Chapter 106: The Minority Obeys the Majority
Although Mr. Andrew's words were ruthless, they were in fact like this, and since they chose to participate in this game, they should be mentally prepared for such a sudden disaster. Ludeman hesitated.
"But this can be avoided after all, what Mr. Lin and I mean is whether we can suspend the live broadcast first, withdraw all the players, and wait until the situation of the volcano stabilizes before continuing. Chu Tianfang put forward his own suggestion.
"Oh, Mr. Chu, are you kidding? Do you know what it means to interrupt the live broadcast, which means that we will lose hundreds of millions of dollars every day!" Andrew objected loudly: "And how do we explain to those TV stations and advertisers and all our partners?"
"Yes, Mr. Chu, not to mention the loss of program income, the compensation alone is an astronomical amount!" Mu Jipu made a surprised expression, expressing his incredulity at Chu Tianfang's naïve proposal.
"I can talk to TV stations and advertisers, and I think they can understand. Chu Tianfang still insisted on his own opinion, human life is as big as the sky!
"Mr. Chu, I don't think you're thinking about this seriously. If the volcano hadn't erupted, we would have lost a huge amount of revenue needlessly, and if the volcano had erupted or even destroyed the island, our show would not have been able to continue, and in that case, our losses would have been immeasurable!
Suzuki Tobishima's laughter sounded like a ghost crying.
"No live show can attract so many people, even the World Cup, which is only a billion people...... Think about it, we could make history!Hahaha, I'd love to see that island destroyed by a volcano, it would be spectacular!" Andrew danced with excitement.
"We ...... Let's vote by a show of hands, ahem, ahem......" said the thin old man suddenly.
He spoke in a small voice, and every word seemed to be uttered with great difficulty, accompanied by a violent cough, and wiped his mouth with a snow-white handkerchief, on which there was faint red blood......
His name is Ouyang Changsheng, and he is the head of the Ouyang family, one of the four major families in Jiangnan. It's been more than ten years since I've been terminally ill, and it looks like I'm going to die at any time, but after so many years, I'm openly alive.
"Well, raise your hand in agreement with the pause of the show. Chu Tianfang didn't say much nonsense, and raised his hand high.
Lin Xiusheng also raised his hand without hesitation, Ouyang Changsheng covered his mouth with his hand again and coughed violently, and he didn't know if he wanted to raise his hand?
Ludeman, the old black man, hesitated for a moment, apparently after a struggle of ideas, but finally raised his hand.
Andrew and Mujeep both sneered, while that Suzuki Toshima spoke directly: "I don't agree with the suspension of the show." ”
Now it's three to three!
Chu Tianfang looked at Ouyang Changsheng: "Old Mr. Ouyang, you have to make a statement first?" Ouyang Changsheng coughed non-stop, did not speak, did not raise his hand, just shook his head, that means naturally disagree, four to three.
"Alas...... It looks like we're 4-4 even, and I've long said we need to find a collaborator. So what should we do now? The differences cannot be resolved......" Chu Tianfang spread his hands and expressed regret,
He has long proposed to absorb another investor, in the case of an odd number, in order to raise his hand to vote, and divide the number, now that it is four to four, how to solve the problem?
"Hehe, Brother Tianfang, Mr. Xiao hasn't expressed his position yet, how did you calculate this four-to-four?" Ouyang Changsheng suddenly stopped coughing again.
"Mr. Xiao is benevolent, his attitude doesn't need to be asked, it must be the player's life first, right, Mr. Xiao?" Chu Tianfang was sure that Xiao Tianfu would support his opinion, otherwise he would not have said so.
"Well, the poor Dao thinks that we still need to go with the flow, the volcano erupts, this is the will of heaven, how can the will of heaven be violated? The damned will die, we can't save it, the undeserving one, and we don't need to worry about it, naturally we can't die......"
Although it is said that the clouds and mountains are covered with fog, the meaning is self-explanatory.
"Ah, Mr. Xiao, ......" Chu Tianfang and Lin Xiusheng were both taken aback.
"Since it's a six-on-two situation, the minority obeys the majority, let's go on, hahaha, I can't wait to see the volcano erupt!" Andrew laughed, very proud.
"I suggest we can get out of the way so we can get a big deal out of it!" Mujeep suggested.
"I have reservations about this! But if the disaster really happens, we must go all out to rescue and do whatever it takes! Everyone has no opinion on this, right?" Chu Tianfang felt helpless, so he had to retreat to the second.
"Haha, of course, we are very humanitarian, we must launch a rescue at all costs, I think that scene will definitely move many people......"
Andrew laughed again as he spoke, and he didn't know what was so funny about it!
At the end of the meeting, Chu Tianfang turned off the TV wall and said angrily: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Ouyang, I didn't expect you two to be so hard-hearted!"
"Hehe, God, it's not that I'm hard-hearted, it's that your heart is too soft, you don't do business, you don't take charge of the army, you are not so qualified as a businessman and the leader of your group!"
Ouyang Changsheng laughed, but accused Chu Tian of letting it go.
"I also know that this is a commercial practice, but human lives are at stake! That's thousands of human lives, it's not a cold number, they all have parents and brothers, and once a disaster happens, how many families will have to ......."
Chu Tian couldn't say anything about being deflated, he just shook his head again and again.
"Tianfang, you don't understand what Senior Ouyang meant...... Senior Ouyang, I don't think I can tease them, Tianfang and Xiusheng are honest people, don't hold back a good one, in case they get angry and don't do anything, do you want the two of us old people to show up and do these mundane things?" Xiao Tianfu showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he looked light.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this, do you two have something to hide from us?" Chu Tian was stunned.
"Tianfang, Xiusheng, do you think, the volcano on the island will not erupt sooner or later, but it will erupt just in time for this year? Don't you think this is very strange?" Ouyang Changsheng said slowly.
"I don't know what you mean by that, it's an active volcano, so it's not surprising to be in time for this year. Lin Xiusheng felt that this was normal.
"Where there is an effect, there must be a cause, and where there is a cause, there is an effect, and this is true of everything in the world. The more Ouyang Changsheng spoke, the more mysterious it became.
"Old Mr. Ouyang, we are all laymen, but we can't understand your unfathomable words. If you have any advice, you might as well say it clearly, and let the two of us rest assured!" Chu Tianfang was very dissatisfied, how could this still be on the edge?
"Hehehe, the problem is that there are some words, he can't say it explicitly, as the so-called heavenly secret can't be revealed...... Okay, my old man will give away his ten-year life span today and tell you a little bit about it...... As for the volcano, it will erupt, but the level of the eruption is not large, and it will not have any fart impact on the island, and at most a few people will be killed or injured, so you can rest assured, right?"
Ouyang Changsheng didn't cough anymore at this time, and spoke smoothly, just like a normal person.
