On July 10th, the first day of junior high school officially ended for summer vacation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Go out first, the prince is shouting downstairs. Wake up quickly, lunch is on the coffee table, and the noodles will be sticky for a while. Poplar said to the rat, who was still sleeping at noon, and trotted downstairs regardless of his reaction.

"Are you going to Taiyu City today?" The prince shouted excitedly from afar.

Yang Shu smiled: "Well, let's go." It's just right to take the car over now, otherwise they will be busy in the afternoon and won't have time to pay attention to us. ”

The two talked and laughed, walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus.

After the holidays, the school is not able to live. The rat's father rented him a suite in Dakai City, and there was a spare room anyway, so Yang Shu discussed it with a dead face. During the summer vacation, my parents and my fifth uncle came to see Poplar twice, but each time they didn't stay long, after all, the hotel accommodation fee in Dakai City was too expensive.

The prince is Yang Shu took advantage of the fact that he had not yet gone to the labor camp to fool him into going to an entertainment place to install a basketball machine. As soon as the prince heard Yang Shu's invitation, he immediately played with his heart and agreed without thinking about it. Yang Shu borrowed a little from the prince's light, and the place where the two talked was surprisingly smooth, and the person in charge of those entertainment venues heard that they were doing special classes to practice classes, and they were reluctant at first. When they learned the identity of the prince's father, the two of them were invincible everywhere they passed, and they both installed basketball machines one by one.

Poplar is really limited in money, and after buying another 24 shooting machines, his pocket is almost empty. The school's basketball shooters were also temporarily moved out during the summer vacation, and two were placed in each place, and soon 20 places were installed.

Later, even some people who opened bars and casinos looked for poplar and asked him to quickly install a few in his own place. Yang Shu was a little surprised, and felt strange in his heart: If the prince didn't make a basketball machine, so many people would take the initiative to come to the door, right? But even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure it out. In the end, Yang Shu could only shout that the prestige of the prince's father was very useful, and the feeling of this fox and fake tiger was quite refreshing. After installing the basketball machine, the prince went to the labor camp to practice. And the mouse didn't go to the counter until after noon, just because after his father called his brother to take him to resell, he rarely slept until noon, and almost always went out early and returned late.

……

"Why are there two shooting machines here?" A young man in his twenties shouted.

"It's the prince's pretend." One of the young man's attendants said.

"Him?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered: "It seems that the special class of the first year of junior high school this year has been practiced outside the school again." ”

"It's with poplars." At this time, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy hinted with a hint of resentment. The person who hates the poplar tree like this, who is it if he is not Bao Jin?

"Poplar?" The young man frowned, apparently having long forgotten about the poplar.

Seeing the young man look like this, his heart was blocked. He didn't give up and instigated: "Brother Land, it is said that Yang Shu's final results have won the third place." ”

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the land: "Third place? That's it. ”

Seeing the disdain of the land, Bao Jin said anxiously: "Liu Bingran is gone, what are you waiting for?" I must let him taste what I tasted back then, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart. ”

Hearing Bao Jin's instigation, the land was quite displeased, and said sharply, "Hmph! If it weren't for your father pulling me in the first place, he wouldn't have bothered to care about your. For this time, I will not take this as an example. ”

Bao Jin suddenly smiled: "Thank you, Brother Land!" ”

Hearing this, the land was not speaking, thinking back to Liu Bing, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. muttered alone: "Don't use Liu Bingran to press me." Don't think that she is Brother Leopard's goddaughter, just give her three points of thin noodles. Brother Leopard's aura is why Brother Shi thinks this stupid big brother is the big brother. In short, Lao Tzu will redeem all of them in the future, so that you can wait to bow down. ”

……

From the beginning of July to the end of August, Poplar often went to various places to promote and do prize activities, but even then there was not much improvement, and there was even a situation where no one came to play all day, which was completely different from the hot business of the school before.

At the end of August, the income of the 30 shooting machines only showed 30,000 yuan on the books, and even the cost of the new shooting machines was not recovered. To add insult to injury, entertainment venues began to charge poplars a monthly entry fee of 500 yuan per unit and a management fee. Just as Yang Shu was thinking about whether to dispose of the basketball machine and think about other projects, a week before the start of school in September, the shooting machine business suddenly exploded. Poplar is probably the reason why there are more students after the start of school. This made him call himself a frog at the bottom of the well, and he shouldn't have been conservatively cowering in school, staring short-sightedly at one acre and three points of land.

Harvesting and sowing divide September, and with a flick of the sharp blade of the autumn equinox, the autumn crops fall one after another. Farmers save their seeds and sweat into accounts for the autumn equinox, waiting to demand good interest on the rolling wheat waves of the coming year.

The life of the second year of junior high school has finally begun.

The bosses of the entertainment venues asked Yang Shu to sign a contract quickly, and the annual fee was 6,000 yuan per unit, and it was paid once a quarter. Poplar's rather clever dead skin dragged his face, wanting to see how the operation would be after the start of school. A week later, Yang Shu decisively signed a contract with these bosses, totaling 45,000 yuan. At the same time, 16 shooting machines were put back to school, and the 30,000 yuan in the card went out again before it was hot, plus the 60,000 yuan earned in the past two weeks, just enough to pay off the down payment. The two parties very rationally added a one-year exclusivity agreement to the contract, but the liquidated damages compensation was a shooting machine.

There is an old saying in the family that "there are many people who are popular", since the third place at the end of the last semester, I don't know why, the new semester in the school to play basketball machine students is as frequent as last semester, maybe it is a fresh frenzy at the beginning of the last semester, even if the poplar has done enough activities, increased the bonus, business has been tepid. What's more, the shooting machine is often damaged by people blocking the coin port with chewing gum, being quietly debugged, and being punched and kicked......

In order to put an end to such bad behaviors, Yang Shu can only spend money on two students on each floor of the teaching building to help take care of it, and at the same time, he will often go to the security room to investigate his monitoring and wait for evidence to be collected and submitted to the school's special department. Fortunately, the school is very protective of the project practice of students in characteristic classes, and anyone who artificially destroys the projects of characteristic classes will be expelled. Once a student in the ordinary class was placed on probation for destroying the shooting machine, so far, the human factor of destroying the shooting machine is much smaller. However, as a result, the image of the basketball shooter was greatly reduced by the students, and the operation situation was decreasing day by day.

Fortunately, this semester is also entering the end of November. Due to the handover of all the characteristic maker bases in the next semester to the new students, after entering December, Poplar gradually withdrew the school's basketball machine.

The shooting machine outside the school has maintained a healthy development, although it has not reached the explosive scene at the beginning of the school year, it can always have a stable income. Yang Shu estimated that the hot scene in September might be difficult to reproduce, and until now he still has difficulty understanding why there was such a hot scene in the first place? Later, he often went to the entertainment places where the basketball machines were installed to observe, and found that there were not many students who actually went to the entertainment venues, but those gangsters who often came and went, occasionally sitting idle and waiting for people to pass the time.

The frequency of the shooting machine outside the school can also be about 30 times a day, and the average monthly income of each machine is 1,800 yuan. It is estimated that the cost of going out to the venue and some management and maintenance costs will be recovered in about two months, so after adding 24 shooting machines in 12 resettlement sites, plus the 16 shooting machines that have been evacuated, the number has reached 80, and the venue fee expenditure at the end of the month has reached 120,000 yuan. At the end of the month, he had to pay the venue fee for the next month, and Yang Shu thought that the balance on the card would evaporate in an instant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. In mid-December, the contract came as scheduled, and in the style of Yang Shu's borrowing money, he knew that he would pay the rent to the accounts of various bosses very punctually, and the account balance was empty again, and he also borrowed 20,000 yuan from some classmates who were doing money-making practice.

……

The new year is like a little girl walking towards us with light steps, and there is no place where she walks without laughter. But Yang Shu couldn't laugh, since he paid the three-month management fee in December, the shooting machine was like a hot potato, and the number of people playing was getting fewer and fewer day by day, and by the end of the semester, even once in a week, there were only one or two boring new faces trying to play, and some of the old faces that I had often seen in the past had never seen again.

When the contract was signed, the exclusivity agreement stated that the management fee for the next quarter could not be paid after three months, and the shooting machine was liquidated damages. And the school's basketball machine has already moved out, how can there be other income to remove the east wall and make up the west wall, there is no cash flow. According to such a scene, even if the family is bankrupt, I am afraid that I will still be in debt. He told his classmates that he would return 20,000 yuan at the beginning of the next semester.

Yang Shu carefully went to the resettlement site to observe the current situation of depression, and saw that the gangsters who often came to shoot basketball were not playing with the ball, and even sometimes when they saw him on the field, they actually looked at him with a wicked smile, and often laughed sarcastically. Things have come to this, Yang Shu summed up the changes in his heart during this time, since the salted fish turned over, his heart is like a frenzy, no one in his eyes, and there is a trend at his fingertips in the world, he has long forgotten the cautious words that his father often admonishes, and he thinks twice before acting. The habitual three thoughts refer to the "one thinks about the end, the second thinks about the rebellion, and the third thinks about the transposition" summarized by Yang Shu in the classics of the sages since he was a child. ”

Yang Shu thought twice, and laughed coldly at himself: "It was calculated." I saw his right thumb supporting his chin, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and then there was a cold glint in his eyes: "Land, I, poplar, will not stand with you."

……

The box in a bar was dimly lit, with boxes of cigarettes and two dozen beers with their caps open.

A young man in his twenties patted the twelve-year-old boy next to him and said with a sneer: "Three months later, go and take over the shooting machine." ”

The young man smiled in surprise: "Okay, thank you to the land lord."

The young man casually took a form and came out: "Baojin, go and find the thugs in these places." They must not be allowed to arrange for someone to go during these three months, and even if they really want to play, they must wait until three months later. Disdainful in his heart: At this level, he dared to put the idea on Lao Tzu at the beginning, which is really beyond his strength.

The boy took the form, raised his glass and toasted it, then turned and walked out. Thinking of the scene when Poplar was now sad and about to go crazy, a pleasant laugh appeared on his face. He kept muttering, "I'm afraid you'll never know why, right?" Haha, let you also taste the day of being kept in the dark and slowly being eaten away by calculations, it must be very enjoyable. After tasting the taste, Lao Tzu will slowly tell you the truth of the matter, and let you feel the taste of me at the beginning. Hahahaha......"

……

The first semester of the second year of junior high school finally ended, and the mouse and his brother went back to their temporary hometown for a week to learn how to deal with the purchase channels and relationships in southern Myanmar.

Poplar hid alone in the mouse's house and didn't go out for a week. The thing he did the most this week was fantasy!! fantasized about the return of the king, fantasized about giving his parents a decent life, fantasized about making the land miserable, and fantasized about the boundless nothingness...... It wasn't until I was so hungry that my limbs ached and I had a splitting headache that I forcibly reminded myself to cheer up.

But the noodles at home had been eaten last night, so I washed my face, brushed my teeth, went to the street to eat porridge for a night, and drank a few bottles of wine. The strength of the wine spreads, and after thinking about it, how should I start? Powerless!! With this sense of powerlessness and trance, I returned home.

Poplar was unable to return to the room, and began to be in the same realm as emptiness, the same latitude as fantasy. In the darkness the poplar lit a cigarette, yes, he learned to smoke under the influence of his brother during the week, and saw the sporadic fire beating softly, it was a silent heartbeat. The cigarette butt was gone, the darkness swallowed him, there was no resistance, no struggle, he was already used to the darkness. Sitting alone in a room with no one in the middle of the night, his world is still only him, the cold and helplessness creep in, and he can only be decadent!!

Once again, the poplar invades the boundless fantasy......
