They surrounded me right after the breakup.

With Shan Yichun's defection, the chain of evidence regarding the Jiang family has been further strengthened.

In business, Chiang Kuan Yew was surrounded on all sides and had no chance of making a comeback.

Now all we need to do is wait for the court hearing.

Jianghan was not idle.

He sat in his office all day.

The map was spread out on the desk.

The contour lines are densely packed.

He circled several places with a red pen.

Shen Qingning pushed the door open and came in.

Holding a cup of coffee, steam rising from the rim.

She put the cup on the table and glanced at the map covered with red circles.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

"Find a place."

"What place are you looking for?"

Jiang Han put down his pen and leaned back in his chair.

"Land for building a film and television city."

"I was going through project plans today and came across the set design for 'The Wandering Earth'."

"Guo Fan wants to build a real planetary engine set, at least 20 meters high. The existing studio is not enough, so we have to build one on the spot."

Shen Qingning picked up her coffee, took a sip herself, and sat down next to him.

Her long, beautiful legs, encased in black stockings, were naturally brought together.

"Just build it on the spot, that's what film crews do."

Jiang Han shook his head and turned the map around.

"What's being recycled is the land."

"If the land is mine, and the shed is mine, then I'll collect rent."

Shen Qingning blinked and stared at him for a long while.

"You want to seize land?!"

Jiang Han smiled and shared his thoughts.

"How much are house prices in Jingzhou now? 3 yuan per square meter is the absolute maximum."

"If we wait another two or three years, prices will at least double. By then, let alone buying a house, we'll have to grit our teeth to even rent a shack."

Shen Qingning put down her cup and stared at the red circle on the map.

"These places are all in the suburbs, and the closest one is nearly 20 kilometers away from the city center."

"Who will go to see the film and television city we build?"

"We don't need tourists."

Jiang Han pulled out another piece of paper, which was densely covered with numbers.

Investment amounts for film projects in the next few years, estimated set construction costs, and daily rental rates for existing sound stages.

Although the film and television industry will eventually face a downturn.

However, judging from the timeline, since "The Wandering Earth" has not been released yet, it means that there are still at least a few years to go.

The reason why no one goes to the movies later is not because the audience's entertainment habits have changed.

Instead, they've been fooled too many times by famous directors and popular celebrities, and they're too scared to go.

I spend money and time going to the cinema to watch electronic garbage.

Isn't it just pure suffering?

However, on Earth, this situation might change due to the emergence of Jianghan.

He picked up the landline phone from the table.

"Have one person from the project department, legal department, and finance department."

Shen Qingning stood up, walked behind him, and crossed her arms.

The three people arrived quickly, entering the room one after the other.

Jiang Han pointed to the red circle on the map and got straight to the point.

"Xingyue Media is preparing to acquire land in the western suburbs of Jingzhou to build a film and television city."

"A film studio plus a post-production center, plus a hotel."

The project manager paused for a moment, then instinctively replied.

"Chairman Jiang, we've never done real estate development before."

"Find a professional team for construction; we're only responsible for providing the design and funding."

The legal department staff opened their notebooks, their pens already poking at the paper.

"If the land use involves the conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural, the approval process will take at least six months."

"Go through the process ahead of time."

"Coordinate with the land and resources department and the planning department, and compile a list of relevant documents before the end of today's workday."

"clear."

The person from the finance department leaned forward slightly.

"With the box office revenue sharing from 'Ne Zha' plus copyright income, the overall funds are sufficient."

"But liquidity will be tight in the short term after the project is built."

Jiang Han picked up his pen again and stated his plan directly.

"The studio specifications are based on the hardware standards of Pine Forest Studios."

"The first batch includes 6 medium-sized studios, 2 large studios, and a post-production center."

"The supporting hotel is located next to the production center, solving the accommodation and transportation needs of the film crew."

After giving their instructions, the three of them left one after the other.

The office fell silent again.

Shen Qingning peeked out from behind Jiang Han.

"You just mentioned a studio size reference. Do domestic films really need a studio this big?"

"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future."

"The existing film studios around Jingzhou are not tall enough, do not have enough load-bearing capacity, and lack adequate supporting facilities."

"We can't shoot special effects films, we think period dramas are too expensive, and we can't afford to rent web series."

"I build high-standard film studios; others can't use them, but I can use them; others can use them, and I can collect rent from them."

Within Xingyue Media, the news spread faster than expected.

In less than half a day.

Everyone in the department knew that the chairman personally pushed for the land acquisition and construction of a film and television city project.

Meanwhile, at the Jingzhou branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, in the president's office.

As President Liu was reviewing the quarterly credit reports, the landline on his desk rang.

Internal line number, from the private banking department.

"Manager, Manager Qiu just submitted a letter of intent for project financing."

"What project?"

"Xingyue Media plans to build a film and television city in the western suburbs of Jingzhou. The total investment, including land acquisition and infrastructure construction, will be substantial."

President Liu tucked the landline between his ear and shoulder, freeing his hand to flip through the folders on the table.

"Where is Qiu Siyao?"

"Just left the conference room, should still be on the same floor."

"Quick! Bring her over right now."

When Qiu Siyao pushed the door open, she was still holding the asset allocation plan that she hadn't had time to put back at her workstation.

President Liu pointed to the chair opposite him.

Have you discussed the Star Moon Film City project with General Manager Jiang?

We chatted for a bit.

Qiu Siyao placed the documents on her lap.

"From an asset allocation perspective, Mr. Jiang's investment logic has always been very clear."

"This film and television city project, on the surface, is real estate, but in reality, it is betting on the infrastructure gap in the upstream of the industry over the next five to ten years."

Without hesitation, President Liu closed his notebook.

"Come on, come with me to Xingyue Media."

Qiu Siyao was slightly taken aback.

"Now?"

"Yes! Right now."

Twenty minutes later, the black Mercedes stopped downstairs at Xingyue Media.

President Liu took his briefcase from the back seat and glanced at Qiu Siyao.

"Manager Qiu, you are the star of today's visit."

The receptionist had already been notified and led the person directly into the chairman's office.

Jiang Han stood up from behind his desk and shook hands with President Liu.

Qiu Siyao walked over to him and briefly explained the purpose of Director Liu's visit.

Jiang Han pointed to the sofa: "Sit."

After sitting down, President Liu didn't beat around the bush.

He opened the folder and pushed it over.

The first page is a letter of intent for a fixed asset loan.

The second page contains the interest rate calculation table.

The third page contains the repayment plan.

The entire plan was designed very clearly.

"Mr. Jiang, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is willing to provide special loan support for your company's film and television city project."

"The interest rate will be 15 basis points lower than the LPR benchmark for the same period."

"The collateral is the project land itself; no additional third-party guarantee is required."

"The loan term can be up to five years, and the repayment method is interest first, then principal, with the principal repaid in a lump sum at maturity."

He paused for a moment, then pulled another A4 sheet of paper from his briefcase.

"This is a special interest rate that we applied for from the head office."

"Only provided to projects led by President Jiang."

There were only a few lines of handwritten text on the A4 paper.

The special approved annualized interest rate is lower than the one calculated in the table above, and the corresponding amount of annual interest saved is also marked next to it.

Jiang Han glanced at it briefly.

I realized it was true what they said: banks like to lend to people who don't lack money.

"Our company has enough cash on hand and does not need financing."

"If there's a real shortage, I'll just pay for it myself."
