Chapter 302 Don’t blame me for being too bad!

In the eyes of many people, the gambling agreement signed between Suning and CCTV is crazy. Among these people is Liu Ting, who knew about this matter at the first time. As a professional manager and major shareholder of the company, Liu Ting cannot accept Suning's "wanton behavior".

"Suning, what on earth are you thinking?

"Will you feel uncomfortable if you don't destroy Su Media?"

"Haha, Sister Liu, there's no need to be so angry, right?

Maybe if I win this time, I can get 200 million RMB!"

"Tsk! Forty percent viewership?

I think it’s because of “Drawing Sword”, “The Disguiser” and “The Myth” that you are so successful!
And now I feel like you’ve gotten a little carried away!”

"Sister Liu, you have to have confidence in me!"

"Hmph! What's the point of me having confidence in you!

It also depends on whether Bayi Studio and Huayi have confidence in you!

I heard that you and Kang Honglei went too far this time, completely disregarding market rules and producing a bizarre TV series without a female lead."

"Suning, my friend at Huayi said that Huayi's boss, Er Wang, has been regretting investing in the film 'Soldier Assault' recently.

Now you've come up with this gambling agreement with CCTV. Aren't you afraid that Huayi and Bayi Film Studio will withdraw their investment?"

"Sister Liu, you're worrying too much!
The TV series has already been filmed, so how can they withdraw their investment?"

“Oh! It’s really hard to say!
Huayi and Bayi are both leading domestic entertainment companies.

If they are determined to withdraw their investment, we at Su Media will have to obediently return their original investment."

Suning knew that Liu Ting's concerns were necessary, and that the gambling agreement between itself and CCTV was to give Huayi and Bayi an excuse to withdraw. Only in this way could it get everything it wanted.

Seeing that Liu Ting also thought so, Suning knew that his plan was stable. Thinking of his pride, Suning smiled unconsciously, and was caught by the angry and worried Liu Ting.

Liu Ting was about to reprimand her boss when she suddenly had a guess. She looked at Suning in disbelief, "Suning, you're not deliberately trying to get Huayi and Bayi to withdraw their shares, are you?"

"That's right! I did it on purpose.

The goal is to get a complete "Soldier Assault" and most likely get Kang Honglei to join Su Media."

"Huh? Suning, are you crazy?"

"Sister Liu, I won't say anything more.

No matter what I say now, you will think I am crazy."

"Humph! You still have some self-awareness!
Bayi and Huayi will soon get the news and come knocking on your door. You better figure out how to deal with them first!"

"Haha, I'll go out and hide for a few days.

Recently, I have been spending time with Song Hye Kyo and have neglected Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan.

I was planning to take advantage of Song Hye Kyo's filming time to find an excuse to take Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan to Thailand.

"Suning, you are really busy!" After hearing Suning's plan, Liu Ting couldn't help but mock Suning.

"Haha, Sister Liu, if Bayi Film Studio and Huayi Film Group come to you, you should accept all the rights to 'Soldier Assault'.

Just give them all their original investment back, not a cent less."

"Should I bargain with them?"

"Don't! You just said it, they are the leaders of the domestic entertainment industry. There is really no need to offend them for such a small matter."

"Humph! Even if you kick them out this time, if 'Soldier Assault' really becomes a big hit, they'll still hate you to death."

"Haha, that's different!

They chose their own path, so they can't blame me for everything in the end!"

Suning knew that Bayi Film Studio and Huayi would definitely blame themselves after they realized what was happening, but they would at least think about their own responsibilities. In addition, Su Media was at its peak, so they would definitely not choose to break off relations with Su Media.

Because she didn't have many scenes in "A Family in Wenzhou", even if Kong Sheng added more scenes for her, it only took four or five days to finish filming, and Song Hye Kyo still stayed in the "A Family in Wenzhou" crew to film.

"Song Hye Kyo, I'm going to Thailand on a business trip tomorrow, and it'll only be for a week!"

"Ah? Then can you wait a little longer? I want to go with you too."

"The itinerary was all arranged in advance, and we had also made an appointment with Thailand in advance. How could it be postponed for no reason?

I know you want to go out with me too, so when I get back from Thailand, if you’re still filming in France, I’ll go there to accompany you.”

"Really? You must come to France to find me as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Then I will accompany you to visit the Champs-Elysees in Paris, France."

"Well! I'll wait for you in Paris!" Song Hye Kyo became happy again after hearing Suning's promise.

After appeasing the clingy Song Hye Kyo, Suning flew to Thailand with Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan, and then went on a three-person beach trip, allowing Suning to completely let herself go.

Suning's prediction was correct. When Bayi Film Studio and Huayi heard about the gambling agreement between Suning and CCTV, they were immediately furious. They all denounced Suning for acting on its own and not taking their two investors seriously.

"Boss Wang, Director Jing, you have completely wronged our CEO Su.

At that time, CCTV's Kang Channel wanted to reject "Soldier Assault" to our General Su.

This is why our CEO Su took the plunge and made a bet. Knowing Suning's true intentions, Liu Ting could only try her best to play the role of a wronged "victim."

"Humph! If CCTV doesn't want "Soldier Assault," you can consider other local TV stations!

You know, Shaanxi TV is also very interested in 'Soldier Assault', and their offer isn't necessarily less than that of stingy CCTV!" Director Jing of the Bayi Film Studio retorted disapprovingly.

"Hehe, Director Jing, let me say something offensive.

How many people watch Shaanxi TV?

If I come up with Shaanxi, no one will be interested, right?"

"This..." Director Jing knew that what Liu Ting said made sense, and was speechless for a moment.

Mr. Wang from Huayi saw Director Jing, who was at a loss for words, and then looked at Liu Ting with a forced smile, "Mr. Liu, where is your Mr. Su?

Why don’t you come out and tell us in person? "

"Haha, Mr. Wang, our Mr. Su has recently gone on a business trip out of town.

I can make the decision on this matter."

"Oh? What a coincidence!" Mr. Wang looked meaningfully at Director Jing beside him, then continued with a smile and asked, "How does Mr. Liu plan to resolve this matter?"

"Mr. Wang, Director Jing, no matter what we at Su Media say now, it cannot change the fact that we at Su Media are wrong.

So we have two counter-proposals here.”

"Two plans?" At this time, President Wang and Director Jing were both surprised, realizing that Su Media had already made preparations.

"Yes! The first plan is that if the premiere ratings of 'Soldier Assault' don't reach the maximum 40%, the losses of Bayi Film Studio and Huayi will be borne by Su Media."

"This"

"The second option is that if Bayi Film Studio and Huayi really don't think Soldier Assault is a success, they can withdraw their investment now. Su Media will refund you according to your original investment ratio."

"." At this time, Mr. Wang and Director Jing were really numb. They thought the first plan was powerful enough, but they didn't expect that the second plan was the most explosive.

Although both plans from Su Media were very generous, almost eliminating all risks for Bayi Film Studio and Huayi, and completely resolving the recent concerns of the two companies, it still seemed that the two units were very dishonest, so neither President Wang nor Director Jing responded on the spot.

After Mr. Wang and Director Jing left Su's Media Company, they did not go back to their respective companies directly. Instead, they went to a cafe to chat.

"Boss Wang, what exactly is Suning up to?

Is he really optimistic about "Soldier Assault"?

"Humph! So what if I'm optimistic?
We have all seen the sample of "Soldier Assault", and the quality is definitely top-notch.

But it's a niche military drama, and with no female lead, I really don't see how it could possibly reach a 40% viewership rating."

"Huh? That's true!
We at Bayi Film Studio also held a review meeting, and we all agreed that if "Soldier Assault" could achieve a 10% viewership rating, it would be a remarkable achievement."

"Yes! So we at Huayi have decided to withdraw from this investment.

Since Su Media values 'Soldier Assault' so much, we can only help them."

"Wouldn't this be too unkind?"

"Honest? Director Jing, honesty is important in the business world. Are you kidding me?"

"Hey! I'll take Su Media's reply back to the company first.

As for the final decision, it's up to the studio's leaders to make the decision." Director Jing also knew that what Mr. Wang said made sense.

Director Jing returned to the Bayi Film Studio and presented the two plans of Su Media. The leaders of the studio were all stunned, and then they unanimously decided to withdraw their shares directly. After all, they were really not optimistic about "Soldier Assault".

“Everyone, how about we at Bayi Film Studio retain 10% of the investment?

After all, it would be too ugly if everyone withdrew!" The leader of the Bayi Film Studio couldn't help but make a suggestion.

After hearing the leader's proposal, many leaders present were tempted, but Director Jing finally sighed, "Oh! Forget it!
If you want to withdraw, withdraw completely!"

"That's fine too!"

"Everyone, I think Suning of Su Media is very interested in Director Kang Honglei.

Why don't we ask Director Kang if he's willing to switch to Su Media?"

After hearing Director Jing's proposal, the factory leaders present knew that this was a disguised form of compensation. At least Su Media would not be too miserable. In any case, there was an explanation.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Director Jing found Kang Honglei, explained the situation to him, and sat there waiting for Kang Honglei's reply.

When Kang Honglei heard Director Jing's introduction, he widened his eyes unconsciously and suddenly felt moved like never before. It was a feeling of dying for one's confidant.

It was not until this moment that Kang Honglei understood why Kong Sheng and Chen Jian were so devoted to Suning. It turned out that Suning was so good at playing the game that it gave them the support of a family.

"Director Jing, I do!"

"Yeah! That's good!

Suning has been coveting you for a long time.

Your transfer to Su Media this time can be considered as an explanation from our Bayi Film Studio to him."

"Director, don't worry!
After I join Su Media, I will definitely serve as a bridge between Bayi Film Studio and Su Media, and strive for more cooperation between the two sides in the future."

"Well! There's no rush for cooperation.

The main goal is to help Su Media get rid of this incident as soon as possible. I'm very worried that Su Media will never recover from this."

"Director, I understand!"

Kang Honglei now fully understood what Director Jing meant, and of course he agreed with it. After all, the investment in "Soldier Assault" was huge, and now all the pressure was on Su Media, which could easily cause Su Media to collapse directly.

After hearing the news that Bayi Film Studio and Huayi had withdrawn their shares, Liu Ting sighed helplessly. When she saw Kang Honglei who had automatically transferred to the company, Liu Ting was really speechless.

It's really not for Suning, but for the sake of Bayi Film Studio. After all, both Bayi Film Studio and Huayi fell into Suning's "evil scheme". Not to mention whether "Soldier Assault" will be a big hit, even if Suning loses this bet agreement, it can still be considered a winner.

Because not only did he win the favor of Bayi Film Studio and Huayi, but he also had the outstanding Kang Honglei. If he encountered any trouble in the future, at least he could talk to Bayi Film Studio.

At this time, Suning was enjoying the sea breeze on a private beach in Pattaya, Thailand, while Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan, who were wearing bikinis beside him, were also very pleasing to the eye. After receiving the news from Liu Ting in China, Suning jumped up excitedly.

“Wow! That’s awesome!
"Soldier Assault" is mine!"

"Suning, what's wrong?" Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan, who were enjoying the sunbath, looked at Suning in surprise.

Suning did not respond to the two women beside him, but instead instructed Liu Ting on the other end of the phone, "Sister Liu, send out the gambling agreement between me and CCTV immediately.

We must make "Soldier Assault" a hit in 05."

"Ah? Aren't you the one who hates hype?"

"Haha, Sister Liu, this time is different!
If "Soldier Assault" had not been hyped, it would definitely not have been able to attract everyone's interest when it was first broadcast.

Because the funds occupied are so huge, it is very likely that Su Media will be unable to recover.

So, this time, there has to be hype, and it’s the kind of crazy hype that’s going on.”

"I know what you mean!"

"Well! Sister Liu, I'm at ease with you doing things!
"Soldier Assault" is still a hot topic.

First, this is a TV series without a female lead.

Second, this is the most realistic military drama.

If anyone is not convinced, the audience is welcome to point out the faults.

Third, it is the bet agreement between me and CCTV."

"Well! Suning, you are really crazy!

I feel like working with you is like a roller coaster!"

"Haha, Sister Liu, do you like this feeling?"

Liu Ting on the other end of the phone was suddenly confused by Suning's question. After she reacted, she said unhappily, "Huh! Do my feelings matter?

First ask your girlfriend if she can handle it!"

"Haha, they're absolutely fine!"

"Oh right! Suning, I have another piece of news for you!
Kang Honglei has already taken the initiative to join our Su Media Company under the persuasion of Bayi Film Studio."

"Ah? Haha, this is a pleasant surprise!"

After hanging up the phone, Suning took Guo Zhenni and Zhang Lan back to the bedroom, and explained the matter to them. It was also the first time that he expressed his importance of "Soldier Assault".

"Suning, are you really so optimistic about this "Soldier Assault"? "

"Hmm! There's a good chance this TV show will become a hit for recruiting soldiers!"

"Ah? So awesome!" Only then did Zhang Lan and Guo Zhenni realize how awesome "Soldier Assault" would be.
