Chapter 238: Chapter 101: Clearly even the heavens are helping me complete my mission! But how can someone still prevail over fate?_3

"Why not just merge all the shares and count them entirely within my gaming industry? I promise to be content!"

While everyone was privately discussing.

Soon, a spirited old man with white hair and a dignified face, though showing signs of age, entered with several documents in hand.

The meeting room fell silent at once.

All eyes turned toward him in unison, and voices greeted him.

"Director Tang, hello."

"Hmm, if everyone has arrived, let’s keep it short and start the meeting," said Tang Shenghua, one of the deputy directors of the China Broadcasting General Bureau, as he took a seat at the head of the roundtable meeting room and laid out the documents in his hands.

The meeting began quickly.

He succinctly announced the revenue data for the major cultural and entertainment industries for the first half of the year.

The film and television sector remained firmly at the top, with revenues reaching 647.3 billion in the first half of the year, a 13.8% increase compared to last year.

Next, the livestreaming/short video field, while not generating a significant value on its own, had led to exponential growth in derivative industries. The most noticeable change in revenue generation was the rise of new industries, mainly focused around the current mainstream trend of "sales via broadcasting."

In the first half of the year, they had reached a staggering nearly 500 billion in scale, with a remarkable increase of nearly 70% compared to last year.

If it weren’t for the neighboring e-commerce platforms being managed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which included revenue from livestream sales, that number could have been double.

Advertising took the third place.

Music and audio entertainment was in fourth place.

The gaming industry, not surprisingly, ranked fifth, being the youngest of the major cultural and entertainment industries.

Below them were smaller entertainment sectors like reading, animation, and sports events, which had too little economic impact to have dedicated official representatives and were under the direct regulation of the China Broadcasting Bureau, briefly mentioned by Tang Shenghua.

"In particular, I want to commend the livestreaming field for its growth over the past few years, which has been evident to all. I hope everyone will continue the hard work," Tang Shenghua said after summarizing the data.

Immediately, several officials in charge of livestreaming regulation puffed out their chests, sitting up even straighter.

Others looked on with envy.

The potential of this industry had not yet reached its limit; working in this field naturally promised a bright future. Who wouldn’t be envious?

The brief routine meeting concluded in less than half an hour.

Tang Shenghua picked up another document.

"A month has passed since the agricultural support initiative. Now, let’s summarize the promotional efforts made by the various cultural industries."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly focused their attention.

Many had come specifically for this purpose.

A fast-growing industry still needed to drive social impact and provide assistance to the people building society, or it would be considered nonproductive economically.

Many large tech companies received national support and green lights all the way because they offered many job opportunities and made life more convenient for the citizens.

"Hmm...since the scale of other derivative industries is too small, let’s start with the fifth place," Tang Shenghua said, well aware of why everyone had gathered and what they were eager to hear. He didn’t waste time on irrelevant data.

"The fifth place is..."

Some turned their gaze toward Chang Detai.

Chang Detai felt a bit awkward himself.

Come on...

Is the old Director directly targeting me?

The least you could do is use something like the reading culture industry to pad the numbers before me... jumping straight to the announcement without any warning...

However, just as Tang Shenghua had finished speaking.

All the expressions in the meeting room were of astonishment.

"According to backend channel data feedback, the fifth place is the advertising and media industry, with a sales volume of 5.0346 million yuan in the past month for agricultural support," announced Tang Shenghua.

Those present could estimate that this was roughly the sales volume of 200,000 to 300,000 boxes of fruits and vegetables.

But, what caused the surprise was not the numbers.

Was the advertising industry really at the bottom this time, not the gaming industry?

A sales volume of two to three hundred thousand boxes by Guangzi Brother, and it’s at the bottom of the list?

Was the gaming industry so strong that it had sold over 300,000 boxes this time?

How did they promote it?

Upon hearing the report, Chang Detai was also taken aback.

Hiss...

Our industry isn’t at the bottom?

Well, that might be promising.

But then again, even if it were 300,000 units, it would still feel awkward compared to those big brothers in the front.

Planning to ask Director Tang for more publishing licenses, he might need to maneuver a bit to nab an extra few dozen.

At that moment, Tang Shenghua spoke again.

"Fourth place is..."

This time, everyone’s gaze carried a bit of confidence.

This time, it definitely had to be the gaming industry.

"Fourth place goes to the music and audio industry, with an agricultural support sales volume of 6.7871 million yuan."

As Tang Shenghua finished speaking, the expressions of everyone there began to change.

With sales nearing seven million yuan, this amounted to nearly three to four hundred thousand boxes.

Assuming an average of three to five boxes per person, around sixty to seventy thousand people must have participated in purchasing.

This was mainly due to the influence of pop stars who could easily attract tens of thousands of fans to support charity initiatives with a simple post on their Weibo.

But the problem was,

This means that the gaming industry... on its first year participating in the agricultural support theme, went straight to third place?
