"Jeonju is also a famous ancient city with thousands of years of history. It was the birthplace of ancient Baekje and the Joseon Dynasty. Even today, the Lee family still lives in Jeonju."
Jeonju Mayor Jeonju Jeon Jeon was introducing Tang Jinyan's delegation. "There are historical sites everywhere in Jeonju. It's a natural history museum."
Tang Jinyan was quite happy that the mayor of Jeonju happened to have the surname Jeon.
Tang Jinyan was not interested in Jeonju's history that Jeon Jeonju was bragging about.
Thousands of years of history was just that. Korea had no history to brag about. It was only the Koreans who thought they had some value.
However, the ancient Korean houses that were preserved in Jeonju were quite valuable tourist attractions. The so-called "Hanwu Village" project had been in place for a long time. This time, he was not asked to build the Korean houses. Instead, he was asked to do maintenance and peripheral facilities around the scenic spot.
In fact, if Tang Jinyan had not used Lee Yuan's connections to pressure him, this project would have been given to someone else long ago.
What he wanted was very clear. Hanwu Village was related to the status of the entire Jeonju. If he could get involved, it would be very beneficial to his position and power.
As for the long-term benefits of the investment, that was secondary.
"Don't worry, Mayor Jeon. Tang Dynasty Company and New Village Group are both enterprises dedicated to cultural undertakings. We have done some research on Hanwu Village in your city. I believe that this project will perfectly fit the City Hall's intentions."
"If Chairman Tang says so, then it's naturally persuasive."
Jeon Jeon Jeon's words were sincere. "Whether it's Tang Dynasty Film City or Gaoyang's Chinatown, they all highlight Chairman Tang's cultural foundation and attitude of striving for excellence.
To be honest, everyone in Jeonju welcomes Chairman Tang's willingness to invest in the construction of Jeonju. "
Tang Jinyan thought to himself that it was an unintentional stroke of luck. His development trajectory was completely related to culture, and it was very classical. With such foreshadowing from before, this trip to Quanzhou was almost tailor-made for him.
It could be imagined that the direction of his future development had been determined. It could not be separated from the cultural category.
In other words, his big ship's route was very clear.
As a historical city, Jeonju was quite particular about the so-called cultural arts. It was one of the more prominent cultural arts cities in South Korea. Symphony orchestras, folk orchestras, opera troupes, and other cultural organizations were very abundant in Jeonju. There were also many corresponding art halls.
This time, it was not a new stadium, but an old theater.
This kind of project was also a project that the City Hall wanted to make a profit from. Other than the companies that wanted to make a profit from the project, there were not many big enterprises like Tang Jinyan who were willing to do this kind of project. The amount of profit from the project was not enough to cover their expenses, so they could only make a profit.
If it were Li Fuzhen, he would most likely scoff at the idea. Only Tang Jinyan, who wanted to build his own cultural image, would be excited about it.
Of course, outsiders did not know that Tang Jinyan was in high spirits. Quan Shengji still flattered him with a guilty conscience, hoping that Tang Jinyan could invest.
After all, investing in such a well-known company was different from investing in other construction companies for the sake of getting projects. It could even be used as a mayor's political achievement.
"Regarding the cultural theater, I wonder what President Tang thinks …"
"If the old cultural theater is renamed as the Tang Cultural Theater, our company can consider increasing the investment. Not only will it be completely renovated, but we will also buy the interior and seats."
"This …"
"Mayor Quan, I think this is a very reasonable request."
Quan Shengji said helplessly, "President Tang, have you ever thought about the feeling of the capital being occupied by the Tang Dynasty?"
"Oh?"
Tang Jinyan was stunned and laughed involuntarily. "Mayor, you have a rich imagination. Now that you say it, I'm even more interested."
"It's not a problem to name it as the New Village Theater."
"For the Hanwu Village and the cultural theater project, I'm representing the Tang Dynasty Company, not the New Village Group.
The Tang Dynasty Company specializes in tourism, while the New Village Group only undertakes construction. Mayor Quan, you have to be clear about this.
You can't just allocate it casually just because it's my company. The company's board of directors will rebel. "
Li Yuan laughed at the side. "What Tang Dynasty? Our Li Family did not even consider such sensitive considerations. Mayor Quan, you're overthinking."
Quan Shengji thought to himself that the Li Family could not represent the will of the people. However, this was a very good excuse. The Li Family's ancestors did not care about this, so why should others care?
"Since Mr. Li said so, our Quan Province will not be too rigid."
Tang Jinyan thought for a moment and turned to Li Zhiguo beside him. "Big brother, what do you think?"
Li Zhiguo shook his head. "Let's not talk about the theater. Even in the Hanwu Village, the profits are not very visible.
If we do it, the investment will be different from other companies in order to protect our reputation. I think we'll have to pay for it. "
Quan Shengji wanted this reputation and quality. Hearing this, he quickly said, "The City Hall will do its best to support this."
Tang Jinyan said casually, "Find a suitable piece of land and do some real estate development … I think it's a good project to support the Hanwu Village. The villas can be made into the template of ancient Hanwu houses. There should be some market."
Quan Shengji was stunned. He thought to himself that these businessmen's brain worked fast. This project sounded a little feasible. After thinking for a while, he said, "The City Hall will look into it."
Li Yuan also felt that it was a little interesting. He smiled and said, "If President Tang wants to do this, don't forget to bring me along."
Tang Jinyan laughed. "That's my wish."
Even Li Zhiguo, who was standing at the side, could feel Crow's cancer of awkwardness.
When he saw Tang Jinyan slashing people on the streets, if someone had told Li Zhiguo that Tang Jinyan would have such an image in the future, Li Zhiguo would have thought that person was crazy.
After leaving the Hanwu Village, Tang Jinyan looked at his watch and said, "Since there's still time, let's go to the Cultural Theater to take a look."
Quan Shengji led the way and introduced, "This time, they're planning to renovate the Jeonbuk Art Hall. It's been a long time. Countless art groups have performed here for many years. It's also a symbol of art in the hearts of the citizens of Jeonbuk. It's just that the buildings and facilities are all outdated now. It's a pity …"
When they arrived, they saw an old-fashioned theater. The mottled building gave off a sense of vicissitudes and decay. Tang Jinyan felt that this place itself represented a kind of culture.
In fact, even if it was renovated, the Cultural Theater would not make any profits in this era. The local government officials obviously wanted to protect and develop it for their political achievements and reputation. But even so, they were already considered good officials. At least, they were not just looking for economic figures.
A group of people stood outside and looked at it while talking.
There were also many citizens around. After asking around, they found out that the mayor had invited a big company to inspect the theater and decided to renovate it. Many of the old people were very excited.
A girl came out from the crowd and bowed to Quan Shengji. Her smile was full of surprise. "Thank you, Mayor Quan. This is really a good deed."
After that, she turned to Tang Jinyan. "Please take care of me, Chairman Tang."
"…" Tang Jinyan looked at the girl's face and really wanted to kick it.
Shouldn't you be in Seoul preparing to release your new album?
What are you doing here?
If you have nothing to do, can't you just go home and sell glasses?
You even look like you represent the people's thoughts. Do you think you're a representative of the People's Congress or a member of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference?
