"Haha, it's the same few lines over and over again every year, I can't forget them even if I want to."
"Keep it up, Xinyue. After you work at CCTV for a couple more years, these scripted lines will be as natural as everyday food for you, and you'll be able to say them off the cuff."
Seeing the helplessness in the eyes of the beautiful host Liu Xinyue, Sa Ning, who was taking a break from watching the concert, laughed and said something.
Then he turned back to watch Wang Yueheng and Cheng Long's performance.
"By the way, the gala director is still busy liaising with Hengxue Entertainment, hoping to introduce that holographic projection special effect that blows away our lighting and stage design into the gala."
"Teacher Sa, don't you have a good relationship with Wang Yueheng in private? If you have time, could you talk to him for the director?"
"Moreover, if this cooperation is successful, CCTV will be able to outsource many programs to Hengxue Entertainment for production in the future, which will be a considerable source of income for them."
"Isn't Wang Yueheng going to do charity? The more revenue from this channel, the better!"
Liu Xinyue then remembered something and reminded Sa Ning.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll call Yue Heng and tell him after his performance."
Upon hearing this, Sa Ning was taken aback at first, then nodded repeatedly.
After all, it was learned that Wang Yueheng was preparing to raise 1 billion yuan out of his own pocket to support table tennis players who voluntarily withdrew from WPP.
Sa Ning was also worried that his investment would fail and go down the drain, and he was thinking about how to help this genuine young singer.
Coincidentally, CCTV's resources are also a good source of income for Wang Yueheng.
After all, even if someone is short of money, it's not CCTV's turn to be short of money.
Hengxue Entertainment's cutting-edge special effects are exactly what CCTV, which constantly emphasizes innovation, needs.
The collaboration between CCTV and Hengxue Entertainment is sure to be a win-win situation!
...
"President Liu, I really don't have enough cash on hand. Hundreds of employees are waiting for me to pay their salaries and feed their families. If you could pay me back half of your 30 million debt first, that would be enough to help me get by!"
"Please, for the sake of our years of friendship, repay me at least a little bit..."
"Mr. Zhang, are you still living in Beijing? I'd like to visit you at home. When would you have time?"
"President Wang, this is Wu Youde from Jiangsu Wanjia Real Estate. When should we expect the loan we discussed last time to be approved?"...
"Please, for the sake of our old classmate relationship, please help me out this time. My whole family thanks you for your immense kindness!"
At the same time, in a hotel not far from the CCTV headquarters building, nicknamed "Big Pants".
A middle-aged man in pajamas, looking dejected, was sitting in a hotel room, constantly making phone calls or leaving voice messages on WeChat.
His clothes were disheveled, he looked extremely haggard, and there were deep dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Several gold-plated business cards were scattered haphazardly on the floor beneath his feet.
The label reads "Wu Youde, Chairman of Jiangsu Wanjia Real Estate Co., Ltd."
The sudden collapse of its largest partner, the real estate company Hengwan Group, coupled with the failure of a business investment, led to this situation.
Wu Youde, who is over fifty years old, owes several huge debts, and at a critical moment, he was ruthlessly withdrawn from the bank's loan.
Almost overnight.
He went from being a high-ranking boss with a net worth of billions to a bankrupt businessman who was penniless and heavily in debt.
Even the train tickets and hotel room fees for coming to the capital to collect debts from creditors were raised by his wife selling her jewelry.
However, those creditors who used to speak so boldly and claim they had plenty of money are now gone.
After learning that Wu Youde, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, had come to Beijing to collect debts, they all disappeared without a trace.
Or they might use the excuse of being short of money to avoid paying back a single penny.
Wu Youde, who came to the capital with a last glimmer of hope, gradually sank to the bottom amidst rejections and even ridicule.
And these so-called business partners and good brothers of the past.
Whenever he came to the capital, he was always the first to be greeted by the emperor, and served the best food and drink.
Even if it's the middle of the night, I'll still have a few drinks with him.
Such extreme disparities in human relationships left Wu Youde both extremely angry and utterly helpless.
"Mr. Wu, it's not that I don't want to pay you back, it's just that my business is really tight, and I simply can't spare a single penny."
"How about this, take a look. I have a batch of liquor that someone else mortgaged to me."
"Let me tell you, this batch of wine is a rare, aged product. It's priceless on the market, and each jar is worth hundreds of thousands."
"How about you send a car to pick up a few dozen jars of wine, and we'll call it even?"
"If you really don't want it, then there's nothing I can do. Anyway, if you sue me now, I don't have any money in my account."
After dialing the number of a creditor again and hearing the other party's shameless response.
Wu Youde was utterly despondent and slumped into a chair, staring blankly out the window at the distant CCTV building.
I don't know how to face my wife, who is anxiously waiting at home, and my daughter, who is about to go abroad to study...
The next second, he looked at the half-open window of the balcony and suddenly thought of something.
Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Wu Youde stood up and staggered toward the window...
