Chapter 532: First Voluntary Donation
The system seemed to understand Su Chen's thoughts and explained:
"Master, from now on the system will be your assistant. If you need anything, just let me know."
"OK."
However, after just a few seconds, Su Chen's mood quickly calmed down.
Actually, if you think about it, the system is not of much help to me at this stage.
At most, there are some special props that need to be exchanged from the system mall.
You are a dog system. Even if you don’t call me master, you still play the role of assisting me, right?
"Donate this money first."
"Yes, Master!"
The system responded immediately.
"Ding! A donation of 26.808895 billion has been made to the National Welfare Medical Research Center!"
Hearing this voice, Su Chen finally put down the stone in his heart.
After doing this, Su Chen completely said goodbye to his history of unreserved donation.
From now on, Su Chen can start his new life without any mental burden.
Beep, beep, beep…
Just a few minutes later, Su Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the call was from Hua Lai, the director of the National Welfare Medical Research Center, Su Chen immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Teacher Su Chen!"
Hua Lai's excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Dean Hua."
"Thank you very much for donating a huge sum of money to our center again!"
"On behalf of the center and all the people suffering from diseases around the world, thank you!"
This surprised Su Chen a little.
The response and efficiency were so fast? I had just completed the donation, and within a few minutes, Hualai responded immediately?
But well, this at least shows that Hualai is a very competent dean.
“I’m just doing my bit.”
Su Chen said modestly.
"Teacher Su Chen, you are one of the greatest people in the world!"
Hua Lai said excitedly.
"With your huge fund support, Teacher Su Chen, the number of illnesses in the world will be greatly reduced!"
Hearing these words, Su Chen felt a little smug.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about his donations, he has already become a figure worthy of being recorded in history.
"Thank you for the compliment."
But of course, in a country of etiquette, polite words are always necessary.
"Also, Teacher Su Chen, this time I have some good news for you."
But Hua Lai's words were not over yet.
"oh?"
Su Chen was a little confused about this.
Good news? Notify yourself?
Does it have anything to do with you?
Fortunately, Hualai did not keep us in suspense and gave the answer directly:
"With the strong support of Professor Su Chen, our research work has quickly achieved phased results!"
"The clinical study of the Gleevec alternative has successfully passed the first phase and entered the second phase!"
Su Chen was also very happy to hear this news:
"Very good!"
This means that countless patients and families will receive good news.
Hua Lai's voice was filled with excitement:
"Thank you, Teacher Su Chen! Without your financial support, we would not have achieved such results!"
For a long time before, due to the shortage of funds, the research work of the National Welfare Medical Research Center has been progressing slowly.
With the huge injection of funds from Su Chen, various research projects entered the fast lane of rapid development.
Su Chen was a little excited, with a little pride:
"These achievements are inseparable from the hard work of all the experts and President Hua."
“I hope your alternative medicine can be launched on the market soon!”
Hualai immediately agreed:
“We will definitely try our best!”
"Thank you again, Teacher Su Chen!"
“…”
After ending this call, Su Chen couldn't calm down for a long time.
Although it was painful to donate 26.8 billion again, Su Chen felt that he had made the right choice.
When cheap alternative drugs come on the market, how much suffering can be relieved for patients and how many miserable families can be saved. These are things that cannot be measured by money!
The next day, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun brought a reply letter to Su Chen.
After some bargaining.
The one that showed the greatest sincerity was NBC.
"But even NBC, which has the most sincerity, is only willing to split the profits with us 50-50."
Zhong Lei said a little embarrassedly.
"so……"
At this time, the Zhong brothers actually came to Su Chen to make the final decision.
After all, Su Chen was the planner of those three variety shows, and the two brothers were just agents.
Su Chen pinched his chin and thought.
Looking at this scene, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
You know, this is equivalent to three business deals.
They get 0.5% for each variety show, and adding up the three, that means they can get 1.5%.
In the long run, this is definitely a huge sum of money.
Now it depends on Su Chen’s attitude.
Compared with the domestic profit-sharing ratio, the conditions offered by NBC are certainly not high.
However, Su Chen did not demonstrate the same dominance in Ugly Country as he did in his own country.
So in fact, such a price is already very sincere for NBC.
“It’s a deal.”
After a little consideration, Su Chen finally agreed.
Although, in reality, as the agents, the Zhong brothers will get 0.5% of the share, and Su Chen's share of each variety show is only 45%.
But considering his status in the Ugly Country, such a share is already excellent.
Would you feel bad if you gave Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun 0.5% of the share?
A little bit, I guess.
But it is impossible to be a hands-off boss without being willing to pay the price.
Having said that, the share that Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun took was already considered low in the field of entertainment and sports.
In the industry, it is normal for brokers to take a 10% or 20% commission.
Therefore, this entire clause is already very cost-effective for Su Chen.
So, why not agree?
"good!"
"We will sign a formal agreement with NBC immediately!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun smiled at the same time.
It would be strange if you are not happy when you get some small amount of money.
What happens next becomes much simpler.
After a series of processes, the exclusive American copyrights of "If You Are the One", "I Love to Remember Lyrics" and "The King of Crossover Singer" have been given to NBC.
NBC, which obtained the copyright, immediately couldn't wait to officially announce the news.
This immediately caused a huge wave in the Ugly Country.
First, those angry young netizens from the Ugly Country immediately expressed doubts and criticisms.
"Seet! What's going on! When did our ugly country fall to the point of importing variety shows from China?"
"NBC is a disgrace to our ugly country!"
"First they introduced Su Chen's TV series, then they invited Su Chen to perform, and now they've even introduced Su Chen's variety show proposal! NBC has embarked on the path of no return of shamelessly licking Su Chen's boots!"
"No matter what the quality of Su Chen 's variety show proposal is, I am disgusted by NBC's behavior!"
"Strongly call for a boycott of NBC and Su Chen's variety show."
“…”
Several other companies contacted Xingyi and wanted to purchase Su Chen's variety show, but ultimately lost to NBC and several ugly American TV stations, who took advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble.
If they had gotten Su Chen's variety show, their attitude would definitely be different.
With Su Chen's current popularity and fan appeal in the Ugly Country, if managed well, Su Chen's variety show will most likely become a hit.
But now, it is their rival NBC that has reaped the rewards, and the situation is completely different.
They must create trouble for their competitors, or even make Su Chen's variety show fail.
So, they released some explosive inside information they knew through various channels.
"According to reliable information, NBC has adopted a 50-50 profit distribution plan for Su Chen's variety show this time!"
"NBC paid a very high price, fought viciously, beat its peers, and got Su Chen's variety show!"
"NBC brought China's vicious competition for Su Chen's work to the Ugly Country!"
“…”
After seeing this news, those American netizens with strong self-esteem were even more indignant and immediately criticized NBC.
Even Su Chen began to hold a grudge against him.
"NBC, the ugly scum of the country!"
“This is an absolutely shameful profit distribution scheme!”
"Oh my god! As far as I know, the highest share that planners in the industry can get is 20%! How can NBC sell out its own interests like this!"
"NBC has been disrupting the market! We strongly call for a boycott! If this continues, our ugly country will also become Su Chen's back garden! Just look at the current market situation in China and you will know!"
"We absolutely won't agree to this! We will never allow the tragedy that happened in China to happen again in our ugly country!"
“…”
In sharp contrast to this is.
Su Chen's fans in the Ugly Country immediately welcomed and supported this.
"Great! We can finally watch Brother Chen's variety show!"
"You are out of your mind, are you boycotting this? What is there to boycott? NBC has brought us excellent variety shows, isn't that a good thing?"
"Thank you NBC, thank you Teacher Su Chen, for letting us watch a different variety show!"
"I won't even watch those shitty variety shows of yours! Do you dare to boycott Brother Chen's variety show?"
"Boycott Brother Chen? That's ridiculous! Some people just want to criticize for the sake of criticizing!"
“…”
But at this time, the pressure has come to NBC.
NBC executives immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Although there have always been voices against Su Chen in Chou Country, now, with the instigation of various forces, if things go wrong, it will really go wrong.
Thus, the meeting began to revolve around two major topics.
First, should we launch an emergency public relations campaign on the current online situation to suppress the voices against Su Chen?
Second, how should Su Chen’s three variety shows be broadcast?
At this time, the top leaders were divided into two factions.
One group advocates suppressing dissenting voices because they feel that this will greatly affect NBC's image.
Look at what they said: The scum of the ugly country has spoiled the market. How can NBC bear such a big accusation?
However, the top leaders of the other faction advocated that the matter should be left unresolved.
After all, the entertainment industry is full of troubles and open and secret struggles.
Isn’t it normal for netizens to quarrel with each other?
Why bother?
Doing so would make NBC appear petty and waste the station's resources.
Wouldn't it be better to concentrate all efforts on making good the variety show that Su Chen has brought back?
After a fierce debate, the opposition finally gained the upper hand.
NBC executives reached a decision to let the situation slide.
So next, we will focus on discussing the second question.
Some anxious senior executives immediately proposed to launch Su Chen's three variety shows at the same time to counter the outside world's doubts about Su Chen and NBC.
This view was quite popular and immediately gained support from some senior executives.
But at this time someone immediately jumped out and questioned:
“Does NBC have the ability to prepare and run three flagship variety shows at the same time?”
Similarly, many people expressed concerns.
Although, NBC has more than one variety show running at the same time.
However, there are priorities among variety shows.
In addition to the variety shows that NBC already has, you are launching three flagship variety shows at the same time. Money is not a problem, but do you have that many human resources?
Of course, this view was immediately refuted:
"Those who say that Su Chen's variety show requires a lot of human resources have not carefully read Su Chen's variety show plan."
"Among Su Chen's three variety show plans, only the variety show "Crossover Singer" requires more human resources. The two variety shows "If You Are the One" and "I Love to Remember Lyrics" only need some amateurs and newcomers to take the lead!"
"So actually, it is not difficult to appear on Ma Suchen's three variety shows at the same time."
After hearing these words, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became weird.
Because those who raised objections had indeed not read Su Chen's variety show planning proposal. They were just raising objections based on their own experience and knowledge.
But if Su Chen’s three variety shows are really like this, then why are they opposing it?
So at this moment, they hurriedly opened the three planning proposals of "If You Are the One", "I Love to Remember Lyrics" and "King of Crossover Singer" and read them carefully.
Half an hour later.
The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became heated.
Because all the NBC executives present no longer had any objections and unanimously decided to launch Su Chen’s three variety shows at the same time!
Everyone is already excitedly discussing how to put it into practice!
Of course, at this time, it is mainly the heads of the variety show department who are competing for the projects!
They are all insiders and have already achieved great success in China. They all know very well that as long as they honestly follow Su Chen's variety show planning proposal, they will most likely be able to replicate Su Chen's success in China.
In this situation, who wouldn't want to take the credit for themselves?
"Master! Please give me If You Are the One!"
"I will definitely make "Crossover Singer" a success! I promise!"
"If the ratings of "I Love to Remember Lyrics" are lower than 30 million in my hands, please let me be the one to blame! I am willing to take all the responsibility!"
“…”
