Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Have No Money
In Hanguo, any theater will have a venue rental service.
Whether it is setting up the stage, walking on the stage, performing, or used as a conference activity, different projects have different charging prices, so when he heard Shen Yiran say that he wanted to rent a theater, Zha Yingyun was not too surprised, but asked in a low voice:
"I don't know if Mr. Shen, are you planning to rent an outfield or an infield?"
The outfield refers to the open-air square outside the door of the Xuanzhou Zhongxi Grand Theater, which is much cheaper than the infield.
"Infield. ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yiran gave his own answer:
"In addition to the VIP room, I want all the supporting facilities and equipment in the side hall of the front hall, and I also want you to help me act as an agent. ”
"Well, Mr. Shen, it seems that you are going to do a commercial performance. ”
In the conference room, after listening to Shen Yiran's needs, Zha Yingyun nodded, took out a bound document from the filing cabinet on the side and handed it over:
"This is our theater venue rental fee, Mr. Shen, you take a look at it first. ”
After taking the price list and looking at the various charges of the theater, Shen Yiran rubbed his nose unconsciously.
The standard of the rental time of Zhongxi Grand Theater is four hours, divided into three sessions per day, 22,000 bare stages in the evening, 18,000 bare stages during the day, and the cost of lighting, sound, facilities and equipment is calculated separately.
At the same time, the air-conditioning fee is 5,000 for air conditioning and 6,000 for heating, and the front hall is 2,000 for the side hall, and the ticket agent charges 15% of the face price.
Such a price is not too expensive, but Shen Yiran obviously can't afford to pay so much money, thought for a while, and after making some calculations in his mind, he said:
"Manager Cha, I also learned a little about the situation of our theater before I came, I remember that every Monday, our theater is closed, right?"
"Well, yes, Mr. Shen, do you want to rent Monday's show?"
As soon as Shen Yiran's voice fell, Zha Yingyun knew what he wanted to express, so without waiting for him to answer, he took over the conversation first:
"If you rent a week once a week, the cost is expected to increase, after all, the rest time will also increase the expenses such as employee salaries. ”
Although Zha Yingyun's tone was very sincere, after listening to this paragraph, Shen Yiran couldn't help laughing, the reason why he mentioned the closure of the museum was originally to use this as a reason to cut the price down, who knew that the manager of the market development department in front of him actually took the lead in playing with him.
"Manager Cha, if you have such an attitude, I don't think we need to talk about it anymore, the price will increase on Monday's closed day, hehe, are you planning to bully me into being young and not knowing?"
Placing the price list on the table in the conference room, Shen Yiran sneered, shook his head, and continued:
"Our company was originally going to carry out three performances in Xuanzhou this month, two evening performances, one full-day, because a friend had introduced our theater to me before, so I came to you for the first time, however, what you just said really made me a little disappointed.....
Hearing this praise and disparagement, Zha Yingyun smiled awkwardly, but as the manager of the market development department of Zhongxi Grand Theater, he had rich experience in business negotiations, and he did not have any emotional panic at all, but said unhurriedly:
"Mr. Shen misunderstood, I told you before that the cooperation plan formulated by our theater to the outside world, since you were introduced by a friend, then everyone is an acquaintance, the family does not speak two words, if you give it to you, we must be at the price of acquaintances. ”
After speaking, Zha Yingyun took out a black gel pen from the pen holder, reached out and took the price list that Shen Yiran put on the table, and asked casually while scribbling and changing:
"I don't know who Mr. Shen's friend is, if he wants to be in Xuanzhou, we can come out and get together when he has time. ”
"Mr. Gu, who is the pioneer of the times, doesn't know if Manager Cha recognizes him?"
Without the slightest concealment, Shen Yiran said the name of a company.
"Pioneer of the times?"
After being silent for a few seconds, Zha Yingyun seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized:
"I remember, last year he rented our theater to hold a rock-themed concert, and the scene was really exciting!"
Hearing Zha Yingyun say this, Shen Yiran also echoed:
"Yes, Lao Gu's company likes to play rock singers, and I don't know if they will come to the south to hold a concert this year. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yiran bit his lip and forcibly kept himself from laughing.
From entering the conference room to the present, all the words were made up by him in advance, including the pioneer of the times and Mr. Gu, in fact, he didn't know him.
One of the great benefits of the Internet age is that as long as you learn the basics and have a certain amount of patience, you will be able to learn a lot of information you want.
Before coming to Zhongxi Grand Theater, Shen Yiran checked a lot of useful information on the Internet, such as the heads of various departments of the theater, which are mentioned in the contact information under the official website.
Another example is the company Times Pioneer, which is what he saw after searching for the words 'Zhongxi Grand Theater music performance'.
Since online ticket purchase is very popular nowadays, and the official website of Zhongxi Grand Theater clearly mentions that the performance projects of the theater troupe are stage plays and dramas, this kind of music concert must be outsourced by other companies.
Finding the performance information is basically equivalent to finding the production unit, and if you find the production unit, you only need to go to the official website of the Hanguo Administration for Industry and Commerce to check it, and you can know the company's legal person and shareholders.
To put it simply, on the Internet, most of the information is transparent, and when you come to a strange city, you have nothing and know nothing, in addition to courage, knowing this information can also increase the probability of success when you implement your plan.
Just like misleading Li Wanxiang before, although there were some mistakes, the result was also developing in a good direction.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think of this price?"
Handing over the revised price list, Zha Yingyun continued:
"This is the price of the evening rent of the pioneer of the times, they are all acquaintances, and I will help you waive the cost of lifting the orchestra pit and the registration procedures by the way. ”
"16,000 matinees, 20,000 evening games, 50,000 naked stations throughout the day, 5% increase on holidays, and 10% of the face value of agent ticketing. ”
Seeing the new price, Shen Yiran nodded, gave an OK gesture and said with a smile:
"Manager Cha is refreshing, since you have said so, then I will not go around the bend with you, I want the twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, and twenty-eighth days of August, the first two days of the evening, and the last day of the whole day. ”
"Well, the bare table is a total of 99,000 yuan, and you can see what else you need for other equipment and facilities. ”
"Electronic large screen, projector, stage floor blanket, sound gallery sound system, two surface light, slap, side light hanger, electric boom ......"
As if ordering food in a restaurant, Shen Yiran took a pen and sketched out the service items needed on the price list one by one, and then returned it to Zha Yingyun.
"Mr. Shen, wait a minute, I'll help you calculate it and then we'll sign the contract, by the way, do you plan to transfer money from the company or pay directly from you?"
Seeing that Zha Yingyun counted all the expenses there, Shen Yiran coughed dryly twice, sighed and said:
"Manager Cha, let's put it this way, I don't have any money!"
