Chapter 528

Gu Qing said: "What's there to think about? 'Cheers, Friends' or 'Blue and White Porcelain' would both be fine."

Zhou Andong said: "I'll sing one you haven't heard before, the latest promotional song for Jiang Xiaobai."

Everyone's eyes lit up. Gu Qing said: "Before and after the New Year, Qin Chi has been making constant moves, and its sales in our Sanbei region have been climbing steadily. Jiang Xiaobai's advertising investment in the three months before and after the New Year was more than the total investment of the previous year, and that was only just enough to tie with Qin Chi."

Zhou Andong said: "The key promotion is that Jiang Xiaobai has become the royal liquor of the British Empire."

Gu Qing said: "That's exactly how it's being promoted, otherwise we really might have lost."

Zhou Andong smiled. Zhang Sheng-hui was a true genius; if it weren't for his final eagerness for quick success, it's hard to imagine how far Qin Chi could have gone.

Moreover, that guy ran to the capital before the New Year, most likely to find the CCTV station, but during the New Year, no ads were seen.

The only possibility was that there were no time slots left. More importantly, for the current CCTV, it wasn't just about having money; you also had to have connections.

Otherwise, even if the time slots were full, as long as your connections were strong enough, you could always squeeze out a few seconds.

That's how the "King of Bids" came to be—because there were too many people asking for favors, and they couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they finally decided to let money do the talking.

"This year, Qin Chi is starting its national layout. It should start in Xiangnan, and our pressure will be much less."

Gu Qing said: "Qin Chi's momentum has risen and cannot be stopped."

Zhou Andong said: "Even if Qin Chi fails, it will be because of its own doing."

Gu Qing was stunned: "Will Qin Chi fail?"

"Who knows!" Zhou Andong shrugged and got up to walk toward the bar.

Chang Meng Weihua hurriedly followed, then went to the backstage first. After coming out, he saw Zhou Andong standing outside the bar, holding a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai.

At this time, the chubby girl's second song had already ended. Zhou Andong held the Jiang Xiaobai, drinking as he walked: "Sister, lend me your guitar!"

"Huh?"

The chubby girl was stunned, then looked at Zhou Andong vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Andong said: "Singing a song!"

The chubby girl muttered to herself, this guy is borrowing my guitar to sing, he's not here to steal my job, is he?

Seeing that the chubby girl was unmoved, Chang Meng Weihua shouted: "Pan Mei, lend him your guitar."

The boss had spoken, so Pan Mei reluctantly handed the guitar to Zhou Andong: "Here, be careful, don't break it."

This girl is quite interesting, Zhou Andong chuckled, took the guitar, sat on the chair, and then, under the gaze of two or three hundred people, tilted his head and took a sip of Jiang Xiaobai.

At this moment, a young man came out from the backstage, carrying a video camera, and came to the front of the stage to start filming Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong glanced at the young man filming in surprise, but didn't ask anything, and lowered his head to tune the strings.

Below, there was a burst of whispering: "It's not time for song requests yet, why did he go up to sing?"

"Don't know, probably knows the boss."

"We have to queue to sing, he went up before the time. If the dance hall does this, breaking its own rules, it'll be finished sooner or later."

"Exactly, business is good now because everyone is supporting it, but if you break the rules yourself, who will be willing to come in the future?"

Zhou Andong couldn't hear the whispering below clearly, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

After tuning the strings, Zhou Andong tapped the microphone: "Next, I'll sing a song for everyone. I wrote it myself. If it sounds good, everyone please applaud; if it doesn't sound good, please bear with me."

As he spoke, he picked up the Jiang Xiaobai and took another sip, "Because I love drinking Jiang Xiaobai the most, I also got the inspiration for this song while drinking."

"Pfft!" In the private room, the girl sitting next to Gu Qing laughed, "At a time like this, the Chairman doesn't forget to advertise Jiang Xiaobai."

"A cup of Jiang Xiaobai, choking until tears flow. The roles of the stage, the hero never looks back. If you want to leave, I won't keep you; forced love won't last long..."

"Damn!"

Right next to the stage, at a booth, sat a group of young men. As soon as Zhou Andong opened his mouth, one of them cursed.

"Just listening to the first two lines, I got goosebumps all over."

"Sounds good!" Another long-haired young man picked up a bottle of beer and took a gulp, "Who is this guy? I can get to know him later."

The scene, which had been whispering, suddenly went quiet.

"Why drink, why worry? Drink a cup and please walk on without looking back. After midnight, at the bar entrance, I'll leave to avoid love becoming a disaster again. I say, consider yourself ruthless, using innocent eyes well; I took your lies for truth after you said them twice..."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Thunderous applause erupted, especially from Gu Qing and the others, whose palms were red from clapping. It was their first time hearing Zhou Andong sing, and they didn't expect it to be so good.

"One more!"

"One more!"

"One more!"

Cheers, whistles, and shouts for "one more" rang out in unison.

Zhou Andong raised his Jiang Xiaobai: "Do you like drinking Jiang Xiaobai?"

"Yes!" The shouts below were earth-shaking.

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Good, raise the Jiang Xiaobai in your hands, I toast you."

In an instant, the sound of people below calling waiters for Jiang Xiaobai rose one after another.

Whether they really liked drinking it or not, the atmosphere was there, so they had to drink.

In just a few minutes, almost everyone had a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai in their hands, and even some women were holding the smaller bottles.

"Cheers!" Zhou Andong raised his Jiang Xiaobai.

"Cheers!" The crowd below shouted in a roar, raising their liquor in unison.

"Damn!"

Chang Meng Weihua watched, dumbfounded, and cursed fiercely. This atmosphere was absolutely incredible.

Tang Lin said with a chuckle: "Brother Dong is Brother Dong. No matter where he is, no matter the occasion, he will always be the focus in everyone's eyes."

Zhou Andong took a sip of liquor, then scanned the crowd below: "Has everyone finished?"

"Finished!" a rough voice suddenly shouted.

Zhou Andong looked over and said with a smile: "Consider yourself ruthless!"

A burst of light laughter rang out below. Zhou Andong continued: "The song I just sang is called 'Consider Yourself Ruthless,' dedicated to this brother just now."

"One more!" It was that same rough voice again. Immediately after, a waiter ran over from that side and threw ten hundred-yuan bills onto the stage, "Table 36, Boss Zhang, one thousand!"

"Table 27, Boss Liu, three thousand!"

"Table 42, Boss Li, three thousand!"

"Table 29, Boss Bai, two thousand!"

Following that, ten-yuan and hundred-yuan bills were thrown onto the stage like snowflakes, and the calls for "one more" became increasingly loud.

Zhou Andong looked at the increasingly heated atmosphere; he couldn't refuse to sing even if he wanted to.

"Alright, then I'll sing one more for everyone."
