"Rent? Have all the rents for the original stalls in the vendor area been refunded?"

Zhu Qiang thought for a while and said.

"Withdrawal, because we are temporarily building a compound here...all the extra ones have been withdrawn!"

"Okay, except for the self-operated shops of Mingsha Cultural Tourism, we will invite investment according to normal standards, but there is something we must explain to them clearly before inviting investment."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Hao said that since our area has the characteristics of an ancient town, it should be ancient to the end, so... you can make the signboards of the shops that are unique to you, but they must be in the ancient style! Vertical or suspended can be used.

In addition, it’s best to wear ancient costumes and Hanfu when you come to the store to work.”

Zhu Qiang stated the investment criteria.

Step by step, since ancient buildings, ancient courtyards, and ancient pavilions have become the characteristics of No. 256, it is better to keep the characteristics to the end.

"Okay, this should be no problem."

Luo Peng's eyes lit up.

Although Sha'ao has not been very popular recently, the number of tourists has not decreased much. There are also unit inspections organized by the Provincial Tourism Bureau and the Cultural Relics Bureau. The average number of people per day is about 500.

This time Qixia Town has built nearly a hundred courtyards. Each courtyard has eight guest rooms. Visitors can book the entire courtyard or a single room.

How many tourists can 800 guest rooms accommodate?

At least one thousand or more.

Therefore, many merchants in Mingsha County have seen this business opportunity and are constantly calling to inquire about the rental of shops. It is not a big deal to create their own ancient signboards in ancient costumes.

"Well, there is still a lot of work to be done while Brother Hao is away. The water and electricity in Mingsha County have almost been delivered to the boundary. It is best to start construction here in advance. As soon as it is delivered there, we can connect to Oasis No. 1

.

So...manual preparations must be made in advance!

In addition...the fire brigade will also come to the desert in the next few days to inspect and set up a brigade. Mr. Luo, you will receive them here.

There is also the matter of selecting objects for Prince Teng’s Pavilion!”

Zhu Qiang took a deep breath.

I really don’t dare to think about it in detail. The more I think about it, the more unfinished work I have.

Take the selection of objects for example... I thought the people nearby would be very resistant, as everyone knows the principle of not leaking money!

I heard people say that they want to put their old belongings on display in Tengwang Pavilion... Not only can they collect rent, but if they meet interested collectors, they will also be more enthusiastic about buying them.

Many people brought out family heirlooms. Even after hearing the news, many people in Weishi sent old objects related to desert elements from their homes.

As soon as there are too many things sent to you, you have to carefully select them.

Some people even brought the stone troughs that used to feed cattle at home, but we couldn't even put these things on them.

All in all, the amount of work is not small.

"Okay! When will Brother Hao leave? How long will he stay in Yancheng?"

"It is estimated that we will set off in a day or two. As for how long we will stay, it is hard to say. Brother Hao said that this trip to Yancheng is mainly about the ancient construction of the courtyard."

"oh!"

"Forget it, I don't want to worry about that much, just try to finish the basic work when Brother Hao comes back."

"Um!"

...

At the same time,

In the corridor on the top floor of Tengwang Pavilion, Xu Hao turned the corner. Next to him was a young man about 1.8 meters tall and about the same age as him, wearing casual clothes.

"Haozi...this is so awesome...how many things did you do without telling me when you were in college?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him and the various ancient buildings in Oasis No. 1, the young man couldn't help but sigh.

He was none other than Fang Hou, his college roommate who agreed to come over and film a drama with Xu Hao.

“It’s all about life!”

Xu Hao smiled.

Anyway, Hui Gu Jian has already labeled him, whether he admits it or not is the matter.

"Awesome! How much money has been invested in the desert now? There are two oasis B&Bs, an ancient town, and a wooden Tengwang Pavilion..."

Fang Hou sighed and asked again.

He arrived at Hongshagang Village at seven o'clock this morning. Along the way... he also listened to many comments from local people.

"As for the bonuses for survival in the wilderness... I'll invest some when I make money later, and I'll invest some when I make money. Anyway, Mingsha Cultural Tourism's account doesn't have much money right now."

Xu Hao did not conceal the ownership structure of Mingsha Cultural Tourism.

Fang Hou and he were brothers in the university dormitory, a lifelong relationship. Apart from the fact that he was once the sixth son of the Xu family, they had almost no secrets.

"How can Mingsha Cultural Tourism make money?"

Fang Hou was completely stunned.

If an outside company were to develop this desert, the cost of building so many ancient buildings would be close to hundreds of millions, and it would only take less than two months for Mingsha Cultural Tourism to register.

"Currently, the income is relatively stable, but the expenditure on desert construction is even greater. Next, we need to provide electricity and water to the desert and build roads... These are no small projects!

Especially for road construction... Although it is only a short five kilometers and does not require any demolition compensation or difficult projects such as tunneling, the lowest quotation given by the construction companies is 50 million."

Xu Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, he wanted to build the road early, but the quotation from the construction company has far exceeded the cost that Mingsha Cultural Tourism can afford, so the road construction can only be put on hold until the water and electricity issues are settled.

The scale of the newly built ancient town is quite large, and water and electricity can no longer be supplied by groundwater or diesel generators in the oasis.

"There is no way, any project now starts with a cost of tens of millions!"

"Wait...Since the company doesn't have much money in its account, how can we film a TV series?"

Fang Hou was still lamenting the difficulty and consumption of desert construction, but then he suddenly came back to his senses.

On the way here, Xu Hao had already told him about the work he would do in the future.

Like Mingsha Culture and Tourism, the two registered a new cultural company. Xu Hao's Haoran Investment Company holds 90% of the shares, Fang Hou is the legal person of the company, holding 5% of the shares, and the remaining 5% is retained.

The next step is to introduce talents and use equity incentives.

As for content output,

Xu Hao was responsible for the two tasks of directing and scripting, and the other tasks included finding actors...submitting for review...Fang Hou was responsible for the production and other aspects.

"There is still money for filming TV series! I take it myself...it has nothing to do with Mingsha Cultural Tourism! If I take it from there, it will affect the equity structure of the cultural company."

Xu Hao said.

"Yes? How many?"

Fang Hou asked hurriedly.

"Two million!"

Xu Hao glanced at the direction of the B&B. He saw that the two million dollars had nothing to do with Mingsha Cultural Tourism. They were saved from rewards from fans in the live broadcast room and official incentives over the past month or so.

Of course, the two million has already been paid and withdrawn to a private account.

"What? Two million...Haozi...didn't you say before that as long as you don't hire famous actors, you will have sufficient funds? In the end, the budget was only two million.

You can buy a professional camera for half that."

Fang Hou almost jumped up.

When he saw the scale of the desert B&B, he thought the investment in the project would start at least tens of millions, but it turned out to be only two million.

With the current market price of two million, you can't even hire a third-tier actor.

"What's the matter with two million? You can rent the photography equipment in advance, and you own the script and shooting location without any money. In summary, the biggest cost for our project this time is hiring five leading actors."
