『Click on the chapter to report an error』
Dührin was now the first person in the world of moonshine, and he did not take any coercive action to shut down the private, unlicensed breweries, nor did he kill them all through violent and brutal means. He just gave a part of the benefits to another group of strong and aggressive people, and these strong people, prompted by the interests, took the initiative to stand up for Durin and carry these notorieties and help him do what he wanted to do.
Now there are two situations in the moonshine industry when it comes to Doolin, the first and most common, and that is to keep silent. No one knew if there were any people from Durin around him, or if there were Guartes with ears that were about to touch the moon, and it would be too bad for them to show up because they or some other stupid companions had said something less respectful.
So most of the time, the name Doolin is the most taboo word for these non-Doolin group moonshiners and conduits.
The second situation is the worship of Chiguoguo, young people prefer to worship their peers, and they have a complete admiration for Durin, and even think that if they have the opportunity, they can become a winner in life like Durin. There are also some people who want to follow Durin, but it is a pity that all the middle and lower levels of Durin's interest group are Gualts, and only those new big capitalists can not pay attention to their status.
But there is also one thing that these people should pay attention to and admire, that is, for the Gualts in Duhring's interest group, no matter what their identity or class, Duhrin defines them as "family", and those big capitalists are just his partners!
Such a legendary man of mind would naturally arouse the curiosity and fanatical admiration of some of his peers, and as long as there was a business in which Durin was involved, everyone was willing to follow his rules of the game.
Worship him and fear him.
The faint change on the stage as he spoke, those girls from primitive tribes sweated profusely and bowed in thanks, and left the stage with greasy bodies, making the guests in the audience somewhat unforgettable, these girls were so pitiful, some took the initiative to let the waiter contact the girls on their behalf, intending to help them financially after the end.
The programs in the bar are not always those things that are close to the people, but also some elegant things, and the way to make money in such a high-end bar is not so naïve as letting those skilled women and young ladies who are easy to sweat go on stage to tickle. They elevate the bar to other things, such as drinks, service, pastries and even light meals.
A steak that costs up to two dollars outside can be sold for eight yuan here, so don't be too expensive, it's already the cheapest simple meal.
About five minutes later, a woman in a royal blue shiny floor-length dress walked onto the stage, and the moment she appeared, the bar was cheered and whistled one after another.
Du Lin looked at the excited agent next to him a little strangely and asked, "This woman is famous?"
The agent was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained, "Her name is Celine, the hottest singer in the empire at the moment, and she won the trophy for the best female singer in pop music at the Imperial Art Golden Melody Awards that ended in October......"
With the agent's explanation, Du Lin gradually understood, isn't it a singer? Of course, this singer is a little different from those academic singers, she was born in the wild. Her family is a very "ordinary" farming and pastoral family, with farms and pastures at home, and she often rode cattle to sing in the pasture when she was a child. After three years of schooling, when war broke out, she had to return home to help her parents and brother with the farm.
After the war, about two or three years ago, several purchasers from the imperial capital heard her singing when they went to her family's farm to negotiate a large sale, and then recommended her to a record company, and then made her debut.
With an ethereal voice that has the power to penetrate people's souls, she soon became popular and became known as the soul singer. However, because she did not go to a special art school and did not have an excellent family background, she has been rejected by the Imperial Art Golden Melody Award. Until this year, a large number of fans marched and protested outside the office of the Organizing Committee of the Imperial Art Golden Melody Awards, and a few old guys spoke to let her get the trophy, which completely detonated the entire music scene, and even the federal side continued to send invitations to the empire, inviting her to sing live and hold concerts.
As far as the current market price is concerned, the price of Celine's appearance has risen to 20,000 yuan, and she only sings one song!
Durin couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this, this is actually a manifestation of economic recovery, when people can fill their stomachs and don't need to worry about being frozen, they will start to find ways to waste the little money in their pockets to pursue spiritual enjoyment. He heard from Mason that Turnier's wages had risen from ten to fifteen dollars almost three years ago to a minimum of twenty-two.
The rapid economic recovery has also brought many drawbacks, the most important but also the most overlooked is inflation, people only feel that they have more money in their pockets than in the past, thus ignoring that this money may not be as valuable as in the past. In the past, a glass of spirits in a bar cost about one dollar, but now you can't drink it without two or three dollars. In a high-end bar like this, the price of a glass of high-altitude wine is about four yuan, which is actually very distorted.
As Celine's stage bar quickly quieted down, the moment she opened her mouth, it was as if a special force pierced everyone's eardrums and went straight to the depths of her soul! That ethereal and clear voice instantly took every guest who heard her singing out of this "small" bar, to the endless prairie, and flew into the boundless sky.
It makes people feel as if they are between heaven and earth, and you can hug the whole world with your hand!
Durin closed his eyes, and the voice continued to echo in his body until the song slowly ended, leaving behind an afterglow that was also addictive.
He finally understood that it was not because the market was sick that he could earn 20,000 yuan by singing a song, but because there were indeed people who were worth the price.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the thirty-twelve-year-old woman on the stage smiled and bowed slightly, but did not leave the stage immediately, and people couldn't help but expect her to sing again.
At this time, a group of young people went up the stairs on the side of the main door to the private room on the second floor, which was actually equivalent to a larger booth, usually with thirty-five seats and four large tables, as well as four small square one-legged tables. A young man looked at Celine on the stage a little unexpectedly, and a look of remorse suddenly appeared on his face, "We're late, Celine has already sung!"
The other young people suddenly regretted that they had come a little slower, and that the streets were not as car-free as they usually are, but were full of cars. On the first day of the new year, there will inevitably be many people who choose to leave the house and go out on this special night, and some shopping malls are also on sale, slightly blocked for ten minutes, but I didn't expect the most important program to be missed!
At this time, a black-haired guy smiled and reassured everyone, "It's okay, I'll go discuss with her and see if I can sing another song!", he said as he asked everyone to sit down and left the room with the waiter.
His father was a tobacco merchant, and the tobacco industry was definitely a barely satisfying industry a few years ago, but with the economic recovery in recent years, urban construction has accelerated the expansion of demand for labor, and a large number of young people from the countryside have entered the city. Having lost the place and freedom to grow their own tobacco leaves, they changed from growing tobacco leaves themselves to buying finished cigarettes, which sharply boosted the overall market of the tobacco industry and created a large number of tobacco enterprise upstarts.
The father of the young man, Ramazin, was one of them.
This year's net profit has exceeded 7 million, which is the sum of the net income of the past six years, which also gives him the confidence to say this.
It's nothing more than money, 20,000 yuan for a song is not expensive!
Ramazan soon came backstage and explained the situation to the manager of the bar, and the bar manager was also very much in favor of this, anyway, if you don't want the bar to pay for it, you can still let Celine sing one more song, and the promotion of the bar is also very good, and he immediately introduced Celine's agent to Ramazin.
Celine's economist is a woman in her forties, wearing a pair of eyes, a little high cheekbones, a little pointed chin, and she looks like she is not very easy to mess with.
"Hello, lady......", Ramazan stretched out his hand first, and the agent glanced at it, casually reached out and shook it and separated.
In fact, she doesn't like such a place very much, it is chaotic and full of sin, which will have a certain impact on Celine's image. If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the bar and an old gentleman who brought Celine with him knew him, and the old gentleman mentioned the matter a little, Celine would not have come to sing on such an occasion.
The agent quickly focused on the schedule for the past few days and casually asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Her attitude can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad, Ramazan frowned, and said, "I hope I can ask Ms. Celine to sing another song, the price is not a problem!"
The agent raised his head slightly and glanced at Ramazin, and laughed, his smile was a little sarcastic, "Money, young man, money doesn't mean anything, and Miss Celine definitely earns more than you think, it's not a matter of money, there is no such clause in the contract, so I can't promise you!"
"Thirty thousand, one song, can't delay you and Ms. Celine much!"
"Don't you understand what I just said? It's not about money!"
