Zhou Zhi didn't take it seriously. It was still his old habit. He took out his notebook and recorded it carefully. At first glance, he looked like Director Wang's little secretary.

After Xiao Zhang finished introducing the latest developments of the past few days, he stood up and said, "Director Wang, our appointment with Mr. Cai is at two o'clock. We have to go there quickly."

"Let's go." Director Wang said, "Hong Kong people are very stuck on appointment times."

"Then this kid..." Xiao Zhang said, "How about going downstairs to McDonald's for something to eat?"

"Hahaha..." Wang Limei was amused: "Xiao Zhang, we can only meet Mr. Cai because of Xiao Zhou's face!"

Xiao Zhang was immediately stunned. He had not grasped such an important situation and would be criticized now.

However, he still didn't believe it until he sent Wang Limei to the TVB building and found that Cai Nan was waiting downstairs with two assistants instead of waiting in the office.

When everyone got off the bus, Cai Nan strode over and stretched out his hand: "Hahaha, little friend Zhou Zhi, we have never met each other before, and we finally get to meet you today!"

Zhou Zhi was startled, and quickly stretched out his hands and said to Mr. Cai: "Mr. Cai, I can't afford to say this. I don't want to scare the younger generation like this!"

"Hahahaha..." Cai Nan said with a smile: "I got a lot of ideas from you about that matter last year, so I should."

Xiao Zhang was really dumbfounded. Why did he hear the meaning behind Cai Lao's words? Or did he owe this kid a favor?!

It’s really funny to say this. Last year, Mr. Cai also had a sudden idea to enter the business world, and the product was a series of small pickles, including salted fish sauce, preserved vegetable and scallop sauce, and olive wedges.

Scallop sauce, etc.

Who is most familiar with this matter? Naturally, he is responsible for the product design, production line introduction, advertising planning and marketing planning of Saturday Niang Food Co., Ltd.

Zhou Zhi only gave Mr. Cai two suggestions. They were very simple.

The first one is to build a factory in the mainland and operate the main business in the mainland.

Second, develop umami products, such as oyster sauce, abalone juice, and chicken essence.

In fact, Mr. Cai only served as the supervisor, and the specific work was done by the partners. When Mr. Cai passed on the two suggestions, they were recognized by the other party.

Then several products became very popular in the south. The sales of the umami products Zhou Zhi proposed to develop are now much greater than those of the original sauces with rice, and they are making a lot of money.

Therefore, from this point of view, Mr. Cai really owed Zhou Zhi a favor.

But in Zhou Zhi's opinion, he owed Mr. Cai a greater favor.

If Cai Laohui had not had unique vision and agreed to publish the traditional Chinese version of "Sichuan Flavors", this series of books would never have had such a great influence and huge profits.

It can be said that Zhou Zhi's first pot of gold and most of his reputation were due to the release of the traditional Chinese version of "Sichuan Wei Tan".

In fact, the current Chinese people still have an inferiority complex. They shout to catch up, but in fact they have already recognized the gap in their hearts.

If Mr. Cai had not written the foreword for this book, vigorously promoted it in the Traditional Chinese area and led to a wave of sales, it had gained such a great reputation and then spread to the country, and even helped Zhou Zhi get a National Book Award nomination...otherwise...

Based on the price of a set of several hundred for the simplified Chinese version that is displayed in Xinhua Bookstore in China, few people will even care about it.

Compared with the benefits that this set of books has brought to Zhou Zhi, any video game arcade, karaoke room, or taxi top will have to stand aside.

The sales bonus period for this set of books has now passed, but the substantial foreign exchange earnings have once again become the basis for Zhou Zhi's participation in the European currency crisis.

The performance of this set of books in the Traditional Chinese area also aroused Fu Xia's concern, and the release of the English version was also put on the agenda.

All of this was brought to Zhou Zhi by Mr. Cai.

With these foundations in place, now that the two of them meet, they are as affectionate as a grandfather and grandson who have not seen each other for a long time.

"Mr. Cai, this is Ms. Wang Limei, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of our Cultural Relics Bureau, and this is Zhang from Xinhua News Agency..." Zhou Zhi now became the introducer, and then got stuck. He didn't know the little Zhang that Wang Limei was talking about.

position and name.

Xiao Zhang now regrets that he was too dismissive of Zhou Zhi before and skipped the introduction link to talk about work directly. Now he can only introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Cai, I am Zhang Bin, the resident reporter of Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong."

"That's a companion." Mr. Cai was quite kind: "Let's go, let's go in and talk."

TVB is now considered to be at its peak. Several consecutive super dramas such as "Big Time" and "Giant" are all famous works of this period.

But arriving at the TVB headquarters was very disappointing. It was neither grand nor grand. In Zhou Zhi's opinion, it was even worse than the renovated Shudu TV.

TVB has a famous rooster bowl. It was originally an ordinary prop, but due to its high frequency of use, it appeared in hundreds of TV series over the next fifty years and eventually became a proper prop.

An old dramatist.

So much so that Cai Nan was shocked by Zhou Zhi. So many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars had no interest in you at all, but they actually asked to go to the props warehouse to pay homage to an old porcelain bowl?

Mr. Cai knew about the two revolving bottles, and also knew about this kid's ability to appraise porcelain. He wondered if this bowl was a big leak that was left on the TV station, right?

In fact, the correct name of the rooster bowl should be reversed and called "Ji Gong Wan". It is an ordinary white porcelain bowl with a picture of a big rooster with a red body and black tail running at night, and some flowers and plants.

"The rooster bowl is a very common tableware in Guangdong and Hong Kong." Cai Nan took the big bowl and introduced it to Zhou Zhi and the others: "As the saying goes, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The rooster is the alarm clock at that time. When the rooster crows, the whole family

It’s time to get up and work, so this bowl also has a name, called ‘Starting Bowl’.”

"Starting a family has two meanings. One is that everyone has to get up and work." Cai Nan said: "But 'qijia' means getting rich through hard work and starting a family."

"With these two layers of good fortune, this bowl was almost common in every household in Guangdong and Hong Kong in the old days, so in our period dramas, almost every one of us has this bowl."

"It's also included in Condor Shooting." Zhou Zhi added, "But this is a mistake."

"The prototype of the chicken bowl is actually the colorful chicken bowl cup of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. The paintings of both actually have one feature, that is, the childish and cute pictures combined with the extremely skilled techniques create a unique style and beauty.

.”

"However, this is something that only appeared after the development of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, while sculpture shooting is a thing of the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is far different in age."

Cai Nan was speechless. Are mainland audiences so picky?

If "The Condor" were to be based on the standard that the chicken cock bowl cannot appear in "The Condor", then the show would be completely unwatchable.

Even Mr. Jin Yong himself lacks research on prices in the Song Dynasty. This is the case in the original work. How can he ask for TVB that can dig out a bowl and use it for decades?

However, this incident makes Cai Nan very happy. He is currently co-producing a talk show with Ni Kuang and others. It covers all aspects of society and people's livelihood. TVB Chicken Bowl is a good topic that is easy to expand, and it can be done well.

One episode of the program.
