Chapter 299: A New Chapter
Regarding the predicament of the theater, Li Chen was a little unexpected. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info or rather, as he expected, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Originally, he had only made some preparations for the hidden enemies. Since the effect of pretending to be a god and making a ghost is so strong, he pretends to be a god and a ghost, and the thunder and lightning are so scared that your soul is not possessed, what about gunpowder?
For the Koreans, Li Chen got a treasure of Yang Gong for them. If you have the ability, you can dig it. Forgive them and don't dare to confirm it.
I wanted to say that this would be a peace of mind, but unexpectedly, Buddhism faced a greater blow, originally before Li Chen went to sea, several temples reopened the mountain gate, and then slightly restored the theater, now all closed.
Li Chen's theater did not become better because of this, it was almost to the limit. At this time, Zao Wou-Ki and Luo Sihai, imitating the theater built by Li Chen's Theater Garden, opened at this time, absorbing other audiences.
These two theaters are also the same as Li Chen, they have caught up with the good time, as soon as they open, they are full of guests, full of seats, and they are making money every day, and they are so happy that they swallow a mouthful of ice water on dog days, and they are so happy that their pores are open from the inside to the outside.
If only these two are okay, in Li Chen's expectation, although the theater did not make much money, it was impossible to lose money. But later changes exceeded Li Chende's expectations, which caused the theater to be almost unable to operate.
Where is this? Yangzhou, Yang Yi Yi II. It's probably the richest place in the world. Merchants are the most concentrated, capital is also the most concentrated, and people with sensitive minds are most concentrated.
Seeing that one theater made money, two or three theaters made money, and Buddhism was almost destroyed. As a result, a large amount of capital began to pour in, and began to rush to build theaters. All of a sudden, Yangzhou theaters were lined up.
You say, it will take months to build a theater, how can it be so fast. But the question is, who says that the theater has to be covered from the beginning?
Many people use a small amount of money to renovate the interior of a store, which is a small theater, and it can be done in a month.
It's like Li Chen can't easily build a big movie theater. Then some people follow suit, make a closed room by themselves, get a projector, hang a white cloth, get a film, and they can also play movies for a fee. It's not a movie theater, at least it's a screening room.
As a result, a small screening hall sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the wrong small theater became Li Chen's fierce rival in the big theater. Although they are not as varied as Li Chen's theater, their low prices have attracted many middle and low-class people to consume.
Of course, if these theaters are just cheap, they won't attract so many customers. One of the reasons why guests will churn. It was Li Chen who pioneered the chapter back body serial novel in Datang. This kind of novel and legend is not available in the Tang Dynasty.
However, the absence of this genre is not that the genre is too difficult to understand, but that no one thought of it. Now that someone has come out, there has been an imitation. Many literati and writers have followed suit, and many novel stories have been created.
Like this kind of chapter back style, it is easy to attract people to listen to it all the time and become die-hard. Therefore, when there is a long chapter hui style novel, it is inevitable to divert some guests to other theaters.
This is not the main thing, this is still expected by Li Chen. The second reason for the loss of guests is that Datang is too unaware of copyright.
In order to continue to attract guests to the door and fight against those new chapter-hui novels in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chen left a lot of stories before leaving, all of which were fresh stories.
Like some kind of fantasy, Romeo and Juliet, the prince of beggars, the lady of the camellias, etc. Arabian Nights has not changed, Datang has already had business dealings with Dashi, although the audience does not know its customs, but they know the place.
Some of the other stories have been set in a slightly changed setting, some of which are drawn to the Greek era, and some of which are to the Roman era. No one can blame the background for being wrong anyway. In addition to these, there are also some Greek mythological stories, which were also thrown out by him.
The effect was very good, attracting a lot of listeners, and the business of the theater reached a peak. The people of Datang are relatively open, and they are easy to accept some foreign things. There is no such thing as a bad water and soil. It's just that Datang doesn't have much copyright awareness.
It's impossible to tell a story once and forget it. It's just a TV series, and it's impossible to just broadcast it once. Will definitely replay and replay. After the satellite station is dialed up, the local station will be put on the Internet if the response is good, otherwise it will try to sell it to other countries.
As a result, when the stories were inevitably repeated several times, other speakers wrote down the stories and told them themselves. It didn't matter, it was expected by Li Chen.
The only thing Li Chen didn't expect was that when the big and small dramas were set up and the competition was getting hot, a new story would be told that morning, and before it could be repeated, it would appear in other theaters. For this, Li Chen was speechless. Okay, don't forget it, awesome.
Because of this, the theater is miserable. If it weren't for the tea business to maintain, the theater would almost be unsustainable.
It's just that I don't know how long the tea business can last, and now all kinds of new tea sets have been imitated. The key tea production, I heard that some people have found a way to start improving, although there are still 108,000 miles away from Li Chen's finished product, but God knows which day it will be imitated.
So when Li Chen came back from going to sea, he was resentful, the theater was facing strong competition, and he was expecting to sell Tianfang goods to save the emergency, but he didn't expect it to be detained for several months before it was returned. Fortunately, there is still Japanese business to support, and glass production can also be supplemented, otherwise Li Chen would be in a hurry to jump off the building.
Well? Less about perfumes. Not to be counted, now the raw materials are almost all gone. I was waiting for this voyage to come back, and I could replenish it. As a result, he was detained in Guangzhou and was angry.
'Hey, hey, but somebody. Li Chen snickered, "It's a traverser." 'Hehe, fortunately, Pepe didn't drop the price.' Li Chen said to himself.
Li Chen faced the challenges faced by the theater, not only did he not reduce the price, but imitated those theaters. Taking the low-price route has also increased the price.
In the face of such a dilemma, fighting a price war is not the way. For a product, the things that really make money are those high-end products. In terms of smartphones, Samsung's smartphone sales are much more crazy than Apple's. But Apple earns a lot more than Samsung. No way, who made love crazy that the sales price was higher than Samsung's. It doesn't matter if it's high, people still pay the bill. Li Chen also had this idea, raising the price and completely raising the style.
However, he certainly did not raise the price for no reason. He sacrificed a magic weapon, a thing that is very common in modern times, but Li Chen deliberately kept it until now and put it forward, membership system!!
In the face of the competition of these theaters, Li Chen proposed a membership system. Membership is required for everyone to enter. This membership is not permanently exempt, nor is it free. Instead, you need to spend a certain amount before you can keep it until the following year.
Of course, in order to do so, there must be a corresponding price. Otherwise, who is stupid and will spend money on such a thing.
Li Chen dared to do this because his theater itself was more competitive than other theaters. First of all, there is an endless stream of delicious food, and there is also a continuous innovation of stories. These two points alone are fascinating. The killer is also that opera house. Now it has become a scene in Yangzhou.
From time to time, there will be performances such as jewelry exhibitions, perfume exhibitions, fashion exhibitions, and some well-rehearsed dramas will be staged regularly, which can not be seen from the outside, so it has attracted many high-ranking dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.
Li Chen just gave these people membership cards. As a living signboard or a living advertisement. In this way, the theater will immediately be transformed into a high-end atmosphere and high-grade place, and people who want to know them will squeeze their heads.
And what about those members, will they refuse? Of course not. When they entertain guests, if they want to take people to the theater, will they choose those low-grade ones?
Looking at this report, Li Chen nodded with a full value, and after sacrificing the big killer of the membership system, the income of the theater stabilized. Although the flow of people is much lower than before, the income is higher than before. Fortunately, Zheng Peipei did not rush to reduce the price to compete.
This is equivalent to lowering one's style to the same as those wild road tricks. If Zheng Peipei does this, Li Chen's membership system will be invalid, and when the time comes, Li Chen will probably have to worry a lot about bringing back the lost customers. At this time, Fauber, who came in at some point, spoke, and he gave advice.
'The King. Seeing that Li Chen cared about these things, Fu Bo frowned and said, "The minister thinks that these things are things outside the body, once the king boards the plane and is rich in the world, why should he care about this little profit?" ’
I have plans in my heart, and these are not what you see. After speaking, he smiled again, "Rich in the world? The world is falling apart, is it really rich to be the Son of Heaven? Regarding Fu Bode's suggestion, Li Chen did not ask the other party not to say more, but he did not explain more.
Rich in the world? The annual income of the Tang Emperor was probably better than that of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, not all of those incomes can be used by him, and some basic expenses alone are exhausted every year.
Since he wants to be the emperor, he doesn't want to be an emperor who is trapped by money. His foundation in Yangzhou is well operated, and he may be able to provide him with an income of one million yuan a year, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the current annual income of Datang. So how could he not be paying attention.
When Li Chen and Fu Bo were talking, the ship was also moving slowly, and a huge wall gradually appeared at the end of the Guangtong Canal, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, arrived. A new chapter in Li Chen's life is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
