13 Career Creation
Under Ho Ting-yin's explanation, Lard Boy was also full of ambition to be infected, and the two lifted the projector to an open space at the intersection of Shek Kip Mei Road that night to sell tickets for the screening.
At nine o'clock in the evening, a wooden signboard of the "Movie Dollar Shop" was inserted in the mud floor, surrounded by a simple fence, and more than 50 wooden chairs were placed in the open space of the circle, all of which were temporarily borrowed from neighbors for the sake of face.
A waterproof tent was erected to prevent the machine from being damaged on rainy days, so that the dollar store could be opened on rainy days, and by the way, it could also prevent people from peeking in.
These things don't cost dozens of dollars, but it takes more effort, but fortunately, they can be used for a long time, the key is how to keep the territory of the "dollar store", and how to make the people of the estate accept the truth that they can collect tickets by enclosing a piece of land.
He Dingxian was wearing a green military uniform with a baton hanging from his waist, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and spit the smoke into the face of a village resident in front of him: "This is a place to do business, selling movies, if you want to watch it, you can buy a ticket, and if you don't watch it, you will get out." ”
The villagers' dark faces were unconvinced, and they replied in a stiff voice: "If you want to use this land for the activities of the villagers, you have to get the consent of all the villagers!" ”
"Are you here to cause trouble?" He Dingxian asked with a flick of cigarette ash.
The villagers looked at the five uniformed policemen behind He Dingxian, two of whom had already put their hands on the batons, and there was a look of fear in his eyes: "I'm reasoning with you." ”
He Dingxian smiled: "Who reasoned with you?" The reason is useful, you go and reason with the British government in Hong Kong! I, a uniformed policeman, unexpectedly patrolled here, I don't want anyone to cause trouble, I hope you give face. ”
"After all, our job is to manage law and order!"
The villagers showed hatred and planned to continue to defend themselves, but they had been dragged away by the villagers around them, Qian Weishan, Daji, Ah Le, Yaohui, and Sha Pei, five uniformed policemen were already standing behind him.
Daji lost the management of the gambling stall on Shanghai Street, and even took a few of his younger brothers to do things with He Dingxian.
He Dingxian notified Qian Weishan before opening, and Qian Weishan called a few people to Shi Kip Wei together.
Six rotten boys in military uniforms lined up in front and back, and anyone who wants to find trouble has to think about it, at least no one in black and white will come to trouble because of a small business of "one dollar".
Either you can't mess with them, or you look down on a dollar business, how much power you have, and how much money you make.
The business of the dollar store was just what he could eat, which is why He Dingxian would choose the dollar store to start, otherwise he would not be lucky even if he scraped together enough capital, and now as long as the dollar store can operate well, the advantage will snowball.
"What a card rotten boy!" The villagers who went away muttered, but the lard boy who was adjusting the machine behind him was happy: "It's comfortable to have a backer to do things." ”
If he were to do it, the same business would not work.
At half past nine, the first movie "Three Smiles" will be screened, and the villagers who come and go can see that the dollar store is up, and the news of watching the movie soon spread all over Shi Kipwei, and some people come forward one after another to ask about the ticket price, and they are very surprised to learn that it is really one yuan a ticket, and some young men and women who have not seen the movie have been a little moved.
Young people deserve to be loyal fans of the cinema, even if they are the offspring of the housing estate, they also think that the cinema is a good place to pick up girls.
What's more, in an era when everyone hasn't seen a movie, spending a dollar to invite a favorite girl to watch a movie brings a very different sense of experience, just like opening a magic trick in a bar in later generations, opening fake wine and playing real girls, it is simply worth the money.
Qian Weishan stepped forward and came to the chief's side, compared the slashing action with his hand, and said: "Brother Xian, do you want to remove a leg from that aging person who is looking for trouble, and let the person in Shi Kipwei know that it is powerful?" ”
If he didn't dare to shoot at a brand with a background, he was very brave to bully people from the housing village without a background.
He Dingxian glanced back at him: "They are all from a housing village, and they are still Chaoshan villagers when they listen to their accents, why don't they unload a leg at every turn?" Do you think he's a bully, or do you think I'm inhuman? ”
"No......" Qian Weishan said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm just afraid that you will be angry." ”
"I'm here to do business, to make money." The reason why He Dingxian chose to dig the first pot of gold in Zhengxing is that on the one hand, he wants to use the vision brought by modern knowledge, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce future risks.
Twenty years of making black money, making clean money and majestic, a fool knows how to choose, not to mention that he has walked through the side door in his last life, knows the harm of the side door, and even has the idea of whitewashing in northern Myanmar, but because he can't find a backer in the guest country, and offended too many people, he has to go deeper and deeper.
In this life, it is natural to use the skin on the body to the extreme, and there are special advantages in being a righteous policeman, and it is more effective to speak at the same level than to get out of the way.
Because, a uniformed policeman can get out of the way, and a double-flower red stick in the community can not dump you, and a military-uniformed policeman is right, and the double-flower red stick also has to give a little face, of course, in the eyes of the real tycoon, the errand and thief are all working for the rich, and there is no systematic business group, and there is no place in the mixed Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, in He Dingxian's heart, making money is more important than errands, which are just a means to gain power and safeguard interests.
Qian Weishan said two words of compliment, and then waved his hand to call Daji, Ah Le, Yaohui, and Sha Pei to come forward and introduce: "Brother Xian, this is Brother Da Ji, who was in charge of Shanghai Street before, as well as his horses Chen Jiale, Tan Yaohui, and Sha Pei. ”
"Brother Xian, it's good if you call me Aki." Daji lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and spoke in a cautious tone, and Chen Jiale also said: "Brother Xian, just call me Ah Le." ”
"Brother Xian, just call me Hui Zai." Tan Yaohui said. Sha Pei said: "Brother Xian, my name is Li Zhitang, nicknamed Sha Pei. ”
"Okay." He Dingxian nodded: "I listen to my own accents, and I won't be polite to you, but Brother Da Ji is a senior in the police force, and there are many things that I still need to ask you for, so I still have to shout Brother Ji." ”
He handed out the cigarettes to the five of them, and turned back to the position of the lard boy: "This is also our brother in the same village, who wants to mix a bite to eat in Xiangjiang, and see if there is anything in the future, I will help in the face." ”
Daji picked up his cigarette and made it clear: "Brother Xian's brother is our eldest brother, and the brothers will never say a word." ”
"Brother Xian, you can rest assured." Ah Le, Sha Pei, and Yao Hui also said.
Chaoshan people are born to hold groups outside, and with the orders of the chief, a few people will definitely help with their hearts, as for who owns this movie dollar store, does it matter?
He Dingxian planned to try the ability of lard boy in the grass creation period, if he could take care of the bright business to lard boy in the future, he was only responsible for collecting money in the early stage, and he could hold the company in the later stage, and he could leave a step room if he encountered any trouble.
He took his colleagues to eat a bowl of Che Tsai noodles nearby, and when he returned, it was already half past ten, and by eleven o'clock the first movie of the "One Dollar Shop" was shown.
