Coming out of the Children's Palace, Zhang Jiaming and two friends went to the Staff Activity Center of the Mining Bureau, Lu Xiaokun and Xiao Sanzi played billiards on the first floor, Zhang Jiaming took the opportunity to inspect the room to be rented here.

After repeated comparisons, Zhang Jiaming was very satisfied with the large room at the easternmost end of the second floor, which used to be a quyi hall, and the seats in it were all ready-made, so he didn't need to pay for them, and this room was of the right size and could seat 200 spectators.

It's just that when Zhang Jiaming went to ask for the rent, the person in charge of renting the house didn't pay attention to him at all when he saw that he was a child, and he was soft-spoken, so it seemed that he had to find a person with long hair on his mouth to come over and talk about the rent.

The three friends played until it was dark before they went back to their homes.

Zhang Jiaming returned home and saw that his parents and sister were there, and because there were guests at home, Zhang Jiali did not continue to make noise. Zhang Jiaming subconsciously rubbed his left ear, feeling hot and painful, the old man was really ruthless? !

Wang Chunling pointed to a middle-aged couple sitting on the sofa and said to their son who had just entered the house: ?"? This is your cousin and cousin-in-law, do you still recognize it?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiaming nodded and shouted crisply: ?"? Cousin, cousin-in-law?。?"

"This is Jiaming, right? I haven't seen you grow so big in a few years?! As she spoke, her cousin took out a two-yuan bill from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Jiaming. Jiaming, take the New Year's money that your cousin gave you? ”

"Thank you, Cousin, for making you ?。? old again" Zhang Jiaming said and put the money in his pocket.

"Why don't you break the fee, I'm your aunt, so polite?!"? This kid talks all about adults, huh? ”

Wang Chunling glanced at her son proudly and said to her cousin: ?"? Don't pay attention to him, this kid is a big ghost, and he has a lot of flowers, and even I can't get around him?。?"

Wang Chunling successfully turned the topic to Zhang Jiaming, and then began to praise her son in a roundabout way.

Now Zhang Jiaming is the pride of her mother, as long as she catches the opportunity, she will praise her son in front of others, and she will praise her son if she has no opportunity to create opportunities.

Zhang Jiaming's ears were about to hear that the cheek was coming, and he raised his legs and hid in his room, when a ten-year-old young man stood up from his desk and said with a smile: ?"? You're Jiaming's cousin, right? ”

"Hello cousin! It's been a long time since we've seen each other???"

"Well, it's been almost three years, and I'm just in the first grade of elementary school at that time, and I've grown so big in the blink of an eye?!"

Zhang Jiaming instinctively glanced at his desk drawer, and found that the lock on it was still intact, but there were 18,000 yuan in cash, which could definitely be called a huge amount of money in this era.

Zhang Jiaming smiled and asked: ?"? Cousin, why don't you talk to your cousin and uncle outside???"

My cousin frowned and replied, "?"? My parents started to speak ill of me as soon as I entered the door, and I was upset when I heard it, so I ran to your house and hid for a while. ”

In Zhang Jiaming's impression, his cousin's family did have such a visit today, mainly to ask his father to find a job for their son, and his father did arrange a temporary worker for the cousin in front of him, and told him that if he behaved well, he would have a chance to become a regular worker in a year or two, but this eldest cousin only worked for less than two months and said goodbye because he was tired of work and low salary.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiaming spoke, "Cousin, I guess you came this time to ask my dad to find you a job?" ”

"No wonder your mom says you're a ghost! You'll have guessed that?。?"

"Cousin, if my dad promised to find you a temporary job, and if you can turn into a regular job after a year or two of good work, what are you willing to do??"

"Being a worker in the factory is dirty, tiring and always under control, I really don't want to do it?。?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Jiaming feels that it is time to get to the point, ?"? Cousin, if I found you a job with a salary of 100 yuan a month and a video all day long, what would you be willing to do? ”

"Who doesn't want to do this kind of work, who's a fool! Hehe, cousin, you kid is bad enough, how can there be such a good thing, and you make fun of your cousin again, right???"

"Now there is an opportunity in front of you, you have to know how to cherish it, don't wait until you lose it to regret it?!"? Zhang Jiaming immediately gave him a classic dialogue in "Journey to the West".

"It's really fake???" The eldest cousin asked suspiciously.

"Come on! Come! Come?! Zhang Jiaming sat cross-legged on the bed, patted the position next to him and said to his cousin: ?"? Sit down, I'll give you a detailed explanation. ”

Ten minutes later, Zhang Jiaming finished talking in detail, and the eldest cousin still looked at him carefully and asked: ?"? Buying a big color TV, the video recorder costs a lot of money, where does the money come from???"

"You don't have to worry about money, you just need to tell me if you are willing to do it?"

My cousin replied very simply, ?"? Whoever doesn't want to do such a beautiful difference is two hundred and five! But cousin, don't let your cousin rejoice?。?"

"Don't worry, cousin, I'm determined to do this deal, let's rent the house in the next two days, and strive to officially open before March 1.

Sure enough, my cousin pushed the door in and told her son the results of her discussion with her cousin-in-law Zhang Weiqun to find a job.

According to Zhang Jiaming's assumption, his video hall needs two people to help take care of it, and now that the quota of the eldest cousin has been finalized, who should I find if there is still a vacancy? ?

Although the eldest cousin has been floating in society for two years after graduating from high school, he is not very good, he is a typical weak and strong, and strong is weak.

In this era of relatively poor entertainment facilities, video halls, movie theaters, billiard rooms and other places are places where hooligans and gangsters gather together, and there are relatively many disputes and troubles.

With Zhang Jiaming's understanding of Grandpa Muddy, as long as he speaks, Grandpa Muddy will definitely agree to his request as the eldest grandson with a foreign surname, but Grandpa Muddy will definitely not ask for payment, he is an old guy who always puts love and righteousness first, and a stubborn old man who regards money as dung.

In the next few days, the eldest cousin came forward to successfully rent the room that Zhang Jiaming fancied, and the rent of the large room of nearly 200 square meters was only 180 yuan per month, and Zhang Jiaming paid off the rent for half a year at one time.

Lu Xiaokun called his friends to clean up again, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, Zhang Jiaming only needs to get the foreign exchange volume to buy color TVs and video recorders, and the video hall can be opened.

In the eighties, the foreign exchange business was exclusively operated by the Bank of China, and the scalpers who bought and sold foreign exchange volumes on the black market usually gathered at the door of the Yangjiang branch of the Bank of China.
