An hour later, the taxi stopped steadily at the door of a teahouse, Zhou Fangyuan paid the car, stepped out of the car, looked at the teahouse in front of him, checked that there was no problem with the name on it, and walked in.

There was no one in the teahouse at this time, and Zhou Fangyuan had not walked a few steps in the teahouse before someone stopped him.

"Sir, do you want tea? I'm sorry, our teahouse hasn't opened yet, why don't you wait?"

The employee who blocked Zhou Fangyuan was older than him, but he spoke very politely.

Zhou Fangyuan glanced at the other party, "I'm not here to drink tea, I'm here to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?"

The other party was even more at a loss, "I don't know who you're looking for, sir?"

"I heard, you have a small cross talk group here?"

"You're looking for them? Yes, we do have a comedy team here to perform, but are you sure you're looking for them?"

"Yes, I'm just looking for them, can I go in now?"

Zhou Fangyuan nodded and said.

"Of course, please come with me. ”

The staff didn't stop Zhou Fangyuan this time and took him inside.

Behind him, a small head probed his head to look at it a few times, and then took advantage of the staff's inattention, and followed.

Under the leadership of the staff, Zhou Fangyuan walked all the way to the teahouse, and finally met the person he was looking for in a workshop.

Guo Gang, as well as his partner next to him, later became famous and was nicknamed by many people as the queen of cross talk.

"Sir, are they what you're looking for?"

The staff member asked one last question.

"That's right, it's them. ”

Zhou Fangyuan confirmed.

"Then you talk, I won't bother you. ”

The staff was polite and walked out.

There are only a few people left in the office, Zhou Fangyuan, Guo Gang, Yu Lian, Zhang seniors with crooked shoulders, and several other partners, it is these people who founded today's "Beijing Cross Talk Conference", and in the future, it will grow and become an indispensable part of the Chinese cross talk industry, and at the same time, it has also become the main contributor to the revival of the traditional art of cross talk.

Glancing at a few people in the room, Zhou Fangyuan walked up to Guo Gang with a smile, looking at this man with these hints of greenness on his face, he stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Zhou Fangyuan." ”

"Uh, you, hello......"

Of course Guo Gang didn't know Zhou Fangyuan, Zhou Fangyuan appeared so suddenly, and he wanted to find him by name, which made him very surprised and dazed.

"Sir, you ...... Know me?"

"Of course, Mr. Guo Gang Guo, I not only know you, I also know other ......"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Fangyuan said the names of several other people, and everyone showed surprise on their faces, not understanding how Zhou Fangyuan knew them.

"I'm here today, I want to talk to you about something, of course, it's mainly with Mr. Guo, do you think it's convenient for you now? I want to talk to you alone. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

The others looked at each other, "I just happened to have something, you talk, I'll go out first." ”

Yu Qian reacted the fastest, immediately stood up, and walked out.

Others also followed suit, and half a minute later, only Guo Gang and Zhou Fangyuan were left in the office.

"Mr. Zhou, if you have anything to do with me, if you need my help, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. ”

Guo Gang said.

In fact, this is very insincere, what can he help Zhou Fangyuan? He didn't even know Zhou Fangyuan's name half a minute ago, and now he says help, it's too fake.

But this is also good, so that the topic can be smoothly introduced, and Zhou Fangyuan will not take the initiative to speak.

"Of course, I came to you, Mr. Guo, naturally there is something I need your help with......

"That, Teacher Guo is exempt, you can call me Guo Gang, Teacher Guo or something, how can I have that qualification. ”

Guo Gang scratched his head and said a little shyly.

At this time, Guo Gang was not the man who dominated the Chinese cross talk industry in later generations, and he was still very modest and low-key.

"I think you'll be qualified to do that in the future, but okay, I'll just call you by your name. ”

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head and nodded again, "Guo Gang, I am looking for you today because I want to ask you for help, you don't have to worry, it's not a big deal, to put it bluntly, I'm here to spend money." ”

"Spend money?"

"Yes, first of all, a digression, you may not know, I have liked to listen to cross talk since I was a child, but there are too few ways for me to listen to cross talk, my hometown does not even have a cross talk group, and I rarely see cross talk on TV, I can only see a little bit during the Spring Festival Gala.

It wasn't until I came to the capital for training some time ago that I heard about your team and suddenly had an idea. Now cross talk is in decline, but this traditional Chinese art should not die out like this, and someone should stand up to add some vitality to this industry. You have done a good job of this, and you have indeed brought a lot of different things to the current cross talk.

At that time, I thought that I would listen to more cross talk like this in the future. It just so happened that I heard that you have been having a hard time lately, and I thought, you have brought new vitality to the cross talk world, so I should add some nourishment to this vitality. So I'm here today to invest in your team, and I'll pay for it, set up a company, and I'll be in charge of running it and helping you promote it. And your job is to put out more good jokes, so that you don't have to worry about your livelihood in the future, and you can just focus on creating the work you want to create. ”

Zhou Fangyuan didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly explained his intentions straight to the point.

Guo Gang was completely stunned, and he couldn't imagine that Zhou Fangyuan came to him for this matter, even if he wanted to break his meninges.

"This, Mr. Zhou, of course it is good that you are willing to invest. ”

Guo Gang rubbed his hands and said with a smile, of course his current life is very difficult, although he is performing every day, but there are very few guests, and the share he gets from the teahouse is only a few dozen yuan or even a dozen yuan a day, and it is a problem for them to eat, his wife has a problem with him, and the two of them are almost divorced, and now there are people who are willing to invest, of course he is very happy.

"It's just that I don't understand, Mr. Zhou, this cross talk industry is too sluggish now, even if you invest, it's very likely that you won't be able to recover your investment, are you sure you want to invest in us?"

"Of course, why would I come? Don't worry, I still have some money in my hand, even if I lose it, it doesn't matter, I have the right to make contributions to the cause of Chinese cross talk. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded with a smile and said confidently.

"That's a good feeling, since Mr. Zhou, you are willing to invest, of course I have no problem, I am willing to accept investment. So, Mr. Zhou, how much money are you going to invest......

"This number. ”

Zhou Fangyuan stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty thousand? Fifty thousand is enough, we will hold on for ......a long time with these fifty thousand yuan."

When Guo Gang saw it, he was overjoyed, and he nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Guo, you misunderstood, what I want to invest is not 50,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan is too little, and I can't do anything at all. My plan is to invest 500,000 yuan initially. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Many, how much, five hundred thousand?!"

Guo Gang's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Zhou Fangyuan in disbelief.

And the little head that Zhou Fangyuan secretly poked out behind him was also shocked.

"That's right, this company, I am ready to invest 500,000 yuan, which belongs to the subordinate company of my media company. Of course, the 500,000 yuan is not all used for your daily expenses, you need to find a fixed performance venue and training venue, and recruit more apprentices, cross talk can't always rely on just a few of you, you have to bring this team up.

And your works can't be too bad, the requirement I give you is three works a year, as long as you can complete this task, I can give you 25% of the company's shares, 25% of 500,000, which is equivalent to more than 100,000, so Mr. Guo, you have to think about it, this decision may affect your life, and we will sign a contract at that time, I don't want you to be unhappy at that time. ”

This is the first time that Zhou Fangyuan has really taken a celebrity from the previous life under his command since his rebirth, so he is a little cautious and doesn't want to make any bullshit in the future, so he has to make it clear now if he has anything to say.

"No, no, no, how could I be unhappy...... Well, Mr. Zhou, I agree with your proposal. ”

Guo Gang shook his head, then nodded quickly.

He agreed!

Zhou Fangyuan stood up, shook hands with the other party with a smile, "Then, happy cooperation." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Guo Gang also said with a smile.

Then Zhou Fangyuan left, Yu Qian and the others came back, and when Guo Gang said that Zhou Fangyuan wanted to buy shares, and said that Zhou Fangyuan wanted to invest 500,000 yuan, everyone else laughed happily. This 500,000 means that their group can continue to survive, and they don't have to worry about eating, and everyone is naturally 100% happy.

Zhou Fangyuan was also very happy, he was smiling all the way back to the road.

Back in the dormitory, the landlord was not at home, and the landlord's son was sitting in the bedroom playing with the computer. Zhou Fangyuan went upstairs, lay on the bed for a while, felt a little bored, and decided to go to the Internet café across the road to play for a while.

This play, before he knew it, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Fangyuan felt a little hungry.

Leave the internet café and have a casual meal outside.

After eating, he began to walk back, walking, and suddenly saw a figure with long hair fluttering under the street lamp in the distance, and she was followed by two people. The more Zhou Fangyuan looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and when he got closer, he realized that the long hair fluttering under the street lamp was not Lin Yueya?

"You ...... this"

Zhou Fangyuan asked suspiciously, as soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled a strong smell of wine, and then looked at Lin Yueya, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that he had drunk too much.

Zhou Fangyuan was even more puzzled at this moment, he looked at Duan Xiao and Li Yuechao, waiting for their answers.
