Falling out of love is quite exciting.

After Lao Zhao fell out of love, he lay down in the piano shop for a week, drank 56 degrees of Niulanshan Erguotou wine every day, fried peanuts, and cried while chewing. A week later, he was almost out of shape.

Lao Zhao packed a few clothes, got on the train, and returned to his parents' house in the small county town to seek warmth.

He was 31 years old. Standing in the dusty streets of a small town, I heard the noisy Internet songs in the copycat clothing store in my ears, as if I was looking at my distant childhood. The classmates who stayed in their hometown in the past lived a plain and moist life, and the children would play soy sauce.

Small county town with no place of its own.

Lao Zhao has fantasized countless times about being a band, releasing albums, making money, returning to his hometown, and taking his parents to the bustling Jiangdong City, so that they can have a better material life. But now, he had nothing but scars and exhaustion on his face.

He was the only son in the family. When his parents saw him looking so bad, they were angry and distressed, and after complaining about the cruel daughter-in-law-to-be, they began to do something according to the logic of their parents.

The first is to ask someone to find a job for Lao Zhao.

The second is to entrust people to introduce objects to Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao is unwilling to be at the mercy of his parents and lives a life day after day. He slept in his hut for 2 days and fled back to Koto in a hurry. At this time, the pain of falling out of love is even more intense, and it can no longer be suppressed.

In those bad movies, the protagonist will go on a trip after falling out of love, to a strange place to indulge his soul. Lao Zhao also wants to travel. But his income is only enough for food and clothing, and Mu has enough money. Lao Zhao pledged his black and white piano shop in exchange for 50,000 yuan.

He decided to follow in his girlfriend's footsteps and travel to the East.

Unfortunately, as soon as he left the airport, he lost his wallet. Passports, ID cards, and bank cards are all available.

Double happiness is coming.

In 1980, Axl Rose, the lead singer of the Gunslinger Band, was only 18 years old when he was traveling to New York with friends and got off the bus in a remote area. There was chaos there, Jamaicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans...... Only the two of them are white. An old black man yelled angrily at them.

"Where do you think you're here? It's the jungle! You're going to die!"

Later, he was inspired to write a famous song, "Welcome to the Jungle."

Lao Zhao also came to the jungle, he was very hungry, and he didn't know anyone. Soon, he lived the life of a wanderer, sleeping on the overpass in Shinjuku, and before long, he didn't know himself anymore.

Actually, Lao Zhao didn't know that his girlfriend was nearby.

Immersing yourself in negative emotions can also experience a hint of hidden happiness. Lao Zhao's heart is sensitive and childish. He is very willful and unscrupulously spoils himself.

Humans can be twisted into anything by the hand of fate. Lao Zhao really doesn't care anymore, being alive has become an endless performance art. For 2 whole months, he didn't say a word, too lazy to say.

So, when Fang Yan appeared in front of him, he found that he had evolved a magical skill: to speak to him in silence without saying a word.

"Old Zhao?" Fang Yan asked.

"Wizard, stone. I didn't expect to meet you here. Lao Zhao thought in his heart.

Channing kicked him in the chest.

"Fight, if you want to fight, you can fight. A little girl would dare to hit me. He lay on the ground and thought, feeling like a rotting cantaloupe.

Fang Yan handed Lao Zhao a 5,000 yen note.

"Thank you. Actually, I don't need money. I'm fine with that, didn't you notice? Lao Zhao thought, his thoughts were like an origami boat, drifting farther and farther in the air.

Pan Xi took him home, cut off his dirty long hair directly, shaved his beard, and bathed him for a few hours, and Lao Zhao became like a dog again.

"I've always been a burden to you. I could have given you a good life. If you do it again. I'll be sure to ...... again," he thought silently.

Sleeping on the floor of Pan Xi's humble small room for 60,000 yen a month, Lao Zhao felt that he was not comfortable sleeping on the overpass.

By the time Fang Yan came to see him with a bunch of food, Lao Zhao was already much more normal.

"Thank you. He spoke.

“……”

Fang Yan found that Lao Zhao's mess was very difficult to clean up. First, his documents are gone, and when he goes to the embassy to reapply for a tourist permit, the service attitude of people is very bad, like the style of a chubby waitress in a state-run store in the 1990s.

The embassy said that Lao Zhao must prove that he is Lao Zhao.

That night, Fang Yan invited Tang Jie, a mysterious Chinese person, to dinner and asked him to help Lao Zhao reapply for a travel permit, so that he could buy a ticket to return to China. Tang Jie happily agreed.

"It's not a problem. I know the people at the embassy very well. ”

Second, Lao Zhao owed 50,000 Huaxia yuan to a not-so-formal loan company, and if he didn't pay the money, the black and white piano store would be taken away.

Fang Yan and Tang Jie had dinner, returned to the hotel, held an impromptu meeting with Yuan Yuan and them, and expressed their thoughts.

"I discussed it with Zhenyu. Directly help him pay back the money, definitely not. Lao Zhao's self-esteem is so strong, and he is much older than me, he can't accept it. ”

"Definitely. ”

Fang Yan said: "Our company also has money now, can you invest in his piano shop? ”

Uncle Qin Yun invested 1 million US dollars, and the actual arrival of 300,000 US dollars only cost a small amount. Moreover, the company still has more than 5 million cash on selling T-shirts. It's easy to invest in a small piano shop.

Fang Yan had a general idea. Decorate the house, sell the old goods cheaply, buy them from some musical instrument agents, and help Lao Zhao do some publicity by himself, he should be able to make some money, and it is unlikely to lose money.

Piano shop.

Yuan Yuan looked at the ceiling and recalled the scene of that trip to the black and white piano shop: the dimly lit small room was full of cheap acoustic guitars and electric guitars, the sad old Zhao, and a fleshy little girl learning the piano.

"Let's make guitars!" she said.

"Huh?"

"Uncle Lu can do guitar. He did so well that he must have been popular. ”

Fang Yan shook his head and explained: "He makes a handmade piano, little by little, which is very expensive. The kind of customized high-end classical piano we made for Xiaopang, he can only make one or two pieces a year. ”

"Oh. ”

Yuan Yuan began to be in a daze again. She thought about the big wolf dog rhubarb, the rooster and the big flower in Lu Dacheng's yard, and the guitar embryo hanging in the studio.

"I see!"

"Huh?"

"You asked Uncle Lu to design a guitar. It's not expensive, the kind that can be produced in the factory, and a lot of it can be made at once, let's sell it. Yuan Yuan stretched out his little hand and gestured in the air, drawing an arc-shaped guitar shape.

“……”

"There are a lot of factories that make musical instruments. Let's find a good factory. ”

This idea is grossly unreliable. The manufacture of musical instruments is a highly subdivided developed industry, bottomless, materials, design, production, major manufacturers have monopoly technical barriers. This market is very cruel, and to enter it is to lose all your money.

And it's not necessary. Fang Yan's original intention was just to help Lao Zhao and let him get back on his feet.

"I think ......," Feng Lu whispered.

"Huh?"

Yuan Yuan was right. ”

“……”

"Makes sense. Channing also said.

"You?"

"Just like making a T-shirt, you have to have your own core product. Otherwise, you help Lao Zhao to do publicity, but in fact, you are advertising those big musical instrument brands for free, which is not conducive to the development of the company. Channing said.

"It's not that easy to make an instrument, it's too hard. ”

"Not really!"

“……”

Yuan Yuan's childish little face became very serious and said, "We can do that...... Very cheap guitar. It's expensive, it's too powerful, we can't beat it, so we won't fight them. ”

"Well, we don't compete with the big players. Channing said. "Our brand positioning is clear, to make only one guitar suitable for beginners, the price is cheap, but in the same price range, the best quality. ”

Fang Yan understood. This is the same as Yang Zhenyu's crazy review, not failing the exam, he concentrates on reviewing the most basic knowledge, and the goal is only 60 points.

Feng Lu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Now the influence of "Huaxia Singer" is very great, and many middle school students have watched the show and started to buy guitars and learn music......

It's a huge market.

Making an entry-level guitar is certainly not going to make as much money as a T-shirt. But it doesn't matter, you don't have to lose money. Fang Yan suddenly felt that this matter was very meaningful.

After he was going to return to China, he would discuss this idea with Brother Lu. For now, let's solve Lao Zhao first.

"Fang Yan. ”

"Hmm. ”

"I know you want to help Lao Zhao, but as the person in charge of the company, I still have to remind you. Qian Ning leaned back in his chair, sat down more comfortably, and said helplessly. "Lao Zhao...... He is a person who has no value to invest in. ”

"Now he's not. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Lao Zhao now has a goal. There's a rush. ”

Lao Zhao's third trouble is that his girlfriend Pan Xi refuses to return to China. Pan Xi finally settled down in Yueben, and his life was hard, but there was still hope. Unexpectedly, just on the right track, Lao Zhao appeared again. She was pitiful and hateful, and she was also very entangled.

At noon that day, Pan Xi was busy cooking in the kitchen, and Lao Zhao and Fang Yan stood in the corridor outside the humble apartment smoking, looking at the city in the shade of greenery.

"Brother, I owe her, you know? I owe her so much. She never took care of her, and she never had a good day. Lao Zhao said faintly.

"Don't say that. ”

"Sometimes I just want to ......"

"Think about something. ”

Lao Zhao knocked his fist on his head and said, "Die." If I die, she must be better off than she is now. If I die, I can make her live better, and I am willing to die. ”

"Don't......"

In the face of heavy reality, it is difficult to live plainly, but it is easy to die. Maybe one day, Lao Zhao will be like a teenager, protect his lover and die heroically. This is an expression of self-destructive tendencies, bad hallucinations.

Fang Yan understood Lao Zhao's thoughts, and he had done similar things.

"Lao Zhao, you better live well. ”

Pan Xi couldn't let go of Lao Zhao, but he was afraid of his previous life. She was really hurt. Only if Lao Zhao himself is doing well, it is possible for him and Pan Xi to get back together.

Pan Xi decided to finish the language cram school first, and then consider studying abroad or returning to China.

Lao Zhao saw a distant light in the darkness, and hope appeared again. It's not too late, he wants to do it all over again.
