Chapter 222: Crush! End! Surrender!

"Mr. Liao, the ratings are out."

Coming to a remote corner of the office, Qiu Tong called Liao Feng.

"3.19%"

Liao Feng fell into deep silence.

After a long while, he spoke: "Boss Qiu, come over for a meeting?"

"good!"

When Vice President Qiu Tong came out, the people who had surrounded him to congratulate him returned to their seats, as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Tong once again went from Jinling to the Magic City.

………………

"Why is this happening?" Liao Feng asked this question.

Qiu Tong fell silent. He also wanted to know why.

"The key is what to do next?" Qiu Tong asked.

The trend is now very obvious, and the ratings will continue to decline.

The second episode had already been promoted to this extent, with two stars even going so far as to stage an internal conflict, but the ratings still dropped by 0.4 percentage points.

How will the third phase fall? Who knows! Liao Feng was silent for a while and said, "Spend money!"

Qiu Tong: "It has already been spent."

Liao Feng: "Then spend more money."

The so-called ratings can be bought with money, but they are very expensive.

There was a large-scale accident in the previous life. Many TV dramas had to buy ratings, and even not buying them was not an option.

If no one buys, your TV series won’t sell at a high price.

If they don’t buy, advertisers won’t invest.

In fact, both of them were deeply regretting why they didn’t spend a lot of money to buy the second issue?

I was too confident in the second phase, so I didn’t spend a lot of money on it, but... its true colors were revealed.

"Also, what do you think about the fight over there?" Liao Feng.

Qiu Tong: "It seems that it will be difficult to hold on to "Millionaire Heroes", and the cash cow "If You Are the One" will most likely not be able to move."

Liao Feng: "You mean, the struggle is suspended?"

Qiu Tong didn't say anything.

Liao Feng: "Tell me, once the struggle begins, can it be paused?"

"If you pause, will they let you go?"

"Especially at this time, the more decisive and brutal we must be."

Qiu Tong: "What do you mean?"

Liao Feng: "Let's do it now."

Qiu Tong: "How do we do it?"

Liao Feng: "Use the above methods directly to investigate the interest exchanges between Zhang Yan and Shuang Lin."

"Check Zhang Yan first, then check Li Shuang."

"Politically defeated, completely rejected any cooperation with Frostfall Productions."

"Better, send them in."

Qiu Tong couldn't help but start to tremble. He really didn't want to go this far.

"On the one hand, we spent a lot of money to keep the ratings of Millionaire Heroes above 3%." Liao Feng: "This result is enough to explain to anyone."

“On the other hand, use power directly to dismantle their cooperation.”

Qiu Tong: "If that happens, it might also ruin If You Are the One."

Liao Feng: "How could it be ruined? They changed their appearance and made a "Sweet Date", "One in a Hundred", etc., completely copying "If You Are the One"."

"Even if the new show's ratings are only around 2.6%, all the revenue will be in your hands alone, which is still more than what you make now."

"The most important thing is, what will you do if you lose this battle?"

"Are you willing to step down?"

Of course Qiu Tong was unwilling.

"He is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows over the hills." Liao Feng: "Don't we have only one goal? To tear down the foundation of the leader Ergou in Jiangnan Satellite TV."

"Let me ask you, do you think there is any illegal exchange of interests between Director Zhang Yan and Shuanglin Production?"

Qiu Tong: "Definitely."

Liao Feng: "Then check it out. We'll find out the truth. Does Zhang Yan look like a man of steel? Can he bear it?"

"Don't worry about breaking the bottles, the result we want is to win."

"Check Zhang Yan first, then check Li Shuang!"

"Send these two people in, and we will still win this battle!"

………………

On the evening of April 24, the second episode of "China's Got Talent" was broadcast.

The next day at noon, the ratings were released!

3.25%!

It directly surpassed the second season of "Millionaire" at 3.19%.

After obtaining this data, the entire Shanghai TV station was in an uproar.

Damn! Leader Ergou is awesome.

Director Wang Shiqing called Lin Xiao.

"Master, you are just talking nonsense."

"I don't believe you!"

"You keep saying that the fourth issue surpassed Millionaire, but what happened? It surpassed it in the second issue."

"I will never believe your lies from now on."

"Director Chen just told me that our Magic City TV will be your strongest backer in the future."

"As for Jiangnan TV, you can fight with all your might, even if the show is cancelled."

"You can make another program and broadcast it directly on our Shanghai Satellite TV to make up for the income you made on Jiangnan Satellite TV."

Lin Xiao: "Thank you, Director Chen."

Wang Shiqing: "Brother, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Lin Xiao: "Brother, if you shouldn't say it, you won't mention it."

Wang Shiqing: "From the perspective of Shanghai TV, I hope you and Jiangnan TV will have a complete falling out, and then be completely tied to Shanghai TV. But from the perspective of a friend, I want to give you two words of advice."

Lin Xiao: "I'm all ears."

Wang Shiqing: "First of all, the more we have to prevent the other party from jumping off the wall at this time, the more dangerous it is, because trapped beasts will still fight, and when people are forced into a desperate situation, they will use tricks. They would rather lose a thousand of their own than injure the enemy eight hundred."

"Secondly, Jiangnan Radio and Television and its superiors are ultimately the power departments. They need authority and majesty."

Lin Xiao: "I understand, thank you brother."

………………

Inside the Renren office.

Liao Feng and Wu Lingxi looked at the two reports quietly.

This time, the difference is clear.

"Millionaire" had such a huge cost, such a large cast, and such a high starting point, but its ratings dropped after only the second episode.

Is the leader of Ergou really that strong? Is he really that magical?

From the beginning till now, he has never been defeated.

"If this continues, it will be very dangerous." Liao Feng said: "Now the entire satellite TV circle is still boycotting Master Ergou, protesting his extremely high share of the profits and his tyranny."

"But if every work of Ergou Jiaozhu becomes a huge hit, then this resistance formation will definitely collapse."

Chen Yizhou: "I think we should not linger on now, we should immediately plan for the second battle."

"Master Ergou's TV series 'Hidden' is about to be completed. We should immediately unite the satellite TV circle to suppress this TV series."

"When will it be aired? We will use two or three large-scale productions on stronger satellite TV channels to broadcast it together and suppress its ratings."

"Aren't "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2", "The Battle of Chu and Han", and "The Twin Dragons" almost finished?"

"Let several major TV stations broadcast these dramas to suppress "Hidden Man" and prevent it from coming to the fore."

Wu Lingxi was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I don't think we should waste our resources like this. I am very optimistic about Super Girl. I think we should mobilize all our resources and invest them in Super Girl."

"Moreover, we want to focus on the battle between Renren and Facebook."

"I think Super Girl will be a huge catalyst for Renren."

"As for the other battlefields with Lightning Entertainment, I think they should be left to our allies, rather than us taking the lead."

"If everything is left to us to lead, our energy will be greatly dispersed."

Liao Feng didn't say anything.

After Chen Yizhou left, he said to Wu Lingxi, "Lingxi, are all the infighting in your family so gentle and polite?"

“Why are you thinking about the second and third battles to solve the problem?”

"Why don't you think about solving the problem in the first battle?"

"How about using political means, using power means, to solve the problem?"

Wu Lingxi said: "Lin Xiao also has a backer, he won't just sit there and watch."

Liao Feng: "As long as there is irrefutable evidence, everything will be enough."

……………………

Vice President Qiu Tong once again came to the Magic City and came to the Lightning Group office building.

This time, he thought that Li Shuang would receive him again, but unexpectedly it was Lin Xiao instead.

"Boss Lin, you are indeed a genius." Qiu Tong: "Young people are formidable, young people are formidable."

Lin Xiao said: "Boss Qiu is also very generous."

Qiu Tong: "This time, I come with sincerity."

Lin Xiao: "Once again, I am all ears."

Qiu Tong: "How about we sign a new contract for If You Are the One, 50% each? And then continue like this."

"Not only does our cooperation continue, but our friendship also continues."

This is a request for peace, and this time it is indeed more sincere.

Qiu Tong: "Boss Lin, you also know that the issue of money is no longer the most important thing here. Dignity is more important."

Of course Lin Xiao understood.

Jiangnan Radio and Television has put in so much effort and paid such a huge price, it is impossible for them to get nothing in return.

There must be some results before we can report to our superiors.

As a private enterprise, Lightning Entertainment cannot stand firm and make no concessions. Otherwise, how can we save our reputation? Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, and then he said slowly: "Mr. Qiu, please believe that I attach great importance to the friendship with Jiangnan TV. I hope that our cooperation can continue for a long time."

"However, contracts that have been signed must be fulfilled."

"Let's not talk about the spirit of the contract. I can't set a bad precedent like this. Otherwise, everyone will have to modify the contract with us in the future, and we will be in a more passive position."

Qiu Tong: "General Lin, we absolutely do not want to end up in a situation where both sides are destroyed."

Lin Xiao: "We don't want to do that even more."

………………

April 30! The third episode of "Millionaire" was aired, and the ratings were released the next day.

2.85%, another big drop from 3.19%.

Upon hearing this number, President Qiu Tong's face turned pale.

Why is this happening?! We have promoted it so frantically and have spent a lot of money on the ratings, but why are they still falling? At this time, the leaders above could no longer bear it and called him over.

Some people knew what the leader said, but when Vice President Qiu Tong came out, his hands were shaking.

"What on earth are you doing?"

"You've made such a big scene, how are you going to end it?"

"What will people think of us? We made such a big fanfare, spent so much money, and invited so many celebrities, just to fight against Lightning Entertainment, just to get the station out of the control of Frost Productions."

"What's the result? What's the result?"

"Lin Xiao's China's Got Talent doesn't have big stars or overwhelming publicity, but its ratings surpassed yours in the second season."

"I thought you guys could hold on, but what happened? You kept falling, and falling!"

"Let's wait and see the ratings of China's Got Talent tomorrow. If it goes up again and the gap with us widens again, we will become a complete joke."

"I wanted to show off my face, but now I'm showing off my butt."

The boss's roar still echoed in President Qiu Tong's ears, and it was still buzzing.

"Whoever caused this trouble, he should solve it for me." The boss pointed at Qiu Tong and said, "You are the one who stood up and raised the banner of rebellion, so you should put it down now."

Qiu thought for a while and said, "Liao Feng wants to fight to the bitter end. He wants to scrap If You Are the One and restart it under a new name, which we will fully control."

The boss's face twitched slightly and he was silent for a long time.

This action is too big.

It means a complete fall out.

Even a fight to the death would be too risky.

Qiu Tong: "Leader, this is what I think."

"I'm going to talk to Lin Xiao again, for the last time."

"He holds 51 percent and we hold 49 percent. We are willing to give up the leading position."

"But he will eventually give in and fulfill our dignity."

Boss: "I only care about the results, not the process."

……………………

After President Qiu Tong came out from his leadership, he immediately received several calls from major sponsors of "Millionaire Heroes".

Although the tone was still polite, the meaning was very heartbreaking.

Mr. Qiu, we spent such a huge price, a record-breaking amount, to bid for the advertising fee for "Millionaire".

As a result, the ratings are now declining. Can they be stabilized?

The sky-high advertising fees we invested cannot go to waste.

Under the double pressure, President Qiu Tong almost collapsed.

After returning home, I couldn't sleep with my eyes open the whole night.

He began to regret why he had jumped out at that time. After the success of If You Are the One, advertising revenue increased significantly, and the entire group was very uncomfortable and wanted to reap the benefits.

But no one else stepped forward except him.

As a result, as soon as he came forward, many people pushed him up immediately.

He was suddenly treated like a hero.

All resources were poured into him, especially after he was linked to the Renren system, he became even more prosperous.

He still remembers when the ratings for the first episode came out.

That great ecstasy, that great sense of happiness, came like a surging tide.

Countless people congratulated him.

Now, only two weeks have passed, and everything has changed.

………………

The next day, the ratings for the third episode of "China's Got Talent" came out.

3.63%! Another rise! "Millionaire" keeps falling, while "China's Got Talent" keeps rising, as if there is no end in sight.

President Qiu Tong even began to doubt his life.

Is Leader Ergou really that magical?

Why?

Why did my show keep falling while his show kept rising? The key is that I spent money on the ratings, and a lot of money.

This is scary. Even after spending money, the number is still the same.

What if it doesn't cost money? What will the real data be?

But...this is not the most important thing.

More importantly, the latest ratings of "If You Are the One" were also released.

3.89%!

With no one paying attention, the ratings of If You Are the One once again broke a new record.

This... is another work of Master Ergou.

He only has two variety shows, but they firmly occupy the first and second places in ratings.

This kind of strength really makes people despair.

Now, everyone is asking him for results.

His leaders pushed him, Liao Feng pushed him, and advertisers pushed him.

Leaders don't care how the process goes, they just want a decent ending.

What does a decent ending mean?

The group and the competent authority have caused such a mess, so Leader Ergou must make certain compromises.

Anyway, the leader will definitely not compromise.

Otherwise, how can we save our face?

The actual benefits can still be given to you, but in terms of reputation, you, the Ergou Sect Leader, must compromise.

We can't, with such a great authority, bow to a private person like you.

………………

Qiu Tong went to Shanghai again to meet Liao Feng secretly.

"Boss Liao, the ratings can't be stopped from falling. It can't be stopped at all."

Liao Feng hissed, "Didn't it cost money?"

Qiu Tong: "This is the data after spending money. If you don't spend money, it will be even worse."

Wu Lingxi didn't say anything, but she said in her heart: "My intuition is right."

She had a feeling at the time that "Millionaire" was too monotonous. The first episode was very good, but the second and third episodes became less and less interesting.

If you are willing to put aside the gimmicks and do it honestly, you will be just like a millionaire.

If the suspense of passing the test becomes a reality, the ratings will be lower, but will gradually increase.

If more celebrities were added and the show was made completely realistic, with their star quality fully on display, the ratings would increase further.

It is even more likely that it will eventually stabilize at around 2.6%.

After all, ATV’s “How to Be a Millionaire” is a great success.

But they are not satisfied with such results. You know, the powerful gimmick and the confrontation between celebrities and ordinary people should become the ratings explosion point, but as a result, the flavor of the program itself is lost.

Everyone's attention is on whether the star loses or wins.

After a few issues, the suspense disappeared, and everyone could see that the so-called winning or losing was completely man-made.

Therefore, the ratings have been plummeting and there is no way to stop it.

But at this time, Wu Lingxi would not say it out loud to avoid making things worse.

Qiu Tong: "Boss Liao, what should I do? How can I save myself?"

Liao Feng said slowly: "I have already told you the answer, it is to be put to death and then to be reborn."

"Send Zhang Yan in, send Li Shuang in, abolish If You Are the One and replace them. That way, you will still be a hero of the group."

"The leaders have said long ago that they only want a result and don't care about the process."

Qiu Tong's face twitched.

Liao Feng: "People need to be strong themselves before others can save them."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“You have to be valuable so that others can help you.”

"I have huge resources here, but I also need you to move forward so that our resources can be used."

"If you keep going, there's still a glimmer of hope. If you don't keep going, your troubles will really come when Millionaire hits rock bottom."

Qiu Tong said slowly: "I understand."

Liao Feng: "We will help you. There will be a signal when the time comes. When you see it, you will know that we have already made an effort."

Qiu Tong nodded, then said goodbye and left.

Wu Lingxi looked at Liao Feng and suddenly said, "If there is a conflict of interest between us one day, will you use this method to deal with me?"

Liao Feng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became extremely gentle: "How is it possible? You are the love of my life."

"Besides, isn't everything I did for you?"

"More precisely, it's for our common cause."

……………………

Qiu Tong left Liao Feng and went to see Lin Xiao secretly again.

After just one week's absence, he seemed to have aged several years, his wrinkles had deepened, he had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were red, and I didn't know how long he hadn't slept.

"Boss Lin, let me say something from the bottom of my heart."

"I... really don't want to go that far."

"I no longer have any extravagant hopes for a decent ending. I just want the higher-ups and the group to end in a decent way."

"I'll retire, and you'll have to make some concessions."

“55%.”

“You take 55%.”

Lin Xiao remained silent instead.

Now the production of Frostfall is about 60%, which is actually not much different from 55%.

In terms of economic income alone, the gap is minimal.

At this time, his wisdom is really tested.

If you still want to cooperate with Jiangnan TV, you really can't be too overbearing and you have to let others have a decent ending.

Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death.

There are many situations where both sides are desperate and have completely turned against each other.

For example, there was Shanghai TV and Zhou Libo, and there was Guo Degang and Beijing TV.

Now, people just want Lin Xiao to make a nominal concession.

However, if we give up five cities today, we will give up ten cities tomorrow. Once the bottom line is broken, there is no bottom line.

After all the struggle to get to this point, this rule must be established, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted.

"Mr. Qiu, I also want to take this step, but I'm really sorry, I can't." Lin Xiao said slowly and firmly.

Qiu Tong: "Boss Lin, are you really going to push me into a dead end? Are you really going to scrap If You Are the One? Are you really going to fight to the death?"

Lin Xiao didn't say anything else, but poured the other person a cup of tea.

Qiu Tong took the cup of tea and said slowly, "Boss Lin, I have done my best."

Then he backed out.

………………

After seeing Qiu Tong off, Lin Xiao opened a door and found a private room inside.

Li Shuang and Xia Xi both sat quietly inside.

Lin Xiao walked forward, gently lay down on the sofa, and rested his head on Li Shuang's plump thighs.

The struggle has reached its most difficult point.

On the surface he has already won, because the ratings of "Millionaire" will plummet again.

And the fourth round of plunge may be even more shocking.

So, he has won a great victory.

But... such a victory is incomplete.

If the fight with Jiangnan TV really ends in a fight to the death, the only one who will be happy will be Liao Feng and his group.

Is it really going to abolish "If You Are the One"?

Private enterprises can swallow their anger for the sake of profit, but for public groups, dignity is more important and they can sacrifice economic interests when necessary.

If we continue on this path, both sides will suffer.

The Renren system is truly the final winner.

Although "Millionaire Heroes" was not successful, it still successfully undermined the cooperation foundation between Jiangnan TV and Ergou Jiaozhu, and destroyed his biggest source of income.

Just half an hour later.

Li Shuang's cell phone rang.

"You should go abroad to avoid them. They are about to take action."

When this text message came, several people's faces changed.

The other party was very decisive and swift. As soon as the negotiations failed, they took decisive action.

But who is this?

At the critical moment, he actually leaked the information?

This scene really reminds people of the 3Q war at that time, when Zhou Dapao simply escaped and ran away.

He said afterwards that if he hadn't run away, he would probably have gone in.

More than an hour later, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang.

"Director Zhang was taken away for investigation."

Director Zhang Yan, co-producer of If You Are the One.

Lin Xiao asked: "Is it public or secret?"

The other party: “It’s a secret.”

Lin Xiao: “Got it.”

But Li Shuang would never leave.

She has always been clean, and if she flees abroad at this time, it will be difficult to explain herself.

Almost the next day, good news came.

Ms. Li Shuang, president of Shuanglin Production and a famous female host, was elected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Shanghai.

Another day passed and more news came out.

Ms. Li Shuang was nominated as the replacement as the part-time vice president of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce.

At one time, several great honors came to her.

This means that this struggle will never affect him.

……………………

In fact, the other party is still unwilling to fight to the death.

Therefore, Director Zhang Yan was secretly asked to leave and an investigation was conducted.

I just wanted to dig out some information from him, such as the interest transactions between Shuanglin Production and Zhang Yan, and whether there were any abnormal transactions when the contract was signed.

Otherwise, why would such a detrimental and humiliating contract be signed?

And once Director Zhang speaks up, there will be evidence.

Then they can use this evidence to put pressure on Lin Xiao and force Shuanglin Production to compromise on the contract.

If you don't compromise, it will be a real fight to the death.

Originally, it was planned to send Li Shuang in, but now it is absolutely impossible because the Magic City reacted faster and immediately expressed a strong attitude.

Now, President Qiu Tong’s biggest hope is to dig something out of Director Zhang’s mouth.

He didn't believe that with such huge economic benefits, there would be no illegal transactions between the two parties? But...

The investigation lasted almost a week.

Nothing was found.

Everything between the two parties is clean.

Not to mention the huge economic exchanges, even when eating out, people take turns paying the bill.

And most of the time, the food is cheap.

Another Friday has arrived.

The fourth episode of "Millionaire Heroes" was aired, and at this time, President Qiu Tong didn't even have the courage to sit in front of the TV and watch it.

The most important thing is that he also received a phone call.

"That thing can't be done anymore." This was a person from the relevant company, and the call was made through a secret channel.

What this means is that we are unwilling to falsify the ratings data.

Qiu Tong trembled: "Why? Why?"

"Someone has reported this directly to the higher-ups, and if we don't respond, someone at a higher level will speak up and report directly to our supervisory department."

"Although everyone is doing it, you are going too far, going too far, and destroying the balance."

“So, the cooperation is over.”

At this time, President Qiu Tong's entire body was completely cold.

We spent so much money on the ratings, but it’s still so terrible.

Now, the data has stopped, then... wouldn't that be even more horrible? However, whether he likes it or not, the ratings data of "Millionaire" will still be released normally the next day.

He really mustered up a lot of courage to pick up the phone.

The other party simply didn't say anything at the beginning.

"How much? Just tell me directly?" Qiu Tong said tremblingly.

The previous period was 2.85%. As long as it doesn’t fall below 2% this time, the bottom line will not be broken.

After all, for a satellite TV variety show, 2% is already a very successful viewership rate.

“1.56%!”

In an instant, President Qiu Tong felt a black screen before his eyes and he almost fainted.

Directly and completely broke through all bottom lines.

This... this is only the fourth period, and it has already dropped to 1.56%? It is more than horrible. But, this is normal.

"China Star Jump" and "Water Cube Star" were almost cut short in the same way.

The key is that it will continue to fall.

He instinctively dialed a number: "How is Zhang Yan doing? Has he produced anything valuable? Is there any shady dealings between him and Shuanglin Production?"

"No, he bit it dead, clean and innocent, no deal was made."

"And no additional financial income was found in either his account or his family's account."

There was no breakthrough over there, but here "Millionaire" completely broke through everyone's defenses.

Now……

What should I do? A feeling of despair enveloped my heart.

At this moment, the shrill phone ring sounded and he picked it up tremblingly.

It was indeed a call from the leader.

"How many?"

Qiu Tong summoned up all his courage and trembled, "1.56%!"

On the other side, there was complete silence.

It was a terrifying silence, like the terrible silence before a storm.

"Do you know what this means?" the leader asked calmly.

Qiu Tong trembled: "I know."

This most terrible plunge of "Millionaire" means that all the underwear has been torn off.

This was no longer a failure, but a terrible accident.

With this kind of ratings, all advertisers and brands will not sit idly by and will come knocking on your door.

This means one more thing, the entire platform needs to be stable now.

If something happens to "If You Are the One" again at this time, it will be a huge storm that no one can bear.

It means the collapse of the pillar and billions of dollars in losses.

There has been no breakthrough on Director Zhang's side.

As for Li Shuang, there is no way to touch her at all. The Magic City is definitely protected by a strong force.

At this time, is it time to talk about abolishing "If You Are the One" and launching a copycat blind date show?

Stop joking, that would be completely self-destructive.

"Stability is everything!" The boss said slowly, "You have caused this trouble, so you have to clean it up yourself!"

"We should admit our mistakes when we should, and we should admit our guilt when we should."

"Apologize if you should, and pay the price if you should!"

"Go to the Magic City first, do what you should do, then come back and take on the responsibilities you should take on."

Qiu Tong's whole body was trembling, he knew what these words meant.

Beg for mercy first and admit your mistake first.

Then, come back and take responsibility.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Tong sat quietly on the sofa, motionless.

The winner is the king and the loser is the villain. This world is so realistic.

He took out his cell phone and almost instinctively called Liao Feng. This was almost his habit.

But now, before it was even aired, it was immediately shut down.

Tears fell silently.

His wife came forward and hugged him gently: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, at worst you can just retire early."

"It will be fine once I retire. I won't have to work day and night like this and lose sleep every day."

Qiu Tong patted his wife's hand but said nothing.

Early retirement? How can it be that easy? How can it be possible to land safely? Now my fate is completely in the hands of others.

It's easy for them to get you in.

Leader Ergou is so powerful that he was able to predict that "Millionaire" would face an extremely terrible failure and that "If You Are the One" would become the mainstay of Jiangnan TV. That's why he withstood wave after wave of pressure and never compromised.

Even though Director Zhang was taken away for investigation, he remained unmoved.

What they want is a complete victory, not surrender and lose half.

Now they have won the bet.

Now, there is no need for Leader Ergou to say anything else. He only needs to say that after this year's "If You Are the One" is over, we want to modify the contract or terminate the contract.

Then everything will be completely over.

As long as he issues this threat, many of his requests will be agreed to.

For example, he went in with Qiu Tong.

For example, the sharing of advertising revenue of "If You Are the One" has changed again.

After all, Canxing’s highest share in history was about 70%.

This is how struggle works. Both sides keep escalating the situation, and the struggle keeps escalating.

Until one side is completely defeated, and then the winner gets everything.

On this day, Qiu Tong did not go anywhere. He just stayed at home and even turned off his cell phone and unplugged the telephone line.

On Saturday night, for the first time, he sat in front of the TV very seriously and calmly, watching the fourth episode of "China's Got Talent".

Without any emotion.

It looks good. It’s really beautiful.

Li Shuang is a really outstanding and powerful woman.

It turns out that being non-sensational and being real can really bring a sense of luxury.

Leader Ergou is really awesome.

The next day!

He made a call in a very calm tone, but the other party was surprised. Didn't they agree to stop the cooperation? The ratings of "Millionaire" were already a foregone conclusion.

Qiu Tong asked, "What was the ratings for the fourth episode of China's Got Talent last night?"

The other party was stunned. You actually asked this question? This data will be fully disclosed in an hour.

“3.88%!”

It’s really amazing. The previous period was only 3.63%. It really keeps rising, as if there is no end in sight.

In the first episode, Million Heroes had 3.6%, but now it is only 1.56%. It was instantly killed by China's Got Talent and nothing is left.

Next, they will face backlash from advertisers and brand owners.

President Qiu Tong put on a neat suit and tie, then set off for the Magic City to admit defeat completely and let himself be slaughtered.

………………

A few hours later! In Lin Xiao's office.

Qiu Tong: "Boss Lin, Boss Li!"

"I formally apologize to both of you for our negligence in our job duties!"

"On behalf of the station, I would like to express my great sincerity and hope to continue cooperating with Frostfall Productions."

"If you have any requests, just ask!"

"I, for my part, will do my best to cooperate!"

……………………

Note: I have finally finished writing. My benefactor, do you still have a monthly ticket in your pocket? Please give it to me. I will thank you very much! (End of this chapter)
