Return To 1977 Chapter 297: Settling accounts

On May 9, Hong Yanwu fully fulfilled his agreement. His people evacuated all four theaters in the Qianmen and Tianqiao areas, leaving no one behind. The four "gold mines" were completely handed over to the hands of "Bacha" and "small landowners".
The news of this incident spread throughout Nancheng within two days. It surprised almost all the "players".
However, basically no one believed that this was Hong Yanwu's initiative.
Who could be so stupid, don't want a lot of money, but put it into other people's hands?
So soon, various speculations began to spread.
There are rumors that the "Bacha" and the "little landlord" pinched Hong Yanwu's pigtails, enough to make the boy "eat black dates". There is also news that "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the control rights of four theaters from Hong Yanwu.
Some people even said that it was "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" who took the initiative for "Heng Liu'er", forcing Hong Yanwu to use four theaters to please and apologize in order to get rid of pursuit and revenge.
Of course, no one believes this one either.
Because as everyone knows, Hong Yanwu was shocked five times at the beginning. The two defeated generals, "Bacha" and "Little Landlord", had so many people and strength that they could not take advantage of them. Now that the "big raid" has just passed, how can they have such great abilities?
What's more, I didn't see any expression from "Bacha" and "Little Landlord", if they really showed their faces like this. These two guys have been hanging around and bragging about themselves for a long time. Why do the two of them seem to be more cautious recently and seem to be a bit invisible?
Besides, Hong Yanwu’s people are still selling tickets in the other four theaters with great arrogance, and they don’t seem to be depressed at all.
Someone made fun of Zeng, but the other party didn't even bother to explain it, and just smiled scornfully. As a result, the owner, who spoke sarcastically, became more and more irritated the more he thought about it.
In short, the news is messy and there are different opinions, but all the signs are not that true. In the end, no one understands what is going on here.
It seems that the only reasonable explanation is that Hong Yanwu took the wrong medicine...
However, it must be said that Jiang is still very old and very different from others. The "old ghost" can see some of Hong Yanwu's skills at a glance.
When "Xiao Leizi" told him about this, he not only immediately believed that Hong Yanwu had taken the initiative to give in, but also praised him.
"Okay, Red Boy's approach has changed. He has learned how to do Tai Chi. Using the gentle breeze and drizzle to subdue others is a level higher than the fierce pursuit and fierce attack in the past."
After speaking, he looked at "Xiao Leizi" and sighed. Apparently he thinks that his "successor" seems to be "falling behind" again.
Of course "Xiao Leizi" was not convinced.
"Brother, you are talking about the principle of 'if you want to take something, you must first give it to it'. But I don't understand. He will not 'eat the Buddha's offerings' again, and he can still miss the 'eight forks' and What's a 'small landowner'? What's more, if you hand over your land, can you get it back?"
"Why can't you take it back? Don't say that the 'big raid' has just passed, it just didn't happen. Do you think that if we really talk about 'fighting', 'Bacha' and 'Little Landlord' will be his opponents? I I can tell you that this is not a close fight in any way."
The "Old Ghost" said this and pondered again.
"As for what he is thinking about, I don't know. But in this situation, he can still do this, and it will be damned if there is no extra content..."
"Brother, do you think too highly of him? You see, he and 'Chen Da Bangchui' are both looking for jobs now, and they have repeatedly told us that the situation in the future will be severe and 'Leizi' will become more and more serious. The harder it is to deal with. Could it be that he just wants stability and wants to have a peaceful life?"
"Huh, if he really wants to live a happy life, he will definitely not stand in your way. But that may not be the case if he only wants stability..."
The "old ghost" concluded without hesitation, changed the subject, and asked "Xiao Leizi" one question after another.
"Let me ask you, this guy has never stopped recruiting troops, right? He has more than sixty people under his command now, would he take the initiative to give up half of his country? Besides, he has never stopped recruiting troops for you. Xiang? Do you think he needs to withdraw from those four cinemas if he takes the medicine and gives it to Bacha and Little Landlord?"
"Xiao Leizi" was stunned by the question and bowed his head in silence for a while.
The "old ghost" waited for a while, and when he saw "Xiao Leizi" looked ashamed, he couldn't bear to scold him. However, he still asked the last sentence.
"Tell me the truth, have you ever thought about taking back the Caishikou Cinema and build it yourself?"
"Xiao Leizi" hummed, but then said it again.
"But when I thought about it later, it was not worth it for both reason and profit. We already owed Red Boy a lot of favors. When they asked me for the land, I said they didn't need to pay. But he pays me back every month, and the more he pays, the more he pays. Besides, I still don’t understand how he managed to get the money. The most expensive movie ticket is only 2 cents, and he gave me 2 cents last month. Thousands, even if we double the price for takeout, I would still have to sell 10,000 tickets. I really don’t have the confidence to do it myself..."
The "Old Ghost" looked tense at first and then relaxed, and finally nodded after hearing this.
"Humph, you are good at arithmetic. You are not wrong about this. In fact, it is not me who praises 'Red Boy'. If he really earned this money by himself and did not add it specially to please you, it is really You are very capable. This is no longer the 'Tao'er' in our circle. After all, you are a sensible person, but the 'Bacha' and the 'Little Landlord' haven't settled this account yet..."
When "Xiao Leizi" heard this, his eyes finally lit up and he couldn't help blurting out.
"I kind of understand, you mean he has..."
The "Old Ghost" immediately waved his hand.
"Needless to say, I am also speculating now. We will wait and see the show. Your biggest problem is that you are too young and can't hold your breath. Remember, don't be hasty in anything you do in the future, especially when there is no risk. It's better to wait for the day when the truth comes out. When things are clear, you'll know what to do..."
It should be said that the "old ghost" is indeed very insightful, and he can basically predict what will happen next.
Soon, Hong Yanwu not only paid a visit in person, but also took the initiative to reveal his plan to "Old Ghost" and "Xiao Leizi", and happily negotiated a "big business" with them.
And on the other hand, the "eight forks" and "small landlords" have also been educated and understood by reality.
"There are **** foreign devils! This account is wrong!"
"You **** must be playing tricks again. Honestly, how **** bad are you?"
In "Bashi"'s lair, "Bashi" and "Little Landlord" slapped the table and glared at their cronies who were in charge of the cinema.
Twenty days have passed and it’s time to pay the monthly accounts. They were also afraid that their subordinates might be up to something, so they deliberately brought the two families together to reconcile the accounts. Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for in high spirits was an extremely disappointing result, which made them almost vomit blood from their noses.
The people at the four cinemas each only paid 200 yuan, but they handed over a total of 800 yuan. This is just enough money for two teams of people to "deliver goods", so they lost half of it.
But it's useless for them to get angry. The people under their command are even more resentful.
"Donkey Kong" has a sad face.
"Ba Ye, this is not bad. You don't know that half of the tickets you got in the first week were lost in your hands. You didn't make any money and even lost a little. After that, you only got half of the tickets. That's it." Seeing the profit. To be honest, brothers also have to eat and drink. In fact, each family only has less than two hundred, and we pay the rest ourselves according to the rules..."
The "Three King Kongs" followed suit.
"That's right. Mr. Ba, we are playing with knives, not playing with words. This is not what we men do. These movie tickets can't be sold if the price is too high, and they can't be sold without a smiling face. . For the same movie, if you get too many tickets, sometimes you’ll lose money, and if you get too few, you’ll end up losing money. It’s really annoying. You might as well replace me. Come on, whoever you love will come..."
The "rampant" subordinates of the "little landlords" also took advantage of the situation to knock on the gong.
"Brother, what they said is right. What's the point of this shit? Could it be faster if we just pay for it? It's hard enough for everyone to live in the sun. You said it is possible? People also love to shout loudly. When brothers get angry, slap them twice. Well, the workers’ militia will come. Don’t sell the tickets. Can you rely on us if you are tied up..."
"Little Landlord"'s other subordinate, "Big Dragon", sighed even more.
"Don't say anything else. Let's talk about the most practical thing. This job is not as good as "catching points". Once the "goods" are "laid", they can be "passed on". Although we are all innocent , but the people below must have something to gain. Because they wander around the place, they will always hide part of the money from the tickets sold, but they will get back all the tickets that cannot be sold. To put it bluntly, no matter how much money they make, they can't stand it. We are a den of thieves. I don’t have eight eyes, so I can’t see it. If this continues, I will tell you that you were really wrong. Two heads are gone..."
"Shut the **** up! Why are you talking about so much useless stuff!"
Without any warning, this last sentence suddenly made the "little landowner" furious, and he slapped him on the spot, which immediately stunned the "big dragon".
In fact, it’s no wonder. Not seeing the money is enough to be heartwarming. What’s more, “Big Dragon” also brought up things that would embarrass the “little landowner”!
I dare to imagine that at the beginning, after being "tricked" by Hong Yanwu, the "two heads" went to the "small landlord" to protect themselves. The price they paid was to hand over a "train ticket" guarding the "ticket office" Ways to make money.
But because the "little landowner" was worried about the "second boss", he sent a team of people to "assist" him. As a result, he couldn't pay the money every month. When he asked the "second boss" again, the answer he got was "the small landowner." The people stole the ticket money.
The "little landowner" didn't believe it, and in anger, he kicked out the "two heads" and his gang. Looking at it now, it seems that he really made a mistake.
But what will happen if "Dalong" mentions this matter? This is tantamount to slapping him in the face, and it won't help.
Well, since you dare to say this "fair words", you will definitely become the target of his anger.
But on the other hand. "Big Dragon" can really be called "sacrifice oneself for others" and saved everyone's trouble.
After his face became swollen, and because everyone looked sad, "Bashi" and "Little Landlord" no longer wanted to pursue the matter further, so they waved and let them go.
After some discussion, the two "bozis" finally figured out a truth, that is, "there are specialties in the profession."
It really depends on who will do the work. In every profession, there are people who eat meat, and there must be people who drink soup.
Anyway, it was a huge loss for them to "sell movie tickets". Not only could they not keep up with the harvest of "normal business", but they also caused complaints from the people below. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business.
Damn it! But how did that kid Hong Yanwu do this trick?
How come he can only make a small amount of money from his treasure that "makes money every day"?
This is something that "Bacha" and "Little Landlord" couldn't figure out for a long time. And by the time they really understood it, Hong Yanwu would have already done something else.
The same thing is that Hong Yanwu will still have new tricks to dazzle them.
