Chapter 227: New Things

In early summer, the capital is peaceful and vibrant, and fashionable young people change into summer clothes early. This summer, Dahua Garment Company has launched a series of summer clothing for men and women. The clothing is fashionable and chic, adding a beautiful modern atmosphere to the capital. Man's adaptation is fantastic, the war has just ended, and it seems to be in the past tense. The topic of war was quickly replaced by the overwhelming spread of new things, and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

In front of a teahouse, tea customers are chatting in the north and south, and well-informed people are working hard to describe the new things that have appeared in the capital. Suddenly, a bicycle bell rang outside, and I saw two young girls, dressed in red loose shirts and jeans, as if no one was riding by. Everyone witnessed this scene, although it was difficult to adapt, but no one made a big fuss to slander it, but only sighed softly.

A tea guest said: "Everyone, it is not strange to see too much, if I were 10 years younger, I might be fashionable." "Don't look at jeans with buttocks and balls, but jeans are strong, durable, and not expensive, no wonder young people like them." "I've heard that Americans are very fond of denim, and it's hard to imagine that our clothes are sold in America." "But the bikes produced by Dahua are practical, and I'm going to buy one."

"My brother is right, I'm saving up to buy one!" Everyone was gossiping, and the topic of bicycles began to show its own strength. At this time, a black sedan stopped in front of the teahouse, the door opened, and a middle-aged man got out of the car. The middle-aged man wears a white silk gown on the upper body, beep pants on the bottom, and orange leather shoes. The middle-aged man had waxed hair and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. In his left hand, he holds a birdcage, which is somewhat nondescript.

"Lord Belle is here, there is love!" The teahouse junior hurriedly ran out to greet him. The middle-aged man walked into the teahouse with his toes high, and all the tea customers greeted him one after another. "Lord Belle, the shotgun has been changed today, and the bicycle has been replaced by a car!" "Lord Belle is also in fashion." "What do you know, live in the moment, I don't care what others say!" "Lord Baylor, what's the news today?" "What do you want to hear?" "Of course, it's an interesting story in the small court, only Lord Belle can enter the palace, and you are the press officer of the palace!"

"I really have a big news today?" The crowd pricked up their ears. "Hurry up and serve tea, you want to kill me with thirst!" Hurriedly served the tea with quick hands and feet, and the middle-aged man took a few sips of tea unhurriedly and said: "The government is officially down, and the palace will be open to the outside world!" Everyone was stunned. What does it mean to open up to the outside world? "Stupid people, anyone can enter the palace to visit." "So you can see the little emperor?"

"Nonsense, otherwise what are you doing in the palace!" "No wonder the palace has been renovated, it was originally for people to visit, haha, Lao Tzu can enter the Forbidden City to have a look." "I'll tell you, it costs money to visit the Forbidden City, 10 oceans each time." Seeing that everyone was depressed, the middle-aged man continued: "It's simple, and the number of people entering the Forbidden City is limited, and only 500 people can visit it every day." In the future, the government will no longer give the palace silver, and the Forbidden City ticket income will be used to meet the daily expenses of the Forbidden City. ”

"10 oceans per person, 500 people a day is 5,000 oceans, 150,000 oceans a month, and 2 million inputs a year. The little emperor's income has been reduced by half, and it is time to live a hard life. "That's a bad thing, you only know one and you don't know the other. Souvenirs are sold in the palace, and this alone far exceeds the income from the entrance fee. In addition, visitors can taste the dishes of the Imperial Palace's dining room, which is conservatively estimated to reach 6 million yuan a year. ”

An old man with a gray beard said: "This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, the government has saved money, and the little emperor's life is more nourishing, I guess it must be General Ge's move." "This old brother is right, not long ago, General Ge went to the palace and asked that the little emperor be allowed to go to school and receive popular education. At present, the little emperor is already studying in a noble school in the capital. Haha, there are strange things every year, especially this year. ”

"Lord Belle, what's the strange thing?" "My daughter fell in love with an officer in a tank unit and said it was love freedom. He also said that the Wehrmacht officers are the loveliest people, and many young ladies are proud to be married to the Wehrmacht. It is said that there is an infatuated woman who got married to Ge Yunfei's photo and stayed together for life, which is really strange. ”

The teahouse gossip may not be a real event, but it reflects the signs of social change. When people begin to accept new things, when people see a new era, slowly opening the curtain with unstoppable momentum, the sensory stimulation and the vivid plot displayed on the stage are involuntarily immersed in it. The tide of social change began to blow out under the impetus of an invisible hand. Needless to say, history is made by the brave.

On this morning, the front of the Guangming Theater suddenly became lively. The traditional Peking Opera posters performed in the past are gone, and the content of the new posters has been revealed: Shanghai Film Production Company has grandly launched a simultaneous sound documentary, "Shanghai's Yesterday and Today". In the past, it was a silent movie, where people could only see people moving on the canvas, and the plot was understood entirely through the body language of the actors, lacking sensory stimulation. The launch of a sound movie this time naturally caused a sensation.

After the theater owner worked hard to explain what a sound movie is, he announced that he would buy a ticket. "Haha, I can hear the sound when I watch the movie, I want to have a sneak peek!" A young man rushed to the ticket gate first, and the people behind rushed forward, and suddenly became a pot of porridge. The theater owner shouted at the top of his voice to line up, but nothing happened. The frenzied ticket purchase was the first time in the capital, and in less than an hour, the theater tickets were announced. The news of the premiere of the sound movie and the frenzied purchase of tickets quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the capital, arousing people's appetites.

The theater owner didn't expect the sound movie to be so popular and decided to play it all night that day. Nowadays, the scale of the theater is not large, and it is full of forty or fifty people at a time. The theater owner has an ingenious standing ticket and a double number of people for a screening. For several days in a row, the Guangming Theater was full all night, becoming a great spectacle in the capital, and the theater owner also made a lot of money. In addition, the documentary "Shanghai's Past and Today" interprets Shanghai as the most prosperous city from a unique perspective, alluding to the beginning and changes of a new era.

When the Guangming Theater launched a sound movie, a unique mega restaurant opened about 200 meters from the theater. This street-facing restaurant has attracted attention since its opening began in the middle of last year. The building covers an area of about 500 square meters, with three floors and a business area of more than 1,500 square meters. On the opening day, a large number of curious people gathered, and the most eye-catching thing was that Ge Yunfei and his wife were among the crowd who came to congratulate them.

At this time, Osmanthus Hua, the president of Dahua Catering Company, wearing a purple cheongsam and a dignified temperament, walked on the temporary podium, nodded to the guests with a smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Dahua Catering Company has more than ten chain stores in the capital, all of which are high-end restaurants. In order to repay the love of the people of Beijing, in order to let the people of Beijing get benefits, the company decided to open a Dahua fast food restaurant. Dahua fast food restaurants are not for profit, and small profits are enough. ”

Osmanthus waved his hand, and his subordinates lifted the red cloth on the plaque, and the gilded Dahua fast food restaurant was revealed. "Ladies and gentlemen, Dahua fast food restaurant has three floors and a business area of more than 1,500 square meters, which can meet the needs of thousands of people at a time. This fast food restaurant does not serve alcohol, but mainly serves a variety of pasta, rice, and home-cooked dishes to satisfy all tastes. In addition, we offer a variety of pickles, pickles for a penny, and soup for a penny. ”

"The purpose of Dahua fast food restaurant is to repay the society and provide affordable and convenient ······ for the poor people." After the firecrackers were fired, a curious crowd flocked to the hall, and the waiters in the hall were all young women, dressed in uniform and politely smiling. After the guests swarmed in, Osmanthus walked down the podium and said, "Wenqing, you should be satisfied this time!" "My satisfaction doesn't count, the customer's satisfaction counts."

"Osmanthus, how much does it cost to eat a full stomach in a fast food restaurant?" Ge Yunfei asked. "General Ge, I know what you mean. Pickles and soup don't cost money, if a guest buys 3 steamed buns, 5 cents is enough. I did the math, and I was able to break even. "Osmanthus, if it's a loss?" "Wen Qing, don't worry, even if you lose, you will do good." "Osmanthus, I won't let you lose, I will allocate some of the annual fundraising funds to give you subsidies."

"That's great, I can improve the quality of the food at the original price!" Ge Yunfei said: "Osmanthus, you have done something of immeasurable merit, which is also a new thing. If more giant businessmen do such good deeds, our society will be more harmonious. "You two husbands and wives, will you go in and have a look?" "I still don't go in, otherwise the guests won't be able to eat with peace of mind. Two days later, my wife and I dressed up to taste the delicious food at the fast food restaurant. ”

The popularity of Dahua fast food restaurant is a new idea that doing good requires another way of giving, perhaps more practical than giving.
