It was finally possible to resolve the issue of farmers contracting crayfish.
Hao Fangfang came to find Zhang Tianxing again.
"Zhang, I have good news for you. King Liu will arrive in Zhonghai City this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxing was very excited. Only when the person arrived could the matter be considered settled. Things were almost done. Otherwise, if they had to change people at the last minute, there would be nowhere to find a replacement.
"King Liu is coming, that's great. When the time comes, I'll have King Liu come over. I'll prepare a few dishes to properly welcome all of you."
Hao Fangfang laughed happily, "You know what's good for you. That's what I wanted to hear. I've already boasted about your cooking skills. Don't make me lose face, or I'll take everyone who came with me away from you."
This was exactly what Zhang Tianxing feared. The primary task now was the first Crayfish Festival, which was of utmost importance and could not afford any mistakes.
This battle could only succeed, not fail. The old and young gentlemen of Yangcheng were counting on this Crayfish Festival to make a comeback.
This place had no resources and no enterprises. How could it develop and make the people's pockets bulge?
If the crayfish industry could be promoted, then this place would have great potential.
It was much stronger than the primary and secondary industries. The tertiary industry was the focus of development.
...
Time passed quickly. Soon, Hao Fangfang received King Liu, and they arrived at Zhang Ji Crayfish.
"There are quite a few people here. The business is quite lively." King Liu saw the crowds coming and going, indicating good business.
The environment was also better than he had imagined, clean and hygienic. He just wasn't sure about the quality of the food.
Hao Fangfang introduced King Liu, "The specialty dishes here are crayfish, followed by barbecue. The most important point is that although the chef is young, his skills are excellent. He has the craftsmanship of a master chef, and the old and young gentlemen praise him endlessly."
"That's only natural. I do what I do. I'm just a small cook, and I just need to do my job well. I don't think about anything else."
After more than two months of practicing his skills, Zhang Tianxing was quite satisfied with his own level. He hadn't slacked off for a single day during these two months.
This crayfish restaurant went without saying. The crayfish aquatic products store, managed by Wu Li, was also doing very well.
After this series of events, not only did the reputation of crayfish not suffer, but it became even more famous, providing extremely convenient conditions for crayfish sales.
Zhang Ji Crayfish had successfully established its brand. If you were to ask who had the best quality crayfish, Zhang Ji Crayfish stood out.
Through newspaper promotions and reports, coupled with being the center of public opinion a while ago.
Then there were the international trade exhibition events, which led to crayfish going abroad, surprising everyone.
They never expected that such a small crayfish could go abroad and be sought after by international friends.
It was precisely because of this that crayfish became truly famous.
The fame of crayfish was hard-won, first by the Zhonghai Daily, then by the Huaxia People's Daily, and then by a series of reports from Zhonghai Television.
Only then did crayfish slowly gain fame. The international trade exhibition was a good opportunity for crayfish to soar.
It had to be said that it was a matter of timing and fate. The crayfish had gone through many twists and turns, but fortunately, the ending was perfect.
King Liu tasted a mouthful of crayfish and couldn't help but praise, "Delicious crayfish, truly lives up to its reputation. It tastes so good."
Zhang Tianxing smiled, "If King Liu says it's good, I'll have to remember that. Next time I make an advertisement, I'll ask King Liu to be the endorser."
Everyone laughed. Zhang Tianxing's plan was too good. This group of people included emerging dark horses and top stars like the Four Heavenly Kings.
They were the top stars in the entertainment industry. Zhang Tianxing thought he could achieve great things with little money, and he had a beautiful idea.
Hao Fangfang laughed, "The richer they are, the more stingy they become. I didn't believe this sentence before, but now I do. Why are landlords rich? Because they are good at planning."
Zhang Tianxing cried out in injustice, "I'm just an honest businessman. I'm about to go to college. Don't call me a businessman; I'm a prospective university student."
King Liu was greatly surprised. A prospective university student achieving this was beyond his expectations, let alone a master lyricist who could write such moving lyrics.
King Liu was very satisfied with those two songs. The lyrics spoke directly to his heart. If he couldn't buy these two songs, he would be restless.
Seeing King Liu's reaction, Zhang Tianxing couldn't help but laugh.
"King Liu, please don't worry. You are my idol. I will definitely give you those two songs. It's just that I'm a bit short on cash right now and need some money to spend, so I can't give them away for free." Business is business, and feelings are feelings. I'm empty-handed and need to complete the initial capital accumulation.
Look, look how well this young boss speaks. It's so pleasing to hear.
However, as a senior, King Liu would not take someone's lyrics for no reason.
King Liu pondered for a moment, "How about this, Boss Zhang? I'll take advantage of you. Ten thousand for one song, so twenty thousand for these two."
Zhang Tianxing was stunned. Forty thousand! My goodness, I haven't been a ten-thousand-yuan household for long, and now my assets have directly reached six figures.
This literary plagiarist makes money fast. He only regretted not remembering more songs, otherwise, forget tens of thousands, even tens of millions would not be a problem.
Even though the unit price of a song is low, we can sell in volume. If the quality is not enough, quantity will make up for it.
King Liu smiled and said, "Don't you still need a female singer here? I've spoken to Sister Mei, and she'll be here tomorrow."
Zhang Tianxing was overjoyed. This King Liu was too helpful. No wonder he was a Heavenly King. His connections were not comparable to his own.
He had tried his best to invite people, but King Liu easily solved the problem with a phone call.
It seemed that his decision to sell the songs was not wrong.
The only thing he wanted now was for this Crayfish Festival to start quickly and end quickly.
Zhang Tianxing was getting exhausted from working around the clock these past few days.
If it weren't for the money, Zhang Tianxing would have gone home to sleep.
Since opening this barbecue restaurant, Zhang Tianxing hadn't slept a good night's sleep.
King Liu smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, if you sell songs again in the future, and if the quality is still the same, just come to me directly. I'll definitely satisfy you with the price."
A good song could make someone famous for ten years. King Liu understood this cost very clearly.
This time, King Liu's price was quite low, essentially coming with a floor price, all for the sake of getting those two songs.
Talent like Zhang Tianxing could only be befriended, not offended. After all, Zhang Tianxing was still young and rich. His future achievements were bound to be unimaginable. It was just that Zhang Tianxing had few works. If he had a few more works, he would definitely be a master lyricist and composer.
Zhu Dayong and a few others, upon seeing King Liu and his entourage, all asked for autographs and photos.
People of the Four Heavenly Kings' caliber were rarely seen up close by ordinary people, let alone taking photos with them.
This would be capital for bragging in the future.
