Chapter 270 268. CCTV’s Bid for the King

The noisy pass is a bit crowded with people coming and going. Strange accents can be heard here, most of them speaking strange-sounding Cantonese.

Nearing the 1997 pass, there were more tourists from the mainland and Xiangjiang. Chen Li'an found it very interesting to listen to these strange Cantonese and the occasional dialect.

People who come to Xiangjiang from the mainland try their best to speak Cantonese in order to integrate here. It seems that speaking Mandarin will be looked down upon, but in fact this is indeed the case.

The Xiangjiang people who come from the mainland and speak a lot of Mandarin will pretend not to understand, and then yell at you in Cantonese with a contemptuous and condescending attitude. Even the waiters at the food stalls do the same.

This is regional discrimination. It is very common and difficult to change. Don’t think there is regional discrimination in Hong Kong. There is also regional discrimination in many places in the mainland.

The second half of the 1990s was no longer as simple as the 1970s and 1980s. Few people were called comrades anymore. Workers and peasants suddenly lost their dominant position, and everything turned to money.

Economically developed places will naturally look down on economically backward places. This is both normal and strange.

After Chen Li'an came out of the gate of Shencheng, he saw Qiao Linmu who came to pick him up. This time he rushed back to the mainland temporarily just to meet with Qiao Linmu to discuss the next major events.

The art space in Xiangjiang is Chen Li'an's hobby and fun, and VCD is the foundation for Chen Li'an to make money and support his family.

Chen Li'an still attaches great importance to the development of Lixin VCD. After all, he has two children and will still have to earn money for milk powder in the future.

When Qiao Linmu saw Chen Li'an, he cared for a few words and then couldn't help but said: "You said you run out every day and don't know the Gu family. It's been a long time since you saw Xiaobao. I can still recognize you now when I go back." No."

"You, my uncle, have a lot to worry about. Can my daughter still recognize me?" Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows, and he missed that pink little cotton-padded jacket a little bit.

Qiao Linmu didn't say much, and rushed to Shencheng Airport with Chen Li'an. After seeing a family of four with a son and a daughter at the airport, he couldn't help but said to Chen Li'an: "Ms. Chen is about to give birth, she's about to give birth." Now, you’re not around to take care of me either.”

"There's still one month left. Her mother will take care of her. You can help me deal with it this time when she returns to the capital." Chen Li'an looked at Qiao Linmu with a smile and said.

Qiao Linmu felt like his head was pounding. He was scolded by Gong Li's parents last time, and he probably wouldn't be able to escape when meeting Chen Meiren's parents this time.

But who makes me the closest elder to this bastard? What can I do if I don't show up?

Qiao Linmu even suspected that he would encounter this kind of situation again in the future. According to Chen Li'an's restless character, he didn't know what would happen in the future.

Qiao Linmu couldn't help but sigh. His nephew was good at everything, but he was too carefree. He should find someone who could take care of him.

However, such people are so difficult to find. Qiao Linmu thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable candidate from around him.

Qiao Linmu looked at Chen Li'an and said, "It's okay if I go and meet you. The key thing is what are you going to do?"

"It depends on her parents' attitude. If it's not easy, just have a wedding."

Chen Li'an has no other choice, but he will never get a certificate. Just like the outlaw Zhang San said, even if he marries ten different people ten times a day, as long as he doesn't get a certificate, it is not a crime!

"A wedding?" Qiao Linmu frowned, and then he figured out Chen Li'an's plan. In the end, he could only remain silent helplessly, as there seemed to be no better way.

This way at least I have a reasonable explanation for others.

After talking about these unhappy topics, the two of them also discussed the top priority of their trip to the capital.

"The factory estimates that this time's bid will be at least over 100 million, which is really not a good deal." Qiao Linmu is no longer as obsessed with this time's bid as he was last year.

Lixin VCD is already No. 1 in the industry and a household name in China. It doesn’t mean much whether or not it wins the title.

What's more, spending hundreds of millions to win the bid, this number is really too big.

After hearing this, Chen Li'an smiled and said: "The estimate is a bit conservative. I think it will take more than 300 million to win this year's bid."

The effect of CCTV's "Biao Wang" campaign has already been reflected. Qinchi Liquor's business has increased by more than 500 yuan this year, and the price of "Biao Wang" is destined to rise from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

In Chen Li'an's memory, Qinchi Liquor spent less than 70 million to win the bid last year, but this year it should have spent 320 million.

There is a difference of more than 200 million in two years, which can already explain how hot the price of CCTV's bid is.

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Qiao Linmu felt it was impossible. How could an advertisement be sold for 300 million? Which company has the courage and funds?

Qiao Linmu's psychological price is 150 million. If it exceeds this number, he must carefully consider it. However, Chen Li'an insists on winning this year's bid. Anyway, he doesn't have to spend so much money at once.

After winning the bid, Lixin can completely leave all his peers behind and become the real leader!

The plane landed in the capital soon. As soon as Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu came out, they got into Li Dabai's car and rushed home.

Li Dabai looked at the rearview mirror from time to time while driving. She hadn't seen Chen Li'an for nearly a month. She still missed him, but Qiao Linmu didn't dare to show it to her.

After returning home and resting for a while, Qiao Linmu couldn't sit still and wanted to go to Gong Li's place to see his granddaughter.

Chen Li'an always felt that this title was strange. Qiao Linmu was obviously his elder, so how could he call his daughter granddaughter?

However, thinking of Qiao Linmu's eagerness to hold his grandson, Chen Li'an immediately took him to Gong Li's place.

After arriving, Qiao Linmu's chubby face was filled with smiles. He was holding his granddaughter and was so happy that he couldn't find the north. Chen Li'an, the old father, was pushed aside.

Seeing Qiao Linmu like this, Chen Li'an thought about introducing a boyfriend to his cousin later to see how anxious Lao Qiao was.

In Gong Li's bedroom, Chen Li'an had just closed the door when he heard her say: "I went to register for residence a few days ago."

"Registered? Why didn't you tell me, where's your name!" Chen Li'an was a little excited.

Gong Li took out the household registration book from Rosewood and handed it to Chen Li'an and said, "Look for yourself, who told you not to come back? You can't keep your household registration."

Chen Li'an immediately opened his household registration book and smiled immediately when he saw his daughter's name. He hugged Gong Li and kissed her.

"Sister, you are so good!"

Gong Li wiped her face in disgust and said, "If I don't let the baby have your last name, will you still have to quarrel with me?"

Chen Li'an hugged Gong Li and said affectionately: "Of course not. Although I care about this, I won't be angry with you because of it. After all, you have paid the most and you have the right to decide."

"I don't believe you." Gong Li rolled her eyes at Chen Li'an and said, "Do you think the name Mengli sounds nice?"

"That sounds great. I dream about you every day. I miss you so much." Chen Li'an hugged Gong Li, feeling her plump body, and his breathing became rapid.

Gong Li's reaction was even greater than that of Chen Li'an. She closed her eyes slightly and raised her neck, letting those dishonest hands wander up and down.

Chen Li'an smelled the milky fragrance on Gong Li's body, felt her weak and boneless body that turned into water, and could no longer hold back the longing and excitement in his heart.

There are no tricks, just two men and women expressing their longing and love for each other in the most original way.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu appeared at the CCTV building. This year, many more companies participated in the bidding process than in previous years.

Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu looked at so many competitors and were not too worried. Among so many companies, there were less than ten companies that actually had the strength to participate in the bidding for the title.

The most important thing is that one of Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu is sure of winning, while the other is not so obsessed with it. They can shoot if they can, and pull down if they can't.

The bidding soon began, and hundreds of entrepreneurs sat in their seats and began to wait. Many people were discussing what the sky-high price would be for this year's bidding king.

Not far from Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu, Ai Duo's Hu Zhibiao also came, but his goal was not the Biao King. Ai Duo fell completely at a disadvantage in a series of competitions with Li Xin.

This year he simply couldn't afford to spend that much money to participate in the auction, so his goal was to get a second-tier advertising space.

Qiao Linmu glanced at him and said, "Aido has done a lot of advertising this year, and it still occupies about one-sixth of the market share in the south."

Chen Li'an glanced at it and said nonchalantly: "Ai Duo is no longer our opponent. What we should be wary of is BBK. Duan Zhiping is a character."

"I know." Qiao Linmu thought of Little Overlord's development experience and felt that this was a more difficult opponent than Hu Zhibiao.

However, he is not particularly worried. Lixin's current development momentum is very good. As long as he does not make mistakes in decision-making, he does not have to worry about normal competition.

The bidding has already begun, and the companies participating in the bidding this year are indeed similar to what Chen Li'an thought. They all became very enthusiastic and seemed to increase their prices without thinking.

Last year, the weather forecast advertising space that could be obtained for more than 20 million yuan was raised to more than 80 million yuan this year! It directly exceeds last year's standard price.

In fact, there is another reason, and that is the harsh words made by Ji Changkong, the top bidder last year, saying that he drives an Audi from CCTV every day, and his business this year has more than quintupled.

Qiao Linmu couldn't help but turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "You are really right. The price this year is much higher than last year."

"Isn't it strange? I have been working hard for a year, but I haven't made an advertisement yet." Chen Li'an smiled and said softly: "Besides, the example of Kong's family drinking Qinchi Liquor was before, who Can you not be moved?"

Qiao Linmu nodded and said: "That's right. Last year we made frequent donations to the newspapers and participated in the home appliance war. Our sales were only one billion. Qinchi Liquor easily made one billion by advertising. .”

"So I say that this year's standard price will definitely be very high, and the liquor industry will definitely increase prices crazily this year. Other industries don't have that much money."

"Then just wait and see."

The bidding for King Biao only started at the end. The previous biddings were all for second-level advertisements. Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu never raised their placards, waiting for King Biao's bidding.

Soon the bidding for the king's bid began. Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu looked at each other and got ready.

Qiao Linmu handed the number plate to Chen Li'an and said in a low voice: "You can hold up the number plate. You can see it more clearly than me, but remember not to be impulsive."

Chen Li'an hummed and took the sign without further chatting with Qiao Linmu. With so many people sitting here and chatting too much, his bottom price would be exposed. It would be embarrassing if someone deliberately raised the price.

There will also be situations where prices are raised. The people in the CCTV advertising department are not fools. They must exchange interests with companies with relatively good relationships so that they can raise prices at the right time.

Chen Li'an doesn't care so much. He has his own psychological price in his heart. He has seen the cards and is much calmer than others.

Even if there is an accident this year, Chen Li'an is not worried. After all, the price of more than 300 million yuan is not something that just any company can afford. I don't believe how many people can take the final shot this year!

The bidding started soon. Chen Li'an did not take the lead in raising placards. Those who raised placards in front of him were just joining in the fun. Many people held up placards in front of them with the purpose of participating. After the amount exceeded 100 million, there would be no such thing. Many people raised their signs.

"One hundred and ten million on the 13th, one hundred and ten million!"

After the host shouted a few words, someone immediately increased the price.

"The price will be directly increased to 120 million on the 8th!"

Chen Li'an didn't expect to directly increase the price by 10 million. She glanced at the two people who had just bid, and she felt they looked familiar, but she couldn't recognize them. They seemed to make health care products.

No wonder he was so rich, but Chen Li'an wasn't worried that they couldn't photograph Biao Wang.

Chen Li'an, who had never raised a sign, also raised the sign in his hand and shouted a 10 million increase in price.

The bidding has reached this point, and you must actively participate and increase the price again and again. Only in this way can you express your determination to win, and it is also a deterrent to competitors.

"One hundred and thirty million on the 16th! One hundred and thirty million! Is there any other boss who wants to bid?"

After hearing the host's shout, Chen Li'an put down the sign in his hand with an extremely calm expression, as if he had just raised the sign as a joke.

The reactions of other placard holders are completely different. Every year, CCTV's "Bidding King" event may be the most spendthrift day for Chinese entrepreneurs. Each time a placard is raised, the price is 10 million. This kind of psychological pressure is not small.

"The bid on the 21st is 131 million!"

"One hundred and thirty-five million! The bid on the twelfth is one hundred and thirty-five million!"

Soon the bidding entered a fierce stage, and Chen Li'an became a little more serious. He glanced at the boss of Qinchi Liquor Industry, silently raised the sign in his hand, and directly increased the price by 10 million again.

Chen Li'an's two consecutive bid increases of 10 million immediately attracted everyone's attention. Many people who did not participate in the bidding began to whisper and ask who this person was.

Looking at such a young man, he shouldn't be the second generation of any family. If that's the case, this year's winner would be interesting.

However, someone with a sharp eye still recognized Chen Li'an and whispered in a low voice: "Grandma, an artist is better at doing business than us, how dare you let me live!"

Chen Li'an didn't care about those comments. After Ji Changkong of Qinchi Liquor Industry raised the price to 180 million, he directly increased the price to 200 million.

"Two hundred million! The Lixin VCD bid on the 16th is 200 million!"
