Chapter 450 Abacus

The 13th safety inspection ended with the shrill scream of the last little sparrow flying swaying.

Overall, apart from the indelible psychological shadow that the sparrows suffered, this safety inspection was very successful.

Directly proves the safety of the laser array.

The 20 sparrows were unable to predict their flight path or reaction. Whether they were flying towards the wall, hitting the muzzle of the gun, or spinning around in confusion, they all managed to escape unscathed without a single hair being hit. .

Of course, the hair you scared off doesn’t count.

Wang Xinghua skillfully floated over to clean up the battlefield, collected the sparrow hairs that fell on the ground, picked out the ones in complete condition, and approached an android and asked: "F4404, do you want this kind of hair?"

F4404 nodded and replied in a low voice: "Yes, thank you, Miss Wang."

Wang Xinghua stuffed the sparrow feathers into the android and floated back to Jiang Qi: "Boss, you and Feng Ling came to see me for something in the theater?"

Jiang Qi did not answer Wang Xinghua's question first, but looked at Sparrow Feather curiously and asked, "What do you want Sparrow Feather for?"

"I'm not very sure either. F4404 said that after watching us catch sparrows to test the laser array in the past two days, he suddenly got inspiration and wanted to make an ornament with sparrow feathers. What is it called The End of the Road?" Wang Xinghua scratched her head in confusion. Obviously she also I don’t really understand the aesthetics of androids, “It’s weird.”

"Boss, what are you doing here?" Wang Xinghua asked again.

Jiang Qi talked about the Fangyuan Theater and expressed his views by the way.

He thinks this job is quite reliable. After all, everyone in the theater is idle now, and Taiping Town doesn't have to do it with them. Even if I can't make much money on this business trip to the magical capital, it's still good to gain some experience, at least I won't lose money.

This time it was the invitation from the Fangyuan Theater. Jiang Qi thought that the other party should at least provide food and accommodation.

As soon as she heard that she could go on a business trip, Wang Xinghua immediately became energetic, her voice rose an octave, and she said excitedly: "That's okay. When my father was running a theater troupe, business trips were the most profitable!"

As she said that, Wang Xinghua counted the benefits of foreign travel to Jiang Qi with her fingers: "Generally, those who are willing to invite outside troupes to perform in operas are big theaters. The travel and horse expenses are definitely included, as well as the food and lodging, and the food is usually free. It would be too bad.”

"The most important thing is to have a lot of money. I remember there are two ways to divide the money. One is to pay per performance. No matter what you sing or how many performances you sing, one performance is the money for one performance."

"This is basically the standard of charging for singing at the homes of powerful people."

"The other is ticket sharing. There is usually a guaranteed minimum price for ticket sharing, and the minimum price has to be a certain number. However, those who can be invited out are famous and powerful troupes. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be so bad that it does not even have the lowest price. You can’t sell it even if you get a share of the price.”

"How are the shares generally divided?" Jiang Qi asked humbly.

"This depends on the strength of each troupe. It can range from 28 to 82, usually 50 to 50." Wang Xinghua thought for a moment, "A troupe in a small place like ours can talk about Five to five is good. Boss, have you contacted the other party? Will you talk to them or I to talk to them?"

"I'll contact you later. You must be the one to talk to them." Jiang Qi said.

"Okay." Wang Xinghua was full of confidence, took out her mobile phone and started surfing the Internet.

When Jiang Qi saw that Wang Xinghua clicked on the browser, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you checking?"

"Dirty material from the Square Theater!"

Okay, this is very exciting.

Now that Wang Xinghua was ready, Jiang Qi clicked on the recommendation on the WeChat business card sent by Yin Fei before and added Aunt Yang Qing's WeChat.

Aunt Yang Qing's WeChat name is probably her real name, Yang Chaoge.

The name is quite nice.

Yang Chaoge passed almost instantly.

Yang Chaoge: Hello, Boss Jiang, I am Yang Qing’s aunt, Yang Chaoge, manager of the Opera Department of Fangyuan Theater.

Opera manager?

Since he is the manager of the drama department, does the Fangyuan Theater also have a drama department manager, a musical and dance department manager, and a series of other managers?

A little trivia, Feng Zhiqiu never said before that the managers of Fangyuan Theater are in different departments. Jiang Qi thought that Fangyuan Theater only had one manager, who was a middle-level manager, and that there were many senior managers above him.

After all, there are not many companies like amusement parks where the top management is managers and supervisors.

But it's normal for Feng Zhiqiu not to know. She is just an ordinary audience member. She has never even bought a ticket for an opera performed in the Fangyuan Theater. It is strange to know the job classification of the Fangyuan Theater.

"Xinghua, check if there is any difference between the opera department manager of Fangyuan Theater and several other department managers." Jiang Qi gave Wang Xinghua a difficult task.

"Okay." Wang Xinghua began to search frantically.

Jiang Qi: Hello.

Jiang Qi just stood in the art museum and started chatting with Yang Chaoge on WeChat.

Feng Ling could neither help Jiang Qi chat, nor did he understand that the mobile phone could not use keyword searches with Wang Xinghua to search for needed news, so he could only watch from the side eagerly to see when he would have a job.

Feng Ling even moved a chair for Jiang Qi so that Jiang Qi could sit and chat.

Jiang Qi and Yang Chaoge chatted for an hour.

It's not that Jiang Qi jumped over and became more motivated to work hard, and helped Wang Xinghua do the price negotiation work by the way, but Yang Chaoge did seem a bit poor here.

Poor, but not completely poor.

Yang Chaoge is a very honest collaborator. He never hides what he says, maybe because he has nothing to hide, and he can find information on the Internet if he wants to find it.

A lot of the information Yang Chaoge said can also be matched with what Wang Xinghua searched on the Internet.

The Fangyuan Theater is indeed one of the larger theaters in the Magic City, and Yang Chaoge is indeed the manager of the opera department. The Fangyuan Theater even has its own theater troupe, with stable performances every week.

But it's only one game a week.

Tickets can be searched on the review software. Every Sunday at 2:30 pm, small theater performances are held every week. You can even buy tickets for the next month in advance.

Compared with what Feng Zhiqiu said about musical theater tickets and drama tickets, theater tickets are relatively cheap. The most expensive one is more than 500, and the cheapest one is only 80. It can also be seen from the ticket prices that operas at the Fangyuan Theater are far less popular than other performances.

It's normal, young people these days who have nothing to do, go to the theater on Sunday afternoon to spend money to buy tickets and watch the show.

It would be nice to be able to use your mobile phone to watch free videos online.

However, Wang Xinghua also received some useful information, that is, the Fangyuan Theater had a lot of news about inviting famous theater troupes from other cities to perform. Basically, every time other theater groups are invited to perform, there are several news reports. Judging from the reports, the attendance rate is not bad, which shows that Fangyuan Theater has a small but stable group of theater fans.

According to what Wang Xinghua searched, the Opera Department of Fangyuan Theater has not had a performance by an outside theater troupe in the past four months, indicating that it has been unable to recruit people recently.

No wonder it attracted the attention of amusement parks.

Yang Chaoge's attitude was very good.

The carriage fare is no problem. Regardless of whether Jiang Qi takes a bus, takes the high-speed rail or flies, Yang Chaoge can reimburse the entire fare. It doesn't cost much anyway.

Accommodation and board are all-inclusive, no problem. But the funds are limited, so I can only stay in a small hotel in a remote location with relatively poor conditions. We also eat lunch boxes with the theater troupe. Yang Chaoge promised that the lunch boxes must be two meat and two vegetarian dishes and taste good.

As for the price, Jiang Qi didn't even ask, and Yang Chaoge quoted the price directly.

As for the share, the amusement park gets 35%.

If the ticket sales are really bad, as long as Feng Ling comes on stage to sing, Fangyuan Theater will give you at least 1,000 yuan per performance, which is considered a hard-earned fee.

Compared with Wang Xinghua's highest estimate, which was only 55, the price offered by Yang Chaoge was considered very sincere.

Jiang Qi was so sincere that he didn't know whether he should send Wang Xinghua over to continue talking to Yang Chaoge.

Jiang Qi handed the chat record to Wang Xinghua, and Wang Xinghua fell silent after reading it.

"The other party is so sincere, could he be cheating?" Feng Ling felt that it was better to be cautious at this time.

Although she doesn't know how to do business, she has seen a lot of competition among various opera troupes over the years. Not only does competition pit opponents, cooperation also pits opponents. For such a sincere collaborator, Feng Ling is still the first See you next time.

"Probably not. I really can't think of where the deceit can be hidden if someone is already so sincere." Although Jiang Qi also felt that something was strange, he couldn't explain why, "How about we go Could you please consult Principal Peggy?”

Wang Xinghua raised her hand to indicate that it was not the time to consult Principal Peggy yet, and calmly analyzed: "I think it may be because the other party has no need to trick us."

"According to previous analysis, Fangyuan Theater has a stable group of theater fans."

Jiang Qi and Feng Ling nodded.

"I just checked online and also went to the ticket sales interface to count. Their small theaters generally have between 100 and 300 seats."

"We are a fresh theater, and "The Princess" is also a very fresh new play. A little promotion of the premiere will definitely not be bad. The first show will definitely make money."

Jiang Qi and Feng Ling continued to nod.

"With any luck, the ticket sales for the next two games will not be bad."

"I have made statistics. In the past two years, Fangyuan Theater has invited outside troupes to sing operas, and the shortest period of time is three days. Tickets are generally not sold on Friday nights, Saturday afternoons, Sunday afternoons, and Mondays to Thursdays."

"So." Wang Xinghua said with certainty, "Manager Yang's plan is to let us sing for three days."

After listening to Wang Xinghua's sharing of information, Jiang Qi thought it was possible. He re-read the previous chat records and had some ideas.

"It's true that we haven't talked about the specific number of days we will sing, but if Manager Yang had the idea of ​​only letting us sing for three days from the beginning, why didn't he just say it?" Jiang Qi asked.

"I may know this." Feng Ling raised her hand weakly, "It should be that "The Legend of the Princess" in our amusement park is too popular, and Manager Yang doesn't want to waste time."

"In case the three-day show is over and the audience increases instead of decreasing, it will be much more convenient to renew the show if you have not signed a contract before. If you have already signed a contract for only three days, and the Fangyuan Theater wants to add another show and increase the time later, The share given to us must be more than 35%."

"Things like drama are sometimes quite mysterious. A drama that is a big hit in one place can usually be a big hit in another place."

"If it was Xinghua and I at that time, if a big theater from other places invited us to sing in a play, they would definitely sign a longer term without hesitation. But now times have changed, and there are fewer people watching the play. The theater in our amusement park can An important reason why the theater is full every night is because the theater tickets are sold cheaply and there are enough guests in the park."

"Now in another place, if theater tickets are sold for 80 or even 500, the guests may not be as supportive as before. Manager Yang must also have this concern in her heart, and she does not dare to sign for too long at one time. But she is worried In the event of a big hit, we will squander the Fangyuan Theater in terms of share, so we didn’t mention the time on purpose.”

Jiang Qi looked at Wang Xinghua: "Then I'll withdraw first, and you can continue the conversation?"

Wang Xinghua nodded: "Okay, but the drama department of the Fangyuan Theater doesn't have much money to begin with. If we talk about it further, it will probably reach 4 achievements."

"I think this share is already very good." Feng Ling said, speaking with a little more caution, "Under normal circumstances, if our play can be a big hit, the other party will take the initiative to increase the share to give us more Sing for a while. Anyway, our troupe doesn’t have any plays to sing in these few months. We only have time. Even if we sing in the magic city for two months, it’s okay.”

“And we don’t just have ‘The Princess’.”

Feng Ling had already mentioned this, and obviously wanted to go to the Fangyuan Theater to sing, and was afraid that Jiang Qi would be dissatisfied with Yang Chaoge's small calculations and collapse this cooperation.

Jiang Qi smiled and comforted: "I know, just let Xinghua continue to finalize it. Feng Ling, just wait and sing in the opera."

Feng Lingtong suddenly burst into joy, looking a bit like an 18-year-old girl should have.

Jiang Qi replied that there was no problem with Yang Chaoge, and pushed Wang Xinghua's WeChat account to her so that she could continue to finalize follow-up matters with the person in charge of the theater. I went back to the office to continue fishing. There was still brewed ginseng tea in the office. I hadn’t finished it yet, so I couldn’t waste it.

When Jiang Qi was approaching the entrance of the visitor center, he saw the sneaky Shen Daoan.

It wasn't that he was biased against Shen Daoan and deliberately said that the other party was sneaky, it was that Shen Daoan's current behavior really looked like a thief, and at worst he was a spy.

Shen Daoyang was wandering around the amusement center like a normal tourist, but his eyes were always staring at the amusement park office area next to the visitor center.

Jiang Qi:?

Boss Shen, what's going on? Unable to write the core plot of Ben, you go to the office area of ​​an amusement park to play Mission: Impossible for inspiration?

You, a well-known mystery book author and publisher, have no use stealing the amusement park's trade secrets.

Could it be that Boss Shen wants to switch careers and open an amusement park?

No, Boss Shen doesn’t have any money either.

Jiang Qi scratched his head in confusion and walked towards the office area without approaching Shen Daoan.

Then at the stairs on the first floor, I met Jiang Cha who was going downstairs to pick up a courier.

"Boss." Jiang Cha took the initiative, "Have you eaten the American ginseng slices that Uncle Huang gave you?"

"I ate it," Jiang Qi said. "I used it to make water to make tea, but I didn't eat much. I just ate a few slices."

"I remember Uncle Huang gave you two cans."

"That's right."

"Can you give me a can?" This was the first time Jiang Cha asked Jiang Qi for something.

"Eh?" Jiang Qi nodded subconsciously, "Okay, you can go get it from my office later."

Jiang Cha smiled without revealing his true thoughts at this moment.

What a mistake. I chewed up the ginseng slices Huang Fugui gave me before the purchased ginseng slices arrived.

Jiangcha didn't know which live broadcast room Huang Fugui bought his American ginseng from. Huang Fugui was shopping in more than 30 live broadcast rooms at the same time, including seven or eight who sold American ginseng alone.

Even if Jiang Cha asked, Huang Fugui probably wouldn't remember where he bought it. He bought American ginseng slices from several stores and couldn't tell where they were.

Jiang Cha knew that different ginseng tablets had different medicinal effects. She was not like Huang Fugui who watched live broadcasts every day. She had previously clicked on a live broadcast room and placed an order directly.

Besides, she didn’t know much about ginseng. People bought ginseng slices as medicinal tonic, but she bought ginseng slices as dry radishes to chew.

When the time comes, the ginseng tablets she bought will not protect her hair. She will not be able to go to the live broadcast room to trouble the anchor. Whose ginseng tablets can protect her hair?

I regretted it the next day after buying Jiang Cha.

Especially now, big data is amazing. On the second day after buying the ginseng tablets, Jiangcha received push news about being cheated during live streaming shopping.

She now needs a control group to compare the difference between the ginseng slices she bought and those bought by Huang Fugui.

Seeing Jiang Cha turn around and leave to get the express delivery, Jiang Qi quickly stopped her: "Boss Shen has been wandering outside. Do you know what he is here for?"

Jiang Cha glanced in the direction of Boss Shen and said calmly: "I seem to be looking for someone."

Find someone?

Jiang Qi was even more confused. Does Shen Daoan have friends in the amusement park?

Jiang Qi shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. As long as Jiang Cha was watching, it would be fine.

If you want to find someone, let him find it. If it doesn't work, ask him who he is looking for tomorrow, and he, the boss, will personally help find him.
