Huang Sibo did not expect Meng Chang to trust Boss Pei so much.
However, he felt that the risk of this matter was too high.
This was a country's election, not a child's play!
Eucratia had a population of twenty to thirty million. How could Boss Pei be sure that they would vote for a comedian to be the president with so many people participating in the vote? One had to know that most media outlets also felt that the current president's re-election was a high probability event!
However, now that he thought about it, Boss Pei must have thought of tying "Successor" and this foreign drama together when "Successor" was first broadcasted. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately limited the time so tightly.
What was the difference between this kind of binding and gamblers?
If Big Vasily was elected, he would make a huge profit and 'Successor' would take off on the spot.
However, what if Big Vasily was not elected? Then, this wouldn't even be news at all. When the time comes, it would already be the best outcome for others to use this matter to mock 'Successor'. The more likely outcome was that no one in the country would pay attention to this matter at all. Boss Pei's preparations would be completely wasted and wasted.
In other words, Boss Pei had placed the fate of 'Successor' on a country thousands of kilometers away that was completely unrelated to it.
If he won the bet, he would become a god on the spot.
If he lost the bet, all the huge investment in the early stages of 'Successor' would be wasted. Even Fei Huang Workspace's brand would have to be destroyed.
However, there was nothing he could do now.
Huang Sibo came to discuss with Meng Chang, hoping that Meng Chang would think of a way to turn the situation around.
Meng Chang thought for a long time and realized that Boss Pei had already left behind a brilliant plan.
However, the content of this brilliant plan was to continue waiting for the results of the election in Eucratia.
At the end of the day, there was nothing he could do.
"Alright, I can only choose to trust Boss Pei now."
Huang Sibo had no choice but to stand up and leave. He continued working on his own matters and waited patiently.
Huang Sibo took out his cell phone and called Cui Geng when he walked to the entrance of the marketing department.
"Have you paid attention to the election in Eucratia?" Huang Sibo asked.
Cui Geng's confused voice came from the phone. "The election in Eucratia? Is it this year? "
Huang Sibo: "It's fine."
From the looks of it, Meng Chang's guess was right. Cui Geng knew nothing about this matter. When he wrote "Successor", there were no signs of this matter at all. It was purely a coincidence.
It seemed like Boss Pei was the mastermind. He was keenly aware of the connection between these two matters and arranged for the two to be linked without anyone knowing.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be guaranteed, so he could only wait patiently.
…
After Huang Sibo left, Meng Chang began to modify his publicity plan.
Since the situation had changed, they had to adapt to the situation and adjust immediately.
Just like the previous publicity plan, when he realized that the Home Corporation wanted to ride on the popularity, he used the identity of Young Master Tian to release the video in advance. Although this directly caused the commission income to decrease sharply, the Pei Corporation's publicity method was still a huge success. Meng Chang also obtained income that far exceeded the commission through Fan Xiaodong's shorting of the Home Corporation's stocks.
It was the same principle this time.
The original plan could no longer work. The moment my review was released, Meng Chang's path was completely blocked.
However, it did not matter. Boss Pei had already pointed out a clear path.
Meng Chang decided to adjust his plan. At the end of this month, he would use Young Master Tian's video to directly refute my words!
He would take advantage of the fact that my words affected the audience on a large scale and formed a stereotype of 'Successor' to protect the last public opinion position of 'Successor' through a tit-for-tat debate. At the same time, he would wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Once the last episode of 'Successor' was broadcasted and the final results of the Eukraya election were released, it would be time for Young Master Tian to launch a full-scale counterattack with 'Successor'!
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that the comedian, Big Vasily, really won the Eukraya election.
If he was not chosen, it would be completely over.
At that time, 'Successor' would be useless. All the filming funds and publicity funds would be wasted. Young Master Tian's account would be useless. Fei Huang Workspace's reputation would not collapse, but it would definitely be affected. The most important thing was that Boss Pei's invincible golden body would be broken within Tengda.
It had to be said that this was a huge gamble.
However, Meng Chang did not care at all. After all, Boss Pei was the one who paid for the publicity funds. If Boss Pei was willing to gamble big, then so be it!
Of course, this was definitely not to encourage people to gamble brainlessly. Gambling on biss was a must. Under any circumstances, a gambler's mentality was not good. There was only one outcome if one foolishly gambled. That was to ruin one's family and live a life worse than death.
However, Boss Pei's huge gamble obviously originated from his analysis of social reality, his insight into human nature, and his prediction of what would happen in the future.
Just like venture capital and buying stocks, one did not place their hopes on illusory probabilities and luck. Instead, they built it on one's own logical judgment.
Boss Pei was very stable when he should be stable. He strategized and did not make any mistakes. However, he did not hesitate when he needed to take risks.
Meng Chang felt that it did not matter even if the Young Master Tian account was useless. In any case, he did not invest anything into this account. It was just a derivative of the Pei Consortium's publicity method.
Next, Meng Chang would invest a lot of money into the second round of publicity around this publicity plan so that the discussion of 'Successor' would be higher and more popular.
In other words, he would put more chips on the table.
If he won, he would earn more. If he lost, he would lose more.
After deciding on the plan, Meng Chang was prepared to be cut off at the waist this month.
Originally, the popularity of 'Successor' was extremely low. Its ratings had plummeted under the attack of Qian Mou's black manuscript. Meng Chang could get a high commission without doing anything.
On the other hand, if he used Young Master Tian's identity to post a video and oppose Qian Mou, the popularity of 'Successor' would definitely increase. Its reputation might also increase slightly.
Although it would only explode in popularity in the middle of the next month, the commission for this month would definitely not be much.
Meng Chang's heart ached. However, for the success of the Pei Consortium's publicity method, he had to give up these commissions like last time.
"Is there any way to earn some extra money like the last time?"
Ever since he tasted the sweetness from Fan Xiaodong the last time, Meng Chang could not stop himself. He did not even look at commissions anymore.
After all, it was a waste of resources to only use a dragon-slaying technique like the Pei Consortium's publicity method to earn some commissions.
However, this time, it had nothing to do with the company after all. It was impossible to short the stock.
Meng Chang thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he had an idea. He searched the internet for the odds of the Eukraya election and realized that Big Vasily's odds were actually more than 5!
Of course, this was definitely illegal in the country. Meng Chang definitely did not dare to mess around.
However, Fan Xiaodong was overseas. Under the local law, it was legal.
Meng Chang immediately called Fan Xiaodong.
"Xiaodong, how much money do you have now?" Meng Chang asked.
Fan Xiaodong roughly estimated and said, "About 200,000 US dollars."
Meng Chang paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. "If you agree, I want to bet all this money on Big Vasily from Eukraya."
Fan Xiaodong was dumbfounded. "What do I have to disagree with? This is your money. You can use it however you want."
"However …"
"Eukraya? Who is Big Vasily? Why don't I understand what you're saying at all? "
Meng Chang said, "Go and check it out yourself."
Fan Xiaodong was silent for a while. Then, he said in shock, "Election? You want to bet on this person becoming the president of Eukraya? Brother, are you crazy? "
"This person is an actor. He came to participate in the election to be funny. The odds of 5 points might look tempting, but it's impossible. So what if the odds are high? What you're doing is suicide! "
"That's 200,000 US dollars!"
"Or did you get some news from Tengda's internal department …"
"That's not right either … Tengda is just an ordinary company. How can it control the Eukraya election …"
Meng Chang's actions completely confused Fan Xiaodong.
Fan Xiaodong was indeed convinced about the matter with Home Corporation previously.
However, that was a commercial act after all. It was equivalent to Boss Pei setting a trap for Home Corporation through Slow Movement Studio.
Fan Xiaodong believed that Boss Pei could control such things.
However, what was going on with the Eukraya election? It was impossible to even obtain inside information, let alone affect it, right?
This depended on the final voting results. Everyone's judgment could only be said to be a prediction. It might be accurate or not. There were too many uncontrollable factors. There was no way to ensure that the prediction was accurate.
It was too crazy to throw 200,000 US dollars in at once.
Meng Chang was very determined. "I can't explain too much, but since I want to do this, I must have a basis."
"If I really fail, it would just be 200,000 US dollars going down the drain. I'll just pretend that nothing happened with Home Corporation. It's just a worldly possession. I won't feel the pinch even if I lose it."
"However, if I succeed, I'll be able to pay off all my debts and even have a surplus!"
"If I don't take a gamble now, I won't have such a chance again in the future."
Meng Chang felt that Boss Pei dared to bet so many things, including the filming and publicity funds for Successor, and even Fei Huang Workspace's reputation. Wouldn't Boss Pei lose more than him if he failed?
What was 200,000 US dollars compared to Boss Pei's investment?
What's more, Meng Chang was very passionate about taking risks. He had the mentality of a gambler. It would have been fine if he did not know about this opportunity, but he would definitely not let it go now that he knew.
Boss Pei said that he was not confident. That must be a certain amount of humility. No matter what, it was worth a try.
Fan Xiaodong fell silent, obviously completely shocked by Meng Chang.
He even began to suspect Tengda's background. He wondered if Meng Chang was working for Tengda or if he had joined some strange mysterious organization …
After a long time, Fan Xiaodong said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll also invest 50,000 yuan symbolically. If it really succeeds, we'll make a huge profit. "

PS. The effects of the show in the book were just for fun. It was just like the short selling previously. No one should really take it seriously. The world was made up, and the time and place were all fictitious … One more thing. Gambling on dogs, biss, and spinach are illegal in China. Don't touch such things. Don't even try to understand them. If you touch them, you will only go bankrupt. Remember this.
