On February 13th, Mirui Technology Group was still on holiday. However, as the boss, Shi Lei did not have many friends because he did not need to visit relatives.
Therefore, Shi Lei was still working.
Originally, Shi Lei was just casually warming up and refuting rumors about the bicycle competition.
However, the announcement that Shi Lei sent out seemed to have an effect that exceeded Shi Lei's expectations.
Izur reminded Shi Lei that something interesting had happened.
A French bicycle company had contacted Dream Entertainment more than ten times.
At present, they were still in contact.
"A French bicycle company?"
Shi Lei pinched his chin and revealed a strange expression. "Izur, how did a French bicycle company contact Dream Entertainment?"
Izual replied, "Email, fax, voice mail, anything that can be used to contact Dream Entertainment, we've contacted them."
"What company?" Shi Lei asked even more strangely.
Mirui Technology Group's holiday was not confidential information.
Anyone who paid attention to Mirui Technology Group or Dream Entertainment would know that Mirui Technology Group's working hours were on February 16th.
"French LOOK Bicycle Company. Xia's name is Locke Bicycle Company. It's a high-end bicycle manufacturer. The price of all its products is more than three thousand dollars." Izur briefly introduced Locke Bicycle Company.
Shi Lei did not know much about bicycles and bicycle brands. "Izur, forward the email that Locke Bicycle Company sent to Dream Entertainment."
Izur immediately displayed the contents of the email sent by Locke Bicycle Company on his LIP lens-type information processor.
When Shi Lei finished reading the email, a smile appeared on his face.
It turned out that Locke Bicycle Company was so anxious to contact Dream Entertainment because they hoped to cooperate with Dream Entertainment.
Dream Entertainment had released the bicycle competition and the 'I Am Legend' official competition. In addition, the bicycle competition was seamlessly connected to the 'Hero's World' interactive game system. The 'Hero's World' had close to forty million players. A large portion of them were high-end players. This would be a very good advertising market.
Therefore, Locke Bicycle Company hoped that Dream Entertainment would advertise Locke Bicycle when the 'I Am Legend' official bicycle competition was held.
A more specific plan was to label all the bicycles used by the 'I Am Legend' bicycle competition with Locke Bicycle Company's logo.
This was one of the methods of game advertising. As for how much Locke Bicycle Company was willing to pay for the advertisement, it was not stated in the email.
It seemed that they wanted to discuss it over the phone.
"Izur, transfer Locke Bicycle Company's call," Shi Lei ordered.
If Locke Bicycle Company continued to call Dream Entertainment.
In that case, they would directly talk to Shi Lei.
As soon as Shi Lei gave the order, Izual connected the call from Locke's company.
Locke Bicycle Company really did not give up. They kept calling Dream Entertainment's phone.
"Hello, this is French Locke Bicycle Company's General Manager Collison Peter. I wish you a happy Spring Festival." Collison greeted first, then introduced himself and gave his blessings.
Obviously, Collison had done the relevant research before making the call and knew that Xia Xia was in the Spring Festival period.
What surprised Shi Lei was that Collison actually spoke in Xia Xia language. Even if his Xia Xia language was not very standard, it was still Xia Xia language.
"Hello, Mr. Collison. This is Dream Entertainment's CEO, Shi Lei. I wish you a happy Spring Festival as well." Shi Lei returned the favor by speaking in French so that Collison would not be able to understand.
"Oh, thank God!"
When Collison heard Shi Lei speak in French, he heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to continue communicating with Shi Lei with his limited knowledge of the Great Xia language.
"Hello, Mr. Shi. Locke Bicycle Company would like to cooperate with Dream Entertainment."
Shi Lei said affirmatively, "I've already checked the emails you sent.
However, Dream Entertainment is still on holiday for the time being.
The relevant business cooperation will have to wait until February 16th, when Dream Entertainment officially opens for business. Only then can we proceed with the follow-up negotiations. "
Although Shi Lei did not immediately agree, Collison heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Lei did not mean that they could not cooperate, but that it was not the right time.
"Okay, Mr. Shi. Locke Bicycle Company looks forward to cooperating with Dream Entertainment.
I won't disturb Mr. Shi's holiday time. I wish you a happy Spring Festival again, "Collison said tactfully.
"I wish you a happy Spring Festival too. Goodbye!" Shi Lei hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
However, just as Shi Lei hung up the call with Collison, the information processor of the LIP lens rang again.
The caller ID showed that it was the ace host of Shuangqing TV Station, Hu Ke. Shi Lei thought for a moment and decided to answer the call.
"Happy Spring Festival, Great Host Hu!" Shi Lei greeted first after he picked up the phone.
However, Hu Ke said with a tone of self-pity, "Ai ai ai, Director Shi, after you became successful, you've completely forgotten about me, this little host!"
Shi Lei pretended not to hear and asked, "Great Host Hu, what brings you here today?"
Shi Lei knew very well that Hu Ke would not visit him without a reason. Since Hu Ke had called him, she must have something to tell him.
"Hey, Mr. Shi, can't I look for you without a reason?" Hu Ke said, pretending to be pitiful.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Great Host Hu, I'm dealing with a rather tricky matter.
If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up! "
Shi Lei did not want to hang up the phone. He just wanted to scare Hu Ke.
Hu Ke and Shi Lei had known each other for a long time. When Ye Feng robbed the Shuanghu District Bank, Shi Lei already knew Hu Ke.
Although Shi Lei did not want anything to happen with Hu Ke, they were indeed friends.
Hu Ke quickly said, "Don't, don't, Mr. Shi, I'm afraid of you!
Actually, I'm looking for you today because I have something to tell you.
A friend of mine asked me to contact you. He wants to discuss something with you. "
"What is it?" Shi Lei asked.
"This …" Hu Ke hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shi, this matter can't be explained clearly over the phone. Why don't we talk about it face to face?
Look, it's almost lunchtime. My friend will treat you to lunch. How about it? "
Shi Lei thought about it for a while and agreed. "For the sake of Great Emcee Hu, I have to eat this meal no matter what.
Where are you? "
"We're at Shuanghu District. I heard that there's a new Jianghe Fish Restaurant on the west bank of Lake Cui.
Their fish are all wild fish from the Lijiang River. Why don't we have lunch at Jianghe Fish Restaurant? "Hu Ke asked for Shi Lei's opinion.
Shi Lei's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed silently. He had just gone to Jianghe Fish Restaurant with Mu Shuang and Lingyumo!
"Okay, Great Host Hu. Let's meet at Jianghe Fish Restaurant!" Shi Lei confirmed Hu Ke's answer.
Hu Ke let out a sigh of relief. She looked at the casually dressed woman beside her and rolled her eyes, then said, "Okay, Mr. Shi. We'll wait for you at Jianghe Fish Restaurant."
Shi Lei nodded and hung up the phone.
Although Shi Lei did not have any improper thoughts about Hu Ke, Shi Lei could not go out in his pajamas to meet Hu Ke.
After a simple wash, Shi Lei changed into sportswear, grabbed his car keys, and left the house.
About twenty minutes had passed since Shi Lei hung up the phone and arrived at Jianghe Fish Restaurant.
As soon as he walked into the Jianghe Fish Restaurant, the fat boss greeted him with a smile. "Welcome, Mr. Shi. Welcome. Welcome.
I'm really sorry that I didn't recognize Mr. Shi and neglected you. I hope Mr. Shi won't take it to heart. "
The last time Shi Lei came with Mu Shuang and Lingyumo, the fat boss did not know Shi Lei's identity. Now that he knew who Shi Lei was, of course, he had to curry favor with Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded and did not reply. He walked in directly. As he walked, he used the LIP lens type information processor to lock on to Hu Ke's phone.
But just as he dialed, Shi Lei saw Hu Ke. Hu Ke did not pick up the phone. She stood up and waved at Shi Lei.
Shi Lei looked towards Hu Ke and discovered that Hu Ke and another woman were sitting by the window.
The woman beside Hu Ke whispered, "Ke Ke, that inconspicuous guy is actually the CEO of Dream Entertainment?"
Hu Ke nodded. "Don't underestimate him!
This guy is very powerful in Shuangqing City. "
The woman rolled her eyes helplessly. Obviously, she agreed with Hu Ke's words.
Shi Lei came to Hu Ke's side and sat opposite her and the unfamiliar woman. He smiled and said, "Great Host Hu, is this your friend?"
"Yes!"
After Hu Ke replied, she immediately introduced, "This is my college classmate and best friend, Kong Siyue. She is currently hosting a cycling show on CCTV Sports Channel."
Shi Lei sized up Kong Siyue. Kong Siyue was about the same height as Hu Ke, but she had short hair. She was dressed plainly and did not wear any makeup.
After listening to Hu Ke's introduction, Shi Lei immediately thought of the cycling competition. He smiled and said, "Miss Hu, could it be that your friend, Miss Kong, wants to interview me about the cycling competition?"
Kong Siyue took the initiative and said, "Mr. Shi, actually, I don't want to interview you. I hope that Dream Entertainment can cooperate with CCTV Sports Channel to exclusively follow your cycling competition.
Also, Mr. Shi, you can just call me Little Kong. I can't be compared to Miss Hu! "
Hu Ke rolled her eyes at Kong Siyue and said, "Director Shi, rumor has it that Dream Entertainment and CCTV don't get along well.
That's why Kong Siyue asked me to be the mediator. She hopes that Dream Entertainment will let go of its prejudice against CCTV. "
The conflict between Dream Entertainment and CCTV was not news in Xia Xia's television industry.
This was because Dream Entertainment had cooperated with Beijing Television Station and not CCTV when they organized a player event in Beijing. This made the conflict even more obvious.
Shi Lei thought for a moment and asked, "CCTV is a golden brand. There are too many news programs that want to be broadcast on CCTV. Why do you have to choose Dream Entertainment?"
CCTV was not some local TV station. Even if the program was not famous, as long as it was broadcast on CCTV, it would be a golden brand.
Shi Lei did not want to have anything to do with CCTV, especially since Shi Lei had killed CCTV's special consultant, Zhou Zeming, in the Campas region. Shi Lei did not want to have anything to do with CCTV for the time being. He did not want to be targeted by the Soaring Dragon Organization.
The Soaring Dragon Organization, that was a colossus!
