Chapter 50 Going Insane
The remaining snow is secretly dripping with the ice bamboo shoots, and the New Year sneaks back to the willow branches. 【】 Groups of young students in their prime say goodbye to the fleeting time and winter vacation. With the footsteps of spring, they return to the warm campus and the dormitory that they have not seen for a long time. , began their familiar yet fresh university life. The roommates greeted each other happily and shared interesting things during the holiday. For a while, the dormitory echoed with happy laughter. It suddenly broke the silence of a holiday on campus and made people feel It feels like the campus scene has become vivid.
The roommates were most proud of Zhao Xiaozhou, who enthusiastically recounted the blind date at home and solemnly announced to everyone: I have a girlfriend and a "wife". Liu Youcai was in a bad mood and was unhappy, and had a falling out with his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoqian at home. , was severely reprimanded and strongly condemned by both parents, and felt that what was gained was not cherished, and it was a pity when it was lost. Zhao Gang saw Wu Xiaojun not saying a word, just lying on his side on the bed, listening quietly, occasionally smiling, and asked, "Xiaojun, why are you silent all this time? Tell me if you have any good things going on. How are you and Qin Meixiang doing? To what extent have you developed? Let's share it with everyone."
Wu Xiaojun concealed his inner joy and deliberately said with a wry smile, "There is nothing to say, just longevity makeup, all the time and effort, the beauty is gone, the heart is helpless, the green hair is gone, the sweetheart is gone, the plum fragrance is gone, the remaining leaves are everywhere. Floating, sad and windy. The road of love is as long as iron, and it still needs to be traversed from the beginning." After hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.
As the class bell rang, the entire campus returned to its usual calm, and everything was moving forward step by step and in an orderly manner.
Wu Xiaojun thought about the plan for many days and was approved by the deputy squad leader Lu Jianmin. He was secretly happy. He observed it for three consecutive weekends and deliberately talked with some students to learn first-hand information. That afternoon, Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin followed the instructions they had already made. After preparing the report, I came to the External Relations Department of Pingxi Machinery Manufacturing Club and briefly explained the purpose of my visit. The receptionist, Minister Zhang, was very enthusiastic and asked about their thoughts in detail. He said honestly and frankly, "Your ideas are very good and your plans are very thorough." , I agree very much. Now is the era of market economy. The club's business is usually average, just showing some blockbuster films. Due to the high ticket prices, there are not many viewers. After consideration, the ministry intends to do some exploration. We might as well try to cooperate together first. , the specific details will be discussed after I communicate with the leaders of the department. Come over on Wednesday afternoon."
The two felt that the situation was good and were overjoyed. They repeatedly discussed the negotiation matters until they were well aware of and targeted. On Wednesday afternoon, the two met with Minister Zhang as scheduled. Minister Zhang first took out a pre-written contract text for them to read. Wu Xiaojun looked through it from front to back. The key point was the venue usage fee. The contract listed three time periods, Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night, with the amounts being 1,000 yuan, 800 yuan and 600 yuan respectively. After reading it, he said doubtfully, "Mr. Zhang, our first cooperation is just an experiment. There are many unknown factors. The price is indeed a bit too high. Can it be lowered?"
Minister Zhang said, "This is also determined based on our usual business income. It is definitely lower than our usual income. There is really no room for it to drop further."
Lu Jianmin said, "Minister Zhang, you may usually be a little higher, but there is a huge gap, and the labor costs and publicity costs are also high. These venue usage fees are purely except for electricity fees, sanitation fees and a small amount of video usage fees. It’s a net profit, and it’s a sure bet that you won’t lose anything. The room for decline is still quite large, so you can consider downgrading it to another level. I think 800 yuan, 700 yuan and 500 yuan are the most suitable.”
Wu Xiaojun said hesitantly, "We are all students. To be honest, if there were more funds, we would not be able to come up with so much funds at the same time. We would not dare to take this risk, let alone take it. But
We have made great determination and have been preparing for a long time, striving to accomplish this. In order for us to cooperate better in the future, we will follow what Jianmin said. If it succeeds and the effect is good, in the future
It’s okay to increase it further, isn’t it, Minister Zhang.”
Minister Zhang said helplessly, "Seeing that you two are quite sincere, let's do as you say. Let's sign the agreement today. Tomorrow morning you go to the Finance Department to pay, and then you can go to the film company to select movies."
After signing the agreement, the two left the club and discussed investment and subsequent matters in the Beijing Road Street Garden.
At eleven o'clock the next day, the two took the bus for nearly an hour and arrived at Pingxi Film Company. After more than half an hour of careful selection, they selected four movies starring the popular movie stars Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan, which college students are more attracted to.
"Who Will Fight", "Once Upon a Time in the World" and classic romance films "The Blue Bridge" and "Gone with the Wind". Next, after class in the afternoon, I prepared pens and ink and promotional paper, and wrote the poster in the dormitory. It took two days
For more than an hour, they wrote more than a hundred pieces of paper, which they posted all over the campus and surrounding streets and alleys overnight.
At noon the next day, I got my movie tickets back from the club. According to the pre-plan, the league secretary Xiang Meili and Zhang Yanchun went to the ticket window at 5 pm to sell tickets. Zhao Xiaozhou and Liu Xiaoxia went to the dormitories one by one to sell tickets, and the other boys in the two dormitories came from
Ticket inspection started at 6:30 in the evening. Before class in the afternoon, all the above-mentioned people were invited in advance. They were all very happy and readily agreed.
That night was a Friday, the weather was fine, and the planned ticket price was five yuan. Since the majority of the audience was college students, special care was taken. Anyone holding a "student ID card" would pay three yuan (one yuan higher than the two yuan for the school video).
At six o'clock, the ticket window was extremely busy, with crowds of people queuing up to buy tickets. Xiang Meili and Zhang Yanchun were overwhelmed and sweating profusely. By the time the movie officially started at seven o'clock in the evening, there were very few tickets left in hand.
The place was basically full. The first movie went smoothly and ended smoothly at 10:30 p.m.
After a final inventory, more than 2,800 yuan worth of tickets were sold. Excluding venue fees and the reward for a dozen helpers after the movie, more than 1,500 yuan was made in one night. The second day was also the same as the first day.
Almost the same. The two of them were ecstatic and excited to win the first battle. They didn't expect the money to be earned so easily and so quickly. They will definitely increase their publicity campaign next week and strive to expand the results.
For three consecutive weeks, a total of six movie performances were organized, and the two of them grabbed the first pot of gold and obtained a relatively considerable income. The matter quickly spread in the school, and after dinner on Monday of the fourth week, four or five people suddenly came over to arrest Wu Xiaojun.
He and Lu Jianmin were called to the small river outside the dormitory area. One of them was a tall boy with a full moon face, weighing more than 180 kilograms, with a loud voice, wide eyes, and walked straight away.
Said, "Boys, business was good some time ago. Brothers are a bit tight on money and haven't been able to have a drink for many days. Please help me temporarily, so that I can serve the hard-working widows and satisfy their cravings."
"
When Wu Xiaojun heard this, he thought that someone with pinkeye came to his door looking for trouble. It seemed that he was well prepared and would not give up until he achieved his goal. If he tried to be tough and reasonable with them, he would definitely suffer a loss. Let's explore first.
After checking their details, I met Lu Jianmin's eyes and said with a smile, "A few of you guys must be students from the same school. Can you sign up so that we can get to know each other and make friends?"
Friend. At the same time, if you have any shortcomings, please teach me and make sure you accept it with an open mind."
Next to the tall boy, a thin, fair-faced, sunken-eyed young man stepped forward, stared directly at the two of them and said, "It doesn't matter if you sign up. I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything. Remember, we are clinical nine."
The students in Class 2 and Class 3 are all from Wanhe. This is President Yan of our hometown association. Everyone in the school knows about it. I have no other reason to look for you because you don’t understand the rules and don’t ask for good things.
Chairman Yan, let me report. Chairman Yan is angry. Not only does he want you to spit out the meat in your mouth, but you are also not allowed to chew the bones in the future. Understand."
Lu Jianmin hurriedly answered, "President Yan, I have heard about it for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to meet, so I am disrespectful. However, it is a kind of fate that we can meet here today. I think it is not too late. We have a long time to come."
I would like to apologize to everyone, and hope that you can support and teach me more in the future. Today, let’s not talk about anything else. It’s the first time we meet. Let’s go to Juxian Pavilion to have a few drinks and get together and have fun. I think
President Yan and several brothers will not be disrespectful." After saying that, he invited a few people to the restaurant.
Chairman Yan rolled his eyes upwards, then looked at the people around him, narrowed his eyes and said without any pain, "Brothers, this classmate Lu has awakened quickly, what do you think?"
So, should I go or not." The others responded together, "If you don't go, it's free. If you don't go, it's free. If you don't eat, it's free. I will definitely go." "Then why are you hesitating? Let's go."
With that said, a group of people came to Juxian Pavilion, and everyone was lagging behind. Wu Xiaojun ordered two bottles of Gujing tribute wine, and about ten dishes of hot meat and vegetables. He changed cups and drank cups, and drank several people in a state of excitement. After three rounds of dishes,
, after the wine was over, Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin saw that they were almost done, and said, "President Yan, what do you think, can you forgive me for my brother's fault?"
Chairman Yan drunkenly said, "Both brothers performed well today. Very good. I am happy. I will definitely forgive you. Don't mind if I am a bit rough. This is a kind reminder to you and an education for you."
, it is a kind of care for you, please tell me, am I right?"
The two of them kept nodding and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remind you that you must pay more attention and learn more from me in the future."
Chairman Yan looked at the two of them with sideways eyes, his face turned red and his neck was thick. He picked up another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. His tongue was stiff and he stammered, "Brother, good job. I had a great time today. Brother, how are you?"
I forgive you both, but I can't teach you in vain. You must pay a thousand yuan tuition tomorrow, otherwise, you will have to spit out all your money and profits."
Wu Xiaojun hurriedly said, "Thank you, President Yan. Thank you to all my brothers for not arguing with me. I promise to honor it tomorrow. However, I am still a little uneasy. Will I completely forgive us if I honor it?"
The tall and thin man glared and said viciously, "Why are you pretending to be dumb and stupid? President Yan's words are so clear, don't you understand? President Yan is happy today, so he told you this. He would have told you this earlier in normal times."
You have already dealt with it, and you still dare to bargain here. I tell you, pay the tuition first, and then talk about anything else." When Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin heard this, they felt nervous, so they had to deal with them slowly. These people are really good.
I could drink, so I drank four bottles of liquor that night, and it wasn’t until about eleven o’clock that everyone left drunk.
At noon the next day, Wu Xiaojun and Lu Jianmin prepared the money, went to President Yan, handed the money into his hands, and then asked worriedly, "Brother Yan, my brothers are poor at home and can't afford to support them. There is nothing we can do for them."
I earned a small amount of money to supplement school expenses, but I had no choice but to arrange a movie package. Can you completely forgive me?"
Chairman Yan kept rubbing the banknotes in his hand, rolled his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and suddenly his face sank, making the two of them tremble. After a while of sinister laughter, he said sternly, "You guys really took the wrong medicine.
This small favor can win over my dignified president, it’s so disrespectful.”
