Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Beijing.

Today, Xiao Jun and Mu Qizhong had had their fill of fun and agreed to discuss the naming rights for CCTV's broadcast of the Asian Games.

But unexpectedly, I ran into an old acquaintance.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in disbelief and blurted out, "Holy shit."

Lu Yang guessed right again.

Because, to be honest, the person they met was none other than Mr. Jiang Wanli, Chairman and President of Wanyan Electronics, who had flown in from Xingcheng yesterday afternoon.

"Who are you scolding?"

"Aren't you two going a bit too far?"

It turns out that Jiang Wanli heard everything.

The two men's unanimous exclamation of "Fuck!" caused Jiang Wanli's face to instantly stretch into a long, donkey-like expression.

He retorted with a dark expression.

This is Beijing, the capital city, the place where he stands is CCTV territory, not Shenzhen or Chengdu, so he doesn't need to be polite to them or give them any special consideration. No matter how arrogant these two are, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him here today.

Mu Qizhong and Xiao Jun exchanged another glance.

It was as if everyone was saying: You go (you go), get rid of this old bastard (get rid of this old bastard).

Mu Qizhong, considering himself superior, looked down on entrepreneurs like Jiang Wanli who, despite having some technical skills, thought themselves superior and didn't respect other businessmen and entrepreneurs who, despite lacking technical skills, had worked hard to achieve success.

If such a person falls, they will fall very hard, because once they lose their technical advantage, all that's left are their weaknesses, and they will quickly be eliminated by the brutal business competition.

Why should a billionaire like him respect such a self-righteous guy who is destined to be eliminated?

Seeing that Mu Qizhong remained silent, Xiao Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to greet Jiang Wanli.

"It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Jiang. How could we possibly be targeting you? Mr. Mu and I were just talking about something that made us very happy."

He thought that he could get away with it by doing this.

This way, everyone looks good on the outside.

But they forgot that Jiang Wanli would never think that way; he is a serious and stubborn person.

She immediately retorted, "Oh, what's so funny? Why don't you tell me about it?"

He didn't even see Xiao Jun.

While saying this, his eyes were fixed on Mu Qizhong.

He clearly believed that Mu Qizhong was the mastermind behind the attack against him.

As for Xiao Jun?

What is a spoiled rich kid who's barely out of his teens and relies on his father's wealth?
Xiao Jun was furious.

He blurted out, "Can't my wife have children?"

Mu Qizhong couldn't help but chuckle, and said defiantly, "Yes, we were just talking about his wife giving birth. What, did that bother you, President Jiang?"

"Damn it..."

As he glanced at it, he added, "Goodness, when did this CCTV building change its ownership to the Jiang family?"

"do you know?"

He asked Xiao Jun.

"And you, do you understand?"

He then asked the CCTV staff member who was responsible for receiving the two of them, who was following behind them.

Does anyone know the answer?

"Have it?"

"Are you people at CCTV aware of this?"

"Does he have the right to order us to shut up?"

One question after another, each one brimming with righteous indignation and posing a question mark, left everyone with strange expressions, speechless, and ultimately only able to shake their heads helplessly.

"you……"

"What? You...want to fight?"

Jiang Wanli angrily pointed at Mu Qizhong, and Mu Qizhong also turned around and pointed at Jiang Wanli's nose. The two almost got into a fight.

Upon seeing this, CCTV staff could no longer contain themselves and quickly stepped forward to separate the two.

They tried to dissuade him separately.

Fortunately, there were enough staff members; otherwise, it might not have been possible to persuade these two business tycoons, who had already lost their tempers, to calm down.

After all, the two were not alone; they were both accompanied by assistants and bodyguards.

Once they start fighting, it will definitely be a chaotic melee.

"Unreasonable."

Jiang Wanli loosened the tie that was choking him, and even his breathing began to become somewhat difficult.

"You're the unreasonable one, your whole family is unreasonable, you son of a bitch, come and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Mu Qizhong rolled up his sleeves.

Xiao Jun hugged him tightly around the waist from behind, telling him not to act impulsively, "Don't be impulsive, brother, we're all people of status, please don't act rashly."

He didn't want to end up on the news with them.

After all, there's a TV station right here, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If they pull up the surveillance footage and expose the whole cause and effect of the conflict between the three ninjas, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

He was just making fun of his wife, saying "Fuck" because he was happy. His wife gave birth, and if this gets exposed, wouldn't he be the most embarrassed?
A lose-lose situation?

No, no, no, he figured it out. These two old guys didn't care about being exposed at all, and they didn't mind using CCTV's territory to have a full-blown fight with each other.

"A real business war isn't about fighting, thuggery, or spewing nonsense. It's about presenting facts, reasoning, and letting strength speak for itself. I, Jiang Wanli, owe my success today to my own abilities, not anyone else. You two tried to oust me back then but failed, and ended up slinking out of Wanyan Company. Now that we've run into each other, you want revenge and to mock me, which I understand. But doing so only proves you're still losers. You two, surnamed Mou and Xiao, just you wait. I will prove you wrong..."

Jiang Wanli was pulled away by his assistant and CCTV staff, and before leaving, he didn't forget to utter these harsh words.

Mu Qizhong was so angry by his words that he clutched his chest.

Xiao Jun was so angry that he simply let go of her hand.

Let them fight.

It would be best to beat that bastard on the other side to death.

"grass"

The single word "艹" (fuck) perfectly expressed the anger in his heart.

It's just a little late.

He let go, and then CCTV staff rushed in. One by one, they squeezed in between them, sticking their faces out as if to say: "Hit me if you want, hit me all you want."

As a grassroots worker.

They were also suffering inwardly. If, during the journey, one of the distinguished guests got into a fight with another, that would be quite a spectacle. They would definitely be criticized, their future prospects would be severely affected, and their careers would be shrouded in darkness. To put it bluntly, their bonuses at the end of the month would be gone...

Gone.

They won't do that!

So they have to stop them.

"Mr. Mou, please calm down. Our leader will be here soon."

"Yes, our leader will be out soon. Don't worry, our leader will definitely give you an explanation."

"let go……"

"I've calmed down."

In the end, Mu Qizhong did not really fight desperately to break free and went forward to fight Jiang Wanli one-on-one.

Just making an appearance.

To vent anger.

Then these CCTV staff members gave him a way out, and he accepted it.

However, his anger was genuine; just because he didn't physically retaliate didn't mean he wouldn't.

He sneered, "Five minutes. I'll give you five minutes to find out what this old bastard is here for. Whatever he's doing, you'd better think it over and decide whether to choose him or to cooperate with me, Mou."

The CCTV staff nodded repeatedly.

"no problem."

Someone quickly went to call the leader.

After finishing the call, he leaned closer and said somewhat apologetically, "Mr. Mu, I've found out what you asked me to look into. Mr. Jiang came to our station for the same reason as you—to get the naming rights for this year's Asian Games broadcast. As for... well... the leader said... we still need to consider it comprehensively."

Mu Qizhong angrily said, "What are you considering? Who will pay more? Heh, fine, then I'll see just how much Jiang Wanli can offer."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said rather rudely to Xiao Jun, who had just grabbed his waist to stop him from making a move, "Increase our budget by another 50%. If the extra amount doesn't pass at the board meeting, I'll personally sponsor it out of my own pocket."

The company "Little Prodigy" is not owned by one person.

Mu Qizhong's shareholding is only slightly over 10%.

So the one who really made the decisions this time was Xiao Jun, the younger brother who, despite holding only 18.7% of the shares, had secured his position as the company's president.

Xiao Jun nodded.

He was also angry. That old man Jiang hadn't given him any face, treating him like a stupid rich kid. Now he even wanted to snatch the CCTV broadcasting rights for the Asian Games that he had his eye on. It was outrageous!
If we don't stop him and let this old bastard figure out just how many eyes Master Ma has, wouldn't we lose face?
So he immediately slapped his thigh and said heavily, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. But you don't have to pay the extra part all by yourself. I'll try to get it approved by the board of directors. If that doesn't work, then we'll split it evenly, each paying half. Just think of it as skipping a few more girls, skipping a few more trips to the sea, and skipping a few more visits to the Heaven on Earth."

Mu Qizhong nodded in satisfaction. "You've got some conscience after all. I forgive you. If you hadn't been such a coward and grabbed my waist to stop me from beating him up, look how red his face would be! Damn it..."

"Yes, yes, you are amazing."

Xiao Jun didn't argue with him; these older folks just loved to brag.

It's as if you'd actually do it.

"Shall we go?"

"Let's go, let's go, we have to beat him to it this time..."

"What do you mean by 'hijacking'? We were the ones who wanted it first! This old guy is the one trying to steal it from us. As for Lu Yang, he actually guessed that we'd run into each other so early on..."

"So it's this kid's fault?"

"That's right, it's not the kid's fault. How come we both said 'damn' at the same time? What a coincidence..."

"I'll write it down and tell him next time."

"Pah, pah, pah! You dare to tattle on me? Believe me or not, I'll strangle you! Damn it, look at you with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, your heart is wicked too..."

"No, we're relatives now... Let go... Please let go... Old man, I'm getting angry..."

The two of them playfully wrestled and joked as they went up to the 17th floor.

Within two hours, money paved the way, and after paying a 30% premium to buy the sole title sponsorship rights for the Asian Games broadcast,

The two of them went downstairs triumphantly.

Compared to them, Jiang Wanli's face was so sour that his wrinkles could trap a mosquito.

While cursing and swearing, he secretly had someone keep an eye on the two men. After they left the CCTV building, he led his men back and went up to the 17th floor of the CCTV building.

This deal is no longer for CCTV's sole title sponsorship of the Asian Games.

Since we've already "lost one thing, we have to find a way to "gain something else."

Fortunately, he still has a backup plan in hand, which is to prepare for the possibility of failing to secure the exclusive naming rights for CCTV's broadcast of this year's Asian Games.

Moreover, fearing that those two scoundrels might use their wealth to cause trouble again, ruin his plans, and steal his scheme, he made sure to wait until the two left the CCTV building, personally have someone watch them get into the car, and drive away before leading his men back upstairs.

Therefore, there is no possibility of failure!

"Minister Tan, I'm here again. Let's talk about the advertising fees for the historical drama 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' one of the Four Great Classical Novels that CCTV is scheduled to broadcast in late October. I'm here with sincerity, and no one is causing trouble now. I hope we can reach an agreement in one go. Otherwise, I can only assume that you are deliberately targeting me, Jiang, Minister Tan."

He was quite boastful.

He was angry. Just now, in this office, those two bastards were joking around, treating money like it was nothing, and raising the price so high that he, the chairman and president of Wanyan Electronics, lost face.

He believed that the woman in front of him was also responsible; she shouldn't have let those two bastards who were deliberately causing trouble in as well.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to get the three parties to raise the price so that they can sell the exclusive broadcasting rights at a high price.

In his view, this behavior was against business norms.

That's also very unethical.

Adding to his disdain was the fact that the other party was a high-ranking official at CCTV, yet he acted so mercenarily, only caring about money and disregarding rules.

Tan Xisong looked up, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and asked with a strange expression, "Mr. Jiang, are you really going to buy it?"

She had done her research and learned some things. She knew very well that in Wan Yan Electronics' equity structure, Mr. Lu was the real major shareholder, while Mr. Jiang and Mr. Sun from overseas were working together to rival Mr. Lu in the company.

Previously, CCTV's financial channel aired a special program that interviewed Wanyan Electronics Technology Company, using General Manager Jiang Wanli as the protagonist to launch a series of promotional activities.

The first VCD player on the market was made by their company.

She had previously speculated that the young CEO Lu had spent tens of millions to buy two prime-time TV drama ad slots, and that Wan Yan Company should be among them.

Now it seems, judging from the conflict between President Jiang, President Mou, and Xiao Jun just now, that President Mou and President Xiao are both good friends of that young President Lu. So it seems that the rumors that Mr. Jiang Wanli, the president of Wanyan Electronics, and Mr. Lu Yang, the president of the major shareholder Century Group, are at odds, and that their conflict is almost public knowledge and known to everyone in the company, are true...

Jiang Wanli said confidently, "That's right, I have high hopes for your 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' TV series. It's said that its investment has set a record of over 100 million, so I'm confident that its ratings will also set a record. Name your price. I've decided to buy all the advertising slots in the first 30 episodes. I believe there aren't many advertisers as powerful as our company, and so willing to make such a bet."

Tan Xisong took a breath, suppressed a laugh, put on a professional expression, opened the drawer, and took out the price list for in-show advertising slots in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

He pushed the document onto the table and said, "Mr. Jiang, look, this was printed a while ago. We won't overstate anything, but we definitely won't conceal anything either. Everything will be done according to regulations. The price will be exactly what it should be. Considering you're a long-time client of CCTV, I'll take the liberty of giving you a 99% discount. What do you think?" (End of Chapter)
