Would you like to shoot commercials for the group for free without any compensation?
These conditions... Mr. Liu was a little moved, and the size of his excitement was probably as big as the area of his fingernail.
Because the excitement was too small, Mr. Liu overturned it casually.
"Ms. Liang, who do you take me for?"
Mr. Liu even laughed at the question. "Of course the group wants to save on publicity costs. Ms. Liang's suggestion is for our benefit. If the spokesperson this time is an A-list celebrity, we can save millions by not accepting compensation!"
But is Xu Mei a top star?
Of course not!
Neither is Li Mengjiao.
No matter how satisfied Mr. Liu is with Li Mengjiao, he will always lean towards his own group.
The so-called advertising endorsement is paid according to the star's status. Whether the dairy group invites Xu Mei or Li Mengjiao to shoot commercials, it is to cooperate with the promotional plan given by Hunan Satellite TV. These two people are the winners of last year's talent show, and it is not abrupt to tie them to this year's talent show.
Mr. Liu is very satisfied with this publicity plan, but apart from this point, neither Xu Mei nor Li Mengjiao themselves are qualified enough to be selected as spokespersons by the dairy group in terms of popularity and status!
Newcomers have their own price for shooting commercials, and Mr. Liu didn't intend to pay them particularly much. Liang Dan was kind enough to save costs for Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu was still puzzled.
——What gave Liang Dan the illusion that he would care about this little money?
Compared with the spokesperson's remuneration, the real big money is the naming fee that the group pays to Hunan Satellite TV!
The majority of the money had already been spent, but in order to save a little money, an unsuitable spokesperson was chosen. Mr. Liu suspected that Liang Dan was insulting his intelligence.
When Liang Dan saw that Mr. Liu still had a smile on his face, he wanted to plead with him:
"Mr. Liu, Xu Mei already has a popular base, and is also our station's main artist for the future. You see, this isn't just a one-time collaboration—"
"How about a 20% discount?"
Mr. Liu suddenly interrupted her.
"What do you mean by 20% off?"
"20% discount on the sponsorship fee!"
Mr. Liu's conditions made Liang Dan smile bitterly. The sponsorship fee was collected by the station. Liang Dan had no say in whether to give a 20% discount or even a 9.9% discount.
Mr. Liu's face suddenly darkened. "Even a 20% discount won't do. You have no sincerity at all. I don't like being fooled. If you want to convince me, you have to show me something real."
It is definitely not possible to give a discount on the sponsorship fee.
As for the real thing that Mr. Liu wanted, Liang Dan thought about it seriously and found that he really couldn't produce anything... He just didn't know if Mr. Liu was a lustful person.
But Xu Mei agreed, and Cao Shao also disagreed.
Playboys like Cao Shao are all double-standard dogs. They can spend money themselves but they don’t allow their girlfriends to dye their hats!
Liang Dan could only vaguely ask Mr. Liu to go out for a simple meal tonight. If there was any decision, they could make it after the meal. The dairy group had been waiting for so many days, so they didn't mind another half day's wait.
Want to eat?
It's either money or sex.
Money is a good thing. However, as long as Mr. Liu continues to serve as a senior executive of the group, his income will be continuous and stable. In order for Xu Mei to be the spokesperson, how much benefit is Liang Dan willing to bribe him?
Forget it, with Xu Mei's fame, Liang Dan has limited options, so there is no need to throw away the big picture for such a small matter.
The purpose of selecting an image spokesperson for this group-sponsored talent show is to promote a certain product line. If successful, the profits involved will be calculated in billions. It must be awesome that Mr. Liu can be entrusted with such an important matter.
But because of this, there are many competitors within the group waiting for him to fall.
Not only did they want to laugh at him, they also wanted to tear some pieces of flesh off him, preferably by pulling him down from his current position.
It’s like this with money and beauty. The word “sex” is like a knife hanging over your head, and every knife cuts your bones!
Mr. Liu's face turned completely cold:
"How many years has Ms. Liang been working?"
Liang Dan wondered why they were suddenly talking about this, but it was always a good thing that Mr. Liu was willing to talk. Liang Dan thought carefully and said, "Since graduating from university, I have joined Hunan Satellite TV. This is my twelfth year."
Mr. Liu tutted his words and said, "Ms. Liang is really young and promising."
"You're too kind. How can my humble position compare to your importance within the group?"
To have climbed so high in just twelve years is remarkable not only for a woman but also for a man. There are just as many evildoers in the TV station as in the dairy group.
No wonder Liang Dan is so confident!
In the media industry, Liang Dan is truly a veteran... Liang Dan must have arranged many dinner parties like tonight's before, right?
Some people are willing to fight, and some are willing to be beaten. This is none of Mr. Liu's business. Mr. Liu is not a moral role model. He just told Liang Dan a fact:
"I'm not that good. I was assigned to work at the dairy factory after graduating from technical secondary school at 19. I became deputy director at 36, a typical late bloomer. At 38, I was about to become director, but the factory was acquired by the group in 1999. Now I'm 44, and I've finally gotten back on my feet. Do you think I need a meal tonight?"
It took Liang Dan 12 years to qualify to talk to Mr. Liu, but it took Mr. Liu 25 years to get his current job position.
From 19 to 44 years old, this is the golden 25 years for a man to strive for his career!
After so much sweat and so many falls, he has become the "Mr. Liu" today. He will not allow anyone to destroy his career for any reason.
Liang Dan was speechless.
Mr. Liu was clearly eager to confide in others. "I have my own judgment on who's capable and who's not. I don't need you to dictate. The small amount of compensation budget you save is not worth the group's attention, and neither is it for me!"
