Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

There was another opening remark, and then the first program came on stage, sung by Teacher Li Guyi.

Zhao Shanhe just took a sip of water and almost spit it out. Who did he hear? It was the teacher he knew, the teacher who had starred in the Unforgettable Tonight, which was a main attraction of the Spring Festival Gala over the years.

Sure enough, it was that teacher who came on stage. Zhao Shanhe waved to An Tong sitting at the table behind him, asking him to come over.

Zhao Antong came over, bent down and stood beside Zhao Shanhe and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shanhe asked, "Tell me, who else did you invite? Even Mr. Zhao from the hosting industry and Mr. Li from the singing industry are here."

"Dad, didn't you give me one million? You said we could spend as much as we wanted. At first we hired a troupe of actors, but it only cost a few thousand dollars. So Ansong said we could invite those people from the Spring Festival Gala, so we invited everyone we could."

"Let's get to the point. Who else?"

“For example, Mr. Benshan, Ms. Huang, and Ms. Lirong who performed skits.

There are teachers like Ma and Jiang who are good at crosstalk, teachers like Li, Wang and Liu who are good at singing, and teachers like Ma and Wang who are good at acting in dramas.

"There are also Teacher Liu from Journey to the West, Teacher Ma, Teacher Cui, Buddha, Guanyin, Fairy Chang'e, etc."

"Is it the Benshan who performed the blind date show at last year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"Well, it's him."

Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that so many big bowls in the future were invited, so he asked, "Is one million enough?"

"It's enough. The most expensive appearance fee is from Mr. Ma and his crosstalk group, which is only 100,000 yuan. Mr. Li is 50,000 yuan. Others are 20,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan. We have invested in the Journey to the West crew, so they just charged a friendly price. Time is tight, so these are the only ones who can make it. Otherwise, we can hire a few more."

"Then you have to entertain well."

"Don't worry, Dad. The travel expenses, food and lodging are all covered. I will greet them after this is over and will definitely treat them well."

"How about this, let's prepare the banquet in advance and put it in our hall. We can eat and perform at the same time, so that people don't have to wait."

"Dad, I'm afraid not. Many people are wearing makeup and can't eat now. Let's wait until after it's over."

"How about this, you and your second uncle go to the hotel accountant to get an advance on some money, make some red envelopes, and then give everyone a big red envelope later."

"Dad, no need. The performance fee has already been negotiated. Just give me a red envelope as a token of my appreciation."

"You know nothing. These people are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry. You should build a good relationship with them first. It will be much easier for them to endorse us or invite us to events in the future."

"You have forgotten the effect that Journey to the West brought to our electrical appliance factory and clothing factory. The red envelopes are far less than the profits they brought. For example, if Mr. Ma's Cosmic brand cigarettes were sold to our company, think about it, An Tong, how much would the red envelopes be worth? Dad has always said that we need to be more open-minded."

"I see, Dad, how much is appropriate for that package?"

"Ten thousand per person, too little is meaningless."

"Dad, did the troupe give each person 10,000 yuan? It only cost a few thousand yuan to hire them."

Zhao Shanhe pointed at his head and said, "Can you please use your brain? I'm talking about the ones that are on the Spring Festival Gala. You should book a smaller troupe."

Zhao Shanhe turned around and said to Zhao Shanhu, "Shanhu, go and ask An Tong to withdraw some money from the hotel account first. You are the chairman and you can do it. I will make up for it later. I have told An Tong."

"Also, there are so many celebrities here today, don't you have any ideas?"

"Brother, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed. The host seems to be Teacher Zhao, and the one who can sing is Teacher Li."

"Well, it's them. They were all invited by these guys. Do you have any ideas?"

"Any ideas?"

"Why don't you ask them to advertise for your company? They are household names. Isn't this the best advertising?"

"Brother, you are amazing. You even thought of the company. Then I will go with An Tong."

After An Tong and Shan Hu left, Teacher Li sang two more songs, a total of three songs before leaving. Now please enjoy the crosstalk performance brought by Mr. Ma.

The crosstalk made everyone laugh so hard that Aunt Chen never stopped smiling. Zhao Shanhe also felt very lucky to have the opportunity to watch these people perform up close. If it were a few years later, the Tian family might not be able to invite these people.

An Tong and his kids really did a good thing. They are really lucky.

After the crosstalk performance, there was a birthday celebration for Journey to the West. All the gods and Buddhas in the sky sent their blessings to Aunt Chen, but of course they didn’t invite the King of Hell.

After the Journey to the West performance, there was singing and dancing. After the singing and dancing, a song brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Then there were singing and dancing, and drama, and then Mr. Benshan, who looked old even though he was young, made a brilliant appearance. Mr. Benshan is truly talented, as he created a new program in just a few days. Zhao Shanhe had never seen one before, and it made everyone laugh.

After the skit was over, Aunt Chen said distressedly, "Shanhe, it must have cost a lot of money to hire this person? Just watch it on TV, it's such a waste."

"Aunt Chen, just enjoy the show. It doesn't cost much. The main purpose is to invite them to advertise for the company. Once the advertisement is released, sales will increase and you can earn more than this.

Even if you don't invite them to celebrate your birthday, you will find them later. We are just offering gifts to the Buddha."

"Shanhe, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Shanhu?"

After the stars have finished their performances, the invited opera troupe will go on stage, and their performance will last for a relatively long time.

An Tong came over and called Shan Hu, "Dad, my second uncle and I will go over to entertain them. They will leave soon."

"I'll go with you. I want to meet these artists, too."

With that, the three of them stood up and prepared to leave, and Zhao Shanhe said something to Aunt Chen.

Zhao Shanhai asked, "Big brother, second brother, and nephew, where are you going?"

"Go entertain the artists who just finished their performance."

"I'll go too. I really like Mr. Ma's crosstalk."

As Zhao Shanhai spoke, he also stood up and followed.

When we arrived at the next box, these big guys had already taken off their makeup and started chatting and eating.

There are more than twenty people, and the average cost is less than 50,000. This one million is totally worth it.

After Zhao Shanhe and several 1.9-meter-tall men came in, everyone's eyes were on them. It was hard not to attract attention.

Just as An Tong was about to open his mouth to introduce himself, Zhao Shanhe indicated that it was not necessary and took the initiative to introduce, "Dear artists, thank you for your hard work. My name is Zhao Shanhe, and this is Zhao Shanhu and Zhao Shanhai. We are sorry to bother you all. On behalf of the Zhao family, I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to celebrate my mother's birthday."

When these artists saw the host coming, they were also very polite and expressed their gratitude one after another. This was the financial sponsor, especially Zhao Shanhu and Zhao Shanhai, two business tycoons who were well-known to them.
