“Is Chief Cheng in?” Feng Yu went to the advertising department . Last year, he was only a division chief .
A bespectacled young man stood up: “You are looking for Chief Cheng? Do you have an appointment?
Damn, this Cheng Baojun was now a big shot? Advance appointments must be made before I can meet him? But who was this person? How come I had not seen him in the past? Cheng Baojun's rank should not be assigned to a secretary .
“Are you new here? Help me go in and tell him that Feng Yu is here . ” Feng Yu sat down on one of the work stations like his own office .
The young man was surprised . Who was this person? The department was having a meeting today, and he was newly transferred over . So, he was made to look after the office .
“Chief Cheng is in a meeting now . The rest is not here . Do you want to come back tomorrow?”
Feng Yu looked at his watch . It was only 2 pm in the afternoon . There were still a few more hours before the end of the day . Does the meeting last so long?
“I will wait here for him . I think his meeting will end soon . Do you have anything to drink?”
“Yes . I will make tea for you . ”
The young man saw Feng Yu's attitude and thought that he was some leader's son . He could not afford to offend these types of people . It was not easy for him to be transferred to this unit . He had to make sure that he would not be fired because of small matters .
When Cheng Baojun came back from the meeting, he saw Feng Yu sitting on the sofa in the office with his legs crossed . Feng Yu was slowly sipping on his tea and eating melon seeds .
Cheng Baojun was speechless . This was an office and how could anyone eat melon seeds here? He stared at the newcomer . Why didn't you stop him?
The young man saw the look on his leader's face and got nervous . He also did not expect Feng Yu to take out a packet of melon seeds from his pocket and start eating . Feng Yu even asked him if he wants some . From Feng Yu's attitude, he did not dare to stop him .
“Chief Cheng, your meeting is too long . ” Feng Yu looked at his watch . It was already 4 pm . He knew that the meeting must be filled with bullshit and every sentence must be started with “I think this… . I think that……” and a simple thing will turn into a profound discussion . Feng Yu was someone that prefers to keep everything short and straight to the point . He wants efficiency .
Cheng Baojun looked at Feng Yu speechless . Our department's meeting was to talk about the problems they faced in their work . What has the length of our meeting got to do with you?
“Manager Feng, why are you here?”
“Oh, I heard that CCTV will be airing a few new programs and there are many new advertising slots . ”
Cheng Baojun's eyes widen: “Manager Feng, you want to buy advertisement slots?”
“Yes . Tell me about the advertisement slots you have now . If I am happy, I will buy multiple slots . ” Feng Yu rolled his eyes . Was this something new? If I am not buying advertising slots, why am I here for? Chat with you?
“Yes . Tell me about the advertisement slots you have now . If I am happy, I will buy multiple slots . ” Feng Yu rolled his eyes . Was this something new? If I am not buying advertising slots, why am I here for? Chat with you?
“Manager Feng, come into my office . Xiao Wang, prepare the tea . Old Li, bring the price list for the available advertising slots over . ”
Feng Yu took the melon seeds on the table in his hands and slowly make his way into Cheng Baojun's office . The newcomer was shocked!
The seniors in the office told the young man that this was Tai Hua Trading's, Manager Feng . He was CCTV biggest client for the past two years . He had never bargain over the advertising prices! The advertising fees at CCTV now took a reference to Manager Feng's spending on advertisements . Manager Feng was also close to the Station's top leaders . He was the sponsor for the New Year Eve's Gala dinner .
Feng Yu entered Cheng Baojun's office and noticed that Cheng Baojun was looking at his hand .
“Chief Cheng, you want some melon seeds?” Feng Yu offered the melon seeds in his hand to him .
Cheng Baojun's face turned black: “No! This is an office!” I want you to keep those seeds . Who the hell wants your melon seeds?!
Feng Yu reluctantly keep the melon seeds into his pocket . Stopping in the midst of eating melon seeds was torture . It was hard to stop eating melon seeds once you started .
Old Li brought a list into the room for Cheng Baojun, and Cheng Baojun passed the list to Feng Yu after taking a look: “Manager Feng, these are all the available slots . See if you like any of the slots . Why not you buy out all these slots? There are only 8 slots . ”
Feng Yu took a look . Because there was a change in the programs, the timings and length of some programs were changed . As such, there were available slots . The longest was 1 minute, and the shortest was 15 seconds . There were 2 slots in the early afternoon, 4 in the afternoon and 2 in the evenings .
The timing of these slots was not that bad . These could be used to promote the VCD and the Learning Machine . 4 advertisements a day will be sufficient for the viewers to remember his products .

“Since Chief Cheng had said it, then I shall give you face . I can buy out all these slots . Name me a price . ” Feng Yu placed the list on the table and said .
Cheng Baojun's face lit up: “You want all the slots? Let me see, what's the total . ”
He opened his drawer and took out a notebook and…… a calculator!
He punched the numbers on the calculator for some time and pushed the calculator to Feng Yu: “Manager Feng, this is the final figure . Since you are so forthright, I shall give you a 10% discount . The length of the contract will last until December 31st this year . ”
Feng Yu took a glance at the calculator and made a mental calculation . He compared to the prices of the primetime slots . Damn, was this Cheng Baojun joking? These 8 slots were worth this price?
Feng Yu punched a few numbers on the calculator and pushed it back to Cheng Baojun: “I will take it if it is at this price . Chief Cheng, I may be rich, but I do not spend my money wastefully . ”
Cheng Baojun smiled: “How can you say that? This price is too low . I can't answer my higher-ups with this price . ”
Feng Yu would never agree to the doubled price . The price he wanted was about what CCTV had in mind .
But Cheng Baojun still wanted to try and get more out of Feng Yu . He would get some credits if he were able to let Feng Yu spend more . The advertising department highest rank allowed was only a Deputy Chief . He wants the department to be upgraded and be promoted to Chief . He could also be promoted and do something that he was familiar with .
“What do you mean that you are unable to answer to your higher-ups? Is the price I offered not reasonable? I am paying the advertising fees . In CCTV, there are some that do not need to pay for advertising . ”

“Since when did we let people advertise for free?” Cheng Baojun asked back . He was the one overlooking this department and does not want Feng Yu to make baseless claims .
“Didn't Panasonic air their advertisements during last year's ? Did they pay CCTV?”
“How can that be the same? That anime was given to us by Japan and had waived the copyright fees . ” Cheng Baojun retorted .
“Then which is more expensive? Copyright fees or advertising fees?” Feng Yu snickered .
“Erm…… That is different . We are doing this to get quality programs from overseas . Their anime is better, and if we do not let them advertise, they will not sell us that anime . Furthermore, Japan had also promised us that they will give us the rights for more anime . ”
“Does that mean that they will be able to air their advertisements every time? Can't you tell whether you are making a gain or loss in this deal? If animations can get an advertising slot for free, then I will buy a few animations copyrights from the US and Europe . Does that mean CCTV will let me advertise for free?” Feng Yu asked .
“Ermm…… Manager Feng, I can't make this decision . Let's take about the advertising fees . Increase that rate by 20% and I will sell you all these slots . ” Cheng Baojun dare not to make any decisions on the anime . These were decided by CCTV's top leaders .
“10% . This will surely be higher than the original rates . Don't think that I do not know the market rates . ”
Cheng Baojun replied with an embarrassed look: “Deal . I will let my men draft the contract now . ”
This afternoon, Feng Yu came to CCTV again . He was here so frequent until the guards knew him . As usual, Feng Yu gave the guards a packet of cigarettes and drove in . He does not need any permit to enter the premises . “Is Chief Cheng in?” Feng Yu went to the advertising department . Last year, he was only a division chief . A bespectacled young man stood up: “You are looking for Chief Cheng? Do you have an appointment? Damn, this Cheng Baojun was now a big shot? Advance appointments must be made before I can meet him?
