Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 108: Reports Continue to Ferment (Please Give Me a 5-Star Review!!!)

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

He speculated that the news in the newspaper might have had an effect, and some people became very interested in the worldly life and came to explore and consume.

Some customers even asked the waiter: "Is your boss the Hao Qiang who wrote the song?"

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

"Yes, our boss is young, pretty, and speaks well. We all like him and are his fans."

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

After lunch,

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

CUHK freshman starts business, earns tens of millions annually

Musical genius Hao Qiang is actually a CUHK student

……

These reports provide in-depth descriptions around keywords such as "freshman", "get rich quickly", and "musical talent".

Last year, someone with assets of 100 million yuan could rank 162nd on the national rich list, such as Li Yanhong of Baidu.

It is easy to imagine how attractive a monthly income of several million yuan would be to the general public.

In this era when monthly wages are around a thousand yuan, earning millions of yuan a year, let alone several million yuan a month, would shock the public.

In 2004, internet celebrity culture had already begun to emerge, with pioneers such as Sister Furong leading the trend.

In this era before smartphones and with M-Zones everywhere, it was easy to become famous as long as you behaved differently, boasted without shame, and had a Shamatte hairstyle.

However, it is still difficult for internet celebrities of today to use their fame to gain actual benefits, unless they participate in TV shows to receive appearance fees, or frequently take on advertisements to hype topics.

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

These labels are enough to make countless young people envious.

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

Unlike those internet celebrities who have an overly inflated sense of self-esteem, Hao Qiang presents a positive image.

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

January 30th happens to be a Sunday.

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

Normally, such interview programs require a full week of video editing and post-processing.

However, in some cases, especially when the coverage is time-sensitive, the program production team will take expedited measures to get it on air quickly.

Hao Qiang's incident this time happened to be at the center of public opinion, 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 lags during the entire process. This 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 business today was much better than last weekend, and he was in a happier mood.

After thinking about it, he decided to call his mother to share the news, thinking that his parents would be very happy.

Maybe it's not much of 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 recognition.

"Mom, I'll be interviewed on Yuecheng TV's 'Economic Life' show tonight at 19:50 PM."

"Really? Then let's take a good look at it tonight."

Liu Fengqing was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen when she suddenly received a call. When she heard that her son was on TV, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

The mother and son chatted for a while, talking about the decoration of their home and asking about the business of their son's store.

After Liu Fengqing hung up the phone, she excitedly went to the living room and told her husband, who was watching TV, "Our son will be on TV tonight! Yuecheng TV at 19:50 PM. Don't forget."

"Oh, really?" Hao Jianjun was slightly surprised.

"My son just called, what do you think?"

"Is it 19:50 PM on Guangdong TV?"

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

If I could be on TV, I would definitely become famous.

Thinking of this, Hao Jianjun showed a proud smile on his face.

"Yes, why don't you give them a call and ask."

After hearing what his wife said, Hao Jianjun actually called his son.

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

"Wife, kill a chicken tonight and ask uncle and the others to come over for dinner. I'll go to the village to buy some cooked vegetables."

"Okay, we don't have many chickens left. Let's go see which family in the village has better chickens in a few days and buy a few more." Liu Fengqing nodded happily. There were only five castrated roosters at home. Killing one would mean one less rooster.

According to local customs, no matter how rich or poor you are, it is necessary to have a few local chickens at home during the Chinese New Year.

Whether you are burning incense and worshipping Buddha, or visiting friends and relatives, you will need it.

Moreover, when there is a happy event, chickens will be killed to celebrate.

In the local rural areas, every household raises some chickens. They usually eat grains and leftovers, and sell a few when they are short of money. Therefore, local chickens are not expensive, only slightly more expensive than pork. It is hard for outsiders to imagine and they think they are feed chickens.

In fact, authentic local chickens are relatively easy to identify by looking at whether there are thick calluses on the soles of the chicken's feet. Authentic local chickens dig the soil for a long time, and their nails are also very dull.

The so-called free-range chickens bought online in later generations generally don’t taste very good.

Hao Jianjun happily left home and went to the delicatessen stall outside the village store to buy a lemon duck.

"Jianjun, what's the good news? You're so generous tonight that you bought 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 Yuecheng TV at 19:50 PM tonight."

"Oh, what big thing is on TV?" The shop owner and the people around were surprised and curious.

"It's a TV interview. If you're interested, you can watch it." Hao Jianjun said with a smile, pretending to be mysterious. If he told them too much detail, they might not watch it.

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

Originally, he thought he would have to wait until his son came back driving a luxury car to provide better proof.

But, people might say that his son borrowed the car to show off.

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

Around seven in the evening,

Hao Qiang's grandparents, uncle and aunt, as well as 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. They were all curious about how Hao Qiang would appear on the show.

"When Hao Jian comes back for the Lunar New Year, tell him to stop working at the electronics factory and get him to learn how to drive and help buy food," Hao Jianjun said to his boss, Hao Jianmin. "This is also Aqiang's suggestion."

The eldest son 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 he doesn't even have a girlfriend.

In rural areas, people in their twenties are already at the age to get married.

"Well, wait for him to come back and ask for his opinion." Hao Jianmin, who is nearly fifty years old, smiled innocently. He never thought that his nephew would make a fortune and become a famous person.

Hao Qiang's aunt Chen Fen was filled with emotion: "Aqiang and Ajian used to smoke voles and fish for eels together when we were little. I can't believe time flies so fast. Aqiang has become so successful."

Grandma Hao Qiang said happily: "Ajian doesn't know about Aqiang yet. If he knew, he would probably be shocked."

"That's for sure. When my aunt told me about Aqiang, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Chen Hua said happily, with wrinkles on her face squeezed into ravines.

Even though my nephew has become rich, he still hasn't forgotten his brother. His love for him is not in vain.

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

Hao Jianjun spent three to four thousand yuan on his new Skyworth color TV.

That night, countless families were also watching Yuecheng TV.

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