Chapter 374: This girl seems to be quite cheerful lately

For an afternoon, the residual heat caused by the band continued to ferment.

Many passers-by who listened to the concert began to promote the band on their own, and in just a few hours, Garn Arim became a hot topic in Leather City.

Therefore, more and more people are beginning to look forward to when the next performance will be.

Naturally, Lu Qi will not miss the current heat, since the show has started once, it will not be just once.

His plan was to hold a show for two days in the short term, and then slow down the pace of the show.

It was getting dark.

Downtown, Zaun.

It's like another world, and the bustle of the upper town has nothing to do with it. Although someone came with the news, it was like a stone falling into a large lake, and it did not splash a ripple.

Both cities are developing at their own pace, mostly without interfering with each other.

The Upper Town of Piltover is jointly run by the Councillors, while in the Lower City there is also an underground master.

In a rooftop garden.

There are many fresh greenery planted here, which are set against the colorful glass, and the light is sprinkled on a discussion table.

There are all the gang leaders in the entire lower city, about dozens of people.

And these ten people looked in one direction together at this time.

On the main seat, Hilco was wearing a high-necked robe, his face was relaxed, and his expression was indifferent: "Is this your recent summary?" Overall revenue has gone down? ”

A small leader sat reclining, then replied casually, "Of course, boss." Under your leadership, our city is thriving. I think the decline in overall income means that we are gradually stabilizing. ”

His posture was casual, and he didn't look at Hilco as he spoke.

Hilco thought that he might not have taught his men how to write rules in a long time.

But he didn't care at the moment, and after glancing at the little leader, he said calmly: "For Xiacheng, stability means backwardness. I think it's time for you to reflect on it lately, and I don't want to hear this kind of bad news again in the next wrap-up. ”

"Yes, yes, boss."

The little boss just now nodded and said, "I'll write a review for you when I go back." ”

At this time, another small leader raised his hand and said: "There are still things in my gang that have not been dealt with, so I think the meeting will end here." ”

"yes, there's a lot more to do over there."

The other small boss said the same.

The rest of the people didn't speak, but collectively looked at Hilco.

Shilko didn't look at the three little leaders who spoke, he stood up and straightened his collar, and said lightly: "The meeting is over." ”

He could see that the people in it were impetuous, so there was no need for this meeting to continue.

Soon, one by one, the small leaders left from the rooftop garden.

Hilco and Severica, one after the other, walked out.

Severica, who had been watching the whole meeting, said: "According to our forecast, the overall trend should still be growing." Now it's going down."

Hilco raised his hand, interrupted her words, and said calmly, "It's normal, the most favorite thing a rat does is steal oil." In the face of interests, after a long time, there will always be people who can't settle down. ”

Sevika's face was a little colder, and she continued: "Some time ago, some of my subordinates reported to me that Damus and their hands and feet were not clean. Not only has it expanded its staff, but it seems that it has also made a lot of money in private. ”

Hill's light flashed, but he didn't care, and instead asked, "What about Jinx?" What has she been doing lately? ”

"You don't even know about her, let alone ask me."

Sevica replied angrily, and then said, "Now that they're almost out of their eyes on you, you're still thinking about what that blue-haired girl is doing?" ”

"It's you who are too nervous." Shilka smiled, glanced at her, and said in a cold tone, "A few oil stealing rats, since I can make them stand up, I can also make them kneel." ”

In contrast, he did want to know more about what Jinx had been up to lately.

It seems that he hasn't been to his side for a few days.

That girl has a loose personality and loves to play, and it is not uncommon for her to disappear for a few days.

It's just that Hilco found that he was starting to feel a little bit more or less. Worry?

Strangely enough, Hilco changed the subject: "Is there anything else going on lately?" ”

Sevica thought for a moment and said, "Recently, a force called the Wildfire Gang has emerged out of nowhere, and they have a little technology in their hands. The movements are swift and neat, and two small bosses react, and they have been interfered with by the Wildfire Gang. ”

"Wildfire"

Hilco read the name in his mouth, and after thinking for a moment, "Look them up, it's better to figure out where they come from." ”

"Yes." Sevica nodded, then added, "Then again, you should also let that blue-haired girl do something, she seems to have been idle for a long time." ”

Hilco was silent for a second and said, "Well, I will." ”

Half an hour later.

Hilco pushed open the office door and saw a figure lying bored on the couch inside.

Seeing this, his expression did not change, and after closing the office door, he walked to the desk and asked casually, "When did you come?" ”

"About an hour ago?" Jinx yawned, sat up, and stretched comfortably.

Hilco noticed that she was in a good mood, and her face was a little refreshed, and her eyes were shining, and she seemed to have been quite happy lately.

Maybe it's a delusion, Hilco feels that he hasn't seen the happiness of this age in the eyes of this girl for a long time.

He picked up a cigar, trimmed it, lit it and took a puff, then spit it out and asked, "What have you been doing in the last few days?" ”

"Found something interesting to do, didn't I tell you last time?"

Jinx said that she thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Oh yes, I think I forgot to say it, but it's interesting anyway." ”

"Yes." Hilco smiled faintly, wanting to ask what was interesting.

But in the end, he didn't ask, and remembered what Sevica had just said, thought for a while and said, "Recently."

"I've been busy lately." It just so happened that Jinx also spoke at this time, "So I'll talk to you first." ”

Shilka didn't finish his words and nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

Jinx glanced at him and asked, "Is there anything you want me to do?" ”

"Not at the moment." Shilka replied calmly, "You're busy with you, I'll let you know if there's something." ”

"Okay." Jinx smiled heartily, waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go first, see you later." ”

Shilka smiled, "I'll see you later." ”

With a relaxed and cheerful step, Jinx pushed open the office door, her back disappearing from Shilka's eyes as the door slowly closed.

Taking a puff of his cigar and exhaling a cloud of mist, Shilka slowly put away the smile on his face.

But maybe even he didn't pay attention, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little curvature.

This girl seems to be quite cheerful lately.

He's not usually a person who can be emotionally contagious, but he still seems to be affected a little.

He thought about it, the matter at hand, even if he didn't need her, he could solve it.

Then there's no need to do anything more.

In contrast, he was a little curious, what this girl has been obsessed with recently, and he didn't explain it to him when she came back this time.

Meanwhile, a bar in Downtown.

The three mini-bosses led by Dammus gathered here, and they also invited another minor boss named Kangda to be present.

After Kangda entered the private room, he glanced left and right, with a cold face, stood up and asked, "What are you looking for me for?" ”

Dams lit a cigarette, took a slow puff, and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”

"I don't have that much time, long story short." Conda sat down suspiciously, and one of them poured him a glass of wine, which he did not pick up. Just frowned and looked at the three of them, waiting for them to speak.

Dammus asked aloud at this time, "How many years have you been following Hilco?" ”

"Seven years." Kangda didn't refuse to answer, but his eyes were still looking at the three of them.

"Seven years, if you count the time, you are also a senior generation. Longer than we've worked together. ”

A smile appeared on Dams's face, and he said, "You have been under the people for so long, haven't you ever thought of breaking away from him?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Conda's brow furrowed, "If it weren't for Hilco, how would we be where we are now?" ”

"Yes, you're right, and I don't refute that." Damus looked at Conda as if he could see through his heart, "The development of the lower city is indeed indispensable to Hilco's credit. But have you ever thought that the position we are in today is not given by him, but by what we should have? ”

"He's just got a foothold in this place before we did, and we walked out of the crowd after him, so we're always going to be a head down to him."

"I think you understand this feeling best, I remember that Hilco became the master of the lower city only seven or eight years ago."

"At the time. Who is in charge of the lower city? I remember it was. Fandel, yes, you were still doing things for Fandel at that time. ”

Dams's words kept falling in the quiet box, and Conda listened in silence from beginning to end.

"Ever since I met you, I've always felt that you are a very unique person. So during that period, you decisively took refuge in Hilco. ”

As Dams spoke, a cigarette had been smoked and smoke wafted from the box, "Hilko overthrew Fandel, and you have succeeded in becoming one of his fierce men." Sitting on a piece of territory, but it seems that this is the end of it. ”

"Over the years, there have been more and more people on your side, and you have not made any progress. I think you've found out too. ”

Dams lit a new cigarette, but this time not for himself, but to Conda, "Hilko doesn't believe you, because you're Fandel's old ministry. ”

Conda took the cigarette and remained silent, still not speaking.

"I want to ask you, have you ever thought about it for so many years. The one who stood up to overthrow Van Del in the first place, if not Hilco, but you. Then that position is yours now. ”

Dams smiled faintly.

Kangda said: "What's the point of talking about this now? ”

"I would say that it's not too late." Dams kept a smile on his face, "That seat Hilco can sit, and so can we." ”

"I think you're fed up with the feeling of being controlled everywhere, and right now you're the most senior, and if you stand up, you'll be recognized by a lot of people. Get rid of Hilco, and from now on, we will be in charge of our own affairs. ”

Conda lowered her head and fell into deep thought, her expression as if she was engaged in a psychological struggle.

Seeing that he was still struggling, Damus continued: "Even after all these years, Hilko still wants to fight against Shangcheng. At the speed of development of the city, I think you can also see that it is not wise to continue the fight. ”

"Every time they have a conflict, it is always us who suffers. Your territory is close to the Pilt River, which is why I remember two years ago you made a proposal to avoid conflict with the Upper Town. But it was ignored by Hilco. ”

"Just imagine why he gave that territory to you. If one day, the conflict between the two sides escalates, the law enforcement officers of Leather City will choose where to attack first. ”

At this point, Dams said no more.

Kangda's expression was gloomy for a while, and after half a sound, he clenched his fists and raised his head, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"There's no hurry." Damus smiled at this, raised his glass, and motioned to Conda, "Now we are in the same boat." ”

Kangda also raised his glass and touched it with the three of them, his eyes flickering.

Two days later.

The second concert was coming to an end, and there were far more people than the last. The atmosphere continued to rise, the cheers rose and fell like a wave, and the warm atmosphere washed away the chill in the air.

At this level of popularity, some of the surrounding vendors selling fruits, snacks, and drinks were sold out almost in the blink of an eye, and the traffic of the shops in the surrounding streets also increased dramatically.

Now everyone can see that this band that has held two concerts in just one short period of time, Garn Arem will directly become a hot new star in Leather City.

In the background.

Ivo looked at Lu Qi with admiration on his face, and said: "Your Highness is really ahead of your time, and in Picheng today, I'm afraid that there are only a few people who don't know Garn Arem." ”

After watching the first performance, he had a hunch that this band was destined to be a hit.

It's just that when I saw this day come in a flash, I was still shocked.

At this time, in the square outside, at least 30,000 spectators gathered. There are still more audiences that can't be squeezed in, and Stellar Square can't hold so many people anymore, and they have to find a bigger place for the band again.

You know, it's just a band that's just played twice.

After thinking about it for a while, Ivo still said with a little worry: "According to the popularity of the band, is the ticket price set for the next performance too low?" I think even if the ticket price is a little higher, people will definitely be willing to accept it. ”

Both of these pre-performances are free, but tickets will be available for future concerts.

Fares vary depending on the location. However, the ticket in the front row is only five gold coins.

It can already be said that it is the price of cabbage.

"The reason why tickets are sold is just to stabilize order." Lu Qi sat in his chair, took a sip of tea calmly, and then continued, "I don't expect to make money from this, and the real place to make money is not here." ”

If the ticket sales model is not started, the scenes of the next few performances can already be expected.

The crowd squeezed in chaotically, there was no order at all, and there were bound to be various accidents at that time.

Hearing this, Ivo was puzzled: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"That's why I called you." Lu Qi glanced sideways at him and said, "Next, we will grandly launch the band-related merchandise." For example, vermicelli sticks, shoes of the same style, clothes. As long as there is heat, we can easily make an item hot in the city. ”

When he said this, Ivo would be greatly inspired.

His eyes lit up and he said, "I understand what His Highness means." ”

It seems that this way is easier to make money, and if the ticket price is set too expensive, it will definitely be controversial in the future.

Bands that are close to the people are no longer close to the people, and they will inevitably lose some fans.

But the launch of the peripherals is different, whether to buy or not depends on the individual. As long as a person likes a band, he will definitely buy more and more band merchandise.

Therefore, as long as the band is more popular, the more these peripherals will be sold.

"You helped with publicity last time, and you helped me a lot." Lu Qi looked at him with a smile on his face, "So this time, I found you for the first time with this opportunity." Next, you will be mainly responsible for the production of various things around, creating revenue and sharing it with you and me. ”

Ivorton was overjoyed, and he bowed in flattery: "Thank you very much for Your Highness's lifting, I will definitely not let Your Highness down." ”

There is no doubt that with the popularity of the band at the moment, no matter what you do, it is a big money business.

And that's not even the main thing.

The most important thing is that since then, he has an extra layer of identity as a partner with this prince.

That's what really counts!

Ivo was glad he had taken it seriously, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity.

Lu Qi thought for a while, and then explained: "Next, you go and find a bigger venue for the band, if the site is suitable, you can buy it directly." When the time comes, make it open, the bigger the better. ”

"Yes."

Ivo immediately took orders.

"Also, you go and get in touch with the owner of a music workshop these days." "It's good business, too, and you can work with them." Mass production of guitar, bass, drum kit three instruments, these are also a kind of peripherals. ”

There is no doubt that with the popularity of the band, three novel instruments are also being noticed.

There will definitely be a lot of people interested.

Ivo actually noticed the three instruments, and immediately nodded, "I see." ”

Soon, with the successful conclusion of the second performance, the audience was still unsatisfied.

But even if it dissipates, the residual heat of the concert is still there, and the band has always become a hot topic in people's mouths.

Everyone can meet it, and in a short period of time, this phenomenon will not go away.
