Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Chapter 96

Unlike Yang Li's slow development, Xiao Yang's Tavern has expanded rapidly.

Originally, Xiao Yang's Tavern was already a well-known online celebrity shop, and the local government also strongly supported it. After joining hands with Yang Li to suppress those public opinions last time, its popularity has expanded again.

Not to mention the county government, people from the provincial government have come here, saying that they want to support this traditional industry, giving a lot of policy convenience, and encouraging Father Yang to expand the production scale and provide more jobs. Will help purchase and promote, and strive to make the brand of Xiaoyang Tavern a famous brand.

Father Yang was frightened by the grand blueprint that the government officials said.

and many more.

He just wants to open a tavern to sell wine. Why do these people say that they can beat Moutai tomorrow and go abroad to the world the day after tomorrow?

Father Yang repeatedly emphasized the shortcomings of the machine, and the workers' unfamiliarity with the craft of brewing, etc., and repeatedly stated that he would expand the scale, but at present there is still no way to become a big fat man in one go.

Although the government officials regret that Papa Yang is not ambitious, they still understand.After all, the son is already so rich and famous, it is normal for them to want to rest.

Papa Yang heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off the government officials.When they continued talking, Father Yang felt that his blood was going to boil.

This will not work.

Wine making does not happen overnight, and if it is mechanized, it will fall into the category of new craft wine making, which is different from what Papa Yang used to do in elementary school.In this way, I can no longer check the quality of the wine, and my wish to pass on this craftsmanship will probably be discounted.

This is also the contradiction of craftsmen like them.

If you want to expand production and expand popularity, you must carry out industrialized production.What I have learned for many years, I will gradually let go of it.But if you insist on yourself, then the output will not increase, and it is destined to become a niche thing.

It has not been a day or two for Yang's father to run Xiaoyang's Tavern, and he gradually understands the difficulties.

All he can do is to be responsible to the current customers, so that the wine produced by Xiao Yang's Tavern is worthy of the trust of customers and the reputation of Xiao Yang's Tavern.

However, it is not impossible to increase the output at all.

With these apprentices, the winemaking process has saved a lot of effort, and it can increase from the original [-] bottles per month to [-] bottles.After these apprentices are skilled, it will not be difficult to double the output.

As long as these children are willing to learn, Father Yang will definitely be willing to teach, and he will not hide any secrets.

It's just that the [-] bottles added every month are just a drop in the bucket for the majority of customers.The output has increased, but many customers expressed their frustration that it is more difficult to grab wine than before. In the past, they could get it once in three times, but now it is not necessarily possible to get it once in five times.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yang's Tavern would launch a new wine every year and festival, and occasionally cooperate with the brand to produce some special flavors, it would have been unable to meet the needs of customers.

But what made Yang's father unbelievable was the profit statement submitted by the financial department.

Seeing the numbers above, Father Yang was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone.

Why...why make so much money?

After Yang Li had a meal with Zheng Wushu that he didn't know what it tasted like, he was about to start a double date when his father called.

If Zhou Ge's phone call, he would hang up, but he just confessed in front of his father a few days ago, and got a little experience in chasing people from his father. catch.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Yang Li was actually a little bit distressed about his phone bill.

"Son, the profit report for Xiao Yang's Tavern is out." Dad's voice trembled a little, which made Yang Li nervous.

Wouldn't it be a loss?

Yang Li had such an idea in his heart.

This is not impossible, after all, their house wine is not very expensive, and there are some after-sales, recruiting, paying five insurances and one housing fund for employees, etc., all of which are spent.

"It's okay, Dad. If you lose money, I'll make up for it." Yang Li recalled the numbers on his passbook, and felt that he could still afford a loss of 200 million.He doesn't have anything to spend money on now, and it won't affect him if he makes up for it.

Maybe after I finish making it up, I can still pretend to be pitiful with Mr. Zheng, such as borrowing to live in Mr. Zheng's villa or something.

Thinking about it, it seems a little nice.

"What are you thinking? We didn't lose money, and we made money." Dad couldn't laugh or cry, "We made almost 1000 million yuan."

"How much?" Yang Li's voice couldn't help rising, and he quickly covered his mouth, and quietly tilted his head to the other side, "Dad, did you lose one person? We earn about 100 million, and 1000 million is enough. It's a bit of a stretch."

Their field workers all cost money, how could they earn so much?

He is already a popular artist in the entertainment circle, and he has not earned 1000 million yet.

Of course, this is all because Yang Li's workload is not much, and he is unwilling to lower his net worth to accept endorsements, and he hardly goes to shopping malls.

Even so, Yang Li felt that he was quite a rich man.

And his impression of his family is still in the "small handmade workshop" and "poor Taobao shop".

As a result, in a blink of an eye, my father said that their tavern had made 1000 million yuan.

Never dreamed so fast!

"It's true." Father Yang repeatedly emphasized, "I've counted back and forth ten times, that's all. Didn't we agree to cooperate with a beauty brand before, and the cost of the cooperation alone was 300 million. There seems to be a sum of money in the follow-up, which we have not counted."

When the accountant handed in the form, the whole person was moaning and sighing, which made Yang's father almost think that the accountant sighed because of the loss.

Who would have thought that making so much money is still sighing?

The finance is dispatched from Shen Jiu's game company to help, 1000 million is just the turnover of their game company for a week, this little money from the Yang family is nothing at all.From a financial point of view, as long as the Yang family is willing to increase the price of wine, doubling the profit is not a problem at all.

A bottle of wine only costs [-] yuan and includes free shipping, the price is too low.

Good wine from abroad costs tens of thousands a cup!

How can you make a lot of money if you are not greedy?

Yang Li was a little stunned.

Will the dream of earning tens of millions a year come true a little too quickly?

Why is the wine at home selling so well?Is it too late for him to go back and inherit the family business now?This was Yang Li's first thought.

The second thought is that I can choose a job openly.

Well, not bad for money now.

"Son, how do you think the money will be spent?" Father Yang was very melancholy, "I originally wanted to buy a car, but later found out that neither your mother nor I have a driver's license. Let's buy a house, we don't live here, other jewelry bags Bags or something, your mother said that it takes a lot of work, the Hermes bag you bought for your mother last time was taken out by her every day to hold five cents a catty of bean sprouts."

When I had no money, I thought about how to spend the money I made every day.Now that he has money, Papa Yang realizes that he doesn't seem to know how to spend money anymore.

He doesn't have much pursuit of material things.

Wearing watches and rings will only delay my own wine making, and I prefer to eat my wife's cooking when I eat.Oh, what has changed a little is that they used to buy apples and pears that cost a few dollars a catty, but now they can buy cherries that cost hundreds of dollars a catty.

But how much does it cost to eat?

"This... Dad, wait a minute. I happen to be with Mr. Zheng. I'll ask him for you. I'll call you later."

"Row."

Yang Li hung up the phone and told Zheng Wushu about his and his father's troubles.

He was worried that he couldn't find a topic to chat with Zheng Wushu.

If he kept chatting about eating and drinking, it would do too much damage to his image.

"Isn't your family a wine maker?" Zheng Wushu has never heard of someone who can't spend money. Spending money should be very simple, but seeing Yang Li's serious question, Zheng Wushu had no choice but to answer seriously. he.

"That's right, the tools for brewing wine don't cost much." Yang Li nodded.

"You can have a competition or an exchange meeting." Zheng Wushu thought for a while and said, "Many people who like to drink should have some wine in their homes, and there must be domestic ones as well as foreign ones. As far as I know, they like to collect all kinds of wine. There are not a few rich people in red wine."

Those rare red wines are bought by hundreds of thousands or millions of bottles.

"You can spend a sum of money to hold this exchange meeting, invite those who also have wine-making skills but are not well-known, and those famous people who are keen to collect good wine, build a platform for both parties, and even ask the government to come forward and hold It is an official friendly exchange meeting. Those famous people may not be interested in your family's bonus, but they hope to use it to find other capable people. In this way, it will also greatly improve your family's reputation benefit."

This is three birds with one stone.

At that time, no matter the people participating in this exchange meeting or the Yang family themselves, they will all be able to benefit from such activities.

If there are officials to join, after the exchange meeting has been held for several times and has become famous, different sponsors will come, and it may become a grand event across the world.

As long as there is word-of-mouth, enthusiasm, and force, such an exchange meeting will not be impossible at all.

Xiao Yang Tavern wants to get rid of the "Internet celebrity" model and go to the high end. Holding such an event is beneficial and harmless.

On the one hand, the Yang family's wine-making skills have been officially certified, and the Yang family is well-known in this industry. If they come forward to organize such an event, those with craftsmanship will be more willing to believe it; If there are resources in the circle, it can guarantee the topic and popularity, and can attract different capital injections; if there is official support, it can give the event a halo, and it can also avoid those small tricks in the dark.

The time, place, and people are favorable, and Yang Li's family already occupies more than half of them. It is much more convenient to hold such an event than ordinary people.

"It's still like this?" Yang Liguang felt that such an activity would bring a lot of benefits to his family.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it must not be so easy in the early stage." Zheng Wushu smiled, "But you are an artist, and you already have resources in the entertainment industry. If you invite a few friends to participate, at least you will gain popularity from the outside world."

If Yang Li is nothing, he may still need to solicit sponsors everywhere, etc., but Yang Li himself is already an artist with his own topic flow. If he works well, I am afraid that stars will scramble to participate.

In this day and age, topic is king.

"In addition, didn't you want to do charity before? You can also use this exchange meeting to do on-site fundraising and so on. For example, your family sells some limited edition wine, and all the money from the sale is used for charity, which is a gimmick With a good reputation, your own burden will not be so heavy." Zheng Wushu continued to suggest, "You can do very little for charity alone, and you don't have so much time, but you can build such a platform If you do, then there are a lot of things you can do.”

It just takes some time to do something like this.

Even if it is held once a year, it will probably take several times to spread the reputation of this exchange meeting.

But if you think about it carefully, the country should be very supportive of such activities.

After all, wine culture is also a traditional culture, so what is the difference between such an exchange meeting and those so-called silk festivals and ceramic festivals?

If Yang Li can bring attention to this kind of activity, the state may be willing to support it.

With official support, everything is easy to do.

Yang Li has been completely convinced by Zheng Wushu, and he can't wait to call back and talk to his father about it.

But soon, Yang Li calmed down.

As Mr. Zheng said, it is impossible for them alone to accomplish such a thing.He can bring Master Zhang and Master Shen in, and he also has to pull sponsors from the state-owned wine companies to let them join in, but he must still take the lead, otherwise he will make wedding dresses for others .

Only when all kinds of capital enter and reach a relatively balanced point can this activity continue in an orderly manner.At that time, even if someone's cake is moved, the people who participated in this event will also contribute to this event.

Yang Li couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Mr. Zheng, it's really a pity that you came to be an actor." Yang Li looked at Zheng Wushu and couldn't help but said, "If Mr. Zheng, you go into business, you might be a famous and rich man now."

"Then do you think I'm poor now?" Zheng Wushu looked at Yang Li with a funny face.

Uh……

Thinking of Teacher Zheng handing out 100 million red envelopes at random, the word poor should never be associated with Zheng Wushu.

Zhou Cheng also said that Zheng Wushu's net worth is unimaginable, at least not comparable to that of a young artist like Yang Li who has just become popular.

"What you know and what you want to do are two different things." Zheng Wushu said indifferently, "You can also make wine, but aren't you also an actor? When the material life reaches a certain level, everyone will work hard to pursue it. Something that makes me happier. For me, acting is what makes me happy."

Zheng Wushu and Yang Li looked at each other, and continued: "Of course, it's also good to chat with you now."

Yang Li cleared his throat, concealing his excitement.

Ah ah ah Teacher Zheng said that he is very happy to be with me!

There is no difference between rounding and confession.

Yang Li and Zheng Wushu were quite happy shopping, and they stopped to take photos with some fans who recognized them and signed them, but they fled immediately before the crowds arrived.

Back at the hotel at night, Yang Li didn't dare to bother Zheng Wushu anymore, after all they were tired from shopping during the day.

Yang Li pulled in a video group, including Duan Chi, Shen Jiu, Father Yang, and masters Zhang and Shen.

Fortunately, everyone has time at night.

Yang Li was half proud and half ostentatious and told everyone about his tavern earning 1000 million, and then pretended to be distressed and said Zheng Wushu's suggestion.

While showing off that the family can make money, at the same time showing off the intelligence of my sweetheart.

very good!

Yang Li chuckled inwardly for a long time, and was already looking forward to how these people would feel when they found out that he was with Mr. Zheng and realized that this was a secret dog food.

Duan Chi has been working hard in the entertainment industry these days. When he participated in the reality show, he became popular because he took care of the girls. His work has gone much smoother than before.

The relationship between Yang Li and him has not changed because of other things. Duan Chi seems to have noticed something, and secretly shared some chasing skills with Yang Li.

Yang Li pulled Duan Chi in because Duan Chi's father had held many receptions and knew many celebrities in this field, and his connections were still very strong.

After hearing the suggestion relayed by Yang Li, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"...Little Lili, no wonder your boss is your boss, this brain is more flexible than ours." Duan Chi couldn't help sighing, "I heard that Zheng Wushu is especially good at investing and making money, and I thought it was bragging at first. "

Now that I think about it, this businessman has a great mind, maybe he got the halo of the God of Wealth in his previous life.

"That's great." Duan Chi said with a smile, "If my dad knew, he would be happy to bring friends to participate. He and his drinking buddies are always yelling that the wine is bad. It’s too difficult to get good wine, but I can’t find time to put down my business and look for good wine.”

With such an exchange meeting, they can further expand their circle and discover those winemakers with good craftsmanship.

Maybe you can expand your business.

The wine table is a business table, there is no need to separate it so far.

The so-called banquets and the so-called activities are all based on various interests.But the so-called celebrities sometimes value such a good name that can't be eaten or drunk.

Duan Chi knew very well how much benefit such an event could bring if it was held well, and naturally he was even more grateful to Yang Li for pulling him in.

Sure enough, the old man was right, making a good friend can save years of struggle.

Shen Jiu is also very interested in this kind of activity: "If capital is needed, I can recruit several game parties to join."

Their new game production company will definitely not lose to other companies in terms of money. A good game can continuously bring them benefits.But also because they rise too fast, the foundation is not so solid.

It would be a good thing for them if they could get to know more people through such a reception.

Papa Yang and masters Zhang and Shen simply listened to what their young people had to say.

They haven't thought about this aspect, and they don't know how to prepare for such an event.

Young people have one set of ideas, and they really have no way to keep up.

What they can do is probably to provide good wine, and as a consultant for this event, provide some guidance for those wine craftsmen who are willing to participate in this type of event, or serve as judges for the selection.

This could already form the core of this activity.

Because of the presence of these wine masters, those who are passionate about wine will come one by one.

"To hold such an event can't be done overnight, we have to make preparations in the early stage." Shen Jiu thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to my friends first, and ask them to send some people to help. I don’t really understand what’s going on, so you can figure it out.”

"Okay, I'll have a good discussion with Mr. Zheng after filming "Half a Century"." Yang Li readily agreed.

"I'll go back and talk to my dad." Duan Chi touched his nose, "I think if this is done, even if I don't make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, it will be enough for my old man to brag about me for the rest of my life. .”

Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!

"Dad, Master Zhang, and Master Li, didn't we meet many masters when we participated in the recording of "Special China" last time?" Yang Li thought for a while and continued, "You should all have connections with those expert groups way."

After all, Dad and the experts are of the same generation, and they are more in tune with each other when chatting.The experts have no contact with Yang Li and others, but they have been in contact with their parents.

"Yes, yes." Dad hesitated for a moment, "But take your time, what if you invite so many people and it doesn't work out in the end?"

"It would be even better if all these masters can be invited here." Yang Li smiled, "Dad, you don't know, if all the people we mentioned can come, just hand in the plan and the list of people present , the government will set aside a special venue for us to do this. At that time, it will not be easy for this event to fail."

A grand event that brings together celebrities, well-known business owners, government officials and top masters in the wine culture industry, just by making a name for itself, it will attract the envy of many people.

Such an event, even if Yang Li and the others allow it to fail, the people participating in this event will not let it fail!

It's just the preparation in the early stage, which will take about a while, but this kind of preparation is what they are willing to do.

However, Yang Li felt that he could already see the road ahead clearly.

Perhaps, the career at home has developed more smoothly than the path he took in the entertainment industry.

It was like being caressed by the hand of Lady Luck.

After Yang Li withdrew from the video group, he lay on the quilt alone and laughed uncontrollably.

If there really is a goddess of luck in his life, then the name of this goddess must be "Zheng Wushu".
