Cheng Xiaoyu was not very happy when he learned from Chen Haoran that the approval power was actually with Su Changjun, remembering that he was blocked by Su Hongwen at Su Dongshan's funeral, and thinking that Xu Qinning told him something about the Su family, he subconsciously thought that Su Changjun wanted to take the opportunity to pinch him, and he didn't expect that Su Changjun was playing other small abacus.

It is a little bit that he has a deep prejudice against the two fathers and sons of the Su family, and it is also a little bit that he doesn't want to deal with them at all.

Don't talk about it now, even in the past, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't like this nominal third uncle, and hated Su Hongwen even more, if the uncle Su Changqing's family still looked like a family, then Su Changjun's family was just spoiled children.

Cheng Xiaoyu was in an unhappy mood, not only because of Su Changjun, but also because of the trouble he faced.

These days, because scalpers have wantonly lowered the tickets for the "Reunion World" Bird's Nest concert on the Internet, coupled with the fact that the sailors have praised the "10th anniversary of Chinese pop music" and secretly belittled the "reunion of the world", the sales of tickets have not been satisfactory.

Regarding the false fare information released by scalpers and sailors, although the official website and "official whispers" have repeatedly refuted the rumors, saying that there will be no tickets lower than the face price, they will inevitably be affected.

Anyway, the official website shows that there are still a lot of tickets, so they are not in a hurry to buy them, maybe after the concert starts, they can get cheaper tickets with better locations.

There are not a few people who think this way.

Besides, it's not that there is no live broadcast to watch on the Internet, not to mention that the fans of the "Idol Project" don't have such high expectations for this concert, after all, some have already been to the scene to watch, and some have seen it on the Internet.

In addition, Chinese people have a herd mentality, for example, when doing business, you must hire dozens of people to line up in front of your store to pretend to be hot, and then it will attract many people to queue up to buy your goods. This trick has been tried and tested in that place in Huaxia.

For example, whenever there are rumors that the above disasters are about to occur, there will be price hikes and rush to buy goods, such as the rush to buy salt and banlangen.

All in all, it is a historical disposition for Chinese people to follow the trend, which is one of the reasons why no matter what is anything, from a house to an orchid, can be used by Chinese people to speculate on prices.

Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't bother to do this kind of marketing, it's all real data, the 18,000 tickets that have been sold are not counted, and 72,000 tickets were added later, which is not a small number, even if it is placed in a metropolis like Beijing, it is not possible to sell it for a while.

Cheng Xiaoyu also overestimated the performance market in China for granted, under normal circumstances, the ticket sales of the concert from the beginning of the publicity to the beginning of the concert, at least half a year to three months of publicity cycle, he decided to change places to the Bird's Nest when it was only more than half a month before the concert began, not to mention the urgency of time, so many singing guests could not be used for publicity, it was really a bit passive.

As of today, half of the tickets have been sold out in more than ten days, which is already because of Cheng Xiaoyu's incomparably strong appeal, and he will never dare to be so capricious if he wants to change someone.

The reason why the "10th Anniversary Concert of Chinese Pop Music" held on the same day dared was because they were originally positioned as a comprehensive party, and if the tickets were not enough, they would use sponsorship to make up for it, not to make money, just to prevent Cheng Xiaoyu from changing the rules of the industry, and to protect their interests, they were forced to hold this concert in a hurry.

At this moment, on the surface, the "10th Anniversary Concert of Chinese Pop Music" is undoubtedly a big success, because their 60,000 tickets are "sold out" in the sellers.

However, in fact, their "sold out" is false, one-third of them are apportioned, the Ministry of Culture has given tickets from top to bottom, and the public procuratorate and law have sent tickets from top to bottom, which is the rule, and these tickets will flow back to scalpers in most cases. In addition, because it is a joint event, each participating company has tickets to undertake the task according to the volume. These assessments cost about a third of the tickets.

The other two-thirds are in the hands of dealers, and ticketing websites and scalpers are responsible for sales, although ticketing websites are sold out, but if you really want to call for advice, you can still buy them in the secondary market, and the secondary market will adjust the ticket price according to the sales of tickets.

From the perspective of sales strategy, Cheng Xiaoyu's actions are really not a wise move, there is a clear understanding that there are tigers in the mountains, biased towards the tiger mountain, in order to benefit the audience, in order to change the chaos of the industry, he has assumed responsibility and risk, the key is that it is thankless, and the audience and peers still do not appreciate it.

This also made Cheng Xiaoyu realize the difficulty of the superiors, which is obviously beneficial to everyone, but short-sighted people only see the insignificant money in front of them. He also deeply reflected on his carelessness, originally he thought that with his appeal, selling out tickets was just a matter of minutes, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big resistance from top to bottom.

As for Su Changjun, no matter what he wanted to do, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't plan to hang him at all, and without thinking too much, he asked Chen Haoran to let the people from the "Shanghe" performance department and the cultural department communicate directly, hoping to give an explanation.

When the news arrived at Yang Zhonghua, as the Minister of Culture, Yang Zhonghua was actually not very satisfied with Cheng Xiaoyu, obviously Cheng Xiaoyu was not as good as Su Weilan who could be a person, held a concert, and did not send a ticket to the Ministry of Culture, he pinched his nose and admitted it, who called Cheng Xiaoyu not to offend?

But if they want to change the rules of the Chinese performance market and the music market, this should be what they should do, "Shanghe" vainly tries to dominate the entire industry with its own strength, which not only touches the interests of many people, but also touches the authority of the Ministry of Culture. This made Yang Zhonghua have to stand up and use Su Changjun to give Cheng Xiaoyu a warning.

Yang Zhonghua, who received the news, saw that "Shanghe" had no intention of communicating directly with Su Changjun at all, and knew that Su Changjun, who had no backer, was already certain to die, so he asked his secretary to call Su Changjun, and urged Su Changjun to complete the review as soon as possible in gentle terms.

Then I immediately replied to Shanghe and will complete the review as soon as possible.

Su Changjun received a call from Yang Zhonghua's secretary in the office, and he was still a little confused, his prompt was already so obvious, according to the general situation, shouldn't "Shanghe" be to communicate with himself? How to find Yang Zhonghua directly?

Su Changjun also overestimated himself, underestimated Cheng Xiaoyu's prejudice against him too much, not to mention that he didn't fully understand the current form, and regarded himself as an official with a big backer, waiting for Cheng Xiaoyu to take the initiative to call him, or take the initiative to ask someone to communicate with him, where did he think that Cheng Xiaoyu would not hang him at all, and directly called Yang Zhonghua to pressure him.

In fact, Su Changjun originally planned to use this incident as an opportunity to find a way to ask Su Hongwen to find Cheng Xiaoyu to "borrow money" to turn around, although there was a suspicion of asking for bribes, but Su Changjun had no other way, this was the best way to think of it once and for all with his IQ.

Originally, Su Changjun did not have no chance of success, but the premise was that he ran to Cheng Xiaoyu and cried poor and miserable, and repented bitterly, recalling the friendship with Su Changhe back then, maybe Cheng Xiaoyu was soft-hearted and might agree.

But Su Changjun couldn't pull it off, not to mention himself as an elder, and thought that his position as vice minister of culture was still a role in front of Cheng Xiaoyu, and wanted to use this matter to ask Cheng Xiaoyu to take the initiative to find him, but he cruelly discovered a thing, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't take him seriously at all.

This made Su Changjun a little annoyed and angry, but thinking of his debts, he still planned to endure it, and getting money was the first thing, but he could ask him to lower his body and take the initiative to communicate with Cheng Xiaoyu, and he was unwilling to do this kind of humiliating thing himself, so he called Su Hongwen and asked him to find a way to contact Cheng Xiaoyu, and asked Cheng Xiaoyu if he wanted to approve it himself quickly.

Although Su Hongwen knew that his family's situation was not very good, he didn't know how bad it was, after all, his father was still a "deputy ministerial" high-ranking official. But in fact, Su Changjun is only the main hall, because he is not the executive deputy minister, and he belongs to the low allocation. In addition, in terms of functions, the Ministry of Culture is under the leadership of the Central Propaganda Department, which is half a level lower, and it is not a key department.

As a mentally retarded third-generation, Su Hongwen once again played the attribute of a pit father, he still knows that Cheng Xiaoyu's Bird's Nest concert is facing a lot of negative news, and the tickets are not selling very well, and he urgently needs a shot in the arm, so he must be very eager to hope that the approval will be passed quickly.

Su Hongwen also thought that he had found an opportunity to show off his might, although he didn't have Cheng Xiaoyu's phone, but he had been in "Shanghe" for a long time, and he had the phone number of Shan Shaofeng, the head of the performance department, so he called Shan Shaofeng directly and said in a rather unkind tone: "Minister Shan, my father is responsible for the approval form in Shanghe, if you want to approve it quickly, notify Cheng Xiaoyu to call my father in person!"

These ultimatum-like words made Shan Shaofeng a little crying and laughing, but he and Chen Haoran glanced at each other, there was no way to call the shots in this kind of matter, so he could only tell Cheng Xiaoyu, and his tone was a little tactful, just telling Cheng Xiaoyu that Su Hongwen asked him to call Su Hongwen's father, Su Changjun, to solve the matter of approval.

Although Shan Shaofeng didn't say how bad Su Hongwen's attitude was, Cheng Xiaoyu could imagine that in addition to the fact that the two fathers and sons also did some embarrassing things in "Shanghe", Su Hongwen also hit the idea of four girls in the idol plan, so Cheng Xiaoyu just sneered: "Where did he get the confidence to call him? You will now announce the guest list and posters on the 'official whisper' and the official website, and ignore .....them."

Shan Shaofeng hesitated for a moment and said: "Yu Shao, it's not appropriate to do this, after all, they are our competent unit.... By doing so, we are intensifying the contradictions! Why don't I go and call Minister Su?"

Cheng Xiaoyu never intended to compromise, rejected Shan Shaofeng's proposal, and said calmly: "No need.... No matter how they approve it, we accept it, they can't let any of them go, right?"

Shan Shaofeng saw that Cheng Xiaoyu's tone was firm, so he could only stop persuading and hung up the phone.

Cheng Xiaoyu was in the conference room of the Shanghai Municipal Government when he answered the phone, and handed over the edited first episode of the "Olympic Bid Propaganda Documentary" - "A Bite of China on the Tip of the Tongue" to a group of officials to watch.

Mayor Guo Qiang spoke highly of Cheng Xiaoyu and hoped that Cheng Xiaoyu would complete the filming of the four-episode documentary promotional video as soon as possible.

After the screening, Gu Xueren asked Cheng Xiaoyu to have dinner together, Cheng Xiaoyu just wanted to shirk it, but he heard Gu Xueren pull him and say, "Did your concert have some trouble in terms of approval?"

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's no trouble! Everything goes well!" He didn't want to owe Gu Xueren a favor.

Gu Xueren also said with a smile: "In fact, the Prime Minister's Office has been issuing documents urging governments at all levels to accelerate the transformation of government functions and deepen the reform of the administrative system, especially the deepening of the administrative examination and approval system..... But you know, any reform means a lot of difficulties, and it can't be done overnight....."

Cheng Xiaoyu is not unaware of the unspoken rules of Huaxia's approval system, (deleting 500 words, mainly to say that the difficulty of administrative examination and approval, the constraints on social forces and market forces, and the constraints on the cultural industry, resulting in Huaxia's inability to export culture), so he said: "I can understand, but I still hope to properly loosen the restrictions on culture and art, after all, there are too many restrictions on culture and art, and there is no way to produce good works....."

Gu Xueren pulled Cheng Xiaoyu forward very naturally, and said: "We said as we walked, our canteen here tastes quite good, the dishes are organic vegetables, and the meat is free-range local pork and local beef, I treat ....."

Cheng Xiaoyu was about to refuse, but he heard Gu Xueren say again: "You don't want me to invite, I want to rub your food unceremoniously....." Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Cheng Xiaoyu could only nod helplessly and joked: "That's okay, I'll go with you to feel the taste of the special!"

The bodyguards protected the two and walked towards the cafeteria, Gu Xueren didn't say anything after listening to Cheng Xiaoyu's slightly ridiculous words, just smiled: "Many situations are not unclear, but our national conditions are complex, and you should also know that the supervision will only become stricter and stricter in the future, after all, there are two ready-made templates in front of Huaxia."

One is Hong Kong Island, where freedom and democracy are rampant, and the other is Singapore, which has limited freedom and authoritarianism, whether in terms of people's happiness index, GDP or per capita GDP, Singapore is much higher than Hong Kong Island, and Singapore is a country with stricter supervision in all aspects.

Now the international situation is very complicated, and facts have proved that the market economy and American-style democracy are poison pills with deceptive nature, and the Western economic theory system is simply a castle in the air, for example, Russia, which has been reduced from a superpower to a second-rate country that sells resources, and in addition to this, Africa and Latin America have believed in the nonsense of Western economists and have been played with empirical evidence, so it can be seen that the complete market economy is nothing but the elixir blown out by Western economists.

Another example is neon, which has accounted for the second largest in the world for many years, in fact, it cannot be regarded as a market economy at all, it is also a planned economy combined with a market economy, and even in essence, it cannot be regarded as a capitalist country, neon pursues reformist capitalism, which has both capitalist and socialist elements.

There are very good examples in the previous comparison, and it is only natural for us to choose the Singapore model, which is strict in all aspects, and all policies are aimed at ensuring that the fruits of reform benefit the people....."

Cheng Xiaoyu has been in the United States for several years, and the level of contact is all elites, although he is not interested in economics and politics, but when he reaches his position, even if he tries to avoid being linked to politics, he still understands much more than ordinary people, and people who have studied philosophy can always see the essence through phenomena, so he said: "I understand the truth, the world seems to be very harmonious, but in fact it is full of crises, and the history of the interaction of different peoples is through conquest, epidemics, The reverberations of the genocide that shaped modern societies have not disappeared, for example, Africa is still struggling with the legacy of modern colonialism..... Of course, not only in Africa, but also in Central and South America .... Indeed, some liberal arts intellectuals have now fallen under the poison of the West, thinking that American-style democracy is paradise, when in fact American-style democracy is nothing more than a paradise for the rich....."

When the two arrived at the cafeteria, Gu Xueren interrupted Cheng Xiaoyu's words and said, "Wait and talk, you can find a random seat to sit down first, and I'll order food....."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, found a remote corner and sat down, thinking that he was also quite intentional about revealing high-level policies to himself, and his good impression of Gu Xueren increased a little.

After Gu Xueren finished ordering the food, he sat down and said, "Director Cheng, you continue to talk ....."

Cheng Xiaoyu paused for a moment and said: "The Gini index of the United States (the higher the Niki index represents the greater the gap between the rich and the poor) has been soaring since around 1980, in fact, because of the impact of the death of the Soviet Union, my country turned sharply to the right and joined the American camp. China lifted the former Soviet Union into the dust of history, and at this time, the former Soviet Union was completely no threat to the United States, and the high taxation and high state transfer payment policies that the United States had been practicing before this time were changed, and Reagan and Thatcher came to power and began to engage in so-called neoliberalism, and the truth of neoliberalism is: the rich cannot be punished, the poor deserve to be poor, and tax cuts!

Subsequently, the ghost of Marx was released, the gap between the rich and the poor widened sharply, and the people's spending power could not rise, and the GDP growth rate of the United States plummeted..... That's how the subprime mortgage crisis came, an upgraded version of Marx's trap...."Then Cheng Xiaoyu sighed: "Speaking of it, the woolly bear is really miserable, the resources have been stolen, the system has been slandered, the land has been divided, and even women have been sold to the West as ****...."

Gu Xueren looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with some surprise and said: "I originally thought that you were a complete liberal idealistic artist after so many years of capitalist baptism, but I didn't expect you to see the problem so thoroughly..... There is a level!"
