Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 536: The Matthew Effect on Fangyan (Monthly Tickets Plus)

After Fangyan and his friends entered the People's Art Theatre, they found that the theatre was divided into several parts.

They entered the second largest People's Art Theatre Experimental Theatre.

This place is on the third floor of the Capital Theatre, with an area of ​​about 3 square meters and can accommodate 400 to 200 spectators.

Although the show is still half an hour away, quite a few people are already sitting here.

There are VIP lounge, dressing room and cafe here.

There is also an open conference room.

Some people who bought regular tickets have already taken their seats here.

Fangyan and his friends can go to the VIP lounge and wait if they have more expensive tickets.

As Director Chen had spent money, he certainly would not miss this opportunity, and immediately led everyone towards that place, saying that there was a chance that they might meet some bigwigs in the art industry.

The planning here is completely learned from the Soviet Union.

That’s why these designs exist.

Although everyone is equal, spending more money can indeed allow you to enjoy treatment that others do not have.

After entering the VIP lounge, Fangyan felt like he was back in a Moscow restaurant, with a magnificent feel everywhere.

There weren't many people inside, probably only about thirty or so, forming several small circles around them eating and chatting.

There are free biscuits and coffee or tea.

The dialect reminds me of the VIP lounge on high-speed railways in later generations.

Although it is not as good as the VIP lounge on the airplane, it also provides some things that others cannot enjoy.

There were many people including Fangyan, and they immediately attracted a lot of attention after they came in.

Chen Kaige also actively looked around the crowd to see if there was anyone he knew.

"Doctor Fang!"

"Comrade Dialect?"

Suddenly two voices rang out almost simultaneously from two groups of people.

Fang Yan looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person who called "Dr. Fang" was actually Mr. Tang Shengming whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the person who called "Comrade Fang Yan" on the other side was Director Liao of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

"Master Tang!"

"Director Liao!"

Fang Yan greeted the two people separately. He really didn't feel any surprise that these two people appeared here. After all, their identities were here.

In fact, both of them had joined the opposing organization before.

Later they all broke away.

It’s just that one has all the good things, and the other has experienced a lot of hardships.

Now it seems that Director Liao should be Mr. Tang’s superior.

It can be considered another kind of reward after going through so much hardship.

Mr. Tang was very relaxed. Fangyan guessed that he just came here to watch the show.

Director Liao was very solemn. Beside him were some of the staff members who had appeared in the morning, and opposite him were a few people who looked like overseas Chinese.

After Fangyan greeted them, Director Liao came over with his people. Mr. Tang originally wanted to come up and chat for a while, but stopped when he saw this.

"Comrade Fangyan, nice to meet you again." Director Liao greeted Fangyan with a smile.

"Director Liao, what a coincidence." Fang Yan responded.

Chen Kaige, who was standing by, was dumbfounded. He didn't see any acquaintances, but met two of them as soon as Fang Yan arrived. It felt like he bought the ticket specially for Fang Yan.

Director Liao didn't notice the person next to him, he only noticed the dialect.

After greeting Fang Yan, he turned around and introduced the others:

"Let me introduce you. This is the Chinese medicine doctor Fang Yan who treated Zhou Zhaoqin's lung disease. At noon today, he also diagnosed Mr. Hu Daohu and his wife. Both of them are currently receiving treatment in the hospital."

There were five people on the opposite side, two in their sixties and two in their thirties or forties.

and a man in his twenties.

Judging from their appearance, they should be from the same family, and they all look a bit similar, except for the youngest, a woman in her twenties, who has some mixed-race characteristics. The leader is the oldest, middle-aged man, who is a bit bald and has big bags under his eyes.

After hearing the introduction, he immediately came up and extended his hand to Fangyan.

"Hello, Doctor Dialect, I have heard your story before I came here, I didn't expect you to be so young."

Fangyan went up to him and shook hands:
"Hello!"

At the same time, he turned around and called out to the others:
"Hello everyone."

Director Liao introduced in dialect:
"These people are all overseas Chinese businessmen who came back to China for inspection. They are doing business in Europe and they all came back to China to take a look."

Fang Yan said to the crowd:

"Welcome back to our country for inspection."

Several people smiled and nodded.

Then she responded to him in broken Chinese.

Fangyan then discovered that only the old overseas Chinese businessman who was in charge could speak Chinese relatively fluently, while the others could only communicate barely.

The language communication is much worse than that between the Zhou family and the Hu family.

But it is understandable that doing business in Southeast Asia requires frequent communication with overseas Chinese.

The other wave is those who do business in Europe, all of them are white people.

I guess the only opportunity to use Chinese is at home.

At present, being able to communicate in Chinese is already pretty good.

"Doctor Fangyan is quite busy at this time, so we will arrange for everyone to have a physical examination in a few days. This is how Chinese medicine is practiced, so it is more accurate to do the examination in the morning." Director Liao said to them at this time.

Fang Yan glanced at Director Liao. He didn’t expect that this group of people would come here to treat illnesses.

But he still took over the conversation very smoothly:

"Yes, we Chinese medicine practitioners are more accurate in diagnosing pulses in the morning. In the afternoon, when the pulse changes too much, it is not so accurate and can be easily misdiagnosed."

Several people nodded.

After chatting for a while, Director Liao took them away and went straight to their seats to watch the performance.

Bring the returned overseas Chinese here to watch "Cai Wenji".

It is indeed a great place to entertain foreign guests.

After they left, the time was almost up, but Fang Yan did not rush to sit down. Instead, he went to say hello to Mr. Tang.

"I originally thought that you had already gone to Hong Kong, but I didn't expect to actually run into you." Fang Yan said to Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang laughed and said to Fangyan:
"Haha, I was planning to go, but because of you, plans changed."

"Because of me?" Fang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mr. Tang nodded and said seriously:

"Yes, after the news of your medical treatment and saving lives was spread by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, many overseas Chinese businessmen returned to China, some of whom are my acquaintances."

"Now I am responsible for contacting and communicating with these people."

Fangyan was a little surprised when he heard this. Zhu Lin, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but said in surprise:
"No... How many people need medical treatment? Why are they all coming back at once? Can't the overseas Chinese businessmen get treatment for so many diseases abroad?"

Old Tang glanced at Zhu Lin, shook his head and said:

"It's not that I can't see well, but... you've heard of the Matthew effect, right?"

Zhu Lin shook his head.

Director Chen, who had been waiting to show off, immediately took over the conversation:
“For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Mr. Tang nodded and said:

"Yes, this is a phenomenon that exists in many fields. The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. In other words, individuals or groups that have gained advantages can often further accumulate advantages, thereby achieving great success and obtaining huge resources, while the weak will gradually lose all resources and become weaker and weaker."

After saying this, he looked at Fang Yan, smiled and said in an affirmative tone:
"Fangyan is now the strong one, and he is attracting the attention of overseas Chinese communities to China."

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 104000 words.

There will be more in the afternoon.
