Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing

At noon, Hao Qiang found that the turnover was slightly higher than usual.

He guessed that it was probably because the news in the newspaper had an effect. Some people became very interested in the world and came to find out and consume.

Some customers even asked the waiter: “Is your boss the Hao Qiang who writes songs?”

Although the number of customers asking was not large, it was enough to prove that these customers had seen the reports about Hao Qiang.

“Yes, our boss is young and beautiful, and speaks well. We all like him and are his fans.”

After getting confirmation from the waiter, these customers showed surprise on their faces.

After lunch,

Hao Qiang browsed the Internet and found that news about himself was popping up like mushrooms after rain.

“A freshman from Zhongda University started a business and earned tens of millions a year”

“The music genius Hao Qiang is actually a student of Zhongda University”

…

These reports are described in depth around keywords such as “freshman”, “get rich”, and “musical talent”.

Last year, a person with an asset of 100 million yuan could be ranked 162nd on the national rich list, such as Li Yanhong of Baidu.

It is conceivable how attractive a monthly income of several million yuan is to the general public.

In this era of monthly wages of around 1,000 yuan, let alone a monthly income of several million yuan, earning more than one million yuan a year can also shock the public.

In 2004, the culture of Internet celebrities has begun to emerge, and pioneers such as Sister Furong are leading the trend.

In this era when there are no smartphones and the streets are full of dynamic zones, as long as your words and deeds are different, you are not ashamed to brag about yourself, and you have a Shamatte Zangai hairstyle, it is easy to become popular.

However, it is still difficult for Internet celebrities of this age to use their fame to obtain actual benefits, unless they participate in TV shows to get appearance fees, or frequently take advertisements to hype topics.

Hao Qiang himself also has all the elements to become an Internet celebrity: he is the lyricist and composer of three popular songs, handsome, started a business in his freshman year, rich, and a top student in the middle school!

These labels are enough to make countless young people envious.

The media also dug deeper into more information about him, such as that he came from a poor family and had outstanding singing and dancing talents.

Unlike those Internet celebrities who have an overly inflated sense of self, Hao Qiang’s image is positive.

After his story and talent were widely spread on the Internet and newspapers, more and more young people began to admire him and regarded him as their idol.

January 30th happened to be a Sunday.

Hao Qiang received a call from Lin Xueshan in the morning, informing him that his program was scheduled to be broadcast tonight.

Normally, such interview programs require a full week to be reserved for video editing and post-processing.

However, in some cases, especially when the content of the report is highly time-sensitive, the program production team will take expedited measures to broadcast it quickly.

Hao Qiang’s incident happened to be at the cusp of the storm, so the situation is special.

It is worth mentioning that Hao Qiang showed extraordinary calmness and composure during the interview, and there were no mistakes or freezes during the whole process, which greatly improved the efficiency of post-editing and enabled the program to meet the audience quickly.

At four o’clock in the afternoon,

Hao Qiang found that today’s business was much better than last weekend, and he was in a happier mood.

After thinking for a while, he decided to call his mother to share the news. His parents would probably be very happy.

Maybe it’s not an honor for him, but it’s a great thing for his parents.

After all, for most ordinary people, being interviewed and broadcast by a TV station is undoubtedly a rare honor and affirmation.

“Mom, tonight at 19:50, Guangdong Satellite TV’s “Economic Life” program will have my TV interview.”

“Really? Let’s take a good look at it tonight.”

Liu Fengqing, who was busy making dinner in the kitchen, suddenly received a call. When she heard her son on TV, she smiled with relief on her face.

The mother and son chatted for a while, roughly talking about the decoration of the house, and also asked about the business of her son’s store.

After Liu Fengqing hung up the phone, she excitedly came to the living room and told her husband who was watching TV: “Son will be on TV tonight! Guangdong Satellite TV at 19:50, don’t forget it.”

“Oh, really?” Hao Jianjun was slightly surprised.

“My son just called me, what do you think?”

“Is it Guangdong Satellite TV at 19:50?”

Hao Jianjun confirmed again, and did not doubt his son’s words. After all, his son is also a celebrity, but he is too low-key and few people know about him.

If he can be on TV, he will definitely become famous.

Thinking of this, Hao Jianjun smiled proudly.

“Yes, why don’t you call and ask.”

After hearing what his wife said, Hao Jianjun really gave his sonI called.

After a while, the call was connected. Hao Jianjun repeatedly confirmed this with his son before hanging up the phone. He excitedly said to his wife:

“Wife, kill a chicken tonight and ask my uncle to come over for dinner. I’ll go to the village to buy some cooked dishes.”

“Okay, there are not many chickens left. Let’s see which chickens are good in the village in a few days and buy a few more.” Liu Fengqing nodded happily. There were only five castrated roosters at home. Killing one less would be one less.

According to local customs, no matter if you have money or not, you can’t have no chickens at home during the New Year.

Whether it is burning incense and worshiping Buddha, or visiting relatives and friends, they are needed.

Moreover, chickens will be killed to celebrate some happy events.

In the local rural areas, every household raises some. Usually, they eat grains and leftovers. If they are short of money, they will sell a few. Therefore, local chickens are not expensive, only a little more expensive than pork. Outsiders can hardly imagine it and think it is feed chicken.

In fact, it is relatively easy to identify authentic native chickens. You can see if there are thick calluses on the soles of the chickens’ feet. Authentic native chickens have been digging the soil for a long time, and their nails are also very blunt.

The so-called native chickens bought online in later generations generally do not taste very good.

Hao Jianjun happily left home and came to the cooked food stall outside the village store to buy a lemon duck.

“Jianjun, what’s the good news? You are so generous tonight, buy a whole duck.” The boss asked with a smile.

Hao Jianjun took out a cigarette and handed it to the boss, saying proudly: “My son will be on Guangdong Satellite TV at 19:50 tonight.”

“Oh, what big thing is on TV?” The store owner and the people around were surprised and curious.

“It’s a TV interview. If you are interested, you can watch it.” Hao Jianjun said with a smile, pretending to be mysterious. If he told them too much, they might not watch it.

When he came back, the villagers said that he was a security guard in Yuecheng. No matter how he explained it, no one believed it.

Originally, he thought it would be better to wait until his son came back in a luxury car.

However, maybe others would say that his son borrowed the car to show off.

After buying the cooked food, Hao Jianjun went to the store to buy alcohol and cigarettes, trying to let the villagers in the store know that his son was on TV.

At around seven o’clock in the evening,

Hao Qiang’s grandparents, uncle and aunt, and Hao Qiang’s parents gathered together.

After dinner, the two families sat in the living room drinking tea, chatting and eating melon seeds, waiting for the TV program to start, and were curious about how Hao Qiang would appear on the program.

“When Hao Jian comes back for the New Year, let him not work in the electronics factory, let him learn to drive and help buy food.” Hao Jianjun said to the boss Hao Jianmin, “This is also Aqiang’s suggestion.”

The eldest brother also has only one son, Hao Jian, and a daughter, Hao Xiaofeng, who is already married.

Hao Jian is 23 years old this year, and has not yet married, and has not even talked about a girlfriend.

In rural areas, people in their twenties are already at the age of marriage.

“Well, wait for him to come back and ask for his opinion.” Hao Jianmin, who is nearly fifty years old, smiled innocently. He could not believe that his nephew had made a fortune and became a famous person.

Hao Qiang’s aunt Chen Fen was full of emotion: “Aqiang and Ajian used to smoke voles and fish eels together when they were young. I could not believe that time passed so quickly and Aqiang has made great progress.”

Hao Qiang’s grandmother said happily: “Ajian does not know about Aqiang yet. If he knew, he would be shocked.”

“That’s for sure. When Auntie told me about Aqiang, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.” Chen Hua said happily, with wrinkles on her face.

The nephew made a fortune, but he did not forget his brother. He did not love him in vain.

The two families talked and laughed, occasionally staring at the time on the TV.

Hao Jianjun spent three or four thousand yuan on the newly bought Skyworth color TV.

That night, countless families were watching Guangdong Satellite TV.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was 19:50, and the Guangdong Satellite TV program “Economic Life” officially began.
