Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 910 Conditions
Fang Minghua told Wang Zi to ask Director Liu to wait for a moment and he would drive over himself.

I drove to the organizing committee office at the Duanlimen intersection and met Director Liu in Wang Zi's office. He was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a T-shirt.

"Deputy General Manager Xiao of Xi'an Qujiang Tourism Construction and Development Corporation." Wang Zi introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao."

"Hello, Chairman Fang." The two men shook hands with a smile and sat on the sofa. Wang Zi poured Fang Minghua a cup of tea and sat next to him.

"Chairman Fang, I heard that you want to build an art exhibition hall to display your own collection of calligraphy and paintings from the Republic of China?"

"Yes, I believe Director Wang has already told you." Fang Minghua said.

"This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it can also improve the cultural atmosphere of Xijing." Xiao Jinhan praised it highly, and suddenly changed the subject: "I also heard from Director Wang that you encountered problems in requisitioning land?"

"Yes, the land area given to us by the city is a bit small, and I'm not very satisfied with the place." Fang Minghua told the truth.

"Yes, I heard from Director Wang that it is in the middle section of West Avenue, so far away from the city. I don't know what Director Zhang of the Municipal Land Bureau thinks." Xiao Jinhan complained and said.

"Chairman Fang, you are short of land now, our company can help you."

"What should we do?" Fang Minghua remained calm.

"It's like this. We'll help you build an art gallery within our company's development area! I won't say much about the location in Qujiang New District, but I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Fang Minghua nodded.

"Moreover, you don't have to pay a penny to build the art gallery. We will build the venue. You only need to hand over your treasured calligraphy and paintings to us, and we will be responsible for keeping, exhibiting and using them for you."

At this point, Xiao Jinhan paused and continued, "The ownership of these calligraphy and painting works still belongs to you. We are only responsible for the exhibition and daily maintenance, and these expenses are also paid by our company.

"Don't worry, the security system and maintenance facilities for calligraphy and painting will be designed according to the requirements of a world-class art exhibition hall. What do you think, Chairman Fang?"

When Wang Zi, who was standing next to him, heard this, he thought it was good news.

Save a lot of money.

Fang Minghua shook his head after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to do this."

"What? Are you not satisfied?" Xiao Jinhan was a little surprised.

"Mr. Xiao, if your company really wants to help me, you just need to give me a piece of land in your development area, at least 15 acres! You don't have to worry about anything else. The design and construction of the art museum, as well as future venue operations, maintenance and staff will all be managed by myself. You don't even have to give me the land for free, I can buy it myself! Of course, I also have to choose a suitable area." Fang Minghua expressed his opinion.

Xiao Jinhan was a little skeptical after hearing this, and after a while he said: Chairman Fang, for a public welfare exhibition hall like this, the temporary income is almost negligible. Not to mention the daily operation and maintenance of the venue, even if it is to build a modern art museum, according to our preliminary estimate, the investment will be hundreds of millions! Chairman Fang, have you considered it? "

Fang Minghua picked up the teacup and smiled without saying anything.

At this time, Wang Zi interrupted and said, "Mr. Xiao, you don't know that Chairman Fang has budgeted 200 million to build the art museum, which of course also includes the office space for our organizing committee and the foundation. 50 million has been allocated in the early stage."

Two hundred million!
Oh my God
Looking at Fang Minghua's leisurely appearance, Xiao Jinhan was stunned.

No wonder some people say that Fang Minghua is the richest man in the country. It is indeed true. Who in the country can easily come up with 200 million to build an art museum?

It seems that only Li Ka-shing from Hong Kong can do it?

But the man seemed reluctant to spend so much money on charity. Xiao Jinhan calmed down, thought for a while and said, "Chairman Fang, how about I go back and report your ideas to General Manager Yu, and we can discuss it and then give you a reply?"

"Sure." Fang Minghua stood up with a smile: "I will go to the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department to ask Minister Zhang for help in getting the land."

"No, don't go to Minister Zhang yet." Xiao Jinhan said hurriedly: "Let's go back and discuss it first."

"Okay, but hurry up."

After Xiao Jinhan left, Wang Zi asked in confusion, "Teacher Fang, I understand that you have no shortage of funds and do not need a travel company to build a venue. But why are they so enthusiastic? As Mr. Xiao said, this is not a small amount of money."

"Do you think they won't settle the accounts?" Fang Minghua said with a smile:

"First of all, the construction of such public welfare venues will definitely receive certain financial subsidies, which means that the funds for building the venues are not all provided by their company. After the museum is completed, there will be income from the sale of art derivatives, holding events, renting venues, and inviting these calligraphy and paintings to exhibitions at home and abroad!"

"More importantly, he didn't mention free tickets! That means there may be a charge for tickets in the future! This goes against my original intention." Fang Minghua said lightly.

Wang Zi nodded after listening, and then said: "However, Qujiang New District is indeed a good place. Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Tang Paradise, and Heritage Park are full of humanistic atmosphere. Our art museum mainly exhibits calligraphy and Chinese paintings, which fits the atmosphere there very well."

"So, I didn't refuse outright and listened to the result of their discussion."

Then Xiao Jinhan rushed back to the head office and told General Manager Yu Zhengwen what he had talked about with Fang Minghua.

"Haha, Fang Minghua is really rich and powerful." Yu Zhengwen laughed.

"Yeah. An investment of hundreds of millions, and he didn't even blink an eye." Xiao Jinhan also sighed, "And, from what I heard, he said he was going to do it for free! Oh my God. The annual operation and maintenance costs must be several million, right?"

"I heard that Fang Minghua bought a film company in the United States for more than a billion dollars! These hundreds of millions of RMB are nothing in his eyes."

Xiao Jinhan didn't know what to say after hearing this. After a while, he asked, "Mr. Yu, do you agree to his terms?"

Yu Zhengwen pondered for a moment and said, "I agree! As long as the art gallery is built on our site, it will increase the popularity of the surrounding area! And the art gallery will become a tourist attraction in our new district just like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Tang Paradise! Why not?"

"Let's be generous and allocate 20 mu of land to him to build a stadium, but there is a condition: the design of the stadium must be consulted with us and it must be coordinated with the surrounding ancient buildings."

Xiao Jinhan nodded after hearing this.

"Okay then. Let's hold a company manager meeting this afternoon and discuss this. If there are no objections, then this matter will be settled!"

It was three days later that Fang Minghua received a call from Xiao Jinhan, who told him that he agreed to his conditions in principle but that he could go to their head office to discuss the specific details.

Fang Minghua did not hesitate and called Wang Zi, asking her to bring relevant staff to the headquarters of the Open Corporation to negotiate with Yu Zhengwen.

After a preliminary agreement, Xijing Qujiang Tourism Construction and Development Corporation allocated 1 acres of land to the foundation free of charge in its own development area (District 20 of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, southwest corner of the intersection of Yannan st Road and Yanta South Road) to build an art museum.

The construction of the museum and its subsequent daily operation, management and maintenance shall be the sole responsibility of the Foundation, and the Development Corporation shall not interfere. The Development Corporation may provide assistance in the design and construction of the museum.

In fact, Fang Minghua knew it in her heart.

Qujiang Tourism Construction and Development Corporation has its own construction company and would like to take over future construction work.
