Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 216 216. Acquisitions

The dim spotlight was turned on again, Li Xiao stretched, and stood up from the musty sofa chair.

In Li Xiao's opinion, this movie is quite average. There are blurry snowflakes in many places, the picture quality is not clear, the sound is very bad, and the overall welcome experience is quite poor.

If he hadn't had to accompany the teacher to watch here, I'm afraid he would have left angrily halfway. But thinking that this might be his first and last time watching a movie with the teacher, his dissatisfaction immediately suppressed his heart.

However, unlike Li Xiao's life, the other two ladies in the movie theater were reluctant to get up.

Li Xiao looked at the two silently wiping tears in front of him, and the two people beside him who were silently dazed, with strange glances in their eyes, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Romance movies are still popular among female audiences. Like myself who only likes to watch sci-fi or action movies, he is really not interested in this kind of ancient romance movies. Besides, he has never experienced anything that can’t be achieved by being in love with each other. Not to mention the so-called empathy.

This is like the protagonists in many novels, who are usually extremely handsome. After all, if this is not the case, it will be difficult for readers to have a sense of substitution.

Just as Li Xiao was hesitating whether to try to wake up the two female audience members who were deep in thought and memory, hurried footsteps came from behind.

Li Xiao turned his head, and it was the conductor who came in, with a nervous expression on his face, and he said anxiously
"Three, hurry up and leave after reading. The little boss suddenly said that he would bring someone over to measure the size, and he was going to find a designer to renovate. Get up quickly, or the boss will find out that I secretly hid the film. , I still want to continue working in his newly opened shop."

While talking about the conductor running in hastily, still holding something in his hand.

She walked up to Huang Yu's side, and stuffed the three movie tickets into his hand.

"Then, these are the last three movie tickets in our cinema, you can take them."

"By the way, hurry up, our little boss will arrive in a few minutes."

At this time, the conductor was full of anxiety, and he couldn't help regretting in his heart, how could he soften his heart and let these three people who had never met before go inside to watch a movie.

Fortunately, the little boss made a special call and told him to close the door later.

Otherwise, if he appeared suddenly and was caught on the spot, it would be over.

Hearing the other party's words, Huang Yu quickly woke up like a dream, the confusion disappeared on his face, showing a grateful expression, took the three handwritten movie tickets, and quickly thanked
"Thank you! Big sister, let's go now."

As he spoke, he took out a red ticket from the bag and stuffed it into the hands of the conductor.

The conductor hastily declined

"Forget it, forget it, I can invite you to watch this movie theater, so let's go."

As he said that, he was about to help Huang Yu up and let them leave early.

However, before they left the movie theater, a roar came again from the direction of the entrance

"What's going on? Can anyone tell me what's going on? Isn't there no film in the warehouse? Why is there another roll here?"

"Yan Sanhua, right? I remember a few days ago when I asked you to check whether there were any film rolls in the warehouse, you told me to take them all out, so what happened to the roll on the projector now, you This is theft!!!"

Everyone was shocked, and quickly followed the voice to look back. A bald middle-aged man in his early 30s appeared in everyone's sight. Next to the bald middle-aged man was a fat man holding a file folder. On the contrary, it is about 30 years old.

Li Xiao secretly thought it was bad, but he didn't expect to be caught right away.

This is troublesome. Things like theft can be big or small.

He also doesn't know the approximate value of this kind of old movie film. If it's less than 500 yuan, it's okay to say, or if the other party is willing to private, then it's not a big problem.

However, if the other party is entangled, it will be over.

Hearing the familiar voice of the little boss, Yan Sanhua, who was already flustered, turned pale with fright.

She is over 40 years old this year, and she thought that she would reach retirement age after working in the new store opened by the small boss for a few years.

However, she didn't expect such a thing to happen in the end. The remorse in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and her eyes immediately turned red.

I heard the bald middle-aged man continue to point to Yan Sanhua and say,

"I'm going to call the police right now, and let the security department's operatives come and investigate thoroughly, how much stuff you stole from our house."

Yan Sanhua's lips are pale, and her calves are trembling a little. Although she admits that she likes to touch fish, and sometimes she likes to come in late and leave early, even when the movie theater is still busy, she often secretly sells tickets to scalpers, but she always thinks that she He is a good and dedicated employee.

The sofa in the cinema hall is broken, the floor tiles on the floor that I replaced were broken, and I found the cement to repair it myself. Even when there are minor problems with the projector, I fix it myself. Taking a break, I have worked in the cinema for more than 20 years.

For more than 20 years, you have done nothing but hard work. She secretly hid a roll of film full of snowflakes. She really thinks it is not too much.

But she immediately regretted it again. The market price of such an old film full of snowflakes is only 600 yuan.

It will be even cheaper if it is sold as scrap, and it is estimated that no one will want it for 200 yuan.

How could I have been obsessed with ghosts and obsessed secretly at the beginning, and today I still foolishly played it for these three people.

Now she even has some doubts about whether these three guys are partnering with the little boss to cheat her.

After all, the small boss wanted to quit him a long time ago. If the big boss hadn't strongly opposed it, and once the other party fired him, the small boss, who had to make up more than 20 months' wages and was naturally stingy, was completely unwilling to pay the money.

After all, I'm going to retire in a few years, so if I take out two years' wages to fire myself, it's better to continue to support him and use it as a staff.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have packed up my bags and left by now.

Now it's troublesome, I was arrested, and I don't know what will happen when the security department's operatives come.

There was despair in her eyes, she never expected to spend her last day at the cinema like this.

Before the call from the bald middle-aged man was dialed, Li Xiao had already figured out a solution in the blink of an eye. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to the bald-headed middle-aged man
"Wait a minute, this big sister Yan Sanhua did not steal anything."

The bald middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and looked Li Xiao up and down, with a disdainful expression on his face

"If you say no, then you are not? I still suspect that you are his accomplice. Why are you going to come into my movie theater to steal something? I will let the security department's operatives arrest you later."

Li Xiao continued to speak calmly

"First of all, I didn't have any contact with this Ms. Zhang Sanhua before, and I don't know this Ms. Zhang Sanhua, so your slander against me is unfounded."

"Secondly, this roll of tape is still in the movie theater and has not been taken out of the movie theater, and the film is still playing, so the theft you mentioned is fundamentally untenable."

"And you also said before that you asked Big Sister Yan Sanhua to search for any remaining film in the warehouse."

"But she didn't ask her to turn over the whole movie theater to find out whether there are other films in other parts of the movie theater. The location of the movie theater is so large, and it has been in operation for such a long time. Normal thing."

"Finally, a customer suddenly came to the movie theater and wanted to watch a movie. Under our repeated requests, the respectful and loving sister Yan Sanhua searched and found the movie film that was stuffed in the utility room by someone."

"So that the movie theater can operate normally, even if the security department's operatives come, I'm afraid there won't be any problems."

After speaking, he showed a confident smile on his face, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart.

It seems very reasonable, but if he really pursues it, he really has no idea what will happen. After all, he doesn't have any experience in handling cases and he doesn't know what judgments the guards will make.

Hearing Li Xiao's long series of excuses, the bald middle-aged man's face changed, and he was frantically thinking about whether the other party's words were true or not. What if he can successfully dismiss this guy without compensating for severance pay?

But the salary of more than two years is enough to do a few times of major health care, how can it be paid to her for no reason?

Here he immediately stopped thinking, and was about to pick up his mobile phone to make a call.

Li Xiao felt anxious when he saw this scene, but he failed to bluff the other party. The other party still wanted to call the police. If you lose sight of your work, this is a serious crime.

The squad leader who had been silent all this time stood up, and she said calmly to the bald middle-aged man
"I heard from Sister Yan Sanhua, do you intend to transform the old movie theater here into a new Internet cafe or shopping mall?"

The bald middle-aged man stopped dialing the buttons, and looked up and down again, the person in front of him.

He is not a guy without vision, after all, his father was able to open a movie theater decades ago, and he was able to unconditionally support the people in the movie theater after the movie theater was out of business, purely for his own thoughts.

It is conceivable that his family environment is also quite good. After all, the family environment is poor, and it is impossible to keep such a large movie theater and not manage it well.

So the bald middle-aged man has actually met many big shots, rich, powerful, black, white, and white, he has seen them all.

So he could tell at a glance that the girl who appeared in front of him was a bit different from the boy before.

The temperament of the other party is very similar to some young daughters of the rich second generation or even the third generation, and the temperament is much stronger than those daughters.

Temperament is something that cannot be seen or understood, but it can be felt faintly after watching too much, just like a hunting dog, who may have never seen a lion since he was born, but the moment he met a lion, his fine hair It will all stand upright, that is the momentum from the high-ranking people.

The bald man took half a step back in middle age, and then he felt that even if the other party was a rich daughter, it didn't have much to do with him, so he stopped backing quickly.

However, his tone became weaker by two points, he frowned and asked

"Yes, I have this plan. I wonder what you can do?"

He didn't quite understand what kind of medicine was sold in this little girl's gourd.

Wanting to show a harmless smile, I shook my head

"It's nothing expensive, it's just that my family owns a few properties near here, and I also opened a small shop on Shisanwan Food Street in front of me."

"So I still have a little understanding of the planning here. The place where we are now is an area to be rebuilt."

"Although the heads of households in urban villages did not fully agree, the number of consent letters signed has reached 7%, which means it has entered the stage of pending review."

"The higher-ups will directly send people down to solicit opinions from the remaining [-]% of property owners door-to-door. Of course, the remaining people can still choose not to agree."

"However, regardless of whether you agree or not, the buildings in the urban village will be in a closed stage."

"That is to say, no matter whether it is any approval or reconstruction, there is no way to pass the application. You can renovate the original building, but you cannot change the structure."

"You can't increase the floor area, you can't add floors to the building, you can't even change the room structure inside."

At the beginning, everyone didn't understand why the squad leader was talking about the reconstruction of the village in the city.

However, when the squad leader spoke to the end, everyone suddenly realized, and the bald middle-aged man's expression changed wildly. He quickly looked at the fat man with a big belly beside him, and asked in surprise
"Wen Tao, is what she said true?"

The fat man named Wen Tao also took a deep breath, patted his forehead and said quickly

"Oh, that's right, I almost fucking forgot about it. The main reason is that you have been doing demolition for too long, and it has never been demolished."

"I even forgot that this area has become a closed area. You want me to help you renovate the walls, knock out these floor tiles, and rebuild it. If you want to demolish it all, it may not be realistic to build an Internet cafe. "

"If you can't pass the approval, just as you are about to remove it, someone will put a seal on it for you."

Hearing Wen Tao's confirmation, the bald middle-aged man gasped.

But he quickly realized that he was talking about calling the police, so why did he get involved in the issue that this village in the city cannot be demolished.

Thinking that this dilapidated movie theater cannot be demolished, and money has to be posted in it every day, even if the money is not posted, it can only be left vacant here.

The bald middle-aged man became even more angry, he said in a bad tone
"Whether it's demolished or not has nothing to do with you. Now I have to call the police. You just wait to go to jail."

The squad leader didn't bother him to make a call, but picked up his mobile phone and said softly
"I'm Chang Hong Group, the second daughter of Chang Wanhao. Originally, I was very interested in buying your movie theater, which doesn't have a lot of customers. After all, you can't make money if you open it. If you don't open it, you can wait for it to be empty." No compensation for demolition."

"After all, my father and some other friends account for half of the remaining 30% of the properties in the urban village that are unwilling to move, which means that more than 15% of the properties are in our hands."

"If my father and his friends are not willing to demolish, the approval rate here will never exceed 95%. If the approval rate does not reach 95%, it means that this place will never be demolished."

"So now are you going to buy a movie theater that can't be operated, or sell it at a market premium of 15%?"

The bald middle-aged man didn't expect this seemingly gentle and quiet girl in front of him to suddenly become so powerful.

He was so frightened that he took four or five steps back before stopping on the wall. Before he could speak, the fat man named Wen Tao frowned, looked up and down the monitor, and then he exclaimed

"It turned out to be Miss Chang. It's a pleasure to meet you. As a subordinate supplier, Zhuo Wentao, I had the honor to meet the second lady once at the Changhong Group's annual meeting last year. It's just that the lights here are too dim. It's really rude to fail to recognize Second Miss all of a sudden."

As he spoke, he quickly wiped his hands on his pants, and then shook hands with the monitor.

Seeing his old friend and confirming the other party's identity, the bald middle-aged man's expression kept changing.

Originally, his plan was very good. This place is very close to the city center, and there is a large commercial supermarket across the road. It must be a good business for him to open an Internet cafe less than 10 minutes away from there. Besides, there are so many young people nearby. If you are bored after get off work, you must come here to surf the Internet to relax, so your income must be quite a lot.

However, I didn't expect such a genius idea to be aborted before it even started.

The bald middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is simply God's jealousy of talents. He was born at an untimely time, so there is no room for him, a business genius, to display his talents.

The bald middle-aged man saw his buddy standing next to that domineering girl flattering him with a dog-legged face, and he couldn't help being angry. He could be considered his good brother anyway.

Decades of old friendship is not good enough for a little girl, but she immediately thought of the identity of this little girl and raised Changhong Group, and he felt a little relieved.

After all, other people's families are not comparable to their own small broken business. If you are a small shrimp, then the other party is a big whale.

After discussing with his good brother, under Zhuo Wentao's strong instigation, the bald middle-aged man decided to sell the large theater on Shijing Road to the monitor at a premium of 15%.

After all, what the squad leader said was very reasonable. If the other party didn't sell it, then the movie theater would be rotten in his own hands.

And the distance from the expropriation is nowhere in sight, and this movie theater is different from other self-built houses.

Others can use it for other purposes even without demolition, such as renting out people to live in, or opening some convenience stores, but he can't do it here.

With this structure, apart from opening a movie theater, there is no way to do anything else.
