"When Director Zhao, Miss Yi, and other artists were talking to them, they kept trying to see which company could offer the highest price. Minister Cai and I have already done our best, but they are a bottomless pit."
Director Bai from the brokerage department echoed this.
"Okay, I understand. Please put a list of those who have signed and those who have not signed in my office later."
"Director Zhao, I've already compiled these lists for this matter. I'll personally deliver them to your office shortly."
.................................
The meeting lasted for more than two hours before Zhao Xukun allowed the ministers of several major departments to leave the meeting room first.
Just as several ministers stood up to leave, Zhao Xukun deliberately spoke to Minister Yao of the club department.
"Minister Yao, please stay with us. I want to hear your report on some matters."
Yao Yixuan was completely confused by Zhao Xukun's sudden call. She had no idea that Zhao Xukun would suddenly ask her to stay, and she didn't know why Zhao Xukun asked her to stay.
Since the boss wanted to stay, Yao Yixuan had no choice but to stay.
"Oh, okay, boss!"
After everyone else left the meeting room, only a few company executives and Yao Yixuan were left in the room. The atmosphere was no longer as tense as before. Most of them were already used to Zhao Xukun's preference for holding a small meeting after a large one.
Generally, in the following small meetings, Zhao Xukun would steer the general direction of the company's future development, and then let the people below implement their own work requirements.
A few people drank some water and sorted their clothes.
"Manager Shen, regarding what you just mentioned to me on the road about Xiao Wang's Maomao TV frequently suppressing and provoking our company, we can all discuss this matter and brainstorm."
"Director Zhao, my opinion remains the same as before. Although Maomao TV's user base isn't as large as Douyu, YY, and other live streaming apps, Xiao Wang has Lao Wang's backing. If we confront Xiao Wang and his team directly, we might not be able to defeat them."
"Also, through my special connections, I've heard from the top executives at Mammoth TV that many don't consider Mammoth TV their main competitor. So, in recent months, Xiao Wang's Mammoth TV has been constantly suppressing our products. It's actually just a provocation to maliciously invite the artists they want to sign."
"Also, I also heard that Xiao Wang's intention in creating Maomao TV wasn't to focus on the domestic market. His main purpose was to sign attractive female artists from home and abroad to his company for Xiao Wang's entertainment. I can't tell whether this news is true or not, but I still feel that these two pieces of information are quite reliable."
"If these two pieces of information were unreliable, there was no need for Xiao Wang to send someone here to discuss some issues with you last year. If they really wanted to completely suppress us, with Xiao Wang relying on his father's domestic power, our company would have been suppressed by them long ago, and we wouldn't be able to survive until now."
Yang Deyun still regards Xiao Wang's Mammoth TV as a gimmick. Xiao Wang really has no intention of having a decisive battle with Mammoth TV. It is possible that Xiao Wang does not take Mammoth TV seriously at all.
"President Yang, I think our company should be prepared for danger. Xiao Wang's actions over the past few months have already told us that they want to bide their time. They don't want to acquire our Mammoth TV themselves, but want to rely on outsiders to prevent our Mammoth TV from surviving in the domestic market."
"Some things are obvious. If I remember correctly, when Director Cai of the Human Resources Department went to sign the artists that Maomao TV had their eyes on, we were one step ahead and signed a few artists first. The people sent by Xiao Wang negotiated with our company and made a harsh statement. As long as the artist in China is favored by their company, no media company can compete with them. Otherwise, they will use all their connections in China to put our company out of business."
"Not only that, they also sent people to broadcast some inappropriate content on our company's Mammoth TV platform. Last month, our administrative director and I went to the city to discuss some issues with the Mammoth TV software."
"We were fined over 30 million yuan back then. Do you still remember that?"
Wu Qingqing decided not to remain silent at this meeting.
"Oh, there's this thing?"
"Why didn't you notify me at the time?"
Zhao Xukun's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't care about the small amount of money of the 30 million yuan fine, but the fact that Xiao Wang had already gotten to this point and allowed people to do such illegal and criminal things in his live broadcast software.
"Director Zhao, didn't Secretary Su tell you about this incident?"
Manager Shen asked curiously.
Zhao Xukun tilted his head slightly to look at Su Zixuan who was sitting next to him recording some things from the meeting. Su Zixuan seemed a little embarrassed.
"Boss, when this happened, I sent a message to your account. I even checked your message that night, but you didn't reply. I wanted to call you, but the message showed as read but not replied. I thought you had already asked other executives to handle this matter. It was late at night, so I didn't tell you over the phone."
"Oh, next time if something important happens, no matter how late it is at night, you must give me a call."
"I'm usually busy at school, so I might have read some news and then suddenly forgotten it."
"Understood, Boss. I'll be more careful next time."
"Also, Mr. Zhao, something happened last week. I also heard about it from Director Cai of the Human Resources Department."
"Since November of last year, our Mammoth TV's traffic has begun to show its growth. By December, it had reached tens of millions of views. Mammoth TV actually sent someone to privately negotiate with several of the company's top anchors."
"I heard that Chen Wang and Zhang Hongfa, who you personally pointed out, have all been privately met by Mammoth TV."
