God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 220 The Booming Mahjong Business

The Mahjong Tournament is in full swing.

After a few days, the mahjong skills of the contestants became more and more familiar.

The onlookers are becoming more and more familiar with mahjong.

In order to win a good ranking and get rewards, many people bought a pair of mahjong directly after leaving the game, and went back to practice with three or five friends.

Since then, in less than two days, the furniture factory has sold more than 300 sets of mahjong.

The price of each pair of ordinary mahjong is as high as 200 yuan. For a while, the workers in the furniture factory were so busy that they began to produce mahjong day and night.

When the news came, Li Lizhi smiled happily.

From being uninterested to being out of stock, this is something Li Lizhi never thought of before.

After the first knockout round of the Mahjong Tournament, there are only more than 800 players left.

So, came the second knockout round, this time still adopting the four-in-one method, the battle situation became very tragic, and the various jokes before did not appear again, and those who could stay were those who were familiar with mahjong, so The game is also becoming more and more interesting.

Many people don't even eat breakfast early in the morning, just to take a good seat and watch the mahjong game.

Some people simply bring their own belongings and stay around for food and lodging, just to be able to catch up with the game in time.

Some insightful people shook their heads helplessly: "Crazy, all crazy, this mahjong is really harmful!"

The people in Chang'an City have never been so crazy before. After dinner, they no longer discuss "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", nor do they talk about happiness. Instead, they discuss mahjong with relish.

On this day, Zhang Du rushed back to the furniture factory in person, and personally reported to Du He what had happened in the past few days.

"Master, we have achieved great success!" At the end, Zhang Du said happily.

Du He shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy, how high the conversion rate will be is still unknown, don't forget, this time the young master has spent a lot of money, more than 20 yuan in prizes, that's it!" Throwing it out, it’s okay to succeed, but if it fails, it’s not a small sum!”

Zhang Du nodded: "Master, it's just that, according to the speed we sell mahjong, I'm afraid it will take about a month to earn back the money from the prizes. Isn't the speed a bit slow?"

wow.

Du He opened the fan and shook it a few times.

"Master, I don't know this truth. It's just that ordinary mahjong is not our main source of money. The main source of money is mahjong machines. Let the workers hurry up to produce mahjong machines. We can produce as much as possible. As soon as the mahjong competition is over, we will start to make money." Sell ​​it." Du He ordered.

"understand!"

When it comes to making money, Zhang Du is also interested.

Du He also ordered: "Of course, you can't be idle. You should quickly send people to find some shops, not those facing the street, but those in various squares. The cheaper the rent, the better. The environment and the location don't need to be good. , and then rent it out, I will ask Lizhi to assist Li, and in the early stage, let’s open [-] mahjong parlors first!”

Zhang Du looked puzzled: "Master, what is a mahjong parlor?"

Du He thought of such a very popular place in later generations, and said with a smile, "It's just a place for entertainment."

Zhang Du seemed to understand, and asked: "Do you need to have a beautiful croupier?"

Snapped.

Du He put away his fan, and knocked on Zhang Du's forehead: "Aren't you stupid, a croupier, the monthly expenses are so high, you think it's Chinese cabbage, everything is provided, and you will lose money when the time comes!"

Under Du He's arrangement, the furniture factory acted quickly. The mahjong parlor was personally coordinated by Li Lizhi and executed by Zhang Du.

In less than a day, [-] shops were rented, and all tables, chairs, benches and mahjong were fully furnished.

When Zhang Du announced the news at the end of the Mahjong Tournament on the second day, many people were excited.

In the past few days, many people have bought mahjong and returned home, but they are faced with two problems. One is that there is no dedicated table and it feels very shabby to play, and the other is that it is rare to meet someone who really likes mahjong. Not addictive.

Now when I hear that the mahjong hall has been established, there are a large number of mahjong masters who can learn their skills, how can I not be unhappy.

That night, the business of the mahjong parlor was booming.

A table of mahjong costs 30 yuan per hour. A mahjong hall is equipped with six tables and also sells tea and snacks. Of course, they are all imported from outside, but the price is two to three times that of outside. Hot.

There is no shortage of rich people in Chang'an City, but the most important thing is a large number of middle-class people. These people have land around them, and they mainly rely on leasing the land to poor peasants to collect rent. Most people idle around all day long, but they don't have any entertainment activities. , now that mahjong comes out, it just solves everyone's pain points and has received unprecedented popularity.

Overnight, the income of the 2 mahjong parlors reached more than [-] yuan.

The business during the day is slightly worse, but it can definitely be described as hot.

When Du He heard the news, he thought to himself that he had made the right bet this time.

"Entertainment, as long as it is a peaceful age, the market will never be bad!" Du He said with a smile.

Li Lizhi tilted her head, stared at Du He without blinking, and said curiously: "Du He, why are you so smart?"

Du He laughed and said, "Want to know?"

Li Lizhi nodded honestly.

Du Ho tapped three times on the table.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to know the answer. Come to my room at midnight tonight, and I will discuss it with you."

"Bah," Li Lizhi blushed, "Du He, you scoundrel."

Saying that, the little girl ran away shyly.

……

The mahjong tournament that lasted for ten days is finally over.

The first five rounds are the knockout rounds, followed by the accumulation of points.

Everyone found that the further back the game was, the more exciting it was.

The more you go to the back, the more you can show the strength of the master, and the more enjoyable it looks.

In the afternoon of the last day, it was the competition for the top four.

In the center of the huge table, there was only one mahjong table left, and four people sat on it.

Everyone suddenly discovered that the remaining table looked very different from the previous table, it was square, with a box underneath.

After several players were seated, everyone found that the table was empty and there were no mahjong tiles at all.

I saw a beautiful croupier, walked to the table, opened the box, and inside revealed a handle that everyone had never seen before. It looked like a reduced version of the handle for fetching water.

The croupier held the handle and shook it slowly.

Clap la la la.

There was a sound from the box under the mahjong table.

Not long after, a hole suddenly appeared on the left side of the mahjong table, and a barcoded mahjong tile neatly emerged from the middle.

When everyone saw it, they were too surprised to speak.

In the past, when everyone played mahjong, the most impatient thing was when shuffling and stacking the cards. They felt that they were wasting their time when stacking the cards.

But looking at the croupier's actions just now, it only took a moment to push out the neatly stacked mahjong tiles.

Could it be that there are several people hidden under this mahjong table?
