no company has the will, vision and ability to develop technology than Lin.

Public tender will undoubtedly waste a lot of time and will delay the development of Cyberport.

However, Asia Pacific News has just been listed for less than a year and its annual revenue is only 10 million US dollars. Pixar Animation has some assets, but the $2 billion investment is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the two companies.

The two companies could not afford so much money at all, so they successively raised targeted financing in the US stock market, raising nearly $900 million in funds, which was able to leverage the Cyberport project.

In May 1999 just passed, the Asia-Pacific Cyberport, with a total investment of HK$16 billion, was officially launched.

The Hong Kong government provided the Steel Wire Bay plot to Asia Pacific News as the base of Cyberport, which was originally the place where the British Big East Telegraph Office laid telegraph cables.

In the 1980s, the British Hong Kong government reclaimed the land at Steel Wire Bay, and the land was lost for more than ten years. This time, the Cyberport project was launched, which was huge in scale. The Steel Wire Bay plot is one of the few places that meet the requirements in Hong Kong.

The entire plot covers an area of ​​24 hectares. The Hong Kong government exempted the land price of HK$7.8 billion and invested HK$1 billion to build municipal infrastructure. The remaining construction costs will be borne by Asia Pacific News.

Unlike the second son of the Li family who speculated on land under the name of "technology", Lin sincerely wanted to develop high-tech after getting the Cyberport project.

After obtaining the consent of the Hong Kong government, Asia Pacific News did not use local enterprises in Xiangjiang, but instead introduced Shanghai Lujiazui Development Company and China Construction Eighth Bureau.

Both of these are the vanguards in the development of Pudong. If there are good things, Tao Yushu will naturally have to think about his own people.

In the planning of Asia Pacific News Network, Cyberport, with a total investment of HK$16 billion, includes 6 smart office buildings, 1 five-star hotel, 1 research institute and diversified supporting facilities.

Asia Pacific News Network, which uses wholly-owned construction as its equity, will eventually enjoy 30 years of operation and management rights of Cyberport, while the Hong Kong government, which uses land and infrastructure as its equity, will enjoy ownership of all properties and supporting facilities.

In 1999, the Internet technology boom was in the process, and the Cyberport project made a splash as soon as it was launched.
