Chapter 160: Steve's Displeasure
Luo Changhui's embarrassed voice came from the other end of the phone, and he continued with the flipping of the paper: "Well, to promote Chinese traditional Chinese medicine and support the development of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, such an important competition still needs to be participated." ”
Nima, sure enough, to the point of shamelessness, was able to shout such a high-sounding reason in a moment, and even Zhang Yang admired it.
"Alright, let's settle it." Zhang Yang hung up the phone after speaking.
Lu Wenxuan was beside him, although he didn't know if he really called the mayor, but looking at his confident expression, it was obvious that he was not acting on purpose, and he was even more surprised in his heart.
Isn't it too unreasonable for a student to call the deputy mayor a brother?
The office phone on Feng Yanran's desk rang, she walked over to look at the phone number, and immediately said to Zhang Yang: "From the chairman's office, I must have asked if you have come back." ”
"Renpu, is the promotional video ready?"
"It's just a few minutes away." Xia Renpu and the three bearded men replied in front of the computer screen, constantly tapping on the keyboard.
"Yanran, you just sue him, and I'll go over in a few minutes."
As soon as Zhang Yang's words fell, the office door suddenly opened, and Steve actually walked in.
At this time, Feng Yanran also regretted it a little, and the phone should have been called by her uncle, reminding her that Steve had come to her office.
Dressed in a straight suit, the gray beard not only looked sloppy at this time, but more of a mature charm, and he was looking at Zhang Yang with a stern face.
And walking in behind him was Chen Chao from the business development department, who was also serious.
"You're here just in time Mr. Steve, and I'm about to report back to you on your latest work." Zhang Yang stood up with a smile and said.
No matter what I said, I also borrowed 2.7 billion from him, so I can't be too big, and there is still basic respect.
No, there is also 100 million yuan last time to promote the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament, and now it should be 2.8 billion, Zhang Yang thought secretly in his heart.
Steve didn't answer, but glanced at the people in the room, and said in a deep voice in Huaxia that he was not fluent in: "Let's go, go to your chairman's office and talk." ”
"No, just talk about it here."
Since he was so strict, Zhang Yang said with an indifferent attitude.
He just felt a little respect for Steve, but he wasn't afraid, and since he pulled down his face, there was no need to please him.
Lu Mengxuan and Xia Renpu are also people who have seen the world, and Steve was the CEO of the largest investment company in Donghai City with a high profile, and he often appeared in the media, so of course the two knew him.
And Zhang Yang's indifferent attitude made the two of them feel even more incredible.
Steve's face was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Yang to be so arrogant, and immediately said it in bird language.
Zhang Yangzheng looked confused, and Chen Chao next to him walked up and said: "Mr. Steve wants to ask you, why did we invest 2.7 billion yuan in Haitian Group, and added 100 million yuan to promote and sponsor the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament, but we can't promote Poten Group together?" ”
"How much are you going to pay for this sponsorship?"
"Twenty million."
Chen Chao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, are you afraid that we won't be able to afford to refuse? We put 2.8 billion yuan in your company, even if it is interest, it is enough to advertise it in a name.
"It's not about the money."
"What's the problem then?"
Chen Chao was stunned again, thinking that it was not a matter of money, you asked me how much money I was going to pay for the sponsorship?
After two sentences of conversation, it was nonsense, and Steve looked at himself in a daze, so that his translator didn't know how to explain it to him.
"This Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament is an exchange between Chinese traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and it is not appropriate for you to mix it in."
"Why?"
"You can just say why you refuse our investment."
Steve seemed to be really unable to help it, and spoke directly in Huaxia language, which was like the language of birds.
Originally, he felt that his Huaxia language was not fluent, and he was afraid that he would lose his identity as the chairman of the board of directors if he said it.
As a result, after hearing Zhang Yang say a few words, it was almost nonsense, and Chen Chao continued to ask with his words, so he simply asked more directly.
"Are you the largest investment company in Tokai City?"
"Of course, this fully demonstrates the strength of the Poten Group." Steve didn't bother to use Chen Chao's translation anymore, and said with confidence on his face.
"You are an investment company, how can you sponsor the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament for no reason?"
"Of course, it is to promote Poten Group and expand its popularity and influence."
"Yes, the purpose is too obvious, it is for the sake of my own company."
After a pause, Zhang Yang continued: "You are a foreign-funded enterprise, even if you sponsor it, others will think that you have other plans, but the sponsorship of Haitian Group is completely under the guise of supporting the development of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, even if it has a propaganda purpose, it is easier to be ignored and accepted by the outside world." ”
"If you squeeze in by force, it will even make the citizens feel that Haitian Group is also an impure purpose, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"As long as it is sponsorship, it is also a good thing for Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, and they will definitely welcome more than oppose it."
Steve is so easy to fool, although listening to him say so much, the inconvenience of language communication made him react a little slower, but after a pause, he said with a resolute face.
"Why do you have to sponsor the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament?"
"The atmosphere rendered by the media of the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament this time is very good, and if you sponsor it at this time, it will be easier to have a publicity effect."
It is undeniable that Steve just read today's newspaper and did not expect this competition to have such a big sensation.
Poten Group has just arrived in Donghai City and needs an opportunity to expand its influence, and Haitian Group is its own cooperative investment company, so of course he will not let go of such an opportunity.
After a meeting of the company's top management to study it, the current idea was decided.
"Do you have to sponsor the Three Kingdoms Invitational Tournament?"
"What do you mean......" Steve asked curiously.
"If Poten Group makes a high-profile donation to charity under so much media attention, will it be more able to attract attention and the goodwill of the public?"
Zhang Yang's eyes flashed with cunning and continued: "As a foreign-funded enterprise, Poten Group is willing to pay attention to Huaxia's charity, and what is thrown out is real money and silver, without any income, such a sensational effect is the best publicity effect. ”
As soon as his words came out, Lu Mengxuan was surprised, and couldn't help but be full of good feelings and even admiration for him.
A person who was still hypocritical this morning, in the afternoon, actually promoted charity in a high-profile manner, and was able to skillfully connect with foreign-funded companies, and her words were so shameless that she was amazed.
"Before I came to invest, I had already done some analysis of Huaxia."
Disdain flashed on Steve's face and continued: "Huaxia's trust in charity is extremely low, even if it is this investment in charity, it will be forgotten immediately after a short period of attention, so I won't do such a stupid thing." ”
As soon as his words came out, the corners of Lu Mengxuan's mouth immediately showed a wry smile, it is true that this foreigner knows quite well about the national conditions of China.
"Well, you're right."
Zhang Yang let out a helpless sigh and continued: "However, the low level of trust does not mean that the Chinese people have no enthusiasm for charity, too much false charity makes them no longer believe, but they all have a wait-and-see attitude, if they can make a high-profile move at this time and sincerely engage in charity, they will be remembered by them." ”
"Passionate? Are Chinese people still enthusiastic about charity? ”
"Of course, do you think that no one's children in Huaxia are indifferent?"
Zhang Yang said with mockery in his words, glanced at Lu Mengxuan and continued: "I think you should be no stranger to her, right?" ”
"She's ......"
"Lu Mengxuan, the first beautiful female teacher in Donghai City, has filmed a charity short film in the past, called the look of expectation."
"Oh, I remember."
With a look of sudden realization, Steve walked up to Lu Mengxuan and shook hands and said: "Miss Lu's acting skills are impeccable, which makes people move to tears, and it makes everyone very sad that you are no longer engaged in the acting industry." ”
His move showed his respect for Lu Mengxuan.
It also shows his concern about charity information, otherwise how would he know about Lu Mengxuan's affairs?
"Thanks, that was a long time ago."
After Lu Mengxuan shook hands, he replied helplessly with a pretty face, and his words were full of self-deprecation.
China doesn't pay attention to his own affairs, but a foreigner remembers it so clearly.
Of course, all of them reflect her attitude towards charity, which makes her full of sadness.
"It's also because your charity short film was banned that the Chinese people have questions, which is really sad."
"However, although Miss Lu gave up her acting career, she never left charity."
Zhang Yang took over the conversation and continued: "This time, she also made a promotional video about green Chinese medicine for our Haitian Group, and all the remuneration of 1 million was donated to those poor orphans. ”
"Really?" Steve asked unconsciously.
"Of course, it's not just her." Zhang Yang replied in a resolute tone, walked sideways in front of Xia Renpu and said, "This is Xia Renpu, the director of Donghai City Entertainment Channel, do you know him?" ”
When Zhang Yang introduced himself, Xia Renpu's heart trembled, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"I don't know." Steve looked confused and shook his head.
"Although you don't know him, it doesn't mean that he is not a hot-blooded man in Huaxia."
Zhang Yang's voice suddenly raised, and he continued with an excited face: "Today he has been busy with his own camera crew, not hesitating to go to the suburbs, carrying equipment and climbing halfway up the mountain to shoot, how hard it is. ”
He definitely couldn't give Xia Renpu a chance to interject, and after a short pause, he continued: "And he donated 300,000 yuan of his due remuneration to charity, can you say that the children of Huaxia have no enthusiasm for charity?" He is also the pride of our Huaxia, and I am proud to have such a friend. ”
