Chapter 851 -307: Red Envelope Shower, Novel Collaboration Plan_3
Kang Baohong woke up instantly.
“Right, the announcement just came out fresh, it’s still hot. Take a look at it, haha!”
Actually, Brother Xiao Yang and Su Zelin didn’t expect the TV station to move so quickly, but upon thinking about it, it wasn’t too surprising.
Because in recent years, the TV station has adopted a bidding method for the Spring Festival Gala. This year, however, they suddenly canceled the bidding and directly negotiated exclusive sponsorship. Naturally, the earlier this news is announced, the better, to avoid waiting until the bidding period is near to say we’re not bidding this year, we’ve already reached an agreement with New Era. Other companies that have been eagerly preparing their money for bidding would have grievances, so the news must be announced as early as possible.
“Okay, I’ll go online and take a look!”
Kang Baohong hung up the phone and excitedly got out of bed.
He brought a laptop on this trip, convenient for handling business matters anytime. The hotel had an internet connection, so he could get online once connected.
Booting up, logging into XP, opening Firefox, searching for the TV station’s official website, he saw a striking red announcement as soon as he entered the page. The title was related to New Era’s exclusive naming sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala.
Clicking in to read the detailed content, Kang Baohong couldn’t stop grinning.
This trip to Yanjing really wasn’t in vain!
It’s just that spending nearly three billion was a bit painful, but only the boss has such courage. If it were me, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
But he trusts Su Zelin’s decisions. Kang Baohong found that since New Era’s development, every decision made by this big boss, whether big or small, has been incredibly wise, as if he never makes mistakes, and there are countless brilliant moves.
If there are no surprises, after this year’s Spring Festival Gala, New Era should become well-known throughout Xia Country, becoming a nationwide reputable enterprise.
Having reached a cooperation agreement with the TV station, Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong returned to Shenghai that same day, after staying here for a few days. However, Su Zelin chose to stay for one more day before leaving.
He had an appointment with Zhao Mingxuan.
Before Su Zelin could call the man with glasses, the other party called first.
“Damn, Su Zelin, did you come to Yanjing to talk about the Spring Festival Gala sponsorship?”
Zhao Mingxuan sounded extremely shocked on the phone, even swearing once.
Before boarding, Su Zelin had told him that this business trip to Yanjing was to handle a small matter.
“Yeah, you know about it?”
Su Zelin thought to himself that this guy has really well-informed news.
“A colleague at our law firm mentioned it during lunch; he just happened to see the news. Damn it, is this a small matter, Are you kidding me?”
This time Zhao Mingxuan not only swore but also spouted some foreign words.
“It’s okay, as long as I think there’s a high probability of success, it’s all small stuff.”
Su Zelin said calmly.
Zhao Mingxuan: “…”
Would it kill you not to act cocky?
The man with glasses was speechless.
But he had to admit, the other indeed has the capital to act cocky.
He then asked, “So, you met the leaders of the TV station?”
“Of course I did. For such cooperation, the president and the most important leaders had to be present. We signed the contract yesterday afternoon and even had a meal together, otherwise, I would’ve arranged to meet you last night.”
Su Zelin still spoke as if meeting a few ordinary people.
Making Zhao Mingxuan wonder if he really reached a level he couldn’t imagine, or if he was just pretending.
But the man with glasses was truly quite envious.
After hanging up, he let out a long sigh.
If I had Su Zelin’s skills, even if I were from a small place like Jianglan, would Rongrong and her parents dare to look down on me?
Suddenly thinking of something, he dialed another number.
“Hey, Rongrong, do you have time after work today?”
Zhao Mingxuan’s girlfriend’s name is Niu Rong, and her nickname is Rongrong.
“What’s up? I’m going home tonight, so I won’t be going to your place!”
The woman’s side sounded a bit impatient.
After graduation, the two didn’t live together. Niu Rong mostly stayed at her parents’, while Zhao Mingxuan rented a place alone outside. His girlfriend would only come over to accompany him when she’s in a good mood, and Zhao Mingxuan didn’t dare to demand, feeling quite humble in front of Niu Rong.
“It’s like this, I have a high school classmate coming to Yanjing on a business trip. He said to have a small gathering tonight with other classmates in Yanjing, and I can bring someone, so could you accompany me?”
Zhao Mingxuan was practically pleading. He also wanted to take this opportunity to meet his girlfriend, as they hadn’t seen each other for several days.
Niu Rong snorted, “What’s the fun in going to your high school reunion? If you want to go, go by yourself!”
To her, Jianglan was just a small place, and the people there were bumpkins. She looked down on and didn’t want to waste time on it.
“Rongrong, come with me. After all, he’s come a long way.”
After a pause, Zhao Mingxuan added, “Besides, he’s a senior executive at a big company in Zhejiang Province, here for a business trip to Shenghai, and just secured the exclusive sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala!”
The man with glasses understood his girlfriend well. After graduation, Niu Rong became increasingly realistic and materialistic. She looked down on small figures, but if it involved someone with status, she might give face.
Sure enough, the next moment Niu Rong’s tone changed, “Really, you’re talking about that classmate with the last name Su who’s an operations director at New Era? Did their company really sign the exclusive sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala? That’s amazing! I heard sponsoring this gala costs at least hundreds of millions!”
Zhao Mingxuan had mentioned Su Zelin to her, but not because of Qin Shiqing.
He felt particularly inferior in front of his girlfriend, so he would elevate himself through connections with others of status, like who his relatives are or who his friends or classmates are, and so on.
Among those Zhao Mingxuan knew, Su Zelin was undoubtedly considered high-status, so he had mentioned him to Niu Rong.
“Haha, really, the TV station’s official website even put out an announcement. You can check it out if you don’t believe it. My classmate’s company is really wealthy; last time they bought land in Lin’an for almost ten billion, planning to build a super headquarters and even provide welfare housing for old employees! He and I are quite close. As soon as he arrived in Yanjing and signed the contract, he immediately looked for me.”
At this moment, Zhao Mingxuan also became a fan of Su, thinking that the more status Su Zelin had, the more face he had in front of his girlfriend.
After all, they are “very close” old classmates.
“Alright then, since that’s the case, I’ll go with you tonight!”
Niu Rong’s tone softened a little.
“Mingxuan, with such classmates, you should utilize it well. Such a big company always needs lawyers when things arise, maybe you can get big business from them!”
“Well… I’ll certainly do that. I’ll talk to him tonight.”
Zhao Mingxuan wiped his sweat. Actually, he wasn’t really all that familiar with Su Zelin. Their relationship only improved after graduation, but it was far from being close friends.
If he were Lu Haoran, perhaps Su Zelin wouldn’t hesitate to come for legal business when needed.
However, unfortunately, his relationship with others hadn’t reached that level. Moreover, Zhao Mingxuan’s pride prevented him from asking Su Zelin for favors. This talk was just to appease his girlfriend.
“That’s good, otherwise, your income is too low. In Yanjing, to buy a house, one would have to wait till who-knows-when…”
Niu Rong started a rant, chattering, and Zhao Mingxuan could only nod and agree.
