Ye Chen first took Liu Lingya and Jingjing to find a hotel to settle down, and then everyone started to rest.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the CCTV prime time auction began.
It was already the end of October, and it was the beginning of the windy and sandy season in Beijing.
This auction was held at the Media Center, a comprehensive business hotel.
Before the first CCTV prime-time auction, only a handful of media professionals occasionally stayed in Beijing when they traveled to Beijing on business.
But now, this place has become a place of passion for Chinese enterprises.
Media Center is a ring-shaped building with several buildings connected together to form a semicircle, which symbolizes tolerance and embrace.
Ye Chen got off the car and looked at this familiar building with some emotion in his heart.
Originally, this place should have become a corporate resort in 1994, but due to my arrival, this time period was abruptly moved forward.
If this development continues, China's industrial development will be advanced, but Ye Chen can't care about it now. Winning this tender is the only important thing.
At this time, the square of the Media Center was covered with a red carpet. There were drinks on the mahogany tables on both sides, which you can take by yourself. The hostess in cheongsam walked through the crowd, thoughtfully serving tea and water to various entrepreneurs.
.
Ye Chen walked towards the entrance with Jia Hui. Just as he was about to go in, a man wearing waiter's clothes stopped him.
"Sir, please show your admission ticket."
"Pass?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know he needed this.
"Um... I don't have an admission ticket, can't I go in?"
Ye Chen was a little embarrassed.
"Sorry sir, for the personal safety of each guest and the order of the venue, you must have a ticket to enter."
The man insisted, "If you don't have an admission pass, please don't prevent other guests from entering."
Just when Ye Chen was anxious, he suddenly saw a figure not far away. Isn't that the host of the auction, Tan Xisong, the director of the Information Department of CCTV?
I found her a few years ago to do my first CCTV commercial.
After Ye Chen found out, he quickly said to the waiter: "Look, the person in front of you wearing a women's suit is your minister, right?
I know her and she will let me in."
"Sir, our minister is a celebrity. It's normal for you to know her. The key is that she doesn't know you!"
The waiter said while holding back his laughter.
"No, if I know her, she must know me! Why don't you just ask her to come over?"
Ye Chen said.
"Sir, you are already the eighth person to say this. Every time a liar comes, I have to call Director Tan. Then can I still do my job?"
The waiter sighed and said helplessly.
"No, who are you calling a liar?
Hold the grass..."
Ye Chen said that he was going to fight.
Tan Xisong, who was chatting not far away, heard the movement here and hurriedly came over and asked: "What's going on...Mr. Ye?"
Tan Xisong was very surprised when he saw Ye Chen. He put down the wine glass in his hand and came to shake hands: "Mr. Ye, long time no see! I didn't expect you to come to this bidding meeting!"
"Yes, but you can't get in without your admission ticket!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly.
"What's the admission ticket? It's for outsiders. You and I are our own people. We don't need this kind of thing! Come on, come on, come in!"
Saying that, making an invitation gesture, Ye Chen walked in with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship?
It's so kind to give back to one's own people! I have finally discovered that when you go out to do things, as long as the leader of the other party is a woman, there is nothing you can't stomach."
Jia Hui mocked as she walked.
"What can I do?
Is it my fault that I’m handsome?”
Ye Chen said ruthlessly.
"You are over 40 years old, you have really strong taste!"
"I can only say it's complicated, not serious. I don't mind you in your early twenties!"
"You are already married, how shameless! I want to tell Sister Lingya!"
"Don't think about all the mess. They let me in because I was the first person to eat crabs."
Ye Chen explained.
But just after I finished explaining, I suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly added: "I'm talking about CCTV's prime time."
"Well, I believe you."
Jia Hui nodded very distrustfully.
Tan Xisong, who was behind, looked at the embarrassed waiter and said coldly: "Be more flexible in what you do!"
"Yes, Minister."
Although the waiter felt aggrieved, he did not dare to say anything.
Be more flexible?
How to be flexible?
Should I let someone in without an admission ticket or not?
If anything happens if I go in, it's my responsibility. If I don't let him in, I'll offend the big shot. In the end, I'll be scolded.
The waiter suddenly felt like resigning.
Ye Chen walked to the table, picked up a glass of wine, smelled it, and said with some surprise: "White wine?
In this case, if you use liquor to entertain guests, isn't Minister Tan afraid of getting people drunk?"
"Mr. Ye was joking. This is not just sponsored by the company. It's not free. No one would drink too much in a place like this. Even if you drink too much, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
"Yes, drinking can make you brave. Maybe after a glass of white wine, you will become a king again."
Ye Chen said with a smile and looked at Tan Xisong at the same time.
At this time, she was already a little different from a few months ago.
The caution and modesty of Tan Xisong a few months ago have disappeared, replaced by the unique pride and temperament of successful women.
"Mr. Ye, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine."
Tan Xisong suddenly picked up a glass of wine and said seriously, "If Mr. Ye hadn't come to me to buy advertising for the first time, CCTV's prime time would not be such a grand event now, and I would be just an ordinary Minister of Information."
With that said, Tan Xisong drank all the wine in the glass.
"Not that much."
Ye Chen waved his hand, "Minister Tan, there's no need to thank me, everyone just gets what they need.
If you really want to thank me, why don't you give me a month of prime-time advertising?"
"This..." Tan Xisong took a sip of wine, "Mr. Ye was joking, if CCTV is my private property, let alone a month, even if it is a year, just give it away. Unfortunately, it is state property and I can't do it.
host."
"Alas, things change when people go away! I just said I was a benefactor, but that doesn't mean anything. Why don't you give me a 20% discount before I take this prime time photo?"
Ye Chen said half-jokingly.
"OK."
Tan Xisong agreed directly without thinking.
Ye Chen was a little surprised. In his impression, Tan Xisong was an old fox who liked to plan carefully!
How could a person who could single-handedly turn CCTV from a state-funded state to a tax-paying state agree so simply?
"Mr. Ye, as our benefactor to CCTV, what does a 20% discount mean?"
Tan Xisong said boldly, "But unfortunately, it is almost impossible for you to win this auction."
"This hasn't even started yet," Minister Tan started cursing me, isn't it?"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"I'm not cursing you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be able to say that."
Tan Xisong leaned against Ye Chen's ear and whispered, "This time the winner can only be produced by two companies, and the others are mostly bystanders."
