Island Tycoon

Chapter 297 Preheating
In a certain tea restaurant, there was a young couple having a drink.They have known each other since they were in Form [-], but their relationship only started in May this year.

The young and beautiful girl is called Lin Anqi, and the boy named Andy Lau is equally handsome.

Different from the love period of ordinary couples, there seems to be no sweetness between them as imagined, which sometimes makes Andy Lau feel helpless, because his girlfriend is really too calm and thinking.

"An Qi, shall we go to the movies tonight?" Andy Lau asked gently.

Because some happy events were hidden in his heart, Andy Lau couldn't help making small movements, using a straw to keep stirring the drink.Lin Anqi noticed this, looked at Andy Lau and asked, "Is there anything worth celebrating?"

"Yeah, how do you know?" The other party's speculation instantly aroused Andy Lau's joy. Seeing the other party was still not indifferent, Andy Lau said to himself: "Do you know that today I went to TVB to sign up for TVB artist training class, interview That MISS gave me a pass directly, and I will be able to enroll in January next year."

"Really?" Lin Anqi asked in a confirming tone: "Have you decided not to find a stable job, but to become an artist with an unpredictable future?"

"It's not that you don't know that I just finished Form [-], and my grades are not particularly good." Faced with this problem, Andy Lau couldn't help complaining: "Nowadays, there are better jobs outside, at least a college degree is required. Where can there be a company?" Willing to ask me."

Hearing this, Lin Anqi didn't want to give the other party too much advice, and said as she wished: "You can decide these things yourself. Anyway, I will give you five years. When I graduate from university and find a job, if your career can't be stabilized ..."

Lin Anqi didn't continue talking, and Lin Anqi didn't plan to make any changes to the promise they made before dating.She promised to give Andy Lau five years to work hard in her career. If Andy Lau can't stabilize his career after five years, she believes that she will make a more sensible choice by then.

"An Qi, don't be like this, okay?" Andy Lau was anxious and helpless.

He knew that Lin Anqi's family background was not bad, and the elders regarded her as an elite to train her.Moreover, her outstanding appearance also attracted many suitors.With Andy Lau's current situation, apart from being handsome, he is like a toad in other aspects.

"Let's go, didn't you say go to the movies?"

Lin Anqi picked up her bag and stood up. Seeing Andy Lau sitting there indifferently, Lin Anqi looked at her watch and said: "I have to go back to study before ten o'clock, now I can accompany you to watch the eight o'clock field."

Andy Lau stood up in a childish manner. There are advantages and disadvantages in associating with a woman with this personality. The advantage is that you don't need to coax her specially, and the disadvantage is that she also doesn't take your feelings into consideration.

……

"Is there any mistake, why are there so many people?" When he came to a southern cinema nearby, Andy Lau found that there was already a long queue of dozens of people at the box office of this cinema.

He knew that The True Colors of Heroes was going to be released today, but he didn't expect so many people to pay attention to it. These people queuing up to buy tickets almost crowded the entrance of the theater, and people continued to gather there one after another.

Andy Lau scratched his head, this is not acceptable.Judging from this situation, he didn't know how long he would be queuing up to buy a ticket, and Lin Anqi had already gone back after buying the ticket.

"There are tickets for sale, there are tickets for sale." The shout of a scalper attracted Andy Lau.

"You wait for me here, I'll buy tickets." Andy Lau told Lin Anqi.

"Yeah." Glancing at the scalpers, Lin Anqi knew this situation, it was impossible to queue up to buy tickets, and she didn't have so much time to wait.

Walking up to the scalpers, Andy Lau asked in a familiar tone: "Hey, old friend. I want two joint tickets. Is there a bargain for the show at [-] o'clock?"

"Coupled tickets, right?" The scalper looked down at the movie tickets and said, "Yes, seeing that you are so pleasing to the eye, two tickets will count as one hundred yuan for you."

This quotation directly made Andy Lau furious, and blamed: "Is there any mistake, a movie ticket in the theater only sells for ten yuan, and you have to pay fifty yuan for one ticket here?"

"Brother, if you can buy a ticket, you don't have to come here to find me." The scalper said confidently.

Indeed, in the current situation.Even if you are willing to queue up, there may not be any tickets left when the queue reaches you.If it weren't for the theater's strategy of buying a limited number of five tickets per person, where there might be movie tickets for sale now, they would have been gathered by scalpers long ago.

It's not like now, a few scalpers have only bought a dozen or twenty tickets in partnership.

Seeing the hesitant Andy Lau, the scalpers pointed to another colleague who was grabbing a job not far away, and boasted: "I am a relatively honest person. Take a look over there. His ticket sells for 80 yuan per ticket."

Andy Lau turned his head to pay attention, just in time to hear the other party yelling: "There are tickets for sale, the front row is 80 yuan a ticket, 80 yuan a ticket, anyone want it?"

Even though the fare was 80 yuan a ticket, there were still many people around him.It's just like Andy Lau, discussing with these scalpers whether the price can be reduced.

"Tch, they sell the front row, so it must be more expensive. I don't ask for these, and it doesn't matter if you give me the last few rows."

100 million is definitely not a small amount for Andy Lau who has no financial means, so he discussed with the other party: "Honestly, can it be cheaper?"

"If you want it, you don't want it." The scalpers were too lazy to tell Andy Lau's mother-in-law, and said impatiently: "If you don't buy it, I will close the file and go in to watch the show. The next show will start in 5 minutes."

Seeing that the opponent still had more than a dozen tickets, Andy Lau felt strange and asked: "You still have so many tickets in your hand, why don't you sell them and go to the movies?"

"Can't you? There are the last two tickets left for this point. If you don't buy them, I'll use one for myself and throw away one. As for the movie tickets at other times, it won't be too late to sell them after I finish watching them." Said aggressively.

"Oh, forget it. Sell those two tickets to us." Andy Lau didn't bother to argue with him, and took out his wallet from his trouser pocket.

"You want it now?" The scalpers smiled and made a gesture of six, sitting on the floor and asking for the price: "60 yuan."

"Did you make a mistake?" Andy Lau stopped his movements.

At this time, a young couple came up and asked the scalpers: "Hey, do you have tickets for sale here? I want two tickets for the eight o'clock seat."

"60 yuan a piece, do you want it?" The scalpers quoted.

I saw the boy glanced at the girl, who nodded in acceptance, and the boy said, "Then..."

"Sorry, I came first." Andy Lau stopped the other party politely, and then said to the scalpers: "Give me two tickets first."

"That's right. In fact, it's not easy for me to make money. I waited in line with my friends for a whole day before I got a total of 120 movie tickets." The scalper took the [-] yuan with a smile on his face, and then handed it to Andy Lau two movie tickets.

Until Andy Lau turned and left, the scalpers said to the young couple who came later: "Do you want the [-] o'clock joint tickets too? Just have the last two tickets."

When Andy Lau heard what the other party said, he really wanted to go back and beat up the scalpers.He didn't know that he was cheated, and the scalpers must have more than two tickets for [-] o'clock.It was just to see that he was bound to win, and deliberately told a lie to lure him into the game.

"Push the street!" Andy Lau cursed secretly, but still chose to calm down.After all, Lin Anqi was still waiting for him, and if she didn't buy it, she would buy it. The other party would definitely not refund him the ticket, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

What he didn't know was that as more and more people asked for movie tickets for other shows in the hands of this scalper, one ticket was actually sold for [-] yuan, and there was a situation where there was no market for the price.

Returning to the waiting place of Lin Anqi, Andy Lau showed the movie ticket in his hand and said, "Anqi, I got the ticket, let's go in and watch the movie."

"En." Lin Anqi responded.

In fact, she is described by the vocabulary of later generations, and the simple two words are-cold.

Apart from this point, she actually cared about Andy Lau in her heart, otherwise she would not have so many high-quality stocks chasing her, so she chose Andy Lau, a risky stock with an uncertain future.

Seeing a somewhat unhappy Andy Lau, Lin Anqi tried to divert the other's attention, and asked, "By the way, Andy Lau. Do you know what Mark's lou is?"

"Brother Mark's jacket? What is it?" It was rare for the other party to initiate the topic, and Andy Lau instantly diverted his attention.

Lin Anqi indicated a direction, and explained: "There have been people hawking over there, and it seems that they are selling well."

As far as the eye could see, a peddler was selling a few sets of windbreaker-like clothing, and there were many of his colleagues around him, and most of them were buyers asking for prices.This kind of windbreaker, which seemed to be worth seventy or eighty at most, was actually called by them for two hundred yuan a piece.

"Buy a windbreaker, and give me sunglasses and a box of toothpicks." One of the peddlers did not know where to find a batch of sunglasses and toothpicks in an emergency, and used them as gifts to compete with other colleagues.

"It's so funny again. It's reasonable to buy clothes and give sunglasses, but don't give toothpicks to pick your teeth?" Andy Lau was directly amused, and he didn't understand why the other party would do this.

It's all because he hasn't entered the theater to watch "The True Colors of Heroes", and those audiences who come out of the theater are especially aimed at young people.They basically have a set of Mark jackets, and they are not afraid of falling with a pair of sunglasses at night, and they still have a toothpick in their mouths.This look is exactly the imitation of Mark played by Zhou Runfa in the movie.

"This coat looks pretty good." Noticing that many people were dressed like this, Lin Anqi took a look and commented: "Hua Zai, why don't I buy you one?"

"No, I don't even like to wear this kind of clothes." Andy Lau refused.

Although Lin Anqi said to give it to him, and the two hundred yuan is not a burden on her.But Andy Lau just didn't want to spend her money. It's a pity that he was cut off by scalpers just now. He doesn't have enough money for two hundred yuan now, otherwise he can buy one with his own money.
