When the group arrived at the Guicheng Hotel, Chang Zheng asked for a private room, and after everyone entered, Chang Zheng took out a bag of Hongtashan and gave Ding Hongxing and Chen Jianxin cigarettes, Ding Hongxing declined, Chen Jianxin also waved his hand and smiled: "Hongxing doesn't like to smell smoke, so I never smoke in front of him." ”

Chang Zheng immediately put away the cigarette case and said to Xiaolong, who was about to light a cigarette: "You are not allowed to smoke today, Brother Red Star, this is the expression of the su zhì." I go to the big cities, where the people who are vegetarian don't smoke. ”

Xiaolong and the others also put away their cigarettes, but the way they scratched their ears and cheeks made Ding Hongxing amused, he said to Chang Zheng: "Boss Chang, you let them smoke, it's okay to smoke less." ”

Chang Zheng said to Xiaolong: "Then if you want to smoke, go out and come in after smoking, and you are not allowed to smoke in the box." ”

Several people went out one by one, and only Chang Zheng, Ding Hongxing and Chen Jianxin were left in the box.

Chang Zheng shook his head and said: "Alas, these brothers have no culture, and they didn't learn anything good from me before, but after following me for so many years, it's not good to ignore them." ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "Boss Chang is still very righteous!" ”

Chang Zheng said: "If Brother Red Star can afford me Chang Zheng, just call me Brother Chang, otherwise call me Chang Zheng, don't mention the three words Chang Zheng again." ”

Ding Hongxing was also very happy, and called "Brother Chang", Chang Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Hongxing is willing to call me Brother Chang, this is my Chang Zheng's three lives, what I admire the most is Brother Hongxing, single-handedly, with bare hands, Zhu Xiaoming and his gang were scattered!" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled slightly: "It's just a gesture, it's not enough to worry about." ”

Chang Zheng sighed: "For the Red Star Brothers, of course a role like Zhu Xiaoming is just a gesture, for me, it is the shame of my Chang Zheng in this life!" I have been on the road for so many years, and there are characters with heads and faces on Guicheng Road, which one is not polite when he sees me? I was actually cut off half of my ear by a junior who had just come out to mix, if it weren't for his jealousy, maybe he robbed me of the place where I lived. ”

Ding Hongxing said: "That's just that Brother Chang doesn't care about him in general." ”

Chang Zheng shook his head and said, "That's because I'm really scared!" I don't know how many ruthless people I've seen for so many years, no matter how ruthless I am, what can I do? Even if no one dares to mess with it on the rivers and lakes, when the movement comes, isn't it still a peanut eater? It wasn't my luck to crack down that year, but I was afraid that I would also be taken to shoot the target! ”

Speaking of this, Chang Zheng shook his head and sighed, looking afraid: "People say that the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and I think this is really the case." really did it with Zhu Xiaoming, I still have six or seven points of certainty that I will settle him, but I don't want to go down the old road anymore, he Zhu Xiaoming is a leper dog who does all kinds of evil, why should I fight with him? I didn't want my brothers to live like that before, so I let them go, I really wanted them to go the right way! ”

Chen Jianxin was silent, and Ding Hongxing just nodded silently.

Chang Zheng continued: "I want them to take the right path, but I'm a person who doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, and no one has ever read a book, so I really don't know how to go down this road, so I got into billiard stalls and dance halls that don't require any skills." Brother Red Star, don't think I'm talking too much, I really want to find someone to show us the way! ”

Ding Hongxing smiled and said, "Brother Chang, do you think I can show you the way?" ”

Chang Zheng said solemnly: "Brother Red Star, I Chang Zheng don't have any great skills, but there is one case, I rarely look at people, I think Brother Red Star, you are not an ordinary person, you will definitely have great achievements in the future, Brother Chang believes that you can show me the way." ”

Ding Hongxing pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, Brother Chang, since you and your brothers have not read any books, there are many businesses that you can't do, but you can also do some things that you are familiar with, and you don't need to go wrong, and there will be great development." ”

Chang Zheng nodded again and again when he listened, and Chen Jianxin also listened attentively.

Ding Hongxing continued: "For example, the business of your billiard stall can be expanded. I heard that the billiards halls in those big cities now, the business is still good, the more high-end the business, the better, the hourly charge, there are billiards coaches to guide, and many high-level people like to play. ”

"Hourly charges? How much does that hour cost? Chang Zheng asked.

Ding Hongxing said: "Dozens of pieces!" ”

"So much?" Chang Zheng was speechless: "Then how many people in our Guicheng can afford to spend?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Our charging standards here can be appropriately lowered, and they can also be divided into grades, and the charging standards of each grade are different." Now there are more and more people playing billiards in China, and the people are getting richer and richer, but there is a lack of entertainment venues, at least I haven't seen a more formal billiards hall in Guicheng, the billiards stalls are relatively low, and the tables and billiards supplies are also relatively low. ”

Chang Zheng nodded again and again, in the nineties, China began to broadcast some high-level billiards games, which made billiards, which was originally not high-grade in people's minds, also ascended to the hall of elegance and became a gentleman's sport, there are indeed more and more people playing billiards, Davis, Hendry, White and other world-class billiards players The names of world-class billiards players have also become familiar names to Chinese billiards fans, Chang Zheng is a billiards stall, of course, these changes are very clear, and there is a large poster of Hendry in front of his billiards stall.

Ding Hongxing said again: "Of course, it is not so easy to open the billiards hall well, at least the billiards level, billiards etiquette and image of your brothers must be greatly improved, so as to attract more high-level people to come and play." ”

I don't know when, Xiaolong and the others came back after being addicted to smoking, and when they heard Ding Hongxing's eloquent conversation, they all stood at the door, listening attentively to his words, and while listening, they nodded subconsciously.

Ding Hongxing said: "In fact, Brother Chang still has a lot of industries to choose from, such as the construction industry, the catering industry, etc., the future development prospects of these industries are also quite good, but it is better to be familiar than to be cooked, I built Brother Chang at the beginning of the billiard hall and dance hall that you are most familiar with, and so on to accumulate more experience and funds, and then enter other industries, I believe that Brother Chang will have great development in the future." ”

Chang Zheng nodded and said: "This is really listening to your words, better than reading for ten years!" ”

He turned his head to Xiaolong and the others by the door, "How is it?" Convinced, right? ”

Xiaolong nodded and said, "I've already taken it!" ”

While talking, the wine and food came up, everyone was seated, Chang Zheng wanted to pour wine for Ding Hongxing, Ding Hongxing said: "I don't drink, I have to study at night later." ”

Chang Zheng was not reluctant, he asked the waiter to listen to Jianlibao, asked everyone else to pour the wine, and first toasted Ding Hongxing with a glass.

Chang Zheng said: "Brother Red Star, I'm quite interested in that billiard hall, can you explain it in more detail?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Of course I can say in more detail, but I still go to the billiard hall in the big city to inspect and see how they operate, what do you need to improve, hearing is false, seeing is believing." ”

Chang Zheng nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go out for a walk, in Guicheng, it's really too backward." ”

While eating vegetables, Ding Hongxing told Chang Zheng some of the management methods of the billiard hall, which he had seen when he went to the billiard hall to play in his previous life, but for Chang Zheng, it was unheard of, he even forgot to eat the dishes, stopped his chopsticks and listened to Ding Hongxing's words intently.

Listening to Ding Hongxing's words, Chang Zheng groaned: "If you want to make the billiard hall high-grade, my open-air billiard shed is not suitable, my dance hall business is not bad, it is not suitable to be changed into a billiard hall, it seems that I have to find a new place quickly." ”

Chen Jianxin said with a smile: "My game hall just needs to find a place, so I'll help you find it by the way, and we'll be neighbors in the future." ”

Chang Zheng patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Boss Chen." ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "This is a good idea, these two kinds of business have something in common with the people, and they can have a mutual promotion effect when they are opened together." ”

Chang Zheng said: "I think this idea is good, but I can't say what's good, or a learned person can say it thoroughly!" ”

Chen Jianxin said: "My game hall can be here today thanks to the guidance of Red Star." ”

Chang Zheng said to Ding Hongxing: "Brother Hongxing, didn't you say that a few of them should improve their billiards level or something?" Why don't I bother others, so I'll ask you to train them, right? Like Boss Chen, my billiard hall is also a part of the Red Star Brothers. ”

Ding Hongxing thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with the training, but the matter of shares is still forgotten, right?" ”

Chang Zheng was anxious: "Are you too young or look down on me?" Why didn't you take his share from me? Or do I give you 20 percent? ”

Ding Hongxing smiled bitterly, he didn't have much wealth in his previous life, but he didn't expect to be reborn, and even his fortune was transferred, and someone always rushed to give this share to himself. He could only nod and say, "Then I have to be respectful and might as well obey my fate!" But I don't have time for this part, I'll go to your place when I have time. ”

Chang Zheng nodded and said, "I know, Boss Chen said just now, you have been helping the Agricultural Bank of China play football these days!" I didn't expect you to play well in the ball, do you want our brothers to cheer you on. ”

Ding Hongxing was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary." ”

Chang Zheng laughed and said: "I'm kidding you, I also know that our brothers are a little sorry for the audience, don't freak people out." ”
