The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

Ye Jinyan listened intently, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the sofa armrest, her eyes growing brighter:

"Teacher Han's words have truly given this project its soul."

The problem of "all restaurants looking the same" that I was worried about has suddenly been solved.

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a Montblanc pen, and quickly jotted down a few notes in his notebook:

"If we follow this approach, what suggestions does Professor Han have regarding the location of these first batch of pilot venues?"

After a moment's thought, Han Tao calmly replied, "I suggest we start with the large residential areas that Jingyan Group has already delivered."

These communities have high occupancy rates and diverse populations, including seniors, young families, and entrepreneurs.

We will create a "flagship model store" centered around one of the communities with high foot traffic, and then quickly replicate and iterate it based on feedback.

"Okay!" Ye Jinyan nodded and made a decisive decision. "Secretary Fan, arrange for Teacher Han to visit the Emerald Bay and Star River Clouds projects as soon as possible."

Fan Jingang smiled and nodded: "Understood. I'll arrange for someone to schedule it first thing tomorrow morning. I'll fully cooperate with Teacher Han and coordinate the time."

"Thank you for your help, Secretary Fan." Han Tao nodded without hesitation: "President Ye, it's settled then."

When I get home today, I'll put together a preliminary research framework and send it to Secretary Fan's email later. Please take a look when you have time.

  

Ye Jinyan's eyes were full of anticipation. He gestured to Fan Jingang to refill the tea. "No problem. I look forward to your plan being implemented."

However, Ms. Han, I like to put things out in advance.

"With your wealth, you probably don't care, but since you're leading this cultural initiative for the group, I won't let you or your school's faculty and student team work for nothing."

Han Tao picked up his teacup, his expression calm: "President Ye, you're too kind. Being able to participate in this project and do something practical for this city is a reward in itself."

Moreover, this is a rather challenging project, and a rare opportunity for them.

"Teacher Han has a broad perspective, but the necessary rules cannot be ignored." Ye Jinyan nodded and made a decision.

"The planning fee will be based on the highest market standard, and I will have Fan Jingang urge the group's legal department to finalize the contract as soon as possible."

If the subsequent plan is implemented, Jingyan Group will also specially hire you as the cultural consultant for this project, with a separate consulting fee.

Fan Jingang knew that Han Tao certainly wasn't short of money, but rules are rules, so he quickly added from the side:

"Mr. Han, President Ye always acts in accordance with the rules, whether in personal matters or with business partners. Please don't refuse."

Han Tao pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Since President Ye is so sincere, it would be pretentious for me to refuse. Okay, I'll take this project and the consulting work."

"Then it's settled." Ye Jinyan took a document from the drawer, returned to the sofa, and sat down again.

"Teacher Han, now let's talk about the eight million shares of Jingyan Group stock you hold..."

Han Tao paused, holding his teacup, and looked up at Ye Jinyan, saying:

"I did acquire some shares through the secondary market, but it was purely for personal investment and had no other purpose."

Ye Jinyan smiled and pushed a pre-prepared document over:

"Teacher Han, Jingyan's circulating shares are not small. Eight million shares is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either."

But to quietly accumulate so much without alerting institutional investors—that kind of vision and patience is something most ordinary investors don't possess.

He tapped his fingertips on the document: "To be honest, I had Fan Jingang check these transactions."

"Is Mr. Han still so optimistic about Jingyan Group at this time because he believes Jingyan's stock price is undervalued?"

"The company under President Ye's leadership has a solid foundation," Han Tao said bluntly.

"I have studied Jingyan's financial statements for the past five years and have also reviewed the details of its land reserves and the project payment cycles."

Now they've taken on a renovation project for the old city area. If this project is successful, it will be a new growth driver.

Therefore, from an investment perspective, this is a worthwhile deal.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyan's eyes revealed a hint of being recognized and appreciated. "Haha, I thank Teacher Han for his recognition."

But we both know perfectly well that while eight million shares aren't enough to sway decision-making, they're enough to secure a seat at the shareholders' meeting.

At this point, he leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming increasingly serious: "Why don't we speak frankly and openly?"

Jingyan will hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting next week to discuss the financing plan for the next quarter.

I had Fan Jingang check, and the number of shares you hold just meets the threshold for the right to make a proposal.

Teacher Han, instead of letting capital pursue profits, it's better to let those who truly understand the industry get involved.

I especially resonated with what you just mentioned about "embedding career development resources" when you talked about community libraries.

Jingyan has over twenty apartment projects, mostly housing recent graduates and young professionals. "If only we could bring your career planning classes to the community library..."

"Does Mr. Ye mean to use these eight million shares as a stepping stone for 'industry-academia-research' collaboration?"

Han Tao laughed, "This is much more interesting than simply transferring shares."

If that's the case, I voluntarily convert my eight million shares of Jingyan circulating stock into restricted shares at the current stock price, with a lock-up period of three years.

During the lock-up period, the voting rights of the shares will be entrusted to Mr. Ye Jinyan, on the condition that the Jingyan Community Library project must establish a "Career Development Service Station" and receive continuous support from the faculty and students of Shanghai University.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ye Jinyan's eyes, which quickly turned into deep agreement:

"Haha, Mr. Han, your move is far more sophisticated than simply being a financial investor."

As he spoke, he looked at Fan Jingang beside him and instructed, "Secretary Fan, have the legal department draft a contract based on this content and send it to Teacher Han's office first thing tomorrow morning."

"Understood, I'll have Xiao Wang and the others put together the basic framework first!"

Fan Jingang nodded, planning to have the assistant in the president's office draft a contract template later.

"Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Fan." Han Tao smiled and then looked at Ye Jinyan.

"Since it's a collaboration, I have one more condition: Mr. Ye must personally attend the first open class at the career service station."

"Oh? Teacher Han, is there any special meaning behind this?" Ye Jinyan raised an eyebrow.

"I'll talk about 'What pitfalls I encountered on my journey from a new employee to the president of a group'."

Han Tao smiled frankly, "Your experience is much more vivid than the theories in textbooks."

Ye Jinyan nodded after listening and laughed loudly: "Okay, I accept this condition."

However, Professor Han must promise me that in the future, outstanding talents from your school should think more about Jingyan Group.

"That's natural, and I think we can further deepen our cooperation..."

Han Tao then took over the conversation and offered some of his own thoughts and suggestions.

Fan Jingang listened quietly from the side, skillfully pushing the freshly brewed hot tea gently in front of the two of them, the aroma of the tea rising gently.

He would occasionally nod in agreement at the right moment, and interject with a few words to smooth things over, without disrupting the rhythm of the conversation, and making the atmosphere more harmonious.
