Chapter 6: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

The pace of the Spring Festival is gradually approaching, even the busiest Chinese people have to stop their pace and choose a family reunion to spend this thousand-year-old festival.

Although Chen Bo has two girlfriends who enjoy the blessings of all people, he is embarrassed to go to other people's houses to celebrate the Spring Festival. So he and Yang Guotai had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Liu Yuan's house.

"Here, big red envelope! Put it away, don't let your mom see it. ”

The one who opened the door for the two of them was Liu Xu, who had already taken his mother's surname, and the little boy with a tiger's head was now getting stronger and stronger, and he should be in the first grade of primary school in the second half of the year.

"Thank you, uncle."

Liu Xu, the child, was out of sight, put the red envelope in his pocket and happily ran into the house to hide it.

"You can't spoil him like that, he'll spoil him." The baby-faced Liu Yuan walked out of the kitchen, still wearing a scarf, and said to the two with a smile.

"For the child, festive." Yang Guotai, who usually doesn't talk much, said with a sincere smile at this time.

"Then you sit down first, and I'll fry two more dishes."

"No, just keep it simple, there are no outsiders!" Chen Bo waved his hand and said, this is not the first time he has come to eat, where is there so much politeness.

Yang Guotai got up and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you, this New Year's Day will be faster." ”

Liu Yuan nodded a little unnaturally and agreed softly, and the two of them went into the kitchen and started to work, what does this mean? How can it escape Chen Bo's eyes. He beckoned Liu Xu to his side and asked, "What do you think of Uncle Yang?" ”

"It's good, buy me a toy."

"If you don't have any interest, you know how to play." Chen Bo smiled and patted his brain.

"Hmm...... And delicious. ”

"How about letting Uncle Yang be your father?" Chen Bo said again.

"I ...... I don't know, I ...... Ask Mom! As he spoke, he turned around and ran to the kitchen.

"Stop, where are you going, little bunny!" Chen Bo grabbed him, "Your mother will be embarrassed, leave it to your uncle to take care of it, okay?" ”

"Okay!" Liu Xu still trusted Chen Bo quite a lot, so he nodded and stopped making a sound, and contributed his toys again, and the two men played in the living room.

It didn't take long for the spicy dinner to be served. Liu Yuan's hometown is Xiaoxiang, and this taste is naturally Hunan cuisine, and even retains a lot of local characteristics. Chopping peppers is a must, and I also like to add lard to steam the vegetables directly, which ensures the fragrance. If you have some home-made bacon, it will be even more amazing.

Three big and one small four people began their own Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the still festive Spring Festival Gala, listening to the occasional sound of firecrackers outside the window, always telling them that the Spring Festival is here and the new year is coming.

"Where did Xiao Xu go to elementary school, have you arranged it?" When he was happy to eat, Chen Bo asked.

"It's not easy to get, my hukou is not in Pengcheng, and now I am enrolled nearby. If you want to buy a suite, the houses near the good school are ridiculously expensive, and they cost 5,000 square meters! Liu Yuan is pouring bitter water at the moment, although her salary is not low now, and her annual income is about 120,000 yuan. Raising children, renting a house, and supporting the elderly at home are all a lot of expenses, but in fact, they earn a lot of expenses, and the cost of kindergarten is expensive enough every month.

In fact, she can use the provident fund to take out a loan to buy a house, and the company has protection, but she has also had enough of those hard days before, and she is very cautious in spending money.

"It's hard to be alone. You're still young, so you haven't thought about finding another suitable one? ”

This is Chen Bo's original intention, it was all a clichΓ© before.

"I was disappointed in my marriage for a long time, and I am quite happy to have Xiaoxu alone." Liu Yuan's face was a little unnatural.

Chen Bo didn't respond positively, but turned his face to the side and asked, "Old Yang, what do you think of this kid?" ”

"Well-behaved and sensible. I love it! Yang Guotai didn't react and blurted out.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just recognize a godson, children also need a father to give more care and guidance in the process of growing up, otherwise it is easy to have personality defects." Chen Bo said in a timely manner, if you match them, it will be embarrassing if you poke them directly if the skin is thin, it is better to get closer and not break it, and create opportunities for them to develop naturally.

Lao Yang is widowed, although he is a typical northerner, the lines are relatively thick, but he is very reliable. Liu Yuan is a gentle southern woman, except for an unreliable ex-husband, she is also a tight match, and the child is easy to pass, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The most important two people are people he trusts very much, and it would be a good thing if they could be combined.

"That'...... How good is that. Liu Yuan was still thinking about Chen Bo's words, and did not say anything against it, but Yang Guotai was a little unnatural.

"It's okay to be a mother, Xiao Xu will let Uncle Yang be your father, okay?"

Liu Xu glanced at Liu Yuan, who was about to speak and stopped, and then looked at Chen Bo's encouraging eyes, and didn't feel that it was a pit at all, and directly said crisply, "Dad!" ”

Yang Guotai reacted for a long time and replied, "Hey! ”

Dad and godfather are two different things, the scene became a little embarrassing for a while, Liu Yuan's face was red, and Yang Guotai was extremely unnatural, just kept lowering his head and drinking water.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, my godfather is not my own father. In this way, go back and transfer my small house to your name first, and move the household registration over as soon as possible. Don't miss your child's school. Chen Bo saw that Liu Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to object, and said, "Don't think about so many beautiful things, either to give it to you, or to borrow you to move a household registration, and you have to pay it back when you turn back." ”

Although it is a small house, it is also worth hundreds of thousands, and it is easy for Chen Bo to give it away, but the mouth is not so open. Isn't this how the story of Dou Mien and Sheng Mi Qiu came about, even if you want to send it, you have to have a reasonable excuse.

Chen Bo asked Liu Yuan to write an IOU worth 350,000 yuan, and the house was equivalent to what she owed, and she could move her household registration over and arrange for her children to go to school when she turned around.

After such a hiatus, the atmosphere at the scene is not so embarrassing. When you go out, everything is simple, Yang Guotai, the godfather, is decided. Everyone ate until the singing of "Happy Tonight" sounded, and 03 years really came.

Although there were many difficulties in 02, there are still a lot of twists and turns when I think about it now, and I almost almost hung up in the Shanghai market.

Ant Search gained a firm foothold and gradually expanded overseas. Tencent is a dominant company in both the portal and social networking, and Maidong Music Network is also a new force leading Internet music. These three companies can be regarded as the three musketeers in the hands of Pangu Group, and they have cut a big cake in the Internet market.

As for the car network and Dingdong Excellence, they still have to fight hard with other opponents to fight their way out, but it is not far away.

Chen Bo's goal in 03 is to turn Ant into a profit, continue to expand its overseas share, Dingdong Excellence can occupy more markets, and it is best to squeeze out eBay as an outsider first with Taobao, of course, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve within a year.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Spring Festival in 03 is no different from usual, maybe it's just that the flavor of the year is getting weaker and weaker, and the business atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. Mobile phones are no longer exclusive to the rich, more and more popular, in addition to the monotonous white screen, blue screen, yellow screen, the camp of domestic mobile phones began to exert force, with the emergence of color screen mobile phones.

MP3 players have become the norm for urban hipsters, and CDs and cassettes have piled up in forgotten corners.

First of all, "Infernal Affairs", which was released at the end of the year, made Galaxy Pictures earn enough reputation after "Zhou Yu's Train", with a sentence "I used to have to choose, but now I want to be a good person!" It became a classic dialogue. Hong Kong Island alone has achieved a box office of 55 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was released in China because it successfully passed the trial, but it still received a box office of 80 million because of the small number of films, which can be described as fame and fortune. Investing 12 million not only got the copyright but also earned more than 10 million, which is a good performance in the film industry, and you can sell copyrights to other countries and regions in the future, and sell DVDs to obtain related income.

Another "Hero", which was jointly produced by New Picture Pictures, Galaxy Pictures and Hollywood's Summit Entertainment with a huge investment of 20 million US dollars, was released at the end of the year, although many viewers felt that they could not understand it, but the beautiful camera picture broke the box office record of domestic films, with a domestic box office of 250 million yuan and 30 million US dollars. The first place is "Titanic", which was released in 97, and collected 360 million yuan.

The global box office of the hero has exceeded 150 million US dollars, properly earning back the cost, and stirring the sensitive nerves of the Chinese people, it seems that the little golden man of the Oscars is close at hand.

Through Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chen found Harvey, Hollywood's most notorious rogue producer and president of Miramax Films. Weinstein was responsible for the film's North American distribution. Since you are a hooligan, it is impossible to make you feel better, and the price of 8 million US dollars was bought out, and it won the North American box office championship with 18 million US dollars in the first week.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the competitors who scheduled the film at that time were too weak, although he was a hooligan, but his ability to operate was really strong, and he could even be called the roundworm of the Oscar jury. once won 6 statuettes with 13 nominations for an unremarkable "Shakespeare in Love", and defeated the unanimously praised "Saving Private Ryan" in Best Picture, which shows its excellent public relations ability.

In this way, in fact, in addition to relying on movie theaters to earn some box office shares, Galaxy Entertainment has earned an online broadcast copyright, and it has maintained a situation of not making money or losing money, which is of little significance.

It's not as profitable as the whole IP of Fengyun, the simulcast of Fengyun's dominance of the world on 8 satellite TV has caused a sensation, in addition to mainland copyrights, overseas copyrights have been sold a lot. Even with the fiery wind and clouds OL swept the entire wave of winter vacation, what came out of the Internet cafΓ© was no longer a single CS and legendary voice, and there was a strong "Golden scales are not in the pool, a dragon changes in the wind and clouds!" "Only in the public beta stage, 3 million users have registered, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the public beta officially ended and began to enter the charging stage.

Attached to the comic book periphery, it is impossible to have a total output value of 500 million in revenue, and of course there are many places to share profits.

Next is the development of stand-alone games with a player base, such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Swordsman Love", coupled with the advancement of computer technology and the hungry market, the future benefits are completely predictable.
