To repay the favor by buying a house for 30 million, and to buy a Rolls-Royce for 8 million without hesitation, this kind of "trench inhumane" lifestyle is simply unimaginable for us ordinary people.
In a variety show in 2019, Guo Degang was ridiculed by Guo Jingfei, saying that his net worth was at least more than one billion. At that time, everyone thought that Lao Guo would refute, but unexpectedly, he replied lightly with two words: "More than". It is no wonder that even in Beijing, where every inch of land is at a premium, he owns two top villas, one of which was valued at 30 million yuan in 2005.
This villa is located in Beijing's rose garden, which has been a well-known and wealthy area for decades. From the outside, Lao Guo's house is extraordinary, not only covering a vast area, but also surrounded by green trees, and the layout is staggered.
It is said that the villa has a total of three floors, each with an elevator installed, and even a luxurious indoor swimming pool. The hospitality area is sparkling in a Western styleGuo Degang's preferred Chinese style is applied to the living room on the second floor.
The study room is the most striking place, with a rich collection of books and even some rare and unique books that have been lost on the market. The entire room is almost covered with colorful carpets worth tens of thousands of yuan.
However, no one expected that this house was "forced" to be purchased by Guo Degang in order to thank others. In 2005, the famous cross talk artist Hou Yaowen bought the property, but only paid the down payment, and there is still a larger amount of the final payment outstanding.
He planned to repay the loan slowly in the next few years, but as fate would have it, Hou Yaowen had a heart attack and died suddenly just two years later. After learning the news of his teacher's death, Guo Degang was so sad that he put down all the work at hand and rushed to the master's house as soon as possible.
In front of the statue, he solemnly swore that he would "take care of the orphans and widows for his old family." Although Guo Degang is kind-hearted, the cruel reality forces him to face it. In particular, the rose garden villa with only a down payment has almost become the most difficult problem in the hands of the Hou family's children.
In order to inherit this inheritance, the outstanding loan must be repaid. However, the Hou family could not afford to pay this huge amount of money, but if they gave up, the down payment that his father had made would also be in vain. When they were helpless, Guo Degang stepped forward.
Deyun Club was still in its infancy at the time, so 30 million was a lot of money for them. In order to make up this amount as soon as possible, he even did not hesitate to use the prestige he had accumulated in the circle for many years to borrow money from everywhere, and finally succeeded in buying this villa and handed over all the money to the Hou family.
Although Guo Degang was quite helpless when he bought this villa at that time, 16 years later, it has become a real golden nest. Coupled with his later finishing and repairs, the market value of this property exceeded 50 million at that time. Not to mention that after so many years, Beijing's housing prices have already soared. There are even some good real estate agents who have evaluated it, claiming that it is currently worth 400 million, which is definitely the best among luxury properties.
Over the next decade, Guo maintained the momentum of buying real estate. In addition to Beijing, he also owns a large number of properties in his hometown of Tianjin and Melbourne, where he opened a branch of Deyun Club. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a real estate tycoon in the cross talk world.
What's even more exaggerated is that Guo Degang has been collecting famous cars like stamp collecting for many years. He not only bought a BMW 3 Series worth more than 700,000, but also a Mercedes-Benz RV worth more than 800,000, and even spent more than 1 million to buy an Audi Q7, and he did not hesitate every time. Then, he bought two luxury cars in one go, a Mercedes-Benz S600 worth more than 3 million and a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions.
Not to mention the fact that these cars are expensive, building a parking lot in Beijing that is large enough to accommodate them could cost ordinary people a lifetime of savings. However, for Guo Degang, who has billions of assets, these small sums are just a drop in the bucket.
Some people may ask curiously, isn't Guo Degang just a cross talk actor?How did he amass such a huge fortune?In fact, Guo Degang's success does not only rely on Deyun Club and many **, if we sort out his property, we will find that this seemingly ordinary old Guo actually hides a business empire behind it.
The most famous Deyun Club is no longer the small restaurant it used to be, just to listen to cross talk. Today, there are more than 400 artists who can perform on stage. The number of performances held every year can even reach three to four thousand. In 2022 alone, Deyun Club has held more than 120 large-scale performances with audiences of more than 5,000 people.
According to their average ticket price, just through performances, Deyun Club can bring more than one billion yuan in revenue a year. And Guo Degang is not only the founder of the company, but his wife Wang Hui is now the chairman of Deyun Club. For such a large amount of ticket revenue, how much can the two of them share?I believe everyone knows it.
Guo Degang's current business territory also includes wine, catering, clothing and other fields, and even has a private winery and lavender flower field in Australia. Either one of these businesses is quite profitable.
His good apprentices are enviable, and now they have made remarkable achievements in the fields of film and television entertainment. First of all, Yue Yunpeng led the **, and then Qin Xiaoxian and Meng Hetang also quickly emerged, and the eldest son Guo Qilin was even more outstanding. It can be said that Guo Degang is really good at cultivating students, they not only have sprung up in the cross talk industry, but also are comfortable in movies and variety shows, and they have successfully attracted a group of young fans for Deyun Club.
Guo Degang's fame is increasing day by day, and he even laid the foundation for hundreds of millions of family fortunes, and thus appeared on the Forbes Celebrity List. However, does anyone remember that in order to maintain the normal operation of Deyun Club, he was locked in the window and "watched" like an animal?
Guo Degang, a young leader in the cross talk industry, once paid the price of dignity because of economic problems. That 48-hour reality show became a dark moment in his life that he will never forget.
He founded Deyun Club in 2003, but his influence was quite limited at that time, and the cross talk industry was gradually declining, so everything became extremely difficult. In the most difficult time, he even had to sell his wife's car, just to ensure that Deyun Club could operate normally.
After several years of hard work, he was unable to reverse the decline and had to find another way to take up part-time work. In 2005, Guo Degang joined Anhui Satellite TV and served as the host's assistant in the program "Super Winner". His only role on stage is to make jokes and delight the audience with self-deprecation.
In order to increase the impact, the production team of the program came up with an unethical idea. They invited Guo Degang as a guest performer and placed him in an enclosed window made of pure glass, requiring him not only to stay in it for 48 hours, but also to publicly display his diet and life.
It was summer, and it was unusually hot in the window. Out of the needs of performance, they only prepared instant noodles and electric fans for Guo Degang. He performed hard inside, interacting with the audience, and even endured their mocking stares and scrutiny.
After a day of torture, Guo Degang finally couldn't bear it anymore and told the program team that he wanted to quit. However, the other party's response was unrelenting: "If you leave now, you won't have a penny of income." In order to earn the immediate reward, Guo Degang had to compromise.
After completing the 48-hour reality show, what is even more helpless is that the program team did not believe in their words. The originally promised 4,000 yuan reward was only willing to pay 1,000 yuan. After receiving the last salary, he couldn't bear it anymore and packed his bags and returned to his hometown Tianjin on the same day.
Fortunately, he was glad that there was an existence like the Dinghai God Needle by his side. Not only has he always supported him when he was at a low point, but he was even willing to sacrifice himself to help his career. This person is his second wife, Wang Hui.
Yu Qian once said: "Guo Degang married a man's ideal wife, and he did all the housework by himself, cooking, buying vegetables, cleaning up the house, and even carrying rice and changing light bulbs." It was with the support of his wife that Guo Degang was able to enjoy today's wealth and status.
Every member of the Deyun Club respects the young and famous artist Wang Hui and also calls her "Mrs. Shi". Compared with Guo Degang's ill-fated experience, her life path is relatively smooth. As a famous Jingyun drum performer in Tianjin, she appeared on the stage at the age of 8 and began to hold special performances at the age of 14. Her every step is very down-to-earth and unambiguous.
When her song "Tan Qingwen" was warmly welcomed, Guo Degang was still a single father abandoned by his wife. Not only is he unknown in the cross talk world, but even the property left by his parents has been sold to make ends meet.
Despite such a huge gap between the two, they actually came together. In order to support Guo Degang's career, Wang Hui did not hesitate to sell the Xiali car given to her by her father, and even took out her savings for many years.
Fortunately, Deyun Club gradually regained its vitality, and Guo Degang also began to recruit apprentices, and the couple were no longer alone. But as the number of people increased, the expenses also increased, in order to feed so many people, Wang Hui took out the jewelry boxes he had accumulated over the years and sold them one by one to make ends meet.
The hard work of the master may not be understood by outsiders, but they deeply understand it and are grateful to her. Yue Yunpeng once recalled that life after becoming famous: "My wife cared about us very much, and even the underwear she bought for us;She cooks with a fragrant aroma, and has to cook more than 20 people's meals at each meal, but it is still very delicious, especially her cooking skills are superb. ”
Over the years, she has been the finest housewife and virtuous mother. In order to repay her hard work, Guo Degang transferred 99% of the shares of Deyun Club to Wang Hui after becoming famous, which can be regarded as a little bit of his heart.
Wang Hui is actually the backer behind Guo Degang's success, and with her support and companionship, he can gradually move towards fame and fortune and create a business empire. It can be seen that the ancients said that "a virtuous wife and a husband have few disasters" is not groundless.
