Return To 1977 Chapter 296: Retreat to advance

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

The banquet place for "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" is on the second floor of the "Day and Night Dining Hall" in Qianmen, "Bacha"'s old place.

To be honest, it was indeed their instigation that my subordinates went to Qianmen and Tianqiao cinemas to test it out. Facing such a sumptuous piece of cake, keeping them from being tempted is simply harder than training a lion not to eat meat.

But they have dealt with Hong Yanwu so many times, and they have never taken advantage of him once. He really didn’t have any extravagant hopes, and wanted to pull all the movie theaters out of his mouth.

Generally speaking, I just want to use this to express dissatisfaction, put some pressure on Hong Yanwu to negotiate, and share part of the territory.

But even this calculation failed.

The "big copy" that fell from the sky completely ruined their little ideas. Not only did they get three people in at once, they also hid here and there for a while, for fear of being "spotted" by someone and trying to make up for it. That is to say, the news passed after the holiday, and then it dared to reappear.

But at this moment, their strength was greatly reduced, and they had neither the confidence nor the ability to put pressure on Hong Yanwu anymore.

And immediately afterwards, the story of "Heng Liu'er" spread again in the world. This made them even more frightened, fearing that Hong Yanwu would add insult to injury and give them a "brave act for justice", and then destroy their foundation.

So lowering one's stature and seeking compromises became the most rational and only choice.

Of course, in their opinion, Hong Yanwu would definitely not give up because of his temperament, and he would definitely not give up unless he squeezed them into the cracks in the ground.

They were all prepared to "vomit blood" and planned to ask a few subordinates to apologize to Hong Yanwu. If it doesn't work, you can even use a "bitter trick" to make the people slap you in the mouth. I just hope that Hong Yanwu can relieve his anger, recuperate and live in peace.

Embarrassed? Shame is inevitable. Who made me commit corruption in the first place?

Besides, aren’t all the “old men” already giving in? They are all “veteran warriors”. Of course, the more they get involved, the more they understand the principle of “keeping the green hills there, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood”.

If you have a chance in the future, wouldn’t you bite him and come back? After all, who has the last laugh is the most important.

So, with this idea in mind, the "Bacha" and the "small landowner" were actually cautious and prepared for the host this time.

But after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan arrived at the appointment on time, "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" were no less surprised than Hong Yanwu who knelt down and gave in when he saw "Vise".

What's wrong?

It turns out that the actual situation is completely different from what they expected. It can be said that Hong Yanwu was uncharacteristically not so easy to talk to.

From the moment he walked in, this guy's attitude was quite polite. Not only did he have no intention of pursuing him, he even said that his people would voluntarily withdraw from Zhushikou Film Theater, Zhonghua Cinema, Daguanlou Cinema and Tianqiao Theater. Let all four places be run by "Bacha" and "small landowners".

This immediately confused "Bacha" and "Little Landlord". Their subconscious reaction was that either Hong Yanwu was sarcastic, or he was holding back to plot something against them.

They didn't dare to agree at all. Instead, they filled Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's glasses with extra care, and toasted with laughter. Then he started to talk softly, hoping that Hong Yanwu would be happy and speak out his thoughts directly instead of hiding them.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was really different from what they imagined.

After Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan drank, they not only ate and ate without any courtesy. Hong Yanwu also gave them another sentence seemingly frankly.

"Don't be so suspicious, I'm doing this purely because I want to discuss cooperation with you!"

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" were even more confused.

But who would have thought that Hong Yanwu would stop talking about it here and actually sell it out.

"As for the specific conditions, we will discuss them at the beginning of next month. Your people will work for a few days. Once you understand the market inside, it will not be too late for us to discuss..."

Well, up to this point, Hong Yanwu has only talked about casual things and never talked about serious matters.

But he also repeatedly promised that he was definitely not holding it back and could hand over tomorrow. He even said that if that didn't work, he could invite people like "Xiao Leizi", "Dail", and "Yao Zi" to come and be witnesses.

In this way, "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" began to believe in Hong Yanwu's sincerity.

However, after the banquet ended, the two of them still thought about it more and more, and they felt that something was strange, so they came up with another idea about this matter.

You can't blame them for being suspicious, the key is that it's illogical.

In the first few days, Hong Yanwu was extremely cruel to others for such a trivial matter. How come they committed such a taboo and lost such a big benefit?

You want to say that this kid is afraid of them? How is it possible!

Could it be that he is trying to trick someone else, fearing a two-pronged fight? I haven’t heard any news!

What's more, it sounds nice, but can we really cooperate?

There are just four theaters, if they want to hang out together, there will be no disputes. Whoever sells one more ticket will have to sell one less ticket. Cooperation? is it possible?

In short, "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" spent an hour together. In addition to consuming a pot of tea and going to the latrine, all that was left was smoke. However, no one figured out what Hong Yanwu had hidden behind his back. What are you wearing?

In the end, they only made one decision, which was to send someone to the cinema the next day to accept the deal and see if Hong Yanwu could keep his promise.

Anyway, this seems to be an advantageous thing and cannot be extrapolated. As for the back, then be more careful and take it one step at a time...

Don't even look at "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" who are feeling anxious and uneasy. When I have nothing to do, I just wonder whether it is a blessing or a curse, which makes me very nervous.

In fact, after Hong Yanwu returned, he didn't have to relax. It took a lot of effort to convince the "sub-rulers" of those theaters.

"Xiao Baizi" of "Tianqiao Theater" can obey without a word, but "Xiao Sheng'er" of "Zhonghua Cinema", "Xiao Shunzi" of "Zhushikou Theater", and "Daguanlou Cinema" The "Three Bouncers" won't work. The three of them are very resistant and can't understand no matter what they say.

Although Hong Yanwu said that he would only give in temporarily for twenty days, and even though he said, "Today we take big steps back in order to take big steps forward tomorrow," these three guys couldn't listen at all, and asking them to retreat was like killing them. of. They must make a fuss to gather manpower and defend the territory to the death.

In the end, Hong Yanwu became anxious, slapped the table, glared, and said, "Is it me who is in charge, or are you in charge? If you want to rebel, use a knife to speak." These three boys were considered more honest.

But let alone the feeling of grievance, I kind of wanted to kill Yiming Xinzhi in front of him. They looked like three strong-minded ministers who were focused on their own.

Hong Yanwu's heart softened, so he had to give them some peace of mind.

"Okay, I know you have put a lot of effort into your own land. But let me tell you, next month not only will we take back these four theaters, but we will also have at least twice as much land. Do you believe it or not? ?"

When the three boys "Xiao Sheng'er", "Xiao Shunzi" and "San Bengzi" heard this, they almost jumped up.

"Master Hong, you...are you kidding..."

"Master Hong, I...I heard you right..."

"Master Hong, you don't want us to play cymbals..."

"Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, let's make a bet. I and Quanzi's monthly income will bet against the monthly income of the three of you. Isn't this bullying you?"

Well, once Hong Yanwu said this, these three boys were stuck.

They are not stupid either. With such asymmetrical conditions, there are problems no matter how you think about it.

What's more, they all know what this man is capable of. Not to mention being able to fight and kill in the past, but now the ability to "turn stone into gold" is simply unbelievable.

Look, a little movie ticket turned out to be a gold mine for him. Ask yourself, how can they be dissatisfied? Who dares to dissent?

Just like that, the hair of the three boys was completely smoothed down. But the new trouble is that they always want to find out. He pestered Hong Yanwu to reveal more inside information.

Of course Hong Yanwu will not pierce this layer of window paper, but from the tasks assigned to them, we can guess something.

First, Hong Yanwu asked these four boys to count the residences of his brothers as soon as possible, and at the same time make a list of those who had done outstanding work and were qualified for promotion. This article also targets the other four theaters.

Second, this is the unique mission of these four boys. That is, during most of the months of evacuation, the "salaries" of these four groups were paid as usual, and the "dividends" and "bonuses" were the same as elsewhere, and there was no need to go elsewhere to help. But they need to have a thorough understanding of the situation of movie theaters in Xicheng and Dongcheng.

And unlike last time, the information to be explored not only includes the location of the theater, the internal seating plan, and the situation of the ticket seller, but more importantly, it is necessary to find out whether any of the "players" in Beicheng have taken the tickets.

If so, who is taking the votes, within whose sphere of influence, and on what scale.

Speaking of this, even if "Xiaobaizi", "Xiaosheng'er", "Xiaoshunzi" and "Sanbengzi" still can't figure out how Hong Yanwu will perform this trick, one thing is understood. . Their "handle" finally lived up to expectations and was about to reach out to the north.

But this...appetite is a bit too much.

Because the theaters in Beicheng are not only concentrated in the downtown area, but most of them are also adjacent to Chang'an Avenue, the junction of the North and South cities. Such as Wangfujing, Dongdan, Xidan.

It can be said that it is the best ground in the capital, and the profits are huge, far from being comparable to that in Nancheng. Not to mention bus lines such as "Dalu", even if they are "gnawing at the ground", they can eat enough.

In other words, the characters who can occupy these areas are not easy to mess with, just like the characters who can occupy the train station in the south, who are not rolling over with swords and guns. Otherwise, the "handle" in the south would have been conquered long ago, and others in the north would come to seize the territory.

Now Mr. Hong wants to see the situation in all theaters. This is more than doubled. Can he really swallow it?

The four boys looked at each other, thinking of the recruitment that had not stopped for a while, they felt both inexplicable excitement and uncertainty.

I always have a premonition that a bomb is going to explode...
