For the audience who came to watch the talent show live, today was an exceptional experience, not only a feast for the eyes but also a truly elevated taste experience.
Before leaving, their beloved cubs interacted with them one last time, this time giving them farewell gifts, all provided by the official organization.
The red bag feels heavy in my hand.
What's inside?
"Let's take a look! The host said it's a surprise, and I've been waiting for it!"
Upon opening the red gift bag, two bags of Han's frozen specialty products came into view: one bag of frozen meat buns and one bag of frozen scallion and pork rolls.
Hidden beneath them was a delicate little box.
The box's surface is made of iron, as if this material was specially used to protect the contents from the water in the frozen product.
Viewers couldn't wait to open the box, and the live stream chat was flooded with excited comments: "Let us see! Show me what the surprise is!"
"My God! It's Xiao Feng!"
Wow! It's a chibi version of a little drummer playing the drums!
"Hahaha, chubby face shedding tears!"
The audience members took out the cute chibi-style dolls from their gift boxes, each representing their favorite little character.
"Why does this saxophone feel a bit heavy to me?"
Why are the drumsticks on the little drummer's hands so golden they look like real gold?
"Why is the fan in the backflipper's hand also gold? This gold... let me take a bite and see!"
"Pure gold!!!"
"Soft! 24K?"
"This must be worth a lot of money! Gold prices have skyrocketed!"
Why am I suddenly regretting not liking Xiaofeng?
"Haha, because Xiao Feng's saxophone is the biggest and heaviest, and has the highest gold content!"
"That's hilarious! Your round faces don't have a single golden spot!"
"What are you doing! So what if you have gold! We have meat buns, we don't care if we have gold or not!"
"Yes, we just need a chibi version of Angel Brother crying, we don't care if we have gold!"
The viewers in the live stream were practically green with envy.
[Enjoy fruit under the lemon tree!]
It's so sour it hurts my teeth!
I feel so awful, I need a bottle of aged vinegar!
[I initially thought I'd only missed the chance to attend in person, no problem, I could watch the live stream. Then I realized I'd missed the food feast, no problem, I could order takeout and treat it as watching a mukbang. Now look what's happened, I've missed out on a fortune! I can't be so laid-back anymore!]
Are there any fake fans at the event? Just people who randomly cast a vote and got randomly selected, and who aren't really that into the chibi figures? Are you selling any of your chibi figures? I'll pay a high price to buy them!
Me too, I'm willing to pay 1000 yuan!
[Upstairs, are you trying to make me laugh to death? That saxophone Xiaofeng played was made of at least 10 grams of gold. Do you know the current price of gold? Based on domestic gold prices, such exquisite craftsmanship, including the labor cost, would be at least 5000 yuan! You're offering 1000? That's fantastic!]
Is it that expensive?
[Could it just be gold plating? A layer of gold plating shouldn't cost much, right?]
Judging from the reaction at the scene, it doesn't seem like it's just gold plating; some people are even biting into it!
[It seems that fans who like Xiaofeng are the most fortunate, while fans who like Roubaozi are truly unfortunate, getting absolutely no gold.]
[This doesn't make sense! Wasn't it rumored that Xiao Wu is the grandson of the former chairman of Han's Entertainment Company?]
[Perhaps it's to avoid suspicion? Is it because he's their grandson that they're treating him differently and deliberately suppressing him?]
[No way, this is too tragic!]
If they really wanted to avoid suspicion, they wouldn't have leaked the news in the first place!
Honestly, it's better to release the news early than to find out later, after Xiao Wu wins the championship, that he's the company's future chairman. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of haters saying he got in through connections and that he lacks real talent!
[That's true. It's better to have it revealed from the beginning than later! Everyone knew his special status before the voting started. Whether they were deliberately withholding votes due to resentment or were moved by his tears, choosing to vote for him was their own decision. Even if Little Meat Bun wins in the end, what can anyone say? They can only say he truly deserves the title; he's just that outstanding!]
"Ahhh—we've struck it rich!" Suddenly, a fan stood up holding a chibi-style tearful figurine of Xiao Wu: "Look, the tears of Roubaozi are sapphires!"
"Really?"
"My God! If it really is a sapphire, we'll be rich!"
"In the past four years, the prices of sapphires and rubies have skyrocketed, even more dramatically than the price increase of gold!"
"My aunt bought a sapphire four years ago, and four years later, the person who sold it to her called her and offered to buy it back for twice the price!"
"Although this teardrop isn't big, its color is very beautiful. I reckon it could be pried off and made into a cabochon for a ring, which would cost at least ten thousand!"
"Hey, hey, hey, do you have a heart?! How could you say such a thing? How could you bear to ruin the chibi version of Angel Brother's tears?!"
"I'm going to take it back and enshrine it; I absolutely won't hurt Baozi's face!"
I'm so jealous!
[Same as above +1!]
[As expected, the little bun is the real bloodline; suddenly, the gold medals on the other contestants seem to have lost their luster!]
[I knew it! Grandpa Han is a doting grandpa! There's a rumor that the reason he opened this entertainment company is for Xiao Wu!]
【What? Really?】
[I have a friend who's a police officer. He used to work with a criminal gang that filmed pornography. They sent out talent scouts to scam many children, including Xiao Wu!]
Grandpa Wu thwarted their plan and wiped out the entire gang!
Is this for real? Is this even possible?!
Believe it or not, it's up to you! But my information is absolutely true!
Aren't you afraid your police friend will lose his job by revealing this?
[What kind of friends are they? They often talk about having a friend who's this or that, but it's always them talking about themselves!]
Dude, be careful online, you might lose your job!
He's disappeared!
[Haha, after we exposed them, they didn't dare to show their faces anymore!]
If Xiao Wu was almost scammed by a talent scout, and Xiao Wu really loves performing, then it's entirely possible that his grandfather, the owner of the Han Group, would start his own company just to fulfill his grandson's dream of becoming an actor!
[Oh my god, I'm so envious! What an amazing grandpa!]
[I just want to ask: Grandpa Han, do you need another grandson? Look at me, I have a 400-month-old grandson, would you like him?]
[400 months? Upstairs, how old are you?]
Good heavens, she's 33 already!
Dude, you have no shame! You shouldn't have acknowledged him as your grandfather; you should have called him "Dad" or "godfather"!
Before the audience even left the performance hall, the price of the "Steamed Bun Sheds Tears" figurine had already skyrocketed online. Someone posted an ad offering 100,000 yuan to buy it, but the ad was quickly buried. Then someone else offered 200,000 yuan, and the price kept rising until finally someone posted an ad offering a staggering 1 million yuan!
Some were just following the trend, fooling around without money, but there were also genuine rich and beautiful women and handsome and wealthy men who offered high prices.
Han Li was frantically tapping on his phone, a wicked grin on his face.
Han Fei leaned closer curiously to see: "What are you doing? Hmm? You want Xiao Wu's figurine?"
Han Li was one of the instigators; he was also the poster of the thread that reached 1 million views.
"Brother Han, I'm just joining in the fun. Look how valuable Xiao Wu's tears are!"
"One million?" Han Fei shook his head: "The entertainment industry is indeed a bubble economy."
If it weren't for fulfilling Xiao Wu's dream, he wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of bubble economy, which can lead to misconceptions about money. Only the real economy can provide a solid sense of grounding.
"Brother Han, you must have spent a lot of money on these sapphires, right?"
"It didn't cost any money. Xiao Liu used jade to exchange for it in order to support his fifth brother."
Han Fei had to admit that Xiao Liu was a born businessman. Using the leftover scraps from the last jadeite trade, Xiao Liu had exchanged them for a lot of pure sapphires. Even the gold was obtained by that kid.
Initially, the idea of having the children take photos and having custom-made figurines was proposed by Xiao Wu himself. Although the child liked performing, he did not give up taking photos.
Later, Xiao Liu suggested making different kinds of figurines. If they were too cheap or worthless, no one would cherish them once the competition ended or the hype died down.
Only real gold and silver, and gemstones and jade with high appreciation potential, have collectible value.
The fifth child took the photos of the children, the company's public relations department enthusiastically helped arrange for the figurines, the sixth child got the gold and gems, and these two children also handled all the customizations.
In truth, this was a gift from the two children to the audience, but in the end, it was the grandfather who benefited the most. He got all the advantages. As things stand, the more popular the show "National Little Prince" becomes, the more famous Han's Meat Buns will become!
He never expected that what he originally founded as a company to fulfill his children's dreams would eventually become the biggest help to real businesses!
"How are sales in third-tier cities right now?" Han Fei asked, getting down to business.
Han Li sighed: "Business is good in some places and not in others. Although the meat buns are delicious, they can't compete with local delicacies. After all, if the price of frozen products is the same as that of local fresh food, it is difficult to achieve good sales. Moreover, different places have different tastes, and it is impossible to please everyone. Some cities do not really like our meat buns."
Han Li pulled up sales reports for third-tier cities on his phone.
The color changes from reddish-brown to bright green when the price is low, somewhat resembling a stock market chart.
According to the latest annual ranking of China's top 100 cities, there are 45 third-tier cities this year.
Han Fei's entrepreneurial journey began in these 45 cities, choosing a steady and pragmatic approach rather than rashly venturing into first-tier cities.
The first city that comes into view is Thailand, which saw a sharp decline in sales, starting strong but ending weakly.
When Han Fei returned home, he saw Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi sitting in front of the TV watching Xiao Wu's performance on rerun. Xiao Wu was bragging to his younger siblings, as proud as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
"Are you three very free?" Han Fei asked.
Xiao Liu said with a bitter face, "I've already watched it seven times. Fifth Brother insisted on making us watch it!"
Xiaoqi, sipping her calcium milk, exclaimed in her sweet, childish voice, "So cool! Xiaokong's backflip was amazing!"
Xiao Wu retorted, "No one's as good as me! I'm the angel brother!"
Little Seven, in her childish voice, stabbed him in the back: "You're a meat bun too!"
Xiao Wu huffed, "You only say the bad things!"
Xiao Qi chuckled, "Who told Fifth Brother to only say the good things!"
Seeing the two little cubs bickering, Han Fei chuckled: "It seems you two are really free. In that case, pack up and I'll take you out to play."
Upon hearing the word "play," Xiaoqi was the first to jump up, rushing into the house to change into her prettiest little dress. She then made a heart shape with her hands in front of her reflection in the mirror: "Xiaoqi is the cutest! You look so slim today!"
After changing his clothes, Xiao Liu passed by Xiao Qi's room and knocked on the door. Xiao Qi replied in a childish voice, "Come in!"
Xiao Liu saw his younger sister smiling at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, "Fairy mirror, fairy mirror, has Xiao Qi lost weight again today?"
Xiao Liu: "..."
He pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.
His meals have been so good lately, with fruit gummies, calcium-enriched milk, and pork rib rice cakes. His younger sister seems to have gotten even rounder!
He didn't dare to say anything, and could only lower his eyes and wait silently for his sister.
Girls always lose track of time when they get dressed up. By the time Han Fei had packed two large suitcases and prepared all the children's changes of clothes, Xiao Qi was still admiring herself in the mirror!
Xiao Wu was peeking through the door, covering his mouth and giggling. Xiao Liu glared at him, not allowing his fifth brother to ruin his sister's good mood, and also afraid that if his fifth brother said, "Little sister, you've gotten fatter again!", Xiao Qi would break down and cry.
"Xiao Qi, are you done yet?" Han Fei asked.
Xiaoqi quickly slung her little bag over her shoulder, which contained her "fairy wand," and ran out, smiling sweetly: "Grandpa, Xiaoqi is ready! Let's go!"
