Chapter 1098: Chapter 1067: Future Direction

This year’s profit is quite considerable, with a one-percent share amounting to 960,000.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Auntie, Sister-in-law, please don’t be polite. The dividends you received are all accounted for, no more, no less, perfectly right. If the money distributed is more, it proves that our business is doing well."

"Yes, Sister-in-law, Huanhuan," Jiang Lifang smiled. "We’re all family, Tiantian wouldn’t lie to you. Besides, this money is rightfully yours, so there’s no need to decline it. Normally Zhekun and I are not in Yanjing, and you and Mother have always been so supportive. Her showing you respect and gratitude is only proper; you shouldn’t be so formal with her."

Song Chunli laughed and said, "That’s nonsense. Since we are family, it’s only right that I, as your aunt, should help out when you’re not around."

"Alright, just take the money, and remember their kindness," Old Madam Huo said. "Family needn’t speak as if they are strangers. Watch TV, the sketch comedy is about to start."

"Hehe, let’s watch the TV," Song Chunli laughed, eating the cut fruits on the table.

The family watched TV happily together.

Such a harmonious atmosphere greatly pleased the elders, the Huo Family’s Main Wife, and the Second Wife.

The following day, everyone, big and small, kowtowed and exchanged New Year’s greetings, receiving red envelopes.

In the afternoon, the Huo Family’s Second Wife returned home, as it was Jiang Lifang’s day to visit her mother’s house for the New Year.

After that came visits to relatives and sumptuous meals, which the children particularly enjoyed.

Even a heavy snowfall in Yanjing City failed to dampen the festive mood of the New Year celebrations.

The new year had begun, and after the New Year’s festivities, everyone resumed their busy routines.

He Tiantian was no exception and started practicing.

The leisure entertainment venue she was preparing to invest in had yet to be finalized, so if she wanted to swim, she would still have to do it at the team center while setting a good example for the kids.

Having promised to win them gold medals, she had to follow through, lest the children say she didn’t keep her word.

After the Lantern Festival, Qi Xiaoyan returned from her hometown.

Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin came to He Tiantian’s house together to meet with the future shareholders, discussing and making necessary modifications where needed.

Yuan Hua, Wang Ying, Jiang Wenwen, and Qi Xiaoyan were already waiting.

Because it was the weekend, they were able to gather everyone together.

Huo Yingjie sat next to He Tiantian, holding a teacup and sipping water lightly.

"You’ve all seen the business plan. Feel free to make any suggestions," Tang Qian said. "If they’re reasonable, I’ll make the changes."

He Tiantian smiled and replied, "There’s nothing wrong with the business plan. We’ve worked together before, and we’ll continue the same way. Their work is all related to the entertainment industry, so you’ll need to take good care of them."

"Of course, we’re all on the same team," Tang Qian said. "If there are no issues, let’s draw up the contract, set up the company, and start shooting the first movie to produce Xiao Yan’s cassette."

Qi Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up, excitedly asking, "Really, I can do that?"

"Certainly," Tang Qian said. "You’re not only our company’s boss but also our first artist, so naturally, we’ll produce your cassette. I’ve listened to your songs, and you’ve got a lot of room to grow. I’ll find someone to write lyrics and compose music for you. As for Yuan Hua, she’s our company’s lyricist. By the way, if your writers’ association has any good poetry, you can also buy it; the copyright fees are substantial."

"I will," Yuan Hua said, naturally considering the company’s interests as she was one of the bosses.

"As for Wenwen and Wang Ying who are in fashion, I think we should start with a magazine. We can accept various fashion news, such as dressing advice, and the cosmetics and clothes used inside can be promoted through your studios. Of course, the magazine won’t just feature you; it will include other content. How does that sound?"

"That’s great," Jiang Wenwen said excitedly. That way, she would become Huaxia Country’s fashion icon.

"Yes, I agree. We can also sponsor some," Wang Ying said. With such promotion, they could open boutiques across the country and expand their market further.

"Tiantian, any other ideas?" Tang Qian asked. He Tiantian always had the most ideas, and he was eager to hear her suggestions.

He Tiantian thought and said, "Since we’re moving towards the big screen, we should consider building cinema chains. It might be a bit early to mention this, but we must keep it in mind."

"Yes, that’s true. When the time is right, I’ll invest in cinema chains too," Tang Qian said. "It’s a bit difficult under the current circumstances since state-owned cinemas dominate, and these places often have poor environments and service. But if policies allow, I’ll take action as soon as possible."

He Tiantian’s concern was not without reason.

The domestic entertainment environment itself was not ideal, and if a movie was made but the cinemas didn’t schedule it, the investment would be in vain.

Huo Yingjie had been listening quietly without speaking.

Everyone was used to Huo Yingjie behaving like this; others would talk, he wouldn’t, but he would just happily stick by He Tiantian’s side and listen quietly.

"Yingjie, any thoughts?" Tang Qian asked, looking at Huo Yingjie; he was actually curious about the status of the film technology.

"Hehe, none," Huo Yingjie said. "As for anti-piracy technology for film, I’ve already made progress on my end. Once everything you’ve prepared is complete, you should be able to purchase quality film on the market."

Tang Qian was overjoyed, not expecting Huo Yingjie to work so quickly.

"Thank you so much," Tang Qian laughed. "Let’s drink a couple extra today."

As Tang Qian was speaking, Niu Dajun came in from outside and said, "What a coincidence, I just caught a foolish pheasant, and I’m stewing it for lunch."

"That’s a real delicacy," Tang Qian laughed. "We’re in for a treat. Yingjie, bring out your good wine."

He Tiantian said with slight disdain, "You come to my house empty-handed and still want to drink?"

Qi Zhengmin chuckled and said, "Hehe, Sister Tiantian, don’t be mad. I’ve brought over the two fine bottles of red wine from Tang Qian."

"Ah?" Tang Qian was taken aback, not expecting his wife to bring his prized wine, and he looked slightly mournful. "I can’t even bear to drink them myself."

"Hehe, I knew you’d be reluctant to drink them, so I gave them to Sister Tiantian," Qi Zhengmin laughed, showing no sign of bending her efforts outward.

"What? Our family can’t enjoy your good wine?" He Tiantian retorted, feeling pleased; this sister-in-law was quite good.

Tang Qian gave a wry smile and said, "Of course you can, of course."

"Well, that settles it," He Tiantian said, knowing they were joking but nonetheless enjoying the banter.

Just then, Snake King finished work and just happened to come home. After washing his hands, he joined in for the meal.
