Meanwhile.
In a study within a mansion in Jiangqi City.
Song Zhan had gone on to attend to his own matters after his chat with Yu Ting.
Several pieces of white paper and folders were spread on the desk in front of him, including a business card inscribed with the contact details of a beauty endorsement company that Shen Ruchu had been discussing for several days.
To his knowledge, Southwest Entertainment and this beauty endorsement company had been in negotiations for a few times, and they were on the verge of signing a formal contract after another meeting or two.
Exuding a masculine aura, Song Zhan was casually dressed in a white round-necked T-shirt and a pair of loose grey pants. A thin belt loosely tied around his waist complemented his rogueishly handsome looks, making it hard to imagine that he’s a businessman. He paused his writing, picked up his cell phone and dialed the number on the business card.
The phone rang for over a minute before it was answered. A melodious female voice could be heard from the other end.
"Hello, who is this?"
"This is Song Zhan from VG Entertainment. I’d like to discuss an endorsement deal with your company."
Securing endorsements often relies on the capabilities of the artist or the company. Although VG Entertainment isn’t as influential as Southwest Entertainment in the short term, their projects at the beginning of the new year have taken off, especially the perfume endorsement by Yu Zijun, which led to a significant increase in sales.
On top of that, VG Entertainment is willing to spend money and take many avenues to promote their products.
Song Zhan’s simple introduction made the woman on the other end of the phone fall silent for a good three or four minutes.
"I am calling today with full sincerity to discuss this matter with your company. Moreover, I’m sure you’ve heard about the recent scandals associated with Southwest Entertainment. The contract isn’t signed yet. Why not consider other options?"
Song Zhan continued, leaning back in his chair, making his intentions clear from the beginning, and taking firm steps forward.
"Furthermore, we at VG are willing to spend. I’m sure you know this. If this deal goes through, we’ll allocate a large budget for promoting the endorsement deal with your company. I believe we can achieve results that aren’t inferior to Southwest Entertainment with such an investment."
After a few sentences, it was clear that the beauty company was considerably swayed. She hadn’t even met Shen Ruchu during the negotiations with Southwest Entertainment! However...
"I’m aware of everything you’ve mentioned, Mr. Song, and how capable your company is," she finally spoke again. "However, I heard that a few years ago, not only did you lose money in your business, but also..."
Her voice trailed off here, remaining ominously silent.
No company wants to work with a partner who might suddenly go bankrupt.
"Yes, ma’am, your concerns are indeed factual."
Song Zhan neither lost his temper nor fretted; instead, he was calm and composed. He leaned back further into his chair, looking all the more aggressive with the slight upturn of his lips.
"But being able to sustain losses for three years straight shows how well-off I am..."
"And this time, I can’t lose."
...
"I hope your company will consider my proposal seriously. Mr. Yu and I eagerly anticipate cooperating with you."
...
Time quickly flew by. Yu Ting had been in Nanshan City for four or five days. Just a few days prior, they had polished two pairs of bracelets from a piece of Ice Type Jade they had found at the jade market. After packing their luggage with Lu Nanchen, they were planning to check out and return to Jiangqi City.
Before leaving, they said their goodbyes to the cast from Huyue Entertainment.
