Chapter 617: Our Dance Hall
The song and dance hall in Ma Modu opened. The name is not Haima, but "we", our song and dance hall.
As soon as you hear the name, you know that Wang Yan's blending is indispensable.
In fact, apart from Nanyi, Wang Suo is the largest shareholder of our dance hall.
The original goal was to collect 200,000 yuan, but the implementation of the plan was not satisfactory. Later, Ma Modu went to Nanyi again, took 20,000 yuan from him again, and managed to raise 100,000 yuan in Sanlitun I found a place next to Xingfu Village and started to decorate it.
The only things worth mentioning in Sanlitun are the embassy area, Zhaolong Hotel, and the first bar in Beijing that is exclusively for the leisure and consumption of personnel stationed in the embassy area. The rest are just ordinary places.
"50,000 for you, 18,000 for me, and 32,000 for emotional and cultural people."
In the dance hall, Wang Yan said to Nan Yi who was studying where the 100,000 yuan was spent.
Now, for a few thousand dollars, you can still find a bad courtyard, and it’s easy to renovate and add a roof. If 100,000 yuan is used to buy a small courtyard and rebuild it, you can make a lot of money no matter what. Much better than throwing it in the water.
At this time, Nanyi was 100% sure that his 50,000 yuan had been thrown into the water, and he only hoped to let him hear it.
"There are a lot of people here, many of which I have never seen before." Nan Yi said, rubbing his fingers against the draft beer mug in his hand.
There are only three kinds of wine in our dance hall-beer, Erguotou, and Lafeng red wine.
Erguotou is only for our own people to drink, and we don't sell it to customers, because we are afraid that the customers will get drunk too quickly and make trouble too quickly.
Troubles are inevitable, and there is a very high possibility of doing something wrong with the first two sentences on the drink. As an operator, we can only hope that the guests will spend more before making troubles, so our dance hall mainly promotes beer.
"Hey, it's all acquaintances leading acquaintances, and I took them out of Bali, let alone you, I don't know most of the people here."
"Um."
Nan Yi responded, and continued to look at our dance hall.
There are only seven or eight tables in the dance hall. The tables and chairs should all be welded by the rolling mill.
A small stage was built on the east side, with a good set of speakers and some musical instruments. There is also a dance floor next to the stage, where more than a dozen people can squeeze into it and dance face-to-face. For a face-to-face dance, three or four steps are enough, let alone a ballroom dance.
On the west wall, there is an area where the wine counter and the cash register are connected together, and it is simply called the cash register.
There is a door next to the cash register leading to a small warehouse at the back, where there are boxes of beer, three or five boxes of Erguotou, seven or eight boxes of Lafeng red wine, and several coarse cotton bags containing dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts .
Nanyi still didn't see where the money was spent, he could only guess that it was spent on the stage and rent.
"Where is the man, where did you order him to go?"
"The weight has gone to the northeast. This meeting should be in the ice city. While the cold wind is blowing, he is eating red sausage there."
"Just for a red sausage is it worth a trip to Ice City?"
"There is also Zhengyanghe, which is also a brand of oil. We in Asia must have it."
"I remember that Bingcheng also has a beverage fermented with bread. What is it called? Why don't you want to bring that thing over here?" Wang Yan said.
"Qiulin Gevas, this thing is water, deadly. Do you know how much it costs to transport it from the ice city to the capital? The profit is thin, and not many people like to drink it, and by the way, it offended the Arctic Ocean. , can't do it."
Now local protectionism has begun to take shape. In addition to unified purchase and sales, there are locally produced things, and there is already resistance to foreign brands.
No matter how well this foreign brand sells, it won’t get any light from the local market. Taxes, employment, political performance have nothing to do with local money; instead, local companies will be squeezed out, and local taxation, employment, political performance It's all over.
When Asia introduced products, Nanyi paid great attention to avoiding this problem. For some products in the capital, if the sales volume is not large, we should avoid them. If the sales volume is large, we will focus on the Beijing brand in the future, at least on the surface. .
Among them, electrical appliances are an exception, and they don't have to worry about selling them at all. Asia will not be shy about this, and it will not be remembered.
Electrical appliances companies will inevitably take a roller coaster-like thorny road from being a boss to being treated equally, then kneeling, shuffling, and going bankrupt. Electric people will spend more time thinking about the past.
"Tsk, back then I was in charge of scheduling in the factory, and the drivers who came to pick up the goods had to stuff me with cigarettes if they wanted to pick up the goods early, not one or one pack, let me tell you two packs..."
"There are a lot of little kids." Wang Yan suddenly said again.
Nan Yi glanced in the direction of the dance floor, and found that there were several teenagers and girls who should be around the age of sixteen or seventeen dancing on the dance floor. The teenagers were smoking cigarettes and pretending to be chic.
Frowning, Nan Yi turned his head and said to Wang Yan: "What are the cultural people thinking about? Why did you put the little kid in there? You don't have a lot of money in your pocket. It doesn't matter if you fight."
"Who brought it? Among the people who came today, there are some rockers, some who talk about cross talk, and old guns. There are a lot of people. I just sit with you and don't want to move if I don't see me." Wang Yan lazily Said.
"oh."
Nan Yi leaned over and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table, and shared half of them with Gong Xue who was beside her.
Gong Xue was brought by Nanyi, not counted as him. Once a few commercials were filmed, Gong Xue naturally became familiar with the team behind the commercials. We had two dinners together, friends brought friends, and most of the capital That's how people in the film and television industry know each other.
The capital city is large, but the capital city is small. Although there are many people in the current literary and art circles, the relationship between people is not far away. The four are colleagues in the work unit, former co-workers, childhood \u0026 classmates, and mutual friends. The root link can bring everyone in the circle together.
Coupled with Gong Xue's status in the film industry, she made friends with every detail, and others were happy to get to know her.
The film and television industry in the 1980s was relatively pure, everyone received salaries, and the income level was not much different. Although the director and the protagonist had some privileges, the income was higher, but the workload was also greater, so that the supporting actors would not be envious. .
The interests today are not great enough to stir up the evil side of most people.
Only when 2% of the people eat 98% of the interests in the circle will the Pandora's box be opened, the relationship between people will become delicate, and the word "bottom line" will be infinitely closer with the peristalsis of the cecum dung gate.
"Can you help me buy all Qiong Yao's books." Gong Xue took the melon seeds, leaned close to Nanyi and said with her head tilted.
"You want to see?" Nan Yi asked in surprise.
Gong Xue asked back: "Have you seen "Female College Student Dormitory"?"
"Seen."
"This movie was made by Shanghai Film Factory. I know the director. She is going to make a TV series called "Moon Misty, Bird Misty". The original book was written by Qiong Yao;
Also, Suzhou TV Station is planning to make a "On the Water Side", the original book is also Qiong Yao's book. You asked me to keep an eye on the copyright last time, so I just wanted to check out her book. "
"I see. I will ask someone to buy the book for you. Don't worry too much about the copyright. Qiong Yao is not easy to deal with." Nan Yi also tilted his head and said.
"How do you know she's not easy to deal with?"
"Um?"
Gong Xue's rhetorical question made Nan Yi fall into thinking, "Yes, why do I think she is difficult to deal with? Do I know her? How did this preconceived idea come about?"
After a while, Nan Yi figured out how his own perception of Qiong Yao came about. It was not the result of his self-discrimination, but the public opinion implanted this image in his mind.
"If I didn't say what I said earlier, I'll ask someone to buy the book for you first. You can handle the copyright matters yourself. However, the book you bought is in traditional Chinese. Can you afford to read it?"
Gong Xue said: "It's okay, just look a little tired, connect the context, half-guess and half-confess, you can still understand it."
"Well, how is Che Xue doing?"
"Very good, the master told me that I can take the exam as soon as the time is up." Gong Xue showed a hint of joy.
At this time, the formal process of getting a driver's license is to first find a unit to be affiliated with, and then find an old driver of the unit [at least three years of formal driving experience] as a master, first learn mechanical movement and structure, main engine transmission to vehicle operation principle, circuit lighting And the motor starts the main engine, the principle of power generation and charging, etc. This process basically took three years to pass.
If the relationship with the master is handled well and the master is not stuck, the master will take the apprentice to the vehicle supervision office to get a registration form, fill it out, the master is the coach to sign and the unit will stamp it, return the registration form, and get a few After returning to this book for self-study, you can apply for the exam after half a year.
If you pass the test, you can't get a driver's license, and you have to practice for another year, and the master will sign and confirm that you are qualified before you can become an official driver.
In this process, the "master" runs through it all the time, which is enough to illustrate his importance. It can be said that whether a person can drive is the master's final say. The master thinks that he can't drive, even if he can drive.
Gong Xue skipped the maintenance course and started directly from touching the steering wheel, but it would take her at least half a year to get the internship qualification, and a year and a half to get the driver's license.
"It's not that your master has relaxed his requirements on you, right?"
"No, I drive very well." Gong Xue said angrily.
"Okay, as long as you say yes."
As Nanyi said, he waved to a waiter beside the cash register.
"Is there hot water?"
"have."
"Bring two cups of tea."
"Hold on."
"Is the waiter from a foreign country?" Nan Yi heard that the waiter spoke with a foreign accent, so he turned to ask Wang Yan.
"The one just now came from another place. Her name is still very interesting. Guess what it's called." Wang Yan said with a playful and somewhat ambiguous expression.
Seeing the mean smile on Wang Yan's face, Nan Yi knew exactly which direction to guess, "The one just now looked like he came from the countryside. It's unlikely to be called Manna, is it called Huang Yonghong?"
"Ha, Nan Batian, I knew that you are usually prudish, awesome, you guessed it right."
"You still need to guess, her name is written on your face, is she still hiding the manuscript at home? If yes, tell my buddies so that I can tell Lei Zi, if Lei Zi is happy, he can't make it out." I have a pennant."
"Fart, Lei Zi doesn't care about this now, if you tell Lei Zi, you might as well tell the school teacher that it will work." Wang Yan spat.
Nan Yi exclaimed: "Ah! When did Lei Zi not care about it now?"
"I don't care about it, it's a big deal."
"That's such a pity. Back then, I was stopped by Lei Zi on the way to search our military bag. At that time, I was carrying a manuscript on my body. How dare I let them search it. No, I had an idea and turned my head to the nearby Jishuitan One swooped in, and one plunged into the water, and pressed the manuscript under a rock at the bottom of the water, alas, that time, I was almost drowned."
"Is that the case? Why didn't I know?"
"Nonsense, I don't even think about the relationship between you and me at that time. I remember that day was the second day I opened the scoop for you. I said Wang Hooligan. Could it be you who ordered me?"
"Fart, buddy is that kind of person, you have offended so many people, who knows who ordered you." Wang Yan strongly denied.
"No, no, what a guilty conscience."
Nan Yi and Wang Yan were teasing, blocking the noise of the dance hall from the small table.
On the stage, Lao Cui passionately sang "Careless Whisper" by the Whammy Band.
In April, the mighty band held the concert "There is a day beyond the sky - mighty in Huaguo" in Gongti. The old rockers in the capital went as much as they could. In their words, "that scene will never be forgotten , the audience were all dumbfounded."
That day, Nanyi also went, and he took a free ticket from the unit. How could he miss this kind of cheap thing.
You must know that although the tickets were priced at five yuan a piece at that time, which young man would not want to join in the fun of such a rare event, the ticket was fired to forty yuan; besides, you can get a souvenir ticket and a cassette tape , the front is the original song by the Whammed Band, and the back is Cheng Fangyuan's Chinese cover.
No, as soon as the mighty came, there was a mighty wind in the capital, and some old rockers still kept George's head [George Michael].
"Old Cui is here to sing?"
"Well, Xiao Cui sang something like that, and the asking price was not high, so the old horse called someone over. It's just that there is something wrong with it. They are all foreigners' songs, and they don't order their own things."
"There is always a process. When the understanding of music deepens, you will naturally be able to create your own works."
Nanyi remembers that "Nothing" should be a matter of the past two years. Rock music first became an original style, and then pop music gradually developed its own works, and it is no longer blindly borrowed.
"Fuck, where are you?"
"You don't care about me, looking for trouble, right?"
boom!
Suddenly, two groups of people on the dance floor said a word to each other, and before the second sentence came out, one of the group kicked the other person, and then, the two groups became entangled.
Nan Yi turned his head and looked over, it was the group of teenagers he had noticed just now. Sure enough, the younger he was, the less important it was to start a fight. If the old guns were replaced, the fight might not be possible.
"Fuck, smash the buddy's place."
When Wang Yan saw the dance floor was getting dry, his anger immediately surged, and the sense of responsibility of the major shareholder was born spontaneously. He grabbed the beer bottle on the table and rushed towards the dance floor.
"Come back, look at your short legs, don't be opened by the brat, tiger cub, deal with it, just pull people away."
"yes."
