My capital is quite large.

Chapter 308 Paused?

After listening to Li Feng's instructions, Zhang Yuxi quickly did some mental calculations.

As one of the largest cultural tourism projects in China in terms of investment, the Xiapi Haofeng Film and Television City is more than three times the size of Hengdian World Studios, and funds for its supporting construction are still being continuously injected.

More importantly, with the injection of top-tier anime IPs such as Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Ultraman, its commercial value and scarcity are self-evident.

In Greater China, Haofeng holds exclusive rights to these IPs, which means that this soon-to-be-built animation theme park will be the only officially licensed base in China.

The valuation of this IP premium alone is probably much higher than that of the physical buildings of a film and television city.

Looking at domestic competitors in the same category, Hengdian World Studios, which is currently actively seeking an IPO and has reached its Series D financing round, is valued at around 100 billion RMB by the market.

The larger-scale Xiapi Haofeng Film and Television City, which boasts exclusive top-tier animation IPs, could almost effortlessly achieve a valuation of 400 to 600 billion RMB in the capital market once it announces its IPO plan.

Of course, without the support of the animation theme park concept, the valuation would basically peak at 150 billion yuan based solely on traditional antique-style buildings.

Applying for a 400 billion yuan policy-based cultural tourism loan from the province with an asset valuation of over 200 billion yuan not only aligns with the national macro policy of supporting the cultural industry, but also falls entirely within the acceptable range for financial institutions in terms of risk control.

"Understood, Chairman Li. I will immediately notify the finance and legal departments to work on the asset divestiture and IPO plan for the subsidiary." Zhang Yuxi raised her head, her expression resolute.

However, just as she was about to continue reporting other details, she noticed that Li Feng's gaze was fixed on a street scene with a Republican-era feel not far away.

There, a small team of five people is filming.

A photographer holding a DSLR camera, a female model posing, a lighting assistant with a reflector, a makeup artist waiting in the wings, and a middle-aged man who looks like the leader.

Judging from the meager setup and shooting techniques, it clearly doesn't look like a task from a regular film crew or a big company; it looks more like a private Taobao shop or small studio shooting still photos of models.

Noticing Li Feng's slightly furrowed brows, Wu Bo, the general manager of the film and television city who was accompanying him, immediately tensed up, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He quickly stepped forward and explained somewhat obsequiously, "Chairman Li, this film studio is quite large. Sometimes, when there are no major film crews working, we allow some small teams or models from outside the industry to come in and shoot, which helps to increase the popularity of the scenic area and generate some extra revenue..."

"General Manager Wu." Upon hearing Wu Bo's words, Zhang Yuxi interrupted Li Feng before he could speak.

"I don't recall seeing any accounts for the venue usage fees for these print models in the financial reports submitted by the film studio to the group for the first two quarters, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Bo's face turned deathly pale, and he remained speechless for a long time.

Meanwhile, the group's legal personnel who were accompanying them reacted very quickly, and had already taken out their equipment and started recording and filming evidence of the filming scene not far away and Wu Bo's panicked expression.

"Yes...yes, Assistant Zhang," Wu Bo stammered, trying to explain.

"We've included all of it in other categories of miscellaneous income, and this part of the revenue generation was only started in the second quarter, so the amounts are rather scattered and we haven't listed it separately."

Zhang Yuxi ignored Wu Bo's excuses and walked straight towards the small filming team.

"Please pause for a moment."

Hearing that he had been told to stop, the middle-aged leader who was directing the models to pose was taken aback, thinking that the scenic area's management personnel had arrived.

"Pause? We paid for the venue by the hour; every minute costs money. Who's responsible if we're delayed?"

He turned his head away while complaining.

But when he saw Zhang Yuxi walking towards him, his impatient expression quickly froze.

What a beautiful woman!

Whether it's her cool and capable demeanor or her flawless and exquisite face, she's several levels above the amateur models and internet celebrities they usually photograph.

Zhao Lingfeng quickly put on a smile and casually pulled out a business card, handing it over:

"Beautiful lady, you have such a great foundation! Interested in joining our company? Trust me, if you agree, we can turn you into a superstar in no time!"

Seeing that Zhang Yuxi didn't take the business card, Zhao Lingfeng wasn't embarrassed at all and continued his enthusiastic sales pitch: "Beautiful lady, don't be skeptical. Our Hangzhou Xingmeng Media is quite powerful in the industry. Many of today's super popular stars started their careers here. Do you know that super hot Angelababy? Before she became famous, she filmed some outdoor scenes here!"

Zhao Lingfeng got more and more excited as he boasted, but as he was bragging, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuxi's back.

It was a large, dark mass of people, flanked by burly security personnel, while in the center stood a young man with a deep expression.

Zhao Lingfeng's voice abruptly stopped.

As someone who makes a living on the fringes of the film and television industry, how could he not recognize that face that frequently appears in major financial headlines and technology summits?

Li Feng!

The helmsman of the Haofeng Empire!

The land beneath my feet is, frankly speaking, nothing more than a small toy under someone else's name.

A thought flashed through Zhao Lingfeng's mind, and when he looked at the cold-faced beauty in front of him again, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Why does this guy look so much like Li Feng's chief secretary?

"You...you are Chairman Li's secretary, Assistant Zhang?" Zhao Lingfeng's tongue suddenly tied itself in knots, and the business card in his hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to hand it over or accept it.

"I'm so sorry! I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously!"

"We paid the venue fee and bought tickets properly to get in! It was all legitimate filming; we didn't break any rules!"

At this moment, the photographer, makeup artist, and the young model in the cheongsam behind them were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Following Zhao Lingfeng's awe-inspiring gaze, they also saw Li Feng standing on the steps, observing coldly.

Mr. Li?

In this area of ​​Haofeng Film and Television City in Xiapi, who else could be called Chairman Li besides the big boss of Haofeng?

The faces of the group turned deathly pale instantly, and they didn't dare to move.

Zhang Yuxi ignored Zhao Lingfeng's somewhat comical attempt to strike up a conversation, and simply said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just here on behalf of Chairman Li to find out what's going on."

"How are the site fees and time arrangements handled each time you film here?"
