Chapter 268 First Battle
Li Banfeng said: "My last name is Ye, which means night. I will buy your cinema.
The owner of Sanfu Cinema is quite knowledgeable. He has seen the introduction of rare surnames in a magazine, and there is indeed a surname called Ye.
"It turns out to be Boss Ye. Do you really want to show "Blood Gun Detective"? "
Li Banfeng nodded: "I just like this movie."
The boss gritted his teeth and said: "I like this movie too. It is a good movie. If I were a few years younger, I would fight with those bastards with you..."
As he spoke, the cinema owner choked up a little.
He was really dissatisfied in his heart.
It's good to know that he is dissatisfied, which proves that he is still brave.
"Boss Ye, I can sell this cinema to you. How much do you want to pay?"
"You name a price first. ”
The owner of the cinema asked for two hundred dollars.
This price is cheap, ridiculously cheap.
The main reason is that the owner is in a hurry to sell it, and the cinema is just a shell, which has been smashed.
Fortunately, this is Heishipo, and everything is easy to buy.
The task of tidying up the cinema was handed over to Xiao Chuanzi. He just needed to do it simply, as long as he could watch movies. Li Banfeng asked him to finish it in three days.
The owner of the cinema was Bai Qiusheng. He had been to Heishipo before, so he was not likely to arouse suspicion.
As soon as the construction started, the news spread quickly.
In a large and antique mansion in the south of Heishipo, Tang Peigong, the elder of Heishipo of the Qingshou Society, was reading in the study.
In Heishipo, such houses are rare, and there are no trains in the two streets in front and behind.
Tang Peigong was devoted to learning and ancient things all his life. He admired the ancient sages the most and was most obsessed with the sages' unique knowledge.
He hated trains, machines, movies, newspapers and magazines, and believed that these things destroyed both peace and quiet and morality.
Taking the train as an example, Tang Peigong once commented: "This thing swallows clouds and spits out smoke, and the sound is like thunder. It is no different from the demons recorded in ancient books.
When people are in the carriage, it is like entering the belly of a demon. Just for the convenience of walking, the spirit and soul are all taken by the demon. It is ridiculous and sad that they are willing to fall for the sake of temporary comfort. "
In Tang Peigong's view, the convenience brought by machines is the culprit that promotes pleasure and depravity.
Tang Peigong often taught his disciples that the purpose of life is to constantly hone and grow under the teachings of saints. Any thoughts of greed for pleasure and comfort are the destruction and corrosion of the body and mind.
He was also very strict with his family, asking them to persist in honing and stop enjoying themselves.
He required his wife and twenty-six concubines to attend morning classes every day and study the teachings of saints with him, so as not to let the thoughts of depravity take advantage of the opportunity and ruin the family style.
As an elder of the Qingshou Society, he was one of the most prestigious people in Heishipo. He led people to smash two cinemas. Now he heard that one of the cinemas was going to open again. Tang Peigong was very unhappy:
"Who bought the Sanfu Cinema? ”
A student said: "It is a writer named Bai Qiusheng. He has been in Heishipo for more than ten years and made a living by writing some inferior articles.
Now I heard that he made some money in Lushui City and returned to Heishipo to run an industry. ”
Tang Peigong sighed: "It's okay to give him a living, but if he dares to show those immoral movies again, I will never let him go!"
The student nodded and said: "Disciple will go and give him a lesson."
Tang Peigong nodded, and the student immediately went to Sanfu Cinema.
The student's name is Ai Chixiang, and he is Tang Peigong's most loyal disciple.
Bai Qiusheng was busy writing newspapers and was not in the cinema. Ai Chixiang gave Xiao Chuanzi a lesson.
He was full of nonsense, and Xiao Chuanzi didn't understand, and agreed to everything according to Li Banfeng's words.
Several workers in the renovated cinema spat at Ai Chixiang.
Ai Chixiang said angrily: "What do you mean? "
A worker laughed and said, "Spitting, you're also taking this?"
Ai Chixiang cursed and left.
Xiao Chuanzi looked at the workers and praised, "Great, brothers, you guys are brave!"
A worker said hatefully, "These bastards are all useless. What's wrong with watching a movie? Why are they disgusting us?
You said that we are violating morals by watching a movie, but his master married 26 concubines, isn't that violating morals?"
Many workers followed suit and cursed.
Li Banfeng sat on the second floor of the cinema and heard it clearly with his earrings.
The owner of the cinema is a man of blood.
This kind of person seems to be not an exception in Heishipo.
This may be a characteristic of Heishipo.
Lu Maoxian's industries are all in Heishipo, but he himself does not live in Heishipo, which may be related to the characteristics of Heishipo.
Xiao Chuanzi called these workers together and said in a low voice, "There is another job, which must be done at night, and the wages are three times. Are you willing to come? ”
…
Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi, along with a group of writers, spent half a day editing the first issue of the newspaper. They typeset and printed it that afternoon, with a total of 3,000 copies printed.
Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Just print this much?"
Bai Qiusheng smiled and said, "In Heishipo, a new newspaper is on the market for the first time, so this number is quite large. The paper and ink have their own costs, so it would be inappropriate to print too much."
"How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Ma Wu said, "The price is 60 cents. It's a new newspaper. Let's make some money first."
"Is this the selling price at the newsstand? What is the purchase price at the newsstand here?"
Li Banfeng doesn't understand the business methods of newspapers, especially the business methods of Heishipo.
Ma Wu said: "There is no purchase price for newspapers. We will send them to various newsstands to sell. The two parties will share the money for the sold newspapers. The unsold newspapers will be returned in their original form. We will sell them to the paper mill as waste paper and buy new paper.
To put it simply, if we can sell 2,000 of the 3,000 newspapers, we will break even and make a small profit. If we sell 1,000, we will lose money."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "You can't sell it this way. Print 5,000 and sell each newspaper for 20 cents."
"Sell for 20 cents?" Ma Wu shook his head repeatedly, "You can't do it this way. Even if you sell all of them, you can't get back the cost."
"You are really a business savvy," Li Banfeng laughed, "Do you really expect to make money from this thing?"
Ma Wu patted his forehead. As a businessman, he is used to calculating the cost and profit, and he really forgets the main business.
"I listen to you, 20 cents."
The hand-cranked printing press printed 2,000 more copies, and people had to be hired to stack the newspapers. After working until dusk, the first issue of "Night Jasmine" was finally delivered.
A masterpiece by a famous writer, at a low price. The newspaper buyers knew what was good. That night, newsstands all over the country sold out.
The next day, the newsstands asked for more printing. Ma Wu printed 5,000 more. Li Banfeng urged the writer to continue with the second issue, and one printing press was not enough.
Ma Wu called Chuanzi and asked him to buy two more printing presses. The second issue of "Night Jasmine" sold 25,000.
Newsstands of all sizes wanted more printing.
Ma Wu went to buy machines and hire people. The factory was busy.
The third issue of the newspaper came out, and the first issue of the magazine also came out.
The front-page news of this issue of the newspaper was not copied from major newspapers, but was written by Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi themselves.
"Blood Gun Detective 3" will be screened tonight at Sanfu Cinema. The cinema will offer a 40% discount.
Nearly half of the articles in the magazine are series reviews of "Blood Gun Detective".
The newspapers and magazines were packed properly. Ma Wu was about to arrange for someone to deliver the goods when someone came to his door.
Li Banfeng thought that the people from the Qing Shouhui had come. If they came at this time, it would be difficult to deal with them.
Yuwenqi reminded him: "Seventh Master, don't forget that the Qing Shouhui has three methods: beating with sticks, pulling braids, and labeling. You must be careful to deal with them."
But when Bai Qiusheng went out to see, it was not the people from the Qing Shouhui who came, but a group of men in their twenties and thirties. They kicked the packed newspapers and magazines all over the floor and kicked and beat a group of workers who were stacking newspapers.
The workers in Black Stone City were not cowards. They stepped forward to fight with these gangsters, and Bai Qiusheng hurried forward to stop them.
Yuwenqi was in the factory and lowered his voice to Li Banfeng: "These are people from the Green Fire Gang. They are not easy to deal with."
"How are they not easy to deal with?"
In Pro Province, there are two thresholds for doing business. One is the big family and the other is the gang. No matter which side you are affiliated with, you have to pay bonuses.
Yuwenqi said: "The Green Fire Gang is ruthless in asking for money, using poison, burning shops, killing people, and doing everything. Master Qi, should we use force or soft tactics against them?"
Li Banfeng smiled: "You came at the right time. These people are very useful. Let's use soft tactics first."
Yuwenqi didn't understand. What use could this group of thugs have?
The leader of this group of gang disciples was Zeng Wenbing, the second child in the family, and called himself Zeng Erye.
Bai Qiusheng recognized him and nodded and said: "Second Master, when did you come? You didn't even tell me in advance. Please come in..."
Zeng Wenbing stretched out his hand and slapped Bai Qiusheng: "What are you talking about? Do I know you? Do you know the rules when you do business in our territory without even saying hello?"
Bai Qiusheng didn't dare to say more. He had to smile on his face after being beaten: "Second Master, my business has just opened, and I haven't had time to tell you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, bring 20,000 yuan immediately, this is your entry fee, and you will spend at the end of the month. Red is another matter."
"Second Master, our small business has not made any money yet, and you asked for 20,000..."
"You're looking for trouble, right? I'm telling you, I'm standing here smoking a cigarette, and if I finish this cigarette, if you don't give me the money, I'll burn your place down."
Bai Qiusheng hurried back to the factory and said to Li Banfeng, "He wants 20,000."
Li Banfeng said, "Give it to him. Remember the slap just now, and remember that you hit the workers. You have to get your principal and interest back in two days."
Bai Qiusheng gave the money, and Zeng Wenbing led his men away.
Ma Wu ordered people to organize books and newspapers and deliver them to various newsstands.
The next night, Li Banfeng arranged everything and sat on the roof of the cinema, behind the sign, waiting quietly.
A lot of people came to the door of the cinema. The publicity of "Night Jasmine" was very strong, and "Blood Gun Detective" was very attractive.
There is another key point, the people in Heishipo are brave.
As long as the cinema dares to show it, they dare to watch it!
The film still had half an hour to go, and the hall was already packed with people.
The elder Tang Peigong of Heishipo of the Qingshou Society came with his people.
He was followed by hundreds of disciples, and Ai Chixiang walked in front, pushing and shoving the crowd all the way, shouting:
"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be plastered. Do you know how to write the word shame? You have ruined all the virtues of being a human being!"
Yuwen Qi said: "Seventh Master, they started beating with sticks."
Everyone came to the door, and Tang Peigong shouted loudly: "Ma Junyang, a shameless man who has done countless shameless things in his life..."
Tang Peigong began to list Ma Junyang's crimes.
Yuwen Qi said: "Seventh Master, they are pulling the pigtails again."
After explaining the charges, Tang Peigong said with a stern tone: "The shadow play genre is not orthodox in drama. Western tricks and silverware are used to entertain people with sound and color, which is the source of depravity!
Shameless people made such a shameless film. You didn't know the truth or what was going on, but you were willing to be poisoned by it. This really made Tang Mou feel very sad.
This theater has already been punished by Tang for showing this shameless movie. Now it refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. It should be completely destroyed to serve as a warning to others! "
Yu Wenqi said: "Seventh Master, this is the greatest secret skill of the Qing Shou Association. I'll give you a thumbs up.
Beating you with a stick, pulling your hair, and hating you. If you use these three skills, no matter how good your reputation is, you will be ruined. "
Xiaochuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "Today I want to see who is the stinker!"
Tang Peigong ordered action, and a group of disciples prepared to smash the theater.
Li Banfeng ordered: "Hit with a stick!"
When Tang Peigong arrived at the entrance of the cinema, his disciples raised their sticks and were about to start smashing, when an old woman in her seventies suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "What are you doing? Why are you beating my old lady?"
The old woman's face was covered with blood. Tang Peigong was stunned, and other disciples were also stunned.
Who hurt the old lady by mistake?
The old lady then cried and shouted: "Aren't you raised by humans? Don't you have a father or a mother? You beat me, an old lady, with your deadly hands. Are you not afraid of God's punishment? Are you not afraid of lightning? Are you not afraid that your ancestors will show up and take in the children raised by you bastards!" "
Tang Peigong's face turned purple after being scolded, and Ai Chixiang shouted angrily: "Shameless shrew..."
"Who do you call a bitch when you call me a bitch? At my age, you scold me when you open your mouth and hit me when you raise your hand. You are raised by yourself, what kind of bastards tricked you all!"
Ai Chixiang opened his mouth and couldn't speak. In front of the street woman, Ai Chixiang was too stupid to open his mouth.
In anger and embarrassment, Ai Chixiang couldn't hold himself any longer, grabbed the old woman's hair, gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you scolding?"
Li Banfeng ordered: "Pull the pigtails!"
A group of photographers emerged from the crowd and took a picture of Ai Chixiang pulling his hair.
The old woman's face was covered with blood and she was gnashing her teeth. She grabbed Ai Chixiang's wrist with one hand and fought with Ai Chixiang with the other hand.
Li Banfeng had people bring out the movie machines. Such a vivid scene must be used in the fourth part of "Blood Gun Detective".
Seeing people taking pictures around him, Tang Peigong shouted angrily: "Chi Xiang, stop, don't fall into the thieves' scheme!"
Ai Chixiang wanted to take his hand back, but found that his wrist was firmly clamped by the street woman.
Swearing a street woman can easily anger others, but others should not fight against a street woman.
This is not to respect the elderly, but most people can't beat the scolding street woman.
Not only was Ai Chixiang unable to move, but a strange force spread along his wrists and throughout his body. He was completely controlled by the scolding woman. In order to cooperate with the filming, the scolding woman also made him put on a ferocious expression, and Various movements including punching and slapping the face.
With these precious video materials, the second stage of "pulling the pigtails" has come to an end.
Unexpectedly, this scene aroused public outrage.
"You start beating the old lady, you bastards raised her!"
"Qing Shouhui, Qing's motherfuckers, they are all shameless bastards!"
"What's wrong with watching a movie? Beat these idiots!"
This is Black Rock Slope, not Bitch Hill.
The angry people of Heishipo started pushing and pushing Tang Peigong and his disciples.
Tang Peigong saw that the situation was not good and asked his disciples to escort him away quickly.
Among the disciples there were those with cultivation skills. They rushed to the front and were preparing to open the way.
Want to leave?
It's not that easy!
Li Banfeng ordered: "Hate!"
Xiao Genzi stood on the roof of the cinema, looking at the people downstairs with a stern expression.
A long ladle was lying in the air. Xiaochuanzi and others helped him hang the ten buckets neatly on the ladle.
Seeing the right moment, Xiao Genzi concentrated his thoughts, swung the ladle, and ten buckets fell from mid-air.
Tang Peigong was an astute man. He noticed something foreign in the air and quickly raised his head to take a look.
Poof!
A bucket was impaled on Tang Peigong's head.
The second level of Jin Xiu's skills brings fragrance to the world!
This bucket is really fragrant.
Without a specially prepared antidote, it cannot be washed away within half a year.
Tang Peigong took off the bucket, his face was covered with golden light, and his beard and hair were all yellow.
He wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit completely. There was too much in his mouth.
He looked for Ai Chixiang, who was still standing there with the bucket on his head.
Li Banfeng looked at Tang Peigong coldly: "What's the point of just gaining fame?"
Xiaochuanzi gritted his teeth and said: "Today we will stink him, stink him from the inside out!"
Xiao Genzi held a long spoon in his hand and shouted angrily: "Get another bucket!"
PS: If you want to defeat the evil people, you must be more evil than the evil people.
The evil person will scold us with tears in his eyes, and he will scold us anyway, so we must be cruel to him to the end.
