Chapter 166: NetworkingWhen I saw the middle-aged man, Cao Feifei immediately replaced her tight expression with a sweet smile. First, she politely shook hands with the middle-aged man. She smiled and said: "I am very grateful to Chairman Sun for the invitation. In fact would Chairman Sun give me the honour of giving you a lift to the hotel."
"Oh, General Manager Cao is too polite." Talking the middle-aged man patted Cao Feifei"s back and then raised his voice. It seemed to be intended to let others hear what he said. "New Century has already done enough as the biggest sponsor of this ceremony. I heard that you sponsored 3 million this time. We, old guys, have also benefited a lot. When you get back, thank Chairman Cao for me please."
No wonder New Century Entertainment was the biggest winner of this award ceremony. They were the biggest sponsors.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua knows that the middle-aged man"s words were obviously intended to be heard by hims He was reminding him that if he wanted to win the prize next time, he must provide the corresponding donation to a.s.sociation.
Zhang Xiaohua whispered to Yuan Datong: "Who is this person?
"He is the executive chairman of the Music a.s.sociation, Sun Qingdong, Chairman Sun. I heard that his brother is an official in the main party." Yuan Datong whispered to Zhang Xiaohua.
After chatting with Cao Feifei for a while, Sun Qingdong seemed to noticed the existence of Zhang Xiaohua. He took the initiative to go up to Zhang Xiaohua. Then he extended his hand to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "If I didn"t guess wrong, you are the boss of HuaXiang Entertainment, Zhang Xiaohua?"
"h.e.l.lo, Chairman Sun, it"s a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Xiaohua extended out his hand. Zhang Xiaohua knew that the ident.i.ty of the other party was extraordinary, so he had to put down his pride and smile.
"Boss Zhang really is young and promising. In such a short period of time, you have made a career for yourself that"s to be admired!" said Sun Qingdong.
Zhang Xiaohua felt skeptical towards how much he trulyment his words. Half of the sponsors.h.i.+p fees from the ceremony had probably ended up in Sun Qingdong"s pockets.
"I hope that Chairman Sun will forgive us. This was the first time our company has partic.i.p.ated in such a grand award ceremony, so we didn"t have anything prepared. But I also ask President Sun to rest a.s.sured that next time we will throw our full backing behind this ceremony. After all everyone has a part to play in revitalizing the domestic entertainment scene."
The entertainment companies didn"t hesitate to pay a large amount of money in sponsors.h.i.+p fees in order to help their artists, the annual income for the a.s.sociation therefore became tens of millions with most of the core members each raking in at least get a million yuan in income.
To put it simply, the so-called music a.s.sociation was an interest group composed of artists from the older generation. The purpose was to use their fame and connections to acc.u.mulate wealth they were heavily connected in the industry and many of them had ties in politics.
In order to make a good impression on Sun Qingdong"s heart, Zhang Xiaohua turned to Emma and said: "Tomorrow, get finance department to prepare 5 million yuan and donate it to the Huaxia Music a.s.sociation in the name of the company."
Emma felt bitter hearing this why did they have to donate money to them when they had just robbed them of their awards
But since Zhang Xiaohua had spoken in front of so many people, Emma couldn"t ignore his face so she had no choice but to nod.
Sun Qingdong hearing these words, said earnestly " Boss Zhang is so generous, it makes how such a man of the people didn"t win an award maybe next year will be your year hahaha."
"I hope so too." Here, Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Cao Feifei.
Listening to this, Cao Feifei"s expression of relaxation was suddenly tightened, and her face was covered with iron, her heart was full of anger, and she was so angry that she could not wait to take a knife to Zhang Xiaohua.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua succeeded in leaving a good impression in Sun Qingdong"s heart.
New Century Entertainment had sponsored 3 million in return for almost all of the artists of New Century winning awards tonight.
Zhang Xiaohua and his company"s artists did not receive any awards this time, but Zhang Xiaohua directly gave the music a.s.sociation 5 million in the name of sponsors.h.i.+p, 2 million more than New Century.
Cao Feifei took a big step and said to Sun Qingdong interrupting the two from rubbing shoulders any longer: "Sir, my car is outside, let"s go to the reception, many people are waiting for you."
Sun Qingdong looked between Cao Feifei and Zhang Xiaohua and said: "Oh my indeed look at the time, it"s seems I must be off. It was a pleasure to meet you young man, keep up the good work. Thank you for the offer Miss Cao but I already asked my driver to bring the car, so I"ll go ahead first and meet you there."
Watching him Sun Qingdong briskly walking away Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly turned and led out Yuan Datong and the rest.
Cao Feifei stood alone in the hall watching both characters walk away...
