Chapter 1807 - 1807 Spending Money to Buy Safety



Hearing Qiao Hua’s words, Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “We have signed the contract, so there’s no need to change it. Moreover, I didn’t intend to charge for it in the first place. My original intention in doing this show is to tell the public what I know about Chinese Medicine. This matter has nothing to do with interests or business at all.”

“Since you said so, I won’t say anything extra.”

Qiao Hua nodded and responded, “Please rest assured. In terms of the production of the show, the higher-ups have ordered that everything will be made with the highest specifications and standards.”

“Good.”

Fang Qiu nodded and hung up the phone.

“Why did he call me specifically to tell me about increasing the copyright fee?”

Fang Qiu was very confused.

He could not figure out what was going on.

However, since the TV station was willing to make this show to the highest specification, it was naturally a good thing for Fang Qiu.

Just then…

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Fang Qiu just hung up, and his cell phone rang again.

This time, it was He Xue who called.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu immediately picked up the phone.

“It turns out that you’ve been out for so long just to do a show of so-called popularization knowledge of Chinese Medicine?”

The voice of He Xue was heard from the other end of the line.

“Kind of.”

Fang Qiu immediately nodded.

As for other things, He Xue wouldn’t understand even if Fang Qiu told her. It happened that Fang Qiu could use this show to explain away.

“I heard that the buyout price of this show is only 10 million yuan. Is it true?”

He Xue asked again.

“Yeah. Any problem?”

Fang Qiu responded.

“Well, your big loss. Ha-ha!”

He Xue’s laughter was heard from the other end of the line. She said, “I know, you’re not short of money, and you’re not doing this show to make money. But the price difference of your doing this show is too big, isn’t it?”

“What do you mean by price difference?”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

“You don’t even know the result of your show’s merchant fair, do you?”

He Xue asked.

“I don’t know.”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “It’s none of my business. I’m only responsible for doing the show, and the rest has nothing to do with me.”

“I knew it.”

He Xue sighed softly and said in a smiling voice, “I just feel funny. The show you are doing can make a big fortune, but the beneficiary is the TV station instead of you. However, they not only make a lot of money but also earn your personal favor debt. In this way, you will end up losing more than you make.”

“What do you mean?”

Fang Qiu was stunned and said, “Make it clearer.”

“Okay.”

He Xue continued, “At the merchant fair, the show named ‘Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room’ which you planned, sold for 200 million yuan for the title sponsorship alone, plus all the other advertisements, a total of 450 million yuan. Do you think this price is appropriate?”

“So high?”

Hearing this price, Fang Qiu was utterly shocked.

He finally understood why Qiao Hua had proactively called to increase the price and promised to produce the show with the highest standard.

It turned out that all this was to stabilize him.

Now it seemed that Qiao Hua’s purpose was very simple, as he had seen enough benefits from Fang Qiu’s show.

Therefore, he wanted to stabilize Fang Qiu, for fear that other TV stations would intervene at this time.

After all, the profits shown at a merchant fair were enough to support other TV stations to forcibly poach Fang Qiu, not to mention the other benefits brought by the show when it officially aired.

“Yeah, this price is indeed too high for a common TV show with only six episodes.”

He Xue nodded with certainty and said, “According to the information I got, the price is a result of competition completely by those who deliberately spent a lot of money on it, as they are afraid that you will dredge stuff up from the past with them. After all, your new show is about Chinese Medicine. These Chinese Medicine companies are afraid that you will speak ill of them in the show, so they decisively dig deep into their pockets to compete for the advertisement.

“You see, if this isn’t a favor debt, what else is it?”

Hearing that…

Fang Qiu finally got the point and couldn’t help smiling bitterly in his heart.

He knew very well what those advertisers were thinking.

“You do your show, and I do my advertisement, but you can’t touch me because we are in the same boat. Now that I have invested in your show, you will embarrass yourself if you dredge up the past on the show.”

That was to say…

The 450 million yuan was essentially the hush money for Fang Qiu, which was just given in another way.

“Do you see now?”

On the other end of the line, He Xue laughed. “Don’t you think it’s funny?”

Fang Qiu smiled bitterly.

Meanwhile…

The owners of major Chinese Medicine companies in the industry, who had fought hard and obtained the advertisements in Fang Qiu’s new show, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they first heard that Fang Qiu was going to do a show about the popularization knowledge of Chinese Medicine, they already panicked.

They were really scared by what Fang Qiu had done to them.

Those pharmaceutical companies and groups that once ranked top in their industry were destroyed by Fang Qiu.

Back then…

They were also affected, and several companies were almost gone.

Fortunately, they turned over a new leaf and gradually gained the recognition of some people. That was how they survived.

They had survived.

However, their disgraceful history still existed.

They had managed hard to survive. If Fang Qiu mentioned a few words about their pasts in this new show of Chinese Medicine popularization knowledge, the reputation they had worked so hard to build up would probably be ruined again.

Therefore, they had to spend a fortune to sponsor Fang Qiu’s show.

In any case, they must firmly stand on the side of Fang Qiu, for it was the safest for them to support Fang Qiu and become his comrade-in-arms.

“There should be no problem this time, right?”

“We’ve spent so much money, and the audience all know that we’ve spent money on your show. You can’t expose us in the show, can you?”

“Fang Qiu is not an ungrateful person. He won’t forget the good deeds we have done for him and turn his back on us instead, will he?”

“Anyway, we have done our best. In case Fang Qiu gives us away, let’s see if he will be disgraced. By then, we don’t need to say anything, and the netizens will accuse him of being ungrateful.”

“It’s worth spending money to buy safety!”

The owners of those pharmaceutical companies all set their minds at rest.

Anyway, they put Fang Qiu in a dilemma this time. They believed that Fang Qiu would no longer target them.

On the other side…

The owners of major health products direct sales companies got a little flustered.

On Fang Qiu’s Weibo, it clearly read that Fang Qiu was going to start a fight.

Moreover, according to the various public opinions on Weibo, it was exactly these health product direct sales companies that Fang Qiu was going to start a fight with.

Up to now, the voices of public opinion had not subsided.

According to Fang Qiu’s Weibo, although Fang Qiu abruptly started doing a show after he posted his Weibo that said he was going to start a fight, these health products direct sales companies were most afraid that Fang Qiu would do something to them on TV.

If Fang Qiu really targeted them on TV, they would be doomed!

In a panic…

The owners of various health products direct sales companies took action one after another.

They worked all out to find connections to investigate what exactly Fang Qiu was going to do on the show.

Not long after…

The owners of these health products’ direct sales companies received the news from various TV stations.

“Our TV station has discussed it with Fang Qiu in detail. We can be sure that what he is going to do is just an ordinary show about Chinese Medicine popularization. This type of show is too boring, so our company didn’t go in the competition.”

Without a doubt…

All the health products direct sales companies received the same news.

Seeing this news…

The owners of the major health products direct sales companies immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Is it really a show about the popularization of knowledge of Chinese Medicine?”

“If that’s the case, then there’s no problem.”

“A show about Chinese Medicine popularization knowledge should have nothing to do with our health products, right?”

“It seems that Fang Qiu doesn’t intend to target us.”

“He can do whatever he wants to do, as long as he doesn’t target us.”

“Even if he wants to target us, he won’t do it on a TV show. Otherwise, it will cause a fuss that he can’t afford.”

“It seems that Fang Qiu has shrunk back from difficulties.”

“Say, Fang Qiu won’t decide to do the direct sales of health products because he participated in the direct sales training, will he?”

“If Fang Qiu joins our industry, we will have more than enough money to make.”

With the news spread from all channels…

The leaders of these health products’ direct sales companies relaxed and even started to tease Fang Qiu.

In their opinions…

Fang Qiu was a Chinese Medicine practitioner.

All of his mind must be on Chinese Medicine, and the matter of his targeting health products should just be a small episode.

Now…

Fang Qiu was going to do a new show, so he was definitely not in the mood to continue targeting the problems of health products.

Although the health products incident had caused a sensation recently, the appearance of Fang Qiu’s new show would attract everyone’s attention.

Currently, fewer and fewer people paid attention to the health products incident, which was absolutely a good thing for the health products industry.

By the time Fang Qiu’s show was aired…

Everyone’s attention to the health products incident would be reduced to the lowest degree. By then, the problems of health products would gradually be neglected by the public, and everything would return to its original state. They would continue to make money, and Fang Qiu would continue to develop his career in Chinese Medicine.

At Zhongzhou TV Station.

With the 450 million yuan in title sponsorship and advertising revenue coming in, the TV station immediately started arranging the venue. Before that, they had contacted Fang Qiu and asked for his opinions about what style of venue he preferred, what props he needed during the entire livestream of his show, and so on.

They went into great detail and even asked about the styles of the tables and chairs clearly.

Fang Qiu was very satisfied with their responsible attitude.

While the TV station staff were busy decorating the venue.

After looking into the information, Fang Qiu, who had arrived in Zhongzhou in advance, carried a pile of health products with him and went straight to Zhongzhou TV Station.

Under the guidance of the staff, Fang Qiu came to the floor where the recording studio was located. He walked through the venue and checked the various props he needed.

Then, he went backstage and started to prepare for the livestream in the evening.
