rebirth of cataclysm

A week later, the Doug Cinema that Hu Mingchen insisted on building was finally completed after a quick and slow decoration.

It stands to reason that Hu Mingchen's Laser Cinema should have a different name. After all, it is not a public theater, and it is just a laser theater. Using the name Doug Cinema is a bit unworthy of the name, and it is suspected of deceiving the world.

However, when Hu Mingchen asked Song Qiaoshan to name his cinema, these five words came out of Song Qiaoshan's mouth.

At first glance, Hu Mingchen thought he was joking, but the look on Song Qiaoshan's face was indeed serious, and there was no intention of joking or amusing him at all.

Song Qiaoshan did not leave Hu Mingchen confused and explained the reason for the name to him.

"In the three or four surrounding towns of Duge Township, none of them has a cinema, and not many have video halls. If you build a cinema, no matter how effective it is, it will only make Duge Township look bad. In other aspects,

We may not be as good as us, but we have a movie theater, whether it is private or public, after all, it is in Duge Township, and the leaders are happy to see it."

As soon as Song Qiaoshan explained, Hu Mingchen understood that if it were named "Chunlei Cinema" or "Century Cinema", it would have nothing to do with the village and was just a private behavior of ordinary people.

However, the name "Dug Cinema", not to mention the high-end atmosphere, uninformed people will think that it is the result of the vigorous promotion of the township, and the meaning is completely different.

Duge Township is remote and backward, and investment promotion has never had much to do with it. Over the years, the leaders working here have not had any outstanding political achievements. But now it has the only cinema in the surrounding towns.

In any case, it can be regarded as one of the highlights of the performance.

As long as the word "Duge" is used in the name, the results will be inseparable from Duge Township, and no one can get rid of it. Otherwise, why would the township insist on leasing the warehouse to him when the rent is only that much?

Well, this cannot be entirely attributed to Song Qiaoshan's factors.

Since a name can have such an effect, Hu Mingchen is also happy to pull off the tiger's skin.

Standing at the door of the newly painted cinema, looking at the five-character plaque with the words "Duge Cinema" hanging on the door, Hu Mingchen felt a sense of pride.

Regardless of whether the house at home can be repaired years ago, I can make the people here watch movies at home. This is a great contribution.

"Xiaochen, do you think there won't be many people watching tomorrow?" Hu Jianqiang, who was standing with Hu Mingchen at the gate, asked lack of confidence.

"Uncle Third, if no one comes to watch tomorrow, then we can close our doors. Don't forget, tomorrow is a market day, and our ticket price is half-price. If there is no one here, my house will really be closed."

We can only sleep in the open air dam." Hu Mingchen, on the contrary to Hu Jianqiang, was full of confidence.

According to Hu Mingchen's setting, the usual ticket price is two yuan per show, and five yuan per show, but it will open tomorrow. In order to give back to the local folks, Hu Mingchen set the ticket price to one yuan per show.

The Doug Cinema has two hundred seats, eighty of which are soft seats received from Chen Xuesheng, and the other one hundred and twenty are long chairs.

At first, Hu Mingchen wanted to differentiate between the two types of seats in terms of price, but later he changed his mind.

If price distinctions are made, it will increase the difficulty of daily management. In addition, prices are difficult to adjust. If the price of soft seats is raised, it will be a bit beyond the spending power of local people. However, lowering the price of long chairs is equivalent to

It is compressing its own profit margins.

So let’s just have one price for them all, and those who buy tickets first will choose first, adding a sense of competition and temptation.

"I'm still a little nervous," Hu Jianqiang said.

"Uncle Third, you are the manager of a cinema now. Why should you be nervous? It's not your fault if you lose money. I'm not afraid that no one will come tomorrow, but I'm afraid that it will be too crowded and there won't be enough seats inside." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

At this time, Hu Jianjun, Jiang Yucai and Hu Mingchen's sisters walked out of the cinema.

"Xiaochen, this cinema looks very good. Can I bring some classmates to watch it tomorrow?" Hu Yandie asked happily.

Although her family is still living under someone else's roof, Hu Yandie is still excited to see such a large cinema as her own.

"Yes, of course, as long as they buy tickets." Jiang Yucai said angrily.

"If they can afford the tickets, then what else can I say?" Hu Yandie pouted.

"Haha, sister, I'll give you five tickets, and you can bring five people to see it." Hu Mingchen didn't care about Jiang Yucai's statement. Seeing that she was about to object, Hu Mingchen quickly interrupted her: "Mom, it's open, how many people do you want to see?"

It’s nothing to make people laugh for a while. Although we are doing business, we can’t be ungrateful at all, and we can’t charge everyone money. For example, if my eldest brother and his family are coming tomorrow, is it possible to charge them tickets?”

"We are all living in their house now, how can we collect their money? If you are so kind, I will not break your legs." Jiang Yucai said with a stern face.

"What Xiaochen said is obviously impossible. Look at what you said, could he be so ignorant?" Hu Jianjun said.

"Brother, can you give me some tickets? I'll also bring some classmates." Seeing that Hu Yandie got five movie tickets, she almost jumped with joy, and Hu Yujiao couldn't help but stretched out her hand.

To be honest, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao are rarely proud of themselves in school, but if they can invite their close classmates and friends to watch a movie, their face and status in front of their classmates and friends will definitely be very different in the future.

.Don’t think that only adults have vanity. Sometimes, children’s vanity is even worse.

"No problem, I'll give you three." Hu Yujiao is young after all, and Hu Mingchen can't let her be overflowing with love.

If a few movie tickets can increase their confidence and win friendship and favor, Hu Mingchen thinks it's worth it.

Although she got two less movie tickets than her sister, Hu Yujiao was very satisfied and excited. She had already begun to figure out who to spend the three movie tickets on which would be the most cost-effective.

"Xiaochen, what if relatives and friends come tomorrow? For example, the relatives in Huangni Village, or the relatives in the Qingshuihe family in Sanjiazhai, do they also charge money?" Seeing Hu Mingchen giving Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao eight movie tickets, Hu Jianqiang asked

He asked after thinking for a moment.

Hu Jianqiang’s problem is very practical and will definitely be faced in the future.

"Relatives are relatives, and business is business. Since we are a movie theater, we still have to have the rules we should have. Otherwise, if people we know in the future come and don't charge, then half of the business will collapse. They don't charge.

, it is difficult to accept money from the people they bring, otherwise they will offend others. If the favor is too great at the beginning, it will be almost impossible to take it back later," Hu Mingchen said.

In fact, Hu Mingchen has been thinking about this issue in the past two days. His family has lived here for generations, and he has many relatives and friends. How to deal with these people is really scratching his head.

In rural areas, people attach great importance to human relations. If they are treated the same as other people, they will be considered to be indifferent and unkind, which will offend people.

But it was impossible for Hu Mingchen to keep refusing to collect their money, otherwise his work would be in vain. After much deliberation, Hu Mingchen only came up with a way to hide the truth.

"But if we accept their money, your third master and us will not be recognized and stabbed in the back." Hu Jianjun was troubled when he thought of that situation.

"It's okay, I found someone to take the blame." Hu Mingchen said with a narrow smile.

"Take the blame? Who can take the blame?" Hu Jianjun and Hu Jianqiang asked in unison.

"Of course the one who can take the blame is the big boss."

"Big boss? Where is the big boss? This cinema is run by our family. We have been talking about it for a long time, but it is still nonsense." Jiang Yucai asked in confusion.

"Haha, who said it was our family? Our family is just a small shareholder, and there are big bosses above us. Does our family have the strength to afford such a big cinema? No one will believe me if I tell you. The king in the city

Zhan and Chen Xuesheng are the big bosses, they take the lead, and our family is just promoted and participates in getting a share of the pie." Hu Mingchen said with a sly smile.

"What on earth are you talking about? It was never mentioned that they were involved in this cinema? How much money did they pay? We bought the equipment and installed the decoration. I haven't seen where their money is." Hu Jianjun asked.

Fog water channel.

"Yeah, didn't you say you have the final say in everything? Why are there two big bosses now?" Hu Jianqiang naturally didn't understand.

"You little brat, did you lie to us, oh no, were you cheated by others? The money was taken out by our family. Why did you run away after working so hard that the house couldn't be repaired?

Two unrelated people come out to be the big boss. Please explain it clearly to me. If you can't explain clearly, don't blame me for whipping you." Jiang Yucai yelled angrily.

After working hard for a long time, someone picked the peach. No matter who it was, he would not be able to accept it in his heart.

"I didn't mention it before, but didn't I mention it now? Why are you all staring at me... I wasn't deceived, I just wanted to deceive people. If I don't say this to the outside world, how can I sell tickets?

So no matter who asks externally, please don’t brag. They all say that Boss Wang and Boss Chen are the big bosses.

It wasn't me who asked for it, it was appointed by the two bosses. People will come to check and audit the accounts from time to time. If we do random favors, it will be difficult to explain. I have already mentioned this, don't you understand? Anyway, we are ourselves

I owe them both money, and saying they are one of the bosses is not nonsense." Hu Mingchen said narrowly.

"I seem to understand a little bit. You are using them as a shield, so that it becomes natural and natural for us to collect money, right?" Hu Jianqiang was the first to react.
