Chapter 303 - Chapter 303 Chapter 303 Why Dont You Go Rob

Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Why Don’t You Go Rob?! Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Why Don’t You Go Rob?! “I can’t say for sure yet,” Tong Tong replied while driving, “I met with the vice president of the company. He showed interest in our drama, and he didn’t outright reject the idea when I brought up the investment. So I think there’s still a good chance. This company is quite renowned in the internet sector. If they agree to invest, it would be really beneficial for our project.”

“Is that so,” Wang Hao nodded and smiled, “It’s no surprise with Teacher Tong finding such reliable companies. What should I do to coordinate with you once we get there?”

“Just play it by ear,” Tong Tong turned to look at Wang Hao with a slight smile, “You just watch the excitement from the sidelines for now.”

“Okay.”

Damn, I wonder if I’m going to see some cliched under-the-table dealings? Speaking of which, Teacher Tong is quite beautiful. Although she isn’t on the same level as Lan Zihuang, she’s at least at Xia Xueqi’s level–a solid ninety out of a hundred in terms of beauty!

The company Tong Tong spoke of is called Giant Dragon Network. Its main business revolves around online games, but they occasionally make other investments as well. The company’s total assets are around five billion yuan–they are very powerful.

Upon arriving at the company’s underground parking lot, Tong Tong led Wang Hao straight into the elevator.

“This company occupies the tenth to sixteenth floors of this office building.” Tong Tong pressed the button for the sixteenth floor. “The vice president’s office is on the sixteenth floor; we’ll go directly there.”

“Okay,” while in the elevator, Wang Hao casually asked, “By the way, Teacher Tong, what’s the name of their game?”

“Chaotic World, you’ve heard of it, right?” Tong Tong seemed much friendlier than when Wang Hao first met her, and she chuckled, “It’s one of the hottest online games in the country right now. I even play it when I’m bored.”

“…”

Damn, it’s that company!

I used to play so much with Long Yi and the others. The loot was insane!

As they reached the sixteenth floor, Tong Tong led Wang Hao straight to the vice president’s office. On the way, Wang Hao quietly asked, “Teacher Tong, why don’t we go directly to the CEO? Can the vice president make the final decision?”

“Do you think you can just see the CEO whenever you want?” Tong Tong spoke softly, “First, the vice president has to approve, and then he consults the CEO. Only if the CEO agrees and signs off can it be considered a success. I’m really curious about how you managed to secure investments before.”

Just luck, what else!

Upon entering the vice president’s office, Tong Tong immediately greeted the vice president, “Mr. Xu.”

Wang Hao followed behind Tong Tong, discreetly observing.

The office was indeed spacious, covering about seventy to eighty square meters. In the center, there was a huge solid wood desk, at least three and a half meters in length. Behind it was a large bookshelf made of deep redwood. The floor was laminated wood, and the surrounding walls were white and clean. There was even a framed calligraphy work on the wall that read “Heaven rewards the diligent” in bold brush strokes.

Mr. Xu was a chubby man with plump cheeks, in his early forties, sitting behind his desk revealing his prominent beer belly; he clearly seemed like someone who enjoyed his drinks.

“Little Tong is here, have a seat.” Mr. Xu nodded indifferently, setting down the document he was holding, leaning on the sofa. He glanced at Tong Tong, then turned to Wang Hao, asking, “And this is…”

“He’s our scriptwriter, Wang Hao,” Tong Tong quickly introduced. “If you have any questions about the script, feel free to ask him, Mr. Xu. He wrote it, and it’s really quite good.”

“Oh, a scriptwriter? I probably won’t have time to read the script,” Mr. Xu picked up the teacup from his desk, took a sip, and said, “Let’s talk about sponsorships first.”

“…”

Was I just ignored like that? Alright, I’m here for sponsorships today, keeping it low-key, no trouble. Let’s get this done and talk later!

“Mr. Xu,” since the other party was the financier, Tong Tong’s attitude was indeed very humble, “You see, our production team is very good, and once this film is officially released, it will definitely be a hit. You definitely won’t lose out.”

“I was thinking about it after I went back yesterday, and sponsoring it wouldn’t be a problem,” Mr. Xu leaned on the sofa, speaking very casually, “But you see, your production team hasn’t started shooting yet, right? I heard the script isn’t even sorted out yet? To put it nicely, you’re in the preparation stage; to put it badly, it’s essentially just an empty promise. What if you all run off then?”

Wang Hao: “…”

Run off? Ask the people in the production team now, could anyone even poach them away?

Alright, keep a low profile, just look, don’t talk.

“How could that be possible?!” As soon as Tong Tong heard Mr. Xu’s words, she was immediately stunned, “We have Miss Lan Zihuang joining us, how could we possibly run off? Besides, we already have fifty million in sponsorship on that side, Mr. Xu, you really don’t need to worry about this.”

“That’s true in theory, but all investments carry risks,” Mr. Xu tapped his fingers on the table, “Let’s put it this way, I can consider investing a part of the money just to test the waters. But the money can’t just be spent for nothing, right?”

As long as he is willing to invest money, it’s manageable!

Tong Tong quickly asked, “Then Mr. Xu, how much do you plan to invest? Our cast is really good, with Director Yang Shoulin on board and Miss Lan Zihuang joining, you must know about her popularity. The script is also a good one, surely the more you invest, the greater the return.”

“Talking about those things isn’t actually very meaningful,” Mr. Xu suddenly smiled, squinting his eyes, and said, “I only care about the benefits. Here’s the deal, I can decide to invest two million, but we must include our company’s advertisements, and at the end of the film, our company must be the first to be specially thanked.”

As soon as he said this, even Wang Hao was stunned!

This guy really has a lion’s mouth, damn!

Just invest two million and want so much? Why don’t you just rob us?!

“Mr. Xu!” Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, Tong Tong couldn’t accept it either, and she frowned, “I came here with sincere intentions to talk to you. Our main investor, Mr. Xu, has invested nearly fifty million, and his company is definitely the first to be mentioned. This, um…”

“Fifty million so what?” Mr. Xu slowly stood up, staring at Tong Tong, and smiled, “Miss Tong, you know it’s not so easy to make money these days. I, as an elder brother, also have a limited budget. I heard that in the past few days you went to several companies and haven’t succeeded, right? They all didn’t agree, did they?”

“This is absolutely unacceptable!” Tong Tong very firmly shook her head, and said, “If we really put your company first and also add in advertisement placements, the cost is too great, I can’t accept it. How about this, I can consider putting your company in the top three in the acknowledgments, and somehow manage to incorporate your advertisement. If you think that’s acceptable, I’ll go back and discuss it with the director.”

“Teacher Tong,” Wang Hao, who had been quietly sitting on the side, couldn’t bear to listen anymore, “Two million just to be in the top three?!”

Upon hearing Wang Hao’s words, Tong Tong hurriedly kept signaling him with her eyes.

My dear Mr. Wang Hao, do you realize this is already very good? In such a week and a half, to find a company willing to invest, and they can put out two million at once!

These are not the kind of pure personal hobby investors like Boss Ren who are willing to spend money!

“Do you have a problem, young man?” Mr. Xu looked at Wang Hao and smirked coldly, “Looking at your age, you must have just entered the film industry, right? You need to understand the current market–right now, with the TV show ratings, which one isn’t losing money? I’m giving this friendly price because Ms. Tong has been running around hard; otherwise, if it were someone else, don’t talk about asking me to pay money, it would be lucky for them to even see my face!”

If Mr. Xu had said something else, Wang Hao probably wouldn’t have cared, but he actually dared to say Brother Hao’s script won’t make money!

This was simply directly challenging Wang Hao!

Which thing has Brother Hao dealt with that wasn’t hugely profitable?

“TV shows will lose money?!” Wang Hao’s eyes widened immediately, “Mr. Xu, you can purposefully lower the price or set conditions, but to blatantly lie is just pointless.”

“Your family’s TV shows make money?!” Mr. Xu also lost his temper, slamming the table and yelling, “Apart from selling some advertisements and gaining some fame, where else can you make money, huh, tell me, where else can you make money?!”
