"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so direct, shouldn't the Chinese people be very subtle?" Catherine asked, blinking.

"Hehe, I used to be quite reserved, but what was the result? Not only did I not catch up with the girl I liked when I went to college, but after graduation, I missed opportunities one after another, and in the end I couldn't even find a stable job, I didn't dare to take a car when I went out, I could only eat cheap instant noodles every day, I couldn't pay the rent, and I was driven to the rooftop for the night. ”

"Oh, what's the truth?" Catherine was curious.

"You can't wait for good luck and happiness, if you don't work hard, what originally belonged to you may be taken away by others, not to mention those that are full of difficulties and challenges, so you must fight, fight, grab, if you don't do anything, just wait for happiness to knock on the door, and in the end, most of the people who come to knock on the door will not be happiness."

"Oh? What would that be? Catherine stared at the young Chinese man in front of her, feeling more and more unable to see through the other party.

"The bank is urging the debt~~" Bai Lidu replied with a serious face.

"Ha~~Ha~~" Catherine smiled very happily.

After laughing for a moment, Catherine took a sip of her coffee and spoke:

"Bai, you may not know, if the national war a few hours ago had not broken out, or if the United States had won, or if the person who planted the flag was not you, I guess I could have increased the price to you, but no matter what, it would have been impossible to increase it to 4.5 million."

"What? Why is it involved in the national war again? Bai Lidu was confused by Catherine, as if he had lost his room for price increases.

"The relationship is very complicated, it has involved some political groups and current congressmen in the United States, and the general meaning is that there is patriotism in the United States, because you performed too well in the national war a few hours ago, so it has also attracted some unnecessary attention, and among these people who follow you, there are people who don't want our group to hire you for advertising endorsements, and this has also been used by some people on the board of directors, in order to keep your contract, I have done my best, if the price is increased, It is estimated that there will be very big resistance, Rachel and Valerie came to Huaxia with me this time, in fact, they were also appointed by the board of directors, and the two of them are not easy to deal with, so I suggest that you abandon this idea for the time being. ”

"Give it up for now?" Bai Lidu was stunned.

"That's right, although the contract is a one-year employment period, but the advertising fee is signed on a quarterly basis, as long as the publicity effect of the next first quarter is higher than expected, there will be no resistance to raising the price, if you can finally help me win the 11% of the shares, I will not forget." Catherine's voice was noticeably softer at the end.

"Oh! That~~Okay~~~" Bai Lidu's spirit was in a trance for a while, and then he returned to normal, and said: "What you said, I seem to have vaguely seen it in the contract before, but it seems that there is only a downward deduction of money, and you must remember to make up for the money you just said." Bai Lidu said.

"This is naturally no problem, but it must be up to you to propose, the time is almost up, even if we are decided, you go down to the fifth floor first, and I will come over later."

"Okay~~ Then I'll go first......"

After Bai Lidu came out of Catherine's room, he was inexplicably a little depressed and lost, he went upstairs to meet the American girl secretly this time, it seems that he has completely failed, not only did nothing happen, but he even promised to help the other party in a daze, and the contract that could have increased the price to 4.5 million seems to be useless, and I don't know how to explain it to Zhang Xuecheng and his wife.

Since the fifth floor does not belong to the guest room area, the elevator does not need an additional card, and after Bai Lidu returned to the fifth floor, he stood with Xiaohua and Zhang Xuecheng and his wife, who were waiting outside the conference room.

At this moment, in another living room on the fifth floor, in the pine and cypress hall, it seems that a large tea party is being held, and the location is just opposite the Yanbo Hall, the internal area of this pine and cypress hall is obviously much larger than the Yanbo Hall, and this tea party looks really lively, the door of the pine and cypress hall is also open, and there are constantly some elderly people coming in and out.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing here, it's very lively." Bai Lidu asked.

"I just went in to see it, it is a New Year calligraphy and painting competition that is being held, I heard that it is jointly organized by the Calligraphers and Painters Association and the Old Cadres Association in the city, it seems to be the sixth session, it is said that it is quite famous, many well-known calligraphers and painters and retired leaders will also be present." Zhang Xuecheng said.

"Oh, I'd love to go in and take a look."

Before Bai Lidu could get closer to the other side, Li Yongdong had already come over to inform everyone to go in for a meeting, so the four of them returned to the conference room again to continue the previous negotiations.

"Mr. Bai, we have just consulted the board of directors of the group, if you insist on raising the price, then I'm sorry, we can only replace other candidates, I believe that at such a price, even the first-line idol stars in your country will be tempted." Legal Director Rachel said.

"If I change the candidate because of me, will it affect Miss Zhang next to me?" Bai Lidu asked.

"Yes, it will affect you, if you want to change the candidate, you two will be replaced together, so I hope you will consider it carefully." This time, it was Valerie, the director of internal audit, who answered.

Bai Lidu turned his head and whispered a few words to Zhang Xuecheng, then looked at Zhang Xiaohua's mother and daughter, pretended to be very sad and said:

"Okay, you won, but I also have some small comments about the supporting terms in the contract, and I hope you can listen to them."

The two people on the opposite side saw Bai Lidu compromise, and their faces also showed a victorious expression, and when they heard that Bai Lidu still had a request, they naturally wanted to listen to it, and Catherine, who had not spoken, also spoke up:

"Thank you Mr. Bai for your understanding, and please put forward your opinion, if it is reasonable, we will also consider accepting it."

……

Half an hour later, when Bai Lidu and Zhang Xiaohua signed their names on the two contracts in front of each other, the advertising contract between the two was finally officially signed.

"Two, please put away your contract, an hour later, we will hold a short press conference in the sightseeing hall on the top floor of the hotel, at which we will arrange for the two of you to symbolically sign the contract in front of the media camera, and our Miss Kroke will also be interviewed and answer a few questions on the spot, and you two may also be asked questions by the media, I have a note for the interview, you two are also familiar with it, so as not to make some inappropriate answers on the spot." Li Yongdong said that, and handed over a piece of paper.

"Okay, since you have all notified the media in advance, aren't you afraid that the talks will really collapse just now?" After Bai Lidu took the piece of paper, he asked Li Yongdong curiously.

"Mr. Bai, now that we are already in the same boat, I might as well reveal it to you, we actually invited another group of alternative idol groups this time, I won't say the specific name, they also stayed in this hotel yesterday, if the talks really broke down just now, they will definitely be enabled, and I believe that at the same price, they will definitely accept it."

"Damn, Lao Mei plays these things, there is really a set! If Catherine hadn't talked to her, she wouldn't have been tricked. Bai Lidu said secretly in his heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I hope you can give us more guidance in the follow-up advertising shooting, we have no experience in this area."

"Haha, I don't dare to be it, advertising shooting, there will be a professional company to contact you at that time, I heard that you are very good in the game of Moon War, and you just helped our country win the United States, I should learn more from you."

The group was talking and laughing and preparing to leave the Yanbo Hall, while Bai Lidu and Li Yongdong walked in the front.

"Bang~Click~Click~Click~"

As the door of the conference room was pushed open from the inside, a large dazzling flash also suddenly hit, and a bunch of people with professional cameras gathered in front of the conference room door of the Yanbo Hall, there were almost twenty or thirty people, and there were a few people carrying cameras on their shoulders, after the flash, a bunch of people quickly approached each other, and more than a dozen microphones also stretched out in front of Bai Lidu:

"Great poet, hello, I'm CCTV reporter Yang Huan, have you just signed an advertising contract?"

Bai Lidu saw that it was really Yang Huan who was holding the microphone, and just wanted to answer, other reporters' questions also came to his ears one after another:

"Great poet, hello, I'm from Lingnan Satellite TV, please confirm, are you really Li Dubai in the game?

"Great poet, I am from Hong Kong Chinese Satellite TV, please talk about your thoughts on the national war that has just ended."

"Great poet, I am from Tenglong Live Network, and I want to invite you to ......"

"Great poet, don't squeeze it, you stepped on my foot......"

"Great Poet ......"

"Great Poet ......"

There was a sudden chaos in front of the smoke hall.
