Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 229 Development Layout

"I have a few tasks to explain next."

Everyone in the meeting room picked up their pens, ready to take notes.

"First are General Manager Zhao and General Manager Xu."

The company is growing rapidly, and this office space is becoming insufficient.

Mr. Xu must have some connections in the real estate industry after developing the cinema chain over the years.

I need you and General Manager Zhao to find a more spacious office space for the company.

Lieyang Investment, Xingmeng Digital Entertainment, and Xingyun Video will also move into the new office space in the future.

The company currently has nearly 20 billion yuan in cash on hand. My idea is to take it one step at a time and sell an office building instead of renting.

Housing prices are rising rapidly right now, and they will be even more alarming in two years, so it is more advantageous to buy office buildings as early as possible.

Mr. Zhao is in charge of overall planning and internal needs research, while Mr. Xu uses his resources to find suitable properties, preferably in core business districts or emerging technology parks, with convenient transportation and space to accommodate expansion for the next three to five years.

This task is urgent, and I hope that by the time I return from Los Angeles next year, the company will have moved into its new office building.

Zhao Qi and Xu Liang nodded in acceptance.

"Next up are Lin Wei and Chen Mo."

I plan to spin off the artist and music departments next year to establish independent artist management and music production companies.

As soon as Fu Yibai said this, Lin Wei and Chen Mo sat up straight at the same time, and the others also looked up, their eyes filled with surprise and contemplation.

"To become independent?"

Lin Wei spoke first, her tone somewhat uncertain.

"Mr. Fu, you mean...?"

"Literal meaning."

Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"From now on, Chenxi Media will focus on film and television production. Its artist management and music production businesses are already large enough, and spinning them off will be more conducive to its development."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"The new company is still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chenxi, but it operates independently."

The two pondered for a few seconds, then nodded in acceptance.

"Okay, that's basically it. The selection and purchase of the office building is of utmost importance. General Manager Zhao and General Manager Xu need to push it forward as soon as possible."

Lin Wei and Chen Mo can start preparing a plan for independent operation, including team structure, financial model, and business plan. I need to see the preliminary report early next month.

After Fu Yibai finished speaking, the conference room was quiet for a moment, with only the scratching sound of pens on paper.

He looked around, his gaze finally settling on the darkening sky outside the window, and added.

"The company is at a critical juncture in its development, and every step is crucial to the future."

You are all the core strength of Dawn, and I believe you can do a good job.

Before the meeting adjourns, does anyone have any questions?

Xu Liang raised his hand: "President Fu, regarding the purchase of the office building, is there a more specific budget range?"

"Keep it under 8 million; this way, it won't affect the company's development."

Currently, the price of housing in Beijing's core business district is roughly between 25,000 and 30,000 yuan per square meter.

8 million yuan can buy an office building of nearly 3 square meters, which would be more than 20 stories high and enough for all of Chenxi Group's companies to move in.

"clear."

Fu Yibai nodded and stood up.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Thank you all for your hard work. Let's keep up the good work next year!

Everyone stood up, and the conference room was filled with the rustling sound of people packing up their things.

January 1st, New Year's Day.

Fu Yibai received a call from Han Shanping; the extension key application had been approved.

It will be extended by one month and will be taken off the screens in early February.

The news attracted considerable attention after it was announced within the industry.

Those in the industry know that "Gravity" is really aiming for a 10 billion yuan box office this time.

Everyone was filled with mixed emotions as they prepared to witness this box office miracle.

After handling some work at the company, Fu Yibai arrived at Gao Yuanyuan's house at 7 p.m.

Gao Yuanyuan had no work scheduled before the Lunar New Year. Although she is no longer slacking off, she still doesn't get many film offers each year.

She spends most of her time resting, traveling, and even opened a flower shop.

Fu Yibai had previously suggested that she sign up for Chenxi, but she refused.

He stopped mentioning it after that.

He felt that Gao Yuanyuan was doing well now, happy every day, doing what she liked, and enjoying life. She was more relaxed and at ease than many artists in the industry who were constantly on the go.

The doorbell rang twice, and then the door opened.

Gao Yuanyuan was wearing an apron, holding a spatula in her hand, and had a gentle, domestic smile on her face.

"You've come at the perfect time. The last dish is almost ready. Go wash your hands."

The room was warm and cozy, filled with the aroma of food.

Several exquisite home-style dishes were already laid out on the restaurant table, along with a bottle of red wine.

Fu Yibai sat down on the sofa and picked up the remote to watch TV.

Not long after, Gao Yuanyuan came out of the kitchen with the last dish, a plate of steamed sea bass, topped with shredded ginger and scallions, and drizzled with hot oil, sizzling and bubbling.

Stop looking and come eat.

She placed the fish in the center of the table, took off her apron and hung it on the back of the chair, and casually opened the bottle of red wine.

The two enjoyed a cozy dinner.

After dinner, Fu Yibai lay on the sofa with Gao Yuanyuan in his arms, listening to her talk about how much she missed him and the interesting things that had happened during this time.

"Yi Bai."

"Um?"

"You know, it would be nice if people could always be like this."

Her voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.

Fu Yibai gently stroked her shoulder with his palm, without saying a word.

Gao Yuanyuan turned to the side and looked up at him.

Do you think I'm pretty useless?

Everyone else is thinking about making movies, winning awards, and becoming famous, but I just want to open a flower shop, raise a cat, and cook every day.

"Everyone lives life differently."

"And what about you? How do you plan to live from now on?"

Fu Yibai thought about it.

"I don't know. Let's focus on doing what's in front of us first, and we'll deal with the rest later."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and buried her face in his chest.

"You're a good person in every way, except you're too busy."

Gao Yuanyuan sat up from his lap, stretched, and pulled up the hem of her sweater to reveal a section of her waistline.

"Tired?"

"Um."

"Go to sleep then."

She stood up and pulled him toward the bedroom.
