Chapter 1963 Sincerity
Taipei’s “Laoye Hotel” is one of the most famous hotels in Taipei. Although the name is vulgar, it is well-known in Taipei. All businessmen who come to Taipei will dine here, not for anything else, but for the grand name - “Grandpa”, all who come are grandpas. How cool it sounds!
Lin Kunhai hosted Lin Feng in the top and unique “Plum Blossom Hall” of “Laoye Hotel”. Of course, it was originally said that Guo Taiming hosted the banquet, but since both parties knew who was being hosted, it didn’t matter who was hosting. What’s more, Lin Kunhai was really afraid that Lin Feng would act arrogantly and suffer losses, so it was safest to host the banquet himself. In this way, he was in a righteous position. If Lin Feng wanted to take action, it would be unreasonable and unreasonable, so he was not afraid.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this hotel is famous enough, and this Plum Blossom Hall is luxurious enough. Plum blossoms are worthy of being the best of all flowers. Using them to decorate the private room is much more majestic and elegant than peonies." As soon as Lin Feng entered the "Plum Blossom Hall", he saw a painting with flying dragons and phoenixes. Lin Feng's level of Chinese studies is really limited, and he doesn't know what words are written on this painting, but he still has some ideas in his eyes. This painting is at least the original work of a great calligrapher hundreds of years ago. It is magnificent to be placed here as a screen.
Of course, not only is this screen magnificent, but the mahogany furniture around it, if Lin Feng is not mistaken, this wood is made of extremely precious fragrant wood. If there is no millions of dollars for such a set, it is absolutely impossible to talk about it. Counting the antiques on display, the decoration value of this Plum Blossom Hall must be tens of millions of RMB.
Luxurious, absolutely luxurious! However, Lin Feng thought to himself that if a guest made a fuss here and accidentally broke something, he would lose a lot of money. Of course, if it wasn't for the first-class guest, the "Laoye Hotel" probably wouldn't open the Plum Blossom Hall.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar, sorry, sorry!" Lin Kunhai saw Lin Feng coming in and immediately came to greet him.
Lin Feng looked carefully and found that Lin Kunhai was of medium build and ordinary appearance, but he had his own majesty and could be considered a figure.
"Mr. Lin, you are Mr. Lin, and I am also Mr. Lin, it's really interesting!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Lin Kunhai's eyebrows jumped slightly. Lin Feng's words were a bit rash, how could you respond like this. But thinking about the fact that the man in front of him spoke to the President of the United States in the same tone, it was not good to be angry with him. Otherwise, Lin Feng's words - I and the President of the United States both speak like this - were enough to choke Lin Kunhai to death.
"Sit, sit!" Lin Kunhai led Lin Feng and his group to sit down.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the Plum Blossom Hall? This Plum Blossom Hall is the top private room in the 'Laoye Hotel'. Ordinary people can't book it even if they pay. If I didn't have some face in Taipei, I probably wouldn't be able to book this Plum Blossom Hall." Lin Kunhai pointed to the surroundings and said proudly.
Lin Feng smiled. This Lin Kunhai was demonstrating to himself,
telling himself that he was not an ordinary person. This Plum Blossom Hall, which ordinary people couldn't book, he could easily book, this was a warning to Lin Feng!
Guo Taiming was also a shrewd person. Seeing that the two of them had already started before the banquet, he was also sweating. Although he is now the richest man in Taiwan and a local emperor in name, that is also a flattery from everyone. It is true that he has great power in Taiwan, but it is not that no one can compete with him. For example, Lin Kunhai in front of him is not someone Guo Taiming is willing to offend easily. Especially the person behind him, Guo Taiming is even more unwilling to offend.
But Lin Feng, Guo Taiming dare not offend him at all. Now his business focuses on mainland China. If he offends Lin Feng, and Lin Feng really attacks him regardless of everything, then Lin Feng's words may close his company in mainland China. Although he employs millions of workers in mainland China, Lin Feng can definitely handle it. At that time, the government can do whatever it wants to him.
So, he can't offend both sides. He had to make peace quickly.
"Haha, yes, this Plum Blossom Hall is indeed not available to ordinary people. I couldn't book it last time. But I think if it's Brother Lin who wants to book it, the hotel owner will definitely give Lin Feng face." Guo Taiming laughed.
Lin Kunhai snorted. Guo Taiming's words are not to help either side, but they also want to help each other. But overall, he still prefers Lin Feng a little.
"Waiter, serve the food!" Lin Kunhai waved his hand.
In other hotels, they are called waiters. Since this is the "Laoye Hotel", it is naturally the name of Xiaoer and Laoye. Otherwise, how can it be called "Laoye Hotel"! Of course, ordinary guests don't have this treatment, only people like Lin Kunhai can have such treatment.
Then, the dishes were served like flowing water, and the banquet was filled with dishes that were finely crafted, colorful, fragrant and delicious.
"So, Lao Guo and I are also acquaintances. He calls you Brother Lin, and I will call you Brother Lin out of my confidence. Otherwise, it would be awkward to call you Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin. Come on, Brother Lin, let's have a drink! No matter what I have neglected before, I hope Haimei will forgive me!" After saying that, Lin Kunhai was about to drink this glass.
Unexpectedly, the glass was held down by a hand.
"Brother Lin, what do you mean?" Lin Kunhai frowned.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Chairman Lin, of course we have to drink wine, and we have to drink it to the fullest, but we must make this clear. You are not neglecting me, what you are really neglecting is her -" Lin Feng pointed to the other attendees Lin Yichen said, "She is the heroine of "Mischief Kiss". Originally, the show was supposed to be broadcast during prime time last night, but it was not broadcast. But through my inquiries, I found out that it would be broadcast at 21:00 on Monday instead. Chairman Lin, you seem to lack an explanation, an explanation!"
Lin Kunhai glanced at Lin Yichen contemptuously. She was just an actress and not worthy of his seriousness. All he cares about is Lin Feng, otherwise would he apologize for treating a drama to a temporary change?
"Brother Lin, this matter is indeed due to our station's negligence. Those employees below are really shameless. They did not notify us of the change of broadcast. I also understand this matter. Therefore, in order to express our station's sincerity and apology, and Out of respect for Mr. Lin, I punished the director who arranged the TV broadcast and dismissed several co-investigators. But this did not satisfy me and I felt that this did not represent my sincerity, so I held a banquet today. Mr. Lin and this lady, come here, this glass of wine will be my apology wine!" Lin Kunhai said and was about to raise his glass.
But, he was stopped again. It’s still Lin Feng!
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Lin Kunhai's tone suddenly changed.
Logically speaking, he had given enough face to Linfeng by removing him from his post and offering him an apology drink. If it were anyone else, he would not have paid attention to him. But Lin Feng's behavior was too much.
"Brother Lin, you are going too far. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after drinking!" Guo Taiming said in a low voice.
This wine is not allowed to be drunk, which is too much. Even if there is still hatred, after a few glasses of wine, there is nothing difficult to talk about.
"Chairman Lin, I'm not interested in what you're talking about. I just want to know one thing: when will "Mischief Kiss" be broadcast!" Lin Feng asked.
"Well, this, according to my station's arrangement, it will be broadcast at 21:00 on Monday night! Of course, since Mr. Lin has spoken, I can squeeze out other programs and schedule it to be broadcast at 20:30, no longer. Lin Kunhai said with a embarrassed look.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Chairman Lin, you are looking down on me. You are insulting me!" Lin Feng said softly.
But although the voice was soft, as soon as these words came out, the entire Plum Blossom Hall instantly felt like a world of ice and snow, freezing to the bone.
"Insulting you? Insulting you, I won't serve wine here! Lin Feng, don't be shameless!" Lin Kunhai also has a hot temper, and this is his territory. After being repeatedly made things difficult by Lin Feng, he The temper has also come.
"Oh, what do you want?" Lin Feng was also unkind. You Sanli TV station changed my program without authorization, punished a director like this, dismissed several co-investigators, and even dismissed them, who do you think you are! Are you that easy to bully?
When he saw Lin Kunhai, he was about to get angry, but Gou quickly smoothed things over.
"Two of you, two of you, if you still recognize me, Guo Taiming, please listen to what I have to say!" Guo Taiming stood up.
Lin Kunhai snorted and remained silent for the time being. Lin Feng shrugged and signaled to Terry Gou to speak if he had anything to say.
"You two, this matter is originally a small matter, not a big deal. Why should we have a stalemate? A stalemate will not be beneficial to anyone, right!" Guo Taiming persuaded with sincerity.
"Old Lin, this matter is actually very simple. So, let me be fair, how about you change the broadcast of "Mischief Kiss" to Saturday? As for the time, it doesn't need prime time, how about 20:30?" Gou Taiming suggested .
"No!" Lin Feng and Lin Kunhai said in unison.
"Lao Guo, you don't know how much "Mischief Kiss" offended those reporters. Saturday is the prime time period. To broadcast such a drama that has been banned by reporters will be a huge loss. It has to be broadcast on Saturday. Okay, at least after 22 o'clock!" Lin Kunhai said.
22 o'clock? Terry Gou rolled his eyelids, it was too late. But compared to Monday, this time period is not bad, at least it is still a weekend, and the audience usually goes to bed later.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Terry Gou asked tentatively.
"Lao Guo, my limit is one. "Mischief Kiss" must be played within the originally scheduled time. It will be played at other times, no need to discuss it!" Lin Feng did not give in.
"Lin Feng, do you think this is your 'second world'! Do you think this is mainland China? This is Taiwan, my Sanli TV station!" Lin Kunhai became very angry when he heard this. He has already given in and is willing to broadcast it on Saturday instead, which is a great deal of face to Lin Feng and Terry Gou. But Lin Feng is still making excuses and insisting on the prime time period for broadcasting. Isn't this awkward? Do you think he is easy to bully?
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Gou Taiming also felt that Lin Feng was a bit too much. After all, others have given in, so you should also give in.
"Lao Guo, did you read today's newspaper? How did those reporters ridicule me? I, Lin Feng, can't afford to shame this person. Besides, Chairman Lin, is that an apology? Discipline a master and fire several co-investigators. , is this perfunctory with me?" Lin Feng snorted coldly.
Terry Gou pouts. Indeed, after Sanli TV station did not broadcast "Prank Kiss" yesterday, those reporters started to make trouble. Although they did not say anything directly, they made Lin Feng very sarcastic by insinuations. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to stand such idleness. As for Lin Kunhai's punishment, it was indeed perfunctory. But this is normal. After all, the two sides have nothing to say. Lin Kunhai is already very proud.
"Well, since I'm the middleman today, I'll smooth things over. I'll personally fund the time slot for "It Started with a Kiss" from 19:30 to 20:30 on Saturday. Old Lin, name a price, and we'll sign the contract today." Guo Taiming thought for a while and said.
Lin Feng and Lin Kunhai frowned at the same time.
"Old Guo, you're making things difficult for me." Lin Kunhai looked troubled. In theory, Guo Taiming couldn't refuse such a request. People have said that they will spend money to buy the prime time. If you still refuse, it will be disrespectful to Taiwan's richest man. Although Guo Taiming is not as rich as Lin Feng, he is a native of Taiwan and has great influence. If he refuses, it will be a slap in the face. But unfortunately, the reason for withdrawing "It Started with a Kiss" this time is not just because of the ban by these reporters.
It can be said that if Lin Kunhai wants to do Lin Feng a favor, then what does the ban by these reporters mean? He can still broadcast it, and no one at Sanli TV dares to say anything. But he received an order from above to ban "It Starts with a Kiss", and the reason was naturally because of Lin Feng. The higher-ups were unhappy with Lin Feng and wanted to find an excuse to embarrass him. Of course, it was also to promote a new play by a small star that a certain leader above had taken a fancy to.
All these reasons added up, making it incumbent for Lin Kunhai to withdraw the prime-time broadcast time of "It Starts with a Kiss". But Guo Taiming did this, and it was difficult for him to do it.
"Old Guo, I..." Lin Kunhai hesitated. He really didn't know what to do at this moment.
"Old Lin, what's wrong with you today? Aren't you a very straightforward person usually? Why are you so nagging today! Is it okay? Just one word!" Guo Taiming was also angry. I was giving him Lin Kunhai face, and I spent my own money to buy the prime time. Didn't you, Lin Kunhai, say that you were afraid that the reporter would ban it and affect your income? I will help you make up for the income. But you are still nagging here, which is not giving me Guo Taiming face.
"Old Guo, I'm really sorry. There are rules in the station, and I can't change them without authorization!" In the end, Lin Kunhai made a decision. Guo Taiming cannot be offended, but the person above cannot be offended even more. Moreover, if the person above can finally rise to the top, he will also have a bright future. By then, perhaps the richest man in Taiwan will be replaced by him, Lin Kunhai.
"Lin Kunhai!" Guo Taiming did not expect Lin Kunhai to really slap him in the face.
"Okay, old Guo, don't be angry. It seems that Chairman Lin is very insincere in negotiating. Since this time, there is no need to drink this wine. But Lin Kunhai, let me say this here, I will make "It Starts with a Kiss" broadcast in the prime time on Saturday, believe it or not!" Lin Feng said proudly.
