Fang Shiqing looked at Gu Xuan.
"Looks like you're about to become famous."
"What's the meaning."
Fang Shiqing said with a smile.
"This Director Wang is no ordinary person; he'll tell you about twelve fun places."
"It's nothing, is it?"
"Twelve locations, twelve episodes."
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback.
"Variety show?"
Fang Shiqing nodded.
"Yes."
Gu Xuan was stunned.
"Understood."
He had also learned about the entertainment industry in this world; there were countless programs, and many of the variety shows were similar to those in his previous life.
After Fang Shiqing said it, Gu Xuan also guessed a bit.
Is this the third season of the show?
Fang Shiqing nodded.
This show has already had two seasons filmed.
I've seen it before; it's similar to the lifestyle program I filmed in my previous life, only with a different name: "A Comfortable Life."
In addition to the work, the program also features a pleasant lifestyle and many stunning landscapes.
The scenery in the first two seasons was also nice, but this time, it was because of Fang Shiqing's promotional video that this phone call happened.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Xuan changed the subject.
Are you participating this time?
Fang Shiqing shook her head.
"I don't know. They probably haven't decided where to film yet. They'll decide on the guests after they've decided on the location."
"The regular guests are still the same people as before."
"I think so."
"It seems that nothing has been decided yet."
"Even if they extend an invitation, I can't tell you; it has to be kept secret."
Gu Xuan nodded.
"clear."
Fang Shiqing said.
"Alright, go do your thing. You still have to start the live stream. Didn't you see the comments?"
Gu Xuan opened the video platform.
I glanced at the promotional video I had posted.
In a short time, it garnered three million likes and over one million comments.
When I opened it, all I saw were messages urging me to go live.
Gu Xuan smiled helplessly.
"Okay, I'll go live now."
When she got downstairs, just as she was about to start a live stream, Nangong Jin suddenly found Gu Xuan.
"Boss, a few people have arrived."
Gu Xuan was a little curious.
"Who is it?"
"From the distillery."
Hearing Nangong Jin say this, Gu Xuan remembered the promise he had made to the winery staff yesterday.
"Tell them to go to the back of the third floor, I'll be there right away."
"good."
"Serve them some good tea and a little wine."
"What kind of wine should we make?"
“Take out one bottle of each type.”
"good."
I want these people to taste the wine I brewed.
Just as he was about to leave, one of the people at the front desk found Gu Xuan.
"Boss, a few people have arrived."
Gu Xuan frowned slightly.
"Who is it?"
"They said they were in the fruit business, and they told you that."
Gu Xuan patted his head.
“I almost forgot about that. Tell them I’m talking business with someone right now. Take them to the orchard to see the fruit first, and I’ll call you when I’m done here.”
"good."
The staff then led several fruit vendors to the orchard.
Gu Xuan then arrived at the platform at the back of the mountain.
Ten people are already waiting.
These ten people come from five of the largest wineries in the country, and each of them brought five of the most knowledgeable people about wine.
After Gu Xuan arrived, he spoke to everyone.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy. Please bear with me."
The other party was very polite.
"It's okay, we just arrived too."
Gu Xuan then sat down.
"Have you all tried the wine? What do you think?"
One of the older men said.
"The taste of this wine is indeed very unique, with an aroma that is hard to replicate. It must be due to the old cellar mud."
Gu Xuan smiled and nodded.
“What this gentleman says is very true. You are all in the wine business, so you should all be very clear about these things.”
Another old man said.
"Of course, water is the most important element, and the spring water you use here is the finest. The spring water I just drank tea from surpasses all the spring water we've ever seen."
Gu Xuan smiled slightly.
"That's right. The north has the most mountains and the richest water resources. The spring water there is also the most nutritious and mineral-rich, and of course, the purest."
Everyone nodded.
"It's not surprising that such spring water can produce such good wine."
"I wonder if Mr. Gu could show us your old cellar mud?"
"Of course, no problem."
He then took out a wooden box.
Inside the box was a two-pound piece of old cellar mud.
As soon as the box was taken out, everyone crowded around.
They all sniffed it.
The aroma emanating from the old cellar mud caught the attention of several professionals.
"This old cellar mud is truly remarkable; using it will elevate the aroma of the wine to another level."
The others nodded in agreement.
"That's right."
At this point, the bosses couldn't sit still any longer.
"Boss Gu, here's what you say, name your price and give me this one."
Another boss quickly intervened.
"Boss Gu, I'll double the price no matter what, how does that sound?"
The others also made their bids.
Prices are always high, never low; they all understand the value of this old cellar mud.
Using this old cellar mud will improve the flavor of my wine and increase sales.
In fact, Gu Xuan had already had his own ideas.
He gestured for everyone to stop making noise.
Then he pushed the wooden box forward.
"Today I'm going to discuss a collaboration with you. I don't need you to contribute any money. If you agree, each of you will receive a piece of the same old cellar mud."
The bosses were all shocked when they heard this.
"How would you like to cooperate?"
"That's right, tell me about it."
These bosses are all very cautious.
Gu Xuan said directly.
"I only need you to provide two tons of alcohol every year for ten years. That's not much, is it?"
"Two tons is indeed not much."
But one of the smart bosses frowned and asked a question.
"It can't be that simple."
Gu Xuan smiled slightly.
“That’s right, I want your wine that’s over twenty years old.”
Gu Xuan's meaning is very clear: he wants their ancient brew, a wine made using traditional methods, and only a small amount is produced each year.
Everyone immediately became agitated.
Five wineries, each with its own ancient brew, and the prices are shockingly high, with low annual production. Gu Xuan immediately ordered two tons.
Although its value cannot compare to that of aged clay, it is indeed necessary to supply it every year for a total of ten years.
The bosses frowned.
"Boss Gu, you're being too ruthless. Ancient brews are only released from the cellar after being aged for more than 20 years, and you're asking for two tons right away. There's only a limited number each year."
Gu Xuan said with a smile.
"Either you exchange it for wine, or you send the guests away."
Gu Xuan didn't give them a chance at all.
He understood that although the production of these ancient brews was not large, this was only in terms of external distribution. In reality, they all had internal quotas, which was why Gu Xuan asked for them directly. In fact, this did not cause them any real loss; it was just an extra two tons of quota, which they only needed to increase their brewing slightly.
The owner of the first winery said directly.
"I don't know how I delivered it to you, Mr. Gu. Was it bottled directly or delivered in a wine vat?"
"Half and half, one ton for bottling, one ton for wine vats."
The other party readily agreed.
"Okay, our winery agrees."
