Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 573
The male star also said: "Both of us are not from majors, and we have been scolded for our lack of acting skills. We admit it, but we have been working hard, and now we are slowly reducing our exposure and retreating behind the scenes. , to hone our acting skills. We are also the lucky ones of the times. In this era, we can become actors and stars. This era is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, accepting all impossibilities. Going back to decades ago, we have no chance at all! "

The star couple finally got what they wanted, and said goodbye to us happily. Before leaving, they did not forget to ask for my contact information, and promised that once his movie was finished, they would notify me as soon as possible. Invite me to the premiere.

Shi Shi suggested that we go to supper, saying that we hadn't eaten all night and only drank a lot of water, and asked me what to eat?
I said politely, "Ask Shiyang?"

Shi Shi snorted and said, "If you ask her, she will also ask you, why not ask you directly!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "This is Shanghai, I'm a bumpkin from the countryside, do you think I know what to eat? If I order it, I'll eat LBT!"

Shi Shi asked curiously: "I know KFC, what is LBT?"

Du Shiyang said with a smile: "Street stall, you don't know this?"

Shi Shi smiled and said: "The roadside stalls are just roadside stalls. Why are you talking so foreignly? Then go to the Fly Restaurant over the Confucian Temple. It is very famous and the food is delicious!"

When I heard this, I grinned and said, "Even the roadside stalls have to pay attention to hygiene? Isn't this fly shop too dirty?"

Shi Shi said with a smile: "That's how they are called, but the sanitary environment is very good!"

I nodded and said: "That's okay, let's talk about it first, who will pay the bill, I heard that Shanghai is AA system, I don't have any money, don't pay the bill later, let's make AA system, both of you I don’t have money, so I can’t wash the dishes?”

Shi Shi scolded with a smile: "Stingy! Where did you take out that the two of us have no money?"

I pointed to Du Shiyang and said: "Just look at her body, where can I put money? Look at you, you have only one pocket all over your body, can you put a wallet in it? I don't even know, how did you design it?" Clothes don’t even have a pocket, so they’re not close to life at all!”

Shi Shi said dissatisfiedly: "This is an evening dress, how can it be close to life? It doesn't look good if it has a pocket, you bitch! You don't know how to change clothes? You don't plan to wear this to eat your LBT, do you?"

I nodded and said, "That makes sense, then I have to go back to the hotel and make a fuss, it's already dawn!"

Shi Shi snorted and said, "You are lucky, there is a ready-made costume designer here, and I will give you a set of clothes!"

I thought for a while and said, "You won't charge me money, will you?"

Shi Shi ignored me, and said to Du Shiyang: "Sister Shiyang, I'll get you a set too, you can change it, let's go, come with me."

I looked at Dong Zong in the distance, Dong Zong was still talking to someone.Shi Shi and I said: "I went to say hello to Mr. Dong, and I will come to you in a while!"

Shi Shi hummed and said, "Go to room 203 on the second floor of this hotel, we will wait for you there!"

I walked up to Dong Zong, Dong Zong stopped the conversation with that person, and said to me: "I will go back to the hotel in a while, and I will fly back tomorrow. You can arrange them. If you have fun, let them go again." Play for a few more days, but you have to go back the day after tomorrow at the latest, and an important customer will come the day after tomorrow."

I asked, "Who is it? You, the old man, have to greet him in person?"

Dong Zong said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes, the success of the overseas market depends entirely on him!"

I hummed and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go have a late-night snack with Shi Shi later, shall we go together?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "I won't go. I'm not used to the nightlife of your young people. Getting in touch with Shi Shi more will be beneficial and harmless. He is by no means as simple as you think. His vision is very unique. Although he is young, he should not be underestimated. His family's business is really supported by him alone. Although his parents are rich, they don't know how to make money, and all the money depends on him."

I smiled and said: "I really didn't see it, but he is quite cute and not pretentious, you can understand it!"

We changed our clothes, sat in Shi Shi's car, and went to the Fly Restaurant.

The Fly Restaurant is not as disgusting as the name, but it is relatively clean and comfortable. It is actually an open-air restaurant. The surrounding environment is very comfortable, and there are not too many people. The ingredients are placed in the freezer outside, and guests can freely pick.

Shi Shi should be a regular customer here. Before we could order, he went to get things by himself. Seeing him take a pot of vegetables, I called out, "Where are you feeding the pigs? Can the three of us finish it?"

Shi Shi ignored me, and kept telling the chef what to do. After making arrangements, he sat down and asked me, "How is your drinking capacity, Brother Chen?"

I glanced at Shishi and held out two fingers in disdain.

Shi Shi smiled and said, "Two bottles of beer, or two catties of liquor?"

I snorted and said, "I can drink two of you!"

Du Shiyang smiled and said: "You're done! The last person who was bragging and drinking with Shi Shi is still lying in the hospital! There are two kinds of people in this world, one is allergic to alcohol, and the other is insensitive to alcohol. Drinking alcohol is like drinking water, what kind of person do you think Shi Shi is?"

I looked at Du Shiyang, and knew that she didn't seem to be joking, so I hurriedly changed my mind and said, "Then what, I'm not feeling well recently, so I don't drink alcohol! Besides, I drank a lot just now, and I have to catch a plane tomorrow!"

Shi Shi Naken let me go just like that, and said with a smile: "Who was it just now? You drank with me just now, and it wasn't with me! Then drink white first, and then drink beer. I don't drink well, so I drink first." Use the first one to drink with you, wait for the first one to drink down, then have the second one!"

I said shamelessly: "Then you use the first you first, and drink with Shiyang, after drinking, then use the second you, and drink with me!"

Du Shiyang said dissatisfied: "Why should you be the first to drink with me?"

I said with a smile: "You are old friends, it's rare to have a thousand glasses of wine when you meet a bosom friend, you two should drink more."

After going around and around, the three of them drank together in the end. Not to mention, Shi Shi's drinking capacity is really good. He drank more than half of a bottle of white wine by himself, without changing expression or beating heartbeat. Shiyang's The alcohol capacity is also good, because after listening to Du Shiyang's words, I dare not drink too fast, for fear that I will be poured down by a child later, and I can't afford to lose that person!

The three of us got better and better after drinking. When the second bottle of white wine was finished, Du Shiyang called a timeout first, but she could still drink it, but she felt that we were drinking too fast and needed to take a break.

The three of them stopped, and I asked Shi Shi: "Actually, I think that couple is not easy. Why do you dislike the two of them so much?"

Shi Shi put down his wine glass and replied: "Who is easy? It's not easy, it's not that I don't help them, it's that they don't know how to choose occasions and locations. They came to grab jobs even though they knew I had just established a film and television agency. One of the artists under the banner originally wanted to sign a contract with me, but they forced them to sign with their company. This should be a fair competition. Which brokerage company develops well will naturally choose which one to do. Don't you think it's a little too much?"

I shook my head and said: "It's not too much, it's not too much. Artists choose what company is their own freedom. If your conditions are good, you will naturally choose you. There is nothing that is not original, and you can still divorce after getting married. Huh? Not to mention not even getting engaged."

Du Shiyang frowned and said, "Ah Fei, don't be ridiculous, every industry should have its own rules, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

I argued: "I'm really not being arguing, I just said something, nothing is taken for granted, and they didn't find a rope to hold the artist, and everything has to be found on yourself. I look down on them, but I think they may be your biggest competitors, have you ever thought about it, they never let go of any chance of success, they are willing to let go, such people are terrible."

Shi Shi was not angry, but thought about what I said, and asked: "But their funds belong to others, and they always want to borrow chickens to lay eggs. It's not certain who is the boss? Their ambitions are indeed terrifying." , I'm just too content with the status quo, I don't have any sense of crisis, it's time for me to review myself."

I nodded and said, "Hey, that's right. It's enough to have this attitude. Your starting point is so much higher than others. If you don't do as well as others, then I will underestimate you. The funds belong to others. It is not better, reduce the risk of your own investment. If you invest successfully, everyone is happy. If you fail to invest, you will lose nothing more than time, energy, and you can make a comeback. But if you invest with your entire net worth, once you fail , and there is nothing left."

Shi Shi asked very modestly: "Brother Fei, tell me, what else should I pay attention to?"

I smiled and said: "You are the big boss of several companies, and you still come to ask me how to manage it? I am just a director of a company, and our President Dong wants me to learn from you!"

Shi Shi said dissatisfiedly: "You are not being kind. You were still lecturing me just now. Why did you turn around and become humble? I am an expert in design, but I am not as good as you in business."

I hastily said: "You are too modest, you make money much better than me, I am just living under Dong Zong's protection."

Shi Shi snorted and said: "You are boring. Aunt Dong told me more than once that without you, there would be no people today. I know what she said was not polite. I also know Yaoyang. We used to be You were in a circle, and then he went ashore, his evaluation of you..."

I shook my head and said, "You don't need to say it, and I don't need to listen to it. What kind of good things can you say? Even if there are, it's still a compliment to me. I've heard too many good things, and I don't want to hear them anymore!"

Shi Shi asked with a smile: "Really? I really don't want to hear how he evaluates you?"

I said firmly, "I don't want to, it's really nothing to listen to. I don't really care about what other people think of me, and I don't need to care."

Du Shiyang affirmed my statement: "This is true, he doesn't seem to care much about what others think of him?"

Shi Shi gave a thumbs up and said, "It's not easy to live like you! Free and easy!"

I said seriously: "It's not that I live a free and easy life, it's that I can think freely. Think about it, we have to live under the eyes of many people every day. We look at the faces of our parents at home, the faces of our leaders and colleagues at work, and the faces of our friends when we entertain and relax." , When you go to a bank to withdraw money, you have to look at the face of the bank staff. Everyone is the same person, why should I have to look at the face of others and live according to your ideas? This is too tiring. Of course, I say this, it is more selfish and too disregarded and other people's feelings, but if you take into account other people's feelings, they don't take into account your feelings? If they care about you, they will naturally understand your feelings, then they want you to live as they want to live , then it doesn’t matter, it’s a bit convoluted, I don’t know if you understand it?”

The two nodded and shook their heads again.

I concluded: "In a nutshell, in a nutshell, it is just a word, go your own way, say sorry if you step on someone else's foot, and give way if you block someone else's path, so that your own path will be smoother!"

Shi Shi nodded and said: "It seems quite reasonable, but I don't think it's reasonable! I'm just talking about it! Let me tell you something serious. Recently, our company wants to make a movie and I want to borrow your restaurant to shoot the scene. You can see it. no?"

I nodded and said, "What's the big deal? Just use it, and it won't affect the normal business operation, right?"

Shi Shi wondered: "It may be closed!"

I hesitated and asked, "How many days?"

Shi Shi replied: "About a month!"

I groaned and said, "What? One month? That's not okay. I can't decide this matter. I have to ask our boss!"

Shi Shi cut it and said, "Aren't you the boss? What are you pretending to do? If you don't want to, forget it, I'll pay for it!"

I shook my head and said, "I'm really not the biggest boss. Besides, how much money can you give? Do you know how much the restaurant's daily turnover is? I'll be locked up for a month, and my seafood will stink. What about the number of customers in the later period? This is all a problem. If you want to choose a scene, I can make the decision if it does not affect the normal business. But you have been here for a month, so I must close the store, which is definitely not possible! This is an open restaurant, not a hotel."

Shi Shi thought for a while and said, "Well, this drama is out, and I'll share it with you. What do you think?"

I thought for a while and said, "How many points?"

Shi Shi said without hesitation: "I will give you 0.5% profit."

I asked, "How big is the production? Can it be a blockbuster?"

Shi Shi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose any money!"

I curled my lips and said, "In this world, the only people who can make money without losing money are those who lend money from the bank, or those who just rob the bank!"

Shi Shi asked eagerly, "Is it going to work?"

I shook my head and said, "No! I can't decide this matter, I have to go back and ask my family leader!"
