Chapter 1119: Showing Attentiveness for No Reason
Yu Zhan and Alan's inexplicable "friendship" began.
Two days later, Alan called Yu Zhan again and said that it was too late that day and he was so engrossed in the conversation that he forgot to ask how much the cute black cat doll cost. He wanted to buy one. Yu Zhan's reply was the same as everyone else's, "Sorry, it's not for sale." He then explained the relationship between the doll and Cats' Garden again.
Alan suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he asked Yu Zhan, "Does Cats' Garden have a spokesperson in the United States?"
"Probably not," Yu Zhan replied uncertainly. He later confirmed with Peter that Cats' Garden had never hired a spokesperson in any country since its establishment, let alone in the United States. Peter's grandfather and William's grandfather were both low-key and pragmatic people. They paid more attention to the quality of the product rather than flashy publicity. They firmly believed that good wine needs no bush.
But times have changed. Similar competing companies are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. In China alone, there are countless pet food/feed companies. If they don’t advertise, they will be eliminated from the industry sooner or later.
Alan said, "I am very touched by your rescue of cats. I want to help you, but I can't adopt Susan and Olive. You are rich and don't seem to need extra financial assistance. Maybe my face is the only thing that can be used. I am willing to cooperate with you and endorse Cats' Garden to rebuild the brand image. As for the endorsement fee, 100 million US dollars, do you think it's okay?"
1 million dollars!!!
For ordinary people, this is definitely a huge sum of money, but referring to Alan's entertainment expenses for his previous movie, it was about 50 million US dollars - the total cost of that movie was 100 million US dollars, and Alan's salary accounted for half of it!
The price Alan offered to Yu Zhan was equivalent to free of charge.
...
...
Yu Zhan was so shocked that he didn't know how to respond. Alan thought he thought it was too expensive. "I want it for free, but my agency can't get through. This 1 million is their service fee. I swear I won't make a penny from you."
Yu Zhan was even more frightened. If someone showed kindness to him for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. Why was Alan so nice to him for no reason? Thinking of Alan's unusual behavior that night, could it be... could it be that Alan was greedy for his body? !
Peter came to Yu Zhan's office to talk to him about work and to discuss when they would each leave the United States. But he saw him sitting in a chair with a cell phone in his hand, as if he had just watched a classic horror movie, with a look of horror on his face.
Obviously, Yu Zhan couldn't watch a horror movie during work hours. Peter was worried that he might be sick from working. "Zhan, are you okay?"
Peter's call finally brought Yu Zhan back to his senses. He looked at the man in front of him and immediately stood up from his chair.
"If you don't feel comfortable, just sit down. There's no need for these empty formalities between us," Peter held Yu Zhan and prevented him from getting up. After this series of turmoil, Peter and Yu Zhan were no longer just ordinary friends. Peter only had one child, Lina, and Lina had made it clear that she would not accept the family business, as she was not capable of managing such a large enterprise.
This is equivalent to Peter having no heir. He is now considering Yu Zhan as his heir. He is a veterinarian and has resources and connections in both China and the United States. In order to help him during this period, he has invested a lot of energy and has also figured out the sales model of Cats' Garden. Peter has seen his intelligence and means. Peter believes that no one is more suitable than Yu Zhan to manage Cats' Garden, provided that he marries Liu?!
However, he did not tell Yu Zhan his thoughts for the time being.
Yu Zhan, who was totally unaware of this, explained to Peter, "I just received a call..." The smile on Yu Zhan's face was uglier and more tangled than crying. Peter was very curious, "Whose call? What call?"
Yu Zhan knew very well that this was good news for Peter, so he told him truthfully, "Alan Smith, he wants to cooperate with us and become the spokesperson for Cats' Garden..."
After hearing the first half of Yu Zhan's words, Peter immediately began to consider the cost of Alan's endorsement, which would cost at least 20 million US dollars. He knew that Yu Zhan had no money in his pocket; Professor Stephen had helped him a lot, and he couldn't afford to pay this money again; Cats' Garden suffered huge losses in the United States, and William would definitely not agree to allocate more publicity expenses unless Peter paid for it out of his own pocket...
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhan's second half of the sentence was, "Alan only wants 1 million US dollars."
Peter thought he had heard wrongly. Seeing Yu Zhan's serious look, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it possible?! Why?!"
