The mountain city is famous both at home and abroad for being the hometown of hotpot.
It is not just a temporary internet celebrity. If you observe from a geographical perspective, you will find that there are dozens of mountain ranges on the surface of the mountain city, running from northeast to southwest, arranged almost in parallel, like the strings of the earth.
These strings play out the beautiful music of this 3D magical city of Shancheng, which has been echoing for thousands of years.
The mountain city in the fog, viewed from the top of Nanshan Mountain, looks like a palace in the clouds. The city in the sky is looming and floating above the clouds.
In an old teahouse, Yang Fan was drinking tea with Lao Zhao.
Sitting opposite were two other well-dressed men—people from the publicity and public relations department of Yantuan.
Although it is still Sunday afternoon today, except for the most disadvantaged people at the bottom of society who work regardless of holidays, successful people do the same.
Yang Fan and Lao Zhao are considered successful people, at least that's what Lao Zhao thinks.
The two people from Yantuan's announcement department also think that they are successful people, otherwise they would not have been sent all the way from Yanjing to Shancheng by the company to have tea with a channel director of Shancheng TV Station and the director of the "A Bite of China" program.
This bowl of tea may be worth millions.
Unless you are a successful person, who dares and who can drink it
The people in the Yantuan Publicity Department were thinking this. As the host, Yang Fan politely said, "You two can have some tea first. A bowl of tea here is three yuan. You can add as much water as you want. There is no upper limit. We can drink until the evening."
The two men who were dreaming of being successful people were immediately brought back to reality and said politely, "Okay, this is a great place to drink tea. The decoration looks very tasteful."
Yang Fan nodded: "Yes, whether it is the covered tea bowls, tables and chairs, or the beams and decorations, this teahouse has been preserved very intact."
Lao Zhao strives to maintain inner peace and integrate into the world of tea culture.
Before coming here, he heard Yang Fan introduce this place, and he described it as fascinating.
He said that every brick and tile, every cup of tea and every customer here seemed to be frozen in this bustling city, unaffected by the flow of time.
The dim lights make this place seem particularly lazy, and the old-fashioned style of utensils brings people back to the era of our grandfathers.
But there is no vicissitudes here, only stories full of years.
Although Old Zhao is a grown man, he also likes to listen to stories about the past.
So after receiving Yang Fan's call, he left his wife and daughter and ran over happily.
Logically speaking, Lao Zhao doesn't need to come for this tea.
But Yang Fan also said, I even left my future wife behind and came here to have tea with the sponsors just to get funding for the program. Your wife and daughter can’t run away, so shouldn’t they come over too
Old Zhao had nothing to hesitate about.
The presence of the channel director can indeed increase sponsors’ confidence in their investments.
"Our mountain city has been a place that loves drinking tea since ancient times. It's just that modern society is too fast-paced and people have forgotten about the gaiwan tea in a hurry." Yang Fan played the role of a good host and introduced the mountain city culture to the guests from afar.
After a long period of baptism and sedimentation, many ancient cultures gradually fade away, leaving only the nostalgia of the older generation.
Tea culture is one of them.
In the eyes of many cultural figures in the mountain city, the old teahouse is the best representative of the mountain city's culture besides hot pot.
This most authentic old teahouse in the mountain city is hidden beneath the bustling skyscrapers.
It is not only a teahouse, but also a living fossil of the development of mountain city culture and art.
The guests here include retired old men, migrant workers, students from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, singers, actors, and film directors.
The cultural context of this city is deeply imprinted in this old teahouse.
"Mr. Yang is indeed a cultured man." The people from Yantuan were quite flattering to Yang Fan, because before they came, the leader said that as long as the other party's request was not too excessive, it could be met.
This is a bit intriguing.
There was a man and a woman, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
Yang Fan is a man and should not be interested in men.
It is definitely excessive to ask for having a baby. I don’t know if it is excessive to just take a shower and sleep together. This is what the female public relations thought before coming.
After seeing Yang Fan, she immediately had no doubts.
Having children is not excessive.
I’m afraid Yang Fan won’t mention this.
A more superficial woman simply wants to find a good-looking husband.
A smart woman does not just want to find a good-looking husband, she also wants to get his ancestral chromosomes so that her children can inherit his powerful genes - good looks.
Good looks are a cheat. Who wouldn’t want to have one since birth
As soon as he saw Yang Fan, the male PR knew that he would be the only one who could take the heavy responsibility on Yantuan's side in today's negotiations.
Because female public relations can no longer distinguish between north and south.
Although he couldn't tell the difference, that was because he was unfamiliar with the place, not because of Yang Fan.
"I'm not a cultured person." Yang Fan shook his head: "I'm just a person with unrealistic dreams."
"What is Mr. Yang's dream?" asked the male PR after taking a sip of tea.
Yang Fan said: "In the past, I had a dream that everyone could have delicious food."
Both the male and female PR officers nodded, saying it was indeed unrealistic.
"Later, I found that it was impossible to do it, even if I was the richest man in the world." Yang Fan said: "So, I changed my dream and wanted to make a food show so that everyone can see the food, and it doesn't matter if they can't eat it."
What a great dream! The female PR became more and more fond of Yang Fan.
But she still retained a bit of rationality. She knew that this was work and she couldn't do whatever she wanted.
What she can do now is to stop flattering the male PR, increase the difficulty of negotiation for Yang Fan, and let the male PR play freely.
The male PR knew that the negotiation was about to begin, so he said, "Mr. Yang, we've read your program's text and ideas, and we think they're pretty good."
He didn't say it was very good, he wanted to lower the price.
Yang Fan had clearly marked the sponsorship price in the document, and the people from Yantuan came here to bargain down the price.
But the female PR didn’t know that Yantuan had to pay the price no matter what.
But the leader would not say this to the people in the public relations department. If you can save money, why not
It depends on the ability of the people in the public relations department.
So the male PR tried his best to lower the price.
Yang Fan was quite reasonable at the beginning, saying that insufficient funds would affect the quality of the program.
Affecting the quality of the program will of course affect the ratings and exposure.
In this way, all will prosper and suffer together, and Yantuan will not be much better off, so it is better to just do it.
The male PR found fault again, saying that the local TV station's programs were not worth so much sponsorship fee.
He just wanted to say that if it weren't for the shareholders' introduction, this sponsorship would be considered a friendly sponsorship, otherwise only a fool would invest like this.
But he didn't say it in the end, he wasn't stupid.
Old Zhao didn't say anything, just drank his tea and watched Yang Fan and the male PR confront each other.
Finally, Yang Fan lost his patience and threw a file bag onto the tea table.
When the male PR saw the words on the file bag, his face suddenly changed.
