Fang Tianyu and Lu Xiaoliang looked at each other. They did not know what was wrong with CEO Chen.
Actually, the list in his hand was filled with such hardcore books. But why did he have such a strong opinion of this particular book?
Seeing that the two of them couldn't answer, Chen Guang jabbed the list with his finger and said with tears in his eyes, "We're trying to bluff Old Rao, but we can't just accept books from any random person! I must have seen a ghost in my life! The first chapter of this book made me vomit for three days and three nights! I even made a bet with the original author of this lousy book. I said that I would gouge out my own eyes if anyone bought the copyright of this lousy book! My Krypton gold dog eyes must be blind. Why did I see such a lousy title in this list! Oh my god, I can't take it anymore. My eyes hurt. My heart hurts. "
Then Chen Guang immediately retracted his supernatural power and looked straight at the two of them. "Then the question is, who bought the copyright?"
Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu turned to look at each other. They knew that CEO Chen was going to pursue the matter!
Although they did not know why he knew the author of this lousy book and had even read the first chapter, he was poisoned!
But it was obvious that he was very unhappy about this matter.
The person who bought the copyright of this book was going to be in trouble!
At this moment, Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu looked at each other. Their gazes were focused on each other, shining with the light of mutual appreciation. They were comrades who had gone through thick and thin together!
After their eyes met for a short while, they immediately understood each other. They looked at each other silently and nodded heavily.
This short exchange made the two of them reach a consensus. They had to bear it together!
"It's him!"
The two of them pointed at each other.
The two of them thought to themselves at the same time. Damn, as expected of the person I admire. He is as sinister as I am.
"Despicable!"
"Shameless!"
"Despicable!"
"Alright, Boss. We signed this agreement together."
Seeing that they could not deny each other, Chen Guang's face became darker and darker, almost to the point that water could be squeezed out. The two of them quickly confessed in unison.
Lu Xiaoliang spoke quickly at this critical moment. "Yesterday, Old Fang and I went to Denghai and bought a batch of copyrights from the largest online literature group in our country. Aren't female novels adapted into TV dramas very popular in recent years? We thought that it would be good to cast a wide net. What if we managed to catch a big fish? They don't sell it at a high price, and we need it urgently. If it weren't for your reputation, they wouldn't have sold it. "
Fang Tianyu nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. It's just that we didn't expect that one of the authors had a grudge against you. We miscalculated."
What the two of them said made sense, but Chen Guang pointed at the two words at the end of Bai Niangzi's long list of titles. "What the hell is with the word 'strongly recommended'? I understand what you mean by strongly recommending. I've heard of a few other novels. Although I don't read female novels, they're all works of praise. But why is there the word 'strongly recommended' at the end of this lousy book? "
Fang Tianyu explained, "The corresponding company said that this book is very popular on the internet, and many readers have collected it. We had also looked for a professional evaluation agency to evaluate it, and there's no mistake."
Chen Guang slapped his forehead. Isn't this nonsense? He had helped Bai Niangzi promote his book on Weibo many times. How can he not have a lot of readers? How can he not be popular?
He never expected that he was caught in a trap of his own making. This was an ill-fated relationship!
"The other books are fine, but can we return this book?"
This was his last struggle.
Fang Tianyu looked troubled. "Because we need it urgently. We had already transferred the payment when we signed the contract yesterday. Now, the other party has also announced it. If we go back on our word, I'm afraid it won't be good."
This time, it was Lu Xiaoliang's turn to nod. "That's right. That's right. After all, the other party had helped us a lot. Their asking price is not high, and they have given us enough face. We are the only ones who have been able to purchase copyrights from them in bulk for the past two years."
Chen Guang patted his chest. He was in so much pain that he could not breathe.
"Ah, I can't take it anymore. My 21 year old heart disease is acting up."
After a while, Chen Guang finally recovered. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was getting closer, and he had to go on stage. Chen Guang was about to go on stage when he received a call from Bai Niangzi.
In front of Lu Xiaoliang and Fang Tianyu, Chen Guang answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
"Brother Guang! That was great news! My editor just called me and said that the film adaptation rights for my lousy book had been sold! "
"You also know that it is a lousy book?!"
Bai Niangzi laughed over the phone. "After all, this is my first book. I still have some self-awareness. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, that unlucky b * stard is paying for it. This is my first step on the road to becoming a famous screenwriter! First time unfamiliar, second time familiar, I can write the next book! Hehehe, Brother Guang, when I become famous, I will not forget the person who dug the well for me. I will sign the copyright with you first, and then sign the electronic contract with the website! No, I have to tell the whole class about this good news. Can you come back tonight? It's my treat! Qing Ya Xuan! You must come! You are the person I need to thank the most! "
Chen Guang's heart started to hurt again. "Get lost! You will not see me anymore! I am going to hang myself now! "
"Why?"
Chen Guang: "Because I am the unlucky b * stard you are talking about!"
Chen Guang hung up the phone and looked at the two of them.
"Boss, you scared me to death. So the author is one of us. It's okay, pfft … "
Lu Xiaoliang could not hold back and laughed.
Fang Tianyu quietly turned his face away. "I did not laugh. I really did not laugh."
His shoulders shrugged crazily, perfectly betraying his inner feelings.
Chen Guang could totally imagine what kind of tragic ridicule awaited him in class after this matter was spread out.
The fame of the great author Bai had long been spread to the whole class. Almost everyone in the class had been ravaged by his forceful promotion.
Most of the boys died tragically in the first chapter. Occasionally, a few people made it to the third chapter and finally fell under his lines.
The rich second-generation male supporting character was slapped by the female lead, and then the male supporting character started to think.
"In my entire life, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this! I had never thought that a person's slap could actually make my heart palpitate like this! She is so special … "
Here, all the boys in the class were annihilated.
The girls were slightly better. Some of them made it to the tenth chapter, and then formed a group to beat up Bai Niangzi.
This was a godly work that could poison the whole class to death.
But I actually bought his copyright!
Chen Guang suddenly felt that the future of this broken company, Tianguang Media, was bleak. His ambition was instantly destroyed.
He did not even remember how he shamelessly finished the whole ribbon-cutting event.
The impact was so great that he, who was always good at giving speeches without a script, had to take the script written by the public relations expert Lu Xiaoliang to speak on stage.
He didn't even remember what he said. In short, he shamelessly flaunted the "top" IP that Tianguang Media currently owned, boosting the confidence of the capital market in this newly established subsidiary company, and providing some substantial material for the media that had long been prepared to follow the trend and prepare their articles.
At the last moment of the ribbon-cutting, President Rao also rushed over and stood beside Chen Guang. They picked up the scissors and clicked on the red silk. It was considered as personally standing up for Tianguang Media and paving the way for the Rising Sea Fund's capital injection.
Since then, the first branch of Tianguang Agency, which had been renamed Tianguang Group, officially announced the establishment of Tianguang Media.
Tianguang Media's office was also located on the fifteenth floor of the Lida Building. Its main business was copyright operation and the packaging and output of cultural and media projects. It was similar to the brilliant starry sky culture that currently operated variety shows such as "I Am a Singer", and similar to similar cultural companies that operated films and TV series such as "The Legend of the Sword and Fairy", "Nine States", and "Grave Robber".
Its profit model was not complicated. In general, these companies would take the lead in investing in films and TV series, or in variety shows. They would share the profits from the box office, advertising income, copyright licensing fees from TV stations and video websites, and so on.
Of course, everyone knew that the so-called IPs that Tianguang Media had come up with were not as good as they looked. They were all very ordinary.
The company's signature dish was actually the reputation of the boss, Chen Guang.
Although the media's public opinion was applauding, it had only been two weeks, and only 20 million had been burned. It was really not enough to come up with a big brand. There were always people on the internet who understood the situation and started to peel the skin off Chen Guang's company on the spot.
Although Chen Guang said a lot of beautiful words on stage and sounded decent, he did not reveal whether or not he would personally participate in Tianguang Media's business.
According to previous experience, his personal brand resources should still be concentrated in the Tianguang Group. After all, he was only one person, and it was impossible for him to divide it into two people.
Then, if Tianguang Media only operated the IPs like other companies, and did not get the blessing of Chen Guang himself, with the resources that they had come up with so far, it was really not good.
This was very likely Chen Guang, who had gradually become arrogant, wanted to play.
Although the domestic cultural industry was developing well, it had already become a red sea. Countless investors were flocking into the market. Everyone was in a killing frenzy, and the competition could be said to be fierce.
Perhaps today was the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Tianguang Media, and in two months, this company would be acquired by the headquarters of the Tianguang Group. Then, it would be priced at a certain amount of money, further diluting Tang Jie Fund's shares in the Tianguang Group.
That's right, this was definitely his plan!
He was just using his left hand to cheat people of money!
Of course, this was the speculation of the people outside, but many of them felt that their guesses were not far from the truth.
However, within the Tianguang Group, especially the four middle-level King Kongs, when they saw Rao Zhenghai personally coming to the stage, they were completely certain.
This time, the boss really wanted to play it big.
As the mainstay of the internal operations of the Tianguang Group, Yue Hong did not have any intention of moving.
Su Li was a reliable person of few words, and he was deeply trusted by Chen Guang.
Although Tianguang Media claimed to be financially independent, that was only for outsiders to hear. When it came to financial matters, one should not bother with two people. Su Li also knew that he did not need to move, and the financial burden of Tianguang Media would definitely fall on him. At most, he only needed to expand the size of the finance department.
Rao Zhenghai might also want to plant someone into Tianguang Media, but with the boss's strong personality, he would not let the financial power fall into the hands of others.
However, there were two other people who were not so content.
It was the manager of the business department, Fang Tianyu, and the manager of the public relations and publicity department, Lu Xiaoliang!
Although the Tianguang Group was extremely profitable, there was only so much liquid capital in the company. Fang Tianyu, as the manager of the business department, did not have a sense of humor. Since he was working for the boss, it was definitely more comfortable to go to a branch company with a billion yuan in cash!
Tianguang Group might seem like the head office, but in fact, it revolved around the boss and served him alone. It definitely could not compare to being the head of a media company.
As for Lu Xiaoliang's motive, it was even easier to understand.
He dreamed of getting rid of his position as the manager of the public relations and publicity department. When he thought of the nickname given to him by his classmates, "Almighty Superman's Number One Male Butler", he wanted to die.
Therefore, less than half an hour after the ribbon cutting event ended, the two of them rushed into Chen Guang's office one after the other, scaring Chen Guang, who was reading the fans' private messages on Weibo.
Chen Guang quickly moved his mouse to the bottom right corner, and the computer returned to the desktop. He crossed his legs and said mysteriously, "What's up?"
Lu Xiaoliang, "Boss, there seems to be something missing from today's ribbon cutting."
Fang Tianyu, "That's right! It's very important! "
Chen Guang crossed his legs higher and higher. "Spit it out if you have something to say."
Fang Tianyu said, "The personnel appointment at Tianguang Media! My boss! "
Lu Xiaoliang took a step forward. "That's right! My most handsome and charming dear boss, you might need a CEO of Tianguang Media named Lu Xiaoliang! "
Fang Tianyu had been robbed at the crucial moment, and he was furious. "Boss! You need a CEO with an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania! "
"Damn it. So what if you ate bread overseas?!"
Lu Xiaoliang turned and glared at Fang Tianyu.
Fang Tianyu straightened his neck. "Of course I am! If I didn't have some skills, how could I have been pulled into the management team by the Tang Jie Foundation right after I graduated? When President Tang invested in you and sent me, Old Yue, and Old Su over, it cost him a lot! Boss! I promise I will make the media company flourish. I have rich experience in capital operation! It's time to show my true skills. Show yourself! My shiny MBA certificate! "
This guy had planned this for a long time. He had brought this weapon with him before he left home. He looked at Lu Xiaoliang proudly and sneered.
Tsk tsk. I might be joking around with you all the time, but that's just a ploy by me to numb my enemies!
I bet you didn't expect me to be a top student from the University of Pennsylvania!
What's the most important thing in the 21st century?
Talent!
Lu Xiaoliang was dazzled by Fang Tianyu's shiny certificate and took a step back. "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to show you my trump card."
"What trump card?!"
Fang Tianyu was shocked.
Lu Xiaoliang took out his phone and showed him a photo. "Boss, this is my 18-year-old distant cousin! She's your die-hard fan! She's super pretty and innocent. She's in her third year of high school and will be entering Gokyo University next year! I swear on my honor that she looks like Audrey Hepburn! "
Fang Tianyu's face was ashen. "D * mn! Shameless! "
I'm going to lose!
He even sold out his cousin!
Chen Guang glanced at Lu Xiaoliang's phone. He crossed his legs and almost fell over.
D * mn. If I remember correctly, the girl I saw in my Weibo private message two minutes ago was this little girl. Even now, her picture was still in close-up!
Innocent my a * s!
He sat up straight and coughed twice to calm himself down. Then he looked at the two of them. "Actually, I did consider you two in my original plan. But because of the unlucky billionaire today, I'm very dissatisfied with the two of you. I think you two are very unreliable. Although Tianguang Media was a gift from Boss Rao of Shenghai, they still had to work hard to build up their company. If we buy such copyrights in the future, what will happen to the company? "
The two of them drooped their heads and lost most of their fighting spirit.
Although they couldn't say that Denghai's online literature group was cheating them, they had good intentions and made a rare concession to sell copyrights in bulk for the first time this year.
In order to push forward this matter, the two of them had put in a lot of effort. Other than the unlucky "Billionaire Young Master," the other copyrights were not popular, but they were still reliable.
But "Billionaire Young Master" was the only one that was unorthodox!
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the two of them had asked around. It was indeed as Chen Guang had said. This book didn't live up to its name. Although it had a high click rate and was quite popular, the writing was really terrible. It wasn't suitable to be adapted into a TV series.
However, the online novel company was also kind enough to sell the popular novels together as a package.
What the hell was wrong with readers nowadays? It was obviously a terrible book, but it was so popular. Moreover, President Chen had read it himself. He was so angry. Besides being unlucky this year, what else could he say?
At this moment, Chen Guang's office door was slammed open.
"Chen Guang, I'll be your CEO!"
Before the person entered, the voice came first. It was a clear and familiar female voice.
