The most popular king in the world

Chapter 134 Bidding
Just as Yu Tingting hung up her phone, there was a sudden knock on the door. Tang Xi thought it was the receptionist who had come to announce the start of the auction, so she stepped forward and opened the door.

But after the door opened, there was a handsome middle-aged man standing outside, wearing a well-tailored hand-sewn brown suit and brown leather shoes that were spotlessly polished, he looked about in his early forties.

If it weren't for this person's blue eye sockets, deep-set eye sockets, and his appearance of being hollowed out by wine, he would be called handsome.

"You are..." The strange look on Tang Xi's face flashed as he held the doorknob, and then he looked at the smiling man at the door with doubts.

"Are you Mr. Yu in there? Tell her that her third brother is here, and you let me in first." The man said so frivolously, then raised his hand and pushed the door in, as if he couldn't wait to get in. look.

"Hey, you..." Tang Xi seemed to be taken aback, and tried hard to stop this person.

At this moment, Yu Tingting, who was sitting on the sofa in the room, had sat down again and spoke: "Xiaoxi, let him in, this is his territory, you can't stop him, the station master."

Only then did Tang Xi let go, opened the door inward, and then made a gesture of invitation to the other party, and smiled apologetically at the other party.

Hou Longbo didn't care, instead, he walked in laughingly, while looking up and down at Tang Xi.

"Sister and sister, your assistant is well chosen. You look pleasing to the eye and know how to protect you. You have a good eye."

He said words of praise to Tang Xi, but in Tang Xi's ears, why was it so awkward, and the other party looked at him, which made Tang Xi feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. Although it was only for a few seconds, it made Tang Xi She was uncomfortable.

"Third brother was joking, the bidding meeting is about to start, you come to see me, don't you be afraid that others will see and gossip?" How could Yu Tingting not know what this guy Hou Longbo was up to?She knew this dude too well.

I don't know what the Hou family thinks, why they spend so much effort to push such a waste to the current position.

"Cut, it's not your third brother bragging. We dare not say anything else. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, who dares to gossip about me behind my back?" Hou Longbo said arrogantly. Just this one sentence, its idiot essence is exposed at a glance no more.

In such a large department as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan, not to mention the party secretary and director of the station at the top, even counting down a few, he, the idle deputy station, would not be able to turn to him.

Others usually don't want to know him as well, they just look at the face of the old man of the Hou family and the eldest son of the Hou family. If these two people are not standing in front of him, he, Hou Longbo, is nothing.

"Okay, I know you're great, third brother, but you came to see me, you shouldn't just remind me of this, right?" Yu Tingting actually doesn't feel cold about this bastard at all. If it wasn't for Mr. Hou's orders, she wouldn't Don't care about Hou Longbo's life or death, even if he is that person's third brother!
Back then, if it wasn't for this bastard who coveted him, how could that person break up with his family in a fit of anger, and how could...

Hou Longbo didn't seem to notice Yu Tingting's disgust towards him at all, he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and said, "I came here to tell you that the original hidden bid has been changed to an open bid under my suggestion, and our Hou family will win Just win on the bright side, let others see the strength of our family."

'idiot! Looking at the proud Hou Longbo, Tang Xi, who was standing aside, thought of this word in his heart.I really don't know how such an idiot became the deputy director of a provincial station.

The original hidden bid was the most suitable for a company like Yixin with insider connections.Under the combination of internal and external, Yixin can definitely win the outsourced program time slot with the smallest cost.

But if it is changed to an open bidding, then there will be more unexpected factors. Among other things, if you show that you are bound to win, there will definitely be competitors who will jump out and raise the price.In this way, Yixin might have to spend a lot of wronged money in order to win the final victory.

Yu Tingting glanced at Hou Longbo who was on the sofa next to him, and saw that he was full of complacency at the moment, as if he had done something extremely glorious, Yu Tingting, who secretly scolded 'I am a hero and a softie' in her heart, finally did not comment on it own opinion.

"Since you've arrived in Hangzhou, don't leave today, brother and sister. After the bidding is over, the third brother will show you around. With your current status, there's no need to do everything yourself. Leave things to your subordinates. You just need to grasp the general direction."

Although Hou Longbo knew that Yu Tingting would probably not agree, he still sent the invitation out of luck, but from his flickering eyes, he could tell that his so-called wandering around was probably more than just wandering around.

Yu Tingting raised her hand to tuck the ends of her hair behind her ears, a small inadvertent movement, showing feminine femininity. "Thank you third brother for your kindness, but this time it really won't work, next time."

Yu Tingting didn't even bother to find an excuse to prevaricate, she hated this man to the extreme, but he was from the Hou family, and Yu Tingting couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.

Hou Longbo wanted to persuade him again, but at this time someone knocked on the door again, this time to inform that the bidding was about to start, Yu Tingting took this opportunity and smiled at Hou Longbo: "Third brother, the bidding has started, you don't mind me, go Do your best, and I won't bother you after the bidding is over."

After finishing speaking, Yu Tingting took Tang Xi away regardless of the other party's reaction, leaving Hou Longbo sitting on the sofa with a livid face.Looking at the back of the second daughter before going out, Hou Longbo's eyes were full of greed: "Damn bitch, it's just a dog at home. Sooner or later, I'll let you know who is the master."

From the first time Hou Longbo saw this woman surnamed Yu when his younger brother brought her into the house, he wished he could immediately take it as his own. During the Spring Festival that year when his fourth child drank too much, he even dared to give it to her. Drugs were given, but Yu Tingting escaped by luck.

Later, the daughter-in-law watched closely, and this woman was careful everywhere, so he failed to fulfill his wish all these years.Sitting close at hand in the same room just now, if Hou Longbo hadn't crossed his legs, he would have shown an ugly face on the spot. He, Third Master Hou, has seen countless women in his life, and this is the first piece of fat he wants to possess but can't get.But people are like this, the more you can't get it, the more itchy you feel.

Looking down at his crotch, Hou Longbo knew that he would not be able to leave the house without venting.He took out his mobile phone, pressed a set of numbers, and called a location host from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV.

"Come to the VIP lounge in the administrative building, room 208, as soon as possible." Hou Longbo ordered urgently, and then hung up the phone, not caring whether the other party was convenient or not.

Led by the staff, Yu Tingting and Tang Xi entered the large stepped conference room on the third floor of the administrative building. When she entered, she found that there were already many acquaintances in the conference room, all of whom were well-known big companies in the circle.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Yu? It's been a long time!"

"Mr. Yu, why don't you make a phone call when you come to Hangzhou, at least let the little brother show his kindness as a landlord."

"Mr. Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you are getting younger and younger!"

……

The people in the room greeted Yu Tingting one after another, and they all lived in the same circle, and they didn't see those who looked up. Naturally, they were not strangers to each other.Although colleagues are enemies, but this matter of face between each other is still tolerable.

Yu Tingting also responded to the greetings of these people one by one, and then, led by the staff, sat in the second row in the middle of the conference room.The people sitting in this row are all super-large companies in the circle of the same level as Yixin, including Yixin, there are only six of them.

As for the first row, it should be reserved for the leaders of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan, and there is no one at the moment. Obviously, these officials and gentlemen are still sitting at such a moment.Seeing that they are about to be forced to go to Liangshan, this group of leaders can't let go of their so-called airs, which is really annoying and pathetic.

After nodding to representatives of several companies around her, Yu Tingting sat down after greeting each other.The representatives of the six companies placed in the second row did not have any close communication.

After all, with the scale of these six companies, it can be said that almost all of them have touched the ceiling of the domestic entertainment industry. They are the small group at the top of the pyramid. Each company has its own field of expertise, and everyone has a tacit understanding. When planing food in this territory that belongs to me, I seldom extend my chopsticks into other bowls.

But few do not mean none, so the relationship between several companies is far more tense than it looks on the outside.At their level, naturally there is no need to pretend to be false to each other, and this is the reason why the relationship is lukewarm.

After everyone arrived, a group of leaders from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan arrived late.Except for the secretary of the party group who was not at home, all the important leaders of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan came to the bidding site. A group of more than a dozen people sat in the front row, and then the director of the station signaled to the staff that the bidding could begin.

A male host from Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV station in his early thirties stepped onto the podium and said with a smile, "Hello, leaders and guests..."

"The purpose of this bidding is for the prime time of our TV channel starting from March, every Friday night from 8000:200 to [-]:[-]. This bidding is conducted in the form of auction, with a reserve price of [-] million Huaxia coins. The asking price must not be lower than [-] million Huaxia coins, and the one with the highest price wins."

"The company that won the bid will be responsible for producing a large-scale music variety show for our station. The specific requirements and split rules have been sent to everyone in advance. If you have no questions, then we will officially start. "

The host looked around and saw that no one raised any objections, and immediately announced the start of bidding.

"8000 million is not too expensive, so we, Huaxing, will be the first to throw bricks and attract jade." As soon as the host finished speaking, a man sitting in the fourth row of the conference room raised his hand with a smile.

Huaxing is regarded as a second-rate company in the industry. Although the scale is not large, the first brother in the company is very popular, so no one will underestimate Huaxing's strength.

"Boss Lu is right. Our Haiya is also optimistic about this time period, but Boss Lu wants to spend the reserve price to pick up the loopholes. I am afraid it will be useless. Haiya will offer 500 million." The scale is similar to that of China Star, which started as a brokerage company. Although there are no famous artists under its contract, they are superior in number and have a lot of energy in the circle.

"Boss Liang, how can you say that Lu is always looking for leaks? Mr. Lu has said that he is throwing bricks to attract jade! Since both of you have bid, we Tianmei can't let you specialize in the front, but it's only three to five million yuan. The price increase is a bit too much, with so many leaders present, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV’s Friday prime time, it’s too embarrassing to say it without 500 million.”

A glamorous woman sitting in the back row of the conference room suddenly opened her mouth and directly pushed the price to hundreds of millions.Today, Tianmei's company is not large, and there are not many signed artists. It can only be regarded as a third-rate company in the industry, but they are backed by the sponsor's father, so they are really more confident than the two previous bids.

The woman who spoke was called Xi Mengying. She was also an artist back then, and she signed with Boss Liang and his group Haiya, but later she fell out with Haiya. The exact reason is unknown, but after she got out of Haiya, she set up her own company. After losing Tianmei, she has been in trouble with Haiya everywhere in the circle since then.

No one at the scene was surprised that the bidding price was pushed past nine figures so quickly. After all, it was the [-]-week golden schedule of going to Star TV.

The asking price continued, and the price soon exceeded the 5000 million mark.Even the leaders of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan did not expect that the two-hour schedule every week would be so popular.

At this moment, Hou Longbo walked slowly from the back row, greeted the leaders in the front row casually, and sat down on the sofa in the front row.On such an important occasion today, this guy is late and doesn't even mean to apologize, which is really annoying.

Although the bidding was fierce, the bidders were all the representatives of the companies sitting in the middle and back rows. This is not to say that the six companies in the front row were not interested in this time slot.The reason for keeping silent was entirely because it was not yet time for them to make a move.

When the price exceeded 5000 million, the person sitting on the far left in the first row finally couldn't hold back: "[-] million from the era!"

The speaker was Ian Brook, the CEO of Voice of Times, the largest record company in China. He was a professional management talent hired from abroad with a high salary by the boss of Times.

As the representative of China's largest record company, Ian also attaches great importance to this bidding. Times itself started out in the record industry, and most of the artists signed under it are singers. Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV's bidding this time can be said to be in the hands of Times.

Even if they know that they will lose money, Times still wants to win this time slot, because what they value is not just money gain or loss.If they take over this variety show, Times will be able to arrange its own artists into the show. This is something that most of the companies present can't compare with Times. Who would let people have more singers under their banners?

Ian opened his mouth and directly pushed the price to 5000 million. This was also a plan made before the bidding. The direct price increase of [-] million was to deter other companies with ideas, so that most of the companies participating in the bidding would not Quenches the mind of competition.

Those present were all business elites, and all those who participated in the bidding had also carried out cost accounting.In the bidding stage, 8000 million is already the limit of profit and loss, because the shooting of the time slot is just the beginning, and the subsequent production of the program will require a large amount of expenses.

Times asked for a price of [-] million, obviously due to the large number of singers under its banner, and the incomparable advantages of other companies in terms of program production costs.The more money spent in the auction, the guest appearance fee can be compensated later.

After hearing the offer from Times, representatives of three of the six people sitting in the front row smiled wryly and shook their heads. It seemed that they didn't expect Ian to shout such a price out of his mouth.It is not a wise choice for a businessman to pursue profit, knowing that he will lose money but still bump into it.

"1000 million to [-] million!" The person sitting on Yu Tingting's right spoke when the people who participated in the bidding in the conference room were still shocked by the big money of the times.

The host on the stage seemed to have been beaten into chicken blood, and shouted loudly with his face flushed: "1000 million 1000 million, Mr. Zhang from Qihu Entertainment bid 1000 million 1000 million, do you have any higher bids?" ? [-] million [-] million once, [-] million [-] million twice..."

Ian of the era frowned, and after some weighing in his heart, he gave up the idea of ​​fighting. Even if he was optimistic about this time period, he couldn't blindly squander the shareholders' money, which would make him unable to talk to the board of directors. confessed.

"1000 million, 5000, 200 million!" Yu Tingting finally spoke, adding another [-] million without domineering sideways, she just raised the price by [-] million according to the bidding requirements.

Zhang Songyang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yixin to jump out to disrupt the situation at this time.

"Mr. Yu, is Yixin also interested in this time slot?"

Facing Zhang Songyang's inquiry, Yu Tingting replied lightly: "Yes, it's actually quite good to try more."

"2000 million and [-] million!" Zhang Songyang raised the price by another level.The reason why he is so stubborn is because Qihu Entertainment has the idea of ​​entering the music scene this year, and the variety show schedule of Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV can be said to be the best stepping stone for Qihu Entertainment to enter the music scene.

"Mr. Yu, you, Yixin, are doing well in the TV industry. Why do you have to come to this muddy water? Why don't you just give in and sell my brother."

"I also want to save face from Mr. Zhang. If we continue to fight like this, we will lose both sides. Why don't Mr. Zhang show face to my little sister, and I will treat you to dinner later. 2000, 200!" Yu Tingting insisted, And she didn't add much, and raised the price by [-] million every time she opened her mouth.

Zhang Songyang's complexion became more and more ugly. He didn't know what kind of crazy Yu Tingting was doing today, so why did she get into a fight with him, and she looked like she was bound to win. No matter how much he asked, if she killed her, she would be 200 million more than him. Zhang Songyang simply wondered if this woman came against him on purpose.

"3000 million and [-] million!" Zhang Songyang gritted his teeth and shouted out this figure, which has exceeded his expectations before he came.But the reason why he is still gritting his teeth and insisting on the quotation is not because he is holding out for face, nor is he really determined to win the bid at such a high price.

He is actually making trouble for Yu Tingting now, since Yu Tingting makes him unhappy, then he has to find a way to make Yu Tingting suffer some losses.

"3000 million, 200, and [-] million." Sure enough, Yu Tingting added another [-] million as usual.Seeing that Zhang Songyang seemed to raise the price again, Yu Tingting was keenly aware of the other party's intention, and she said immediately: "Mr. Zhang, if you still want to raise the price, I promise that I will shut up honestly and let you step down." To become the winner of today's bidding in a down-to-earth manner, Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhang Songyang's expression changed several times, but in the end he still didn't dare to bet on it.At this price, if the time period is taken home, it will mean that he will lose more than 5000 million yuan before the show is produced. In addition to the post-production and publicity expenses, the loss will inevitably be astronomical. No matter how rich he is, he can't Not so bad.

With a curl of his lips, Zhang Songyang finally gave up on his previous idea. This Yu Tingting is too shrewd to see through his troublesome intentions so quickly. If she really doesn't follow after he bids the price, then his loss will be great. .In desperation, he could only curl his lips and put the number plate in his hand on the seat next to him.

Just like that, after paying 3000 million and [-] million, Yixin finally won the bidding!
'I hope Shao Yang can surprise me as usual, otherwise Yixin will suffer a lot this time! Yu Tingting thought to herself while dealing with people's hypocritical congratulations.
