Yu Zhou was indeed still in a daze, as he had no idea what their reception mode was intended for.
After all, many things might seem simple, but upon closer examination, it was quite thought-provoking for such a crucial department to receive a businessman, even a renowned one, with such specifications.
"I am Xing Yunzhou, Director of the Advertising Department at the TV station. Welcome to Ningzhou!"
"There's no special meaning. We just wanted to see Boss Yu, who has been making waves across the entire Yangtze River Delta recently. You are truly famous now!"
Xing Yunzhou spoke very eloquently, and amidst his compliments, Yu Zhou himself started to wonder if he should be feeling a bit too pleased with himself.
After all, the "Yangtze River Delta" was quite a broad term.
Strictly speaking, Zhongnan Province didn't belong to the Yangtze River Delta. You could consider it part of the region, or equally, you could consider it part of the central region.
However, the most unfortunate aspect was that Zhongnan Province didn't benefit from the economic prosperity of the Yangtze River Delta, nor did it receive benefits from the later development of central regions.
It wasn't until 10 years later that Zhongnan Province began to gradually develop. While there were certainly some supportive factors involved, its high-tech industries truly couldn't flourish just by being supported.
Nansu Province, on the other hand, was a completely different case. It had been an economically developed region even before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Later, it received focused development, and it could be said that its people were far wealthier than those in Zhongnan Province.
Perhaps in certain industries, it couldn't compare to Zhongnan Province, but in this era, broadcasting and television stations were among them.
"Director Xing, I don't deserve such praise!"
"I am merely a businessman. Even if I have some fame now, my fundamental nature hasn't changed.
"Your high-level reception makes me feel overwhelmed with gratitude and even a bit uneasy. If this continues, I might not dare to step into your Broadcasting and Television Building!"
Although Yu Zhou still had a smile on his face, his mind was already calculating.
Such specifications and circumstances, if there were nothing going on, no one would believe it.
But what exactly was the inside story? Could it be that they simply wanted to cooperate with him?
Or did they just want him to advertise on the television station?
Undeniably, broadcasting and television stations were gradually moving towards marketization, and major provincial satellite TVs indeed faced certain pressures.
However, television media, in any province, had to be controlled by the government.
They had pressure, but this pressure was absolutely no match for enterprises. Because enterprises could undergo restructuring, but there was never any talk of broadcasting and television stations being restructured.
Even some newspapers and media wouldn't participate in such industry restructurings. The government had a clear understanding of what should and shouldn't be restructured.
Therefore, even if a TV station incurred significant losses, funds would always be allocated for subsidies; it wouldn't go down the path of restructuring.
Given this, they might be eager for advertising slots, but not to this extent, right? Yu Zhou found it difficult to understand, and he was becoming increasingly vigilant.
Could there be something going on that he was unaware of?
"No, no! What special purpose could our TV station have? We just want to cooperate with Mr. Yu a few times."
Director Xing wasn't lying, but it seemed he hadn't revealed everything.
However, this aligned perfectly with Yu Zhou's current thoughts. After all, even if there was something, they would have to sit down and discuss it step by step.
Even if Yu Zhou himself wasn't particularly scheming, it was unlikely that the other party would reveal their intentions at the doorstep.
Thus, the group, in a convivial atmosphere, entered the Broadcasting and Television Building.
Regardless, looking at this landmark building, the feeling from the outside was completely different from the inside.
They arrived at the reception room, where Director Xing continued to take excellent care of them.
It was as if they were old friends. Not only had he invited other leaders from their advertising department, but he had also arranged for refreshments and pastries.
The more this was the case, the more Yu Zhou felt that the intentions of these people from the Ningzhou Broadcasting and Television station were definitely not simple.
Of course, at this moment, he was just pondering, not asking any questions.
Since they were so enthusiastic, it meant there was definitely something to discuss.
Before they spoke, Yu Zhou wasn't bothered to ask.
After all, many things, once they reached this point, already indicated that they had a request from him. Since they needed something from him, he shouldn't appear too eager, lest they think he was desperate.
"Mr. Yu, to be frank, your visit this time is a huge surprise to our Nansu Television station!"
"We previously thought that [Three Horses] Company would at most send a marketing department supervisor, and only Vice President Liang would be invited.
"We never expected you to come in the end. This has given our Nansu Television station immense prestige!"
After everyone was seated, Director Xing began to express his emotions.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Generally, Yu Zhou himself rarely handled advertising matters unless it was for CCTV. Otherwise, if every TV station required him to show up, he would have no time for anything else but advertising.
The reason he came this time was that Nansu was an economically developed province, and more importantly, Liang Xiaohai was tied up with other matters.
It was precisely this reason that led to his personal visit.
However, in the eyes of these Nansu Television station representatives, the nature of his visit changed.
Yu Zhou's personal appearance signified what? It signified that he attached great importance to this advertising contract.
Whether the so-called internal promotion meeting was for promotion or an auction, and even if Yu Zhou was the only client, these were not impossible scenarios!
Upon hearing their words, Yu Zhou's mind began to form some ideas.
Was this currently a difficult period for the Nansu Provincial Television station?
Even with his memories from his previous life, Yu Zhou couldn't be sure at this moment.
But judging by the situation, it was likely as he had guessed.
"Director Xing, let's speak directly! Our [Three Horses] company has always been very enthusiastic about advertising!"
"If possible, I also hope to forge our cooperation this time."
Yu Zhou first gave the other party some reassurance but didn't commit himself entirely.
Despite this, Director Xing's face immediately lit up with joy.
