Chapter 199: Cleaning up one’s own plan

A few minutes later, the two returned to the box, and Wang Manting’s mouth curled up slightly, as if she had achieved her wish.

Li Qi had a blank expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. However, he did not participate in the following conversation.

An Qi hesitated for a long time, then gently touched his arm:”Are you… okay?”

Li Qi was stunned:”It’s okay, what’s wrong?”

“Um~ I see you’ve been in a daze, so……”

“Oh, it’s okay. Thank you for your concern.”

The meal lasted less than two hours. Wu Haixiong, Wang Manting and others pretended to be drunk and asked to leave. An Qi naturally followed them. They were going back to the TV station.

Li Qi gave Lao Wu a look, indicating that he had something to say

Lao Wu understood and found an excuse to send the strangers away. Lao Wu asked,”Director Li, do you have anything to tell me?”

“I don’t dare to take the order, but there is something I don’t know whether I should say it or not.……”

This is just a polite remark. If you don’t want to talk, why keep the person here?

Lao Wu raised his hand and said,”Director Li, there are no outsiders here. If you need any help, as long as we can help, we brothers will never refuse!”

Businessmen always leave a way out when they speak. This means that if you can help, help. If you can’t help, don’t force it.

This time Li Qi did not hesitate at all:”Old Wu, the program is basically settled. If you want to be the main sponsor, go and talk to Director Wang.”

Before Lao Wu could be surprised, Li Qi’s next words poured cold water on him:”But the other party has a big appetite!”

“What does Director Li mean?”

“Haha, a 100 million contract, but the other party wants 5 million from me. I’m afraid your position as the main sponsor is not cheap either.”

Lao Wu took a breath and said,”At first glance, five points may not seem high, but the base number is there, this is a huge opening!”

Li Qi said helplessly:”So I am in a bad mood, but I need money urgently now, and this is the only company that can sign a big contract. I have no choice.”

“Why did you keep me here? Do you want to do something?”

Li Qi nodded:”I don’t want to be slandered in the future.”

Lao Wu deeply agrees that in fact, when doing business, it is inevitable to encounter such things.

If I give it to you, I will feel bad because my wallet is at a disadvantage; if I don’t give it to you, I will not be able to continue my business.

Li Qi had just come up with a plan while eating, to clear himself as much as possible.

Even if something goes wrong, he won’t be in trouble, at most he will have to pay some money.

But this plan requires Lao Wu’s cooperation. He said,”Lao Wu, you are in business, so you must have ways to deal with this kind of thing, or the usual channels and routines. I don’t have it, and I don’t want to take this risk, so how about this? I promise to give you a TV series sponsorship quota, and I will fulfill it in my next work.

No matter what the final sponsorship price is, 5 million will be deducted from it.”

He actually only said half of what he said. There was no need to make the other half so clear.

But even a fool could understand Li Qi’s intention, which was to let Lao Wu pay the kickback on his behalf.

In this way, even if there are any problems in the future, they will not be traced back to Li Qi in the end, there is no evidence.

I have to say that he has a good plan, but I don’t know if Lao Wu is willing to accept it.

Li Qi was not in a hurry to urge him. After all, this matter was too sudden and he needed to give people some time to think.

At this time, Lao Wu lit a cigarette, frowned, and thought quickly, calculating the interests of this transaction on himself.

On the surface, it doesn’t seem to do him any harm. Even without Li Qi, if he wants to be the main sponsor, he has to give kickbacks.

No matter how much the kickback is, as long as it is given, the difference between 2 million and 5 million is not big.

In this way, the deal seemed feasible. On the one hand, he gained Li Qi’s friendship; on the other hand, he secured the sponsorship quota for Li Qi’s next work in advance.

Even though he is the financial sponsor, if the other party does not take him to play, no matter how much money he pays, it will be useless.

Now is a critical moment for their beverage brand, and they need to continue to be exposed on a large scale.

So, what better platform than Li Qi’s hit TV series?

As for whether there will be any trouble over there, this is not within his consideration. He has a way to solve it.

After thinking about it, the harm to myself is minimal, and the benefits are obvious. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

In this case, he said,”Okay, let’s just consider it as making friends with Director Li!”

Li Qi let out a long sigh and picked up the wine dispenser:”I recognize you as my friend. No problem. Let’s drink this cup to show our respect.”

Lao Wu gave a thumbs up and said,”Director Li is so brave, he is going to rush in with a kettle!”

Li Qi shrugged:”If not, how can I express my gratitude?”

After that, he drank without saying anything else. You can’t hesitate when drinking this way. If you hesitate for a moment, the alcohol will take effect and you won’t be able to hold it down any longer.

Fortunately, the capacity of this wine dispenser is not large, and it only has three taels when it is fully filled, not to mention that it is not full.

Even so, after drinking nearly two liang of wine in one breath, Li Qi felt uncomfortable for a long time before he recovered.

After taking two bites of cold dishes, Lao Wu finally suppressed the alcohol. He clasped his fists and said,”Just because Director Li drinks so freely, I know I have made the right friend!”

Li Qi put down his chopsticks and said,”I am also forced to do so. It is better to be careful when dealing with these 873 people!”

Lao Wu said:”No matter what, I still want to congratulate Director Li for signing a billion-dollar contract. It’s a cause for celebration.”[]

Li Qi shook his head helplessly:”I haven’t heard it yet.~”

“It’s a done deal, Director Li just puts it at ease”

After having a good meal and a good drink, Li Qi took Lao Wu back to the hotel where he was staying, not for anything else, but to let Lao Wu better understand the new show If You Are the One.

People have to know where the money is spent, right?

In addition, in order to show his sincerity, Li Qi also revealed a lot of details, telling him the advantages of this program and why he dared to ask for 100 million.

After listening to it, Lao Wu didn’t know what to say except admiration.

“Li Qi, no wonder you are successful. With your market insight and courage, ordinary variety show directors can’t even compare to you.”

“Thank you for your praise. I just had this sudden idea. If I wasn’t in urgent need of money, I wouldn’t have sold the project for only 100 million.”

The corners of Lao Wu’s mouth twitched. Fortunately, he didn’t know the word Versailles, otherwise he would have to blame Li Qi.

Talking about 100 million as if it were 18,000, don’t forget, it’s still 2010, 100 million in cash is enough to crush more than % of the physical enterprises in the country

Not satisfied with this? Damn Versailles
