Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 968
"Let's talk about this later." Duan Yun asked Cao Dong after looking around the arcade hall, "How is the decoration of our audition room?"

"It's right next to it." Cao Dong said, and Duan Yun walked out of the arcade room.

Passing through a curved aisle, the three of them came to several warehouses located on the inner side of the basement hall.

Compared with the entrance of the warehouse, this place is much more spacious. There are two doors on each side. One of them has a sign of "Venus Ballroom", while the other has a sign of "Video Hall".

At this time, there were people coming and going in and out of the dance hall and the entrance of the video hall, which seemed very lively.

"You are an entertainment city." Duan Yun said in surprise.

"All the speakers in the dance hall and video hall are produced by our factory. The stereo effect is very good. I think the sound audition room we made before was not grounded enough, so I simply opened a dance hall and video hall. I usually use it for I will bring them here to visit and let them experience the sound effect of our stereo subwoofer..." Cao Dong said.

"That's a good idea." Duan Yun nodded upon hearing this, and followed Cao Dong into the ballroom first.

In fact, Duan Yun also wanted to open a special place such as a dance hall and video hall to demonstrate sound effects, but in the early 80s, it was very risky to open a dance hall or video hall in a northern city like Daxing, and it was easy to attract people. Although it is easy to make money with a large number of three teachings and nine streams, it is definitely not as fast as he sells speakers, and the procedures for opening this kind of place are very troublesome, so Duan Yun does not want to get involved in this kind of entertainment business.

What Duan Yun didn't expect was that Cao Dong was able to open a dance hall and a video hall in Shanghai, which he didn't expect.

But in any case, as long as it helps his sales of speakers, and does not violate the law and will not cause trouble, Cao Dong does not want to interfere too much in how to run this basement.

After Duan Yun and his wife followed Cao Dong into the ballroom, they found that even though it was morning, there were still a lot of young people gathered, all of them stylishly dressed, dancing non-stop to the manic melody.

"Have you completed the formalities for opening the dance hall and the video hall at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?" Duan Yun asked Cao Dong next to him.

"Brother Duan, don't worry, I will never do that kind of illegal business. All the business items in our basement have business licenses, and we pay taxes every month according to the regulations. We will never owe the country a penny." Cao Dong said.

"You kid is quite capable, you can actually go through all the formalities." Duan Yun said with some surprise.

"It's thanks to my wife. She is much more capable than me, and she can talk too much. The manager of Da Guangming Cinema was drunk twice by her before, and then he took a detour when he saw my wife..." Cao Dong pouted, and continued: "In the past six months since coming to Shanghai, she went back and forth between the movie theater and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau every day in order to go through these procedures. There was no one in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau who didn't know her from top to bottom, including the movie theater. The manager also helped me a lot, and I only need to hand over half of the net profit to them every month, and then all the procedures are completed..."

"So that's how it is." Duan Yun was stunned when he heard this.

In fact, when Duan Yun saw Cao Dong's wife Yang Li'e for the first time last year, she felt that this woman was very smart and capable, with quick thinking and quick speech. Not only was she good at housekeeping, she was also very business-minded. When he and Cao Dong were on the same street in Daxing Electronics, they managed the business in an orderly manner, and Cao Dong was completely reduced to the role of a helper in front of her.

From this point of view, Cao Dong is still a very lucky person. To be able to marry such a wife is really a treasure.

Although it is said that half of the profits of the video hall and dance hall here have to be handed over to the cinema, in Duan Yun's view, this is also very cost-effective, because Da Guangming Cinema not only provides them with a venue, but also provides water and electricity supply and security. When some things happen, Da Guangming Cinema can help to solve them. After all, they are a state-owned enterprise, and the SH City Cultural Bureau, the superior department, has a great backing, so the money is very worthwhile.

"Where's your wife?" Cheng Qingyan who was following Duan Yun asked curiously.

"She should be in the office inside. There are usually a lot of things here, and she basically manages them. I mainly deal with the affairs of the Shanghai office." Cao Dong said respectfully.

"That's right, let's look at the video hall again." Duan Yun said, and went to the next video hall.

Although domestic video halls were all the rage in the 90s, video halls were still very rare in 85. Because of the high price, only state-owned enterprises and public institutions purchased video recorders at that time, and private individuals could not afford them.

However, Cao Dong has made a lot of money following Duan Yun in the past two years. He can still afford to open a video studio by spending thousands of dollars to buy a video recorder and a color TV.

"Hello, Brother Dong." Seeing Cao Dong leading Duan Yun to the door, the two young people who were sitting at the door selling tickets immediately stood up and greeted Cao Dong respectfully.

"Yes." Cao Dong responded, and led Duan Yun and his wife into the video hall.

Like the dance hall, the video hall is also very well decorated, with a total of 8 rows of fabric sofas, and high-end subwoofer speakers produced by Duanyun Electronics Factory are placed on both sides, and a wooden cabinet is placed in the middle of the front. A large color TV, dozens of viewers are watching with relish the Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts movies on the TV.

Compared with movie theaters, although the TV in the video hall is small, it is far from the enjoyment of watching movie screens. However, the video hall here shows some of the latest Hong Kong and Taiwan movies that have not been imported in China, and the ticket price is relatively cheap, so it still attracts many people. Fewer fans and young people.

At this time, the video hall is playing "Project A" starring Jackie Chan. This movie was introduced in China two years later in 1987. The dubbing is still in Cantonese. Even so, the wonderful martial arts scenes still make these audiences hooked .

The Tianyin subwoofers placed in the four corners of the video room have really good sound effects, especially when there is a martial arts scene, the shocking sound effects of punches to the flesh make people feel as if they are in a movie, and there is something indescribable. Feelings of stimulation and excitement.

After experiencing in the video hall for a while, Duan Yun and the three got up and left the hall, and came to the office of Cao Dong's wife Yang Li'e.

"Duan... Manager Duan!" Seeing Duan Yun suddenly appearing at the door of her office with her husband, Yang Li'e was taken aback, then stood up with a smile on her face, and said in a courteous tone: "Manager Duan, sit down!"
