Chapter 455 The Real Fan Leader

The game continues.

Jiang Bing has been playing mahjong for more than half a year, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds. This is not comparable to semi-novices like Jiang Qi, Yan Huaiyou and Chen Chuchu who only sit on the mahjong table and play a few rounds during the Chinese New Year.

In the first few rounds, except for Yan Huaiyou's misbehavior, Jiang Bing won the rest. However, these four people don't really care about winning or losing. They mainly just chat.

Yan Huaiyou sighed and chatted about his several bars for a while.

When the bar opened, business was very good.

With Gong Ye, the king of mixing water, one bottle of the cheapest beer can be mixed into two bottles, not to mention cocktails. Gong Ye has a unique secret recipe for mixing water with water. If you mix it with water but cannot drink it, it will only make people feel that the taste of the wine is slightly weak and has a different flavor.

Gong Ye will get some nice-looking cups and give the wine a nice new name, and the guests will basically not care.

After Yan Huaiyou opened a script-killing shop, it can be said that it was smooth sailing and he encountered no setbacks. Before the transformation, C.C's business was very good whether it was light food, script killing or escape rooms. With store manager Xu as the backbone, Yan Huaiyou didn't have to worry.

Later, C.C transformed and seamlessly switched to a mahjong parlor, which made it even more profitable.

Now store manager Xu is still the store manager of C.C. C.C is still doing escape room and catering business. Yan Huaiyou even opened a small restaurant of his own, and with the addition of a bar, the business is in full swing.

Unexpectedly, the flowers blooming at the back are not growing very well and are faintly showing signs of withering.

The restaurant's business is quite satisfactory, barely maintaining a balance of payments. Even including the decoration expenses before opening the restaurant, it is still losing money.

Not to mention bars, several bars were losing money together. If it weren't for C.C still making money, Yan Huaiyou would have lost money and gone home to inherit the family business.

The bankruptcy of the rich second generation is so simple and unpretentious.

"I think the bar business itself is not suitable for you. Instead of opening a chain of bars, you might as well open a chain of mahjong parlors." Jiang Qi complained.

Yan Huaiyou has no talent in opening a bar, but he is self-taught in opening a mahjong parlor. If he is willing to open a chain of mahjong parlors, he can one day hang the C.C. brand all over the streets and alleys of Xuncheng and become the uncrowned king of the mahjong parlor world in Xuncheng.

"Look, I'm not the only one who thinks so." Chen Chuchu typed out a nine-note, "First, you don't know how to mix water, second, you don't know how to sell fake wine, third, you don't know how to pick rotten fruit, and you are far inferior to Gong Ye in terms of interpersonal relationships. . It’s better to resell the bar while it’s still worth some money. It’s normal to fail in business. When I wrote articles on the financial sector in the early years, I interviewed countless businessmen. Everyone fails sometimes.”

"Back then, our Xuncheng richest man, Mr. Fang of Fresh Milk, failed and went bankrupt. Now even the amusement park has been sold to Jiang Qi."

"Yes." Jiang Bing advised with a tone of experience, "My family's ancestral business failed and went bankrupt. My father's business failed and went bankrupt when my brother and I were young. He has been evading debts for more than ten years."

"Before I opened Bingbing Bed and Breakfast, I opened more than 20 stores, and my brother also helped me open many of them. In business, winning or losing is a common thing. If this kind of business doesn't work, just change it. You can always find it. suitable."

"I also experienced more than 20 failures before I found the kind of success."

Jiang Qi:......

Sister, you opened more than 20 stores and closed down more than 20 stores. Don’t bullshit me, as if I won’t go bankrupt if I don’t take over those stores.

Seeing that Yan Huaiyou still looked sad, Jiang Qi thought that he was still a little reluctant to give up on his failed bar business. After all, before the bar opened, Yan Huaiyou was so complacent.

Jiang Qi could only say with relief: "If you don't want to change hands, I think you can ask the palace director for advice. You have been partners before, and the palace director is also very enthusiastic and should be able to help you."

Yan Huaiyou put on a mask of pain: "Do you think I don't want to change hands? Isn't it impossible to transfer it to bad hands?"

"Damn it, where did Gong Ye find the taker? How come I couldn't meet such a scapegoat?"

Three people:......

After talking about his tragic entrepreneurial history, Yan Huaiyou only felt that the more he talked, the more sad he became.

Looking at the two successful capitalists at the same table, Yan Huaiyou was filled with sadness. He felt that he could no longer talk about himself, so he turned the conversation to Gong Ye.

"Do you know the name of the small web drama that Gong Ye directed and invested this time?"

"What's your name?" Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing said in unison.

""The Domineering President Loves Hard"."

Three people:......

"Ah this..." Jiang Qi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Not only Jiang Qi was silent, but Jiang Bing, who had been familiar with all kinds of hegemonic literature since he was in junior high school, was also silent. Jiang Bing wasn't very familiar with Gong Ye, having only met a few times. She knew that Gong Ye sold fake wine and had been an assistant director before, but she didn't expect that Gong Ye would be so explosive as a director.

"What mentality did he have in investing in this drama?" Jiang Qi suddenly wanted to visit Gong Ye's crew. By the way, he brought a microphone and a recorder to interview Gong Ye on the spot to understand the new director's journey.

Yan Huaiyou, who successfully changed the subject, secretly rejoiced and said calmly: "I asked, and he was told that there are too many low-cost online dramas these days, and he is not a talented and experienced director. It is too difficult to get out of the industry based on his strength."

"You can't win attention by relying on your strength, so you can only rely on crooked ways."

"It's quite evil, it's all evil." Jiang Qi complained helplessly, "This theme is even more evil than the art museum being renovated in our amusement park."

Yan Huaiyou and Chen Chuchu didn't know what the art museum under construction in the amusement park was, so they subconsciously agreed with Jiang Qi's words.

Chen Chuchu was a little curious and asked, "Why is there an art gallery in the amusement park?"

"The Art Museum is a new amusement project, focusing on green health and sports. It is expected to be put into use after the year. Remember to come and experience it then." Jiang Qi had a friendly smile on his face.

"Oh." Chen Chuchu nodded repeatedly, "That's pretty good. Most people sitting in offices now are sedentary. It would be nice if you could play a sports program at an amusement park. It's very innovative. .”

"Generally, it's all for the health of tourists."

In this way, the four of them chatted and played mahjong. Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing also tried C.C's fried rice and dumplings. The taste is average, but the portion is large and filling, which is really suitable for those who are staying at the club or those who are hungry at the nightclub.

After playing mahjong, Jiang Qi went to pay attention to the business of the Galaxy Script Club opposite. It was not bad, much better than the last time Jiang Qi came here.

"We Meet Again" is really popular. On a weekday evening show, there are only 5 scripts in total, and 4 of them are "We Meet Again", and there is not even one episode of "Class Reunion Murder".

However, Liu Lan also praised "Class Reunion Murder". This is a hard-core mystery book. The average player basically needs 10 hours to play. If you want to play, you can only make an appointment in the morning, and there are very few appointments in the afternoon.

Appointments for "Class Reunion Murders" are mostly on weekends. There are still very few players who come to the script shop to play this kind of ultra-long hardcore book on weekdays. After all, normal people still have to go to work and go to school. Who can do it this year? It’s time to write a hard-core book.

Not to mention that playing this kind of hard-core game requires a lot of brainpower. When you are playing it to the fullest, you will start to feel dizzy on the way home. In extreme cases, you will not be able to sleep well at night.

"We Meet Again" is different. Even if I cry for two hours, I can sleep peacefully when I go back, and I can still go to work radiant when I wake up the next morning.

After seeing the status of several newly recruited DMs, Jiang Qi left with satisfaction. When he walked to the intersection to take a taxi, he happened to meet Liu Lan who was returning from buying a barbecue.

When Liu Lan saw Jiang Qi was about to leave, he quickly called him.

"Jiang Qi, wait a minute, do you want to have some barbecue together? I just have something to ask you."

The barbecue Liu Lan bought was the one Jiang Qi used to eat at. Jiang Qi nodded and agreed happily, and followed Liu Lan to the employee lounge of the new store.

There is no one in the employee lounge at this time. Those who have to work are writing books in the room, and those who are not working have gone home from get off work. Liu Lan will stay in the store not because she is the store manager, but because her family lives nearby. If she brings barbecue home to eat, her mother will scold her, but her mother will not know if she eats in the store.

The employee lounge was a mess, filled with employees' supplies. The most conspicuous thing was the makeup mirror and cosmetics on the small table. They were scattered all over the table, and the eye shadow caps were not covered.

Liu Lan skillfully swept aside the cosmetics on the table, making room for the barbecue, and diligently moved a comfortable high stool for Jiang Qi.

"I heard that Feng Ling and the others are going to sing at the Grand Theater in Shanghai tomorrow!"

"It's not about singing tomorrow, it's about starting tomorrow, and the performance time is the day after tomorrow." Jiang Qi corrected.

"Almost, almost." Liu Lan picked through the barbecue and finally chose roasted chicken skin, "Which theater is it specifically?"

"Fangyuan Theater." Jiang Qi said.

Liu Lan nodded, took out the phone from his pocket with his clean left hand and put it on the table. He typed awkwardly with one hand. While typing, he whispered to himself: "Fang Yuan - Theater."

"There is only one Fangyuan Theater in the Magic City, right?"

Jiang Qi laughed: "How can a theater in a city have the same name? If it really happens, the two theaters will not fight."

Liu Lan thought it made sense and continued to click on the phone screen. Jiang Qi took a glance and found that she seemed to want to buy a ticket and clicked on the ticket sales interface.

"This ticket is not as expensive as I thought. The corner tickets are 80, and there are 160, 280... Oh, the tickets in the middle of the first few rows are so expensive, 660, and the first row is sold out!"

"The second row...the middle seat is gone too. Let's move to the third row, it's all the same."

Liu Lan decisively chose the seat in the middle of the third row to buy tickets.

Jiang Qi was a little confused and stopped Liu Lan who wanted to enter the password to pay.

"It's in the Magic City, not our city or the city next door."

"I know." Liu Lan continued to enter the password and the payment was successful. "I will buy the ticket for my grandpa."

"My grandpa looked at Leader Feng's circle of friends and knew that the theater was going to perform in Shanghai in the next two days. He asked me to buy tickets for him. He was going to the Fangyuan Theater to support Leader Feng and the others."

"My grandpa went to Shanghai yesterday. If you hadn't come here today, I would have almost forgotten about buying a ticket."

Jiang Qi didn't expect that Mr. Pei, a man who supported Leader Feng's career and was usually unwilling to even go out to the village, was now willing to go all the way to the Magic City to support the troupe. He was extremely touched for a moment.

Grandma Nangong has always been recognized as the leader of fans of the theater troupe before. Jiang Qi feels that this time Grandma Nangong's status as the leader of fans may be in jeopardy.

Traveling thousands of miles just to buy the most expensive ticket to support the cause of Master Feng, what a touching older fan!

Jiang Qi believes that if the leader Feng on the stage could see Mr. Pei in the middle of the third row, he would be excited and perform at a super level, and vividly interpret the eunuch who is acrimonious in the beginning, adapts to the situation, and behaves like a villain.

"It's so touching." Jiang Qi was so moved that he wanted to cry, "I didn't expect that your grandpa is the most loyal theater fan of Master Feng."

"That's not the case." Liu Lan swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and said vaguely, "My grandpa thinks that Leader Feng is generally not as good at singing as his father, and Leader Feng's son is even worse than Leader Feng."

"My grandpa said that Banzhu Feng and his father's biggest wish when he was alive was to sing on a big stage in a big city. If he could go to a big theater in Peiping and sing once, he would really die without regrets."

"Turns out, Leader Feng's father has never even been to Peking, not to mention singing in the big theater in Peking. The farthest place he has ever been to in his life is the next city, not even the province."

As he said this, Liu Lan's drama addiction suddenly came to him: "I'll teach you what my grandpa told me on the phone."

"My dear, if Xiao Feng's play is so bad, he can still go to the big theater in Shanghai to sing. He is like smoke rising from his ancestral grave. His father buried it well back then!"

Liu Lan majored in broadcasting and hosting, and he imitated his grandfather's tone and voice very well. For a moment, Jiang Qi seemed to see Mr. Pei talking at his high voice across from him.

"I must go and support this! Take two photos and bring them back. When I have time, I can go to Lao Feng's grave and have a chat with him, so that he can be happy even underground."

Jiang Qi:......

Okay, I hope Old Master Feng has not been reincarnated yet and can be happy underground.

After imitating her grandfather's tone, Liu Lan calmed down and continued eating.

Jiang Qi also ate quietly for a while and suddenly asked: "How are the tickets for tomorrow night?"

"Tickets? Very good. Many have been sold. There is only one 80 ticket left." Liu Lan said, fearing that he had remembered wrongly, he took out his mobile phone and showed it to Jiang Qi.

The tickets for the first game have sold really well, nearly 70% have been sold so far, and all the high-priced tickets in the first row have been sold. Jiang Qi counted, including the one Liu Lan bought for her grandfather, a total of 27 of the 660 tickets were sold.

I just don’t know how many employees there are in Feng Zhiqiu’s store, I hope it’s not 26.

Yang Chaoge was quite generous. Although the drama department could not arrange a large theater, the small theater arranged was quite large, with more than 300 seats.

Ticket prices are generally not expensive, with low-priced tickets priced at 80 and 160 accounting for half of the total. Some 160 tickets are in good locations in Jiang Qi's opinion.

Of course, these good locations have already been sold.

If you want to buy tickets next, you should either buy a seat in the corner, or spend more money to buy a seat closer to the front.

For a theater troupe from a small, unknown place to sell so many tickets for its first performance, it exceeded Jiang Qi's expectations.

It seems that the Fangyuan Theater has been promoting very hard and attaches great importance to this performance. The training of everyone in the troupe during this period has not been in vain.

Jiang Qi left with satisfaction, already beginning to look forward to the premiere in the Magic City the day after tomorrow.
