Chapter 949: They should throw away that little money
These are all kitchen supplies that are extremely used.
Not to mention some billboards that have entered the camera, although there are no sponsored supplies, they also pay for advertising.
Even Lucas took a look at these and took them down as much as 70%.
Cookers and ignition stoves are foreign brands.
But what's the use of relying on these two alone?
"What's going on with these brands?" Lucas asked in shock, "All of them were withdrawn at the same time?"
This is also the news I just got, and there was nothing wrong with it even yesterday.
The Secretary-General said: "I received the other party's notice almost at the same time. Just this morning."
After all, there are too many advertisers and sponsors.
Even if the message was sent at the same time, they wouldn't have time to read it together.
"As for why the withdrawal is, the employee in charge has been contacted and asked. Now I have just compiled the list and I will send it to you immediately." said the Secretary-General.
"Go and check!" Lucas said.
The Secretary-General nodded: "It's already being investigated."
He saw that Lucas was already a little busy now.
The Secretary-General was silent for a few seconds and asked again: "You said, could it be Zhao Gushen..."
"Zhao Gushen?" Lucas suddenly looked up at the Secretary-General.
"He did have a vague intention of threatening us before. If we don't do what he said, we will be against us." Lucas said.
Lucas then shook his head again: "But what does these brands have to do with Zhao Gushen?"
Lucas paused and said, "Have you checked? Are these brands related to Changping?"
"No." said the Secretary-General, "Although we are still investigating why these brands suddenly withdraw, there is no reason for this. But we immediately checked the connection between these brands and found that some of them may belong to the same group, but not all of them. Most of them are scattered under different groups, or they are a large group with several sub-brands under them."
"There is no common connection between these different brands," said the Secretary-General.
"This is so strange." Lucas frowned.
"Let's check it first and find it out as quickly as possible." Lucas said, "If you can keep it, just keep it. You can reduce the price appropriately."
"When they were in the investment promotion, they won the quota at a very high price, so we have a lot of room for price reduction. The price of the second place was the bottom line."
Anyway, the auction price for the second place at that time was already at its limit. Even if it was replaced by those brands, it would be impossible to increase the price.
"In addition, if it really doesn't work, just change the brand. Contact the brand that lost before the competition." Lucas said.
The Secretary-General nodded and went to deal with it.
In the afternoon, the Secretary-General finally came back with the results of the investigation.
"Lucas, it's been found out." The Secretary-General said with a calm face, "I'm afraid it's really related to Zhao Gushen."
"Don't these brands have no connection with Changping?" Lucas's face changed.
"There is no contact, but we have asked that these brands either belong to families with a very good relationship with Zhao Gushen, or are groups secretly founded by families. Although they seem to not belong to them on the outside, they are actually their family's industries."
"In China, there are very famous Eight Great Family. It is said that their relationship is very good, so good that they can support each other unconditionally as they are now, as if the Eight Great Family can form an entire big family."
"Each of their family is very strong. Just think that it is equivalent to eight Changping combined to deal with us." said the Secretary-General.
Lucas took a deep breath and almost collapsed on the chair.
A Changping thought he could tie the game with their entire Mockles family.
Now eight Changping...
True or fake!
Just kidding!
Lucas looked at the Secretary-General in shock.
"No joke," Lucas said in a deep voice.
"How can you be sure? It's because of Zhao Gushen? Wait, how did you find out that it is related to the other seven families? Isn't it said that there are some brands that their family is not created in the name of the family?" Lucas asked.
"We were just investigating the background of those brands, and we didn't think about those families. But at noon, we received new news." said the Secretary-General.
"What?" Lucas said almost gritted his teeth.
He really doesn't want to hear any new news now.
"The live broadcast of our International Cooking Competition in China was stopped," said the Secretary-General.
"Tell me more!" Lucas said in a deep voice.
"China's TV stations will not broadcast our cooking competition live. Moreover, due to language issues, the common language of the International Cooking Competition is English. If it is live, it needs to be translated simultaneously. This requires very strict live broadcasts. Moreover, China's TV stations have their own arrangements. The audience range of our international cooking competition is actually not large, and it is not enough for the TV station to buy our live broadcast rights and broadcast it on the TV station." said the Secretary-General.
"So, the one who bought our live broadcast rights was the China-based online video playback platform, and the one who bought it was the exclusive live broadcast rights. And that online video playback platform belongs to Hanbang."
Han Bang, Lucas knows it very much.
I believe that few people don’t know.
It also has a considerable position in Hollywood, and has produced many film and television companies that have sold many blockbuster movies in recent years.
"The family to which Han Bang belongs also has a very good relationship with Zhao Gushen, and is one of the eight major families." said the Secretary-General.
"What about other online video platforms?" Lucas said, "It's not all from Han Bang!"
"Hanbang has our exclusive broadcast rights and the contract has taken effect." said the Secretary-General, "they have paid us the money."
"So, they gave the money, but they didn't play it?" Lucas asked in disbelief.
"That's right." The Secretary-General nodded.
Han Bang has the exclusive broadcast rights, but if he doesn't broadcast, no one can broadcast it.
"Do they would rather lose money than broadcast it?" Lucas's voice rose.
"If I remember correctly, Han Bang spent a lot of money to win this exclusive broadcast right!" Lucas said.
"Yes, we asked immediately. They said that they would throw away that little money and they could afford it." The Secretary-General said heavily.
It means not to regard money as money.
Chapter completed!
