Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 101 first round broadcast rights, 3600 million!
Xu Shiyuan seemed to have been touched and jumped up from the bed, eager to follow and eat the melon together.

"Boss, is your junior pursuing you?"

"How do you feel about him?"

Luo Yihe shook his head:
"Not that far."

"But I have a good impression of him."

"It's just that we haven't seen each other for more than a year. If we meet and feel good about each other, I will take the initiative to pursue him."

Xu Shiyuan was stunned.

Luo Yihe went out with a small backpack on his back.

Fang Zhou came to Sujing to do some business, and thought of the last time Wu Mei called him late at night and said she wanted to invite him to try her new cooking skills.

I was curious at the time, so I decided to go and take a look this time.

So I contacted Wu Mei.

Wu Mei was a little panicked when she received the call.

Her wonton stall has already been set up near Zhonghuamen subway station, and business is pretty good, but she is still thinking about new flavors.

I called Luo Yihe's dormitory at noon and asked her to come over in the evening.

"You asked me to make the call last time."

"If Fang Ark asks tonight."

"Make it round for me."

Thinking about the occasional chats with Fang Zhou this year, and we will meet soon.

Luo Yihe suddenly felt a little nervous.

Zhonghua Gate.

In a narrow alley.

Various electric vehicles and tricycles are parked on the roadside, leaving a small path in the middle that is barely wide enough for the tricycles to pass through.

At the other end of the alley is the entrance to the subway station.

There are many people coming and going in the alley.

One side of the alley.

It is a wall that separates the road from the community on the other side.

The cement on many parts of the wall has become mottled and peeling, revealing the red bricks, and green moss and mildew are crawling on the wall.

The other side of the road.

Going up three steps is a row of shops.

There are grain and oil stores, cloth shoe stores, grocery and tobacco shops, tailor shops, and breakfast shops, occasionally mixed with the sounds of hawking.

It adds a bit of fireworks to the alley.

It's hot now.

Every meal time.

People always bring the stove to the door to cook.

The place Wu Meixin rented was in this alley, but it was not the storefront in the front, but a small house at the back of the alley.

There was a new eight-layer tricycle parked at the door, loaded with the things needed for the wonton stall.

At this time, Wu Mei and Fang Zhou were busy at the door.

Cooking.

Ark arrived in the afternoon.

Someone saw at the entrance of the alley that the young man was driving a valuable car.

He is also very handsome, and people who pass by can't help but take a second look at him.

There are neighbors who know Wu Mei.

And say hello:
"This guy is so handsome, Wu Mei, is he your relative?"

"You can cook, so you won't be setting up the stall tonight?"

Wu Mei would always respond with a smile:

"We're taking a day off today. This is my daughter's classmate. They came to Sujing to play today."

"classmate?"

"She's Yihe's boyfriend, right? They're quite a good match."

Luo Yihe comes here often.

It's hard for her beauty not to attract the attention of her neighbors.

Everyone knows that the new woman who runs the wonton stall has a daughter who is like a big star and is a student at Sujing University.

While chatting.

Luo Yihe is often mentioned.

Some people also tried to find out about Luo Yihe's partner in a roundabout way.

Seeing others joking, Wu Mei patiently explained:

"Just a classmate."

The person who inquired smiled.

Looking at Fang Zhou with scrutinizing eyes.

Ding-dong, Luo Yihe came back on his bicycle after helping Wu Mei serve dishes in Fang Zhou.

I was a little surprised to see the two people cooking from afar.

Cross the alley.

Say hello to people you know.

Everyone responded with a smile, saying that everyone would like such an excellent girl. Some even joked:

"Yihe, your partner is here."

Luo Yihe smiled.

Not much explanation.

Seeing Fang Zhou, Luo Yihe narrowed her eyes and said sweetly:
"Fang Zhou, long time no see!"

"Hello, senior sister."

Fang Zhou looked a little dazed.

Luo Yihe's face was flushed from exercise.

Her hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her snow-white neck with sweat dripping down. Her navy blue dress reached her calves, forming a sharp contrast with her fair and slender calves.

Bright smile.

A sincere smile is the most touching, but also the most hurtful.

More than a year ago, my predecessor mustered up the courage to write a love letter to Luo Yihe, but felt ashamed of such a smile.

Well, the school caught me and asked me to call my parents.

Ark has a deep memory.

Wu Mei said:

"Hurry up and get under the porch. The sun is still very strong."

"Xiao Zhou came over early today and went shopping with me. I originally wanted to eat out, but Fang Zhou said he would buy some and cook it himself."

“The dishes are almost ready.”

"The boat was a great help."

"Wash your hands and eat a slice of watermelon. We'll prepare dinner later."

There was no air conditioning in Wu Mei's cabin. She placed a small table near the door, with several prepared dishes on it.

A bowl of braised pork and a plate of braised carp with some fish maw and fish roe.

Luo Yihe looked at Fang Zhou in surprise:

"Do you also like to eat carp and fish offal?"

"I didn't see it."

In Nanwu and Sujing, carp is rarely sold. Some people dislike the fishy smell, and my mother doesn't sell fish to entertain people. It must be Fang Zhou who suggested buying this thing.

“This is delicious.”

My previous incarnation did not eat it, but Fang Zhou in my previous life was from the north and liked fish offal very much, but it was rarely seen in Southern Wu.

In the afternoon, I went to the market with Wu Mei to buy vegetables.

I saw it.

So I bought it.

I originally thought that if Wu Mei didn’t know how to do it, I would do it myself.

Although he was a guest, Fang Zhou did not treat himself as an outsider. When he saw something he liked, he did not hide it pretentiously.

Seeing Luo Yihe's eyes wide open, Fang Zhou also smiled:

“I bought it when I saw it at the market.”

"I didn't expect you guys would like to eat it too."

"Aunt Wu's cooking skills are so good, I was drooling when she served it just now."

Wu Mei smiled and said:

"Yihe likes to eat it too."

"In the past, these things on the fish stalls were unwanted, so we sold them halfway and gave them away. They were very cheap, so we made a lot of them."

"Then the price got higher and higher, even more expensive than fish, so I ate less."

"The soup is ready too."

"Let's wash our hands together and get ready for dinner."

A total of four dishes were prepared: braised pork, braised fish, braised eggplant, fried snails with leeks, and chrysanthemum brain and duck egg soup.

No fancy presentation.

But the portion is generous.

It looks very simple and homely.

Luo Yihe took out a plastic bag containing half a salted duck she had bought.

As he unpacked it, he said:
"I heard from Mom that you've been to Sujing a few times. I wonder if you've ever tried the salted duck here."

"I bought it at a braised food store near our school. Their salted duck is very delicious. I'll bring half of it for you to try."

Fang Zhou smiled and said:

“I haven’t really tried it.”

"Thank you, Senior Sister and Aunt Wu. I'm in for a treat this time."

Luo Yihe stood there staring at Fang Zhou with his eyes wide open.

With a puffed mouth he said:

"you are too polite."

"You've helped us so much, and we haven't even been polite to you."

Ark shrugged:

"I'm just being polite."

Originally there were four dishes and one soup, but now with the addition of salted duck, there are a total of six bowls.

Chinese people have always liked even numbers and auspicious numbers.

Now Wu Mei was more satisfied.

In the afternoon, Wu Mei received a call from Fang Zhou saying that he was coming over. She was a little panicked and said she would invite Fang Zhou to dinner outside.

The new formula I mentioned last time is still in the experimental stage.

But the Ark has arrived.

Wu Mei felt a little embarrassed when she said she would just buy some vegetables from the market and cook.

Although she is not particular about details, Fang Zhou has helped her and her daughter a lot before, and she also knows that Fang Zhou's family is a real rich second generation.

Wu Mei still felt a little embarrassed to invite others to dinner in her own little house.

However, when she arrived at the vegetable market and saw Fang Zhou skillfully selecting vegetables and even bargaining with others, Wu Mei felt relieved.

Such skilled operation cannot be faked.

She wants to prepare a few more dishes.

Fang Zhou still refused.

After asking Luo Yihe and Wu Mei about their tastes, Fang Zhou decided on the menu himself.

When I passed by a fish stall, I saw some leftover fish offal and decided to buy some.

On the way back, Wu Mei was filled with emotion.

Prepare to eat.

Luo Yihe asked her to wait a moment. She ran out and soon came back with a case of beer from the next door store.

I also asked the boss to replace half of it with ice.

Luo Yihe is familiar with the place:
"It's such a hot day."

"It would be a waste of food if we don't have some beer."

There is no screwdriver at home.

Luo Yihe bit it open with his teeth and wiped the bottle mouth with a tissue.

Wu Mei had just moved in and there were no glass cups at home, so Luo Yihe just poured the wine into three bowls.

Fang Zhou was stunned by what he saw.

same.

This habit is not something that can be faked.

None of the girls he knew could behave like this. Tang Tang wouldn't, Fang Qinglin wouldn't, Pei Qingyao, Zhao Xiaotong... Fang Zhou shook his head.

Looking at Luo Yihe's calm face.

This kind of senior schoolmate somewhat subverts the image of the school beauty in his mind.

But think about it, I didn’t know much about it before.

"You are the campus belle."

"in this way."

"Wouldn't that shatter your classmates' worldviews?"

Luo Yihe smiled and said:
“I haven’t had a chance to show it at school yet.”

"But my freshman year is almost over, and I haven't drunk alcohol at school."

"Dormitory dinner."

“I rarely attend.”

"And certainly not with others."

"And even when I go out to eat with my roommates, no one clamors for drinking."

Fang Zhou smiled and was about to speak.

Chen Jing called:
"Mr. Fang, we're already at the hotel. Don't you really want to come over?"

Ark said:

"Eat it."

"Just make the arrangements and make everyone happy."

"I have plans tonight. After dinner, you can arrange a place for us to sing."

The first round of broadcasting has been agreed.

120 million per episode.

There are thirty episodes in total, which means 3600 million.

The costs have already been recovered, and there are still several times the profit. There will be a second round and online broadcast in the future, and the copyright fees can be sold.

Do the math.

There may be profits of dozens or even hundreds of times.

The main reason is that "Yun Si" did not hire big stars, thus reducing costs.

Otherwise, the pay of big stars would be hundreds of thousands per episode. If a drama has stars as the male and female protagonists, tens of millions of dollars would be invested.

Jiangnan TV.

This is also the point.

Without big stars, the audience attraction is not as strong, which can be used as a bargaining chip to lower the price.

Zhao Xiaotong doesn't care about that.

If Jiangnan TV does not agree, then we can invite a few more TV stations to participate in the first round. At worst, Jiangnan TV will be in trouble when the competition comes.

After some bargaining, they finally won the first round of broadcasting rights at a price of 120 million per episode.

Originally, Jiangnan TV was considering buying out the copyright in a package.

He was dissuaded by the two fingers extended by Zhao Xiaotong.

Ah!
It’s also good to get the first broadcast.

hang up the phone.

A smile appeared on Fang Zhou's face.

The TV series not only recovered its costs, but also made some money, and a lot of money at that, which is naturally something to be happy about.

At the same time, he also thought that Zhao Xiaotong was probably pretending to be cool.

It just feels a bit funny.

When Zhao Xiaotong came out of the TV station at noon, he was very excited.

The filming is nearing its end.

The total accounting cost is still around 10 million, not much overvalued.

Now it has sold 3600 million, and her one million investment has multiplied several times. It is conceivable that there will be a lot more, ten times the profit.

She was naturally happy to have so much extra money.

But the most important thing is to be able to show off in front of your companions.

This is earned through legitimate investment.

It will also save face if you tell others about it.

Of course.

Jiangnan TV is not stupid.

Although he had a relationship with Zhao Xiaotong, he also gave such a price because he saw that the quality of the film and television was indeed up to standard.

And they can't deliberately lower the price if they can reach it.

If it were someone else, they would be tricked into selling at the lowest price.

I can only accept it.

But if you cheat Zhao Xiaotong.

Later, Zhao Xiaotong would be laughed at and called a fool by others.

That's bad.

It is conceivable that the days ahead will definitely not be easy.

People in that circle are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, so it would be very easy for them to cause trouble for you.

Seeing Fang Zhou answering the phone, Wu Mei and Luo Yihe didn't say anything.

Hear the content of Fang Zhou's phone call.

His eyes were surprised.

There is a kind of unclear and powerful meaning.

But after Fang Zhou hung up the phone, the two of them didn't ask. Luo Yihe picked up the bowl and clinked it with Fang Zhou:
"One first."

It's all home-cooked food.

There is no sophisticated environment.

The two people beside him were not close, but they made Fang Zhou feel relaxed, and the feeling was very comfortable.

At this time, the three of them sat together to eat, just like a family.

Put down the wine bowl.

Luo Yihe breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's so hot riding a bike, it's so comfortable to have a sip of ice."

Wu Mei asked:

"How do you get here by bike?"

"It's several kilometers from here. How can I not be hot riding a bike? There's a subway coming here."

Luo Yihe said indifferently:
“The subway costs money.”

"I borrowed the bicycle from a classmate of ours, free of charge."

"Anyway, everyone's been studying for final exams lately, so not many people are going out to play. His bike is sitting empty because no one's renting it."

Listen to what Luo Yihe said about renting a car.

Fang Zhou suddenly realized.

No wonder I always felt something was wrong every time I came to Sujing.

Now I suddenly understand what's going on.

Shared bikes indeed.

In my previous life, I often went to Sujing to visit a friend, and my impression of the place was that there were shared bicycles everywhere.

There are no commercial shared bicycles in Nanwu, only municipal public bicycles.

I don't feel anything after traveling through time.

Sujing is a severely affected area by shared bicycles.

Especially near subway stations, shared bicycles from various platforms are thrown everywhere and have become industrial waste.

In this life, I have come to Sujing several times, but I have never seen shared bicycles. I don’t know if the time has not come yet or the world has changed.

Fang Zhou didn't think much about it.

Instead, he asked Luo Yihe about the car rental she had just mentioned.

original.

It was done by her classmates.

My classmate has some money and ideas, so he wants to do something.

I spent money to buy a batch of second-hand bicycles, each costing fifty or sixty yuan. I collected dozens of bicycles in total and started a bicycle rental business on campus.

Renting a car costs three dollars a day, and thirty dollars a month.

Most people rent by the day.

but.

Her classmate doesn't plan to do it anymore.

In Luo Yihe's opinion.

This business is pretty good.

If you rent a car by the day, you can recover the cost in less than a month. Even if you subscribe to a monthly plan, it only takes two months, and the rest is pure profit.

This kind of business should be good, but I didn’t expect that none of my classmates want to do it.

Prepare to move the car out.

Fang Zhou smiled and said:

"You're talking about the ideal situation."

"They are all second-hand cars, so the quality is definitely average. And since they are rented, it is impossible for the users to take good care of them. I estimate that they will be scrapped in three or four months."

“The failure rate is usually not low.”

"When the car breaks down, he has to find someone to fix it."

"You said he has fifty or sixty bicycles. It's impossible for him to rent them all out every day."

"Let's settle the accounts."

"If he can rent out 40 cars on average, all at three yuan a day, his total monthly income would be 3600 yuan."

“It’s still in very good condition.”

“It’s unlikely to be achieved in reality.”

"You have to deduct the cost of repairing the car, his time, the depreciation of the car, and with so many cars, you might have to rent a site. At the end of the month, it might only be a few hundred yuan."

"If it were an ordinary person."

"This is equivalent to one month's living expenses."

"Since your classmate can come up with thousands of dollars to start a business, he definitely wouldn't be interested in making a few hundred dollars a month."

"It's still very tiring."

"Do you think he still has the mood to continue?"

Wu Mei smiled without saying anything. She naturally knew something about business matters.

Luo Yihe, however, had never thought about this problem before.

I suddenly understood after hearing what Fang Zhou said.

Blinking his big eyes.

A face of admiration:
"You are so awesome!"
