After Xiang Nan and Chunming reached an agreement, Kunpeng Real Estate was established with a registered capital of 20 million yuan.
The legal person of Kunpeng Real Estate is Feng Aihong. She has now retired from the street office, so there is no problem for her to be the legal person of the real estate company.
Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli, and Cheng Baoguo are all civil servants with administrative positions, so their status is more embarrassing.
The general manager is Chunming, with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, and a large bonus based on performance at the end of the year.
Such treatment made Cheng Yuejin jealous.
He is now working as a section chief in the National Development and Reform Bureau, and his monthly salary is less than two thousand, which is much lower than Chunming. He was so envious that he wanted to resign from his public position and work in Xiang Nan's company.
"Brother, is your salary too high? It makes me want to resign." Cheng Yuejin said to Xiang Nan.
"Shut up~" Xiang Nan glared at him, "You are now the section chief of the Development and Reform Bureau. Who wouldn't think highly of you? Those big bosses with tens of millions of dollars must be respectful in front of you. . But if you resign, no matter how rich you are, a clerk will look down on you.
Besides, doing business is not as easy as you think. You have to run around in every department, and you have to endure all kinds of anger. You still have to take care of the people below. If they don't have any real ability, they won't accept you. Unlike government agencies, where officials and senior officials can crush people to death, no matter how capable they are, they can only endure it.
So just stay at your workplace. If you want money, just tell me and don't think nonsense. "
"I understand, brother." Cheng Yuejin nodded.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, he also felt that it made sense.
As an official, the salary is indeed not high, but the social status is high. Especially for a department with real power like him, which manages the development and construction of Chongwen District and is related to the welfare of millions of people, it has huge power.
This also makes him quite popular. Many managers and bosses come to him every day, and he is tired of being promoted to various wine and dinner parties.
But if he resigns and goes to work, he will be the one asking for help, and his status will be very different from before. So it's better to stay in the unit.
Fortunately, with Xiang Nan's help, he was not short of money. Not to mention anything else, when Hujiang issued stock subscription certificates last year, he hoarded a batch of them and made millions by selling them.

After Kunpeng Real Estate was established, it began to acquire land and develop real estate around the capital.
Xiang Nan has considerable accumulation in the real estate field and has a detailed understanding of the development of the capital. Many plots of land now look like a wasteland, extremely remote and inaccessible to birds.
But after waiting for another two years, it will be included in the planning, subways will be built, roads will be paved, schools will be built, and it will become a prosperous downtown area. Therefore, he naturally picked the land accurately. Not only are the locations accurate, but they are all priced at the lowest price.
Coupled with his personal connections, it was more convenient to get loans, so Kunpeng Real Estate developed quickly. The initial capital was 20 million yuan, and by the end of the year, the assets had expanded to 200 million yuan, which is very impressive.

In September 1991, Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the Silver Lion Award.
Although it failed to win the Golden Lion, the highest award, it was already the highest award received by a mainland filmmaker at the Venice Film Festival, so it was an honor even though it failed.
Gong Li was also nominated for Best Actress. Although she did not successfully win the crown, it is already remarkable that she has been nominated at international film festivals, and she has the potential to become the number one actress in mainland China.
Xiang Nan sent them a special congratulatory message and invited Zhang Yimou to come to Beijing after returning to China to discuss matters in detail.
…
In October 1991, "Enemies and Sons" directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Feng Gong was officially released.
The original name of this movie was "I Am Your Dad". When it was submitted for review, a staff member pointed out that the name was a bit like a curse and not elegant, so it was forced to be changed.
In fact, in real life, he also directed this movie, and he also directed and starred in it. But in 1991, he was not that famous yet. If you are directing and acting yourself, you are afraid that you will not be able to hold the show, and you are also afraid that the audience will not accept it.
Feng Gong is a familiar face in the Spring Festival Gala, a well-known comedian, and has previously filmed works such as "Na Five", "The True Story of Ah O", "Amateur Police", and "Laughing Love".
One is experience and the other is popularity. In addition, Feng Xiaogang has also collaborated with Feng Gong on sketches such as "I Was Wrong", "Face and Crown", "Idea Company" and other works in the past two years. They are familiar with each other, so they hit it off immediately.
After "Enemies and Sons" was released in October, the market response could only be considered average. The final box office was six million, which was not particularly high. In comparison, when Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" was first released, the mainland box office revenue was 30 million.
Feng Xiaogang was shocked for a moment. He didn't expect that his carefully created work only had a box office of 6 million. You should know that although this movie is a small-budget film, it still cost two million yuan.
Many of the funds were saved by brothers Wang Xie, Ye Jing, Ma Weidu and others. At present, the box office is 6 million, excluding theaters and Beijing Film Studio's share. They have done it for nothing.
This puzzled Feng Xiaogang. With such a good story, such good actors, and his hard work, how could it not do well at the box office?
Xiang Nan felt normal.
On the one hand, although "Enemies and Sons" is close to life, it lacks commercial elements. To be honest, who spends money to go to the theater just to watch this kind of story about family affairs?
On the one hand, "Enemies and Sons" was not promoted enough. The reason why "Red Sorghum" and "Raise the Red Lantern" achieved high box office is that Zhang Yimou first won awards abroad and became famous. Domestic media also followed suit, which invisibly gave the film exposure.
And "Enemies and Sons" did not do any decent publicity from the start of filming to the release. And even if Feng Xiaogang wanted to publicize it, because the media at that time belonged to the state, there were no newspapers or magazines to sell him face.
Therefore, "Enemies and Sons" has been severely under-exposed. Even Wang Tie's fans don't know that this movie is being released, so it is naturally difficult to support it.
In addition, the current film market is immature. The phenomenon of box office under-reporting and under-reporting is very serious, and the six million box office may not be the real number. It's a pity that with the abilities of Feng Xiaogang, Wang Yan and others, even if they have suspicions, they can't be investigated at all.
…
"It doesn't matter. As a new director, it's your first time filming. If you don't lose money, you'll make a profit." Xiang Nan comforted him, "The most important thing for you now is to learn experience and travel the road. When you have figured out all the joints, think about it." It’s naturally not difficult to make money.”
Feng Xiaogang blinked, "Master Cheng, do you really think I can do it?"
"Nonsense, if you can't do it, why should I cooperate with you?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "I don't know how many directors in China want to cooperate with me."
Hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang suddenly regained some confidence, "Thank you, I understand."
"Well, children can be taught." Xiang Nan nodded, and then took out a script, "Take this script and think about it carefully."
Feng Xiaogang took it and took a look and saw six words on the cover - "Yenjing natives in New York".
