"Why! Why do they get favored! "Maroney is in his office, furious with impotence.

Across from him stood two "fighters" who had been knocked out in the Friendship Boxing Cup, Phoebe and Torion.

The two are still angry that they didn't go head-to-head with Supreme Creative on an advertising campaign.

"If it weren't for their tricks, the tobacco company's ads would have belonged to us!" Phoebe is adamant that her creativity is impeccable.

Torion nodded in agreement: "That's right, the Supreme Idea deliberately provoked us and then sent us away with this dastardly move. ”

The two chattered about their dissatisfaction, but Maroni felt like two flies around him: "Okay! ”

Phoebe and Torion immediately shut up.

Maroney frowned, "I don't care if Supreme Idea used a shady trick or not, I just know that we missed a huge opportunity!" Phoebe, your bonus for this month is canceled, Torion, your bonus is halved! ”

The two of them suddenly felt a pain in their hearts.

"But that's not the end of it! We'll definitely have a chance to run into them in the future! Maroni snorted and propped her hands on the table and stared at them: "If next time, you guys are like this time, just fuck me off!" Got it! ”

"Got it! Feel relieved! Phoebe and Torion nodded busily, and then left the office at Maroney's motion.

Maroni sighed, sat in his chair and thought for a moment before picking up his phone and calling a contact named Figgs.

-----------------

In the IPG room, Creative Director Higg's face was so gloomy that it looked like the plaster on tires covered in mud puddles, and there was not a trace of blood in sight.

On either side of him sat Figgs and the heads of advertising departments in various industries.

Rose, who is in charge of food, and Gilmer, who is in charge of tobacco, are also on the list, but the difference is that the expression on Rose's face is much more relaxed than before, but Gilmer is sweating profusely, and he is nervously pinching his fingers under the table.

"Tell me, Ross ......" When the atmosphere was too silent to be any longer, Higg finally spoke, but his voice was slightly hoarse.

Because when the whole meeting was held just now, he had already made a big fuss.

And Gilmer's department, like Rose, was cut in half of the year-end bonus.

That's why Ross gloated.

"I'm sorry, Director, it was my strategy mistake, I thought Supreme Creative didn't do the tobacco industry and shouldn't ......"

"I thought! No! Do you know how much money we lost! Hundreds of thousands of dollars! Three projects combined, millions of dollars! Do you have that for your annual salary? If Supreme Idea continues like this, are we going to give away all the projects? FXXK！ YOU！ YOU！ Higg pointed his finger at the two people repeatedly: "The board of directors has given the final order, if you lose another project, resign immediately!" I don't care about you! ”

He couldn't help coughing a few times at the end, watching the most creative advertisements on TV in the past few days, he was really on pins and needles, like a fish in his throat!

If it goes on like this, he won't be able to keep his position, in fact, if it weren't for the board members behind him, he would have to resign obediently by now.

Damn it! Where did the supreme idea come from? Why do you grab projects with IPG every time!

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Figgs and asked, "So how did I arrange for you?" ”

Figgs looked at Higg with some embarrassment: "The people of the highest creativity are too simple, except for the founders Don De and Jimmy, there are only a bunch of customer service, and there is no value in buying it at all." ”

"I heard that they were interviewing recently, and I also found someone to pretend to be an interviewer to look at their company, but unfortunately they were interviewing on the first floor, and there was nothing there."

"Listen, I don't care! Figgs, I just want the result! Whether it's Jimmy or customer service, as long as they can give us information! Do it, you know? ”

Higg's fingers slammed into the table, almost poking a hole in the table.

Figgs nodded: "But we are not without progress, Gilmer has contacted Donde and Jimmy's old club, Lion Advertising." Maroni, the manager of this company, has already informed me of the information about the Tang and De duos, and here, you see. ”

He handed over a piece of paper, and Higg took it and looked at it, only to find that the information on it was very brief.

Only the two of them have worked as lighting engineers on the set, and Tang De has a close relationship with the CEO of Heinz Group, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.

"How is that possible! Figgs, so your findings are that the two of them started from scratch, got investment from Heinz Group on creative ideas, and then became the hottest creative agency in New York in just a few months? ”

Higg had a look on his look that you didn't know what you were talking about.

But Figgs replied helplessly: "At least judging from the information in front of me, that's the case." ”

"No, no, absolutely not!" Higg shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Hengmei! FXXK！ Definitely them! ”

"What do you mean?" The others were stunned.

"Hengmei has always been eyeing the New York market, and their business overlaps with ours, but they have never competed with us. So they propped up the supreme ideas, just to hit us. ”

"How is this possible? If Supreme Ideas can get such good ideas, why don't they use them themselves? Figgs was puzzled.

"You don't know! Hengmei is now fighting in the nest! Their two presidents have been going toe-to-toe, and maybe whoever will be the first to go out! So they've been desperately looking for performance to prove their ideas, but look at it! They didn't send the best team for this tobacco advertisement, but just a few newcomers! ”

Higg sneered, "What's the reason for this? It must be because a certain president knows that it is impossible to compete for the highest ideas, so he just makes a show! ”

Gilmer frowned and continued, "You mean that Supreme Idea was backed by one of the presidents?" ”

"That's right!"

"If that's the case, then when the supreme idea becomes famous, Hengmei will take advantage of the trend and acquire it, won't that president be able to rely on this performance to directly control Hengmei and become the management of Omnicom?"

Higg clapped his hands: "That's it! Because Hengmei's internal environment during this period was very poor, the president may be afraid that someone will dig into his corner and rob him of his credit. So under the guise of Donde and Jimmy, Supreme Idea was established, but there must be real talent behind them! ”

"No wonder I lost!" Gilmer suddenly realized, and suddenly felt reasonable.

Only Rose looked dazed, so what is he, the city is on fire and the fish in the pond? Hengmei also has no accumulation in the food industry.

But in any case, this reason is at least enough to explain to the higher-ups!

No one knows what Higg really thinks, and no one knows if he really agrees with his guesses. All they know is that he went to the board after the meeting, and by the time he came down, his face had lost his worries and was replaced by a kind smile.

It seems that the shaky position has been retained by him.

Meanwhile, on the CAA side, Don met Carl again in the restaurant.

He has good news for Donde!
