Chapter 310 Spring Festival Gala Temporary Invitation
When Mayor Wei and others heard that Hao Qiang was willing to invest and planned to invest 5 million yuan, they couldn't help but smile with joy on their faces.
Although this investment is not large nationwide, it is a large investment for Guicheng.
Last year, Guicheng's GDP just exceeded 100 billion yuan, of which the secondary industry accounted for only 308.55 billion yuan.
Considering the high output value of Future Technology Group, this 5 million yuan investment is expected to bring at least 10 billion yuan in annual output value.
More importantly, Hao Qiang said that he would continue to invest in his hometown as long as the opportunity is right.
Regardless, it's an exciting start.
Next, the two sides discussed the investment details in depth.
Considering that there were only four days left before New Year's Eve, they agreed to formally sign the investment agreement on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
After obtaining the verbal promise, the government delegation quickly said goodbye, not wanting to disturb Hao Qiang's private time too much.
After the guests left, Hao Jianjun asked his son, "Son, are you really planning to invest in the industrial park? You're not just saying it casually, are you?"
"Of course it's true. How dare I lie to the government leaders, Dad?" Hao Qiang smiled. "They've even come to me for help. This is the second time.
As the saying goes, three times the limit, if I refuse this time, they won’t come next time.”
"Building the factory in the industrial park is a bit far, about ten kilometers. It would be better to build it in the village opposite, which is closer." Hao Jianjun suggested, still hoping that his son's factory would be at his doorstep.
Hao Qiang patiently explained: "The land in the nearby village has other plans and may be used to expand the vegetable greenhouse.
The industrial park is close to the planned Quannan Expressway intersection and is also closer to the city center, which is conducive to recruiting workers.
Besides, in five or six years, development might extend here.”
"Okay, make your own decision. I don't understand these things." Hao Jianjun did not interfere with his son's decision, but just said a few more words.
He secretly sighed that his son's net worth has now reached 30 to 40 billion yuan, ranking third in the country, and he may soon become the richest man in the country.
People in the village often tease him as the "richest dad." Although it's a joke, it does make sense - his son is indeed the richest man in the province.
I never thought that he would be the father of a super rich man, and the provincial government leaders came to him to ask for investment.
When the villagers learned that the government leaders had come to visit Hao Qiang again, they felt that Hao Qiang was really awesome.
That afternoon, Hao Qiang instructed his bodyguards to decline all visits in the next few days.
At ten o'clock the next morning, a local TV reporter came to interview, but had to give up after learning that Hao Qiang had closed the door to visitors.
If he were an ordinary wealthy person, he might be accused of being a big shot, but Hao Qiang's status is extraordinary.
Even the city government leaders came to visit them in person twice. It was understandable that they, as reporters, had no status and did not make an appointment in advance, but were not received when they visited rashly.
At eleven o'clock, Hao Qiang's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed a number from the capital.
He glanced at it and hung up.
A moment later, the phone rang again. When Hao Qiang answered it, he heard a strange but polite voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Hao?
I am Zhu Tong, the chief planner of the YTV Spring Festival Gala."
Although Hao Qiang was puzzled, he still responded politely: "Hello, Teacher Zhu. What can I do for you?"
Zhu Tong politely explained, "Mr. Hao, the situation is this: the Olympics are still a few months away, and our production team would like to invite Mr. Hao to participate in the Spring Festival Gala and sing 'BJ Welcomes You', or any other song you're good at."
In fact, Future Technology Group’s outstanding contribution to the recent snowstorm has triggered strong calls from the public for Hao Qiang to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.
Many people believe that compared to some stars, Hao Qiang not only has outstanding singing skills, but also has huge popularity and noble character.
Countless netizens questioned the director's vision and why they did not invite Hao Qiang.
At first, Zhu Tong could have ignored it.
However, recently the superiors asked why there was no program with Hao Qiang and questioned whether the program team had ever invited him.
If the invitation is declined, that's another matter.
But they didn't dare to be perfunctory. After all, Hao Qiang was an extraordinary person. If their lies were exposed, their positions would be in jeopardy.
In fact, when screening the program, they did consider inviting Hao Qiang.
But considering that Hao Qiang is not a person in the entertainment industry, but is focused on business operations and has a considerable fortune, he may have neither the intention to participate in the Spring Festival Gala nor the time to participate in multiple rehearsals.
Ultimately, they are worried that their invitation will be rejected and it will be difficult for them to step down.
This is very different from other artists who are eager to perform and willing to cooperate.
"The Spring Festival Gala program should have been arranged, right? The rehearsal and recording should have been completed, right?" Hao Qiang did not refuse directly, but instead showed some curiosity.
He realized that there must be something hidden behind this impromptu invitation, and there must be some inside story that he didn't know.
The Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live, but in order to deal with some special situations during the live broadcast, a backup will be recorded in advance.
If there is a problem at the live broadcast site, it will immediately switch to the recorded footage, and return to the live broadcast site when the problem is resolved.
Zhu Tong felt the pressure of talking to this business tycoon and patiently explained, “Our station leaders and program team really hope that Mr. Hao can participate.
It is not a problem to add a program at short notice, as there is a final rehearsal recording tomorrow afternoon.
There are still three days until the New Year's Eve performance. Given Mr. Hao's singing ability, he might be able to pass it in one rehearsal, which is more than enough time."
Hao Qiang pondered for a moment and responded, "This is a bit sudden, I need to think about it. I'll give you an answer later, okay?"
He still has 6 Super Singing and 7 Super Dancing performances left. If he agrees to participate, he will probably have to use up at least two of them.
“Of course, it’s our problem that we didn’t inform you in advance.
We are very much looking forward to Mr. Hao's participation, which is also the wish of more than one billion viewers across the country.
If you decide to attend, we will arrange the tickets immediately. "Zhu Tong was a little surprised that Hao Qiang still needed to consider it, but thinking of his status and position, he understood.
After all, for Hao Qiang, fame is no longer the focus of pursuit.
After hanging up the phone, Hao Qiang contacted Qiu Yuqing and consulted her about the matter.
Qiu Yuqing has always had many ideas and sees things more thoroughly.
Qiu Yuqing was delighted that Hao Qiang sought her advice, and after careful consideration, she replied, "Brother Qiang, I think participating in the Spring Festival Gala will be very beneficial for corporate publicity, and it will also allow the national audience to get to know you more intuitively.
I guess the reason they invited you so late was probably because of pressure from their superiors.
Otherwise, at this point in time, the program sequence should have been determined and rehearsed many times. How could it be easily changed?
I presume this leader is of a much higher rank than the station director, and he particularly wants to see you perform on stage."
She went on to suggest, “So, my opinion is, you might as well go for it.
I also want to see my brother Qiang perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, overshadowing those professional artists and letting them know that even though you are not in the entertainment industry, you are the best in the world.
Of course, if you don't want to, they can't do anything to you.
After all, you are not a professional artist and your identity is special.
You have to know that they are the ones who invite you, not you who ask to be on stage."
Qiu Yuqing's analysis took into account both commercial interests and Hao Qiang's personal wishes.
Hao Qiang couldn't help laughing when he heard Qiu Yuqing's domineering words: "Yuqing, you make it sound like I have no choice but to participate."
"Go ahead, there's no harm in it. The only downside might be that you'll become even more famous."
But, you are already famous, so you don’t mind more people knowing you, right? Hehe."
"Well, okay, let's participate once." Hao Qiang agreed happily and was thinking about what song to sing.
After hanging up the phone, he waited for a few minutes before calling Zhu Tong back and agreeing to participate.
"Thank you Mr. Hao for participating. I will arrange your plane ticket immediately. When do you think it would be a good time to leave?" Zhu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Hao Qiang was willing to participate. He finally completed the task.
I always thought that it was mostly others who begged him for help, but Hao Qiang had no temper at all.
"I'll arrive tomorrow at noon at the latest. As for the flight, I can book it myself, unless it's unavailable."
"Okay, no problem. If your family is willing to come and watch the live broadcast, I can arrange a seat for you." Zhu Tong knew that the other party was not short of money, so it didn't matter.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. I'll ask my parents first. Thank you very much for your invitation."
"You're welcome, Mr. Hao. We're very happy that you can come."
The two chatted for a few more sentences before ending the call.
