After the wedding, the Chang family thanked Yang Weifan endlessly.
In addition, they made a special trip to visit Director Song's house every few days, and then went to the east courtyard of Guanyin Yuan to visit Hong Yanwu's parents and several neighbors, and distributed the gifts they brought to each family.
However, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had been running back and forth and leading all of this, did not express anything.
And Hong Yanwu did the same to Yang Weifan.
Although it was later learned that this kid's biological mother was the full-time leader of the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe". In order to invite the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe", he did not hesitate to use his mother's name this time. If the secret was exposed later, the consequences would be serious.
But Hong Yanwu still didn't say a word of thanks. He just called Yang Weifan to live in a small bungalow in Furuli for three days and treated him to a few home-cooked meals.
Then he and Chen Liquan put the boy on the train back to Bincheng. When leaving, they just bought some pickles from Liubiju and two pounds of jasmine tea as gifts.
This is not because they don’t know etiquette or are ungrateful. It’s because of true friendship, just a few words of thanks are not enough to repay it. The most real deep friendship like this will be deeply remembered for a lifetime, forever.
It will not be measured by utilitarian gains and losses.
However, what surprised Hong Yanwu was that He Jiefu actually started to help the Chang family without receiving the stamps. This made him feel a little confused about this old boy.
So, he deliberately found an opportunity to visit He's house, hoping to find out what the old man really thought.
As a result, He Jiefu always inquired about the specific relationship between him, Director Song and Yang Weifan, intentionally or unintentionally, and he finally understood.
This old boy didn't really change his gender. He just developed a speculative mentality that could lead to further friendship after discovering his "relationship network".
But he was also happy to see that it was not a bad thing for the Chang family to have this help after all. So he complimented He Jiefu greatly for his "righteous deeds of rescuing people in need" and repeatedly expressed that his promise would not change. Once he found the stamp
It will be delivered to He Jiefu immediately.
In this way, the meeting finally ended in an unprecedentedly friendly atmosphere.
This is the most common state in interpersonal relationships. Everyone knows it is fake, but because everyone has their own needs, no one will really point it out. Instead, everyone uses their best to act and strive to create a seemingly real situation.
Just a beautiful illusion.
But who can blame this? Not everyone can be honest and honest, that's the nature of life.
In the month of May in Beijing, two news events with great repercussions occurred in the society. One was that Beijing TV Station officially changed its name to China Central Television, and the other was that Guangming Daily published a special commentator's article "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
》.
However, although these two incidents have far-reaching influence and are hotly discussed by the general public, Hong Yanwu has no intention of paying attention to them.
Because during this month, although he no longer had to worry about the affairs of the Chang family, the situation suddenly changed and his "vote scalping business" began to encounter obstacles. He had to pay attention to it since the beginning of the month.
On your own "career".
To be honest, in April, even though Hong Yanwu didn't worry about it at all, his people were willing to work hard and their methods became more and more skillful, and the ticket revenue still achieved new glory.
Each of the eight theaters achieved more than double the ticket sales profit, so that the overall gross profit for the month was nearly 50,000 yuan.
Then Hong Yanwu also fulfilled his promise and spent an extra 10,000 yuan to give out "group prizes". As a result, the income of the "ticket dealers" has reached a higher level.
Among the grassroots staff, the "old people" received at least 200 yuan, and the "newcomers" also received 100 yuan and up. The nine "leaders" each received a bonus of 1,500 yuan.
As for "Xiao Leizi", the tide also rose that month. Hong Yanwu asked his "little wife" to send him 2,000 yuan. As for his and Chen Liquan's net income, it was as much as 20,000 yuan.
It can be said that everyone is happy and all the teammates are extremely excited.
But precisely because of this, the huge profits contained in movie tickets began to be stolen by thieves.
In fact, this situation has begun to emerge as early as the end of March.
In front of the eight cinemas in Xuanwu District, some "ruffians" and "miscellaneous people" from the street appeared one after another to fish in troubled waters.
But because Hong Yanwu had already made arrangements for this, and these people were all stragglers, every time they stretched out their hands, they were promptly noticed by the "caregivers" everywhere.
As a result, without exception, the "paws" that were eager to try were "chopped off".
When some "cowards" saw being surrounded by several men with fierce eyes, they wanted to kneel down on the spot and call them grandpa and take the initiative to give away their tickets.
Such people are smart, they can avoid disaster by losing money, and they will only get a few scoldings in the end, but they will not be beaten.
On the contrary, there were also those who were ungrateful. Anyone who dared to fight or challenge was taken into the alley next to them and had their minds educated with their fists.
In the end, not only did he end up with a bruised nose and face, but the money and tickets in his pocket were also used as "tuition fees". He learned that "a good man does not suffer immediate losses" and learned that "cannot disturb the Tai Sui".
Of course, occasionally there will be a few characters with some "background" who bump into the "net".
For example, the two distant nephews of "Ma Laosi" under "Baoqiang" in Niujie, the nephew of "Little Suanzao", the fourth brother of "Baofu" under "Big Laofi", as well as "Bacha" and "Little Landlord"
The few lively "little Buddhas" under his command are also masters who "offended taboos".
But beating a dog depends on the owner, and you cannot treat them in a simple and rough way.
The specific method Hong Yanwu gave to his subordinates was to first identify the true and false ones. Needless to say, those who were false would be punished twice as much. If they were true, the tickets would be bought at the original price, and then they would be given a stern warning and the person would be released.
, so as not to create new hatred over this matter.
In addition, depending on the situation, whoever has an honest attitude and seems to be a good candidate for this industry can be recruited into the team. This will not only enhance the friendship, but also increase the reserve force.
In this way, except for the "Bacha" and the "Little Buddha" under the "Little Landlord", they already have "hands" and cannot join the Shanmen.
Other loose members of the "player circle", the two distant nephews of "Ma Laosi", the nephew of "Little Suanzao", and even the fourth brother of "Baofu" who had a grudge against Hong Yanwuduo, all joined this large group and became a group.
The person who followed Hong Yanwu to share the ticketing benefits.
It's a pity that this method can only delay the conflict for a while. As the saying goes, "a big tree attracts wind", in the face of truly huge interests, the real "players" will never stop because of the other party giving face or the risk of bloodshed.
of.
The turning point when this conflict completely erupted was in mid-April. The reason was that starting from April 14, theaters in Nancheng began to show a new urban-themed movie "Married on the Bus".
This is the only Hong Kong movie introduced that year. It tells the story of a Hong Kong taxi driver’s happy worldly life, especially his wife (played by Li Yanyan) who is beautiful and fashionably dressed. In this conservative era full of revolutionary atmosphere, she is definitely a
A "strong medicine" that stimulates young people's hormones.
Needless to say, this movie naturally attracted countless young people. People in society must also be the main audience group who flock to it.
But at this time, all the "players" in Xuanwu District suddenly discovered that there were people in the eight movie theaters who were closely controlling the ticket supply!
In this case, although most famous people can still get cheap tickets based on their reputation, most of the "jokes" do not have such a big share, but they can only buy with their noses pinched like ordinary people.
High priced tickets.
Soon, the entrances of the eight cinemas quickly became the "target of public criticism".
If "Red Boy" and "Chen Da Bangchui" hadn't been famous and still powerful, and most of these movie theaters were within their completely controllable sphere of influence, countless bloodshed would have happened long ago.
