Chapter 336 Zhao Huayong's Melancholy (Additional Update)
But how can such a thing be done so easily? Most of the top singers in Dragon Country are concentrated in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Although there are many in the mainland, the traditional songs and singing styles they sing cannot shine on such a stage, but instead make people feel mediocre.
To be precise, the stage of this transnational fan club is more like a show of talent, a show of talent for the singers. If there is no distinctive talent performance after going on stage, it will be difficult to stand out and win applause and cheers from the audience.
And according to the latest news from SBS TV station, singers from Japan will also be invited to participate. At that time, the competition will be upgraded from a PK between singers from two countries to a melee between singers from three countries. If the singers who appear on the stage are not outstanding enough, they will easily be beaten by foreign singers and become the last one!
At that time, as the person in charge of this program, Zhao Huayong will be under unprecedented pressure! After all, neither the leaders above nor the audience watching the program want to see such a "shameful" scene.
Now Zhao Huayong is in a dilemma. This show is so popular now, it is impossible to stop broadcasting, it must continue! But where can he find a singer with good singing voice and talent to perform on stage?
For example, Guo Tianwang from Hong Kong is good at singing and dancing, but he can't guarantee that he will have time to come and participate if he is invited. Moreover, his appearance fee is also quite high. If they invite Chi Chang, then the funds for their activities will be stretched!
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Huayong, who still had no clue, finally decided to brainstorm and called several trusted subordinates to help come up with ideas.
…
After several minutes of heated discussion, Zhao Huayong finally came up with a more feasible solution. That is, in terms of personnel selection, try to select young singers with talents, and there will be more young singers with talents in Hong Kong and Formosa.
For example: Sun Yaowei and Chen Xiaodong, who have outstanding looks and are known as the "Four Little Heavenly Kings", Zheng Yijian, who is also very good at singing and acting, and Li Yijun and Xu Ruyun, who are both good-looking and have popular songs from Taiwan.
The reason for choosing these people is mainly because the singers on stage will not be too old. Even if their performance is not as good as the singers from Japan and Korea, they can still justify themselves because of their age and not lose face.
Moreover, the young singers who had performed on the stage from Korea before were so outstanding, with a lot of them being good at singing and dancing. They didn't believe that the subsequent singers from Korea would be able to have such strength and stage performance. Otherwise, they would simply admit defeat and give up on this cross-border fan meeting, and there would be no point in holding it.
After making up his mind, Zhao Huayong quickly asked his subordinates to contact colleagues and friends in Hong Kong and Taiwan, asking them to contact suitable candidates as soon as possible and confirm whether the other party could come to the Imperial Capital TV Station to participate in the recording of the program.
…
In America, things are not looking good at AOL.
It turned out that in the past two days, the company office had received work progress reports from Korea and Longguo. After they learned that the lawsuits filed by the two countries against each other for infringement and huge compensation had not been won, they gradually realized that this matter was not as simple as they had imagined.
However, before General Manager Henry Scott had time to get angry and reprimand these representatives for their incompetence, a massive report on the scandal swept across most of America. And the protagonist of the scandal was none other than AOL!
The first is their AOL company, which has committed a large amount of financial fraud, inflating the company's profits and boosting the company's stock price. Secondly, the company's senior management has embezzled public funds. The most fatal thing is that when declaring the company's taxes every year, there is a situation of concealment and underreporting.
…
The news was reported and reprinted by many news media in North America. All of a sudden, the attitude of the whole of America towards AOL changed drastically. It went from being a listed company to a "rat crossing the street" that was despised and hated by everyone. The speed at which its reputation collapsed far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Without waiting for AOL to hold a press conference to clarify its position and make an explanation, staff from the Internal Revenue Service of the U.S. Treasury Department visited the company and asked Henry Scott and other senior executives of the company to cooperate with their investigation until it was clear whether there was any tax evasion.
…
Affected by this series of negative news, investors and financial institutions that were originally optimistic about AOL were afraid that they would be late to react and become the ones who took over at high prices, so they sold their stocks frantically in an attempt to recover funds to overcome this crisis.
However, under this "panic" herd mentality, AOL's stock price experienced a flash crash in a short period of time, and the company's shareholders and shareholders were very angry about such a situation within the company.
Especially Henry Scott, the manager of the company, was he crazy or blind, allowing this kind of thing to continue and not doing anything? In the emergency meeting, they strictly ordered Henry Scott to deal with this matter as soon as possible and not leave any trouble.
Otherwise, all that awaits him is resignation and the possibility of being sued by the company!
After Henry Scott attended the meeting with an expressionless face, he flew into a rage as soon as he returned to his office, cursing the bastards who had sold out the company's insider information and conspired against them behind the scenes.
The reason why this revelation has such a big impact is mainly because Zhang Junfeng and others, who are the masterminds behind the scenes, once decided to use the trick of "mixing truth with falsehood", using 60% to 70% of the real inside story and 30% to 40% of "speculation" to directly throw dirty water on AOL.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As long as some of the content is confirmed to be true, the onlookers and gossip lovers will discuss and publicize these things as if they were true.
Want to clarify? Haha, sometimes the truth that is clarified is far less explosive than the rumored and distorted news, and the effect of the clarification will not be as good as expected. We can only hope that time will pass and these things will be slowly forgotten.
…
Henry Scott asked his assistant to call over several of his trusted subordinates and asked them to work together to come up with a plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, if things got worse, he, the general manager, would be forced to resign, and these guys wouldn't necessarily have a good ending!
After more than ten minutes of discussion, several people reluctantly came up with a solution, which was to find a suitable scapegoat and shift all the problems to them as much as possible. Then the company would distance itself from them in the name of holding a press conference.
