Now that the television station's new program had already started recording, it would be able to meet the audience on New Year's Day. In Joly's opinion, it was inevitable that it would become popular, but it was hard to say how popular it would be.
Because it was the early stages of filming, the progress would be a little slow. In order to ensure quality, Joly would rather delay for a while. There was still half a year before New Year's Day. It was now the darkness before dawn. Anyway, the outside world basically had no expectations for the television station.
Joly was very satisfied with the current television station. Of course, it was not without difficulties. For example, advertisements. One had to know that a large proportion of the television station's income came from advertisements. However, with the current state of the television station, it was really difficult to find sponsors.
Joly didn't have any good ideas about this. He also tried to contact some companies. Joly even personally brought samples to his door, but they didn't give him a chance at all. In the end, Joly directly stopped this matter.
There was really no need to compromise. With the television station's current reputation, it was simply impossible to pull in large sponsors. Since that was the case, they would not look for them for now. When the program was broadcast, someone would naturally come knocking on their door.
The television station was completely sucking blood now. There was no production at all. The monthly expenditure was probably more than ten million. This was not the era of the past, where money was worthless. Ten million was a very large investment now.
It was only because Joly was confident that he could earn back the money in the future. If it was an ordinary person, they would have left long ago. However, it was not possible to just spend the money without earning it. After all, Joly only had this much money. Who knew if there would be any accidents in the future?
As she was thinking, Liu Jie walked in." President Qiao, there's a gentleman downstairs who wants to see you." It's a foreigner."
"Eh? Did he say why he wanted to see me?”
"He said he was looking for you to discuss a collaboration, but he didn't say anything specific.”
This was the first time Joly had encountered such a thing. A few days ago, he had also gone to another company to discuss cooperation. He knew the pain of doing so. Now that he had time, he felt that he should meet them, so he said,"Then invite him up."
It was a man around 50 years old. He was tall, thin, and tanned. He was dressed casually and looked like an artist. Of course, this was Joly's first impression of him.
"Hello, sir. I'm the general manager of the television station. I heard that you wanted to see me.”
"Hello, my name is F, and you can call me Li Si. I'm a Portuguese, and I'm here to talk about my daughter. I think you know her, her name is Li Jiaxin.”
"Eh? Haha, hello, hello. I'm very sorry. I should have sent it back to you yesterday, but she was in a bad mood and didn't tell me your address. You can sit down for a while. I'll arrange for someone to bring her over.”
"Mr. Qiao, you've misunderstood. I don't want to see her. I want to work with you.”
"Eh? Then what do you mean?" Jolly thought that he was here to ask for people, but why was he here to discuss cooperation?
"It's like this, Mr. Qiao. I know that you're more interested in my daughter, so I'm here this time to have a serious talk with you. I don't object to the two of you being together, but I hope that you can pay me some compensation.”
Right now, there were 10,000 f ** king horses galloping through Joly's mind. Why did it seem like he was selling his daughter? Was this a joke? Sometimes, foreigners were very direct, but the problem was that they were too direct.
"Mr. Li Si, I think you have some misunderstanding. We just met yesterday, and she's only seven years old.”
"Mr. Qiao, I think you should know that she won't be seven forever. She'll grow up eventually. This is very common in my country. Although it's not allowed in Hong Kong, she's a Portuguese citizen now, so you don't have to worry at all.”
"Mr. Li Si, I think you should know that we don't have that kind of relationship. I only took her away yesterday out of kindness. Now that you're saying this, it makes me very distressed. As a father, it's very inappropriate for you to do this.”
"Mr. Qiao, there's no point in saying that. When did you guys meet and what did you do? How would I know? I'm doing this for her own good. As a father, do you have to pretend that you don't see it when you know about this? To be played by you for nothing? I think you're the one who's not suitable. You don't have any sense of responsibility.”
Now, Joly had the urge to kill someone. To be able to speak so confidently about the divination, he could even be the governor of Hong Kong. He also knew why Li Jiaxin wanted to run away from home. It was already a blessing that she did not go crazy with such an unruly father.
She suddenly remembered the interview about Li Jiaxin in the future. She said that she lacked fatherly love when she was young. Her father didn't care about the family at all. Even after Li Jiaxin was in her teens, she didn't go home anymore. Basically, they cut off their relationship. When Li Jiaxin's father passed away, Li Jiaxin barely attended the funeral.
If that little girl wasn't Li Jiaxin, perhaps Joly would have chased her out directly, but there were no ifs. "Alright, Mr. Li Si, tell me your thoughts now.”
"300,000 Hong Kong dollars. I think it's a small sum of money for you, but it will save you a lot of trouble. Look, this is the contract that my wife and I have prepared.”
This was a kind of contract to sell oneself. It was very popular in the past. However, in recent years, the economy had developed very quickly, and the quality of people had also improved correspondingly. Very few people played this game anymore. After all, this was a bad habit. It was like taking in a concubine.
Obviously, Li Si had already made ample preparations. He had signed all the necessary places, and his entire family had signed them. Joly didn't stand on ceremony and directly signed his name. Then, he took out a check.
Now, Joly didn't want to say anything more. He had nothing to say either. He directly waved his hand and let Li Si leave. To be honest, it wasn't like he hadn't heard of such a situation before, but Joly had never seen it before. This time, he really experienced it.
In the afternoon, Joly left his office and went to Studio 1. They were currently recording " Happy Dictionary'. Because the contestants were all amateurs, it was easy to find them. They could even get the television station's staff to make guest appearances.
In order to avoid trouble, Joly did not do anything shady. He only put in some effort on the problem. After all, there were too many problems in this world that no one knew about. If he just relied on guessing, he would not be able to go far.
Because the show had not started broadcasting yet, its influence had not yet exploded. However, it did not matter. Now was the time to accumulate experience. This was something that Joly valued very much. Without experience and foundation, one could only rely on strength if they wanted to make a name for themselves.
In fact, there were already people who suggested that Joly could change the show and start broadcasting it now. However, Joly still suppressed it because he knew that now was not the time to be in the limelight.
There was no fairness in this world. If they stood out now, they would immediately have to deal with pressure from all sides. Many small hands would reach out to them. To put it bluntly, at least half of the program's production team would be pulled away.
What should he do then? Without any stock, and with the newbies not being able to do the job, the show could only be stopped. The viewership ratings would sink again. At that time, how difficult would it be to stand up again?
Therefore, Joly would rather wait a little longer. On one hand, he would store more program recordings. On the other hand, he would rope in more of his own people. When the time came, if there were really problems, he would not be flustered.
Now that a few recording studios had been put into use, the recording of the program was going quite smoothly. At least in terms of salary, Joly was still very generous. This was also a way to buy people's hearts. Being stingy was not Joly's style.
Director Wang Liren, who was in control of the recording scene, saw Joly coming over and immediately ran over. He smiled and said,"President Qiao, how is it? Any instructions?"
Wang Liren was one of the first batch of people that Joly had recruited. He was only 30 years old and had a very flexible mind. He was inspired by Joly and had a lot of inspiration. He was considered a rare talent.
" What's there to instruct me about? I just couldn't stay idle and came over to take a look. But seeing that you didn't personally take care of the camera, I'm relieved. You just want to do everything yourself. You should change this habit of yours. I'd rather see you idle while they're busy than see you busy while those people are idle.”
As he spoke, Joly pointed at the staff. This was Wang Liren's work style. When he saw that others were not satisfied with his work, he wanted to do it himself. This was not possible. Doing it himself was just for others to hear. If he really did this, the result would only be a mess.
If the leader of a country had to participate in the work of the village chief, it would only make a mess of the country. Therefore, the leader must know what to do and what not to do. If someone else couldn't do it well, they could change to a suitable person.
"Don't worry, President Qiao. I understand what you mean. I'm just used to doing it in the past, so I couldn't help it.”
"Haha, if I see you holding the camera again, I'll let you be the cameraman and let someone else be the director. If you feel that someone is not doing well, you can teach them more. If it really doesn't work, you can replace them. If you go up yourself, you will only make others rely on you.”
"Yes, okay. I'm much better now. I'm basically watching the monitor all the time.”
Joly was just walking around. Of course, he couldn't affect the work of others, so he turned around and went to the next studio. Joly was already very satisfied with the current production team, but he also knew that once they made a name for themselves, someone would quickly come up with a check to recruit them.
It was hard to say how many people would be able to stay. Even if everyone was familiar with each other now, there was nothing they could do about it. Therefore, they still needed to prepare more. It was not that they did not trust them, but that was the reality.
