Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1304: The first to get the moon is near the water and the tower.

Kong Weiming, the director of the TV station in Hanxi Province, looked at the massive Dongling High-Tech Global Headquarters Industrial Park in front of him.

The current Dongke Global Headquarters covers an area of ​​over 100,000 square meters, and there is plenty of land around it that can be expanded. If needed in the future, the area can be increased to 300,000 square meters, or about 450 acres.

As the director of Hanxi TV Station, Kong Weiming has interviewed and reported on many company headquarters, including those state-owned factories that were almost like cities within cities in the past, but there are very few that can reach the scale of Dongling High-Tech's headquarters.

However, when Kong Weiming turned his head and saw another television broadcasting vehicle, bearing the logo of Pingyang TV Station and even more advanced than that of Hanxi Provincial TV Station, his expression turned sour.

Upon seeing the Pingyang TV station's broadcast van, Kong Weiming couldn't help but curse his incredible luck.

Based on Pingyang TV's past performance, they couldn't even get a seat at the table, but now they've become quite prominent, simply because they've found a powerful patron!
Dongling High-Tech is really throwing money at Pingyang TV. Pingyang TV now earns the second-highest annual advertising revenue among all TV stations in Hanxi Province, second only to Hanxi Provincial TV.

Not only did they spend a lot on advertising, but Oriental Media, which provided content specifically for Pingyang TV, was also incredibly wealthy.

Oriental Media spent a lot of money to bring in many TVB dramas for Pingyang TV, which sometimes made Pingyang TV's ratings even higher than those of Hanxi Provincial TV, which was simply the opposite of what was expected!

"Director Kong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The head of Pingyang TV walked towards Kong Weiming with a smile, seemingly oblivious to Kong Weiming's dissatisfaction with him.

Kong Weiming might give him a hard time, but the shrewd and worldly-wise Zheng Zutai knew he couldn't afford to fall out with Kong Weiming and had to give him enough face, even after Pingyang TV went satellite.

Face or substance, you can only choose one, and Zheng Zutai chose substance!

If Pingyang TV successfully goes satellite and Oriental Media successfully goes public, then Pingyang TV will become very powerful. At that time, on the surface, Hanxi Provincial TV will definitely still be the boss, and no other media will be able to challenge the status of Hanxi Provincial TV.

However, if Pingyang TV can stand on its own and earn its own ratings, advertising revenue, and market value, that's enough!
"Master Zheng, your methods are truly remarkable!"

While shaking hands, Kong Weiming couldn't help but say something to Zheng Zutai.

The reason Kong Weiming said this was because he also felt helpless about Pingyang TV's efforts to become a satellite TV station, as there were simply too many people supporting Pingyang TV.

The Pingyang Municipal Government and the Pingyang Propaganda Committee need no further mention, as they are essentially part of the Pingyang TV station. Dongling Hi-Tech also supports Pingyang TV station, since Dongling Hi-Tech's headquarters are located in Pingyang. Whenever Dongling Hi-Tech is in trouble, Pingyang TV station is always the first to step forward and cheer for Dongling Hi-Tech!
However, the implicit support from the provincial government's propaganda apparatus and even from central media outlets for Pingyang TV to go satellite television made Kong Weiming somewhat restless.
It's important to know that Kong Weiming's biggest supporter is An Yueguo, the director of the propaganda department of Hanxi Provincial Government, who has been endorsing him for years.

As a result, An Yueguo also supported Pingyang TV. The reason is self-evident: Pingyang TV going satellite is an achievement. With two satellite channels in one province, this is the credit of the propaganda department of Hanxi Provincial Government. It is enough for An Yueguo to move further into the provincial government committee!
Hansi Provincial Television was under the jurisdiction of the Hansi Provincial Government's propaganda department, and Binh Duong Television was ultimately also under the jurisdiction of the provincial government's propaganda department. It was like they were both important to them, so naturally they wouldn't obstruct each other.

"There's no way you can say that, Director Kong. All the small achievements that Pingyang TV Station has made are thanks to Director Kong's excellent guidance!"

In the future, Pingyang TV will need more guidance from Director Kong, and Pingyang TV will also need more support from Hanxi Provincial TV Station!

Zheng Zutai said to Kong Weiming, expressing his hope for the support of Hanxi Provincial TV Station, "In the future, Oriental Media also hopes to have more cooperation with Hanxi Provincial TV Station!"

It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Zheng Zutai truly didn't want to make enemies with the provincial governor of Hanxi. What good would it do to fight with his superior, even if he won?
Moreover, Zheng Zutai has now figured out the rules Li Dongling devised for Pingyang TV. Pingyang TV is the foundation, and Oriental Media is the fruit that grows from this tree.

If Hanxi Provincial TV Station can also be brought into Oriental Media's camp, backed by the support of two major TV stations, Oriental Media's chances of going public in the future will likely increase significantly, and its market value will also increase significantly!

Faced with Zheng Zutai's suggestion, Kong Weiming did not refuse immediately, but fell into deep thought.

It is unlikely that Pingyang TV will be able to go satellite TV. At this point, cooperation would be most beneficial for Hanxi Provincial TV Station.

Furthermore, the ability to acquire broadcasting rights for numerous TV dramas and animations from Oriental Media Group was made possible, but more importantly, it was due to the attitude of Dongling Hi-Tech, a major financial backer…

Just as Kong Weiming was deep in thought, a commotion arose in the distance. He saw a long convoy of vehicles heading towards them.

"Come to the provincial capital of Hanxi to discuss this matter in detail!"

Kong Weiming gave Zheng Zutai a piece of advice and then went to meet him. In the end, he still respected his elder brother's face and told Zheng Zutai to go to the provincial capital of Hanxi to talk.

Zheng Zutai wasn't annoyed; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. Once the Hanxi Provincial TV station was secured, he could gradually gain support from companies like the Hanxi Film Studio.

What Zheng Zutai feared most was Hanxi Broadcasting and Media, which was jointly established by Hanxi Propaganda Department, Hanxi TV Station, and Hanxi Film Studio!
Hanxi Broadcasting and Media actually does similar work to Oriental Media, including producing TV programs and movies for Hanxi TV. More importantly, Hanxi Broadcasting and Media also has film distribution qualifications, which is what Zheng Zutai is most envious of.

Essentially, Oriental Media and Hanxi Broadcasting Media are direct competitors. However, what truly troubles Zheng Zutai is not Hanxi Broadcasting Media's strength or powerful background, but rather its leader, An Ruxue.

Most people in Hanxi may be unfamiliar with this name, but for Zheng Zutai, who is part of the Hanxi media camp and works for Pingyang TV, he knows all too well how much influence this name has.

Therefore, Zheng Zutai has always kept his distance from Hanxi Broadcasting and Television Media. For him, if he can't afford to offend them, can't he at least avoid them?

When gods fight, innocent bystanders suffer. Besides, Zheng Zutai is from Pingyang, which means he's destined to be a member of Yao's faction. Does he really think he can turn against his own side? Does he really think he can take a bean bun for granted, or does he want to test the power of his pillow talk?

Although Yao Luoying has left the Dongke Group and no longer works at Dongling High-Tech, she still wields considerable influence over the company. At least for now, the senior executives at Dongling High-Tech headquarters, whether they are veterans or professional managers, all support Yao Luoying and Li Zhiyuan.

"Liu Shuji!"

"Mr. Li!"

Nominally, He Jingsong, the general manager of Pingyang Construction Engineering, who was in charge of the Dongling High-Tech Global Headquarters project, jogged up to greet them, opened the car door for them, and said to Li Dongling and Liu Weiguang as they got out of the car.

Following He Jingsong were the heads of several construction companies, including Hanxi Construction, China Railway, and China State Construction Engineering Corporation, who were in charge of this project.

Pingyang Construction Group is just a general contractor, but in reality, the Oriental Tower project was mainly built by a few state-owned construction companies. Pingyang Construction Group's strength is not yet sufficient to be considered.

Honestly, the global headquarters of Dongling High-Tech is definitely the most comfortable place for these construction companies to work on among all the projects they've undertaken over the years.

Dongling Hi-Tech never delays project payments, always making payments on time. As long as the quality is up to standard, Dongling Hi-Tech will pay the project funds according to the progress of the project.

Even the construction workers on the site are provided with two meals a day by Dongling High-Tech. The meals are oily and juicy, so don't expect them to taste great, but they are definitely filling and there is meat every day.

During holidays, Dongling High-Tech will also increase the meal allowance for construction sites.

Anyway, everyone, from the construction company to the workers, felt that the Dongke Global Headquarters project was really great.

In the future, any project undertaken by Dongling High-Tech will be highly sought after by construction companies and workers!

"Mr. Li, the main projects of the global headquarters have been basically completed and the decoration has been finished. Area A is the office area, and the two buildings have been completed and can be moved in."

Area B houses the R&D center building, which also has the highest security level in the entire global headquarters. The laboratory is not yet fully completed, but it is expected to be initially put into use by the middle of the year.

Area C houses the visitor center and the area for families of employees of Dongke University. Area D is mainly responsible for the training center, large-scale conferences, and celebrations. Area E contains supporting facilities such as employee apartments, restaurants, gyms, and a small commercial street.

The entire global headquarters is a fusion of ecological and office areas, including water systems, wetlands, gardens and other landscape features.

The entire project is expected to be completed early next year!

Behind Li Dongling and Liu Weiguang were senior executives from Dongling High-Tech headquarters and key personnel from Pingyang City government. Before even entering Dongling High-Tech's global headquarters, just listening to He Jingsong's words, Liu Weiguang had a feeling that it was all about burning money!
If the East China University of Science and Technology's global headquarters, built with hundreds of millions of dollars, doesn't have any unique features, then it's just a joke.

"That is……"

Upon arriving at the gate of Dongling High-Tech's global headquarters, Liu Weiguang's gaze couldn't help but wander to the large plots of land enclosed on both sides.

"That's the newly established and planned global headquarters of Feiyan Technology!"

"Next to it are the sites for projects such as Focus Media's Hanxi headquarters, Dongfang Optoelectronics' Pingyang office building, Dongxin Semiconductor's office building, and Dongfang Express's Hanxi headquarters!"

Ren Yuefeng, who was slightly behind Li Dongling, said to Liu Weiguang that the land on both sides of Dongling High-Tech was being fought over by Dongke's subsidiaries.

Even if they can't relocate their headquarters there, these companies under Dongke still want to build their office buildings near Dongling High-Tech's headquarters.

Among them, the most financially powerful is Feiyan Technology, which is preparing to build its own global headquarters right next to Dongling High-Tech.
