Yuanshin: Xiangshengtang went bankrupt, I made movies to make money

Under the expectant eyes of Boss Qian and other businessmen, Hu Tao spoke.

"I have seen your sincerity, but I have to think about cooperation."

"Understood!" Boss Qian and the others nodded, "Then we brothers will wait here for Hall Master Hu to finish your consideration and to hear from you."

Although he said he understood, but Boss Qian and the others did not leave. On the contrary, it seemed that we would not leave unless you agreed.

The reaction of several people made Hu Tao frowned, and secretly said, "This group of guys is really not easy to get along with."

Hu Tao returned to the Hall of Rebirth and hurriedly called an emergency meeting.

At the conference round table, several elders were seated, and the core ceremonial officials were also in place, including Li Yan.

"The situation is such a situation, what do you think?"

Hu Tao briefly explained the reason to everyone, and asked, "Can we cooperate?"

After everyone thought for a while, an elder spoke.

"I think it's okay, after all, the current economic situation of our Xiangshengtang is not optimistic."

"Although the 30 Moras of the Manmin Church came into the account yesterday, it only played a mitigating effect on the financial situation of the entire Church of the Past. It still needs at least 300 million Moras to maintain cash flow and resist unexpected risks. out of financial crisis."

"So we should put aside the stereotypes of Boss Qian and others now and reach a cooperation with them."

"This will also promote the movies of our Xiangshengtang, improve the prejudiced impression of Liyue people on us, and also solve the funding problem."

The elder spoke in a logical manner. From the perspective of pure interests, this kind of suggestion is understandable and most in line with the interests of the entire Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao also nodded, and then asked everyone, "What's your opinion, Elders Jiang?"

Everyone nodded silently, approving the elder's opinion very much.

"Li Yan, what do you think?"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Hu Tao asked Li Yan again.

Because the projector was made by Li Yan, we should respect his own opinion.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Yan, the youngest guest official in Xiangsheng Hall, and everyone cared about his opinion just like Hu Tao.

After all, in the past two days, Li Yan's achievements needless to say, everyone is very recognized.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Yan also knew that he couldn't keep silent.

Li Yan said straight to the point: "As for this cooperation, my personal opinion is not optimistic."

"Oh?" Hu Tao blinked. She didn't expect Li Yan to be so straightforward, and she was a little surprised, "Tell me your reason."

"First, this group of businessmen pays too much attention to their interests. After the cooperation, they may not be sure what they will do to make them stumble. After all, if we split half of the money, they will be very heartbroken. Everyone has seen them before. look."

"So their reputation for cooperation is negative to me, and they are not trustworthy!"

"Second, this group of businessmen came together. It seems that someone integrated them together to form an alliance of interests. My guess is that the purpose of this alliance is to deal with us at the Hall of Death."

"For example, after the cooperation is reached, they, as movie distributors, naturally control the local theaters where Liyue people watch movies."

"At that time, the people of Liyue will have formed a habit. If they go to watch movies at their place, the distribution of our movies will be restricted by them. At that time, we will focus on customers and let us give them the profits. Otherwise, we will not let the movie be released. There is no way!"

"Third! And the most important point."

As Li Yan spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Don't you think they are too self-righteous?"

"If you want to cooperate, rely on the large number of people, and pull us to cooperate with shamelessness; if you don't want to cooperate, just kick us aside."

"Everyone should not have forgotten how they treated the people in our Pastoral Hall a few days ago."

Li Yan said, looking around at everyone at the conference table seriously.

When everyone was reminded by him, they really remembered how they were teased by these hateful businessmen when they promoted the movie a few days ago.

At the least, they insulted them with words, and at the worst, they directly beat them up, and then kicked them out of the house.

"That's right! Why do they cooperate if they want to cooperate, and don't want to if they don't want to!" An official of the ceremony hammered the table angrily, speaking excitedly.

"Indeed!" Yiguan Ayu nodded. "This group of businessmen are too focused on profit. I think what Li Yanke said is very possible. They are not the kind of people who give away profits."

"What do the elders think?" Hu Tao asked the elders.

After listening to Li Yan's words, the elders also looked at each other, thought about it, and felt that it was not unreasonable.

Especially the second item Li Yan said, about the union of merchants, they really didn't think about it.

"What Li Yankeqing said is very reasonable." An elder nodded and said, and then expressed his concerns.

"But now the economy of Xiangshengtang has only eased a little. Now the movies have been seen by the people of Liyue, and the supply exceeds the demand."

"But if there are no businessmen to promote it, then our projector movies won't create any benefits."

Regarding Elder Jiang's concerns, Li Yan nodded, agreeing very much.

"Elder Jiang, don't worry. Since I can make a projector, I naturally have a way to promote the projector."

Li Yan said with confidence.

Li Yan is not bragging, but really has a way.

Especially when he couldn't promote it before, he had already thought of a way, but he was just about to take action.

Xiangling directly did him a favor by promoting the movie.

And now, if this group of businessmen are still unwilling to give up and still want to get a share of the pie, Li Yan doesn't intend to bear it any longer.

……

After the internal meeting of Xiangsheng Hall, everyone agreed with Li Yan's opinion.

Hu Tao also walked outside the Hall of Rebirth, and brought news to a large group of businessmen who were waiting outside.

"For this cooperation, our unanimous opinion in Xiangshengtang is that it will not be considered."

Hu Tao said with a smile: "So you should go back wherever you came from!"

"Don't! Master Hu!"

Hearing the news of non-cooperation, these businessmen became anxious immediately, and hurriedly asked to stay.

"We all came here with sincerity, and we sincerely want to cooperate with you at Xiangshengtang! If you cooperate with us, it will definitely be a win-win situation!"

"Oh?" Hu Tao frowned, and asked with a hint of teasing: "You really came to cooperate with sincerity?"

"Of course! Can there be fakes?" All the merchants said in unison.

"Then if we get [-]% of the profits from the movie, what about Xiangshengtang? Are you willing to do the same?" Hu Tao asked with a smile.

"I..." Boss Qian and the others were at a loss for words.

"Look!" Hu Tao said with a smile: "Since it is a sincere cooperation, why can't you accept it?"

"We are sincerely cooperating, but Mr. Hu, your conditions are too... too much!" said Boss Chen of the timber shop.

"That's right! It's too much. How can we get [-]% of the profit even if we open our mouth? Isn't it a loss for us!"

A group of businessmen agreed one after another.

"The condition is such a condition, if you accept it, you accept it, if you don't accept it, you don't accept it!" Hu Tao didn't bother to explain to this group of people.

After all, at the beginning you were not even willing to share [-]-[-]%, but also wanted [-]-[-]%, [-]-[-]%, and some businessmen even said [-]%.

Now it's your turn, if you are not willing, why should I be willing.

……

In the end, the negotiations broke down and the businessmen walked away cursing.

"What the hell! I really thought I could make a fortune with that crap movie!"

"Exactly! You are a funeral buryer, you really don't know how much you weigh, and you dare to stick your nose on your face with a broken movie!"

"That's right! Without us, let's see what Xiangshengtang uses to promote this shitty movie!"

"that is!"

Seeing that the merchants were all fighting against each other, Boss Chen of the timber shop rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

He stood up and said to the fellow businessmen.

"Everyone is humiliated today, we can't bear it! We should unite and collectively boycott his movie! Let his movie have no place to play! Let them go to Shengtang and they won't be able to make money!"

"Hey~ What's the use of boycotting?" Boss Qian sighed, "We boycotted. Although they can't make money in Xiangsheng Hall, we can't make money either!"

"Hey! This statement is wrong!"

Boss Chen of the lumber shop waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if we don't earn money for that movie, but we have to earn money for Xiangshengtang!"

"Think about it, everyone, why didn't they do a good job in the funeral business in Xiangsheng Hall, and came here to make a movie that competed with the storyteller?"

"That's not because of their financial problems, so they found another way! It's just that they didn't know that there are such talented people in their Xiangshengtang, so they made this movie and let them make money, otherwise they would have closed down."

Speaking of this, Boss Chen smiled, "As long as we unite to resist and make them have no place to show movies, sooner or later their Xiangsheng Hall will be dragged down!"

"At that time, we will pay a lot of money to recruit the talent who can make movies! Wouldn't it be a good thing?"

"And during the boycott period, we can also have people publicize to the people of Liyue that their movies in the Hall of Rebirth are not clean!"

"That's because they used sorcery to capture people's souls in the Xiangsheng Hall, and forced them to suffer and perform!"

"And we can also let people record their "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" story, and let the storyteller tell storytelling in his own store!"

"This not only suppresses Xiangshengtang, but also uses their stories to make money for us. Isn't it beautiful?"

When the businessmen heard Boss Chen's words, they were immediately enlightened and praised them one after another.

"Okay! It's your boss Chen's idea!"

"That's right! Not only do they rob them of their stories about the Hall of Rebirth, and discredit them, but they can also make money! That's great!"

……

The merchants hit it off immediately, and under the leadership of the timber shop boss and Qian boss, they started this action to boycott the Xiangshengtang.

Chapter 25 Gan Yu's Doubts

Liyue, Lingjuguan, Toy Research Institute.

In a pitch-black and dim environment, steel pipes extend and line up in this dilapidated ancient ruins. Red molten iron flows along the pipes, and the terrifying heat distorts the air.

On the top of the ruins, countless gears and steel devices dragged the ferocious iron tools, beating each part mercilessly.

'boom!boom!boom! '

The dull sound of steel colliding with steel echoed in this dim laboratory.

On the automated track are the parts of the relic guards one by one, and they are neatly and orderly placed on different tracks.

Beside the track were a few foolish researchers wearing protective suits that covered their entire bodies.

They put these cast relic guard parts, put different codes on them, and then sent them to the workshop for assembly.

tread!tread!tread!

The leather shoes made a crisp and rhythmic sound on the iron floor, and a hooded debt handler with a cold demeanor walked in.

Behind him was a tall and thin middle-aged man who was wearing a Liyue costume, which was made of silk and was quite elegant.

However, he also brought a black windbreaker to cover up his clothes, and he didn't want people to discover his identity.

"The road ahead, go on your own..."

The debt handler looked at the middle-aged man indifferently, and after finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.

After the debt handler left, he looked around the surrounding environment, and after confirming that he would not be discovered, he took off his hood with confidence.

He has high cheekbones, slender eyebrows, and always has a faint smile on his face, which seems to have a strange kindness and intimacy.

This person is the owner of the lumber shop who used to go to Shengtang to collect debts, shopkeeper Zhou.

He was also the one who joined hands with Boss Qian of Xinyuexuan and a group of businessmen to boycott the Hall of Rebirth yesterday.

"Sure enough, no matter how many times I watch it, I always feel that this place is so shocking!" Boss Zhou took a deep breath and sighed.

After sighing, he straightened his hood and walked deeper into the toy research institute along the production line guarded by the ruins.

After a few minutes' journey, he came to a relic gate.
