Chapter 526: Negotiation (4)

In the ensuing period, the exhibitions and concerts held by the time-traveler have always been the hottest topics in Shanghai, and the venues are almost full. Bayi ??? Chinese Net ? ?? Originally, the plan of the traveler was to arrange a visit every morning, the concert was performed by the choir live, two in the afternoon, and one in the evening, and the concert was replaced by a movie screening, so that it could be carried out four times a day, and it could accept about 5ooo audience, but this still could not meet the requirements of Shanghai residents.

The queue to receive tickets every day has to form a long queue, but because it is all free, and the real-name system of receiving tickets is implemented by the traverser, it puts an end to scalpers and special channels, and it is even more fair and notary for the traverser, and it has also won a good reputation from all sessions in Shanghai.

More than 60 percent of the visitors were students, not only from new-style schools, but also from old-school schools and private school students. And it is precisely because the students are young, energetic and passionate, so it is easier to be moved, seeing the pictures of the exhibition, they have praised the achievements of the traverser, and they are very excited, and when watching the concert, they are even more moved, and with the concert and produce different emotions, when hearing "My Chinese Heart", the heart fluctuates, and the "Song of the Seven Sons" makes many students cry and cry bitterly; [Heroic Hymn] makes the students emotionally high and enthusiastic; and [Ode to the Motherland] It made the students excited, and of course, after visiting the whole exhibition, the favorability and recognition of the traveler all increased significantly.

In addition, five or six days later, a large number of students and personnel from other places made a special trip to Shanghai to visit, and finally the travelers decided to use the rolling method to increase the number of performances per day to six, and the audience accepted every day exceeded 75oo people, so that although it could not fully meet the needs of the visit, it could also be greatly alleviated.

Seeing that the mood of the whole Shanghai was driven by the exhibition and music, the traverser naturally would not let go of this opportunity and launched the final public opinion offensive, first of all, the [New China News] continued to publish editorial articles, severely refuting some of the previous articles that smeared and derogatory the traverser, and at the same time fully testified for the traverser, and some newspapers in Shanghai also echoed and helped the traverser speak, and a large number of students who watched the exhibition and concert also waved their flags for the traverser. At this time, even if someone wanted to write an article accusing the traverser, the newspapers in Shanghai did not dare to express it, and even if it did, it would immediately attract a large number of verbal criticisms.

Of course, there was also a small episode in it: Dmitriev lodged a serious protest to the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession against the exhibitions held by overseas Chinese, believing that the exhibitions of overseas Chinese were a strong insult to all countries and a challenge to the dignity of all countries, so he demanded that the Ministry of Industry immediately prohibit the exhibition from continuing, and seal up Zhang Yuan, immediately arrest the organizers, and prosecute them in the concession court.

In fact, all countries understand the content of the exhibition held by overseas Chinese, although it is indeed a little uncomfortable, but the content of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and Austria is still within the tolerable range, after all, the war is indeed lost by themselves, and the exhibition of overseas Chinese only truthfully reflects this result, but there is no real insulting content, of course, except for Russia, and more importantly, this is the condition for overseas Chinese to accept the reopening of negotiations in Shanghai, so they can only endure it now.

Moreover, everyone knows that this proposal of the Russians is not a drunkard's intention to drink, because in the exhibitions held by overseas Chinese, the most humiliating thing is actually Russia, so the Ministry of Industry and Bureau very simply rejected the request of the Russians, and some people even ridiculed the Russians, suggesting that the Russians also hold an exhibition boasting of their achievements to insult the Chinese.

As a result, although Dmitriev roared like thunder, he was helpless, and after two days of calling, he also felt bored, so he could only stop fighting, and simply reported it to the country, because Dmitriev knew that Russia could not start another large-scale war in the Far East in a short period of time, so it was useless to report it to the country, and maybe the country would use himself as a scapegoat.

However, on the other hand, it also brought several unexpected things to the crossing group, first of all, the choir aroused great interest in Shanghai, because the concert itself is still an entertainment performance, and various countries have set up a large number of entertainment venues in Shanghai, so naturally they will not let go of such a popular and sensational choir, so there are many hotels and entertainment venues to find the traverser and invite the choir to perform there, and some hotels even offer a high appearance fee of 1ooo two silver. As a result, of course, he was rejected by the responsible group of the choir, saying that he would not participate in commercial performances when he came to Shanghai this time.

Seeing that the invitation failed, some restaurants retreated and asked the traveler for the scores of all the songs, so that their bands could play, but they were also rejected by the responsible team, only saying that they would announce it at the right time.

There are also people who are very interested in concert sound equipment and movie projection equipment, which may not seem a big surprise to the layman, but in the eyes of the insider, it is a great shock, because in fact, both of them are far ahead of the science and technology of this era, and only the insider can know what these two technologies mean.

In this era, there is no real amplification equipment, European opera and music performance completely rely on the voice of the actors, and the film can only be regarded as just beginning, not only colorless and silent, but also the picture is extremely unsmooth, not to mention others, so if you master these two technologies, you can be the king in the entertainment industry.

Although these demands were rejected by the responsible group, many new ideas were given to the responsible group: since the response to the concert was so good, it would be better to open an entertainment venue such as a nightclub in Shanghai, mainly for film screenings and cabaret performances.

Now there is a band in the Tianjin Lishunde Hotel to perform, and a cinema has been built, but at present, the cinema is mainly for the internal screening of the Crossing Group, of course, sometimes a few local people who have taken refuge in the Crossing Group, but there is no external operation, and the main reason is that the scale is too small, there is only one screening hall, and the audience that can accommodate only more than 1oo people, and there is no electricity, and now there is no power plant in Tianjin, and the electricity in the concession is all dependent on small motors. The main power of the crossing group is supported by a few solar panels removed from the passenger ro-ro ship, but with the expansion of the land of the crossing group, it is definitely not enough to rely on solar panels alone, so it is impossible for the film to operate externally.

On July 26, 1882, the Zhapu Road Electric Light Factory, which belonged to the Shanghai Dianguang Company, opened by British businessmen, began to use electricity, which was the first power plant in China's land with formal electricity, which was the predecessor of the Shanghai Electric Power Company. However, in 1888, the Shanghai Dianguang Company was reorganized into the Xinshen Electric Company. In 1893, it was purchased by the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau and changed to the Electrical Department. The president was the American He Qing, and at this time there were Feilun Road (now Jiulong Road) Power Plant and Yangshupu Power Plant, with an installed capacity of more than 120,000 kilowatts. Moreover, the electricity capacity has been continuously expanded, and it can not only supply electricity to the two concession areas, but also supply electricity to parts of the concession area. Therefore, in this era, Shanghai's electricity can basically be guaranteed.

The performers and programs are naturally ready-made, although the three bands of the group are not of high level in the old time and space, but they are still enough in this era, and the experience of stage performances, The routines are also very rich, as for the movie, it is easier, in addition to the projection equipment, there are a large number of film materials stored on the three passenger ro-ro ships, plus the personal collection of the traverser, at least the film screening within 1o years can be guaranteed, as for what to do after 1o years, it will be easier to replay it, because at least in the foreseeable future, it is impossible to shoot films that exceed all the technical levels of the traverser, and there is no way to steal them, and the traverser's films are all digital and have no film。 Therefore, if this plan can really be realized, then this nightclub similar entertainment venue can at least bring a huge amount of income to the crossing group.

Of course, in this way, not only can the status of *** in the administrative department be further enhanced, but also the status of the 7 people in the responsible team will also rise. It is extremely important to raise the status of the three original band captains in the responsible group, because this concert is a temporary event, and when they return to Tianjin, the choir will be disbanded, and the members will come from there and go back there, and Jiang Huanwu, Lin Mu, Zhang Yang, and Li Ying all have their own jobs, and it is nothing, but the three leaders of the original band will face the embarrassing situation of returning to Tianjin and being unemployed. But if the program can be approved, then not only will they not be unemployed, but they will also get a stable job.

So the responsibility team also decided that as soon as they returned to Tianjin, they would immediately report their proposal to ***, and asked *** to apply to the executive committee, and now they should start writing the project proposal and application report.

Although at this time, the attention of all sessions in Shanghai was focused on exhibitions and concerts, and the negotiations in Shanghai were almost completely ignored, but in fact, the negotiations in Shanghai were still going on steadily, and there was less attention from the outside world, and the negotiations were more relaxed and efficient.
