220 East Brother Appears and Saves Water(1/2)
On the evening of the 8th, Zhongguancun Jufu Tower
After the production of "Sassy Girlfriend" ended, Ye Fan took Zeng Li and the crew to have dinner here.
Although this is an old store, Ye Jun bought the surrounding and upstairs shops, and after some renovations, it doubled in size.
Now this store is considered one of the best in Zhongguancun in terms of scale and decoration, and the prices have not changed much, so it is very popular among people here!
Jufulou has the added aura of celebrities such as Ye Fan, and its business is very good. So far, it has opened a total of 5 stores in Yanjing.
If Ye Fan hadn't strongly suggested improving the quality of the hotel first, it would have been no problem for Jufulou to expand to more than a dozen stores based on its income over such a long period of time.
But now Jufulou is not just a restaurant. Ye Fan's father can make the business so prosperous. In addition to the quality of the food, Ye Fan's support is also indispensable behind it.
Therefore, the reputation of the hotel is closely related to Ye Fan. After all, many people come here because of Ye Fan's reputation. He doesn't want to be like Chen Kai's nephew and make a thunderstorm in this regard.
Ye Jun still wants to make the hotel bigger and stronger. His son is so good, so he has to follow in his footsteps, right?
However, after Ye Fan explained the concepts and contents of later generations' catering standardization one by one, Ye Jun was speechless.
Ye Jun and Zhang Yue were stunned as they talked about management standardization, service quality, staff training, food safety management and maintaining the characteristics of dishes.
Not to mention them, in an era when the country's catering industry is growing wildly, most catering employees don't understand this.
After such high-level content and sudden... persuasion, Ye Jun also accepted Ye Fan's suggestion and developed steadily step by step.
Therefore, Ye Jun no longer rushes to open a branch with the money he earned in Jufulou, but directly buys the opened stores, or lets Zhang Yue buy a house in Yanjing. There is no way to make money by buying real estate when opening a store!
After inspecting other stores that are suitable for opening a store, they buy it first and then open the store after the subsequent management staff and others can catch up.
So apart from these 5 shops, Ye Fan doesn't know how many shops and houses his parents have bought now...
Knowing that Ye Fan was going to treat the crew to dinner today, Ye Jun came to this store specially to help him make arrangements.
"Hey, it's been a while, Xiaoli has become beautiful again!"
"No, uncle, your face is glowing. It seems that the restaurant is doing well."
"Haha, business is not bad. If it weren't for Xiao Fan's support, I would have opened 20 branches now."
…
Ye Fan rolled his eyes. His father really didn't forget to open a store and be a big boss. He would brag about it when he saw acquaintances.
If there are still 20 stores, then the business will not be able to generate cash flow and it will drag him down.
"Dad, the third floor is now free. Is the food ready?"
"Everything is ready. Just let them go up. Just drink less alcohol tonight."
"Don't worry, who dares to force me if I don't drink?"
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he asked the crew to go up first. He and Zeng Li chatted with their father for a while.
The few of them chatted for a while, and Ye Fan heard a voice coming from the door: "Boss Ye, I'm here again, I'll have one as always!"
Hearing this, Ye Jun smiled at the man and said, "Dongzi is here. You guys sit down first. I'll make arrangements for you right away."
Ye Fan and Zeng Li also looked at that person. When they heard the name "Dongzi" and saw that young and chubby face, Ye Fan still couldn't recognize who he was!
Thinking of what his father called him, Ye Fan was filled with admiration. In the next few years, who would dare to call him that in person except netizens and online article authors?
Since both Ye Fan and Zeng Li were wearing masks, Dongzi did not recognize them. He greeted Ye Jun and took his girlfriend to find a seat and sit down.
"Dad, who is this person?"
"Oh~ His name is Liu Qiangdong, and he is accompanied by his girlfriend. They were looking for a shop in Zhongguancun during this time and wanted to open a shop. They often came to my place for dinner, and they became familiar with each other after going back and forth. He helped fix the computer in the store before it broke.
."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Really? I'm starting my own business at such a young age and I'm so ambitious. I'm worried that I can't find anyone to invest. Dad, why don't you ask him for me and see if I need investment?"
"Why do you think it came out of nowhere? You don't even know them and they say you want to invest. Stop making trouble and go upstairs quickly."
Zeng Li asked instead: "Xiao Fan, do you like them just by looking at them? Do you want to invest in them?"
Zeng Li and Ye Fan had been together for such a long time, and Ye Fan said many things during their chats, which made Zeng Li obsessed with Ye Fan's talent and unable to extricate himself.
Especially the extremely high ratings and explosive popularity of "Huan Zhuge Ge" after it was aired made her blindly trust Ye Fan's words!
"I just see this guy and think he is very confident and has the potential to succeed. He has just started his business anyway, and it won't cost me much money to invest. Why not give it a try, just in case he succeeds."
Ye Jun also remembered his son's vision at this time, nodded and said: "Yes, then I will go over and ask them later."
Seeing that his father was willing to help, Ye Fan didn't say much and took Zeng Li upstairs...
After Ye Fan distributed red envelopes to the crew, everyone started feasting.
When they were almost done eating, Chen Kun raised his glass and said to Ye Fan: "Brother Fan, thank you for giving me so many opportunities. I'll toast you!"
"You're welcome. You rely on your own strength. Everyone sees your acting skills. Otherwise, it would be useless if I gave you a chance."
Ye Fan's words made Chen Kun elated. Compared with other factors, he hoped that his acting skills would be recognized by others.
At this time, Wang Qianyuan said with a smile: "I heard that Ye Fan suggested you to act in "Huanzhugege", but you didn't want to act in the Qing palace drama. Now that the drama is so popular, do you regret it?"
Chen Kun shook his head and said: "I have no regrets. At that time, no one knew that this drama would be so popular. Moreover, the roles were almost decided at that time, and there was nothing suitable for me."
Although Chen Kun said this, he still envied Huang Xiaoming for being so popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places with just one TV series, and the gap with him widened instantly!
Watching the two chatting about "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", Ye Fan couldn't help but think of the scene of attending the press conference of this drama in the Mainland at the end of April.
At the press conference of "My Fair Princess", Ye Fan said the same things as he said in Wanwan, but this time more people believed in him.
Because the ratings of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in Wanwan exceeded 14%, it became this year's miracle drama.
Not only did it surpass the previous ratings record of 12%, but it also broke many records in the Wanwan TV drama market. With the bonus of Ye Fanshen’s prediction, this drama is even more popular!
"Huan Zhuge Ge" has become a phenomenon-level TV series. It has become popular all over the island and suppressed all criticism. It has quickly spread to Hong Kong Island, mainland China, Southeast Asia and other countries!
Qiong Yao frequently called Ye Fan to thank her for this, and strongly invited Ye Fan to be the male lead in her next TV series, but Ye Fan still refused.
He still has four movies and TV series to shoot and an album to release, and "Tomb Raiders" is about to be released, so he doesn't have any extra time.
Chen Daoming has already gone to the "Infernal Affairs" crew, and they are urging him to go over and film the scene of the young Chen Yongren.
Ye Fan just asked Qiong Yao to sell "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" for a higher price, but the price she sold to Mango Channel was still low, which was completely disappointing for the ratings of this TV series!
Qiong Yao happily agreed to this. She felt that half of the credit for the popularity of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" should be attributed to Ye Fan. Of course, she would give Ye Fan enough reward.
After "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was launched on Mango Channel on May 1, the average ratings exceeded 25% on the first day, and the ratings continued to rise every day thereafter.
By the 7th, the average ratings of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" had exceeded 40%, and the highest ratings reached 56%. This rating was not inferior to "Water Margin" at all, and it was a complete hit!
The various actors in the play also became popular one after another. Huang Xiaoming, who was not well-known before, suddenly became a popular niche and became the face of Beijing Film Studio 96!
Zeng Li whispered to Ye Fan: "Yes, "Huan Zhuge Ge" is now very popular, and Hu Jing is also extremely popular now. There are many people chasing her in school, but she has rejected them all.
"
"Every day, many people come outside the school and call Xiao Yanzi at the school gate, wanting to see her. She is now afraid to leave the school."
Ye Fan laughed and said: "I just said that "Huan Zhuge Ge" would be a big hit, but not many people believed it. What could I do?"
Peter Chan laughed and said: "Who could believe what you said at that time, and I didn't believe it either. If it hadn't been for the ratings of "My Fair Princess" reaching 14% in Wanwan, I wouldn't have made up my mind to accept your drama."
"Now your words have been praised by the Hong Kong and Taiwan media, saying that what you said at the press conference was a prophecy from God. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television companies are shocked by your vision and want you to read the script.
."
Ye Fan waved his hand and said: "It's all luck, not worth mentioning. Don't envy "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Our movie is not bad at all. It will definitely be popular all over Asia. By then everyone will be famous. Then
It’s time for them to envy us!”
"Yes, yes, our "Savage Girl" is not bad either. Why are you envious of others? With Mr. Ye's eyes, "Sassy Girl" will definitely become popular in Asia!
"
"Yes, whoever is not convinced by Mr. Ye's vision now, I immediately became more motivated. Come on, come on, let's celebrate our popularity in Asia in advance, let's go one by one!"
"Okay! Celebrating the popularity in Asia, let's go!"
…
Ye Fan looked at the scene that suddenly became lively and felt dumbfounded. It seemed that the popularity of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was so exciting to these people that they all wanted to be famous and wanted to go crazy.
But who said these two film and television dramas are related to Ye Fan? Ye Fan's previous achievements and the popularity of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" gave them great confidence in this movie.
What else can Ye Fan do? Of course, it is to maximize the effect of this good news, keep the crew motivated and motivated, and make a movie of the highest quality in the shortest time!
After drinking and eating, everyone left one after another. Ye Fan was stopped by Ye Jun and took him to his office. Zeng Li naturally followed.
When Ye Fan entered the office, he saw Brother Dong and his girlfriend sitting in the office, seemingly waiting for him.
When Brother Dong saw Ye Fan arriving, he quickly stood up and walked towards him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Ye, I never thought I could see a big star today."
Seeing that Brother Dong and his wife were excited but a little reserved when they saw him, Ye Fan smiled, shook hands with Brother Dong and his wife and said:
"In addition to being a star, I am also an investor. Today at my dad's house, you can treat me as an investor."
"Haha, who would have thought that you are still an investor? We were all shocked when Brother Jun told us!"
"I'm interested in computers and the Internet, and have already invested in some companies. Today I heard my dad mention that you are also in this field, so I became interested and asked my dad to ask if you need investment. Isn't that rude?"
"It's not rude, it's not rude. If you want to invest in us, it's too late for us to be happy."
