Chapter 56 Retreat as Advance

The banquet place of "Eight Forks" and "Little Landlords" is on the second floor of the "Day and Night Canteen" at Qianmen, the old territory of "Eight Forks".

To tell the truth, the people under their command went to the front door and a few movie theaters on the flyover to try out, and they were indeed instructed by them. In the face of such a rich piece of cake, it is even more difficult to keep them unmoved than to train a lion not to eat meat.

But they have dealt with Hong Yanwu so many times, so they haven't taken advantage of it once. really didn't have any extravagant hopes, wanting to pull a few movie theaters out of his mouth.

In general, he just wants to express his dissatisfaction and put some pressure on Hong Yanwu to negotiate and share part of the territory.

But even this calculation did not succeed.

The "big plagiarism" that fell from the sky completely bankrupted their careful thinking. Not to mention the three adult hands that "folded" in, they themselves hid in Tibet for a while, for fear that someone would "order" them, and then they would make up for it. That is, after the holiday, the rumors have passed, and only then do they dare to resurface.

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

And immediately after, there was another rumor of "Hengliuer" on the rivers and lakes. This made them even more frightened, for fear that Hong Yanwu would fall into the ground, regardless of giving them a "righteous and courageous act", and then destroying their foundation.

So lowering the frame and compromising has become the only rational choice.

Of course, in their opinion, with Hong Yanwu's temperament, he will definitely not give up, or if he squeezes them into the cracks of the ground, he will definitely not give up.

They were all ready to "vomit blood", and they also planned to let a few of their subordinates make amends to Hong Yanwu. No, you can even make a "bitter meat trick" and let the people under you smoke their own big mouths. I just want Hong Yanwu to be relieved, and just change to rest and recuperate, and be safe.

Shame is inevitable, who let himself be greedy in the first place.

Besides, don't all the "old soldiers" admit it, they are all "old soldiers", of course, the more they mix, the more they understand the truth of "stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood".

If you have the opportunity in the future, won't you come back with a bite of him? After all, who can have the last laugh is the most important thing.

Therefore, with this kind of thinking in mind, the "Eight Forks" and the "small landlords" actually trembled and waited for the battle this time.

But after Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan went to the appointment on time, the "eight forks" and the "small landlords" felt no less surprised than Hong Yanwu knelt down to admit when he saw the "vices".

What's wrong?

It turned out that the actual situation was completely different from what they expected. Hong Yanwu can be said to be abnormal, he has never spoken so well.

From the moment he entered the door, this kid's attitude was quite polite, not only did he not have the slightest intention of pursuing it, but even said that his people would take the initiative to withdraw from the Zhushikou Movie Theater, China Cinema, Daguanlou Cinema and Tianqiao Theater. All four places were given to the "Eight Forks" and "Small Landlords" to operate.

This stunned the "Eight Forks" and the "Little Landlord", and the subconscious reaction of the two of them was either Hong Yanwu talking back, or holding back what they were calculating.

They didn't dare to admit it at all, but they were more careful to fill Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan with wine, and toasted with a smile. Then he began to say soft words, hoping that Hong Yanwu would be happy, and if he had any thoughts, he would say them directly, and don't hide them.

But they didn't expect things to develop, and it was really different from what they imagined.

After Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan drank wine, they not only ate unceremoniously and munched. Hong Yanwu also seemed to give them another sentence openly.

"Don't be so suspicious, I'm doing this purely to talk about cooperation with you!"

"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" "Eight forks" and "small landlords" are even more confused.

But who would have thought that Hong Yanwu wouldn't say anything here, and he actually sold it.

"The specific conditions, let's talk about it at the beginning of next month, and your people will work for a few days first. When you get to know the market, it's not too late for us to talk......"

Yes, so far, Hong Yanwu will only talk about idle words, and will not talk about serious things.

But he also repeatedly promised that he was absolutely not suffocated, and he could do the handover tomorrow. even said that if it doesn't work, you can also invite characters such as "Little Leizi", "Nail", and "Yaozi" to be a witness.

In this way, the "eight forks" and "small landlords" also believe in Hong Yanwu's sincerity a little.

However, until the banquet dispersed, the more they thought about it, the more strange they felt, and they had a good idea of it.

They can't be blamed for being suspicious, the point is that it's not logical.

In the first few days, Hong Yanwu was extremely ruthless in dealing with others, why did they commit such a big taboo, but they lost such a big benefit?

To say that this kid is afraid of them?

Could it be that he stabbed another basket, afraid of fighting at both ends? I haven't heard any news!

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

Just like that, if the four theaters want to mix together, there will be no disputes. Whoever sells more tickets, the other party has to sell less, is it possible to cooperate?

In short, the "Eight Forks" and the "Little Landlord" were together for an hour, except for eliminating a pot of tea, each going to a thatched house, and only smoke was left, but no one figured out what Hong Yanwu was hiding behind it.

In the end, they only settled on one thing, that is, to send someone to the cinema the next day to accept the deal, and see if Hong Yanwu could do what he said.

Anyway, this is a cheap thing on the surface, and it can't be pushed out. As for the back, then be more careful and take one step at a time......

Don't look at the "eight forks" and the "small landlords" playing drums in their hearts, and they are uneasy. It's okay to think about whether it's a blessing or a curse, and it makes me highly nervous.

In fact, after Hong Yanwu went back, he didn't have an easy time. It took a lot of effort to subdue the "rudder master" of those theaters.

The "Little Baizi" of the "Tianqiao Theater" can obey without saying a word, but the "Xiao Sheng'er" of the "China Cinema", the "Xiao Shunzi" of the Zhushikou Cinema, and the "Three Jumpers" of the Daguanlou Cinema are not.

Although Hong Yanwu said that he was only temporarily retreating for more than 20 days, although he said that "today's big stride back is just to make great strides forward tomorrow", this kid couldn't listen to it at all, and letting them retreat was like asking for their lives. You have to gather people and swear to defend the territory to the death.

In the end, Hong Yanwu was anxious, slapped the table and glared, and threw out a sentence, "Is Lao Tzu in charge, or are you in charge?" If you want to rebel and talk with a knife", this kid can be honest.

But don't mention that grievance, I can't wait to kill Yi Ming's ambition in the court, and I look like I'm the iron-clad minister who is single-minded.

Hong Yanwu's heart softened, so he had to give them some breath.

"Well, I know you've put a lot of effort into your own land. But let me give you a word, next month, we will not only take back these four theaters, but at least double the territory, believe it or not?"

"Xiao Sheng'er", "Xiao Shunzi", and "Three Jumpers" were almost not jumping up when they heard this.

"Master Hong, you ...... You're not kidding......"

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

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

"If you don't accept it, let's bet it, Izumi and I have a month's income, and I bet on your income for a month, this is not bullying you, right?"

Yes, once Hong Yanwu threw out this sentence, this kid would be stuck.

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

What's more, they all know this master's ability. In the past, I didn't say that I could fight and kill, but now the ability to "turn stones into gold" is simply incredible.

Look, a little movie ticket actually made him play with a gold mine. Ask yourself, where can they disagree? Who dares to disagree?

That's it, the boy's hair was completely smoothed out. But the new trouble is that they always want to find out. 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, one or two can be guessed.

First, it was Hong Yanwu who asked these four boys to count the residences of their brothers as soon as possible, and at the same time make a list of those who have done a good job and are qualified for promotion. This one is also for the other four theaters.

Second, it's the only task for these four boys. That is, during most of the months of the evacuation, the "salaries" of these four groups of people were still paid, and the "dividends" and "bonuses" were the same as elsewhere, and there was no need to help elsewhere. But they need to find out the situation of movie theaters in the two urban areas of Xicheng and Dongcheng.

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

If so, who is eating tickets, in whose sphere of influence, and on what scale.

Speaking of which, even if "Little Baizi", "Little Sheng'er", "Little Shunzi", and "Three Jumpers" still can't figure out how Hong Yanwu will change this trick, there is one that can be understood. Their "handle" has finally lived up to expectations and is about to reach north.

But this ...... The appetite is a little too big.

Because the theaters in the north city are not only concentrated in the downtown area, but also most of them are adjacent to the junction of the north and south cities "Chang'an Street". For example, Wangfujing, Dongdan, and Xidan.

It can be said to be the best ground in the capital, and the profits are far from being comparable to those in the southern city. Not to mention bus lines like "Big Road", you can eat enough to "gnaw the ground".

In other words, none of the characters who can occupy these boundaries are easy to mess with, just like the characters who can occupy the train station in the south, which are not rolled by knives and guns. Otherwise, the "handles" in the south would have been attacked long ago, and others in the north would have come to grab the territory.

Now Hong Ye wants the situation of all theaters, how can this be doubled, can you really swallow it?

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

I feel a premonition that a bomb is about to detonate......
