The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1127 - 1096

Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin arrived in Xiangjiang with their respective business teams.

They booked ocean-view suites at the Intercontinental Hotel in Xiangjiang. This visit was not just for business negotiations, but also to accompany Qi Zhengmin on a shopping tour.

At first, each had their own agendas, so while Qi Zhengmin was in business meetings, Tang Qian visited Xie Wanying and Qian Zhigao with a letter personally written by He Tiantian.

He had called ahead to schedule the visit.

Due to Tang Qian’s special status, Xie Wanying and Qian Zhigao received him at their home.

After reading the letter, Xie Wanying became even more enthusiastic towards Tang Qian.

Although their industries were based in Xiangjiang, the date for Xiangjiang’s reintegration had been set, and it was imminent. Hence, making a good impression on Tang Qian, a person of merit, was now necessary.

"Mr. Tang, I’m pleased to meet you," Xie Wanying said with a smile, "From Tiantian’s letter, I understand you are looking for partners to distribute a new movie in Xiangjiang. My brother’s business includes movie production and distribution. If you’re interested, I can introduce you to him."

Now, under her influence, the Xie family also had better understanding of Mainland China.

This was a good opportunity to connect with Mainland China. As the economy developed, it was now Tang Qian seeking collaboration opportunities. Perhaps in the future, Xie’s entertainment company might look to Tang Qian for development opportunities.

A decade in the east, a decade in the west—whose to say what the future holds!

"Thank you, Ms. Xie," Tang Qian said with a smile, "Our movie has already achieved great success in Mainland China, and it features breakthroughs in martial arts. Xiangjiang has always been a major market for martial arts films, so I wanted to give it a try here."

"Yes," Xie Wanying said, "I trust Mr. Tang’s words and wish your movie great success at the box office."

Qian Zhigao chuckled, "Don’t worry, both the Qian and Xie families will work their connections to make this happen."

"That would be really appreciated," Tang Qian responded, "I hope we’ll have more opportunities to collaborate in the future."

"We look forward to it as well," Xie Wanying said.

After some more friendly chat, Tang Qian took his leave, but Xie Wanying and Qian Zhigao insisted he stay for lunch before going.

Unable to decline their warm invitation, he stayed.

The meal also brought both families closer together.

Later that evening, Xie Wanying and her husband visited her family home to discuss with her elder brother Xie Jinzhi about the movie distribution collaboration.

After finding out about Tang Qian’s credentials, Xie Jinzhi wasn’t as concerned about the movie itself; just because of Tang Qian’s status, he was willing to agree.

"Thank you, little sister, for bringing such a great collaboration opportunity," Xie Jinzhi laughed, "Can I invite Mr. Tang for a meal tomorrow?"

"Of course," Xie Wanying replied, "I can help set up the time. By the way, big brother, what do you think about the collaboration for the movie distribution?"

Xie Jinzhi laughed, "You know our family business is interested in expanding into Mainland China; we need networking connections. Tang Qian is a good choice for collaboration; I plan to facilitate his needs so that later when we enter the Mainland market, we’ll also benefit from Tang Qian’s assistance." He shrugged, "It’s just that simple."

Xie Wanying nodded, "Exactly, with the current reform and opening up in Mainland China, the economy is rapidly developing. Our family’s shipping business, along with our other industries, are highly competitive. We can definitely earn substantial profits there."

"Exactly," Xie Jinzhi said, "We’ll discuss the specifics with Mr. Tang in person."

The Xie family took this collaboration very seriously.

To show their sincerity, Tang Qian brought Qi Zhengmin along to Xie Jinzhi and Xie Wanying’s dinner invitation.

During the meal, both Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin found great rapport in their conversation, quickly finalizing their collaboration intentions.

Additionally, Tang Qian invited Xie Jinzhi to watch the movie he had brought from Mainland China.

Xie Jinzhi’s home had a movie theater, where they all watched the upcoming collaborative film.

Initially, regardless of the movie’s quality, Xie Jinzhi was prepared to agree and was ready to take a loss if necessary.

However, after watching the movie, he was utterly astounded.

"Young brother Tang, this movie is truly spectacular," Xie Jinzhi said, "Leave the censorship and approval to me; it will be completed in the shortest time possible. Then, I’ll use my entertainment industry connections to arrange a grand Xiangjiang premiere. With many stars present and plenty of reporters, along with some promotions, this movie is guaranteed to do extremely well at the box office."

Tang Qian was very confident about the movie.

"I am confident too," Tang Qian smiled, "Of course, I have to thank big brother Xie for his help."

"It’s all about making money," Xie Jinzhi laughed, "With a good movie, especially one that promotes Huaxia culture, it definitely deserves to be promoted. By the way, I also have distribution channels in Southeast Asia, so since we are doing this, let’s promote it widely."

Currently, Xiangjiang’s movies have a significant influence in Asia.

To ensure the movie could be screened in Xiangjiang, Tang Qian had specifically arranged for Cantonese dubbing, showing his dedication.

Everything is ready except for the opportune moment. With the help of the Xie family, the work in Xiangjiang is progressing smoothly.

Tang Ping’an received a letter from He Tiantian and personally visited Tang Qian.

Tang Qian, now running an entertainment company and in the midst of recruiting talent, was certainly keen to meet someone as talented as Tang Ping’an. Perhaps in the future, they might collaborate.

"Hehe, Ping’an, no need to be formal. We share the same surname; who knows, maybe 500 years ago we were from the same family," Tang Qian said, "I’ve read your novels, they’re quite good. Teacher He often mentions you to me. If possible, I hope we can collaborate."

Over the years in Xiangjiang, Tang Ping’an, now well-known for his work, had become successful, no longer the awkward university student he once was.

"Thank you for the compliment, President Tang," Tang Ping’an responded, "How is Teacher He doing recently?"

"She’s doing very well," Tang Qian replied, "She will be in Xiangjiang soon for a sports exchange. You should be able to meet Teacher He."

Since finding out about this, Tang Ping’an had been in a dilemma.

He very much wanted to see He Tiantian; even just seeing her from a distance would satisfy him.

But at the same time, he also felt what difference would it make to see her? He and Teacher He were like two parallel lines that never met.

It only brought a sense of melancholy!

"Sure," Tang Ping’an smiled, "As long as President Tang finds me useful, just let me know."

"Hehe, then I thank you in advance," Tang Qian laughed, "I am planning to hold the overseas premiere of ’Tai Chi Grandmaster’ here in Xiangjiang. You have some renown here; if you are free, do come and see our movie. If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to point them out."

"I dare not correct you, but I will definitely come and admire it," Tang Ping’an replied very politely.
