Chapter 13
Peng Chen just casually mentioned the matter of writing rap, but the details have to be discussed in the long term, so she and Jiang Siyan didn't talk about it in detail on the phone.
The main reason she called Jiang Siyan today was to pay back the fifty thousand yuan she owed Jiang Siyan with interest.
A mere 50,000 yuan is nothing to Jiang Siyan, so Jiang Siyan didn't take it to heart at all. Hearing the words, he said casually: "Don't rush to pay it back. If you need money, you can take it first. Anyway, I don't care about it. Don't be in a hurry."
Peng Chen felt that the favor owed to Jiang Siyan was not good, so he hurriedly wanted to pay back Jiang Siyan's money. But judging by Jiang Siyan's attitude, 50,000 yuan might really be nothing to him. But it's understandable when you think about it carefully. After all, nowadays many artists can easily record a variety show or shoot an advertisement, and their salary can be tens of millions. What's more, Jiang Siyan is not an ordinary artist. Naturally, the worth is even more different.
Thinking about it this way, Peng Chen simply didn't insist too much: "Then I won't pay it back for now?" Jiang Siyan
said lightly: "Yeah!"
If there is a chance, I must do some small business. But the original owner had no money at that time, so she could only think about it. Now Jiang Siyan didn't need her to pay back the money, so her desire to invest in business became active again. After all, having traveled so many times through books, if you want to say what Peng Chen's biggest insight is, it boils down to one thing - you can have nothing, but you can't be without money!
But what to do?
Peng Chen sincerely asked Jiang Siyan for advice.
Because Peng Chen remembered Dahai said before that Jiang Siyan seemed to be a well-known investment boss in the circle. Although Peng Chen also did business when he was wearing books before, but books are different, so you can't go wrong if you ask more.
Jiang Siyan heard that she wanted to invest, but he didn't hide anything. He gave her advice seriously: "It depends on how much capital you have. If you have enough capital, you can consider investing in movies. Recently, I have a few The script is not bad. If you are interested, I can send it to you. If the capital is average and you don’t like investing in movies, you can also consider investing in wineries or the catering industry. I see that there are some in the circle. Few people invest in restaurants, such as hot pot restaurants, Japanese food stores, Thai restaurants, bars...Anyway, anyone who is interested can try it."
Peng Chen felt guilty for a moment: "Mine, the capital is a little bit small."
Jiang Siyan thought in his heart Suddenly I had a bad premonition: "Don't tell me that all your capital is the 50,000 yuan you plan to pay back to me!"
Peng Chen: "That's not true. I have almost 100,000 yuan in my hand now! But you Don't worry, I'll have more than 100,000 yuan in my hands when the drama channel's programs are finished." Jiang Siyan: "What investment can more than 100,000 yuan
do, just keep it as pocket money!" After finishing
speaking, he hung up neatly He got on the phone without hesitation for a minute or a second.
Peng Chen: "..." In the
end, Dahai gave Peng Chen a reasonable idea: "... 50,000 yuan is indeed a bit small, but we can do some small business first, such as getting a chicken Chop shop or Chuan Chuan Xiang. Sister, let me tell you, don’t look down on those chicken chop shops on the side of the road. A relative in my family owns a fried chicken shop. The shop is small and the rent is not expensive. It seems to be only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and then the franchise fee costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and a machine for fried chicken cutlets. This is the entire principal. Every month, the ingredients and sauces are from the supplier. Supply, there is no need to ask for help in the store, just my relatives and couple can handle it. Anyway, after deducting the cost a month, I can earn 30,000 to 50,000 when the business is poor, and it will be even worse when the business is good. A monthly income of 100,000 yuan is not a dream!"
As Dahai said, he overturned his own thoughts: "No, no, chicken chops are still not good, it seems a little unpleasant to say it."
Peng Chen gave Dahai a faint look. , said earnestly: "Da Hai, what age is this, why are you still engaging in occupational discrimination?"
Dahai: "Sister, I'm not discriminating against occupations. Think about it, just like you, you can't be Xishi-level! You're going to open a fried chicken shop, and when your business grows, everyone will call you chicken chops." Xi Shi, do you think this sounds good?"
Peng Chen: "What's wrong with Chicken Chop Xi Shi, doesn't it sound better than Green Tea Princess and Vase Queen?"
When Peng Chen said the word "green tea", his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, I can invest in a milk tea shop. The name is ready-made, so I just call it 'Green Tea Princess', what do you think?"
Dahai: "...???"
Sister Peng is indeed an investment genius!
Just do what you say, Peng Chen asked Dahai to start looking for a suitable store that day. It is said that a good site selection is half the success of the business. It can be seen that the location is still very important.
But anyway, Peng Chen doesn't have much work recently, and the contract signed with the opera channel will only start next week, so she has enough time to slowly prepare for the milk tea shop with Dahai. Peng Chen has traveled through books more than a dozen times before, and has done countless jobs, but it is really the first time to open a milk tea shop. Fortunately, although she has never opened a milk tea shop, she has drunk milk tea from more than a dozen worlds in the book, and she has read a farming article called "There Are People Deep in the White Clouds". In that world, she has grown tea , Picked tea, also sold tea. So for the study of tea, she went a little deeper than ordinary people. Although tea is not exactly the same as milk tea, Peng Chen is very clear about how to make tea that tastes good, so now she only needs to find a special milk tea master, follow the taste in her memory, and make those she likes to drink The tastes are restored in this world one by one, and then improved. For Peng Chen's milk tea shop, everything went very smoothly from the location selection to the decoration, to the preparation and confirmation of the menu and drinks. During this period, she also took the time to record a program on the opera channel - "A Date with Cross Talk". "A Date with Crosstalk" is a column dedicated to crosstalk on the Chinese Opera Channel. In each issue, several cross talk actors will be invited to tell the audience a few cross talks.
Peng Chen also didn't have a partner, so when he went to record the show, he also prepared stand-up comedy.
It was a pair of master and apprentice who recorded "A Date with Crosstalk" with Peng Chen. The master's name is Wang Jinlong, and the apprentice's name is Pang Feng.
Wang Jinlong is an old man, he is short and stocky, and he looks a bit like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles. Apprentice Pang Feng was tall and thin, with a small face and small eyes, and stood in front of people in a coat, looking like a piece of clothing hanging on a bamboo pole.
Standing together, the two people have obvious contrast in body shape, which makes people laugh a bit.
Mr. Wang Jinlong actually has his own regular partner, and he came to record this "Crosstalk Date" today purely to praise his apprentice. Otherwise, at his age, how could he still join in the fun with young people.
Mr. Wang is an old senior, and Director Hai respects him very much, so he greeted the old man early before the recording of the program, saying that a female artist who crossed over from an actor to a cross-talk circle will be added to the program this time, and I also specially showed the old man the cross talk "Apprentice" and "Rumour-mongering Be Yourself" that Peng Chen had performed before.
But all the real seniors are very welcome to the newcomers who really love cross talk. Therefore, Mr. Wang naturally welcomes Peng Chen's joining.
On the contrary, Pang Feng, the old man's apprentice, was very disapproving of Peng Chen's rash joining.
What can a woman say about cross talk? Nonsense!
With such inherent prejudice, Pang Feng didn't even lift his eyelids when he saw Peng Chen in the recording studio. Even when Peng Chen took the initiative to greet Mr. Wang, Pang Feng responded with a nasal sound between "um" and "hum" from his nostrils.
Peng Chen didn't care too much about Pang Feng's attitude.
After all, when he was just learning cross talk, he had never seen such a cold face, and was even knocked off the stage by the audience, so this kind of prejudice was completely irrelevant to Peng Chen.
At 6 o'clock, the program started recording on time.
The host first grandly introduced tonight's guest lineup, and then under the thunderous applause of the audience, Mr. Wang Jinlong, Pang Feng and Peng Chen lined up to play in turn.
The host indicated to the three of them to introduce themselves one by one.
Start with Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang is a cross talk artist of the older generation, but his words are humble and humorous at the same time, so he won the favor of everyone when he opened his mouth: "Hi everyone, my name is Wang Jinlong, and I am a newcomer in the cross talk world. Why is it called such a name? What? Because I belong to the dragon, and the five elements are short of money, so my family named me Jinlong."
The audience didn't have much reaction, a little dull.
So Peng Chen answered subconsciously: "Then you shouldn't be called Wang Jinlong, you should be called Wang Queqianlong."
Mr. Wang gave Peng Chen an approving look, and continued unhurriedly: "That's not okay, I I'm afraid people will misunderstand me and think my name is Wang Que Delong."
At this moment, all the audience were overjoyed.
Even the host on the side couldn't help laughing.
The place was completely heated up.
Only Pang Feng, who was standing between the master and Peng Chen, looked bewildered.
How did he remember that he was the master's fan? Why in the story of three people, the one who didn't have a name at the end was him who was so serious?
This unscientific! ! !
For today's program, Peng Chen specially prepared two new cross talks. Of course, the so-called new cross talk is also aimed at the audience in this world. In the world where she was dressed as a cross talk actor before, she has already said these cross talk countless times, so it is just a random thing to say.
Many of the audience were elderly people, and they didn't know much about Peng Chen. At most, they thought that the girl looked young and pretty, but they didn't expect that she could speak well in cross talk. But as an expert Mr. Wang, the more he listened, the more strange he became. After the recording of the show was over, he even took the initiative to wait for Peng Chen in the background, and then had a long talk with Peng Chen. Before the end, he said to Pang Feng in front of Peng Chen: "You are all young people. Communication, especially you, must learn more from Teacher Peng."
Pang Feng swallowed his anger and said: "...Okay."
Peng Chen smiled: "Good boy!"
