Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: Snatching LeTV's Opportunity, Copyright Layout!

"A phone endorser?"

Wang Yi fell into deep thought.

Unlike Meiyou, which targets only women, Xingyi Phone's user base is for both men and women.

For the female demographic, Xingyi Phone has the backing of 70 million Meiyou users, so not needing an endorser is fine.

As of November 7th, the Meiyou app's user base officially surpassed the 70 million mark!

It can be said that it is already a mature brand, and even without an endorser, Xingyi Phone can sell well among young women.

As for the male demographic... to be honest, whether there's an endorsement or not, there isn't much difference.

Women tend to be more emotional, while men tend to be more rational.

Not many men would buy a phone just because of an endorser.

Instead, most look at the phone's appearance design, performance configuration, and user experience—these tangible things.

If the phone isn't powerful enough, even inviting a superstar to endorse it won't convince many male users to buy it.

But if the phone is powerful, many men will buy it even without an endorsement.

More importantly, if a celebrity is hired and then has a scandal, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even celebrities who didn't have scandals in his previous life doesn't mean they don't have negative rumors.

Perhaps it was good luck in his previous life, or perhaps public relations bought out trending topics to suppress them.

But in this life, under the butterfly effect, changes might not be avoided.

Simplest of all, if Wang Yi hired an endorser, rival companies wanting to attack Xingyi Technology and Xingyi Phone would definitely start with the endorser.

As long as negative rumors about the endorser are uncovered, it's over.

The entertainment industry is a big dye vat; artists with zero negative rumors are exceedingly rare.

Who can guarantee that their idol will never have a mishap?

Will never have a scandal?

Wang Yi didn't believe it.

He immediately waved his hand:

"Xingyi Phone won't hire an endorser. With the brand well-known and the product powerful, not having an endorser is fine."

Jian Ziyan nodded:

"That makes sense. After all, iPhone, Tesla, and Taobao have never hired endorsers. iPhone relied on Old Man Qiao in the past, and now it's fine without an endorser. Tesla and Taobao are both endorsed by Brother Ma himself."

As she spoke, Jian Ziyan looked at Wang Yi:

"Chairman, you are young and accomplished, starting from scratch as a university student to become a billionaire, building the Meiyou empire, and achieving a business legend! And you're so handsome, the nation's heartthrob for countless young women. Why do you need an endorser? You are the best endorser!"

As she spoke, Jian Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered, looking at Wang Yi with a hint of longing.

Everyone loves beauty, and Jian Ziyan isn't blind; she knew she had no chance just by seeing Song Sining.

Even though she was also a campus beauty, she was still a notch below Song Sining.

There was no denying it; Song Sining was unfairly beautiful; even Jian Ziyan, as a woman, liked her!

Wang Yi was speechless: "..."

But what Jian Ziyan said was not without reason.

Now many people buy Meiyou cosmetics, Meiyou clothing, and Meiyou magazines because of him!

Especially after Wang Yi's first public appearance at the Meiyou Science Park groundbreaking ceremony, many female fans had lost their minds...

As long as they had money, and as long as Wang Yi released new products, they would just buy, buy, buy, regardless of whether they needed them.

Similarly, if Wang Yi himself endorsed Xingyi Phone, it would sell well among the emotional female demographic, which would not be a problem.

As for the male demographic, they are more rational, focusing more on cost-effectiveness and configuration.

In these aspects, Xingyi Phone has done its best, crushing its competitors.

In terms of product power, even compared to the iPhone 4s, Xingyi Phone could hold its own, or even be superior.

Even if the 4s system was better, Xingyi Phone's configuration, large screen, high-resolution display, appearance, texture, and anti-freeze battery were all crushing advantages.

Don't talk about small screens being easy to use; as a reborn person, Wang Yi knew that large screens were the trend!

Once you used a 4.3-inch screen, you wouldn't even consider a 3.5-inch one.

After all, in the future, even 5.0 inches would be considered a small screen.

"We won't hire an endorser. When Xingyi Phone is released, I will personally appear!"

Wang Yi said, then changed the subject:

"At that time, we'll put more effort into marketing, do more ground promotions, advertising, and even title sponsorship for hit TV dramas and variety shows!"

Not hiring an endorser doesn't mean not marketing or advertising.

On the contrary, Wang Yi wanted to advertise on a large scale, even sponsoring TV dramas and variety shows!

Otherwise, no matter how good Xingyi Phone was, it wouldn't be able to sell out completely.

Even good wine needs a good advertisement.

Not everyone pays attention to the tech industry, Xingyi Phone, or Meiyou.

On the contrary, with pervasive advertising, a thousand-yuan phone could sell for three thousand and still sell out, making huge profits!

In his previous life, the two factories could sell Redmi-level configurations for three to four thousand yuan and still sell very well, all thanks to overwhelming marketing and variety show sponsorships!

This made women who love watching dramas and variety shows treat them as major brands.

What a thousand-yuan phone processor?

What low configuration?

Still, buy, buy, buy!

After all, their annual advertising expenses were billions or even tens of billions, so the marketing effect was naturally good, selling better and earning more than Xiaomi.

After all, Xiaomi's cost was 1500, selling for 1999, a profit of 500.

The sister factory's cost of 799, selling for 2999, 3999, how could they not make huge profits?

Even after deducting advertising fees and commissions for sales assistants, they still made huge profits!

This kind of profit would make even capitalists envious.

However, Wang Yi had more conscience and wouldn't sell a thousand-yuan phone at a high price.

But promotion must be done!

And promotion should start now, as Xingyi Phone is launching next month, so promoting it in advance is perfectly fine.

The most effective methods are naturally sponsoring variety shows and hit TV dramas.

Especially variety shows that air weekly, they are most effective for new brands.

In his previous life, the two factories gained massive popularity through exclusive variety show sponsorships, selling over 70 million units a year even with high prices and low configurations, making Lei Jun grind his back teeth in envy!

Similarly, Wang Yi could also make a move.

Moreover, variety show sponsorship fees in 2011 were still very cheap, not as terrifying as years later.

For example, the hottest show, "Happy Camp," had an exclusive title sponsorship fee of 350 million in his previous life's 2015, and 700 million in 2016.

However, in 2011, the exclusive annual title sponsorship fee for "Happy Camp" only required 113.68 million yuan!

On the other hand, "Day Day Up" required 130 million yuan for its overall title sponsorship, becoming the "bid king"!

Given "Happy Camp's" ratings and user base, investing 113.68 million yuan for a one-year sponsorship could easily lead to Xingyi Phone selling at least 5 million more units and earning an additional 15 billion yuan throughout the year!

This deal is absolutely worth it!

If he secured the exclusive annual title sponsorship for "Happy Camp" next year, let alone 110 million, even 130 million would be a good deal!

By then, Xingyi Phone's sales would be completely worry-free; an additional 5 million units in annual sales is a conservative estimate!

Hearing this, Wang Yi looked directly at Jian Ziyan:

"Ziyan, contact Mango TV immediately. Actually, never mind, I'll just call the station director directly!"

As he spoke, Wang Yi dialed Xu Cui's number:

"Cui-jie, do you have the contact information for the director of Mango TV? I need to talk to them about something."

"Yes, Chairman Wang, please wait a moment, I'll send it to you."

"Okay, thank you."

Soon, the phone number was sent, and Wang Yi dialed it directly:

"Hello, may I ask who this is?"

"Hello Director Zhang, this is Wang Yi from Xingyi Technology."

"Xingyi Technology... Chairman Wang! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

Director Zhang's eyes lit up, joy spreading across his face.

The patron has arrived!

"Director Zhang, you're too polite. It's like this, I was wondering if the title sponsorship for 'Happy Camp' next year has been sold?"

Director Zhang smiled:

"Not yet. In three days, the station will hold a golden resource bidding conference. Chairman Wang, you're welcome to participate!"

With one more patron, the title sponsorship fee might sell for even more!

'Good that it hasn't been sold!'

Wang Yi smiled slightly:

"Let's skip the bidding and all that. How about Director Zhang names a price? If the price is right, Xingyi Technology will take it directly!"

"Take it directly!"

Director Zhang was a bit tempted.

Current title sponsorships weren't easy to sell, and competition among variety shows was fierce.

Moreover, there were only two buyers, O and V, both being big bosses, so they wouldn't truly compete to the death.

Mostly, both parties would agree, one bidding for "Happy Camp" and the other for "Day Day Up."

As a result, the exclusive annual title sponsorship for "Happy Camp" was only 110 million, and "Day Day Up" was only 130 million!

That's right, "Day Day Up" has been more popular than "Happy Camp" in recent years!

Next year's prices wouldn't increase much either.

After all, there are many hit variety shows currently, and Su Daqiang, Dragon TV, and Blue TV are all strong competitors.

Especially "The Voice," which will be introduced from abroad next year, is highly anticipated.

This directly made it difficult for "Happy Camp" and "Day Day Up" to sell at high prices.

But if Wang Yi, this third party, were to join the competition, the price might just go up.

If "Happy Camp" was sold first at a relatively high price, letting O and V compete for the remaining "Day Day Up."

Like two women vying for one man, "Day Day Up" could also fetch a high price!

He naturally welcomed this.

Director Zhang was very shrewd, immediately seeing through the vested interests, but he laughed and said:

"Chairman Wang, isn't this against the rules?"

Wang Yi didn't answer; instead, he directly said:

"Director Zhang, the hottest show right now is 'Day Day Up,' with an endorsement fee of 130 million this year, and 'Happy Camp' at 110 million.

Here's what I propose: I'll give you 130 million for the exclusive annual endorsement of 'Happy Camp' next year. As for 'Day Day Up,' whether you can sell it for 150 million or 170 million, that's entirely up to your methods, Director Zhang!"

"This..."

Director Zhang was tempted.

Without Wang Yi, "Happy Camp" would be at most 130 million, and "Day Day Up" at most 150 million.

It might even sell for less than that price.

There were many variety shows in 2011, and a 100 million sponsorship fee was already sky-high!

If "Happy Camp" was sold first, letting O and V compete for the remaining "Day Day Up," then "Day Day Up" had a chance to reach 170 million, or even 190 million!

Director Zhang was tempted!

But he still didn't agree directly, instead wanting a higher price:

"Chairman Wang, this isn't according to the rules."

Wang Yi smiled slightly:

"No problem. If Director Zhang is unwilling, we can look at other channels, or 'The Voice.' As a popular foreign variety show being introduced, 'The Voice' should be next year's number one in viewership. We all know this. Plus, the first season offers great value for money!"

Director Zhang fell silent; what Wang Yi said was all true.

"Happy Camp" was stable, but it didn't have much room for improvement anymore.

After so many years, it was even surpassed by the newcomer "Day Day Up."

And "The Voice" was a mature variety show introduced from abroad, already popular overseas, so it was bound to be popular when brought in.

Moreover, the mentors' qualifications were undeniable, and their future was boundless; everyone in the industry knew this.

"Chairman Wang, don't be in a hurry, this can be discussed, but can the price be raised a bit more? For example, 150 million?"

Director Zhang smiled.

"150 million is too high; 130 million is already a very suitable price,"

Wang Yi sighed:

"However, since the director has spoken, I'll make a concession: two years, 300 million! I'll secure the exclusive endorsement for 'Happy Camp' for 2012 and 2013!"

"This..."

Director Zhang hesitated.

300 million for two years, averaging 150 million a year, selling it all at once was quite a good deal.

More importantly, once "Happy Camp" was sold, the remaining "Day Day Up" could fetch a high price.

After all, if "Happy Camp" sold for 150 million, wouldn't "Day Day Up" go for 170 million? Or even 190 million?

It was like boosting the value of "Day Day Up."

A bargain, absolutely a bargain!

More importantly, if he refused, and Wang Yi went to other platforms to sponsor "The Voice," then the remaining two major variety shows would still have to be sold to O and V, both big bosses, so there wouldn't be a fierce struggle.

By then, O and V would have negotiated, one for each, and still wouldn't sell for a high price.

Still 130 million for one, 150 million for the other, only 280 million a year.

It would be better to first sell "Happy Camp" to Wang Yi for 150 million, and then sell the remaining "Day Day Up" at a high price, which would start at 150 million + 170 million, totaling at least 320 million, or even 330 million!

The latter earned forty to fifty million more than the former!

Completely irresistible!

"Okay, Chairman Wang, as you said, 300 million for two years! Sold!"

Director Zhang made an immediate decision.

"Director is wise. Then I'll go to the station to sign the contract tomorrow,"

Wang Yi smiled.

"Welcome!"

The director also beamed with joy.

For years, he had been suffering from O and V's price suppression.

Wang Yi's entry, first securing "Happy Camp" with a 40 million premium, meant Mango TV could earn more.

300 million for two years of exclusive title sponsorship was also a good deal for Wang Yi.

It could be said that everyone was happy.

The only tragedy was for O and V, who would have to spend a lot more money to snatch the remaining "Day Day Up."

After the call ended, Jian Ziyan couldn't help but ask:

"Chairman, isn't 'The Voice' the hottest show? Why aren't we sponsoring 'The Voice'?"

Wang Yi waved his hand:

"'The Voice' has only just been introduced. With preparation and production, it won't air until the second half of the year, and we can't wait that long."

"Oh."

Jian Ziyan nodded.

"However, if the price is right for 'The Voice' sponsorship, it can also be considered!"

Wang Yi said with a smile.

O and V sponsor three to five variety shows a year, with sponsorship fees in the billions, which is how they achieve annual sales of seventy to eighty million units.

Next year, besides "Happy Camp," sponsoring "The Voice" could be considered in the second half of the year.

Wang Yi remembered that "The Voice" aired during the summer, from July to September.

The title sponsorship fee for the first season was 60 million!

It seemed cheap, but when calculated, it was much more expensive than "Happy Camp."

After all, "Happy Camp" aired weekly for a year, while "The Voice" only aired for two months.

Within those two months, "The Voice" was hotter than "Happy Camp," but after two months, it couldn't be compared.

However, "The Voice" indeed became a huge hit as soon as it aired, with the second season's title sponsorship fee reaching 210 million the following year.

If the price was right, exclusive title sponsorship for the first season could be considered, a matter of fifty to sixty million.

If the price was too high, then it wouldn't matter.

After all, two years of "Happy Camp" was enough to establish Xingyi Phone's brand.

In his previous life, "Happy Camp's" sponsorship fees from 2011 to 2014 were very low, only rising to 350 million in 2015, and 700 million in 2016...

However, Mango TV's new variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" in the second half of 2013, could be a good opportunity to snatch a deal.

Wang Yi remembered that this variety show was not initially favored, and the first season's title sponsorship fee was only 28 million, taken by 999 Ganmaoling.

That's right, only 28 million!

Unexpectedly, it became incredibly popular after airing, with viewership ratings consistently number one, making 999 a huge winner.

The title sponsorship fee for the second season in 2014 reached 310 million, crushing "Happy Camp" and "Day Day Up."

By then, with his cooperation with Mango TV, securing "Where Are We Going, Dad?" early at a low price would be no problem.

However, relying solely on variety shows isn't reliable; TV drama sponsorships also need to be pursued!

"Ziyan, which is the hottest upcoming TV drama about to air?"

"'Empresses in the Palace'!"

Jian Ziyan was incredibly excited:

"It will air on local channels on November 17th. It's already popular before even being broadcast; many people are waiting for it!"

"Right, 'Empresses in the Palace'!"

Wang Yi's eyes lit up.

The popularity of this drama was simply terrifying, even more so than "Startling by Each Step"!

"It's airing soon, so title sponsorship is too late, but advertising sponsorship should still be possible. After all, it's a local channel, and not many brands are willing to sponsor."

"Wow, are we going to sponsor 'Empresses in the Palace'?"

Jian Ziyan beamed with joy, immediately pulling out her phone to search for information on "Empresses in the Palace":

"Chairman, the distributor is the Imperial Capital Television Arts Center!"

"It's in the Imperial Capital!"

Wang Yi smiled:

"Ziyan, you go there tomorrow and discuss the advertising sponsorship."

"Okay, Chairman."

"Also, discuss buying out the online streaming rights and drive the price down hard."

Wang Yi remembered that in his previous life, LeTV bought the exclusive online streaming rights for "Empresses in the Palace" for 20 million for six years, earning over 100 million in advertising revenue in just one year!

But who would have thought that a few years later, online streaming exploded, piracy was cracked down on, and for the next ten-plus years, LeTV made a fortune from "Empresses in the Palace."

However, Wang Yi wouldn't let this immense fortune slip away.

However, just in case, Wang Yi decided to go now.

After all, he had to go to Nanhhu tomorrow to sign a contract with Mango TV.

If the copyright for "Empresses in the Palace" was bought by LeTV in these few days, Wang Yi would have nowhere to cry.

"Forget it, Ziyan, it's still early, let's just go directly!"

"Okay!"

Wu Shuang drove directly to the Imperial Capital Television Arts Center.

On the way, Jian Ziyan called the other party:

"Hello, is this the Imperial Capital Television Arts Center?"

"Yes, how can I help you?"

replied the voice of customer service representative Xiao Lan from the other end of the line.

"It's like this, our Chairman Wang from Xingyi Technology wants to discuss advertising sponsorship for 'Empresses in the Palace' with the Arts Center."

"Chairman Wang, is that Chairman Wang from Meiyou Technology?"

Xiao Lan's voice was full of excitement.

Jian Ziyan looked at Wang Yi with a half-smile and replied,

"Yes."

Xiao Lan beamed with joy:

"Welcome, Chairman Wang. When will you be arriving? I'll make an appointment for you!"

"We're on our way, about half an hour away."

"Okay, I'll go find Director Zheng right away. He happens to be at the center today. Chairman Wang can then have a direct meeting with Director Zheng."

"Director Zheng? Is that Director Zheng from 'Empresses in the Palace'?"

"Yes, he is both the director of 'Empresses in the Palace' and the director of the Imperial Capital Television Arts Center!"

Xiao Lan explained.

Jian Ziyan beamed with joy:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's all part of my job!"

After the call, Jian Ziyan winked at Wang Yi:

"See, another one of your fangirls, directly scheduling an appointment with Director Zheng! If it were anyone else, they'd just arrange someone to meet you casually. To see Director Zheng, you'd need to book a week in advance. After all, Director Zheng isn't just a big director; he's also a powerful figure at the Imperial Capital Television Arts Center!"

Wang Yi flicked Jian Ziyan's forehead:

"You still don't know that Director Zheng is also the president of the Xia Nation Directors' Association!"

"What! That amazing!"

Jian Ziyan was stunned.

Wang Yi chuckled:

"Not only is Director Zheng amazing, but his wife, Screenwriter Wang, is not only a famous writer but also a top screenwriter! The two of them, combining their talents, are invincible. Screenwriter Wang was responsible for the script of 'Empresses in the Palace,' and Director Zheng directed it."

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

Jian Ziyan praised endlessly.

Wang Yi, however, was somewhat moved.

Currently, Meiyou Novels had acquired the copyrights to many popular novels, such as "Nirvana in Fire."

There were also many high-quality IP works self-produced by Meiyou Novels, such as "Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation," and others.

All of them could be adapted into films and television, made into TV series, or animated!

Currently, Wang Yi had IPs and money, only lacking a good screenwriter + director team!

Originally, Wang Yi had planned to wait for General Manager Hou from Daylight Entertainment to come to him, but General Manager Hou hadn't come to him yet.

Now it seemed that Director Zheng + Writer Wang was also a very good lineup.

Director Zheng not only directed "Empresses in the Palace" and "Golden Marriage," but a few years later in his previous life, he also directed "Red Sorghum," "The Legend of Mi Yue"...

These classic hit TV dramas, which achieved both critical acclaim and high viewership, were all from their hands.

If he took these two great generals under his wing, Xingyi Film and Television Company would be complete.

Wang Yi as producer, providing IP and funding, Writer Wang responsible for adaptation, and Director Zheng directing—absolutely invincible.

But this level of existence would be difficult to control, and they certainly had their own company.

That's Hua'er Pictures!

Director Zheng and Screenwriter Wang were both management at Hua'er Pictures.

The producers of "Golden Marriage" and "Empresses in the Palace" were both Hua'er Pictures, and the copyrights also belonged to Hua'er Pictures.

In his previous life, LeTV bought the exclusive online streaming rights for "Empresses in the Palace" for 20 million for six years, and in 2013, it invested 900 million to wholly acquire Hua'er Pictures.

From then on, Hua'er Pictures became a subsidiary of LeTV, and Hua'er Pictures' accumulated film and television copyrights over the years, such as "Empresses in the Palace," completely belonged to LeTV, instantly filling LeTV.com's resource gaps!

This allowed LeTV to compete with Tencent, iQiyi, and Youku.

Of course, Director Zheng and Screenwriter Wang were also acquired by LeTV as part of the package.

Several subsequent major productions were also exclusively streamed on LeTV, with copyrights belonging to LeTV.

It wasn't until LeTV phones faded in 2016 that LeTV went from prosperity to decline.

In 2017, LeTV was plagued by debt, and Old Jia went to the US to build cars, completely collapsing, only then did it distribute these copyrights to other platforms.

For example, "Empresses in the Palace" was distributed to Youku at the end of 2017!

Even though LeTV had collapsed, its employees lived well and comfortably thanks to the copyrights of hit dramas like "Empresses in the Palace."

Especially "Empresses in the Palace," LeTV bought it for 20 million and earned at least 400 million during its six-year exclusive broadcast from 2011-2017!

Even after more than ten years of airing, LeTV still had over ten million in broadcasting revenue each year.

And Youku, broadcasting "Empresses in the Palace," earned even more in advertising revenue each year.

In other words, even ten years later, distribution rights + advertising revenue would exceed 30 million annually.

As for how much money "Empresses in the Palace" made in total, from start to finish?

No one knows, but LeTV's 900 million acquisition of Hua'er Pictures was recouped by "Empresses in the Palace" alone!

It was also considered one of Old Jia's wisest investments, providing a happy guarantee for LeTV employees.

But this time, Wang Yi was going to secure the copyright for "Empresses in the Palace."

Wang Yi even wondered if he should directly invest in acquiring Hua'er Pictures.

This way, he would not only acquire the copyright for "Empresses in the Palace" but also the golden combination of Director Zheng + Screenwriter Wang, who could then go on to produce blockbusters like "Nirvana in Fire."

More importantly, there were Hua'er Pictures' numerous current film and television copyrights!

Wang Yi, in making Xingyi Phones and focusing on smart TVs and tablets in the next year or two, would need film and television resources!

Without any film and television resources, who would buy your TV?

For example, Xiaomi TV in his previous life was repeatedly sued by platforms like SARFT and LeTV.

Finally, Lei Jun had to propose a plan to spend tens of billions to acquire content resources!

Not only did it invest in Youku.

In 2015, Xiaomi also invested 1.8 billion yuan in iQiyi, becoming its second-largest shareholder, and Xiaomi TV thus gained iQiyi's film and television resources, which finally solved its problems.

Similarly, if Wang Yi wanted to make smart TVs, he also had to solve the problem of film and television resources.

Either spend billions to buy resources like Xiaomi.

Or, like LeTV, build its own film and television platform, expanding its film and television resources by acquiring Hua'er Pictures.

The Xiaomi model not only requires a huge amount of money, but subsequent advertising revenue and membership revenue also have to be shared with the other party, which is not cost-effective.

Coupled with Wang Yi owning Meiyou Novels, with countless copyrights in the future, he could absolutely create his own film and television company and his own video platform!

Furthermore, advertising for Xingyi phones and other products, and sponsoring variety shows, would cost billions every year.

If he built his own platform, this part of the money could also be saved!

Wang Yi calculated and found that building his own platform was still more cost-effective.

He could completely take advantage of the fact that copyrights were cheap in 2011, massively acquire high-quality film and television copyrights and companies, and build his own film and television resource copyright library!

And Hua'er Pictures was a very good target.

After "Empresses in the Palace" became a huge hit in 2013, Hua'er Pictures' value soared, and LeTV spent a full 900 million to acquire Hua'er Pictures.

Currently, "Empresses in the Palace" hasn't exploded yet, and its first run is only on local channels, with satellite TV airing next year, so Hua'er Pictures isn't valuable yet.

Wang Yi estimated that three or four hundred million might be enough.

These three or four hundred million could be recouped by "Empresses in the Palace" alone in three years.

Plus, it came with Director Zheng + Screenwriter Wang, and numerous film and television copyrights.

It was practically a free gain.

He had just earned 2.2 billion by shorting HM, and Wang Yi hadn't decided how to spend it.

He might as well seize the opportunity to acquire Hua'er Pictures, gradually build the Xingyi Video platform, and pave the way for Xingyi TV in the next year or two!

Then, buying some distribution rights for other hit dramas wouldn't cost much, and the video platform would slowly be built up.

Furthermore, through built-in promotions on Xingyi phones and the Meiyou app, the number of Xingyi Video users could rapidly grow!

This was completely feasible.

At the Imperial Capital Television Culture Center, Xiao Lan knocked on Director Zheng's door.

"Enter!"

Xiao Lan pushed the door open:

"Director, Chairman Wang from Xingyi Technology is coming to the center to discuss advertising sponsorship for 'Empresses in the Palace.'"

Director Zheng frowned slightly:

"Advertising sponsorship? Such a small matter, why do they need to find me?"

"This..."

Xiao Lan was momentarily speechless.

"They must be bored. Just arrange anyone to handle it!"

Director Zheng was a bit impatient.

"Oh."

Xiao Lan, trembling with fear, quickly retreated with a grim face.

"Truly lacking a sense of priority."

Director Zheng shook his head, then his mouth twitched:

"Wait, who did he say? Xingyi Technology? Chairman Wang?"

"Shit!"

"Something bad happened!"

Director Zheng came to his senses and decisively rushed out: "Hey, you, stop right there!"
