Chapter 124: Midnight Rainstorm
The second suitable business is to make a restaurant, so far on the street of Duge Township, there is not a decent restaurant, nor a decent restaurant, but in addition to the investment of funds, there is also a market problem.
Duge Township is a backward and remote township, and those who can really afford to spend money to go into the restaurant and rub it off, except for the poor number of public servants and businessmen, there is no other source of customers, and even if they do, if they consume themselves, they only do it occasionally.
In addition, local banquets are never included, and they are all made at their own homes, which makes consumption even more restrictive. Maybe it will be a few years before the industry becomes more appropriate.
The third is to make a bigger clothing store.
Most of the time people in Duge Township buy clothes, they wait for small traders from outside the world to bring in the goods, and there are clothing stores on the street, but the number is small and the style is not novel.
Before Hu Mingchen was reborn, one of Hu Yandie's classmates opened a clothing store of more than 200 square meters on the street, which had a very good business and almost became the first choice for locals to buy clothes.
But there is a trouble for Hu Mingchen, he has no experience in running a clothing business, and he needs to go to coastal cities to get goods frequently, which is not convenient for Hu Mingchen.
Hu Mingchen thought about the same thing and began to think that it was feasible, but then he gradually overthrew it.
It is not easy to find a business that is novel, has a local market, and comes in relatively quickly.
Just when Hu Mingchen racked his brains and couldn't do anything, he had an idea and thought of a video hall that had never appeared in Duge Township, but was currently very popular in ---the city.
During the summer vacation, when he was helping Wang Zhan sell products, Hu Mingchen found that the streets of Liangcheng City were full of video halls, the big ones could seat dozens or hundreds of people, and the small ones could sit more than a dozen people in people's homes.
The fees range from one or two to five, one or two is an ordinary bench and watches a TV, while the price of five is a chair and a laser screen.
Hu Mingchen observed by himself that there are at least thirty or forty such video halls in Liangcheng, large and small, as long as the location is not too problematic, the business is good.
In Duge Township, cultural life is extremely scarce, and many villages have no electricity, and even if there is electricity on the street, you can watch TV, but the number of TV stations you can watch is very limited.
Hu Mingchen believes that if he opens a video hall on the street, business should not be too bad.
And the operation of the video hall is relatively simple, the investment is not large, find a larger house, put one or two large-size TVs, a few rows of chairs, a VCD, rent some discs, basically it's OK.
And this investment is not big, Hu Mingchen can do it.
Although there is that kind of laser screen in the city, Hu Mingchen never thought of making a laser hall, not to mention that the investment will be relatively large, and it is not very suitable for the environment and market of Duge Township.
For the people of Duge Township, as long as they can see those wonderful films, they don't care whether the environment is good, whether the screen is big, whether the lighting is appropriate, whether there is air conditioning. Relatively speaking, they care more about the price, and if the price is expensive, they simply can't afford it.
The more Hu Mingchen thought about this direction, the more feasible he felt, and before he fell asleep, he basically determined that opening a video hall was the best choice at present.
After finding the next direction, Hu Mingchen, who was tired for a day, couldn't hold his eyelids anymore and entered his dream heavily.
Hu Mingchen, who has never dreamed, did have a long, long dream tonight.
In the dream, he dreamed of the peach blossoms all over the mountain for a while, dreamed of his magnificent video hall for a while, and then later, he actually dreamed that he had become a hero who could fly the eaves and walk the wall.
This hero was able to fly down from the cliff and rescue a caravan that had been robbed by robbers, but he would be chased by several men in black who were not very strong in martial arts.
Running and running, somehow, like a big earthquake behind him, on the mountain behind him, the cliff collapsed, not only made a deafening loud noise, but also those huge rolling stones chased his ass all the way and rolled and collided, so frightened that Hu Mingchen didn't dare to look back, and ran in horror to the place he thought was safe, hating himself for missing two legs.
However, human power is very small in front of nature, and no matter how much Hu Mingchen ran in his dream, he could not escape his doom. Just when he thought that it would be safe to climb over a hill, the others stood on the top of the hill and saw not a safe zone, but on the contrary, the bottom of the hill had become a cliff, and below the cliff was an endless ocean. There is a way that is a disaster that does not go alone, and Hu Mingchen in the dream didn't have time to think about how a rough sea suddenly appeared, and a terrible torrent appeared behind him.
Seeing the torrent that was a thousand times more terrifying than the beast rushing towards him mixed with boulders, Hu Mingchen trembled in horror, it's over, it's all over.
"Ahh
Fortunately, fortunately, it was a dream, ouch mom, I scared Lao Tzu to death. Hu Mingchen was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, glad that he did not really die in the catastrophe that could never be recovered.
......Suddenly, a deafening thunder sounded, pulling Hu Mingchen's thoughts from his dream to reality.
At this time, Hu Mingchen noticed that there was not only lightning and thunder outside the house, but also heavy rain.
It turned out that Hu Mingchen's dream was a conditioned reflex of the actual situation.
The raindrops crackled the roof tiles, and the squeaky sound of the not so solid walls in the wind made a creaking sound that sounded like hell, if not creepy.
And beside Hu Mingchen, there was a crisp ticking sound, which reminded Hu Mingchen that his room was leaking rain.
Sitting up, Hu Mingchen lit the candle on the small table next to the bed. The wind pouring in from the gap in the wall blew the candle flame crookedly, flickering bright and dark, and Hu Mingchen had nothing to do with those winds, even if his hand couldn't stop protecting the candle, but if the candle was extinguished, he would not be surprised.
Under the dim candlelight, Hu Mingchen saw that not only was the foot of his bed leaking, but the rain was dripping down like a string of pearls, completely wetting his shoes, and the not thick walls were also constantly soaked in, flowing down the mottled walls silently.
Suddenly, with a "boom", the back wall of Hu Mingchen's house made a loud muffled sound as if it had been hit by a rhinoceros.
Hu Mingchen hurriedly put down the candle, got up from the bed and stepped on the ground barefoot.
Years of experience have told him that the ridge behind his house has collapsed under the rain.
The back alley of Hu Mingchen's house is only one meter away from a piece of land, and the sill of that land is more than 4 meters high, almost the same as the roof of his house, because there is no fort to build a fort, and the lack of consolidation of tree roots, as long as it rains heavily, it may go down, I remember that once, Hu Mingchen's old house was almost washed down by the collapsed sand.
Stepping on the ground coldly, Hu Mingchen pounced on the back wall and pushed the old wooden window open a crack, just as there was a lightning bolt in the sky, through the short irradiation of electric light, Hu Mingchen saw that the back alley of his house was not only filled with a pile of thin mud, but also a small river-like mountain water poured down from above, constantly rushing down with mud and sand.
At ......the same time, Hu Mingchen's door was rudely knocked.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, hurry up, hurry up......" Before Hu Mingchen could open the door, Jiang Yucai's anxious voice came from outside the door.
"Mom......" Hu Mingchen ran over to pull the latch and opened the door, but he only had time to shout before he was interrupted by Jiang Yucai.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, come out, go to the outside of the hall, our house is afraid to fall ......" Jiang Yucai pulled Hu Mingchen up and rushed out.
"Where's my dad?" asked Hu Mingchen eagerly.
"Your dad went around to the back to see the situation, the water is too big, and there is already a foot on the kitchen side, you go out quickly......" Jiang Yucai's usual strength is not very large, but her current hand strength is surprisingly strong, not only pinching Hu Mingchen can't break free, but also his arm is a little painful.
Under the current circumstances, of course Hu Mingchen will not care about those, he knows that this power is precisely the real manifestation of maternal love.
A person who is currently for the sake of children, often in a hurry, will burst out of potential that has never been there.
"Mom, then I'll call my sister and Xiaojiao, they're still in the house. ”
"You hurry out, they will call, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to go back, you don't hear ......"
In fact, Jiang Yucai didn't care whether Hu Mingchen heard it or not, where could he have time to communicate so much at such a critical moment. After pulling open the door and pushing Hu Mingchen out, Jiang Yucai hurriedly called Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao.
The outside of the house was dark, and in the absence of lightning, he couldn't see his fingers, and the cold and dense rain instantly drenched Hu Mingchen's whole body. Correspondingly, Hu Mingchen also became calm and sober.
Hu Mingchen didn't turn around and enter the house, it wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that he knew that if he went back, it might add to the burden and chaos. All he had to do now was to guard the door, keep the gate open, and not let the strong wind close it, so that his mother and sisters could come out.
A minute later, Jiang Yucai came out of the house with Hu Yujiao and Hu Yandie with her left and right hands, the two of them did not wear shoes, and the frightened Hu Yujiao also cried.
