Suddenly, Sun Quan stepped on the brakes and the car stopped under the shade of a tree on the side of the road. The dim light from the street lights passed through the gaps in the branches and shone on the car, making it look very mottled.
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Shuiqing in the passenger seat looked at him doubtfully.
Sun Quan raised his head slightly and gestured to the car window next to her. Yuan Shuiqing followed his gaze and looked doubtfully, but saw a familiar face outside the car window - Liu Guangfu.
Liu Guangfu must have come out to throw away garbage. Yuan Shuiqing saw that he was carrying two garbage bags in his hands, and there was a large trash can not far away.
At this time, Sun Quan and she saw Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangfu also saw them through the car window.
Maybe because he recognized the car, or maybe because the car suddenly stopped in front of him, Liu Guangfu subconsciously looked at the people in the car, and that's why he saw Yuan Shuiqing and Sun Quan in the car.
Suddenly seeing these two people here, Liu Guangfu was stunned.
Uh, who is Liu Guangfu?
The earliest chef of the old 99 Braised Chicken restaurant! The chef who married a little widow and gave birth to a son in his forties.
A few months ago, he thought he had mastered the method of braised chicken, so he and Sun Quan resigned and started their own business.
"Would you like to go down and take a look?"
Sun Quan suddenly smiled and asked Yuan Shuiqing.
Yuan Shuiqing glanced at him, a little surprised, "What do you want to see?"
"It's better to take a look!"
With that said, Sun Quan turned off the car, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car. Yuan Shuiqing hesitated slightly, unbuckled his seat belt and followed.
"Porphyrin" twice, Liu Guangfu threw the garbage bag in his hand into the trash can.
Hearing the sound of the car door opening and closing, he turned around and met Sun Quan's eyes who had just gotten out of the car.
His brows were frowned, but Sun Quan's eyes were smiling.
He looked at Sun Quan, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and Sun Quan also looked at him.
Sun Quan found that Liu Guangfu, whom he hadn't seen for several months, had become darker and thinner. He was also a bit greasy. He was no longer wearing a chef's uniform. He was wearing a dark blue coat that reached to his knees.
Planting coats.
Sun Quan recognized this kind of coat at a glance as the kind that clerks in dry goods stores like to wear while working.
"Sun...Boss Sun! Are you coming out to play? Haha."
Liu Guangfu greeted Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing with a bit of embarrassment.
Yuan Shuiqing smiled lightly. She was not familiar with Liu Guangfu, and she had always been a bit distant and cold towards people she was not familiar with.
Sun Quan's smile was quite natural, he nodded slightly, took out the cigarette case, handed a cigarette to Liu Guangfu, and asked casually: "Is your store open here?"
Liu Guangfu quickly took it with both hands and said repeatedly: "That's right! It's over there!"
He turned around and pointed. Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, they saw a very inconspicuous small storefront with a low door head and an ordinary red sign. The name of the store on the sign surprised them.
Quite speechless - "999 Braised Chicken".
This is the typical heat of 99 braised chicken!
Sun Quan smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Guangfu, and said with a half-smile, "I'll ask someone to come and dig out one of those three 9's later, and then I'll have a lawyer sue you for impersonating our 99 braised chicken!"
Liu Guangfu was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Shuiqing also looked at Sun Quan in surprise.
Such a ridiculous leg-breaking operation, he thought of it in the blink of an eye? Who is this person?
Liu Guangfu came back to his senses and waved his hands with a wry smile on his face, "No! Boss Sun, I know that your business has become big now, so don't worry about such a trivial matter with me. Doing so is beneath your status! Besides, I
The business here is really average, it has been losing money recently, and I’m thinking about when to close it.”
Sun Quan's expression showed no surprise, he just smiled slightly.
He had long expected that Liu Guangfu would not succeed in starting a business. He had gone astray from the beginning and had problems as a person. How could he succeed in the business?
He does not deny that there are many people with questionable character in this world who are indeed prosperous.
But for that kind of people, even if their character is a problem, their abilities are very strong.
And is Liu Guangfu very capable?
He just has a strong ability to make little widows!
After seeing the inconspicuous little store with a sign similar to 999 Pi Yanping, Sun Quan had no interest in walking into the store to take a look. He raised his hand and patted Liu Guangfu on the upper arm and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just a joke. Don't worry.
Nervous! We still have something to do, so we’ll leave first. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he motioned for Yuan Shuiqing to get in the car.
"Uh, bye!"
Liu Guangfu waved goodbye with a complicated expression. Yuan Shuiqing had not spoken since he got off the car, and he did not speak now either. He just smiled lightly, opened the door and returned to the car.
Liu Guangfu stood on the side of the road, watching them get into the car and watching their car gradually go away.
He still held the cigarette handed to him by Sun Quan in his hand. He had forgotten to smoke it and the cigarette was burning quietly between his fingers.
After a while, his wife walked up to him with her child in her arms, followed his line of sight and looked into the night. She didn't see anything in particular, so she touched his calf with her foot, frowned and asked: "
Hey! What are you looking at? It seems like you have lost your soul."
Liu Guangfu glanced at her and sighed slightly: "Oh, it's the boss and his wife of the previous store. They happened to pass by here and saw me throwing away garbage, so they got out of the car and chatted with me."
His wife was a little confused, "Which store was there before? You mean the 99 braised chicken?"
Liu Guangfu hummed.
His wife: "What did they talk to you about?"
Liu Guangfu shook his head slightly and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. "We didn't talk about anything. We just said hello, looked at the sign of our store, and then left."
His wife was startled, "Just left like that?"
Liu Guangfu laughed, "What else? Do we still expect them to treat me to dinner? Or should we treat them to dinner?"
His wife was speechless.
…
In the car.
Yuan Shuiqing asked Sun Quan funny, "Are you happy to see that his business has not started?"
Sun Quan chuckled, "Did you notice?"
Yuan Shuiqing was speechless and laughed.
Sometimes she feels that she is a very childish boy, as petty as a rapeseed.
…
For Sun Quan, this episode was over. He didn't take it to heart, and he didn't really ask someone to pick off the "9" on the 999 Braised Chicken after he returned, and then asked a lawyer to sue Liu Guangfu.
He is not that bored, and he is too lazy to worry about trivial matters with Liu Guangfu.
Unless Liu Guangfu really had the ability to expand the business of that small shop, he would have the possibility to take action. But since Liu Guangfu jumped out as expected, he had no interest in taking action.
Anyway, even if he wins the lawsuit, Liu Guangfu won't be able to pay much money. Even if he sells a small store and gives him all the money, it won't be much.
After this day, his mind was again on his own works.
He had high hopes for the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
Perhaps in this era, no one knows better than him that in a few years, Internet IPs will be hotly speculated by capital.
Sun Quan remembers that when the concept of IP was the most hyped, the film and television rights of a work by many great masters from Qidian were sold for tens of millions of dollars.
It was in those few years that the great masters at Qidian all became extremely rich.
At first, everyone was extremely poor, but after the IP craze hit, the great masters who started with a little bit of fame quickly gained tens of millions of dollars, and several had over 100 million.
Before that, Sun Quan remembered very clearly that during a certain writer's summit at Qidian, an interesting story spread throughout the Internet literary circle - a certain great master was at home. I don't know whether it was really a misfortune or a misfortune. Anyway, when attending the writers' summit,
His outfit is very shabby, and his mobile phone is an outdated one.
It seems that at that summit, the great master spoke for himself and asked Qidian to slightly improve everyone's treatment.
…
But then again, it was probably the IP craze in those years that made many great masters extremely rich. After that, the creative enthusiasm of these great masters seriously declined.
You are rich now!
With a net worth of at least tens of millions and a lifetime of food and drink, how many people can maintain a strong creative drive? How many people are willing to let go of the colorful world outside and continue to work day after day as before?
Sitting in front of the computer and typing furiously?
As a result, although it is clear that these great gods are still young, around thirty years old, and in the prime of life, book fans have gradually discovered that these great gods seem to be on their last legs.
With just a few minor changes to an outline, you can write several new books.
The works are becoming more and more routine and lack new ideas.
Many book fans think that these great masters have failed to keep up with the times, but Sun Quan has always believed that this is not the case. It is money that has corrupted them!
The topic has gone too far, so I forcefully bring it back!
In short, Sun Quan also wants to become one of the great gods who are corrupted by money when the IP craze comes.
He believed that as long as the popularity of "Undying Dragon Ring" is high enough, the reputation is good enough, and the quality is high, when the IP is heated up by capital, there is no reason that other great gods can eat meat, but he, Sun Quan, does not have that opportunity.
In fact, he has already had this idea.
After his rebirth, when he decided to rewrite the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", he had the intention of selling the IP in the future.
He believes that the story of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", viewed as a web article, may have several poisonous points, especially when the male protagonist is killed and reincarnated every time.
But what if... this book was made into a series of movies in the future?
Each reincarnation of the male protagonist is made into a completed movie. The beginning of each movie is that the male protagonist has just been reincarnated, and at the end of the movie, there is another reincarnation.
It should be interesting to start in suspense and end in suspense, right?
It's a beautiful idea, but I don't know if it can be realized in the future.
What he can do now is to write this story carefully. The better he writes, the greater the possibility of selling the IP in the future.
When you concentrate on doing something, time flies by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, December is over.
As the story of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" gradually unfolds, the popularity and trend of the book review area finally begins to improve a little bit, and there are more and more comments discussing the plot of the book.
The atmosphere in the Xianyu group is gradually getting warmer, and even the number of people who tip this book every day is gradually increasing.
The reputation of this book seems to have been gradually reversed by Sun Quan.
