Chapter 239 If you can speak like Chen Zhuo, success will be within your reach Chen Zhuo picked a time slot, but Tang Qingxun, deputy director of the advertising department, took a look and said with a curled lip, "You have a good vision, but the competition is a bit too much." Professor Zeng Kun thought it was just like renting a server, which could be done by paying the money, but he didn't expect that there was competition here. He glanced at Chen Zhuo, who was also slightly surprised, and then asked politely, "Excuse me, is this competition conducted in the form of bidding?" Some TV stations, such as CCTV, use a bidding system for some of their prime-time advertisements. The company that pays the most wins. "Haha~" Tang Qingxun smiled and said, "Bidding is of course a good way, but if you only look at the price, you will easily ignore the role and impact of advertising on society. Our satellite TV station adopts a comprehensive evaluation method, combining your company's strength, qualifications, and product direction to make a selection..." "Oh~" Chen pretended to be enlightened, but in his heart he was thinking so much, but in fact he only had one meaning: The leaders have the final say on Guangzhou Satellite TV’s advertisements! What the hell is this "comprehensive assessment based on a company's strength, qualifications, and products"? These things have no quantitative standards and are all evaluated by humans. But humans are emotional animals. If they say you are good, you are good; if they say you are not good, you are not good. On the contrary, there is a certain sense of fairness in the bidding method.

But Chen is now the Party B and can only respect the rules of Party A. "I'm going to report to Minister Yang now. Please sit down for a while." Tang Qingxun stood up and said. "Minister Tang, please wait a moment." Chen Zhuo took out the report he had written earlier, "The Contribution of the CUHK Learning Network to Society": "Although the website was established not long ago, it has already facilitated many small families who need tutoring, and everyone has given us unanimous praise." "These are some of our thoughts and experiences. We would like to ask Minister Tang and Minister Yang to give us more valuable suggestions." Chen Zhuo politely handed the report to Tang Qingxun. Tang Qingxun took it and flipped through it twice, then said in surprise, "You are the first company to bring something like this to discuss business here. Xiao Li, bring in some fruit to entertain the guests." The young man who first received us just now brought in a plate of dried fruit drinks. Chen sneered in his heart. These bitches at the TV station really have their eyelids rolled up to the sky. Just now, Chen Zhuo and Zeng Kun didn't even have a glass of water to drink, but now they have shown a strong willingness to spend money on advertising in order to drink a bottle of mineral water here. "Let's see how long you can keep being so awesome!" Chen Zhuo spat silently. A few years later, when self-media and short videos emerged, the monopoly of TV stations gradually disappeared. Like newspapers, it is one of the products that is slowly being eliminated in the development of the times. "It's not impossible to do the short video app project. You may ignore me today, but I may be your gravedigger tomorrow." Chen thought to himself as he peeled an orange and handed half of it to Professor Zeng Kun. As they ate the sweet oranges, Zeng Kun asked, "Chen Zhe, will the TV station accept us?" "do not know." Chen Zhe was not sure, but he would not give up easily. At least Deputy Director Liang Haoqun was his senior at CUHK. If it really didn't work, he would go back to find Dean Shu Yuan, Secretary Huang Yi of the Youth League Committee, or even Vice President Xu Ning.

…… In the advertising department, Tang Qingxun did not hold Chen Zhe against his will after receiving the report. After all, they had no grudges in the past or in the present, and Chen Zhe was also a client willing to spend money, so he hurried to the office of the director Yang Guang. Yang Guang is about 40 years old, and his figure is somewhat similar to Ye Yongpeng, with the same chubby physique of a middle-aged fat man. It is obvious that this is because he has too many social engagements. Tang Qingxun gave a brief report on the matter, but when Yang Guang heard the name "Zhongda Learning Network and Chenzhe", his eyelids suddenly twitched slightly. “They want 10 seconds of advertising time in Thunder Theater.” Tang Qingxun finally said, waiting for the department leader's preliminary opinions. Yang Guang's eyelids just twitched, and he didn't have any other extreme reactions. He was browsing the company information of Suhui Technology and Zhongda Learning Network as usual. However, when he saw the "contribution report" submitted by Chen Zhuo, he took it out and read it carefully, then put it down silently. Tang Qingxun was a little unsure of what the department leader was thinking, so he stood aside silently. After Yang Guang finished reading it all, he asked his subordinates: "Have you told them the price?" "I told you." Tang Qingxun replied: "From the looks of them, the problem shouldn't be that big." Yang Guang didn't say anything. He leaned back comfortably in the soft chair, covering his belly button with his hands, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will take care of it." "what?" Tang Qingxun was stunned for a moment. It’s not that Yang Guang has not personally been responsible for some specific cases, but those were large-scale advertisements of dozens of seconds, and the annual advertising fees of the companies were in the tens of millions. Why does he have to personally handle this kind of transaction involving a few million in 10 seconds? "Mr. Chen and the others are still waiting there. How should I respond?" Tang Qingxun wanted to ask indirectly to get some clues. But Yang Guang didn't intend to explain at all, he just said lightly: "Don't worry about them, just go and do your thing." "Ok." Tang Qingxun had no choice but to agree, cursing Yang Guang in his heart as a fat pig for not telling him any inside information. But he did not dare to disobey the order. Yang Guang was a direct subordinate of Deputy Director Liang Haoqun and his position was very stable. Although except for the director and deputy director, all other staff members of the TV station are contract employees, or so-called "temporary workers." However, from Zhang Guangfeng's performance, it can be seen that the class nature of temporary workers is actually more sensitive than that of regular employees. After Tang Qingxun left, Yang Guang sat alone for a while, looked at the time, picked up all the materials from the "CUHK Learning Network", and took the elevator to the leader's office on the 8th floor. At this time, Yang Guang's expression was completely different from when he was facing his subordinates. Now he was steady and cautious. He took a deep breath and knocked on the wooden door outside.

Only after hearing the voice of "Come in" did Yang Guang dare to carefully turn the doorknob, because the person inside was the deputy director of the TV station, Liang Haoqun. Liang Haoqun is also in his forties, wearing glasses and looking quite elegant. His administrative level is not high, but because the advertising department under him can earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year, even though the money cannot go into his own pocket, he still has the credit of "strategizing and managing properly." The rows of awards and trophies in the transparent bookcase show how satisfied the city’s propaganda department is with Liang Haoqun’s work. "Director Liang." Yang Guang half bowed and said respectfully, "The Zhongda Learning Network that you asked me to pay attention to before, they really came." "is it?" Liang Haoqun, who was writing with his head down, raised his head when he heard the words. Yang Guang reported the specific situation and gently placed the tracing information on his desk. Liang Haoquan picked it up and took a look. He also lingered on the "Contribution Report" for a while, then put it aside and said, "Old Yang, do you know why I asked you to pay attention to this company?" Yang Guang thought for a moment and said, "Because it is a college student who started a business, it is quite typical. Is the station promoting it in response to some provincial policies?" "It's not that noble." Liang Haoquan smiled and said, "He is a very good friend. He called me a while ago and said that there might be such a company and such a legal person named Chen Zhuo who would find us for cooperation." "So that's it." Yang Guang understood. It seemed that there was someone behind Suhui Technology. "My friend has a very outstanding daughter." Liang Haoquan adjusted his glasses and continued, "I once thought about bringing Liang Zhuang and his daughter together, but he didn't like Liang Zhuang, a boy with no knowledge. Later, I heard from a friend that his daughter was in love..." At this point, if Yang Guang still can't figure it out, he won't be able to get the extremely lucrative position of the advertising director. "Is Chen Zhe the boyfriend of that girl?" Yang Guang asked. "Yeah." Liang Haoqun nodded. "That……" Yang Guang originally thought that this 10-second advertising time could be included, but after hearing what his leader said, he didn't know whether to include it or not. "Old Yang, this advertisement must be arranged." Liang Haoquan gave a clear instruction: "Not only because my friend greeted me, but also you should know that I graduated from CUHK." "What if there is a school anniversary event and my former teacher points his finger at me and blames me for not helping my junior schoolmates? How should I answer?" Liang Haoquan tapped the documents on the table with his knuckles: "Besides, they also gave me money, there is no reason to pretend not to know them." "Then I'll make arrangements now."

Yang Guang immediately prepared to implement the leadership's intention. Next month would be the new year, and some companies' contracts would just expire, so it would not be difficult to squeeze out these 10 seconds of advertising time. "Wait a minute." Before Yang Guang was about to leave the office, Liang Haoquan stopped him again: "Don't tell Chen the result directly. Wait for a while and see how he reacts. A person's true qualities are best reflected when he is anxious." "I'm also helping my friend to check whether this junior is really worthy of their angel-like daughter." Liang Haoqun smiled slightly. Yang Guang almost understood. Although Director Liang did not seem to care about his son being disliked, he was actually a little unconvinced. So the advertising matter was carried out as required, but it had to be done under the pretext of "inspection", which made things a little difficult for Chen. In case he did something reckless and inappropriate, Liang Haoqun would feel a little comforted. Why do you look down on my son? Aren’t all young people of the same character? …… Chen Zhuo had no idea about the "deal" involved, nor did he know that Song Zuoming had helped to say hello. He waited in the advertising department's office on the second floor from around 3 o'clock until the evening, but no one came to greet him. During this period, he consulted Deputy Minister Tang Qingxun, who said that the matter was personally handled by Minister Yang Guang. Chen Zhuo went to Yang Guang's office again, but the fat man said, "We are still researching. Please be patient and wait for a reply." Chen Zhuo knew who he was. When he heard the words "research, discuss, report, discuss...", he knew they were perfunctory excuses. "It's a bit troublesome." Chen Zhe didn't know when he had offended Yang Guang. It was clear that he had never had any contact with the director of the advertising department of this TV station before. Or maybe Yang Guang also trades stocks, so that's why he has a problem with me? But the stock market has been on the rise in the past two days. "What should we do now?" Even the old educated youth Zeng Kun noticed something unusual. "You go back first." Chen Zhuo said that if Yang Guang really didn't like him, then there was no point in having a few more people waiting here. It would be better to let Zeng Kun return to the company to create value. Lao Zeng didn't say anything polite. In fact, he couldn't learn this trick. He stood up and went downstairs. Yang Guang noticed Zeng Kun's behavior in the office and immediately called Liang Haoquan: "Director Liang, they must be tired of being left alone, so they plan to leave... Oh, no, only Professor Zeng from the School of Computer Science left, and Chen Zhuo is still sitting there." As Liang Haoquan's subordinate, Yang Guang must hope that Chen Zhuo will act impetuously, so that the leader will feel relieved: It’s not that my son is not as good as others, Chen Zhuo’s performance is not much better. When the leader is in a good mood, everyone's life will be comfortable. Therefore, Yang Guang wanted to take the initiative to put some pressure on Chen Zhuo. Seeing Chen Zhuo sitting in the small office, looking calm and steady, he called the security guard and said, "Who is sitting in the small office on the second floor? No one should stay there." The security guard came over immediately and politely asked Chen to leave. "I'm waiting for a reply from Director Yang of the Advertising Department." Chen said.

"no!" The security guard said arrogantly: "If you want to wait, go wait somewhere else. You can't sit here anyway!" Chen Zhe didn't know that this was what Yang Guang meant, and he couldn't argue with the security guy. He could only think about it and go to Yang Guang's office again. "Minister Yang..." Chen Zhaogang knocked on the door. Then Yang Guang raised his head unhappily: "I told you to be patient, why are you so anxious? If you can't wait, go back and wait for a call!" When Yang Guang was scolding without any reason, Chen Zhuo did not interrupt. Only after he finished speaking did Chen Zhuo calmly say, "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to tell Minister Yang that I'm waiting in the lobby on the first floor because I can't sit in that small office." "understood!" Yang Guang waved his hand. Chen waited for half a second and found that Yang Guang didn't say anything else, then he walked down the stairs. Chen Zhe is now basically certain that Yang Guang dislikes him, because he is the boss of the advertising department. If Yang Guang wants him to stay, no one can drive him away. The reason for the dislike is unknown. When Chen Zhe sat on the reception sofa in the lobby on the first floor, Yang Guang found that he was neither depressed because he was driven away, nor angry because he didn't like him. He just sat calmly in the corner of the sofa. His face was expressionless, and he hid his emotions very well. "This kid is quite determined." Yang Guang couldn't help but think. In fact, based on this kind of determination, Yang Guang felt that he was better than the leader's son who was studying abroad. I have seen that guy before. He relies on the fact that his father is the deputy director of the TV station and speaks and acts arrogantly. If he were replaced by Chen Zhe today, he would have quit and left cursing long ago. It’s a pity that from my perspective, I have to please my leader, so I can only say sorry in my heart. Just like that, another 20 minutes passed, and Yang Guang walked out to take a look, and Chen Zhuo was still there; 40 minutes later, Chen Zhuo was still there; 70 minutes later, Yang Guang took a look and found that Chen Zhuo was gone. "This kid has finally been outlasted!" Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little complacent. He immediately ran to the leader's office on the eighth floor and told Liang Haoquan about Chen's "leaving in anger" and said against his will, "Young people don't have much patience. They can't stand waiting for a while. I think they are far inferior to your Liangzhuang." "Ha ha!" Liang Haoquan was very happy to hear this, and said to Yang Guang: "There is a dinner party tonight, come with me later." "Row!" Yang Guang went downstairs first to prepare, and around 7 o'clock in the evening, Liang Haoqun called Yang Guang and they left the TV station building together.

As a result, the two discovered that Chen Zhuo was sitting on the steps outside, alone and quietly bathing in the moonlight in the bleak winter wind. A trace of displeasure flashed across Liang Haoquan's face: "Lao Yang, Chen Zhe is my junior, so why should we just let him hang out for a while? Why do we have to drive him out?" Yang Guang was suddenly speechless, unable to express his pain. The security guard must have been being too clever, thinking that he didn't like this person, so he simply didn't allow him to sit in the lobby on the first floor. "Most of us are teenagers now, and finally there is a student who has made some progress while still in school. Principals Luo and Xu may not say it, but they must be cherishing him in their hearts." Liang Haoquan's tone has become stern: "And my friend, if he hears about this, will he think that I am bullying his son-in-law?" Yang Guang broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly walked over to pat Chen Zhuo on the shoulder. He wanted to blame him but didn't dare to, so he could only ask speechlessly: "Chen Zhuo, why are you still waiting here at this time?" Chen turned around and glanced at Yang Guang first, then his eyes lingered on Liang Haoquan, with a gentle and mellow smile on his face: "Minister Yang, when I went out today, I asked a fortune teller to tell my fortune. He said that I am likely to meet a noble person at this time." ······ (End of this chapter)
