The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

Lao Xie, Zhao Yishen, Han Xiyu and Tianci were having lunch at a fly restaurant near the studio.

Because of Lao Xie's preaching, the atmosphere among them became a little awkward.

"Speaking of gossip, a certain 95-year-old actress's drama with a female lead has recently changed her male lead. This should be the eighth one." In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhao Yishen also took the initiative to talk about the gossip in the circle.

When men brag and joke around with each other, they are either discussing politics, football or games, or it is women. And if you are in the entertainment industry, even if you don't pay attention to it, you will know some gossip about the industry.

Han Xiyu looked up at Lao Xie and saw that he didn't say anything, so he boldly continued, "She rejected nine. This young actress has very high requirements for the male lead. Not only does she require him to have outstanding appearance and acting skills, but he must also be highly compatible with her role setting. However, after many rounds of screening and auditions, she still hasn't found a satisfactory partner."

"It sounds like she's pursuing perfect quality of work. Then I'm curious, what kind of role setting makes this young actress so picky?" Zhao Yishen smiled.

"Tsk, that's nonsense, do you really believe it? She is just taking this opportunity to increase her own popularity and promote herself and build her persona." Han Xiyu said disdainfully.

Zhao Yishen shrugged, didn't answer, and continued eating his noodles.

"Brother Yu, look, at three o'clock." Tianci suddenly said in a low voice.

Old Xie, Zhao Yishen was sitting with his back to Tianci and Han Xiyu. After hearing Tianci's muttering, he turned his head and took a look.

"Wow, she's so hot, with a great body, all the right curves. It's a pity that she's wearing a mask, but it makes people think more about her. I guess she's a beauty." Unexpectedly, Zhao Yishen was the first to give a positive review.

"It's not my cup of tea, but this style is very suitable for becoming an internet celebrity. Besides, Shenzi, the purpose of people wearing masks is to better modify their face shape and make themselves look more beautiful. This is intentional." Old Xie took a look and didn't look at it again.

"The focus is on the waist. Look, what is that thing that is faintly visible?" Han Xiyu seemed to have found the bright spot.

"Succubus tattoo!" Tianci shouted excitedly.

. . .

Xia Haoyang returned to his massage chair, picked up his phone and continued chatting with Zeng Jingyi without telling her what had just happened.

It’s not that Xia Haoyang didn’t dare to tell Zeng Jingyi, nor was he afraid that she would doubt him and not trust him, but he felt that since nothing had happened, he might as well give the young female student a little face.

This girl is currently a student in Class C. Although Xia Haoyang couldn't call out her name, he remembered her. She actually had a very good high pitch, but there were many outstanding sopranos among the remaining students. Perhaps she herself felt that there were too many opponents and the competition was too strong, and it would be difficult for her to enter Class A and debut smoothly with her own strength, so she wanted to take a shortcut, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person to devote herself to.

Xia Haoyang is not a moralist, nor is he an abstinent person. Like most men, he would take a few more glances at a beautiful woman and fantasize about her in his mind. But he would not be so lustful that he would want to have sex with a woman regardless of the situation, especially since he felt that this kind of thing should not be a transaction.

Many women in the entertainment industry feel that their only chance of becoming famous is through transactions like this.

. . .

"What is a succubus tattoo? Isn't it just an ordinary tattoo? Does it mean anything? Tianci, can you give me some basic knowledge?" Han Xiyu was very curious about the tattoo that just appeared on the beautiful woman's body.

Old Xie and Zhao Yishen also looked at Tianci. They didn’t know why Tianci was so excited just now.

When the three brothers were staring at him, Tianci felt a little embarrassed. He first looked around the restaurant. Although there were not many people, there were still some. So he laughed and said, "Well, that's nothing. There's nothing to say. If we're all done eating, let's leave."

Seeing Tianci's cautious look, Han Xiyu also glanced around the restaurant and said, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

On the way back to the company, several people were still chatting about gossip in the circle, such as a certain female star who knew the third party was the third, and the national son-in-law, Mr. Sicong, investing in the catering industry. In short, there is never a shortage of gossip in the entertainment circle.

"This may be the most down-to-earth entrepreneurial venture of Mr. Sicong. According to a group purchase, the average per capita consumption of Principal Niu is 47 yuan, and the main dishes such as sirloin steak, top steak, fillet steak, and ribeye steak are all priced between 20 and 30 yuan. If you use a group purchase coupon, you can buy a set meal of "steak + spaghetti bolognese + fried egg" for 20 yuan. This price is cheaper than Saizeriya, the "king of Western food substitutes." Saizeriya's fresh steak and black pepper steak are both priced at 49 yuan. Among the 52 Saizeriya stores in operation in Yancheng, 50 - that is, 96% of the stores have higher average per capita consumption than Principal Niu."

"Then let's go and try it some other day to see how the Principal Niu steak invested by Young Master Sicong tastes?" In the elevator, Tianci showed a strong interest in the "Principal Wang's Steak" restaurant founded by Young Master Sicong.

"Principal Niu also needs to recruit franchisees. The cost of opening a store in a first-tier city is about 30 to 40 yuan. The "small goal" in the first quarter of this year is to open 100 stores," said Zhao Yishen.

"Three hundred thousand is not expensive. It's not a big investment. The price of steak is also for the working class. It reminds me of the 9.9 Rising Coffee. I think Mr. Sicong's project is good." Han Xiyu analyzed.

"The catering brands that Mr. Sicong had invested in before were either on the Michelin list or had an average price of over a thousand yuan per person, which had nothing to do with "affordable". For example, Mr. Sicong had invested in brands such as Yuzhilan, Coconut Chicken, Hallasan, Lelecha, and Hefu Lamian. Yuzhilan is known as the "ceiling of private dishes in the Sichuan cuisine industry". The restaurant is located in Shu County and is the first Michelin two-star restaurant in the area. It also has a branch in Yuhang. Yuzhilan targets the sophisticated middle-class group, only accepts two tables a day, and reservations must be made three days in advance. The set meal prices are divided into several levels, with a minimum of 3 yuan per person and a maximum of 588 yuan per person.

Coconut Chicken, Hallasan and Lelecha are all large-scale businesses with hundreds or even thousands of stores, internet celebrity attributes and premium capabilities. Even the relatively affordable Hefu Lamian, the mainstream product price is still in the 16-29 yuan range after this year's price cut, compared with the 2023 yuan average customer unit price of the noodle industry in the "23 China Chinese Catering White Paper", which is at an upper-middle level.

But now low prices are king, even Young Master Sicong has shifted his focus from mid- to high-end restaurants to low-priced restaurants, and it seems that this will also lead to a new wave of investment. "As they walked and talked, they arrived at the door of their company.

"Let's not talk about Young Master Sicong's business for now. Tianci, what's that magic tattoo you were talking about just now?" Han Xiyu asked about the previous topic in the restaurant with a lewd look on his face.
