rebirth of cataclysm

"What are you talking about? You came to my place and I asked you to go back to eat? Don't go back. I'm going to treat you and Xiaochen to have a meal today. Don't talk about that..." Seeing Wang Zhan

Still wanting to decline politely, Chen Xuesheng lowered his face and pointed at him, "Don't go back for a meal."

Fan, Xiao Yumei won’t do anything to you. I’ll treat you now. When I go to the coast, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to ask me to invite you. It’s settled like this. Just call me and tell me.

If you are afraid, then I will call and help you ask for leave for Xiao Yumei."

"Look at you...what am I afraid of? It's not like I'm going to do anything bad. Okay, okay, you've already said this. If I don't eat you, it's like I'm not giving you face."

." Wang Zhan was so excited by Chen Xuesheng that he had no choice but to obey Chen Xuesheng's wishes.

"That's pretty much it. Now I'm going to introduce my equipment to Xiaochen. When the show is over, I'll turn on the light and show it to you. As you can see, the one on the seat in front of me is a projector.

I bought it not long ago, and it is 80% new. It is from the Japanese Pioneer Company. The wooden box chairs outside can seat 80 people... If you want

If you do this, I can introduce you to someone from the film company, and you can get the latest laser discs from him. The price will be somewhat discounted for you. Don’t worry, since you are brought by Wang Zhan

Yes, I will do my best to help as much as I can." Chen Xuesheng pointed and introduced everything in the venue to Hu Mingchen one by one.

Of course, now that the movie is still going on, Hu Mingchen can only listen, and it is impossible to see everything clearly.

After Chen Xuesheng finished the introduction and finished playing, Chen Xuesheng turned on the light and took Hu Mingchen outside the cubicle to see what he had just introduced.

After turning on the lights, Hu Mingchen found that there were only about ten people watching inside. Compared to the eighty or so people there, it was quite empty.

"Uncle Chen, how much is your fare?"

"Five yuan per person, in fact, this is not necessarily true. Sometimes if someone only has three or four yuan, we will let them in. Two of the ten people just gave us seven yuan together." Anyway.

This is how business is, and Chen Xuesheng has nothing to hide.

After looking around under the light, Hu Mingchen found that the things inside were indeed relatively new, at least they didn't look old. Those box chairs were red, and they weren't actually boxes at all. They just had backrests and armrests.

The position is raised to create a relatively private small space. Each chair can seat two or three people. The frame is made of wood, and some sponge cushions are added to the buttocks, which are then wrapped in artificial leather.

There are two half-person-high speakers placed in the corner, and there are four large windows on both sides of the wall, all of which are blocked by thick curtains. This is to ensure that the outdoor light does not affect the indoor movie screening.

The screen in front is square, which is different from a standard movie theater, with an area of ​​about four square meters.

"Uncle Chen, do you want to handle all these things together?" Hu Mingchen asked, standing under the screen and looking at the three columns of chairs extending out from the left, middle and right towards the playback room.

"Of course we have to deal with them all, otherwise why would I leave a part of it? Nothing can be used. Do you have any ideas?" Chen Xuesheng, whose mentality has changed, no longer treats Hu Mingchen as a simple child.

"Actually, I don't have much idea, it's just... I don't want so many of these box chairs. To be honest, I don't even want these." Hu Mingchen said in embarrassment.

"Why? All laser halls are laid out like this. Some couples come to watch movies. Maybe their purpose is not to watch movies. Wouldn't it be better to have something to block them?" Chen Xuesheng asked doubtfully.

"Haha, Uncle Chen, this is mainly because the environment in Duge is different from that in the city. The people there are relatively conservative. Would young couples invite each other to watch movies and videos? Yes, but I don't think it will be the mainstream. Even if some couples come to see it, I am afraid they are not willing to be isolated in this way. After all, it will attract a lot of gossip. Rural society is very different from that in the city. In the city, walking on the street, you can get to know very few people. It's different in rural areas. You seem to be greeting people anytime and anywhere. In addition, you just said that your ticket price is five yuan per person, but considering the economic conditions and development level of Duge Township, this price is absolutely unreasonable. I don't dare to set this price, two yuan is probably the acceptable limit..." Hu Mingchen said eloquently.

"Two yuan, two yuan is just for watching that kind of TV video, sitting on a very hard bench, it's different." Chen Xuesheng said.

"This is the city, but in the countryside, it may not be any different. For them, no matter how luxurious and comfortable they are, once the price is high, the audience will be greatly reduced. I don't want just those cadres who live on the street. Or small businessmen can value it, and most of the people in Duge Township can value it. In the past, when I made dried ginger, I paid a high price. That’s because for me, it was a one-time deal, and of course I had to seize the opportunity. , you can earn as much as you want, it’s just one time anyway. But this is different, you have to make small profits but quick turnover, and the water will flow steadily. It is best to watch one every once in a while, if you want to watch it, you can afford it. Of course, the ticket price is low, I need to increase the number of seats. To be honest, a private room like this takes up a lot of space. If it's a business day like ours, let alone 80 seats, I'm afraid 180 may not be enough. That day "There are tens of thousands of people coming and going on the street, so we must maximize the use of space. I can't watch people want to buy tickets but there are no seats." Hu Mingchen explained clearly, it was reasonable and beneficial, not nonsense. Eight ways.

"Then what do I keep these chairs for?" It is one thing to understand what Hu Mingchen said, but it is another thing for Chen Xuesheng to solve practical problems.

"Xue Sheng, you can actually buy these chairs at a lower price. Then Xiaochen can just remove the backrest and fence and turn them into soft seats. If you solve the problem, he can also use it. Otherwise, these things are just Only people who open laser parlors can use it. Where can we find people who can take over the whole task and open laser parlors now? You think so? Xiaochen, what do you think?" Wang Zhan coordinated.

"If the price is really good, it is a solution. Otherwise, if these things are given to ordinary people, I am afraid not many will use them. It is most likely to be dismantled and burned." Hu Mingchen nodded.

Hu Mingchen felt that Wang Zhan's suggestion was feasible. He had to make chairs and stools anyway, and he couldn't let people stand and watch. But his premise was also very clear, that is, the price had to be low and acceptable to him.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Regarding Wang Zhan's suggestion, Chen Xuesheng was noncommittal.

"There is nothing else. If you are really lucky enough to get Uncle Chen's help, just spend two days learning how to operate these machines. Of course, installation and debugging may still be troublesome." Hu Mingchen is soft.

made two demands.

Hu Mingchen is not strong enough, so he can only be soft in attitude. Although the price has not yet been discussed, but just looking at it in general, Hu Mingchen knows that his little capital is not enough.

Teaching how to operate those equipment is indeed a small problem, but helping to install and debug the equipment is very necessary.

"There is no problem with these. You are so smart. If you learn to operate these devices, I believe you can master them in half an hour. It is actually very simple. Just put the disc in and press start. As for the installation and debugging after disassembly, I can

Find the seller's staff and let them do the work, as long as you pay some labor fees." Chen Xuesheng readily agreed to Hu Mingchen's two soft requests.

"In this case, I have no problem." Hu Mingchen said after taking a look at Wang Zhan.

"Xue Sheng, don't you want to treat us to dinner? Come on, how about we go to dinner now and you can discuss the price at the dinner table?" Wang Zhan said immediately.

Of course, talking about business will be easier at the dinner table than standing stiffly like now. Some things are easy to talk about when the emotions are in place. If the emotions are not in place, it is difficult to make concessions.

It is because of this situation that when talking about business in our country, we have to mention dinner parties and entertainment.

"Of course, let's go. I'll treat you to the bamboo shoots and bacon hot pot. It's served by the Langnan people. It's really delicious."

After walking for a while, Chen Xuesheng took Hu Mingchen and Wang Zhan to a small shop called "Miao Bamboo Shoots Hot Pot".

This store is not big, with three private rooms separated by screens, and six or seven open tables outside the private rooms.

It was just after get off work at this time, and strictly speaking it was not considered lunch time. However, when Hu Mingchen and others arrived, the store was already full of people, with only one private room and one table still empty.

Chen Xuesheng immediately asked the waiter for the private room. After they sat down and drank a cup of tea, the store brought the hot pot.

"It's so fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to get up in less than half an hour." Wang Zhan said.

"Their soup base and bamboo shoots are stewed in advance. Just scoop it out from the big pot and add the cooked bacon. The delicious part of this restaurant is its soup and dipping water.

Come, let’s have a bowl of soup first, it will be more delicious after you drink the soup.” As the host of the treat, Chen Xuesheng introduced it enthusiastically.

After drinking a bowl of hot, white and tender soup, I really feel comfortable all over, and the aroma of the soup fills my entire body.

Although we wanted to discuss the price at the dinner table, no one has spoken yet.

Three people are chatting while eating. If they talk about money impatiently as soon as they get to the table, it will appear abrupt, as if the relationship has taken a back seat, which will not be conducive to the subsequent harmony.
