Deputy Station Chief Jia just stood there listening and looking at Feng Yu bragging, not saying a word.
“Chief Jia, say something. Just tell me whether if you agree or not.” Feng Yu was slightly pissed.
“Manager Feng, it is only the opening ceremony of your shopping mall, and CCTV had already given you 2 minutes of air time in the news. That’s 2 minutes! You are still not satisfied? It will not be easy for me to increase the time of the footage and you even want to be featured on and other news slots? Do you think I have the authority to approve it?”
When Feng Yu came to visit Chief Jia, Chief Jia was still treating him nicely. If Chief Jia knew that Feng Yu was there to make such harsh demands, he would hide from him.
“Chief Jia, it’s not the same. CCTV news is reporting because the top officials will be attending the opening ceremony. How can 2 minutes airtime be enough? You can even tell your audiences the full story.”
“We are reporting the news. We are not advertising for you!” Deputy Chief Jia retorted.
“How about I make some donations for your TV station? Come on.”
“Enough. Our TV station dare not to take money from you. Our Premier only gets 5 minutes of airtime on tomorrow’s news. You think the opening ceremony of supermarkets will get the same treatment? Furthermore, is to praise companies that had outstanding results. You all still have not achieved any results, and you want to be featured?”
“Then what about the news in other time slots? You should be able to give us more airtime in other time slots. Can’t you report on Superman Li?” Feng Yu insisted.
“Yes, we can, but the airtime will not be too long. The morning and afternoon news also have timing restrictions. But I must make things clear with you. The interview cannot be conducted in from of your supermarkets. Don’t think I don’t know you are trying to do product placement.” Deputy Chief Jia stared at Feng Yu.
Damn! Old Jia had become smarter.
“Superman Lee is here for the opening of the Supermarket. If he is not standing at the supermarket entrance, where should he stand? Also, Hong Kong’s Fu Family Fu Rongbing will also be present. The Fu Family’s total wealth is higher than the Li Family and can be considered more influential than them. I want CCTV to interview the representative of the Fu Family. I remember our CCTV have a talk show. If someone from the Fu Family showed their support on Hong Kong’s return to China on a CCTV program, it would be good for our government.” Feng Yu threw a bait at Chief Jia.
“Someone from the Fu Family agrees to be interviewed by us? Are you sure?”
“You think I will lie about this? I am very close with the Fu Family.” Feng Yu patted his chest. Hmmm…… Fu Guangzheng is also a member of the Fu Family, and he was the representative of the Fu Family in China.
“Okay. Then I will give you 2 to 3 minutes of airtime in the morning and afternoon news. But it will still depend on the higher-ups. If there is no important news to be reported, then it should not be a problem.”
“What about ?” Feng Yu asked.
“You just won’t give up. How about this? If you all can achieve outstanding results after one month, then it should not be a problem to be featured on . Our CCTV program does not only report on state-owned enterprises. We also report on other companies.” Deputy Chief Jia replied.
“Deal. Chief Jia, I heard that the Station Chief will be retiring after this year and you will be taking over his position. Congratulations.” Feng Yu smiles.
“It’s not confirmed yet.” Although Chief Jia said it was not confirmed, but from his facial expression, it was already confirmed he will be promoted in a few months.
“Chief Jia, if you need any help from me, just tell me. We are good friends, and I will do my best to help you.” Feng Yu proudly said.
“Thank you. I will surely look for you if I needed any help.”
“Errrr…… Chief Jia, tomorrow is the opening of Tai Hua Supermarket. Are you coming?” Feng Yu invited him.
“It’s not suitable for me to be there. I will drop by some other time.” Chief Jia promised. He wanted to be safe and steady until he takes over the post of Station Chief. If he gets too much limelight, he might get into trouble.
“Okay. Oh, here is a gift from our Tai Hua Supermarket.” Feng Yu took out a stack of cards and pass it to Chief Jia.
“What’s this?” Chief Jia asked. From the way Feng Yu speaks, he seems to be giving him some special gift. But this card was not a bank card. Feng Yu also knew that he does not accept bribes.
“It’s a shopping card for our supermarkets. You can use it at any of our supermarkets. The value of the card is written at the back. You can use these cards as benefits for your staffs. These are just some small gifts from us. If there is nothing else, I will leave now. There are still many things to do in the company.”
Superman Li is in Beijing, Fu Rongbing in Shanghai, Fu Guangzheng in Jinling, Li Zekai in Shancheng, and Feng Yu had to go to Hangzhou. All of them were separated into different provinces to ensure there will be someone important at the opening ceremony of every branch.
After Feng Yu left, Deputy Chief Jia looked at the stack of shopping cards. He flipped it over and look at the value. Damn. Feng Yu’s small gift to him was not small. There were 3 different values for the cards. 500, 1,000 and 3,000 RMB. The total value of all the cards was more than 15,000 RMB. It was several times his annual salary!
But Feng Yu had said that these cards were for CCTV staffs and not for him. This was why he accepted it. But if he knew the value of the cards earlier, he will not take it.
But Deputy Chief Jia needs to win over people’s support for his upcoming promotion. Feng Yu’s gift came just at the right time. He had accepted a favor from Feng Yu, and he will return the favor to Feng Yu in the future. Anyway, Feng Yu’s businesses were all legit, and no one will say anything when he returns the favors.
……
“Today is the opening of our Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation’s 20 hypermarkets all over China. We set up this hypermarket is to let our customers experience better shopping experiences and convenience. We will ensure the customers will get everything they needed in our hypermarkets……. I represent Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation to invite our Beijing’s Secretary of Municipal Party Committee and Beijing Mayor to cut the ribbon with me!” Superman Li stood on the stage and made a speech.
Beijing’s Secretary of Municipal Party Committee also represented Beijing to make a speech. He thanked Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation to build such a convenient shopping outlet for the residents.
Bang, bang, bang…….
20 big confetti cannons were launched, and Superman Li, Beijing’s Secretary of Municipal Party Committee and Beijing Mayor cut a long red statin to announce the opening. There was also a special guest present at the ceremony. Iron-fist Zhu was the first person to enter Tai Hua Supermarket. He was there to experience the new shopping experience.
Iron-fist Zhu was satisfied with Tai Hua Supermarket using confetti cannons instead of firecrackers. The reason given was firecrackers were dangerous and will pollute the air. There were many guests at the opening ceremony, and it’s better to be safe.
Why did Tai Hua Supermarket use 20 confetti cannons? It was because 20 branches were opening at the same time. It was the world’s first corporation to open 20 hypermarkets at the same time.
World’s first. This made Iron-fist Zhu happy. This shows that China was developing fast and had caught up with the rest of the world.
“Mr. Li, can we enter?”
“Mr. Zhu, please enter.” Superman Li smiled and entered the Hypermarket with Iron-fist Zhu.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
