Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters undercurrent
Chairman Shang sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, you are also a celebrity, I won't hide it from you. Director Hu is really playing the piano randomly, and I'm going to be angry with him!"
Only then did Liu Yan realize that Chairman Shang's anger was all aimed at Director Hu.
"Chairman Shang, as an outsider and sponsor, I am not qualified to inquire about the internal affairs of the organizing committee, but I still want to know what we, Shengda Sports, need to do in order to get the most prominent advertising space in the open competition?"
Chairman Shang thought about it and replied: "I don't hide this standard from you. We have to consider many aspects. There are some old sports companies, and we really need to consider it. Because China's sports industry is booming, these companies have made contributions."
Liu Yan understood what he said, and he had already expressed it very realistically, and Liu Yan could not force it.
"I understand Chairman Shang. What you mean is to comprehensively consider the strength and influence of the sponsor. I understand it. But Director Hu directly told me in the morning that Shengda Sports is not qualified to be the number one sponsor. I am very dissatisfied with his words." Liu Yan said seriously.
"Since Mr. Liu came to tell me on his own initiative, I will tell you the truth. Director Hu's words are basically true, but his way of speaking is very wrong. I just called him and criticized him." Director Shang said angrily.
Liu Yan probably understood what happened between Chairman Shang and Director Hu. As a subordinate, Director Hu was actually implementing Chairman Shang's meaning, but his way of speaking and doing things offended too many people, so Chairman Shang was very dissatisfied.
"Chairman Shang, I don't know what you mean by influence, but I, Liu Yan, think that I have also contributed to the country. Moreover, Shengda Sports has made foreign exchange for the country in the recent stage and has made the reputation of national brands. These contributions are not small. I think you should do things with a development perspective." Liu Yan's words were loud and clear. While refuting for himself, he also vaguely pointed out the bias of the organizing committee's work.
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Chairman Shang lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "You are right, I will consider it. If there is a problem with Director Hu's words, I will talk to him. Please rest assured Mr. Liu."
Seeing that he had already reached this level, Liu Yan stood up and said, "Chairman Shang, I was reckless today and I was disturbed. I haven't attended school for a few years. If what I said was unpleasant, I hope you will forgive me."
Chairman Shang was stunned and asked, "Mr. Liu is modest. Have you really not been to school for a few years? But I think you speak very well and don't look like a rude person."
Liu Yan smiled: "I'm just a rough man, but later I read some books to make up for my shortcomings. Chairman Shang laughed."
Chairman Shang also stood up, shook hands with Liu Yan on his own initiative, and said, "Mr. Liu is too modest. Your contribution to China is obvious to all. Shengda Sports has emerged this year. We have all learned that it is a sudden rise. Don't worry, we will consider it comprehensively."
The two exchanged a few more greetings, and Chairman Shang sent Liu Yan out of the office and waved goodbye.
The security guard sent Liu Yan outside the gate and whispered: "Mr. Liu, you are so awesome. I have been worried about you, afraid that Chairman Shang will lose his temper. Unexpectedly, he actually smiled and sent you out in person. You are so proud of your face!"
Liu Yan shook his head, not knowing how to explain to him, and took the initiative to say, "Come on, let's take a photo, thank you for your reminder."
The security guard happily took out his cell phone and took a few selfies with Liu Yan. Liu Yan cooperated very well and satisfied the wish of a security guard.
After the organizing committee came out, Liu Yan decided to increase his investment from 2 million to 5 million. At the same time, he also put forward the request of Shengda Sports, that is, to place Shengda Sports billboards on each stadium, and the words Shengda Sports should be written behind each athlete's clothes.
Liu Yan's request caused an uproar, and many athletes expressed their dissatisfaction.
At the bidding meeting of the organizing committee, Director Hu invited several major sponsors to participate, and Shengda Sports was also among them, and the other ones are well-known sports brands in China.
Among them, Shengwei Sports is a brand in Northeast China, ranking among the top three in scale in China. The boss’s surname is Chen and has dealt with Liu Yan.
Mr. Chen's son likes to practice martial arts and participated in the northern competition hosted by Liu Yan. At that time, Mr. Chen used increasing investment as bait to help Liu Yan help his son enter the finals, but was rejected by Liu Yan at that time.
The purpose of Liu Yan hosting the competition is to select martial arts seedlings fairly and justly, cultivate them, and become a pillar of the country.
Later, Shi Kuan, Wu Bo, and Sui Dongliang were all the best selected in that national competition.
Mr. Chen was very angry at Liu Yan's behavior and held a grudge. He always held back his energy to take revenge on Liu Yan.
But later he saw that Liu Yan's career was soaring and he made more and more contributions to the country, so Mr. Chen cut off this idea. Only then did he realize that Liu Yan's strength was much stronger than him and was not of the same level at all.
This time, Shengwei Sports came to Nanhai City and planned to become the number one sponsor. Only then did Mr. Chen realize that the boss of Shengda Sports was actually Liu Yan, and his revengeful heart was ready to move again.
Therefore, at this bidding conference, Mr. Chen of Shengwei Sports was in a dilemma with Liu Yan everywhere, and the conflicts continued to escalate. The people from the organizing committee and other sports brands were shocked.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Hu proposed the first bidding project, which was the bidding for advertising spaces in the field.
A sports product was the first to stand up and raised the sign and said it would invest 600,000 yuan. Before he could sit down, Liu Yan's sign was raised and he shouted a million yuan.
The audience was in an uproar. The price of this advertising space was generally around 800,000. Liu Yan was the second time to raise the sign and shouted one million. This was a momentum of determination to win.
Director Hu was surprised by Liu Yan's signing. Although Shengda Sports has been in the limelight recently, it has invested a lot of money before, and now it has taken out another million to spend advertising space. This is too ruthless, and this is the first bidding project.
The bidder held a small hammer in his hand, looked around the audience and asked, "Is there any bidding price? One million every time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Chen of Shengwei Sports raised the sign and shouted loudly: "One million and one hundred thousand!"
The audience was in an uproar again, and Liu Yan turned to look at Mr. Chen. He actually almost forgot about the incident, but when he and Mr. Chen looked at each other, he suddenly remembered it.
Mr. Chen's eyes were too long, as if he was saying: You kid have today? Let's see how I deal with you today!
The focus of the audience was on Liu Yan and Mr. Chen. The price had exceeded everyone's expectations, so everyone gave up. Now it depends on who can laugh to the end of Shengda Sports and Shengwei Sports. The staff raised the small hammer again and shouted: "Now Shengwei Sports invested 1.1 million! One million for the first time..."
Liu Yan raised his sign again and shouted: "I will pay one million and two million!"
"The fight starts, the fight starts! What's going on with these two companies? Are you competing?" The bosses of the other companies whispered, wondering why Liu Yan and Mr. Chen raised prices to each other.
"One and three hundred thousand!" Mr. Chen raised his sign again. In fact, he was already a little panicked. Although his reputation and wealth were great, Shengda Sports was a rising star. He wanted to scare Liu Yan, but it seemed that it would not work.
Sure enough, Liu Yan quickly raised his sign again and shouted "One.5 million"!
At this moment, Mr. Chen was a little hesitant. In the face of his strength, Liu Yan not only did not breathe, but instead increased the bidding efforts. This was the first bid, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing that Mr. Chen did not raise the sign, the staff slowly shouted: "Shengda Sports bid 1.5 million! One million and one million and two million and two million..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Mr. Chen again and found that Mr. Chen was holding the sign tightly, but did not lift it up.
"Three times one million and a half million, the deal!" As the staff's small hammer fell, the first bid was over, and Liu Yan got the first advertising space in the field, and other companies could only advertise on the corners.
Liu Yan deliberately gave up a few of the following projects, but as long as he wanted to fight for it, he raised his bid to the end. In the eyes of others, his money was nothing but money, just a number.
Except for the final bidding event between Mr. Chen and Liu Yan, he did not compete with Liu Yan for other bidding projects. He sat there with a pale face and occasionally raised the signs.
It can be said that at this bidding conference, Liu Yan's Shengda Sports' limelight completely overshadowed Shengwei Sports, and Mr. Chen was simply humiliating himself.
After the bidding meeting, the organizing committee had a dispute over the athletes' clothing. For athletes, they were only willing to wear the brands they endorsed and did not agree with the words of other brands printed on it, so Liu Yan's request was boycotted by most athletes.
After Liu Yan learned about the news, he did not respond immediately, but instead joined the tennis players through Adi Sports Company.
This is part of Liu Yan's plan. One of the projects jointly developed by Adi and Shengda Sports is that athletes endorsed by both parties must cooperate in events sponsored by each other.
For example, in this competition held in China, athletes who endorsed Adi products should compromise and cooperate with Shengda Sports' requirements, while in competitions held in Europe, Chinese athletes who endorsed Shengda Sports should also cooperate with Adi's requirements.
This cooperation proposal is actually not fair to Adi, because Adi's athletes are all world-class stars, so Adi's board of directors did not agree to sign a cooperation agreement with Shengda Sports.
However, since we have cooperated, we must implement it according to the agreement. In fact, this is also the potential of Chairman Adi who has taken a fancy to Liu Yan and Huaxia Sports. He believes that Huaxia Sports talents will become an important force in the world sports world in a few years!
These athletes received a notice from Adi’s headquarters, and then they realized that Shengda Sports is quite famous, so they all agreed to Liu Yan’s request!
