x provincial television station, advertising department.
Most of the advertising department was called to an emergency meeting.
"It's almost the end of the new year, are you planning to give out money?"
A fashionably dressed young woman walked into the conference room with a smile and a relaxed expression.
"Yes, I heard that there will be a big order worth tens of millions at the end of this year, and the dividends for this year's holiday should be indispensable!"
Another middle-aged woman was also talking and laughing, and said: "The advertising department has not received any big orders this year. If we don't pay any money, I won't even be able to pay off the mortgage..."
"Hey, Xiaolin, why are you calling us to a meeting in such a hurry?"
But the other person was not so optimistic, and frowned and asked the young man who informed the driver to return.
This young man's name is Xiao Lin, and he is the deputy of Director Zhong of the advertising department. If Nie Cai were here, he would definitely recognize this man as the young man who brought Zhang Ze here.
As Director Zhong's confidant, he should be the first to hear any news.
"You guys... better be mentally prepared. Let me tell you, the deal with the tens of millions has fallen apart... I'm afraid I won't be able to pay out the money during the Chinese New Year this year!"
Xiao Lin sighed and walked towards the conference room.
"What?"
The expressions of the two women suddenly changed, and they hurriedly chased after them. Their relaxed expressions disappeared without a trace!
******
Nie Cai sent Zhang Ze back to his villa and then went home again.
He Shiran took a shower and changed a set of clothes before preparing to return to the TV station.
When I was fighting with the driver, my clothes were stained with blood, so I had to get rid of the traces.
Nie Cai went directly to Director Zhong's office and knocked on the door.
Although Nie Cai didn't like Director Zhong, he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Director Zhong, Director Zhang, I have sent him home..."
Before Nie Cai finished speaking, he saw Director Zhong coming towards him with a smile on his face, completely different from his arrogant look just now.
There are quite a lot of people in Director Zhong's office, at least a dozen people, all of whom seem to be employees of the advertising department.
But all these employees had droopy faces and looked listless.
"Director Zhong, did I interrupt your meeting?"
Nie Cai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would actually barge into the advertising department's venue.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Nie, you're back just now... Sit down quickly, I have a meeting topic to discuss with you."
Director Zhong said enthusiastically, taking the teapot and filling Nie Cai with a cup of tea.
"Director Zhong, I'm not from the advertising department. What can you do to me in a meeting?"
Nie Cai suddenly felt a little strange, why did Director Zhong suddenly become so enthusiastic
Director Zhong coughed dryly, pulled up a chair for Nie Cai to sit on, and then said: "Xiao Nie, I mainly want to tell you one thing today. Your advertising fee commission may not be paid out this year."
"Can't send it? Director Zhong, what do you mean?"
Nie Cai frowned and said immediately.
"It's just that we can't send it out. This year's economic downturn means that fewer and fewer companies are approaching us for advertising... It's the end of the year, and the tasks set at the beginning of the year have not been completed."
Director Zhong let out a long sigh: "We just had a meeting and decided that the commissions of the top two companies with the highest business volume this year will not be paid out and will be paid out at the end of next year."
The top two with the highest business volume don’t publish
This is the first time Nie Cai has heard this statement. Departments like the advertising department attach great importance to performance. Employees with outstanding performance should be heavily rewarded. How could they do the opposite and withhold the best business? Member commission
"Xiao Nie, I know it's a little hard for you to accept, but you got a 3.5 million naming contract for "Legal Frontline" from the n city TV station, with a business volume of 7.5 million, and you are famous in our advertising department. Ranked second, just behind me, the commissions from the two of us accounted for almost half of the advertising business of the advertising department's channel in the second half of the year. After deducting staff salaries and business expenses, if the commissions were paid to us first, Our entire advertising department is going to have to drink the northwest wind."
After a pause, Director Zhong continued: "Xiao Nie, considering that you have just arrived at our x provincial TV station and are still an intern reporter, I have consulted the leadership and asked you to keep your commission until the middle of next year. You What do you say?"
"Director Zhong, wait... you mean, the order from Aoke Automobile Distribution Company?"
After listening to Director Zhong's words, Nie Cai finally understood.
Director Zhong is nagging so much about relationships, but he actually doesn’t want to give himself a commission on his advertising business!
Nie Cai sneered. Director Zhong spoke in a high-sounding way.
After buying fake orchids, Taili lost tens of millions of dollars in business. As the head of the advertising department, he could not escape the blame. Even if there was someone protecting him, he would be severely fined.
Rather than being discussed by the party committee on how to punish him, Director Zhong might as well take the initiative and postpone his advertising commission for the second half of the year to next year. With this performance, Deputy Director Qin can speak for him at the party committee meeting.
But... Because Director Zhong made a mistake, does the deduction of advertising commissions have anything to do with him
Not only did he make no mistakes, but he also brought a large order of 3.5 million to the advertising department. Why should he and Director Zhong withhold the commission
Nie Cai opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he heard people in the conference room suddenly going crazy, talking in all directions.
"Xiao Nie... I think the car you drive must be worth at least a million. The commission of more than 300,000 yuan is probably nothing to you, but it is life-saving money for us! I have 80 yuan Mom, I have a three-year-old son..."
"Yes, I have been working for ten years, so I dare to buy a Tissot watch. Look at you wearing IWC. There must be no shortage of money at home. Why bother to compete with us for milk powder money..."
"Without a half-year bonus, how can I afford to pay off the mortgage with just this salary? If I don't have a house, my wife will definitely run away..."
These people begged Nie Cai one by one, and their reasons were all kinds of strange. They were indeed good business negotiators. Each one of them spoke with emotion, which made Nie Cai feel a little pity. He felt that he was just like Huang Shiren who was greedy for wealth...
Indeed, these advertising commissions can't even afford a Tesla. However, these people don't know, how can Nie Cai be considered a rich person
Nie Cai's car was borrowed from Zhang Xinyu, and all his clothes were bought by Sun Ying... Nie Cai only had a thousand pieces of pocket money, and the word "rich" couldn't be attached to it.
But…
"Xiao Nie, it's not easy for you to see so many comrades, so just agree and I will definitely give you the money next year."
Director Zhong sighed and said in a timely manner.
It would be okay if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of Nie Cai's eyes, which was a malicious reminder from the thought reading component!
"This Nie Cai... if he dares to refuse, the conflict in the advertising department will be transferred to him, and I can hide and relax. At least I won't have to bear the blame for messing up the advertising alone."
"But if he agrees... he won't get this commission at all next year? Dare to fight Director Qin? When Director Qin takes the top position, you can lay any trap on him, and he will have to get out in two or three months. This amount Is it still up to you to get the money?"
Nie Cai took a thought reading and took a picture, which immediately exposed Director Zhong's thoughts.
Seeing this, Nie Cai's heart suddenly became furious!
To be honest, Nie Cai didn't really take the hundreds of thousands of commissions seriously. After all, Nie Cai also had patent licensing fees from Cincinnati Children's Hospital in the United States. As long as he got that money, Nie Cai didn't have to rely on advertising commissions to live off.
But it's one thing to give up on your own, and it's another thing to be blackmailed by Director Zhong, especially when this Director Zhong uses his own compassion to blackmail himself.
If he doesn't agree, if dozens of people in the advertising department still hate him, he will have a bad reputation.
Thinking of this, Nie Cai suddenly sneered in his heart!
If I hadn't saved Zhang Ze from the driver today, I would have been helpless. But now Nie Cai was not afraid of Director Zhong at all.
"Director Zhong, are you really sure that the advertising department can't pay the money?"
After pondering for a moment, Nie Cai suddenly said in a deep voice.
"The landlords have no surplus food. The advertising business of the satellite channels has been contracted out. Our advertising department only has sub-channel business. How much performance can we achieve in a year?"
Director Zhong sighed and said earnestly: "Xiao Nie, you are a newcomer, and this is another advertisement signed at the end of the year... I must take care of the emotions of the old salesmen. At the end of next year, I will definitely pay what is due." I leave it to you!"
"Well, if that's the case... then I'd better not sign this advertising contract and find another advertising company."
Dare to threaten yourself? Nie Cai sneered in his heart, spread his hands and said.
"What do you mean, find another advertising company?"
Director Zhong said with a look of confusion on his face.
He originally thought that Nie Cai would show panic and anger, and angrily reject Nie Cai. In that case, he would have follow-up moves, but Nie Cai's response was beyond his expectation.
"I forgot to tell you... Director Zhang saw that I was handsome and planned to introduce me to one of his grandnieces. As a meeting gift, he also gave me their company's advertising contract for next year and asked me to go to the company to sign the contract."
Nie Cai sighed and said helplessly: "Originally, I am an employee of the TV station in the province of Earn some commission, but since the advertising department is so poor... then I have no choice. I can't bring in a big deal for nothing, and being number one in performance is equivalent to working for your advertising department in vain, right?"
"Director Zhang, do you think you are handsome? How is this possible? Don't think that I will believe you if you say this..."
Director Zhong's eyes almost popped out of his head. With Nie Cai's appearance, he would definitely not be found in the crowd. How could he marry his grandniece to Nie Cai
Fortunately, he didn't know who Zhang Ze's grand-niece was. If he knew that Zhang Ze's grand-niece was actually Zhang Xinyu, the sole heir of the Xuanwu Group, he would be even more frightened!
