In the box.

The waiter in cheongsam served a new pot of tea. Meng Xueyi sat in his seat, thinking and playing with the tea bowl in his hand.

Hao Zhiqiang, who was next to him, was a little uneasy, but he saw Meng Xueyi meditating there and was too embarrassed to disturb him.

It took a long time before Meng Xueyi came back to his senses, poured a cup of tea for Hao Zhiqiang and smiled, "Sorry, Old Hao, I was a little distracted just now."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Lao Meng, you can be considered to be on the line with Qin Shaoyan in today's round. I have completed the task at least. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Hey, Old Hao, why are you leaving now?" Meng Xueyi smiled and held down Hao Zhiqiang who was about to get up, "I will be the host tonight and thank you for being such a great hero."

"There's no need to thank you. We still need this in our relationship." Hao Zhiqiang declined, "Let's talk about today's matter. It's still a bit meaningless, and I deserve it..."

"Old Hao, you're out of touch now." Meng Xueyi interrupted Hao Zhiqiang, "I told you before when I asked you to make the connection, no matter whether the matter succeeds or not, I will accept your love."

"Don't worry, I will fulfill all the conditions I promised you before, without any discounts."

Hao Zhiqiang showed a smile on his face, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

This place is rich and expensive. The cars parked at the door are either Mercedes-Benz or Rolls-Royce. They are all imported high-end cars. A Wuling Hongguang suddenly stopped and it looked very eye-catching.

After a while, Meng Xueyi slowly asked: "What about Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Wanli..."

"I'm afraid of the cold." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Besides, I'm a big boss and can't afford to drive a luxury car, but I can still afford the gas money to turn on the heater."

Hao Zhiqiang still felt a little regretful. If Meng Xueyi's offer hadn't been too tempting, he would never have gotten involved in this matter.

"That's true, it's convenient to have a car." Hao Zhiqiang glanced inside the car, "I was just wondering if there was anything special about this car, otherwise why would Mr. Qin drive such a car."

Hao Zhiqiang came out of the teahouse and was about to get in the car when he suddenly saw a Wuling Hongguang parked next to him and looked at it curiously.

"No, no, I have an appointment today at noon, let's go another day." Hao Zhiqiang quickly declined, raising his hand to look at his watch, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

"Mr. Qin is really frugal." Hao Zhiqiang laughed, "No one would believe this."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at Hao Zhiqiang with a smile, "Director Hao, where are you going to eat for lunch? Why don't you find a place with me to deal with it?"

Then Hao Zhiqiang saw Qin Shaoyan sitting in the cab, seemingly playing with his phone and sending text messages.

Qin Shaoyan immediately understood the implicit meaning. Although he was a friend, he was not really a friend at all.

When Hao Zhiqiang heard this, he stopped opening the car door, closed the car door again, and pondered for two seconds.

Meng Xueyi poured another cup of tea and asked casually: "Where does this Qin Shaoyan come from?"

"Zhang Wanli?!" Meng Xueyi was a little surprised, "Who is that?"

One bad move will offend Qin Shaoyan. It's enough to offend Qin Shaoyan. It would be troublesome if he offends the people behind him.

"I said, Mr. Qin, you are also a big boss after all. Not to mention Mercedes-Benz and BMW, let's have a Volkswagen last time. Why did you repair such a car?"

"Well, Director Meng is a cultural person." Hao Zhiqiang nodded, "But he has many friends and has friendships in all aspects. If Mr. Qin wants to write a book, autobiography or something, he can ask Director Meng for help."

"I don't know about that." Hao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Why do you ask about this if you have nothing to do? It's taboo to know too much."

"Then Director Hao will come up for a visit?" Qin Shaoyan invited him.

Qin Shaoyan nodded, "You can tell he is a cultural person at first glance."

Hao Zhiqiang thought for a moment, then quickly walked over and knocked on the car window.

"Why are you so polite to me?" Meng Xueyi laughed loudly, "I have invited several friends for tonight's dinner. Director Wang from CCTV has market promotion. How can I do it without you?"

Hao Zhiqiang whispered a few words in Meng Xueyi's ear. Meng Xueyi's eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face.

Qin Shaoyan looked up and saw Hao Zhiqiang waving to him with a smile on his face, so he rolled down the car window and greeted warmly, "Director Hao, you are leaving now."

Meng Xueyi nodded and fell into deep thought.

"He has connections with newspapers, magazines, and TV stations in our city."

Hao Zhiqiang blew the warm air in the car and said casually, "Good guy, this heater is enough."

Qin Shaoyan probably figured out where Meng Xueyi came from.

"Go ahead." Qin Shaoyan said politely. Seeing Hao Zhiqiang push open the car door, he added, "Director Hao, that Director Meng..."

"Well..." Hao Zhiqiang smiled, "We have interacted with him several times and we are considered friends."

"Yes, I was about to go out." Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I looked up and saw why there was a van parked here, and when I looked carefully, it turned out to be Mr. Qin."

"This Director Meng, he is a cultural expert. He runs several cultural companies and has published many books."

Hao Zhiqiang also took advantage of the situation and said: "Then I will visit."

"Then I'll go join in the fun." Hao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Hao and Director Meng are familiar with each other, right?" Qin Shaoyan asked casually.

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "As long as the car can drive, it doesn't matter what brand it is. Besides, there is only one car in the company. I drove it out for convenience. I can't come here by subway."

Although Hao Zhiqiang is a division chief, his division chief is different from Zhang Wanli's.

"This time I was asked by a friend to take the liberty to find Mr. Qin." Hao Zhiqiang sighed, "Actually, I shouldn't come forward in this matter..."

With that said, he opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat. After closing the door, he shut out the cold air.

"But I have dealt with the vice president of Facebook and heard him mention Qin Shaoyan. It is said that Mr. Qin is quite well-connected in the United States."

"This..." Hao Zhiqiang hesitated, "I can't figure out his background. He was introduced to him by Zhang Wanli."

He is just hanging around in the Qingshui Yamen, how can he compare with the young cadres who have real power.

So when he saw Qin Shaoyan was still there, he thought of coming over to have a look.

"Brother Hao, what are you talking about?" Qin Shaoyan immediately said with a straight face, "Our friendship is here, what does it mean to be presumptuous?"

"Brother Hao thinks of me when he has something to do, because he treats me as a friend." Qin Shaoyan patted his chest and said, "Since Brother Hao asks me to do something, I will definitely help."

Hao Zhiqiang was stunned by Qin Shaoyan's words. He stretched out his hand and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your understanding."

"Brother Hao, why should you be polite to me?" Qin Shaoyan said boldly, "Next time if you have something to do, tell me directly and don't beat around the bush."

Hao Zhiqiang was a little embarrassed, "It's just that it's not easy for me to talk to you."

"What happens once is familiar again, next time you come to me directly." Qin Shaoyan said firmly, and then said, "This Director Meng..."

"Huh?" Hao Zhiqiang was a little surprised.

"The key thing is that Director Meng told me that this matter is not easy to handle." Qin Shaoyan said with some embarrassment, "This international college summer camp is said to be jointly organized by the campus network and Facebook. In fact, it is Facebook that really has the right to speak. After all, All funding is provided by Facebook.”

"We can make requests here. It's up to Facebook whether they can agree to it. Moreover, Director Meng's request is indeed a bit..."

Hao Zhiqiang sighed, "I understand. Mr. Qin can just help them get involved in this matter. The rest is for Director Meng to talk to Facebook. We have done everything we should and he has nothing to say." "Well, there is. I'm relieved by Brother Hao's words." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "I'm just afraid that if the conversation with Facebook doesn't go well, I'll complain."

"That's not possible." Hao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Meng Xueyi is not unreasonable. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Sure, then I'll make an appointment with Edward and Director Meng." Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked again, "Brother Hao, do you want one of the reserved places?"

"Ah..." Hao Zhiqiang was stunned, struggled for a moment, and said hesitantly, "This... is not good."

"What's wrong? We are our own people and we have to take care of it." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "It's too late this year."

"Next year, that is, 2006, I will set aside one for you. Just tell me in advance."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for taking the trouble." Hao Zhiqiang said gratefully.

"Brother Hao is out." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

Seeing Hao Zhiqiang leave with satisfaction, Qin Shaoyan smiled. He suddenly felt that the "International College Summer Camp" card was really useful.

……

Qin Shaoyan acted very quickly and called Edward over to give him instructions in person. After the two of them discussed the list, they started to contact Meng Xueyi.

Meng Xueyi was overjoyed when he received the news, and immediately set up a table at the International Hotel to entertain Edward.

Edward appeared in style, wearing a high-end handmade suit and lambskin boots, and brought a dedicated translator and assistant to the appointment.

In order to entertain Edward, Meng Xueyi specially invited two beauties to accompany him.

During the banquet, the two parties chatted happily, changing glasses and drinking wine in a friendly manner.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heated, Meng Xueyi also ordered one of the beauties to show off her singing voice and perform an excerpt from an Italian opera.

The beautiful and professional singing voice made Edward applaud repeatedly and compliment the beauty repeatedly.

Seeing Edward being so supportive, Meng Xueyi became very excited and immediately asked another beautiful woman to get up and perform ballet.

But in the end, he was stopped by Edward because he was almost done drinking and it was time to talk about business.

Meng Xueyi immediately sent his companion away and chatted with Edward alone.

The two sides talked about how around ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Xueyi, whose face was red, helped the drunken Edward out of the door, enthusiastically helped Edward open the car door, and gave the Facebook vice president his car.

It wasn't until Edward's car drove away that Meng Xueyi turned around happily and left with his arms around the beautiful woman.

Edward's car circled the nearby road and then stopped on the side of the road. He opened the door and stood next to the trash can on the side of the road and started vomiting.

After a while, Edward wiped his face, walked to a nearby Wuling Hongguang, opened the door and got on it.

"BOSS."

Qin Shaoyan took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it over, "Take a few sips."

"Okay." Edward was not polite and drank several large gulps in succession. "This grandson is really good at drinking. I almost fell to the ground because of him."

"You worked hard this time." Qin Shaoyan praised with a smile.

Edward purposely spit out the wine he drank before getting into the car to report. He was very dedicated.

"It's not hard." Edward said with a smile, "This dinner was very fruitful. This man named Meng is really good at playing, and he got two beauties to accompany him for wine."

"I heard that one is a TV host and the other is some kind of little star."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Didn't I arrange a hotel room for you?"

"It was arranged, but I didn't ask for it." Edward spread his hands and said with regret on his face, "So boss, you have to compensate me for mental damage."

"I'll count it into your year-end bonus later." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "How was the discussion?"

"Guess what." Edward immediately became energetic and took out a document from his pocket. "The man named Meng agreed to all our requests."

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was shocked and asked in disbelief, "He agreed to everything."

"Correct!"

"All conditions?!"

"That's right, I didn't change anything, I agreed to everything." Edward excitedly handed the document to Qin Shaoyan, "The grandson agreed so quickly that I almost thought I had met a liar."

"Don't tell me, after all these years, this is the first time I've seen such a straightforward negotiation. He seems to be afraid that I won't agree."

Qin Shaoyan frowned, looked at the content carefully, and then sighed, "It's going to be less."

Seeing that his boss seemed a little regretful, Edward suggested, "How about we talk to him again next year."

"Forget it, let's do this for now." Qin Shaoyan put away the documents.

Edward smiled and raised the mineral water bottle in his hand, "Cheers to the boss for entering the entertainment industry."

"That's called the cultural industry." Qin Shaoyan corrected, and then he glanced at Edward, "You did a good job this time."

"Thank you, boss." Edward burped. "By the way, boss, who is that Meng? He asked me how to get American citizenship. I think if he wants to immigrate, why don't I take advantage of him? Take advantage of the value and cooperate more often.”

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "He asked you directly."

"Yes, I asked directly." Edward nodded.

"Then how did you answer?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"I said I'm not familiar with this." Edward shrugged, "I'm not an immigration agent."

Meng Xueyi's behavior is indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, he should have a way to handle this matter. Why would he ask Edward.

Qin Shaoyan thought for a while but had no clue, so he decided to let the matter go.

Qin Shaoyan warned, "Tell him later that you know friends in this field."

Edward glanced at Qin Shaoyan in surprise, then nodded, "OK, I'll follow your instructions."

Qin Shaoyan looked at the document in his hand again and was very satisfied.

With Meng Xueyi’s generous help, there is no obstacle to the online broadcast copyright of domestic film and television.

I have to say that Director Meng is indeed well-connected and can even talk to CCTV.

Qvod.com's ability to obtain the online broadcasting rights of CCTV's films and TV dramas has added insurance to the website, making it more than a step ahead in the competition with other video websites.

Of course, Meng Xueyi provided more than these conditions. He also helped to obtain the "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License".

With this license, you can open a film and television company.
