Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The secretary looked up at Yang Qian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He invited Yang Qianlai today with the intention of offering some guidance and direction, encouraging young people to consider social responsibility more in their future plans.

As soon as he presented the question, the other party had already produced the answer.

Moreover, judging from Yang Qian's expression, this answer wasn't made up on the spot; it was something she had already prepared.

"However, we need the support of City A."

Yang Qian grinned.

The secretary chuckled to himself.

"You're still haggling at a time like this. Just tell me, what do you want?"

Yang Qian's expression turned serious. He didn't answer immediately, but instead took out a folded piece of paper from his briefcase, unfolded it, and laid it on the secretary's desk.

It was an administrative map of City A. In the southern part of the city center, there was an area that Yang Qian had circled in red.

"This location."

Yang Qian pointed to the red circle.

"There was a commercial complex that went bankrupt."

"It's not very big, and it's not located in a prime business district, but it has one advantage: it's only a ten-minute drive from the industrial park of the Land of Light."

The secretary picked up the map, glanced at it, then looked up at Yang Qian with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You want this land?"

"I won't take it."

Yang Qian shook his head, "Land acquisition is too expensive. The cash flow of the Land of Light must be prioritized to ensure the production of the project."

"My idea is to rent."

"Long-term lease, twenty years."

"The rent is calculated at market price, so I don't take advantage of the government, but I need the approval process to go through the green channel as quickly as possible."

The secretary put down the map and remained silent for a while.

The government doesn't lose money at all by leasing a bankrupt commercial complex to a cultural enterprise that pays over 100 million yuan in taxes.

He was trying to figure out what Yang Qian was up to.

An animation company suddenly wants this?

Build a photography studio? Build an exhibition hall? Build a themed restaurant?

"What are you planning to do with such a large piece of land?"

The secretary asked directly.

Yang Qian's answer consisted of only four words.

"Build a supermarket."

Build a supermarket?

This didn't match any of the possibilities he had just considered.

But the young man sitting in front of him never switched industries without a reason.

Yang Qian appears easygoing, but in reality, every step he takes is meticulously planned.

Looking back, every step of the Land of Light's journey from a small animation studio to its current scale was meticulously planned in advance.

"What does your supermarket sell?" The secretary picked up his thermos, took a thoughtful sip, and asked.

"We sell everything."

Yang Qian gestured.

"The first floor is for fresh produce and daily necessities, the second floor is for cultural and creative products and books, and the third floor is for dining and experiential activities."

He paused for a moment, then said, "But actually, this is not an ordinary supermarket. I plan to make it the first step in extending the Kingdom of Light's industrial chain offline."

He pointed back to the red circle on the map.

"This location is close to the industrial park, which means lower logistics costs. The business district structure in City A is currently biased towards the north and east. Residents in the south have to travel several kilometers to buy groceries, which is the basis of demand."

"And the IP of the Land of Light can be used for the theme packaging of the experience area."

"To put it simply, this is a large offline retail space, but it sells more than just products."

"The IP of the Land of Light can provide it with a unique atmosphere and experience, making it a complex commercial complex that can simultaneously meet the daily consumption needs of surrounding residents and the travel needs of fans."

The secretary laughed after hearing this.

"You, Xiao Yang, I asked you to boost employment, and you just built a commercial complex for me?"

"It will create a significant number of jobs."

Yang Qian started counting on her fingers, "Cashier, stock clerk, warehouse manager, security guard, cleaning staff—just the basic positions alone can employ hundreds of people."

"The designers and sales staff in the cultural and creative zone, the chefs and waiters in the catering zone, and the technicians and guides in the experience zone add up to hundreds of people."

"And this is just the job position within the supermarket itself."

He looked up at the secretary and added the most crucial sentence.

"More importantly, it is an attempt by the Kingdom of Light to move from virtual to physical."

"If this supermarket is successful, we can open a second one in City B next year and a third one in City C the year after. Each one will boost employment and consumption in a region."

"At that time, the Land of Light will not only drive the animation industry chain in City A, but the entire industry chain of live entertainment and offline consumption."

A brief silence fell over the office.

The secretary stared at the red circle on the map for a long time, then folded the map neatly and pushed it in front of Yang Qian.

"I'll talk to Xiao Li. Don't worry about the approval process; we'll go through the fast track."

His tone returned to its usual calm and steady manner.

"However, I have one requirement: once the project is launched, priority should be given to hiring unemployed people with local household registration in City A."

"This is your mission, and also an explanation to the citizens of City A."

Yang Qian put the map into her briefcase and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, it's what I should do."

The secretary waved his hand, "Go ahead, I won't take up any more of your time."

Yang Qian got up to say goodbye, and as he reached the door, he suddenly heard the secretary's voice behind him.

"Xiao Yang, next time you come to report on your work, please tell my secretary in advance so I can use that time to prepare a few project lists."

His tone carried a teasing tone typical of an elder, "So you won't surprise me again."

Yang Qian smiled and responded, then opened the door and went out.

In the corridor, Li Lin was leaning against the wall waiting for him.

Seeing Yang Qian come out, he went up to her and asked in a low voice, "How did the talk go?"

"Green channel, priority approval."

Yang Qian patted him on the shoulder. "Manager Li, you owe me another meal. I praised you in front of the Party Secretary, saying you're very capable at your job."

"If you really help me out today, that will be the most virtuous thing you've done all year."

Li Lin visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll treat you to dinner at the end of the year."

"No rush to eat."

Yang Qian suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

"However, I do have something I need your help with. Please coordinate with the Planning Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I want to take over that commercial complex in the South District and open a supermarket there."

Li Lin's steps suddenly stopped.

He stood in the middle of the corridor, watching Yang Qian's back, his thoughts racing through his mind.

"Wait a minute? The job creation you were talking about with the Party Secretary earlier, you mean opening a supermarket?"

He quickly caught up with him, "Director Yang, a supermarket! You're an animator! This is such an outrageous crossover!"

"Is that outrageous?"

Yang Qian turned and glanced at him. "It's perfectly normal for an animation company to open a supermarket. It's essentially a business logic."

Li Lin emphasized.

"Do you know how competitive the retail industry is right now? Community group buying, fresh food e-commerce, instant delivery—how can you compete with those giants?"

"Take what they don't have."
