Chapter 472: Sainty Entertainment Company
"Is this Mr. Song? Truly a young talent indeed!"
"Mr. Song, hello, I am the owner of ctb Entertainment Group, it's an honor to meet you!"
"Mr. Song is a handsome man, even I, who have seen so many handsome men and beautiful women, can't help but sigh, Mr. Song is really too handsome!"
These people knew that behind Tianyu there was a mysterious major shareholder, who usually kept out of the limelight, so they knew very little about Song Yun.
However, Song Yun's reputation was well-known to them; after all, Song Yun was the richest man in Magic Capital, with assets that included not only Tianyu but also many multinational conglomerates!
Therefore, these entertainment industry moguls unconsciously lowered their heads in front of Song Yun.
"Boss Song, this is Mr. Yu, the owner of the Tian'ai Entertainment Group."
"This is Mr. Li, who started from scratch and created Dream Factory Entertainment Group, now ranking among the top five in the entire circle!"
"This is..."
Lu Guan began to introduce these peoples' identities to Song Yun one by one, and in a short time, there were more than twenty people gathered around Song Yun.
"Heh, Tianyu does have quite a presence, becoming the protagonist as soon as you enter."
A sarcastic male voice came from outside the crowd.
The crowd was a bit startled upon hearing this, and they quickly turned to look.
A very thin man with several female companions walked over, his eyes carrying a hint of hostility toward Song Yun.
"Boss Song, he's Zhou Le, the owner of Sainty Entertainment!"
Lu Guan explained to Song Yun in a low voice, "Sainty Entertainment currently ranks first, and we have conflicts with them in business."
Song Yun finally understood upon hearing this; it wasn't surprising, as cutting off someone's financial path is like killing their parents, not to mention the market share scuffles between two large companies!
This is capitalism and business, wishing the rival's company would go bankrupt in the next second, so that one could monopolize the entire market!
But this is the National Entertainment Summit!
All the big shots gathered, and even if they are archenemies, they should put on some appearance of civility, right?
Coming in with such direct opposition was a bit strange.
"Boss Zhou, the face of Tianyu has been built up by colleagues, and also our reputation outside. Unlike some companies that want to meddle in everything, and especially unlike some companies whose female celebrities sue their own boss for sexual harassment!"
Lu Guan said with a cold laugh.
The other party had already attacked right to their doorstep; if he didn't say a few words, perhaps everyone present would clearly see Tianyu's real face behind closed doors.
Sure enough, Zhou Le's face suddenly turned beet red at these words!
Although Lu Guan didn't mention anyone by name, every word was clearly about him!
After all, under his leadership, Sainty Entertainment had been expanding aggressively, devouring many benefits that should have belonged to others.
Don't think those small companies dare not say anything; in fact, they're secretly clenching their fists, wishing they could give Zhou Le a slap!
As for the second matter, it had become a laughingstock!
They were all big shots in the entertainment industry; who knew the circles' situations better than them?
Plus, this circle never lacked handsome men and beautiful women; with mutual affections, it was normal for things to happen.
But Zhou Le hit a snag earlier this year when he invested in a rap show with a girl who was youthful, attractive, and exuded a wild vibe, which suddenly made Zhou Le feel the need to have a taste!
After negotiations, he successfully signed the girl, but three months later, the girl suddenly took the evidence to court, accusing Zhou Le of harassing her!
The matter could have been big or small, but in the end, Zhou Le paid a large sum of money for an out-of-court settlement.
But...
This matter has already spread!
His reputation in the circle has been tainted!
After all, it's better to be known than to be caught red-handed!
"Lu Guan, I see that your Tin Entertainment has been in the limelight recently! Next year's market share should be decent, right?"
Zhou Le said with a gloomy face.
The people around him also changed their expressions slightly upon hearing this.
After all, the market is only so big; if you eat more, I have to eat less.
Tin Entertainment, backed by Song Yun, has abundant funds, so it can invest in dozens of TV dramas and movies all at once, stretching its battle lines very long.
But it was different for the others; the financial strain was always a pain in their hearts. They could only cautiously choose a few well-reputed projects to invest in, and even then, they would lose sleep at night, out of fear of losing money!
"We at Tin Entertainment never covet what we shouldn't eat,"
Lu Guan stated calmly, "Tin Entertainment will only dig deep within its own patch of land, and next year, we plan to expand aggressively into overseas markets."
These words stunned Zhou Le, as if Lu Guan had slapped him hard in the face!
Are you saying that Tin Entertainment is too big and obstructive? Well, I'm not playing with you anymore; I'm going off to break into overseas markets!
You can keep wallowing in this mess!
Many of the bosses from small and mid-sized entertainment companies were secretly pleased at this.
"Tin Entertainment truly is a benchmark in the industry, we deeply admire that courage!"

"Yes, yes! Lu, I'm so envious of you, having Mr. Song backing you up. Why couldn't I have had such good fortune back then?"
"Hahaha, you go ahead and forge the path, Lu. We'll follow right behind you!"
The flattery made Zhou Le clench his teeth in anger. Damn it! You bastard have really outmaneuvered me!
Even though Tin Entertainment isn't ranked as high as your Sainty Entertainment, they are willing to spend a lot of money to break new ground. And you Sainty Entertainment? You have the nerve to steal our rice bowl?
Just as Zhou Le was wrestling with whether or not to declare that Sainty Entertainment would also expand overseas, and maybe invest a little money to show their intent, a commotion erupted outside the door.
The next second, a young man, surrounded by a throng, entered the venue.
Seeing this young man, Zhou Le's face lit up with joy.
"Hmph, Lu Guan, you'd better not say anything out of line in front of Mr. Xin, otherwise, even Tin Entertainment might see its domestic market share harshly sliced off next year!"
Zhou Le said with a sneer.
Lu Guan's expression shifted slightly; Song Yun, though very wealthy and known as the richest man in Magic Capital, still recognized that relationships were crucial in the entertainment industry, and having money didn't always do the trick.
This Mr. Xin, however, was a key figure. His father was widely recognized as a mogul in the entertainment industry, with many disciples, all with deep mentor-student relationships.
If they were to fall out with Mr. Xin, just a few words from his father could likely lead many top directors to refuse to work with Tin Entertainment.
The losses for Tin Entertainment wouldn't be small!
Since Mr. Xin's arrival, the businessmen who had originally surrounded Song Yun swarmed toward him.
The other side responded with a smile, exchanging pleasantries, until he finally reached Zhou Le.
