In the room, Shi Zhijian put Bao'er down. Bao'er suddenly pointed at Shi Zhijian's neck and said, "Uncle, why are there little strawberries on your neck?"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly ran to the dressing mirror and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were a few red bruises on his neck that were sucked out with his mouth. They were oval-shaped and looked like strawberries.
Shi Zhijian understood it after thinking about it carefully.
Nie Yongqin, this girl looks very serious on the surface, but she can't stop the car when she goes crazy.
Shi Zhijian found a men's brown round-spot silk scarf, buried it under the collar of his white shirt, wrapped his neck, and put on a gray suit jacket to match the scarf.
"Ajian, it's time to eat!" Sister Shi Yufeng shouted from the dining table.
Shi Zhijian quickly tidied things up before walking over.
Shi Yufeng was setting her chopsticks. When she looked up and saw Shi Zhijian dressed so grandly, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you crazy? Do you think you are eating Western food when you are dressed like this?"
"Ahem, life should have a sense of ritual, dress more formally, and the food will taste better!"
"I've never heard of it. You used to rub your face on the dining table without even washing your face."
"That was before, I..."
Before Shi Zhijian finished speaking, Baoer ran over with the little black dog, pointed at Shi Zhijian and said to his mother: "Uncle has strawberries!"
"What strawberry?"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly covered Bao'er's mouth: "She is greedy and wants to eat strawberries."
Shi Yufeng glared at Bao'er: "What kind of strawberries should you eat? Wait until I buy you an apple! An apple a day will keep diseases away from me! You will be unlucky if you eat strawberries! Only ghosts like to eat that stuff!"
Bao'er still wanted to struggle, but Shi Zhijian hurriedly leaned into her ear: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense, I'll treat you to a hamburger!"
There seems to be some magic in the word "hamburger",
Baoer immediately stopped moving and blinked, "Uncle, don't lie to me."
Shi Zhijian took a deep breath, let go of Bao'er and said, "Of course! Your uncle, I will keep my word and make a living!"
…
Bao'er picked up the food with chopsticks, looked down at the little black dog squatting on the ground, looking up at her, and threw a big white steamed bun to it.
Before the little black dog could take the big white steamed bun away in his mouth, Shi Yufeng bent down and picked up the steamed bun, "What a sin, did you feed all these good steamed buns to the dog?" She turned around and scolded Bao'er, "Waste of food! Do you think you were a waste of food in your previous life?
Is the princess reincarnated?"
As he spoke, he peeled off the dirty skin of the steamed bun, threw it to the little black dog, and ate it himself, "I'll feed it with leftovers later!"
Baoer pouted and said nothing.
The little black dog barked at Shi Yufeng in protest.
Shi Yufeng glared at the little black dog, "No matter how fierce you bark, it's useless! I want to save money first!"
These words were clearly addressed to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian took a piece of tofu with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, "Sister, what are you going to do again?"
"I don't do anything but save money, isn't it okay?" Shi Yufeng said, but picked up a piece of scrambled egg with chopsticks and put it into Shi Zhijian's bowl flatteringly, "Don't just eat tofu, eating eggs is nutritious."
Shi Zhijian took a bite of mung bean porridge with scrambled eggs, and then looked up at his elder sister: "I'll give you a chance. If you don't tell me, I won't ask again."
"Ahem, actually it's nothing!" Shi Yufeng looked strange, "I have hands and feet but I can't just eat at home. Now I quit my job in the plastic flower factory, so I want to find another job."
"You can go to our factory. Whatever you want, I will accept it."
"That's not good. Everyone knows that you are my younger brother. It will be embarrassing for me to work there." Shi Yufeng hesitated, holding his chopsticks in his rice bowl, "So I want to buy a theater..."
"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was stunned.
Shi Yufeng said hurriedly: "As you know, I don't have any hobbies. In addition to listening to the theater, I just watch Chen Baozhu! The contract of the Taiping Theater happened to expire, and the rent was not too expensive, so I wanted to buy it and give it a try.
Just run the business..."
Who is Shi Zhijian? One look at his sister's expression and he knows it's not that simple.
"This shouldn't be your idea alone, right? You've been working in a plastic flower factory, how can you have this kind of insight!"
"You guessed it right." Shi Yufeng didn't hide it, "A Yong told me. He is very familiar with the theater owner. Seeing that I usually have nothing to do, he suggested that I run the theater."
"Ayong?"
"Xiao Yong! The factory is not too busy now that the Chinese New Year has just passed. He has been helping me run errands in the past few days and found a lot of possible business. Finally, I thought it would be a good idea to buy this theater!"
Shi Zhijian did not speak, but was thinking about whether the Taiping Theater had a future.
Tai Ping Theater is the earliest theater in Hong Kong in the 19th century. It was built before 1890 and is located on Des Voeux Road West in Shek Tong Tsui. The entire theater can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, with front, middle and back seats, two floors of super and private rooms.
Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that now Hong Kong movies have become popular and TVB has been established. Soon with the launch of free TV, new gadgets such as televisions will also become popular.
By then, many Hong Kong people will be able to watch TV directly at home, and all kinds of programs will be available, which will have a great impact on traditional theaters, especially theaters that focus on Cantonese opera.
To put it bluntly, theaters are a sunset industry, otherwise theater owners would not transfer such a profitable business.
"Do you agree or not? Let's talk about it!" Shi Yufeng couldn't help asking when she saw Shi Zhijian eating without speaking.
"The theaters are not easy to run, especially this kind of Cantonese opera theater." Shi Zhijian looked at the old sister and gave his opinion, "Don't think that the Panxia theater can just wait and collect money. This kind of theater needs very strong connections in the industry, such as people from popular theater troupes.
Do you know how to do the construction and maintenance of old customers?"
"This...ahem! Is it that complicated?" Shi Yufeng was a little timid.
She didn't think much about it when Hu Yong suggested running a theater to her, thinking that she would be able to watch free movies after the move.
While eating melon seeds and watching the show, people around her kept calling her "the boss's wife". Shi Yufeng felt very happy just thinking about it.
Shi Zhijian put down his chopsticks, took a tissue and wiped his mouth. He looked at the stunned elder sister and said, "You can do it if you really want to do it, but after it is decided, it will not be a traditional Cantonese opera theater, but will be converted into a cinema."
"Ah, movie theater?" Shi Yufeng couldn't keep up with the younger brother's thoughts.
"Yes, it's a movie theater." Shi Zhijian tapped his fingers on the dining table, "Now our company already has a Cathay Cinema chain and a Golden Harvest Film Company, and they can support your business by then. Even if this business is not profitable,
, and we can’t pay for it.”
After a pause, he said: "Besides, I will assign professional talents to help you when the time comes. You just need to follow his suggestions."
Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes and felt that this was a good idea.
