Chapter 1377: Boss Pei’s Foresight and Guts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huang Sibo did not expect Meng Chang to trust Boss Pei so much.

However, he felt that the risk of this matter was too high.

This was an election for a country, not a child’s play!

There were at least twenty to thirty million people in Yuklaia. How could Boss Pei be so sure that they would vote for a comedian as the President when so many people were voting? Most media also felt that there was a high chance that the current President would be re-elected!

However, now that he thought about it, Boss Pei should have thought of tying the episode of ‘Successor’ to this foreign drama at the beginning of ‘Successor’. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately limited the time.

How was he different from a gambler?

If Waxili was selected, it would be a huge profit. ‘Successor’ would take off on the spot.

Yet, what if he failed to be selected? That would not be news at all. It would be best if people were to mock ‘Successor’ with this matter. What’s more, no one in the country would pay attention to this matter. Boss Pei’s preparations would be wasted and wasted.

In other words, Boss Pei was pinning the fate of ‘Successor’ on a country thousands of kilometers away.

He won the bet and became a god on the spot.

If he lost the bet, the huge investment in the early stages of ‘Successor’ would be wasted. He would even have to put up the brand of Fei Huang Workspace.

However, there was no other way now.

Huang Sibo came to discuss with Meng Chang because he hoped that Meng Chang would think of a way to reverse this situation.

Meng Chang thought for a long time and realized that Boss Pei had already left a brilliant plan.

However, the contents of this brilliant plan were to continue waiting for the results of the Yuklaia election.

At the end of the day, he could not do anything.

“Alright, I can only choose to trust Boss Pei now.”

Huang Sibo had no choice but to leave and continue with his work while waiting patiently.

When he reached the entrance of the advertising and marketing department, Huang Sibo took out his cell phone and called Cui Geng.

“Have you paid attention to the election at Yuklaia?” Huang Sibo asked.

Cui Geng’s confused voice came through the phone. “The election for Yuklaia? Is it this year?”

Huang Sibo: “It’s alright.”

It looked like Meng Chang’s guess was right. Cui Geng knew nothing about this at all. There was no hint of this when he wrote ‘Successor’. It was purely a coincidence.

It looked like Boss Pei had everything under control. He was keenly aware of the connection between these two matters and had arranged the link between the two without anyone knowing.

However, he could not guarantee this. He could only wait patiently.

Meng Chang began to modify his publicity plan after Huang Sibo left.

Since the situation had changed, he had to improvise and adjust immediately.

It was just like the publicity plan the last time. When he realized that Home Corporation wanted to ride on his popularity, he used his identity as Young Master Tian to upload the video in advance. Even though this directly caused the commission income to decrease, the Pei Family’s publicity method was still a huge success. Meng Chang also obtained income that far exceeded the commission through Fan Xiaodong emptying the shares of Home Corporation.

It was the same this time.

The original plan would no longer work. Just Qian’s review blocked Meng Chang’s path tightly.

However, it did not matter. Boss Pei had already pointed out a clear path.

Meng Chang decided to adjust his plan and use Young Master Tian to post a video at the end of this month to directly refute Just Qian’s words!

While Just Qian’s words had a large influence on the audience and formed a stereotype of ‘Successor’, the last public opinion position of ‘Successor’ was maintained through tit-for-tat debate. At the same time, they waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

Once the last episode of ‘Successor’ was broadcast and the final outcome of the election on Yuklaia was released, it would be the time for Young Master Tian to counterattack with ‘Successor’!

Of course, all of this was based on the prerequisite that the comedian, Great Wasil, really won in the Yuklaia election.

If they did not make it, they would be completely GG.

At that time, ‘Successor’ would be crippled. All the filming funds and publicity funds would be wasted. If Young Master Tian’s account was crippled, Fei Huang Workspace’s reputation would not collapse, but it would definitely be affected. The most important thing was that Boss Pei’s undefeated golden body within Tengda would be exposed.

He had to admit that this was a huge gamble.

However, Meng Chang did not care at all. After all, Boss Pei was the one who paid for the publicity funds. If Boss Pei was willing to bet on a huge project, so be it!

Of course, this was definitely not encouraging him to bet mindlessly. He would definitely bet on the dog to be biased. Under any circumstances, the gambler’s mentality would not be good. There would only be one outcome for stupid bet. That was to have a ruined home and die.

However, Boss Pei’s huge gamble obviously originated from his analysis of social reality, his insights into human nature, and his estimates of what would happen in the future.

It was just like how venture capitalism and buying stocks were not based on illusory probability and luck, but on their own logical judgment.

Boss Pei was very stable when he should be. He strategized and did not make any mistakes. However, he did not hesitate when he needed to take risks.

Meng Chang felt that it did not matter even if Young Master Tian’s account was useless. In any case, he did not invest much in this account. It was just a derivative of the Pei family’s publicity method.

Next, Meng Chang would invest a lot of money into the second round of a publicity campaign around this publicity plan, increasing the discussion and popularity of ‘Successor’.

That was to invest more chips on the table.

If he won, he would earn more. If he lost, he would lose more.

After deciding on the plan, Meng Chang was already prepared to cut his commission in half this month.

Initially, ‘Successor’ was extremely unpopular. Its ratings had also plummeted under the attack of Just Qian’s dark manuscript. Meng Chang could get a high commission without doing anything.

On the other hand, if he posted a video as Young Master Tian and went against Just Qian, the popularity of ‘Successor’ would definitely increase. The reputation might also increase slightly.

The popularity would only completely explode next month, but there would definitely not be much commission this month.

Meng Chang’s heart ached, but he had to abandon these commissions like the last time for the success of the Pei family’s publicity method.

“Is there any way to earn some extra money like the last time?”

Ever since he tasted the benefits from Fan Xiaodong the last time, Meng Chang had gone out of control. The commission did not look that good anymore.

After all, the Pei family’s publicity method, a dragon slaying skill, was really a waste of god’s gifts to only use it to earn some commission.

However, this had nothing to do with the company after all. It was unlikely that they would empty their shares.

Meng Chang thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he had an idea. He searched for the compensation rate for the Yuklaia election on the internet and realized that the odds in Great Waxili had reached more than five!

Of course, this was definitely illegal in China. Meng Chang would definitely not dare to mess around.

However, Fan Xiaodong was overseas. According to local law, this was legal.

Meng Chang immediately called Fan Xiaodong.

“Little Dong, how much money do you have now?” Meng Chang asked.

“About two hundred thousand US dollars.”

Meng Chang paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. “If you agree, I want to bet all of this money on Yuklaia’s Dawa Xili.”

Fan Xiaodong looked confused. “Why would I disagree? This is your money. You can use it however you want.”

“However…”

“Yuklaia? Who’s the Great Waxili? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”

Meng Chang said, “You can check for the Yuklaia election yourself.”

There was a moment of silence on Fan Xiaodong’s side. Then, he exclaimed, “The election? You want to bet on this person to be the President of Yuklaia? Brother, are you crazy?”

“This person is an actor. He came to participate in the election to be a joke. The payout at five o’clock might look tempting, but so what if the payout is high? You’re committing suicide!”

“That’s two hundred thousand US dollars!”

“Or did you get some news from Tengda…”

“That’s not right either… Tengda is only an ordinary company. How can it control the Ukiah selection…”

Meng Chang’s actions stunned Fan Xiaodong completely.

Fan Xiaodong was indeed convinced about the matter with Home Corporation previously.

However, that was a commercial action after all. It was equivalent to Boss Pei setting a trap for Home Corporation through Slow Movement Studio.

Fan Xiaodong believed that Boss Pei could control such things.

However, what was up with Yuklaia’s election? It was impossible to obtain insider information, much less influence.

This thing depended on the final outcome of the voting. Everyone’s judgment could only be said to be a prediction. It might be accurate or not. There were too many uncontrollable factors. There was no way to ensure the accuracy of the prediction.

To throw two hundred thousand US dollars in at once was simply too crazy.

Meng Chang was very determined. “I can’t explain too much, but since I’m going to do this, there must be a reason.”

“If he really fails, it would just be two hundred thousand US dollars making ducks and drakes. Just take it that what happened with Home Corporation did not happen. It’s just a worldly possession. You won’t feel the pinch even if you lose it.”

“However, if I succeed, I will be able to repay all my debts directly. I might even have some left!”

“If I don’t fight now, I won’t get another chance like this in the future.”

Meng Chang felt that Boss Pei dared to bet on so many things, including the filming and publicity funds for ‘Successor’ and even the reputation of Fei Huang Workspace. If he failed, wouldn’t the loss be greater than his own?

What was two hundred thousand US dollars compared to Boss Pei’s investment?

What’s more, Meng Chang was very passionate about taking risks. He had the mentality of a gambler. It would be fine if he did not know about this opportunity, but he would definitely not let it go if he did.

Boss Pei said that he was not confident. There must be a certain humility. It was worth a try no matter what.

Fan Xiaodong was silent. Obviously, he was completely shocked by Meng Chang.

He even began to doubt Tengda’s background. He wondered if Meng Chang was working for Tengda or if he had joined some strange and mysterious organization…

After a long time, Fan Xiaodong said, “Alright, let’s do as you say. I’ll symbolically invest 50,000 yuan. If it really succeeds, we’ll make a huge profit..”
